Chapter 422 Chapter 422: Work hard to complete KPI (2) [Dragon Boat Festival Health]
"Your Highness, this is the freshly stewed blood bird's nest. You can try it." The maid who was waiting on her walked forward slowly and spoke. Her Royal Highness Wang Ji was pulled back from her deep thoughts and recollections.
She pointed casually and said: "Put it down."
"Wei." The maid carefully put down the blood bird's nest and quietly and slowly exited the tent, leaving Wang Ji alone.
Looking at this bowl of precious blood bird's nest, Wang Ji only felt annoyed in her heart - after Shen Tang left, she carefully reviewed the conversation and various details between the two, and began to feel annoyed that she was too reckless and showed off too early. Ten Ubu defend against this trump card.
But the sad thing is that apart from this trump card, he has no other capital to make a deal with Shen Tang.
At first she wanted to use her lust to seduce the other party, but Sheriff Shen only had the words "too young to understand women's sex" written on his face, leaving Wang Ji willing to do it but nowhere to start. . The other party didn't like her at all.
Except for her looks, she cannot give her the rights and status that a man likes. She is just a mascot.
"...I just hope this person is really reliable..."
Wang Ji used a silver spoon to stir the blood bird's nest - such a precious and rare thing, don't Speaking of her before, even the mistress, who had full authority over the palace's middle-class feed, couldn't taste it, but she had no intention of tasting it now.
Not only was she worried that Shen Tang would be the second "disloyal person" and betray her trust, but she was also worried that Shen Tang would not believe in the authenticity of the map. She was most worried that there was something wrong with the map she gave him! If even Shen Tang is offended, he will become a lamb to be slaughtered, and every day will count down.
Wrapped in thousands of sorrows, Wang Ji sighed again and again.
Yes, you read that right.
She herself cannot guarantee the authenticity of the map on the veil she gave Shen Tang, and its origin is also quite doubtful.
But she was at the end of her rope, like a gambler who had reached a desperate situation without any chips in her hand.
The only option is to make a desperate move.
If you take a gamble, you may be able to make a comeback.
If you don’t gamble, it will be a dead end anyway.
Wang Ji chose a big gamble.
Use the map given by the mysterious person.
He was said to be a mysterious man, but in fact he was a scribe of unknown age. After Wang Ji was consecrated, she went to the Zen monastery to burn incense and pray for blessings and met him by chance. A gray Confucian shirt wrapped around his thin body, and his hair on the temples was gray, as if he had experienced many vicissitudes of life.
This person immediately revealed Wang Ji’s identity as soon as he saw her.
Ask her: [Does Your Highness know that he is "embattled on all sides"? 】
Wang Ji, who was anxious about the future, was slightly touched by the scribe's words, just like a drowning person in the river catching a piece of driftwood, and his eyes burst out with bright light.
She asked for advice out of nowhere: [Criticisms are spreading everywhere, and we are under attack from both sides. Is there any way to survive in this desperate situation? 】
[There is no end to the road. Even when the sun goes down and the road becomes bleak, there is still a glimmer of hope. If you get through it, things will be brighter. ] The scribe curled his lips, wrinkles gathered at the corners of his eyes, and a smile reached his eyes, [looking to see if His Highness has the courage to fight against the odds. 】
Wang Ji said: [I sincerely ask you, sir, to give me some advice. 】
Hearing this, the scribe took out a small package from his sleeve, handed it to Wang Ji's puzzled eyes, and said, "This may be the key to your Highness's desperate situation." Just be sure to keep your eyes open and think carefully before using it, and don’t act too hastily to avoid getting into trouble! 】
After the man said this, a strange wind blew, making Wang Ji unable to open her eyes. When she put down her shielding arm, she was shocked to find that she was no longer where she was. The temple is full of incense, and many official wives like to come here to seek marriage. They come in groups, and they don't seem to notice the sudden appearance of Wang Ji... No, no, she was offering incense in the main hall before she met the scribe!
