After the Disabled God of War Became My Concubine Chapter 92

Jiang Suizhou was stunned when he heard his words, "Pardon?"

Then Huo Wu Jiu said, "Aren't you going to go hunting? I'll go with you."

As soon as he heard that, he knew that what Huo Wujiu suggested wasn't at all feasible. Those two proposed that he bring Xu Du, just to let him protect him closely, lest Pang Shao attempt to attack him covertly during the hunt. Huo Wujiu couldn't stand up after all. If he were to take him with him, it would be too late to protect him if accidents arose.

But strangely enough, he opened his mouth, but could not say no.

For a spell, he even felt touched.

It was as if this person had been with him for a long time. Even if he wasn't capable of anything, Jiang Suizhou had an inexplicable sense of security as long as Huo Wujiu was around.

Jiang Suizhou remained silent for a moment before suppressing these irrational thoughts.

He opened his mouth and said, "But it's inconvenient for you to move about. Lin'an is hundreds of miles away from Tianping Mountain, so it's strenuous..."

Huo Wujiu, however, countered, "No worries."

When Jiang Suizhou looked at him, Huo Wujiu raised his eyes and said calmly, "You want to bring your family. I also count, right?"

Jiang Suizhou opened his mouth.

He wanted to refute.

But the words he just said were contrary to the implicit expectation in his heart. At this moment, as soon as Huo Wujiu interrupted, he could no longer retort.

A few moments later, he dragged out, "Then you must pay attention to safety on the road."

After that day, Jiang Suizhou got busy.

As summer gradually ushered in, the daily garments of the Hou Zhu had to be changed. It was the duty of the Imperial Household Department to tailor clothes, and then the old clothes in spring and winter should be properly registered and stored away by the Ministry of Rites.

The Ministry of Rites had been busy these days, and this task fell on Jiang Suizhou's head.

Jiang Suizhou knew that the matter of the Emperor's court robe could not be slighted. Once it flowed out of his hand, it would be a capital crime. Because of Pang Shao, he was very careful and did everything himself. He didn't dare to give Pang Shao the opportunity to tamper.

On this ground, he did not visit Huo Wujiu for several days in a row.

When he didn't visit, Wei Kai took the chance to stay there for a longer time, reporting to Huo Wujiu the news from the capital of Northern Liang.

On this day, he learned from the room that Huo Wujiu was going to go hunting with Jiang Suizhou.

Wei Kai was overjoyed and said, "It turned out that it's because of this that you said you're in no hurry to leave! We don't have to hide from the capital guards when we follow them out of the palace. Their honor guards will absolutely be useless. Once we're out of the city, it's best to find a chance to escape!"

But Huo Wujiu said indifferently, "We're not escaping. You should prepare. Disguise as a page and push my wheelchair."

Wei Kai was stupefied: "General?"

Huo Wujiu raised his eyes at him, and heard him ask,, "What are you planning to do if we don't escape?"

Huo Wujiu said indifferently, "Aren't we going to hunt? Go hunting, of course."

Wei Kai exclaimed, "General, don't jest me! You don't intend to take the chance to flee, but you're also going to..."

Huo Wujiu interrupted him.

"Just because, I have a speculation," he said, "You'd better follow along yourself to be at ease. If my conjecture is correct, you will know when it happens."

Hearing this, Wei Kai could only snap his mouth shut in embarrassment.

Then Huo Wu Jiu asked, "What is Jingwang busy with these days?"

Wei Kai answered, "He is arranging the emperor's court robes for that dog emperor. It seems that he has been going out early and returning at dusk the past few days for these, seemingly in fear that someone would tamper with them."

"Did someone do something?" Huo Wujiu asked.

Wei Kai replied, "There's one. A member of the Pang family is in the Ministry of Rites. He's not a high-ranking official, but a nephew of Pang Shao. However, Jingwang has been keeping an eye on him from the onset and hasn't given him a chance to play tricks till now."

Huo Wujiu put down the book in his hand and pondered for a moment.

"If he wants to make a move, it's nothing more than to make Jingwang commit a grave offense," he analyzed.

Wei Kai nodded repeatedly at his words, "Exactly! I heard that the dog Emperor is extravagant and would not wear his old clothes ever again after a season. As a result, after those emperor's court robes were filed and put away, no one would make an inventory of them attentively. If one or two pieces are missing and appear in Jingwang Manor, won't that be a reason to decapitate Jingwang?"

Wei Kai looked completely detached to the issue, and was talking with great interest, not noticing that his general was stroking his chin in deep thought.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the general ask.

"With your skills, would it be a challenge to obtain an emperor's court robe?"

Wei Kai was taken aback.

"General, you want to lend them a hand and kill Jingwang?"

Huo Wujiu regarded him quietly.

Wei Kai's back felt chilled from his gaze that he shut his mouth numbly: "This subordinate has misspoken. Please tell me what to do."

The General retracted his gaze and spoke unhurriedly.

"Give someone a taste of his own medicine."

Jiang Suizhou had always known that Pang Shao's nephew was working under his command.

However, Pang Shao's nephew was originally an unfavored son of his elder brother's concubine. The Pang family was a large and prosperous family with countless children and grandchildren, and his nephews were too many to count on two hands. Naturally, he didn't pay much attention to this kind of nephew.

There was no way for Jiang Suizhou to know that this nephew couldn't win Pang Shao's heart. However, the man made no mistakes under his management. He had no right to drive him away, so he had to be careful with his every move to avoid trouble.

However, within a few days, the man actually brought trouble to himself.

Today, Jiang Suizhou had been in the Ministry of Rites to deal with follow-up matters, and it wasn't until late at night did he return to the manor.

He was in a trance until he returned to his house. He only felt that what happened in the daytime was surreal.

When he returned to the house, he couldn't help but go straight to Huo Wujiu.

Recently, it had become his habit to find Huo Wujiu when accidents happened.

Huo Wujiu hadn't slept yet.
