Chapter 163 Divorce
After drinking for three rounds, Zhou Li was half drunk, gradually lost his guard, and began to talk more.

Li Ying poured wine for Zhou Li warmly and thoughtfully, and sighed deeply.

"Why is General Li sighing?" Zhou Li asked with concern, his face full of wine.

"Brother Zhou, I don't know, my brother is out of balance!" Li Ying raised his head to drink, his face full of sadness.

"What's going on?" Seeing her like this, Zhou Li became more and more curious.

"Brother, Zhao Qing and I are His Highness's right-hand men. I am as good as Zhao Qing in terms of martial arts and strategy, and I am no less loyal to His Highness than him. But because he has some relatives with His Highness, he was rewarded and promoted. Everything is in front of me, do you think you can be angry?" Li Ying snorted coldly.

"So that's how it is!" Zhou Li suddenly realized, "No wonder Zhao Qing made such a big mistake last time, His Highness didn't kill him!"

"Who said it wasn't? If it were someone else, I'm afraid ten heads would be chopped off, so I'm not convinced!"

Li Ying's words actually reached Zhou Li's heart.

Isn't he the same as Duo Mu? Although his martial arts are not as good as Duo Mu's, in his heart, Duo Mu is a barbarian with only the power of Kong Wu. As a general, he still has to rely on resourcefulness at critical moments.

But they have been by King Ruiyang's side for so many years. For any confidential matter, King Ruiyang will tell Duomu first, and the important tasks are also handed over to Duomu. In King Ruiyang's heart, Duomu is the person he trusts the most.

Now that Duo Mu is guarding Su Jiu and Wu Yi, he has the opportunity to be the personal bodyguard of King Ruiyang. In the past, he was not valued by King Ruiyang at all.

Angrily drank the wine, Zhou Li said coldly, "I don't know how General Li suffers!"

"Yes, Brother Zhou is proficient in everything, but he is succumbed to Duo Mu. My words can only be resonated with you!" Li Ying raised his glass, "Come on, do it!"

The two clinked glasses and drank them up.

Li Ying poured wine for Zhou Li and said, "Zhao Qing is a relative of His Highness, so I can't compare, but why don't Brother Zhou try harder?"

Zhou Li's eyes were already drunk, and he laughed at himself, "How can I work harder?"

Li Yingdao, "Sometimes no matter how much you do, the master won't see it, but if you do what you like, you may be seen by the master right away."

Zhou Li said puzzledly, "Follow what he likes? What do you mean?"

Li Ying chuckled, "What is King Ruiyang's favorite, don't Brother Zhou know?"

Zhou Li rolled his half-drunk eyes and patted the table.
Excitedly said, "Women! The prince likes women the most. I'll go to the city tomorrow and get him two!"

"Hey!" Li Ying waved his hand, "Those vulgar fans, others must have given a lot to the prince, it's useless!"

"Then what does the prince want?" Zhou Li hurriedly asked.

"As the saying goes, what you can't get is a treasure! The prince has always liked Mrs. Ji, who is under the care of Duo Mu. If Brother Zhou puts Mrs. Ji on the prince's bed, do you think the prince is happy?" Li Ying didn't like it. He smiled kindly.

Zhou Li was stunned for a moment, and then showed a look of surprise, "Oh, why didn't I think of it?"

The ready-made person is by his side, he should have thought of it a long time ago!

"Mrs. Ji Shao is so muscular that no one else can get close to her, but Brother Zhou can definitely do it. As long as the prince gets Mrs. Ji Shao, he will definitely give Brother Zhou a great credit!" Li Ying said.

"Thank you, General Li, for your suggestion!" Zhou Li gratefully raised his glass to Li Ying.

"You and I are people with the same destiny. Brother Zhou will prosper in the future, so don't forget my brother!"

"Naturally, naturally!"

Zhou Li was thinking about getting Su Jiu into King Ruiyang's tent, his eyes sparkled with excitement.

When the two of them drank until it was almost midnight, Li Ying fell asleep drunk, and Zhou Li was already crooked after he got out of the big tent.

Choosing a day is worse than bumping into it. When Zhou Li thought of being praised by King Ruiyang, he didn't want to wait any longer. He drank a few mouthfuls of cold water, sobered up, and walked to the big tent where Su Jiu was locked up.

It was almost midnight, except for the patrolling soldiers, everyone else had already fallen asleep.

As soon as Zhou Li approached the big tent, Duo Mu shouted coldly, "Who?"

