"That's what you said." Xu Zizhen waved to Liu Fengsui, "If the negotiation breaks down, call it quits."
At this point, Liu Fengsui no longer cared about whether the other party was a prince. Without saying a word, he took out two stones and flew them out. But just when the stones were about to be released, a feeling of weakness and fatigue suddenly left his body.
The depths filled the air, and Feishi, the famous Feiyujian family heirloom, actually missed at this moment.
Two pebbles flew slowly and feebly in front of Zhao Kai. Mo Jingxia swept the pebbles away with a wave of his hand. The old man smiled like a chrysanthemum and said, "How does this intoxicating fragrance taste, I know?"
Liu Fengsui's face was full of disbelief and astonishment. His feet gave way and he fell to the ground with two thumps. Xu Zizhen and Liu Mu were not spared either.
"Zuihunxiang? Are you from Xixia Sanjuetang?" Mother Liu's expression became solemn and she stared at Mo Jingxia, but she couldn't use even half of her strength.
"It should be said that he is from the first three Juetang." Xu Zizhen sat down on the ground with a trace of helplessness on his face. He glanced at Zhao Kai and said, "It seems that the prince is well prepared. I think you may have planned our plan too early."
You guessed it, right?"
Zhao Kai said proudly: "This is natural. Does Mr. Xu think that everything will be fine by sending a little girl into the house to spy secretly? You are looking down on me too much."
Xu Zizhen narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "Where's Dark Green? What did you do to her?"
Zhao Kai chuckled lightly, clapped his hands, and a guard walked out from behind the rockery, holding in his hand a girl with bright eyes and good eyesight. She was dark green, but now her hands were tied behind her back, her hair was messy, her face was dim, and her clothes were upside down.
It's still intact, but many places are filthy, and there are even broken parts, obviously because it was tortured or beaten.
Xu Zizhen felt a sharp stabbing pain in his heart. He had known that sending Dark Green into Prince Yun's Mansion would be risky, but he didn't expect that Dark Green would suffer such a tragic experience. The little face under the moonlight was obviously pale, and the corners of his mouth had a tinge.
With an obvious trace of bloodshot eyes.
"Zhao Kai! Are you still a fucking prince?"
Xu Zizhen could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. If his body hadn't been so numb that he couldn't move, he would have really wanted to rush up and beat up the sanctimonious number one scholar.
Zhao Kai was not angry, he just smiled slightly and said: "It's no wonder Gu, Liu... Oh, you should be called Mr. Zhang. If you don't have any objections and are still willing to work for Gu, where will all these things happen?"
He paused and looked at Xu Zizhen again, "But I really didn't expect that Mr. Xu would come in person today, so it saves me a lot of trouble."
Xu Zizhen sneered: "I advise you to give up on this idea. I will not seek death by working as a coward with you."
A gloomy flash flashed in Zhao Kai's eyes: "Oh? Why is following Gu a path to death? I wonder if Mr. Xu would be willing to tell you frankly?"
Xu Zizhen didn't answer. He stretched out his hand and pointed at Dark Green and said, "Give this girl back first."
Zhao Kai waved his hand, and the guard lifted Dark Lu to Xu Zizhen's side and threw it down. Dark Green seemed to be seriously injured and was in a semi-conscious state. This throw woke her up. She groaned in pain and opened her eyes.
, but found that Xu Zizhen was right in front of her, and she was startled and said anxiously: "Xu Zizhen? You... you hurry up, Prince Yun has discovered me."
Xu Zizhen smiled bitterly: "It's already too late." His hand caressed his dark green cheek, and there was a clear handprint on the originally pink and cute face, which made his heart ache. Xu Zizhen took a deep breath and said softly
, "Does it hurt? I have wronged you this time. I will avenge you later."
Zhao Kai still had a gentle smile on his face: "Mr. Xu, if you agree to follow me, the man who tortured the dark green girl will be handed over to you. Of course, in order to make Mr. Xu feel at ease, Mr. Zhang's mother still needs to be here.
I will rest in my house for a few days. I hope Mr. Xu will not disappoint your brother, right?"
Only then did Mo Lu realize that Xu Zizhen was sitting on the ground, and realized something was wrong, but to Xu Zizhen's surprise, she did not look depressed, but bit her teeth and said bitterly: "Xu Zizhen, please don't agree.
He is basically a bastard prince who is just trying to gain fame."
Xu Zizhen chuckled and praised: "I didn't expect our little Jasmine to have quite a temper. I like it!"
The dark green face turned red, and he unexpectedly became silent and stopped arguing with Xu Zizhen.
Xu Zizhen's body felt weak, but he still insisted on sitting up straight, with one hand supporting the ground and the other holding Dark Green. He raised his head and looked at Zhao Kai and said, "Before I agree to follow you, I wonder if the prince can clear up my confusion for me first?"
Zhao Kai smiled and said: "Xu Zizhen, Mr. Mo's medicine will not be over so quickly. It is useless for you to delay the time, but Gu Yi has always advocated persuading people with virtue. If you have any questions, just ask.
"
Xu Zizhen sneered: "You are so good at persuading people with virtue, okay, then I will ask the prince, I wonder why you detained my aunt to control my brother? You even want to control me now, are you afraid of your subordinates even if you are a prince?
Is there no one? Do you have to ask us two unknown people to work for you?"
Zhao Kai shook his head and said: "Mr. Xu is too modest. You are not a nobody now. You said it yourself just now. You are the God of War in Taiyuan, Lanzhou. I believe that if Mr. Xu can join my army, you will be brave and wise."
You will definitely be able to help me build a great cause."
Xu Zizhen asked curiously: "A great cause? Doesn't the prince still want to lead the army to fight? Oh, I understand, you think it's not enough to just get the first prize in literature, you also have to gain some military exploits, right?"
Zhao Kai glanced at him and said, "Mr. Xu, if people don't speak secretly, don't you know Gu's intentions?"
Xu Zizhen was silent for a moment and sighed softly: "Your Majesty, to be honest, the first impression you gave me was actually quite good, but now...sigh."
Zhao Kai stood proudly with his hands behind his back and said with a sneer: "Have you become more scheming and cunning now? Xu Zizhen, whatever you say, I don't mind. Those who have achieved great things since ancient times don't stick to trivial matters. How do people in the world view Gu now? This doesn't matter.
important."
Xu Zizhen touched Liu Fengsui and said, "Look, he is the prince who has won the first prize. He always talks beautiful words in the same way. No wonder we fell into this trap."
Liu Fengsui now understood that Zhao Kai had already discovered Xu Zizhen and his intentions. I am afraid that today's trap had been prepared early. His eyes were a little sad. Not only did he fall into the trap today, but Xu Zizhen and Zhao Kai were also implicated.
Kai's words made it very clear that he planned to use his friendship with himself as a hostage to blackmail Xu Zizhen into working for him.
Thinking of this, he felt a little angry. No matter how hard he risked his life today, he would let Xu Zizhen leave safely, even if the price he paid would be his own life and his mother's life, but he knew that if he really died here, his mother would also die here.
Just praise him instead of blaming him.
Just when he was about to gather his strength for a desperate fight, Xu Zizhen suddenly patted him on the back without any trace, and then said to Zhao Kai with a smile: "I understand, the big thing that the prince said should be...
How about squeezing the crown prince away and becoming a great treasure yourself?"
