That very night, a horse carriage escorted by nearly 50 solemn and dignified cavalrymen stopped in front of Madam Ya's mansion.
Following which, the curtains of the carriage were lifted up, revealing Madam Ya, who was wrapped in layers of bandages. She then alighted from the carriage with the help of two maidservants beside her. Her footsteps were hurried as she walked into the mansion. Finally, she stopped in front of her own bedroom.
"The two of you can leave now." Madam Ya stopped in front of her bedroom and said softly.
"This …" The two maids were hesitant and didn't know what to do.
"What, you don't even want to listen to me? Do you want me to sell you off?" Seeing the two maids hesitating, Madam Ya's face darkened and exuded a strong sense of authority.
"We don't dare." The two maids were frightened and their faces turned pale as they hurriedly knelt on the ground and said in a panic.
"Leave now!" Madam Ya reprimanded.
"Yes." The two of them didn't dare to hesitate and hurriedly replied before they got up and left.
After the two of them left, Madam Ya's eyes flashed. She looked nervous as she stretched out her hands and placed them on the wooden door in front of her. With a little force, she pushed the door open.
"Creak ~"
An ancient low sound immediately rippled through the quiet night sky.
"Chen Lang …" Madam Ya called out excitedly when she saw the situation in the room.
"Looks like you've understood." Sei Itō who was leaning on the wooden bed said softly with a smile.
"Yes." Madam Ya took a deep breath and suppressed her excitement. He hurriedly strode into the room and turned around to close the door. She then looked at Sei Itō and nodded heavily.
"Chen Lang is indeed very capable. I can't believe you thought of such a method to clear my name. I'm really impressed." Zhao Ya continued.
"This is just a small trick. There's nothing to be impressed about." Sei Itō sat up and said.
"Also, you might have to suffer for a while."
"What?" Madam Ya asked curiously.
Sei Itō smiled and asked, "Don't you feel that there's something wrong with your body?"
"This …" Madam Ya hesitated when she heard this.
Speaking of this. Madam Ya's heart was filled with questions. Although her body was wrapped in bandages, she didn't feel any pain from her wounds. At the same time, her footsteps weren't as weak as other injured people. Her body didn't seem to be weak either. It was as if the injuries she suffered were fake in the eyes of the imperial physician and the maidservant.
"Hehe, that's right. Everything was fake. It was just a smokescreen that I placed on your body to scare the people around you. "As if he knew what Madam Ya was thinking, Sei Itō continued with a smile.
"Camouflage?!" Madam Ya exclaimed in shock.
Sei Itō smiled and pointed at the ground. In an instant, a large pile of gold, silver, jewelry, and antiques suddenly appeared in the room. They were piled together like garbage.
"Do you think this is true?" Sei Itō asked with a smile.
Madam Ya stared in shock at the items that suddenly appeared on the ground. She walked forward quickly and touched them.
In an instant, she felt as if she had touched something real. A cold sensation traveled from her fingertips to her brain. Madam Ya couldn't help but look at Sei Itō.
Sei Itō didn't say anything. He pointed at the ground again and all the gold, silver, jewelry, antiques and antiques appeared just as they appeared. Suddenly, he disappeared, leaving behind only the empty ground and Madam Ya, who was at a loss for words.
"Is this true?" At this point, Sei Itō asked again.
"My dear Chen, could it be a deity?!" Madam Ya asked in shock.
Sei Itō smiled and didn't reply. However, in Madam Ya's heart, it was as if she had agreed. She was even more grateful for the decision she made at Marquis Ju Lu. Her eyes were filled with respect, just like the slaves and maids outside.
"Zhao Ya." Seeing the change in Madam Ya, Sei Itō's expression turned serious as he looked at her and called out.
"My dear Chen?" Madam Ya looked back at Sei Itō in shock.
"I want the country of Zhao. Are you willing to help me?" Sei Itō asked plainly.
"This …" Madam Ya stared in shock and didn't know what to do. However, because of the previous lesson, Madam Ya calmed down and gritted her teeth, "I will listen to your orders."
"You are really straightforward this time." Sei Itō laughed lightly.
"I won't hide it from you. I am completely disappointed in the Zhao family. Not only do they reject people who aren't from the country of Zhao, they also reject people who don't have the surname Zhao. This is the reason why the inexperienced Zhao Kuo was able to replace the Great General Lian Po. This led to the tragedy of Changping and caused the country of Zhao to decline. Now that my husband is willing to take over the Zhao Country, rather than letting it fall into the hands of others, and being reduced to a prostitute, why don't I use my hands to give it to my husband. Maybe it will bring about a new change for the Zhao Country, and we won't be bullied by the Qin Dynasty anymore. "Madam Ya sighed as she spoke softly.
