Chapter 18 Leave an account

Although he thought of the weird point of Empress Dowager Jiang, after all, there was still a "Mrs. Jiang" sitting next to him, and he didn't think too much about it.

Thinking that the two of them were angry, they thought that Mrs. Jiang was still very satisfied with herself, otherwise how could she tell her story to Empress Dowager Zhao.

Zhuang Xun thought that he was destined to fail her, and he also felt some guilt, hoping that he could not escape by chance.

The plan is to avoid the gaze of the gods and Buddhas of the heavens, and plan how to get in touch with the King of Reincarnation and go directly to the City God Temple, which is too obvious, and it is necessary to find another reason.

"Madame Jiang" followed, rode in the same carriage with him, raised his hand, and wiped his hand in the same way as Madame Jiang had done last time.

"The wine hurts, drink less." "Mrs. Jiang" said softly, Zhuang Xun just didn't have much alcohol, and a few glasses could make him dizzy.

"The reward of the elders, I dare not refuse." Glancing up at Mrs. Jiang, there is an indescribable weirdness, is it more kind?

"Can't help yourself?" "Mrs. Jiang" sighed lightly, with an expression of understanding and understanding.

"It's very uncomfortable in Zhao Kingdom." "Mrs. Jiang" said again.

Zhuang Xun didn't dare to answer, he was dizzy and not stupid, closed his eyes and pretended that he didn't understand.

"Do you want to go back to Xia Kingdom?" "Mrs. Jiang" further said that Zhuang Xun and Empress Dowager Jiang had a very happy conversation today, but the current fatigue is real.

"How can I go back if I didn't marry you, and Emperor Zhao just sent a lone team of dancing girls, so it's not boring." With an astringent expression, he took the initiative to grab the hand of "Mrs. Jiang".

It seems that he has given up the struggle and is ready to enjoy life.

"......" and "Mrs. Jiang" were silent, even if it was really Mrs. Jiang, she would not be fooled, knowing that it was perfunctory, she was played by Lan Qiu, how could she be fooled like this.

If you don't see through it, if Zhuang Xun wants to act, accompany him to act, let Zhuang Xun touch her jade hand, and rub her palm back and forth on the back of her hand.

"The six rites are complicated, and you have to wait for a while, and then you will be Mrs. Lone, not Mrs. Jiang."

Zhuang Xun didn't take a step closer, and said with the strength of wine, half-truths and half-truths, he couldn't escape with all his efforts, so he naturally gave up, obediently married Mrs. Jiang and then went back.

"Then I have to ask Xianggong for mercy, but the slave family has to continue to send intelligence to Zhao Guo, I'm sorry for Xianggong's love."

"Mrs. Jiang" said frankly that this can be regarded as a rebellion against "her", she wants to listen to Zhuang Xun's opinion, and he is by his side for this kind of fair and honest arrangement.

She learned Mrs. Jiang's tone, as well as the image of Mrs. Jiang that she saw every day, charming, seductive, and delicate.

"Then you have to be on guard, but they are all from Zhao Guo, and they have all come to sign the alliance, what are you doing with the intelligence."

Zhuang Xun snorted, disapproving, as if he had completely succumbed, and had a sense of giving up whatever Zhao Guo said.

"Really?" "Mrs. Jiang" saw Zhuang Xun's submission, she didn't know what to say, she didn't want Zhuang Xun to give in, because that meant that she also gave in.

"Of course it's true, Zhao Guoqiang and Xia Guoqiang can get the support of Zhao Guo, as his pawn in Jizhou, it can be regarded as a lonely creation."

Zhuang Xun had a grateful tone and a pious attitude, and no one could find any fault, which was probably a manifestation of being shocked by Zhao Guo's national strength.

He doesn't like acting, but if he engages in politics, he must be able to act and become a good actor, because he is still in Zhao Guo, he must act well, but fortunately, he has learned well.

"Besides, Lone is now in Zhao Kingdom, why do you want to make all this mess, just do it according to Zhao Guo's wishes, then everything is fine, isn't it."

slightly revealing some helplessness, it is more conducive to convincing others of the truth of his expression of emotions, believing that he has given up struggling.

"So the Queen Mother asked the slave family to monitor you in the name of marrying, so that you can't do anything to Chengyu and the two countries, Your Highness, don't you care?"

"Mrs. Jiang" made it clear, the phoenix eyes looked directly at Zhuang Xun's evasive eyes, and there was already partiality in her heart, and her position should have been Zhao Guo's position.

