Knowing that Huo Zhaoqing was rescued, even if it was only Bai Ying's verbal conclusion at the moment, was enough to make Huo Zhaoxun excited.

Therefore, after being separated from them, his steps could not help but become a little brisker.

Returning to the study room in the main courtyard, Guo Pingchuan had been waiting for him for a long time. When he saw him coming back, he immediately raised his hands and saluted, "Master Marquis, all Chen Jimao's subordinates have been settled, and he himself is willing to serve you, but there is a prerequisite, that is

His butcher knife will never be used against the innocent people of the Daxuan Dynasty, and I also hope that the Marquis can do this and destroy the city without killing innocent people."

Huo Zhaoxun sneered, "Does he really think I'm that kind of cruel and murderous person?"

Guo Pingchuan smiled and said, "In the past two years, the emperor has spared no effort to discredit you, Lord Marquis, and portray you as a violent villain who kills gods and Buddhas when he meets them. Now it seems that it is not without any results."

of."

At least, it has more or less formed a certain stereotype in the minds of people all over the world.

Didn’t you see that even generals like Chen Jimao, who had read books, fought in battles, and seen a lot of the world, believed it to be true?

After a pause, Guo Pingchuan asked, "Do you want me to explain something to him, lest he really think that Mr. Marquis, you like to kill innocent people indiscriminately and can never be truly loyal to you."

"No matter how much you hear, it's better to see it with your own eyes. What kind of person I am, he will naturally know clearly in the future, and there is no need to explain so much to him." Huo Zhaoxun said calmly.

Guo Pingchuan "Yes."

Although he agreed, he was still thinking about finding an opportunity to take Chen Jimao out for a walk and let him listen to the voices of ordinary people.

In the eyes of the people in Huaishang, the prestige of the Marquis is far higher than that of the emperor in the capital.

At this moment, the boy ran in from outside, with a trace of embarrassment on his face, as if he was hesitant and didn't know how to speak.

Huo Zhaoxun glanced at him and said, "If you have anything to say, just tell me."

"yes……"

The servant lowered his head and said, "Go back to the Marquis. Just now, according to your instructions, I told the Second Young Master of the King of Shu that you were not in the house and asked him to go back first. But he seemed to be determined by the weight and stayed here.

The banquet hall still refuses to leave, threatening to wait until Mr. Marquis comes back..."

Huo Zhaoxun frowned, "Has he told you the purpose of coming today?"

The boy shook his head, "No."

Guo Pingchuan interrupted and said, "Master Hou, that Bai Zhaoxiang is the favorite son of the King of Shu. If the Master wants to take the capital directly in the future, he will have to borrow a way from the King of Shu. Therefore, if you can avoid making enemies with him, you'd better not make enemies with him."

good."

Huo Zhaoxun pondered for a moment, then stood up and said, "Take me to meet him for a while."

"yes."

Huo Zhaoxun followed the boy out, and Guo Pingchuan thought about it and followed him.

Before entering the banquet living room, a greasy and disgusting voice came from inside, "Miss, your slender little hands are like the finest jade, white and shiny, fascinating! No, I

Tell Marquis Pingnan, will you follow me from now on?"

Immediately afterwards, a sound of tables and chairs colliding was heard.

"My lord, my status as a servant is low, comparable to mud. I am really not worthy of serving you, lest I tarnish your status!" The maid's voice was trembling, with unconcealable horror.

"I don't dislike you, so why are you so anxious to belittle yourself? Come on, let me touch your little hand..."

Huo Zhaoxun's eyes darkened slightly, and he stepped in, "Second Young Master Bai."

His appearance interrupted Bai Zhaoxiang's behavior of taking advantage of the maid.

Bai Zhaoxiang was a little unhappy at first, but when he thought about the purpose of his trip and saw Huo Zhaoxun suddenly appearing, he felt cute and amiable again.

"Marquis Pingnan, you made it easy for me to wait!"

Huo Zhaoxun did not respond to him in a hurry. He glanced at the maid kneeling on the ground and said, "Go down first."

The maid seemed to have received amnesty, "Yes!"

He hurriedly got up from the ground and ran out quickly.

Bai Zhaoxiang's eyes followed her figure reluctantly.

Huo Zhaoxun followed him and sat down on the main seat, "Second Young Master Bai is here today. Why do you want to see Huo?"

Upon hearing this question, Bai Zhaoxiang immediately became excited.

He ran to sit next to Huo Zhaoxun, his face full of interest, "Ping Nanhou, I heard that the emperor sent Princess Pingkang to your house some time ago. Is she still used to living here?"

Huo Zhaoxun's eyes dimmed, "Does the question raised by the Second Young Master represent the King of Shu's intention, or does it represent your own intention?"

Bai Zhaoxiang chuckled and narrowed his mung bean eyes until there was only a slit left, "The princess is the royal family's golden branch after all. My father is naturally concerned about her situation, and she and I are actually relatives. It is normal for a brother to care about his sister.

Well."

"Second Young Master also said that the princess is a golden person, so naturally I don't dare to neglect her."

Bai Zhaoxiang raised his eyebrows, "Is that really so? But the emperor sent Princess Pingkang here as a woman, not as a little ancestor. Pingnanhou was too confused. Princess.
