After I Married the Disabled War God As My Concubine - Chapter 218

Huo Wujiu didn’t return until very late that day.

Jiang Suizhou knew that Huo Yuyan asked him to stay behind, so he didn’t worry. When Huo Wujiu came back, he was already leaning on the headboard drowsily.

When Huo Wujiu entered the door and saw him dozing off, he raised his hand and waved away the people waiting in the room. He gingerly walked to the bed and sat down on the edge.

Jiang Suizhou was a light sleeper and woke up in a flash when he sat down.

“Is it done?” he asked softly.

Huo Wujiu answered with a soft muffled grunt and leaned forward to kiss him.

“In two days, I’m going to send you out of town as I told Huo Yuyan.” He said, “Everything’s already taken care of on Lou Yue’s side. When leaving the city gates, he will have someone switch with you. Afterward, you will stay in Lou Yue’s camp.”

Jiang Suizhou hummed, and then said with some worry, “Although the traps set this time have been arranged properly, you should be careful yourself.”

“I’m fine.” Huo Wujiu replied, “It’s just that during this period, I won’t see you for several days.”

Jiang Suizhou responded in a low voice.

Huo Wujiu sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes staring at him deeply for a while.

“So, these days, you are not allowed to miss three meals a day. Also, you must take all the medicines Li Changning prescribes for you. You’ll have no one around to take care of you this time, so you only have to ask Lou Yue if you’re missing anything. If I come back after a few days and see you thin, I will settle the score with Lou Yue.”

His serious tone made Jiang Suizhou burst out laughing.

“I’m only going to stay in Lou Yue’s camp, what can I do?” After speaking, he sat up and smiled. “Besides, General Huo did a full set of dramas today, so you must not show any more lingering thoughts about me, a disgraced little pretty boy.”

When Huo Wujiu heard this, he issued a somewhat unhappy tsk.

This was indeed what he and Jiang Suizhou had discussed. When he let Lou Wanjun watch Huo Yuyan bully that poor scholar privately that day, he came up with this solution.

Jiang Suizhou has always wanted Huo Yuyan to stir something big and reveal his faults, and starting with Lou Wanjun was the perfect way to do it. Huo Yuyan wanted to use her, but his methods were dishonorable, so he naturally had a guilty conscience.

If he made a scene and poked him publicly, he would definitely hold a grudge.

Huo Yuyan had always exacted revenge reasonably. But he has always been cautious. If his enemy’s background was strong and difficult to easily shake, then he would not dare to act rashly, and only dared to act in the dark.

And if his enemy had nobody to rely on, nor had a backer with a formidable momentum, Huo Yuyan would carry things out swiftly and ruthlessly, and never let himself have a long night fraught with dreams.

Things carried out in the dark had always been prudent, and it was difficult to seize evidence, but if it was a lightning decision, coupled with a messy surprise attack, there would be many loopholes they could penetrate.

For this reason, the spearhead this time was directed at Jiang Suizhou.

Jiang Suizhou’s arrogant and domineering image was already established in front of Huo Yuyan, and if the ‘backer’ behind him was removed at this juncture, it would inevitably give Huo Yuyan the illusion of an opportunity.

After all, with Huo Wujiu sheltering Jiang Suizhou, he did not dare to act against Jiang Suizhou with Huo Wujiu sheltering him. But, when Jiang Suizhou was abandoned by Huo Wujiu, he could no longer be mentioned in the same breath.

As long as he took action, he would easily give the game away, so then they could accuse him of a crime.

As for what kind of crime he would really be guilty of, and what kind of image he would have in the rumors around the world, it was up to Jiang Suizhou and Huo Wujiu to decide.

Huo Wujiu’s plan this time was to swap himself with Jiang Suizhou on the way south, so that Huo Yuyan’s original plan of assassinating Jiang Suizhou would turn into assassinating Huo Wujiu.

When that happened, people all over the world would know that Huo Yuyan was someone who would cast someone aside after he has served his purpose, someone who would slay his lackeys when they had outlived their usefulness.

Huo Wujiu’s plan was considered to be comprehensive, but after devising a lot of plans, he forgot to consider how he would spend the two days before his departure.

Of course, he couldn’t stay in Jiang Suizhou’s room any longer because he had to play the drama to the fullest.

Huo Wujiu shut his mouth.

Looking at his non-violent non-cooperative look, Jiang Suizhou couldn’t help but issue a series of laughter. With a warm voice, he continued, “I am not joking. Now is the critical time for Huo Yuyan to take the bait. We can’t let him get suspicious again.”

When Huo Wujiu heard this, he raised his eyes and sized him up.

“What’s going on?” After he finished sizing him up, he looked straight into Jiang Suizhou’s eyes that were brimming with laughter. “It looks like you’re quite happy to kick me out, am I right?”

Jiang Suizhou blinked and immediately stopped laughing.

But it was already too late.

Huo Wujiu has long been used to staying with him, and to teach him to sleep elsewhere was already unpleasant for him. Now that Jiang Suizhou laughed, it gave him an opportunity to vent his pent-up feelings on some extraneous pretext. He leaned forward and pressed Jiang Suizhou on the bed.

Although he knew that it was not the time to be fooling around, when he went out, it was already an hour later before he left.

Meng Qianshan was waiting at the door and listened to a few pretentious smashes inside. Afterward, he saw Huo Wujiu pushing the door and striding out.

A trace of feigned anger painted his face, but after taking a sneak peek, Meng Qianshan discovered a red blush filled with contentment beneath his anger.

“Tell your master to reflect. Don’t be arrogant and think he’s still a Prince.”

Huo Wujiu stopped in front of Meng Qianshan, and gave him a sidelong glance as he said this.

Meng Qianshan received his signal and hastily nodded in response.

Afterward, Huo Wujiu strode away.

His pace looked as if he had wings on his feet, and at a glance, his master had just suffered a lot from him.

Meng Qianshan retracted his gaze and couldn’t help but sigh.
