Beyond the cold wind of winter night, in the brightly lit palace in the center of the city, the atmosphere in Mingxiang Palace, Madam Mingzhu's bedroom, is completely different from the dullness in Gu Xun's house.
The air was filled with a charming scent, and Mrs. Mingzhu's secret incense lingered in the bedroom. Han Wangan's plump body lay restlessly on a large bed, but unfortunately he was the only one on the double bed, with his eyes closed and muttering.
Unclear words, accompanied by some body movements.
No need to guess, this silly fat guy must be having an erotic dream alone that he thinks is real.
In theory, the heroine Madam Pearl, who should cooperate with Han Wangan's performance, is wearing a black transparent lace tulle that neither protects against the cold nor has any shielding effect. She sits with her legs bent in front of what is probably her dressing table, fiddling with some bottles with her hands.
Jar jar, probably mixing incense.
After a while, the incense should have been adjusted. Mrs. Mingzhu stood up with one of the small porcelain bottles, then swung her long, slender legs, walked to the bed step by step, and flicked her wrist slightly, which made people laugh.
The intoxicating fragrance poured out, first covering Han Wangan who was lying on the bed.
Han Wangan, who was still muttering and moving unconsciously, calmed down instantly, and his expression became very peaceful and enjoying himself.
Mrs. Mingzhu looked at everything with satisfaction, and then began to narrate some words in Han Wangan's ear.
Ji Wuye sent someone to send a message before, asking her to induce Han Wangan to choose some candidates who were related to Ji Wuye to escort the border army's salary.
After all, she is also one of the four evil generals in the night, so she still has to do something for the organization. Besides, she has also learned about Ji Wuye's plan. She finds it very interesting. There is no reason for her not to support it.
So, she is doing this now.
The initial effect of the incense was just to make Han Wangan fall into a fantasy-like erotic dream, and she used it to send Han Wangan away.
The incense added later was used to cooperate with her illusion, which could read Han Wangan's thoughts and induce a certain degree of suggestion.
As mentioned before, Ji Wuye only thought that Mrs. Mingzhu influenced Han Wangan by relying on her beauty to blow the pillow, and this matter had to be done secretly, so he gave Mrs. Mingzhu a list of people who were qualified to escort grain and grass.
, and someone who has a deep connection with Ye Mu.
He only needs Mrs. Mingzhu to guide Han Wangan without leaving any trace to choose any one of these people to escort the military pay.
But the reality is that Madam Myung-joo can choose whoever she wants to control King Han's selection, and the people on the list all have similar identities and are all relatives of King Han's because Han law stipulates that the position of escorting military pay must be held by members of the royal family who do not hold military positions.
As a result, she randomly found two people from the list, Anping Jun and Longquan Jun.
In fact, it was not completely random. She had just seen these two names not long ago. From the information she collected about Gu Xun, they had seen doctors in Gu Xun's medical clinic, so she chose them conveniently.
Two.
………………
On the same night, some unusual things happened in Linzi, the capital of Qi, and in the palace of Qi Palace.
Compared with South Korea, whose national power is extremely weak, the Qi Palace, which is extremely wealthy due to its developed commerce, is more luxurious and covers a wider area than the Han Palace.
But these are not important, after all, it is just a place for people to live.
In the study room of King Jian of Qi, two people were sitting. One of them was wearing a royal robe, about forty years old, with a thin face and a majestic demeanor. It was King Tian Jian of Qi.
The man sitting opposite him looks to be about thirty years old, with a scholarly temperament. This is Tian Dan, the younger brother of King Jian of Qi.
He has no close blood relationship with Qi Wangjian, he is just a member of the Tian clan.
The world may not have thought that the real financial backers behind the Iron Blood Alliance, or to put it more nicely, the supporters behind the scenes, are the royal family of Qi and the Tian and Chen clan. Especially in the past few decades, they have secretly exerted great influence on the queen.
With the support, the Iron Blood Alliance was able to develop and grow.
However, these matters are classified as top secret even within the Iron Blood Alliance, and no more than two people know about them.
And Tian Dan is the representative of the Qi royal family who is now responsible for the internal affairs of the Iron Blood Alliance.
Many people in the Iron Blood Alliance knew about his existence, but the Iron Blood Alliance had very close relations with the royal families of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong, and it was not just the Qi royal family that sent representatives, but Tian Dan had a lot of power behind the scenes that they didn't know about. At this time, what the two of them want to talk about is about Gu Xun.
Tian Dan originally had no intention of giving in to Gu Xun's handling of the matter.
If both sides take a step back and Gu Xun releases the hostages in exchange for the Iron Blood Alliance not to have any more trouble, Tian Dan is willing to reconcile, but this man insists on a ransom.
This is unbearable. From Tian Dan's point of view, his real masters have not yet been dispatched, so how can he simply give in?
However, when Wang Jian of Qi learned about this, he intervened and ordered Tian Dan to retreat voluntarily, pay the ransom, and arranged for Chen He to complete the task.
"How's it going with He'er?" Qi Wangjian asked in a gentle voice.
Chen He has no special identity, and is not closely related to Qi Wang Jian or Tian Dan. He is just an ordinary member of the royal family. His parents died early, so in terms of seniority, he is one generation lower than Qi Wang Jian and Tian Dan.
Tian Dan first bowed his hands and saluted, and then answered:
"Your Majesty, Chen He has completed his mission and is on his way back to Jimo."
"Well," Qi Wangjian nodded slightly, and then asked: "What is the specific situation?"
"The letter sent by Chen He said that he was no match for that person, and judging from what he meant between the lines, it seemed that... the gap in strength was quite large."
"Can't you see the calendar?"
"It can't be seen that it doesn't match the martial arts methods of the hundreds of schools that Chen He knows, but... it's very strong and very special."
"Is this so?" Qi Wangjian murmured to himself, while Tian Dan stood by quietly, waiting for the king's reply.
After a while, Qi Wangjian suddenly changed the topic and asked:
"I remember, He'er always wanted to go out for a walk, right?"
Tian Dan hesitated for a moment and said politely:
"Chen He actually just hopes to see as many masters in the world as possible. During his stay in Jimo, he has fought against all our masters, so..."
Qi Wangjian raised his hand and waved, indicating that he didn't need to cover up, "I know his temperament, and I don't want to pursue anything when I ask this."
"Since he wants to go on his own, let him go this time. Let him go to South Korea and stay with that person for a while."
Tian Dan, who had always been calm, finally changed his expression after hearing this, and asked with a puzzled look:
"Your Majesty, this...?"
Tian Dan really didn't understand why Qi Wangjian would issue such an order.
"I don't believe there are such coincidences in the world." Qi Wangjian did not explain, but just said this sentence.
Tian Dan couldn't understand the meaning behind this meaningless sentence.
Qi Wangjian had no intention of answering his doubts and waved his hand, indicating that he could go down.
