Chapter 62: Profit
Teaching people to do things they are not good at is really reluctant.
"Lord," Mangosteen felt his cheeks burn, and hung his head uneasily, his head almost hanging to his chest, "the slave is really useless. ”
Dou Qingshuang was about to speak, but the mangosteen standing in place suddenly changed his complexion, flashed in front of Dou Qingshuang at that moment, stretched out his arms, protected Dou Qingshuang behind him, leaned forward and bent slightly, and looked around vigilantly.
There was a burst of laughter in the corner, Dou Qingshuang looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a person standing behind the jade curtain at some point, the person saw her looking over, and was not annoyed, stretched out his hand to pick up the pearl curtain, looked at Dou Qingshuang's indifferent eyes, and couldn't help but be a little ambiguous: "I haven't seen you for a few days, your taste seems to have become a little strange." ”
The man's lips were red and his teeth were white, the corners of his narrow eyes were abnormally demonic, he seemed to be smiling but not smiling, his expression was ambiguous, but the bottom of his eyes was cold and abnormal, it was Zhao Yu.
At this time, he was wearing a black coat, playing with a gilded jade fan in his hand, his eyes swept over the person lying on the ground, his eyes fell on Dou Qingshuang's hands like plaster, his expression was stunned, the corners of his eyes trembled slightly, his eyes quickly moved away, and he confronted Dou Qingshuang, "This world should be why you don't want to leave Jiang Mansion, you have this habit." ”
For people like them, who are not rich or rich, except for trivial things, the greatest pleasure in their daily life is to discover those strange habits to satisfy their curiosity.
Obviously, Dou Qingshuang is just an ordinary person.
Mangosteen stared at Zhao Yu deadly, his hand slowly moved back, he touched the extremely sharp hidden weapon, and his breathing was micro-screen, as if he was waiting for an opportunity to die at the touch of a button.
Zhao Yu didn't seem to notice her murderous aura, and walked forward calmly, his footsteps stopped slightly, and the corners of Mangosteen's eyes jumped, knowing that this was an opportunity.
She violently pulled out the secret weapon that could kill instantly, and stabbed at Zhao Yu, Dou Qingshuang was slightly startled, and she didn't have time to stop it, so she could only watch Mangosteen stab past.
The sharp blade stopped about a few inches away from Zhao Yu, and Dou Qingshuang frowned deeply, staring at the few people who appeared like ghosts.
A few black-clothed people are dead cadres trained by Zhao Yu, their martial arts are extremely strong, they only recognize one master in their lives, and a few people trap Mangosteen to death, as long as Zhao Yu gives an order, Mangosteen will be dismantled and thrown directly into the mass grave.
"Lord....woo..." Mangosteen's mouth was covered, and the fishy smell rushed straight to her Tianling Gai, making her nauseous, and her body was strangely unable to use her strength, so she could only stare at the dead person in front of her fiercely with her eyes, she was ruthless, and opened her mouth to take a mouthful.
The man's flesh seemed to be made of steel, so hard that it was fishy and smelly, not to mention biting it, not even a piece of skin could be torn off, but he ate a mouthful of earthy smell, and the smoked mangosteen almost fainted.
She had never felt so useless, tears jumped down, her forehead was slightly bruised, her hands were clenched into fists, and her body trembled.
That's the extreme.
Dou Qingshuang retracted her gaze, looked at Zhao Yu, and after a while, her red lips opened slightly: "The prince doesn't need to go back to cultivate?" ”
He had a big battle last night, and according to ordinary physique, without more than ten days of recuperation, it was absolutely impossible for him to walk on the road so unharmed.
It's just that Zhao Yu's family background is strong, and it is not difficult to save his life with precious medicinal materials, and Dou Qingshuang can't help but laugh at himself in his heart.
When did she become so compassionate?
"It's just a small injury, but this Shizi came this time, but I want to ask you for help once," the smile on the corner of Zhao Yu's lips faded, and he stared at Dou Qingshuang directly, "You want to follow me to meet someone and do something." ”
He rarely uses 'I', Dou Qingshuang frowned slightly, and intuitively felt that this incident was extraordinary, so as not to be inexplicably pulled into the kang, it was better to refuse quickly.
"I ......"
"Let's go," Zhao Yu didn't give her a chance to speak at all, stepped forward and untied the big on her body, draped it on Qingshuang's body, and put her fingers on her shoulders with slight force, telling her to move, "If this matter is done well, you can choose the herbs in Zhao's mansion, but you can only take three samples at most." ”
That was indeed a big temptation, Dou Qingshuang's heart was moved, she swallowed the words back into her stomach, and looked Zhao Yu up and down, "Why should I trust you?" ”
"Whether you believe it or not, you can't escape," the corners of Zhao Yu's lips curled a little, and he looked at her ambiguously, "If you believe it, there is still a possibility of getting the medicinal materials you want, if you don't believe it, then you should have a long insight." If it weren't for the appearance of this son, the girl of the Dou family, I'm afraid that your life would have to be handed over to this group of loyal dead soldiers, wouldn't it be even more wronged? ”
Didn't she hear this from Mangosteen before? It's just that Zhao Yu changed the content, so he used it to warn himself.
