Chapter 1356: Teacher’s boldness

Editor: Atlas Studios

When Su Xiaoxiao came over, she saw the man and horse im a fearful confrontation.

She nodded strangely and patted the Sihu’s head comfortingly.

Sihu quickly rubbed its head against Su Xiaoxiao’s palm aggrievedly.

Su Xiaoxiao said softly, “Did he scare you?”

Sihu nodded.

Sihu was brave, but Sihu was only a baby under the age of three!

Su Xiaoxiao patiently comforted it. “Alright, alright. I know you picked him up, but he still scared you. How naughty.”

The moment Xiahou Qing saw Su Xiaoxiao, panic surged in his heart.

However, when he heard Su Xiaoxiao’s words, he felt that something was wrong.

He subconsciously wanted to cover his face, but he realized that his entire head was covered in gauze, only revealing his eyes, nose, and mouth.

His injuries had also been treated and his clothes had been changed.

He began to size up his surroundings.

He finally knew what was wrong.

This was not a house at all, but a… horse shed!

He had spent the night in the horse shed. No wonder he met a horse the moment he opened his eyes.

After comforting Sihu, Su Xiaoxiao came to Xiahou Qing and squatted down to look at his injuries. “This is the Hundred Flowers Palace. Last night, it was Sihu who saved you. My Sihu is very good. It’s been guarding you.”

Sihu came over and made its presence known.

Xiahou Qing was stunned and did not know how to react.

Su Xiaoxiao continued, “How do you feel? Are you feeling unwell?”

Xiahou Qing opened his mouth. This time, he could only make some sounds.

Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin. “Oh, they do look alike.”

Seeing Xiahou Qing looking at her in confusion, Su Xiaoxiao explained, “You were poisoned by a slow-acting poison. As for what poison it is, I’m not sure for the time being. I gave you an antidote pill. Your life is no longer in danger, but these aftereffects can’t disappear for the time being. I have a brother who used to be in a similar situation to you, but it’s not completely the same. I don’t know if it’s because the prescription has been improved or if the extent of the poison is different. Stay in the Hundred Flowers Palace for the time being. The guards outside are all arresting you.”

Xiahou Qing muttered, “Ah… Ah…”

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Do you want to know the situation in the City Lord Manor?”

Xiahou Qing nodded.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Xiahou Yi announced the death of the City Lord and framed you. He said that you killed the City Lord. The streets and alleys of Fengdu City are filled with your portrait. Your head is worth 10,000 taels of gold.”

Upon hearing this, Xiahou Qing confirmed that the people from the Hundred Flowers Palace did not recognize him.

While he heaved a sigh of relief, he felt a little strange.

Xiahou Yi had clearly prepared a substitute. Why did he let the substitute “die”?

He subconsciously looked at Su Xiaoxiao, but was surprised to find that the little girl was staring at him.

It was as if she was not looking at a person, but at ten thousand taels of gold.

His body trembled!

He kept feeling that this girl wanted to hand him over in exchange for gold!

Su Xiaoxiao swallowed and asked seriously, “Before the City Lord died, other than telling my brother to be careful of Xiahou Yi, was there anything else?”

Xiahou Qing muttered, “Ah… Ah…”

Su Xiaoxiao tilted her head and looked at him. “You want to think about it again?”

Xiahou Qing nodded and pointed at his head.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at his gesture. “It was damaged… You don’t remember?”

Xiahou Qing nodded again.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Oh, think about it slowly.”

Xiahou Qing’s eyes suddenly became anxious. “Ah… Ah…”

“Yes…” Su Xiaoxiao tried her best to interpret it. “You want to ask… if it will cause trouble for the Hundred Flowers Palace?”

“Ah.”

Xiahou Qing nodded again.

This girl was too amazing. She had already guessed it before he finished gesturing.

Su Xiaoxiao clapped her hands and stood up. “The Hundred Flowers Palace has always been full of troubles. You’re not the only one!”

Hearing this, Xiahou Qing felt deeply guilty.

He had always known that the Hundred Flowers Palace did not get along with the various sects on the island, but Yun Shuang had never given him a good attitude, so he did not stick his warm face to the cold butt of the Hundred Flowers Palace.

In any case, the Hundred Flowers Palace could resolve it themselves.

However, when he fell into a desperate situation and reflected on the past, he realized that it hadn’t been easy for the Hundred Flower Palace.

