In the afternoon, when it was getting dark, Zhu Hua heard that Zhu Jiu had been assassinated on the way back to the barracks, and he was extremely worried, so he hurried to the barracks to see her.

As a result, after inquiring, I heard that Zhu Jiu was actually making chestnut cakes in the kitchen, and I suddenly felt a novelty, and couldn't help but say, "Xiao Jiu, you are so decent, how did you start chestnut cakes?"

At the end, he couldn't help but say more: "In the General's Mansion in the past, because Xuanyuan Che was allergic to chestnuts, you never let the kitchen do this."

Even with her, I didn't touch the chestnut cake later.

I was afraid that the smell of chestnuts would make Zhu Jiu uncomfortable.

These words instantly evoked Zhu Jiu's memories, but it was only for a short moment, and she was left behind, and while turning her head to reveal her face covered with flour, she said seriously: "No way, the life-saving benefactor wants to eat chestnut cake, so I have to do it."

"Hmm...... Okay, do you want me to help you?"

Knowing that Zhu Jiu was a person who didn't like to owe favors, Zhu Hua didn't persuade her, but rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward to help her.

But Zhu Jiu refused: "Brother, don't help, this is what I promised Mr. Jiang, since I promised to make chestnut cakes for him, I can't fake my hands to others."

Zhu Hua couldn't understand why she was so serious in this matter, she just thought that Jiang Cheng blocked a knife for her, and felt guilty in her heart.

So he stepped aside and asked about the Assassins.

Speaking of the assassin and the just right timing of Prime Minister Leng Cheng's appearance, Zhu Jiu's eyes narrowed slightly, and all kinds of doubts flashed in his mind, and then said to Zhu Hua: "Brother Lao quietly went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to secretly investigate the origin of those dead soldiers, these dead soldiers clearly used the path of Yan Guo's martial arts, but they wore Gao Xinguo's tokens, which is really suspicious."

"I'm just afraid that Leng Xiang is afraid that the situation in this world is not chaotic enough, so I want Gao Xinguo to also get involved."

Hearing this, Zhu Hua's eyes sank a little, and he clasped his hands around his chest: "If this is the case, I am afraid that the situation will be really difficult to control at that time, once the world is in chaos, how can it be calmed down in forty or fifty years?"

But there are people who make the fortune of this troubled world.

Cold phase is one of those people.

It's just that......

After Zhu Jiu said this, he couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Zhu Jiu, with a bit of inquiry in his eyes: "Xiao Jiu, when did you care so much about the affairs of Gao Xinguo? Could it be that it really has something to do with your background?"

It was his unintentional statement, but with a bang, Zhu Jiu was so excited that he shuddered, and the chestnuts in his hand instantly fell on the board, and he rolled to the ground with a thunderbolt.

Seeing her like this, Zhu Hua thought that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly asked for mercy: "Xiao Jiu, don't be angry, I just said it casually, I don't mean anything else, really!" I'm going to investigate the origin of those dead men!"

He hurriedly wanted to leave, but was pulled by Zhu Jiuyi, pursed his lips with difficulty, shook his head, and said, "It's okay, it's just that my brother's words reminded me, I'm afraid that it's no secret that I came back from Gaoxin Kingdom."

"The bottom of the cold phase is to use this thing to trap me in injustice."

The two houses in the DPRK and China are now dominant, namely the Leng family headed by Leng Xiang, and the Zhu family headed by Zhu Jiu.

Zhu Jiu was originally a person who should not have survived, but he appeared out of thin air, and saved Yan Guo's life when Yan Guo was in trouble, taking away the limelight and reputation of the Leng family.

This reputation is something that the family values very much, and the competition for fame and fortune is not for fame and fortune?

With such a strong opponent as Zhu Jiu, how could Leng Xiang really let her stay in the court safe and sound?

What's more, in order to save Leng Qingxiu, Leng Xiang sent so many military funds to the Zhu family before, and let a lot of power out, so it's no wonder that Leng Xiang can swallow this breath.

