The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1739

Chapter 1739: 851 The Truth of That Year (1st Update)

"What are you looking at?"

Tang Yueshan tugged at Gu Jiao’s sleeve, gesturing to the gap in front of the horse, "It’s time to move forward."

A long stretch had already cleared ahead, and the people lining up behind were getting impatient.

Even though entering the city wasn’t their choice, they couldn’t earn more silver by going in later, so they might as well finish early and go home to rest.

Gu Jiao said, "Nothing, just looking around."

The Black Wind King took a few steps forward.

At this moment, that carriage successfully passed through the checkpoint at the city gate.

The reason it was so smooth was because Gu Jiao noticed that the guards at the gate seemed to already know the carriage’s owner and let him in without any inspection.

Someone who looks so much like my husband—there’s only one in the world.

But wasn’t he sent by Shangguan Yun to a safe manor to take refuge? She had given the guards strict orders to prevent him from sneaking out.

—Of course, Gu Jiao thought that Shangguan Yun might not fully understand the nature of this son.

Even someone like Wang Xu could be so easily fooled—

The strange thing was, why was he at the border pass now? And looking quite comfortable in Pu City?

"What’s really going on?"

She didn’t think she had mistaken, but she also didn’t believe that guy had any reason to be on Jin Army’s territory.

Both scenarios were unreasonable.

"What are you mumbling about?" Tang Yueshan asked quietly, "Talking to yourself so early, is it because the Princess is here, making you think of your little husband?"

The Princess was Xiao Hen’s biological mother, so it was natural to think of someone when seeing someone related.

Gu Jiao turned to look at him: "How do you know the Princess is Xiao Hen’s mother?"

Tang Yueshan didn’t hide it: "The Dowager Empress and the old liquor maker told me, otherwise who would dare think about such a big secret? Speaking of which, Old Xiao has quite the luck with women, I also know about the time he saved that female slave from Yan Country."

Gu Jiao asked oddly, "How do you know about that?"

Tang Yueshan said casually, "I was there."

Gu Jiao: "Hm?"

Tang Yueshan’s face changed.

Oops, let it slip.

He said nothing, just expressionlessly picked up the mask from the ground and put it on, walking away without looking back.

The young Shangguan Yun stood there, staring dazedly at Xiao Ji’s retreating figure for a long time.

The look in her eyes was just like how I look at my sister-in-law... Tang Yueshan added in his heart.

After listening to Tang Yueshan’s story, Gu Jiao was surprised: "So the number one in Capital City’s Underground Martial Arts Arena was the Marquis Xuanping!"

No wonder he always appeared and disappeared like a ghost, ever since he had that back injury, he probably never went back there.

Thinking of something, Gu Jiao added, "Were you also in the Underground Martial Arts Arena?"

Tang Yueshan straightened his back, "Ahem, more or less."

Gu Jiao: "Mind your status."

Tang Yueshan grumbled and slouched a bit.

"What was your ranking back then?" Gu Jiao asked again.

Tang Yueshan chuckled, "I never participated in such boring duels."

Gu Jiao glanced askew at him, "So it seems your ranking was quite low."
