The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1715

Chapter 1715: 838 Grand Marshal Is Here! (Second Update)

This sound of "little chicken monkey" was simply a demonic noise from the heavens, causing a certain one-eyed pirate leader to shiver.

No way?

How could it be this kid?

And how did he recognize me even after I’ve disguised myself like this?

"You’ve got the wrong person!" The one-eyed pirate leader steadfastly denied it, turned around, and strode briskly towards the rail; he wanted to get off the ship.

If news got back to his son about robbing his own, the son would be upset with him.

He gestured to the little pirate: "Retreat!"

Little Jingkong trotted out: "Huh? Little chicken monkey, why are you leaving?"

The one-eyed pirate quickened his pace, adhering to the principle of "if I don’t get caught, then it’s not me," and walked briskly forward.

But just at that moment, the little pirate’s marbles fell out and clattered at his feet.

He stepped on them and landed face down with a resounding crash!

My back—

Chang Jing, is it not possible for you to go a day without sabotaging your young master!!!

Chang Jing glanced disapprovingly at Marquis Xuanping, picked up the marbles from the deck, wiped them on Marquis Xuanping’s trousers, and then put the clean marbles back in his silk pouch.

"Brother Chang Jing!" Little Jingkong came over to Chang Jing, lifted his little head, and raised his small fist, "Long time no see!"

"Mm, Jingkong, long time no see." Chang Jing nodded, extending his hand to meet Little Jingkong’s fist with his own.

Wang Xu looked utterly bewildered.

What’s going on?

You know each other?

What dialect are you speaking? I don’t understand a word!

Little Jingkong, being an unremarkable linguistic genius, switched effortlessly into Zhan Country language, which Wang Xu couldn’t understand at all.

But the people in the cabin understood.

Old Jijiu walked out with a solemn face: "Marquis Xuanping, how dare you neglect your duties as a marquis to become a pirate at sea?"

And saying things like "kill all their men, snatch all their women, and capture all their children!"

Listen to this, listen to this, is this something a marquis of a country should say? This is blatantly pirate-like talk!

Is this the result of your pirate-clearing mission at sea last year?

Instead of learning the good, you picked up all this scoundrel talk so fluently?

Marquis Xuanping had already calmed down, slowly got up from the ground, dusted off his sleeves with dignity and elegance, and smiled slightly: "Huo Jijiu, long time no see, I trust you have been well. I was just—"

The old Jijiu interrupted him, completing the sentence: "Just pretending to be a pirate to test our warship’s soldiers, but it seems these soldiers aren’t up to par, and I still need to personally step in to escort your highness."

Marquis Xuanping’s mouth twitched.

No wonder you write scripts, you can even guess these perfect lines?

Marquis Xuanping quickly changed the topic: "By the way, how come you’re on a Yan Country’s ship? You’re a Jijiu of Zhan Country, appearing with officials of Yan Country isn’t quite appropriate, right."

"Hehehe." What an improvement in the art of backhanded accusations, but alas Marquis Xuanping, this time you are not dealing with me!

The old Jijiu stepped aside.

Inside the cabin, the dowager empress walked out with an authoritative aura.

Marquis Xuanping’s gaze trembled, he looked at the old Jijiu, then at the dowager empress: "No way, you two... eloped..."

The old Jijiu burst out on the spot: "It’s not what you think!"

Marquis Xuanping looked at him quizzically: "If it isn’t, then it isn’t. Why are you so agitated?"

The old Jijiu raised his hand, straightened his attire: "I-I... was I very agitated? That’s because you ruined the dowager empress’s reputation?"

Wang Xu, not understanding Zhan Country’s language, simply watched them exchange words without understanding what was said.

Empress Dowager Zhuang looked at Marquis Xuanping steadily: "You, come with me."

Marquis Xuanping followed the Empress Dowager into the cabin.

Wang Xu propped himself up on the deck, looking at the little pirate with exceptional martial arts skills, then at the great pirate who seemed to obey the old lady’s every word, feeling a pinch in his chest.

Who are all these people?

If he had known, he wouldn’t have swapped missions with that Geng family kid; it would’ve been better to go with the Crown Prince to Chen Country.

Chang Jing and Little Jingkong stayed on the deck playing marbles, while Marquis Xuanping followed the Empress Dowager into the conference room.

Inside were two familiar faces—Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun.

South Master and Lu Master were attending to private matters in Shengdu and did not return with them.

There was also a stranger sitting in a wheelchair.
