Chapter 188 Showdown
Yuntian pushed He Jingheng and stood far away.
"Prince, there are so many tigers hidden in our mansion, and I have never discovered them." When Xiaobai appeared in the yard just now, he felt his head buzzing.
This is a tiger! Not a mouse!
These guys with such big bodies are not just one person. Where did they come from?
Are all these secret guards blind?
There were so many tigers, but I didn’t even notice them!
When the snow bandits came before, Shang Ruoyi released Xiaobai. The secret guards in the mansion were almost scared to death and fell into deep self-doubt. Have they been blind all these days? Where did this white tiger come from?
They had just accepted the fact that their Crown Prince's Consort had raised a white tiger, but tonight they were shocked again.
The Crown Prince's Consort actually raised a group of tigers!
There must be something wrong with their eyes, otherwise how could they not even know where these tigers came from?
He Jingheng was also quite surprised that these tigers appeared out of thin air.
He remembered that Shang Ruoyi brought them into the dense forest, so how could they appear from the He Mansion?
"Master, is there a secret passage?"
maybe!
He Jingheng smiled and said, "It doesn't matter where it appears from."
Yuntian stood behind him and curled his lips silently.
Master, it doesn't matter to you, the tigers won't bite you. Even if they do, with your skills, you can at least dodge them without any problem, not to mention killing them. But they can't!
He had seen the speed of the white tiger. If he was targeted by it, he would be either dead or crippled.
They walked into the yard. Yuntian was just about to say that he would prepare some fresh meat for the tigers to eat when he saw Shang Ruoyi holding a basin in her hand. The basin was filled with fruits that she had picked from the greenhouse earlier.
Tiger, eat fruit?
Don’t tigers eat meat?
As expected of the Crown Prince's Consort! The tigers she raises are so unique.
Shang Ruoyi patted Xiaobai's head, and Xiaobai growled, and the tigers obediently dispersed around the house.
Yuntian's jaw almost dropped when he saw this scene.
They actually obey orders and guard the yard!
Even the guarding position happened to be a blind spot for the secret guards.
Amazing! The tiger raised by the Crown Prince’s wife is amazing!
"What do you want to do with Zhao Gang?" Shang Ruoyi said calmly, "I really don't know what the court was thinking. They actually sent such a waste to guard this place."
Although this is a place of exile, it is also a border. If the soldiers defending the city are weak, won’t the city be lost soon?
"Don't worry, I have my own arrangements."
When Zhao Gang returned to the city defense office, his body was already soaked with sweat. He tremblingly took off his clothes, only to find that he had wet his pants out of fright.
"How could there be a tiger? How could there be a tiger in this desolate mountain and wilderness?" he muttered to himself.
At this moment, a yamen runner came in with a basin of water: "Sir, please wash yourself!"
"Did you get the topographic map of the He family?"
"Sir, the He family's defense is like an iron barrel. Our people can't get in at all."
I had thought of finding an opportunity to investigate today, but I didn't expect that I couldn't even get through the gate.
"Waste!" he shouted angrily. "A bunch of waste!"
Upon hearing this, the bailiff lowered his head, with a hint of disdain in his eyes, but Zhao Gang did not notice.
We are all trash, aren't you?
I don’t know who peed his pants in public today.
"We must get the He family's blueprints, and find out where Miss He's room is." He said with a little fatigue in his voice: "Go down!"
When the bailiff closed the door, he couldn't help but spit. What the hell?
Since he took office, he has been treating these yamen runners as slaves. Now he is even thinking about doing something to the young lady of the He family. He does not even look at his own moral character. Isn't this a typical case of a toad wanting to eat swan flesh?
What about the face?
He rolled his eyes and walked towards the He family under the cover of night.
Shang Ruoyi was just about to take a rest when she heard Yuntian's voice coming from outside the door.
"Princess, there is a yamen runner who wants to see you."
Yamen runner?
He Jingheng sat on the couch, a hint of anger flashing across his brows.
It's late at night, do the people in the government have nothing to do?
Shang Ruoyi opened the door and asked, "Which bailiff?"
How could Yuntian dare to look around? He lowered his head and said, "The yamen runner who came with Zhao Gang today is called Li Si."
"What's the matter?"
"He didn't say anything, he just begged to see you."
He Jingheng put down the book in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Let him go."
Yuntian knew that his master was angry. Just as he was about to leave, he heard the Crown Prince's wife say, "Wait." She turned her head and looked at He Jingheng, "What should we do if something happens?"
"What should we do? We can just destroy the city defense department. Why go through so much trouble?"
He Jingheng’s words made Yuntian’s eyes light up.
It has been a long time since the Ding Kingdom's palace had fought on the battlefield with real weapons, and the brothers were all itching to do something.
"What are you going to do?" Shang Ruoyi glared at him and said, "Even if you go, you can't use the name of Dingguo Palace."
Wouldn't that really justify the charge of treason?
Thinking of this, Shang Ruoyi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. She suddenly raised her head and looked at He Jingheng, only to see that he also had a serious look in his eyes, which showed that they were thinking the same thing.
The imperial court sent people like Zhao Gang to the place of exile and to guard the border, perhaps intentionally, in order to provoke He Jingheng, force him to take action, and convict him of treason. When the time comes, the army will arrive and directly kill him in the place of exile.
"Isn't Emperor Tianshun afraid that you will surrender to the enemy? This place is not far from the Western Regions."
He Jingheng smiled and said, "No."
"what?"
"People from Dingguo Palace will never surrender to the enemy and sell out their country." He sneered even more: "It is precisely because he knows this that he is so unscrupulous, but he is wrong about one thing."
"what?"
"The Ding Palace will not surrender to the enemy and sell out the country, but it has never said that it will not overthrow the court and establish a new ruler."
Shang Ruoyi's heart skipped a beat. It was just as she thought.
Since the beginning of her exile, she knew that He Jingheng was playing a game of chess, a big game, and today he finally laid this game out in the open.
He wanted to establish a new master.
Shang Ruoyi nodded: "I'll go see what the bailiff says."
She put on her robe and went to the outer room.
When the bailiff saw her coming, he bowed hurriedly.
"My humble servant, Li Si, greets the Crown Prince's wife."
"Where is the Crown Prince's Consort here? Don't talk nonsense." Shang Ruoyi sat in the main seat and said so, but her behavior was indeed more noble than that of the Crown Prince's Consort: "You came here so late, is there something important? Could it be that Lord Zhao has another order?"
"No, no, no, I came here today to surrender."