No matter how much Zhou Li looked down on Duomu, there was one thing that he admired, and that was Duomau's vigilance.

No matter when someone approached the big tent in the middle of the night, Duo Mu would notice it immediately.

This is an important reason why Xia Huan sent people to rescue Su Jiu many times before but failed.

This person is born with supernatural powers, and seems to never need to rest, always in a state of sober vigilance.

Leave it to him to guard the prisoners, and almost no one can escape.

With such a person by the side of King Ruiyang, it is really difficult for him to be valued by King Ruiyang!
Hearing Duomu's voice, all the other guards guarding around also drew their knives.

Zhou Li took a few steps forward and said, "It's me!"

Duomau's face remained unchanged, and he asked without any expression, "What's the matter?"

Zhou Li whispered, "It was the prince who asked his subordinates to bring Su Jiu there."

"Why?" Tamaki asked in bewilderment.

Zhou Li smiled meaningfully, "It's so late, many guards think what the lord wants to see Su Jiu, don't say anything, don't be heard by Xia Shizi's people!"

Duomu frowned, seemingly hesitant.

"Don't many guards listen to your lord's words?" Zhou Li's voice faded.

His lord knows the virtues of Duo Mu, of course, there are no women in the barracks, and it has not been a day or two since King Ruiyang wanted Su Jiu.

Duomu took a step back to let the door open and let Zhou Li in.

Zhou Li greeted two guards and entered the big tent.

Wu Yi had already woken up when he heard the movement outside the door, and when he saw Zhou Li bringing someone in, he immediately said loudly, "Who is it?"

"None of your business!" Zhou Li snorted coldly, and said to the guard behind him, "Go and tie up Su Jiu!"

Su Jiu had been wearing clothes when she was sleeping, and now she knew she couldn't hide, so she rolled her eyes and didn't resist. She sat up and said, "Don't tie the rope, I'll go with you!"

Wu Yi's expression changed, he stopped in front of Su Jiu, and whispered, "Don't go with them!"

Taking Su Jiu away so late, he is a man, so he naturally knows what King Ruiyang is going to do!
Yan Shu slept at Su Jiu's feet, looking at Wu Yi's nervous figure, her eyes darkened slightly.

Su Jiu was a little surprised that Wu Yi, who had always been against her, would actually protect her, and said in a very low and fast voice, "You find a way to get Duo Mu to come to King Ruiyang's tent!"

Wu Yi was taken aback, then frowned and looked back at her.

With a cold face, Su Jiu stepped forward and said to Zhou Li, "Let's go!"

"Mrs. Ji Shao really understands current affairs!" Zhou Li laughed and led Su Jiu out.

Wu Yi subconsciously took a step forward, his face was slightly pale, and he clenched his fists tightly, as if he was trying his best to endure.

Su Jiu was taken away, the tent door was closed, and the room became dark again.

Yan Shu got up and asked, "What did Su Jiu say?"

Wu Yi said in a deep voice, "She wants us to find a way to transfer Duo Mu to King Ruiyang's tent!"

Yan Shu rolled her eyes and whispered something to Wu Yi.

Wu Yi nodded knowingly.

Yan Shu walked to the tent door, as if she had just woken up, she raised her voice and asked, "Where did Miss take you?"

Wu Yi closed his eyes, calmed down the panic in his heart, and tried his best to make his voice sound calm, "Zhou Li is the guard of King Ruiyang, so he is naturally taken to King Ruiyang's tent!"

Yan Shu's voice revealed the timidity of a maidservant, "My maidservant thinks this is strange!"

"Why is it strange?" Wu Yi asked, and heard Duo Mu approaching the tent door outside.

Yan Shu said, "When my servant went to fetch water tonight, I saw that this man named Zhou Li was called away by Li Ying, the deputy general of His Highness King Zhao. When I went out to wait for the servant to serve the lady to sleep, I saw Zhou Li in General Li's tent. what to discuss."

"You mean, didn't Zhou Li take Su Jiu to see King Ruiyang, he falsely passed on King Ruiyang's order and took Su Jiu somewhere else?" Wu Yi asked in surprise.

Yan Shu said, "This servant thinks it's very possible!"

Wu Yi immediately stepped forward to open the door and hurried out.

Duomu hurriedly stopped him, "Don't go out!"

"I'm going to see Su Jiu, where did Zhou Li take her?" Wu Yi asked anxiously.

The anxiety on his face was real, there was no need to pretend at all, Duomu pondered for a moment, and said, "I'll go check it out, you stay here!"

