After Liang Xiao left the Prime Minister's Mansion, he looked at the blue sky with a myriad of thoughts.
This time he had a long conversation with Zhuge Hui, and he finally understood almost all the ins and outs.
Prime Minister Zhuge is not the only person who has met both the old man and Shizu.
There are also many old foxes from those big families...
"It turns out that Emperor Gaozu went through many hardships back then, and it was more difficult for our ancestors to keep a business than to start a business. Prime Minister Zhuge was left alone for two generations, and the pressure doubled." Liang Xiao sighed in his heart, feeling quite ashamed.
After I learned about this world, my first thought was to keep a low profile and bide my time. Maybe one day I would be forced to take advantage of the situation and compete in the Central Plains.
It turns out that this world belongs to both the Duan family and the Liang family.
When Emperor Gaozu was in poverty, he accidentally met Liang Xiao's grandfather and the old man, and they fell in love with each other as brothers.
The three of them fought all the way and were frustrated. Later, Gaozu invited Zhugehui to come out and finally laid the foundation of what would become the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Now, he has a clearer plan.
After understanding his thoughts, Liang Xiao got on the carriage and headed back home.
Busy city, inn.
The four of them, Tuoba Jun, Gong Yangjing, Dugu Chen, and Duanmu Yuncheng, were sitting on the second floor of the inn, staring coldly at the old man and the young man at the entrance of the vegetable market.
It was Jiang Fuxue and Grandma.
Duanmu Yunqing and Nangong Ning sat at another table, looking at each other with hatred, but they did not dare to disturb the conversation between the four of them.
Gongyang Jing sneered and said, "What a coincidence. The personal guards came to report urgently just now. The girl next to Liang Xiao went out today and seemed to want to accompany that old ghost to buy groceries."
Tuoba Jun asked: "What about the person you arranged?"
After Gong Yang clapped his hands respectfully, a man and a woman came out and knelt in front of him.
"See Master!"
Everyone took a closer look and saw that they were a pair of young handsome men and beautiful women with gentle demeanors, especially the woman, who seemed quite friendly.
"A soldier never tires of deceit, so you should use all possible means to deal with people like Liang Xiao. This is one of the preparations. Later, some gangsters will come forward to tease the girl. You two will see the right moment to speak up. It's best to be more fierce and act. You have to be natural, it doesn't matter if you fight, but don't expose your flaws!" Gongyang Jing said coldly.
The two said in unison: "We will definitely fulfill our mission!"
After the two left, Duanmu Yuncheng praised: "It turns out that Brother Gongyang is planning to let these two people slowly find opportunities to get close to the girl and gain her trust."
Gongyang Jing said coldly: "This Liang Xiao is at the foot of the emperor and is protected by Hun Jun, Zhuge Hui and others. He cannot take it quickly, so he naturally needs a long-term plan. These brothers and sisters are my family's carefully trained warriors, and the elder brother is still Even if a knight fails in the end, he will not be able to harm the Gongyang clan. Let’s see how the effect is."
Everyone watched the young brother and sister go away with great anticipation.
In the vegetable market, grandma frowned and whispered: "Miss, the onions are out of season and there is no need to sell them. Can you go back quickly?"
Jiang Fuxue held Grandma's sleeve and said coquettishly: "No, keep looking, this is her secret weapon~ My nose is very good, I can smell onions from a distance~"
Grandma's heart softened and she had no choice but to agree and look around.
The Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty specially arranged ten female Xuan Guards to protect her and Jiang Fuxue.
But this was a vegetable market, and Jiang Fuxue was worried about attracting attention, so she kept these female guards ten feet away from her.
Jiang Fuxue asked her to search for onions in a low-key manner and not to make any noise. However, her sense of smell was no longer sensitive, so Jiang Fuxue went out in person without saying a word.
Considering that this is the capital city and the security is extremely good, Grandma dared to take her out.
