The dim back

Zhang Yulu learned through the system that the person who hijacked the cloth was sent by the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother just wanted to embarrass the eldest princess, to make her crawl at her feet and beg her to let her son go.

Zhang Yulu said to Liu Zhongqing: "I think this matter is related to the Queen Mother, but the difficulty now lies here. We don't have any evidence, and we can't take the initiative to ask the Queen Mother."

At this moment, a maid came in from outside the door and said hurriedly, "Miss, Lin Xuefeng is outside now. He said he has a way to help you out of your urgent situation."

Seeing the maid say this, Zhang Yulu laughed: "He is really paying attention to me all the time. He even knows that I am in trouble now. How can he, a defeated Lin family, get the favor of the Queen Mother?"

Liu Zhongqing also found it strange: "I also think there is something fishy going on. I think we should ignore this person."

Zhang Yulu responded immediately: "I must go and see him today. I want him to know that he has no meaning to me anymore."

Liu Zhongqing was particularly worried: "Then let me go with you to take a look."

When the two of them appeared at the gate of the villa, Lin Xuefeng opened his mouth and said, "Are you looking for those cloths now? I heard that the cloths supplied by the imperial merchants this time have been hijacked by others. If you can't hand over the cloths, the Queen Mother will have to take your heads."

Zhang Yulu felt very strange: "What's wrong with you? Where did you hear this?"

Zhang Yulu just evaded the question: "How I know is none of your business. Just tell me how you know it."

Just as Lin Xuefeng was about to open his mouth to speak, he turned around and saw Liu Zhongqing: "I only want to talk to you, I don't want others to hear."

Liu Zhongqing understood very well and said righteously: "You are trying to avoid me, but please rest assured that I will definitely handle this matter well. If Lin Xuefeng doesn't help, I believe I can handle this matter well by myself."

Zhang Yulu felt that now was not the time to act on impulse, so she said to Liu Zhongqing, "Hurry up and shut up. I have the final say in this matter. I must know the whole story today. You go back to the villa first."

Seeing that Liu Zhongqing was worried, Zhang Yulu said comfortingly: "Go back first. If I don't show up in an hour, come out and find me."

Liu Zhongqing nodded: "Anyway, I'm on patrol duty tonight, and I'll be patrolling the streets. If there's something you want to yell about, I'll definitely hear your voice on the street."

After Liu Zhongqing finished speaking, he pulled out a sachet from his waist and said, "Take this with you. It can wake you up."

Zhang Yulu took the project in his hand and naturally put it around his waist: "Then it's settled."

When Lin Xuefeng saw the sachet on Zhang Yulu's waist, he said angrily, "We were so good together before, but now that you have Liu Zhongqing, you don't remember all the vows we made."

Zhang Yulu didn't want to pay any attention to Lin Xuefeng at all: "If I don't allow you to say it, then don't say it. I don't want to hear anything from you now. From today on, the farther away from me the better."

Lin Xuefeng seemed to have caught the topic: "You said I went to the City God Temple, and I prepared something there."

Zhang Yulu followed Lin Xuefeng into the entrance of the City God Temple and felt that the room was pitch black. Zhang Yulu had a bad feeling: "What on earth are you doing? Bringing me to this damn place?"

Lin Xuefeng laughed: "I didn't expect you to forget me so quickly. In modern times, if you hadn't been so aggressive, I wouldn't have gone to find Yang Piaopiao. Now that I'm here, I won't want to marry that fat and ugly widow Yang just to bring honor to my family."

Listening to Lin Xuefeng's accusation, Zhang Yulu found it ridiculous: "Why are you blaming me for all your faults? You are always thinking about using women to get yourself to the top. People like you are not welcome in this society, whether now or in this society. You are obviously a scumbag."

Hearing Zhang Yulu's accusation against him, Lin Xuefeng was a little angry: "Fortunately, I saw Zhang Laojiu that day, and it was the two of us who noticed this matter. Zhang Laojiu is now a desperado. He risked his life to help the Queen Mother snatch this batch of cloth. Now he is under the Queen Mother's command. If you want to use Zhang Laojiu to make trouble in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Zhang Yulu became even angrier when she heard Lin Xuefeng say this: "I didn't expect that you two are so similar in taste that you can actually work together with that person. I guess you are not a good person either. If you don't have any good news, I'm leaving."