“Ah… ah… ah…”

He grabbed Su Xiaoxiao’s sleeve.

Although it was called grabbing, it was actually just a touch because his hands could not exert any strength.

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Is there anything else?”

Xiahou Qing: “Ah… Ah…”

“You are…” Su Xiaoxiao tilted her head and interpreted for a long time.” You want to ask how my brother is? ”

“Ah.”

Xiahou Qing wanted to admit it, but he did not dare to admit it too much, afraid that he would expose himself.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “He’s dealing with the guards of the City Lord Manor outside.”

Xiahou Qing’s expression changed.

He was not worried about himself, but about his son.

Su Xiaoxiao waved her hand. “Relax, relax. he’s used to it. It’s a small matter.”

Xiahou Qing felt even more guilty.

He continued.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled coolly. “You’re quite a good person. You can’t even protect yourself, yet you’re worried about the Hundred Flowers Palace. Don’t worry, it can be resolved!”

The corners of Xiahou Qing’s mouth twitched as he watched her leave.

What I wanted to say was, at least give me a room. I’m sleeping in… the horse shed…

At the entrance of the Hundred Flowers Palace.

Ling Yun blocked the guards of the City Lord Manor.

The guard captain said, “Young Palace Lord, there’s no time to delay in apprehending the murderer. Please don’t stop me from doing my job.”

“I told you that there’s no murderer in the Hundred Flowers Palace,” Ling Yun said calmly.

The guard captain said, “This is Second Granduncle’s order.”

Ling Yun said domineeringly, “The last person who came to search with my father’s orders has already been locked up. Is Second Grandfather’s order better than the City Lord’s?”

The guard captain was immediately frightened.

Firstly, Second Grandfather’s status could not compare to the City Lord’s.

Secondly, his status could not compare to the former Eldest Young Master.

Eldest Young Master had such a hard order, but in the end, he ended up like this. Then he…

“Young Palace Lord, sorry to disturb you.”

The guard captain left with everyone.

Su Xiaoxiao walked over. “Brother, you’re amazing!”

Ling Yun looked at the grass on her shoes and knew that she had been to the horse shed. “Is he awake?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Yes, he’s in a good state of mind. It seems that he’s fine, but his symptoms… are a little troublesome. Look, my Sixth Brother hasn’t completely recovered his voice and appearance after so many years. I finally know how much pain he experienced back then. He couldn’t even hold a pen, but he had to take such a heavy sword… He even lost an arm.”

Ling Yun walked back calmly.

Su Xiaoxiao followed and raised her eyebrows at him. “Aren’t you going to see him?”

Ling Yun said calmly, “No.”

Su Xiaoxiao sighed exaggeratedly. “Sigh, I wonder who went to walk Sihu in the rain in the middle of the night. Fortunately, my Sihu is strong and wasn’t hurt by the rain. Otherwise…”

“The villagers that Sihu ‘picked up’ spent a lot of money from the Hundred Flowers Palace. Do you want to calculate it together?”

Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes flashed. “Ahem, we’re all on the same side!”

Sihu was kind-hearted and lively horses. The entire mountain of the Hundred Flower Palace was their territory.

It ran all over the mountain. Every time it encountered a villager lying on the ground, it would carry him back on its horse and send it to Su Xiaoxiao to treat.

In the past few months, Sihu had “saved” more than 30 people one after another.

The problem was that those villagers and woodcutter were only exhausted and took a nap. When they woke up, they lay in the horse shed of the Hundred Flower Palace. Wasn’t it terrifying?

For this, the Hundred Flowers Palace paid a lot of money.

“Ahem!”

Su Xiaoxiao cleared her throat and said casually, “Brother, those on the streets… have a bounty of 10,000 taels of gold.”

“Why? Do you want to hand him over?”

Su Xiaoxiao looked hurt. “Am I such a person? I’m very loyal! It’s just that…”

Her eyes flashed, and her voice weakened as she said in a muffled voice, “Sometimes, my hand… has its own thoughts. If it accidentally takes off the bounty one day on the streets…”

Ling Yun took out a stack of gold notes for her expressionlessly.

One thousand taels.

There were a total of 20!

After Su Xiaoxiao counted the gold notes, she bowed and said, “Thank you, Big Brother! Big Brother is mighty! Take care, Big Brother!”
