The beautiful and powerful minister hooked up with the crazy emperor and couldn't escape

Late at night, Feng Jiuqing blended in with the guests to avoid investigation, then jumped onto the roof alone, letting the cool night breeze blow his long hair, covering his cheeks and making the tiny willow leaves rustle.

So it is. So it is. Feng Jiuqing lowered his eyes, his face full of frost. After an unknown amount of time, he stood up and sneaked on the roof in the cover of night.

Lou Xinyu did not go underground tonight. He was packing up important account books and leaving some interesting things for King Zhao, as the price he had paid for all those things in the past ten years.

More than ten years ago, when he met King Zhao, he was in a miserable state, no better than a beggar. With the support of King Zhao, he founded Xitai Tower and took great pains to help King Zhao make money and build relationships in order to repay King Zhao's kindness.

But all this was ultimately his wishful thinking. No matter how much he paid for the King of Zhao, in the eyes of the King of Zhao, he was just a stray dog. He didn't understand it before, but year after year, he finally understood in the passing years what it meant that youth is fleeting, but people's hearts can change.

The wind seemed to be getting louder. Lou Xinyu looked out the window but saw nothing. Lou Xinyu shook his head and laughed at himself for being too suspicious. The guards in his bedroom were all selected by him personally, and there had never been any problems in the past ten years.

Because his bodyguard is the eighth-ranked assassin in the martial arts world, Zhufeng. Not only that, since he surrendered to the master five years ago, the master has given him six secret guards. In the past, there were also some people who were jealous of the interests behind Xitai Tower or came for revenge for some reasons, but without exception, they were unable to enter the palace.

The wind seemed to be stronger, and the curtains were shaking a little. Lou Xinyu paused in tidying up the account books. He had a bad feeling.

"Someone is coming."

Soon, a man in guard uniform came in from the door and knelt on one knee: "What do you want, OP?"

Lou Xinyu closed the account book and asked, "Is there any unusual movement outside?"

The guard thought for a moment and said, "Nothing unusual has been found yet. I will go investigate further."

"Ah."

After the guards left, the noise outside seemed to have died down a little. Lou Xinyu lowered his head and quickly put the account book into the box and locked it up. He breathed a sigh of relief only after doing all this.

The wind seemed to be getting stronger, and the curtains were blown into waves, rolling continuously.

Lou Xinyu frowned and said, "Someone come!"

After a while, a guard came in and asked: "What do you want, OP?"

Lou Xinyu covered the box beside him inconspicuously and lowered his head to sort out the letters on the desk: "Go and close the window. The wind is too strong and it makes me feel upset."

"Yes."

The guard stood up, walked to the window, and was about to take down the fork when a sharp sword blade came towards him from outside the window.

The guard took a few steps back to avoid the sword light and drew out the blade he carried with him to block in front of him.

A man dressed in black climbed in from the window, stood opposite the guard, and pointed the tip of his sword at the guard's throat.

Lou Xinyu had walked to the farthest position from the guard without knowing when. He looked at the guard with contempt and said, "Zhu Feng, kill him."

"Yes, landlord."

The man in black responded.

The guard looked at Lou Xinyu coldly, and fought with the man in black again. The sparks from the collision of the sword and the knife were accompanied by the sound of metal collision. The long sword stabbed at the guard cunningly, and each move went straight to the vital point, but the guard's long sword could always block the attack of the long sword from unexpected places, and even had a tendency to suppress the long sword.

Zhu Feng's expressionless face gradually turned into one of astonishment. After being repelled by the guards again, he suddenly said, "Master, hurry up, this man is a master of martial arts, he is definitely not an ordinary person!"

Lou Xinyu's originally calm face twisted for a moment. Zhufeng asked him to go first. This had never happened before! It seemed that this intruder was very difficult to deal with. Lou Xinyu believed in Zhufeng's judgment, picked up the box beside him, and hurried to the door.

Just as he was about to run to the door, a long knife was placed across his neck, blocking his steps to leave.

A strange, cold voice reached his ears.

"Why are you leaving in such a hurry? Why don't you stay and have a cup of tea with me?"

Lou Xinyu forced a smile and said, "I won't bother you. I have something else to do. I'll take my leave now."

As he was talking, a long sword suddenly attacked from the left side of the man, and Lou Xinyu subconsciously wanted to take the opportunity to go out. But the man swept his long legs, and Zhu Feng flew out with the sword and slammed into the wall. The long sword landed on Lou Xinyu's neck again, the blade was sharp, faintly reflecting the moonlight.

"Would you like some tea, host?"

Lou Xinyu felt the chill and slight pain on his neck. Even Zhufeng couldn't beat this man, so of course he could only act accordingly. A man of insight becomes a wise man.

"Easy to say, easy to say."

The cold blade forced Lou Xinyu to retreat step by step to the table. The man took a look at the box that Lou Xinyu was holding and tapped the box with the knife.

"What kind of important thing is this that is worth the owner's treasure?"

Lou Xinyu tightened his grip and held the box further away from the man: "They are just some things I am used to, not valuable. You may not know that I have been dismissed from my position and am no longer the owner of Xitai Tower. So I want to take some of my used things home. Although they are not valuable, it is better to take things that I am used to."

"Really? Then why don't you open them and show me what old things they are that you couldn't bear to throw away even when you left and had to take them away?"

"this."

Lou Xinyu looked embarrassed, and the expression on his face was difficult to describe.

"It would be better if the distinguished guest did not look at it?"

But the man opposite was unmoved, and the blade approached Lou Xinyu again: "Open it."

Lou Xinyu hesitated to speak, but finally opened the box resigned to his fate.

There were several cylindrical jades in the box. Lou Xinyu's face turned red and he coughed and said, "It's just my personal hobby. Please forgive me for making fun of you."

The man seemed stunned for a moment, and then returned to his expressionless look.

"As expected of you, you have such an interesting hobby. What a coincidence! I also like this thing. Would you be willing to give it to me?"

Lou Xinyu probably didn't expect that this man was so shameless that he would even force something like this.

"These are all used items. If you like them, I can ask a craftsman to remake a few for you."

The man's voice was still as cold as snow in winter: "No need, I just like these ones, just give them to me along with the box."

Lou Xinyu tried to read some emotions on the man's face to guess his intentions, but the man remained expressionless and he couldn't see through him.

"Dear guest, this——"

"What, you don't want to?"

The blade left a bloody mark on Lou Xinyu's neck, and Lou Xinyu's face twisted for a moment.

The person opposite said expressionlessly: "Oh, my hand slipped."
