one step closer to the end

Zhao Guanren shook his head and said: "But your son-in-law doesn't know how to restrain himself. The emperor is sharpening his knife. He is playing tricks. King Chu's army has arrived in Huaiyang. This time, whoever dares to move will destroy the nine clans. So I can't help you two." , Concubine Long Zi has just come to power, you must be slaughtered to stand up!"

"We all understand the truth, we are just two chickens who killed a chicken to show the monkey..."

Qiu Ning said sadly: "We admit that our family is in decline, but now many people want to show their loyalty to the court and punish our family to death. I beg you only to win a fairy king. Even giving birth to a fairy can improve both of us." Family blood, straighten your back and be a man in the future, and don't come out of such stupid bastards!"

"How many babies have you had..."

Zhao Guanren stubbed out the cigarette butt and looked at the girl. The girl was stunned for a moment and said, "No, I haven't been born. My family is innocent, and I haven't allowed anyone to do anything!"

"Hmph~ You still dare to lie in front of me, I am innocent of your mother..."

Zhao Guanren snorted coldly: "Qiu Ning! Look at the people in your family. Bloodlines are important, but gods will degenerate into demons sometimes. Even if I ask the gods to come down and breed you, you don't know how to raise them, and you don't have a tutor." It's useless, there will still be fools and villains!"

"What? You, you're not a virgin..."

Qiu Ning suddenly jumped up from the ground, the girl cried out in fright, Qiu Ning threw her to the ground with a big mouth, and roared: "You shameless thing, our whole family kowtows to beg for help, will you The treasure is betting on you, and you dare to deceive us!"

"Okay! No matter if she's innocent or not, I won't take anyone who comes to borrow her seeds..."

Zhao Guanren frowned and said, "I'm not a breeding pig. What's the difference between borrowing a breed and bridging it? It's an insult to my personality, but you just have to tell me the truth, where is Zhang Tiansheng? You can also get rid of the shame!"

"Thank you for your kindness, my natal family has a caravan. They met Zhang Tiansheng..."

Qiu Ning wiped his tears and knelt back, and said: "The caravan was trapped in the country of Ji due to the poisoning incident. Last month, the country released it. When they left the customs, they encountered a beggar who entered the customs with a Ningzhou accent. They were very careful. After looking at it for a while, when I came back, I saw the official document of Haizhuo, and I confirmed that it was Zhang Tiansheng!"

"Damn it! Why did you go to the country of Ji? It doesn't make sense..."

Zhao Guanren looked confused, but Qiu Ning said again: "My lord! Beggars can't enter the customs, but Zhang Tiansheng is not only protected by officers and soldiers, but also got into a carriage with the officers and soldiers. I boldly guess whether he will carry the corpse poison It was sold in the country of Kyrgyzstan!"

"You go out and wait..."

Zhao Guanren drove the girl away with a wave of his hand, and said: "Zhang Tiansheng must be carrying corpse poison, but I can't figure out why he would take such a risk to join the enemy, his old mother doesn't care, and Dashun's price is not low, Giving him money doesn’t count his crimes, and he might be silenced if he surrenders to the enemy!”

"My lord! Lantai is thousands of miles away from Jiguo..."

Qiu Ning said seriously: "It is impossible for a person who has not passed the customs to reach the Ji country alone. If Zhang Tiansheng asked people all the way, he would be found out as a foreigner, so he knew how to get out of the customs without being discovered, so there is only one way." Possibly, he is... a secret agent of Ji Kingdom!"

"Your analysis makes sense, who taught you..."

Zhao Guanren stood up abruptly, and suddenly realized that many things made sense. First, Zhang Tiansheng's eldest brother hid some of the corpse poison privately for unknown reasons, and everyone who followed him died for several years. The second brother suddenly brought a dozen people with him. Exit for revenge.

The second child said that he died in a bloody battle, but no one in Dashun witnessed it with his own eyes, and normal people wouldn’t do it. A dozen or so people left the customs not for revenge, but to give away their heads. Now it’s the third child’s turn to act as a demon , indicating that the Zhang family has always been connected with Ji Guo.

"Go back to your lord! The caravan is also the eyeliner of the court. They want to report all the news about the country of Ji. The slave's family will be more sensitive..."

Qiu Ning raised his head and said: "The servants who saw Zhang Tiansheng also brought them here, and they are waiting outside the mansion for the prince to summon them. They are very familiar with the situation in the country of Ji, and they have had life-threatening friendships with several wealthy merchants in the country of Ji, so they can serve you for the prince." Go to Kyrgyzstan to provide assistance!"

"You are such a smart woman, and you have done a lot of homework..."

