At the same time, in Kunning Palace.
"Xiao Chen is really surprising."
The queen was lying on the soft couch, with an unpredictable expression flashing on her majestic and graceful face.
The female officer next to her said softly: "The growth of Governor Xiao is indeed very fast. In just over a month, he has already recruited a group of experts and severely defeated Zhou Tianfu's old dog's siege... Regardless of the previous time, Governor Xiao even acted aggressively in Jiangdong Road and other places, not only ransacked the homes of several prominent families, but also arrested Jiang Rongfeng, the Taipei of Jiangdong Road!"
The queen also gently raised her hand, rubbed her temples, and said: "It can be seen that Xiao Chen is not only an outstanding mind, but also has extraordinary courage... No wonder your majesty promoted him to the governor of Dongchang. host."
"His title as governor is indeed worthy of his name!"
The female officer smiled again and said, "I can only say that Your Majesty has a good vision."
A smile flashed in the Queen's eyes again: "But as far as I know, His Majesty's view of him is quite complicated... On the one hand, he wants to use him as a sword, and on the other hand, he wants to prevent him from devouring his master."
When the female officer heard this, a trace of surprise flashed across her face, and she asked thoughtfully: "Empress, are you..."
"Actually, you have guessed it."
The queen's tone was casual, but with a kind of majesty: "I want to win him to my side... This time, he has copied the heart of His Majesty. As long as he doesn't go too far, he will obediently steal most of the people." The money is given to me... Your Majesty will not say that he will be promoted or given a title, but he will definitely put him to good use."
"A governor of the East Factory who has real power and is deeply trusted by His Majesty, even if it is me, must carefully consider it."
The female officer flattered her again: "What the empress said is absolutely true!"
"If we succeed, Governor Xiao will be brought under his command, and your right to speak will become greater."
The queen's eyes were slightly cold, but the corners of her mouth curved into a charming arc.
In Concubine Jing's palace.
"Xiao Chen was assassinated?"
There was a hint of surprise in Concubine Jing's tone, and she quickly asked: "What's going on?"
The messenger was her contact person with Bai Zhi, a young female martial artist in her twenties who often traveled between the palace and the people.
There was a hint of concentration in the female martial artist's tone: "My subordinates also heard about this matter by chance. There are two versions in the court and in the harem. The court only said that Xiao Chen was assassinated and did not explain the situation in detail. The news from the palace is more detailed... It is said that he was attacked by hundreds of martial arts masters, including three seventh-grade masters, twenty-four fifth-grade masters and above, and hundreds of martial arts masters!"
Concubine Jing's eyes were a little worried: "Did something happen to Xiao Chen?"
"Mom, please be patient and don't be impatient."
The female martial artist smiled and said: "It is said that Governor Xiao has recruited many masters and his own strength has improved. He is safe and sound, and he also wiped out all the killers!"
"As long as he's fine."
Concubine Jing's tone became more soothing: "I believe he will return to the capital soon."
When she said this, Concubine Jing stretched out her slender finger and tapped her chin, with a hint of teasing in her tone: "If he returns to the capital, I will have to discuss it with him."
“How to get ahead in the upcoming autumn!”
The female martial artist nodded: "Director Xiao uses Glauber's salt to make ice, which has made the queen a lot of money. Judging from Governor Xiao's intelligence, even in autumn, there will definitely be many clever ways to make money!"
"Mom, you definitely don't have to worry."
Concubine Jing raised the corners of her lips and said in a heavy tone with a hint of softness, "Now we just wait for him to return to the capital."
"By the way, you have to help me pay attention to Xiao Chen's news at all times. If there is any change, report it to me immediately!"
The female martial artist nodded quickly: "Yes."
In the palace where Zhao Jieyu is.
She also learned the news, but the person who informed her was her personal maid.
This was the confidant she brought from the Zhao Mansion, and she was also the only maid in her palace who knew that she had a good relationship with Xiao Chen.
After Zhao Jieyu heard the news, she confirmed again: "Did Xiao Chen really escape from more than a hundred powerful killers? And he also wiped them all out!"
"That's right!"
The little maid with a round face nodded: "The news coming from outside is like this, everyone said so... They also said that Governor Xiao got a lot of treasures in Dali Temple, and now he has become very powerful. , and a well-known master in the world, "Ten Thousand Kinds of Swords" Qin Changfeng, has also joined him to protect him secretly!"
Zhao Jieyu was born as a general, so she naturally knew what the so-called Dali Temple was like.
The Buddhist Holy Land also has countless masters gathered in it.
There are really many magical skills.
She was also very aware of the commotion Xiao Chen made in Dali Temple earlier.
She couldn't help but raise her lips: "Those bald thieves in Dali Temple are not good people. Xiao Chen, please don't kill them. I feel a little regretful... However, it is a good thing that their treasure was given to Xiao Chen." !”
"But who sent those more than a hundred killers is a bit worrying..."
Although Zhao Jieyu knew who sent those people.
It's just that it's not convenient for her to say.
After all, Zhao Jieyu is a member of the harem, and it is not convenient for her to interfere in court affairs.
The round-faced maid smiled again and said: "It is said that Governor Xiao also did other things! He went to Jiangdong Road and killed everyone. Not only did he capture Jiang Rongfeng, but he also ransacked all the major families in Jiangdong Road. All over, it is said that the gold and silver treasures that were copied were packed into hundreds of large boxes."
When she said this, the round-faced maid stretched out her hand and made exaggerated gestures in the air.
Zhao Jieyu couldn't help but smile and said: "This is quite normal... The major aristocratic families in Jiangdong Road have been in power for a long time, and with hundreds of years of accumulation, their wealth must be extraordinary... Otherwise Xiao Xiao Why would Chen dispatch 500 Xuanjia guards and request to escort the convoy?"
"But this time he has stung a hornet's nest! The major families in Jiangdong Province have also trained many officials in the court. If he returns to the capital, he may be in trouble again..."
Speaking of this, there was even more worry in her eyes.
Xiao Chen tried his best to help him before, and even saved her from the fate of being killed. It can be said that he was kind to her again...
However, he has been living deep in the palace and has no way to help Xiao Chen.
She was a little decadent and annoyed.
Although the round-faced maid didn't know why Zhao Jieyu was worried, she still comforted her with a word of comfort: "Master Xiao has his own destiny, and there will definitely be no problem!"
"My dear, don't worry!"
"Of course, I believe he will be fine."
Zhao Jieyu's brows relaxed a little, but there was always a gloomy look in her eyes.
