Chapter 603: Two-faced Couple

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

South of the palace was a posthouse specially used to receive envoys.

This was not an ordinary posthouse. Its luxury was definitely not inferior to a small palace.

The best courtyard was given to the Western Jin amba.s.sador. This was natural. After all, he was powerful.

The courtyard of the Northern Yan envoys was not bad either. It sat north facing south and had beautiful scenery.

After the Princess of Northern Yan returned to the posthouse, she first asked the servant where General Helian was.

The great general is practicing his swordplay on the sh.o.r.e, the servant said.

Lead the way, the Princess of Norther Yan said.

Under the guidance of the servants, the Princess of Northern Yan came to a

lotus pond. White lotus flowers stood elegantly, and willow leaves hung on the sh.o.r.e. A night breeze blew over, and her nose was filled with a refres.h.i.+ng fragrance.

It was rare to see such a scenery in Northern Yan.

The Princess of Northern Yan looked at the man waving his sword like rain on the gra.s.s and pulled out a guards sword. She smiled and went forward.

Helian Ye was naturally not fl.u.s.tered by her sneak attack. Not only that, but he also restrained his cultivation and blocked with his long sword.

Princess Northern Yan smiled and said, Uncle, are you looking down on

Ninger and not even willing to use 30% of your strength?

Helian Ye increased his strength by 10% and exchanged a few moves with the Princess of Northern Yan.

He stopped and put away his sword. Alright, thats all for today. The Princess of Northern Yan was not satisfied and threw the sword back to the guard at the side.

The two of them went to sit on the stone stool in the pavilion. A servant served tea.

The Princess of Northern Yan took a sip and could not help but praise, The Great Yan is huge and has abundant resources. Even these tea leaves are much more mellow and fragrant than our Northern Yan.

Helian Ye was not interested in tasting tea. He drank three cups and asked,

Why are you back so late?

The Princess of Northern Yan said honestly, I met Wei Ting.

Helian Ye frowned. You havent given up on that kid?

Princess Norther Yan looked at the tea in the cup and smiled. Hes very good. I want him.

Hes Uncles enemy, Helian Ye reminded.

The Princess of Northern Yan looked at Helian Ye and smiled. If he gives up his status in the Wei family and volunteers to be my son-in-law, cant Uncle let him off?

Helian Ye hesitated.

Princess Norther Yan put down her teacup and held his arm coquettishly. Uncle. Helian Ye said seriously, I said that I would kill everyone in the Wei family.

Uncle!

Helian Ye said helplessly, Alright, alright, alright. If hes really willing to give up his ident.i.ty as the Wei familys son, I can consider letting him live. However, are you sure he will agree? As you can see, were a step too late. Hes already married another woman. Moreover, the new Madam he married is Qin Canglans granddaughter. Shes not someone you can bully casually.

The Princess of Northern Yan smiled and said, Why would I bully her? This is between Wei Ting and me. As long as the two of us are willing, wont she be redundant?

Helian Ye said, Wei Ting doesnt seem to like you.

Hell like me sooner or later. The Princess of Northern Yan picked up a fruit on the table and said firmly, Im sure.

After Su Xiaoxiao quickly put Prime Minister Guo in a sack at the entrance of the palace, she immediately threw him into the carriage.

Wei Ting ended his conversation with the guard.

The guard was at a loss. What was wrong with Lord Wei today? He was actually concerned about a small fry like him?

Wei Ting sat down in the carriage. Fu Su, who had long disguised himself as a coachman, grabbed the whip and quickly drove the carriage away.

Prime Minister Guo kept struggling in the sack. Who are you? How dare you kidnap an official of the Imperial Court in broad daylight! Do you want to die!

Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting exchanged glances and chose the latter between hiding their ident.i.ties.

Wei Ting decisively took away the sack. Prime Minister Guos eyes lit up and he subconsciously closed his eyes.

Then, he looked around warily and saw Wei Ting and Su Xiaoxiao sitting on the car bench.

His expression darkened. Preposterous! Why did you kidnap me!

Su Xiaoxiao played with the dagger in her hand and smiled. What can I do? Of course Im killing you.

You! Prime Minister Guo glanced at the dagger in her hand. He recognized it. It was the weapon of Lord Wu An Lord back then. It was extremely sharp and could cut iron like mud.

Civil officials were not very sensitive to weapons to begin with, and the reason why he remembered it so clearly was that this dagger was bestowed by the late Emperor. He personally sent it to the Martial Peace Manor and handed it to the Martial Peace Lord, Wei Wei.

The dagger seemed to have the aura of Lord Wu An, making ones heart palpitate.

Prime Minister Guo calmed down and got up to sit on another carriage stool. He looked at the two of them in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing. What exactly do you want?

Su Xiaoxiao said, Let me ask you a few questions.

Prime Minister Guo looked at the taciturn Wei Ting. His gaze seemed to be asking if he didnt care about his woman. Shouldnt this be a mans conversation? What was the point of a woman getting involved?

Wei Ting drank his tea and ignored Prime Minister Guo.

Su Xiaoxiao said solemnly, If you dont answer honestly, Ill kill you. Anyway, no one saw us kidnap you. With my methods, Ill do it very cleanly and definitely wont leave any traces.

Prime Minister Guos aura was fully released. How dare you!

Su Xiaoxiao was even fiercer than him. Lets see if I dare!

Prime Minister Guo looked at Wei Ting again.

Wei Ting said, She really dares.

Prime Minister Guo was speechless.

Prime Minister Guo said coldly, What do you want to ask? If its about the White Lotus Society, Im afraid Ill disappoint you. I have nothing to do with the White Lotus Society.

Su Xiaoxiao said, Weve already investigated everything about the White Lotus Society. Theres no need for Prime Minister Guo to waste your breath. What we want to ask is the master behind Prime Minister Guo.

Prime Minister Guos expression did not change, but his fingers buried under his wide sleeves suddenly tightened.

This extremely small detail did not escape Su Xiaoxiaos eyes.

Su Xiaoxiao pulled out her dagger and threatened, Who are you working for?

Prime Minister Guo said righteously, Im loyal to the current emperor, so I naturally work for him.

Su Xiaoxiao snorted. Nonsense. If you work for the Emperor Jing Xuan, why would you collude with Northern Yan in private?

Prime Minister Guo frowned.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly. Am I right? Yes, it was your good granddaughter, Guo Lingxi, who revealed it to me.

Prime Minister Guo gritted his teeth. d.a.m.n that girl!

Su Xiaoxiao wouldnt take the blame for Guo Lingxi and let the grandfather and granddaughter fight among themselves!

Su Xiaoxiao threatened, The ma.s.s grave is three miles ahead. My patience is limited. Before that, tell me and I can consider sparing your life. Otherwise

Prime Minister Guo realized that the two of them were serious. Otherwise, they would not have revealed their faces to him.

He said coldly, How can I be sure that youll leave me alive?

Su Xiaoxiao said without changing her expression, You cant be sure. You can only bet. Dont lie, because I also caught one of your accomplices.. If your testimony doesnt match, youll all die!
