With Gao's help, Xiao Ting successfully avoided Xu Guang's interrogation. However, Xu Guang and his wife did not agree with their granddaughter being too infatuated with men. They repeatedly told their granddaughter to take good care of themselves and were cold to the third son. Xiao Ting was so upset that he thought he was a handsome young man who was at the end of the day. Why was he so unwilling to be liked by the two elders?

With the elders in charge, Xiao Ting's plan to return to the general's mansion was ruined. After lunch with the two elders, Xu Guang sent someone to escort back to the palace.

After he left, Gao followed Xu Guang back to the house and asked quietly: "What are you planning to do? Wei Duo can be the right commander of the imperial guards, so his skills will definitely not be bad, right?"

Xu Guang is still savoring his relationship with his granddaughter.

The grandson's female son was cheerful and even drank a few sips of wine with him. Xu Guang did not show it on the surface, and he was actually very happy. In the past, he raised his daughter like other people's family, and raised her daughter very delicately. She was easily trapped in a dead end when encountering things. She ignored their parents for a man and went cruelly, as if she had cut a piece of flesh in his heart. Xu Guang did not blame his daughter for this. He just regretted not teaching her daughter to be more open-minded. Now his grandson is cheerful and knows how to adapt, and Xu Guang feels very pleased.

"What are you thinking?" Gao waited for a long time without waiting for a response, and pulled his sleeve in wonder.

Xu Guang came back to his senses and patted her hands and said, "I have my own plans. Just wait and pass the message to Jing Yi for me." He didn't want his wife to know too much bloody and bloody things.

"Then be careful. If you fail, Jing Yi is afraid that there will be danger." Gao said worriedly.

Xu Guang nodded.

That night, Xu Guang rested with Gao as usual. His wife was asleep. Xu Guang got up carefully and went to the pigeon shed in the backyard. After resigning from office, Xu Guang raised many livestock, including chickens, ducks, geese, geese, rabbit, pigs, dogs, donkeys, and cows. Some of them had been raised for two or three years, and some gave up halfway, with only pigeons. He always took good care of him as a treasure.

After catching a pigeon, Xu Guang tied the small bamboo tube prepared during the day to the pigeon's legs and let it fly while the night was falling.

The carrier pigeon flew away with its wings, with night as a cover-up, and no one was alarmed.

The next night, Xu Guang got up quietly again, but this time he did not go to the pigeon shed, but went to the study room of the main courtyard when he was the Duke of Guarding the Kingdom. The study door was open, and Xu Guang pushed the door open, and a black shadow immediately knelt down on one knee and bowed to him excitedly: "General, my subordinates finally see you again!"

When the first generation of the Duke of Guarding followed Emperor Gaozu to fight south and north, he trained 300 elite soldiers. When someone died, he would pick up new soldiers to make up for it. When the world was stable, the 300 elite soldiers were also given to the Duke of Guarding by Emperor Gaozu. These 300 people were willing to sell themselves to the Xu family and follow them from generation to generation. The first batch of 300 elite soldiers were old, and they each selected the best offspring from their families to practice martial arts and formed a new personal guard. In order not to arouse suspicion from the emperor, the Xu family only recognized the 300 personal guards and did not take over the family that grew stronger in the personal guards. However, those families of the personal guards had more or less feelings for the Xu family. The Xu family had long been like a towering tree, deeply rooted in the land of the Great Zhou.

After Xu Guang resigned, he disbanded the three hundred personal guards at the same time, but this was only on the surface. For more than ten years, the three hundred personal guards have been living in seclusion near the capital and swearing to follow Xu Guang to the death.

The person in front of him is Xu Wei, the commander of the personal guards. Anyone who can become the commander of the personal guards will be given the surname Xu.

Xu Wei is also the only person Xu Guang has recorded the contact information, and the other personal guards are under Xu Wei's jurisdiction.

"You can recognize Wei Duo, the right commander of the imperial guards?" Xu Guang did not say nonsense and went straight to the point.

Xu Wei was hiding in the city but knew the situation of the officials in the capital well and nodded, "I recognize it."

Xu Guang nodded, his voice cold: "In three days, bring him to see me, and he wants to live."

Xu Wei agreed loudly, without asking the reason, and was sure that Xu Guang had no other instructions, so he left overnight.

~

Wei Duo was on duty at night. The next day, before the civil and military ministers came to court, he handed over to the left commander. In fact, ordinary guards must remain awake all night. As long as the palace is fine, he basically slept and was still energetic during the day. However, just after one night's errand, he was inevitably lazy when leaving the palace. Once he was lazy, a hidden weapon suddenly shot out from the side of the road. Wei Duo was unprepared and felt a pain in his neck, and the next moment he fell into trouble.

At this time, the sky was still dark. Wei Duo fell to the ground and stared at the masked man in black who was walking over, "Who are you?"

Xu Wei said nothing, easily carried the person to his shoulders and headed towards the Xu family.