Hearing up to this point, Sei Itō understood why Zhao Ya would indulge in sensual pleasures after Zhao Kuo's death. It was because she had lost all hope in her country and felt hopeless about the future. Thus, she used sensual pleasures to numb herself.
"However, there is one thing that I hope you can agree to." Madam Ya begged.
"What is it?" Sei Itō asked in return.
"My dear Chen, after you take over the country of Zhao, please let my Zhao family go. Even if you have to kill us, please let my Zhao family leave behind our bloodline." Madam Ya knelt down and begged.
It seemed like even though she had made her choice, she still had some feelings for the Zhao family and didn't want to see them get slaughtered.
"… I can agree to this." After a moment of silence, just as Madam Ya's heart sank, Sei Itō's voice rang out. However, before she could reveal a happy expression, Sei Itō's words rang out again.
"However, this is on the premise that they don't plot against us. Otherwise, regardless of whether they are old friends or not, I will not let them live." Sei Itō said coldly.
"I understand." Madam Ya bowed her head and replied.
After all, this wasn't the time when the royal family of Great Zhou was still around. The royal family didn't care about who was close to them and who was close to them. If they didn't implicate them, there would be one or two chances for them to restore the country. Hence, Zhao Ya understood that the man in front of her was giving her face. However, she also knew that this kind of thing couldn't be done a second time. If her family didn't take the bait and caused trouble, then they deserved to be killed. Who told you to not live properly and to covet riches and riches?
"Now, tell me what you think." Sei Itō's heart skipped a beat as he used his spatial powers to move Zhao Ya into his arms. He then placed his hand on Zhao Ya's chest and played with it as he asked.
Madam Ya was no longer surprised that she had suddenly appeared in the man's arms from the ground. However, she suppressed the shock in her heart and said, "If you want to take over the Kingdom of Zhao, you must first have an identity, and it must be an identity related to the royal family. Only then can you be justified in doing things."
"You're saying that you want me to change my appearance?" Sei Itō asked.
"If it's possible, then it will save a lot of trouble. However, I'm guessing that Chen Lang won't agree to this right? Hence, we only have the second method. Ke Ke … "Zhao Ya's mouth opened slightly as her breathing quickened.
"That is to marry a woman from the royal family!"
"You want me to marry you?" Sei Itō lowered his head and looked at Zhao Ya.
"Although I have such thoughts, I know that I'm not good enough for Chen Lang. Hence, I don't dare to hope for such a thing." Zhao Ya's face darkened as she said in a low voice, "However, there are two other women in the royal family who can be married off. One is my cousin, Zhao Ni, who is also the wife of Zhao Mu, the brother of my late husband Zhao Kuo. The other is my brother's third daughter, who is engaged to the Crown Prince of Wei, the third princess, Zhao Qian. "
"However, the former has been a widow for nine years and doesn't see men easily. Apart from my brother, she also doesn't show any interest in other men. The other is young and beautiful. She also doesn't want to marry into the Kingdom of Wei. However, my brother will never agree. "
After she finished speaking, Madam Ya paused before continuing, "As long as my dear Chen is able to marry either of them, I will be able to persuade my brother to give you an official position and extend your influence into the army. I believe that within a few years, my dear Chen will be able to become the second Prince of Ping Yuan Country. At that time, Chen Lang will have the time to steal the Kingdom of Zhao. "
"I didn't expect you to be so scheming." Sei Itō said as he pinched Madam Ya's chest.
"I've been trained to steal and spy on intelligence since I was young. Furthermore, with my status and body, I often go abroad to collect intelligence. Apart from my brother and Zhao Mu, no one else knows about this. Now that I've revealed everything to you, Chen Lang should know my intentions! "Madam Ya exclaimed softly as she looked at Sei Itō with her charming eyes.
"No wonder." Sei Itō said in realization. "Don't worry, as long as you don't overstep your boundaries, I will treat you well."
"Continue." Then he said again.
"Other than completing the above step, Chen Lang needs to pay more attention to Wuzhi." Madam Ya said.
"Wuzhi may seem like a simple horse merchant, but his animal husbandry has already taken up half of the Kingdom of Zhao. I also heard that he has activities abroad and is suspected to be in contact with the Qin people. Thus, my brother is wary of him. However, because his reputation in Zhao is too high and he has tens of thousands of generals, my brother does not dare to act rashly. He is afraid that his foundation will be shaken and other countries will take advantage of this!"
"Thus, whether it is to steal the country or to find help, Wuzhi is a good target to use."
Sei Itō nodded slightly as though he agreed with Madam Ya's words.
Seeing this, Madam Ya's smile grew and she continued, "Other than Wuzhi, Chen Lang only needs to pay attention to Guo Zhong and the old generals in the country because they will be a great obstacle to Chen Lang's plan to steal the country!"
