Half a month later, in the Sihai Palace.
Looking at Xing Zhong beside me, I smiled and asked, "I heard from the imperial government that I have found a place for you, are you satisfied?"
Xingzhong and Laner looked at each other, smiled, bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"
"Has the auspicious date been decided for the wedding?"
Xing Zhong looked overjoyed and replied: "Your Majesty, it is set on the second day of February."
I nodded: "Well, spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, okay. If I have nothing to do then, I will go and ask for a wedding drink!"
The two of them said happily: "We are waiting for you, Your Majesty."
At this time, somewhere in Xianyang City.
A man with a sinister look was discussing something with the big man opposite.
"Zhang Er, you thief, the price you gave us is too low. You are asking all over Xianyang and the world, who is more professional than our brothers in doing this? Isn't it because you stole the money given to us by the owner of the goods?" The leader of the big men said suspiciously.
Zhang Erthief rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Zhao Xi, what you are saying is meaningless. How many jobs have I introduced to you? When have I ever paid less than you? If someone like me can find a wealthy owner of goods, why don't you go out and ask around?" Asking, who else is there?"
Hearing this, Zhao Xi's heart skipped a beat and said, "One more gold! Just one more gold and I'll do it, otherwise there's no need to talk!"
As if he had cut out a piece of meat, Zhang Er gave his thigh a hard hammer and said, "Okay! I'm willing to give it all. Even if I can't make any money, I can't let Brother Zhao's hard work go in vain. Every extra gold will be an extra gold!"
Seeing Zhang Er's expression, Zhao Xi became suspicious. He is more familiar with Zhang Er than his own woman, and being able to add money means that he has much more money than this. But so much money...
Zhao Xi chuckled: "Zhang Er, tell me the truth, is the person in the painting really a pretty boy?"
Zhang Er said nonchalantly: "It's true! This is still false. If he hadn't committed adultery with the concubine of the cargo owner, he is such a pretty boy. Who would have spent so much money to let you kidnap him?"
Zhao Xi still had doubts: "The crime of adultery is not a small one. Report it to the official directly, and the official will kill him directly!"
Zhang Er made a look of disdain that said, "You really haven't seen the world." "You are used to being poor, so you don't know what rich people think. It would be boring to die directly, so you have to torture him until he feels comfortable." he!"
Zhao Xi didn't care about his expression and thought for a while.
Seeing that he was still hesitating, Zhang Er urged: "Are you going to do it or not? Don't waste my time. If it weren't for you guys living well and never making a mistake, I wouldn't be able to find someone to handle this matter. I haven't done it yet." Your prices are so high!”
Zhao Xi heard this and said, "In that case, my brother has taken the call, please do it!"
I had nothing to do this day. The last snow had just fallen, so this winter was quite peaceful.
I stood up and stretched my waist, and suddenly I remembered that there were some plum blossoms in Weishui Garden, which must have bloomed, so I asked Xingzhong and Meng He to accompany me to the Garden.
Since it was time to relax, I only took the two people from Xingzhong and two guards with me. I walked out of the palace leisurely and walked towards the garden in light clothes.
The weather is still relatively cold, as the saying goes: If it snows and it doesn’t get cold, it will turn into snow.
A few people and I walked and watched.
Since the reform of farming and corvee labor, the number of people in Xianyang City has increased significantly. In the past, there were almost no people selling grain in winter. Everyone stored grain to ensure that they would survive the winter. Now there is an endless stream of convoys selling grain in the market. It seems that it is right to develop farming first. Only when people fill their stomachs first can they have surplus food for trading.
I'm in a good mood too.
A few people walked to the Weishui Bridge. I looked up and saw that the Weishui River was like a blue dragon, flowing slowly across the city of Xianyang against the backdrop of the snow-covered land.
While I was admiring the scenery in front of me, something happened suddenly!
I saw several big men suddenly rushing out from both sides of the bridge, holding sacks, and rushed towards me quickly.
Several people in Xingzhong saw it and immediately stood in front of me.
The big man at the head is none other than Zhao Xi!
I saw Zhao Xi holding a sack, moving quickly, and shouted to another person: "Third brother, hold them back!"
