The only sound left in the entire hall was the burning charcoal brazier, which occasionally emitted a slight sound.
Li Shengyi raised his hand with difficulty and patted the arm that was holding up his collar, then raised his head and gave the other person a smile that was uglier than crying.
"General Zhao, if I die, you will be in trouble."
After hearing what she said, Zhao Gan was startled at first and suddenly let go of the hand that was grabbing her collar.
Then a muffled "thump" sound was heard in the main room, accompanied by Li Shengyi's cry of pain.
"Damn, that hurts so much."
Zhao Gan didn't care where she was hurt. He squatted down in front of her, raised his hand to grab her chin, and forced her to look him in the eye. "Do you recognize me?"
Li Shengyi nodded. "You must be General Zhao who serves the Second Prince. I've heard of him."
"When Uncle Shen led his troops back from Jiangnan, he happened to run into your team and started fighting with you."
"Later, the entire team was captured, except for their leader, General Zhao."
"With Concubine Su's ability, she can't seduce other men, but she can seduce someone as ambitious as you."
In contrast, after Su Jinrou heard what she said, her eyes suddenly widened and she made as if she was about to hit someone.
Zhao Gan was much calmer.
Not long after Li Shengyi finished speaking, a smile suddenly appeared on his lips, and the fingers pinching her face tightened. "So, you know my purpose?"
Li Shengyi shook his head and nodded, "Rather than knowing yours, it's better to say I know Su Jinrou's."
She looked up at the furious Su Jinrou and continued, "She's going back to the palace. Let me guess, did she promise you that if you help her, she'll give you the throne, or some other important position?"
"Because she did the same to the Fifth Prince before."
In his early years, Zhao Gan was nearly beheaded, but was later rescued by the second prince and went to the northwest border to recruit troops.
This resulted in him being isolated from information from the outside world, and he didn't know much about what had happened in the capital over the years.
When he received the letter from the second prince, he was already on his way to the capital. When he arrived in the capital with his troops, he happened to run into another group of people.
He was nearly beheaded by the enemy, so he fled on horseback at night and hid in the mountains for a long time before daring to show up.
During this period, he also entered the Black Wind Village and relied on his courage to defeat the man who was formerly the leader and now the second in command.
He was preparing to start over again, and one night when he was about to go to the capital, he picked up Su Jinrou on the roadside.
He had not returned to Beijing for a long time, and after returning he was busy escaping death. All he knew about the changes in Beijing over the years came from Su Jinrou.
Su Jinrou told him that she did not want to be buried in the imperial mausoleum, so she bribed the craftsmen who built the mausoleum and escaped from it.
Su Jinrou also told him that the new emperor had just ascended the throne and was in decline, so it was the best time to attack. But to be on the safe side, it would be best to grasp the weak spot of Qin Songmo, the most treacherous and cunning man in Da Chu.
In this way, even if they forced the palace, they had Qin Songmo's weak spot in their hands, and the entire Chu Palace would definitely not be their match.
Although Zhao Gan didn't quite believe that a child could become Qin Songmo's weakness, for some reason he still sent someone to capture Li Shengyi.
Now after listening to what Li Shengyi said, he frowned, and his face, which was already scarred, looked even more ferocious.
"What's the meaning?"
Feeling someone pulling his arm, Zhao Gan pulled it back impatiently.
He raised his head and met Su Jinrou's tearful eyes.
The latter's lips were crimson, with a few teeth marks on them, which he had just left.
Thinking that the person in front of him was the late emperor's concubine, and the most favored one, the man suddenly felt a sense of pride and complacency in his heart.
"Don't worry, Rou'er. I won't believe her just because of a few words. Go back and have a good rest. I'll come back to see you later."
Zhao Gan's deliberately gentle tone did not make Su Jinrou turn around and leave.
She knew too well how capable the child in front of her was.
She bit her lower lip lightly, shook her head, and pleaded, "Boss, can you please hand her over to me?"
"I have known her for a long time and know her weaknesses best. When you, the head of the family, lead your troops into the capital, I will definitely make the Prime Minister of Great Chu kneel before you."
Zhao Gan was moved.
He had been depressed in the northwest border for a long time, otherwise he would not have secretly led his troops to the capital when the second prince was about to give up him as a chess piece.
Even though the second prince wanted to use him again later, he only realized after entering the capital that the capital was even more dangerous than the northwest.
Having escaped death, he was holding his breath, and all he thought about all day was how to vent all the anger he had suffered before.
Fortunately, the appearance of Su Jinrou greatly satisfied his psychological and physiological needs.
However, this was not enough. Soon after he got the woman of the previous emperor, his appetite grew and he wanted more.
So soon after Su Jinrou finished speaking, he nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll leave her to you."
"Don't kill her, otherwise, as she said, Qin Songmo will not let us off easily."
Seeing him nod in agreement, Su Jinrou's smile became even more gentle, "Of course, I'm not such a tactless person."
The two of them discussed things back and forth, and they didn't forget to exchange glances during the discussion.
When Li Shengyi saw this scene, the villain in her heart rolled her eyes in anger, but the words she said made Zhao Gan stop.
"No way, no way! Such a huge village actually listens to a woman. General Zhao, did you grow up eating gigolo food?"
The main room, which had just been quiet for a short while, fell into silence again in an instant.
Soon, Li Shengyi heard a burst of hurried footsteps ringing in his ears.
The next moment, another big hand grabbed her collar and lifted her up from the ground.
Facing Zhao Gan with a dark face, Li Shengyi bared his teeth at him.
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong? A strong and powerful general like General Zhao wouldn't be defeated by a woman's sweet talk, right?"
"What's more, she's a useless woman. If it weren't for her, the Second Prince might have already sat on the throne, and General Zhao, you might have become a true general."
Li Shengyi's teasing not only made Zhao Gan's face as black as the bottom of a pot.
Even Su Jinrou was so angry that she jumped up and down, "Li Shengyi, I will definitely kill you!!!"
Li Shengyi, his feet in the air, turned his head to look at her, "Calm down, Concubine Su, don't be so irritable."
"Look at you. You've even got some fine lines around your eyes because you've been so violent. If you keep going like this, how are you going to seduce General Zhao with your beauty and get him to work for you?"
