Chapter Seventy-One: Abandon the Darkness and Turn to the Light
When he left the courtyard, Tang Wenqi was relieved and satisfied, but Zhang Wu was groggy and vague under his feet.
"Your Excellency!"
The little guy in the house has been guarding outside, and when he saw someone coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward to help.
Zhang Wuyi grabbed the little guy's arm and leaned most of the weight on his body, until he got into the carriage, his hands were still trembling.
"Are you alright, sir?"
Hearing the little guy's inquiry in a trance, Zhang Wu subconsciously wanted to pull out a smile but found that his face was already stiff, let alone making an expression, and even the simple action of opening his mouth became very difficult.
He must have been terrified!
Thinking about it, it was also His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who asked him, a powerless disciple, to do such a major event as assassinating the prince to punish the nine clans, and no one would have to be frightened!
If he just felt that Tang Wenqi was not suitable to be a monarch before, then now he has every reason to believe that he is afraid that he is not even worthy of being a man!
At least man has a conscience, but he doesn't!
Chapter 5 closed his eyes in despair, shielded his vision with the back of his hand, and kept thinking about what he should do to protect himself and his wife at the same time.
It's a pity that no matter what he thinks, this game can't be broken after all.
Without him, just because he is just a powerless and powerless man, and his master is His Royal Highness the Prince.
To put it mildly, even if he immediately returns to his house and runs away with his wife and his party, where can he escape?
When Tang Wenqi found out, he would definitely be annoyed and not say anything, and he would definitely not let him go.
The whole world is not the king's land, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to kill his family is almost like killing an ant.
"Heh, it's not long to die!" Chapter 5 let out a low wry smile.
The little guy on the side was puzzled when he heard this, and just as he wanted to ask, the carriage suddenly stopped.
The two people in the carriage were not prepared and were directly knocked together.
Zhang Wu screamed in pain, and was just about to get angry when he heard a voice from outside.
"Master Zhang, the prince is invited."
Zhang Wuyi was stunned, remembering the person he saw last time, and his eyes lit up instantly.
"But Ji Shizi?"
"Heh, Lord Zhang said that he laughed, how many princes are there in the Euphorbia Country?"
I saw that Zhang Wu seemed to see the hope in his life, and he pushed the car door open, and what he saw was the most familiar guard beside Ji Dou.
He immediately raised a smile and hurriedly asked, "I don't know where Ji Shizi is now, the minister has important matters." ”
When the guards outside heard this, they couldn't help but raise their eyebrows, and said to their companions with some amusement: "This chapter five is getting more and more on the road now." ”
The last time Ji Dou went out to meet him in person, he was quite unhappy.
If it weren't for Ji Dou's coercion and temptation, Zhang Wu would not have confided in the whole plan.
I didn't think how long it had been before this man went up to the pole and asked for shelter.
The companion on the side glared at the guard angrily: "Don't talk about the cool air, you can't be outside for too long now." ”
"Yes, yes, that's verbose!"
"Master Zhang, please!"
The group took Zhang Wuqi and turned around to an inconspicuous teahouse.
Zhang Wu was led directly by the guards to the private room on the third floor.
As soon as I entered, I saw Ji Dou sitting in front of the windowsill, holding a book of art of war in his hand and looking at it energetically.
Just when he was hesitating to salute first, he saw Ji Dou put the book in his hand on the table with a snap, looked at him sharply, and said coldly: "Master Zhang, I haven't seen you for many days, don't come unharmed!" ”
"Your Highness is serious, it should be the minister who has come to greet you."
Saying that, Zhang Wu made a big salute to Ji Dou in a proper manner.
Under normal circumstances, Ji Dou is the least particular about these false gifts, but today he received this great gift solidly, which shows that he is willing to accept Zhang Wu's surrender.
"It seems that Master Zhang has thought it through."
Zhang Wu lay on the ground and replied without raising his head: "Thank you Your Highness for coming to the rescue, otherwise I am afraid that it will be ......."
He didn't say the next words, but Ji Dou heard the meaning.
"Master Zhang doesn't have to be polite, get up and speak."
I saw Zhang Wuzhan get up tremblingly and sit opposite him at Ji Dou's suggestion.
"Your Highness?"
"I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invited Lord Zhang to drink tea in the courtyard today, I don't know how comfortable it can be, after all, the tea there is all tribute tea, and if it is not good, I am afraid that it is better than His Majesty to drink."
The corners of Zhang Wu's mouth couldn't help twitching when he heard this.
Today, he was almost stupid in the other courtyard, not to mention tea, even if he was rancid, he was afraid that he would not be able to drink it.
He smiled at Ji Dou and said embarrassedly: "Don't make fun of the minister, I'm in the other courtyard today...... The minister's dog guts were frightened. ”
Ji Dou became interested when he heard this, raised his eyebrows and looked at him and asked, "Why, our Royal Highness the Crown Prince has asked you to do something amazing, let's hear it, maybe the young master can help you." ”
With Ji Dou's promise, Zhang Wu's pounding heart gradually calmed down.
I saw him take a deep breath and slowly reveal Tang Wenqi's plan.
Then he saw with his own eyes that the handsome face of his new master, who had just surrendered, changed a variety of expressions, until finally he showed a touch of surprise.
This is indeed no wonder that Ji Dou would lose his temper like this, it was really what Zhang Wu said that shocked him too much.
Originally, he thought that no matter how shameless Tang Wenqi was, he would only use some indiscriminate methods, such as using Ji Yuanzhou's death to ruin the reputation of the Ji clan, or letting some unintelligent people under him act as assassins and kill people.
But he never imagined that he could be so shameless.
He actually wants to kill the prince now, so shouldn't the next step be to kill the king?
Thinking of this, Ji Dou's face gradually became serious, and he looked at Zhang Wu who had just said these words with heavy eyes.
"Master Zhang, what you said is sure that everything is true, and there is not the slightest falsehood?"
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Zhang Wu hurriedly raised three fingers and swore to the sky.
"If Your Highness does not believe it, the fifth minister will immediately swear to the heavens, if what he says today is even the slightest false, he will not die well in the future."
Looking at Zhang Wu's appearance, Ji Dou didn't think it was a lie.
But it was precisely because it was the truth that he looked down on Tang Wenqi more and more.
"Oh, the prince of a dignified country, the prince, is such a villain, it is really despicable!"
Chapter Five nodded in agreement.
In his opinion, Tang Wenqi really has no room for people, and even if such a prince comes to power in the future, he can only become a mediocre monarch, which is not good for the country and the people.
Although he is greedy for the dragon's work, he is not a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong.
Now he has abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, hoping only to preserve the family.
"Lord Shizi, what do you say should be done with this matter?" Zhang Wu asked wryly.
