655 Exposed Nangong Li, The Emperor’s Fury (1)
After a period of “in and out”, on a quiet night, the two famous War Gods of Nanzhao and the Great Zhou finally met by chance in the corridor of Wutong Courtyard.
Xiao Zhenting was here to treat Asura’s injuries, and Helian Beiming was here to deliver medicine to Asura. The war between the two countries was about to start. Two people who were supposed to fight to the death on the battlefield actually gathered together for the same goal.
Xiao Zhenting had come to the Helian Manor many times. Helian Beiming did not expose him. As long as he did not expose him, he would pretend not to have seen this person. However, the two of them had met so openly. Should he pretend not to know him, or pretend not to know him?
Xiao Zhenting was as embarrassed as him.!!
Although he did not deliberately hide his identity, he did not openly publicize it. The two of them had their own standpoints. It was fine as long as they knew some things in their hearts. There was no need to say it openly.
But now, the door was so narrow. One was inside the door and the other was outside. Should he say that he was not Xiao Zhenting, or he was not Xiao Zhenting?
“Ahem!”
“Ahem!”
The two of them cleared their throats in unison.
The army pressed down on the border, and the two countries faced off. The battle was about to start. The Emperor and the Emperor of the Great Zhou wished they could roll up their sleeves and fight. As ministers, shouldn’t they… fight first?
“Eh? General! Big Brother! You’re all here? What are you waiting for? It’s going to rain soon! Come in and sit!” Yu Shaoqing carried a basket of dried chili that he had sunbathed from Xixia Garden and entered the house calmly.
His expression and tone were unbelievably easy-going, as if the people he had greeted just now were not two generals who were fighting to the death.
Helian Beiming and Xiao Zhenting looked at him, dumbfounded. For a moment, they did not move.
Did this brat know their current identities? Did he know that they should pick up their swords and beat each other first?
Yu Shaoqing took a few steps and noticed that the two of them did not follow, so he turned around and said strangely, “Why are two men standing at the door? You’re blocking the way!”
As he spoke, he glanced behind the two of them.
Xiao Zhenting looked forward, and Helian Beiming turned around. He saw Zi Su laboriously carrying a basin of washed clothes. She did not know whether to enter or not.
Helian Beiming was the host after all. He said first, “Let’s go to the study and sit.”
“Okay,” Xiao Zhenting agreed without batting an eyelid.
Xiao Zhenting walked in, and Helian Beiming’s wheel was stuck in the crack in the stone. Xiao Zhenting helped expressionlessly and pushed the wheelchair out.
“Thank you,” Helian Beiming said.
“No need to thank me,” Xiao Zhenting said.
The two of them went to the study. Yu Shaoqing carried the dried chili to the small kitchen. Ah Shu wanted to eat spicy chicken, so he went to show her his skills. Unexpectedly, after he had taken two steps, his brother and the Grand Marshal shouted angrily, “You, come in!”
Yu Shaoqing’s heart trembled.
Helian Beiming and Xiao Zhenting looked at each other in unison, and their expressions turned ugly.
You dare to be fierce to my brother?
You dare to scold my subordinate?
Yu Shaoqing walked into the house with a dustpan of red dried chili. “What?”
The two of them hesitated, their expressions indescribable.
Yu Shaoqing’s mind was filled with the 108 ways to make spicy chicken. He did not react at all to what was wrong with his brother meeting the Grand Marshal.
When Yu Wan passed by, she curiously entered the room and greeted, “Eh? Father, Uncle, you’re all here? I forgot to introduce you. Uncle, this is Grand Marshal Xiao. Father, this is Divine General Beiming.”
The two of them could be considered to have “met”.
Yu Wan knew the stakes, but they were all family and trustworthy people. She had nothing to worry about and told Helian Beiming about Xiao Zhenting and Shangguan Yan moving into Sishui Street.
The first time Xiao Zhenting came to look for Yu Wan, Helian Beiming knew. However, he did not expect him to become Prince Yan’s neighbor. He was so shocked that he did not know what to say.
Yu Wan continued, “Father and Mother are here to look for Yan Jiuchao and Prince Yan. Only the two of them came. There’s also a little maidservant called Xingzhu. Even the coachman was hired halfway after entering Nanzhao.”
In other words, the Great Zhou’s War God did not infiltrate the Capital to spy on military intelligence.
If it were anyone else, Helian Beiming might not have believed her so easily. However, he knew Yu Wan well. This girl was definitely not easy to fool, and she would definitely not deliberately trap the Helian family in order to please the Great Zhou Emperor and Xiao Zhenting.
