With the north wind howling, Xiang Shaolong and Jing Jun silently jumped over the wall, avoiding the patrols and sentry posts, and arrived at the garden outside Zhu Ji Tower.
Jing Jun stayed behind as a lookout, and Xiang Shaolong walked to the window on the second floor by a familiar route. With a gentle push, the window door opened.
Zhu Ji's voice whispered from inside: "Is it Shaolong? Come in quickly."
Xiang Shaolong jumped through the window and entered the house.
Zhu Ji hurriedly closed the window door, turned around and leaned against the window sill, her chest kept rising and falling, showing that she was nervous.
There was only one dim lamp in the room, and since it was placed in the corner of the window sill, the shadows of the two people were unexpectedly reflected on the window paper.
The lights emphasized the right half of Zhu Ji's body, while the left half was hidden in the shadows, making her exquisite and convex figure more three-dimensional and extremely alluring.
There was a fire pot burning in the room, and it was as warm as spring, so even though Zhu Ji's clothes were thin, she still felt so comfortable.
Her beautiful eyes burned like a torch, with even more scorching warmth. She stared at Xiang Shaolong for a moment, as if she wanted to study his internal organs.
This was the first time that Xiang Shaolong encountered such a bold and wild woman, who was not afraid of men at all. His heart couldn't help but beat wildly, but he looked at her coldly on the surface.
This is a woman who is by no means simple.
Zhu Ji's lips parted lightly and she said, "Xiang Shaolong, can I trust you?"
Xiang Shaolong smiled slightly and said: "It seems that Madam has no choice."
Zhu Ji's eyes were deep as she said, "Even if I can trust you, why do you have the ability to take our mother and son out?"
Xiang Shaolong secretly thought that since I can sneak here, I can naturally take you out. He was about to blurt out, but suddenly realized something was wrong and changed his words: "This is exactly why I came to discuss with Madam, because I guessed that Zhao
Mu will definitely concentrate all his efforts on the crown prince."
Zhu Ji nodded and said: "You are very smart. No wonder Zhao Mu is so jealous of you. Every time they talk about you, I listen very carefully. I didn't expect Bu Wei to find you. It's really good."
When Xiang Shaolong heard her talking about Lu Buwei, he felt as if he was talking about a stranger, and felt stunned. It seemed that she would not be loyal to any man. Men were using her, and she was also using men.
He frowned and said, "How is the situation on the Crown Prince's side?"
Zhu Ji sighed softly: "Unless you lead a large army to attack Handan City, there is no way you can take him away. Since Yiren Langjun came to the throne, Zhao Mu has mobilized two hundred skilled warriors to work in the mansion day and night.
He will be guarded inside, and a high wall will be built outside, creating a house within the house, and a battalion of nearly a thousand guardsmen will always be guarding it. Unless you can turn into a bird, you can't even think of sneaking in to see him."
Xiang Shaolong frowned when he heard that. Today Wu Yingyuan told Xiao Yuetan that the Proton Mansion was heavily guarded. Not only did he not exaggerate, he also "exaggerated" the truth.
Zhu Ji said calmly as if nothing had happened: "And even if he was rescued, it would be useless. Zhao Munai, a great expert in medicine, gave him a strange medicine. He must take the antidote regularly to be fine. If there is no antidote, he will be fine."
, he will be poisoned to death within ten days.”
Xiang Shaolong's entire spine looked like icicles frozen in ice.
Oh my god, is this the future Qin Shihuang?
This time there is really a tiger in front and a wolf at the back door. It is a dilemma.
I thought it would be easy to save the mother and son, but I was so naive.
He let out a breath of cold air and said: "Other than just using it to vent one's anger, holding the prince captive like this will do no good to the people of Zhao."
Zhu Ji said lightly: "You should also have heard of Zhao Mu's conspiracy to deliberately turn him into a useless person through drinking and sex. To be honest, Zhao Mu wished he could send him back to be the king of Qin. But now is not the time, because it will be easier for Lu Buwei.
,Do you understand it?"
Of course Xiang Shaolong understood that Lu Buwei was so eager to transport mother and son back to Xianyang just to strengthen his relationship with King Zhuang Xiang.
At this moment, he finally realized that when Zhu Ji mentioned his son, he only said "him" without any title or calling him by his name. His tone was so cold and shocking that he couldn't help but be confused for a moment.
Zhu Ji suddenly said harshly: "It would be better if this kid is dead. When I see him, I get angry for no reason."
