Yan Qing's words made him angry.

Manager Wu's eyes flashed, and his flattering smile also contained some sincerity, and he said: "The general has come from a long way, and the journey is tiring. The Marquis has prepared a residence for the general in the Marquis Mansion, and is waiting to take care of the general. Look.

…”

Manager Wu didn't say anything, and looked at Yan Qing carefully and expectantly with his small eyes.

"Since the Marquis has already made arrangements, if Qing refuses to comply, wouldn't it mean that he has betrayed the Marquis's good intentions?"

Yan Qing answered calmly, not missing the flash of disappointment on his face.

Naturally, they wanted to make trouble with Guo Youning themselves, so that they could save a lot of effort.

But if I really live in the Hou Mansion, I'm afraid they will already have made a trap, waiting for me to get in.

"Please, sir, lead the way."

Yan Qing urged Manager Wu, whose eyes were rolling around.

They want to get themselves into the cage, and they can use the trick to get rid of Wu Fang first.

Even if it doesn't work, we will have to deprive him of his power and make him lose Guo Youning's trust.

She didn't want to fight against the Twelve Troops of the Snowfield later, while she was on the front line killing the enemy, and Wu was behind him, fanning the flames, obstructing reinforcements, and stabbing her behind the back!

Moreover, she was also quite interested in the "promise between the five families" that Guo Jia had not finished talking about, and the identity of the person behind the scenes.

Living in the Hou Mansion made it easier for me to contact Guo Jia.

Manager Wu nodded in agreement and respectfully greeted Yan Qing and the others, "Two generals, please come forward."

Yan Qing walked in front, and Hongzhuang followed with her horse.

Manager Wu glanced at the untouched tea on the tea table in front of Yan Qing. A dark light flashed in his eyes, and he quickly retracted his eyes. He took two quick steps to follow, but was half a step behind Yan Qing. He was leading the way.

Walking all the way to the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, Manager Wu said a few words to the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion and left in a hurry.

After Guanshi Wu left, Guo Yu, the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion, met Yan Qing and the two men and said: "Master Hou is discussing matters with Master Wu. The two generals please follow me to the main hall to sit down temporarily."

Hongzhuang didn't know the details of Manager Wu. After seeing that Manager Wu brought them to the Hou Mansion, he changed people to receive them, but she ran away, so she was inevitably confused.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught Yan Qing's eyes, and Hongzhuang immediately understood. She turned to look at the direction Steward Wu was leaving, looked Guo Yu up and down again, and asked: "Old man, please forgive me. If you are the steward of the Hou Mansion, then

Who is that person just now?"

Guo Yu was stunned for a moment and said, "That's the steward of Master Wu's family. Didn't Manager Wu reveal his identity to you two?"

While talking, Guo Yu looked at the two people's expressions suspiciously, feeling that they just didn't believe in Manager Wu and were asking him to verify his identity.

Otherwise, they would not be able to follow Manager Wu into the city.

Hongzhuang curled her lips when she heard this and was quite dissatisfied, "He only said that he was the person sent by the Marquis to greet us, and he didn't say who he was."

"I saw that his clothes and behavior were not like those of an ordinary boy, so I thought he was a steward in the Marquis's residence. Now that I have met you, I realize that I was wrong."

Hongzhuang and Guo Yu fell half a step behind Yan Qing, chatting with Guo Yu complainingly, "If I just guessed the wrong identity, I am shallow. But this person brought the two of me here and only told you two things."

He left in a hurry without even saying a word, which really makes people curious."

After hearing this, Guo Yu knew that she felt that Manager Wu had slighted them and was dissatisfied.

"It's the fault of Manager Wu for neglecting the two generals. I will apologize to the two generals on my behalf."

Guo Yu laughed respectfully and gently, "It's just that there is a reason for this. Manager Wu had some urgent matters at home that needed to be dealt with, and he failed to take etiquette into consideration for the moment. Please forgive me, two generals."

"My words are serious. I come from a military background, and I am a rough man. I am not a person who pays attention to formal etiquette."

Hongzhuang said calmly, "It's just that along the way, no one asked Guan Wu for help. When we arrived in front of the Hou Mansion, he suddenly had something urgent, which made people curious."

After saying that, Hongzhuang didn't finish her words, and changed the subject before Guo Yu could speak, "Seeing that Manager Wu left in such a hurry, it must be something urgent. I wonder what it is, is it serious or not?"

Guo Yu knew in his heart that Hongzhuang was trying to trick him, so he laughed and said half-truths and half-false words: "This old slave doesn't know, but Steward Wu has never spoken to the old slave. I guess it's something he can handle, so he

It’s not a big deal.”

Hongzhuang nodded, showing just the right amount of regret for not being able to find out anything. She pursed her lips and was about to speak again, but she had already arrived at the main hall of the Hou Mansion.

"Both of you, please sit here for a moment. This old slave has sent people to the branch to meet with the Marquis. The Marquis will be here shortly."

Guo Yu hurriedly spoke before Hongzhuang spoke again, then asked people to serve tea and snacks, and led the people down.

No one was left to accompany him, and no one was left to monitor him.

Hongzhuang checked the tea and snacks before handing the things to Yan Qing.

"I am here with the emperor's mandate. If something happens in his palace, he will not be able to escape the blame."

Yan Qing laughed at Hongzhuang's excessive caution, "Even if he wanted to take action, he would not choose it at this time."

"It's always better to be cautious."

Hongzhuang didn't take it seriously, "It's hard to guarantee that someone will frame her as a frame-up."

Yan Qing's smiling eyebrows turned cold, Wu Fang's face appeared in front of his eyes, and then he remembered the last words Guo Jia said before leaving.

She asked herself to be careful when Xu met?

Is it because Wu Fang is Xu Xiangfeng’s person, or maybe Xu Xiangfeng is related to the person behind the scenes?

But judging from the behavior of the person behind the scenes, he wanted to overthrow the imperial power of the Wen family and kill everyone in the Wen family, so naturally he would not let Wen Zhehan go.

Xu Xiangfeng only had one daughter, the queen, and the queen only had one son, Wen Zhehan. If Wen Zhehan was killed, for Xu Xiangfeng, even if he could sit on the throne, it would be nothing more than making wedding clothes for others and benefiting a member of the Xu family.

In terms of motives, Xu Xianfeng is the most unlikely person.

But judging from the experience of the previous life, if the people behind the scenes involve the five families of Wen, Xu, Yan, Guo, and Li, the Xu family, the only one that has never been defeated, is the most likely mastermind.

But when she died, someone from the Wen family still sat on the throne. She didn't know what happened in the end.

What Guo Jia said was just her family's opinion.

Maybe she just wanted to kill Wu Fang and didn't want to repeat the same mistakes in the past. She also hated Xu Fangfeng because of the past and wanted to bring him down. Therefore, it is not impossible to involve the "Five Families Covenant".

What is the answer? We still need to know what the "Covenant of Five Families" mentioned by Guo Jia actually means and whether it really exists before we can continue to deduce it.

Before that, Guo Jia wanted to use her hand to kill Wu Fang, which was exactly what she wanted.

The task of cutting the weeds and rooting out must be done.

For someone like Wu Fang, just taking away his power is far from reassuring people.
