Chapter 298: Temptation and Procrastination

Zhongli glanced at Zhao Yiyan, took a deep breath, and bit his lip,

"I'm Shen Ye's daughter, I'm sorry, I didn't tell you the truth from beginning to end."

Zhao Yiyan had long felt that Zhongli had something to hide from him, but he never asked, one out of trust in Zhongli, and the other out of caution about the relationship between them.

Sometimes, once some identities change, the relationship between two people will naturally change.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that Zhongli would give him such a big surprise.

He is Shen Ye's daughter, and Shen Ye is his mentor.

He has been looking for an opportunity to rehabilitate Shen Ye for so many years, but he didn't expect that his long-cherished wish for many years would be fulfilled by Zhongli like this.

It is simply impossible to say that I don't feel emotional, to say that I don't feel it at all.

He still remembers that when he heard about this, his heart suddenly swelled up, he guessed that it was one thing, and it was another thing if it really happened, and the joy in his heart could not be concealed at all.

"You, if your wish is granted, what do you want?"

The endless joy in my heart was followed by deep fear.

What's next for her? What if she doesn't have herself in her plans? Therefore, when Zhao Yiyan spoke, his voice tightened.

Zhongli frowned and shook his head gently.

"I don't have any plans yet, I'm just, forced to take this path out of desperation, I can't decide the way out for my younger brothers and sisters, but I can at least let them walk in the sun openly."

Zhao Yiyan nodded.

"If this thing ends well, can you, can you think about our business?"

After a long silence, he finally said what was in his heart, and looked at Zhongli fixedly, not moving at all.

Zhongli's face turned red suddenly, and she hurriedly raised her eyes, just in front of Zhao Yiyan's shining eyes, staring at her burningly, as if it could melt her.

"I ......"

However, Zhongli had just opened his mouth when he saw the closed door being pushed open from the outside, and a man in a navy blue robe came against the light.

The only person who can walk freely through the palace without reporting is probably Zhao Zijian!

The two people got up in silence and looked at the people, and the change of identity caused the atmosphere between the three people to change with it, and Zhao Zijian himself was no longer the one who was looking for allies and shelter everywhere, and the balance between them was also broken.

"Zhongli, I really didn't expect that your true identity turned out to be from General Shen's family. It's just that there is one thing that I can't figure out. ”

After a few people sat down, Zhao Zijian slowly spoke.

Zhongli knew what he was trying to say, and immediately nodded in understanding.

"You mean to say, those younger brothers and sisters below me, right? They are not the children of the Shen family, except for my eldest brother and my third brother, they are probably the children of General Shen's subordinates back then, and they were afraid that they would be involved, so they were taken away. ”

Zhao Zijian nodded, his eyes looked at Zhongli's face, he couldn't help but see how beautiful Zhongli was when he changed into women's clothes, he must be extremely beautiful.

Perhaps sensing his gaffe, Zhao Zijian coughed lightly, and then asked about his trip.

"Zhongli, I just got the news that the new emperor of Yuanwu is looking for a person named Zhong Er with great fanfare, and he doesn't even know if the other party is a man or a woman, do you think it's funny?"

Test!

Zhongli smiled and nodded, not seeing anything on his face.

"It's funny, but is the surname Zhong very popular now? Or is there a connection with anyone with the surname Zhong? ”

Refers to Sang scolding Huai.

Zhao Zijian couldn't help laughing, pointing at Zhongli and gritting his teeth helplessly.

"You, you, I'm just curious to ask, it's not your best person, if it's your person, it's difficult! I heard that the new Emperor Yuanwu has sent a messenger to the apocalypse! ”

What the?

Zhongli frowned, and secretly scolded Wan Qian in his heart for being confused!

At this time, if you don't consolidate power in Yuanwu, why do you come out? Don't you think it's messy enough? He wanted to get this matter done quickly, but if the Yuanwu envoy came, this matter would definitely be suppressed.

This...... Not what he intended!

Zhao Yiyan seemed to see Zhongli's displeasure, and looked at Zhao Zijian with a tight frown, and shook his head gently.

"Yuanwu has just withdrawn from the army, and it is a little inappropriate to come over now, right?"

He didn't think as much as Zhongli thought, and he really thought that Wan Qiming was sending someone over, not by himself.

It's just that Zhongli himself has a special sixth sense, and he thinks that the person who comes here this time must be Wan Qiming.

"Haha, who knows? If it's with the apocalypse this time, I can't say it. After all, this king really wants to thank that Zhong Er, who made wind and rain in Yuanwu, not only killed the old emperor and supported the newcomer to the throne, but also made the entire Yuanwu a miasma, and the people were bored and complained. ”

As he spoke, a pair of eyes looked at Zhongli with interest, as if he was sure that Zhongli was the same Zhongli.

