Chapter 367 Unraveling the Cocoon

"Then, let's assume that the problem lies with Jiang Fan and Man'er themselves. What kind of riddle are these two people... playing?" Sima Ru said with great interest.

King Wei suddenly also smiled slightly: "If it is really for love, it would be really interesting."

Sima Ru suddenly looked at King Wei: "Your Majesty, if possible, do you agree with Man'er marrying King Xiaoyao?"

King Wei stopped and thought for a moment: "If we don't act small, it will be more useful than marrying Xiahou Ting..."

Sima Ru nodded slightly: "But the problem is that it is unrealistic not to be a child. Therefore, the king will never agree. If the king does not agree...then will the two of them perform a show in the air and show their respect for Xiahou Ting?

, but actually let the king hear it?"

King Wei's eyes froze: "What the Imperial Master means... Man'er's real purpose is to force this King to agree?"

Sima Ru said calmly: "Man'er has been independent since she was a child, not following the secular etiquette. Especially after traveling with Jiang Fan, it became even more obvious. If she doesn't care and wants to be that Jiang Fan's woman, it is really possible.

…”

King Wei was dumbfounded for a long time: "What the hell is it that a great woman is not allowed to stay..."



The third day of September is the big day when the son of the Marshal of Wei's army marries Princess Changying of Wei.

It was already August 27th, and there were only six days left before the wedding, but he didn't want to break the news that Xia Houting had assassinated King Xiaoyao and shock the whole city.

After many attempts to trace the source, it was discovered that a Jianghu man named Xia Chen revealed this to the girl he liked after being drunk in a brothel. This Xia Chen was one of the people who were hired that day. It is said that there were four people on that day.

Three of the martial arts masters accepted Xiahou Ting's employment, and three of them were killed by King Xiaoyao. Only he himself managed to escape because he was the lookout.

This person said that they did not know that they were dealing with King Xiaoyao, and they just took the portrait to assassinate him. They did not expect that he was such a big shot, and that he was accompanied by martial arts guards. This person was very proud of being able to escape from King Xiaoyao, but he did not expect it to be such a big shot.

He dared to speak out. In the end, he couldn't hold it in after drinking, and boasted about it to Cui Liu'er, the girl he was thinking of.

Who knew that this girl was a big talker? It didn't take long before she spread the news to her close friend. Later, the close friend revealed the matter to many people as a conversation piece after drinking. Eventually, the news spread and the whole city knew about it.

Afterwards, Xia Chen and his lover probably hid because they saw the situation was not going well.

And no one knew that Xia Chen and Cui Liu'er were kneeling in front of a young man in the Tianzi Room of Yuelai Inn.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I have done as you asked... Can you please spare this villain's life..."

Xia Chen said with a worried expression.

The young man is naturally none other than Xiaoyao Wang Jiangfan.

He smiled slightly: "Don't worry, if I want to kill you, I will not let you go on the day of the assassination. You are a smart kid. I kept you just for today. You have done well. I will give you a generous reward afterwards."

Xia Chen hurriedly thanked him profusely. Yes, he was one of the four groups of people in Xia Kingdom, the one with a bit of a probing meaning.

Jiang Fan turned his head and looked at Cui Liu'er: "You are not bad. I will tell Miss Luan later that your reward will be indispensable."

Cui Liuer hurriedly kowtowed: "Your Majesty is my master's distinguished guest. It is Cui Liuer's honor to serve you. I would never accept it as a reward from you."

Jiang Fan smiled: "Okay, everyone, get up, our play is not over yet."

The two of them kowtowed respectfully before standing up.

Jiang Fan stood up and walked to the window, looked out the window with his hands behind his hands, and a smile appeared on his lips: "Next... just wait for that stupid pig to send someone to kill you."

——

In the palace, King Wei and Sima Ru were playing chess. Suddenly a general in front of the palace came in and reported: "Your Majesty, someone is flying an arrow to deliver a message."

King Wei was stunned for a moment, then slowly put down the chess piece in his hand and said, "Bring it up."

The general in front of the palace presented a letter sealed with fire paint to King Wei with both hands, then bowed and left.

King Wei stared at it for a while, slowly opened it, looked at it for a moment, his eyes moved, and handed the letter to Sima Ru: "The Imperial Master will also take a look."

Sima Ru took it and saw it said: "The third house on the west side of Baima Lane in the west of the city can fish."

Sima Ru looked at it for a long time and showed a meaningful expression: "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

King Wei tapped his fingers on the chessboard: "Send a message to this king. This depends on my attitude."

Sima Rudao: "Now it is certain that King Xiaoyao is in Jian'an, and he must have done this. The meaning of this letter is very simple, give us a step."

King Wei nodded: "Yes, give us the witness and let us take Xiahou Ting by the way. Naturally, the wedding can only be cancelled."

Sima Rudao: "A good method is inevitable. But if you do this, you will offend Commander Xiahou."

King Wei said: "Xiahou is easy to handle. If he knew about this, he would not break Xiahou Ting's legs. Even if he is resentful, he can only blame his son for being confused."

Sima Ru shook his head: "This King Xiaoyao is very clever, but I am really curious. He really did not use this matter to threaten Wei State. The overall situation of the world is not as important to him as Man'er, unless I haven't understood its meaning yet.

, Otherwise, this person can be called the most affectionate person."

King Wei said slowly: "If this is really the case, we finally discovered a weakness in him."

Sima Ru said: "The weakness is still Nilin, the king needs to weigh it carefully."

King Wei snorted coldly: "Only dragons have reverse scales."

Sima Ru said calmly: "He is wearing a five-clawed golden dragon king robe..."

King Wei's eyes were deep and his thick eyebrows were furrowed tightly.

Sima Ru sighed and said, "Then... do something?"

King Wei also said helplessly: "How passive..."

——

There were only six days left for the wedding, and Xia Houting was like an ant on a hot pot.

The source of the news has been found, but the problem is that the person can't be found.

The most uneasy thing is that it seems that the King of Wei is also looking for that person. This means that the King of Wei may have ulterior motives. However, the old man is in charge of the army and cannot come back until the wedding day. Now it can be said that there is no one.

There is no backbone.

Just as he was restless, a maidservant suddenly walked in hurriedly.

Xia Houting looked startled, he knew this maid, she was the personal maid of the eighth aunt.

The maidservant knelt down and saluted and said: "My eldest son, Madam has invited you."

Xiahou Ting was stunned for a moment: "Auntie is looking for me?"

The maid nodded.

"What's the matter?"

"I don't know, I just want you to ask me face to face."

Xiahou Ting thought for a moment, then immediately got up and followed the maid to the backyard.

Not long after, I came to an elegant small building, where a young woman with an elegant face, like a mountain lily, was sitting quietly drinking tea.

This is Wang Su, the eighth aunt that the old man of his family has recently adopted into his family. She quietly raised her in a separate courtyard for several months before she was officially brought into the family. She is very favored.

At the beginning, the other aunts were very resistant, but this little woman was very good at making trouble, and kept giving her gifts every three days. Gradually, they stopped making trouble. After all, Xiahou Chundu had seven concubines, which was a lot.
