Under the eaves outside the door.
Not long after the eunuch left, he came back holding a roll of bamboo slips in both hands.
"Your Majesty, this is the secret letter sent by General Bai before!"
The eunuch took the bamboo slips, came to Ying Zheng, and bent down to report.
Under Mrs. Zheng's gaze, Ying Zheng reached out and took the bamboo slips from the eunuch's hand. He did not open it and read it again, but turned around and handed it to Mrs. Zheng.
"Beauty, look at these thieves who are trying to murder me!"
Ying Zheng said softly.
Mrs. Zheng carefully took the bamboo slip, and then slowly opened it next to Ying Zheng.
The moment she opened it, she saw the contents inside the bamboo slips and looked at the names and noble families on it. Mrs. Zheng's beautiful face immediately turned pale and pale.
"Look at the beauty!"
Ying Zheng didn't seem to notice Mrs. Zheng's panicked look. He still reached out to Mrs. Zheng's fair and beautiful face and gently brushed her long hair as before.
However, at this moment, Mrs. Zheng did not look as shy as before. At this moment, Mrs. Zheng only felt a chill on her back.
Because in the bamboo slip in front of me, on a bamboo slip, there are densely packed names.
Surprisingly, it also has my own name written on it, Mrs. Zheng!
"Your Majesty~!"
At this time, Mrs. Zheng finally collapsed and sat on the ground in panic.
She had agreed to the request of her grandfather and her tribe, but it was all in her mind, imagining that Ying Zheng had been assassinated, but she never imagined that the matter would be exposed. Ying Zheng could not help but be safe and sound, and he already knew about her plan with the Zheng family.
"Spare my life~! Your Majesty!"
Mrs. Zheng's pretty face no longer had the calmness it had just before. There was only panic on her face that could not see the color of blood at the moment, and her frightened eyes were full of pleading.
Watch it all.
Ying Zheng was not moved at all, and turned his head to look at the dark night sky in the distance.
"Come here, take the beauty to the side room, and give her Bai Ling in three days!"
Ying Zheng said softly.
Following Ying Zheng's words, several eunuchs who had been waiting behind quickly stepped forward and bowed to Ying Zheng.
"promise!"
"promise!
"
After the eunuch arranged the ceremony, he dragged Mrs. Zheng away.
"Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please spare your life. I am willing to serve the King for the rest of my life. I will never have any objections! Your Majesty..."
Ying Zheng listened to Mrs. Zheng's begging for mercy behind him. He didn't look back or say a word. He could only look straight at the night, seeming to be thinking about something.
........
Fangling City.
Bai Yan didn't get up and leave until it was almost dawn.
Instead of having a banquet that lasts all night, they have to wait for Chen Xu to leave together.
Looking at Chen Xu who had just come back and was leaning against the wooden door, disheveled, panting, and very embarrassed, Tian Sui didn't want to look at him. If possible, he even wanted to raise his hands to block his eyes.
"Brother Xu, so elegant!
"
When Xi Yan passed by Chen Xu, he patted Chen Xu on the shoulder with admiration.
When Bai Yan and Wu Gao walked out of the room, they couldn't help but look at Chen Xu with strange eyes. When they saw the red-faced woman approaching, they couldn't help but raise the corners of their mouths.
"sharp!"
Wu Gao rarely praised Chen Xu.
"Gentleman, walk slowly! Come here often when you have time!"
The woman didn't mind the glances of Bai Yan and Wu Gao, but instead looked at them with smiles on her face.
While she was speaking, she felt a pair of hands being placed dishonestly on her body. The woman turned her head and looked at Chen Xu with beautiful eyes filled with tenderness and anger.
"Someone is here!"
The woman said shyly.
"Walk!"
Before Chen Xu could say anything to the woman, a deep voice suddenly came.
Seeing Tian Sui walking past him, Chen Xu quickly followed.
Before leaving, Chen Xu turned around and gave the woman an intriguing look.
"Walk slowly!"
The woman stood at the door, looking at Chen Xu, her mouth full of anger. She turned her head after all the young men left.
at this time.
