When Irina woke up, she felt like her whole body was falling apart.
She put on her clothes and walked to the yard with trembling legs.
When she saw that it was almost dusk, she realized that she had been tortured all afternoon.
Zhao Ziliang was sitting in a back chair, drinking tea and reading a book.
Irina walked over and sat down opposite him.
She poured herself a cup of tea and drank it.
After drinking the bowl, she said: "About that matter, please give me an accurate answer."
No, you can't tell me what conditions you want, we just need them all Agree, you are also one of the most powerful people in the world.
There should be some terms that you can agree to, and some terms that you must never agree to.
Those conditions of yours are simply ridiculous.
I, Irina, am also the most noble woman in the empire, so I can’t go in vain.
Let you sleep” After hearing this, Zhao Ziliang moved his eyes from the book to Irina's face, "It's meaningless if you say that.
We had an agreement before.
Before I leave Constantinople, how do I want to sleep?
I'll sleep with you as long as you want, you're not such a deadbeat."
Irina snorted coldly: "Huh, I wanted to go with someone that day, but someone didn't let me follow.
This already shows that someone actually gave up their rights and interests on their own initiative.
This is not because I want to default on the debt.
You won’t deny someone’s identity, right?”
Zhao Ziliang was silent for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, I admit that you will come to serve me again tomorrow night, and you will come every night from now on until I leave Constantinople.
In exchange, I agree to make some concessions on the terms: Chapter 1 One thing remains unchanged, the compensation of 1.58 million gold yuan cannot be less than a penny; the second thing, I can not Please leave Seldot to me, but she must die within three days; third, I do not require you to apologize to us in public, but you must hold a banquet of the highest standard.
Our envoy Liu Chongwen and his entourage, as well as your country’s fifth-level officials in Beijing and above must all attend.
Nobles and other personnel, you can make your own arrangements.
At the banquet, the chief minister of your country must make a clear statement and publicly announce that in order to give us an explanation, we will pursue the assassin organization that besieged Qin's Trading Company to the end.
Execution, our envoy’s official residence will dispatch officials to supervise the progress of case investigation at any time and cancel Article 4; The original fifth article was cancelled, and a new fourth article was added.
In order to compensate for the losses of Qin's Trading Company, in the future, all caravan goods of Qin's Trading Company that enter the Eastern Roman Empire and pass through various checkpoints will receive special treatment of exemption from inspection.
This is the final clause. , no negotiation or discussion is allowed, if you don’t agree, you can leave now and you don’t have to come back in the future.”
Irina did not agree on the spot.
She needed to go back and send someone to verify some situations, such as the first one, whether the compensation of 1.58 million gold yuan was too high.
Moreover, if she agreed now, she would find out that she had been deceived later.
It's impossible to go back on your word.
Therefore, she thought for a while and said: "I need time to think about it, and I will give you an accurate answer before tomorrow night."
Zhao Ziliang didn't care and said: "Okay, do you want to think about it here or go back and think about it?"
Irina said: "I am a woman with no power, money and power now.
If I want to agree to the terms you mentioned, I have to find someone to discuss it."
Zhao Ziliang shouted to the outer courtyard: "Come, tell the groom of Queen Mother Irina to be ready, she is going back."
After sending Irina away, the maid brought dinner.
After a good meal, Zhao Ziliang sent someone to call Taoist Qingsong.
Taoist Qingsong arrived soon, bowed and said: "Your Majesty" Zhao Ziliang waved: "Come here, old man, have you had dinner?
How is your tracking charm going?"
Taoist Master Qingsong replied: "Your Majesty, please worry, the old Taoist has already had his meal.
After a day of drawing, I finally made one, which should be useful."
Zhao Ziliang looked up at the sky that was almost darkening and said, "It's getting late.
Go get ready.
We must find the assassin leader tonight."

"Understood, the old man will go and prepare immediately."
Not long after, two black figures flew out from the west wall of the Qin's Commercial Bank office.
It was Zhao Ziliang and Taoist Master Qingsong.
After they flew out from the west wall, they squatted under a big tree outside the wall. under the tree.
Zhao Ziliang asked: "What should we do now?"
Qingsong Lao Taoist took out a puppy made of a talisman from his sleeves and said: "Later, the Taoist will burn the puppy made of this talisman.
After it is burned, it will turn into a light that looks like a puppy."
The puppy will search along the blood stains on the ground or the blood in the air until it finds the hiding place of the assassin leader."
Zhao Ziliang curled his lips, a little disdainful, "It took you a day to make this thing.
I think it's better to find a dog.
Maybe you can find the assassin leader."
Old Taoist Qingsong was not angry and said with a smile: "I don't know, young master, if an ordinary person is injured and escapes, it may be possible to track it with a domesticated dog, but this assassin leader is not an ordinary person, he is a practitioner, and almost all practitioners can restrain their body."
