After the Disabled God of War Became My Concubine

Chapter 194

Even when the officials arrived in Southern Jing, the greeting party was still moving at a snail’s pace because they had to take care of Huo Yuyan along the way.

It was not until the tenth day of the first lunar month that the palace received a report from the scouts, saying that the team that greeted the Crown Prince and the officials of Northern Liang were about to arrive in Southern Jing.

Jiang Suizhou pondered for a moment after receiving the news, and said, “I see. Go and invite Qi-daren to the palace.”

The scout responded and withdrew.

“Do you want Qi Min to go out of the palace to meet him?” Huo Wujiu asked.

Jiang Suizhou nodded: “He is the most suitable.”

Huo Wujiu pondered for a while, then sighed: “If he sees Qi Min, he will definitely think more. Qi Min can be regarded as an old minister of Southern Jing. So I used two veteran ministers of Southern Jing instead of so many generals to welcome him —— But Qi Min’s official position is quite high. He’s bound to be thrown into confusion if he sees Qi Min.”

Jiang Suizhou said, “That’s exactly the idea.”

Huo Wujiu raised an eyebrow: “Then let someone prepare a dinner banquet later. I will personally give him a reception. At that time, I’ll show my achievements off to make him uneasy and reveal a hint of disloyalty. By then, I’m afraid he won’t be able to resist taking action.”

Jiang Suizhou pondered for a moment and said, “That’s a good idea.”

Huo Wujiu stood up, went around behind him, reached out and wrapped his arm around him: “Just stay in the palace and wait for my news.”

Jiang Suizhou smiled and raised his head to look at him: “Won’t you let me go?”

Huo Wujiu frowned upon hearing this, and said without thinking, “Of course you can’t go. What if he targets you?”

Jiang Suizhou shook his head: “But if I don’t go, he will be suspicious of you.”

Huo Wujiu’s voice sank.

“Let him be suspicious whatsoever.” He said, “As far as I’m concerned, moving against him anytime is just up to my pleasure. How can I let you go and put yourself in danger? Don’t be ridiculous.”

Jiang Suizhou couldn’t help but argue: “What danger can there be now in Southern Jing?”

But Huo Wujiu didn’t listen to him. “You can’t take any risks. Just stay in the palace. Even if he wants to know what kind of person you are, he doesn’t have that much ability to do so.”

Jiang Suizhou looked up at him and couldn’t help but sigh deep inside.

Huo Wujiu had to complicate simple things in order to protect him, that was a fact that couldn’t be changed.

He restrained his smile, put on a serious look, and looked Huo Wujiu in the eye.

“What did I tell you before?” He said, “I don’t need you to protect me and keep me behind like this. It’s counterproductive.”

Huo Wujiu’s stance, however, did not soften the least bit: “That won’t work. This time is different.”

Jiang Suizhou asked, “What’s different?”

Huo Wujiu said, “Huo Yuyan is very sinister. Who knows what he will do?”

“But ever since he stepped into Southern Jing, he and his men have all fallen under your surveillance, haven’t they?” Jiang Suizhou said, “What’s more, you and I both know how Lin’an is guarded today, so it’s difficult for him to do anything.”

Huo Wujiu was at a disadvantage and did not speak.

Jiang Suizhou understood. Since he refused to speak, it meant he was in the wrong but was still making a fuss.

He reached out and clasped his hand.

“If I’m not mistaken, he followed these ministers here and will definitely try every means to sow discord between you.” He added, “Ranging from those ministers’ official positions to their daily food and daily life, there are places where he can use tamper with. You only know that these people are loyal to you, but you should also know that the human heart is the most fickle thing. You have always stayed in Yangguan and have been to Ye City only several times. Can you be sure that you can grasp the thoughts of every courtier?”

Although Huo Wujiu showed a cold face, a cold heart and an invulnerable appearance at this time, he couldn’t help flipping his hand and grasping Jiang Suizhou’s hand into his palm when Jiang Suizhou laid his hand behind his.

“… Not really,” he admitted.

The profound thoughts between courtiers and the ruler was indeed such a headache for him to delve into.

“That’s why you need me.” Jiang Suizhou said, “I know them better than you do.”

Huo Wujiu pursed his lips and did not speak.

Jiang Suizhou asked warmly, “Let me go with you tonight, okay?”

Huo Wujiu struggled for a moment and finally returned, “… Then in what capacity will you attend? And who in the city today doesn’t know my relationship with you? Huo Yuyan will definitely make things difficult for you.”

Jiang Suizhou laughed deeply. He tugged Huo Wujiu’s hand upward and pressed it against the side of his face.

Huo Wujiu lowered his gaze and saw Jiang Suizhou sitting on the throne looking up at him. A fox-like smile spread on his overly delicate face, making the soft red mole at the corner of his eye stand out even more vividly.

“What’s so hard about that?” Jiang Suizhou said, “As long as he considers me a little pretty boy that has confused you, distracted General Huo’s attention and made you obey me in everything, then he had to put up with everything for your sake.”

Huo Wujiu looked down at him. He knew all too well that he was deliberately pretending, but his Adam’s apple still couldn’t help rolling up and down.

… Sure enough, he’s indeed a demon that can hook people’s souls.

He gulped. A moment later, he clenched his teeth, leaned down, pressed Jiang Suizhou on the throne, and kissed him ferociously.

“You take my life along with you, leave it at that.”

Huo Wujiu gritted his teeth and said between kisses.