Xiang Shaolong was shocked. People say that tigers are poisonous and cannot eat their seeds. Why would Zhu Ji curse her precious son who could make her the Queen Mother?
Zhu Ji moved over, took his hand, pulled him towards the couch, and said softly: "We'll talk about it when we get to the couch."
First, Xiang Shaolong was completely out of mood; secondly, he was still exhausted after his ridiculous encounter with Chunying and the other girls; thirdly, he remembered the warning not to have an affair with the woman who was also forbidden by Lu Buwei and King Zhuang Xiang.
Shocked, he stroked her with his backhand and said, "I'm afraid the time and place are not suitable."
Zhu Ji said angrily: "Don't you think people don't know? It's just that those maids are ordered to visit me every once in a while and hide on the couch, which is much safer."
Xiang Shaolong thought that he had misunderstood her, so he hurriedly followed her into the tent, and the fragrance immediately filled his nose.
Zhu Ji asked him to lie on the inside, covering the two of them with a brocade quilt. She turned around and squeezed into his arms, hugging him tightly. She put her little mouth to his ear and whispered: "The slave family wants to tell you a big secret, but
I need you to swear a vow not to tell anyone before I can let you know. Alas, I have no choice, so I have to tell you. I am not allowed to step out of the house here, and there is no one I can trust.
.”
Xiang Shaolong was greatly surprised, what secret was so powerful that he had to swear to keep it to himself?
He replied: "I, Xiang Shaolong, stick to my word and will never break my promise. Madam, please rest assured."
Zhu Ji said happily: "I know you are the kind of person who always keeps your word, but the slave family is still worried, so you can just accommodate them."
The beautiful woman begged softly, but in desperation, Xiang Shaolong had no choice but to make a poisonous oath. At the same time, he secretly laughed in his heart. Mr. Xiang did not believe that the poisonous oath would come true. What binding force does it have on me? But since I agreed, I will not take it lightly.
Say it to people.
Zhu Ji hesitated for a while, then lowered her voice and said: "The child they have under house arrest is not my son at all."
Xiang Shaolong almost cried out in surprise.
Oh my God, what the hell is going on?
Before Zhu Ji had a chance to speak again, there was a knock on the door, and the maid said outside the door: "Is Madam asleep? The Marquis is here."
Xiang Shaolong was stunned and was about to jump up when Zhu Ji held him down, reached forward and pressed on the bed decoration. The place where Xiang Shaolong was lying immediately turned into a trap and rolled him to the secret compartment under the bed.
.
In an instant, Xiang Shaolong went from the warm quilt on the couch to lying in a dark room under the bed with a quilt at the bottom. Fortunately, there were ventilation holes, so there was no shortage of air.
The door opened, and Zhao Mu's voice said: "Beauty, I am here to visit you."
Zhu Ji replied: "Master Hou is in good spirits today. Something must have happened that makes you happy. My family is very happy for you."
At this moment, Xiang Shaolong, who was in the secret compartment, guessed that the secret compartment where he was lying must be Guo Kai's "adulterer" secret compartment. Hearing this, he also praised Zhu Ji for knowing how to intoxicate men.
Then he "feeled" Zhao and Zhu sitting down on the edge of the couch, as well as the sound of kissing and Zhu Ji's bone-shattering gasping sound.
After a while, Zhao Mu said with a smile: "I heard that your Lu Lang sent Tu to Handan to rescue you. Are you happy, my beauty?"
Zhu Ji said angrily: "Don't you know what the slave family wants? Without you, I don't want to go anywhere, and this is just a rumor. Who would be stupid enough to come here to die?"
Xiang Shaolong below was so impressed that Zhu Ji was eavesdropping on what Zhao Mu was saying.
Sure enough, Zhao Mu snorted coldly and said: "How can it be a rumor? Now the old ministers of Qin are fighting fiercely with Lu Buwei, trying to make him bear the responsibility of poisoning the late king. I'm afraid even your King Zhuang Xiang can't protect him. Lu Buwei is dead.
I will send you mother and son back to Xianyang, so don’t forget me then."
Although Zhao Mu did not say it out loud, both Xiang Shaolong and Zhu Ji guessed that the news must have come from the Qin Dynasty dignitaries who wanted to overthrow Lu Buwei.
The struggle between outsiders and local officials in the Qin Dynasty involved a wide range of things.
The main battlefield was in Qinting, but the secondary battlefield was in Handan.
