win the hairpin

Chapter 406
After King Yan complained, he regained his sanity and secretly regretted what he said just now was too hasty.

He made Zhang Xutang's hair stand on end with a glance, and the back of his neck felt chilly, but he still bit the bullet and asked, "Wh, what do you mean?"

"Idiot," Zhang Xutang sneered, and had to teach him word for word, "You were so good at talking to me just now, but why can't you say no to today? King Jin is dead, and the whole world knows about you." The suspicion is the biggest, so why do you still do such a thankless thing, you didn’t do anything, it’s clear that someone is framing you, maybe it’s King Jin’s bitter plan.”

King Yan slapped his head: "Yes, that's it. I was too anxious. I will enter the palace right away."

"Wait, come here." Zhang Xutang waved at him.

King Yan quickly leaned over and put his ear to Zhang Xutang's mouth.

Zhang Xutang said in a low voice: "You have been to see your aunt too many times recently. It is not a good thing that the former court and the harem are too close. Besides, why do you always go to see your aunt? Don't tell me you are tall and powerful, and you still have to go to your aunt?" Are you breastfeeding in your arms?"

King Yan immediately blushed, and when he went to see Concubine Zhang, in fact, every time he went to see Concubine Zhang, he cried because he had been wronged by Zhang Xutang.

"No more, do you understand?"

"I see."

Just when King Yan was about to straighten up, Zhang Xutang suddenly reached out and patted his face: "You are going to see Jinshang, I can't hit you, next time you question me like this again, I won't show mercy gone."

King Yan shivered, he hesitated and retreated, and exited the Zhang family at a fast speed, only to feel escaped from death.

Zhang Xutang leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes tiredly, and took a short rest.

In his dream, he dreamed that he was walking on the mountain path in Tanzhou.

Tanzhou has high mountains and deep forests, especially the abundance of bamboos. Moso bamboos are tall and straight, towering up one by one, the crown of the tree forms a piece in mid-air, and the rhizomes form a net underground. Touching one of them, the whole bamboo forest ring.

There are no old guards, little guards, no guards, no king Yan, no concubine Zhang, only him. He walked forward in silence, taking every step very carefully so as not to touch the bamboo protruding from the ground. root.

He knew that Song Huiyue was in this bamboo forest and was looking for him. She was lingering, extremely hateful, and those huge eyes flashed through the gaps in the bamboo forest, making him tremble with fear.

Before meeting him, she was dormant in the body of a little lady, invisible. After meeting him, he released the demon king with his own hands.

He was afraid, and walked more carefully, but the bamboo forest seemed to be approaching him, he walked out covered in sweat, the sweat blinded his eyes, and he accidentally kicked a bamboo root.

He suddenly woke up from his dream: "Old Wei!"

"Second Master." It was Xiao Wei who spoke, and Lao Wei went out to do some errands and hadn't come back yet.

The fire in the room was very hot, Xiao Wei put a cloak on Zhang Xutang's body, Zhang Xutang's forehead was sweating from the charcoal fire, and his mouth was dry.

"Tea."

Xiaowei quickly brought tea.

Zhang Xutang drank a couple of sips, but his heart was still flustered and uneasy. The sound of monks chanting sutras outside could not suppress his panic.

"Go get old Wei back!"

Xiao Wei was hesitant to tell the truth—although he was also Wei, there was a distance of thousands of miles between the two guards, and he didn't even know which direction the old Wei was going.

But seeing Zhang Xutang's gaze, he swallowed the truth back and went out as ordered. Since he couldn't find it, he walked around. If Lao Wei saw himself wandering around like a headless chicken on the street, he should will appear.

Zhang Xutang thought in the warm firelight, "Where is King Jin?"

No one knew that after a while, King Jin was assassinated, and the imperial army and palace guards went out to track down the assassin, and King Jin left the palace after them.

If he could be assassinated in the palace, the palace would no longer be safe for him.

There are twenty high-ranking personal guards in his house, one of whom is known, two each for Dianyi, chief shepherd, and Dianshan, four treasurers, and craftsmen, attendants, horses, gatekeepers, sweepers, kitchens, etc. without rank. There are countless teahouses, lockers, coachmen, etc., as long as there is a crack, it is enough for Zhang Xutang to sneak in and kill him.

Without bringing any guards with him, he left the palace with bare hands, and arrived at Caihe just before the fourth watch.

The Wanzhai by the Caihe River was not big. There were two red lanterns hanging in front of the door, and the house was silent. He made a detour to the corner door and called to open the door.

The guard came out vigilantly, frowned and looked at the blood on his body, put his thumb against the blade, and pushed the blade out of the scabbard an inch long.

"Go and tell your master, whether the Jiaozi shop can handle it is in my hands."

The leading guard immediately waved his hand and asked people to go in to report. He was still on guard, but his sword did not deter King Jin. King Jin stepped in and strolled into the garden leisurely, as if he was here for a stroll. garden.

Wan Yunjun had already packed up the things Song Huiyue wanted, and was about to take a rest when she heard the guard report that the person from the Jiaozi shop was coming, so she quickly put on her cloak and came out to meet him.

She thought that the person who came was Yuan Shaopei, or that maid came to see Song Huiyue, but as soon as she stepped into the moon gate of the garden, she saw King Jin sitting on a swing majestically, with blood on his hands , holding the swing rope, slowly swinging back and forth.

She was startled, and immediately thought of King Jin's assassination.

If it's not an enemy, then it's the King Jin's faction, with injuries on his body and an old relationship with Song Huiyue, could it be that this person is the King Jin!

The night was dark and the wind was high, and the assassin who assassinated him was still fleeing outside. He came here alone, so brave.

Immediately, Wan Yunjun thought of Wanjia's business.

It's not just Jiaozi shopkeepers, but they are also trying to reach out to the capital. As long as they get involved with King Jin, and relying on Wanjia's ability and background, Wanjia will no longer be a small merchant in her hands.

But if you deal with King Jin, will you suffer from it?

Since ancient times, there has been no royal family who scrambled for power and profit but loved wealthy businessmen, but once things are done, there are many people who cross the river and tear down the bridge.

Wan Yunjun thought a lot in an instant, and finally came to a quick conclusion - first take down the Jiaozi shop, whether or not King Jin is worth dating depends on, not on King Jin, but on the people around King Jin.

King Jin looked over, Wan Yunjun took a deep breath, stepped forward and walked in.

She smiled as much as possible, and ordered the guards to retreat, without revealing her status as King Jin: "What do you call Dare a distinguished guest?"

"My surname is Pei," King Jin stood up from the swing, "Where's Huiyue?"

Wan Yunjun became more and more sure that the person in front of him was King Jin, so he borrowed Pei's surname and replied, "She has fallen asleep."

King Jin nodded, and instead of asking her to call Song Huiyue, he stepped forward: "Is it convenient to borrow your place for two days?"

Wan Yunjun hurriedly stepped aside and led the way: "It's convenient, but I seldom come to Kyoto, this house is full of people all day long, so the house is inevitably deserted, please don't take it for granted."

"You can take me there, there is no need for so many people to follow."

"Yes." Wan Yunjun waved his hand to signal the people behind him not to follow.
