Three thousand occupations can be introduced

Chapter 20

The little emperor is the fourth son of the Taishanghuang, and the Taishanghuang calls him Xiaosi. )

Zhou Xu heard the Taishanghuang's answer without hesitation, and had already prepared the answer of rejection on the way here, but he did not expect the Taishanghuang to be as stubborn as ever.

Zhou Xu suppressed his anger, and continued to fight for this matter.

"Then what's going on with the princess?" Zhou Xu asked, he had never heard of this matter.

"You won't be Xiaosi's lobbyist, will you?"

Zhou Xu nodded, "He's a little afraid of marriage, and he doesn't like women from other races. I'm afraid there will be resentment, so let's take it easy."

After listening to the Taishanghuang, he laughed. "You, you are still so naive."

"This married princess was presented by the Lord of the Yelang Kingdom. In order to marry the two surnames, it is also the most sincere expression of attachment to our Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Do you think this can be delayed?" the Supreme Emperor asked.

"The Yelang people are tough, with a vast territory, natural pastures, and brave soldiers. Is it necessary to rely on us?" Zhou Xu asked suspiciously.

"This matter is weird, but their envoys will come with the princess's dowry, and there will be an explanation at that time."

"But we can't sit still. The queen mother's sister-in-law is not worrying about getting her nephew a concubine, let her get involved."

Zhou Xu and the Supreme Emperor were still guessing about the Yelang Kingdom, and Princess Heqin had already walked to the city closest to Kyoto under the escort of Zhou Che.

The night is quiet, they need to stop temporarily, and continue on their way tomorrow.

"General Zhou, thanks to you along the way, when I get to the palace, I will definitely say more about your contributions."

Zhou Che waved his hand, "Envoy, there is no need to do this, this is the general's job."

The envoy smiled and praised Zhou Che for his integrity.

The words of praise are all set, and there is no sense of the pure nature of Yelangguo.Zhou Xu put on a look of being embarrassed by being praised, but he was a little vigilant in his heart.

"You're being polite. I don't know if the princess will pass on the meal." Zhou Che changed the subject.

"It's still General Zhou who is thoughtful. The princess is a little tired and has already rested. She distributed all the meals to the hard-working soldiers." The envoy said.

"Then you should rest as soon as possible, get up early tomorrow, and you will arrive in the capital within three to five days." Zhou Che said to the envoy who always wanted to find out about him, completely preventing him from speaking.

"The envoy is resting, I will arrange the night watch," Zhou Che said, and left.

The envoy looked at Zhou Che's back meaningfully for a long time.

This person seems to be a bit different from the rumored one. This masked general is not vicious, but he doesn't eat oil and salt.

The envoy returned to the princess sedan chair, knocked three times, and a tall maid walked out of the princess sedan chair. Upon closer inspection, she found that she was not as cold as a woman.

"Your Highness, it's not easy to find out the details of this masked general. What should we do next?" The envoy asked respectfully. The future monarch of a powerful country.

"It's okay, just follow the established plan. Change the princess and act tonight. Now is the alert time, so don't come to me early if you have nothing to do." The woman turned out to be a man under the disguise, and she was also His Royal Highness of Yelang Kingdom.

"Your Majesty is not doing well, please punish me." The envoy felt that he had not done well what His Majesty had asked him to do, and was about to take the blame.

"It's nothing, you've done a good job, it's because this person is too vigilant." His Royal Highness of the Yelang Kingdom comforted him. It can be inferred that this person must have been extremely insecure when he was a child. People go to look up this person's childhood.

The information he has now is that he was brought up by the eldest princess after he was six years old. He didn't know what his identity was. He joined the army and became a general step by step by relying on his own strength. He gathered a group of capable people under his command.When Yelang Kingdom and Eastern Zhou fight, this masked general will be a formidable opponent, and he must fully understand this person's weaknesses.

His Highness Yelangguo asked the envoys to retreat, and he re-boarded the princess's sedan chair, leaning against a low-key and luxuriously decorated place to sleep lightly. Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. I don't know if the masked general can take this trick, he thought to himself.

The fragile princess who the envoy said could not stand the long journey did not rest at this time, and a sharp dagger was bet on her neck, "Princess, what an offense."

This is the true face of the personal maid who was so close to her along the way.

"Who the hell are you?" The princess didn't show much fear on her face, she just asked coldly, without any trace of cowardice.

"Princess doesn't need to know so much, just cooperate with me." The personal maid signaled the trembling little maid standing beside her to come over.

"Take off the princess's clothes, mess up her hair, take off the jewelry, and bring your clothes back for the princess to change." The personal maid said with a frosty face.