Seeing the women behind her who had worked hard all night, the woman finally looked at the young woman who didn't look outstanding and was also the most neatly dressed.
"You! I finally gave you a chance and you don't have to accompany those shady and ugly old men. Who would have thought that you still don't know how to cherish it!"
The woman shook her head.
The woman named Yu raised her head and glanced at the woman after hearing her words.
The other women looked in agreement and vented their dissatisfaction.
"That's right! Just now! Someone seems to be not satisfied yet."
"I don't even look at my appearance! I'm lucky enough to be chosen by a gentleman. I'm not satisfied yet."
"Maybe he wants to compete with us! After all, the gentlemen around us all..."
The other women looked at Yu coldly and mockingly.
If it is placed in a private room, anyone with eyes can clearly see that Yu is constantly looking at the most handsome gentleman in a very subtle way.
"I......"
Yu lowered his head and dared not speak.
However, at this time, to everyone's surprise, the woman did not blame Yu anymore, but put away her smile and looked at one of the women.
When the woman saw the woman's sudden change of expression, she didn't understand what she had said wrong, but she quickly became anxious and stood there obediently, not daring to say anything more.
"why are you laughing?"
When the woman said this, she looked at the other women: "The gentleman beside you just now, including the gentleman beside me, are all accompanying the gentleman next to her on this trip to Handan!"
The woman looked at these women and said softly.
"ah!"
"What?"
The woman's words made all the women look surprised and looked at each other in disbelief.
In the elegant room just now, all of them felt that those gentlemen, regardless of their dress, temperament and conversation, were definitely not ordinary people, or even comparable to ordinary nobles.
And those people were all accompanying the man next to Yu to Handan?
Who is that person?
On the other side, Yu also raised his head and looked at the woman with a shocked expression.
It was only then that Yu perhaps understood why the woman just said she was given the opportunity, but she didn't seize it.
Thinking back to the gentleman who never reached out to touch her all night...
"After today's events are over, don't think too much about it. You'll have a good time tomorrow!"
The woman looked at Yu and ordered, then turned and left.
As for whether anyone will take a fancy to Yu tomorrow, that's not her problem. If no one takes a fancy to Yu, if the price is slightly reduced, older people with their own status will be willing to spend a little spare money.
Outside the private room.
Watching the woman's leaving figure.
Several other women slowly recovered from the shock, and then looked at Yu standing aside, their eyes full of ridicule.
Yu's appearance is not comparable to them at all, but as women in a restaurant, they also know that Yu cherishes the opportunity just now, and perhaps it is more likely than them that he will be taken away by that gentleman of unknown origin but noble status, and he will be taken away. around.
After all, the gentleman just now did not choose other women who were more beautiful than Yu, but chose Yu.
This proves that the gentleman looked at Yu with a little compassion.
Think of this.
Then think of Yu's various actions in the private room all night just now.
At this moment, all the other women felt indescribable joy.
"Yu, you've been working hard all night, don't think too much, you'll have a good time tomorrow to receive guests!"
"Yes, maybe I will meet such a gentleman tomorrow and choose you!"
After one woman finished speaking, she turned and left.
Yu was left standing with a lost look on his face, his slender body motionless, not knowing what he was thinking.
The second day.
As soon as the sky became bright, Bai Yan, Wu Gao, Shiyan, and Tian Sui came to the carriage and prepared to leave Fangling City.
Looking at Chen Xu who was constantly yawning and looking tired, Tian Sui patted his back angrily and motioned to get on the carriage.
Fortunately, Chen Xu had experienced the woman's experience. In the next three days, Chen Xu was much more honest. This also made Xi Yan, who had always been serious, couldn't help laughing and teasing. After all, the woman was still more powerful. Unusual!
Along the way, Chen Xu often had noisy moments with Xi Yan.
“Get out of the way!
"
"Step aside!
"
When he was about to arrive in Handan City, Chen Xu was still talking to Tian Sui tirelessly, thinking about whether to find another restaurant tonight, when he suddenly saw a dozen cavalry wearing Qin armor outside the carriage. Cycling on the official road.
Before the driver could move the carriage, he saw more than two thousand Qin troops suddenly approaching in an orderly manner on the plain in the distance.
