Zhao Guolongcheng, which continued to be shrouded in a sad atmosphere, once again fell into the night. For some, though, the unexpected is bound to happen tonight.

A large mansion in the eastern part of the city, which is clearly different from other places. The people who live here have a noble status, which is what is commonly known as the "aristocratic class".

Among them, the mansion of the Upper Doctor Zizhong is located in the middle of this. Along with him, there were about a dozen nobles who held high positions in the royal court, who had lived here for many years. For the people of Zhao State, the significance of this place is naturally not trivial.

The Doctor in a high position never imagined that one day he would face a huge crisis, and it came so suddenly, when he was not at all prepared, someone would appear in front of him uninvited in this dark night.

"Chu Jiangmian! You, you...... What is this trying to do? ”

If it weren't for the fact that he wasn't old and dizzy, Zizhong would almost suspect that what he was seeing in front of him was an illusion. However, the man who walked in calmly through the doorway, and then sat across from him, staring at him with meaningful eyes, had such a familiar face in the light that he knew with great certainty that this young man was the same prince who was guarding the spirit of the king in the Fushou Palace!

The huge cases in front of me are full of delicacies from the mountains and seas. The level of luxury in the interior is comparable to that of a prince. A few concubines and singers who were waiting beside them, enchanting and beautiful, they didn't know what was going on, they all stood up in surprise, turned their heads to look at the faint flashing sword light and sword shadows outside the door of the spacious hall, and then with frightened expressions, they hid behind the screen of their masters, not knowing whether to leave or stay next.

"Don't be afraid, sit down. This matter has nothing to do with anyone else. Doctor Shang doesn't need to be nervous, I'm here tonight, but I have a few small things I want to discuss with you. ”

Chu Jiangmian, who was sitting peacefully, looked calm and spoke gently. As he spoke, he casually poured himself a glass of wine and drank it all. It's completely anti-guest-oriented, as if it's a family affair with people in Jinxiang Palace.

Zizhong glanced back at the night outside, although he couldn't see it clearly in the dim lights, he knew very well in his heart that Chu Jiangmian could walk in calmly like this, and there was no movement inside and outside the mansion. Obviously, this huge mansion has long been controlled by him from front to back. After all, this doctor is a person who has seen strong winds and waves, he took a deep breath, suppressed the waves surging in his heart, and said coldly to the young man sitting across the table.

"I heard that His Royal Highness the Prince used to trespass into other people's houses without permission, and when I see it today, I can be regarded as enlightened! Hum! ”

"You've heard of that? Well, even if there were...... However, in the past, teenagers were careless, it was all fun, don't take it seriously! When I come to your house tonight, it's a little different than before. ”

A hint of a teasing smile crossed the corner of Chu Jiangmian's mouth. Under the light, Zizhong felt some kind of hideousness, his heart suddenly burst, and he suddenly began to realize that he had probably made a huge mistake. That is to underestimate the ability of this young man, and the price to be paid for it may be fatal!

"Your Highness, you are really doing this

Okay? If the Great King knows and knows that you have committed such a robber act, it will ruin his reputation ...... life. ”

"Doctor, you're too worried! I said you don't have to be afraid, I'm not here to kill. Why are you talking so alarmist? ”

Out of the corner of his eye, Chu Jiangmian noticed a slight tremor in Zizhong's arm. I couldn't help but sneer in my heart, hum! It turns out that the old fox is also afraid of death.

"Then what did you want to do when you entered the minister's mansion at night? Isn't it because I don't support you, so I have a grudge in my heart and want to take the opportunity to vent my anger? ”

"You're completely wrong to think so! Doctor Zizhong, no matter what, you are your father's minister, how could I sneak up and kill you because of a personal vendetta? Don't spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain! I, Chu Jiangmian, am not the one who does such a thing. ”

Chu Jiangmian, who drank a glass of wine, stroked the long sword in his hand casually. The words that came out of his mouth made it impossible to figure out what he meant. Looking at his light and breezy appearance, even Zizhong, who was extremely deep in the city, couldn't help it. He really wanted to pick up the wine jugs on a few cases and hit them with his head and face. Beating him on the head and breaking the blood, beating him all over the face, maybe can dissipate the anxiety and anger in his heart.

However, such a painful thing can only be thought about. The young man standing at the door of the hall was very impressed. This powerful young man killing tigers and bears is like child's play, if he really angers Chu Jiangmian, he gives an order, I'm afraid that everyone in this mansion is not enough for this young man to kill alone! What's more, in the shadows outside, I don't know how many people are following him.