"That's the way it is, you don't have to monitor Lone, Lone will do this, and in exchange for you being by Lone's side all the time, but is the Queen Mother so far away?"

Zhuang Xun is highly vigilant in his heart, vigilant against bad women playing the emotional card, empathy card, and covering himself for a while, but he feels that he is too worried, what is there to set in this situation.

"Because Zhao Guo can't trust you, even if you can trust it, the method of keeping insurance is also the habit of the Queen Mother."

"Mrs. Jiang" put her heart in her heart and reminded again, but unfortunately Zhuang Xun's expression did not change in the slightest.

He didn't trust Mrs. Jiang, since the wall of trust in the barrier was broken, he had left his guard, and now Mrs. Jiang is not the white moonlight she used to be.

When he was weak, he selflessly helped, fed bait, and hoped that he would grow up quickly.

"Then His Highness returns to the Xia Kingdom, how to cooperate with the Zhao Kingdom." Unable to get Zhuang Xun's position, "Mrs. Jiang" was a little discouraged and turned to other topics.

"Mrs. Jiang" She knew that her words were abrupt, why did she want to know Zhuang Xun's position, because she also wanted to determine her own position.

She thought a lot about herself, and wanted to find an answer in Zhuang Xun, an answer that would convince her.

If Zhuang Xun didn't have that kind of thought, she really felt at ease and surrendered to Zhao Guo, then no matter how much she thought about it, it would have no effect, but if Zhuang Xun had plans to break her bones, she would also have the psychology to help.

But until now, she hasn't figured out Zhuang Xun's movements, Zhuang Xun hates extravagance is true, and it is true that in this kind of dangerous situation of ambush on all sides, it is also true that the prison does not leak.

He may run away, or he may give in like this, "Mrs. Jiang" is not sure, in case he tries his best to let Zhuang Xun escape, but in the end he said that he thinks Zhao Guo is very good and doesn't want to leave, the harlequin is himself.

Therefore, "Mrs. Jiang" now wants to find out Zhuang Xun's true thoughts, so that she can continue to struggle, because she is already very entangled at the moment.

"Mrs. Jiang, you said that Zhao Guo didn't want Lone to attack Yu State and Cheng State, so wouldn't it be okay for Lone to govern Lone Xia Country obediently?"

Zhuang Xun pretended to be relieved and said that when he got close to "Mrs. Jiang", the whole person seemed to relax a lot.

"Didn't Madame say that you cultivators like people who can govern the country? If you manage Jiannan well, will you like it more? ”

Pretending to be unproductive, Zhuang Xun's words have been done to cooperate with Zhao Guo's meaning.

"Is it to continue to suppress the family and redistribute the land to the people?" Ignoring Zhuang Xun's loyalty to Zhao Guo, "Mrs. Jiang" asked directly about policy, and her confrontation just now made her understand that she couldn't get Zhuang Xun's thoughts in words.

"It should be, after all, it is mainly the queen who implements it, and it shouldn't change the current law." Zhuang Xun leaned on the back of the carriage, squinted his eyes, and felt like he was going to sleep, and his hand slowly let go of the jade hand of "Mrs. Jiang".

"I heard Lan Qiu say that His Highness sympathizes with the commoners, and it is true, but His Highness has not thought about it, what does the family of Zhao Guo think."

Zhuang Xun pretended to be asleep and couldn't hide it from "Mrs. Jiang", Zhuang Xun's hand was released, but she clenched Zhuang Xun's hand tightly, and her eyes revealed worry.

"What can they see, and what do they want to see if they are not ashamed?" Zhuang Xun tilted his head and leaned inward, looking very tired.

"Your Highness will be regarded as an outlier, you must be careful not to be framed by them, and after the unification of the Zhao State, they will undoubtedly seize more land, and the land you have allocated will return to their hands in a short time."

Speaking of the consequences she foresaw, she had seen how the people of Jiannan went from being displaced to having a family and having their own land.

She also foresaw that the process of the unification of the Zhao State and the annexation of the land by the family, she remembered that the Empress Dowager Jiang said that the land would be redistributed after unification, but thinking about it, the Empress Dowager Jiang had already obtained the Tao with the help of the merits of unification, and as a god, she had some strength to intervene in the Zhao State.

"The general trend of Zhao State to unify the world is unstoppable, Mrs. Jiang, Xuannu Niangniang, aren't you also betting on Zhao State?"

Zhuang Xun opened his eyes and looked at Mrs. Jiang, Zhuang Xun naturally felt that his path was correct, but Zhao Guo's combat power was not fake, and the family was a double-edged sword, depending on which direction to cut.

