Chapter Twenty-Seven: Throwing Yourself into the Net
Discerning Zhao Qinxiu's expression, Yun Zhen knew that she had now thought through all these joints, and she had to sigh slightly in her heart.
Faced with such a temptation, Zhao Qinxiu did not blindly agree, but moved his gaze to Yun Zhen's face and said in a deep voice. "Qin embroidery is bold, dare to ask the county lord, why do you want to help Qin embroidery?"
This girl is really smart, if she had such a mind at the age of seventeen or eighteen, how could she not be able to read people clearly and fall to such a point now?
This thought only passed through Yun Zhen's heart, and she sighed slightly.
Those words used to deceive others naturally won't work here in Zhao Qinxiu, Yun Zhen's eyes flickered, and her voice was tense. "Sister Wang's death is very strange, she treated me very well when she was young, and I naturally want to avenge her."
Under Zhao Qinxiu's gaze, Yun Zhen snorted before she spoke. "Zuo Xiang is highly respected and admired, Sister Wang has let Zuo Xiang teach me for a while, although the time is not long, but as the saying goes, one day is a teacher and a father for life, this time Zhao Mansion was persecuted by traitors, Zhao Lao is in trouble, how can I stand idly by?"
Seeing that she was so moved, Zhao Qinxiu's expression on her face did not change, Yun Zhen sighed in her heart that this girl was not very old, her mind was transparent, and she didn't bother to say anything more, so she raised her eyebrows and said. "What's more, Miss Zhao should be concerned, she should do so, and the Zhao Mansion can be harmful."
Zhao Qinxiu was slightly stunned, and the expression on his face changed slightly before he spoke. "Not bad."
Regardless of whether what Yun Zhen said is true or false, the current situation of the Zhao Mansion can only be fought for a game. She is not stubborn, only people are alive, and if the case is overturned, it will not work for a year, it will take ten years, and there will always be a day when Zhaoxue will be overturned, but if a person dies, it will be overturned in the future, leaving a good name for the ages, what is the use?
Thinking about this section, Zhao Qinxiu spoke. "What's the county lord's idea?"
Dealing with smart people saves you a lot of trouble.
"It's not a good way, Miss Zhao is afraid that she still needs to suffer a little."
Before Zhao Qinxiu could react, Yun Zhen spoke again. "Then ask Miss Zhao to 'throw herself into the net'."
Zhao Qinxiu looked at Yun Zhen in a daze. "What the county lord said is to let Qin Xiu throw himself into the net?"
"Exactly."
Zhao Qinxiu carefully distinguished Yun Zhen's expression left and right, and felt that she didn't look like a joke this time, so she raised her eyebrows slightly, wondering how much Yun Zhen's words could be heard.
Zhao Qinxiu pondered for a moment and said suddenly. "What the county lord wants to use is the method of combining the inside and the outside?"
Yun Zhen nodded, glanced at Zhao Qinxiu, sighed and explained. "Zhao Lao suffered from being beaten in prison, and he had no choice but to pretend to be crazy and stupid, and he couldn't move when he was watched closely by those people, if he hadn't been forced to be helpless, I wouldn't have made this decision."
Although this method is a strategy, there is still some chance in the end. It's just that Miss Zhao has to suffer a little for this method. ”
Yun Zhen's words were tactful, but Zhao Qinxiu understood very well that the real situation was a little more painful than Yun Zhen's description.
But what choice does she have now?
"In such a situation, as long as there is a little hope, how can Qin Xiu give up easily?" Zhao Qinxiu raised her lips and smiled bitterly. "What is the best strategy, as long as it works, but if the Jedi survives, it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, so what's the matter?"
Seeing Zhao Qinxiu doing this, Yun Zhen's original worries all faded, and her eyes overflowed with admiration. "Miss Zhao thinks clearly."
This time, Yun Zhen came to see the name of Old Lady Xu, and she couldn't stay in Xu Mansion for a long time, so she just communicated with Zhao Qinxiu concisely, but fortunately, Zhao Qinxiu is indeed a smart girl, one point is clear, and in some places Yun Zhen only needs to mention a few words.
"Qin Xiu thanked the county lord for hundreds of people in the Zhao family." After finalizing everything, Zhao Qinxiu pursed her lips, got up from the bed and wanted to salute Yun Zhen.
Yun Zhen stepped forward and hugged her, and when Zhao Qinxiu was stunned, a shallow sigh overflowed on her lips. "Although there is a way to rescue Zhao Lao and the others in this way, but in the end, the premise is that you still have to look at Miss."
"After we really rescue Zhao Lao and the others, it's not too late for Miss to salute."
Zhao Qinxiu didn't twist it, nodded and said. "Then it will bother the county lord."
Yun Zhen nodded slightly, and when she stood at the door, she hesitated, turned her body slightly, and looked at Zhao Qinxiu. "Miss Zhao is afraid that she will have to endure some hardships."