Three strong men holding sharp knives immediately faced the prisoners and stabbed forward with all their strength. Xing Zhong took out the sword from his waist, ducked and pushed the sharp blade aside.
Just as I was about to swing my sword to slash the incoming person, I suddenly caught a glimpse of Zhao Xi holding a sack, using the railing to jump up and rush toward me. The long sword in his hand suddenly sheathed, and he shouted to Meng He: "Behind!"
Meng He didn't look back and slashed straight to the side with his sword! When Zhao Xi saw Meng He's long sword coming, he had to forcefully twist his body and fall to the ground.
Seeing that I was fine during the execution, he immediately stepped forward and subdued the four of them in a few strokes.
Looking at the four people lying on the ground, I felt terrified.
The last time I was attacked in Chengshan, I hid in the carriage the whole time and didn't see any fighting. Now four gangsters armed with sharp knives were so close to me. I was so scared that cold sweat broke out on my back.
At this moment, Zuo Qie hurried over with the imperial army.
Seeing that I was fine, he bowed and said, "The end will come later. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
The eyes of Zhao Xi and the other four people almost popped out of their heads. Aren't they talking about pretty boys? ? Why is he the emperor? ? ? ! !
I snorted coldly, didn't reply, and walked straight to Bieyuan.
When I arrived at Bieyuan, I looked at Zhuoqi who was standing aside and said coldly: "Zhuoqi, you did a good job as a guard!"
Although the ice and snow had not yet melted, he was already sweating profusely. He lowered his head deeply and replied with a trembling voice: "I have neglected my duty. Please forgive me!"
Ignoring him, I looked at the four people who were pinned to the ground and asked, "Who are you? Do you dare to assassinate me?"
After Zhao Xi heard that I was the emperor, his legs became weak and he was trembling. He replied tremblingly: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, villain, I didn't want to assassinate Your Majesty. Someone asked me to kidnap Your Majesty. If so, Knowing that the person being kidnapped is Your Majesty, I don’t dare to lend courage to a villain. I beg Your Majesty to spare my life, spare my life!”
I frowned, I was actually being instigated by someone.
"Who ordered it?"
"It's Zhang Er! Zhang Er gave the villain a painting and ten gold pieces, saying that your majesty..."
Zhao Xi secretly raised his head and looked at me.
Xing Zhong shouted loudly: "How dare you offend Tian Yan? I'll bring you the truth!"
Zhao Xi quickly lowered his head and murmured: "Zhang Er said that His Majesty is a... pretty boy who had an affair with the concubine of the cargo owner, so the cargo owner paid us to kidnap His Majesty and hand him over to them..."
"presumptuous!"
"Asshole!"
Xingzhong and my voices sounded at the same time.
I was furious: "You bastards! Do you think I look like a pretty boy?? You are blind! You are such bastards!! A dog can't spit out ivory from its mouth!!!"
TNND, I originally thought that someone was jealous of my money and power, but I didn’t expect that someone came after my appearance!
When several people heard this, their faces turned pale with fright, and they shouted for mercy.
I stabilized my mind and said sternly: "Where is Zhang Er now? If you tell me, I will spare your life!"
Not only does this person know my whereabouts, he also has my portrait in his hands! There are only a handful of people who can see me, so there must be someone behind this.
Zhao Xi said hurriedly: "Zhang Er's whereabouts are uncertain, and I don't know about it either, but he must still be in the city waiting for our reply!"
At this time, the guards ordered Bai Yan to come in and report that a body was found drowned not far from where I was attacked.
I asked Zhao Xi to identify it, and sure enough, it was Zhang Er!
It's not that simple to assassinate me. These idiots came here to give me a blow!
Looking at the four people who kept begging for mercy, I knew that I couldn't ask anything from them.
I was so angry that I laughed back: "Spare you? It's not difficult! I always value talents! Can you make a nuclear bomb with your hands?"
Zhao Xi and the other four were stunned when they heard this, and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, what kind of egg?"
I was furious, stood up and shouted: "You can't even rub a nuclear bomb with your hands! What use do you have! Pull them out and cut them into pieces!"