After finishing speaking, he called a few guards to guard, and strode towards King Ruiyang's big tent by himself.

Wu Yi stood there, frowning, and kept looking in the direction of King Ruiyang's big tent.

After a long while, he couldn't see Duo Mu's figure, so he turned his head and went back.

Sitting on the low couch, the man's face was gloomy, his pair of beautiful peach eyes concealed anxiety.

The room fell silent, Yan Shu poured a cup of tea and put it in his hand, and said with a faint smile, "At the beginning, Master said he wanted to seduce Su Jiu, but now, have you lost your mind?"

Wu Yi raised his head suddenly, and looked at Yan Shu in a daze, with a panicked expression on his face.

The corner of Yan Shu's mouth twitched into a sneer, her nostrils felt sore for some reason, she turned around and said in a low voice, "Don't worry too much, Shizi Xia cares more about Su Jiu than Master, why doesn't he send someone to watch around, presumably Su Jiu When Jiu Yi was taken away, Xia Shizi already knew about it!"

Wu Yi picked up the teacup, his slender jade-like fingers trembled slightly, and said in a low voice, "I, I just, don't want Su Jiu to die. I promised your royal father that I will help him find the person with the blood of the most yin."

Yan Shu sneered, "Do you believe Master's explanation?"

Wu Yi slammed the teacup out, and with a "bang", he woke up the quiet autumn night. He suddenly got up, his face was gloomy, "What do you think? Su Jiu is already married, I am so irrational that I would fall in love with her." A married woman?"

Yan Shu remained silent, her eyes seemed to see through everything, she looked straight at him.

Wu Yi took a deep breath, turned around, his back was stiff, and after a long time, he said softly,
"When this matter is over, I will leave Daliang immediately!"

Yan Shu lowered her eyes, her eyes were sad, if she didn't care or feel guilty, why hide?

It's really funny, people like her master can be emotional, but what does it have to do with her, their master-student relationship is just a whim of hers, she wants to come out with him to find someone who can save the father, so she worships him as a teacher .

He never treated her as an apprentice, and she just used him!
But why is she so sad in her heart?
……

Indeed, as Yan Shu expected, when Su Jiu was taken away, the people lying in the distance immediately rushed to sue Xia Huan.

Before the guard finished speaking, Xia Huan's expression changed, he got up suddenly, lifted the curtain and strode out.

If something happens to Su Jiu, today is the death day of King Ruiyang and King Zhao!
The king of Ruiyang was already asleep, when he suddenly heard the guard outside the tent report, "My lord, guard Zhou is asking to see you!"

King Ruiyang opened his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhou Li said outside the door, "My lord, it's been a long night, and my subordinates gave me a big gift!"

King Ruiyang rolled his eyes, stood up and sat up, and said in a deep voice, "Come in!"

Zhou Li pushed Su Jiu in and touched her acupuncture points, "My lord, please accept me!"

King Ruiyang was slightly taken aback, and then a malicious smile appeared on his face, "It turned out to be Mrs. Ji, who came to look for this king in the middle of the night, but felt lonely?"

Su Jiu smiled purely, "Does the young master have a choice?"

"My lord, you don't have to talk nonsense with her. Feed her this bottle of Ecstasy Powder, and she will beg for your favor later!" Zhou Li smiled and presented a porcelain bottle to King Ruiyang with both hands.

King Ruiyang took the porcelain vase, grinned and said, "This is a good job, and it won my heart. I will reward you in the future!"

Zhou Li was so excited that he immediately said, "Thank you, my lord!"

King Ruiyang poured the white powder from the porcelain bottle into the teacup, walked towards Su Jiu step by step, and said with a sinister smile, "Drink it, madam, it's getting late, let's rest early!"

Zhou Li waved his hand and retreated with the guards.

Su Jiu said with a smile, "What's the point of coercion, why don't the prince let me go, let's have a few drinks together!"

King Ruiyang pinched Su Jiu's chin and sneered, "Madam is as cunning as a fox, how dare I be careless! A beauty like Su Jiu is not an idiot like Yunzhu, even if my heart is tempted, I will not be stupid. To tell the truth , this king has taken a fancy to his wife for a long time, today is Zhou Li's sensible, fulfilled this king, you can't go back to Shengjing, after this king takes you back to Jinli, I will treat you well!"

After finishing speaking, he fed the wine cup into Su Jiu's mouth.

Su Jiu closed her lips tightly, and when she heard someone coming outside, she immediately shouted, "Duo Mu, save me!"

King Ruiyang was taken aback, then turned around and asked, "Who is outside?"

