When Lin Zao heard Li Zheng suddenly mention her, she had a bad feeling.
Before she could reply to Li Zheng, the dancers in the room began to move.
With seductive movements, they unbuttoned their clothes, slowly leaving only their bodices and underpants, and then, barefoot, began to dance an erotic dance.
Every gesture, every step, every glance—all exuded a subtle allure.
According to Lin Zao, this level of explicitness is simply not enough in modern times, but for these conservative ancient people, even a small touch of hands would be a matter of life and death. Nowadays, this kind of explicitness is simply the ultimate temptation.
The audience was thrilled, their eyes gleaming like wolves as they stared intently at the dancer's exposed skin; some nearly lost their composure on the spot.
What left Lin Zao speechless was that one of the girls, who looked the most innocent and beautiful, actually moved closer to her.
The girl stared intently at Lin Zao, her eyes reddening, looking utterly pitiful. If Lin Zao were the male lead, he probably would have felt a pang of sympathy and wanted to comfort the beauty.
Unfortunately, she was a woman.
Lin Zao sipped his tea with a cool and expressionless face, ignoring the beauty's special attention.
The beauty's expression became even more pitiful, with tears welling up in her eyes.
"Brother Wang, please accept this beauty. Don't let Lord Li's kindness go to waste..."
Huang Xiaohu, who was standing next to Lin Zao, couldn't bear to see the beauty shed tears. He wished he could take her into his arms and comfort her, but unfortunately, the beauty only had eyes for her brother.
"I'm sorry, but I have a shrewish wife at home, and it's really hard for me to enjoy it. If you like her, Brother Huang, you can try to win her over yourself," Lin Zao replied to Huang Xiaohu in a calm tone.
Li Zheng and his steward, who were seated at the head of the table, sneered inwardly when they saw Lin Zao's indifferent attitude towards the beauty.
They thought Lin Zao might be pretending not to be interested in the beauties because she was embarrassed, and that she might be a hypocrite behind their backs. They also thought that they hadn't noticed that she had been staring at the sensitive parts of the dancers' bodies.
However, if he were that kind of person, it would suit their tastes perfectly.
To understand why Li Zheng is so interested in Lin Zao, we have to go back to the time when Lin Zao saved his son.
When Lin Zao killed the bandits who robbed his son, he had the steward give him some silver, and then he didn't care anymore.
However, after interrogating the robbers, he learned that Lin Zao had used a very mysterious weapon to kill the robber who was holding his son.
After having the cause of death of the robber examined, and combining this with the confessions of the remaining two robbers, Li Zheng guessed that Lin Zao must possess a very sophisticated weapon that could be worn on the wrist and used at will.
The weapon was incredibly fast, and it used small, exquisite arrows, but its power was no less than that of the bows and arrows they used. The key was that it was easy to carry.
Li Zheng thought that if he obtained such a weapon and presented it to his cousin, the Second Prince, his position would be even more secure.
Therefore, he used his power to search for Wang Lin, who was the incarnation of Lin Zao.
Unfortunately, there was no news for a long time. Unexpectedly, a few days ago, the butler suddenly returned and told him that he had found a man named Wang Lin.
They even used the prefect's name to invite Wang Lin to join them on a treasure hunt. Although Wang Lin didn't agree immediately, the steward instructed someone to accompany him in case he disappeared again.
Fortunately, Lin Zao arrived at the prefect's residence on time.
In order to obtain Lin Zao's secret weapon, Li Zheng and his steward resorted to a honey trap, after all, this is the most effective and timeless tactic.
Regardless of the strategy, as long as it works, that's all that matters. And now it seems they didn't make a mistake.
Lin Zao had no idea what the prefect was thinking; she was now speechless at the dancer's antics.
When the dancer saw that Lin Zao didn't respond, she walked directly in front of Lin Zao and was about to throw herself into her arms.