Zhao Qinxiu bent the corners of her lips, and her stunning face became more and more delicate under the candlelight. "Qin Xiu understands."
"It's just that the county lord can tell Qin Xiu what kind of thing he came for to help the Zhao Mansion so hard?"
Don't say that Zhao Qinxiu doesn't believe it, that is, if Yun Zhen turns around with Zhao Qinxiu at this moment, I am afraid that she will not be gullible. She pondered carefully for a moment before speaking. "I'm not a saint, so naturally it's not like I have nothing to ask for, but it's not too late to wait until I rescue Zhao Lao."
Zhao Qinxiu hesitated for a moment, and suddenly opened her mouth to stop Yun Zhen. "County Lord."
Yun Zhen paused slightly, but did not turn around.
Zhao Qinxiu wanted to ask for it, but it was not her response, she pulled out a cloth bag from her neck while walking, took out a key inside, and handed it to Yun Zhen. "The Zhao Mansion inherits the friendship of the county lord, and there is nothing to repay, I just hope that this thing can help the county lord."
Yun Zhen looked down at the small copper-yellow key, but didn't reach for it.
"Before it was done, you left it to me?"
Zhao Qinxiu was slightly stunned, "Although Qinxiu doesn't know what this thing is, my father once said that this thing is just a thing for others." ”
"Qin Xiu pondered carefully for a moment, it should be the bane."
"Since my father is willing to fall to this point, he is not willing to hand over this object in exchange for hundreds of lives up and down the house, which is naturally extremely valuable."
Zhao Qinxiu slowly sighed. "The Zhao Mansion has declined, if this thing is put on me again, I am afraid that it will not be safe, so it will be handed over to the county lord."
Yun Zhen waited for a while, but she didn't hear Zhao Qinxiu's words, she slowly turned around and glanced at Zhao Qinxiu with a smile.
Seeing Zhao Qinxiu's calm appearance, the corners of Yun Zhen's lips hooked, and she reached out to take the key. "Since Miss Zhao trusts her, then Yun Zhen won't shirk it, so she accepts it."
It seems that Hua Yunzhen never opened her mouth to ask where the keyhole of this key Qi Pei is, and Zhao Qinxiu prepared a stillborn speech, she opened her mouth, and was hesitating whether there was something wrong with doing this.
Yun Zhen had already pushed open the door and walked out. "You don't have to send it."
It was only when she came out of the cubicle that Yun Zhen could only hear the low sound of conversation coming from behind the heavy veil.
"You're not too young anymore, you can't stay any longer, don't you want to be the last one?" Old lady Xu didn't know when she had already gotten off the ground, wearing a robe and standing on the side of the bed with a cane, looking at the man opposite with hatred.
"No matter if you are old, your father will hand you over to you, and then you will be equal to half of your father! You are now returning to Beijing from the border, just in time for your aunt to find you a daughter from a good family. ”
Yun Zhen heard the dissatisfaction in the words of the old lady Xu, and secretly sighed that the old lady was not a master who could stand loneliness and obediently pretend to be sick.
Through the thick curtain, Yun Zhen could only vaguely see half of the man's outline, and wondered if it would be disrespectful if he went out like this.
The man who was listening helplessly to Old Lady Xu's teachings had already turned around, looked in the direction of Yun Zhen vigilantly, and shouted. "Who!"
Old lady Xu was startled, followed the man's gaze, raised her eyebrows, and stroked her beard. "It should be..."
When the man made a voice, Yun Zhen had already identified the man's identity, and seeing that Old Lady Xu was about to sell herself at this moment, she hurriedly jumped out from behind the curtain and deliberately lowered her voice a little. "I've seen King Zhennan."
Old lady Xu's words were interrupted by Yun Zhen, and when he was surprised, he saw Yun Zhen give himself a look, and his heart immediately understood, he looked Yun Zhen up and down, and turned around and looked at Sikong Ao who was standing on the side quite meaningfully.
The dark robe on Sikong Ao's body was outlined in layers of gold thread, and the cuffs and neckline were embroidered with shallow patterns, he frowned, and when he saw Yun Zhen's appearance, he was slightly surprised, thought for a moment, and then reacted, and asked suspiciously.
"Shizi?"
"The son of the world.... Why here? Although this was said to Yun Zhen, it was Old Lady Xu who asked Sikong Ao.
"This." Old lady Xu glanced at Yun Zhen in embarrassment, and saw that Yun Zhen kept giving herself a look, and her heart was clear, knowing that Yun Zhen was unwilling to reveal her identity, so she deliberately lowered her voice.
Old lady Xu's eyes rolled, and she opened her eyes with a little weakness. "You must know very well where this disease comes from."
