In the Imperial Study.

Faced with such tempting conditions as Shang Zerui, Shang Zeyi was stunned for a while.

Being bound in the Golden Tower has always been something he doesn't like, he loves freedom, blows the wind and admires the moon and wanders the world, if it weren't for the fact that the survival of White Deer City depends on the Shang Kingdom, he would not be willing to be trapped here.

The one-year appointment with Shang Zerui has just begun, a year is not long but not short, thinking that there is still so much time to consume, he is actually a little irritable.

Now there is an opportunity to appear in front of him, he can leave the Golden Building at will, and he has no worries, and he can continue to get Shang Zerui to continue to support and help protect White Deer City.

He was actually very excited.

But the heartbeat is only temporary, and he calms down in a moment, and the price of his freedom is to kill Shang Zejin, and he still can't do it after all.

has nothing to do with anything else, Shang Zejin has always been his biological brother.

Even if he really committed treason, for Shang Zeyi, he was still his brother, and he couldn't kill him.

But the opportunity that easily appeared in front of him, and he didn't want to give up so easily, so Shang Zeyi chose a compromise way and bargained with Shang Zejin: "Actually, if you want to kill the third child, it is nothing more than afraid that the third child will do something out of the ordinary again, after all, they are brothers for more than 20 years, why do you have to live or die." ”

"So I'll make a pact with you, as long as I can keep the third child safe, you will let me out of the Golden Building, how about it?"

Shang Zeyi thought about it well, in fact, he was not very sure that Shang Zerui would agree, but he didn't want to be the executioner of this brotherhood.

Who knew that to Shang Zeyi's surprise, Shang Zerui didn't even think about it, and agreed in one bite.

"If you can make the third child honest, everything he has done before can be written off, and I can agree to your request. ”

Shang Zerui agreed too quickly, Shang Zeyi didn't react at once, he was stunned for a while, he was afraid that Shang Zerui would return, so he quickly agreed.

Then it was a foregone conclusion. Shang Zeyi's eyes rolled, and the chicken thief was authentic.

"You don't have any jokes. Shang Zerui said solemnly, showing that he was not joking, and also made Shang Zeyi feel relieved for a while.

After getting Shang Zerui's agreement, Shang Zeyi happily retreated, and this time he made some gains, not only verified his conjecture, but also got an opportunity to escape from the Golden Building.

Although what he verified was not entirely correct, it was true that Shang Zerui did not communicate with Shang Zejin in the matter of the Li family, but he was not completely ignorant.

After Shang Zeyi left the palace, Chang Si and Shang Zerui stood side by side, and said as if they were thinking through his thoughts: "Are you still thinking about taking Shang Zejin out?"

Shang Zerui laughed at himself, shook his head and said, "Zejin is also my younger brother. ”

Chang Si also shook his head and said: "He is also the prince of the Shang Kingdom, if he has to do it, you can't stop him." ”

Shang Zerui thought about Shang Zejin's seemingly relaxed face that was actually stubborn to death, and sighed: "After all, I have to try, and it's better than nothing." ”

The two stood for a long time, Chang Si was addicted to alcohol and took a sip, Shang Zerui suddenly snatched the wine gourd from his hand and drank more than half of it.

Chang Si looked at him and sighed: "Brother, father and king, if you want to do so many roles well, you are destined to be the most miserable in the world." ”

Shang Zeyi did not go directly to the Jin Palace's mansion after leaving the palace.

The day before yesterday, he was just blocked by Shang Zejin's words, and today he got the task in a hurry, seeing that Shang Zejin had to go all the way to the black, he hadn't figured out how to persuade Shang Zejin.

But he has another idea, since the matter starts from the Li family, as long as the roots of the Li family are dug up, then Shang Zejin will no longer be able to turn over any storms.

He didn't know about Shang Zejin and Shang Zerui's grand plan to face the world, and thought that at most it was just a calculation with Qi Guo, so he thought about it simply.

For the time being, he only saw the Li family, and if he wanted to dig up the roots of the Li family, he had to find an old friend.