What greeted Wei Duo was a dark torture room, a basin of cold water, and Xu Guang, the Duke of the National Guardian sitting upright on a chair. Wei Duo was 35 years old. When Xu Guang retreated, he had already been a guard in the palace. He recognized Xu Guang and looked at the various torture instruments around him. He thought that the fourth princess came to the Xu family the day before yesterday, so he didn't understand anything else?

Wei Duo smiled bitterly: "The fourth princess is so cunning, and the prince is good at making tricks. I'm careless."

As early as when the wife of the Duke of the Kingdom visited the fourth princess for the first time, he should have wiped out the roots. Unfortunately, the woman was kind and threatened him not to hurt the innocent by death. He believed that the fourth princess forgot what happened before she fell into the water, which caused today's disaster.

"Since I know why I caught you, I won't go around the corner with you and tell me why I want to harm Jing Yi." Xu Guang asked coldly.

"Dude, don't worry too much. Today I fell into your hands, so I didn't want to go back alive. You can do it if you want to kill and cut it." Wei Duo closed his eyes, raised his head and chest, looking as if he was not afraid of life and death.

How could Xu Guang let him die so cheaply? Wei Duo may have an envoy behind him. If Wei Duo dies, the people behind him may suspect their granddaughter, so that their granddaughter will only be more dangerous.

"You come and try not to get skin and trauma." Xu Guang winked at Xu Wei.

If you don’t want to have skin and trauma, you can only post a bonus. Xu Wei tied Wei Duo to the bench and pasted the soaked mulberry paper on Wei Duo’s face. Those who have been on the battlefield did this little thing, Xu Wei’s face did not change. He put it on the third picture, and Wei Duo’s neck veins were exposed, and he put it on the fourth picture. Wei Duo’s legs were thrusting, but the man tried his best to endure it, but he just refused to stomp his legs and surrender.

Xu Wei turned around and asked with his eyes.

Xu Guang nodded.

Xu Wei added another one.

Wei Duo's legs shook a few times and gradually stopped moving.

Xu Wei waited for three breaths and pulled the mulberry paper on Wei Duo's face and pinched Wei Duo's chin to force him to breathe.

Wei Duo shivered suddenly and then started coughing violently.

Xu Guang stood up, walked to the bench with his hands behind his back, lowered his head, staring at Wei Duo without any emotion: "General Wei, I am the most despised person who bullies the elderly, weak, women and children in my life, but you will hurt my family first, and I will give you another last chance. If you still prefer to die, I have to send someone to arrest Lingtang and let her wait for you in the nine springs first, so as not to let her go to see the black hair and live a more difficult life."

Wei Duo's eyes were bloody and his eyes were red: "Xu Guang, you are such a man. If you have any means, just try to touch me, don't touch my mother!"

"Then you hurt Jing Yiqian, why didn't you think she was just a fifteen-year-old girl?" Xu Guang leaned over slowly, pressed his iron fist on Wei Duo's left chest, and then suddenly exerted force. As if he was putting on a heavy burden, Wei Duo groaned and endured it, and suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood!

"Say." Xu Guang's iron fist did not move at all. If he continued to use force, he would definitely crush Wei Duo's sternum.

Wei Duo gritted his teeth and endured it and refused to ask for help.

Xu Guang let go of his fists and said to Xu Wei: "Go and bring Mrs. Wei."

Xu Wei took the order and left. Wei Duo raised his neck and chased him. Seeing that Xu Wei was about to step out of the door, he suddenly burst out with a shrill laugh, and the laughter was tragic. Xu Wei turned around and saw the general waving his hand, he stopped at the door and waited for Wei Duo to explain.

Wei Duo smiled enough, and two tears suddenly rolled down the corners of his eyes, looking at Xu Guang with complicated eyes: "Duke, do you still remember Concubine Zhuang? Concubine Zhuang was snatched into the palace by the emperor, and the woman I like was also forced into the palace. She is lucky and is not favored in the harem. I... On New Year's Eve, I had a secret meeting with her. The fourth princess suddenly passed by our hiding place. She didn't want to pursue it. I was afraid that there would be some troubles outside the festival, so I seized the opportunity and took advantage of the Fourth Princess Shangyuan to watch the lantern alone and push her into the water. Duke, one person does things and one person does it. You kill me, don't touch my mother and the others again!"

"Who is she?" Xu Guang asked indifferently.

Wei Duo pursed his lips and said after a long time, "Guru Lin."

Among the women in the harem, only Guiren Lin had a friendship with him before entering the palace. Even if he hides it now, with Xu Guang's ability, he will definitely find it.

Xu Guang stared at him and suddenly smiled, "Jing Yi doesn't know what you have to do with Guiren Lin. Even if you know, neither Jing Yi nor I will be interested in your little things. But you dare to harm my granddaughter, either die or obey me from now on, and you must not disobey at all. How about it, which path do you choose?"

Wei Duo looked at him in disbelief, "You really want to let me go?"

