Chapter 426: Truly audacious!
The destruction of the city was unbelievable. Even Pei Yan, who had read extensively in history books, had never heard of such a thing. However, since he was no longer the crown prince, he could only do nothing about it.
If he were the crown prince, he would naturally have to exterminate all those heinous criminals, those who are even more despicable than bandits and thieves.
However, Pei Yan wouldn't think that way now.
At this moment, Fang Xiaoxiao also noticed that it seemed like someone was blowing wind around her, and she quickly reached out to pat it.
"Snapped!"
There was a crisp sound.
Pei Yan was dumbfounded.
He covered his cheek and took a few steps back, his eyes showing surprise and anger, but the anger quickly died down.
This feeling is hard to explain.
"Who are you, daring to break into my room in the middle of the night? You have some nerve! I'll teach you a lesson!"
Fang Xiaoxiao yelped and pulled out the anesthetic powder she had prepared beforehand from under her pillow, holding it in her hand.
Through the moonlight, only the other person's tall figure could be seen.
What's going on? Someone sneaked into the room so late at night, could it be...?
She dared not think about what would happen next, her eyes fixed on what was in front of her.
Pei Yan knew that Fang Xiaoxiao carried drugs that could paralyze people's bodies, and even poisons that could corrode other people's skin. He dared not go any closer and hurriedly said anxiously.
"Xiao Xiao, don't be impulsive, I am Pei Yan."
"Pei Yan~~"
Fang Xiaoxiao shook her head, trying to shake off her sleepiness, but her eyes remained alert.
She slowly got up, clutching the anesthetic powder tightly in her hand.
She would not hesitate to throw the anesthetic powder at the other party if they made any move.
At that moment, the door was kicked open.
Li Shizhen gripped a peach wood sword, his face fierce, and shouted loudly.
"Where did this servant come from, daring to break into a woman's boudoir at night? He'll be executed!"
As he spoke, he quickly walked up to Fang Xiaoxiao and whispered, "Don't be afraid, Madam Fang. This old Taoist not only knows medicine but also has some knowledge of martial arts."
Forehead!
Fang Xiaoxiao glanced at the disheveled old Taoist priest who reeked of alcohol.
She immediately asked Pei Yan in front of her.
"Are you really Pei Yan?"
Pei Yan nodded repeatedly and recounted how he got in.
Fang Xiaoxiao was finally relieved.
She had actually guessed it was Pei Yan earlier, but for safety's sake, she couldn't let her guard down. What if Pei Yan took advantage of her under the moonlight? That would be bad. Although she was fine, there was a princess who was fast asleep and wouldn't be disturbed by thunder next to her.
Russian qing.
The room was brightly lit by candlelight, dispelling the darkness.
Pei Yan sat at the square table, sipping tea and looking at his wife, who hadn't been seen for many days and had become slightly thinner.
"Xiao Xiao, you left without even leaving a letter, which made me send people to investigate for a long time."
When he returned from outside, he couldn't find Fang Xiaoxiao. He asked Zhou Wenjian, Long Jinyan, and a few others, but they all shook their heads and said they didn't know. Finally, he asked Li Renyi and found out that she had gone sightseeing with the princess.
But he was still worried, so he ordered his men to help him search.
Unexpectedly, this search revealed that his wife and the princess had gone through many life-or-death situations together.
Pei Yan looked at Fang Xiaoxiao with a worried expression.
"What are you looking at? It's not like you haven't seen my beauty before."
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Li Shizhen seemed to have choked on the alcohol.
Pei Yan was no longer as aloof as before; instead, he seemed more like a simp.
Instead of refuting him, he smiled and said...
"My wife is so beautiful, I never get tired of looking at her."
"Oh, I didn't expect Young Master Pei to be so greasy. Did he learn it from Li Renyi?"
"!!!"
Fang Xiaoxiao's words startled Pei Yan.
He did indeed discuss with Li Renyi a lot about how to get along with women.
It should be noted that Li Renyi was a frequent visitor to brothels and entertainment venues, and he had a thorough understanding of women.
Pei Yan coughed lightly and smiled as he returned.
"Xiao Xiaomo has nothing to say. I came here today to tell you that Suzhou is extremely dangerous. The military camp is a hundred miles away from the city gate and intends to massacre the city."
"!!!"
"What, a massacre of the entire city?"
Fang Xiaoxiao and Li Shizhen immediately stood up, looking very surprised and asking questions.
Pei Yan waved his hand and explained the information he had heard from his subordinates one by one.
He spoke very casually, as if the people of Suzhou had nothing to do with him.
Fang Xiaoxiao is different.
When Pei Yan told him that the soldiers, who were supposed to be protecting their country and its people, wanted to massacre the city, a strange anger welled up inside him.
"Snapped!"
"A bunch of sons of bitches! How can there be such wicked people in this world? Aren't they afraid of being punished by that dog emperor?!"
Fang Xiaoxiao's two big eyes were filled with anger, and her brows were furrowed into a deep frown.
As a model youth of the 21st century, she sees soldiers as sacred and dignified beings who protect the country and its people, and are the people's own army.
Back when the floods struck, it was these lovely soldiers who were the first to rush into the raging torrents.
During the great earthquake years ago, she personally witnessed them rescuing one by one the disaster victims trapped underground.
They rushed to the front lines regardless of the danger, sometimes even skipping meals to save lives on meager bread.
These scenes are still deeply etched in her mind.
However, now that Pei Yan has said that those who defend their country are actually planning to massacre the city, it's really hard to imagine anything more.
Pei Yan sat to the side watching his angry wife. He wanted to persuade her, but ultimately chose to remain silent.
Just then, Li Wan'er, who had been sleeping soundly, slowly woke up.
"Hmm~ Xiaoxiao, why is it so noisy? Is it Master Li knocking on the door because he's drunk?"
Fang Xiaoxiao turned around and glanced at the princess who was muttering with her eyes closed, and comforted her after calming down.
"It wasn't Master Li knocking on the door; a pervert broke into the house."
"Oh, you pervert, huh? Well then..."
Li Wan'er wanted to tell him to stop making noise, but suddenly a thought struck her, and her whole body felt as if she had been electrocuted. She screamed in fright and covered herself with the blanket.
Although her eyes and brows showed fear, they were still so captivating.
Only after seeing everything clearly did I realize what was happening.
It turns out the pervert was referring to Young Master Pei.
She recognized Pei Yan and knew that Fang Xiaoxiao had married seven husbands, one of whom was Pei Yan.
However, Pei Yan was a man of few words, which made her feel that he was not easy to get along with, so she consciously ignored him.
Seeing that she was awake, Fang Xiaoxiao quickly came to the bedside and teased her.
"What, are you afraid that Young Master Pei will bully you?"
"Ah, how could that be? Even if Young Master Pei is a lecher, it's only towards you, Xiao Xiao, not me."
Li Wan'er retorted and glared at Fang Xiaoxiao.
Fang Xiaoxiao wasn't annoyed, and instead looked at Pei Yan.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Young Master Pei, listen to what the princess said. It seems she really thinks of you as a pervert."
"Xiao Xiao, don't make things up about me. I never said that Young Master Pei is a pervert."
"Oh my, we all heard what you just said very clearly."
"Hmph, I won't talk to you anymore."
Li Wan'er blushed deeply after hearing what she said, her face turning as red as a Fuji apple.
