How did it come to this?
Of course it’s because he got the cannon fodder script!
If he hadn't driven the man to Jiangnan so early, this man would probably not be much better than him.
When the time comes, cannon fodders will meet each other and they will only sympathize with each other. How can he have the chance to gloat over other people's misfortune?
However, Tang Yu also expressed his understanding. After all, the third place winner did not have a God's perspective and naturally did not know Huo Cenji's identity.
But...how did this person appear here?
Tang Yu's doubtful eyes wandered over Zhao Yuanqi's body, and the handsome man seemed to see the surprise in Tang Yu's eyes, so he kindly explained:
"Your Majesty, why is this curious minister here?"
The young man's long tone slowly stretched out, reminding Tang Yu word by word:
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten my father?"
Oh, that stuffy old man?
Of course not.
Zhao Yuanqi's father was indeed a veteran of three dynasties, but in the end he seemed to be trapped by the huge Zhao family. Not only did he repeatedly write letters to oppose the reform, he also tried to maintain the Zhao family's transcendent status. Not only did he attack the poor families in private, but he also allowed the Zhao family to expand its influence.
Until one year, Huo Cenji found out that the Zhao family had embezzled money for disaster relief. He then took advantage of the situation to suppress the Zhao family and eliminate the bad habits of the family.
As for the veteran of three dynasties, he was naturally asked to go back and enjoy his remaining years.
Why did Zhao Yuanqi bring this up?
Could it be that he held a grudge against him, so he wanted to take his father's share of the blame as well?
Tang Yu still had a hint of inquiry in his eyes, but he said calmly,
"Of course I remember."
"I will always remember Mr. Zhao's contribution to Daqi."
Since someone has come to his door, Tang Yu naturally has to say a few words to make Zhao Yuanqi feel at ease.
As expected, Zhao Yuanqi's expression softened after hearing these words. He stared at Tang Yu for a long time with his hands folded before snorting coldly:
"I'm glad Your Majesty knows!"
Then, Zhao Yuanqi's words brought up the past grudges:
"If that's the case, why does Your Majesty value the Huo family more? And Huo Cenji more? Your Majesty clearly knows that joining forces with the Zhao family is the safest option!"
"Now Huo Cenji has become so ambitious that he has trapped Your Majesty here. Do you feel any regret?"
Tang Yu: “…”
During the moment of his silence, Zhao Yunqi finally and slowly revealed the purpose of his visit:
"Since Huo Cenji is so ambitious about taking over Daqi, why can't my Zhao family do the same?"
"Speaking of which, my Zhao family was originally a founding hero! Why can't we sit in that position?"
Tang Yu: Crazy, really crazy.
He looked at Zhao Yuanqi with a puzzled expression, and then said carefully:
"Are you joking, my dear?"
Otherwise, how could he dare to say anything?
Zhao Yuanqi's handsome features darkened a little, and he then responded to Tang Yu's words with a smile:
"Your Majesty will soon know whether I am joking or not, because——"
When Zhao Yuanqi paused slightly, a figure flashed behind him and attacked Tang Yu's neck with a swift movement.
As Tang Yu's body suddenly fell, Zhao Yuanqi said the second half of his sentence with a sigh:
"If it weren't for the Zhao family, how could Your Majesty exist today?"
The Zhao family played this game of chess for twenty years before it was finally time to withdraw.
It was worth it for them to keep a low profile for so long.
Zhao Yuanqi nodded to the men in black, indicating that they could go and bring Tang Yu over.
The assassins hiding in the dark frowned when they saw the little emperor being helped up by two men in black.
We can't let them take people away!
The assassin didn't hesitate and jumped down from a high place in an instant. The black figure immediately entangled with the two men in black.
As long as we delay a little, we won't give them the chance to take the person away.
Their figures, as swift as afterimages, tangled together, making it difficult to discern their movements. Perhaps considering the immovable presence of Tang Yu, they tacitly avoided using hidden weapons, instead engaging in a duel of fists and kicks.
But in the end they were outnumbered. A man in black took advantage of the assassin's unpreparedness and hit him on the back. The assassin immediately spit out blood and had to take two steps back.
Just when the two men in black were about to kill them, Zhao Yuanqi stopped them with a smile.
"Leave him alive, otherwise how will Huo Cenji know that I'm back?"
"yes!"
The man in black naturally obeyed the order and no longer paid attention to the fallen warrior. Instead, he turned around and helped Tang Yu up.
"Put another cloth over his eyes."
To be on the safe side, Zhao Yuanqi gave another warning to the two men in black.
So one of the men in black supported Tang Yu, and the other one took off the hairband behind Tang Yu and covered Tang Yu's already closed eyes.
The hairband was pulled off, and Tang Yu's loose black hair fell on her body like a waterfall.
At that moment, even Zhao Yuanqi was stunned for a moment.
He lowered his eyes and murmured something incomprehensible between his lips and teeth:
"Your Majesty is indeed as beautiful as his mother..."
"Sir! Our people should have arrived at the secret passage to meet us." The black-clothed man's low and hoarse voice pulled Zhao Yuanqi back to his senses. His eyes darkened and he replied briefly:
"Well, let's go."
"Otherwise they should really come..."
As soon as Zhao Yuanqi finished speaking, a door suddenly appeared on the wall of the innermost room of the bedroom.
A moment later, as the secret door slowly closed, Zhao Yuanqi and his party disappeared into the bedroom.
