After being mistaken for a fellow by Long Aotian
Chapter 139 "Hongxue."
"I know why you came to me."
The silver knife was placed on the table, and King Kang's prisoner looked down.
He heard a voice from the opposite side: "I took your knife. Now—"
The person opposite pushed the knife to him, and he saw his white and slender fingers on the handle: "It's returned to its original owner."
The prisoner stared at the knife, and after a long time, he said shyly, "Thank you Master Zhou... for your kindness."
He didn't say what was hidden in it, but both of them knew it well.If Zhou Xun had exposed the fact that he was holding a knife at the banquet, even if he was a "slave" of King Kang in name, he would have died in the end.
"You don't have to thank me. If you want to thank me, just thank yourself. You are not planning to use this knife to assassinate the emperor."
The prisoner took the knife.He said: "If Kang Wang hadn't been so busy with Zhou Cai's affairs these days, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to sneak out of the post."
"It's Zhou Cai again?" Zhou Xun heard this sentence, and there was already a kind of unsurprising feeling in his heart, "It's hard for him to get involved with King Kang again—I heard that when he was in Yunzhou He made meritorious service and leaked the defense documents to the Northern Wei Dynasty, this matter..."
"Of course this is true. Of course, in Kang Wang's eyes, Zhou Cai is his innocent and lovely friend. Zhou Cai is so just right. He also prevents him from swinging his whip in the street, but he will say, 'If you are really angry, hit me Right', when he was flirting, he would blushed and whispered 'swearing' at him—who wouldn't think such a 'friend' was special? Especially in his opinion, Zhou Cai was so unscrupulous afterwards Show him your study, if you were King Kang, you would feel that it was your fault that he went to jail." The prisoner said with a sneer, "Zhou Cai is a smart man."
"I don't think he's smart. If he was really smart, he wouldn't be in prison now." Zhou Xun smiled faintly.
"I know many things about King Kang." The prisoner suddenly said, he stared at Zhou Xun, and unconsciously straightened his back, "Things in King Kang's mansion, Northern Wei, the capital, General Li..."
He spoke faster and faster: "There are still many, many things, I know... Mr. Zhou and the emperor have a very close relationship, right? At today's banquet, I saw the emperor looking at Mr. Zhou frequently. I know a lot of things, a lot of information , now the Northern Wei Dynasty is disrespectful to Jing Guo, I am useful, I can help..."
"Your sister is still with General Li, right?" Zhou Xun said abruptly.
"My sister...she only tells me to endure, yes, if I can't bear it now, how can I live a peaceful life? But I am not willing to be just a plaything. Every time I commit myself to him, I just want to vomit "The prisoner sneered, "Is there any difference between living like this all my life and dying? I can't convince myself, I can't convince myself that I was born to live like this..."
Zhou Xun looked at him without speaking.
He looked at him and suddenly thought of someone else, another crazy prisoner.That person also had a similar encounter with Prince Xinyue, but before he stabbed the knife into the emperor's body, he was lucky enough to meet another person from another world.
"This knife of yours should really be inserted into the neck of the enemy." Zhou Xun said slowly, "But it shouldn't be now. Have you ever considered, Death Run? By the way, what's your name?"
When he heard the word "name", the prisoner's dim eyes lit up.
"Hongxue." He said, "My name is Hongxue."
……
After only half an hour, the two broke up in "Revlon".
Bai Yuxing got down from the tree, thinking that there was nothing else to see, so he walked back.Zhou Xun glanced at his direction from a distance, but said nothing.
But he vaguely remembered that when he came in just now, he also saw Lu Xiandao going out from here.Is there any connection between these two people?
Zhou Xun thought for a while, and then laughed a little dumbfounded.He knew that Bai Yuxing should like Zhang Lingsu, and Zhang Lingsu was going to get married in the near future.The emperor took the invitation card back then and told him that Xiao Wu was very agile and had a lot of hair, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice was full of praise for him.Since Xiao Wu is so quick at things and has a lot of hair, it's not a problem to call him Xiao Wu all the time. Why don't he give Xiao Wu the surname Mao, add the word "Li", and call him Mao Li Xiao Wu from now on.
From this point of view, the two probably knew that Zhang Lingsu was going to get married, and they were here to drink away their worries.However, when Lu Xiandao went out, his complexion was obviously not very good, and he seemed a little too cold.
Zhou Xun didn't think about it anymore.
He walked for a while beside Yanshui, but his footsteps gradually slowed down.
He heard a series of footsteps behind him, following him all the time!
Who is following him?Is it his enemy, or someone else with other plans?
Zhou Xun walked slowly, then suddenly quickened his pace!
He knew that there was an alley in front of him. Through the alley, he could leave this place and walk into the wide avenue.But before he reached the alley, he heard another voice from the slanting stab: "Master Zhou."
The voice was weird, but familiar.Zhou Xun turned his head, and what he saw was King Kang!
It's really bad luck today, there is a group of people behind, and another group of people in front of them, and they don't know what their plans are.Zhou Xun could only give a wry smile, looked at King Kang and said, "His Royal Highness Kang Wang really joined in the fun today."
Kang Wang looked at him coldly, and after a long time, he smiled: "You are the one who harmed Cai'er? Forget it, let's not mention the past, this king knows that now you are the jewel in the palm of Emperor Jingguo."
