After the Disabled God of War Became My Concubine Chapter 77

Gu Changyun toned down the scope for Jiang Suizhou. Jiang Suizhou could roughly determine that this time, Pang Shao wanted to deal with Qi Min.

He had spared Qi Min for such a long time, only because Qi Min was not a threat to him. But once he became a threat, the venerable Qi Min would definitely be finished off by Pang Shao.

Jiang Suizhou knew that this had nothing to do with him. Getting involved would mean meddling with their affairs.

But he had to step in.

No matter if it was because of Pang Shao, Qi Min, or because of himself.

But, in later generations, there had always been disputes about whether Qi Min had contacts with Northern Liang, and he didn’t know if Qi Min really was in Pang Shao’s hands now, or if someone would frame him because of this ruse, and who would frame him.

The whole day, he was clueless, until the sky gradually darkened. Only when Meng Qianshan came to his room to light a lantern, did he suddenly feel himself aching all over, his head dizzy and light-headed.

He ought to rest.

He lifted his eyes. After sizing up his own deserted house, he stood up.

“Your Highness?” Meng Qianshan hastily moved toward him.

“This Prince will check on Madam Huo,” Jiang Suizhou said.

His decision was very natural, and he didn’t notice Meng Qianshan’s momentary smile of surprise. He got up and walked out, walking around the winding corridor, then walked up to Huo Wujiu’s door.

There was a maid who notified earlier that Huo Wujiu happened to be having dinner. When Jiang Suizhou entered, the table already had another bowl and chopsticks prepared for him.

Jiang Suizhou sat in front of the table, only to feel the muddled energy in his body cleared up.

Huo Wujiu lifted his eyes, but saw he hadn’t yet smoothened the space between his brows.

He paused.

Before this, he had never met a person who was this difficult to handle and so furiously helpless.

He felt irritated the whole day, and now that he saw the source that made him fidgety, by just looking at the other party, the accumulated emotions of the whole day were sealed by the gloomy and tired face of that person.

There was also only him that remained in his eyes.

Huo Wujiu was silent for a moment, but he couldn’t help opening his mouth.

“In trouble?” he asked.

Jiang Suizhou had just picked up his bowl and chopsticks when he heard Huo Wujiu ask this.

It was naturally useless telling Huo Wujiu these things, but he still really wanted to. Especially with him asking, he couldn’t contain himself even more.

There was a sense of a tired bird throwing itself into the woods*.

*tired bird throwing itself into the woods (proverb) - finding someone/a place to feel safe.

His hand stopped moving, before placing his bowl down and waving his hand. Meng Qianshan tacitly understood, and hurriedly ushered out the waiting servants in the room. He himself also withdrew, closing the door for them.

Jiang Suizhou picked up a dish with his chopsticks, and said, “After the ancestral temple collapse, if Pang Shao wants to take his anger out on somebody, who do you think is the easiest target.”

Huo Wujiu didn’t lift his eyes as he said, “The Ministry of Ceremonies.”

The Ministry of Ceremonies he was referring to was precisely Qi Min. Jiang Suizhou paused, staring intently at Huo Wujiu, his chopsticks hanging in midair.

How did Huo Wujiu know the outcome he had been analyzing for days?

Then, he saw Huo Wujiu look up at him. He said, “Pang Shao committed a big crime. Even if he can’t be punished, a part of the adherents can settle accounts with him. In the court, besides him, the Ministry of Ceremonies Qi Min is the most eloquent, and he’s also on bad terms with Pang Shao all year round. At this time, he will naturally overwhelm Pang Shao, giving him a disadvantage. In this situation, Pang Shao definitely won’t sit by and watch.”

Jiang Suizhou couldn’t help being impressed in his heart.

He had Southern Jing palace affairs at his fingertips, no wonder he was undefeated for years. This sole ability of knowing both the enemy and himself, it wasn’t something an ordinary general could possess.

Nodding, Jiang Suizhou said, “That’s right, this Prince also surmised as such. But Pang Shao is being careful, what he wants to do is still unclear until now.”

Huo Wujiu looked at him. He said, “Collusion.”

Jiang Suizhou was dumbfounded, then heard Huo Wujiu continue, “To kill Qi Min, this is the most direct and simplest way.”

Huo Wujiu’s opinion happened to conform with his, but he had so many historical materials as evidence, so how did Huo Wujiu think of it?

He couldn’t help but look Huo Wujiu up and down.

Huo Wujiu made him look a little uncomfortable.

It was only the result of Wei Kai’s report today regarding his lookout over the past few days. Although it wasn’t ascertained what Pang Shao wanted to do, he could guess bits and pieces.

He cleared his throat, then said, “Although Qi Min is at odds with Pang Shao, he has never been in touch with us. If caught colluding, he’ll be a victim of false charges.”

Jiang Suizhou slowly said, “To make false charges, evidence is definitely needed. So, there will definitely be someone who fabricates evidence against Qi Min for Pang Shao. The person who fabricates the evidence needs to be someone Qi Min has the most trust in…”

With this said, his eyes gradually brightened.

“I’ve sent people to investigate these two days, to see who actually has this motive! The person that most likely contacts Pang Shao secretly, and also has some relations to this…”

Huo Wujiu looked at him, and the chopsticks in his hand turned with ease, softly knocking Jiang Suizhou’s forehead.

“Go investigate his student, the one who won third place in the imperial examination ten years ago,” he said.

Surprise enveloped Jiang Suizhou’s face. “You know this, too?”

Of course he knew. This was what Wei Kai discovered yesterday, and had just reported to Huo Wujiu this morning.

Huo Wujiu paused, but swallowed down the truth.

“Of course,” he indifferently said.

“You’ve investigated for so many days, and you don’t even know this? When you have time, why not go do some proper business, instead of being openly lascivious with a concubine in the daylight.”

The author has something to say:

No prize Q&A:

What is General Huo’s special skill?

A. March to war, defeat the many with the few, sever the enemy’s head with an arrow in front of two battle formations

B. Be extremely jealous, peculiarly striving for favo
