Chapter Eighty-Four: Moths to the Fire
After Ji Yao came out of Dingwang's Mansion, she walked directly in the direction of Chang's house, but before she could return to Chang's Mansion, she was intercepted by a group of people.
"The stakes are very high, so I wronged Miss Chang and went back with us." The four burly men couldn't help but cover Ji Yao's mouth, grabbed her arm and walked forward.
Ji Yao was a little frightened at first, thinking that the prince was going to attack so soon, and it would not be difficult for the prince to let these people take his life, so she was very worried that she would not be able to escape.
But soon, Ji Yao smelled the milk fragrance on these burly men, which was the unique smell of passion powder, and Ji Yao immediately guessed their origins, they must be Zhu Shang's subordinates, so they could only be asked by the shopkeeper to do this.
Ji Yao put his mind at ease and followed them very cooperatively, until they stopped in a remote alley.
Without waiting for Ji Yao to say a word, he was pushed into the house behind him, there was no one in the house, only the shopkeeper stood in the courtyard with his hands in his hands.
The resolute back seemed to be making some huge decision, and Ji Yao shouted at his back very strangely: "Shopkeeper?" ”
The shopkeeper slowly turned to Ji Yao when he heard this, and Ji Yao saw a strong murderous aura in his gaze, obviously this murderous aura was aimed at himself.
It has always been a cooperative relationship with them, so Ji Yao didn't know what he had done wrong, which caused him to be so suspicious, thinking about it carefully, but he couldn't think of the reason, but the person in front of him spoke up at this time.
"Mingren doesn't say secret words, Miss Chang has always been half-aware of our plans, we have never taken the initiative to talk about it, and Miss Chang has never taken the initiative to ask. It's just that I don't know, why is Miss Chang acting so abnormally in the past two days? ”
When the shopkeeper said this, his eyes were firmly fixed on Ji Yao, and he was not willing to let go of the look on her face that might appear. Ji Yao was shocked when he heard this, it turned out that the shopkeeper had sent someone to follow him in private, and all his actions these days had not escaped his sight.
That's why he found himself at the first time, took himself to this remote alley, and said these words to himself.
Ji Yao was thinking about how to deal with it in her heart, and the shopkeeper had already spoken again: "Miss Chang has not had any contact with His Royal Highness King Su for a long time, why did she suddenly send a personal maid to send a letter to His Royal Highness King Su yesterday?" There is also Princess Xie Wu, hasn't she been separated from General Chang as Miss Chang wishes? Why did Miss Chang also send a personal maid to deliver a letter to Princess Xie Wei yesterday? Early this morning, I went to the Diding Mansion alone, what does Miss Chang want to do? But what plan do you have in mind? ”
Hearing the shopkeeper's question, Ji Yao became more and more sure that they would make great moves tonight, and he was more and more sure of his foresight, and he had already arranged everything.
For them, Ji Yao did feel guilty in her heart, but she really didn't want to let a good city become a blood-stained hell, even if there was no way to stop this massacre, she also hoped that this massacre could be appropriately mitigated and not become so miserable.
Therefore, she must fall into her brain and try her best to face the shopkeeper's questioning at this moment, because it is possible that because of her inappropriate answer, the shopkeeper's suspicion will be aroused.
She knew that the shopkeeper had experienced many things, ordinary lies, and there was no way to deceive him, so she immediately admitted: "It's mine, it's not that I didn't have time to inform you, because the matter happened in a hurry, I did have someone to send a letter to King Su to reconcile his worries, not only that, but I also made an appointment with Liu Xun......
The shopkeeper looked at Ji Yao in surprise when he heard this, and there was a slight suspicion in his eyes, so he only heard Ji Yao continue: "At a moment tonight, I will get together with them in Zuichun Mansion to help you delay time as much as possible." ”
"Procrastinating?" The shopkeeper's eyes flickered, and he still asked with some suspicion.
Ji Yao nodded heavily, and responded seriously: "Yes, your plan is not difficult to guess, you will make a move tonight, and King Xie Su and Liu Xun are the core forces of Rong Guifei, Donggong and King Ding, respectively, I will help you drag them down, won't it be much more convenient for you to do things?" Your casualties can also be minimized. ”
"Now that you know our plan, you should know how important it is and what it means for us? We've done this pretty much with all our might, and how do you make us believe what you're saying? The shopkeeper wavered, but he did not dare to believe it easily, because the matter was too important, and if it failed, then they would be completely destroyed, and there would be no possibility of getting up to take revenge.
Ji Yao also understands this truth, in fact, she has a very good impression of Zhu Shang's subordinates, but she ...... She had to make a choice...... Ji Yao gritted her teeth, stabilized her emotions and said calmly: "Yes, if the shopkeeper doesn't believe it, you can go to Zuichun Mansion to check and see if I have set a grid for tonight?" In this way, the shopkeeper will know whether what I say is true or false. ”
"Okay, I trust you." Although the shopkeeper said this, he made a look at the burly man not far away, signaled him to go out quickly to verify, and smiled at Ji Yao again, "It's really mine today, wronged Miss Chang, why don't you go in and drink a cup of hot tea before leaving?" It just so happens that I have other things I want to ask Miss Chang for something. ”
The shopkeeper obviously wanted to drag Ji Yao down, and wanted to wait until the burly man verified it before making other decisions, Ji Yao knew that he thought so in his heart, and he had no choice but to do what he said.
"There is nothing wronged or wronged, as long as I can help the shopkeeper, then I can be considered at ease, after all, Zhu Shang has helped me so much in the past, I can't watch his people go to death like moths to a fire one by one, I just hope to do my best to keep a few more little brothers."
When Ji Yao said these words, her heart beat like a drum, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead, and she even looked down on herself a little, it was too much.
The shopkeeper nodded heavily when he heard this, raised his hand to signal Ji Yao to sit down, and personally poured tea for her: "Miss Chang is so grateful to repay her kindness, it is I who is a villain and spends the belly of a gentleman, a cup of tea, even if it is my reparation tea to Miss Chang, Miss Chang must accept my reparation." ”
"Don't be like this, Ji Yao can't stand it." When Ji Yao saw the shopkeeper saying and bowed to himself, he was so frightened that he immediately stood up and hurriedly helped him up, and his heart was almost jumping out of his throat.
What the hell are you doing? Sin!