Now there are gods and gods, with the help of magic, and the country has accumulated for decades, like a behemoth, he can understand the choice of Mrs. Jiang and Xuannu.

Using his example on the earth, Mrs. Jiang and Xuannu are both executives of large factories, and now they have a small competitive company, and it is interesting enough to let them let themselves live through their relationships and acquire them, do you want to leave their foundation behind and work with yourself This company that seems to be just a good idea?

Zhuang Xun is not so self-sufficient, this aspect is clear, what he means by this rhetorical question is that you have all made a choice, and you are still asking me what I am doing.

"Your Highness is not angry? The foundation he worked so hard to create was swallowed up by these cannibalistic families. "Mrs. Jiang" frowned, slightly disappointed, Zhuang Xun was simply a dead fish, and he didn't know how to jump when he got into the oil pot.

"What's the use of being angry, I've been pinched to death by you, can I escape?" Zhuang Xun said with a little irritation.

How does Mrs. Jiang feel that she is not as mature and stable as before, and she feels like she has changed from Si Qin Mi to He Tan.

Zhuang Xun was dissatisfied in his heart and thought to himself.

"It's good to know these things, what are you doing when you say it, everyone is laughing, I really can't find a chance to leave, it's not good for you to come to my house to be my wife.

Ask these questions, you want me to answer not uncomfortable, isn't it just a lie, saying that it is uncomfortable, and it seems that I am rebellious, what do you want me to do? ”

"......" That's right, that's it, Zhuang Xun's slightly aggrieved expression met the eyes of "Mrs. Jiang", and she understood.

"Your Highness, the post house has arrived." Huang Xi, who was driving, shouted into the car.

"I drank too much wine and talked nonsense, Mrs. Jiang don't be surprised, go back to rest first." Zhuang Xun felt that he had lost his words, lost a no, and got out of the car.

"Huang Xi, send Mrs. Jiang back, please forgive Mrs. Jiang, you can't accompany you if you are drunk." Zhuang Xun confessed, apologized again, and squeezed out a smile.

"It's okay, it's okay...... Your Highness take a break. "Got the answer she wanted," Mrs. Jiang smiled and waved her handkerchief goodbye to Zhuang Xun.

Back in the princess's mansion, it is also the house that is going to be given to Zhuang Xun in the future, Zhuang Xun's problem is solved, and it is his turn to solve his own problem.

Are you sure you want to help Zhuang Xun escape? Even if the Empress Dowager Jiang, who betrays herself like a teacher and mother, even if one link is wrong, she will be discovered by the Mantian gods and Buddhas who support Zhao State, and the road will be interrupted, even if it succeeds, Zhuang Xun is unlikely to defeat Zhao State, seize the world, and realize the life of people in his mouth.

All this is unknown, the road ahead is full of thorns, and Zhuang Xun's chances of realizing what he said are not even as good as Empress Dowager Jiang's promise to Zhuang Xun, reason told her not to do anything, and emotionally asked her to help Zhuang Xun.

Hearing Zhuang Xun's unwillingness in her heart, she also felt unwilling, stop-and-go, sit and exchange places, this is a stupid thing, just like Zhuang Xun leaving Zhao Guo is a stupid thing, something at your fingertips, a good merit to be used, choose a persistence.

I couldn't sleep all night, I couldn't meditate, I couldn't get enlightenment when I read the scriptures, and I didn't even dare to say the name of Xuannu in my heart, because Xuannu also stood on the opposite side of her.

Entangled before asking, entangled after asking, there is Mrs. Jiang's teaching, let her do good and accumulate virtue, there is the panic when she sees the godless eyes hiding in the door, and the sarcasm at the Zhuang Inquiry banquet, the numbness of King Zhao and others.

She was already a qualified practitioner, she knew right and wrong, good and evil, and agreed with Zhuang Xun's views, which made her particularly painful.

Because this should not be the idea that her position should have, she thinks that what Zhuang Xun did is the right way, so what the Empress Dowager Jiang did is crooked.

The probability of being able to succeed on the right path is the smallest, and you have to pay the weight of your life, the price of the path, and everything you are doing now.

She couldn't sleep, she sat at the head of the bed, took out a brocade box, and the beautiful golden hair fork was lying quietly in the silk cloth, on which was a golden luan with a raised head.

Touching Jin Hai, as if he had caught Zhuang Xun's hand, it was not big, and his movements were still squinting, and he didn't know if it was true or false, as if he didn't hate it too much, and he was fascinated.