A few days ago, Su Jingluo caught Li Xincheng and put him back, and he also smashed the irrelevant dyeing business of the Li family halfway, which seemed to be insignificant, but in fact, it was all done by Su Jingluo with other intentions, the purpose was to set up an overall situation.

He knew the general plan, and today he mainly wanted to see how far the plan had got.

In the past few days, the situation on the surface has reached a stalemate, and both Su Jingluo and Wan Junke have begun to stand still, except for more small houses on the street to come out to sell, neither side has invested in it anymore.

On the surface, this is the case, but secretly Shang Zeyi knows that it must be surging.

Su Jingluo threw out the bait, Wan Jun still couldn't help but bite the bait, the Li family seemed to be still on the defensive, but there were some forces secretly mobilizing inside, waiting for the moment of a showdown.

And Su Jingluo is still an idle person drinking tea in the small courtyard in the south of the city, and he doesn't even go to the Baiguozhen General Shop, and it seems that he has completely given up the Li family.

But secretly, he is also constantly deploying forces, in addition to Wang Qinian's frequent running to his yard in the past few days, when he passed by Ma's house yesterday, in addition to letting Wu Laochao prepare wine and food, he also took the bridge between him and Su Jingluo by the way.

I think these two people should have met yesterday.

Shang Zeyi came to the small courtyard in the south of the city alone.

It looked very quiet today, and there was no one else except Su Jingluo and Shu Xiaojia.

Su Jingluo was still drinking tea and basking in the sun on the recliner as always, while Shu Xiaojia was much more industrious than him and was preparing to wash rice and cook.

"Cooking for me, I'll eat here at noon. After Shang Ze recalled the courtyard, he shamelessly rubbed rice with Shu Xiaojia.

"Good Ratcha. Shu Xiaojia smiled and poured out one more person's rice from the rice bowl and continued to wash it.

Shang Zeyi sat down on the recliner familiarly, stared at Shu Xiaojia with interest and sighed: "Such a virtuous Xiao Jia girl, I don't know which man will be cheaper in the future?"

Shu Xiaojia's face turned as red as an apple when she heard this, and she said angrily: "Brother Shang is talking nonsense, I'm still young." ”

Shang Zeyi deliberately teased her: "It's not small, and I will be able to get married in a few years." ”

Shu Xiaojia couldn't stand Shang Zeyi's ridicule like this, her face was so red that she was about to drip water, Su Jingluo slapped Shang Zeyi's thigh heavily, and said angrily: "It's not enough to come to my house to eat, you have to tease my sister, Shang Zeyi, you don't want to live anymore, right?" ”

"Xiao Jia, don't make lunch for this kid. ”

The rice has been washed, how can there really be no such thing as a joke, it is a joke at first glance, Shu Xiaojia smiled and went into the house to cook, leaving the outside to the two men.

After Shu Xiaojia left, Shang Zeyi began to get down to business: "What's the plan now? ”

Su Jingluo held the teacup with confidence on his face: "Since Wan Jun has already taken the bait, he can't run away, I have already contacted the helper I need in the past two days, and then I will only wait for two people." ”

"Who is it, our side should also move faster, the speed of Qi Guo's side is faster than expected, and we can't afford to drag it out. ”

"I got information from Wang Qinian, the person who replaced Ji Yuan on the Qi State side has already set off, and he is speeding all the way, and he will arrive at the Golden Tower in five days at the slowest speed. ”

In fact, on the second day of Ji Yuan's assassination by him, the people on the Qi side had already left, and they didn't know anything about their identities, obviously the other party was also stealth.

That person's whereabouts were secretive, and he was erratic along the way, and if he didn't have to pass through White Deer City, Wang Qinian wouldn't have been able to find him.

If he is allowed to reach the Golden Tower and mobilize the forces of the Qi State that are temporarily scattered in the Golden Tower to put pressure on the Shang State, the situation will be reversed immediately.

The reason why Shang Zeyi came in a hurry is that in addition to Shang Zejin, there is also a relationship at this level.

With such a big change, Su Jingluo was not worried when he heard it at first, he said calmly: "Today at the earliest, tomorrow at the latest, those two people will appear." ”
