After the Disabled God of War Became My Concubine Chapter 88

This was the second time that Jiang Suizhou came face to face with Pang Shao after transmigrating.

Although he had exchanged several moves with Pang Shao, and now the latter could be called an old acquaintance, Jiang Suizhou also knew it was merely his luck in taking the lead because he came from the future.

The person in front of him was a tough nut to crack.

He stared at Pang Shao from afar, took a deep breath, forced himself to stabilize his mind, and slowly approached him.

When there were only three or five steps left between the two, Jiang Suizhou stopped and looked at Pang Shao from a higher position under the sun. The corners of his lips slightly hooked with a couple of smiles.

He watched as Pang Shao bowed gently and saluted him.

"This minister greets Your Highness Jingwang," Pang Shao said.

Jiang Suizhou regarded him for a moment with a soft smile. It wasn't until the inner servant on the side showed a look of panic did he slowly reply, "Chief Minister, you're being polite."

Pang Shao straightened up.

Jiang Suizhou looked him up and down, and said meaningfully, "Why did Pang-daren come into the palace today? Did His Majesty summon you?"

Pang Shao replied warmly, "To answer Your Highness, I have some trivial matters to report to His Majesty."

He heard Jiang Suizhou answer with laughter: "What else is going on between the Chief Minister and my Imperial Brother? You shouldn't have come here in vain. I'm afraid my Imperial Brother doesn't want to see you."

Pang Shao raised his eyes to look at Jiang Suizhou. He caught Jiang Suizhou staring at him, revealing an unconcealed, gloating smile.

"Although I have been ill in my house these days, I have heard something about the Chief Minister." His tone rang gently but with a certain degree of undisguised pride, "Chief Minister, you are a good player, but there are times when you miss."

Pang Shao forced a laugh and replied, "Your Highness must be laughing at me."

In front of him, Jiang Suizhou's hand hidden in his sleeve was already covered with a thin layer of sweat.

He knew that he must reluctantly show this appearance in order to dispel Pang Shao's doubts and make him feel that he was just taking pleasure in his misfortune and not the initiator of the matter. Only in this way, Pang Shao would not deal with him immediately. With his current strength, it would be a challenge to compete head-on with Pang Shao.

Thinking inwardly at railway speed, Jiang Suizhou smiled and said, "Thank you, Chief Minister. As a matter of fact, I've almost recovered after hearing this good turn."

Pang Shao echoed breezily, "That also counts as a meritorious service to this minister."

Jiang Suizhou smiled and nodded, then he turned sideways and raised his hand in an inviting gesture.

"Then, Chief Minister, leave for now." He said, "I'm afraid my Imperial Brother will be angry with you for a while, so you shouldn't delay here."

Pang Shao smiled, bowed and gave him a salute before lifting his legs and walking away.

Jiang Suizhou gave him a sideway glance and also walked straight to the outside of the palace.

The hands in his sleeves were shaking uncontrollably.

The man in front of him looked the most amiable and upright, but Jiang Suizhou knew that under this guise, he was the sharpest and cruelest soul.

Jiang Suizhou pressed his footsteps and walked forward step by step.

Behind him, Pang Shao, who was ten paces away, turned around and gave Jiang Suizhou an obscure glance.

Jiang Suizhou walked farther away.

He's different from what I've expected, Pang Shao inwardly murmured.

Pang Shao was convinced that Jiang Suizhou was responsible for Zhao Dunting's case from the day the incident happened. He immediately sent people to Zhao Dunting's house to search for traces, but the group of people were all wiped out. Even their corpses had disappeared.

Pang Shao monitored Jingwang Manor all year round. Although he couldn't reach Jingwang's courtyard, he was well aware that he lacked such great ability. After all, he spent fortunes cultivating his shadow guards beneath his manor. Jingwang wasn't rich enough, and was constrained by others everywhere. Even cultivating a few dead soldiers was as difficult as climbing up to heaven, let alone contending with his shadow guards.

But he also knew that this matter seemed to be pushing the boat with the current, but in fact caused a rift between him and the Emperor. The biggest beneficiary was also Jingwang.

Therefore, he simply assumed that he was negligent.

But from Jingwang's appearance just now, Pang Shao's heart was somewhat shaken again.

He had watched Jingwang grow up and knew that he wasn't that shrewd. He killed his shadow guards and acted as if nothing had happened in front of him. There wasn't the least bit of clue from his appearance.

When the servant next to Pang Shao saw him stop, he hurriedly asked, "Chief Minister?"

Pang Shao paused in his steps and said indifferently, "It's nothing."

Then he turned his head and proceeded to the main hall.

He hated guessworks, and despised the things that eluded him even more.

His best bet to deal with these people and things was to exterminate them by mistake instead of letting a single one off.

Since Huo Wujiu was able to stand up, his health improved day by day. In just a few days, he was able to move around freely.

Wei Kai was so excited that he burst into tears.

After administering acupuncture and medicine that day, the two men closed all the doors and windows of Huo Wujiu's room securely and had him walk back and forth in the room several times.

"It won't take long for General's leg to heal!" Li Changning exclaimed happily. "After that, I only need to prescribe some tonic medicine to warm your meridians every day, and in a month or so, you will be able to ride horses and use qinggong!"

Huo Wujiu looked down at his legs and responded with a faint hum.

Li Changning then turned around and went to pack his medical kit.

Wei Kai stepped forward and whispered to Huo Wujiu, "My Lord, our brothers outside received news from the Great Liang."

Huo Wujiu abruptly raised his eyes.

"Speak."

Wei Kai whispered quickly, "Our flying pigeons have contacted the General guarding the north bank of the Great River, and that man has said that he will greet you on the river any day you make the move. As long as our brothers can escort you to the river, he will make arrangements for everything after that."

After Wei Kai said that, he laughed, "As long as your legs fully recover, how could anyone catch you again? Besides, they all think you're disabled, so if they are caught unaware, we'll be able to succeed in one fell swoop."

Huo Wujiu fell silent for a moment, but asked, "The General guarding the north bank of the river? Where is Wu Qianfan?"

The one who was guarding Jiangbei was Wu Qianfan, who was adopted by the old marquis together along with Wei Kai.

Wei Kai paused, and his smile gradually faded.

"Qianfan... he's gone," he said.