Lin Xuefeng, how could you let Zhang Yulu leave so easily?

Seeing that Zhang Yulu was about to leave, he immediately grabbed Zhang Yulu's hand and said, "To tell you the truth, you must be mine today."

As Lin Xuefeng spoke, he began to force himself on her. While Zhang Yulu was struggling, she remembered that Liu Zhongqing had taught her some tactics some time ago.

Zhang Yulu took advantage of Lin Xuefeng's inattention and kicked Lin Xuefeng in the crotch. Zhang Xuefeng immediately jumped up.

Zhang Yulu took the opportunity to run away, but it was too late. Zhang Laojiu walked in from outside.

Zhang Laojiu quickly subdued Zhang Yulu with a rope and tied her to a stool. He turned around and said to Lin Xuefeng, "You are really incapable of success and are always more likely to cause trouble. What is there to say to a woman? You don't still have feelings for her, do you?"

Hearing Zhang Laojiu say this about him, Lin Xuefeng was a little angry: "Don't forget that we are a cooperative relationship. I am only responsible for bringing people here, and the rest is up to you."

After Lin Xuefeng finished speaking, he turned to Zhang Laojiu and continued, "Now that the cloth has been shipped out from the dock, what are you going to do with it?"

Zhang Laojiu smiled grimly: "I want to burn all of this batch of cloth, so that I can destroy the evidence and make Liu Zhongqing have a reputation for being incompetent, so that I can dismiss him from his post. I want to see what this prince will do."

Hearing Zhang Laojiu's words, Zhang Yulu became angry: "You are ridiculous. You use such a despicable method. It seems that you two will not achieve anything great. You are just doing petty thefts."

When Lin Xuefeng heard what Zhang Yulu said, he became indignant: "If I had enough to eat and warm clothes, and my family was still supporting me, I would be willing to do good things. But now I have also taken refuge with the Queen Mother, which at least gives me a place to settle down."

Zhang Yulu heard it clearly: "It seems that you have your own place to live now, and you don't have to live in Chenghuang Temple anymore."

Lin Xuefeng straightened his back immediately: "Of course, the Queen Mother opened a private school for me, I can teach students there, and my life is not bad, but what I have to do is to help Zhang Laojiu complete this matter this time."

Zhang Laojiu didn't want to waste any more time, so after blocking Zhang Yulu's mouth, he told Lin Xuefeng, "I will tie this annoying person to the dock right now, and then I will set a fire to burn this woman and the cloth together, so that they will all stay in the sea."

Zhang Laojiu said as he pulled Zhang Yulu out. Zhang Yulu had no choice but to use his trump card. Since he couldn't speak now, Zhang Yulu had to pin his hopes on the sachet around his waist.

Because I once wrote in my novel that when you are kidnapped, you must throw the sachet on the ground, or throw the contents of the sachet on the ground.

After thinking it over, Zhang Yulu opened the sachet and scattered the petals of the sachet on the ground little by little.

When Liu Zhongqing was on patrol, he felt inexplicably upset, as if something was going to happen. In a trance, Liu Zhongqing felt that it should be Zhang Yulu.

Liu Zhongqing ran to the City God Temple and saw that it was empty, but there were some messy footprints on the ground.

It seemed that there had been a struggle here. Looking at the petals on the ground again, Liu Zhongqing screamed in his heart: "Oh no, something is going to happen."

Liu Zhongqing ran out and said hurriedly: "Hurry up and help me seal all the interfaces, and send a team to go to the dock with me."

When Liu Zhongqing led everyone to the dock, he saw many ships at the dock. He became excited and said, "From now on, every captain will keep looking until they find Zhang Yulu."

All the soldiers held Zhang Yulu's portrait and searched for it, but there was no trace of her.

This made Liu Zhongqing very anxious. Suddenly, Liu Zhongqing saw the deck of a ship covered with flower petals.

Liu Zhongqing ran over, dropped all the petals into the sea, and said to the soldiers: "Everyone listen carefully, find a few people who can swim."

