Chapter 203: A Man's Scheming
Autumn nights are cool.
The bright moon in the sky was like water, reflecting Zong Zheng's cautious and handsome face.
He hesitated for a moment, but finally said what he had to say.
"Zhong Jiuchou left this time just for her."
Ran Shaotang's face was as usual, but his dark eyes were a little cold: "Oh? Her voice twhirled, and there was a hint of dullness and thinness in the quiet of the night.
Zong Zheng stared at her reaction cautiously, although he despised his unkindness, but he felt that the eldest husband was informal, in order to clear the obstacles between him and Ran Shaotang, this villain, he was done.
"Shi Hanzhang is the childhood sweetheart of the final young master. She and Xuanyuan Zheng's son ascended the throne as emperors at the age of four, and the other two princes were not convinced and had the intention of rebellion. Zhong Jiuchou went back this time to help her calm the chaos. ”
Ran Shaotang knew that Zhong Jiuchou was Shi Xi's adopted son, and felt that his kind of character went back to help Shi Hanzhang, who grew up together since childhood, and it was understandable to do so.
"He told me that Shi Hanzhang is his sister. For the sake of his adoptive father's nurturing grace, he should also help her. ”
"He told you?"
"Questions?"
"The so-called opposite-sex brothers and sisters are all lovers under the guise of blinding the eyes of the world." Zong Zheng sneered.
Ran Shaotang didn't know where the evil fire came from, and scolded him: "Even if it's a lover, it has nothing to do with you, is it interesting for you to say bad things about others behind the back of a big man?" ”
Zong Zhengshen heard her intention to defend the final nine domains, and his mood instantly fell.
"Yes, it has nothing to do with me. But it has something to do with you. ”
"What does it have to do with me? What the hell do you care about something I don't know myself? Ran Shaotang glared at Zong Zhengshen with confidence.
Zong Zheng listened cautiously, and was both happy and suspicious for a while.
It would be nice if it was really like what Ran Shaotang said. It was as if he had a wrong premonition.
However, when she heard that Zhong Jiuchou was to help Shi Hanzhang without saying goodbye, the loss in her eyes was obviously unconcealable.
Could it be that she is not right-hearted?
"I hope it has nothing to do with you. I'm worrying about it for nothing. ”
Ran Shaotang sneered: "What do you mean?" ”
Zong Zhengshen also sneered: "That's what you think." ”
Ran Shaotang glared at Zong Zhengshen vigilantly.
She remembered the first life, she was in the back house, and occasionally heard her father and mother talk about it, the little emperor Gao Xi was just a puppet, and the real power was the regent Xuanyuan Yin.
Moreover, the relationship between this Xuanyuan Yin and the Queen Mother is a little ambiguous......
Now that I think about it, the Queen Mother and the little emperor's orphans and widows, King Xiao and King Ye are watching left and right, and if she wants to survive, she has something to do with the regent, but it is her wise move.
Although she doesn't agree with such a relationship, these two have nothing to do with her, love is what it is, why should she bother with it.
If there is an abnormal relationship between the Queen Mother and the Regent, then the Final Nine Domains will naturally be the one abandoned by Shi Hanzhang.
No wonder a few days ago, Zhong Jiuchou stood alone on the roof and drank alcohol.
When she mentioned the relationship between the Queen Mother and him, he looked very unhappy.
For this reason, he also murdered himself with two sentences, what "some things can be joked about, and some things can't." Don't let me hear these words again next time", it seems that King Xiang is intentional, and the goddess is ruthless.
Zong Zhengshen was a little strange, why Ran Shaotang suddenly pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled.
What is this girl thinking?
"What are you laughing at?"
"I don't care if I laugh at you? It's a bit too much. ”
"This is for your good, you don't look at the wrong person, pay the wrong heart."
This sentence was like a sharp sword slashing at Ran Shaotang's heart.
The smile on her face quickly faded.
The tone was also cold: "Zong Zhengshen, don't hide what you say, what do you want to say?" ”
She became more and more suspicious that Zong Zhengshen had noticed her daughter's body.
I wonder if if she kills him, will she rewrite the history of Kyushu?
At that moment, Zong Zhengshen actually caught a glimpse of a trace of murderous intent in her eyes.
A pain in my heart.
I still need to persuade again, but I saw a sudden boom from the east, and immediately there was a firelight, and the sound of fighting overwhelmingly surged to my ears.
Ran Shaotang also saw the abnormality over there, exclaimed, "Not good", and turned around and ran towards the courtyard where Gu Wanqi was imprisoned.
Zong Zhengshen also knew that something was wrong, whistled at the dark night, and flew to chase Ran Shaotang.
Song Ao, who had been following the two of them, looked at the fire that had been red for a long time, and he was not afraid that Zong Zhengshen would find out his whereabouts, so he used light skills to go in the direction of Ran Shaotang.
Zong Zhengshen looked at the figure that surpassed him, and Shentan's eyes narrowed.
When Ran Shaotang arrived, the fire in the yard was out of control, and although Sanqi organized people to put out the fire in an orderly manner, there was still no tendency to weaken.
"Are all of us out?" Ran Shaotang frowned and looked at the fire and asked Sanqi. This is definitely not an accident.
Sanqi hung his head guiltily: "I'm sorry Childe, a few secret guards died." More than 20 people broke in, our secret guard had just finished digging the dungeon and was still resting, and there were four people left here, who were exploited by the other party. ”
Ran Shaotang's heart ached slightly, these secret guards were carefully cultivated by her, and they couldn't be sacrificed in vain. She glanced at Song Ao who came over and asked Sanqi: "Where is Gu Wanqi?" ”
Sanqi replied in a low voice: "He was rescued." ”
"Hmph, the other party came prepared. I was careless. Ran Shaotang looked at the invincible fire, and only felt that the whole person was scorched by the heat of the flame, and he was upset.
Sanqi was very uneasy in his heart, he didn't look at people, let people save Gu Wanqi, not to mention, and several brothers died. It's really shameless to face Ran Shaotang.
Zong Zhengshen stood next to Ran Shaotang, feeling the heat of the fire, and frowned: "This is not an ordinary fire, did they pour fire oil?" ”
Guo Xia, who had fought with the enemy, stepped forward and said, "It's not fire oil, it's gunpowder." After they saved people, they lit the gunpowder that had been placed in the corner of the wall a long time ago. Fortunately, Brother Sanqi and I ran fast. Several of the other brothers were fighting with their men and didn't have time to run, so they ......"
Ran Shaotang's eyes were sharp, and he clenched his fists tightly: "You mean that the other party doesn't care about the life and death of his own people?" ”
Guo Xia's leg was hit by the rubble from the gunpowder explosion, and he was still dripping blood, he held the wound with his hand and nodded with difficulty: "Yes, these people take human lives as a child's play, if it weren't for those few people who dragged our people, those secret guard brothers wouldn't have died." ”
Zong Zhengshen's eyes were deep: "It seems that Gu Wanqi is very important to them. At the cost of human life. ”
Ran Shaotang turned his head and sneered at him: "What about your 5,000 army? How can you protect you, the wise king, and let the enemy sneak in so easily? Don't be a mole. ”
Zong Zhengshen was also angry, and called "Someone is coming", and Meng De immediately stepped forward to listen to the order.
Zong Zhengshen said "go and check", Meng De said yes and retreated.
The fire did not abate in the slightest, but licked towards the nearby yard.
Ran Shaotang asked Sanqi to organize the firefighting, only to find that Guo Xia, who was standing next to him, was pale and crumbling.
