Chapter 19: Recognize the master? Or cling to the thigh?
Li Wuyang said calmly, "You chose the wrong person by choosing a paralytic as your master. There's nothing I can do."
Yun Zheng's eyes fell on his legs. Is it really okay to lie with your eyes closed? "You can help me kill Pingxi Houfu."
Li Wuyang was slightly surprised. Why didn't he ask for his love rival to be killed? Did he no longer expect to have a harmonious relationship with the prince?
"The Marquis of Pingxi can only be replaced, not killed."
Yun Zheng was stunned. "Uh, why?"
Li Wuyang sat by the window, his expression as indifferent as snow. "The founding emperor once promised that the Pingxi Marquisate would share the country's weal and woe, and the Marquisate has a red-lettered iron certificate of immunity from death."
Yun Zheng was stunned. "Sharing the same country and sharing weal and woe? Red seal and iron certificate? How come I've never heard of this?"
These are all life-saving talismans. What kind of extraordinary achievements did the first generation of Pingxi Marquis accomplish?
The problem is, she has been imprisoned in the Marquis' Mansion for ten years and doesn't know this information. Is this normal?
As the master of the Mingjing Division, Li Wuyang knew too many secrets, "There are many more you don't know."
Yun Zheng fell silent. This was the information gap caused by class differences.
Li Wuyang watched her expression change back and forth, like a palette of colors, and found it interesting. "Do you still want to wipe out the Marquis' Mansion?"
Yun Zheng felt bitter in her heart because the enemy was too powerful, but it also completely aroused her fighting spirit. She dared to dethrone the emperor even at the risk of her life!
"Think! Kill them all!"
Li Wuyang's eyes were heavy, "To do something knowing it's impossible is foolish."
Yun Zheng held her head high, a look of determination on her face. "Even if there are tens of thousands of people, I will go ahead. I will not regret it even if I die nine times. Please help me, Nine Thousand Years Old Man."
Even if it goes against the will of heaven, she will still fight for it.
Li Wuyang looked at her steadily. She had a desperate and courageous look.
After a long moment, he said, "This king hates betrayal the most."
Yun Zheng spoke without hesitation, "If the master does not doubt, the subject will not abandon him."
This is a little sly guy, he has prerequisites, not just blind loyalty.
I am a minister, not a slave! It's all about tricks!
But, this is exactly what Li Wuyang wants. There is no eternal loyalty. It all depends on whether the loyalty is worth it.
"Don't forget what you said tonight, otherwise..." He raised his eyebrows, his tone extremely cold, "Your family will be confiscated and your entire clan will be exterminated."
This was considered as acceptance of Yun Zheng's surrender. She felt relieved and performed a solemn ceremony.
The Yun family always has to choose a backer, so it doesn’t matter who they choose.
Logically, the best choice is the current emperor, but, firstly, it is difficult to get close to him, secondly, he is very suspicious and difficult to serve. Thirdly, for some reason, his suppression of women is far greater than that of the previous dynasty.
Even if she had a lot of abilities, she would only be disliked and restless by the king.
Then, why not the Ninth Thousand Years Old? He has a high position and great authority.
Acknowledge the master? Or it could be clinging to someone's thighs!
Li Wuyang raised his hand, and Yun Zheng stood up, his eyes rolling slightly. "Are you injured? I have some excellent medicine here, do you want it?"
She had a very sensitive nose and could already smell the blood even though she was so close.
This is also a way of showing goodwill, and her sensitive facial features are really useful.
Li Wuyang had to admit that she was really cunning, but she was smart and knew her limits.
His arm was injured and bleeding.
Watching him clumsily treating the wound with one hand, Yun Zheng sighed silently and took two steps forward, "Let me do it."
She carefully treated his wounds, without looking away, and remained calm and cautious, never stepping into any dangerous situation.
Li Wuyang raised the corner of his mouth, quite sensible, "In a few days, I will send you a martial maid."
Yun Zheng was shocked. She was indeed lacking a maid skilled in martial arts. "Thank you, my Lord."
He actually protected her! She seemed to have found the right person!
Yun Zheng was woken up early in the morning. She was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes.
