Chapter 435 Gambling!
This night, Zheng Fan did not sleep very well. In his dream, he repeatedly abducted the princess in great glory, or was shot into a hornet's nest by the Chu archers that day.
A large part of the reason for having such a dream is that Uncle Zheng himself is uneasy.
In the past, when I was marching and fighting, charging into battle, I didn’t think so much. This time, I actually asked for it.
I am not willing to go back like this with a tool-man princess,
And he was afraid that if he put the princess back, he would slap himself or it might lead to a more tragic ending.
In the final analysis,
it still comes down to one word - greed.
Now, the most fundamental contradiction between Uncle Zheng’s growing ambition and his own principle of survival has become the most fundamental contradiction.
Finally,
It's dawn.
Breakfast is very simple, just make do with some snacks from last night.
Zheng Fan saw the bat on A Ming's shoulder, squinted his eyes and asked:
"New pet?"
The bat saw A Ming Just like a zombie would call daddy almost instinctively when seeing Liang Cheng.
A Ming glanced at the black bat and
said:
"I cut off the beard of someone else's adopted one. It should be here to find the princess. There should be something special about the Chu royal family. The mark."
"It told you?"
"Yes."
"Why didn't you report last night?"
"Because my subordinates thought it was meaningless."
Zheng Fan nodded and agreed with this statement, and did not think that A Ming was slacking off.
Because now I can and only choose to hide. You must know that outside the Xiayong County, there are tens of thousands of Chu State armed forces searching for the princess.
If exposed, there is basically no chance of survival.
"Your Majesty, are you planning to put this princess back?" A Ming asked.
“I have this idea.”
“It’s a really big gamble.”
“Still hesitating, I can’t get the chips.”
A Ming looked at Zheng Fan and said: "My lord, do you want to hear the truth from your subordinates?"
"Say."
"Anyway, just for fun."
"Ah Ming, have you ever thought about a question?"
"What question? ?”
“The same knife is a completely different concept for you and others.”
"It seems so, but I think..."
A Ming was silent.
Zheng Fan raised his head in surprise and looked at A Ming: "Why don't you say anything anymore?"
A Ming took a breath, looked at the bright sunshine outside, and said, "Let's There is no need to worry too much about this. My subordinates have always believed that saving lives is for better fun and experiencing life, not for the sake of saving lives. Moreover, the balance in this matter does not depend on whether one's life can be saved. Even if we release the princess, if we are careful and make better arrangements, with the help of the Fan family, it will not be very difficult to return the same way.
It is nothing more than a loss, and a loss is a loss. Well, my lord, think about it. It would be very interesting if it were really done. The regent of Chu would be the emperor of Chu and your eldest brother.”
Zheng Fan pondered.
A Ming opened the bottle of wine and took a sip of wine.
Zheng Fan stood up, walked to the pond, started to take off his clothes, then walked into the pond and started taking a bath and continued to rub the mud.
The previous caution now seems to be indeed necessary. No matter what, the first priority is not to involve the Fan family.
After taking a shower, he came out and changed his clothes. Zheng Fan asked his fourth mother to pack a large box of... Wowotou for him.
Siniang made this specially in the morning because the ingredients from Fan's house were too fine, so she could eat them directly from Fan's house for fear of being tasted.
In addition,
Zheng Fan also carried a bucket with a floating spittoon and straw paper inside.
A Ming, who came out, saw this scene and said with emotion: "You are so attentive."
Zheng Fan nodded and said: "So when I watched ancient costume movies before, I saw the male and female protagonists being arrested. I was imprisoned for many days and there was not even a toilet inside, so I thought it was ridiculous.”
"Tsk, tsk." A Ming smacked his mouth.
Zheng Fan carried the things and walked towards the rockery. At the same time, he said: "A Ming, you were right just now. I will make a decision when I come up from below."
" "Okay, my lord."
A Ming bent down, moved his arms back, and saluted.
