Chapter 167: The Trap
The maid looked at Tang Jie's back blankly, she didn't expect that after Luthor broke through the trap in front of him, this man still jumped in, just for a woman.
She trembled, and a strange sound rolled in her throat, as if she was laughing and crying.
"Why, you can't do this for me? Why, this woman who made you go to the soup and sacrifice your life to die is not me?" the maid's eyes were stunned with tears, and she tore off her veil, revealing a beautiful and seductive face, which was none other than Lydia.
Before she and Prince Kirk could frame Tang Jie's premeditated plan, Prince Fernandez preemptively sabotaged their plan, but what Prince Fernandez didn't expect was that he curry favor with Tang Jie like this, but still did not get Tang Jie's allegiance.
Annoyed, Fernández contacted Lydia again and devised a trap this time.
And for Lydia, it doesn't matter who she works with, what matters is whether she can take revenge on this man who doesn't take her seriously in the slightest.
However, when Lydia saw Tang Jie again and walked side by side with him, she was conquered by Tang Jie's calmness and humor, and her strong desire for revenge was seriously shaken by Tang Jie's strong personal charm, and she once wanted to try to win back this man's heart again.
However, the sky is unpredictable.
No one expected that Prince Luthor, who had always kept a low profile in the palace, would discover their trap and choose to wait for them on this road.
Then, Lydia's heart shattered like a piece of glass falling from the sky.
Why are you willing to die for her, but you won't look at me more?
Why? Why!
Am I really far worse than her?
Lydia shouted at Tang Jie's back, "Tang Jie, I hate you! I hate you!!"
Her poignant voice echoed through the long hallway, like the curse of a venomous ghost.
After this voice reached Tang Jie's ears, his body only shook slightly, and a girl's resentful face flashed in his mind, it was a face he had seen in Kunisque Harbor.
Ah, it turned out to be her......
Tang Jie's heart was stunned, but soon he didn't stop at his feet, and continued to walk to the door of the room where Princess Angel lived, he put his hands on the doorknob, took a deep breath, and then slowly pushed the door open.
......
Almost at the same time, in the distant Sisis, the Green Forest Bar was secretly undergoing a seismic change.
"Are you sure you're leaving, dear Mary?" Charna looked at Mary in front of her intently, her expression full of sighs and reluctance.
Maria was wearing a tight-fitting beige midi dress, sexy as a fallen goblin, her eyes rolled on Charna's face, and she smiled and said, "Of course, if I don't leave, how can you have a good day?"
Since Maria was severely punished by Margaret for covering up the news for Tang Jie, her prestige among the petrels, in the world of espionage of the Kelsman family, has plummeted, and under the deliberate arrangement of the countess, this once glorious and glamorous petrel gradually faded out of this spy world, and her dominance and management of the Green Forest Bar gradually passed over to Sharna.
What Maria just said was indeed true, if she didn't go, if she didn't suffer those punishments, no one in this place, even in the petrel world of the Kelsman family, could match her in terms of power and prestige.
In particular, her once sentence "Men conquer the world, women conquer men", spread to every corner of the world, and have been cited by countless people as a wise saying, and the name Maria has also moved the world.
But that's in the past.
Now Maria, like a phoenix falling from a branch, is no longer the famous courtesan of Sisis, no longer the underground ruler of the Green Forest Bar, and no longer a woman warmly welcomed by the major aristocratic forces.
In the Pound Continent, people who offend the Kelsman family, or who are abandoned by the Kelsman family, there will definitely be no other family forces to contain them openly.
The change from Maria's power to Charna meant that the Kelsman family had undergone a major power change in the intelligence network on the southwest coast of the empire, and from then on, Maria, a wise and shrewd woman, no longer controlled this vast underground intelligence network, and was replaced by another high-ranking petrel, Charna.
When Charna heard Maria's words, she smiled bitterly and said, "Don't be kidding, Maria, you know, I don't have a talent like you, let alone a mind like you, I can't do this position!
Mary laughed: "Ah, you want me to give you free coolies! For the sake of the god Raphael, you have a very clever little abacus!"
Charna glared at her with a feigned rage: "The gods are above, and they will bear witness to my sincerity!Dear Mary, put away your cynical face!
Maria smiled slightly, and she said, "No, Charna, do you know why the Countess would let you sit in this position? No, what happened before made our Countess realize a problem: in this position, she doesn't need someone who is too smart, she needs someone who is absolutely loyal and absolutely obedient to her!"
"Dear Charna, it is true that you are not the best in ability and not the best in mind, but you are peaceful and self-controlled, and you will never do the things that I have done. My soul is too wild, my heart is too longing for the outside world, and if I stay, our countess will be angry with you for my affairs, so I can't stay and help you. Maria said.