What was originally a very simple matter has become extremely complicated. Especially what Zhu Ji said just now is unexpected and earth-shattering.
Zhu Ji Dajiao said angrily: "If you don't go back, I won't go back. You Zheng'er can go back. I want to stay here with you."
Even Xiang Shaolong below was dumbfounded. How could she say something so real and touching? If she were allowed to go to the 21st century, she would be a super star in the entertainment industry. Zhao Mu was completely resigned and kissed her again.
The words that came out of his mouth were mixed with the sound of clothes rubbing against Zhao Mumao's hands and feet, as well as the erotic laughter and moans of men and women. Xiang Shaolong sighed deeply. If the two of them were having fun on the couch, he would be even more uncomfortable.
It would be really easy for him to assassinate Zhao Mu at this time, but of course he would not be stupid enough to do that.
The good thing is that Zhao Mu was not done talking and stopped intruding on Zhu Ji and said: "I am so happy today because that bitch Zhao Ya finally fell into my scheme and couldn't extricate herself. No one knows her better than me.
, is obsessed with glory and wealth, and is greedy for the new and forgets the old, but she is already very special to Xiang Shaolong. Fortunately, I have another killer trick, which is to teach King Xiaocheng to act like a brother and sister, plus the stakes, then
To the point where she doesn’t sincerely give in?”
Xiang Shaolong's heart sank. After all, Zhao Ya had really betrayed him. I wonder how much she had revealed about herself to Brother Wang? Fortunately, in order not to worry her, he didn't tell her many things, otherwise it would have been much worse.
Unimaginable.
Zhu Ji said deliberately: "Why are you gnashing your teeth all day long talking about Xiang Shaolong? What does he have to do with the slave family? They have no interest in him at all."
How did Zhao Mu know that this cunning woman was trying to find out what he was talking about, or that he simply didn't take precautions against this beauty who had lost her freedom? He said calmly: "How could it not be related? The Wu family has always been in contact with Lu Buwei, and Xiang Shaolong is from the Wu family.
Son-in-law, if Lu Buwei comes to steal someone, he will have to rely on the strength of the Wu family." He paused and snorted coldly: "Don't let Xiang Shaolong fall into my hands, otherwise I will make him regret his life. **He
, you have to watch from the sidelines.”
Xiang Shaolong below heard this and gritted his teeth, wishing he could rush out and kill him.
Of course Zhu Ji knew that Xiang Shaolong was listening, so she couldn't help but laugh and said: "How can that young boy defeat you? Sooner or later, he will fall into your hands and do whatever you want."
Zhao Muxian was excited after hearing this and said: "Come to bed."
Zhu Ji finally had some conscience and refused to comply: "It's interesting to come here in the middle of the night to wake people up. They are so tired that they are hungry."
Zhao Muxian was extremely obsessed with her and hurriedly summoned people to get snacks for Zhu Ji, and then he said with satisfaction: "No one in Zhao State dares to offend me now. Once the Wu family is uprooted, no one will dare to look at me anymore."
Mr. Zhao acted on his face."
After a few words of flattery, Zhu Ji said softly: "I think Xiang Shaolong must be an out-and-out idiot. Otherwise, how could he believe that Zhao Ya, who is famous for his lewdness, would be loyal and devoted to him?"
Xiang Shaolong could only smile bitterly, these two words from Zhu Ji were of course a free gift to him.
Zhao Muna wanted to know that there was such a twist in it, so he replied seriously: "You are wrong. Zhao Ya really has true feelings for Xiang Shaolong, so she still hides many things from him until now. But I understand her too well, so
How can she defeat me? She doesn't want to die together with Xiang Shaolong, so she has to cooperate with me." He sighed comfortably and said: "Not only is this kid Xiang Shaolong not stupid, he is also very powerful. If he hadn't been caught
With Zhao Ya's weakness, we still don't know who will win."
Xiang Shaolong remembered something and immediately started sweating profusely.
If Zhao Qian told Zhao Ya about Ji Yanran and Zou Yan rescuing them in Daliang, and then told Zhao Mu, then Ji Yanran and Zou Yan would be in great danger.
At this time the maid came to announce that the food was ready.
Zhao Mu and Zhu Ji stepped out of the room.
If you don’t leave now, wait until later.
Xiang Shaolong shouted "Thank God" and walked away quickly.
Zhao Qian tossed and turned on the couch, unable to fall asleep.
