Chapter 19: Bait (2)

He was dressed in civilian clothes and sat in a large hall, signing official documents and the like, while the guard was outside the courtyard, some distance away.

After the maid brought the supper in, Fang Ling secretly jumped down from the wall, walked into the hall slowly, and closed the door gently.

Zhou Yongcheng didn't raise his head, and asked, "Is there anything else, is there something wrong with Madame?"

Without hearing an echo, he looked up and suddenly saw a handsome and tall young man in the room, and the most eye-catching thing was the dragon and phoenix jade pendant he was holding in his hand.

Looking at the jade pendant, Zhou Yongcheng was slightly stunned, and immediately understood the identity of the person who came over, and respectfully bowed and said: "The subordinate Zhou Yongcheng pays a visit to the king of Shicheng." ”

Fang Ling looked at him lightly, this person spoke respectfully, with a humble look, as if he had made a big mistake, and even his body trembled.

However, if you only look at the appearance, it is very wrong, from their words and deeds, small to subtle analysis, that is their real inner character.

So, he just stood quietly and didn't say anything.

Seeing that Fang Ling didn't speak, Zhou Yongcheng immediately showed a sincere and frightened expression, and looked up cautiously: "The ministers really don't know that His Royal Highness and Niangniang have arrived in the city, His Royal Highness came to visit late at night, and the ministers are really panicking." ”

Fang Ling smiled slightly, and said word by word: "You should indeed be afraid, because at such a close distance, I only need one knife to kill General Zhou." ”

Zhou Yongcheng's face changed significantly, and he even subconsciously glanced at the protruding hilt on Fang Ling's back, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes: "Palace...... What does Your Highness mean by this, the ministers are loyal to the court!"

Fang Ling laughed, sat down on the chair and said, "Don't worry, Lord Zhou, I'm just joking, how can I do it to you if I am a loyal minister like Lord Zhou?"

Zhou Yongcheng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, squeezed out a smile and said: "Your Highness has won the award, and the ministers are just doing their duty." ”

Fang Ling smiled slightly, but his words suddenly changed: "But as far as I know, Lord Zhou's duty is probably not only to the imperial court, but also to the queen mother." Didn't Lord He come here a long time ago and tell you that as long as you take my life, you can get the happiness of the queen mother, and let you be added to the knighthood?"

Zhou Yongcheng's face changed again, from a businessman to a general, he has experienced a lot of ups and downs in the past 20 years, and he thinks that he has seen a lot of the world, even if he is in front of the princes, he can calm down.

But the king of Shicheng in front of him, although he is young, but since he came out, he has not played cards according to reason, and when he heard the previous sentence, he couldn't guess what the next sentence was going to say, and it was better to seem that he had mastered the details, and he was out of proportion all of a sudden.

Zhou Yongcheng hurriedly took a deep breath, finally calmed down, and said with an innocent face: "Your Highness, what are these words, how dare I, a little courtier, have ill intentions towards Your Highness?"

Fang Ling looked at him playfully and said, "Of course it's best if you can do this, but what does Lord He think?"