"I know that the path is right, but I am running away, this does not mean that I am avoiding my path, I can't cultivate my mind, and what kind of path can I cultivate."

Try to convince yourself, give yourself confidence, and support, and take the thorny path, if this is right, when the heart of seeking the path is shaken, it is also the moment when you fall into the devil's path and do not have the right results.

"Marry your husband, this is also what you told the slave maid." muttered to himself, slowly lifted the golden hairpin above his head, replaced his previous hairpin, and thought of the words that the Empress Dowager Jiang praised Si Qinmi to her before, as well as the warning to Li Ruxi.

As long as you make a decision in your heart and want to do something, then no matter what you think, in the end, you are just making excuses for this matter, and there is no need to toss a coin, when Lan Qiu asked Zhuang to start today, it was destined to be this result.

may be a foresight, or an instinctive attack of his own premonition of danger, Empress Dowager Jiang also explained the precautions to King Zhao before leaving.

"Optimistic about King Xia You, this is not a simple character, it is a hidden dragon that really has the posture of a dragon and a phoenix, you can make waves if you give the clouds, and you can enter the sea to become a dragon if you give a little river water, you must leave him in Zhao Kingdom."

Empress Dowager Jiang changed the queen mother's phoenix hairpin crown and put on ordinary gorgeous clothes, like a noble lady about to go on a spring outing, complicated and concise.

"Queen Mother, what kind of hidden dragon, are you mistaken, Zhuang Xun's appearance can also be called a hidden dragon?" King Zhao generally does not refute what the Empress Dowager Jiang said, but he feels that the Empress Dowager Jiang is really too exaggerated.

"If you can be big or small, if you are big, you will be able to spit out fog, and if you are small, you will only see what he wants you to see."

The spell outlined a huge dragon, coiling around the side of the Empress Dowager Jiang, sometimes big and sometimes small, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, swinging with the Empress Dowager Jiang's hand.

"He's hiding clumsy, he can't see it, don't worry, he can't escape from Jinyang until you allow the queen mother!" King Zhao was slightly puzzled, feeling that his mother was making a big fuss, but he still obeyed the order.

"Alas, what is he hiding, he is like this, but you can't understand it, the mourning family can understand it, but it can't be conveyed to you."

Zhuang Xun's ridicule at the banquet, explaining the true meaning, and saying it to make King Zhao angry, even if he advised, King Zhao would not be convinced, either to find trouble with Zhuang Xun or to trouble the family, maybe there will be some trouble, just don't say it.

"Queen Mother, it's really as profound as you say." Looking at Empress Dowager Jiang's expression that you don't understand, King Zhao will be suspicious, but it still doesn't match his impression of Zhuang Xun.

"Whether this is the case or not, you just take care of him, last time Nie Xu escaped, so that now the secluded land has become a summer land, this time the king of Xia You escaped, the land of Jizhou is eroded, and we can no longer intervene."

Taking out the example of the last time, Mrs. Jiang sounded the alarm bell for King Zhao, so that King Zhao paid great attention, speaking of Nie Xu, who was released last time, if he didn't die and pulled Zhuang Xun in the secluded place, Zhao Guo could still mediate and intensify the contradictions between the two sides in the name of his benefactor, where is there such shamelessness now.

"We deliberately put it last time, otherwise how could Nie Xu escape from Jinyang, and besides, no matter how bad Jizhou is, sweep it away with the army, can they still resist our Xuantie heavy cavalry?"

King Zhao proudly said that Xuanjia is heavy and invincible in the world, as long as he starts a war, he doesn't know how to lose.

"Authority cannot be used indiscriminately, the family opposes the use of Jizhou to act on a poor and remote country, and use your majesty to mobilize troops and be trapped, which is the time when your personal prestige is lost."

Empress Dowager Jiang taught her son that the emperor has the ability to mobilize troops around the family, but the premise is that if you want to win, you have to win, and if you win, you are right, and if you lose, you will lose your prestige and majesty.

However, the depth of Jizhou is large, and the gains outweigh the losses, and it can be solved with the smallest effort, so why is it thankless.

The main enemy is not in this direction, and the unification of Jizhou is just a big cat, why should he leave his back to two hostile teenagers in order to solve a flexible cat.

"Erchen understands, just to watch a person, rest assured that he will not be able to get out of the range of Jinyang this time."

King Zhao saw that Empress Dowager Jiang's expression was serious, and he also assured him.

"A feast for three days, a reward for five days, to make sure he is in your eyes at all times."

Empress Dowager Jiang gave advice.

It's a pity that King Zhao didn't listen.