Without Xiang Shaolong by her side, she felt helpless.
She thought of Zhao Pan again. The child who had lost his mother had become increasingly gloomy and scary. He only felt a little naive and happy when facing her and Xiang Shaolong. He didn't even sell Zhao Ya's account.
If he acted more fragile, Zhao Qian would feel better.
At this moment, the curtain was suddenly opened, and when he was about to exclaim, Xiang Shaolong's familiar voice said: "Qian'er is Shaolong"
Zhao Qian thought that Ailang would appear next to the bed in the dead of night, and she rushed over in ecstasy, hugging him tightly.
Xiang Shaolong took off his boots, hugged her and got into bed, kissed her for a long time, and then asked in a low voice: "Have you told Mrs. Ya about Sister Yanran rescuing us?"
Zhao Qian was so smart. She was shocked when she heard this and said, "Isn't there something wrong with her? Why would there be a problem if I told her?"
Xiang Shaolong changed his expression and said: "That means you have already told her."
Zhao Qian shook her head and said: "No. But it's not that I don't trust her, it's that I promised Sister Yanran that I would never tell anyone about this, so I only told her the story we made up a long time ago."
Xiang Shaolong breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Qian's delicate body trembled and she said: "My God, what did Madam do? I have to trouble you to sneak in in the middle of the night and ask Qian'er such a question."
Xiang Shaolong caressed her pink back lovingly and said, "Have you seen her tonight?"
Zhao Qian said: "I heard that she has guests coming, so it's not convenient for me to go there. Oh, I remembered that every time she said she had guests coming, Xiao Zhao and the others looked very strange, as if they were full of resentment, but they couldn't say anything.
Looks like, is that guest □□?"
Xiang Shaolong has long been numb and will no longer be excited about Zhao Ya and Qi Yu's secret love. He is a free and easy person who can afford to let go.
He once proposed to Zhao Ya to let Jing Jun and others protect her, but she firmly refused. He didn't agree at the time, but now he knows that she didn't want him to know about his affair with Qi Yu.
Zhao Qian said: "Xiang Lang, please tell me what is going on?"
Xiang Shaolong said: "Have you felt anything strange about Madam these past few days?"
Zhao Qian thought for a while and then said thoughtfully: "Let me tell you this, Madam really seems to be different from before. She is in a trance from time to time. One time I even found her crying alone. When I asked her, she just said
He said that he thought of Mrs. Ni. Sometimes she tries to control people's tempers without any reason." Zaibui urged: "What is going on? I feel so depressed."
Xiang Shaolong sighed and said, "Think again, did she say anything special, such as we can never escape, and so on."
Zhao Qian said: "That's not the case, but she once mentioned that Lu Buwei can't protect himself now, and there may be a catastrophe of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan at any time. If we follow the Wu family to seek refuge with him, we will walk from the wolf's mouth to the tiger's mouth."
Xiang Shaolong said: "Then how do you answer her?"
Zhao Qian kissed him and said: "I said as long as I can follow you, it doesn't matter if I die." Then she was shocked and said: "Yes, she looked very strange at the time. Looking back, she seemed to be ashamed and regretful. Then she left with an excuse.
.”
Xiang Shaolong has completely given up on Zhao Ya.
Zhao Mu was right, he knew Zhao Ya better than Xiang Shaolong. So he used this fickle woman to harm him twice.
After sighing, he told Zhao Qian the general situation.
Zhao Qian had already anticipated the general situation and was surprisingly calm.
Xiang Shaolong said: "You must act as if nothing has happened."
Zhao Qian kissed her affectionately and said tenderly: "Qian'er understands, I have great confidence in you, the new saint, and I know you will be able to lead Qian'er and the Wu family through the disaster safely."
Xiang Shaolong said before leaving: "Are you really willing to leave your father behind and follow me to accept an unpredictable fate?"
Zhao Qian nodded affirmatively and said: "As long as I can leave my father, Qian'er is not afraid of anything. There is something I haven't told you yet. After my mother died, Qian'er's nanny once said something to curse Zhao Mu, and it was passed down from generation to generation.
When I got to my father, he immediately gave me poisonous wine to the wet nurse. Before she died, she held my hand and told me in tears: If I have the chance, I must stay away from the palace. Being an ordinary daughter is much better than being a princess."
Xiang Shaolong was deeply moved when he heard this.
He really doesn't understand the mentality of the royal family, just like he doesn't understand Zhao Ya.