"what happened?"
"Strange, those should be the Qin troops stationed in Handan!"
In the carriage, Chen Xu and Tian Sui looked at the Qin army on the plain in the distance, full of doubts.
It stands to reason that if there is nothing wrong, the Qin army in Handan City will never leave Handan rashly, especially at the critical time when Ying Zheng is coming to Handan.
On the other side, there was also a carriage parked next to the roadside.
After waiting for a long time, after the Qin troops left, Shiyan, Bai Yan, and Wu Gao got off the carriage one after another.
"strangeness!"
Wu Gao took care of Bai Yan and looked at the direction in which the Qin troops were leaving with confusion.
Xi Yan was also talking to Tian Sui.
After Bai Yan took a look, he turned to look at Tian Sui and others with a frown on his face, expressing his worries.
"Those Qin troops seem to be heading towards Zhongmou City. Could it be that Ying Zheng has already arrived at Zhongmou City and the plan has changed?"
After Bai Yan finished speaking, he looked a little worried.
"Don't worry, there are people left behind by me in Zhongmu City. If there are any problems, we can deal with them."
Tian Sui heard Bai Yan's conversation and comforted him softly.
"We'd better go to Handan first, and then return to Zhongmou after removing the poison from Zixiao's body!"
Tian Sui said.
Seeing this, Bai Yan nodded, looked at the direction where the Qin army had just left, and waited for Shiyan, Tian Sui and others to finish talking before returning to the carriage.
An hour later.
Bai Yan took a carriage and finally arrived in Handan.
Compared with the last time he came to Handan, Bai Yan clearly felt that the interrogation at Handan City Gate was much stricter.
After being interrogated by several Qin officials, Bai Yan, Wu Gao, and Shiyan's carriage slowly drove into Handan City behind the dense crowd.
The streets in Handan City are still bustling and lively, with noisy and chaotic sounds throughout the streets.
Bai Yan was sitting in a carriage. Under Wu Gao's instructions, the carriage drove slowly to an alley before stopping. The carriages of Chen Xu and Tian Sui followed closely behind.
After getting off the carriage.
Bai Yan looked at this secluded alley, feeling a little strange.
Under the watchful eyes of Bai Yan, Tian Sui and others, Wu Gao stepped forward and opened the gate of the small garden. After the gate was opened, everyone was allowed in.
Bai Yan walked into the small garden with Tian Sui, Xi Yan and Chen Xu. As soon as he entered, he saw a woman standing in the small garden.
"Sister!"
When Wu Gao saw the woman, he stepped forward with a smile on his face.
Wu Yun looked at her younger brother, with a smile on her face, and then looked behind Wu Gao, whom she had known since childhood.
This was not the first time that Tian Sui and Chen Xu met Wu Gao's eldest sister Wu Yun, but the last time they met was when Wu Yun married to Wei State a few years ago.
Seeing Wu Yun again at this time, not to mention Chen Xu, even Tian Sui couldn't help but be amazed. Wu Yun's appearance was much more charming than a few years ago.
Wu Yun didn't notice the looks in other people's eyes.
At this moment, Wu Yun's eyes were all focused on that pale young man.
"Ahem~! Well, brother Wu Gao, didn't you once say that there is a very famous restaurant in Handan City, why don't you take us there!"
Naturally, Tian Sui, Chen Xu, and Xi Yan all had good eyesight and looked at the scene in front of them and the small garden in front of them.
It looked like it was not for myself and others.
So I quickly found an excuse to leave early.
While talking.
Chen Xu saw the surprised look on Bai Yan's face, a manly smile appeared on his face, and his eyes were full of ridicule.
"Brother Zixiao, you are injured and unwell. You are tired from running around for days and you vomited blood yesterday. Please don't go with us today!"
After Chen Xu finished speaking, he gave Xi Yan and others a look.
"Yes, yes! Yes!"
Xiyan and Wu Gao were naturally not stupid. They understood and nodded quickly.
Even Tian Sui, who has always been rigorous and reliable, bowed to Wu Yun.
