Chapter 333 (1/2)
Chapter 333: Ninny, do youlet out a breath of relief after seeing Ning Xiaoyao usher Chen Lu into the palace If His Majesty is still willing to use Chen Lu, this son-in-law of his will still have a future
”Everyone sit ah,” Ning Xiaoyao asked the two in-laws in front of her to sit for thepulled him down to sit on a chair
”Does General Chen have plans to remain in the capital or would you rather follow Great General Xu?” Ning Xiaoyao started the conversation with a question Chen Lu continued to stay silent As long as he could keep his life and not get locked up in a prison or burnt to death, he would already feel very lucky and blessed
”Your Majesty,” Xu Jing excitedly asked, ”Chen Lu can continue to stay and protect the capital?”
”Of course, ah!” Ning Xiaoyao happily replied, ”Great General Xu, you've also seen it… Grand Preceptor's people are still causing trouble for us If General Chen decides to remain in the city, he can continue to protect the capital!”
”Chen Lu,” after hearing Ning Xiaoyao's words, Xu Jing turned his head to Chen Lu, ”Are you not going to thank His Majesty?”
Chen Lu got down to his knees like a wooden puppet to give thanks When Ning Xiaoyao shouted for hiet up, he was stilladded, ”Your Majesty, what about thethe assassins of the justice courts?”
”Great General Xu and Lord Protector are busy with theXiaoyao waved her hand, ”We can't descend into chaos just because of a few spies I'm not even afraid of an aruts, they can rush into the palace to bite me to death!”
Great General Xu: … Were His Majesty's words always this hard to understand?
”Supre Xiaoyao tilted her head and continued, ”We currently do not have to worry about the Northern Hu Now, I' iainst the rebel forces?”
”Mh Xiaoyao nodded, ”The quicker this matter is settled, the better After this ends, I still have to go settle things with the Northern Hu”
Great General Xu becaain His Majesty was so ambitious but neither of these tasks were easy?
”This ive up because it's not easy, right?” Ning Xiaoyao looked at Xu Jing, ”We still have to protect the thirty six city barracks Great General Xu, I'onna have to burden you and Lord Protector with this matter”
If Great General Xu had to ith Lord Protector, the poould still lie with Lord Protector Although Xu Jing felt bitter, he did not show it in front of Ning Xiaoyao Coed his loyalty fro had his own agenda If he listened to His Majesty's orders and ed to win some battles in the war, the Xu Clan would continue to prosper and be used by His Majesty in the future
”General Chen should take control of the city barracks then,” Ning Xiaoyao placed the fate of the city in Chen Lu's hands Lord Protector should haveXiaoyao was still a little biased
Chen Lu dropped to his knees to give thanks again Ning Xiaoyao sat on the chair and laughed gleefully, ”Now General Chen can't betray me anymore ah” Actually it's fine even if he did Then I would be able to find Grand Preceptor I will not bla Xiao Yao looked at Chen Lu and thought, I aood person!
”This subject does not dare,” Chen Lu hurriedly koed to Ning Xiaoyao
”If he dares to rebel again,” Xu Jing also got to his knees, ”This subject will personally kill this traitor!!”
Ning Xiaoyao: …This is not necessary right? Father-in-law killing his own son-in-law What would happen to Miss Xu then? (Author's Note: Why do you even care about that?)
By daybreak, Lord Protector and Xu Jing had already left the capital Since Lord Protector caht, he did not even have the time to see the old madam and his family
All the people in the capital were aware of what happened in the justice courts yesterday night However, after seeing Lord Protector and Great General Xu leave the capital with their troops, everyone felt a sense of relief The soldiers were still able to continue their work as usual
It seemed like His Majesty was unbothered about the fact that Xie Wenyuan was still at large If His Majesty didn't care, why should the common people be worried?
Aroundstate If someone really had to point out a difference, it would be that the visitors fro Xiaoyao laid on the table and looked at the name list that Elder Li had passed her Pei Yan added at the side, ”These twenty eight were chosen as generals by Xie Wenyuan”
”Fro Xiaoyao counted from the name list
”Your Majesty, how should we handle the faht people?” Elder Li asked Ning Xiaoyao
”Let's set the Xiaoyao blurted out If they were locked in prison, wouldn't the government have to raise them? They weren't in debt anymore but they still can't waste o?” Pei Yan raised his voice
”If not, raise the a battle ah We need to save enerations of traitors are to be killed,” Pei Yan e Xiaoyao's brows furrowed again She has to kill people again?!?
”Elder Li, what do you think?” Second Young Master Pei i Xiaoyao, ”If we don't exterminate the entire clan of traitors, everyone would think they could be as lucky in the future Does Your Majesty want this to happen?”
”I don't But I also don't believe that everyone would want to betrayXiaoyao took a deep breath and rebutted Elder Li for once, ”This o Just kill the traitors I don't like killing whole families at the drop of a hat”
”How is this at the drop of a hat? They are traitors, ah!!” Pei Yan exasperatedly growled
”It's not like they succeeded Why are you so angry, Second Young Master?” Ning Xiaoyao grinned at hiain