"The queen asked you to come? Or did you come on your own? If you have anything to say, please say it! Even if I had to kill or chop, I would never frown. ”

Zizhong would never believe that Chu Jiangmian came with good intentions. He now regretted that he should have valued this young man a long time ago. In such a dangerous situation as Hulukou, he had the ability to kill all the five hundred dragoons who were pretending to be gone. Such a powerful means, is it what a prince should have! Zizhong even seriously suspected that this quiet guy might have known his role in this. And he deliberately pretended to be reckless, just to confuse everyone. Now he came with a hidden edge, if not to take revenge on himself, then for what?

"I'm a simple person, not as complicated as you think. Actually, I came to visit tonight to ask the doctor for a favor. ”

Chu Jiangmian sat up straight, and when he spoke again, he put away his cynical appearance. Sensing the change in his tone, Zizhong lowered his eyes and quickly calculated in his heart.

"If Your Highness says so, I can't ask for it. In that case, how can we be lazy! Wait for me to tell the people to rearrange the banquet and listen to His Highness talk slowly...... How is it? ”

"No need. Time is tight, I don't have that kind of effort. If Dr. Zizhong is willing to help, when he is done, I will naturally prepare wine in Jinxiang Palace to thank you for your help. ”

Zizhong heard him say such things, it didn't look like a fake. I can't help but settle down, is it because I think wrong? Chu Jiangmian didn't come to take the opportunity to take revenge, but really had something to help?

"Your Royal Highness, please speak up

, I'm listening! If I have the ability to do it, I will not shirk it. ”

"I've never been too strong to make things difficult, and what I'm going to say next, Doctor Shang can naturally do it. Well, let's put it simply. Two things, the first to borrow money, the second to borrow people! ”

Chu Jiangmian raised two fingers and shook them in front of Zizhong's eyes. The Master suddenly felt a dizziness in front of him, and looking at those calm eyes, he clenched his fists tightly. This guy really didn't have a good heart! There are so many rounds around, it turns out that it is a blatant entry into the house to kidnap a ticket!

"How much to borrow? Who else do you want? ”

Zizhong gritted his teeth and asked these two sentences, and he felt that his heart was beating suddenly. I only heard the other party tap a few cases with his fingers and said a number lightly.

"How much? …… 10,000 taels of gold? You might as well kill me! ”

Zizhong almost fell headlong into the ground. He has been in a high position for so many years, and his qi cultivation kung fu is already extraordinary, his joy and anger are invisible, and he will not let others see what he really thinks. But at this moment, he couldn't hold back anymore. couldn't help but shoot the case, his face full of anger.

"Why are you so impulsive? Is 10,000 taels of gold really that much for Doctor Shang? ”

Chu Jiangmian still sat there peacefully, speaking slowly, not even looking at the anger on his face. The concubines hiding next to the screen looked at the scene in horror, and saw that their lord's face was green when they were angry with this legendary prince, and they didn't know what would happen next.

"I have worked hard for Zhao Guo, and I have been loyal to the king over the years. But I didn't expect that he had just left now, and you would be so cruel to me! Chu Jiangmian, you ......! ”

"Yes, you have made a great contribution to Zhao Guo. Because of this, I went out of the palace tonight in person. Otherwise...... Hum! ”

"How else? Do you really dare to casually use a knife against the important ministers of the royal court at this time! ”

"I would never kill someone casually. However, when it is necessary to kill, there will be no mercy. So I want to ask, after the doctor walked out of the gourd, did the blood on the soles of his shoes wipe clean? ”

Stared at by those sharp eyes, Zizhong involuntarily took a few steps back, feeling the cold hairs all over his body stand up. Sure enough, he heard the other party ask again.

"It's just 10,000 taels of gold, you don't think your life is worth even this price, do you?"

There was silence in the hall, and after a little silence, Zizhong sat down again. This Secretary of Zhao Guo's face turned pale. There was no doubt that Chu Jiangmian had completely mastered the conspiracy raid he had participated in in the Nine Elements Mountain. Whatever their purpose, it is a great sin. If it is announced now, the people of Dragon City, who are extremely sad because of King Zhao's death, will definitely tear him to pieces.

"And these things, someone from the Thousand Machines Pavilion sent them to me, I don't know if it's true or not, Lord Shang, take a closer look, I believe you will know it very well in your own heart!"

Someone walked in at the door, holding a large package. Chu Jiangmian took it and put it on the case. Zizhong, who was terrified in his heart, hurriedly opened it, and after just one glance, he knew that the general trend had gone, and he would be completely at the mercy of His Royal Highness the prince from now on.
