Who among the gangsters wants to fall in love?

Chapter 43: Inside the Palace
After hearing this, Luo Xiangzhu's eyes widened a little, probably because she didn't expect Zhao Wumian to describe her death as so commonplace.

She wrote: [Are you not afraid of death? ]

"It doesn't matter whether I'm afraid of death or not. As long as Miss Luo can make the Thousand-Li Horse appear in Taiyuan City, I will definitely return the bellyband and antidote to you. This is what's important to you."

[Are you the chivalrous knight who robbed Bi Bo? Do you want to kill Uncle Six? ]

Zhao Wumian shook his head slightly, then nodded, "Prince Jin is responsible for guarding the border. Killing him will definitely cause chaos in the army. He cannot be killed... I just want his horse. You don't have to worry about it."

Luo Xiangzhu was silent for a while, then quickly wrote a few words, holding up the rice paper with her two small hands, almost in front of Zhao Wumian's face, [You are very patient to watch me write, speak softly, and also give me clothes to wear. I think you are not a bad person, why do you bully me like this? ]

Zhao Wumian began to think that the daughter of the King of Yan was stupid and foolish... Zhao Wumian was holding her hostage, so how could this guy dare to be so rude? Did he look so easy to talk to?

Silly girl, he shook his head secretly in his heart and said:
"Whether I am a bad person or not is not decided by me. Often I am forced to make the decision by the current situation. I can only do my best not to violate my principles... Just like now, I don't want to bully you unless it is necessary."

[You still know that you are bullying me? ] After writing, Luo Xiangzhu glared at Zhao Wumian angrily again.

Zhao Wumian didn't reply.

Not long after, they heard a knock on the door. It was the maid who shouted, "Miss, the prince received the letter and said that it was a good idea. He accepted it and will let him leave the house the day after tomorrow."

As soon as the words came out, the two people in the room breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

As long as the plan is successful, it’s fine if it can be postponed for a day.

Zhao Wumian stood up, pointed at the tub, and whispered, "I didn't take the girl's bellyband. I hid it under the tub. Also, your maid was knocked unconscious by me, but she's fine. Explain it to me later, girl."

Luo Xiangzhu widened his eyes, took out his usual booklet, turned to a page, [You lied to me? ]

"I'm not a monk from Xiaoxitian, so why can't I lie to you? But when you go to Wujiu Temple at night the day after tomorrow, someone will definitely bring you the antidote. That's true...but the premise is that you can't let anyone know that I was here tonight." Zhao Wumian shook his head slightly and was about to leave.

Luo Xiangzhu held him back, no longer showing the panic she had just seen. She wrote down the last question with a pen, [Is Wang Changzhi your name?]

"No, if we can meet again in the future, I will tell you my real name... This is the truth."

Luo Xiangzhu was angry when he heard this, "Who wants to know your name?"

But he didn't dare to write it down, for fear that Zhao Wumian would get furious after knowing it, and then "take advantage of the situation".

Zhao Wumian came to the door and knocked.

After the maid finished her reply, she saw that the young lady was still not opening the door, so she did not dare to push the door open or leave without permission. When she was about to speak again, she heard a knock on the door. She immediately understood what the young lady meant, so she pushed the door open and walked in... Zhao Wumian hid behind the door, and took advantage of the opportunity when the maid opened the door to rush out of the house from her blind spot.

"Miss, what do you want me to do for you?" The maid looked at Luo Xiangzhu with a puzzled look on her face.

Luo Xiangzhu shook his head slightly, picked up the pen and wrote, [I miss my mother and can't fall asleep... Please stay with me for a while. ]

"Yes."

That night, the lights in the King of Jin's house were brightly lit.

Prince Jin was sitting at his desk, reading the border battle report. As a powerful prince guarding the border, he naturally couldn't go fishing all day, and the people he needed to deal with couldn't be just Luo Chaoyan and Zhao Wumian... He was busy.

A rough wooden wine gourd was placed beside him, and King Jin would pick it up from time to time to take a sip of sake.

