Travel from the never to the ancient times

These few days the Zhuang Mansion is full of people, and many big families in the border towns have sent invitations to visit the Zhuang Mansion. I want to ask if there is any major event during this period of time?Zhuang Shicheng never refuses anyone who comes.

Zhuang Shicheng had just sent away a group of visiting people and was practicing calligraphy in the study.

Soon a housekeeper hurried in and said excitedly, "Master, Miss Linglong's Fourth Highness is here." The housekeeper is Zhuang Shicheng's confidant, and Zhuang Shicheng's affairs are all handled by him.

Zhuang Shicheng was taken aback, and the brush in his hand fell off.After recovering, he ran out in a hurry.

Zhuang Shicheng carefully looked at the fourth prince who was sitting in the hall, tears immediately burst into tears, and excitedly rushed over to hug the fourth prince, "Well, you have grown so big! You look very similar to Ling'er, How is she now?"

The fourth prince patted Zhuang Shicheng with a smile, "Uncle, how are you doing now?"

Zhuang Shicheng let go of the fourth prince slowly, took the handkerchief handed to him by the steward, and wiped away his tears embarrassingly, "I'm doing okay, I eat and sleep well every day! I'm still thinking, what are you doing?" It's time to come find me."

Zhuang Shicheng brought the fourth prince to the secret room of the study.I personally poured a cup of tea for the fourth prince, "This is Ling'er, one of my favorite teas before, try it."

The fourth prince picked up the teacup, took a sip, and the fragrance remained on his lips and teeth, "The taste of the mother is still the same as before."

"Cousin, I heard that you gave birth to two boys, congratulations."

Zhuang Shicheng was silent for a while, "To tell you the truth, neither of them are my children. I have never touched anyone else."

"However, the queen mother hopes that you can have a new start."

Zhuang Shicheng shook his head with a wry smile.

Zhuang Shicheng's original name was Zhuang Lei, and he was from the state of Zhou.The original Zhuang Shicheng died 20 years ago.

The dealer is the richest man in Tongcheng.Zhuang Lei has an extraordinary business talent since he was a child, and most of the dealer's family property is made by him.Merchants have a lot of status in the state of Zhou.

The mother queen of the fourth prince is Shang Linglong, the young lady of the grandfather's family in Tongcheng County.He and Zhuang Lei are cousins.

Shang Linglong is not only beautiful, but also a well-known talented woman in Tongcheng.The so-called fair and modest lady, the gentleman likes to be good.Zhuang Lei is also one of the people who pursue the lady.Zhuang Lei fell in love with Shang Linglong through someone else's introduction and through his own efforts.Zhuang Lei originally agreed that he would go to the county grandfather's house to propose marriage after Shang Linglong became an adult.But plans don't always keep up with changes.

At that time, Zhou Tianqi, the emperor of Zhou Kingdom, was only a prince.He is indifferent to the affairs of the imperial court, and only likes to travel around the mountains and rivers and have fun.I also like to be high-profile when doing things.Later, he came to Tongcheng with a high profile.

As long as people with some status in Tongcheng want to get the girl and the younger brother into Zhou Tianqi's bed.Zhou Tianqi also never refuses anyone who comes.

The magistrate is also an ambitious man.Originally, he had already decided to betroth Shang Linglong to Zhuang Lei.But after knowing that Zhou Tianqi came to Tongcheng, he immediately extinguished this idea.He sent Shang Linglong to Zhou Tianqi's bed.Zhou Tianqi had never seen any beauties before, and soon got tired of Shang Linglong's dream of bewitching demons.

But at that time Shang Linglong was already pregnant with a child.Wash my face with tears all day long.

Zhuang Lei did not dislike Shang Linglong, saying that no matter what happened to Shang Linglong, he was willing to marry her.But Shang Linglong said that she didn't want to be his burden.She also said that she didn't want her child to hate her in the future, she just wanted her child to live with her family.

Later, Zhuang Lei hooked up with Zhou Tianqi's confidant, saying that as long as Zhou Tianqi is willing to marry Shang Linglong, he will give most of his property to Shang Linglong as a dowry.

Although Zhou Tianqi is a prince, his salary is not enough for him to fill his teeth.The money has always been supported by his mother and concubine, and the filial piety of other officials from time to time.

After Zhou Tianqi found out, he said that he was willing to marry Shang Linglong, but he could only make her a side concubine.

Zhuang Lei disappeared after the day of Shang Linglong and Zhou Tianqi's wedding.After more than ten years, the news of being in the border town was sent back to the family.

Zhuang Lei calmed down and asked the Fourth Prince, "What do you want me to do?"

"We want to get out of the city." These days they tried many ways, and lost a lot of men but they couldn't get out of the city gate.Later, he still remembered the cousin mentioned by his mother, and knew that his cousin had become the prefect of the border town.Just came to him for help.