Zhao Guanren knelt down and held her chin up, narrowing his eyes and said, "I've come to my senses now, you are bringing your niece and daughter, not the direct relatives of the two big families, it seems that your Qiu family wants to stand on its own and become the new leader." The Huaiyang weaving!"

"I beg my lord to help me!"

Qiu Ning said pitifully: "Our Qiu family's weaving is not inferior to anyone, besides, it is a side branch. As long as the prince is willing to speak for me, our Qiu family will be able to live. I can send two more virgins here, and I will do my best in the future." Do your best to serve the prince!"

"Don't you understand what I said, this king is not an animal who is not fit for breeding..."

Zhao Guanren said with an evil smile: "I'm different from ordinary people. I never like girls who come to my door. I only like girls who are challenging. You called me so strong before. If I fall on the girl tonight In your stomach, are you really going to bite your tongue and kill yourself?"

"I?"

Qiu Ning's face turned red, and she stammered with evasive eyes: "My lord, don't make fun of my family, how can my family have such a blessing in the form of willows, but if... it's true, my family is reluctant to commit suicide. This is what the empress can't ask for!"

"You are the main wife, not a concubine. If I slept with you, I would be taking advantage of others..."

Zhao Guanren patted her on the face, stood up and said, "There is one thing you must understand. If the Qiu family wants to stand on their own, they must cut ties with the Ningguo Mansion. Your reputation will be bad, such as ungrateful, adding insult to injury and so on!"

"My lord! I dare not hide it from you. This is a decision made by the three of us..."

Qiu Ning stood up and said: "Instead of the three families dying together, it is better to survive with one arm broken, so that the Qiu family, the only one with a chance, can make a comeback. As long as you are willing to intercede for me, my lord, we will completely cut off the relationship between the in-laws, no matter how ugly the outside world is." It's all good, as long as we understand it in our hearts!"

"Go and bring the caravan people in for dinner, and wait for me in the front yard..."

Zhao Guanren walked out with his hands behind his back, and Qiu Ning kowtowed excitedly behind him, tears streaming down his face.

"Ji Guo! You are trying to die..."

Zhao Guanren walked into the gazebo and looked up at the sky. He never expected that the corpse poison would enter the country of Ji in this way. If it suddenly exploded in the country of Ji, it might not take decades before he could wait until the opening of the year of apocalypse to find the order. Lu Datou.

"Master! Someone is looking for you..."

Yuniang suddenly threw herself on Zhao Guanren's back, and once there was no one else, the little girl started to mess around. She kissed him affectionately on the cheek and said with a smile: "I'm afraid you didn't expect that, your family still has relatives alive, you have a Uncle and aunt are here to look for you!"

"I'll go! No way..."

Zhao Guanren blinked in surprise, and Yuniang led him to the front yard, but he was not afraid of his identity leaking now, even Emperor Shun Yao knew that he was not from this place, but people were afraid of being famous and pigs were afraid of being strong. The relatives of the dead ghost Zhao Yunxuan all came to the door.

"Oh~ Yunxuan! I haven't seen you for many years, you have grown into a young man..."

A middle-aged couple stood excitedly in the main room, Zhao Guanren didn't know if they were acting, or if they really didn't recognize their nephew, so he could only pretend to be puzzled and ask: "Who are you, have we met? "

"Why don't you remember uncle? It's only been seven or eight years since uncle left..."

The middle-aged man came forward to report his family affectionately, all his identities and relationships were correct, and he even gave out a lot of details. He was probably Zhao Yunxuan's mother's third brother—Zhang Kai.

"Hehe~"

Zhao Guanren sat down on the chair with a smile, and said, "Regardless of whether they are relatives or not, since the two of you are here, let's play for a few more days, and I will take care of all the food and drink!"

"Yunxuan! We are not beggars from poor relatives, please help us get some snacks..."

Zhang Kai actually sent Yuniang out, quickly closed the door and said in a low voice: "Yunxuan! Your mother must have told you, where have I been all these years? The second time was ordered by the Emperor of Ji Kingdom to issue an edict to you!"

"Are you okay?"

Zhao Guanren poured a cup of tea angrily, and said, "I am obedient to Prince Yongshi, what decree will Emperor Ji give me, fart as soon as I have a fart, and don't associate with me!"

"Oh~ Why didn't your mother tell you, I told her when I left..."

Zhang Kai said anxiously: "Your mother was a refugee who was plundered by Dashun in the Battle of Bashan. I was taken into captivity with her. Your father is not a bandit, but a general of the Kyrgyz country. Your mother was a His concubine gave birth to you within half a year after entering Dashun, you are from the country of Ji!"

"Pfft~"

Zhao Guanren sprayed out his mouthful of tea leaves and stared at him dumbfounded.

