Appointing a General as a Concubine: Where Can General Xiao Escape?

Chapter 171 Major General of the Eastern Army Camp

When she tore off this person's veil in Taoyuan before, she had a very familiar feeling.

At that time, she couldn't remember where she had seen this person.

She kept thinking about it on the way back, and finally she remembered it.

Lin lowered her eyes, and although she was still babbling, her mood had obviously changed.

Xiao Wenbo glanced at her, then looked at the person on the ground: "Although this person is from Lin's family, it doesn't necessarily mean that he was instigated by Lin.

She is now unconscious and would never do such a thing."

"We'll know if it's true if she tests it." Xiao Mo pulled the corners of her mouth playfully, her gaze still fixed on Lin's face.

Xiao Wenbo didn't understand what she meant and looked at her with a frown: "How do you want to test it?"

"This is easy! Someone, get the clamps!"

When Lin heard the last three words, she almost got so excited that she exposed herself.

The worried and frightened look in her eyes made Xiao Mo laugh in her heart.

Xiao Wenbo looked at Xiao Mo with an unclear expression, expressing his disagreement with her words.

But Xiao Mo would not tolerate him and watched coldly as the servants tortured the man on the ground.

"Why don't you show more compassion to your daughter as a father? Someone wants to harm your daughter and you don't care. Someone wants to assassinate your daughter and you also speak for the murderer.

Now someone wants to attack my daughter's benefactor, and the murderer is right in front of us, but you are speaking for the murderer and asking my daughter to do more good deeds."

She glanced at Xiao Wenbo with disgust and continued to taunt him, "Living Bodhisattva, the premise of accumulating virtue and doing good deeds is that no one comes to provoke me. Otherwise, if I die, what virtue will I accumulate?

Sometimes I even doubt that I am not your child, and those who hurt me are your children. Otherwise, why would you flatter them and speak for them? "

Xiao Wenbo was so angry at her words that he pointed at her and was speechless for a long time.

Murong Shu helplessly gave Xiao Mo a look, telling her to shut up and not say anything more.

Xiao Mo curled her lips, rolled her eyes, and raised her hand to signal the servants to take action.

Soon, the person kneeling on the ground let out a hoarse wail.

Xiao Mo crossed her legs contentedly and said calmly, "As long as you tell the truth and tell me who ordered you, you won't have to suffer this."

She said as she observed Lin's reaction.

The man on the ground gasped for breath with a painful expression and shook his head vigorously: "No one ordered me to do this."

"So you have a grudge against the people in Taoyuan?"

"No grudges."

"Humph, why would you kill her if there was no grudge? You've already trapped her with your own words.

I advise you to confess honestly, so as not to suffer in vain if you confess later when you can no longer hold on."

Xiao Mo raised her eyebrows and chuckled. Seeing that he was still stubborn, she ordered her men to increase their force.

Murong Shu dared not look directly at this cruel scene, but Xiao Mo, who had experienced the battlefield, did not feel anything.

After another round of punishment, Xiao Mo asked him again who was the mastermind behind it.

Even though his face turned pale with pain and his forehead was covered with sweat, he still said that no one had told him to do anything.

Seeing him so persistent, Xiao Mo became a little annoyed. When she increased her strength again, she heard the sound of his leg bones breaking.

Lin was horrified as he watched from the side. When he wanted to stand up and confess his guilt, he saw the dying man on the ground shaking his head at him.

Yes, he had been tortured to this extent but still didn't give her up. If she came forward and confessed now, all his suffering would have been in vain.

Xiao Mo has been paying attention to Lin's facial expression management and emotional changes.

I wanted to find evidence that she was acting crazy, but I didn't expect her to be so good at pretending. She was singing even though her eyes were red.

Just then, someone came from the front yard to report that the chief eunuch of the palace had come to announce the imperial decree.

This reminded Xiao Wenbo of Xiao Mo's brave protection of the emperor at the palace banquet today.

Could it be that the emperor has come to give her a reward? He thought as he led his men to the front hall.

Before leaving, Xiao Mo glanced at the man on the ground with disdain.

He's in this state and has no intention of letting go, so I guess there's nothing I can ask him.

As she passed by him, she paused and gave instructions to the servants waiting not far away.

"This man can't survive. Drag him out, beat him to death with clubs, and then throw him into the river to feed the fish."

Lin glared at Xiao Mo viciously, gritted her teeth in pain, and almost pounced on her.

In the front hall, after everyone arrived, the eunuch flicked his whisk, took out the imperial edict, smiled politely at Xiao Mo, and began to read it.

"It's up to heaven, the emperor decreed.

Female General Xiao Mo has made great contributions in protecting the emperor, and is specially appointed as Major General of the Eastern Army Battalion, in charge of 3,000 cavalry and 6,000 infantry.

From the day you are conferred the title, you must strictly observe your duties as a minister, be loyal to your duties, be strict with yourself, be diligent in the king's affairs, put the country first, and think of the country. Do not disappoint me.

Admire this. "

After reading the imperial edict, the father-in-law smiled and folded it and handed it to Xiao Mo.

Then he took out a token from his sleeve and said, "This is the military token of the East Army Camp. Please keep it, General Xiao."

Xiao Mo took the imperial edict and military token and nodded politely to the eunuch: "I thank you for your grace."

The East Military Camp was originally separated from the West Military Camp, and was taken over by Xu Renchuan after the leader got into trouble.

Now that the emperor has bestowed this position on her, it proves that Xu Renchuan has successfully become the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards.

Thinking of this, Xiao Mo couldn't stop the smile on her lips. She turned around to look at Shen Yun and found that she felt the same.

It seems that she also thought of this and is happy for Xu Renchuan!

When Xiao Wenbo and Murong Shu saw this scene, different expressions appeared on their faces.

After sending away the people from the palace, Xiao Wenbo changed his attitude just now in front of Lin, walked up to Xiao Mo and looked at her with a smile.

"Mo'er just said that the benefactor who saved you in Xijiang has been living outside the city.

"I think since she is your benefactor, she is naturally ours too. How about bringing her back home to live out her days in peace?"

Xiao Mo was shocked as if she had heard some nonsense. She turned her head to look at Xiao Wenbo with disbelief in her eyes.

"No, she likes quietness, and it's good for her to live outside the city."

Seeing this, Murong Shu also stepped forward and advised: "We didn't know before. If we had known from the beginning, we would have asked you to bring the person back."

Xiao Mo's eyes flashed as she thought about it for a moment. While she was hesitating, Xiao Wenbo spoke again.

"She lives outside, and you have to run back and forth every few days, and you can't guarantee her safety.

Today you were spared because you discovered it in time. What if someone wants to harm her again tomorrow without your knowledge?

Can you guarantee that you can protect her every time?"

The other words did not shake Xiao Mo at all, but these words touched her heart.

Yes, what Xiao Wenbo said makes sense. After all, the Prime Minister's Mansion is the safest place.

It just so happened that she also wanted to know whether Lin wanted to use the assassination of Feng Zhiqiu to deal with her, or whether she really had a grudge against Feng Zhiqiu.

If it was the former, after Feng Zhiqiu entered the mansion, if she dared to have such thoughts again, she would quietly kill her.

If it's the latter, then things are not that simple.

After thinking it over, Xiao Mo finally agreed to Xiao Wenbo's proposal.
