Qiao Zhongguo walked in with Qiao Jiaojiao in his arms. His right forearm was cut open by a knife, and half of his sleeve was stained red with blood.
At this time, a strip of cloth was casually wrapped around the sleeve. It must have been that after the rescue, a piece of the hem was torn off and bandaged hastily.
At this time, he had a calm face, showing no signs of anger, while Jiaojiao in his arms had red eyes and looked like she was frightened.
Behind Qiao Zhongguo, Qiao Tianjing was holding Qiao Bo who was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, his face also looking very ugly.
Upon seeing this, the lord of the country stepped forward in person. Before he could speak, Qiao Zhongguo had already said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, an envoy from another country was almost killed in an attack in the palace. Such ridiculous things are unheard of for foreign ministers!"
"That man kept saying that he was following the orders of the king and the eldest prince to kill us all!"
"The foreign minister has come all the way to celebrate Christmas for the Lord of the Kingdom. Now that this incident has happened, if the Lord of the Kingdom cannot give the foreign minister an explanation, then the foreign minister should return to the country tomorrow and report the matter to the Holy Spirit truthfully!"
The Nanli royal family has lost its temper today. He, Qiao Zhongguo, represents the face of the Yong Dynasty and has taken another advantage. Even in front of the head of the Nanli Kingdom, he can straighten his back and speak loudly!
Seeing that Qiao Zhongguo was so strong, the king's face froze slightly, but soon his expression became warm again.
"Mr. Qiao's words are reasonable. What happened today is indeed Nanli's fault, Sun Bing! Why don't you tell the envoy Qiao what you just discovered in detail!"
Sun Bing accepted the lord's anger and did not dare to be careless. He repeated what he had just said and specifically pointed out that the captain Jiang Min was suspected to be from the North.
At this time, everyone remembered that the envoy of the Northern Kingdom, Grand Master Che, was present.
The king looked behind Qiao Zhongguo and saw Grand Master Che being supported by an imperial guard. His expression was ugly, as if he was frightened, and his legs and feet were so weak that he could not stand firmly.
When he heard that Jiang Min might be from the North, Master Che's eyes immediately widened with disbelief on his face. The main topic had nothing to do with me and I knew nothing about it.
The king cursed in his heart, "This old fox!"
Sun Bing just said that it was "suspected". As the leader of a country, it was absolutely impossible for him to question the envoy of the Northern Kingdom because of a suspicion.
He could only look at Qiao Zhongguo and said warmly: "Mr. Qiao, this matter is still a family scandal. The eldest son failed to live up to expectations and was taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives. This almost led to a big mistake."
"After tonight, I will give an explanation to Mr. Qiao, your country, and the frightened Master Che no matter what."
The eldest prince was already exhausted. When he heard that the king said this in front of foreign envoys, all his strength was drained from his body.
This matter has been put on the bright side of the Three Kingdoms, and there is no possibility for him to turn around...
Yin Zhu, Shen Yuanbai, they... they plotted against him miserably!
Seeing this, Qiao Tianjing patted Qiao Bo on the back with relief, knowing that the Qiao family's mission today was completely completed.
To force the king of the country to promise to pursue the case would be to completely "press to death" the eldest prince!
The palace road was attacked just now, and the situation was indeed dangerous. Thanks to the people arranged by Baili Chengyou, they left quickly and the reinforcements arrived quickly.
The reason why dad was injured was because Shen Yuanbai's people were really crazy and attacked the little sister with all their strength.
As for Qiao Bo... Qiao Bo is really smart and courageous. Seeing that he and his father were not in a hurry, he knew that the attack was expected. In order to make the situation more realistic, he immediately avoided it. The vital point was hit by an arrow.
Qiao Bo felt Qiao Tianjing pat him on the back, and his eyes lit up slightly.
He, Old Qiao, is thick-skinned and thick-skinned, so what does it matter if he gets hurt? As long as he can help the general and young master achieve their goals, Old Qiao's sword is still strong and powerful!
Qiao Bo: (ง •̀灬•́)ง
When Qiao Jiaojiao saw that her father and Uncle Qiao were injured, she almost felt heartbroken. Those tears were real.
[Qiao Bo still has half an arrow stuck in his shoulder. It is only right to send Qiao Bo back to another courtyard as soon as possible. 】
[Mr. Zou is probably already under the covers, and we still have to dig him out! 】
Under the quilt in another hospital, Dr. Zou, who was sleeping soundly, trembled inexplicably.
Dr. Zou: (ー灬ーก)
What? Why do you feel like you are coming back to life again?
Qiao Zhongguo nodded repeatedly when he heard this. They had accomplished everything they promised Baili Chengyou today, and it was time to retire.
"Your Majesty, I'm waiting for you -"
Qiao Zhongguo just opened his mouth, and suddenly there were rapid footsteps in the distance, approaching from far away.
Everyone turned around and saw Eunuch Guan walking quickly along the palace road in a rude manner, his face looking particularly pale under the moonlight.
When the king saw this scene from a distance, his expression became extremely ugly.
Qiao Zhongguo immediately stopped talking. It seemed that there was still something going on.
Out of breath, Eunuch Guan rushed to the royal study, knelt down to the king, and shouted:
"Master, when the slave arrived at the treasure house, the door of the treasure house was open, and there were corpses all around. The slave... the slave hurried in and took a look. Nothing... nothing was missing, except the box. ——”
"My lord, that box is missing!"
Eunuch Guan's voice trembled. He knew the power of the poisonous insect. Even the Lord almost fell into it back then.
But this...the existence of this residual Gu is only known to the Lord and him, and he has never told a third person about it!
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the palace changed their expressions, and Qiao Jiaojiao was extremely anxious.
【What box? What's in the box? Missing? Could it be that Shen Yuanbai succeeded? It shouldn’t be! Since Baili Chengyou has taken control of the overall situation, he should take care of everything! 】
Qiao Zhongguo hesitated for a moment, pretending to be "not curious", and just asked with concern:
"Your Majesty, your country's treasures have been stolen? Could this thief be the same as the one who attacked us?"
The king's eyebrows were extremely gloomy. He turned his head and glanced at the eldest prince on the ground. He was really gritting his teeth!
"It's the residual Gu that seduces the soul and leads to the soul left over from that time."
As soon as the king's words came out, the expressions of the Qiao family changed drastically. Even Grand Master Che behind them suddenly raised his head. It was obvious that he was truly unaware this time.
Qiao Tianjing frowned and immediately went to see Baili Chengyou.
Baili Chengyou seemed to have been waiting for Qiao Tianjing for a long time. When he saw his eyes looking over, he nodded calmly.
When Qiao Tianjing saw this, his mind suddenly relaxed.
He already had the advantage this time. If Shen Yuanbai succeeded, it would be a huge mistake.
Qiao Jiaojiao saw the interaction between her eldest brother and Baili Chengyou and was really relieved.
[Mom, you scared me! 】
After calming down, Jiaojiao also reacted.
[So, this is also Baili Chengyou’s plan? The existence of this Gu must be a secret. Shen Yuanbai knew it. Could it be that Baili Chengyou also deliberately leaked it to him? 】
Thinking of this, Jiaojiao slowly turned her head, glanced at Master Che calmly, who had not yet lost her look of shock, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
[What an ingenious plan to divorce! This is really interesting! 】