When I stood up, I was stunned for a moment, and my heart seemed to be shaking.
"Oh my God, no."
A Ming looked at the black bat hanging on his shoulder with a smile, reached out and flicked its little head.
Just now, A Ming felt that he was about to advance, just a little bit short.
Maybe, when the Lord comes up again to make a decision, it will probably be OK.
Even A Ming himself felt a little ridiculous,
That's it?
"What's wrong?" Siniang asked.
A Ming shook his head, "I'm afraid it won't work if I say it."
"Is it a matter of advancement?"
"Huh? Is it so obvious? ?”
"Because in addition to advanced matters, we need to be taboo, and even a little superstitious. I can't think of the second thing."
You are a vampire,
You are superstitious. ah!
“Oops.” A Ming sighed.
Sixiang held a cigarette in her hand and said, "Actually, when I heard you say those words to the Lord just now, I thought you finally wanted to speak your mind to the Lord."
"I don't. I've only been focusing on drinking recently."
"Unintentional words may be the most sincere."
"Siniang, I haven't advanced yet, so don't I've been blown away."
"It's yours after all. If you can advance, it will be of great help so far."
"I am. Very willing.”
"Then just wait and see."
......
Uncle Zheng, carrying a lot of things, walked through the corridor and came to the secret room.
As soon as he entered the secret room,
Uncle Zheng smelled something.
Xiong Liqing sat on the bed and looked at Zheng Fan. When she saw Zheng Fan's nose moving, she involuntarily grabbed the sheets with her hands and fingers, and her face began to turn red uncontrollably.
Zheng Fan said "ha",
put down the bucket, spittoon, toilet paper, etc. in turn,
said:
"People There is nothing to be embarrassed about when there are three emergencies. No one says that a princess cannot pee.
Sorry, I didn't expect this last night. "
"I...I..."
Zheng Fan placed the wowotou in front of the princess.
The princess was not polite, reached out and grabbed the wowotou and started Eat.
When you are hungry, everything you eat tastes good.
Zheng Fan dragged the chair over, sat down, and watched the princess eat.
Eating too quickly, the princess choked and began to beat her chest.
Zheng Fan pointed at the bucket.
The princess immediately got out of bed and ran to the bucket to drink water and feel better.
“Huh…”
"Save water, part of it is for food, and part of it can be used to flush the toilet."
"Toilet?"
"Sppittoon."
"I... Where should I rush?”
“It’s up to you.”
Xiong Liqing came back obediently and sat down in front of Zheng Fan, but she still held a steamed bun in her hand and continued to nibble.
"Your suggestion last night kept me from sleeping well all night."
Xiong Liqing nodded and said, "Uncle, is your heart moved?"
"Yes. . ”
“From a young woman’s point of view, I definitely hope that my uncle will act as soon as his heart moves.”
"But I was afraid that I would suffer a loss. I caught you, let you go, and then you changed your mind again. What's my thanks?"
"Uncle, I hate my brother, I hate him very much, you know Is this the feeling of loving someone, but being given to another man by the person you love most as a bargaining chip?"
"This? This question is a bit difficult to answer."
"I hate him."
"I know, but you are the princess of Chu after all, and you are still a woman. Chiri, women are more sensitive. You may change your mind after I let you go.”
Xiong Liqing pursed her lips and said, "I won't change my mind."
Zheng Fan said nothing, waiting for Xiong Liqing to continue.
Right now, it’s a buyer’s market.
If Zheng Fan intends to save his capital and takes her back like this, she will become a puppet, a princess who is not recognized as a real princess in Chu State. In Yan State, her treatment may be, But basically it’s just a change of cage.
And if Zheng Fan is willing to let her go back, he and Dayanping Yebo will leave from the wedding day together, with the idea of accomplishing this "fairy couple", or simply suppressing the Chu State In line with the popular sentiment and the disgusting purpose of the regent of Chu State, Emperor Yan was very happy to marry him to Pingye Bo.
