Behind the screen embroidered with thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, a blurry figure can be vaguely seen, and the elegant scent of incense floats in the room, which is quite leisurely.
Shen Zhaoning suppressed the tension in his heart and walked behind the screen. The silver needle flew out of his sleeve and he raised the machine crossbow with his other hand.
The man reacted extremely quickly. He slapped the table and used the force to fly into the air and roll around, avoiding the silver needle.
When he saw the toy-like mechanical crossbow in her hand, a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes, but he didn't take it seriously.
"Miss Shen, why are you so hostile to me? At any rate, we have lived life and death together on the cargo ship. I saved my life, right?"
Yes, this person is Beigong Liangyu, the King of Chu in the Northern Desert. Shen Zhaoning was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that he hadn't returned to the Northern Desert yet.
Also, he was not clear about the rebels in the Southern Kingdom, and the weapons smuggling case was also related to him. Now that Jun Beicheng has obtained the accounts, it is strange that he can leave with peace of mind.
Looking at the man approaching step by step, her eyes became cold in vain, and she corrected in a cold voice: "It's a kidnapping. I think only dead people can keep secrets. There is nothing to talk about between us."
She didn't need to know whether Beigong Liangyu saw what happened that night, she just wanted him to shut up.
A flash of intense interest flashed in Beigong Liangyu's eyes. He had always thought that this woman was a weak little girl, but it was unexpectedly beyond his expectation.
But today he is not here to kill anyone, but to negotiate a deal.
Smiling, he grabbed the wooden crossbow that looked like a toy in Shen Zhaoning's hand: "You can't kill me, why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea with me and have a good chat?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the extremely sharp crossbow arrow flew past his neck, leaving horrific blood marks on his arms and neck.
The smile on his face froze for an instant, and he broke into a cold sweat after realizing that if Shen Zhaoning had wanted to kill him just now, he would have succeeded.
A toy wooden crossbow can be so powerful!
Shen Zhaoning took two steps back and stood within a safe range, and pointed the wooden crossbow at Beigong Liangyu again: "Do you think I can kill you?"
Beigong Liangyu glanced at the blood seeping out of his arm, chuckled, and beat the folded fan rhythmically in his palms: "Of course, but you don't dare to kill me, right?"
Indeed, before the princess went to Bei Mo to get married, if something happened to the King of Chu in Bei Mo in the Southern Dynasty, the court would definitely investigate it deeply. She just didn't want to cause trouble.
Otherwise, she would have killed Beigong Liangyu just now. The feeling of being threatened is really annoying!
"I also know a secret of yours. We can keep it secret from each other. Don't trouble me again, otherwise the crossbow arrow will appear on your neck next time!"
Beigong Liangyu looked surprised: "My secret? Tell me?"
Shen Zhaoning exhaled angrily: "The man with the scar on his face next to you is a shark. Is this a secret?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the smile on Beigong Liangyu's face gradually disappeared, his eyes became deep, and there was a faint murderous aura flowing through him.
His relationship with the Sharman tribe was probably his biggest secret. He didn't know how much the woman in front of him knew, or maybe he just saw it in the river.
Originally he only planned to trade, but now he has to consider whether to silence himself.
Shen Zhaoning didn't know what the man in front of her was thinking about. She just wanted to make a quick decision: "You and I both hold each other's secrets. It's better not to interfere with each other, otherwise we will only be able to defeat each other. What do you think?"
After a brief silence, Beigong Liangyu suddenly laughed, and the tail of his slender eyes became higher and higher, like a cunning fox.
It wasn't until Shen Zhaoning's face showed an impatient look that he stopped laughing and lowered his voice and spoke mysteriously: "Do you have evidence? No, but I have evidence that you are Princess Qi Shen Zhaoning. You don't have it now. Are you qualified to negotiate terms with me..."
At that moment, all Shen Zhaoning's luck turned into bubbles. Sure enough, he was discovered. Not only what happened that night, but also his old background was revealed.
Now she is more worried about whether Beigong Liangyu can find out about it, and whether Jun Beicheng can also find out about it through some channels.
The panic on her face couldn't be hidden at all. Beigong Liangyu saw the opportunity and quickly attacked and snatched the machine crossbow from her hand.
He held her neck with one hand and played with the mechanical crossbow with interest: "This gadget is quite interesting. Did you make it? Shen Zhaoning, the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Palace, Princess Qi, Shen Lin, the widow, and Beicheng, the king of war. Your beloved concubine can also make such an exquisite mechanical crossbow, what other surprises do you have?"
Shen Zhaoning's scalp was numb and he simply said: "How did you know?"
Jun Bei Liangyu didn't beat around the bush and blew his hot breath into her ear: "On the wedding day of King Qi five years ago, King Zhan chased the rebels to the moat outside the city and was assassinated. It happened that my king's people were also nearby. This No, I accidentally watched a live erotic palace. Who would have known that the bride of Prince Qi’s Mansion would be hanging out with the King of War outside the city..."
"Shut up!" Shen Zhaoning couldn't bear to listen and interrupted him. It was certain that the other party had really checked thoroughly and there was no adulteration at all.
The person who said that he happened to be present was probably colluding with the rebels and participating in it, so he happened to bump into him.
Beigong Liangyu let her go and sat down indifferently, poured the brewed tea into a crystal clear cup, and placed it on the opposite side.
Regardless of whether Shen Zhao would rather sit down or drink, he took out another golden hairpin and put it on the table.
That was the hard money Shen Zhaoning paid to the coachman that night when she left Kyoto. It was also the only valuable thing on her body.
"The King of War still doesn't know that your son is his flesh and blood, right? He doesn't even know that you are the woman who spent the night with him, and the reason why you hid it from him is because he will definitely not tolerate the woman who ruined his reputation! "
"Your sister, the current Princess Qi is also secretly tracing your whereabouts and wants to kill you to silence you. You have no way out now. Your secret is much bigger than mine. What do you think?"
Shen Zhaoning finally sat down. Beigong Liangyu had really grasped her biggest clue, which was related to her and her son's life, so she could only swallow her anger.
"Just tell me what you want me to do, no need to beat around the bush."
Beigong Liangyu gently shook the jade fracture fan in his hand, his smile not reaching his eyes: "The King of War has an account in his hand. I want you to take it out and give it to me. You only have ten days, otherwise your secret will spread throughout the world. Kyoto City.”
That’s what it was all about! Together with the half of the accounts she got from the corpse's memory, Jun Beicheng now had the complete accounts in his hands.
Although she didn't know why he stood still and did not hand over the accounts to punish the relevant people on the list, once she did so, she really pushed herself to a dead end.
Can Jun Beicheng tolerate a woman who ruins his innocence? Or are you more tolerant of a traitor who colludes with the enemy?
Both of them are quite scary, but the former at least has a chance to gain a glimmer of life. As long as Jun Beicheng can keep her, everything will be no problem.
But if she chooses the latter, she will be besieged on all sides, never have the chance to live a stable life, and her life will not be guaranteed.