"Brother Zixiao, please ask Wu to take care of you! Let's go get the antidote for Zixiao!"
Tian Sui said.
They are all men, but Tian Sui still has this ability to see. There is a saying that a gentleman loves the beauty of adulthood.
Wu Yun looked at Tian Sui and slowly bowed her head.
Then Chen Xu, Wu Gao, Xi Yan and others did not give Bai Yan a chance to refuse. They quickly waved to each other and walked towards the outside of the small garden together. They were in such a hurry that they were afraid they would be late.
This scene.
Bai Yan was also caught off guard. He coughed frequently along the way, but he never vomited blood.
Bai Yan, who couldn't laugh or cry, listened to the sound of the door closing behind him, and then looked at the woman with red eyes in front of him.
At this time, he and Wu Yun were the only ones in the entire garden.
Handan City.
Four people, Wu Gao, Shi Yan, Tian Sui and Chen Xu, were sitting in a carriage.
"Zizi~! I really envy Brother Zixiao! Fortunately, when I was in Fangling City, I still sighed that Brother Zixiao didn't choose a beauty. I never thought that Brother Zixiao didn't like her at all!"
Chen Xu said with emotion.
Chen Xu, who often lives in the land of tenderness between men and women, has even imagined what Zi Xiao and Wu Yun will do in the room after they leave.
Thinking of this, the envy in Chen Xu's eyes was undisguised.
Xi Yan also nodded when he heard Chen Xu's words. He had just seen Wu Yun for the first time. Even though he had known Wu Yun since he was a child, he couldn't help but look in amazement.
Among the few people, it was Tian Sui. Although he was also astonished just now, he was not as impressed as Chen Xu.
After all, Tian Sui's identity is a royal family member of the Qi Dynasty. There are many beautiful wives and concubines in the mansion of that royal family member.
"We will go to the mansion to settle down later, and then we will arrange for people to keep an eye on Guo Kai's mansion, look for opportunities to get rid of Guo Kai, and get the antidote at the same time. We don't have much time for this trip!"
Wu Gao ignored Chen Xu and Xi Yan, but looked at Tian Sui.
"Can!"
Tian Sui heard Wu Gao's words and did not refuse.
Looking at Wu Gao's eyes at this moment, Tian Sui felt helpless. He had already expected that the reason why Wu Gao was so anxious was probably not only the reason why he was driving to detoxify Zi Xiao, but also a small part of the reason, which was to transfer people around him. Qi martial arts.
Tian Sui knew that if his guess was correct, although Wu Gao had promised Zhu Lao and others, in fact, he had already sent people to Handan City to wait, and the best place to wait was near the small garden.
First, protect Wu Yun and Zi Xiao.
Secondly, Wu Gao knew that their group would definitely arrive at the small garden.
The reason why he was so sure was that when he asked Wu Yun to take care of Zi Xiao in Xiaoyuan just now, he deliberately mentioned that he would get the antidote for Zi Xiao.
Wu Yun didn't show any surprise when she heard it, obviously she already knew about it.
This is the most obvious flaw.
You must know that Zi Xiao once said that Wu Gao was not informed about Mrs. Xu because he was worried that Wu Gao would alert the enemy and force Mrs. Xu to escape.
So naturally, Wu Yun wouldn't know.
Wu Yun didn't look surprised just now. The only explanation was that Wu Gao had already sent someone to inform Wu Yun.
Inside the carriage.
Tian Sui looked at Wu Gao and didn't blame Wu Gao for being scheming. After all, Zi Xiao had saved Wu Gao and Wu Yun and had various past experiences.
If it were him, he would be the same as Wu Gao.
At this time, Tian Sui was thinking about how he would use other excuses to get the poison and antidote from Mrs. Xu later.
Tian Sui is not worried about Wu Gao's people. Tian Sui still has confidence in his cronies.
now.
Tian Sui, who was riding in the carriage, didn't know yet.
Just when they were riding in a carriage and preparing to go to Mrs. Xu's place.
On the official road dozens of miles outside Handan City, a carriage rushed towards Handan City at high speed. In the carriage, only Huan Chu was lying in it with a pale face.
