The sky was getting darker, and the room with closed doors and windows became darker and darker, and suddenly two faint lights seemed to flash in the darkness, and they were fleeting. "Shh Shanrou exhaled slowly, and then slowly got off the low couch.

"Squeak!" The door of the house opened, and the only light of day entered the room through the door, and on top of the low couch, there was a yellow paper bag that had been opened.

"Master Wang's medicinal fruit is miraculous, not an ordinary medicine, with my healing method, in just one day, the injury on my body has stabilized even if it is not pressed, and now as long as I don't do strenuous exercise, I can move freely."

"If it's in the past, just rely on yourself, I'm afraid it will take three or five days to recuperate."

"Sir, you get up." Seeing the door open, a heroic warrior came out of the door, and the maid who was in charge of sprinkling and cleaning came over in surprise, and a pair of eyes peeked at Shanrou from time to time.

"Well, get up, hey, there seems to be joy outside, is there any great joy in this house today?" Shanrou's ears are so keen, at this time there is a commotion in the house, and the sound of silk and bamboo is in the room, and it does not come out far, but it still listens to her.

"Yes, how does the gentleman know about the way? Today, our master was appointed by the king as the chief priest, so today the whole house will celebrate tonight, and Xiaocao can also eat meat today. ”

The little maid asked in surprise, and said that she could eat meat, and her face was full of happiness.

"Taishi, Grand Priest!"

Shanrou took a deep breath, her face trembled slightly, she knew that this generous man was a favored minister of King Zhao, and now the number one celebrity in Handan, he should never stay in a Taishi position, but in one step, he went from a small doctor to the position of Liuqing, this kind of speed is really too fast.

"Even if it's the old thief of Tiandan in the past, it's just that, this princess. It's really the same big guy. That being the case, then you are more sure, Tiandan old thief, you are going to die this time. ”

"Xiaocao, where did this bamboo sound come from, and now that the banquet has not yet started, where should I practice in the quiet room? After sitting for a day, I was bored and panicked, and I went out to breathe, you took me to see it. ”

The little maid nodded vigorously: "Sir, it's not far from us, I'll take you there." ”

The place where the guest and the guest live does not belong to the inner courtyard. Instead, the rooms leaning against the courtyard walls on the left and right sides of the mansion are usually occupied by a few people, and further up, the more mixed doormen are a single person in a single room, and the most high-class doormen are already a small courtyard that is not big alone, and the servants and maids in the courtyard are also rationed.

At this time, the place where Wang Li placed Shanrou to recuperate was to enter the small courtyard where the first-class guests lived, and come out of the small courtyard. You can see the square in the front yard. At this time, when the king left the palace, it was full of joy.

Shanrou walked out of the courtyard. Under the guidance of Xiaocao, he walked to a larger courtyard near the inner courtyard, and the sound of silk and bamboo came from that courtyard.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, Shanrou's eyes were stunned.

I saw that in the courtyard at this time, a group of musicians were sitting on the side of the drumming and playing the piano, in addition to them, there was also a group of girls with extremely bright looks dressed as dancing girls, but at this time they were not dancing, but watching people dance.

"Toh?" After a brief glance, she cried out.

In the study, on the bronze lampstand, a main trunk is divided into five branches, forming a unique shape, at this time, the lotus flowers blooming at the top of the branches are each lit with a candle flame, the brightness of the candle flame is limited, but the five candles are burning at the same time, and a corner of the room is illuminated.

"Your injuries are good, such a serious injury, you can move freely now, have I used my medicine? So it seems that you have chosen to agree to cooperate? ”

Wang Li sat on a comfortable soft stool, and directly across from him sat a young warrior, the same assassin he had rescued the previous night.

A question, but there was no reply, Wang Li looked up at him, and saw Shanrou on the other side looking at him with a strange look, staring at his eyes without blinking.

After a while, Shanrou came to her senses: "It's okay to cooperate, but there is one thing that requires Lord Si Li to promise me, as long as Master Si Li agrees, the harvest of your cooperation with me will definitely exceed your imagination." ”

More than you think? Wang Li's eyes froze: "Tian Dan? ”

"How do you know the way?" In an instant, the air in the entire room seemed to be cold, and Shanrou's strange gaze just now turned into surprise for a moment, and then she was stunned, and it took a while to come back to her senses, but the look in her eyes couldn't help but change.

After a moment, she laughed, "It's really the most terrifying thing in the world to be an enemy of Lord Sili. ”

"Where is he now?"

"I don't know, I didn't succeed in assassinating him yesterday, I'm afraid he moved to a safe place at that time, more than ten years ago, he also served as Zhao Xiang, this huge Handan City, he has a place to hide, who knows where he is?"

"It's always in Handan City, and besides, if Mr. Zhao can find him once, he will definitely be able to find him a second time, right?" Wang Weizhi knew that in the original book, this Shanrou had chased Tian Dan and assassinated him several times before he met Xiang Shaolong, but he failed and almost died.

And Tian Dan has always been secretive, and since Shanrou can assassinate him repeatedly, there must be her methods to catch up.

"Si Li, give me some time, as long as there is news of him, Zhao Shan will definitely inform Si Li, but Si Li will not ask me about the appearance of Tian Dan Country, why is it not in Qi Country at this time, but in Handan?"

"No, I just need to know that he is in Handan, if he comes up on the surface, as my former Zhao Xiangguo, my Zhao Kingdom will definitely welcome him, but if he acts like this, killing him will be in vain."

"Well, what did you need me to promise you? Mr. Zhao, please say bluntly, if you can bury Tiandan in Handan, it will cost some money, even if it is larger, it is worth it. ”

"No need, that's how it is, after a few days, when my injuries are better, I'll go to him, and Lord Si Li just waits for my news."

After Shanrou finished speaking, she stood up: "Master Si Li, take your leave." ”

"No more?" Wang Li repeated, what did I ask me to promise? But Tian Dan really arrived in Handan?

Then today Pang Xiang said that the countries mediated the Zhaoyan War, and the person from the Qi State will definitely be Tiandan, and who will come from Linzi of the Qi State to Handan in the coming day? Who is the real body? Who is the stand-in?

In the original book, Tian Dan was extremely afraid of assassination, so his whereabouts were extremely secretive, and there was a stand-in exactly like him, Xiang Shaolong once thought that Shanrou had failed to assassinate Tian Dan and died in his hands, and chased him thousands of miles from Qin State, but only killed a stand-in.

Wang Li smiled, regardless of the real body stand-in, kill it.

Thinking like this, Wang Li suddenly realized a problem.

"When will I be able to plot to kill a stranger I never knew without hesitation for a purpose?"

A breeze blew, the candles flickered, and the room was dark, reflecting the face of the king.

"I'm not the same person I used to be." After a while, Wang Li muttered, with only a hint of sigh between his words, and then got up from his seat, extinguished the candles one by one, and plunged the room into darkness.

The official of the Taishi was crowned with a ceremony, and on this day, the banquet of the Sili Mansion was celebrated, and the whole mansion was festive, and the sound of joy was until late at night. (To be continued.) )
