"But I can't bear to leave you, Grandpa Emperor!" Upon hearing Emperor Da Qi's words, the young girl's eyes instantly turned red, even sparkling with a trace of crystal tears.
Emperor Daqi waved to the young girl, asked her to sit next to him, stretched out his hand and touched the young girl's head lovingly.
For a time, the entire palace fell into sad silence!
…
"Your Highness, Commander Xiao wants to see you!" A guard walked up to King Nan and reported in a respectful tone.
"Let him in!" King Nan said!
After a while, Sheriff Xiao came over, bowed respectfully to King Nan and said, "I see His Highness King Nan."
"Master Xiao, there is no need to be polite!" King Nan looked at Sheriff Xiao and quickly stood up to help him up!
Regarding Governor Xiao, King Nan did not have the same contempt as before.
Because Sheriff Xiao helped him win over so many county guards, he was very satisfied with Sheriff Xiao in his heart!
It can be said that in his heart, he already regards Governor Xiao as his confidant.
"Thank you, Sir!" Sheriff Xiao saw King Nan and stood up to help him. This made him feel a little flattered!
"Master Xiao, please take a seat. I wonder why Commander Xiao has something important to do when he comes so late!" Prince Nan poured a cup of tea for Commander Xiao and asked.
"Your Highness, King Xie Nan." Sheriff Xiao put down the tea cup, hesitated for a moment and said, "My subordinates are here because of Xia Haoxuan!"
When King Nan heard what Commander Xiao said, he couldn't help but frown.
He did not expect that Sheriff Xiao would receive the news so quickly.
To be honest, it was indeed a bit unkind to ask Lord Ling to conquer Sheriff Xiao without consulting with Sheriff Xiao and others.
But he also knew that if he discussed it with Sheriff Xiao and others, he would definitely encounter fierce opposition from Sheriff Xiao and others.
So in order to keep things clean, he simply avoided Sheriff Xiao and others and asked Lord Ling to go find Xia Haoxuan!
However, he was also a little unsure as to why Governor Xiao came here.
So he looked directly at Governor Xiao and said, "About Xia Haoxuan? What's the matter?"
"My subordinates believe that Xia Haoxuan's talent in alchemy and formation formation is extraordinary! King Nan should take him under his command and use him for his own use!" Sheriff Xiao suddenly stood up and cupped his fists at King Nan.
"What did you say? You asked me to subdue that Xia Haoxuan?" King Nan almost suspected that he heard Xia Haoxuan wrongly when he heard what Xia Haoxuan said.
In his opinion, Sheriff Xiao absolutely hated that Xia Haoxuan!
When Sheriff Xiao comes, it would be good if he doesn't deal with Xia Haoxuan.
But what he never expected was that Sheriff Xiao would actually persuade him to subdue Xia Haoxuan, which made him a little bit unbelievable.
"Yes, if His Highness can subdue that Xia Haoxuan, when that Xia Haoxuan grows up, it will be even more powerful for His Highness!" Sheriff Xiao nodded and said firmly.
King Nan looked at Sheriff Xiao with a strange expression: "Don't you hate that Xia Haoxuan? Don't you want to kill that Xia Haoxuan?"
"Hate, I hate Xia Haoxuan more than anyone else. Not only do I want to kill Xia Haoxuan, I would also like to shave him alive if possible!" Sheriff Xiao said through gritted teeth!
When King Nan heard what Commander Xiao said, he was even more surprised. He couldn't help but squint his eyes and looked at Commander Xiao: "You hate him so much, why do you still persuade me to subdue him?"
"My subordinates hate him. That is their private matter! But His Highness's subjugation of Xia Haoxuan is a big deal!"
The private matters of my subordinates are nothing compared to the important matters of His Highness!" Sheriff Xiao said with sincerity.
"Okay!" After hearing what Commander Xiao said, King Nan subconsciously uttered the word "good". Looking at Commander Xiao's eyes, he became more and more satisfied.
How could he not be happy to have subordinates who were so considerate of him?
King Nan looked at Governor Xiao and said with fondness on his face: "It's great that I can get help from Mr. Xiao."
It’s the king’s honor!”
Sheriff Xiao clasped his fists and said in an impassioned tone: "My subordinates actually follow His Highness, so naturally they must be loyal to His Highness and consider everything for His Highness!"
"Come here, serve some food and wine. I am very happy today and want to have a few more drinks with Governor Xiao!" King Nan shouted happily.
…
"Prime Minister Qin, please don't send me off. I can go back by myself!" After leaving the palace, Xia Haoxuan said to Prime Minister Qin beside him.
Prime Minister Qin refused to answer any questions, and Xia Haoxuan did not get any useful information from him.
Xia Haoxuan had to say that this Qin Cheng was extremely loyal to the Da Qi Emperor!
"No, no, no, no, no, no, how dare I disobey His Majesty's order. I must send you back safely within these few steps!" Qin Chenglian hurriedly waved his hand and refused.
"Okay!" Xia Haoxuan had no choice but to agree after hearing what Prime Minister Qin said.
"The thief will take his life!" But at this moment, a loud shout suddenly came and he rushed towards Xia Haoxuan.
"Be careful!" Prime Minister Qin saw the person who suddenly rushed out and blocked Xia Haoxuan directly!
Bang!
Prime Minister Qin struck the assassin's weapon with his palm, and a huge explosion sounded immediately.
To Xia Haoxuan's surprise, Prime Minister Qin's strength was actually quite high. The power he unleashed at this moment was at least as strong as the peak of the Lingjun realm.
And the assassin's strength was not low. He didn't give in when facing Prime Minister Qin. The two of them fought evenly!
"You bold thief, you dare to act cruel under the emperor's feet, how dare you tell me your origins." Prime Minister Qin shouted violently while fighting the assassin.
"Humph!" When the assassin heard Prime Minister Qin's question, he snorted coldly and did not answer Prime Minister Qin's intention.
"Haoxuan, please retreat to the palace quickly. Be careful that this traitor has accomplices!" Prime Minister Qin hurriedly sent a message to Xia Haoxuan.
When Xia Haoxuan heard what Prime Minister Qin said, he did not retreat.
He squinted his eyes and looked at the assassin, lost in thought.
He was wondering who sent this assassin.
Of course, the first thing he thought of was King Nan. After all, he had not given face to King Nan that day. It was reasonable for King Nan to send people to kill him.
But soon, Xia Haoxuan dismissed this idea.
Because King Nan just sent Liu Ji to win over him not long ago, King Nan should not be so anxious and send people to assassinate him.
"Then who sent us here at this moment? Could it be County Sheriff Xiao and the others?"
At this moment, Xia Haoxuan could not think of anyone other than Sheriff Xiao who would send someone to assassinate him.
"Hurry and protect Prime Minister Qin and capture that thief."
The battle between Prime Minister Qin and the assassin quickly attracted the attention of the palace guards. A large group of guards heard the sound and rushed towards the assassin.
When the assassin saw the arrival of the palace guards, his eyes narrowed slightly, he thought for a moment, and then immediately turned around and left! (To be continued)
