I traveled through time and space and found a mute boy: That’s enough, I feel sorry for him

Chapter 251 All-Desert

Qiao Jianhong knew.

"Qiao Wan told you?"

Qiao Jianhong chuckled softly: "Do you think she would be stupid enough to tell me this?"

of course not.

Xu Shu fell silent.

Qiao Jianhong didn't intend to explain to him, but just said: "I need Mu Jinghua to come back to Beijing to help me. Only he can do this."

"What can I help you with?" A bad thought flashed through Xu Shu's mind, "You want him to marry... Emperor Jing Zhao? So that he can help you gain power... Qiao Jianhong, you bastard!"

Xu Shu struggled to stand up, but he had no feeling in his hands and feet.

Qiao Jianhong saw his dissatisfaction and just said, "After the matter is done, I will let Chao Lin help you sew up your tendons. He asked before that as long as he can help you sew up within seven days, you will be fine."

"Are you willing to save me?" Xu Shu snorted coldly, "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

"You can't kill me in a short time."

There was a hurried knock on the door: "General, let him get away."

"Where are the others?" Qiao Jianhong stood up, opened the door, and then closed it.

But they didn't go far, Xu Shu heard his explanation clearly.

When Xu Shu learned that he planned to use his and Qu Xiu's lives to force Mu Jinghua to return to the capital, he suddenly felt a chill.

Is it true that there is no way to avoid the plot of returning to Beijing that Qiao Wan mentioned?

After a while, Qiao Jianhong threw Qu Xiu and others in again, ordered them to lock the door, and only gave them one bowl of soup a day.

Qu Xiu was not as seriously injured as Xu Shu, and he was not blindfolded, so when he came in, he saw Xu Shu's miserable condition and couldn't help crying softly: "Brother Xu, how come you have become like this too..."

Xu Shu didn't reply, but just asked him what happened.

Qu Xiu sobbed and explained to him what happened: "We should have been able to escape, but they actually added more troops to chase us and asked for a lot of external help. Several brothers were injured..."

"Brother Xu, do you think Junior Brother has also been caught up by them?"

Xu Shu was silent for a moment and said, "Probably not."

If Qiao Jianhong caught Mu Jinghua, he would definitely not treat him like this.

In other words, maybe Qiao Jianhong had no intention of capturing Mu Jinghua at all. His original purpose was probably to capture him, Qu Xiu and others, so as to force Mu Jinghua to go back to Beijing with him.

If Mu Jinghua was unwilling, even if Qiao Jianhong really forced Mu Jinghua to gain the trust of Emperor Jing Zhao, the result would only be counterproductive.

But even if I knew what Qiao Jianhong was planning, there was no way to stop him. Should I just do nothing and wait for Mu Jinghua and Qiao Jianhong to reach an agreement, and then watch Mu Jinghua leave?

Is he going to watch this kind of thing happen again?

Xu Shu just felt extremely anxious. He didn't know what was happening outside, and the feeling of being unable to wait was really terrible.

At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the end of the world. He held Xu Hua's broken body, waiting for death helplessly.

die……

He has been for a long, long time...

Xu Shu's eyes sank, and he suddenly said, "Qu Xiu, come closer and touch the ring on my hand."

-

After listening to Mu Jinghua's account of what happened, Jiang Yu said, "I think it should be Qiao Jianhong."

"Qiao Jianhong?" Mu Jinghua was shocked, feeling a strong sense of uneasiness that almost buried him. "He came here for Xu Shu. It must be...Xu Shu wanted to vent his anger on me..."

Mu Jinghua finished talking about Qiao Jianhong staying in Shiqiao Village for two years, but Jiang Yu frowned and said, "Maybe not."

He glanced at the lost Mu Jinghua and comforted him: "He probably didn't come here for Xu Shu."

Mu Jinghua blinked in confusion, and Jiang Yu said, "Calm down, this is just my guess, but whether the guess is true or not should be verified soon."

"What do you mean?" Mu Jinghua was no longer in the mood to think. He ran straight to Jiang Yu after coming down the mountain. After finally explaining what had happened, he found out that it was Qiao Jianhong who was behind all this.

The overly complicated situation left him with no clue what to do.

Xu Nangui handed him a cup of hot tea and patted his shoulder gently: "Don't be afraid, Xu Shufu is lucky, he will be fine."

Jiang Yu also nodded: "If I remember correctly, Qiao Jianhong once sent a team of people to capture you and bring you back to Beijing."

"Unfortunately, we encountered Fengdan's siege. Qiao Er is not a fool. Of course, he just needs to do what he wants. Before Qiao Er left, Brother Xu also advised him how to respond if Qiao Jianhong blamed him."

"I guess all this is probably just a trick by Qiao Jianhong to make Xu Shu and you let down your guard."

"Even Xiao Ran's generous decision to hand over the position of Yuzhou governor to Xu Shu may have been part of his plan. After all, with Brother Xu's talent, he must have believed that as the de facto administrator of Yuzhou, Yuzhou City was in his control."

"I became lax and fell into Qiao Jianhong's trap."

Mu Jinghua could not bear to hear his detailed analysis, and said anxiously: "But why do you say that he is not coming for Xu Shu? Qiao Jianhong is so deliberate, who else can he target besides Xu Shu?"

"You." Jiang Yu pointed at the table, signaling him to calm down.

Mu Jinghua pursed his lips and took a deep breath before calming down. Just as he was about to speak, there was a hurried knock on the door.

"Master, a large army suddenly appeared in Yuzhou City. They were led by Qiao Jianhong himself. He said that he wanted to have a talk with Master Mu in person."

Jiang Yu looked at Mu Jinghua: "Here I come."

Mu Jinghua stood up in confusion at first, but then he made up his mind and walked towards the door while saying to Jiang Yu, "I'll go talk to him."

"Wait, wait." Jiang Yu was a little helpless. He let Xu Nangui quickly pull him back to his seat, then sighed, "Don't be so anxious."

Mu Jinghua was dissatisfied: "Xu Shu and Senior Brother are all in his hands, how can I not be anxious?"

"It's no use for you to be anxious." Xu Nangui said, "If Qiao Jianhong comes for you, Xu Shu will be fine for a while."

"But if you fall into his trap easily, Xu Shu and your senior brother will really get into trouble."

Mu Jinghua hummed, clenched his hands tightly, and forced himself to calm down.

There was another hurried knock on the door, and this time it was Qi Huairen's voice: "Little Mujin, don't be afraid, Master is here."