Breath, tracking with dogs has no effect at all.
However, once a practitioner has a trauma, the blood flowing out from the wound will inevitably lead to the loss of some vitality.
The tracking talisman dog made of Lao Dao, a talisman, can find him through the vitality lost when the assassin leader escapes.
Even if he crosses the river and the wind is strong on the river, An experienced tracking talisman dog can also continue tracking after crossing the river."
Zhao Ziliang touched his chin and said: "According to what you say, your tracking spirit dog is quite powerful.
Okay, let's get started."
Qingsong was a little confused: "Young Master, this tracking spirit dog shines brightly at night and can be easily seen by mortals.
The old Taoist is worried about causing unnecessary trouble, so I want to ask the Young Master to clear the way in front and clear all the ordinary people in front of him in advance.
Send away” Zhao Ziliang said: "This is not easy, just knock people out.
Stop talking nonsense and let's get started."
"Yes" Old Taoist Qingsong agreed.
He immediately held the Talisman Dog in his left hand and a sword in his right hand.
He muttered a few spells in a low voice.
The Talisman Dog suddenly spontaneously ignited, burned cleanly in the blink of an eye, and turned into a luminous object.
The puppy was infirm, and the glowing puppy even barked twice at Taoist Qingsong: "Wow!"
"This is a drop of blood that the old Taoist found outside the wall when the assassin leader escaped last night."
Old Taoist Qingsong took out a small jade box from his sleeve and opened the lid.
Li Mian placed a piece of soil on which there was a drop of dried blood. , he stretched out the jade box and called to the glowing puppy: "Come, find the owner of this drop of blood."
"Woof woof" the glowing puppy came up and sniffed, barked twice more, then turned around and ran across the street.
"Hey, this is quite interesting," Zhao Ziliang said and immediately chased after him, quickly surpassing the puppy, followed closely by Qingsong.
The puppy did not turn across the street, but rose up into the sky.
It seemed that it was going to enter the house opposite.
Zhao Ziliang immediately flew into the house and found that there were people moving in the house.
He immediately sent out a mental shock wave, killing those who were still moving in the house.
All fainted.
The Talisman Dog followed the blood energy left by the assassin leader.
The route was really twists and turns, turning all over the business district.
Finally, it came to the riverside, but the Talisman Dog did not stop. , it is a virtual body and can move freely in the air.
It flies through the void towards the river.
Zhao Ziliang and Taoist Master Qingsong looked at each other and immediately walked on the waves.
Soon they reached the other side.
Ling Fu Gou Fei followed the blood and passed through the sea wall and entered the city.
The two also flew up and climbed over the city wall to follow Ling Fu.

The dog entered the city.
Zhao Ziliang said to Taoist Qingsong while walking quickly: "Old Taoist, this assassin leader is also very cautious.
He crossed the river and entered the city and still walked around in the city.
I want to see where he finally settled."
Old Taoist Qingsong didn't find it strange and said: "This is normal.
Since ancient times, assassins have concealed their identities.
After the assassination, they will quickly get rid of tracking and leave the scene.
The less careful the assassin, the faster he will die."
The two followed the Talisman Dog in many circles to the outside of the Saint Sophia Cathedral.
Priest Qingsong stretched out his hand to grab it, and the Talisman Dog immediately disappeared.
He said: "This seems to be a very big church.
Could it be that the assassin leader is hidden in the church?"
It’s so fresh” Zhao Ziliang touched his chin and looked at the Hagia Sophia Cathedral with its four corners soaring to the sky, and said: "The assassin leader finally came to the Hagia Sophia Cathedral.
This is really interesting."
Old Taoist Qingsong said in surprise: "This is Saint Sophia Cathedral" No wonder Qingsong Lao Dao was surprised.
Hagia Sophia is one of the best cathedrals in the entire Western world, and its reputation is absolutely unrivaled in the world.
The leader of an assassin organization is actually hidden in such an iconic and representative church.
This is simply unimaginable.
"Yes, this is Hagia Sophia" Qingsong Lao Dao said hesitantly: "This is one of the largest and most prestigious churches in the West.
There must be many powerful masters in it.
If we follow it in like this, I'm afraid it will arouse hostility from the church."
Zhao Ziliang said: "Don't worry, let's try our best to cover up the breath of life.
With your and my skills, if you want to leave, who in the world can stay?"
Qingsong nodded: "Okay" After he finished speaking, he opened his hand, and the glowing puppy flew out of his hand and flew towards Hagia Sophia.
The two of them immediately followed.
The magical dog flew close to the ground, following the scent of blood left by the assassin leader.
Soon we arrived at the church.
Zhao Ziliang and Old Taoist Qingsong followed the Talisman Dog to the backyard of the church.
In order not to be discovered, Old Taoist Qingsong had to control the Talisman Dog to fly lower and be more concealed