As he said that, he stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to pinch Zhou Xun's chin affectionately. After being avoided by Zhou Xun, he sneered and said, "But I don't know if the emperor of Jingguo will do this with me." A deal, use you to exchange for Cai'er in prison?"
"It turns out that His Royal Highness Kang Wang is planning to kidnap me, but there is one thing that is not coincidental." Zhou Xun said.
"One point? Which point?" Kang Wang sneered.
"Perhaps Kang Wang should line up." Zhou Xun said, "Maybe it's not just Kang Wang's people who want to kidnap me here today.
"Zhou Xun, why are you here?"
Another voice sounded from the side. Zhou Xun turned his head and saw Li Miao and Xie Zhengqing.Li Miao was unshaven and covered in travel dust. He seemed to have just returned from outside the city.Xie Zhengqing looked at him with a surprised expression.
A word popped up in Zhou Xun's mind somehow.
In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, those who followed Zhou Xun in secret retreated first, and then King Kang who was gnashing his teeth.Kang Wang still wanted to say something harsh, but Zhou Xun had already said: "Now Zhou Cai is a real crime. It is reasonable to serve as a labor slave, but if Kang Wang really wants him, he can mention it to the emperor, but it will cost some money. "
"How much does it cost?"
Zhou Xun made a "ten": "10 taels."
Kang Wang: ...
"10 taels??"
"Why, Kang Wang is willing to spend 1 taels to buy a slave and buy back his 'confidant', but he can't afford 10 taels?" Zhou Xun said, "The so-called 10 taels is just a little bit of meat to Kang Wang. It just hurts. Could it be that your Zhou Cai is no better than a slave?"
"That slave... Cai'er is no match for him." King Kang's face darkened, "He's just a slave, yes, he's just a slave."
Speaking of this, Kang Wang thought of the slave again.In the past few days, he has been running around for Zhou Cai outside. I don't know what Xiaoxue is doing in the post house now?
Thinking of this, another evil fire was born in his heart.Presumably Xiaoxue must be very happy that he is not here these days.
Zhou Xun sneered when he heard this.He didn't bother to distinguish whether the words in Kang Wang's mouth were convincing others or himself.In short, he has nothing to say to these people who can't speak human words or do human affairs.
"Kang Kang should go back and prepare 10 taels of silver." Zhou Xun said, he remembered a few words the emperor said, and put this into practice, "It will be free of charge when the time comes."
He said this sentence with a blank face, Kang Wang was immersed in anger, and walked away.
Kang Wang left, so only Li Miao and Xie Zhengqing were left behind.Li Miao looked at this scene and asked him, "What is free shipping?"
Zhou Xun didn't even lift his eyelids: "It's just to let Zhou Cai go in exile, and there is no need for Kang Wang to pick him up in a special car."
Li Miao: ...
After a long time, Xie Zhengqing sighed and said, "Oh, I still remember the first time I saw Zhou Cai. At that time, he was still a high-spirited young man, but now he is with the Northern Wei Dynasty..."
In Xie Zhengqing's eyes, everyone is good, Zhou Xun is good, and Zhou Cai is also good.
"That's because we were deceived by him because we knew people and faces but didn't know our hearts. As a native of Jingguo, he was in collusion with the Northern Wei Dynasty, so he is bad in his bones." Li Miao spat.
Zhou Xun didn't expect him to react so strongly.Li Miao then said: "What's the matter, the title of our Duke Protector's Mansion is not for nothing. My grandfather was a great hero in the war between Jingguo and the Northern Wei Dynasty decades ago."
Having said this, Li Miao's chatterbox opened.He led several people to sit down in Revlon again.Xie Zhengqing sat here with an absent-minded expression, but Li Miao was very interested in talking.He generously told the entire family history of the Li family, generations of heroes and generations of loyalty, and then he said that his dream was also to become a loyalty, and his grandfather taught him the same way.
"There's just one thing I really don't understand." Li Miao said dissatisfiedly after drinking some wine, "My grandfather always said that his younger brother would be moved into the ancestral grave. It was mentioned a few years ago, but it was brought up again this year. He also said that he will not be moved in. When he is gone, no one will remember him at all. I really don’t understand the meaning of being moved into the ancestral grave for a traitor? In the past few decades, it is clear that my grandfather hated him more, The family is not allowed to mention him, and it is regarded as a disgrace to the family. But in the past few years, for some reason, he always talks about moving him into the ancestral grave."
"Maybe it's because when people get old, they always miss old love." Xie Zhengqing comforted him.
Li Miao shook his head: "That man is my grandfather's younger brother. He is a son of a prostitute in name, but he is actually a daughter of a prostitute. It is not good at all. The Duke of the Protectorate raised him, but in the end he avenged his favor and stole the war opportunity. The picture was sent to the Northern Wei Dynasty, fortunately it was stopped in time. If it wasn't because of my grandfather's military exploits, Gaozong would have pursued it to the Duke Huguo's Mansion. Moreover, he and my grandfather have been at odds since childhood, and my grandfather hated it the most because of this Bastard, how could my grandfather be soft-hearted towards him?"
The silver knife was placed on the table, and King Kang's prisoner looked down.
He heard a voice from the opposite side: "I took your knife. Now—"
The person opposite pushed the knife to him, and he saw his white and slender fingers on the handle: "It's returned to its original owner."
