Quick Travel: The beginning is Shura Field

Chapter 1521: Vicious and domineering (28)

When Xiao Ye became suspicious of Zhuihun's identity today, he guessed that Wen Shu was most likely captured by Zhuihun's men, so he visited her overnight to find Wen Shu's whereabouts.

"You'd better tell me, otherwise if something happens to her, we'll all be in trouble."

"Your Highness can rest assured. The young general is safe now. As long as Your Highness abides by his duties and does not threaten me, the young general will always be safe."

"Once I achieve my goal, I will naturally let the young general return."

Thinking of Dai Ke's character, Xiao Ye found it hard to believe Zhui Hun's words. After all, like master, like subordinate. "I need to see her, otherwise I can't be sure of her safety."

"Your Highness does not have the capital to negotiate terms with this humble minister."

Wen Shu's life is now in Zhuihun's hands. If he threatens her forcefully, it is likely to put Wen Shu in danger.

"What do you need from me?"

"Your Highness, just work hard to climb up. If you need anything, I will ask for your help."

Xiao Ye stood up angrily, and suddenly remembered something: "What did you mean when you said Dai Ke was coming soon?"

"Your Highness will know."

Xiao Ye was too lazy to play guessing games with Zhuihun anymore, so he turned around and left the house.

Zi Yi came out from behind the screen and said, "Why didn't you tell him that we were sent by His Highness to help him?"

"What Prince Xiao needs now is motivation to climb up the ladder, and hatred towards Your Highness is a good motivation."

"Aren't you afraid that he will misunderstand Your Highness even more?" Zhuihun thought carefully: "When we were in Chaotian Kingdom, Your Highness secretly helped him suppress it openly. I just followed Your Highness's habits. Besides, I will send a message to Your Highness about this matter. It is up to Your Highness to decide whether to explain it or not."

"We just need to do our part."

Zi Yi yawned, feeling very sleepy: "Now that everyone has left, you should leave as well."

Without waiting for Zhuihun to say anything, Ziyi blasted him out.

In just over a month, Xiao Ye's frequent achievements earned him promotion from the eighth-rank deputy captain to the fourth-rank lieutenant general.

At the same time, he also obtained the privilege of participating in politics which was announced to the public.

With the position of commanding the troops and being able to enter the imperial study and participate in government affairs, even if he was not made the crown prince, everyone had already tacitly acknowledged his status as the crown prince.

After all, among the princes who can be given the privilege of participating in politics, only the crown prince can have this treatment.

For a time, Xiao Ye's name was the most famous.

In the imperial study, the emperor asked the ceremonial officer, "How are the preparations for the welcoming banquet going?"

"Your Majesty, everything has been prepared and the invitations have been sent to the homes of the young men from the noble families who are suitable for marriage."

The emperor instructed: "Now Dai Ke is already the Grand Princess, and she is in charge of 800,000 troops, so this banquet must be held in a grand manner."

"In addition, the appearance of those young masters from aristocratic families must pass the test. This marriage must be successful no matter what, and Dai Ke must be kept in Shengguo!"

Dai Ke has an army of 800,000 under his command. If he leaves Dai Ke behind, he won't need to resort to any tricks to deal with the Duke of Zhenguo. He only needs to use the military power in Dai Ke's hands to completely kill the Duke of Zhenguo.

It has been more than a month since Wen Shu disappeared, and the Duke of Zhenguo in the Northern Territory must have received the news. The Duke of Zhenguo cannot return to the capital now because of the imperial order. Who knows if he will suddenly return to the capital? If the Duke of Zhenguo returns, he will be in great danger.

"I understand. I will carefully check the appearance of these noble families."

"Yes, let the Ministry of Internal Affairs prepare a set of clothes for each prince who is of marriageable age, and make sure that the princes are dressed in their best attire."

"Yes!"

Xiao Ye extracted key words from the conversation between the two and pieced together what had happened.

