Chapter 29 Destiny Tianying City
Zhou Zhao's eyelashes trembled slightly, and with a slight movement of his wrist, the dark coffin nail slipped silently into his hand.
She dodged, jumped up, and pierced Zhu Li's neck with the coffin nail.
Zhu Li's eyes flashed, he took a big step back, and distanced himself from Zhou Zhao.
But he still didn't have time to completely avoid the sudden blow. The tip of the coffin nail scratched his neck, revealing a line of red blood.
Zhu Li covered the wound and looked at Zhou Zhao with a bit of anger in his eyes, "Is Miss Zhou always so free and easy?"
Zhou Zhao waved his sleeves and put back the coffin nails. She took out a bottle of golden sore medicine from her sleeve pocket and threw it to Zhu Li.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhu is very skilled in martial arts, and he is also the best among the Northern Army. I was itchy for a while... I'm really sorry, this is the best medicine for golden sores. I should not apologize to Mr. Zhu."
Zhu Li reached out and grabbed the golden sore medicine. Although his anger dissipated a bit, he still looked calm.
Zhou Zhao looked at him and always felt that he looked more like a living person than when he followed him to investigate the "Ghost Eating Song Case" during the day.
Her eyes moved, and she cupped her hands towards Zhu Li, "Thank you, Mr. Zhu, for reporting the message to my mother. But there is something I don't understand. As you said, we have never met before. Why did you do this?"
If she hadn't said that, Zhou Buwei would have offended all the leeches in the lotus pond of Tingwei Temple.
Otherwise, when she was in jail, no one from the old Zhou family would come to her door to inform her. Who would not shed a handful of bitter tears when they saw her, sighing that it would be cool to have tea when she left, and that she was the emperor and the courtiers.
"My mother went to Tingwei Temple to pick me up, but Mr. Zhu didn't go back to that adult with her. But what happened to delay me? I wonder if you know that Tingwei Temple was robbed? It's a pity that I left a step early and didn't run into the robbers. .”
Zhu Li's eyes were calm again at this moment, and there was no wave in his eyes.
He seemed to have a faint sense of death again.
"I went there on your orders. General Lu is all that is needed at Tingwei Temple. I am a nobody, so I still have night patrol duties. It's a pity that when we had to go over to help with the search, the prisoners in the prison had already been rescued. Gone. No clues were found during patrol.”
Zhou Zhao listened, with thousands of thoughts in her mind. She thought about it and asked again, "Master Zhu, you haven't answered my previous question yet."
"The Northern Army patrols and travels back and forth in teams. Why is it that Sir, wearing a night patrol armor, is here alone?"
Zhu Li looked at Zhou Zhao quietly, "Miss Zhou, are you interrogating me? Zhu is not a prisoner, and there is no need to answer your questions. Farewell!"
Zhu Li said, clasped his fists at Zhou Zhao, and floated far away with a tap of his feet. Zhou Zhao wanted to chase, but because he was drunk, he looked up and saw that the person in front of him had a double image. She rubbed it He rubbed his eyes, and when he looked again, Zhu Li was nowhere to be seen?
She looked toward the end of the alley, where there was darkness, like an endless deep sea that would swallow people.
Zhou Zhao withdrew his gaze and returned to his mansion.
The house is still in chaos and order. Zhou Zhao has walked countless times and has practiced all the twists and turns without encountering any "dead body", stepping on "a drop of blood at the crime scene", and not accidentally stepping on it. If you touch the mechanism, the sledgehammer hanging from the beam will suddenly fall and smash you into mincemeat.
She took out the blank bamboo slip. The bamboo slip was cold and there was still no word on it, as if the letter announcing her death to her wife that she saw in prison that day was her illusion.
Could it be that you can only see it in prison?
Zhou Zhao suddenly had the absurd idea of being caught again.
She shook her head, spread the bamboo slips on the table, and then jumped lightly, lying directly on a hemp rope hanging above the table. Her whole body was like clothes dried in the sun, so loose. hanging.
It's her special way of relaxing her brain.
When Zhou Wan saw her for the first time, he thought she was hanging from the beam, so he was so frightened that he pulled her down and beat her! She was in a state of confusion at the time and left the house in a mess. Zhou Zhao was so angry that he wrote an old debt to her.
