The next second, Xie Ji suddenly stood up, pressed him against the bedpost, and said with a half-smile: "National Master, what do you mean?"
Zhong Changyao: "..."
For the first time, Zhong Changyao felt like running away.

[Host, something big has happened to Peanut! ! ]
Xie Shizhu was still having a secret meeting with Zhou Gong in the wooden barrel when he was immediately awakened by a startling exclamation from the system.
"What peanuts? Fried peanuts?"
System: […I give in! It’s Zhong Changyao who’s looking for you. He ran into Xie Ji!]
Xie Shizhu thought for a moment and said, "Ah? How could he run into Xie Ji when he was looking for me?"
The system remained silent.
But Xie Shizhu soon figured it out.
This guy actually exchanged rooms with Ming Ruzhen.
In order to prevent the two men from tearing down the inn, Xie Shizhu quickly got out of the water. Without even having time to wipe the water off his body, he put on a thin nightgown and rushed to his room.
She pushed open the door and saw the happy scene inside, and was stunned.
Xie Ji was sitting on a chair, holding a teacup in his hand.
Zhong Changyao quickly added water to Xie Ji's glass.
Xie Shizhu: “???”
Zhong Changyao turned to look at Xie Shizhu, his expression slightly stiff.
He suddenly remembered what Xie Shizhu had said before in order to protect Xie Ji. That night, she and Xie Ji were on the same couch.
Originally, he thought that this was just a lie told by Xie Shizhu to rescue Xie Ji.
But now he wasn't sure.
Xie Shizhu asked in disbelief: "You guys?"
Xie Ji took a sip of tea, looked him up and down, and then yanked down the curtain on the window frame.
The next second, he put down the teacup, stood up and draped the curtain over Xie Shizhu.
Then he answered the woman, "Royal sister, Zhong Changyao came to see you. As your younger brother, of course I have to entertain this guest with great hospitality."
Xie Ji emphasized the word "guest" a little more deliberately.
Zhong Changyao pretended to be calm, but his fingertips gripping the teapot tightened.
Xie Shizhu nodded, tightened the curtain around her body, and echoed: "My little brother has grown up, and my sister is very pleased."
The two of them sang in unison, as if they were the closest people.
Ling Zhong Changyao couldn't stay any longer.
He slowly stood up and said, "Since Your Majesty is safe outside the palace, I am relieved and will not disturb you any longer."
Then, no one kept him.
Zhong Changyao had no choice but to leave the house.
As soon as he left, Xie Shizhu quickly closed the door and asked in disbelief, "I thought you were going to..."
Before she could finish her words, the man interrupted her in a low voice: "You want to kill him?"
Xie Shizhu was stunned and nodded.
Xie Ji's thin lips curled slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes: "Don't worry, sister, I know you like Zhong Changyao, so I won't hurt him."
After saying this, Xie Ji looked at her deeply, walked past her and went out.
Xie Shizhu turned her head to look at Xie Ji's back which was getting farther and farther away, and she frowned slightly.
If Xie Ji had said this in the past, she would have thought it was nothing.
But now my heart feels tight and I feel very uncomfortable.
Why does she like Zhong Changyao?
I don’t understand, is Xie Ji blind?
Suddenly, Xie Shizhu thought of a long time ago, when she first came to this world, Xie Ji hid behind the screen, and Zhong Changyao came and said that he was willing to be one of his concubines.
Xie Shizhu pinched his eyebrows. This was a huge misunderstanding.

When Zhong Changyao left the inn, he ran into Zhuo Ping who was dying.
He was pale and covered in blood.
Zhong Changyao looked at him and asked, "Did you kill them?"
At this moment, he was not worried about Zhuo Ping's injury, but was only concerned about the plan.
Because in Zhong Changyao's eyes, no matter who he trains, the end result is that the person will work for him.
Zhuo Ping's breathing was intermittent: "Master, I failed to kill him. There were traps all around. I couldn't get close at all."
Zhong Changyao's face darkened.
Zhuo Ping quickly added, "But don't worry, Master. I killed someone and someone saw me."
Zhong Changyao's expression improved slightly.
Zhuo Ping asked, "Master, did Xie Shizhu die under your sword?"
Zhong Changyao: "..."
Zhuo Ping was about to celebrate the traitor's death, but the next second, Zhong Changyao said, "No, when I put my sword to Xie Shizhu's neck, Xie Ji appeared. I was worried about my identity being exposed, so I quickly escaped through the window."
Hearing this, Zhuo Ping seemed a little bit unconvinced. After all, his master was a martial arts expert and had never failed.
But he soon figured it out, Xie Ji was also very skilled in martial arts.
It seems that Master is not as powerful as Xie Ji.
Zhuo Ping smiled in understanding: "It's okay, Xie Ji's martial arts are indeed unmatched, and Master can't do anything about it. Next time, I'll have to find a time when Xie Ji is not around."
Zhong Changyao tightened the fingers hanging on both sides.
What's the meaning?
Is he not as good as Xie Ji?
He didn't have time to think about it and could only take Zhuo Ping to heal his injuries.
While recovering from his injuries, Zhuo Ping told Zhong Changyao that Fan Zhi and Fan Miaozhou had also come out of the Yue Kingdom Palace.
Because the Emperor and Empress of Fan State heard about the cooperation between the two countries, they came to see Xie Shizhu and his two children.
Hearing this, Zhong Changyao's eyes turned cold.
He said that he was familiar with the Emperor of Fan State and knew his ambitions.
As for Fan Miaozhou, that was an accident.
I would have thought he was a very good chess piece, but I didn't expect him to help Xie Shizhu in times of need again and again.
Now, he can meet with the Emperor of Fan State, which means that everything can return to the original plan.
