Chapter 901 The Mystery of Xiao Yu’s Identity
The secret guard appeared, "Master Xiao, are you okay?"
Xiao Yu muttered, "It's okay. Xiao Shang just ran away again. I didn't see how he ran. It was weird, really weird."
"What did Lord Xiao say?" the secret guard continued, "We didn't see anyone other than Lord Xiao. What do you mean by weird?"
Xiao Yu looked at the arrow that fell on the ground and said, "You didn't see anyone, didn't you shoot the arrow?"
The secret guard shook his head. "It wasn't us. We rushed over after receiving the signal flare sent by Lord Xiao. We only heard a man's voice, but didn't see anyone. Does Lord Xiao know how many people are on the other side?"
Xiao Yu frowned, "There's only one person."
He added, "There should be more than one person. He doesn't dare to take the risk. I'm not sure how many people there are."
"Lord Xiao, there is no need to be surprised. It was the people I brought with me who shot the hidden arrows because I saw some people from Beixiao trying to murder Lord Xiao." Jiang Fenghua appeared in front of everyone with his men.
Xiao Yu and the secret guards bowed simultaneously, "Your humble servant greets Her Majesty the Queen."
"No need for formalities." Jiang Fenghua said in a deep voice.
Jiang Fenghua then turned to the secret guards and said, "Didn't you see anyone in the alley just now?"
The secret guard shook his head: "No."
Jiang Fenghua felt strange. How did Xiao Shang manage to avoid being seen? She thought of the night Zhang Yurou was killed and the scene of Zhang Yurou dying in front of her.
At that time, she didn't see anyone, only a very thin steel wire. Could it be that Xiao Shang killed someone and didn't leave, hiding like he did just now, or he set up an ice wall. It was night so she couldn't see the ice wall clearly.
No wonder she felt someone was staring at her but didn't see anyone. So that's why.
She looked around to see how Xiao Shang left, or whether he had not left.
Jiang Fenghua has also been vigilant.
The secret guards also became alert. Ever since they encountered the Disha Sect, their Shenyin Camp had always suffered losses and felt humiliated. Mr. Gongsun had already severely punished them. The secret guard said, "Which way did they run to? I will lead my men to chase them."
Jiang Fenghua stopped them and said, "You are no match for Xiao Shang. There is no need to chase him. Just retreat!"
The secret guard felt even more ashamed and said, "I'll take my leave."
Xiao Yu thought to himself: Did the Queen hear everything?
Jiang Fenghua also has many unsolved mysteries in her heart. For example, in her previous life, Xiao Yu clearly helped Qin Yunyan defeat Su Tingwan, and wasn't his purpose to take her body out of the palace? In the end, why did Xiao Shang say that he would surrender to the Northern Xiao Kingdom?
Xiao Shang is the King of Bei Shang from the future, so he has long known that Xiao Yu will become a traitor to the Great Zhou, but why did Xiao Yu betray the Great Zhou?
Jiang Fenghua felt mixed emotions. The entire Jiang family accepted Xiao Yu's kindness. He even personally took her body back and buried it with the Jiang family. She owed him this favor, so how could she repay it?
In this life, she must not let these things happen again. She is already the queen. Their lives and destinies have changed. What about Xiao Yu's fate? He should have nothing to do with the Northern Xiao Kingdom!
What he said to Xiao Shang might not be true!
Jiang Fenghua was now certain of some things. She looked at Xiao Yu calmly. She really didn't know what kind of fate she had with him in her previous life that made Xiao Yu betray the Great Zhou and even cause rivers of blood to flow in the Great Zhou. If Xie Shang knew about this, Xiao Yu's life would be in danger.
The secret guards are from the Shenyin Camp. Now that Xie Shang can hand over the people from the Shenyin Camp to Xiao Yu, it means that Xiao Yu is working for the emperor, and he holds more than just a simple position as the Minister of Rites.
Jiang Fenghua said, "Master Xiao said that the Xiao family's original surname was Helian. Is that true? I didn't expect that your Xiao family's ancestors had such a deep connection with the royal family. The surname Xiao was also bestowed by the emperor."
Xiao Yu didn't know what Jiang Fenghua was thinking, nor did he hide the Xiao family's affairs. He said, "I sent a letter home a few days ago. My father wrote to say that there are rumors about the Xiao family. Our ancestors did have the surname Helian, but were later given a surname by the royal family. However, they were not the ancestors of the Xie family of the Great Zhou Kingdom, but from other dynasties. It was too long ago and there is no way to verify it. Maybe it's fake. True or false is not important to the Xiao family. Why are you asking this, Your Majesty?"
He always felt that there was something strange on Queen Jiang's face.
Jiang Fenghua smiled faintly, "The Xiao family's ancestors have experienced many ups and downs. I never thought there would be a figure like King Xiao Ming, so I'm a little curious."
"Your Majesty, you are joking. In fact, Prince Xiao Ming was fabricated by me. The Xiao family changed their surnames before, and I don't know what it was. The things I said to Prince Xiao are also unverifiable. I can't explain the surname Helian clearly."
Jiang Fenghua said, "Although that's the case, the speaker may not have meant it, but the listener may have taken it to heart. Prince Xiao must have taken it to heart. He even thought that the ancestors of their Beixiao Kingdom were really the Xiao family."
She suddenly took a half step closer to Xiao Yu and lowered her voice and said in a deep voice: "If the secret guards convey these words to the emperor's ears, the emperor will also take them to heart." Bei Xiao destroyed the Great Zhou, so how could Xie Shang not be afraid.
Jiang Fenghua immediately distanced himself from Xiao Shang and said half-jokingly, "He's the eldest prince of Beixiao Kingdom, but after hearing what you said, the royal family of Beixiao Kingdom has suddenly become a branch of the Xiao family. Lord Xiao is really good at making things difficult for Xiao Shang. With just a few words, he made the veins in Xiao Shang's fists pop out. He must be so angry that he's almost dead."
She spoke in a relaxed tone because she didn't want Xiao Yu to think too much. Nothing had happened and she didn't want to cause him trouble.
Xiao Yu only felt that the queen was very close to him just now. He could even smell the scent of agarwood in her hair. Her eyelashes were curled and the gorgeous Lycoris radiata between her eyebrows was like a demon king. He was stunned for a moment.
Seeing him dumbfounded, Jiang Fenghua called out again, "Master Xiao?"
Xiao Yu quickly regained his composure and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I have no ulterior motive for what I just said. The Xiao family has no connection with the Northern Xiao Kingdom, and there is no evidence in the Xiao family tree that proves that Xiao Ming is the founding king of the Northern Xiao Kingdom."
Jiang Fenghua said in a deep voice, "I don't care about these things. Sir Xiao, there is no need to explain. I believe that you have no second thoughts about the Great Zhou."
She just felt that things were becoming more and more complicated. If she didn't know what would happen in the future, she might just face whatever happened next with ease.
However, Xiao Shang's implication was that Xiao Yu was a member of the royal family of Beixiao Kingdom, and that in the future he would help Beixiao attack Da Zhou and put Da Zhou into a desperate situation.
And he is the benefactor of the Jiang family.
Xiao Yu quickly said, "I swear to be loyal to Your Majesty and Your Majesty until death."
Xiao Yu also felt Queen Jiang's worry. Was she worried that he would really be bewitched by Prince Xiao and betray the Great Zhou?
How could he... do such a thing?
