The Regent's Koi Princess

Go to the other side of Xiliao

In order to get to Western Liao as soon as possible, Yue Niang pawned her pearl hairpin at a pawn shop.

She then hired a carriage and traveled day and night.

After traveling for seven days, she finally arrived at Yancheng, a city on the border of Western Liao known as the Ice Cellar.

Yancheng is about two and a half miles away from Zhao Shizong's military camp.

In order not to arouse Zhao Shizong's suspicion, she had to get off the carriage here and walk the rest of the way.

After all, she had to dress up as an orphan who had traveled a long distance and was helpless.

So she had to think of a way to get close to Zhao Shizong without arousing suspicion.

After all, she was born in Qinyin Pavilion, and what she is best at is dealing with men.

In the past, Yue Niang remained chaste for Jiang Che and she was unwilling to make any kind of transaction with any man.

But things are different now.

If she wants revenge and wants to live well, she must give up her so-called dignity.

So what if she used her body as a bargaining chip? She just needed to live well.

Life is only a few decades long, so why bother about these things?

Anyway, she is no longer a virgin and has a broken body. What does it matter whether she sleeps with one man or thousands of men? As long as her goal is achieved, it's fine.

Yue Niang stood on a strange street, watching people coming and going, and a feeling of desolation passed through her heart.

Yue Niang clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, but she felt no pain at all. There was only a raging fire of revenge in her heart.

She looked up at the last ray of setting sun in the sky. The afterglow was like the unyielding light in her eyes, stubborn and resolute.

Western Liao is located northwest of the Imperial Capital, and the temperature here is much different from that of the Imperial Capital.

Yue Niang, dressed in thin clothes, stood there shivering from hunger and cold.

The wind at the street corner seemed to be bitingly cold, but it could not extinguish the fire of revenge in her heart.

She understood that if she wanted to get close to Zhao Shizong, she had to find out his preferences.

She also knew that the only place where she could get information was in teahouses.

So she strolled along the street, looking around, and finally stopped in front of a teahouse called Moxuan Pavilion.

She first slowly exhaled, clenched her fists, and looked determined. Then she slowly walked into the simple teahouse, scanning the store, and finally landed on an inconspicuous small table in the corner.

There, a few ragged travelers were talking in low voices, and Yue Niang chose this place precisely for its seclusion that was not easily noticed.

She sat down, coughed lightly, and asked the waiter for a pot of the cheapest tea in a low voice. However, her eyes drifted to the window involuntarily, and she silently said in her heart: "Zhao Zhoucheng, Jiang Che, Lin Xi, have you ever thought about how I will appear in front of you one day? By then, I will let you witness with your own eyes how a woman who has been trampled by you will drag you into the abyss step by step."

Holding the rough teacup, he took a sip of the cheap, dark-colored, bitter tea.

Her eyes were fixed on the ragged men, and she pricked up her ears to eavesdrop on their conversation.

Several ragged middle-aged men sat in a corner, their faces deeply scarred by time and wind, but their eyes flickered with indignation at the injustice of the world.

In the dim afterglow, their shadows stretched on the mottled walls, swaying with the ups and downs of the conversation.

"Have you heard? Zhao Shizong has recently forcibly conscripted men from several villages around Yancheng, saying that he wants to expand the military camp. I don't know what he is actually plotting."

A haggard-looking man lowered his voice, his tone full of resentment.

"That's right. My kid has also been arrested. Only the old, weak and sick are left at home. How can we live like this?"

Another man took over the conversation, his eyes slightly red and his voice choked with sobs.

The middle-aged man sitting at the innermost of the square table also had a resolute face, clenched fists, and bulging veins, as if he was about to pour out all his anger in the next second.

His voice was deep and powerful, like thunder in the cold winter wind, penetrating the noise in the teahouse: "That bastard Zhao Shizong issued a notice the other day, saying that in order to 'pacify the soldiers in the barracks', he wanted the local officials here to collect some young unmarried women and send them to the barracks to help those rough men out of their urgent needs.

Such beastly behavior is completely devoid of conscience and should be punished by God! The girls in our Yancheng are all precious children raised by their parents with great difficulty and held in their hands. How can they be abused like this?

These beasts are becoming more and more arrogant, and I don’t know what it will take to bring true peace to the world. "Alas!"

The thin and frail man sitting in the corner was also indignant.

"We really can't figure out why the old emperor sent this beast Zhao Shizong here, even though we have never seen him.

But everyone in the world said that he was extremely ugly, just like a monster. Even with such appearance, he still dreamed of having a beautiful wife and concubines. It was simply unrealistic. A dog like him who was so cruel and unjust should be struck by lightning. "

At this point, he slammed the table, the teacup shook, and a few drops of tea splashed onto the mottled wooden table, as if in silent protest.

The travelers who were originally whispering around all cast their eyes over, some with indignation on their faces, while others lowered their heads in thought, and the atmosphere in the entire teahouse suddenly became solemn.

Yue Niang sat there quietly, pretending to drink tea, but in fact she listened to every word of their conversation.

It seems to be true that like father, like son!

Considering Zhaozhou Cheng's beastly behavior, I think his son would not be much better.

It turned out to be just as I had guessed.

People in the world say that Zhao Shizong is extremely ugly.

Although Zhao Zhoucheng was not a good person, he was not as ugly as Zhao Shizong.

Then why did he give birth to such a terrible son? It shouldn't be like this!

Suddenly Yue Niang hissed.

Suddenly, a bad guess came to my mind: Could it be that Zhao Shizong is not Zhao Zhoucheng's offspring?

When Yue Niang thought of the news about Zhao Shizong, she felt a sudden chill all over her body. Could it be that she really gave herself to that monster for revenge?

……

Inside the resident tent

Zhao Shizong held a bronze mirror and shook his head left and right to look at himself in the mirror. The more he looked, the more handsome he felt.

Oh my god!

How could he be so handsome?

So he looked left and right, trying to find his own shortcomings, but he couldn't find any after searching for a long time.

Counting the days, it has been two days since the announcement was made. Those little beauties should already be on their way to and from the military camp!

When he thought of those beautiful ladies, Zhao Shizong felt his heart beating fast...

Before he could finish his sigh, he suddenly heard a roar from outside the tent: "How dare you, you bastard, break into the military camp without permission."
