General is a Villain

Noon had passed.

The majority of the crowd dispersed.

Some went home to eat and some went home to rest. Soon, only her palanquin and her groom were left at the gates of the General's Estate.

He whispered with a smile, "Why is the general like this? What's the point of leaving the girl here?"

Ning Huan touched her and leaned close to the palanquin. She whispered, "The general has always been guarding the north and has long been treated as a thorn in the side by those people in the north. Who knows how many people have interfered with his marriage this time.

So the smell wasn't a hallucination. Someone really was trying to sneak in on her? So, in a place she didn't know, her wedding had been stained with blood.

In the sedan chair, Yi Xiaoqiao took a bite of an apple while a thought flashed through her mind. As she lifted the curtain to look, she discovered that both sides of the sedan chair were already surrounded by people. They were all wearing red clothes and looked like an ordinary wedding procession.

In other words, Muyi had long anticipated that someone would sneak attack her and had prepared people to protect her, but he didn't know who was the person who did it. Was it like Ning Huan said, Muyi's enemy, or was it the person who tried to kill her before?

Had Mu Yi An found something? Why didn't he tell her?

Thinking of what Lin Yi said that day, Yi Xiaoqiao's heart sank. She didn't like to be kept in the dark. If Muyi had told her, she would have made preparations in advance and wouldn't have been so nervous.

He didn't even have a defensive weapon by his side. What if something really happened to him?

Yi Xiaoqiao rubbed her head and felt the swaying step. Holding it in her hand, she felt slightly more at ease.

Suddenly, there was a bang.

A dissatisfied laugh came from outside, "Miss hasn't entered yet, how can you close the door! This is too much! "

"Heh, the general ordered us to close the door in advance!" The steward's complacent voice came from inside.

"You guys have really gone too far …" He stomped his feet in anger.

"Don't yell, don't scream, the young lady heard it!" Ning Huan lowered her voice and reminded him with a smile.

However, he did not know that the voice had already reached Yi Xiaoqiao's ears. The butler had purposely reminded her so loudly, so how could she not hear it?

She lifted the curtain and looked outside. The wedding nanny, matchmaker, and sedan bearers were gone, leaving only Ning Huan and the smiling man. There were also the guards that Muyi An had arranged.

Yi Xiaoqiao bent down and walked out.

Ning Huan hastily went to help her up. "Miss, why did you come down? You're covering your head."

"No need." Yi Xiaoqiao looked at the tightly shut gates of the general's manor and smiled faintly. 'You're trying to intimidate her, aren't you? I'll deal with you later!'

The sun had reached its zenith and it was the toughest time of the day. The guard's forehead was covered with sweat and although he was tense, his mind was already beginning to slack off.

"Everyone is tired." Yi Xiaoqiao whispered.

Ning Huan nodded. Anyone would be tired from working so hard in the morning.

"Lady, you don't have to worry. Go back to your palanquin and wait. The general will be back soon." Ning Huan consoled.

"Wait? Wait until when? I'm afraid he won't come back. "

Although Yu Heng didn't say it explicitly, Yi Xiaoqiao knew that the person in trouble was Princess Yun Jiao. It was because it was Yun Jiao that they had to hide, which was why Mu Yi An was so nervous.

Thinking of this, Yi Xiaoqiao's heart skipped a beat. Something had happened to Yun Jiao, and Muyi had left. The weather was getting hot, and the guards were lackadaisical.

"Huan, think of a way to prepare something for them to eat and drink."

Ning Huan swept a glance at the guards and whispered, "Miss, they all have a military order. They definitely won't leave."

When it came to food and drinks, the general's manor had them. They ate happily in the general's manor, but they had responsibilities, so they definitely wouldn't eat.

"Then bring it here."

"That butler wouldn't give it to us." He smiled and murmured, "If I knew this was going to happen, I would have prepared some silver and brought it here. Who would have known that I would be locked outside!"

Silver?

This phoenix crown was made of pure gold, it was dead and heavy, and its weight would not be light. If he sold it, he would be able to sell it for some money, even if he did not want them to eat all the food on the table, each person would drink a pot of chicken wine.

As she thought of this, she took off the phoenix crown. Her black hair flowed down her back like a waterfall.

Ning Huan was startled. "Miss, what are you doing? Why did you take the crown off your head?"

"Take it, take it. Buy something for them to eat." Yi Xiaoqiao shoved the phoenix crown into Ning Huan's arms.

"Miss, what did you say?" She felt like she was hallucinating.

"I said, give them something to eat. They are already tired of accompanying me, so I can't let them suffer any more grievances."

When the deputy general heard Yi Xiaoqiao's words, he raised his head and looked at her, thinking that she was just an ordinary girl, so he asked for the order to marry her to the general. Now, seeing that her hair was flowing down like a waterfall and she was wearing makeup, his serious face showed calmness.

He was shocked and stunned, but then he was impressed.

Having waited here for so long, his patience had almost run out. Yet, she actually wanted to exchange food for them as if she was fine. That was a phoenix coronet, how could an ordinary girl bear to do that?

"Miss, there's no need. We'll bring some rations with us!" With a wave of the deputy general's hand, everyone sat down in unison, took out dry rations and began to gnaw on them.

They were used to fighting in the army. Although they had come to Yu City, they would still bring food whenever they had a mission in case they didn't have time to eat.

Yi Xiaoqiao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Ning Huan hugged the phoenix crown and asked, "Are we still going to trade?"

"What do you want!" Right at this time, Cui Huang fell from the sky and said, "Do you know whose hand this crown came from? It was done by the Han family head. Do you know how hard it is to get him to be the phoenix coronet? And even to become it, the two of you are too generous. "

"Wasteland!" He poked little Joe in the head.

Yi Xiaoqiao was the innocent one. He thought to himself, Han Family Head? Who was that?

"Tsk, the General's Estate is truly rich. A phoenix crown can even invite the Han Family's Patriarch to make a move. Today, I shall take the justice of the heavens and take down all your shameless embezzlement!" Following the angry shout, a young man in white clothing pounced on Yi Xiaoqiao's face.

Cui Chen took a big stride forward, brandishing his broadsword and forced the youth to retreat. He sneered: "Heh, you think too highly of Muyi, don't you? Him?" You're so poor that you can't even grow lotus flowers in a lotus pond, and you still want to buy a phoenix coronet? "

The youth's face went grim and seemed to be slightly puzzled.

Cui Chen glanced back at Yi Xiaoqiao, who was researching the crown, and said proudly, "Little Qiao, don't worry. That crown was bought with our money, it had nothing to do with Muyi."

The smile on Yi Xiaoqiao's face froze, and his good mood instantly vanished into thin air.
