Rebirth of marriage

Ah San's reaction was regarded by everyone as being shocked by Gu Xiao's appearance, because he immediately said angrily, "King Xiao, it's you who is plotting against my master behind his back."

No one answered him.

Why bother talking to someone who is about to die?

Gu Xiao guarded Xie Jiu with an indifferent expression.

Mo Li and Mo Qi both raised their swords and stabbed Ah San. This most vicious dog around Cao Chief Assistant had made countless evil ideas for him to harm their master. He should have died long ago.

Ah San's kung fu was very high. Normally, neither of them combined would be his match. But things were different now. He hadn't had a serious meal in a while, and his strength and reflexes were not as good as before.

The secret guards quickly eliminated the other guards, leaving two people to protect Gu Xiao and Xie Jiu, while the rest of the secret guards went to besiege Asan.

Ah San was stabbed in the heart by Mo Qi's sword and died. Before he died, he stared in the direction of Xie Jiu and Gu Xiao with wide eyes.

Gu Xiao subconsciously blocked Xie Jiu's eyes. The face of a person with a dead eye on his face is always terrifying.

Xie Jiu felt warm in her heart and let him cover her up, but she was a Rakshasa who had returned from hell, so how could she be afraid of death?

The corpses were quickly cleared away, and even the blood-stained snow was quickly covered up.

She walked towards Cao Chengwang, pricked his head several times with the silver needle in her hand, and then made a booing gesture towards Gu Xiao and the people behind her.

Everyone didn't know why, but soon they heard Cao Chengwang yelling, "What the hell is this place, Asan, what are you doing? Why can't I see anything?"

He rubbed his eyes hard, "Dad, Ah San, where are you..."

Seeing this, Gu Xiao waved his hand behind him, and Mo Qi and others silently retreated away.

Cao Chengwang seemed to hear something, and yelled madly at the place where the sound came from, "Slave dog, what are you doing? Speak quickly, or I will kill you..."

Xie Jiu frowned and looked at his non-stop mouth, tightening his fingers to keep from making him mute.

She walked up to Cao Shoufu, took out a few slightly longer silver needles from the silver hairpin in her hair, and pierced half of the silver needles into Cao Shoufu's flesh.

At the place where he was stabbed, another tiny, down-like needle was immediately forced out of his body. Xie Jiu used a long silver needle to remove the small needle. In this way, five small needles were forced out of Cao Shoufu's body in a row.

Seeing those small needles quickly submerged in the snow water, Gu Xiao was thoughtful.

So even if she didn't bring her here today, she would make a special trip to take out the needles from Cao Zhicheng's body.

Fortunately, I brought her here, otherwise I don't know how she would have walked in the mountains in such freezing weather.

Soon, the unconscious Cao Shoufu curled up and twitched. Xie Jiu hugged Gu Xiao's waist and silently said to him, "Let's go."

Gu Xiao understood, and before Cao Shoufu opened his eyes, he carried her to the place where Mo Qi and the others were hiding.

Then he watched from a distance as Cao Chengwang crawled to Cao Shoufu's side. After a while, Cao Shoufu stopped twitching and the pain in his body dissipated. Only then did he have enough energy to look into his son's eyes and find a group of guards.

After asking Cao Chengwang a few questions and getting no response from Ah San and others, he knew something must have happened to them.

Cao Chengwang was still cursing, "Dad, these slaves must have run away because they couldn't bear the hardship. When they return to the capital, they will kill all their families. Dad, my eyes must be their fault..."

"Let's go." Cao Shoufu sternly interrupted his brainless son, struggled to get up from the ground, and pulled him. The father and son, one old and weak, the other blind, staggered down the mountain.

Seeing the people walking away, Mo Li finally couldn't hold it in any longer, "Xie Jiu, you actually know how to use needles. What did you do to them? It was you who did that to the old man named Cao, right?"

He was still confused just now. The Cao family and his son did not take the life of the guards as their fate. Cao Chengwang was still alive, and the body of Cao Shoufu, who was also his master and son, would not be in such a dilapidated state.

Xie Jiu nodded. When she flicked the needle on her fingertip towards Cao Shoufu in front of Gu Xiao, she had no intention of hiding it from them, and she couldn't hide it, unless she stopped using needles in the future, which was impossible.

"Miss Xie used this injection to make him sick that day, so he had to return to the city and set out again the next day, but he happened to be trapped in the mountains.

