Chapter 668 The Ones Watching for Their Chance
When Sheng Weiqiao got up the next day, Rong Shuihe had gone to the bath after finishing his boxing training.
She seated herself before the dresser lazily and requested Jinli to do her hair and makeup, "Were you scared last night?"
"The sound of gong disturbed us indeed." Jinli whispered, combing Sheng Weiqiao's floor-length hair with a jade comb carved with the pattern of a peacock carrying a flower, "But before we put on our coats, the bodyguards had informed us from outside our bedroom that it was no more than a small pile of fodder that had caught fire, according to the person who had been sent to check the condition. Hence, we just ignored it."
Sheng Weiqiao said, "You were courageous. I was worried that you would spend the whole night being awake in fear!"
"How could we?" Jinli laughed, "I would be on duty today. I can't afford to lose sleep and slip up the next day when serving Your Grace."
She added, "In

In fact, Shu Sisters had learned about the fire at the posthouse already. Noble Consort Shu flung the ivory fan in the pattern of phoenixes and peonies to the ground and cursed the Meng Family, "It's wolfish of them! If Noble Consort Rou had been tougher at the time, they wouldn't have been in a place to stir up trouble and domineer over people!"The servants around didn’t dare to speak, lying prostrate on the ground.Noble Consort Shu kept throwing things onto the ground. Luckily, Consort Shu finally got a chance to excuse herself, came over, and consoled Noble Consort Shu, "Everyone knows what's in the Meng Family's head. But freaking out won't get us anywhere. Instead, it's imperative to lend Shuihe a hand!""But we've got only three to five competent bodyguards. It's not enough. We can't bank on them to make a difference to Shuihe's distant dangerous journey." Noble Consort Shu calmed down a bit at the sight of her sister. She kicked

The prediction Rong Shuihe had told Sheng Weiqiao immediately came true when they got out of Chang'an.Apparently, the Meng Family had made up its minds to wear out its enemies through constant attacks as Rong Shuihe and his people suffered attacks almost every night in the following days. Fortunately, Rong Shuihe's subordinates used to be pirates who were experts in murder and arson and were ready for withstanding attacks. Therefore, they did not give the Meng Family any chance to commit arson.However, the men of sacrifice advanced wave upon wave, which truly affected their journey and their people's mental states.Perhaps the Meng Family found that this strategy was effective. Therefore, after Rong Shuihe's procession had gotten out of the royal city, they even tried to cause trouble for Rong Shuihe and his people in the daytime.Seeing that, Rong Shuihe immediately changed their strategy of only guarding strictly. He tra
Deceive me, Marry me Chapter 671 The Jishan Bandit
Compared with villages in Nanfeng County and the royal city, this village did not have a large population. However, it covered a large area. The cottages were scattered on the sunny slope of the mountain. There was only one path for people to go up or down.On one side of the path was a crag which was even hard for apes to climb. It was covered in vines such as climbing figs, and there were many colorful snakes and insects on it.Sheng Weiqiao happened to meet the eye of a colorful poisonous snake when passing the crag with the support of her maid. She trembled with fright and almost missed her step.Xu Lianshan, who was not far from her, saw the snake and quickly threw a dagger at it to kill it. Then, a bodyguard went to take the snake happily. He returned the dagger to Xu Lianshan and gave the snake to the chef to make an extra meal for dinner.On the other side of the path was the bottomless cliff. It was shrouded in clou

