Exile opening: I won with the Universal Maker

Chapter 178

"Xiao Zhuo, you really don't agree to help us?"

In a private room in the front yard of Jingxinyuan, Mei Pu turned around abruptly, looking directly at Xiao Zhuo who was sitting opposite him with his eyes behind the mask.

After the banquet, Shen Yuexi said that she wanted to go to Yongwei City to relax alone, and left Xiao Zhuo alone.Xiliang Wang Meicheng and Mei Pu sent Xiao Zhuo back to Jingxin Garden together.

The King of Xiliang hoped that Xiao Zhuo would lead his troops to attack Zhangwu City, which was occupied by Xirong, but after some communication with Xiao Zhuo, it was fruitless.Now for Maple.

Meipu also couldn't speak to Xiao Zhuo, originally he was sitting and talking, but now he stood up anxiously.

"Forgive me." Xiao Zhuo put down the teacup in his hand, and shook his head slowly.

"Why, aren't we friends? Even if you refuse to agree to the king's request, I can't even talk to you." The Xiliang cavalry came to rescue you because I regard you as a friend."

"I know all of this," Xiao Zhuo said with downcast eyes, "If it weren't for your Xiliang cavalry, I might not be able to withstand Xirong's attack. Thank you, I..."

Meipu raised his hand to stop Xiao Zhuo from continuing: "Stop talking. I just said that I treated you as a friend to save you. Now I need your help, so don't just move your mouth."

"I have an agreement with King Doma, you know that."

"Screw his agreement," Maple waved his hands irritably, "Our two cities are still in the hands of the Xirong people, yet you are here to make an agreement with me?"

"I can't go against what I've said." Xiao Zhuo raised his eyes, "I'm the Prince of Yan, not a commoner. How can I convince the public if I don't believe my words?"

"Even if I am your cousin-in-law, won't you help?"

"I...can't break my oath," Xiao Zhuo hesitated and said, "I know what you think. I think it's best not to consider attacking Xirong in Xiliang this year. The most important thing is to recuperate. Recruiting troops is the most important thing. Since Xirong doesn't Attacked, why go to provoke them?"

"You asked me to wait. I want to wait too," Maple sighed, "but my father can't wait. He can't even wait for my wedding. His mind is now only thinking about defeating Xirong , to restore dignity."

After finishing speaking, Maple sat down on the chair slumped, "You don't know my difficulties."

Xiao Zhuo looked at him with complicated eyes, and said softly: "Your sister, Concubine Xian, will also send envoys to celebrate your wedding, right?"

"Why did you mention her suddenly?" Maple looked at Xiao Zhuo inquiringly.

Xiao Zhuo calmly picked up the teapot and poured him a cup of tea: "It's nothing, I just thought that she is far away in the capital, so she should contact you often. She also knows about the wedding?"

"Well, that's it." Mei Pu's eyes flickered for a moment, and he stood up as if avoiding something, "I'm going to discuss the next thing with my father."

After speaking, Maple was about to go out when a servant's panicked voice came from far outside the door.

"His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness, it's not good."

"Why are you so panicked?" Maple opened the door and shouted to the servants who were running towards him.

The servant was out of breath, and pointed in the direction of the Xiliang Palace: "Li...Miss Li is gone!"

"Missing?" Mei Pu glanced back at Xiao Zhuo, and said to the servant, "Where is the father?"

"The prince has rushed back."

Maple said to his servants, "Get your horse ready."

Xiao Zhuo also stood up and followed behind Maple and said, "I'll go and have a look too."

The two galloped back to Xiliang Palace on fast horses, and came to the backyard where Li Wan was.Xiliang Wang Meicheng was followed by a group of advisers, who were reprimanding the guard maids.

There were several maids, all standing in a row with their heads down trembling.

"There are so many of you, but you can't even look down on Li Wan!" Mei Cheng stretched out her finger and pointed at each of them, "If something happens to Miss Li, don't even think about it."

Xiao Zhuo took a step forward and said: "My lord, calm down, why did Miss Li disappear?"

"She...she dug a hole." A maid said with tears, "My lord, it's really not that we didn't work hard, who knew she would actually dig a hole."

The words were full of bewilderment and grievance.

"How is it possible," Maple reprimanded the maid, "How can she have such great strength, men may not be able to do it."

"It's true, Your Royal Highness, you and the prince came to see."

