"And I happened to see my eldest brother leaving the house through the back door, so after he left, I forced these things out of his housekeeper, and then I asked his housekeeper to find his brother-in-law and come over to smooth things over for him. "Zhao Yanzhen said calmly.
Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but praise, "If my cousin knew that you helped him deal with the aftermath, he would definitely be very grateful to you."
Zhao Yanzhen only said noncommittally, "Maybe."
After saying that, he looked at Jiang Nianjiao and said, "But I'm not doing it for him, but for you."
Hearing what Zhao Yanzhen said, Jiang Nianjiao looked at Zhao Yanzhen in surprise and said, "For me? What does his matter have to do with me?"
"Aren't you always busy with the relationship between your cousin and Su Zhirou?"
Hearing this, Jiang Nianjiao felt as if her soul had been stabbed. She looked at Zhao Yanzhen blankly. At this moment, she felt as if she had forgotten what to say. It took a long time for her to say, "What did you say? How could I be so busy with their feelings? I have too much time to take care of myself."
Zhao Yanzhen still looked directly at Jiang Nianjiao. Under his gaze, Jiang Nianjiao once again had the illusion of being completely seen through. She even couldn't help but wonder if he could also see the existence of her system.
She couldn't help but crazily all the system: system! all! Will the person opposite me know my secret and discover your existence?
The system rolled its eyes silently. If it can be visualized, "I have told you that this person is dangerous, and you still don't believe me. You have to get entangled with him! Now you know how to be afraid, right? Let me tell you, if he is really If you discover my existence, both you and I will be finished."
Although Jiang Nianjiao didn't speak at this time, the expression on her face was very vivid. Her tearless expression seemed to be somewhere where he couldn't see her, and she was still communicating with another person he didn't know. generally.
But I don’t know if that thought is a god or a ghost.
Zhao Yanzhen still had that familiar smile on his lips, but his eyes were as cold as the full moon in the sky.
"Jiaojiao, you and I are both people who have experienced life and death once. If we have any regrets that we want to make up for, there is nothing to deny whether we should repay kindness or revenge."
"What's more, now that you and I are in the same boat, we naturally have to work together. Don't worry, your affairs are my affairs. As long as it is something you want to do, I will try my best to help you." Zhao Yanzhen was only gentle at this time promised.
His amber eyes were as thick as honey and as clear as lakes. At the opposite moment, Jijiao couldn't help but want to believe all his words.
Jiang Nianjiao felt that she had been greatly comforted. For a moment, she didn't even know whether she should listen to the unreliable system at the critical moment or believe in the handsome and flawless prince in front of her.
However, reason still prevented Jiang Nianjiao from telling Zhao Yanzhen her secret, and judging from Zhao Yanzhen's words, he obviously thought that he did this for the sake of his cousin's relationship with Su Zhirou to realize his dream.
Since he thinks so, let him think so. In this way, she can still get a powerful helper.
Therefore, when thinking of this, Jiang Nianjiao was extremely moved and said, "Your Highness... I am really scared to be treated like this by you. If you can trust me, if you have any orders in the future, just tell me, as long as I can do it." , I will not refuse even if I go through fire and water."
After hearing Jiang Nianjiao's words, Zhao Yanzhen suddenly covered his lips and chuckled, "Jiaojiao, I think we should go to Guan Gong Temple?"
Jiang Nianjiao heard this and asked stupidly, "Why are you going to Guan Gong Temple?"
"Blood is an alliance, and Taoyuan is a sworn brotherhood." Zhao Yanzhen joked with a smile.
After being teased like this, Jiang Nianjiao realized that what she just said really sounded like the words of a brother who worships his master, or the words of a benevolent master and loyal servant.
Thinking of this, Jiang Nianjiao's face couldn't help but blush slightly. Fortunately, Zhao Yanzhen stopped as soon as he saw it. He just smiled and held Jiang Nianjiao's hand again and said, "Jiaojiao, don't always call me His Highness in the future." Now, call me Ah Zhen or Yan Zhen, I want to be your lover, not your monarch."
Jiang Nianjiao nodded with a red face. She didn't know whether it was the moonlight that was too beautiful or the night wind that was too gentle.
When Zhao Yanzhen walked hand in hand on this street, she actually felt for a moment that her and Zhao Yanzhen's hearts seemed to be extremely close.
Ever since I became conscious, except for my aunt, no one has ever been so gentle to me. My mother died early, and my father's thoughts are on the woman next to him. The stepmother is a Qiangmo girl, and she hates her father deeply. How can I teach myself well?
It's not easy to find someone you like, but that person doesn't like you.
Although she had her aunt to protect her, she was beyond her reach.
Moreover, Zhao Yanzhen's tenderness and his aunt's tenderness are two completely different emotions.
If I could stay with this beloved person for the rest of my life, what else could I ask for?
