Xie Yunhe was carried away in a strange posture.
Su Xiaoxiao baked pancakes and brought them to the house for Cheng Sang and the man to eat. She also brought some to Ling Yun and the others next door.
Mei Ji didn’t sleep the night before. She wanted to see how Ling Yun was going to refine the Saintess into a puppet.
Ling Yun didn’t hide anything and let her see it openly.
Unexpectedly, she failed to live up to her expectations. As she watched, she collapsed on the chair and fell asleep.
When Su Xiaoxiao went over, her mouth was open and she was snoring, drooling from sleep.
After tasting Su Xiaoxiao’s culinary skills, Ling Yun’s secret guards finally understood why their young master did not think about food and drink in the Great Zhou.
After experiencing such godly culinary skills, they realized their chef made pig food.
Su Xiaoxiao said to Ling Yun, “Have some too.”
Ling Yun looked at the egg pancakes on the plate and at the scallion pancakes in the hands of the four secret guards in the courtyard outside. He asked, “Why are my pancakes different from theirs?”
The scallion pancake was clearly smoother and more fragrant.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “You can’t eat such greasy food all at once. The egg pancakes I baked are also delicious. Try them if you don’t believe me.”
Ling Yun reluctantly took a bite.
“Is it delicious?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Ling Yun grunted vaguely.
The four secret guards quickly finished the scallion pancakes and were a little unsatisfied. Thev had iust seen Madam Wei bring four egg Dancakes to their young master.
Young Master’s appetite was so small that he would definitely not be able to finish it.
The four of them waited.
They couldn’t wait anymore and lay at the door to take a look.
Heavens!
Where were the pancakes?!
Ling Yun burped.
Su Xiaoxiao came over from Ling Yun’s side with an empty plate. She felt that she had forgotten something.
“I think there’s something I haven’t done…”
She looked at the sky and muttered. Soon, Wei Ting returned with a dark expression, followed by the extremely resentful Wei Liulang.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the two of them and trembled. She remembered..
After obtaining her Saintess puppet, she was so happy that she forgot about her beautiful husband and Sixth Brother in the mine…
“It… it was Dad!”
Su Xiaoxiao pushed the blame away.
Wei Liulang went to look for Wei Xu aggrievedly and lay on the edge of the bed to hug his arm. “Dad, how could you have forgotten about Little Seven and me at the mine? We waited for two days. If something hadn’t happened to the mine, we wouldn’t have known that you had already taken the person away.”
There was no news of that person in the mine. However, many guards of the Imperial Court suddenly came to investigate. They said that there was a murder in the mine.
He and Little Seven followed them and realized that they were going in the direction of the abandoned mine. Seeing that Emissary Lu had been captured, they more or less guessed that the person in the abandoned mine had disappeared.
Wei Xu sat up and coughed lightly. “Didn’t I leave a secret signal for you?
Wei Liulang said blankly, “Did you leave it behind? Where is it?”
Wei Xu said seriously, “…I did!”
He refused to admit that he had forgotten his sons!
Wei Ting looked at Su Xiaoxiao with a dark expression. Just because Sixth Brother was easy to fool did not mean that he was as well.
It was this heartless girl who had completely forgotten about her husband!
Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes darted around and she said playfully, “Wei Ting, I have good news for you. Dad severely injured the Saintess and Ling Yun came. He helped me turn the Saintess into my puppet.”
So she had obtained a Saintess puppet!
In the eyes of the little fat peacock, he was even inferior to a puppet!
It hurt!
However, Wei Ting and Wei Liulang had stayed in the mine for two days and had gained something.
Fu Su found out that there was actually a place to forge weapons in the mine. Moreover, since last month, weapons and silver had been continuously sent out.
When Wei Ting and Wei Liulang sneaked in to take a look, they realized that they were all military knives and spears.
The two of them checked secret letters and account books and found that the weapons contained ere transported to the northern border of the Southern Wilderness.