Sharna was silent for a while, then sighed softly: "So, where can you go? Although this world is big, where is the place where you can live?"
Sharna still has a word left unspoken: Where is the place where a woman like you is safe?
Maria is so beautiful, so sexy, but she is so intelligent, wise, shrewd and capable, such a woman will attract the attention of men wherever she goes, and she is destined to live a peaceful life wherever she goes.
Maria understood this, of course, and a faint hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, but she was soon interrupted by a knock on the door.
Charna walked out of the room, and after a while she came in with a plate of wine bottles, which Maria knew was another word for Sises.
Although the Countess is no longer here, and Charna no longer has to send the news to the Countess as soon as possible, Sisis is the most important port in the south of the Pound Continent, and many important news will still be transmitted here in the form of secret documents, so that the petrels here can learn more about the outside world and grasp the dynamics of the situation in time.
"Alright, you have something to do again, so I won't bother you!" said Maria, smiling slightly, as she walked towards the door.
"Wait!" Sharna pulled out the note from the cork, and after only a slight glance, she called out to Maria, who handed her the note, "I think this thing will be of interest to you." ”
Maria glanced at Charna, she was not pretentious, and took it to see that although the content of this note was written in secret language, because of its shortness, Maria was too familiar with the compilation of secret words, so she understood the meaning at a glance.
There was only one sentence written on this note: The pirate Tang Jie escorted Princess Angel into the imperial capital!
This sentence was like thunder, and immediately shocked Maria, and she shouted in a lost voice: "This fool, will you go to the imperial capital to die?"
Charna knew that Maria's ability to analyze intelligence was far superior to her, and she asked, "Why do you say that? Isn't it a strange thing that this king of the Sea of Nylsia is now escorting Princess Angel into the imperial capital?"
Maria smiled bitterly and shook her head: "You only see the value and significance of the forces behind him, but you don't understand what kind of character and essence this man is!"
She turned her head, looked at Charna, and said, "Have you ever seen a lion king who lies at the feet of a man like a pug and flatters and laughs? This man has a strong and unruly personality, and if Prince Kirk or Prince Fernandez wants to win him over, he will definitely be rejected! Therefore, in the end, a situation will definitely be formed in which these two princes will besiege and kill him at the same time! When he goes to the imperial capital, he is simply a sheep in the mouth of a tiger and sends himself to death!"
Xia Erna was stunned: "If you say that, it's very possible!"
Maria put down the note, her eyes unconsciously turned to the imperial capital, and she let out a long sigh: "For the sake of a princess, he sent himself to death, he is really a love saint!"
She sighed and then said to herself, "But I think I know where I'm going......
Although Charna's ability is not as good as Maria's, she is also an extremely intelligent woman, and when she heard Maria say this, she immediately said in surprise: "You want to go to the imperial capital?"
Maria nodded, "Yes......"
Xia Erna smiled bitterly: "Even if you can reach the imperial capital as quickly as possible, it will be a few days later, at that time, the princess Angel has been married, the imperial abdication ceremony has been completed, everything has been settled, you are too late to go, maybe he has already ...... it"
Xia Erna didn't finish the second half of the sentence, but Maria knew it very well in her heart, she smiled slightly and shook her head: "No, he won't die so easily, I feel this way! Although this man is in the danger of nine deaths, but do you think about which time he is not like this? But which time did he not survive in the near future? Moreover, I have a feeling that the imperial capital is about to undergo drastic changes, and this wedding ceremony will not be so peaceful and simple!"
As she spoke, a smile appeared on Maria's face, flamboyant and confident: "How can I not go to see such a big scene?"
Charna looked at Maria blankly, and sighed secretly in her heart: At present, the situation of the two kings of the imperial capital competing for hegemony is in the eyes of others, lest they will not be able to dodge, for fear that the fire at the city gate will affect the fish in the pond!
Her soul was too wild, as she said!
"I guess you should be more than just going to see the fun, right?" Charna looked at Maria and sighed, "You want to go to that man?"
Maria listened to Charna's words, the originally warm and excited smile gradually precipitated, her flying, her expression gradually turned into a faint sigh, her gaze fell in the direction of the imperial capital Garcia, and did not move for a long time.
......
Just when Maria decided to go to the imperial capital, in the Clark Tower in the distant imperial capital, Princess Angel was sitting alone on the edge of her bed, staring blankly at the bright moon outside the window, and the shadows became three people.
In four days, she was going to marry the middle-aged man with an ugly face.
In all fairness, although Prince Kirk has an ugly face, he has an extraordinary bearing, excellent cultivation and knowledge, and is a qualified husband, if he hadn't met Tang Jie, maybe he would have slowly accepted this man.