The maid led the way and came to the backyard. The maid pointed to a cave hidden behind the rockery that was big enough for an adult to enter and exit, and said, "My lord, Your Highness, this is the cave."

Meipu took a step forward, knelt down to watch for a while, and said to the maid, "Where does this hole lead to?"

The maid replied: "We sent people in to check as soon as we found out. The cave only leads to the back streets and alleys outside the wall. There are seven or eight shovel manuscripts thrown around the entrance of the cave."

Xiao Zhuo glanced at the cave, and said to Maple: "This was dug by many people. Does Auntie know about it?"

Mei Pu said: "Mrs. Li and Miss Li have had a quarrel. They have been staying behind closed doors for a few days. I have been rejected several times. Maybe Miss Li went to find her."

Mei Cheng came over and said: "The king has sent someone to invite Mrs. Li. She..."

While talking, another servant ran over holding a piece of paper: "My lord, Your Royal Highness. Mrs. Li is also missing. The villain found this on the table in her room."

When the servants came close, Mei Cheng grabbed the paper and watched it.

Xiao Zhuo and Mei Pu also stepped forward to watch.

It is a map of tunnel excavation, and the location is exactly the backstreets and alleys of the Xiliang Prince's Mansion...

Everyone, look at me, and I look at you.

It turned out that Mrs. Li planned to dig the hole.She probably hired a lot of people to dig in from the outside.

Mei Cheng was so angry that his robe sleeves trembled: "It's just nonsense. The invitations have been sent out, but the in-laws ran away with the bride. It's just... let outsiders see the jokes of our Mei family!"

All the counselors looked at each other in blank dismay, this matter was outrageous.Mrs. Li's mother and daughter co-authored Pangolin Possession.

"It's no wonder Mrs. Li hasn't gone out for so many days. It turns out that she's secretly planning this matter." Mei Pu handed the paper to Xiao Zhuo. "She is Miss Li's mother and your aunt. What do you think?"

……

"Crown princess, I don't know if I should say something or not?"

In the swaying carriage, Doctor Hua looked at Shen Yuexi sitting across from him who was puffed up with anger, and said with a smile.

"Doctor Hua, I know what you want to say," Shen Yuexi pouted, "I just won't go back. When I think of those ten women in Jingxinyuan, I'm not happy."

It is unbearable for a man to flirt with women.She simply left to see how Xiao Zhuo would deal with it.

She said before that if Xiao Zhuo couldn't treat her wholeheartedly, she would ignore him.

This man actually dared to accept these beauties, it was obvious that he was tempted.

"Prince Concubine, if His Royal Highness refuses to accept him, he will not show face to the King of Xiliang," Doctor Hua earnestly taught, "He can't take away his kindness on that occasion."

At this time, the carriage had already left Yongwei, heading towards Jingzhou.This carriage is pulled by eight horses, it is extra spacious and comfortable compared to ordinary carriages, it was originally used by Mei Dai, and it has been parked at the gate of Jingxin Garden.Since Xiliang Wang Meicheng presented Jingxin Garden to Xiao Zhuo, this carriage was naturally included.

"Good intentions, hum." Shen Yuexi stomped her foot on the floor of the carriage, and said with a "bang", "Doctor Hua, don't speak nice words for that man, I..."

Although she was angry, she just wanted to take this opportunity to find that Jia hunter.Doctor Hua is proficient in medical skills, so bring it.By the way, let's see if Xiao Zhuo stays in Jingxinyuan to guard the ten beauties or comes to look for her.

It was a test for Xiao Zhuo.

Before she could speak, a voice suddenly came from under the floor:

"Oh, this shock..." It was Mrs. Li's voice, followed by a cough. "The soil is down to the neck."

"Mother, are you alright?" Li Wan's voice sounded again.

Shen Yuexi was startled, squatted down quickly, and lifted the floor together with Doctor Hua.

The floor of the carriage was originally used to store items, but it turned out that two large living people were hiding inside.

"You..." Shen Yuexi was startled.

"Isn't that hissing...to escape. I'm afraid the city gate won't let you in." Mrs. Li finally sat down on her seat, took a long breath, and quickly picked up the tea on the table to drink.

Even if the old lady risked her life, she couldn't let her daughter marry Maple.

After Shen Yuexi asked why Li Wan didn't want to marry Mei Pu, she stared angrily and said, "Yes, it's right not to marry."

A man who doesn't love her at all, but just uses her, why marry him.
