"Why should I care about you?"
Yang Dong glanced at him, a flash of disdain in his eyes.
But this question also stopped Wan Yanyue.
But she changed her mind and immediately said:
"I am the princess of Houjin. If something happens to me in your territory, you, the Zhou Dynasty, will have to bear the wrath of my Houjin cavalry!"
"When the time comes, Hou Jintie rides into the capital, and you, the Great Zhou Dynasty, will surely destroy all lives! So you must ensure my safety!"
The more Wan Yanyue spoke, the firmer her tone became.
That posture was as if Yang Dong owed her something.
Yang Dong frowned slightly. He did not expect that Princess Houjin would be so proficient in the use of moral kidnapping.
But... if you want to kidnap me morally, you are really thinking too much.
Have you not seen how hard I attacked on the Internet back then?
These moves of yours are too low-level.
But this Princess of Jin is not a fool. She at least guessed her purpose of saving her.
"Little barbarian girl, you really think too much."
Yang Dong still looked disdainful, as if he didn't listen to Wan Yanyue's words at all.
"The Houjin cavalry entrenched in Youzhou are just water without roots and cannot become a climate."
"As for you... I don't think the Lord of the Later Jin Dynasty will become enemies of both Great Zhou and Great Qin just because of a mere princess."
As soon as these words came out, Wan Yanyue's expression changed immediately!
Wait, what does he mean?
With Da Zhou and Da Qin being enemies at the same time... Could it be that Da Qin and Da Zhou have secretly reached some kind of cooperation?
Such an explanation is not impossible. Otherwise, everything goes well. Even if Great Qin wants a piece of the pie, there is absolutely no reason to take the initiative and intercept my rear Jin Tieji.
Thinking of this, Wan Yanyue's heart flashed with alarm.
If Da Zhou and Da Qin secretly join forces, then Hou Jin will be in danger!
But are the words of this great Zhou believable?
Wan Yanyue frowned in thought, and after a moment, she made a decision in her heart.
Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, it is obviously a fact that Da Qin sent troops. In this case, I need to report this matter to my father as soon as possible.
After gathering her thoughts, Wan Yanyue lost her previous arrogance. She pursed her red lips and turned to a pitiful posture:
"The guards I brought with me are all dead."
"So...can you please protect me for a while?"
"Don't worry, I will reward you with many jewels. And since you saved my life, I will definitely spare your life in the future."
"Don't worry about it in the future, I'm not interested in you."
Yang Dong's expression was cold, and he ignored Wan Yanyue's confused look and continued:
"It's not impossible to get my protection. But you have to show the corresponding chips."
"I... I will give you twenty thousand taels of silver!"
Wan Yanyue gritted her teeth and offered a price that she thought was painful.
But the next second, she saw Yang Dong casually take out several fifty thousand taels of silver notes from his pocket.
"Are you so poor? I tell you, I am not short of money."
"That……"
Wan Yanyue frowned again. At this moment, she felt more and more that the young man in front of her was unfathomable.
Not only is he talented as a poet, he also has a lot of resources at his disposal. The key is that he is so young!
What a pity, he is a eunuch. Otherwise, he would bring him back to Houjin no matter what.
Wait, I heard that the eunuchs of Dazhou seemed unable to...
In this case...
But I am the majestic Princess Jin...
While Wan Yanyue was struggling, Yang Dong took the lead in breaking the silence.
"If you want to get my protection, you have to promise me three things."
When Wan Yanyue heard this, a hint of vigilance flashed in her eyes.
She has already felt that Yang Dong is difficult to deal with. If he really promised him three things, wouldn't he...
"Don't worry, I will definitely ask for your consent before I ask you to do something."
"If you think it won't work, you can refuse."
"So, you're relieved, right?"
At this moment, Yang Dong's true nature as a businessman was instantly exposed. That ugly face looked very much like the wolf who abducted Little Red Riding Hood and opened the door.
But Wan Yanyue knew in her heart that she had no room for negotiation.
So she just pondered for a moment and then nodded slightly.
"Okay, I promise you."
…
On the second day, the attack on the Jin Dynasty mission was like a gust of wind, blowing through the streets and alleys of the capital in an instant.
Lin Mansion,
After Lin Chunqiu learned about this, he didn't even bother to change the old farmer's clothes, so he rushed to the government office with his sickle in hand.
When the prefect of the capital saw Lin Chunqiu dressed like this, his whole body went numb.
Without saying a word, he knelt directly in front of Lin Chunqiu and said tremblingly:
"Master Chief Assistant, you are here this time, but what do you want to ask your subordinates to do?"
"Hou Jin's envoy was assassinated!"
"How on earth did you become the prefect of the capital!?"
Lin Chunqiu growled, then slapped the prefect of the capital on the face with his backhand.
"I will give you three days to find the Princess of Jin."
"You want to see people alive, you want to see corpses when you're dead!"
The face of the capital magistrate suddenly changed and he immediately kowtowed:
"Please rest assured, adoptive father, the child will definitely find the princess of Jin Kingdom and take care of his adoptive father's worries!"
"Move quickly!"
Lin Chunqiu gave a cold command, turned around and walked out of the government office.
Shangqing Palace,
The empress sat in front of the desk, lowering her head to enjoy the tea handed to her by Yang Dong.
"So... Princess Houjin was rescued by you by chance?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. I arranged her in a remote place in the palace and asked Xichang secret agents to protect her secretly. I don't think there will be any danger."
Yang Dong nodded, but doubts flashed in his eyes.
"It's just that Your Majesty thinks who is so bold as to assassinate Princess Houjin in the Imperial City of Zhou Dynasty?"
"If his conspiracy succeeds, our lives in the Great Zhou Dynasty will inevitably be ruined."
"Xiao Dongzi, are you testing me?"
The empress' majestic gaze swept over Yang Dong. After a brief pause, she slowly spoke:
"This matter is quite strange, especially the people behind the scenes. The time they chose to take action is extremely sensitive."
"As for who it is, I don't have much idea. Maybe it's Hou Jin's trick, or maybe it's the work of those reptiles living in the shadows within the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"In short, Xiaodongzi, you have made great achievements again!"
"Tell me, what reward do you want?"
Today, the relationship between Yang Dong and Ji Ziyue has become much closer.
I saw him immediately coming forward, pointing to his cheek and saying:
"Your Majesty, why don't you... kiss me?"
"Xiao Dongzi, you are so brave!"
A blush appeared on the empress's majestic cheeks. She reprimanded softly, but took the initiative to put her red lips on it.
When Yang Dong saw this, he immediately stepped forward and took Ji Ziyue into his arms.
But at this moment, the palace maid's call came from outside the door.
"Your Majesty, the Queen has sent someone over to ask you to go to the Splendid Palace tonight to review the newly made dress that will be made by the supervisor."
"Do you think..."
