Senior brother, how can you fall for such a beautiful junior brother!

After inviting the two in, Yun Huizhou and Lian Li told them what happened in the restaurant without them asking any questions.

Beijing.

With the help of General Lei's men, Zhao Honglan finally no longer had to be a beggar and could change into neat new clothes.

However, Zhao Honglan did not leave immediately, because what he had found out before was obviously related to people in the court.

Although his goal was for the martial arts world, General Lei's goal was for the imperial court.

But both sides still have the same goal.

That is for the people of the world.

They, the Wulin Alliance, maintain order for the sake of the people.

General Lei guards the border and keeps an eye on the current court, also for the sake of the people.

So on the third day after contacting General Lei's men, he proposed that he could help General Lei, and General Lei also needed to provide him with convenience.

So, he had the following conversation with General Lei's men.

"Miss Li, do you have a way to send me directly to His Majesty?" Zhao Honglan asked.

The girl surnamed Li smiled and said, "Of course you can."

Then she gave Zhao Honglan three options.

As we all know, it is difficult for a normal adult man to stay in the palace for a long time, unless you are the emperor or the prince.

So Miss Li gave three methods: one is to become a eunuch, and the other is to become the empress dowager's lover.

Zhao Honglan didn't even hear the third method and he just stood up.

"I choose the third option." Zhao Honglan said decisively.

After he said that, he felt that he was too reckless. What if the third method was even more outrageous?

But if you think about it, no matter how outrageous it is, it can't be more outrageous than the above two.

Looking at the smiling woman in front of him, Zhao Honglan missed Qu Tingquan particularly for a moment.

He has been out of contact for so long, Tingquan, his parents, and his sister must be so worried about him.

But he didn't want them to come here to find him at all. For those of them who were involved in these things, the waters in the capital were too complicated.

There are so many hidden meanings behind what everyone says here.

Zhao Honglan felt that he had used his brain more during this period than in the past twenty years.

At one point he was even afraid of being talked to by others. This was very strange for him, as he had always been cheerful and cheerful since childhood and had never been shy in socializing with others.

Seeing that Zhao Honglan was distracted, the woman in front of him raised her hand and waved it, saying, "Come back to your senses. Don't think about Miss Qu anymore. Do you want to hear about the third option? If not, I will assume that you are ready to choose between the first two options."

Zhao Honglan quickly came back to her senses and said, "Young lady, please speak."

Miss Li said, "The third option is to send you to be a guard. After you get off duty, you can change your clothes and find an excuse to act alone and sneak into the palace. We will provide cover for you. You can sneak in after you get off duty and come out the next morning when your duty is over."

Zhao Honglan: "...Excuse me, Miss, you want me to sneak into the palace at night after finishing my day's duty, and then change into my duty clothes in the morning, seamlessly continue my duty for another day, and then come back at the end of the next day?"

Zhao Honglan had heard Lian Li talk about seamless connection. He had only thought it was interesting before, but now he found it extremely suitable to be used at this time.

Miss Li replied: "Yes."

Zhao Honglan: "...??? That means I need to work for two days and one night without rest, and be...working the whole time?"

Miss Li: “Yes.”

Zhao Honglan turned around...but didn't leave.

Miss Li quickly comforted him when she saw him like this, and then flattered him, "I know that Master Zhao is now a top-notch master. Unless there is a very difficult fight, a short two days and one night will definitely not be a problem for Master Zhao."

Zhao Honglan: "Miss Li, don't think that you can cover up the fact that you are exploiting me just because you are praising me."

Miss Li said quickly: "But Mr. Zhao, after two days and one night, we can make it so that you can rest well at home for the next few days. You can rest as long as you want, we can make it happen."

Zhao Honglan had an indescribable expression. For some reason, he thought of what Lian Li once said: working four hours a day and only working five days out of seven is the normal working time.

Although there were some unfamiliar words in these words, he could still understand the meaning of Lian Li's words.

Although they were just chatting and joking around at the time, Zhao Honglan really remembered it and told his mother about it as a funny story when he got home.

After his mother thought about it, she actually adopted part of it.

At this moment, after hearing what Miss Li said, Zhao Honglan had only one thought in his mind.

After working continuously for two days and one night, that is, eighteen hours, how many days of rest should you take?

But this thought only flashed through his mind, and he knew that now was not the time to worry about it...

Well, he really didn't care until he heard what Lian Li said.

After putting aside all the messy thoughts, Zhao Honglan accepted Miss Li's proposal.

So three days later, Miss Li had everything ready, and Zhao Honglan changed his face again.

This face looks more handsome than the one when he was dressed as a beggar, but it still cannot compare to his original appearance.

He was already on the list of handsome men. If you ignore the ranking and only look at his appearance, he is on par with Yun Huizhou.

Although both of them are equally good-looking, their styles are completely different.

Yun Huizhou has a sharp and casual handsomeness, while Zhao Honglan is the kind of gentleman who is dignified and slightly abstinent.

At this time, he was wearing armor and holding a spear in his hand, standing at the gate of the imperial city.

This is his fifth day on the job.

Not far away, another group of people came over. Zhao Honglan seemed to be very familiar with them. After smiling and exchanging a few words about the situations he encountered while on duty, the handover was completed.

Those who have finished their shift will change their clothes and then go home.

After changing clothes in the side hall, Zhao Honglan and his team members walked towards the city gate.

But when he was still fifty meters away from the city gate, he suddenly felt around in panic, as if he was looking for something.

Seeing him like this, his companion pulled him to a secluded path and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with you? Why don't you hurry up and stand on the road? Aren't you afraid that a noble person will pass by and bump into you?"

Zhao Honglan made an embarrassed expression and said, "I... the jade pendant seems to have fallen in the side hall."

His companion advised, "Jade pendant? Is it an important jade pendant? If it's not important, you should wait until tomorrow when you are on duty to get it."