Zhongli smiled faintly and didn't speak, didn't admit or deny it, but made Zhao Zijian have nothing to say.

After Zhao Zijian left, Zhongli said in a cold voice and spoke in a deep voice.

"No, you can't let him come over now."

Zhao Zijian finally sensed that something was wrong at this time, he looked at Zhongli with deep eyes, and tentatively spoke.

"He? Who is it? ”

"Wan Qianming! I left the Yuanwu Palace, and I kidnapped his aunt, and the mess I left behind, and now he may want to skin me, drink my blood, and chew me again. ”

Thinking of the things Zhongli did in Yuanwu, Zhao Yiyan himself fell silent.

He himself couldn't imagine what he would do if Zhongli was his enemy, probably, he would only lose the battle, right?

Who would have thought that it was just a money-making business, and it would trap the entire Yuanwu people?

Yuanwu drought, who doesn't know? Yuanwu is short of food, who doesn't know?

But on the contrary, Zhongli raised a large number of livestock in Yuanwu, and the chickens and ducks were fine, but what about the cattle and sheep? Chickens and ducks can be killed casually without feeling distressed, but those cattle and sheep, when there is no food, are the life and root of their people, and the foundation of their last way of survival.

Therefore, even if people don't eat, they have to serve their own lives and roots, just like chicken ribs, which are tasteless and a pity to discard.

The most deplorable thing is not the cattle and sheep, but the horses raised with those princes and ministers, can those horses be killed now? Obviously not, so much has been invested, wouldn't it be a waste to kill it now? So everyone tightened their belts and insisted on keeping them up.

However, now everyone has money and things, but there is no food, and their hungry eyes are shining, and even the officials have green eyes.

Before Zhao Yiyan left, he also issued an order to the border city, prohibiting the people of the border city from trading with Yuanwu, saying that it was a civil strife in Yuanwu, and everyone dared not obey for fear that the people would be endangered.

As a result, the entire Yuanwu unprecedentedly unanimously wanted the Apocalypse and Yuanwu to resume trade.

Originally, Wan Qiming didn't plan to go to the Apocalypse in person, but the news suddenly came from the Apocalypse, not to mention that Zhongli appeared, and even appeared as a family member of General Shen Ye Shen.

This is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for him, who has been immersed in the grief of Zhongli's possible death, and he doesn't say a word to pack up his things and go to Yuanwu in person.

Unexpectedly, halfway through the road, he had already received news that the border city had opened up trade between the two countries, but he was required to exchange horses for food, which was a matter of great importance, and he needed to sit down and stabilize the situation.

Because the people of Yuanwu were already crazy when they heard the word "grain", they didn't say a word or care about 3721, and drove the cattle and sheep that were not very fat in the family to the border city.

Wan Qiming originally thought that this was a good thing, but after hearing that this matter was done by the Zhong family, he immediately became vigilant and postponed the date until the apocalypse, leaving Zhongli plenty of time.

Apocalypse Capital.

Zhongli, who got the news, breathed a sigh of relief, and there was a little smile on his face.

"This time, Qi Guan did a good job, it was very timely, and it was perfect, if he could ensure that this time the matter was foolproof, it was not impossible to mention him again."

Zhongli had now left the palace and returned to the Zhong family, smiling and speaking.

At this time, everyone in the family changed into their original clothes, especially Zhong Liyu, who changed his men's clothes and used women's clothes for the first time, and was shouted by Xiao Ping'an for a long time that his father changed.

And the younger brothers and sisters who have been hidden by Wang Qinglin have also returned, and the children have been raised very well, and they have no intention of being unfamiliar when they see Zhongli.

And the younger siblings who were treated as Miss Zhong Family's sons and daughters before also stayed, and Zhongli gathered them all together today, according to his and Zhong Liyu's intentions.

Since they are members of the Zhong family, they are qualified to know the affairs of the Zhong family and their true identities.

"You've probably heard about us, haven't you? I know this may be a bit difficult for you to accept. But it's true, Zhong Li and I and Zhong Li Yue are children of the Shen family, but you are not. ”

Zhong Liyu was the first to speak, and this was for the three younger siblings below.

The three of them glanced at each other and nodded cautiously, but no one spoke.

Zhongli smiled.

"For so many years, I have been looking for your true identity, if my news is correct, you should be the children of General Shen Ye's subordinates, and you were taken away later, probably because I was worried that you would be affected. I found out that some of you have a mother who is still alive and has remarried someone else......"

Before Zhong Li could speak, Zhong Lijue, who was also the former Zhong Xiaodi, moved lightly, and took a step forward to salute Zhong Li and Zhong Liyu.

"Eldest sister, second sister, we have discussed this matter before. Since we were raised by the Zhong family, we are the Zhong family. Even if a few brothers and sisters go back to the Shen family, the Zhong family still needs people. ”