Soon, many soldiers arrived, and Liu Zhongqing ordered them, "There must be a hidden cabin under this ship. Now everyone, jump down with me."

After everyone jumped down in a hurry, they finally found an invisible cabin underneath, and Liu Zhongqing had just entered.

He saw Zhang Yulu tied up inside with a lot of cloth around him, which was the cloth that his family had lost.

Zhang Yulu's mouth was tied at this time. Liu Zhongqing ran over and opened Zhang Yulu's mouth. Zhang Yulu immediately said, "Zhang Laojiu and Lin Xuefeng want to burn this batch of cloth. It is the profit of the Queen Mother. We must take it back now."

Hearing Zhang Yulu's words, Liu Zhongqing came up with an idea: "Then let's play along. If we hand over the cloth on time, the Empress Dowager won't be able to do anything. So why don't we hide the cloth first and wait for the Empress Dowager to expose me, and then I'll take action."

Zhang Yulu thought it made sense: "Then let's leave here quickly. Zhang Laojiu seems to have gone to report just now."

The two hurried out of the venue, and Liu Zhongqing said to the others: "Now hurry up and move the cloth in the cabin, everyone, move quickly."

Just after the cloth was transferred, Zhang Laojiu was seen from afar with a group of people, asking them to set the boat on fire. Looking at the boat on fire on the sea, Zhang Laojiu smiled coldly: "I have finally avenged my cousin. I must make Liu Zhongqing pay this time. If it weren't for Liu Yue'e's face, I would have killed Zhang Yulu, that girl, too."

After Zhang Laojiu finished speaking, he said to the people beside him, "Check carefully for me. Don't miss anything."

Liu Zhongqing felt bad: "We just moved the cloth out and haven't put the damaged cloth back yet. If the Queen Mother finds out, our plan will be ruined."

At this time, a soldier came over and said, "My Lord, we have an idea. We can break through the bottom of the boat. Once water enters, the boat will sink naturally without us having to light a fire."

There was no other way. Liu Zhongqing said to the soldiers, "Then everyone, move faster."

After everyone's unremitting efforts, the boat quickly tread water. Zhang Laojiu saw this and said, "This is really bad luck. How could such a good boat sink? I guess we must find a sturdier boat next time. Since the boat has started to sink, let the cloth float in the water. Let's go back now."

After Zhang Laojiu left, Liu Zhongqing and Zhang Yulu came out from behind.

Liu Zhongqing said to Zhang Yulu: "It was really thrilling. Next time, the two of us should not take risks again. Fortunately, you left a mark for me."

Zhang Yulu had no fear: "You are smart. If you hadn't left me the sachet, I'm afraid there would be no evidence."

Seeing the two people flattering each other, a guard at the side reminded: "My Lord, Miss Zhang, please deliver this batch of cloth to the palace as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late."

Liu Zhongqing instructed his men: "Send these cloths to the government warehouse. There are soldiers guarding it. I believe there will be no problems."

After the soldiers left, Zhang Yulu said to Liu Zhongqing: "You are indeed very smart. If we fight back this time, I believe the Queen Mother will know how powerful you are."

Liu Zhongqing silently said in his heart: "If the Queen Mother does not go too far, I believe I will not retaliate against her."

The two of them just waited quietly, hoping that they would get a good result.

Zhang Yulu didn't think so. He felt that he must talk to Lin Xuefeng. After all, the two of them traveled through time together. The Queen Mother was too insidious. If this continued for a long time, Lin Xuefeng might lose his life.

Because Zhang Yulu once wrote a passage in the novel about how the empress dowager took advantage of a scholar, and in the end, the scholar was actually killed by the empress dowager.

But I didn't expect that after traveling through time, the scholar in the book would actually be Lin Xuefeng.

Zhang Yulu looked at Liu Zhongqing in front of him and said, "I want to persuade Lin Xuefeng again. I hope you can understand me."

Liu Zhongqing thought about it and said, "Should I go with you? You are my fiancée now. If others hear about this, what will I do in the future? This will damage my reputation."

Hearing Liu Zhongqing say this, Zhang Yulu had no choice but to nod and agree: "I hope we can win this time, and it would be best if we can save a young man."
