Chapter 685 (1/2)
Huo Tianxiu followed the Marquis to escort Miao Heng all the way back to the post station. The Marquis ordered Cong ting to have a good review of his Miao family incense shop, so he took Huo Tianxiu back to his room.
Huo Tianxiu saw that his road was gloomy and could condense frost. Even if they had made the worst plan before, the troops of the whole Wanzhou were ready. When they were ready to fight a war when they could not recover their military power, the Hou Ye's face was not as ugly as it is now.
”Have you heard of the Miao family incense shop in those days?” The Marquis finally asked.
Although Huo Tianxiu guessed all the way, that is, for this matter, he had thought about the Miao family incense shop that year. There was nothing wrong except that the door was closed abruptly.
So he sat down opposite the Duke and asked suspiciously, ”it's really popular for a while. I've heard of it. What's the secret?”
The Marquis looked very hesitant. Huo Tianxiu was the confidant of the emperor. The emperor even kept Huo Tianxiu from the Miao family incense shop. The Marquis also made a great determination to tell him all the things Xiao mubai told himself.
The Marquis didn't know completely. It was probably speculation. It had something to do with LAN Yuying's mother, the emperor and the western regions.
Huo Tianxiu was so surprised by him that he held a cup of tea in his hand, but he always forgot to drink it. He knew that the Marquis had always relied on his friendship with the emperor and was somewhat unscrupulous.
But I didn't expect that his son could toss more than him. He actually demolished the Song painting in the imperial study and made so many troubles.
Huo Tianxiu and the Marquis stared at each other in silence for a long time. After that, Huo Tianxiu threw down the tea lamp and scolded angrily, ”is this his stupid thing? Why do you tell me?”
Seeing that he was furious, the Marquis calmed down, wiped the splashed water stains on his hands, and asked faintly, ”you didn't ask me. What's the secret?”
Huo Tianxiu was angry for a moment. He rolled up his sleeve and pointed at him again and again. It took him a long time to hold back: ”you could have fooled me around. Why do you have to pull me into this muddy water!”
The Marquis ”tut” said, ”who are we to be with? It was a life-long friendship. How can I bear to fool you.”
”Bah!” Huo Tianxiu looked at his frowning and eye beating appearance. He really wanted to scream with a slap.
What the emperor doesn't want to be known, so he knows a lot.
What can he do now? Can he return to Beijing and tell the emperor that his subordinates dare not deceive you when they know a big secret?
”So, the coffin taken away by the Regent of the western regions...” Huo Tianxiu suddenly reacted, and the whole person became more and more depressed.
”Whether you can know more depends on how much Miao Heng explained. I didn't expect that he was Miao Jiaxiang...”
Huo Tianxiu reached out and motioned to the Marquis to stop. He had a headache. He didn't want to know this at all!
The Marquis digested by him. Seeing that he put down his hand to help his forehead, he pushed him a cup of tea and asked him, ”is there anything different in Beijing before you leave?”
Huo Tianxiu took a sip of hot tea and was shocked. He pinched his eyebrows and thought about it: ”there's nothing unusual.”
After a long silence, the Marquis then asked, ”have you had any contact with Beijing since you played Chang'an?”
Speaking of this, Huo Tianxiu was suspicious: ”it's strange that I didn't return one of the letters I wrote to Wen Shu.”
The Hou Ye's complexion coagulated again in an instant. Huo Tianxiu panicked when he saw that his complexion changed.
He then asked, a little stumbling: ”why... What's the matter?”
The panic at the bottom of Hou Ye's eyes flashed: ”in Beijing, I'm afraid something has happened.”
