Longting Town, Wuxi, the back garden of Washington DC.
"boring boring boring……"
Zhu Houzhao, who was dressed as a rich man, was lying on a stone table in the pavilion without any manners, muttering incessantly, with a listless look on his face.
"Sir," a tall and brave young man standing next to him bowed and said with a smile, "as far as I know, there are four maids in the palace of Grand Master Hua, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. Because they were influenced and trained by the Grand Master since childhood, They are quite proficient in poetry, calligraphy, and playing the piano and flute, and they are not inferior to the talented women in the boudoir. How about sending them to serve the young master?"
Zhu Houzhao pointed at his nose with his finger and said angrily: "Jiang Bin, which of your eyes can tell that this young master likes the tone of dancing and writing? If you want to find a talented girl in the boudoir, which scholarly family in the capital doesn't want to cry for the general?" Is it necessary to come all the way to the south of the Yangtze River to bring your daughter to me?"
This young man's name was Jiang Bin. He was originally a brave general in the northern frontier army. Later, he performed a good show of fighting a tiger with bare hands and won Zhu Houzhao's favor. Especially after Liu Jin was executed, he has become the undisputed number one confidant around Zhu Houzhao.
"Yes, yes, I was out of consideration for the next moment, please forgive me, sir."
Jiang Bin hurriedly bowed lower and said with a wry smile,
"I also know that the young master's favorite thing is to go to the market to hunt for beauties. However, Mr. Zhu Shou and Taishi Hua had previously told me that if I still took the young master to go on a light trip like earlier, I would have exposed this to my life. Zhang Pi. I am really..."
Zhu Houzhao slapped the table and said angrily: "You are afraid of them, why aren't you afraid of me? Now the Grand Master is out to visit friends, and that boy Zhu Shou went to pick up his two disciples, it is me who has the final say here! You think immediately Find a fun place to go, otherwise I will take off your skin first without them taking action!"
The expression on Jiang Bin's face changed for a while, and finally he came closer as if he had made up his mind, and lowered his voice and said: "If you want to talk about interesting places, I do know one. To be honest, when I was preparing to stand in front of the young master, I took a detour to Suzhou first. , I met a stunning beauty by chance on the street..."
"Really stunning?" Zhu Houzhao's eyes were somewhat suspicious.
"She is really stunning!" Jiang Bin said vividly, "That young lady was the shopkeeper of an inn on the street, and she was soliciting customers at the door. I heard that her husband's surname was Li, and because her husband died of an illness, she had no choice but to show up to do business. Next He is a rough man, and he cannot tell how beautiful Mrs. Li is. Anyway, I only had one idea at the time - if I could sleep with her for one night, I would be willing to lose ten years of my life!"
"You **** are so vulgar!"
Zhu Houzhao scolded him first, and then finally showed some interest.
"But it can make you, a killer who only knows how to wield swords and guns, think about it. This lady Li is indeed quite beautiful. Go and make arrangements and select a few guys who are strict-mouthed and capable. I am going to visit Suzhou."
Jiang Bin responded respectfully: "I'll go immediately."
After that, he turned around and walked forward.
When he turned his back to Zhu Houzhao, his smiling face suddenly turned cold, and he said silently in his heart: "You reuse me just like you reuse Jia Jingzhong and Liu Jin. I will be a tool to help you fight for power after finishing my work." Then throw it away casually? I, Jiang Bin, earned my life with one knife and one shot in the sea of blood and corpses. No one can take it away. So, don’t blame me for taking the first step!"
The moment Jiang Bin went out, the smile on Zhu Houzhao's face also faded, and he sighed in a low voice: "Whether it's Jia Jingzhong or Liu Jin, why did I have the intention to burn bridges across the river in the first place? It's just that they forgot about it once they had the power in their hands. Who gave you this authority, and you use it to exert unscrupulous power. Now you are even worse than these two, and you actually have the idea of turning yourself into a guest... I really can't keep you!"
