Chapter 71 [Quid Pro quo] (Part II)


"You don't seem to know that my uncle's wife is the niece of King Jin."

Ying Lian's words made my heart suddenly freeze.

Ying Lian smiled and said: "It was my uncle's idea to carve up the Huo Kingdom between the Qin, Jin and Yan families.

Do you think he would go back on his word?"

I whispered: "So he won't agree."

Ying Lian glanced at me and said, "Is it important to you whether he agrees?

The King of Qin is my father, and he is the one who can make the final decision."

I heard the meaning behind Ying Lian's words and said softly: "So, you will help me."

Ying Lian said softly: "I just don't know if you are willing to accept my help."

I stared into her unpredictable and clear eyes, and after a long time I said: "Why do you want to help me?

Is it out of guilt or to compensate for the wrong things you have done in the past?"

Ying Lian shook her head vigorously, but her beautiful eyes were already moist.

"Don't tell me you don't have any purpose in your heart" "Lu Xiaogui, you really know me very well.

The reason why I am willing to help you is not just because of guilt or because you have saved me.

The fundamental reason is that I want to make a deal with you."

I nodded slowly: "Tell me your conditions."

"Lu Xiaogui, I want you to help me capture Ji Mu and find the real Heshi Bi for me."

I was slightly startled.

Since Ying Lian said this, it seems that the Heshi Bi that Ji Mu handed over when he was in Chu was a fake.

This person is indeed cunning to the extreme.

Ying Lian and Chun Xueling are both extremely intelligent.

All the girls were deceived by him.

"I promise you" Ying Lian said softly: "I know that today you agreed to become a vassal state of Great Qin, but in your heart you plan to wait until your own wings are full, break away from the shackles of Great Qin, and become the king who dominates the country."

I smiled and said: "Do you know me well?"

Ying Lian sighed again and said, "I hope I'm helping you this time and I'm not feeding a tiger into trouble."

I said calmly: "We each get what we need, and we benefit from each other.

No one on either side suffers."

I handed the gift box to her hand: "This rouge jade pendant is my gift to Marquis Jingshan.

Please help me give it to him."

"I am the one who helps, why should I give him a gift?"

I smiled calmly and said, "If you like it, keep it to yourself."

"I don't want it.

One day, I want you to give me a gift willingly."

After saying this, Ying Lian seemed to feel that he had made a mistake.

Two delicate red clouds flew up from his pretty face, pure and pure.

It exudes a seductive charm.

I was afraid that I would be confused by her, so I looked away and whispered: "It's late at night, it's time for me to go back and rest."

Ying Lian slightly pursed her lips: "I haven't finished my terms yet."

"What other conditions do you have?"

"I want you not to go anywhere tonight, just drink here with me."

I opened my eyes wide in shock, never expecting that Ying Lian would make this rather unreasonable request.

Ying Lian waved down, and not long after, two maids came up with food boxes and wine, packed the table, and arranged the food and wine.

Ying Lian invited me to take a seat, and the two maids hung six lanterns around the table.

Ying Lian said softly: "You go, Mr.

Lu and I will have a nice talk."

The two beautiful maids respectfully resigned.

Only then did I remember that they should be Ying Lian's maids.

I might have met them before in the Chu Kingdom, but I didn't pay attention to them.

Ying Lian picked up the golden bottle and said: "We met in Chu State and reunited in Luoyi.

In any case, we are kind of destined.

I know you are here, I am really happy."

There were faint tears in her beautiful eyes: "I I thought I would never see you again in this lifetime.”

I clinked the wine bottles with her and drank the wine first.

Ying Lian said softly: "There is something I always want to ask you.

If it hadn't been for this chance encounter, would you have thought of me in the future?"

I looked at her beautiful eyes and noticed a trace of deep tenderness.

Could it be that this little girl had feelings for me?

But I immediately denied this idea.

Ying Lian is so calculating, how could she be so easily moved?

She said There may be another purpose behind these words.

I said calmly: "I will think of you."

Ying Lian smiled sweetly, with two intoxicating dimples showing at the corners of her lips: "Will you take the initiative to go to Qin to find me?"

"Won't" Her smile slowly condensed on her pretty face: "There is really no place for me in your heart."

I smiled calmly and said, "Princess, do you care?"

Ying Lian silently drank the glass of wine: "For me, spending time with you outside Zimu Town was the happiest time in my life."