Sure enough, Duo Mu was outside, and replied, "My lord, it's me!"

King Ruiyang's face darkened, "What are you doing here?"

Duo Mu said, "Come down to see if Su Jiu is in the prince's tent?"

"Duo Mu, it's me, save me!" Su Jiu shouted again.

King Ruiyang's face became even colder, "Why, are you really here to save him?"

Duo Mu frowned outside the door, "No, my subordinate,"

Before he finished speaking, suddenly a large number of soldiers and horses came quickly, holding bows and arrows and surrounding King Ruiyang's tent tightly. Xia Huan stepped forward slowly and said coldly, "King Ruiyang, let Su Jiu out!" ! Otherwise, don’t blame me for fighting to the death today!”

Inside the tent, King Ruiyang's face changed, how could Xia Huan come so fast?

Su Jiu smiled immediately, and whispered to herself, "I knew, Duo Mu would find a way to save me!"

The tent door opened, and Duo Mu walked in immediately, and said solemnly, "My lord, Xia Shizi is here!"

King Ruiyang subconsciously pulled Su Jiu back a step, and looked at Duo Mu with deep eyes, "Why did Prince Xia come so quickly?"

Su Jiu didn't even have time to make a cup of tea when he entered his tent. If no one tipped the news, Xia Huan would never have known so quickly!

Duo Mu saw doubts in King Ruiyang's eyes. He was not a person who was good at strategy. He was just anxious about this matter. He knew that Su Jiu was cheating secretly, but he couldn't tell, so he slashed at Su Jiu with a knife.

With a sound of "Ding", a long sword came across the sky and knocked the long knife away from Duo Mu's hand. Xia Huan walked in slowly, with a stern expression on his face, "Are Duo Mu's guards trying to kill people?"

Da Mu was taken aback, "What do you mean?"

The moment Xia Huan came in, King Ruiyang took Su Jiu back and put his finger on her neck, "Today was just an accident, this king didn't touch Su Jiu!"

Xia Huan looked at Su Jiu, put his heart down, and said with a sneer, "If you don't touch her, there is still room for change, the prince let her go!"

King Ruiyang thought for a while, then pushed Su Jiu to Duo Mu, "Take her back!"

Duo Mu unlocked the acupuncture points on Su Jiu's body, put the dagger against her neck, watched Xia Huan's every move vigilantly, and walked out slowly.

When Duo Mu took Su Jiu away, King Ruiyang smiled and said,

"Today is really a misunderstanding. This king's subordinates sent Su Jiu here on their own initiative. Don't worry, my son, even if you don't come, this king is going to send Su Jiu back!"

Xia Huan glanced at the porcelain vase on the table, and smiled coldly, "This is the best! The prince must remember why this son is working with you. If there is something wrong with Su Jiu, the [-] soldiers and horses of the Yunnan Palace will take it here. Step into the ground! Everyone will be buried with her!"

King Ruiyang smiled and said, "Yes!"

Xia Huandan's phoenix eyes were full of murderous intent, he picked up the sword on the ground, turned around and left with his soldiers and horses.

As soon as he left, King Ruiyang's face suddenly sank, he gritted his teeth and said, "Bring Zhou Li to me!"

As soon as Zhou Li came in, he plopped and knelt on the ground, "My lord, it's none of your business. This subordinate has good intentions. I didn't expect Xia Shizi to come so soon."

King Ruiyang's face was ashen, he stepped forward and kicked him on the shoulder, pulled out the cross knife on Zhou Li's waist and was about to slash him, angrily said, "Who told you to make up your own mind!"

The duck he got flew away, and the conflict with Xia Huan deepened, which made Ruiyang King very angry!
Zhou Li was so frightened that his crotch was wet, he quickly hid back, and cried, "My lord, spare me! It was Duomu, it was Duomu who secretly sent someone to inform Xia Shizi, it's none of the subordinate's business!"

King Ruiyang narrowed his eyes fiercely, and pulled him up, "How do you know it's Duomu?"

"It must be him, only he knows that this subordinate took Su Jiu away!" Zhou Li hurriedly said.

King Ruiyang's eyes flickered. The person he trusted the most was Duo Mu, but it cannot be ruled out that he will betray him one day!
Su Jiu's face can indeed confuse people's hearts, even if he has seen countless women, he can't help but be moved when he looks at her.

Duo Mu gets along with her day and night, and it is inevitable that he will be tempted!
Two days ago, he saw Su Jiu and Duo Mu talking and laughing together. It is really abnormal for a taciturn person like Duo Mu to be able to chat and laugh with others.

