Chapter 354: Little Bastard
When Zhou Jianying used her identity to reunite the Zhou family army, she wanted to regroup and restore the reputation of the Zhou family army.
She admitted that General Huben was a product she created in a fit of rage, and that the refugees she took in and the Zhou family army were labeled as traitors because they were trying to protect some people in the northern border from being harassed.
But this does not mean that she really rebelled. If she really rebelled in anger, how could she be worthy of the ancestors of the Zhou family?
Not to mention, her father and two brothers were all framed, and Zhou Jianying must clear their names.
Her mother couldn't believe it, so all she could do now was to entrust the Zhou family army to someone who could be trusted, such as Zhou Yunqi who was now under Ji Sheng's command.
"The Zhou family army is not so easy to subjugate. Rather than disbanding them and mixing them into the Northern Border Army to weaken their strength, it is better to incorporate them into your army."
"You are a member of the Zhou family. They will listen to you. You have been around your father and brothers since you were a child. You know the Zhou Army as well as I do. If you want, you can use Ji Sheng to help the Zhou Army regain its former prestige."
Zhou Jianying said in a slightly grave tone, "Who knows, by then the Zhou family's grievances will be cleared up."
"Mother wrote to me saying that Ji Sheng is the strongest contender for the throne."
However, Ji Mingzhu never thought about supporting Ji Sheng. What she wanted to do was to make Ji Sheng suffer a big setback in the northern border.
What Zhou Jianying wanted to do was to take advantage of the fact that Ji Sheng had not yet ascended the throne, so as to quickly lead the Zhou family army to surrender. In this way, if Ji Sheng really ascended the throne in the future, at least their Zhou family could have the merit of following the dragon.
But who could have thought that Ji Sheng would directly put Zhou Beifang in prison.
What kind of place is Black Prison?
It was originally the place where Ji Sheng imprisoned criminal officials and traitors in the capital. Once someone entered the black prison, no one could come out alive.
This is also the reason why Zhou Jianying was so anxious at this time. She came here to surrender, not to fall into a trap.
"Didn't you come under Ji Sheng's command because you wanted to redeem the Zhou family from the injustice caused by the dragon's merit?"
Zhou Yunqi didn't know what to say, he really wasn't.
When he first came to the Northern Territory, he just wanted to investigate the truth behind the death of his grandfather and his men in battle. He was passively captured and joined Ji Sheng's Northern Territory Army, and because he was too outstanding, he was promoted to the position of captain.
Until now, he has never met Ji Sheng face to face, so he doesn't know whether Ji Sheng is aware of his existence.
"say."
Zhou Jianying looked at Zhou Yunqi who had been silent.
"If you don't speak up, we'll be at Prince Wei's mansion."
Zhou Yunqi: “…”
"You're serious."
"Or do you think I'm kidding you?"
Zhou Yunqi exhaled a breath of foul air and said, "I am just a lieutenant now. I have no right to enter or leave the Black Prison. As for the Prince of Wei's Mansion, you wait. I will find a chance to see him tomorrow."
"Then can you guarantee that Beifang won't be tortured tonight?"
"I can't!" Zhou Yunqi looked at Zhou Jianying, who only had Zhou Beifang in her heart and said, "I'm not Ji Sheng's brother-in-law now, I can't control him. I can only say that even if he is punished for a night, Zhou Beifang won't die with his physique!"
"It's not your man who was injured."
Zhou Yunqi's face turned pale as he listened to Zhou Jianying's murmurs. He pulled back the car curtain and yelled to the outside, "Go back to the brothel!"
Damn, his Yunshu is still hiding behind the screen in Haitangju!
…
When Zhou Yunshu heard Zhou Jianying's voice, she was stunned.
When Zhou Yunqi was taken away by Zhou Jianying and only she and Cao Zhengxing were left in Haitangju, she didn't know what to say.
What kind of bad luck was this? Especially when Cao Zhengxing said he had a guest, Zhou Yunshu felt a pang of fear, fearing that Cao Zhengxing had already discovered her, and that the so-called guest was herself hiding behind the screen.
But fortunately, Cao Zhengxing seemed to be really unaware that there was another person in Haitangju. Less than a quarter of an hour after Zhou Yunqi left, the door of Haitangju was opened again.
"grown ups."
It was a woman's voice.
"How's it going?"
The woman stood beside Cao Zhengxing and said to him nervously, "I am incompetent and didn't find the opportunity."
“Bang!”
It was the sound of a cup falling on the table, "You are a nanny, and you tell me you can't find an opportunity?"
With a thud, the nurse knelt on the ground and explained to Cao Zhengxing in panic, "There are eight nurses in the palace. Since His Highness brought the young master to the palace, only two of them have been able to see him. Those two were brought by His Highness from the capital."
"What about you? You're eating and drinking for free in the palace!"
The person who claimed to be the wet nurse didn't say anything, but that was the fact.
"The King of Wei is so busy, I don't believe he has that little bastard with him all the time."
The nurse looked at Cao Zhengxing and said, "According to what I have heard, the little prince is personally with him to sleep at night, and he watches over every meal. He even carries the little prince wherever he goes."
They were almost never apart.
Cao Zhengxing said in disbelief: "Hasn't he ever taken in a beautiful concubine at night?"
Cao Zhengxing knew that when the King of Wei left the capital, not only did the Crown Prince send him beauties, but even the King of Qi and others also sent him many.
When we left the capital, the carriage was full, but when we arrived in Youzhou, there was no one there.
"But there are indeed no beautiful concubines in the palace, and there are not even many maids."
There are quite a few old maids, but Ji Sheng is not usually seen.
"Everyone says that he has a beautiful daughter, Ji Sheng, who is hiding in a golden house. Is there no one in the palace who knows who the mother of that little bastard is?"
The wet nurse shook her head. Her previous companion was dragged out of the palace because he asked one too many questions. So she didn't dare to ask questions openly in the palace, for fear that she would be the next person to be dragged out.
"Since you can't see him, then go bribe and threaten someone who can see the little bastard. No matter what, I want to hear the news of his death as soon as possible."
The nanny looked at Cao Zhengxing, whose face was gloomy, and tried to make her face look somewhat confident. "Yes, sir."
After the wet nurse left, Cao Zhengxing drank a glass of wine, then stood up and pushed the door open to leave.
Although Zhou Yunshu was hiding behind the screen and was extremely worried about Pingping, she did not dare to walk out so blatantly, for fear that Cao Zhengxing, who was as cunning as a fishing net, was waiting for her outside the door.
Zhou Yunshu sat behind the screen and waited quietly. Seeing that half an hour had passed and no one had come to Haitangju, she finally stood up.
Just as she stood up and was about to walk to the door, the door of Haitangju was opened again, and Zhou Yunshu happened to meet the person who came in.
