After listening to Xiao An's words, Zhou Quan couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. The emperor was ruthless and could do anything.
Through the emperor's words, he also understood several meanings.
Marrying Liu Rumei to Chen Xiaobei, the daughter of a marquis, to a mountain villager was equivalent to humiliating Liu Xiangnan. Of course, Xiao An did not mention whether Liu Xiangnan could live or die.
You can't get out of the prison, everything is still unknown.
The more important point is that I am afraid that Chen Xiaobei's two wives will encounter a disaster, but as a subordinate, he cannot talk about such things, he can only do them.
The day was over in a blink of an eye. Seeing that it was getting dark, Raldo couldn't hold his breath anymore. It was uncomfortable to stay at the altar for a day, but it got cold after dark. He wanted to go back to a warm house.
Have some wine and have a good sleep.
Now Lardo still has some sense of caution. Before taking action, he should first ask Chen Xiaobei what he meant.
Chen Xiaobei was a little confused after hearing this, but then he thought about it, since he wanted to do it, he should stick to it to the end. He couldn't clock in during the day and get off work at night. Then it seemed that this approach was a bit too superficial.
Thinking of this, he sent someone to tell Raldo that if he held on for one night, he could finish the work tomorrow.
Not only that, he also ordered people to go to various Dharma altars to preach, and they must stick to them tonight.
The rest was easy to talk about, except that he was worried about Cui Hongyu and Huang Ying, so while having dinner in the evening, Chen Xiaobei quietly left the altar to see his two wives.
Huang Ying and Cui Hongyu were very happy to see Chen Xiaobei coming.
Huang Ying took Chen Xiaobei's hand and said, "Brother Xiaobei, don't worry. I'll protect Sister Cui Hongyu. I guarantee there will be no problem."
Tian Chen Xiaobei nodded, "I'll add a charcoal brazier later. You guys have to work hard, just stick to it this night, and it will be over tomorrow!"
It's not that bad. Yang Zhi didn't spray the medicine yesterday. According to the strength of the medicine, it can last for up to three days.
Tomorrow will be the third day, so there probably won’t be any fish gathering.
After listening to Chen Xiaobei's words, Cui Hongyu smiled calmly and said, "Brother Xiaobei, don't worry, we can hold on for not just one day, but two or three days."
After a few words of comfort, Chen Xiaobei returned to his seat. After all, the altar was still functioning and he couldn't leave for too long.
But even so, Chen Xiaobei's every move was reported to Bai Han.
Leaving the altar to see Cui Hongyu and Huang Ying, Bai Han was a little confused. Should he report it to the emperor?
But it happened that Xiao An called him in at this time, "One day has passed, is there any movement over Chen Xiaobei's side?"
Bai Han hesitated for a moment, and finally said as he said, "When it gets dark, I went to the White Tiger Altar."
"It is said that the two women guarding the altar are his two wives."
Hearing this, Xiao An frowned and put his hands behind his back, turning back and forth twice.
"This matter is quite simple. I didn't expect Chen Xiaobei's two wives to be in Wannian City."
Upon hearing this, Bai Han instantly felt that he had said a bit too much.
But what surprised him a little was that Xiao An waved his hand to ask him to leave.
After Bai Han exited, Xiao An turned to a young eunuch standing next to him and said, "Xiao Dezi, do you know what to do next?"
The little eunuch bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know, little Dezi. Please make it clear."
"You've been with me for ten years, right?" Xiao An suddenly spoke slowly.
"Back to the emperor, ever since you saved me from hunting, I have been by your side for eleven years."
Xiao An nodded with satisfaction, "Since I brought you into the palace, I have never arranged for you to do anything, but today I hope you can help me settle this worry."
Xiao Dezi bowed and said, "Your Majesty, are you talking about Chen Xiaobei's two wives?"
Xiao An nodded, with a look of approval on his face, "Yes, I want to grant Liu Rumei a marriage, but Chen Xiaobei is already married, so this may cause trouble."
"I understand, I'll go down and prepare."
Xiao An nodded, "Be more agile with your hands and feet. I wonder if your skills have been wasted in the past ten years!"
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, if things go wrong, Xiao Dezi knows what to do!"
As soon as the third watch of the day passed, Wannian City became quiet. Except for the occasional patrol passing by, there was not a single pedestrian on the street.
A black shadow quietly appeared. Near the White Tiger Altar, still ten feet away, he stopped and hid in the darkness to observe carefully.
There was a charcoal brazier on the altar. Cui Hongyu and Huang Ying hid in the leeward corner, surrounded by the charcoal brazier, and fell asleep.
Fortunately, it is only the early winter, and a charcoal brazier is enough.
The defenders under the altar had already hid at the base of the wall in twos and threes.
Piles of bonfires are enough to keep them warm.
Having said that, who would believe that someone would be so bold as to destroy the altar right at the gate of the city.
The altar has three floors in total. Huang Ying and Cui Hongyu are guarding the third floor, with three tigers next to them.
Xiao Dezi quietly jumped up to the second floor. Although his movement was very light, it was enough to startle the three half-asleep tigers. After all, tigers' hearing is much more sensitive than humans.
The tiger shook restlessly, and this movement alerted the oriole.
Huang Ying opened her eyes slightly, and suddenly she had an intuition and uneasiness, which was a dangerous signal.
Before he could recover, a wisp of white smoke had already drifted over.
Oops.
Several thoughts flashed through Huang Ying's mind. She suddenly rolled over and came to Cui Hongyu. After picking up Cui Hongyu, she quietly withdrew about half a foot away. At this time, there was a sound of sharp blades cutting through the air in her ears.
.
Two flying knives came towards Cui Hongyu and were about to pierce into Cui Hongyu's body.
Huang Ying gritted her teeth and suddenly pushed Cui Hongyu into the thorn.
Cui Hongyu was pushed away, but Huang Ying was unable to dodge. There were two muffled sounds, and two flying knives pierced her chest.
Huang Ying shook her hand, and a few points of cold light shot out, hitting Xiao Dezi.
Xiao Dezi obviously did not expect that Huang Ying would react so quickly. He originally thought that the two flying knives would definitely kill both of them, but he did not expect that Huang Ying could be so self-sacrificing and push Cui Hongyu away.
In this moment of confusion, Huang Ying's flying needle came to his eyes, and Xiao Dezi couldn't dodge it. With an oops, he was hit by a needle in his eye, which hurt him so much that he covered his eyes and squatted down.
At this moment, the three tigers almost rushed over together, opening their huge mouths and biting Xiao Dezi.
Poor little Dezi, before he could recover, the tiger snapped his neck.
The smell of blood further stimulated the tiger's ferocity. It surrounded Xiao Dezi and gnawed wildly for a while, and soon he was no longer human.