And just now, in desperation, Su Jiu called Duo Mu to save her.

How did she know that Duo Shepherd would come?

There are many doubts, but it is not ruled out that Su Jiu designed to deliberately provoke the two of them!
Zhou Li knelt at the feet of King Ruiyang, "Duo Mu has watched over Su Jiu for a long time, and he must have felt pity for him. When his subordinates went down to take Su Jiu, Duo Mu obstructed him in every possible way!"

In order to save his life, Zhou Li tried his best to shirk responsibility on Duo Mu.

Zhou Li and Su Jiu have the same purpose in framing Duomu.

Suspicion is just such a thing, like poison, as long as it is poisoned, it will spread wildly, and it can no longer be removed.

King Ruiyang was originally a scheming person, good at strategizing, and he was more inclined to sow discord in his heart, but his doubts about Duomu still took root in his heart.

He nodded slowly, "I understand, don't make any claims in the future, step back!"

"Yes! This subordinate resigns!" Zhou Li hurriedly got up and retreated as if he had been pardoned.

After leaving the big tent, when the cold wind blew, I felt that I had walked through the gate of hell.

It was a good show, but I didn't expect Xia Huan to rescue Su Jiu so quickly. He originally framed Duomu, but now he began to wonder if Duomu had reported the letter?

Otherwise, he was clearly guarding Wu Yi, why would he come over suddenly?
With a cold snort, Zhou Li had the heart to kill Duomu, and left quickly.

King Zhao and Li Ying kept listening to the movement outside. They saw Zhou Li leading Su Jiu into King Ruiyang's tent, and Xia Huan came to confront King Ruiyang with soldiers and horses.

They also did not expect Xia Huan to rush over so soon.

According to the two of them, it would be best if Su Jiu was raped by King Ruiyang, Xia Huan would bring someone to fight to the death with King Ruiyang, and become a complete enemy.

"Your Majesty, don't be disappointed. With today's disturbance, Xia Shizi has a deeper prejudice against King Ruiyang, and he will definitely not be won over by King Ruiyang like before!" Li Ying persuaded.

King Zhao nodded, "Yes, this king should credit you for this matter!"

However, King Zhao still faintly felt that something was wrong.

Today's matter, he is the person who controls behind the scenes, why does he always feel that he is not the one who wins!
"Yes, thank you Your Highness!" Li Ying didn't know what King Zhao was thinking, so he happily bowed his head to thank him!

When Su Jiu was brought back to the big tent, Wu Yi immediately stood up, stepped forward to hold her arm, and looked at her nervously, "Are you okay?"

After finishing speaking, I realized that my reaction was too violent. Thinking of Yan Shu's words, my face turned pale, and I took a step back with my hands down, and said softly, "Looking at your appearance, King Ruiyang probably didn't do anything to you!"

Su Jiu shrugged, "It's okay, everyone go to bed!"

Yan Shu came over, looked outside the tent, and said in a low voice, "You called Duo Mu to provoke him and King Ruiyang, right? Will it work?"

Su Jiu raised her eyebrows and chuckled, "Slightly effective!"

It's just that it takes some time for King Ruiyang and Duomu to completely break up.

Yan Shu rolled her eyes and nodded slightly.

"I'm afraid King Zhao is playing tricks on today's incident!" Wu Yi guessed.

Although what Yan Shu said was to transfer Duomu to King Ruiyang's tent, she did see Zhou Li and Li Ying together.

Su Jiu sneered, "Let them make trouble on their own, let's wait and see what happens!"

Wu Yi nodded lightly, "Everyone should be careful!"

Yan Shu turned her eyes to Wu Yi and Su Jiu, her lips twitched into a thin smile, and she said softly, "Okay, let's go to sleep, it's almost dawn!"

Su Jiu lay face up on the bed, patted the side, and said vaguely, "Yan Shu also come up to sleep!"

Yan Shu tucked in the quilt for Su Jiu, shook her head and said, "No, Duo Mu may come in at any time, you'd better be careful!"

Su Jiu said "hmm" and closed her eyes.

Yan Shu sat on the ground with her back against the bed, and when Su Jiu fell asleep, she took out the glass jar containing "Blood Spirit" from her arms, and said in a low voice,

"Master, is he still willing to take Su Jiu's blood for his disciple?"

Wu Yi sat cross-legged on the couch, his eyes were dim, and after a while, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "We can find another person with the most yin blood."

