Chapter 97 Force You to Go to Beijing



Chapter 97 Force You to Go to Beijing

Jiang Jiu drank another glass of wine and sighed softly.

"You have the heart but not the courage. Why don't you let me help you?"

Lu Yunyang pondered for a long time, and suddenly asked, "What do you want?"

This is what he has figured out, and he is finally going to rebel.

Yes, there are those who kill thieves from a thousand miles away, and there are those who guard against thieves from a thousand miles away. The best defense is to take the initiative to attack.

Jiang Jiu smiled happily this time, leaned forward, and lifted Lu Yunyang's chin with his slender fingers: "I want you."

Lu Yunyang narrowed his eyes slightly, grabbed Jiang Jiu's hand, his peach blossom eyes were blurred.

"Help me become the emperor, and you will be the queen."

Jiang Jiu was satisfied this time. He broke free from Lu Yunyang's claws and pushed him away.

"Think it over carefully. I've said before that if you want to be my husband, you can't have other women. Otherwise, I will only be widowed, not divorced."

Lu Yunyang took a deep breath and said, "As long as you are willing, my heart will only belong to you."

Jiang Jiu smiled faintly, raised his glass, and clinked it lightly with Lu Yunyang.

"make a deal."

When the news of the assassination of Princess Qiyang reached the capital, Zhao Zhuoxi received an urgent imperial edict from the capital. (Lu Yunyang changed his name back to Zhao Zhuoxi, and will be used in the following text)

Let him take Qi Yang's body and return to Beijing immediately.

But there is no mention of the murderer throughout the article.

Both Zhao Zhuoxi and Jiang Jiu knew in their hearts that the emperor really regarded him as the murderer.

As a person who has been ill for a long time and is weak and delicate, Zhao Zhuoxi was not in a hurry to return to Beijing.

Instead, he had a luxurious carriage prepared, almost emptied the palace, and had all the guards and maids follow.

He said that the further they got to the capital, the colder it got, and that he was too weak to bear it, so he asked the carriage to go slower, keep warm on the road, and eat better food along the way.

It took a full month just to prepare for this, and by the time we actually set off, it was already the end of November.

In fact, Jiang Jiu and Zhao Zhuoxi had already left Sucheng in an ordinary carriage.

Jiang Jiu did not bring many people with her to Beijing this time. She left Ye Gucheng in Sucheng to help her take care of the business. Xiao Yimo and Chu Yu each had their own things to do.

Qing only brought Zhao Li, Nanny Qian, and the maid Xia Zhi.

Zhao Zhuoxi didn't bring many people with him, only Lu Ming and Nishang. Lu Ming's brother Lu An was sent to the military camp to continue recruiting soldiers and horses.

Gu Chengyan stayed in the palace and was in charge of various business matters.

The two of them disguised themselves as an ordinary businessman couple and went to Beijing to celebrate the New Year with their family at the end of the year.

There were seven people in the group, with six horse-drawn carriages, three carrying people and three carrying goods. Apart from the drivers, only Zhao Li and Lu Ming were holding swords and riding horses.

Compared with the King of Qi's carriage, it is ordinary and common.

However, Jiang Jiu found an acquaintance among the six drivers.

"Master Yiyun, you are not dead..."

There's no way. Being too handsome is not a good thing. Even if you wear tattered clothes, you will look different from the crowd.

Master Yiyun quickly knelt on one knee to apologize to Zhao Zhuoxi, but Zhao Zhuoxi waved his hands.

"Don't worry about it. She's teasing you on purpose. She already guessed that you're mine."

Indeed, the six rickshaw drivers were all Zhao Zhuoxi's men.

Jiang Jiu jumped onto the carriage. After their identities were exposed, neither of them pretended anymore. She leaned on the couch, even more lazy than Zhao Zhuoxi.

"You have a lot of aliases. Is Cangjiu yours, too? You collect all kinds of information about court officials. In addition to Miss Nishang's Hua Man Lou, there is also Cangjiu. On the surface, it is a killer organization, but in fact it searches for information for you and does all kinds of shady things."

