310. She Can Be So Beautiful.

When State Preceptor saw Xiao Baoshan looking behind him, he also turned around.

Then just at that glance, State Preceptor was stunned too.

It was Ye Xiaoxian and Jin Xiaoyu who were strolling gracefully over. Everyone knew Jin Xiaoyu as she was famous for her charm, yet what was astonishing was Little Ye. She changed into a pink dress, had makeup put on, and combed her hair, which made her look like a new person. She was as elegant as a water lily, and also as beautiful as a fairy who walked down from a painting.

Xiao Baoshan stared blankly for a while, and the same was true for State Preceptor.

Xiao Baoshan looked at Little Ye, because he never thought that his wife would have been such a beautiful and graceful lady.

As for State Preceptor, he seemed to see someone in Little Ye.

How could it be… so alike?

The present Little Ye looked like that person at the young age.

When Ye Xiaoxian walked over from afar, she saw Xiao Baoshan and State Preceptor watching her.

‘Come on, I just dress myself up. Is it really… that good?’

After she transmigrated, she had to admit that the original owner of this body was pretty beautiful. Yet, as time went by, no matter how good her appearance was, she was used to it. In addition, she had been living at the bottom of the society, so she gradually accepted her identity as an ordinary citizen and a farmgirl.

She had never expected to look so striking here in the capital city after dressing up.

She couldn’t help but feel regretful again. It was such a pity that she didn’t transmigrate as a daughter born in an established family.

Thinking about it, she approached Xiao Baoshan.

After not seeing each other for so long, she naturally missed him.

However, before she could reach the pavilion, she was stopped by Wan Shijie.

Wan Shijie didn’t let Little Ye get close to Xiao Baoshan at all. He only said, “Madam, I’m sorry. It’s not the time for you to meet.”

“If not, then why do you let us to come out to meet?” Ye Xiaoxian asked.

Xiao Baoshan also stood up and wanted to approach Ye Xiaoxian.

But State Preceptor suddenly reached out to stop him.

“General Xiao, take it easy. I said that I will let you meet, so I will definitely not break my promise. But I also just said that Madam Xiao is still weak and needs to stay in the residence for some time, so I have to trouble you to wait patiently. Well, someone, take Madam Xiao back to her room first!”

Wan Shijie said to Ye Xiaoxian, “Madam, please go back.”

“What… I just saw him! He is my husband, and we even are not allowed to have a talk?” Ye Xiaoxian asked.

Wan Shijie said, “There’s still time, and you two get plenty of chances to talk. Madam, don’t worry!”

Of course, Ye Xiaoxian was reluctant to part with Xiao Baoshan, and Xiao Baoshan was also a little impulsive.

At this time, there was a ruckus from the rooftops on all sides. When they looked at the roof again, there were archers and hundreds of arrows were aimed at them.

No matter how powerful their martial arts were, there was no way to bring Ye Xiaoxian out of State Preceptor’s residence alive.

How could Ye Xiaoxian not understand such a situation?

With Wan Shijie’s intervening, she only said to Xiao Baoshan, “Baoshan, I’m fine here. Don’t worry too much about me. Take care of yourself and do what you think is right!”

Wan Shijie said coldly to Ye Xiaoxian, “Madam, you are talking too much.”

Jin Xiaoyu scolded, “You never talk to your wife?”

Wan Shijie pointed a knife at Jin Xiaoyu. Jin Xiaoyu still scolded, “What’s the meaning of bullying a woman?”

Ye Xiaoxian pushed away the knife in Wan Shijie’s hand and pulled Jin Xiaoyu over, “Xiaoyu, it is a waste of breathing to talk with such a huge crap-weasel. He told us to go back, then let’s just go back.”

A huge crap-weasel? What was it?

Wan Shijie didn’t know its meaning.

However, Ye Xiaoxian did not pay much attention to it. After holding Jin Xiaoyu’s hand, she waved at Xiao Baoshan and walked back elegantly.

……

In the pavilion, Xiao Baoshan did not sat down until he couldn’t see Ye Xiaoxian.

At this moment, he started drinking. He picked up the glass in front of him and drank it up.

State Preceptor smiled again. “General Xiao, are you shocked when you see your wife? To be honest, I was also quite shocked. As a woman, she just should be pampered like this, being cared with delicious food and delicate clothes, so that she would look like a real woman. You used to make her work in the countryside, kill cows and sheep. You see, is that what a woman should do?

Xiao Baoshan was silent.

To be honest, he was still immersed in the shock just now. How could his woman be so beautiful!

Therefore, he had some doubts about whether he had treated her unfairly over the past few years and didn’t let her live a good day.

State Preceptor added, “Try these dishes again. Your lady is very good at cooking. She also gave the recipe to my chef. According to her recipe, the desserts and dishes that my chef made are very compatible with my appetite, especially the abalone and the ginseng chicken soup. However, these ingredients are very expensive. Your lady knows how to cook them, but no matter how good she is at cooking, she can never cook without proper ingredients, what do you think?

Xiao Baoshan also had some dishes on the table.

They were indeed delicious. He had never eaten these dishes before.