"Yunxuan! Uncle didn't lie to you, your mother and I were sent to work as salt workers, and halfway through they were cut by bandits..."

Zhang Kai said in a low voice: "Your mother became Mrs. Yazhai, and I joined them. Later, the court called for safety. Your adoptive father was afraid that you would be bullied, so he said that you were his own son. Our brothers and sisters also took over the account of others. , All the brothers back then knew about it, if you don’t believe me, you can ask!”

"Ha~"

Zhao Guanren put down the teacup and said with a smile, "Sounds really exciting, let's get down to business!"

"The emperor of the country of Ji wants you to return to the country as an official and serve the country of Ji..."

Zhang Kai took out a secret decree and said with a smile: "Of course! You are an extremely human minister now, if you really don't want to go back, the emperor hopes that you can send a message to the emperor Shun thief. Yes, if they dare to let us go, they dare to vote!"

"Why don't you let the envoys hand it over to the emperor, and let me bring something..."

Zhao Guanren leaned back on his chair, and Zhang Kai whispered: "The emperor hopes that you can cooperate with the inside and outside. Let's attack the Shun Zei pass by force. You take this opportunity to assassinate the princess of Jianguo and take over the court of Shun Zei. After the country is destroyed, half of the territory will be given to you. The princes of one side shall establish themselves as kings!"

"Sounds tempting..."

Zhao Guanren looked at him with a smile, and Zhang Kai also smiled proudly: "No! Do you know what your biological father's status is now, Daji first-class Duke of the Town, Qilin General Yuan Shichu, you really have no sons!"

Chapter 0514 Fire in the Backyard

"Damn it! There are fools every year, especially this year..."

Zhao Guanren took out a soldering iron from the charcoal stove, walked up to Zhang Kai who was tied to the pillar, held up the red soldering iron and said with a grin, "You dare to find me a father even if you can't recognize people, open your eyes wide." Take a look, I am your nephew, if you don't tell the truth, I will let you be a eunuch!"

"Uuuuuuu..."

Zhang Kai frantically shook his head in horror, his crotch was so frightened that he pissed, but seeing that Zhao Guanren was about to burn himself, a thick female guard suddenly came over and said in embarrassment: "Master! You gagged his mouth , he can't say it!"

"I'll go! It's no wonder you're tough and make mistakes..."

Zhao Guanren quickly pulled out the cloth ball from his mouth, and Zhang Kai immediately wailed: "My lord! I was wrong, I am not Zhao Yunxuan's uncle, I am a bandit who swarmed back then, and I knew Zhang's brothers and sisters very well, but I really did not lie , the brothers and sisters of the Zhang family are indeed from the country of Kyrgyzstan!"

"continue!"

Zhao Guanren lit a cigarette with a soldering iron, and Zhang Kai trembled from the fright of the green smoke.

"Zhao Yunxuan's mother is called Zhang Qiaolan. Before she was captured, she had sex with General Yuan. After being captured, she was raped by dozens of men. She didn't even know who Zhao Yunxuan was..."

Zhang Kai said: "I heard about your name in the country of Ji, and I asked someone about your origin. I thought you were the Zhao Yunxuan I knew, so I found General Yuan and planned this matter. Pretending to be his uncle, thinking that he is too young to remember anything!"

"Where did the corpse poison powder come from? Do you know Zhang Tiansheng..."

Zhao Guanren looked up at him, Zhang Kai shook his head and said: "I don't know him! But I know him. General Yuan said that Zhang Tiansheng contributed corpse poison powder. Now it is the promotion of epidemic prevention in the Ji Kingdom. It is the fourth grade. Your epidemic prevention measures in Lantai, It was all learned by that kid!"

"damn it!"

Zhao Guanren scolded: "This white-eyed wolf left his mother and went to a foreign country to become an official. What is Ji Guo's plan now? Do you want peace talks or open it?"

"If you cooperate with them, you will definitely fight. If you don't cooperate, I don't think they want to fight..."

Zhang Kai said solemnly: "Dashun has a million soldiers at the border, and there are three to four million after removing the water. The whole country of Kyrgyzstan is very nervous. They are afraid that they will launch a fierce attack while poisoning, but whoever sends the mission first will lose their momentum. , so they have been watching!"

"Think carefully about what else you have to explain, write it down and give it to me, I will spare your dog's life..."

Zhao Guanren threw down the soldering iron, turned around and walked out of the warehouse. Four thick female guards continued to concoct him. By this time, it was already dark, and all roads in the palace were lit with kerosene lamps. His stomach was growling hungry, and he hurried to the inner house. Walk in the compound.

"Yo~ You guys are going to court, welcome me so grandly..."