The little maid nodded, hurriedly ran to get her own clothes, and hurried over again, fiddled with the princess's clothes without messing her hands and feet.

"I don't know if you are still called Jiayi, but let's call it that, we are master and servant, and you know how I treat you. I know that I am not favored. I am a chess piece of my father, and I have no use for it now." Worth, can't you take pity on me and tell me the truth of the matter? Can you let me die in peace?"

The princess's tone was earnest.

The maid trembled in her heart. She had a very happy time with the princess. She didn't want the princess to know that she was just a pawn. Whoever made the princess miss her was the elegance of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. The yearning in her eyes couldn't fool her.She always felt that the princess did not belong to the Yelang Kingdom but to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, but she never thought of killing the princess.Now hearing the princess's self-pity, she felt uncomfortable.

Her master is still the princess' elder brother, so he can do it, but she is just an ordinary killer under his command. When she is worthless, is it also the result of her death?

The princess looked at the shaky personal maid and stepped up her efforts to persuade her.

"I know that my death is for the righteousness of the family, and I am not afraid. But what about you, will you have a good result after doing this kind of thing? After you kill me, you will flee to the ends of the earth, and you have been to other countries."

The personal maid was even more shaken.She has been a killer for so many years, and she has encountered all kinds of situations, but she has never been so shaken.

She was a little panicked, she had already fallen into a demonic barrier, this was an endless loop, if she killed the princess, she would be silenced by the master, but in fact she had fallen into the princess's misleading at all.

The princess just gave her a setting, but she didn't consider that the setting wasn't true at all.

Seeing her in a state of confusion, the princess took advantage of her unpreparedness, lowered her body, kicked the sharp sword away, and knocked her unconscious with one hand.And the timid little maid also stood up straight, her face was very calm, without any expression of fear.

"Princess, you guessed correctly." The little maid said.

"We need to pack up and go to General Zhou's place before the next wave of people come to attack." She took out a delicate porcelain bottle from her bosom, put it on the tip of Jiayi's nose, and fanned the fragrance into Jiayi's breath with her hands .

This is her unique secret recipe, which can make people forget what just happened.

The little maid tore off the princess's complicated gown and put on her light clothes, and the two of them, as light as a swallow, slipped away from the inspectors, and the princess followed the little maid into Zhou Che's barracks quietly.

"Princess, you are so predictable. Zhou is ashamed!" Zhou Che felt relieved the moment he saw Princess Yelang.

"General Zhou, happy cooperation." The princess was always deserted, but this time she smiled brightly.

"The princess waits first, Zhou will come as soon as he goes."

Zhou Che went out and explained a few words to the people around him.

After a while, the lights were brightly lit, and the night was bright.

"It's not good, the princess was stabbed, it's not good, the princess was stabbed." These words suddenly boiled.

When Zhou Che and the envoy met, both of them pretended to be distraught and wrestled with each other.It was almost at dawn that an agreement was reached, but tacitly did not propose to find an imperial doctor to see the princess.

17. Eastern Zhou Dynasty Catastrophe

The news that Princess Heqin was attacked by an assassin spread back to Kyoto, causing an uproar.

There were divergent opinions in the imperial court for a while, and the inside and outside of the court and the public were not very smooth.

An official in the court said, "Princess Heqin was assassinated, and the emperor should punish General Zhou severely. His face is hard to offend, and the country's prestige is weak."

Unexpectedly, the little emperor did not act accordingly.

Zhou Xu received the secret letter brought back by Gray Eagle at night, and Zhou Che commented on the matter of the princess and the conspiracy against the Yelang Kingdom.At the same time, he wrote to the emperor, so the little emperor made the decision to punish General Zhou the next day.

As the night became cold, Ji Rui picked up the leather robe and covered Zhou Xu's body, "Master, it's windy at night, let's go back to the house."

"It's okay, did Gray Eagle bring any new news?"

"Not for the time being. From the perspective of the master, is the matter of the princess taking refuge in believable, or is the princess also a part of it?"

"Don't panic. Zhou Che has already explained everything about the princess. From the investigation report, we can know that she is at odds with the current prince of Yelang Kingdom, and has not been loved by Lord Yelang."

After a pause, she said: "The princess lives in a deep palace, but she can understand the internal affairs and military tactics of the Yelang Kingdom. It can be seen that she is not an ordinary woman. She can tell these secrets frankly, which shows that she is an open-minded person. She said she admired her name. Eastern Zhou Kingdom, these words are not false."

"I think back in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, when a hundred schools of thought contended, every country had rulers from other countries, and this princess wanted to follow suit."

Jirui asked: "Then the princess of the Yelang Kingdom has a lot of plans, she wants to join hands with our country, kill the prince, and become a female emperor herself.