Zhao Zhuoxi was cracking melon seeds and drinking tea while listening to Jiang Jiu's story.

This girl is indeed smart. Nichang has been with him for more than ten years and she didn't know anything about Cangjiu.

Jiang Jiu guessed it right away. I don’t know what’s going on in her brain.

"How did you guess it?" Lu Yunyang wanted to know his flaws so that he wouldn't tell the emperor about it in the capital.

Jiang Jiu spread his hands and said, "Make bold guesses and verify carefully. Think about it, you were just a playboy of the Lu family. How could you suddenly become the ninth prince, the King of Qi? Nothing is impossible."

"Prince Qi is so young, but he was able to escape from the dragon's den and tiger's den of the imperial palace. It's very unusual. Entering Sucheng is your own fiefdom. If you don't do something, will the emperor and empress eat you up?"

Zhao Zhuoxi is not a person who sits and waits for death.

Besides, a person who sits and waits for death will not live that long.

Besides, isn’t that how it’s written in novels? Hidden stakes, spies, and a top-notch master.

The talented scholar of Langya is surrounded by such people.

Jiang Jiu was just guessing according to the routine. She happened to have such people under her command. She would know the truth after verifying it later.

Zhao Zhuoxi had no idea how she knew that. He added a piece of charcoal to the stove and stuffed it into Jiang Jiu's arms.

"What are your plans when you get to the capital?"

Speaking of the capital, Jiang Jiu's mood was not so good.

"Jiang Mingyue used my identity, and I used hers. She can handle it better, and after using her identity, I won't have to go into the Chang family."

I don't have to go to the Chang family and avoid a lot of trouble.

"I will complete my mission if I can find out where my mother is and the murderer who killed her. As for the rest, I have to inspect and take over all the businesses in the capital, so I will be very busy."

Jiang Jiu's meaning should not be too obvious.

You are the ninth prince, you should handle your own affairs. I am very busy, please don't bother me.

Zhao Zhuoxi heard it clearly and was so angry that his chest ached.

Okay, okay, let’s play this, right?

When he arrived in the capital, he was the ninth prince.

By then, Jiang Jiu, a little girl, will not be able to escape from his clutches.

"Okay, you are busy, you are busy, but don't forget that you are my concubine."

Jiang Jiu smiled, and was very happy.

"Your concubine? My current name is Jiang Mingyue, and I am the daughter of County Magistrate Jiang. My late husband Chang Zhili, when we get to the capital, you have to call me Madam Chang."

Zhao Zhuoxi actually forgot about this matter.

He patted his forehead and said, "Okay, you can pretend to be a widow. I will ask for your permission to marry you, a widow."

The two started arguing as soon as they got in the car. Jiang Jiu lifted the car curtain and saw that they had just left Sucheng.

I remember when I was a kid, I had to take a very long boat ride, and it took three or four days to get to Suzhou. Now if I want to go to Beijing, I’m afraid it will take another three or four days to get to the Grand Canal.

When we got to the Grand Canal, we took another boat ride, and it took a long time to reach the capital.

Jiang Jiu decided to live in peace with Zhao Zhuoxi. After all, he was the ninth prince, and if anything really happened in the capital, he would have to take care of it.

"Okay, I'm just kidding. We've already signed a contract. I'll always be your partner no matter when or where. Let's have a pleasant cooperation."

Jiang Jiuchong stretched out his soft little hand towards Zhao Zhuoxi.

Zhao Zhuoxi narrowed his eyes slightly: "What tricks are you thinking of now?"

Jiang Jiu smiled. As expected, her little thoughts could not be hidden from Zhao Zhuoxi.

"No big deal. Let's stay at the Yue Lai Inn in Sui County tonight."

Zhao Zhuoxi raised his eyebrows: "Why?"

Scenes from her childhood emerged in Jiang Jiu's mind. She and Nanny Qian escaped from the capital with great difficulty. They met some kind people on the way, but also some bad people.

Sui County was their last stop before entering Suzhou City, but they didn't expect that they would almost lose their lives here.

"Because he is a black shop..."