What is going on?
Just when I thought I was hallucinating in broad daylight, I was shocked to find the mysterious little package in my sleeve.
This thing silently proves that it is not an illusion!
Wang Ji dared to speak out. She pretended that nothing was wrong and returned home surrounded by a group of maids. She avoided everyone and checked the package. She never dreamed that it was a map.
Looking at the labels and terrain, it turns out to be Shiwu!
She broke out in a cold sweat.
He hurriedly wrote down the map, destroyed it as soon as possible, and carefully disposed of the residue after burning.
After that, he used some methods learned in the inner house to engrave the maps on different handkerchiefs.
Usually, there is no fault with the veil. You can only smell the special fragrance of the powder. Only when it is roasted will the real content be revealed. This skill is a unique skill that she developed by studying ancient fragrances. Through it, she helps "talents and beauties" secretly communicate with each other, collect hard work fees, and improve the quality of life in the back house.
Wang Ji is puzzled. How can this map bring her a glimmer of hope? Whether she is offering it to the king of the country, Zheng Qiao, or betraying the scribe holding Shiwu's thigh, her little chess piece will end up dead!
Until I learned about the feud between Longwu County and Shiwu.
Maybe...the opportunity has come!
Wang Ji’s first target is actually not Shen Tang but the Yonggu Pass guard general. The latter controls the military power and has a bloody feud with Shiwu. There is no reason why he should not be tempted by this map! But when you really get into the role of Wang Ji, you realize how restrictive she is.
The guard chased them away like flies.
Wang Ji had no time to take action.
She could only do the next best thing, observing the Longwu County Sheriff, asking around and around in secret, and calling and testing him three times in public, which finally made her determined to seek cooperation. As for the authenticity of the map, it will naturally not be exposed.
Even if it is false...
It must be true before you can escape!
By the time Wang Ji came to her senses, the blood bird's nest had already cooled down.
Looking forward to when Shen Tang will reply.
The reply didn't come, but an attack came!
The moon is dark and the wind is high, which is a good opportunity for a sneak attack.
At this time, everyone was tired, and since there were only a few days away from King Shiwu, the patrol guards in the camp became more relaxed. Apart from the beeping and popping sounds of the campfire, there was only the sound of snoring coming and going in each tent, and it was almost midnight in the blink of an eye.
It is the time when sleep is deepest.
Among the many tents, only Shen Tang's side still had light, and there was the faint clatter of chess pieces falling onto the board.
Jiang Sheng and Gu Chi were fighting to the death.
The lord Shen Tang was sitting next to him holding a kettle, his head a little bit, and his upper and lower eyelids were almost glued together. Finally, her head hit the edge of the chessboard, shaking her awake. He stared in confusion: "It's already midnight, are you still here?"
Gu Chi teased: "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."
Jiang Sheng frowned and looked at the situation on the chessboard. .
The folds between the eyebrows can trap flies.
He said: "It's been three days in a row."
Gu Chi said with a smile: "If you want to catch a big fish, you always need some patience. Don't be in a hurry, maybe tonight."
Most sneak attacks are a joke to Gu Chi.
Because the enemy will be exposed actively.
Shen Tang yawned loudly and said sleepily: "...I don't mind staying up late, but can you guys stop playing chess? This game is more effective than hypnosis..."
Believing Gu Chi's lies, she stayed up for three days.
Afraid of missing the opportunity to grab someone’s head.
Coincidentally, these two also like to play chess. In a relatively quiet environment, the sound of the chess pieces falling is comparable to hypnosis.
Gu Chi said: "Wait a little longer."
Shen Tang said helplessly: "The wolf is coming!"
Gu Chi’s credibility is at its lowest point!
The intention was to complain about Gu Chi, but in the end——
He made a snap and the chess piece fell down.
Said solemnly: "Lord, this time the wolf is really here."
Abnormal light lit up outside the camp.