A man of his status should not use such a crude wine gourd... But the deceased Princess Jin was once a chivalrous woman, and this is a relic she left behind.

bang bang-

There was a knock on the door, and a man in black pushed the door open and handed over a piece of rice paper, "Prince, this is a letter from Xiangzhu."

The man in black was named Qin Shuzi, from Puzhou. He was very wealthy and was determined to pass the imperial examinations when he was young. However, he did not have the talent and failed. He then went to Wugong Mountain to practice Taoism and worked as a Taoist priest for twenty years. One year when he went down the mountain to visit his relatives, he found out that his parents had been killed by a group of lawless gangsters.

He wanted to take revenge, and after searching for a long time, he found out that the gang had been beheaded by the ghost leader Liu Yuezhi a long time ago. So he returned to secular life and came to Prince Jin's Mansion to protect Prince Jin personally to repay the favor... It has been almost ten years now.

"Oh?" King Jin raised his eyebrows slightly, put down the battle report, took the rice paper, and lowered his eyes to read the letter.

Prince of Jin was the sixth child in the family. When Emperor Taizu Gao was away fighting, he was still young and had nothing to do at home all day.

The Prince of Yan was the third oldest, and at a young age he followed Emperor Taizu Gao to the battlefield. Unfortunately, he was assassinated during a surprise operation. Although he did not die, he was injured. He returned home to take care of his younger brothers and sisters. Therefore, the Prince of Jin and the Prince of Yan had a good personal relationship. If Luo Chaoyan was the daughter of the Prince of Yan, the Prince of Jin would definitely not have any idea about the throne.

Thanks to this, the Prince of Jin also took good care of his mute niece... For example, the prince should visit the princes in various places before the end of the year, and the princes also followed it flexibly. For example, the Prince of Jin would only visit the Prince of Yan every year.

But the King of Qin, that is, Luo Chaoyan's father, Emperor Jingzheng, was different... The matter of Princess Jin was more complicated, but in the final analysis, it was because Emperor Jingzheng promised the King of Jin that he would protect Princess Jin's family, but he failed to do so. As a result, Princess Jin's family was uprooted by the court at that time, and no one was left alive. Princess Jin became depressed and died of illness soon after.

Prince Jin read the letter quietly. After a while, he sighed and said, "It would be nice if I had a daughter. She would be so warm."

Qin Shuzi remained silent, because once he talked about his daughter, he would inevitably mention the Princess of Jin.

The King of Jin handed the letter to Qin Shuzi and asked, "What do you think?"

Qin Shuzi took it and glanced at it, then he hesitated for a moment before nodding slowly.

"It's a good idea, but most of those thieves don't have the guts to steal the horses. But the war on the front is tense, so we can hold a martial arts competition and give out more rewards to those martial artists to go to the border to resist the Rong tribe. Xiang Zhu is right. People in the martial arts world have been around for a lifetime, and all they want is fame and fortune. As long as it is stated from the beginning that those on the list need to go to the front, then if the contestants pretend to comply and refuse to go to the battlefield, they will definitely be ridiculed by the whole martial arts world, and few people will do that."

King Jin chuckled, "Not bad, just a few unruly scoundrels, I don't care... Let's lure the snake out of its hole, even if it fails, it doesn't matter, the priority right now is the battle on the front line."

"Then let the horses go tomorrow?" Qin Shuzi suggested, "Let the news spread first, and then let the horses go around the city for three days, which can also build momentum for us... In three days, if those Jianghu people don't make a move, then even if we tempt them for another month, they won't have the courage to do so."

King Jin nodded slightly, his voice flat: "The day after tomorrow, I will return to Taiyuan the day after tomorrow, and let him handle this matter."

After that, King Jin looked at the letter again, was silent for a moment, and then sighed, "It's a pity that King Yan was secretly injured back then. If not, Xiang Zhu probably wouldn't be a mute."

Qin Shuzi hesitated for a moment before asking, "Is the whereabouts of the person who assassinated the King of Yan still unknown?"

King Jin shook his head slightly and waved his hand gently.

Qin Shuzi nodded, turned and left.