Zhu Hua is also transparent, and he doesn't need Zhu Jiu to say too much, he immediately understands, and his face is immediately full of anger: "This cold appearance is too presumptuous! If it weren't for you, Yan Guo would have died a long time ago, so how could he be in a cold position? This old puppet doesn't want to be grateful to Dade, but he still wants to use your background to harm you!"

"No, brother, you go back and tell your father-in-law that he can prepare early, I hope I think about all this......

No matter how great the power of the cold phase is, it can't help the Zhu family, which is now in full swing.

I'm afraid that Emperor Yan, who is not sober-minded, will now stand on the side of Leng Xiang......

"Xiao Jiu, this matter is very important, don't act rashly first, let me discuss with my father-in-law and brothers before making plans!"

After Zhu Hua solemnly finished speaking, after exchanging news with Zhu Jiu, he quickly left and went back to Zhu's house, and at the same time, he gathered all the Zhu brothers that night.

However, Zhu Qin was still more careful, and after hearing about Zhu Jiu's assassination today, he immediately sent two elite secret guards, Tiger One and Tiger Er, to Zhu Jiu's side to protect her.

When night just fell, Zhu Jiu also steamed chestnut cake.

Looking at the plain white pastry and smelling the aroma of chestnuts, she seemed to have a carefree day when she returned to the General's Mansion.

Such a thought was fleeting, and after shaking his head funny, Zhu Jiu sprinkled some osmanthus on the snow-white chestnut cake, and the aroma of osmanthus combined with the fragrance of the chestnut cake, soft and sweet, very appetizing.

Next to the chestnut cake, she also added a stack of hawthorn powder, and ate it with chestnut cake dipped in hawthorn powder, so that it would not get tired.

Jiang Cheng ate it in front of her, pointed to the chestnut cake and praised it on the spot, as if all the poems and songs he learned were used in this chestnut cake.

Zhu Jiu was a little helpless: "I don't know how to make chestnut cakes, this is the first time I have tried, if you like it, I will invite two cooks to come over in the future."

"Don't bother the general, I think this chestnut cake is very good to my taste." Jiang Cheng said with a smile.

His pale and handsome cheeks still looked a little weak, and his speech was weak, but his tone was a little brighter and more hearty, and he was very comfortable talking to people.

"By the way, General, those dead soldiers today may be related to Prime Minister Leng Cheng, you should be more wary of him, I heard that you came back from Gaoxin Country a few days ago, I am afraid that Prime Minister Leng will inevitably make a big fuss about this matter, and the celebration banquet in three days will ......

After a few light words, Xuanyuan Che played the role of a dutiful staff, his eyes darkened, and he reminded, "I'm afraid it will be a Hongmen banquet for you."

Hongmen feast, there is no return.

Why didn't Zhu Jiu understand what he meant? just sneered, and glanced at the direction of the Prime Minister's Mansion outside the window: "I'm afraid that there is no return, it may not be me."

This cold phase has repeatedly backstabbed loyal ministers and good ministers, and he deserves to die.

This is the first time that Zhu Jiu has made a killing move since returning to the dynasty.

After clearly seeing the look in her eyes, Xuanyuan Che couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, Zhu Jiu turned around, and happened to see his smile, and was puzzled for a while: "What are you laughing at?"

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Che shook his head, brushed away the broken hair in her ears that was blown by the wind, and said with a smile: "I laugh at the world that people can't understand you."

"They thought that General Zhu was born a female god of war and should die on the battlefield for the Yan Kingdom, but they didn't know that it was easy to be a thief, and a good general was rare."

The implication is that if Zhu Jiu wants to rebel, his methods will only be more clever and ruthless than that of Prime Minister Leng Cheng.

It's just that she doesn't want to be such a person who disregards the lives of the people.

Because she crawled out of corpses since she was a child, she cherished her life more than anyone else.
