Chapter 258 Leaving
Xu Shu coaxed him to eat again before talking about his future plans: "I have sent a letter to Xiao Ran, asking him to write to the emperor to advance the date of the martial arts examination. If he can get the top scorer, it will be convenient for him to act in the capital in the future."
Mu Jinghua nodded and leaned into Xu Shu's arms.
"Then there's your maternal grandparents... If we can make friends with them in advance, it will be a great help to us." Xu Shu thought for a moment, "Little Mu Jin, do you have any relics left by your father so that they can recognize your identity?"
Mu Jinghua shook his head: "No."
His father only taught him one sentence: "We come from purity and we return to purity."
But thinking of what Xu Shu had done with him, Mu Jinghua's ears turned red again, but his body was still honestly sticking to Xu Shu.
Xu Shu patted his head and said, "Then I'll wait for you to come to Beijing and then I'll find a way to arrange a meeting for you two."
Mu Jinghua understood the meaning of his words with her sharp ears: "Wait for me? You want to go to Beijing early? Aren't you going to wait for me?"
Xu Shu sighed. He didn't want to do that either, but...
"My dear little Mu Jin, I am doing this for the long term."
Mu Jinghua actually knew that they were unfamiliar with the capital and Qiao Jianhong had a large army under his command.
If Xu Shu wanted to protect him, he would have gone to Beijing before him to make plans in advance. Xu Shu was just planning for him. He understood the truth, but he couldn't bear to leave Xu Shu. He clung to Xu Shu and kissed him again and again, and his eyes became red again.
"Be good, don't cry." Xu Shu was helpless to see him like this, "I'm not leaving tonight."
Mu Jinghua hummed, but was not comforted by this sentence: "But you have to leave eventually."
Once we arrive in Beijing, I'm afraid we'll have even less time to meet.
Mu Jinghua's eyes darkened, and his voice became hoarse: "In the future... I will marry someone else."
Xu Shu felt a pang in his heart, but he didn't know how to comfort Mu Jinghua for a moment. He just kissed him gently and said something else: "Even if it's deep in the palace, I can see you every night."
But this is not a good thing. They were engaged in a legitimate relationship. If Qiao Jianhong hadn't happened, they would have gotten married in a few days. Now...
A trace of depression flashed through Xu Shu's heart, and he felt that only by pulling out his gun and ending Qiao Jianhong's life would he feel relieved.
But he also knew that killing Qiao Jianhong would not solve all the problems, but would instead accelerate the current situation which was unfavorable to them.
Really...
Xu Shu thought to himself that it had been a long time since he encountered such a headache.
Mu Jinghua also fell silent, and the atmosphere in the room became stagnant.
Seeing him like this, Xu Shu couldn't help but sigh: "If you don't want to marry the emperor, I'll find a way."
Mu Jinghua's eyes lit up: "Is there a way?"
Xu Shu hummed, "We will never let our little Mu Jin suffer any injustice."
"What's more," Xu Shu pinched his nose and smiled, "I have already promised to marry you. If I am taken away by just anyone, won't I lose face?"
Anyone?
Mu Jinghua could tell that he was comforting himself. After all, the emperor was not just anyone.
He was the highest-ranking official in the Jing Dynasty.
But...Xu Shu always does what he says.
Mu Jinghua's eyes sparkled.
Seeing that the man had been coaxed, Xu Shu also breathed a sigh of relief. After a simple tidying up, he coaxed him to go to bed.
The situation is urgent and there is no time to lose. He probably needs to go to the capital immediately.
But in order to avoid ruining Mu Jinghua's good mood, Xu Shu did not tell him the exact time of his departure, and Mu Jinghua was tactful enough not to ask any further questions.
He could vaguely guess that if Xu Shuzhen intended to snatch him from the emperor, he would have to rush to the capital earlier.
But even though he had already guessed it, when he woke up the next morning and couldn't see Xu Shu, Mu Jinghua couldn't help feeling disappointed and ate much less for breakfast.
Qiao Jianhong couldn't help but frown at his absent-minded look: "You can't be like this."
Mu Jinghua glanced at him and said, "I want Xu Shu."
Qiao Jianhong fell silent.
Mu Jinghua sneered, "What a hypocritical bastard."
Ah Qiao was stunned and couldn't help but whisper to excuse Qiao Jianhong. However, as soon as he said "young master", he was frightened by Mu Jinghua's glare and shrank back.
Mu Jinghua put down the porcelain bowl in his hand and said calmly: "Let's go."
Everyone looked at Qiao Jianhong, who sighed and said, "Let's go."
Mu Jinghua sneered in his heart, secretly cursing Qiao Jianhong for being so hypocritical, not knowing who he was showing off to.
However, Qiao Jianhong's attitude made Mu Jinghua's status in the team extremely high. In addition, he knew that Xu Shu had left, so he no longer had any thoughts of being pretentious, and his behavior could even be considered eccentric.
Qiao Jianhong brought with him his elite troops. Although there were not many of them, each of them was capable of fighting ten enemies at the same time, and their kung fu was top-notch.
Capable people are naturally arrogant in their daily lives. Although they are respectful to Qiao Jianhong on the surface, they still feel dissatisfied every time they see Qiao Jianhong making concessions to Mu Jinghua.
But a young man, even if he has some qualifications and looks, should not be treated so kindly by his master.
But Qiao Jianhong is strict with his subordinates. Even if they are dissatisfied, they will not openly oppose Mu Jinghua. But it is okay to say something sarcastic and sad.
It's just that these people are more straightforward than honest, and they have been fighting on the battlefield for years. They are good at fighting but can't curse at all. Their fighting ability is not as good as that of an eight-year-old kid in the village.
Mu Jinghua sat in the carriage and occasionally heard the voices of the soldiers outside. The deliberately low voices just reached his ears: "This Mu brother, he just has some talent and looks, how can he be so sure that he can win the favor of His Majesty? Now he hasn't even met His Majesty, but his manners can be compared with the nobles in the palace."
"That's right. Our general is also confused. This man speaks rudely every time, but the general doesn't even say a word of blame. Is he planning to praise him to death?"
"If you really want to praise him to death, then..."
"It's almost done." Mu Jinghua lifted the curtain, looked at the people who were talking, and smiled sweetly at them, "If I can ask Qiao Jianhong to kill you, will this killing be complete?"
Facing his sweet smile, several people felt a chill in their hearts.
In fact, they had never spoken to Mu Jinghua, but they had seen him a few times from a distance. They thought he was handsome, and when they saw that their general was very accommodating to him, they became dissatisfied and thought that he was a male fox who boasted of his beauty and did whatever he wanted.
Now that they are in such close contact, they realize how ridiculous their earlier perceptions were.
Look at this smiling face, she is more than just a vixen, she is a snake hiding in the dark.
It was a venomous snake with gorgeous patterns and extremely poisonous body that could kill a person with one strike.
