Red makeup against the world

Chapter 644 Darkness of Night

King Qi walked to the open window lattice, facing the oncoming autumn wind, looking at the dark night outside, thinking in his heart.

First of all, he affirmed that this person was definitely not sent by the prince.According to the prince's ruthless personality, if he could make such a master of the rivers and lakes, how could he save his life?
Then what this person said is seventy-eight percent true.He bears a blood feud on his body, but because of the oath that he could not take the prince's life, he found his family.

King Qi didn't regret it, he didn't show his hole card just now.Dangers are everywhere in the process of seizing the heir, how could he tell the whole story to a master of the rivers and lakes who suddenly appeared with unknown origins?Give him clues, as long as you check carefully, you will know that what he said is true.

He believed that as long as the expert was verified, he would find him again.At that time, I will have another capable general under my command.

Thinking of this, he tapped his index finger on the window lattice, and a confident smile gradually appeared on his face.

Only now did I feel that I was sitting in a sad city, and now a master sent me.Although he was not the one who broke the situation, it proved that even God was helping him. At this time, King Qi was completely depressed and happy.

There was a rush of footsteps in the distance, and occasional tinkling of ring pendants.With a gust of fragrant wind, Princess Qi's anxious face appeared in front of him.

"My lord? I heard that there are assassins coming in the front yard. How are you doing now?" Princess Qi frowned slightly, her delicate heart-shaped face was full of worries that couldn't be concealed.

Her husband was going to fight for the big position, and she was well aware of the dangers involved.As a woman in a deep house, she can't help much, she can only look around the backyard as best she can, so that King Qi doesn't have to be distracted.

Concubine Qi also vaguely knew about the comings and goings with the prince in the court hall.But it was the first time she encountered such a real danger of assassins entering the mansion.

When she heard that there was a change in the front yard, she hurried to the study without thinking about taking off her hairpins and grooming, and hurriedly put on a robe.Along the way, she imagined many bad situations, but now seeing him standing there in good condition, the heavy stone in her heart was finally loosened.

King Qi saw that she came in a hurry, the skirt of the pajamas was exposed under the smoky green smock, and her long hair was not pulled up, so he hurriedly said: "Princess, come in quickly. My husband is fine, but there is an adventure."

Hearing his easy words, Princess Qi gave him a look, and said: "I'm worried about the death of my concubine! The prince should be more careful in the future, just in case, in case something..." She swallowed the following words Well, if there is an eventuality, she will live and die with her husband.

King Qi waved his hand to let all irrelevant people go down, stretched out his hand to embrace Princess Qi's petite body in his arms, and said softly: "Don't worry, I will definitely make you the most honorable woman in the world."

Princess Qi looked at him with her beautiful eyes, "My lord, do you know that what a concubine wants is not the most prestigious position, but to be with you for the rest of his life."

But in this case, she can only think silently in her heart.King Qi's current situation is that if he does not advance, he will retreat. It is extremely difficult for her to stay together for a lifetime, which seems to be an ordinary wish.

Buried in his arms, absorbing the warmth of his arms.Princess Qi nodded, and said softly: "I believe in you, my concubine is waiting for such a day."

Wu Zhengxiang did not go far away, hiding under the eaves of a small building hundreds of meters away.He mobilized all his internal energy, restrained his breath, and adjusted his breath to be almost inaudible, successfully turning it into a part of this small building.Even if someone passed by his feet at this time, they would not notice his existence.

He listened intently, and heard all the movements from King Qi's study after he left.Hearing the hurried footsteps of the guards, hearing King Qi's forgiveness and comfort to Guo Yan, and hearing the deep affection between Princess Qi and his husband and wife.

Another half an hour later, King Qi and his wife went back to the backyard together, and the front yard became calm again.Only then did he relax his body, and walked out of Prince Qi's mansion along the retreat route he had planned long ago.

In the capital city at night, the buildings are stacked one upon another, and the roads between the various squares are as neat as a chessboard.The moonlight peeked out from behind the thick cloud, and just as it shed a clear light, it was blocked by the black cloud again.

Wu Zhengxiang did not return to Duke Zhong's mansion, but came to an abandoned house in the west of the city.

This house originally belonged to Ye Ying who was beside the prince, and it was also Ye Ying's retreat for herself.Ye Ying failed to murder Xu Wanzhen in Guikulin in the eastern suburbs, but died in the swamp instead.After Wu Zhengxiang found out his identity, he even found this secluded house, and took this abandoned house as his occasional place to stay.

It is said that the three caves of the cunning rabbit, Wu Zhengxiang originally fought the shadow guards with a ruthless force, and never thought of retreating.But since he had Xu Wanzhen, he thought about it completely differently, and began to slowly set up a stronghold for himself.Apart from his own position, even Wu Rui didn't know about these strongholds.

He quietly entered the wing room of the abandoned house, not even disturbed by the spiders spinning webs under the eaves.After changing his night clothes and lying on the Arhat bed, Wu Zhengxiang didn't light the lamp, but only thought about his actions tonight and King Qi's reaction, which would determine the rise and fall of the Wu family for the next hundred years.

Although he is reluctant to admit it, as long as he is in the Gaomang Dynasty for one day, his fate is closely related to the Wu family.He doesn't need to care, but what about big brother?What about her?
He said that he should protect her for the rest of her life, instead of letting her follow him in fear.

After confirming that he hadn't shown any flaws, watching the reaction behind the king, and believing in the existence of this strange man in the world, he was relieved, closed his eyes and slept for two hours.After dawn, he quietly closed the door and went out, returning to Duke Zhongguo's mansion.

……

In the Zhiyuan residence, the servants and maids have already got up one after another, began to sweep the courtyard, and prepared to start the day's work.

Xu Wanzhen opened her eyes and subconsciously looked at the bed beside her.It's only been half a month since we got married, and she's already used to his presence, she just kept her eyes open last night and didn't fall asleep until midnight.

It was empty around him, and he hadn't come back yet.Xu Wanzhen blinked, only to remember that he had important things to do last night.Hugging the quilt sideways and curling up into a ball, she taught herself in her heart: He will stay away all night if there is a big event, and she can't think about making trouble for him!The situation is unclear, and there may be more dangerous times in the days to come, so you have to get used to it earlier.

When Wu Zhengxiang entered the door, he saw this scene.Xu Wanzhen bowed her body, buried her head in the brocade quilt, her hair was a little messy exposed after sleeping all night, she was as cute as a little quail.

He couldn't help but let out a muffled laugh, walked in and lifted the quilt, rubbed her hair and said, "Aren't you afraid of being bored? Why do you like hiding under the quilt so much?"

Because of the lack of oxygen, Xu Wanzhen's face was a little flushed, and when he saw him back, her eyes were round and round, and her expression became more and more lovely.

"You can't have an empty bed for the first month of marriage. My husband came back to warm his wife's bed." Wu Zhengxiang smiled happily.