Yan Shu smiled coolly, put away the jar, leaned back on the bed, and closed her eyes.

Wu Yi sat on the couch, guarding the two of them until dawn.

Because Zhao Qing secretly led troops to attack Gu Yun before, and was ambushed and suffered heavy losses. King Zhao did not dare to send troops rashly, and he and Hu Dapao had a stalemate at Gu Yun and Qianyuan.

After such a few days, King Zhao decided to retreat back to Qianyuan City first, and then make plans after finding out the situation of the Liang Army in Guyun City.

King Ruiyang and Xia Huan also entered the city together, so they naturally brought Su Jiu with them.

When entering the city, Feng Chengyu, the prefect of Qianyuan, personally led people out to greet him, flattering King Zhao in every possible way.

The carriage entered the city and stopped outside the post house. When Su Jiu and Wu Yi were taken off the carriage, Su Jiu deliberately took a look at the prefect Feng.

I saw this man in his forties, wearing official robes, with a goatee, and a greasy and treacherous face. I heard that he was a military general, but he did not see the mighty and heroic military general. Decades of official career had already turned him into a A slick and traitorous minister through and through.

It was this person who betrayed the imperial court and took refuge in King Zhao. At that time, he refused to open the city gate to let Hu Dapao enter the city, and almost made dumplings for Hu Dapao and his soldiers.

At this time, he was talking to King Zhao with a smile on his face.

However, this person may not be loyal to King Zhao, he is just a two-faced grass. If he is really loyal to King Zhao, he should let Hu Dapao enter the city that day, and then together with the rebels, ambush Daliang soldiers and horses in the city.

What he was afraid of was to lure Hu Dapao into the city and kill him with a single blow.

Therefore, this person is just a villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death!
Su Jiu and Wu Yi were imprisoned in the northeast corner of the post house, the furthest away from where Xia Huan lived, and Duo Mu was still in charge.

Shengjing City, Jifu
Ji Yuxian didn't enter the room for a few days, the woman began to sense something was wrong, she couldn't help thinking wildly, trying to recall if she said something wrong, and Ji Yuxian saw the clue.

But if Ji Yuxian knew she was a fake, why didn't he just expose it?

The woman felt uneasy, restless sleeping and eating.

This day, Mo Yu came in to serve her lunch with food, the woman took the opportunity to ask, "Where is Ji Yu Xian? Why haven't I seen him for so long?"

"Young Madam Hui!" Mo Yu said respectfully, "I heard that there is a problem with the business in Fuyang. The eldest son discusses with the steward every day and is going to Fuyang!"

"Oh!" It turned out to be a business matter, and the woman felt relieved.

After lunch, after taking a nap, I heard the sound of the door opening, and someone came in.

The woman stood up immediately and asked, "Who is it?"

Ji Yuxian opened the tent and went in, dressed in a red robe, with a charming smile, sitting on the bed, and said gently, "Jiu'er, I'm going out tomorrow, will you stay in Ji's mansion, or go with me?"

"Where are you going?" the woman asked.

"There is a problem with the business in Fuyang, I have to go there myself!"

The woman immediately said, "I will go with my husband, I will go wherever you go!"

Ji Yuxian nodded with a smile, "That's fine, then Jiu'er pack up, we'll set off tomorrow morning!"

"Okay!" The woman nodded with a chuckle.

"Ji'er rest, I have something to do, come back later!" Ji Yuxian covered the woman with the quilt, got up and left.

As soon as he stepped out of the room, Ji Yuxian's face immediately sank, he swept the room with the end of his eyes, and walked out of the corridor.

The woman heard that Ji Yuxian was coming later, so she waited for a long time, but she didn't see him come back after going to bed.

Early the next morning, the woman finished washing, changed into a loose dress, and followed Ji Yuxian out of Ji's mansion.

There were two carriages parked outside the door, the woman frowned slightly, she thought she could get closer to Ji Yuxian this time, but he unexpectedly prepared a carriage for her alone.

"Ji Yuxian!" The woman called to stop the man in front.

"What's wrong?" Ji Yuxian turned around.

The woman bit her lip and said, "You don't need to be so troublesome, you and I can ride in the same carriage!"

"Mo Yu will take care of you on the way, it's more convenient to have a carriage alone." Ji Yuxian said, and ordered Mo Yu to move Su Jiu's luggage to the carriage.

The woman lowered her head and walked to the carriage, her eyes were gloomy, and she was sensitive to what seemed to be wrong with Ji Yuxian, but his attitude towards her was still gentle and friendly.

