Chapter 1346: The Scheming Brother Jinnian

Editor: Atlas Studios

Xie Jinnian was here to ask how to feed the phoenix.

The two birds had gone to the City Lord Manor since yesterday. A day and night had passed, but they had not eaten a single grain of rice.

Xiahou Qing was worried that he would starve the little pets his son had personally chosen, so he got someone to come to the Hundred Flowers Palace to ask.

Xie Jinnian volunteered to take on this job.

He first went to greet Yun Shuang and Wei Xu. His address had changed from Hero Duanmu to General Wei.

Then, he went to the Azure Cloud Palace to see Ling Yun.

When Su Xiaoxiao arrived, he was playing chess with Ling Yun, and Wei Qing was sitting at the side as the referee.

The three of them sat on the futon. The cold west wind blew, and their clothes swayed gently.

Su Xiaoxiao was suddenly stunned.

If Su Xuan was also here, it would be even more perfect.

This was not Azure Cloud Palace, but the Jade Pool Immortal Palace where a god had descended.

“Second Young Madam.”

The servant came over and bowed softly.

“Shh.”

Su Xiaoxiao gestured with her index finger on her lips.

Don’t disturb her from looking at handsome men.

After Xie Jinnian placed a piece, he smiled warmly. “How’s my chess skills compared to the Young Palace Lord?”

Wei Qing asked, “Do you want me to tell the truth?”

Ling Yun said, “Tell me.”

Wei Qing took a deep breath. “Comparable.”

Xie Jinnian sighed. “Looks like my chess skills are very bad.”

Ling Yun’s face darkened. “Are you indirectly scolding me?”

Xie Jinnian thought for a moment and changed his words. “Looks like Young Palace Lord’s chess skills are very bad.”

Ling Yun was speechless.

Wei Qing smiled and said, “I’ll play a round with Second Young Master.”

Xie Jinnian agreed happily. “Okay.”

Ling Yun moved his seat.

Xie Jinnian stared at the chessboard and began to pack up the chess pieces. However, he said, “Miss Cheng, how long are you going to stand outside?”

Wei Qing couldn’t help but laugh. “Wipe your saliva. If Little Seven finds out, he’ll be jealous again.”

Just like Xie Jinnian, he had long discovered her.

Two head spies and a head eunuch could not be provoked!

Ling Yun looked at the door in surprise. “Oh? You’re here?”

Fortunately, there was a normal one among them.

He would never admit that she had controlled him with delicious food.

Su Xiaoxiao walked in.

The few of them thought that she would sit down beside Wei Qing. Ling Yun even thoughtfully placed a futon for her.

Unexpectedly, she picked up the futon and placed it solemnly beside Xie Jinnian. She picked up the teapot and poured Xie Jinnian a cup of tea. “Second Young Master, have some tea.”

Xie Jinnian: “You’re not calling me Brother Jinnian anymore?”

Wei Qing and Ling Yun looked at Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao gave a fake smile. Do you have to be so direct? My second brother is still here. If Wei Ting hears this, would he think our relationship is too good?

Don’t panic, calm down.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Wei Qing. “Second Brother, I chose two sets of headress for Second Sister-in-law. I’ll bring them to your room later!”

“What about me?”

Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “A box of rose pastries.”

“Two boxes.”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Deal.”

Phew.

A certain fat girl heaved a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Su Xuan wasn’t around. Otherwise, she really wouldn’t have been able to handle it.

Next, she quietly watched the two of them play.

Her chess skills were not bad, but she was still an entire realm behind Wei Qing.

In the Wei family, other than Wei Ting, no one else could win or lose against Wei Qing in chess.

This round seemed to be a game of chess, but it was inexplicably filled with killing intent.

It was said that one could meet friends through chess, but sometimes, one could see the other party’s tricks through chess.

Su Xiaoxiao widened her eyes and stared at the chessboard in front of her.

However, what puzzled her was that she could not understand what these two were doing.

Ling Yun stopped looking. He didn’t like things that burned his brain too much.

He was lazy.

He picked up the jelly beans on the table and ate them.

Finally, the round was over.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the messy chessboard and said slowly, “Who… won?”

Xie Jinnian said gently, “Of course, I lost.”

Wei Qing’s expression was a little indescribable. It made people feel that he was suppressing something. “No, there’s no victory or defeat in this round.”

Su Xiaoxiao tilted her head. “Eh?”

Had the Eunuch Head fought to a draw with the Head of the Western Jin Secret Service?

