Li Jingzhao's face froze: "What are you doing?"

Wan Ruo's eyes were already cold: "Don't make a sound, my sword is very fast. I have killed people and seen blood. You know, I am a doctor. I know how to kill people in one shot. A quick death."

Li Jingzhao felt the cold dagger pressed against his neck, and the blood in his body froze.

He had made all the necessary preparations and watched the fish being hooked, but he never expected that he would become the meat on her chopping board.

"what you up to?"

She asked coldly, "Who are you?"

"Tea merchant."

The dagger in Wanruo's hand opened a gash on his neck. There was a sharp pain and warm blood flowed down his neck. Li Jingzhao's hands in his sleeves had begun to tremble slightly.

Is she serious?!

"I want to hear the truth." Wanruo stared into his eyes.

Li Jingzhao shuddered all over, and he finally believed that she really dared to kill him.

If the sword in her hand moves even an inch, he will surely die!

He had been a hunter his whole life, but now he had been pecked in the eye by a tiny sparrow. He had come to the Western Zhou Dynasty with great ambitions, and he still had his own grand plans to complete. How could he die in such an unclear way at the hands of a weak woman today?!

Li Jingzhao took a deep breath and said, "I am the Crown Prince of Beiliang. I have a token in my arms."

Wanruo held the dagger against his aorta with one hand and reached into his clothes with the other hand to take out the token.

"I have been sent to the Western Zhou Dynasty as an envoy to renew the peace treaty between our two countries. If I die in the Western Zhou Dynasty, war will inevitably break out between our two countries. You will be the culprit and you will not be able to escape."

"It's not a loss for me to drag a prince of a royal family into the fight with me."

Li Jingzhao's face turned stiff.

Wanruo lifted the car window curtain, looked at the road outside, and said coldly, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the road to Mount Tai. The emperor is hunting there now. You came after me because you want to use me as a handle. You already know the relationship between Xie Xianyu and me."

Li Jingzhao leaned against the car wall and sighed: "I do have other intentions, but I also sincerely want to help you..."

Wan Ruo sneered, "Your Highness, please tone down your words. I won't fall for it."

It was the first time he saw her so cold. He thought she was weak and soft-hearted like an ordinary woman. Perhaps her little white face was too confusing, and that was the first time he made a misjudgment.

He asked somewhat unwillingly: "How did you notice it?"

"He gave me a thousand taels of silver as a consultation fee without hesitation. He'd only known me for a few days, but he was willing to offend the powerful and take me away secretly. Where in the world can you find such a kind-hearted person?"

"Why not?"

It's not that he hasn't thought about taking her away. As long as he can get her to hold Xie Xianyu back and help the King of Jin seize the crown prince position, he will ask for the princess of Western Zhou to marry him, and he really intends to take her back to Beiliang with him.

After all, she saved his life. It would be difficult for an orphan without anyone to rely on, and he would not ignore her. He could let her enter the East Palace and give her the position of concubine.

He had no intention of harming her.

Wan Ruo laughed sarcastically, "How do you think I got to where I am today? I'm not some carefree, innocent daughter raised in seclusion. You don't know how much I've endured just to survive."

His eyes paused slightly.

She curled her lips and said, "I've never met a good person along the way."

-

enclosure.

Yesterday, the emperor and his officials had already set up camp outside the enclosure. Except for the emperor who lived in the palace, the rest of the people lived in tents. At a glance, it was a vast expanse of white with no end in sight.

The two most luxurious tents, headed by the King of Jin and the King of Xuan, were originally the two tents. They were located in the south and the north, and they did not interfere with each other, but they also checked and balanced each other.