My heart trembled, looking at Ying Lian's sad and resentful eyes, my guarded heart softened unconsciously.

I silently reminded myself that I must not be deceived by her sweet words, and said calmly: "I don't remember anymore. " Ying Lian's eyes first turned red, then she covered her pretty face, her delicate body lying on the long table, her shoulders trembling uncontrollably, and she sobbed softly.

I didn't expect her to have such a big reaction, so I reached out and patted her shoulder gently.

"Leave me, I never want to see you again" Three days later, Duanmuni asked his uncle to come over and invite me.

Only when I arrived at his mansion did I know that it was Ruji who was looking for me this time.

Ru Ji seemed to be in a good mood today.

She was wearing a red dress and admiring the pearl jewelry that Duan Muna had just collected.

Chu Ying, the personal maid, was opening the jewelry boxes one by one.

Seeing me coming in, Ru Ji waved her hand and signaled Chu Ying to stop: "Ying'er, go and make me a cup of tea."

Chu Ying responded and turned around to leave.

I knelt down to her respectfully and said, "My child, Ji, come back to see your mother and concubine."

Ru Ji couldn't help but burst into laughter, her charming face became more and more vivid, she gently raised her white and tender hands and said: "Get up, I don't have a son as old as you."

I stood up and said shamelessly: "Since Your Majesty recognizes me as your adopted son, your Majesty will be my adopted mother."

Ruji rolled her eyes at me and said, "Do you think I don't understand your true intention of recognizing your godfather?"

I smiled awkwardly and said, "I really can't hide anything from my mother and concubine."

Ruji said: "You are twenty years old this year.

Speaking of which, we are still the same age.

Where were you born?"

"The seventh day of July"

"Ah, what a coincidence.

Me too."

Ruji asked me to sit across from her and said softly: "I can't tell, but you are quite capable.

I came here specifically to tell you that the Qin State has given up on the idea of ​​sharing Huo State with Jin and Yan.

And he offered to support you as the king of Huo Kingdom."

I was overjoyed.

This matter must have been the result of Ying Lian's mediation.

Thinking of my attitude towards her that night, I felt secretly ashamed.

No matter what her starting point was this time, she still did me a big favor.

I expressed my deep gratitude and said, "Thank you very much, concubine."

Ruji said softly: "How do you want to thank me?"

The voice was soft and gentle, and it had a bit of a girl's coquettish flavor.

I raised my head to look at her, but I saw that her eyes were charming and full of temptation.

If I still can't understand the meaning, , isn’t it What a fool, my heart can't help but pounding.

Damn it, this Ruji must have taken a fancy to my handsome appearance and had the idea of ​​​​seduce me.

It is undeniable that Ruji is indeed a sexy stunner.

This is the first time I have seen her.

She felt a little excited when she saw it.

But now there are some clues about my affairs, and this woman is quite scheming.

Is she trying to test me on purpose?

I pretended to be confused and said, "How do you want me to thank you, concubine?"

Ruji whispered softly: "You kid is really a heartless guy."

She lightly poked me on the forehead with her slender hand.

I was stunned by this.

She really wanted to seduce me. , it's no wonder that, guarding Ji Gai, that cowardly and useless waste, how can such a beautiful woman not have other thoughts.

My heart skipped a beat.

Since the beauty took the initiative to seduce me, why didn't I just follow the trend?

But I suddenly noticed that Ru Ji's charming eyes did not show any confusion.

Eyes are the windows to the soul.

If she was really in love with me, why did she show her love to me?

To be able to remain so clear-headed at such a time, I secretly reminded myself to control my emotions and said respectfully: "Don't worry, mother and concubine, my child will never forget your benefits in the future."

There was a smile on Ruji's face: "You are indeed a talented kid.

Your Majesty is at the cockfighting ground in the west of the city to watch the cockfighting.

Come with me."

The door opened slightly, but Chu Ying walked in from the outside, with a faint smile on her face.

Ruji whispered: "Ying'er, did you lose this time?"

Chu Ying nodded slightly and looked at me, but she didn't say what exactly they were betting on.

Could it be that they were using me as a bet?

I secretly broke into a cold sweat.

Damn it, is this woman sick?

She was really testing me.

If I had really attacked her just now, wouldn’t I have fallen into her trap?

Looking at her face, I had already I feel happy to have regained my normal nobility, but I also feel a little bit regretful.

It would be a pleasure to have such an erotic beauty under me for me to ride around
