Chapter 183 Out of the City
"Xiaokui, hurry up, come in quickly."

Zhu Youzhen strode forward with a slightly sick smile on her face, walked out of the palace gate, went out to greet Zhong Xiaokui in person, or went to greet Chu Shan's head in her imagination.

But all he saw was that Zhong Xiaokui, who was originally dressed in red, was covered in something that was either grass clippings or dirt. She looked very miserable, and even her girl-shaped face had some scars.

That was left by Li Jing's side kick.

"Your Majesty, I apologize for not being able to get back what you need."

Before Zhong Xiaokui could even cross the palace tent, she knelt down heavily in an instant, letting various gauze curtains cover her body, and lowered her head.

Shi Yao, who was still standing at the head of the hall, raised the corner of his mouth slightly as expected, and stood there silently, waiting to see Zhu Youzhen's performance.

Zhu Youzhen, on the other hand, was stunned for a moment, then opened the curtains and used the light to detect the traces on Zhong Xiaokui's body, and then let out an unbelievable sigh.

"Didn't bring it back?"

Zhong Xiaokui lowered his head, with only indifference on his face, but still said: "Your Majesty, after I leave the city tonight, according to the plan, I should have succeeded, but..."

Before she could finish her voice, Zhu Youzhen kicked her hard on the shoulder, causing her to subconsciously step back, and then kneel back again.

"Please punish me, Your Majesty."

Zhu Youzhen, with a sickly flushed face, strode back into the hall and pointed to the open space in the hall below the steps.

"Kneel down!"

Zhong Xiaokui raised his head, and through the gap in the curtain, he could only see a look of indifference on the face of Shi Yao standing at the head of the hall.

She didn't resist, she just bent her knees and crawled forward a short distance, kneeling at the seat designated by Zhu Youzhen.

The next second, a sound broke through the air, and then at the end, Zhong Xiaokui felt a sharp pain in her buttocks.

"I have raised you for so many years, but even a mere martial artist cannot take off your head!"

"Your Majesty, I already have a plan, but tonight I saw the King of Qin, Li Jing, in the Tang army camp."

Amidst the sound of several whips, Zhong Xiaokui's intermittent voice came out, but Zhu Youzhen didn't seem to hear it and just kept whipping.

But Shi Yao, who was at the head of the palace, just covered his eyes for a moment, pondered secretly, and took a few steps forward.

"Your Majesty, don't punish Mr. Zhong. Although Mr. Zhong has made mistakes, he has already made achievements before. Tonight is just a momentary mistake. It is nothing serious. Please listen to what Mr. Zhong has to say before it is too late."

Only when Shi Yao stopped her, Zhu Youzhen stopped, snorted coldly, threw away the whip in her hand, and sat back angrily on the couch at the head of the hall.

But looking at its appearance, it feels like there is still more to it.

Sure enough, people in the Zhu family all have some peculiar hobbies.
Shi Yao sneered in his heart, but did not pretend to help Zhong Xiaokui. He just stood beside Zhu Youzhen and looked at Zhong Xiaokui, who was still kneeling at the foot of the stairs.

"First tell His Majesty what is going on tonight."

Zhong Xiaokui took a breath, changed her expression while lowering her head, and then raised her head.

"According to the plan, tonight I will use some dead soldiers to attract other Tang soldiers away so that I can take down the Tang Army's vanguard general. However, after I entered the Tang Army camp, I only saw the King of Qin Li Jing sitting alone, as if he had already Wait for me a while”

"Bullshit Prince Qin, with your strength like Zhong Xiaokui, are you still afraid of a puppet-like Prince of Qin?" At this time, Zhu Youzhen forcibly interrupted Zhong Xiaokui's words, snorted coldly, and shouted.

Looking at his appearance, it seems that he is about to start with the whip again.

But Zhong Xiaokui just continued to speak: "Your Majesty, please know that although Xiaokui herself has the strength of the middle heaven, she has no power to fight back under the hands of the King of Qin Li Jing, so she can only let her play tricks on her subjects, In the end, he was captured by him."

Zhu Youzhen stood up, her eyes widening in disbelief.

"Then Li Jing, is he really that powerful?"

Shi Yao next to her also showed a pensive look on her face.

Logically speaking, Li Jing had a commander teach him martial arts when he was young, so he may indeed have some strength, but being able to easily defeat Zhong Xiaokui may not be something that can be evaluated.

At the very least, they are all in great heaven.
Although Zhong Xiaokui knelt there and made no sound, Zhu Youzhen took a closer look at the various signs of embarrassment on her body, then turned her eyes suspiciously and sat back down again.

"Then since you have been captured, how can you get back?"

At this time, Shi Yao smiled coquettishly and said: "Your Majesty, why don't you let Mr. Zhong get up first? After all, you are tired from going out on a mission, so it is better to sit down and talk."

Why did this old witch suddenly change her temper?

There was coldness in Zhong Xiaokui's eyes, and she subconsciously glanced at Shi Yao, feeling a little wary in her heart.

But at this moment, Zhu Youzhen just waved her hand impatiently and asked Zhong Xiaokui to find a seat for herself, so she put away her thoughts and stood up.

"The reason why I was able to come back is because Li Jing wanted me to send a message to His Majesty."

Although Zhong Xiaokui is now lurking next to Zhu Youzhen under the orders of the Ghost King, Zhu Youzhen's various behaviors have made her no longer want to maintain the superficial respect for him.

"Li Jing, King of Qin, said that His Majesty cannot stay in Luoyang City any longer. The Tang army will conquer Luoyang in the future, and if His Majesty withdraws to Bianzhou now, he will still have time to survive."

Before she could finish her words, she saw Zhu Youzhen suddenly throw the fruit plate with fruits towards her.

Zhong Xiaokui naturally did not dodge, but took the blow without pain and sat there peacefully.

"Shu Zi! I must skin him alive!"

Something bad flashed in Shi Yao's heart. She glanced at Zhong Xiaokui who was sitting there like a wooden figure, and comforted her: "Your Majesty, please don't be angry, it's just..."

But by this time Zhu Youzhen was already furious. She just stood up angrily and shouted loudly to the guards outside.

"Come here, call me Wang Yanzhang! Tomorrow, I will personally go out of the city to fight with the Tang army!"

A smile appeared at the corner of Zhong Xiaokui's mouth. She didn't know whether it was sarcasm or ulterior motives, but she just left her seat and stood there with a bow.

Shi Yao narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Zhong Xiaokui, as if thoughts were spinning in his eyes.

Zhong Xiaokui didn't need to say these words, so why did she have to bear Zhu Youzhen's anger and add fuel to the fire?

Hard to do.
But Zhu Youzhen has always been headstrong. She has long wanted to go out to fight with the Tang army. If she suffers what she did today, she will definitely not be able to take it back.

Let's take a look at how capable Li Jing's subordinates are!