An Nai let go of the uneasiness in her heart, and the woman stepped into the carriage.

Soon the carriage started, left Ji Mansion, and headed towards the city gate.

The woman lifted the curtain of the car, looked at the crowded and lively pedestrians on the street, and looked at the familiar scene in Shengjing City, probably because of her identity change, she suddenly felt a little strange.

The shops on both sides of the long street had just opened, and the hawkers were already yelling hard. The woman seemed to see Qinxiang among the passers-by, her brows moved, and Fang wanted to search carefully, but the carriage passed by, but she couldn't see it again.

Qin Xiang has been with her since she was a child, through ups and downs, no matter how difficult the situation is, she has always been with her, but she has become the young wife of the Ji family, but she can no longer take her by her side, and she suddenly feels a little guilty and miss.

The future is long, and when she secures her position as the young wife of Ji's mansion, she can always find a way to bring Qinxiang into Ji's mansion.

Thinking of this, I feel a little more comforted in my heart.

The carriage left the city gate, got on the official road, and drove towards Fuyang at high speed.

Qianyuan City

Early in the morning, the prefect Feng Chengyu brought his master to the post house.

Qianyuan City is much bigger than Gu Yun, because there are canals passing through the city, so it is more prosperous and rich.

The post house is built like a royal garden. After entering, there are small bridges and flowing water, pavilions and pavilions, one step at a time. It is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and the environment is very beautiful.

Of course, Feng Taishou himself is full of food. He has been the prefect of Qianyuan for several years, and he has earned countless fortunes.

Two months ago, Feng Chengyu got the news that someone in Shengjing City had read a copy of him, that he disregarded the laws of the country, took bribes to collect money, and neglected human life.

Emperor Xiao wanted to send people down to investigate him, but before the sent people arrived at Qianyuan, King Zhao rebelled.

It can be said that King Zhao saved his life.

If he hadn't defected to King Zhao, he would still be unable to escape death after the rebellion had passed.

So he put all his eggs in one basket and took refuge in King Zhao.

But he also knew in his heart that his current situation was still very dangerous.

King Zhao will win over him when he is employing people now. If he really ascends to the throne one day, he will be the first person to be killed.

He wanted to show his loyalty as soon as possible while King Zhao was in Qianyuan, and gain the trust of King Zhao, so that he could survive in the future.

In the past two days, he came to the posthouse on time every day, told Zhao Wang what he did every day, flattered him, and won Zhao Wang's favor.

Thinking about his plan, Feng Chengyu walked slowly into King Zhao's courtyard.

Looking up at the inner courtyard, he suddenly asked, "I heard that there is a woman imprisoned inside, do you know who it is?"

The master hurried forward and said in a low voice, "I heard that she is the wife of the Zhongji Mansion in Shengjing City."

Feng Chengyu frowned and asked puzzledly, "Mrs. Ji's mansion? What do you want her to do?"

It is very inconvenient to bring a woman along the way. If it is not very important, King Zhao will definitely not take her all the way in the barracks.

"I heard that this woman has something to do with the current emperor, and also has something to do with Xia Shizi. King Zhao wants to rebel with Xia Shizi, so of course it is better to be restrained!" The master said in a tone that understood everything.

Feng Chengyu nodded secretly.

The two were talking, when they passed by the garden in the backyard of the post house, they saw a little maid sneaking over.

Feng Chengyu's eyes flashed, and he took the master to hide behind the rockery.

I saw the little maid standing behind the flower tree, holding a letter in her hand, looking around, waiting for someone.

Soon, a guard looked around vigilantly and came quickly.

The little maid hurriedly took two steps forward, and said in a low voice, "Madam gave this to Shizi Xia, please hand it over to Shizi Xia personally!"

The guard put the letter into his clothes and nodded solemnly, "Put it down, the villain must be handed over to the prince!"

"Okay, I'll go back first, so as not to be discovered!"

The little maid said, looked around, and left in a panic.

The guard also walked out of the garden.

Feng Chengyu was worried that he couldn't find a chance to ask King Zhao for credit, and now he came.

Winking at the master, the master nodded knowingly, got up, walked around the path, and walked quickly towards the guard.

Soon, the master walked around in front of the guards and shouted, "Who is it?"

The guard stopped and looked at each other vigilantly, "This subordinate is Shizi's personal bodyguard, who are you?"

The master walked forward slowly, stroked his two beards and said coldly, "You are the bodyguard of the prince, I saw you sneaking around in this garden, did you do something shady?"