After Jiang Nianjiao was successfully diverted from the topic by Zhao Yanzhen's words, Jiang Nianjiao saw pink bubbles popping up in her system, and she just shouted speechlessly: Host! Host! Wake up! Do you still remember that you have a mission? We are not in love now. Host, you are useless!
As the system wailed, Jiang Nianjiao finally got out of this romantic mood. Remembering that she had not done her business yet, Jiang Nianjiao felt a little uncomfortable and said, "Well, since you said so, Yanzhen, what can I ask you?" Question? Do you know where my cousin went? "
After asking this directly, Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but look at Zhao Yanzhen with a hopeful expression. After all, he had so many secret guards and was very scheming. Now that he discovered this, there was no way he wouldn't send secret guards to follow him, right?
Zhao Yanzhen looked at Jiang Nianjiao and said helplessly, "I did send secret guards, but for a while, the secret guards didn't come back to report, and I don't know where they are."
After hearing this, Jiang Nianjiao was somewhat disappointed, but then she thought of a possibility. Since Zhao Yanzhen had sent secret guards to follow him and had secret guards to protect him, and Zhao Nianze himself had martial arts skills, in this case, he might not be so easily in danger. Bar. @
When Jiang Nianjiao was thinking this, Zhao Yanzhen suddenly gently pulled Jiang Nianjiao's arm.
Just when Jiang Nianjiao was about to ask Zhao Yanzhen what happened, she saw that Zhao Yanzhen just pointed at the entrance of a Taoist temple.
Under the moonlight, I saw the infatuated young man who had disappeared just now heading towards the entrance of the Taoist temple alone.
It was nothing unusual for him to go to the Taoist temple, but he could see a red-maned horse with a white moon on its forehead tied to a poplar tree next to the Taoist temple.
The saddles and accessories on the horses are very luxurious, and you can tell at a glance that they are traveling among nobles.
Jiang Nianjiao naturally did not recognize the horse, but even though Zhao Yanzhen and Zhao Nianze did not interact with each other on weekdays, they were once brothers in the same world, and they still knew what each other was like.
In particular, the red-maned horse was a trophy from the equestrian competition between several princes that day. He lost to Zhao Nianze, so he did not get the horse, so he remembered the horse more clearly.
He said softly, "That horse is my eldest brother's horse. Now that the horse is tied here, I am afraid that others are also in this Taoist temple. How about we go in and have a look?"
When Jiang Nianjiao saw the infatuated young man and thought of the concentric knot, she was already a little wary. When she heard that the horse was Zhao Nianze's horse, she was naturally even more wary, so she just nodded when she heard this.
The two of them just followed the infatuated young man from a distance.
Following him around and around until they reached a small deserted courtyard, Zhao Yanzhen pulled Jiang Nianjiao and quickly hid behind a large camphor tree.
Then when the infatuated young man climbed up the stairs, a person suddenly jumped out from behind the mottled vermilion beam. At the same time, only a cold light flashed under the moonlight.
A long sword was quickly placed on the neck of the infatuated young man.
At the same time, Zhao Nianze, who appeared with a sword light and a dusty face, appeared.
He didn't even have time to change out of his wedding clothes at this time, so he only wore a cloak under his outer shirt. His heroic brows were as cold as a sword of cold light at this moment. He asked the young man coldly, "Where is Arou?"
The young man's eyes were like a pool of stagnant water that had been silent for a long time. He glanced at Zhao Yanzhen quietly and said calmly, "You're here."
Zhao Nianze didn't answer, but still put his sword against the man's neck.
The young man mockingly looked at his face reflected on the sword, and then slowly said, "Why is Your Highness Prince Liang so anxious? Since I invited Your Highness to come here, then
Naturally, he is ready to fulfill his promise, but I don’t know how Xiaolan is doing now? "
Zhao Nianze looked at the young man coldly and said, "She is very good. As long as you don't touch my people, I will naturally not do anything to her?"
After hearing this, the man just closed his eyes and chuckled, "Your Highness is indeed kind. I would like to thank Your Highness here on behalf of Alan. If Your Highness can trust me now, why don't you just follow me to the desolate view? Miss Su." inside."
When he said this, as if to prove that he had indeed kidnapped Su Zhirou, the young man only took out a purse with a medicinal fragrance embroidered with the word "Rou". This purse and the aroma in the purse belonged exclusively to Su Zhirou. of.
Zhao Nianze took the purse and was no longer suspicious. However, out of caution, he still put his sword against the young man's neck. At the same time, he only looked defensively towards the inner room where the dim candlelight was burning.
After arriving at the steps, Zhao Nianze only signaled the young master to push the temple door open, and the young man did so.
But as soon as the temple door was opened, a large stream of white mist sprayed directly from the inner room on the faces of Zhao Nianze and the young man.
Zhao Nianze then felt a trance in his mind and his hands became weak. After a moment, Zhao Nianze's sword fell to the ground with a clang.
And his whole body just weakened and fell to the ground.
On the contrary, the young man he was escorting remained standing without any reaction.
Apparently he took the antidote.
