Zhang Xiang was nearly sixty years old and could not withstand the almost torture force of Alekhon. His face was bruised by the collar, and the wrinkles on his face became more rugged because of this:
"Things, ahem - the incident happened suddenly, and I didn't expect that two more fish would slip through the net!"
The key point is that these two fish that slipped through the net are so powerful.
Alhom let go of him and stabbed the long knife in his hand into the table: "Since Prime Minister Zhang is not doing his job well, there is no need for us to continue to cooperate in the future."
He now wished he could chop off the head of the cunning old man in front of him with one knife.
In order to win this polo match, slap Yan Xiu in the face, and destroy the majesty of Great Qin, Beiliang united with the other six countries to secretly send countless rare treasures to the prime minister's palace. These treasures were enough to buy countless cities.
But even if Zhang Xiang had the guts to spend these properties now, he wouldn't dare to spend them.
Yan Xiu has ordered a strict investigation on the Daqin polo team's bad stomach. With the speed of the dragon guards, they can trace the clues to him before returning to the capital.
When Zhang Xiang sneaked out of the Beiliang camp, his face was as pale as a vegetable. If it weren't for the large official robes covering his body, his legs would have been weak and trembling. He was walking on a quiet and uninhabited path, walking as fast as flying. , while desperately thinking about countermeasures in his mind.
But it happened that at this moment, he met someone.
If the people of Da Qin find out that he has a deal with the people of Beiliang, then it will be a big deal!
"I have met the Prime Minister."
When he saw the person in front of him clearly, Prime Minister Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and immediately returned to his usual majestic and commanding demeanor: "Chen Shangshu, I think you understand what should be said and what should not be said."
Chen Rang bowed again and said, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, works day and night for the country, which is the blessing of the Qin Dynasty. How can I have the heart to talk in front of others?"
Zhang Xiang brushed his sleeves and left with his hands behind his back: "It's better to save Chen Shangshu's flattering words in front of the Queen Mother!"
Being humiliated by him again and again, Chen Rang always looked humble and free and never defended himself.
When Zhang Xiang walked away, Chen Rang let out a sneer, and the respect in his eyes disappeared instantly.
…
In the Emperor's Dragon Tent.
Yan Xiu lay half-ly on Zhu Sijia's lap, closed his eyes and rested, letting her pair of small catkins massage his hair flexibly.
Now is the lunch break, and the entire Xihe Valley is quiet. From time to time, the sound of birds flying past and flapping their wings can be heard from the top of the tent, as well as the sound of wind coming from the wilderness. The two complement each other, adding a bit of interest and not seem boring.
"Blessings to the beauty." Yan Xiu suddenly opened his eyes, held her hand that was being carefully massaged, and used her hand to stand up. His handsome face looked straight at her, "Thanks to my brother-in-law for what happened today. Can you please Are you satisfied with my reward?"
If the "brother-in-law" he called a few days ago was just a sign of affection, the brothers-in-law he called today were a real acceptance.
There was even a bright light in his eyes, as if he was asking for credit.
impossible.
How could the majestic Emperor Qin Wu have such an expression?
Zhu Sijia convinced herself that these were just illusions caused by overwork. She lowered her eyelashes and replied: "Wu Xingbo's success on the polo field today is all due to your majesty's discerning eyes and kindness. I dare not say more." Word."
Yan Xiu smiled freely and heartily, and gently kissed the corner of Zhu Sijia's lips.
At first, he just wanted to kiss away the bits of Sushan juice that remained at the corner of her mouth. As soon as her menstrual period came, he ordered the imperial kitchen to make a small bowl of Sushan and bring it to her. The sweetness of cherries and milk could be felt between her lips and teeth.
Then he got out of control, until he kissed her lips all over, and most of them were eaten by himself. Then he was willing to let her go:
"You have always been afraid of me."
Zhu Sijia was still panting heavily. She was so dizzy from being kissed by Yan Xiu that a few drops of pearl tears overflowed uncontrollably from the end of her eyes. When Yan Xiu asked her, she suddenly sobered up a lot.
"I don't..." Zhu Sijia's voice was weak. She covered her heart and took a deep breath, but she couldn't deceive herself. "Your Majesty is wise and mighty. He is an unprecedented and unprecedented sage. I should respect you more. "
This time Yan Xiu lay down and took her into his arms: "Don't say these words to me again."
"I'm tired of hearing these words from those rotten ministers. I don't care if they are true or false, but you are not allowed to imitate them." Yan Xiu's fingertips touched her heart and said more firmly, "I want it. , it’s your sincerity.”
"I wish Scarlett, now that you have become my woman, you no longer have to put yourself in the position of a monarch and a minister. I order you to start trying to like me."
like?
In two lifetimes and dozens of years together, Zhu Sijia had never heard these two words from a man.
Is it because she doesn't pretend enough? It was actually possible for Yan Xiu to see that since the two of them had been sleeping in the same bed for so long, everything she said and did was based on fear of trying to please.
Rather than liking it.
It is unrealistic for her to fall in love with the most unfavorable man in the world in a short period of time.
Moreover, the fact that Yan Xiu was able to treat her well, talk sweetly to her, and be more kind to her today was all based on the great achievements her brother had made today.
If Zhu Yuancun messed up the polo match today, Yan Xiu might directly demote her status.
She is no different from the concubines of the previous dynasty who were favored because of the protection of their natal family.
But Zhu Sijia could only bite the bullet, turned over and sat on Yan Xiu's waist, and took the initiative to unbuckle his belt:
"I obey your orders."
"My concubine... I will definitely like Your Majesty."
After only a few times, it was almost dinner time.
Zhu Sijia finished waiting for Yan Xiu to change clothes, but she couldn't help herself.
In this way, she had not slept for a day and a night. Normally, she could catch up on some sleep while Yan Xiu was out hunting, but like today...
Yan Xiu saw her languid expression, put his palm against her forehead, and said caringly: "Are you feeling well?"
Zhu Scarlett nodded: "A little bit."
Yan Xiu retracted his hand: "It's a little hot, blame me. Let the imperial doctor take your pulse. You don't have to attend tonight's dinner, just rest in the tent."
A dinner party lasts for two or three hours. This is indeed a good time to rest, but Zhu Sijia is worried about the task she assigned to Ren Huai——
What if he can't handle it?
But when she thought of his graceful and graceful skills on the polo field today, Zhu Sijia quickly dispelled this doubt. Moreover, even if she failed, she could think of other ways to deal with the fire.
So after Yan Xiu went out, she called Aunt Zhong: "Auntie, can you wake me up before His Majesty returns to camp?"
Aunt Zhong asked puzzledly: "Why don't you have a good rest, beauty? The mountains and rivers in Shanglinyuan are high and far away, so it is easy to get sick. What if you get sick yourself and make His Majesty worried?"
Zhu Sijia shook her head: "Aunt Zhong doesn't need to ask any more questions. Just remember to stay outside the tent. If His Majesty comes back, I have to be solemn in front of the mirror, right? Otherwise, I will be disobedient in front of His Majesty, and I will feel guilty."