Then, I can become Mrs. Hirano, and I may face a series of subsequent problems such as competition for favor, cold treatment, etc., but at least I have occupied the position and my life will not be too bad.
Of course, there are not only two options, but also a third one, which is to regret it after going back. She will marry Qu Peiluo and become the wife of the eldest son of the Qu family. Because of her status as a princess, , in the Qu family, she can also be half the talker, no one dares to disrespect her.
There are three options: A, B, and C. If we don’t consider emotional factors and only talk about salary, for Xiong Liqing, A will definitely be the most disadvantaged, B will make do, and C will be the most comfortable.
"Uncle, are you afraid that you will suffer a loss in the end and gain nothing?"
"A bit."
"It's a pity that I can't give my body to you now."
"Huh?"
"If my uncle wants my body, I won't feel it's too much of a loss, right? After all, I am the princess of the Chu Kingdom. My uncle must have no shortage of women, but the princess cannot sleep with her whenever she wants. ."
"It's a bit surprising that you would say something like this."
"Because it's not just uncle that you didn't sleep well after doing it, I was thinking about it all night, uncle. , before we get married, the nuns from the Qu family will come to check my body. I can’t lose my virginity.”
"So, why are you telling me this? Actually, I'm not interested in you at all, especially your body."
The one who is interested in you is the one in my family.
“I just want to be honest.”
Hearing this, Zheng Fan’s mouth curved.
Xiong Liqing put the last bit of cornbread in her hand into her mouth, swallowed it, and said: "Actually, uncle, if you are willing to come to see me again, it means that uncle is still moved and wants to take a gamble.
I have heard the story of my uncle, who went deep into the snow customs with a lone army. It can be said that if the uncle's bet had not been successful, the savages and my great Chu Qingluan army would not have suffered such a miserable defeat.
Uncle, you are a person who likes to gamble. I think you can gamble again this time. The result will not let you down. "
"If you persuade people to go to the gambling table, the sky will strike like lightning. "
"You can't say that. I don't want to marry Qu Peiluo. I don't want to be his woman. I don't even want to stay in Chu State, because in the next ten, twenty, thirty For years, as long as I was in Chu State, I could hear from him all the time. "
"Then you want to marry me? ”
"I think you, uncle, are very interesting."
"Is it interesting that you were slapped yesterday?"
"No, I think you, uncle, make me feel like The urge to know more.”
"Haha."
"I even imagined last night what life would be like if I became Mrs. Hirano in the future. My future children may become the only royal family of Da Chu. Bloodline.”
"The only one?"
"Because my man will probably break through Zhennanguan and destroy the Chu Kingdom."
"Oh?" Zheng Fan shook his head, "You really have confidence in me "
"Following you will be more interesting, and the possibility will be the greatest in the future."
"I am not a young man who has just started to fall in love. These words are useless to me. ”
"Uncle, you will eventually agree to let me go back."
"I am a little too confident."
Zheng Fan stood up and seemed ready to leave.
But at this moment, Xiong Liqing, who was sitting on the bed, suddenly said:
"Uncle, is this the Fan family?"
Zheng Fan turned around and looked at Xiong Liqing with no expression.
Xiong Liqing plucked up her courage, looked at Zheng Fan, and continued:
"My uncle came to see me twice. His hair was wet, and he also had a smell on his body. There was a faint earthy smell, and it was obvious that he had just taken a shower. He had to take a shower every time before seeing me. My uncle is also a man who leads soldiers in war, so he obviously does not have a natural preference for cleanliness. So, this is to cover up the possible smell on my body.
I, Xiong Liqing, am just a woman, not a dog, so why do you need to hide the smell on your body?
This means, Uncle? There are a lot of smells in the environment where I am now. If I smell it, I might guess where this place is.
Willow Beach? Xixiiti? Bush? Even if I can guess these places, there will be no harm. Therefore, uncle, what you want to hide is a specific person who helped you... someone?