The guard said coldly, "Nonsense! Get out of the way quickly, or don't blame the knife in my hand for not having eyes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was about to draw the knife when his neck suddenly hurt, his eyes turned black, and he fell to the ground.

Feng Chengyu stood behind him and said with a sneer, "Little guard, how dare you be arrogant in front of me!"

The master hurriedly stepped forward and gave a thumbs up, "My lord is very skilled!"

Feng Chengyu smiled triumphantly, "No matter what, my lord has also been a general, and it is more than enough to deal with a mere bodyguard!"

"Yes, yes, your lord is mighty!" The master smiled obsequiously.

"Look quickly, what's written in the letter in his arms?" Feng Chengyu looked around and ordered.

Master hurriedly squatted down, stroked the guard's arms for a while, and took out the letter.

After unfolding, the above fonts are elegant and smart,
"Xia Huan, the walls of Guyun City are low and not suitable for defending the city. Hu Dapao has already lost two cities. If he loses Guyun again, the emperor will be angry and blame him! You try to hold back King Zhao, and you can't attack Guyun in the near future."

The inscription is "Su Jiu"

Feng Chengyu looked at the contents of the letter and narrowed his eyes slowly.

Hu Dapao was a general sent by the imperial court to suppress the rebellion, so he had heard of it.

If you don't attack Gu Yun, why wait for Hu Dapao to hit Qianyuan.

"My lord, you should report to King Zhao immediately!" The master said nervously beside him.

This is important information.

Feng Chengyu's eyes turned sharply, his face was pensive, and after a while he slowly shook his head, "You can't tell King Zhao!"

This is a rare opportunity for him.

Su Jiu must have gotten the news before he hurriedly informed Xia Huan, which means that Gu Yun is indeed vulnerable now.

If he delivered this letter to King Zhao, he would at most be rewarded with two sentences.

But if he led troops to attack Gu Yun, killed Hu Dapao, and made military exploits, in the eyes of King Zhao, he would not just be a villain who threw himself into the city and betrayed him. He might be reused in the future, and even become a confidant of King Zhao.

He was born as a military commander, but he has been depressed all the time. This is a chance given to him by God.

"Your Excellency, you want to." The master has been with Feng Chengyu for many years, and he can understand what he is thinking when he moves his eyes.

Feng Chengyu's eyes were full of plans, he clenched the letter paper tightly in his hand, gradually shredded it, and said in a low voice, "I'm going to see King Zhao now, and ask to lead troops to attack Gu Yun."

The master worried, "Are you very sure, my lord?"

Feng Chengyu smiled conceitedly, "Which general dares to say that he is [-]% sure in battle. Fighting depends on strategy, momentum, knowing yourself and the enemy. Now I have all of them, so why worry about it!"

The master laughed immediately, "My lord is wise!"

Feng Chengyu was very excited when he thought that he was about to lead the army again, and walked quickly towards King Zhao's courtyard.

When King Zhao heard that Feng Chengyu was going to lead troops to attack Gu Yun, he was slightly startled, "Master Feng is not joking, is he?"

Feng Chengyu's sleek and sophisticated face was impassioned at this time, and he knelt on the ground and said in a terrified voice,
"Xiaguan followed His Highness wholeheartedly, and now His Highness has not yet attacked Gu Yun, Xiaguan is willing to share His Highness's worries, heartbroken, and will not hesitate!"

King Zhao was also moved by this generous statement, but he hesitated, "Master Feng is a military commander, but after all, Master Feng has not led troops in battle for many years, but Hu Dapao is famous for being brave and good at fighting. Master Feng is sure to defeat him ?”

"Your Highness doesn't know, although I have been unarmored for many years, I have never slacked off in the past ten years. I am familiar with military books every day and train with the city guards. I am confident that I will not lose at all, and it is even more impossible to lose to a younger generation! "Feng Chengyu said confidently.

King Zhao was still worried, because Zhao Qing had stumbled in the hands of Hu Dapao before, and now his soldiers and horses were less than [-], so how could he dare to take risks.

It would be the best if you use the soldiers and horses of the Yunnan Prince's Mansion!

Seeing that King Zhao hesitated, Feng Chengyu immediately said, "Your official can put a life and death certificate, if the attack fails, you will apologize by yourself!"

"Master Feng is so sure?" King Zhao asked with his lips curled up.

"Yes!" Feng Chengyu said affirmatively.

King Zhao thought for a while, and ordered Li Yingdao, "Bring Shizi Xia to this king, and say that I have something important to discuss!"

"Yes!" Li Ying left in response.
