Chapter 288 Big Appetite
Looking at the army surrounding the Cui family, passersby asked, "What's going on?"
"I heard that the Cui family colluded with others and took advantage of the caravan to smuggle many assassins in. Today, he brought the assassins to assassinate Madam Lu. If Madam Lu didn't have the help of the divine tiger, I'm afraid he would have succeeded." The people that Jiang Tangtang had arranged early in the morning pretended to be spectators and stood in the crowd to spread the news.
When the onlookers heard that someone was going to harm Madam Lu, who had saved them from danger, they were immediately furious. "This Mr. Cui usually looks like a decent person, but I didn't expect him to have such a vicious mind. He actually wanted to assassinate Madam Lu. He deserves to die."
The people cursed the Cui family.
Some people also raised the question of why the Cui family wanted to assassinate Jiang Tangtang when they were doing well.
At this time, someone pretending to be a bystander once again acted mysterious and knew the inside story. "I heard that those people's kung fu is very high. They look like masters trained in the palace. I'm afraid Master Cui is just doing someone else's work."
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like dropping a drop of water into a boiling oil pan, and the crowd exploded even more violently.
Who could command the masters trained in the palace? Who else but the emperor?
And apart from the Emperor of the Great Zhou, who else would have a problem with the Lu family?
Some people cursed the Emperor of the Great Zhou as a beast. Instead of treating the disaster properly and finding ways to drive out the Western Rong thieves who were harming the people of the Great Zhou, he actually sent people to assassinate their wife in a sneaky way. He was so shameless and didn't behave like an emperor at all.
Some people began to panic. The Emperor of the Great Zhou sent people to kill Jiang Tangtang. Is this going to be a war?
So will they still have peaceful days?
Many people felt sorry for Jiang Tangtang and Lu Shiyan.
They had no desire to take over the Great Zhou, much less to rebel. They were simply too kindhearted to bear the suffering of the common people, and so they devoted themselves to helping the refugees.
They had no choice but to occupy Lingnan. The Emperor of the Great Zhou did nothing and did not care about the lives of the people. If they did not occupy the land, how could they resettle the people?
Thinking that if a war broke out, their finally peaceful days would be gone, the people were furious and cursed the Emperor of the Great Zhou as a beast.
Of course, some of these remarks were directed by people arranged by Jiang Tangtang.
Anyway, no matter when a war breaks out, the blame for the war will be placed on others, and she will not bear the resentment of the people after the war.
The capture of the Cui family and other prominent families involved in Jiang Tangtang's assassination caused quite a stir in Lingnan, but things soon calmed down. The people continued to worry about food and water.
However, during this thorough investigation, Jiang Tangtang discovered something different.
It seems that the Western Rong also had some influence on this.
Why were the people sent by the Emperor of the Great Zhou so careless in their actions that she easily saw through their identities and captured them?
Ultimately, the Western Rong did not want the Great Zhou Emperor's plan to succeed, but they also wanted Lingnan and the Great Zhou to go to war so that they could reap the benefits and take over all the territory of the Great Zhou and Lingnan at the same time.
After Jiang Tangtang figured it out, she couldn't help but sneer, "What a big appetite!"
Lu Shiyan walked out with his wet hair loose. Seeing Jiang Tangtang sitting at the desk with a frosty face, he couldn't help but ask, "Who has such a big appetite?"
Jiang Tangtang turned around and her face turned red instantly.
The man's black hair was loose, his clothes were open, revealing his strong muscles. The water droplets on his hair dripped down his body, soaking his half-open clothes.
Although he was wearing clothes, he looked even more lustful than without clothes.
Coupled with that handsome face that looked like a banished immortal, Jiang Tangtang was almost dead.
She pretended to be disgusted and said, "Why didn't you wipe your hair before coming out? It's wet everywhere and has made the floor dirty."
As he spoke, he threw a cloth to her and asked about the Western Rong to divert his attention. "Do you know the commander who led the Western Rong troops to attack the Great Zhou?"
Lu Shiyan took the towel and wiped his hair while answering her question, "Qi Hongshen, who led the troops to attack the Great Zhou this time, is the third prince of the Western Rong. He's young, but brave and fierce, and he's long had ambitions to annex the Great Zhou..."
Jiang Tangtang couldn't bear to see him treating his hair like straw, so she stood up, took a towel, helped him wipe his hair, and asked about the situation of the Xirong royal family.
Feeling her movements, Lu Shiyan's eyes dimmed slightly, his throat tightened a little, and he tried to calm his breath and answer her questions seriously.
"The Xirong royal family has three princes, but they are all born of the same mother. Unlike the princes of the Great Zhou, who are scheming and fighting to the death for the throne, the Xirong princes have strong ties to each other and are not easy to exploit."
Jiang Tangtang was a little disappointed, but not discouraged. She didn't believe that she couldn't find the other party's shortcomings, so she fought back.
Lu Shiyan then remembered to ask, "Why are you suddenly asking about Xirong?"
Jiang Tangtang showed Lu Shiyan the documents on the table. "This is what Yuan Sanxin found out during the interrogation. I didn't expect Xirong to get involved in this matter."
Lu Shiyan put away all his thoughts and read the contents of the document carefully. After a moment, he said, "The Western Rong wants us to go to war with the Great Zhou as soon as possible, and the Great Zhou wants us to attack the Western Rong."
Jiang Tangtang raised her chin in anger, "That's right, but we won't fall for their tricks."
Lu Shiyan was amused by her cuteness and raised his hand to pinch her face, like teasing a child, "Okay, we won't fall for their tricks."
Jiang Tangtang felt a little embarrassed by his tone, "I was just kidding, don't take it seriously. This is a big deal..."
"I think what you said makes sense."
Lu Shiyan looked at her with a smile, and the dry air seemed to suddenly become moist as they stared at each other. Jiang Tangtang, however, felt her throat dry.
She suddenly didn't want to care about the war and the drought, she wanted to do something to make herself happy.
She thought so and actually did it.
When he felt the soft and fragrant lips touching him, the self-control that Lu Shiyan was proud of instantly collapsed.
He exerted a little force and pulled the person into his arms.
Jiang Tangtang quickly went from being active to being passive.
Things got out of control in an instant.
The person opposite her seemed to have turned into a hungry wolf, wanting to tear her into pieces and swallow her.
Jiang Tangtang felt as if someone suddenly lifted her up into the air and carried her into the inner room.
Jiang Tangtang's hazy head slowly came to her senses. After realizing his intentions, she suddenly panicked. She kicked her feet and struggled, "It's not dark yet..."
The man paused slightly, then changed direction while holding her, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'll go lock the door."
Jiang Tangtang: “…”
Is it about locking the door?
Also, could she put her down before locking the door?
The key point is, "All the officials in the General Staff Office are waiting for you to discuss matters!"
result……
If this gets out, won't she be shameless?