Zhao Guanren entered the hall with a smile. Fifteen wives and concubines sat neatly on both sides of the hall according to their respective status. Everyone was dressed in grand court clothes. Dozens of court ladies and maidservants also lined up on both sides, but Hu The mother and daughter are also among them.

"My lord is blessed and safe!"

The women got up and knelt down on the ground in a collective manner. Zhao Guanren sat down on the middle seat inexplicably, and kicked off a leather boot without any image, and asked with Erlang's legs: "You guys?" What the hell, I haven't come back for a few days, and I've made all kinds of moths?"

"My lord! They have forced you to come to the door. Such a big matter cannot allow a woman to decide without authorization..."

Bian Xianglan got up and handed over a brochure, and said: "The seed seekers can be roughly classified into three types, one is the people who follow the trend, purely for the purpose of building relationships, the second is to improve the bloodline, and comes to seek seeds in a serious way, and the third is It was for you to gain enlightenment alone, and they ascended to heaven with chickens and dogs!"

"Ha~"

Zhao Guanren opened the brochure and said with a smile: "You can do it, but you actually wrote me a relationship form. Is this for me to breed according to the form?"

"My lord! This is just a little bit of our women's humble opinion, I'm afraid you will be annoyed after sorting it out..."

Bian Xianglan said solemnly: "Seeking seed is related to many things in the future, such as important officials in the court and century-old nobles. Once you have a blood relationship, you may not care about it personally, but after you die, you must leave a connection for future generations. !"

"Crack~"

Zhao Guanren threw the booklet on the coffee table, looked around at the women and asked, "Sit down, all of you, and answer my question seriously. Don't you think that your role is only to be a reproductive tool for men, without any independent thoughts?" ?”

"..."

The women looked at each other in surprise, and after a long while someone said: "Why should we be independent? God divides men and women. Isn't it just that men support the family and women bear children? Now we have inexhaustible wealth, why do we still have to be demons?" , we are very satisfied!"

"That's right! Having a few more children is my greatest wish for generations to come..."

The women nodded in agreement. Zhao Guanren also knew that he was talking nonsense. This era does not have the conditions to have feminist ideas. They are all very satisfied now. Talking about independence is bullshit. Maybe the only feminist is Concubine Longzi.

"Okay! It's good to be safe and sound, let's not talk about this..."

Zhao Guanren said sternly: "Men are mud, women are water, mud and water blend to nourish each other, and men and women are indispensable ingredients for each other. It's just that my piece of mud is relatively large, and I need to carry a few more buckets of water to nourish it, but this does not mean I'm an animal, and I can bred whoever comes, understand?"

"I just said I can't give it..."

Qian Guipin said: "The white flowers that are begging to be planted lie in a row, and let our master go up to sow. What is the difference between this and sow breeding? It is not an insult to our master. Besides, it is not just to offend people if we give it to one and not to that." Well, if you want me to say that I don’t give any, our family’s food and clothing have not been solved! Hmph~”

"I disagree with the last sentence, but I agree with the previous sentence..."

Zhao Guanren pointed at them and said, "None of them have any brains. I'll match them if they ask for a seed. I'm not an animal, but I have become an animal. I will send them all back tomorrow morning, and allow each family to set up a third-class one in the shrine." Longevity card, did you hear that?"

"I heard it!"

The women agreed in a happy and tender voice. They said it was easy, but in fact no one was willing to borrow it, but Concubine Liu Shu looked forward to it: "Master! We have been in the mansion for a while, do you think we should give it a name?" Points, or mention the grade?"

"Haha~"

Zhao Guanren lit a cigarette and said with a smile: "I know a little about the ranks of the harem, but I really don't understand the ranks of the prince. Anyway, you have already been ranked, so you can report according to the current rank!"

"Sir! It's not fair to line up like this..."

Qian Guibin stood up and said: "The elder sisters of Lantai are of high status, we recognize it by pinching our noses, but some sisters are already married, so we can't let the children suffer too, and there are women who don't understand, don't you Give me an explanation, isn't the family messed up!"

"Who is happy, why didn't you tell me..."

Zhao Guanren looked around in a daze, and Bian Yulei was the first to jump out with a smile, rubbing her belly and laughing: "Surprised or not? My wife has been happy for a month and a half. During this time, you can be lucky with her sister, don't spoil me again." ! Haha~"

"Congratulations, my lord! Double happiness..."

Second Miss Xie stood up with a smile on her face, Qian Guipin hurriedly pulled Concubine Liu Shu over, and said beamingly: "We are also double happiness, do you remember the day in Yulongchi, we had a happy time together, we will give it to you Give birth to a big fat son, hee hee~"