Chunhua helped her get up and wash, "Miss, did you not sleep well last night?"
Yun Zheng was worried and tossed and turned for half the night. When she finally closed her eyes, she was woken up.
"Didn't you hear any strange noises last night?"
Chunhua slept in the outer room, so logically, she could hear everything that happened in the inner room.
Chunhua was very confused. "No, I slept until dawn."
Yun Zheng looked at her steadily, knowing that she was not lying, and became even more confused, but she said nothing. She ate breakfast and hurried to the main hall.
The hall was already packed with people, all vying for the first stick of incense. Yun Zheng did not go forward, but hid in the corner and looked around.
Sure enough, I saw the two figures in the crowd.
Ye Yizhen was dressed in plain clothes and wearing a veil. She looked ethereal and leaned softly in Jiang Wenzhou's arms.
"Brother Jiang, can we grab the first incense stick? I want to pray to the Bodhisattva to bless us to grow old together and never be separated."
Jiang Wenzhou looked at her lovingly, "I'm sure you can."
He had already sent his servant to grab a position with the token of Pingxi Marquis' Mansion. After a while, the servant came back with a bitter face.
"Sir, the monk wants one thousand taels of silver."
Jiang Wenzhou's expression changed. "The token of our mansion is useless?"
The servant spoke cautiously, "It is useful, but the monk said that others are willing to pay 5,000 taels, but for the sake of our mansion, only 1,000 taels is required."
The monks in the temple also need to eat. Besides, even if the royal family goes to the temple to burn incense, they will pay enough money for the incense. Why should you, a marquis, be an exception?
Moreover, Huangjue Temple has already given enough face. The face of Pingxi Marquis Mansion is worth four thousand taels. These are all favors and will be repaid in the future.
Jiang Wenzhou's face turned unhappy when he heard this. Money, money, that's all he cares about!
Ye Yizhen bit her lip and said sympathetically, "However, forget it. Our mansion has spent a lot of money on the wedding, so let's wait for now."
She knew that the Marquis's Mansion was poor, but she didn't expect that they couldn't even come up with a thousand taels.
Jiang Wenzhou didn't want to lose face in front of his beloved. "For you, it's worth spending any amount of money. It's only one thousand taels, isn't it? It's not expensive."
He felt his pocket and found only five hundred taels, which was his last private money.
He looked at his men and said, "I don't have much money with me today. Please chip in some of it and I'll pay you back later."
The men looked at each other in bewilderment.
Yun Zheng saw all of this and couldn't help but laugh. He was poor and stingy, but he also wanted to save face.
No wonder the Pingxi Marquisate fell so quickly.
Jiang Wenzhou and Ye Yizhen lit the first stick of incense together before leaving.
Since you are here, take a walk around and relax.
The two walked side by side, and Ye Yizhen looked worried. "My sister-in-law didn't come home all night. I don't know what happened to her. It really makes me worried."
I thought she was smart, but she was actually a fool. She stayed out the second day after her wedding and left such a big handle for the woman. She was ignorant of the consequences.
Jiang Wenzhou's face darkened. "That unfaithful woman, restless and unresigned to her own life, I was unlucky enough to marry her. This time, the Yun family must give our mansion an explanation."
What explanation? Compensation, of course.
The dowry cannot be touched for the time being, but the Yun family still has a business and money.
They were chatting happily, but they didn't know that Yun Zheng was following them quietly, ready to strike when the opportunity arose.
There was no way. She only knew that Ye Yizhen had an opportunity, but she didn't know where the boy was.
I can only follow Ye Yichen and act according to circumstances.
What Yun Zheng didn't know was that Li Wuyang, who was hiding in the tree, was looking at her back with a slightly frown.
Although she changed her appearance and wore men's clothes, he still recognized her at a glance. Her eyes were so special, clean yet revealing a hint of rebelliousness.
What are you doing so sneaky?
At this moment, a figure rushed towards Ye Yizhen like a sharp arrow and collided with her. Ye Yizhen lost her balance and fell heavily.
"Ah." A scream suddenly rang out.
Yun Zheng was shocked. Here it comes, here it comes!