Since this family can be favored by your uncle, it is obvious that they are not an unknown family in my country. At the same time, they can arrange for me to be transferred immediately after your uncle attacks me. Entering here proves that this family must have a lot of background.
I was captured by your uncle in Xiayong County. The imperial guards around me will definitely be looking for me crazily, and the soldiers and horses from the nearby military camp will definitely be dispatched, so I think uncle Sir, you probably failed to move me out. Xiayong County is not far from Mengshan Mountain. If I were moved out, I should be in the mountains now. What is there to avoid in the mountains?
I should be locked up underground, so that family should be above me. That family should be extremely noble and luxurious, because I can smell the smell of their home.
I am not a dog with a nose, I am just a pampered princess. The smell that can be smelled by me must be something I am very familiar with;
Expensive incense?
Good sandalwood?
Or is it the pollen scent that can be felt even in winter?
Hothouse?
It is precisely because it is difficult to get rid of the smell completely, so uncle, you have to take a shower.
In addition to this nest of steamed buns,
Yesterday I ate the candy you gave me, which tasted very good, and the long white stick you took out in front of me yesterday. , inside, it should be tobacco, right? Sometimes the palace would use it to smoke the house, which was said to ward off evil spirits and eliminate plague.
This proves that, uncle, you are a person who never tires of food and fine food.
You must be able to eat well, but you did not bring down the food you eat to feed me;
This means that the food around my uncle, or this family I can't eat the food you provided for me, uncle. Once I eat it, I might taste it.
Besides, this steamed bun is freshly steamed, so it’s obvious.
This family,
their food and clothing are extremely luxurious, and even the wind blowing through his house has the aura of wealth and wealth, which can completely make me grow up with The princess in the palace is very responsive.
Mediocrity,
The only ones who can do this are the Fan family. ”
The princess finished speaking,
Zheng Fan looked at the princess and said:
“Guess?”
“It’s a guess.”
“Evidence? ”
Xiong Liqing looked at Zheng Fan with a smile and said:
"There is no need for any evidence at all, because this palace's suspicion is enough to wipe out the entire Fan family.
Fan family, business No matter how big it is, it is just a slave and a dog under the Qu family."
Zheng Fan also smiled and said:
"Have you ever thought that if you guessed correctly, I would be even less likely to let you go back?"
"This is my sincerity, Uncle Zheng."
"This sincerity The way of expression is not easy for me to adapt to.”
“Uncle, you have already decided.”
"Otherwise, you wouldn't have taken a shower when you saw me for the first time last night. If you plan to take me back to Yan State without any hesitation, then what difference does it make if I know that this is Fan Mansion? ?
You have already made up your mind. This is what I thought about last night. I figured it out."
Speaking of this,
Xiong Liqing got off the bed, walked to Zheng Fan, put her hands on Zheng Fan's chest, and said slowly:
“The man I will become will indeed be a man.”
Zheng Fan lowered his head and looked at the Princess of Dachu;
Maybe she was frightened last night, so the performance of the Princess of Dachu was not particularly exciting. After a night of reflection, today, she Revealed true character and level.
How many of them are pure idiots because they are born in the royal family?
…
Zheng Fan walked out of the rockery,
Outside,
A Ming turned his back and looked at the pond, as if the scenery in the pond was so beautiful.
Six Niang leaned on the railing and looked at Zheng Fan, waiting for the Lord to make a decision.
Zheng Fan came over and when passing by A Ming, he reached out and patted A Ming on the shoulder.
"A Ming, you are right, having fun is the most important thing."
The next moment,
A Ming's aura suddenly came out, and his body began to show a faint bloody light, as if there were layers of bloody shadows, superimposed on A Ming's body.
Even the black bat on A Ming's shoulder was so scared that he cowered up at this moment, obviously completely frightened by the coercion of almost the same race.
Zheng Fan frowned slightly when he saw this, but then he was relieved,
turned around and looked at Siniang,
Said:
“Let’s change the book and continue singing.”
