Chapter 57 Closing the Deal
In the evening, soldiers brought food.

Lin Jingmo brought the food to Shang Shixu's side, picked up the food with chopsticks and was about to feed him, but Shang Shixu looked up at the gradually darkening sky outside and said to Lin Jingmo: "Madam, I'm very thirsty, you Go to the door and get me some water."

Lin Jingmo put down his chopsticks and said, "Okay." He got up and walked towards the door.

While she turned around, Shang Shixu quickly took out a pack of white powder from his arms and sprinkled it on the vegetables.

Lin Jingmo brought water in, first fed water to Shang Shixu, and then picked up chopsticks to pick up vegetables for him to eat, but Shang Shixu shook his head and said, "Ma'am, I was injured, I can't eat too salty , how about you help me try the saltiness?"

Lin Jingmo blinked, then fed the food into her mouth, chewed it for a while, swallowed it, and said, "It's really salty." She smacked her lips and frowned, "Not only is it salty, but it also has a strange smell."

After all, he suddenly felt a little dizzy, and then fell directly into Shang Shixu's arms.

Shang Shixu hugged Lin Jingmo, and then looked at the sky outside the window.

Suddenly there was movement outside.

Yan Chushan opened the door curtain with a whip in his hand. He saw Shang Shixu who was sitting on the ground because of his injuries, and Lin Jingmo who was sleeping in his arms, and said with a look of disgust, "Your wife is really big-hearted." , what time is it, can you still sleep?"

After all, he knelt down and reached out to touch Lin Jingmo's face, but Shang Shixu stopped him with his hand.

Yan Chushan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Who do you think you are here?"

Shang Shixu raised his head, and met Shangyan Chushan's eyes coldly: "Shang Shixu, the servant of the household department in Lower Southern Qi."

Yan Chushan was stunned by his appearance, and then sneered again: "Heh..." Then he opened his hand, and a token with Zhao characters printed on it appeared in his palm, and he asked: "The people of Zhao Wangfu, Why do you want to scare Zhao Wang and Zhong Shuling with a spare one?"

He stood up and said with his hands behind his back: "Yu Qianzhi didn't even dare to reply to my letter, but followed the person who notified him directly to the Beiyan military camp. Your relationship with him is really not simple!"

Shang Shixu lowered his eyelids, looked out with some absent-minded eyes, and said, "I don't think the Three Great Kings would want to know about our relationship."

Yan Chushan turned around and looked at him curiously: "I think, why don't you want to know? I heard that you are the adopted son of Zhong Shuling and a close friend of Prince Zhao's mansion. Why do you want to hide Yu Qianzhi's identity? Why are you telling me now? Don't say it's because of this woman. You know the relationship between me and Zhao Wang, aren't you afraid that I will tell you about lying to him?"

Shang Shixu smiled, and the wound on his face slowly cracked with the smile, and blood flowed from the untied wound, looking more and more fierce. His scarlet eyes stared at Yan Chushan and said: "How can there be eternity in this world?" Unchanging relationship? I know very well the relationship between you and King Zhao, but I also know that you will keep this secret for me."

"No, I won't, let me tell you, I will repair a book and send it to King Zhao soon!" Yan Chushan only thought he was ridiculous.

Shang Shixu said calmly: "The purpose of your cooperation with King Zhao and the money and grain is to strengthen your power so that you can win the heir in the future. Looking at the current Beiyan court, there are already eight adult princes, but they are most likely to become princes. There is no better candidate than you, the three kings. And what King Zhao wants is the country of the Southern Qi. Unfortunately, the North and the South have been fighting against each other for generations, and the wars have continued for years. Will one day you sit on the throne of the Northern Yan and shake hands with the Southern Qi? Even if you If you really mean it, I don't think Nan Qi will give up regaining the territory he lost, right?"

Yan Chushan looked at Shang Shixu with interest, and nodded: "I underestimated you before, let's go on."

"Since there will be no eternal cooperation between you, why bother to be honest in everything, one day you will still be enemies, why don't you make good use of the hidden danger around me, King Zhao?" Shang Shixu gently put Lin Jingmo on the ground , Then he knelt down and said: "As long as the three kings can help me keep the secret this time, no matter who I want to betray in the future, I will help the three kings once!"

"Okay! Your matter has nothing to do with me, so I don't need to be curious." Yan Chushan waved his hand and walked out the door. He said as he walked, "As long as you don't spoil my business, I will let you go today. Your jade pendant is used as a mortgage, and I will need you in the future, no matter what it is, you have to do it."

……

Shang Shixu hugged Lin Jingmo and got into Yu Qianzhi's carriage and walked towards the city guard.

Yu Qianzhi glanced sideways at Lin Jingmo: "For her sake, is it worth it to expose the relationship between you and me in advance?"

Shang Shishou did not answer.

Yu Qianzhi said helplessly: "Don't forget, you are the murderer who almost killed her. If she regains her memory, how will you deal with yourself then?"

"Keep your voice down." Shang Shixu raised his cold eyes to look at him, and said flatly, "It's because I feel sorry for her, and I can't just let her die."

"Master Shang!" Yu Qianzhi hated iron for being weak, and said in a low voice with extreme forbearance: "Young master! Did you forget that she threatened you with the account book and asked you for 1000 taels of gold? You were forced to kill me." After leaving her, she was the one who wanted to die from the beginning to the end, and you are not a real husband and wife, how can you feel sorry for her? She is a vicious woman, and even beat her own mother-in-law, she is the one who is sorry for you!"

"Shut up!" Shang Shixu stopped Yu Qianzhi's anger, looked down at Lin Jingmo who was peacefully sleeping, and said, "She has forgotten all about the past, she is different from before."

Yu Kanzhi turned his head away in disappointment, and it took him a long time to come back: "Young master, have you forgotten our real purpose? The relationship between you and me has been made public so early, how are we going to proceed with our plan? Gaining the trust of Zhong Shuling, you even told him the secret of your life experience, and even stooped to be his adopted son, but now you are going to fall short because of a woman? Are you so worthy of Zilan who worked so hard to collect information for you in Ruixiang Tower? "

Shang Shixu raised his eyes to look at Yu Ganzhi, with anger in his dark eyes: "Are you the one who sent Zilan to Ruixiang Tower back then?"

Yu Qianzhi replied with a guilty conscience: "Zi Lan is so infatuated with you, it was she who proposed to go to Ruixiang Tower to meet dignitaries."

Shang Shixu didn't worry too much, he lifted the curtain of the car to look out, and said, "I know you and Zilan have worked hard, and everything is going on as usual. I have a deal with Yan Chushan, and he won't take the relationship between you and me. Talk about the relationship. I will be going to defend the city soon, do you still have the ledger I gave you?"

Yu Ganzhi replied: "It's all there, I've put all the ledgers in a safe place."
