C648 Unbelievable (1/2)

His gaze swept in all directions before finally landing on a green figure —

It was a young nun. She turned around and walked out of the crowd. As she watched the back of the crowd gradually being squeezed out, there was a trace of loneliness and sadness, making him feel a sense of familiarity with her.

This is...

”Yi'er, quick, look! The Prime Minister's Estate is right in front of us!” Just as he was about to take a closer look, Lian Fu shouted. His mind wandered, and when he looked again at the back, that person had already disappeared.

Among the welcoming crowd, there were also people discussing.

”It really is a changing of the situation. The river flows east and west for thirty years. Back then, the Duke of Xiao and his son came back from Liao Prefecture. How awe-inspiring was that? The Emperor even led several princes to personally greet them at the city gates.”

The other person heard this and immediately said, ”You really don't want to live anymore. You're still talking about the Duke of Xiao, but the title of Duke of Xiao has already been crippled by the emperor. You still call yourself that when the Shangguan family hears you, they are going to arrest you.”

When Feng Lingyue heard these words, her heart suddenly trembled. She stopped in her tracks. What? The title of Duke of Xiao had been crippled? What was going on?

Today, when she heard that the Department of War's right assistant, Yan Fu, had won a great victory over Qi Dan, she had quietly descended the mountain to see if she could see the Lian Conjure. She still did not know anything about what had happened in the capital.

How could the Xiao family?

”Yes, yes, yes, I'm blabbering too much!” The person who said the wrong thing immediately covered his mouth.

”However, it really makes one sigh. At that time, the person riding in high spirits was still the young duke, Xiao He. The young duke at that time was quite proud of himself.”

But now, the entire Xiao family was imprisoned. I heard that the Emperor is going to exterminate the entire Xiao family soon! ”What a pity!” Some people said with regret.

Complete decapitation?

Xiao He, Xiao He is going to be beheaded as well?

Feng Lingyue's eyes revealed a hint of fear, and she suddenly felt a panic in her heart. Her hand tightly gripped the meditation bead in her hand.

She turned around and looked at Lian Fu through the crowd. He was in a crowd, laughing so happily.

She turned her head and squeezed through the crowd. She walked along the street, avoiding the bustling crowd, and hurried in the direction of the Xiao family.

Arriving at the Xiao Residence's entrance, he saw the thick and heavy door was pasted with an eye-catching seal. The two bronze lions that used to be majestic and awe-inspiring at the entrance were now covered with fallen leaves.

Something had really happened to the Xiao family. What … What was going on?

Didn't the Emperor always hold Xiao He in high regard? Why didn't he let Xiao He off?

At this time, someone hastily walked past her. She quickly pulled one of them and asked, ”Uncle, why is the Xiao family sealed away? What happened?”

Aiyo, my little master, how dare you stand in front of the Xiao family's entrance. This old thief from the Xiao country had joined up with his father-in-law, King Anping, to fight. Now, King Anping is using three hundred thousand troops to directly attack the Imperial City and the Xiao family is going to be beheaded.

”But Xiao He didn't participate in this, right? Why is he also …” Feng Lingyue believed that with Xiao He's character, he wouldn't do anything like colluding with the enemy and betraying the country. He definitely wouldn't know about this.

”Little master, you're too naive. As the saying goes, you can't be separated from your father and son. Xiao Zhenhai and Xiao He are father and son. How could your son not know about your father's matter? This Xiao He is definitely not innocent.”

Feng Lingyue stood rooted to the spot —

No, she believed in Xiao He's character.

”Hey, little master, who are you in the Xiao family? Why did you come here on purpose?” The old man looked at Feng Lingyue strangely.

Feng Lingyue came back to her senses and hurriedly said, ”He's not some random person. I just happened to pass by by by chance. I'm leaving, it's good that he came.” After she explained, she lowered her head and hurriedly walked away.

The uncle looked at her back as she hurried away and said, ”It really is a strange little nun. She clearly seems to be very familiar with the Xiao family.”
