Quick Wear: Welcome to the Crazy Scene

Chapter 196 The King’s Sacrifice (20)

Xiao Jiangran's scalp tingled. While trying to stop Luo Shou and Shen Jin, he subconsciously hugged Shen Jin and turned his back to Luo Shou.

A completely defensive posture.

Relatively speaking, Shen Jin is more aggressive at the moment. With him blocking the way, if a fight really breaks out, they can hold off the attack for a while.

Moreover, he heard the deepest suppressed fear and trembling in Shen Jin's questioning.

Shen Jin was scared.

What would she be afraid of?

"Ajin, calm down." Xiao Jiangran leaned close to her ear and said.

"Here is our mission."

His breath tickled her earlobes. Shen Jin tried to hold back, but couldn't help it and pushed his head away.

In the end, I lost all my strength.

Facing Xiao Jiangran's feigned hurt attitude, she spread her hands innocently, indicating that she had stopped and the current situation had nothing to do with her.

After comforting the people here, Xiao Jiangran turned around and looked at Luo Shou across the table.

"His Majesty."

"The remnants of the Western Dynasty you've been thinking about have invaded."

Shen Jin rolled his eyes at him and waved his hand to disperse the barrier. He looked like he was surrendering without any struggle.

But, he still spoke with full fighting spirit.

"Hmph, you idiot who loses control so easily."

The tip of the iron sword was against Shen Jin's neck, but she still did not avoid or retreat, staring at the two people in front of her looking at each other.

Luo Shou's distraction was only a moment to her.

When he heard the word "remnant", he subconsciously looked for Shen Jin, and saw the enemy high priest who was surrounded by her armored army and looked particularly vulnerable and helpless.

Luo Shou: ...

Even more unhappy.

How could Shen Jin be surrounded and held in a vital position so easily?

"Everyone, stand down."

This was her first instruction.

The soldiers were still hesitating, after all, the man being surrounded was the legendary remnant high priest.

She is still alone.

There would be no better opportunity to kill her than tonight.

"Get lost, can't you hear me?"

Luo Shou suddenly slammed the table and threw the cinnabar pen at hand, knocking down the iron sword that was on Shen Jin's neck.

"Get out! I don't want to hear anything about tonight from anyone."

The armored soldiers were horrified and met Luo Shou's cold eyes in panic. They all knelt down and saluted, then ran out of the hall.

Shen Jin sneered sarcastically again.

Luo Shou looked at Shen Jin with a serious look: "I will kill you openly. With your blood, I will lay the foundation for the eternal peace of my Daluo."

Shen Jin retracted his smile.

"just you?"

"Why not hope that I will show some mercy and allow you to witness the demise of the Luo Dynasty with your own eyes?"

The harsh words were spoken too quickly, but Xiao Jiangran still stood between the two of them, looking extremely eye-catching.

Although she didn't care about Xiao Jiangran's choice, she was confident of her victory.

But if he really helped Luo Shou...

Shen Jin felt that it was still a bit troublesome.

At least, she didn't want to see the two people's goals conflicting.

The same goes for Luo Shou.

She found a reason in her mind: If the Grand Marshal of Luo Chao defected to the enemy, wouldn't that be stepping on her face?

"My Marshal, do you know what you are going to do?"

"Marshal Xiao...see you next time."

Two sentences sounded at the same time.

Luo Shou emphasized Xiao Jiangran's current identity, while Shen Jin revealed Xiao Jiangran's last name which had been concealed for a long time. This made the two kings and ministers suspicious for a long time.

Since it is impossible to get him to stand on his side, it is also a good idea to let Luo Shou suspect him.

After all, no one understood what Luo Shou was thinking better than her.

Shen Jin stretched out the pronunciation of the word "Xiao" and smiled with a familiar look, just like meeting an old friend again.

"see you later."

After finishing everything, Shen Jin left gracefully.

Xiao Jiangran: ...

There are times when I really don’t want to see you.

Before the expedition, Luo Shou was still suspicious of his intentions and stance. He had finally submitted his report card, but now Shen Jin's words about Marshal Xiao completely disrupted his plans.

What would Luo Shou think?

Xiao Jiangran's mind was a little confused, and he had an inexplicable illusion of betrayal. Clearly, they were the same person!

"Oh, Marshal Xiao?"

As expected, Luo Shou's face had completely darkened, and his tone was sinister: "I didn't know that my Grand Marshal's surname was Xiao."

Xiao Jiangran: ...

"Your Majesty, there are reasons for this, but I..."

Luo Shou raised his hand and signaled Xiao Jiangran to shut up.

"Are you so guilty as to call me Your Majesty?"

"It seems the Marshal doesn't trust me either."

Luo Shou picked up the pen and wrote something on the table.

Xiao Jiangran made a prompt decision and knelt on one knee: "Your Highness, will you forgive me for hiding my real name?"

No matter who the Shen Jin is, a head-on confrontation will only lead to a more miserable defeat.

I don’t know why, but after saying this, Xiao Jiangran felt a cold wind blowing behind him.

Luo Shou's mood improved a lot.

"Before you set out on the expedition, I promised you something. Do you remember?"

Luo Shou didn't give Xiao Jiangran time to answer. She stood up, walked in front of Xiao Jiangran and squatted down.

"I said that the period is six months. If you come back one day earlier, I will drive away everyone in Qi Guang Palace."

Luo Shou raised his chin and said, "Let me calculate. Marshal, you've driven away quite a lot."

This matter was indeed very important. Xiao Jiangran naturally hoped that Luo Shou didn't have a harem. However, once he became emperor, the people in the harem were also bargaining chips in government affairs. Naturally, he couldn't interfere much before he had grown strong and gained influence.

That was the so-called promise.

However, Xiao Jiangran's tone was dark and inexplicable: "Your Highness placed the person outside Qi Guang Palace, who can I chase away?"

After she became emperor, the chief servants of each palace in the harem were almost fully staffed, which showed that it was a huge and long-term project. He now had a half-baked army under his command, so naturally he did not have the power to speak in the government, and he would not touch her harem at will.

What if her pattern is messed up?

When Luo Shou heard this, he turned around and left on the spot.

Xiao Jiangran was just forgotten in Qi Guang Palace.

"Since the Marshal likes this place, then he can live here forever."

Xiao Jiangran stood up and brushed off the dust on his robe.

It seems that Luo Shou is planning to put himself under house arrest and not interfere between the two of them.

"It's a bit troublesome."

Xiao Jiangran once again recalled his 100% exploration value. It couldn't be that there were no clues at all, and the 100% value was just empty talk.

Thinking about it, I sat down anywhere, took a pen and paper from the table, and started taking notes.

Luo Shou gave up his bedroom and calmed down when he looked up at the bright moon.

Forgot to ask his name.

Forget it, so what if he is called Shen Huang in her place?

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and white petals fall all over the ground.

"What is he doing?"

She did not mention anyone by name, but the shadow guards behind her knew that she was talking about the marshal who was under house arrest in Qi Guang Palace.

"Your Majesty, he..."

"He is the marshal of my Luo Dynasty."

"Yes." The shadow guard said: "Marshal Shen is kneeling on the ground, mumbling to a piece of white paper, as if..."

It seems abnormal.

He paused, then continued, "It's like he's reviewing information."

"Let him go. We will do our best to satisfy the Marshal's requests. But there's only one thing: don't let him leave Qiguang Palace. Otherwise, you will bring your heads to me."