Dai Ke is coming to Shengguo to choose a marriage partner?

As soon as the ceremonial officer left, Xiao Ye put down the memorial in his hand and said, "Father, His Majesty Dai... His Highness Dai is coming to Sheng Country?"

The emperor looked at Xiao Ye, sizing him up.

Xiao Ye's appearance is one of the best in Sheng State. If he hadn't heard that Xiao Ye was bullied and abused by Dai Ke before, and thought that Dai Ke must hate Xiao Ye, the emperor really wanted Xiao Ye to use the beauty trap. After all, keeping Dai Ke in the royal family is more reassuring than keeping him in a noble family.

"Last month, Chaotian Kingdom sent a visiting card to express the friendship between the two countries and to invite the princess to Sheng Kingdom to choose a marriage partner."

"According to the timetable, the princess has already entered the territory of Sheng Kingdom. She will be able to reach the capital in less than half a month."

Xiao Ye's heart trembled for a moment when he received the emperor's affirmative answer.

Is Dai Ke really coming to form a marriage alliance?

Thinking of Dai Ke's attitude towards him, no matter what, he would not be the marriage partner.

When he thought about Dai Ke marrying someone else, he almost couldn't keep the expression on his face: "Then should I also make some preparations?"

Although Dai Ke bullied Xiao Ye in the past, what if Xiao Ye could be favored by Dai Ke?

Thinking about it, the emperor arranged: "Have someone send a few sets of gorgeous clothes to Jingze Palace later, so that you can dress more energetically on the day of the banquet." "Your son has made a note of it."

After leaving the imperial study, Xiao Ye went straight to find Zhuihun.

He slapped his rough palm on the table: "Why did Dai Ke come to the marriage?"

Zhuihun drank his tea calmly: "When His Highness comes, you can go ask His Highness directly, Prince Xiao."

"When will she arrive?"

"I don't know."

"You can't possibly not know how long she's been here and where she is now. I want to see her!"

"It will only take a few days. Prince Xiao is now the crown prince. Don't be so impatient. Just wait patiently."

However, Dai Ke, who arrived half a month later, showed up in a house in the capital.

"I need to rest, you guys have to keep an eye on me too?"

Wen Shu looked at the two female secret guards in black clothes in front of her and her temper gradually became irritable.

"Why are you staring at me every day? Can I run away?"

However, the other party did not answer Wen Shu, but just stared at her intently. Even when Wen Shu went to the toilet, they would follow her closely.

She has been under surveillance for more than a month and couldn't step out of the house. She was imprisoned like a prisoner, which is very infuriating.

When Wen Shu wanted to take action, the secret guard immediately drew his sword.

"Don't be rude to Major General Wen."

A light and bright voice entered her ears, and Wen Shu looked towards the door.

A girl in a dress as bright as fire appeared in Wen Shu's sight.

The pair of bright peach blossom eyes were curved, with a kind of intimacy and gentleness, but also like the dark vortex of a dormant venomous snake, and if you are not careful, you will sink into her calculations. Wen Shu had also seen this kind of look in Xiao Liangci's eyes.

It can be said that these two people are of the same type, kind on the surface, but cruel on the inside.

The two secret guards put away their swords and saluted respectfully: "Subordinates greet the master!"

Dai Ke raised his hand, and the two secret guards left the room and the door closed.

"Major General Wen, long time no see."

Wen Shu stared at Dai Ke: "Let them let me go!"

Dai Ke walked to the table and sat down, pouring two cups of tea: "Major General Wen, don't be so anxious, sit down and talk."

Wen Shu looked at Dai Ke's impeccable smile and always had the urge to tear her hypocrisy apart.

"I have already discussed with Xiao Ye that I will disappear temporarily to allow him to gain the emperor's trust. Before he becomes the crown prince, I will not appear to disrupt his promotion, so you don't need to send someone to keep an eye on me."