However, now everything has changed.
The black-haired man was like a lightning bolt that came out of nowhere, taking away her heart and her soul, making her look gloomy and resentful in the backyard of this deep palace every day.
Where is he now? What is he doing? Will he think of me?
Angel sighed softly, and as she sighed, the door creaked open.
Angel thought it was her maid, and said casually, "Miller, I said, don't enter my room without knocking!"
After she finished speaking, she didn't hear anyone respond, Angel turned her head angrily, and was about to have a seizure, when suddenly she saw a familiar figure standing in front of her.
It was a tall and burly man, with night-like hair, and in the faint moonlight, his black eyes were as bright and charming as deep gems.
Angel's face, figure, and temperament were all familiar to Angel, and she was in a trance for a moment: Am I dreaming? Why is he here?
Tang Jie looked at Angel's beautiful face in a daze, he smiled slightly, and said, "I'm sorry, I should knock on the door next time I come in!"
This voice was like an invisible hand, plucking Angel's heartstrings, and she suddenly realized that she was not dreaming, and when she missed him the most, this man was really standing in front of her!
A look of ecstasy subconsciously appeared on Angel's face, no matter how deep her city was as deep as the sea, she couldn't hide the most passionate impulse in her heart!
She stood up suddenly, and took a step forward, as if she was about to throw herself into Tang Jie's arms.
But this ecstasy lasted only for a moment, and as soon as Angel's body moved, she immediately realized an extremely terrible question: why was he here?
Angel reacted in an instant, the ecstasy on her face was instantly replaced by fear and horror, and she shouted loudly: "Why are you here!!?
However, it was too late, and as she remembered her words, a sound of neat steps and the clashing of armor rushed like a tidal wave.
Tang Jie saw Angel's expression and reaction at this time, he already knew the answer to the question hidden in his heart, he smiled slightly, and said: "If I am not mistaken, someone must want to take this opportunity to kill me and then bring you down, right?
Angel heard the approaching footsteps of death outside the corridor, her face turned pale with horror, and she hurriedly pulled Tang Jie's arm and said, "Hurry up, you go quickly!
Tang Jie didn't move at all, he seemed to have a good idea, he shook his head, and said: "It's late, you can't escape! Fernandez has carefully arranged such a game, how can we get out so easily? It's just that I'm surprised, how did he set up a game so quickly? The means are really amazing!"
Angel stomped his feet and said angrily: "When is this, are you still in the mood to say this? Why did you come here to die by yourself? Don't you know that you came here to be beheaded? Don't you know that if you come to see me at this time, I will also be implicated?"
Angel's voice was high-pitched and sharp, and she was so shocked by the sudden incident in front of her that she almost lost her mind.
Tang Jie looked at Angel, and he silently took out the silk blood book from his arms.
Angel took it and was shocked.
The handwriting on it was almost exactly the same as hers, and she instantly understood the reason why Tang Jie came here.
The previous anger and resentment suddenly disappeared, and Angel felt that one of her hearts had been crushed by this man.
Angel looked weird, as if she wanted to cry, and she was trying to endure it, she choked up and said: "You big idiot, you big fool the number one in the world, why would you believe such a thing, why would you send yourself to death for me?"
Tang Jie looked at Angel lovingly, and stroked her delicate and fair cheeks with his hand: "Because I don't want to know bad news about you, otherwise, my soul will not be at peace!"
Angel's eyes were stunned with tears, and she laughed miserably: "Now you know! You will die for violating the rules of the palace, and I will also be canceled for having a private meeting with a man, and what awaits me will be an endless cold palace life! Now you tell me, for the rest of my life facing the palace wall, how will I live without you?"
Tang Jie looked at Angel softly, he suddenly smiled, and said in a slightly sly tone: "But what if this man is here to assassinate you?"
"What?!" Angel was stunned.
As soon as Tang Jie's words fell, he lifted the robe of the Sect of Light that he was draped on, and the short knife on his waist was pulled out violently, and Sen Han's blade was placed on Angel's neck.
And at this time, a large number of heavily armed soldiers poured in from the door like a tidal wave!
=============================================================================================
Well, the following part of the word is not money.
Some friends said that I dragged out the plot and cheated the number of words and money.
Well, this volume has a large layout, not only the most essential volume of the book, but also the most important part of my architecture of this other world, so it is inevitable to use some pen and ink to explain these things.
Although the storyline is a little slow at this time, the big ** will come soon, and the plot is about to re-enter the fast lane.
In addition, in fact, I am only busy with other things such as decoration, and I never feel tired when it comes to codeword storytelling......
In addition, if you are a paid reader, then I will say sorry to you first, if you are not, then you can choose to pay to read first, so that you can criticize me and be more reasonable. :)