Seeing that Xiao Baoshan was willing to eat, State Preceptor said proudly, “Since you’re willing to eat, that means you agree with my idea, right? This time, I invite you over mainly because I need your help.”

“State Preceptor, please tell me,” Xiao Baoshan said.

Actually, he had already guessed a bit.

State Preceptor smiled and said, “The north is currently at war, do you know?”

Xiao Baoshan said deliberately, “I’ve been recovering for the past two years, so actually, I don’t know.”

“The people who are fighting for our country now is a group of crooks. They used to be some desperados who were against the imperial court, but now they are on the border to fight. It’s better if they could win. But if they lose, it would be embarrassing for imperial court.”

Xiao Baoshan asked, “State Preceptor wants me to help.”

“Of course I want you to help, but…” State Preceptor suddenly laughed again, “It’s not now, but after a while, when they have almost exhausted the Northern Qing Army, you will pretend to be a troop from the Northern Qing Army, go out, and then…”

State Preceptor gesticulate to kill someone.

At this point, Xiao Baoshan suddenly felt frozen.

This scene was really deja vu!

Back then, they had spent a long time with the Northern Qing Army. Just when they were about to win, the Northern Qing Army suddenly increased their military strength and killed many of them by surprise. Then, in turn, who was the one who defeated the Northern Qing Army?

Could it be a State Preceptor’s scheme?

“General Xiao, are you alright?” Seeing that Xiao Baoshan suddenly didn’t say anything, State Preceptor quickly asked him.

Xiao Baoshan snorted coldly.

“Do you need time to think about it?” State Preceptor asked, and then smiled, “It doesn’t matter. You have plenty of time to think about it. As long as you have made up your mind, you just come to reply me. Anyway, you have seen your Madam in my residence, she is well taken care of, but… if you think that you can’t do it yourself, then I have to find someone else to do it. At that time, then she would not be treated like this. You are a smart person. I believe that you won’t leave her alone, right?

Xiao Baoshan stood up and said, “Thank you for your treat today. I might as well call it a day and visit you next time.”

“That’s ok, any time, you are welcomed, but don’t let me wait too long. I don’t have the patience to wait for someone,” said State Preceptor.

……

No sooner than Xiao Baoshan and Little Black came out of State Preceptor’s residence had they been picked up by people of the Sixth King.

In any case, it was already an indisputable fact that Xiao Baoshan and the Sixth King were friends.

So this time, as Xiao Baoshan came back, it was not inappropriate to live at the Sixth King’s residence.

As soon as he arrived at the Sixth King’s residence, after some necessary etiquette, Li Chengyi, Li Chengru and Xiao Baoshan sat in front of a small square table for tea.

Li Chengyi asked, “Did State Preceptor call you over because of the war in the north?”

Xiao Baoshan nodded and explained State Preceptor’s plan with his fists in his hands. Then he said, “I suspect that State Preceptor used this method to deal with the Fourth King and me. That’s why our Qi Army was wiped out in the north completely at that time.”

“How absurd!” Li Chengru was so angry that he clenched his fists, “If that’s the case, then I really suspect that it is State Preceptor who did this. I think we should stop waiting. We might as well ambush and secretly kill State Preceptor. Then we rescue Little Ye and escape from the capital city. Thus, establish ourselves as a kingdom in the southwest!”

“Seventh Brother, please don’t be impulsive. This idea is very inappropriate. If we do this, we will likely end up with a charge of treason. Besides, we can’t claim the crown. This is a disgrace to the ancestors and will split the political branch.”

“Can it be that we don’t revenge for Fourth Brother?” Li Chengru asked.

“Of course, we have to revenge but not now. Besides, we don’t have any evidence. You know, killing State Preceptor is a small matter, but after killing him, it will definitely involve our wives and children as well as the citizens of Baoning City. How many people will die because of our actions? ”

Li Chengru listened to Li Chengyi’s words and his anger slowly faded.

But he was also filled with resentment towards State Preceptor.

‘That old fart, don’t fall into my hands! Otherwise, I would make your life suffer and beg for death!’

Seeing Li Chengru’s anger go down, Li Chengyi asked Xiao Baoshan, “Baoshan, what are you thinking now? Little Ye is indeed at State Preceptor’s mercy. If you don’t follow him, then probably you also wouldn’t be able to save her out either.”

Xiao Baoshan said, “When I entered State Preceptor’s residence, State Preceptor had given me a disgrace. His residence is heavily-guarded, as he has raised many archers and men of sacrifice. The entire State Preceptor residence is quite impregnable. Even if there are more skilled masters like me, I can’t save Little Ye.”

“What should we do?” Li Chengru asked, “We can’t just watch Little Ye die.”

Xiao Baoshan replied, “It still needs to be discussed. It is best if we can find a way to get both the best. If we can’t find it, I also cannot agree to State Preceptor. If I can’t save Little Ye, I will die with her.”

……

At the State Preceptor’s residence.

State Preceptor was still drinking at the pavilion.

After a few drinks, he ordered the general manager to bring Ye Xiaoxian over and only her alone.

Half a quarter later, Ye Xiaoxian was brought here.
