Chapter 45: The Concubine Comes from the North
Zhao Yong put the decoction aside and watched the palace people apply the medicine to Wen Ji. In the dusk, Wen Ji, who had already changed into palace clothes, took off the clothes on her shoulders and let the palace people apply medicine to herself. Although the palace man's hand was light, Wen Ji was still in pain, and it seemed that Zhao Yi's palm had put some strength into practice, leaving a dark black palm print on her snow-white shoulder. And Wen Ji could only endure the pain, which made Zhao Yong feel distressed when he saw it.
"It's not that it's wrong to be a lonely hospitality, it's that it's extremely dangerous for you to break into the royal city at night, and put it anywhere. Do I want to drink three glasses with you before I do it? Zhao Yong said helplessly.
Wen Ji gave him a blank look, and the pain made her reluctant to deal with the person in front of her.
Zhao Yong looked at her charming appearance, and was about to say something when he heard someone outside the dormitory calling him. He opened the door and saw Xi bowing outside the door, and behind him was Zhao Yi with a guilty face. said indifferently: "It's been notified?" ”
"According to the king's orders, all the guards and palace people were required to keep their mouths out. Mrs. Tai has also explained the situation, and Mrs. Tai has already slept peacefully. ”
"En", Zhao Yong nodded, glanced at Zhao Yi, and said lightly: "Zhao Yi, this time, you rescued in time, and you were exempted from the death penalty." If there is a next time, you and the leaders of the black-clothed guards will all go and die. ”
"Thank you." Zhao Yi instantly felt a cold sweat on his back.
Zhao Yong was also helpless, he had just cleaned the black-clothed guards, and he couldn't clean them again, and there was nothing left and right, so he let him go. "However, if tonight's incident gets out, this capital crime is still inevitable, can you know?"
"Yes." Zhao Yi and Xidu bowed and said. Although the two didn't know what the relationship between the female assassin and Zhao Yong was, looking at Zhao Yong's intention of daring to leave her in his bedroom, they knew that the relationship between the two was not ordinary, and this kind of thing naturally couldn't be said.
asked the two to retreat, and the palace people also dressed up the medicine for Wen Ji and were about to leave. Zhao Yong grabbed her hand and whispered a few words in her ear. The palace man seemed to have heard something of great joy, flattered, and quickly knelt down to thank Zhao Yong. He left the dormitory happily.
Wen Ji looked at all this and said suspiciously: "What did you say to her, she seemed to be very happy?" ”
Zhao Yong walked to the side of the bed, picked up the decoction and blew it, handed it to her mouth and said, "It's nothing, Lone told her that from tomorrow, let her come to the dormitory to serve." Come on, drink it. ”
"Don't drink it, it's too bitter." Wen Ji frowned and said, "Where did she serve before?" It's just a change of place, so happy? ”
"It's not the same. She used to be in the side hall, and she barely saw a few people. Being able to come to the dormitory this time not only has hope, but also has the hope of flying on the branches and becoming a phoenix. Zhao Yong said, "Good medicine is bitter." ”
Wen Ji was helpless, took the medicine bowl, took a sip, and spit it out again. His whole face wrinkled. Zhao Yong smiled and took out a small bowl from the side, lifted the lid, took out a small spoon, picked out a little light yellow solid inside, put it in a small bowl full of water, and handed it over.
Wen Ji glanced at him and knew that Zhao Yong would definitely not harm herself, but she also took a sip slightly, and raised her eyebrows, "Honey?" ”
"Honey, drink it first, and let the canteen bring honey bait and honey cakes later." Zhao Yong said, pulled over a bench, and sat opposite her, "I didn't expect that a very heroic female assassin was still afraid of suffering. ”
This is unreasonable. Men are not afraid of hardship? By the way, you just said, why did the palace people fly into a phoenix because they arrived at the dormitory? By this time, Wen Ji's curiosity had not diminished at all.
"A woman, in this troubled world, is not very easy to live. Now that I'm in the dormitory, if I'm happy one day, I'm lucky with her, don't you have to worry about your own safety? ”
Zhao Yong has something to say, and Wen Ji is not a fool. She pretended not to know what Zhao Yong meant, and drank **** carefully.
Zhao Yong knew that he couldn't control her thoughts, so he immediately asked, "Tell me, why did you come to assassinate Yu Gu late at night?" What did Lone do that made you hate it so much? ”
This sentence, the king said wrong. The concubine came to visit late at night, of course, she had important things to report to the king, so as to complete the agreement on the exchange of information between you and me. Wen Ji said, put the decoction on the table, and looked at him with a smile, this man, not to mention different from other monarchs, even other men, seems to be very different.
"Then may I ask Miss Wen Ji, what kind of important information makes you not hesitate to break into the royal city at night, and assassinate me, the king of a country, in the posture of a delicate willow?" Having said that, until now, Zhao Yong didn't believe that Wen Ji really came at him. Otherwise, no one else will be sent away, and they will be kept secret.
"Well, it depends on the sincerity of the king?" She smiled proudly, the corners of her mouth were clear, her eyebrows were slightly upturned, and she looked at him proudly with a playful smile.
For this kind of thing, Zhao Yong's way of dealing with it is generally very simple, very direct, and most importantly, very fragrant.
