Chapter 390: Making friends out of nothing
"Recently, I always feel that I may be the most failed king in the history of the wilderness."
"Where did the king say this?"
< br>"Others have three thousand beauties, gathering beauties from all over the world, but I can't even catch one person I like."
At dusk, Zhao Yan lay on her side lazily with her right hand on her head. On the bamboo mat beside the bed.
The black hair is scattered like dark clouds, and the eyes are half closed and half open.
The dim light of the setting sun came in from the window and evenly sprinkled on her body, outlining her plump chest and slender waist, like mountains and valleys, with mountains and mountains.
A pair of delicate white feet poked out from under the crimson skirt, and the tips of her toes dyed with khao were casually playing with a string of pearls.
She still remembered that a few days ago, she pretended to be drunk here and rested for a long time leaning on Gu Xu's shoulder. Although the incense in the room had been replaced twice, she still seemed to be able to vaguely smell the residual scent of him.
"Your Majesty, other monarchs only plunder by force. When they meet a beautiful girl, they will directly take her into the harem, and they will not care about her consent." A maid smiled and brought a plate of desserts. Arriving in front of Zhao Yan, "How can I be as affectionate as your Majesty?"
Zhao Yan is aloof in front of outsiders, but in front of these maids who are familiar with her, she is approachable, doesn't put on airs, and gets along like sisters. Therefore, the maids dared to tell her some jokes.
“If there was a man in the world who could treat me the way the king treats Mr. Gu, then I would have been willing to marry him.”
“Your Majesty, such a man who doesn’t care about friendship. Why are you so nice to him? Why don't you just tie him up with a rope and throw him on the bed?"
"What are you thinking about?" Zhao Yan glanced sideways. The maid glanced at her and said, "Do you think I am the kind of debauched, dissolute and dissolute king?"
The maid immediately lowered her head and admitted her mistake, claiming repeatedly that she did not dare to have such thoughts.
However, even though Zhao Yan said this, the scene where she was extremely aggrieved after being hit by Gu Xu's "Binding Talisman" in the "Dragon Secret Realm" appeared in her mind - if she could use this method to take revenge Coming back seems like a good choice.
Thinking about it, I unconsciously felt a little excited.
"Qiu Yan, find some time to write a letter to Liuli Oiran of the Luojing Jiaofang Division." After a brief silence, Zhao Yan sat up slightly and looked at her most trusted maid, " Ask her for me, has she ever met a man who is as indifferent as a piece of wood? How should I deal with such a person?
"But don't mention me directly in the letter. Just say that you have a friend who is in emotional trouble. "
"Yes, Your Majesty. "Qiu Yan agreed, happily accepting that he had "an extra friend" out of thin air.
"By the way, ask her if you can borrow some of the small picture albums with pink covers in her drawer. Of course, in the name of 'a friend of yours'."
Qiu Yan Nod again.
Having said this, Zhao Yan breathed a long sigh of relief, slowly stood up from the couch, and looked at the layers of scarlet burning clouds on the boundary between heaven and earth.
Her thick black hair falls straight down to her waist, like a smooth and shiny waterfall, which is in sharp contrast with her bright red dress.
"It's getting dark soon," she murmured softly, "Fellow Daoist Gu, are you ready to take action?"
…………
This whole day, Zhao Changqi felt extremely upset.
First of all, when he heard the news that "someone tried to poison Gu Xu and was imprisoned in Jicheng Prison", he knew that his plan failed.
But as a person with deep emotions and a secretive expression of joy and anger, Zhao Changqi did not show any obvious feelings of loss or anger.
After all, the identity of the mastermind behind him has not been exposed yet.
He can also analyze the reasons and collect intelligence through the failure of this operation to formulate a more complete plan for the next time.
"I underestimated the ability of that boy Gu Xu," Zhao Changqi silently concluded, "'Soul Seizing Grass' juice is an extremely hidden and difficult to prevent poison. I originally thought that only the fourth With his level of cultivation, it is impossible for him to detect its existence.
"But now it seems that his perception ability is far beyond that of ordinary people, or he has the ability to predict crises. This must be considered when attacking him in the future. "However, what happened next was beyond Zhao Changqi's expectation.
Without any warning, a group of unknown people rushed into the meeting hall one after another and reported to Zhao Yan. Zhao Changqi The father and son had evil intentions and secretly colluded with Da Qi to plot rebellion.
In addition, there is a large pile of impeachment memorials with similar content.
In fact, more than 80% of what these people say is true, with a little bit of exaggeration.
But Zhao Changqi always believed that what he did was extremely hidden and should never be discovered.
He thought that maybe his niece Zhao Yan wanted to weaken the power in his hands and use this method to test him.
So he immediately denied it and shouted that he was wronged.
After hearing his words, Zhao Yan also said sincerely: "I have always seen my uncle's contribution to Dayan in recent years and kept it in my heart. I believe that these people's reports are purely for the purpose of Uncle’s slander.
“However, in order to convince the public, I may need to send a few people to my uncle’s mansion to conduct a small investigation to prove my uncle’s innocence to the world. "
"Of course no problem. "Zhao Changqi readily agreed.
All his shady things are hidden in the secret room under the house. Only he and his son Zhao Yu know the exact location of the entrance to the secret room.
Plus He once hired a formation master to arrange multiple formations for shielding perception, isolating divination, and burning important documents in the secret room.
He believed that the people sent by Zhao Yan would never find anything fishy.
So that night, Cai Shuo, the instructor who had taught Zhao Yan martial arts, brought several guards in black to the mansion where Zhao Changqi lived.
Although the area of this residence is not as large as that of Dayan Palace, the furnishings and decorations are obviously much more luxurious.
It is not as square, simple and rough as most of the buildings in the north. Instead, it imitates the exquisite and exquisite gardens in the south, hidden by flowers and trees.
The Yong Road in the courtyard is connected and decorated, and the flying pavilions and flowing eaves are magnificent.
Zhao Changqi put down his posture and received Coach Cai and his subordinates politely - he knew that Coach Cai was an honest man who missed old friendships, and he could easily fool him as long as he was moved with emotion and acted with reason.
With this in mind, he talked endlessly about the flesh-and-blood brotherhood between himself and Zhao Changying, saying that he had always regarded Zhao Yan as his own daughter, and that he loved the great Vulcan. Faithful.
Instructor Cai remained silent and did not respond.
But Zhao Changqi saw with satisfaction that there was a hint of emotion in his eyes.
After wandering around the courtyard for a while, Coach Cai turned around and looked at a guard in black beside him: "Did you find anything?"
This black-clothed guard is neither tall nor short, with an ordinary face that is hard to notice.
In his hand, he held a bunch of crumpled talismans tightly.
"I need to take another look." The guard in black said expressionlessly. His voice was stiff and without any fluctuations, as if spoken by an inanimate puppet.
Zhao Changqi frowned slightly.
For a moment, he couldn't remember which guard among Zhao Yan's personal guards was good at using talismans.