To the west, the brother and sister appointed by the Gongyang family were also shopping for groceries, and their eyes glanced at Jiang Fuxue intentionally or unintentionally.
To the east, Xichuan Sword Sect Jian Canglang was drinking alone at an open-air stall, his eyes never leaving Jiang Fuxue and Grandma, feeling extremely depressed.
"Xuemei actually has her heart set on Liang Xiao. Then Liang Xiao is just..."
At the same time, Liang Xiao's carriage left the Prime Minister's Mansion, went home all the way, and arrived outside the vegetable market.
An old man and a young man wandered around various vegetable stalls like thieves, looking for rare onions.
At this moment, two scoundrels with sly eyebrows blocked the way of the young and old, smiling and showing yellow teeth.
"Oh, whose little girl is this? She's pretty and juicy?"
The provocative words made Jiang Fuxue frown, roll her eyes at the other party, and pulled her grandma to leave, but another gangster stepped behind and blocked the way again.
"Are they the three thugs and the four thugs?" The eyes of everyone around them also noticed this, and found that it was these two thugs who wisely remained silent and chose to do less rather than do more.
Lai Tousan rubbed his hands and said with a lewd smile, "Little girl, have your family ordered a baby kiss for you? Brother, I have one here."
Hearing this, Jiang Fuxue thought of Nangong Ning again and became furious: "I hate it when other people kiss my baby, so shut up!"
The mysterious guards in the distance had already noticed this, their eyes were cold, and they hurried over.
The four thugs ducked to the side of their companions again. Jiejie smiled strangely and walked towards Jiang Fuxue.
"I'm warning you, don't come over!" Grandma said nervously.
"Damn old woman!"
Popisi glared at Grandma, then smiled at Jiang Fuxue and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. If you have any grievances, tell your uncle. Come into his arms, um..."
As he spoke, Pipisi's right hand reached towards Jiang Fuxue's little face, as if he wanted to pick flowers.
Jiang Fuxue was startled and started to cry.
Duanmu Yunqing and Nangong Ning saw this, and the corners of their mouths curled up.
As long as it causes trouble for Liang Xiao, they will be happy to see it come to fruition.
"presumptuous!"
The female Xuan guards shouted angrily in unison and rushed over.
The expressions of the brothers and sisters in the distance changed, and just as they were about to speak, there was another burst of old angry shouts.
"What a penny!"
Then there was a crisp sound of "pop"!
It turned out that it was grandma who slapped the rogue four.
Everyone stared blankly at Puppy Si, who was flying several times in mid-air, and the three bloody teeth that flew out of his mouth.
"Snapped!"
With lightning speed, Grandma slapped the bewildered Lai Tousan next to her with another palm, flying away and knocking out four bloody teeth.
The whole place was in an uproar!
Everyone in the aristocratic family who was on the second floor was petrified on the spot. The wine glasses fell from their hands and fell on the table with a clang.
Everyone stared in horror at the ferocious-looking grandma, watching her take an iron rod from the vegetable stall next to her.
Grandma, who had been touched the bottom line, was already furious. She picked up the wooden stick and struck again with the stick. She quickly rushed to the two scoundrels who were lying on the ground covering their faces and screaming.
When everyone looked again, they found that half of their faces had been slapped by Grandma and had become disfigured.
"Quack quack——"
Everyone faintly heard the sound of several bones breaking, and their pupils shrank sharply.
"Laozi counts to three, get up!"
"three!"
While the grandma was scolding, she was beaten with a stick again. The two scoundrels were already stunned and begging for mercy.
"It's okay, baby, it's okay."
Grandma then held Jiang Fuxue in her arms, whispered comfort, and glared fiercely at the two rogues who had huddled together on the ground.
The female Xuanwei who rushed over was also confused, staring at Grandma with disbelief in her eyes.
The brother and sister froze in place, suddenly trembling.
Jian Canglang, who was coming, slapped his forehead and sighed helplessly.
Behind the crowd, Liang Xiao, who also rushed over, also saw this scene and fell into silence.