Not long after, more than a dozen horsemen and horses quietly left the back gate of Washington DC and all the way out of Longting Town. He whipped up his horse and galloped along the official road outside the town, and it took him less than an hour to reach Suzhou, a hundred miles away.
Jiang Bin led the way and led Zhu Houzhao, who was guarded by eight masters, to the "Li Ji Inn".
Everyone dismounted in front of the inn, tied their horses and entered the lobby in two groups.
Zhu Houzhao looked around with his eyes. When he saw a woman in plain clothes with half of her body exposed behind the counter, his eyes immediately froze and he couldn't bear to look away.
This woman is very simple. She wears commoner clothes and jade hairpins. She doesn't wear any makeup, but she naturally has a charming and voluptuous attitude.
In fact, although Zhu Houzhao was very embarrassed when he met this beauty for the first time, even the guests who had arrived early and were seated in the lobby, as long as they were men, glanced at her from time to time, with a more or less intoxicated look in their eyes.
There were only a few female guests who looked very unkind, and some of them were mean and even whispered words such as "vixen" and "fake fox" in their mouths.
"The slave family has met several guests."
Because several waiters in the store were busy greeting other customers, the woman hurriedly came out from behind the counter to greet Zhu Houzhao and his party in person.
She bowed in front of Zhu Houzhao, who she knew was the leader at a glance, and asked with a smile like a flower: "I wonder if you are going to eat or stay in a hotel?"
"Eating and staying in a hotel."
Zhu Houzhao had come back to his senses, smiled in front of the woman, bowed slightly to answer, and his demeanor was indescribably suave, chic and elegant.
When the woman saw this beautiful young man who was as bright as the moon in the sky and as graceful as a jade tree in the wind, a strange look appeared in her eyes. Two blushes appeared on her pretty face for no reason. She lowered her head and whispered: "Then I will do it first." Please arrange your room, Master, please come with me."
After that, he walked towards the back in a slim manner.
Zhu Houzhao looked at the slim figure in front of him, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, showing a meaningful smile.
That night, after the lights in the rooms in the inn were extinguished one by one and silence gradually fell, Zhu Houzhao crept out of his room, listened to the slight snoring in the adjacent room, and grinned silently.
During the previous meal, he put some sleeping pills based on the "Lianhua Baojian" into Jiang Bin's food to ensure that he could sleep peacefully throughout the night.
Using Qinggong, he silently reached the residence of the wife of the Li family in the backyard, and tapped four times on the door with two long and two short fingers.
The door opened silently inwards.
Under the dim light of the pale moon, I could see Madam Li wearing a close-fitting dress and standing pretty in the door.
Zhu Houzhao only nodded and smiled at the other party, and walked in without saying a word.
After closing the door, Mrs. Li turned around and bowed respectfully to Zhu Houzhao, who could only see a vague figure without holding a lamp, and said: "The Heart Yuehu of Jin Yiwei's 'Twenty-Eight Stars General' has met the commander!"
"That's all, no need to be polite." Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said with a chuckle, "Prince Ning actually used Lin Baihu as a beauty trap. He really lost his wife and lost his troops."
This so-called "Ms. Li" is naturally the original Lin Xian'er, now the "Mrs. Bliss" in Prince Ning's palace.
After Hu Long used the "Three Corpse Brain Pill" to control Lin Xian'er three years ago, he didn't have much interest in taking care of it anymore, and handed it over to Zhu Houzhao for arrangement.
Zhu Houzhao used various hard and soft methods to subdue the witch and incorporated her into the Jinyi Guards. He also gave her a title of "Hundred Households" and the title of "Twenty-Eight Stars General". Then he was sent to the south of the Yangtze River and made a secret agent in Prince Ning's mansion.
As for Lin Xianer calling him "Lord Commander" instead of "Your Majesty", it was he who conveyed the secret message with hand gestures when they met in the daytime, telling the other party that Zhu Houzhao was actually the Duke of Zhen Zhu Shou in disguise.
At any time, one must be on guard against those who are difficult to confide in one's confidants. This is the truth that Hu Long had taught him early in the morning.
