Chapter 1202: A Coward Has Many Excuses!

seven or eight soldiers suddenly sprang out from the roadside and stopped it.The carriage driver was startled and quickly reined in his horse, shouting, “Who are you Why did you stop the carriage”A so...Mu Xu spat out two black jade seeds, carefully collecting them.

Firstly, they wouldn't want to leave such obvious traces on their escape route.

Secondly, these melon seeds are so black and plump! I'll keep them and plant them in a suitable place in Quanzhou when I get there!

But as he was eating, how come his back started to feel cold

Could it be raining

Jia Yin ate a few bites of jadeite melon and a bowl of cold noodles before putting down her chopsticks. Just as she was about to change the dressings for her father and stepfather, she suddenly twitched her nose twice.

Her eyes lit up, and then she quickly took out a few pills and had everyone take them.

No one asked any further questions, they simply swallowed the pills and continued to eat, drink, and rest.

Li Lao Si lay comfortably on the grass, sighing contentedly, "This is the life! Three meals a day, a good sleep at night, living carefree until you're old.

"

From now on, Laozi will do this every day, absolutely no more trouble.

Mu Xu dexterously picked up the melon rinds, casually revealing his future father-in-law's past.

"Didn't you just say you were going to take people overseas and usurp a few pirates as emperor"

"You little punk, if you don't speak up, nobody will think of you as a mute!" Li Lao Si threw a watermelon rind, Mu Xu grinned and caught it, not angry at all.

Since he lost his parents overnight, he most longed for moments like these when he could play with his elders.

A son-in-law is half a person!

He had made up his mind to treat his father-in-law as his own father from then on!

So, no matter how much his father-in-law scolded him, he felt happy!

Li Laosi had no choice but to accept the rascal's attitude. The boy wasn't the most handsome, nor was his temperament the best, but he certainly had thick skin, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to wear down everyone at home until they were satisfied. Fu Nuer even felt a spark of affection!

Enough, enough!

Such a son-in-law accompanying his daughter, life will definitely be easy and happy.

As for the rest, whatever. She's so smart, she won't get taken advantage of!

Li Laosi, with his legs crossed, quickly made plans for his daughter to have a grandson soon after she got married!

The Lord, having eaten and drunk his fill, was slightly dazed and idly twirled a stick of grass in his hand.

One could say that I've spent most of my life fighting for the Heavenly Martial Arts, for the people. Now that everything is done, I'm truly lost at sea.

Jia Yin saw her adoptive father's strangeness and smiled, saying, "Father, my fourth brother said that the scenery in Jinguo is very good, with temples everywhere, and there are also many fruits. When we settle down in Quanzhou for a while, let's go to Jinguo to see my brother-in-law, sister-in-law, and nephew!"

The Lord recovered, smiling and nodding. "Good idea, actually, I've always wanted to visit those overseas countries."

“This is easy, we can just form a fleet at home, no worries about manpower. As long as I shout it out, even if others don't know, my brothers would probably fight over it!” Jiayin gathered all the leftover food scraps together, but didn't put them away.

Just then, someone suddenly shouted loudly.

The county princess is going to be disappointed, you can't go anywhere!

Everyone was startled. The Marquis and Li Lao Si immediately drew their long swords, and Mu Xu even pulled Jia Yin behind him.

And the woods before them also rustled and swarmed out over twenty people, stopping at a distance of two zhang.

Besides Jiang Cheng, the rest were dressed in gray robes, holding bows and arrows, with cold expressions.

Mu Xu was curious and asked, "Is this the legendary Grey-Cloaked Guard The Emperor's true helper, much more capable than those foolish Dark Guards!"

The gray-clothed people glanced at him without speaking.

Instead, Jiang Cheng stepped forward a few steps and sneered, "Even if Mu Protector praised us to the heavens, it wouldn't do any good today. You must die!"

Mu Xu rolled his eyes and retorted, "Don't flatter yourself. I'm praising those grey-clothed guards, not you. You're a coward hiding in the rear camp, doing nothing but feeding horses and cooking. Even if I praised you, would you blush"

I have to say, this is too vicious. It hit Jiang Cheng right in the feels.

He immediately flew into a rage and shouted, “Nonsense! I am a towering man of seven feet tall, a hero who stands shoulder to shoulder with the best. Hundreds of barbarians have died at my hands!”

It's all of you, it's you who kept me locked up in the rear camp, making me feed the horses and cook! Making me deal with all these trivial things!

“Otherwise, I’m no worse than you! I also contributed to retaking half the country!”

The Marquis frowned, rising to reply, "In your heart, have I always been one who favors relatives and intentionally suppressed you"

"Isn't that right" Jiang Cheng's face was ashen, he pointed at Li Laosi and questioned the Grandmaster.

“I was the first to follow you and support you! But as soon as Li Lao Si came, you immediately pushed me aside.

"

He, a newcomer to the camp, rose to the same rank as me in just one year. And that Li Dayong, a traitor who betrayed his own family, actually climbed above me!

Since you are being unrighteous, don't blame me for being so either! Furthermore, I am acting on the Emperor's orders. To kill you is also the Emperor's command, and it has nothing to do with me.

"Blame it on yourselves for defying the imperial decree, your arrogance and pride that led to this fatal demise!"

Li Lao Si was so angry that he raised his knife and charged, "You heartless wretch! You said before we were married, we would have two children!"

We always charge ahead, leaving you behind in the rearguard, just to give you a chance to survive!

You put it in your mouth, and it turns into oppression against you! Have you had your conscience eaten by a dog”

Mu Xu also chimed in, “Oh well, let's just say she's looking for an excuse. She betrayed us and went to serve the palace official, hoping for wealth and status, right”

For fear that it would spread and damage his reputation, he kept saying we were wrong.

"A coward is a coward. Don't expect him to be brave, stop dreaming about it!"

Jiang Cheng's eyes were red with rage, unable to vent his anger through words, he was about to make a move.

"Give me my bow and shoot these people!"

The gray-cloaked people, hearing the command, raised their bows and arrows.

Jia Yin frowned and spoke in a sharp voice.

"Wait, I have something to say!"

The grey-clothed people hesitated for a moment. Jiang Cheng sneered and asked, "What, are you still trying to use that trick you used on the Emperor on me That princess was mistaken! "

"I could never betray the Emperor, and besides, I have a house in Xin Du, the Emperor has given me wives and concubines, and I have two sons and a daughter!"

As he spoke, he beamed with pride.

Jia Yin gently shook her head, looking into his eyes filled with sympathy and compassion.

"General Jiang, all your wealth and glory are built on the Emperor's promises. But have you ever thought about what will happen to this lapdog of yours if the Emperor is gone"

The Emperor is gone!

Jiang Cheng's face paled instantly, and even the people in gray robes stiffened their necks!

"What nonsense are you talking! The Emperor is perfectly fine, are you cursing him to death!"

Jiang Cheng was a little flustered. Although he didn't know the details of the victory on Gusu, the sudden appearance of Jiayan here must have something to do with it.

Could she have heard something in Kyoto

Jia Yin didn't let him guess for long, and said with a faint smile, "The border is remote, I'm afraid it will be another day before we receive news. The Emperor has passed away, and now the new capital is in mourning!"

"The Heavenly Martial Empire is about to have a new emperor. It's our Shattered Gold Beach-raised prince, not that emperor you swear allegiance to! If you kill us, you won't get any reward, but will be exterminated by the new emperor!"

Today's update is here ~~ead sighed and reached for his pipe, but fearing he might smoke the children, he didn't light it. He could only give it a couple of empty clicks.The old man was a little lost. He had originally though...
