After hearing this, Zhou Zhiruo fell silent.

On the other hand, Zhao Linger took a deep breath and said, "Don't think too much. Human power is limited. Many things in this world may be destined. Thinking too much will not change anything."

Then, Zhao Linger took out a handful of gold coins from her arms and scattered them in front of the group of girls.

Zhao Linger smiled and said, "Girls, you may not know yet, but Zhang Wuji has ascended the throne and become emperor. He has recaptured this place, and I, Zhao Linger, am your queen."

"From today on, Longcheng will no longer be taken away by Yuan soldiers."

"This money is a reward to you. If you want to stay, you can stay. If you don't want to continue serving us, you can use this money as travel expenses."

The leading maid quickly said: "Empress, we are willing to stay, we are willing to stay. The world is still a little chaotic now, and this is the safest place."

Zhao Linger was surprised for a moment: "Girl, I didn't expect that you have such a high level of awareness."

"Okay, since you are willing to stay, then you can serve me. I heard that the Yuling Pool here is nice, I want to see it."

The leading maid said, "I understand, Your Majesty, please wait a moment."

After the group of maids left, Zhou Zhiruo said to Zhang Wuji, "Better be careful. We have just recaptured Dragon City. We don't know if there are any hidden assassins in this mansion."

Zhang Wuji looked at Zhou Zhiruo with admiration: "Zhiruo, your mind is much more delicate than before."

Zhou Zhiruo rolled her eyes at Zhang Wuji and said, "I was like this before, but after the Queen came into my family, I just felt too lazy to talk about some things."

Zhang Wuji could only smile awkwardly at such an answer.

Then he said to Zhou Zhiruo, "Zhiruo, you stay with your sister first. I will mobilize a team of soldiers to search this place inside and out."

…

After Zhang Wuji left, Zhou Zhiruo turned her gaze to Yang Buhui and Wei Xiangjun who were following not far away.

After being stunned for a moment, Yang Buhui quickly said: "Sister Zhou, sister Xiangjun and I spent the whole night outside the city. We were freezing and couldn't sleep at all. Now we are exhausted."

"If Sister Zhou and Sister Queen don't have any instructions, can we find a place to rest?"

Zhou Zhiruo nodded and said, "You guys go ahead. This mansion is very big. You can move into whichever room you like. You can make do with it today. If you feel you need something tomorrow, I will find a way to get it for you."

After Zhou Zhiruo had sent everyone away, Zhao Linger asked her with a smile, "Sister Zhiruo, you never played these little tricks before. Do you have anything to tell me today?"

Zhou Zhiruo sighed and said, "Sister, I know what you least want to hear right now is about Xiao Yuxiao."

"But I really can't help it and want to talk to you."

"Actually, your analysis just now was correct. Even if Zhao Min can really capture Jinyang, Xiao Yuxiao will not be in any danger."

"Don't forget, we both almost died at her hands back then, but in the end, she didn't kill us."

"There are some things I really couldn't say when Zhang Wuji was around. In fact, I had a feeling a long time ago. Don't look at Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min, as if they are fighting to the death, but in fact, neither of them dares to do it and really kill each other."

"You and I are living examples."

After hearing this, Zhao Linger couldn't help but nodded: "That's true. Zhao Min was willing to let me go back then. Even today, I still don't understand what happened?"

Zhou Zhiruo glanced around secretly, and then continued: "Sister, there are some things that not only you can't understand, but even I can't understand."

"Actually, before you got married, when I accompanied Zhang Wuji on the expedition, he had the opportunity to kill Zhao Min. I saw it all with my own eyes."

"But Zhang Wuji let her go at that time, so don't worry, neither Zhang Wuji nor Zhao Min has the intention to kill each other, so Zhao Min will definitely think twice before facing Xiao Yuxiao."

After listening to Zhou Zhiruo's words, Zhao Linger nodded slightly: "Sister, I actually feel that there seems to be some kind of tacit understanding between our young master and Zhao Min. They both want the other to die, there is no doubt about that, but they also seem not to want the other to die in their own hands."

"If Zhao Min is captured alive by you one day, you may not necessarily kill her."

…

After the two sisters exchanged a few heart-to-heart words, Zhao Linger felt a little relieved.

And at this moment, Zhang Wuji happened to turn back.

Zhang Wuji laughed and said, "Madams, you two are acting so furtively. Are you discussing some secret that should not be revealed?"

Zhao Linger said: "What are you talking about, sir? My sister Zhiruo and I don't have any secrets that cannot be revealed."

"We are just studying what you will do with Zhao Min after you catch her?"

Zhang Wuji said: "What is there to study about this matter? After I catch Zhao Min, I will hand her over to you two for disposal. When the time comes, you can kill her, chop her up, or sell her to a brothel, I will not say a word."

After saying this, Zhou Zhiruo looked at Zhao Linger meaningfully.

That look seemed to be saying, "What do you think? I told you that Zhang Wuji would not kill Zhao Min with his own hands."

Zhao Linger first nodded to Zhou Zhiruo, and then asked Zhang Wuji: "Young Master, a woman like Zhao Min is very rare in the world. In terms of appearance and aura, she is probably better than me and my sister Zhiruo."

"How could you associate such a remarkable woman with the word brothel? I really don't know what you are thinking."

Zhou Zhiruo said: "What else can I think? If Zhao Min was sold to a brothel by me, this villain would probably become Zhao Min's first customer."

After hearing this, Zhao Linger couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Zhang Wuji quickly said, "Zhiruo, you, you are going too far. Am I the kind of person you said I was?"

"With you guys by my side, I will never go to a place like a brothel in my life."

Zhou Zhiruo's face suddenly turned ugly, and she said to Zhang Wuji: "My enemy, what do you mean? You actually compare me and my sister with the girls in the brothel."

Just when Zhou Zhiruo was about to use this sentence as an excuse to teach Zhang Wuji a lesson, Zhao Linger hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, Sister Zhiruo, I believe the maids are ready. The three of us have been working so hard for so long, so let's take a comfortable bath."