Xu Guang sneered and said angrily: "I hope there will be a few more guards like you in the palace."

It is best to let the foolish monarch lose his son and grandson, and none of the princesses are his biological sons.

Wei Duo thought about it for a moment and understood the reason why Xu Guang did not kill him. The enemy's enemy is a friend.

"What do you want me to do?" Wei Duo asked cautiously.

Xu Guang looked down at him: "I want you to protect Jing Yi for me. If Jing Yi encounters any accidents in the palace, your whole family, including Guiren Lin, will not think of a good end."

Wei Duo thought for a moment and frowned and said, "I will do my best, and I hope the Duke of the State keeps his mouth shut, don't......"

"I don't have that leisure time." Xu Guang directly interrupted his nonsense.

Wei Duo believed him, and after loosening his hands and feet, he solemnly gave Xu Guang a big gift and then quietly left the Xu Mansion.

~

Gao entered the palace again.

"Has Wei Duo surrendered to his grandfather?" After hearing Gao's words, Xiao Ting looked at the door of the inner room and asked in surprise.

Gao nodded with a smile.

"Then why did he hurt me at that time?" Xiao Ting frowned. Wei Duo almost killed his prospective wife. How could Xu Guang easily write it off? Did Xu Guang have a crush on Wei Duo's ability and would rather use this matter to change his subordinate than to help his granddaughter?

Gao was also puzzled and whispered: "Your grandfather didn't tell me, but Jing Yi was relieved. Wei Duo had no grudge against you. He just suspected that you broke his secret and started to protect yourself. He deserves to die, but you are well now. It is more useful for him to protect you alive than to die..."

Xiao Ting snorted coldly, "What if he is indifferent and harming me secretly?"

Upon hearing this, Gao also snorted, patted his granddaughter's hand and said, "Don't worry, your grandfather is still sure of this. Wei Duo has a mother. For his mother, he dare not disobey your grandfather and harm others and himself. He is not that stupid."

This is indeed the reason.

No matter what, Wei Duo, a serious problem, was solved, and Xiao Ting finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After the 20th day of rest, Xiao Ting went to Ci'an Palace to wait early.

Jing Yi brought Chun Ge'er to see him as promised and wrote a special "family letter" to him.

Xiao Ting was not in a hurry to read the letter, pretending to go to Shuanglu with Brother Chun, and then encouraged Brother Chun to call Jing Yi to help. Brother Chun likes the Fourth Princess, and he listens to whatever the "Fourth Princess" says, jumps off the ground, runs to the Queen Mother of the East House, and drags Jing Yi to the west house.

Xiao Ting sat on the chair, a little nervous.

"Is there anything wrong?" Jing Yi guessed that Xiao Ting wanted to see her, so she lifted her clothes and sat opposite Xiao Ting, then hugged Brother Chun to her lap, lowered her eyes, and looked like she could teach Brother Chun to her chess at any time.

"You, are you still angry?" Xiao Ting looked at her quickly, lowered his head to show his chess.

Brother Chun looked at the two of them curiously, and sensiblely said nothing.

"Why are you angry?" Jing Yi finally raised his eyes, and his eyes happened to meet Xiao Ting. She was calm and indifferent. Xiao Ting looked away in panic, subconsciously clenched the veil that served as the storefront, and then whispered: "Last time, I said I was big..." Halfway through, she found that Brother Chun was staring at him, and Xiao Ting quickly shut up.

Jing Yi frowned and looked at him, what's the big one?

"Big Young Master." Xiao Ting changed his name.

Jing Yi remembered it and smiled faintly, "Don't worry, princess, I've forgotten it long ago."

"What did you forget?" Brother Chun raised his head and couldn't help but interrupt.

Jing Yi smiled and touched the boy's little nose, "It's okay, Brother Chun will play chess with the fourth princess, and Brother Third will accompany his aunt."

Brother Chun nodded obediently.

Xiao Ting looked at his younger brother's nose and then at Jing Yi's big hand. He was so angry that he wanted to snatch the veil again. He was obviously his wife, why could he see her every day? Chun Ge'er was even more blessed and didn't know how to be blessed. But his prospective husband endured the pain of lovesickness in the palace alone?

"Wait!" Xiao Ting stood up and shouted at Jing Yi.

Jing Yi paused and looked back at him, with only doubts in his eyes and no nostalgia.

Xiao Ting knew that she was still angry, angry that he questioned her character and was worried that she would fall in love with her elder brother.

Scandaling his eyes to the palace maid guarding the door, Xiao Ting walked to Jing Yi, stared at her and said, "Your thing has dropped."

As he said that, he reached out to her.

Jing Yi lowered his head and saw that there was also a letter in Xiao Ting's palm that was a copper coin size.

Fearing that someone would see it, Jing Yi immediately pinched the letter and received it in her sleeve, lowered her eyes and said, "Thank you, Princess."

Xiao Ting tried hard to hold back her laughter, and the more she looked at her serious look, the more she liked her.