Zhuang Lei patted the fourth prince's shoulder, "Come to me tonight, and I will take you out of the city gate. Ever since I heard that Zhou Guo was going to attack Zhao Guo, I secretly dug a secret road in the mansion, leading directly to Outside the city." It was time for him to return to Zhou.

Just as Zhuang Lei sent the fourth prince away, the housekeeper immediately reported, "Master, Zhao Yu sent someone to look for you. I have invited him to the hall."

Zhuang Lei paused for a moment, and walked over directly.

"Little guard, may I ask what General Zhao wants from me?" Zhuang Lei asked with a smile.

The guard bowed to Zhuang Lei, and said expressionlessly, "My lord, my general said that he wants to discuss with you about your eldest son. It will be tonight."

Zhuang Lei's expression didn't change, he nodded in agreement.

After the guards left, the housekeeper turned his head and said anxiously to Zhuang Lei, "Master, what should we do?"

"I can only go." With Zhao Yu's personality, this is the first time I'm here to invite you, and next time I'll come directly to carry you.

Zhuang Lei solemnly ordered to the butler, "Tonight, you take the Fourth Highness and the others through the secret passage."

"Master, how about you?"

Zhuang Lei shook his head and walked back to the room.

The housekeeper looked at Zhuang Lei's back and had no choice but to leave.The master has spent most of his life for Miss Linglong, and now he wants to lose his life...

"You have been monitoring the Zhuang Mansion these days, have you seen any suspicious figures?" Zhao Yu looked at the row of hidden guards in front of him.These are the secret guards responsible for protecting Lord Bai Qian.Bai Qianjun has always disliked the dark guards following him.I only brought two hidden guards to the teahouse that day, and the bodies of those two people were found that day.

"Back to the general, there are a lot of people visiting the Zhuang mansion during this period, and the subordinates are afraid of being discovered, so they dare not get too close."

"Go down!"

"Yes."

Zhao Yu anxiously scratched his hair with his hands, and walked back and forth to fight for the emperor's favor.

It's been a few days!In addition to knowing that the prefect is a traitor, he may have kidnapped Ajun.There are no clues anymore.Ah Jun, Ah Jun, Ah Jun!Where are you?

Zhao Yuchou's hair was almost turning white.

"Report!"

"Come in." Zhao Yu recovered expressionlessly.

"General, there is a guard named Chu Mingzhai who has something to report."

Chu Mingdi?It seems that one of Ah Jun's guards is called Chu Mingzhai.Last time I seemed to punish them to guard the city gate.

"Let him in." If it's nothing serious, just fine them with double training.It's too cheap for them to guard the city gate.This is the most blatant venting of anger.

"General." Chu Mingzhai saluted.

Zhao Yu beckoned Chu Mingdi to get up, "What's the matter?"

Chu Mingzhai stood up, and said with a smile, "If I can get Zhuang Shicheng to tell everything I know, can you keep it secret for me?" From these days, we can see that Bai Qianjun is a very important person , so important that it may affect the battle situation.Judging from Zhao Yu's behavior towards Bai Qianjun, although Zhao Yu is a relative of the emperor, every time he talks to Bai Qianjun, the respect in his eyes cannot be concealed.

"Oh?" Zhao Yu looked at Chu Mingdi expressionlessly. "If you lied to me, you don't want to know the consequences."

Chu Mingzhai looked at Zhao Yu with an unchanged expression.

Zhao Yu looked at Chu Mingdi like this and nodded.

"However, this method can only be implemented on people with weak willpower. If the willpower is too strong, it may not work. If Zhuang Shicheng is really related to this matter, then his willpower must be very strong. It is best to give He takes some medicine that can produce hallucinations."

Night came quickly.

"My lord, this way please. The general is already inside." A guard led Zhuang Lei to the door of Zhao Yu's room.

Zhao Yu was sitting at the table drinking tea.He looked up at Zhuang Lei and motioned him to sit down.There was an empty teacup on the table next to him, Zhao Yu raised his hand and poured it [-]% full.

"Drink tea." Zhao Yu said expressionlessly.

"Hehe... General, it's getting late now, and my family is still waiting for me to go back for dinner. I will discipline Jiajie after I bring him home." Zhuang Lei looked at Zhao Yu with a bright smile.

"Drinking a cup of tea won't waste much time. Are you still afraid of me taking medicine?" Zhao Yu also smiled at him.

Zhuang Lei paused for a while, then picked up the teacup on the table with a smile, "I am really lucky to have the honor to drink the tea poured by the general." Anyway, he didn't plan to go back alive.Even if Zhao Yu took the medicine, there would still be time for interrogation.As long as you close your mouth tightly and wait a little longer, you will complete your merits and virtues.

Zhuang Lei drank the cold tea slowly.

"General, I've already drank the tea. Don't worry, I will discipline Jiajie, a brat. There are still a group of people waiting for me to go back! Look?"

Zhao Yu nodded with a smile.

Zhuang Lei stood up happily.After walking a few steps, my eyes began to blur, and my footsteps wobbled.