"The Qinghuang County Lord is neither big nor small, and he doesn't respect the old bones, and he is sick in bed. Why can't the prince come to comfort the old man on behalf of his sister? ”
Speaking of this, Old Lady Xu raised her eyebrows. "Okay, when will it be your kid's turn to restrain the old decay?"
Listening to Old Lady Xu's vague words, and even wanting to reveal the matter, Sikong Ao did not delve into it, and a trace of helplessness appeared in his eyes.
"Boss, you know that this king doesn't mean that."
Unexpectedly, this sentence was like stepping on Mrs. Xu's tail, and Mrs. Xu was dissatisfied. "Okay, you're out of the picture, and you're the king when you open your mouth and close your mouth?"
"You heartless brat!"
Unexpectedly, the older the teacher is, the more he is like a child, and he is a little helpless. "The boss knows that Sikong doesn't mean that."
"So what do you mean by that?"
How could Yun Zhen not understand that Old Lady Xu was deliberately attracting Sikong Ao's attention now, her heart warmed, how could she live up to Old Lady Xu, and bowed down.
"There are still affairs in the house to be dealt with by this prince, so I won't stay here longer, and I hope that the old lady Xu is healthy."
Old lady Xu didn't seem to want to see her, but just waved his hand. "The old man is not feeling well, so he will not send it."
After that, he continued to stare at Sikong arrogantly. "You're not too young this year, but do you have a girl in the picture? Let your aunt go and read it for you. ”
"The prince stays, the county lord she." The Lord of Qinghuang hadn't been in contact with him for a few days, and he didn't know what he was doing these days.
Although he told himself countless times, Yun Zhen is like Hua Sang again, and Hua Sang is always different.
Every late at night, he would involuntarily think of Yun Zhen's face that was very similar to Hua Sang.
No matter how he hypnotizes himself, he still can't deceive his heart.
"The son of the world stays! Yun Zhen, she's lately..."
Sikong Ao watched Yun Zhen turn around, and was about to follow, but he didn't expect that Old Lady Xu directly stopped him and forced him back with all the words he hadn't asked.
"Boss."
Old Lady Xu suddenly fell silent, and her cloudy eyes were nailed to Sikong Ao's body.
"You want to ask the county lord of Qinghuang?"
Not wanting to be seen through by Old Lady Xu, Sikong Ao was slightly stunned, and unconsciously took a step back, but in this moment of hesitation, Yun Zhen's figure had disappeared at the door.
Sikong Ao glanced at the direction of Yun Zhen's departure, and vaguely, it seemed that something had slipped away at his fingertips.
Just before he could think about it for a moment, he heard Old Lady Xu hit the ground heavily with his crutches, forcibly pulling his attention back.
"Can't you forget her?"
Sikong Ao subconsciously retorted. "Boss, I don't know what you're talking about."
Old Lady Xu watched him grow up, and when he heard Sikong Ao open his mouth to call out Yun Zhen's name, he had already thought of Yun Zhen's face that was somewhat similar to Hua Sang, how could he not react?
Mrs. Xu regrets it now, but she turned a blind eye in those years, thinking that her childhood sweetheart had no guesses, and the fat water would not flow into the fields of outsiders in the future, so she didn't expect a Li Jingrui to appear out of thin air.
All this is fate, Sikong Ao and Huasang have no fate, who can blame it?
He should have woken up this nerd a long time ago, long pain is better than short pain, why let him wait for so many years.
Old lady Xu hated iron and raised the cane in his hand. "That's what you're doing! Princess Huasang, she is dead, how long will you live in her shadow? ”
"Don't you understand?"
Sikong Ao came back to his senses, looked down at the old lady Xu, who was hunched over his waist and half a head shorter than himself, with a blank look in his eyes. "What are you talking about, sir?"
Old lady Xu trembled his hands, and after all, he still couldn't bear to be under the gaze of Sikong Ao's eyes, as if he was a child, and knocked him down hard and beat him loudly.
He gritted his teeth. "You still don't understand?"
"Huasang is an assertive!"
"If she had half of her love for you back then, how could she let you go to the border? If it weren't for the sake of breaking your mind, how could you marry an unknown outsider? ”
Sikong Ao took a step back, the blood on his face faded, and the blankness in his eyes turned into a wry smile.
There are some things that he could not be clear?
He's just unwilling, decades of childhood sweethearts have no guesses, and in the end it's not as good as an outsider for just two years.
If Hua Sang hadn't married Li Jingrui at the beginning, how could he have gotten to be like this?
It's all just cause and effect.
"At the beginning, I regret not at the beginning." Sikong Ao muttered.
He is not the hesitant young man he was now, he doesn't have to choose between power and Huasang, and Qinghuang is not Huasang.
If he wanted it, he would hold it tightly in his hand.
Thinking about this section, Sikong Ao actually slowly hooked a smile, and immediately dispelled the hesitation in these days, and he looked down at Old Lady Xu.
"That's exactly what the old man said."