Zhou Zhao thought about it, keeping his eyes fixed on the bamboo slips, but his thoughts were a little far away. Because she saw the "Book of Announcement to Wife's Death", she was sure that Su Changying was not dead at all. He was still alive and well, and would definitely go to Tianying City on the fifteenth day of next month. Zhu Li felt very familiar to her, so she just tested it out, could Zhu Li be Su Changying?
After all, he was very skilled in martial arts and very kind to her, but now another man secretly came to her door.
But when she tried it out, she was a little disappointed. She used to sneak attack on Su Changying, and his dodge was already engraved in her bones.
Zhu Li did not avoid it.
But if Zhu Li is not Su Changying, then who is he?
Zhou Zhao's eyelids gradually became heavy as he thought about it. When he opened his eyes again, it was already the next morning.
The sunlight came in, making the "murder weapons" placed everywhere in the room somewhat reflective.
"Girl, Mr. Zhang just sent someone here to ask you to come over and talk about the agreement with you."
Zhou Zhao cheered up and jumped down from the long rope. She rubbed her stomach, which was a little uncomfortable, and responded quickly, "I know. You ask Shi Shi to go hitch the car, and I'll be here right away."
Everything was as she expected. After one night, the entire city of Chang'an knew that she had won the first place in the competition.
Even if others don't say it, Min Zangzhi, the "Chang'an celebrity" and Han Ze, the "unparalleled playboy", are like a storm passing through, directly sweeping the ears of the people in the capital. Countless pairs of eyes looked at it, Zhang Ran and Ting Wei Zheng Li Huaishan would definitely appeal immediately, and the conclusion was reached today.

While Zhou Zhao was changing clothes and washing up, he was thinking about what changes might occur during this trip.
Chang'an City is particularly lively in the early morning. As soon as the market opens, farmers are everywhere carrying their burdens into the city.
Zhou Zhao did not stop and entered the Zhang Mansion with ease.
Different from when I arrived yesterday, the atmosphere in this house was a bit strange, but the mourning hall that had been set up previously had been removed, and there were no more crying people.
"Zhou Shimei, father is waiting for you in the study. I'm sorry that I was in a hurry yesterday and said something rude. I didn't expect..."
Zhang Xun, who was leading the way, was a little embarrassed. He had changed into a light cyan robe today, and he looked much more polite. However, his eyes were red and swollen into slits, and he looked like he had been crying all night.
Zhou Zhao shook his head gently and didn't say much to him.
Yesterday it was Zhou Zhao, today it is Zhou Shimei.
Zhang Ran's study was still the same as yesterday. When he saw Zhou Zhao coming in, he lamented three times in a row, looking at Zhou Zhao with eyes full of resentment.
"My dear nephew, Mr. Xiao Zhou, you have tricked Lao Zhang so badly! You don't know that yesterday in front of the emperor, His Majesty looked at me as if I were a fool. Thanks to my sincerity and trust in you, you actually did this to me. Set..."
Zhou Zhao raised his eyebrows, "What did Shibo say? I am true to every word, but I have completed it according to Shibo's requirements, so how can I talk about cheating?"
"Moreover, in the future, people will only praise you for your ability to recognize people, and you are a rare talent in the world."
Zhang Ran looked at Zhou Zhao with still dark eyes. "Qianlima, you owe Bole once."
He rubbed his brows, walked around the desk, and walked quickly to the door. Seeing that there was no one outside the study door, Zhang Xun was standing in the distance guarding the surroundings. Zhang Ran just closed the door again and looked at Zhou Zhao seriously.
"Although you won the competition, many people were dissatisfied because you were a woman. The Weiyang Palace was noisier than the market last night. They said you had the upper hand. They had just arrived and the competition was over. They were somewhat victorious. Not martial.”
"Your Majesty will discuss with the Prime Minister and give you two choices."
"The first is that you will not be admitted to the imperial court, but you can be rewarded and given the title of king. The second is that according to what Dabi said, you can be admitted to the imperial army, but you need someone who can silence everyone and convince them of your merits."
Zhang Ran said, his voice deepened, "Zhou Zhao, have you ever heard of Tianying City?"