Xie Jinnian cupped his hands politely at Wei Qing. “Thank you.”

Then, he said to Su Xiaoxiao, “Miss Cheng, please follow me to the City Lord Manor to see those two phoenixes.”

Su Xiaoxiao said obediently, “Okay, Brother Jinnian!”

Xie Jinnian bade farewell and went outside to wait for Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Wei Qing. “Second Brother, did you find out anything?”

Wei Qing couldn’t take it anymore and said, “His chess skills… are really terrible! I don’t want to play chess with him anymore in my life!”

Other people were easily defeated by the other party, but Xie Jinnian could wipe out the entire team with his opponent.

No one could survive.

Su Xiaoxiao sighed inwardly. It seemed that not every leader could be interested in the same thing.

Su Xiaoxiao brought the Saintess out of the Hundred Flowers Palace with a basket of phoenix grass.

When she arrived at the door, she only saw Xie Jinnian. “Where’s your carriage?”

Xie Jinnian said, “Someone from the City Lord Manor happened to come out to do something, so I asked them to give me a ride.”

You’re really saving money… Su Xiaoxiao said, “Then, take my carriage!”

Xie Jinnian smiled. “I’ll do as you say.”

Su Xiaoxiao happened to have something to ask him and wanted to do some bootlicking at the same time.

Xie Jinnian glanced at the expressionless and veiled Saintess.

Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “Her name is Cheng Xin.”

Xie Jinnian said meaningfully, “I see.”

Su Xiaoxiao understood that he was referring to the Saintess openly resisting Zongzheng Ming in the throne room in the Southern Wilderness and leading the Holy Maiden Temple to join Zongzheng Ming.

It seemed that he had guessed that the Saintess had already become a puppet.

Wei Qing was Wei Ting’s biological brother, and Su Xuan was her biological cousin. They a bloodline advantage and were born an ally.

However, this Head Eunuch… was not related to her at all. She had even used him so many times. No matter how stupid he was, he could guess that Wuhu had deliberately brought him to expose the Saintess’ secret.

How should she calm his anger?

Su Xiaoxiao thought hard with a serious expression.

Halfway through the carriage, the Saintess sitting on the roof suddenly stood up.

After a pause, an inverted golden hook flipped into the carriage.

Su Xiaoxiao quickly asked, “Cheng Xin, what’s wrong?”

As soon as she finished speaking, the Saintess raised her hand towards Su Xiaoxiao’s cheek and suddenly grabbed an arrow that broke through the window.

Then, her eyes turned cold as she slapped the arrow back.

Swish!

The speeding arrow pierced through a tree trunk as thick as a bowl with a destructive sound. Moreover, it did not stop because of this. Instead, it pierced through the forehead of a masked assassin with infinite strength!

The archer fell to the ground.

At the same time, more and more archers drew their bows.

The Saintess got out of the carriage and stood on the roof of the carriage. She suddenly took out a white rope and twisted the big bow in their hands!

The carriage continued to speed.

The group spurred their horses in pursuit.

If anyone came, the Saintess would kill them!

Soon, these assassins were dealt with.

But it was not over.

When they turned into the official road, a powerful puppet descended from the sky and forced the Saintess off the carriage.

The Saintess fought fiercely with the other party.

“Stop the carriage!”

Su Xiaoxiao said.

The coachman stopped the carriage.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the puppet fighting the Saintess and asked, “Who are they? Did they ambush you or me?”

“Me,” Xie Jinnian answered the second question bluntly.

Su Xiaoxiao said thoughtfully, “Ambushed you? Could it be Xiahou Zheng’s men? No, Xiahou Zheng has just been imprisoned. He won’t court death so quickly. It’s Xiahou Yi! He’s teaching you a lesson! Were you ambushed this morning?”

Xie Jinnian said, “No.”

Su Xiaoxiao muttered, “Strange, why didn’t they attack on the way here?”

Xie Jinnian said calmly, “I forgot to tell you. The two elders from the City Lord Manor who gave me a ride this morning were Elder Li and Elder Hai.”

Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.

Hearing this, what didn’t Su Xiaoxiao understand?

She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. “Did you guess that someone wanted to kill you long ago? I actually don’t have to go to the City Lord Manor, right? You deliberately brought me along so that I could exhaust these assassins for you! Xie Jinnian! You tricked me!”

Xie Jinnian smiled. “Miss Cheng, it takes one to know one.”
