Being an emperor is not something he can do, so he can only rely on his connections.

When he slipped out of Jiuer's house, Li Can and Ma Tianmao were waiting quietly at the door.

Li Can looked up at the sky and said anxiously, "Brother Zhang, it's getting late. I have to hurry back to the Dao Mansion!"

Ma Tianmao's face was filled with curiosity. He stretched his neck to look inside the door and asked in confusion, "What's going on in this room? Why is it so lively?"

Zhang Jingwei replied perfunctorily, "It's nothing, nothing!" He bowed hurriedly and said goodbye hastily, "Brother Li, goodbye. Come visit us often when you have time!" Before he finished speaking, he ran away without a trace.

Zhang Jingwei had just run a short distance when he suddenly saw Jiuer and the princess, quickly chasing out from the door!

The two women asked almost in unison, "Where is Zhang Jingwei?"

Ma Tianmao quickly raised his hand and pointed in the direction Zhang Jingwei fled, and replied: "He ran away from this side. He must be anxious to go home!"

The princess and Jiuer didn't hesitate at all and immediately ran in that direction!

……

In front of the Marquis's Mansion, two gatekeepers, one old and one young, were drowsy from the heat until a figure "whoosh" passed by them and they were awakened.

The old guard shouted with a look of vigilance, "Who are you? How dare you act so rashly here? Don't you know where we are?" However, when he took a closer look and saw that it was actually my son-in-law, his expression instantly turned into astonishment, and he stammered, "So...it's my son-in-law! You really scared me!"

At this time, Zhang Jingwei looked panicked and shouted for help: "Help! There are evil people who want to take my life, stop them quickly!" He crawled forward in panic.

The young guard standing by looked at Zhang Jingwei in such a state of disarray and could not help but frown. He muttered softly, "Why is this son-in-law so panicked? Is there something wrong with his brain?"

Hearing this, the old guard quickly came over to the young guard and said in a low voice, "You newcomer, you don't know this, but our son-in-law once suffered a great disaster. He drank poison, and everyone thought he was dead. Unexpectedly, he died overnight and crawled out of the coffin alive..." At this point, the old guard paused briefly, as if recalling the scene, and then continued, "Well, some of the details may have been exaggerated, but the general situation is true."

The young guard's eyes widened upon hearing this, and he exclaimed in disbelief, "Oh my God! I always thought this kind of thing only happened in storytellers' stories, but I never thought it would actually happen in our house!"

The fact that Zhang Jingwei committed suicide by taking poison and lost his memory after coming back to life had actually been known to everyone in Yunzhou for a long time, but no one had confirmed it.

After a long while, the princess and Jiu'er finally arrived at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion. They were running all the way, panting and flushed, with beads of sweat on their foreheads.

At this moment, the majestic old guard at the door of the Marquis' Mansion shouted loudly: "Stop! Who are you two? This is the important place of the Marquis' Mansion. How can we allow you to break in so recklessly!" His voice was full of energy and revealed an unquestionable momentum.

When Jiu'er heard this, she was immediately furious. She pointed at the old guard and shouted, "Hand over Zhang Jingwei!"

The princess beside her blushed with rage, and cursed coquettishly, "This abominable scoundrel! How dare he use such sweet words to deceive this princess? This is simply too much!"

Seeing this, Zhou Peng, who was standing behind the princess, stepped forward and said, "Princess, please calm down. Please let me handle this matter!" Then, he turned to look at the old guard and politely bowed, saying, "Big brother, please go in and tell them that a distinguished guest from Jinzhou is here to visit!"

However, the old guard remained unmoved and replied with a stern face: "The Marquis is busy with military and national affairs and is not at home at the moment. Besides, my young lady has gone out and is not at home either. As for my son-in-law, he has ordered that he will not see anyone at the moment!" After that, he no longer paid attention to the crowd and stood guard at the door by himself.

Zhou Peng's face became even uglier when he heard that. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, you guys are really ungrateful! Even if I have to force my way in today, I will find Zhang Jingwei!" As he said that, he suddenly drew out the long knife from his waist and pointed it at the old guard.

The old guard was so frightened that his face turned pale and his whole body trembled. He immediately kowtowed and said, "My son-in-law lives in the East Courtyard. Please spare my life!"

"Hmph!" Zhou Peng put away his sword, snorted coldly, and then rushed into the marquis' mansion.

Looking at the three figures walking away, the guard's face showed a deep look of contempt. He glared at the old man fiercely and muttered, "Humph, you're selling out your master just like that? You really know the situation!"

The old guard, however, appeared quite calm. He gently patted the young guard on the shoulder and said, "Kid, as the saying goes, a good man never suffers a loss in front of him. Do you think that tall guy is a match for us? I'll keep an eye on him for you while you go and inform the young lady. Oh, and there's one more important thing. Change your pants while you're at it!"

Hearing this, the young guard was stunned at first, then he looked down and saw that his crotch was indeed wet. He had not noticed that he had peed himself out of fear.

……

Zhang Jingwei ran into the east courtyard, and when he looked back, he suddenly felt as if he had hit a wall.

Zhang Jingwei fell to the ground and cried out in pain: "Ouch!"

What you see before you is not a strong man, but a strong man.

The strong man quickly stepped forward to help him up and asked, "Master! Are you okay?"

Zhang Jingwei thought the man looked familiar, so he asked, "Who are you?"

The strong man patted his chest and said, "I'm Dong Dazhuang! Today I'm moving furniture for Master Liu!"

Zhang Jingwei suddenly remembered that he was the one who moved his water clock, and he was also the brave man who protected him when he was beaten by his own security guards that night!

I'd never looked at this guy closely before. He was 1 meters tall, muscular, and incredibly strong! He looked like a log, but with uneven shoulders and a slightly hunched back, like an occupational ailment from lifting heavy objects for so long.

Just as he was gazing at the warrior before him, he heard the princess's curses from behind him. "Zhang Jingwei! You cowardly bastard!"