Zhao Yong didn't say a word, raised Wen Ji's pretty face, and kissed it fiercely at the seductive red. Wen Ji didn't expect that Zhao Yong, who was polite just now, turned into a human wolf while talking, and kissed herself unceremoniously, losing her mind for a while, and let her succeed. How did she know that Zhao Yong had just been teased by the two palace people for a while, and as soon as she was suppressed, she sent it to the door, who would refuse such a good thing?
Lean slightly, lips parted. Zhao Yong smiled evilly, looked at Wen Ji, who was about to collapse on the bed, and laughed: "Is Miss Wen Ji still satisfied with this reward?" ”
Wen Ji's face was flushed, and her brain was a little short-circuited just now, but she didn't expect to let this guy take advantage of her in a daze. As soon as he came back to his senses, Zhao Yong's words made him half angry. I couldn't help but reach out and kick him. But just as she was about to exert her strength, the injury in her shoulder hurt again, which made her moan a little.
"Someone once said that smart women know that there is one of the best strategies for dealing with men, and that is to make men think she is weak." Zhao Yong said helplessly, and handed the decoction over, "Drink it quickly, take a rest after drinking." When you're healed, leave again. With that, Zhao Yong was about to leave.
"Huh." Wen Ji took Zhao Yong's hand, there was some reluctance in her eyes, she pursed her lips, and said solemnly, "The concubine really has important information to tell you." ”
"Okay, you can say it." Zhao Yong turned around, he thought that Wen Ji had come to this strange place, and he was a little scared, so he asked himself to accompany her.
Wen Ji drank the decoction and said solemnly: "It is possible that the Yan Kingdom will invade the Zhao Kingdom. ”
"Uh.." Zhao Yong was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Wen Ji seriously, "Really? ”
"Absolutely." Wen Ji said, "This is the news that the concubine heard herself. ”
If Zhao Yong is most worried about the problem now, it is that he is busy with reform, and others are making trouble for him. If it was the State of Qi, he could cede the land of Gaotang as promised before, and ensure that the State of Qi would not attack the State of Zhao.
If it is Zhongshan, he now holds the house and the city, as long as the two cities are there, he is not afraid of any moths. This is also the reason why he made up his mind to attack Zhongshan.
If it is Wei and Korea, they will not find trouble for themselves, one of them is wrestling with Chu State, and the other is marrying Zhao State, and they will not come out to make trouble at this time.
As for the State of Qin, it is not clear with the State of Wei now, and it seems that it has been involved with the State of Chu and the State of Qi recently, and it is not impossible to attack the State of Zhao at this time, but it is relatively small.
So what kind of considerations did Yan Guo have to attack Zhao State?
"Where did you hear that?" Zhao Yong asked suspiciously.
Wen Ji saw that he was just frowning, and he didn't seem to be too anxious, and he was a little relieved, so he said to him, "In the royal city of Zhongshan Kingdom. ”
"What the hell is going on?"
"Listen to me slowly."
It turned out that after Wen Ji successfully arrived in Lingshou, she was welcomed by all walks of life in Zhongshan, especially the Zhongshan Kingdom, which was influenced by the Zhao State and the Qi State, and gradually moved closer to the Central Plains culture, and some Di cultures were gradually abandoned by them. The nobles of Zhongshan are keen on high-minded talk and some anecdotes about the affairs of the Qi Kingdom. So much so that the entire Lingshou City could not show that it was once a city built by Di Yi.
"It seems that the adults of Lingshou really think that if their hearts are towards the Central Plains, they will be able to move closer to the Central Plains, in fact, if they are not of my race, their hearts must be different, this sentence is definitely not something that is said casually." Zhao Yong sighed.
"Actually, from the perspective of the concubine, Zhongshan is not so stable, at least as the illness of Zhongshan Gong becomes more and more serious, the contradiction between Sima Cheng and the prince of Xiangbang is becoming more and more prominent, and it will erupt at any time, just waiting for the day when Zhongshan Gong dies." Wen Ji said.
"Well, this point really can't be guarded against." Zhao Yong muttered to himself as he spoke. It seems that when the Duke of Zhongshan died, he may not be able to write a good article. "And then, how did you get that news?"
"It's the same as today, after the concubine arrived at Lingshou, she communicated with the local scholars in the morning, and inquired about the whereabouts of He's Bi by the way, and finally, the concubine knew by chance that He's Bi was in Lingshou Wangcheng, but no one could say exactly where it was." Wen Ji said, looking at Zhao Yong with a firm look in her eyes, "So the concubine is like tonight, exploring Lingshou Wang City at night, hoping to find some clues." ”
When Zhao Yong heard this, he frowned, but he couldn't bear to interrupt, so he could only let her continue to talk. "After the concubine entered the royal city at night, she not only looked for the warehouse of the royal city, but also turned over the main hall and several halls of the royal city, but there was no news. Just when the concubine was about to give up, the concubine thought that the dormitory had not yet been investigated, so she turned over and went to the dormitory. ”
When the concubine entered the dormitory, she found that the dormitory was brightly lit, and the concubine thought that this time she was afraid that she would return in vain, so she was ready to leave. But I heard the people inside say, 'The child thinks that the words of the state should not be believed.'"
