At the beginning, I gave up my military power with a cup of wine, and I ascended the throne

Chapter 56: Miss Xie's Cold Reception in Xiliang
Xiliang Governor's Mansion, inside the prison.

The toothless groom Lao Mu is taking care of the seriously injured young marquis.

The white robe was covered in shocking bloodstains.

"Old Mu, why are you crying?"

He smiled miserably: "This prince is not dead yet, I will remember this grudge."

"Don't be afraid, Xiao Manzi doesn't dare to kill me."

“It’s all my fault.”

Old Mu shook his head: "If I had advised you at the beginning, you wouldn't have suffered this hardship."

Xie An wanted to turn over, but the licorice tore the scabbed wound, causing blood to spurt out. He gasped in pain and his face twitched.

"Damn you Xiao Manzi."

Xie An cursed weakly.

"Still able to speak."

"It seems that we haven't fought enough yet."

Two soldiers came over and said sinisterly, "Take him out and continue fighting."

"Can't fight."

"If you fight again, someone will die."

Lao Mu begged: "General, if you want to hit me, hit me. I will take the punishment for him."

"Go away."

The soldier pushed Old Mu away and dragged the young marquis out of the cell.

Soon the sound of whipping was heard.

Old Mu gritted his teeth, trying to mobilize his inner strength to break free from the shackles.

But just as he was trying to use his strength, an invisible finger force penetrated into his body.

The condensed internal force collapsed instantly.

Outside the cell.

Xiao Han withdrew his finger, followed by Xueying and Dayueer.

Lao Mu recognized Xiao Han and said hurriedly, "Mr. Xiao, it's me, Lao Mu, the groom of the Marquis' Mansion."

"We have met before."

"nonsense."

Dayue'er sneered: "How could my master know a spy from the grassland like you?"

"Why don't I remember there is someone like you in the Marquis' Mansion?"

Xiao Han looked at Lao Mu, pretending to be confused.

"Sir, the young marquis has offended you before. You are a magnanimous person. Don't take it personally."

Old Mu begged for mercy: "If you keep beating me like this, the young marquis won't be able to bear it."

It’s less than a cup of tea.

Two soldiers dragged the unconscious Xie An back.

Xiao Han just glanced at it casually and then looked away.

"Sir, this kid is no good. He fainted after being whipped a few times."

The soldier spoke.

"Forget it, I'll pull it out and fight it tomorrow."

He waved his hand, turned around and left the prison with Xueying and the other two.

a few days later.

He was training the soldiers of the Shence Army outside the city when a guard from the Governor's Mansion came to report that the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei, Xie Wan'er, had arrived.

"understood."

He responded with a few words and continued to train his soldiers.

In the governor's mansion.

Xie Wan'er had a cold face and murderous eyes as she sat in the lobby, accompanied by two teams of guards brought from Jizhou.

Several servants from the mansion stood in the distance without saying a word, with their heads lowered.

"Where is Xiao Han?"

for a long time.

She was getting a little impatient waiting: "Let him come out to see me."

"This slave doesn't know."

The maid replied fearfully.

"laugh."

The long sword was unsheathed, Xie Wan'er held the long sword and put it on the maid's neck with a cold look in her eyes.

"Tell me, where is Xiao Han?"

"I really don't know."

The maid was still shaking her head.

"Dengdengdeng."

The soldiers in the governor's mansion rushed into the courtyard and surrounded the hall, with shields and armor in front, swords and spears in the back, and powerful bows and crossbows in the distance.

"Protect the young lady."

Seeing this, the guards of Jizhou all drew their swords. "Thank you, Miss."

Miaoyu came from a distance and whispered, "Killing a maid from the governor's mansion doesn't make me feel better."

"But all the guards you brought with you must lose their heads."

"It's you."

Xie Wan'er looked at her with a serious expression.

"Is this how Xiao Han trains his servants? A mere slave girl doesn't even kneel down to show respect when she sees me, young lady."

Xie Waner shouted: "Kneel down."

Miaoyu seemed not to hear it, and the guards in the mansion did not react either, but their eyes became more ferocious.

"This is Xiliang, not Jizhou, and certainly not a place for a young lady to act crazy."

Miaoyu still had a smile on her face.

Xie Wan'er's chest heaved with anger, the long knife in her hand was ice-cold, and the maid trembled, but she did not chop down with the knife.

"laugh."

She sheathed her long sword, looked gloomy, and sat on the chair without saying a word.

"The young master is training his soldiers in the camp outside the city. I'm afraid he won't be back until later."

Miaoyu said, "Xiliang is bitterly cold, and military affairs are busy. Miss is just enjoying her leisure time in Jizhou, and may not know the hard work in the army."

"Where is my little brother imprisoned?"

for a long time.

Xie Waner spoke.

"A fake young marquis?"

Miaoyu asked.

"Ah."

Xie Wan'er nodded.

"Inside Xiliang Prison, but no one can see him without your warrant."

She shook her head.

"I want to see who dares to stop me."

Xie Wan'er stood up and said, "Let's go to the prison."

"Stop."

The Xiliang soldiers outside the hall shouted loudly, and instead of giving way, they pressed forward with swords and shields.

"Miss, in order to ensure your safety, you cannot leave the Governor's Mansion for the time being."

Miaoyu spoke.

Xie Wan'er once again felt the domineering nature of that man's behavior. He really didn't give her, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei, any face at all.

"Everything will have to wait until you come back."

After leaving these words, Miaoyu left.

The soldiers outside the hall put away their swords and spears and surrounded the entire hall.

The sun is setting in the west.

The last rays of light slowly faded from the earth, and the sky quickly darkened.

"What are you doing?"

Xiao Han, who arrived late, stepped into the courtyard and scolded the soldiers in the mansion in a pretentious manner: "Don't you want to die? Do you know who she is? Miss Zhenbei Hou, you dare to stop me, get out of here quickly."

Those soldiers retreated immediately.

"After half a year of absence, Governor Xiao has become even more powerful."

Xie Wan'er sneered, "The servants in my family dared to use weapons against me. If you don't know, you would think that the king of the northern border is surnamed Xiao."

"The young lady is joking."

Xiao Han smiled wryly: "My subordinates have been fighting in the northern border for many years, and the young lady has lived in Jizhou for a long time. It is normal for them not to recognize her."

"It may also be that the eldest lady is too majestic. Those useless guys have never seen such a big scene when they met the Marquis before, so they didn't react for a while."

They were poking at Xie Wan'er's spine in both open and covert ways.

You are a rich lady, how can you show off in front of the soldiers who fought for Ji You?

Even Xie Xuanli, the Marquis of Zhenbei, is not as arrogant as you.

Xie Wan'er was so angry that she almost bit her teeth off. She was so mad at herself but couldn't show it.

"how?"

Xiao Han sat down by himself, glanced at the Jizhou guards, and snorted coldly: "Don't you recognize me?"

"Meet General Xiao."

The guards all bowed and put away their swords.

"Without further ado."

Xie Wan'er's face darkened: "Hand over Xie An quickly."

"What little marquis?"

Xiao Han shook his head: "I only have a grassland spy here disguised as a fake young marquis."

"You know whether it is true or not."

Xie Wan'er was so angry that her teeth were itching.