Dou Qingshuang raised his eyes to look at Zhao Yu, but the corners of his lips showed a bigger smile, which made people can't help but want to smash it with a punch.
Palace.
The old emperor stared at the teacup in his hand, his face as dark as water.
The tea leaves in the cup are a kind of tea that only grows in winter, and the growing environment is extremely harsh, and the annual output is limited, which is particularly rare.
In order to curry favor with him, the surrounding small countries did not let him lead the soldiers of Nanshu to level their country, and brought the tea he bought in exchange for his life to Nanshu, just because the old emperor was full of joy and faded the idea of attacking them.
In the tea water that is as clear as a green pond, there is a dazzling red, which spreads like a cloud, and opens with ripples, like green leaves on a tree, turning red in an instant, indicating the coming cold wind and wax moon.
The old emperor's face was gloomy.
It seemed as if everywhere he could see was telling him that time was running out.
But he felt that his life had just begun.
The old emperor's face was gloomy and terrifying, and he suddenly slammed the teacup in his hand to the ground, and the teacup instantly shattered into several pieces and splashed everywhere.
Jiang Chenning knelt on the ground, and a porcelain shard scraped his cheek, marking a bloody mark, and the wound gradually oozed blood, dripping down his jaw and onto the ground.
There was a hot pain in his cheeks, but Jiang Chenning didn't dare to move, and Gonggong Liu stood aside, not daring to move, holding his breath, and quietly watching the old emperor's every move from the corner of his eyes.
Since the old emperor was seriously ill, his temperament has changed a lot, and he is still the well-known Ming Jun on the surface, but when he turns around, he can execute all the palace people in front of him.
The corpses that were moved out of the west hall gate were so large that they could no longer be hidden, and the people in the palace were panicked, and no one dared to wander in the place where the old emperor traveled.
No one can guarantee when the old emperor's mood will deteriorate.
"Your Majesty." Gonggong Li from the respectful room walked in with a tow plate, buried his head very low, and knelt with Jiang Chenning, "It's time to turn over the card." ”
The old emperor recently went to the palace more diligently, and everyone was speculating that the old emperor did not give up and wanted to train another person to inherit the crown prince, after all, the prince was ill, and whether he could survive this year was a big problem.
When the old emperor was young, he was preoccupied with national affairs, and he basically didn't go to the harem much, so he had no heirs except for the prince and a few princesses, and when he looked back and thought about these things, it was when he was dying.
The previous monarch of Nanshu died early, leaving a mess for him to solve, and over the years, he has also done his best, painstakingly and laboriously, and finally turned the tide to save Nanshu from the dire situation.
At that time, he didn't think much about it, everything was so beautiful!
The old emperor's eyes became more and more gloomy, Jiang Chenning, who was kneeling on the ground, was sweating on his cheeks, and Gonggong Li, who was kneeling beside him, was even more trembling like a sieve, and his hand holding the plate trembled like a cramp, but he didn't dare to relax in the slightest.
The more scared he became, the more murderous the old emperor became, as long as he did his own thing, his head would be saved.
The old emperor took a deep breath and said, "Let's agree to sleep today." ”
This is the promise of a new promotion, in recent days quite popular with the old emperor, Liu Gonggong heard that she was the child of a noble family, the whole family seems to be killed, only she survived, so she was taken to Nanshu to meet the old emperor, the old emperor was confused by its beauty, so he included people in the palace.
When Gonggong Li heard this, his face was pale and pale, his body trembled faintly, he couldn't care about wiping the sweat on his forehead, gritted his teeth, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Lord, today, the little master's body is not very convenient, otherwise, you choose the concubine!" ”
The room was strangely quiet, and Gonggong Liu hung his head for a long time, only to hear the old emperor's voice slowly falling from above: "These days, the people who are always here seem to be sick on the same day." ”
The old emperor looked at Gonggong Liu, who was standing next to him, "This year, there is a new maple tree, I heard that the leaves are extremely beautiful and magnificent when they turn red, I know that you have been very busy these days, and you have taken care of them flawlessly, I will allow you to call those who promised to come over and water those beautiful flowers for me." ”
Father-in-law Liu's face remained unchanged, and he retreated, he glanced at Gonggong Li, but saw that Gonggong Li's face was white with fright, and his body couldn't stop trembling.
Gonggong Liu sighed helplessly, feeling sad for them inexplicably.
"Let's go down." The old emperor changed a cup of tea again, took a sip, and narrowed his eyes with satisfaction, "I want to talk to the most loyal Jiang Taifu in Nanshu." ”
Gonggong Li was stunned, then smiled, kowtowed to the old emperor a few times, then stood up and retreated towards the door, but before he could take a step out, a few men dressed in black suddenly appeared behind him, and grabbing Gonggong Li was a lock throat, Gonggong Li's hand shook, and the tray in his hand fell, he hoped that someone could take a look at this side, so as to save his life.
The man in black was quick with his eyes, grabbed the tray steadily, and dragged the person into the darkness under the terrified gaze of Gonggong Li.
"Huh," the old emperor sneered, put the tea on the table heavily, and stared at Jiang Chenning who was kneeling on the ground with a smile: "Mrs. Jiang has admired the maple leaves like flames?" ”