That place was adjacent to the southern border of the Great Zhou. It was where the Su family’s army was stationed.
It seemed that the King of the Southern Wilderness was planning to send troops to the Great Zhou.
This marriage was iust a cover. All the envovs would become hostazes. If Wei Xu had not saved Princess Hui An, Princess Hui An would have become a hostage who was used to deal with the Su family’s army.
Originally, according to the plan, they wanted the Saintess and the King of the Southern Wilderness to slowly wear each other down.
However, the King of the Southern Wilderness had already secretly made war deployments. They had to speed up the process.
It would be best if they could stop the King of the Southern Wilderness in the capital. After all, the price of war was too high.
When the two countries fought, the people would be plunged into misery and suffering. The sacrifices were hot-blooded soldiers and innocent border city citizens.
If they really could not stop it, they would try their best to weaken the King of the Southern Wilderness’ troops.
The family sat in Wei Xu’s room for a meeting.
Wei Liulang said, “Why don’t we assassinate the King of the Southern Wilderness?”
“This plan is not appropriate,” Wei Ting said.
Wei Liulang was puzzled. “What’s wrong? If they can’t even take care of the internal strife in the southern border after his death, they naturally can’t mobilize his troops against the Great Zhou.”
Wei Ting analyzed, “If he dies, there will be a few of his sons. They will insist that it was done by the Great Zhou envoy and let the soldiers of the southern border avenge the king. At that time, they will have a good reason; this might even boost their morale. This is one of the reasons.
“Secondly, the King of the Southern Wilderness is not so easy to kill. Dad has internal injuries. Every time he circulates his energy, his internal injuries will worsen. Dad would not be in a good state to attack. Although we still have Big Brother, Sixth Brother, don’t forget that the Secret Shadow Guards beside the King of the Southern Wilderness have yet to attack. In addition, the Assassin Alliance has also intervened.
“Finally, we have the real King of the Southern Wilderness here. The best way is to let him return to his rightful position.”
Wei Qing said, “I agree with Little Seven.”
After becoming a death warrior, Ghostfear’s temper had become irritable. He wanted to enter the palace to kill.
However, his father’s bloodline suppressed him, so he could only sit obediently.
“What do you think, Young Master Ling?” Wei Xu asked Ling Yun politely.
“I…” Ling Yun didn’t expect Wei Xu to ask him.
Ghostfear snorted.
He was the eldest son.
Yet, it was as if Ling Yun was his father’s biological son!
Ling Yun thought for a moment and said, “I actually don’t know much about military formations, but the Assassin Alliance didn’t just send one person. There are two powerful experts on the way. They will arrive in the capital soon… to deal with General Wei Xu, so I think it’s best if everyone doesn’t exhaust their combat strength and save it to deal with them.”
Wei Liulang asked, “Why does the Assassin Alliance have to deal with my father?”
Ling Yun shook his head. “I’m not sure either. Perhaps their business was ruined by the disciples of the sect. In order to salvage their reputation, they have to make compensation.”
The business that the Assassin Alliance accepted back then was to capture Wei Xu, but a few years later, the Jade-faced Rakshasa saved Wei Xu.
If everyone was like this, no one would dare to do business with the Assassin Alliance in the future.
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “How will the Assassin Alliance deal with Jade-faced Rakshasa
Ling Yun said, “He violated the alliance rules. He should be captured and
punished.”
Su Xiaoxiao continued, “Is the punishment serious?”
Ling Yun paused. “His martial arts will be crippled and he will be sentenced to death by fire.”
“Burning at the stake… is so serious.”
Su Xiaoxiao suddenly realized what kind of state of mind the Head of the Secret Service was in to kill Wei Xu.
Whether it was saving Wei Xu or killing him, he had actually violated the alliance rules.
He had been on a dead end from the beginning. He was the only one on this dead end.
No one knew what he had done, nor did anyone understand his sacrifice. He had been so lonely, carrying his death for the people he was protecting..