Sheng Weiqiao and Madam Feng's sister lived in the village for five days. In order to welcome them, people of the village stocked up a lot of firewood, rice, oil, salt, bacon and pickles in advance, and temporarily bought a batch of live livestock.This place had lush vegetation, which made a perfect living environment for wild animals and potherbs. Xu Lianshan sent a few people out to hunt every day, which not only investigated nearby but also added some fresh dishes to Sheng Weiqiao, so the life of Sheng Weiqiao and others here was not bad.However, Sheng Weiqiao couldn't contact Rong Shuihe and the others. So it was inevitable that Sheng Weiqiao was secretly worried, feeling that one day seemed a year.But finally, in the early morning of the sixth day, a messenger came first, informing that the matter had been resolved and Rong Shuihe would personally come to pick them up within two days at most.Sheng Weiqiao and Madam
Deceive me, Marry me Chapter 673 Surprising Master Wu
Sheng Weiqiao was stunned and said, "So your name... already reveals your origin?"If Huan Guanlan originally named Rong Shuihe "Shuihe" because he wanted to use "Shuihe Xian" to allude to the Emperor rather than the peony, so this name was obviously an allusion to point out the blood relationship between Rong Shuihe and the Emperor.What was more, if thinking about it a little more deeply, Emperor Xuanjing once had great ambitions for the country but he soon became obsessed with beauties and forgot his ambitions. Wasn't it the literal meaning of "Shuihe Xian", being lazy and obsessed with beauties?"But Mr. Huan doesn't seem to have any ill intentions towards you?" Sheng Weiqiao pondered for a while and said, "He even has a few high hopes for you?"She said this implicitly. But in fact, she thought that Huan Guanlan probably hoped that Rong Shuihe would take the throne in the future.Otherwise, why would Mr. Hu

"You are the master of the Jishan Bandit!" Seeing this, Madam Feng's sister and Sheng Weiqiao glanced at the guard who stopped the women. The guard nodded slightly, so they knew that what the women said was true. They all stood up and said politely, "I'm really sorry. We lost a lot of carriages and horses before. There's even no room for luggage. Mizhen is out looking for porters, so he's not here now. Please sit down and wait a minute. We'll send men to find him."Those female bandits didn't pester. They bowed with both hands clasped to return salutes. They didn't approach and directly walked to other tables. They shouted and asked the waiter to serve them liquor and dishes as soon as possible.Cold dishes and liquor could be prepared in advance. These were served faster than hot dishes and hot soups. Those female bandits didn't take a bite of the dishes when the liquor was served. They opened mud seals of the liquor pots directly, lined up large bo
Deceive me, Marry me Chapter 675 Three Strategies of the Military Advisor
Hearing Master Wu's words, Rong Shuihe wasn't surprised at all. He said calmly, "Yes, it has been two years since he died. But his death had nothing to with me. The pirates fought because of personal grudges. He was involved, unfortunately. And I was not there at that time. I was too far away to save him.""I knew it!" Master Wu sighed deeply. She lowered her eyes to hide her tears and sadness. But as she looked up, her expression became calm and cold as usual, saying without any expression, "Otherwise, you are not able to get that letter."Rong Shuihe smiled without a word.After a moment of silence, Master Wu didn't bother about that anymore but got down to business, "What are you going to do after the Jishan Bandit pledged their loyalty to the Emperor?"Rong Shuihe replied, "I am going to reorganize the Xijiang army. Everyone knows that my real purpose is to control military power. The main force of the Jishan Bandit is a
Deceive me, Marry me Chapter 676 The Guess of the Meng Family ― the Leakage of Rong Shuihe's Hole Card
Escorted by Xu Lianshan, Sheng Weiqiao and Juli went to the place where Master Wu and her followers rested. They ran into Madam Feng's sister on their way when she was feeding sparrows in the winding corridor. Knowing where Sheng Weiqiao was going, Madam Feng's sister said, "I'll go with you!"Sheng Weiqiao waited for her aunt to go back and change a proper dress. Then, they reached Master Wu's place hand in hand. When they entered the room, they happened to see Master Wu wiping her sword around her waist carefully with a silk handkerchief.The handle and scabbard of the sword looked threadbare. It was apparent that the sword was old and had a complex history.However, its blade was still clear and shiny. One could be frightened by its sharp edge even a few steps away.Sheng Weiqiao said inwardly, "This sword and Xu Baomo's sharp soft sword bestowed by the emperor, which one is better? Even if Master Wu's sword is not as goo