At that time, they were worried about Cao Shoufu's illness and were in a hurry to leave. They had no intention of preparing more food and medicinal materials, so they lost so many guards. "

Mo Qi seemed to be asking a question, but more like explaining to Mo Li and others, and continued to ask, "Miss Xie, does his illness happen frequently? Will it happen again in the future?"

When Cao Shoufu got sick for the first time, Mo Qi saw it with his own eyes, and everything became clear as soon as he saw Xie Jiu's actions.

Xie Jiu shook his head, "The needle in the body will happen once a day, and the needle will be forced out. That was the last time just now."

Mo Li's eyes widened, he held up his hands and smiled, "No wonder I'm so old. Thanks for the wine, you've avenged me happily."

Then he said with some pity, "Why don't you let him continue to suffer? And Cao Chengwang should really make him mute, deaf, or crippled."

Xie Jiu said calmly, "If there is a needle, the doctor will easily find it. As for Cao Chengwang's eyes, I did not leave a needle in the body. Normally, doctors cannot see it, so they would suspect that he might be stimulated by the white snow and cause snow blindness."

Her eyes were covered with frost, "As long as they find some evidence, even if the prince did not do it, they will try to pin it on the prince's head.

I know that the prince is not afraid, but why should he taint his reputation for such a person? Isn't it better to let them bother to guess? "

Her original intention was to avenge Gu Xiao, but not to cause trouble for him, even though Cao Shoufu never gave up on killing him.

In the past, Gu Xiao never concealed his counterattacks, but this time she was trying to be mysterious, which would definitely make Cao Shoufu, who usually did evil things, wonder if there were other enemies coming, and at least it would distract him from targeting Gu Xiao.

"Miss Xie is right." After a long silence, Mo Qi spoke first.

Everyone nodded in agreement and looked at Xie Jiu. She was so successful in plotting against Cao Shoufu this time.

As for why she can even calculate the weather so accurately, everyone only thinks that she has special intelligence. After all, she is the person that the prince likes. Besides her good looks, she always has her own abilities.

The medicinal materials and briquettes provided during the snowstorm were of great help to everyone, and everyone was grateful to her.

Gu Xiao saw everyone's reaction and raised his lips slightly.

Seeing that her snow-white face was slightly red from the cold due to the low temperature in the mountains, he put the hood of her wind cloak on her, bent down and picked her up, and ordered, "Return."

After arriving at the villa in the mountain, Gu Xiao suddenly said, "I have figured out Cao Zhicheng's abilities and I have ways to deal with him. But if he dies and it is another man from the Cao family, I will have to understand an enemy again. I Tired of dealing with them.”

Xie Jiu was slightly stunned, but Gu Xiao actually explained to her.

He began to care about her opinion of him. He didn't want her to think that he was incompetent and cowardly for not killing Cao Shoufu.

Xie Jiu's heart was screaming.

Gu Xiao had never cared about what others thought of him before.

Men only want to maintain their image in front of the woman they love.

She responded, "I understand."

But killing Cao Shoufu and completely collapsing the Cao family was Xie Jiu's goal.

Whether it was hatred from the previous life or preventing the third prince from ascending the throne in this life, she would try to kill the third prince.

The third prince is the hope of the Cao family, and the Cao family is the third prince's support. She and the Cao family are destined to be enemies.

No, they are already enemies.

Then, Gu Xiao talked to Xie Jiu about the news from the capital. The collusion between Cao Chief Fu and Di Rong had been widely spread, but the Cao family insisted that someone was slandering the Cao family's reputation.

The news reached the palace, but the emperor made no move.

Until the old censor's report was presented to the court in the morning, the emperor ordered people to go to Cao's house to invite Cao's chief assistant, but no one was available.

The second master of the Cao family then explained to the emperor on behalf of his eldest brother that the chief assistant Cao had to leave the capital secretly because he was looking for Cao Chengwang who had sneaked out of the capital. It was not for a personal relationship with Di Rong as rumored. He also stated the Cao family's feelings towards the emperor. loyalty.

In the previous dynasty, a group of officials from Cao's party interceded, and a queen in the harem cried out that Cao Shoufu was an only child, and he was also naughty. He had no choice but to go find it himself, and asked the emperor to understand Cao Shoufu's feelings as a father.

No matter what happened in private, on the surface the emperor respected the queen and his brother-in-law, so he promised to wait for Cao Shoufu to return to Beijing and give him a chance to explain.

"So, the Cao family sent someone to pick up their father and son?" Xie Jiu asked.

Gu Xiao nodded.
