"I will never forget the sight of him rushing over to save me in his battle armor! He was like a god in my heart when he appeared in the room with a murderous look on his face! At that time, my brother was also in a difficult situation in the capital and was humiliated. After learning about this, he didn't feel lucky that I was out of danger. Instead, he encouraged me to seduce Shang Jianbo for no other reason than to borrow King Ning's power to protect myself! "
Speaking of this, she took another sip of wine and her eyes became more and more blurred. "He studied at night on the battlefield and took the lead on horseback. Shang Jianbo was well-versed in both literature and martial arts. When he was in his teens, he went to war with the generals and spent a long time on the battlefields at the border. When I first met him twenty years ago, he was already showing his talent and had quite a reputation in the army. He was in his prime! His brother, Shang Jianluo, who is the current emperor of Yan, stayed in the capital for a long time and was familiar with the government affairs. The two brothers walked the path of civil and military affairs respectively. "
"As for Shang Jianluo, when my brother and I were in a difficult situation, we often went to him for help."
"However, Shang Jianluo and Shang Jianbo were different. As long as Shang Jianbo had military achievements, he would be able to speak with confidence. Shang Jianluo cared more about his relationship with the officials. Because he cared about the position of the crown prince, he didn't want to offend certain officials. When we asked for help from our big cousin, the consequences were obvious."
"My brother saw hope when Shang Jianbo beat up Tong Mo. He saw that Shang Jianbo was different from Shang Jianluo. In order to survive, he set his sights on Shang Jianbo and asked me to seduce him. Although I was in a difficult position, I didn't reject it. Because from the moment Shang Jianbo rescued me from the Tong Mansion and sent me home, I had already fallen in love with him. So, I often tried to get close to him. "
"After Shang Jianbo saw through my feelings, he declined and even avoided me. At that time, Shang Jianbo already had a wife and a son. Shang Chaozong was still nowhere to be seen. But I didn't care about this. I was crazy. As long as I could get him, I would rather give up the title. In the end, even heroes have a weakness for the charms of a beautiful woman. My wish came true, and the two of us were together. "
Yuan Gang was speechless. Cousins actually … However, when he thought about how it was normal for cousins to marry in this era, he could only accept it.
"Later, the situation in the world changed. Yan was forced by the need to unite with the State of Zhao and wanted to send us back to the State of Zhao. My brother and I finally made it to this day and survived. But at that time, I didn't want to go back. I only wanted to be with Shang Jianbo. But my brother didn't allow it. He said that as a princess, I can't follow a man without a proper status. Also, I can't be a concubine. Otherwise, the Kingdom of Zhao wouldn't be able to afford it! "
"He even said that a princess marrying into another country is a form of marriage. He also said that now that Yan Zhao has a favor to ask from Zhao, even if Shang Chaozong wants to marry me, Yan Zhao has to show his sincerity. To put it bluntly, he is asking for benefits from Yan Zhao!"
"At that time, I was very naive. I secretly ran away and hid in the mountains in the middle of winter. I was hungry and cold. Later, Shang Jianbo braved the heavy snow and personally brought people to find me. I was very touched. I thought that he wanted to stay with me forever. Who would have thought that he would personally send me back to the State of Zhao. "
"That day, the snow was very heavy. He rode on the back of the horse and didn't move at all. Before I got on the carriage, I shouted at him, I hate you!"
"The person I love the most is also the one who hurt me the most!"
Speaking of this, her face was already full of tears, as if she was recalling the scene of that day.
Yuan Gang was expressionless and silent.
"After returning to the State of Zhao, I heard news about him one after another. He rose very quickly and became a famous general. As the commander of the heroic Wu Lie Graud, he was invincible and his prestige shook the world!"
"And in order to appease the then Jinzhou Provincial Governor, Xiao Huang, my father and mother married me to Xiao Huang's son, who was also my late husband, Xiao Bieshan."
"Not long after, Xiao Huang passed away and Xiao Bieshan took over the State of Jinzhou. After that, my father passed away and my brother took over the throne. My brother was very ambitious and wanted to pacify the feudal vassals. He didn't even want to let my brother-in-law go! "
"I didn't expect him to let me go! When my father and mother sent me to the Yan State as a hostage, they said that it was for the sake of the people of Zhao. When they forced me to return to the State of Zhao, they said that I couldn't bring shame to the State of Zhao. When they forced me to marry Xiao Bieshan, they said that it was for the sake of the State of Zhao … "
"Actually, at that time, I gradually understood that it was useless to rely on others. It was better to rely on myself. I would no longer be manipulated by them. Therefore, I contacted Shang Jianbo and tried to persuade him with emotion and reason. I asked for help! Shang Jianbo convinced the imperial court of the Yan State and personally led the army to the border, causing fear in the State of Zhao and finally resolving the siege of the State of Jinzhou. It was also at that time that I attracted the attention of the Ten Thousand Heavenly Abode! "
"My father and mother sent me to the Yan State as a hostage for the sake of the State of Zhao. Forcing me to return to the State of Zhao was also for the sake of the State of Zhao. Forcing me to marry a sickly man was also for the sake of the State of Zhao. My brother wanted to kill my husband for the sake of the State of Zhao. Presumably, Shang Jianbo was also doing it for the sake of the State of Zhao. Now, my brother probably wants to get rid of me. Of course, the reason is also for the sake of the State of Zhao. All of them are doing it for the sake of the State of Zhao. How can I, a woman, bear their State of Zhao? "
"Come to think of it, leaving Shang Jianbo might not be a bad thing. You should have heard of Shang Jianbo's fate. If I had followed Shang Jianbo back then, I'm afraid I would also have died without knowing why. Haha!" She was laughing and crying at the same time. She held the wine pot and raised her head to gulp it down.
Yuan Gang snatched the wine pot from her hand and threw it back into the lotus pond. He stood up and said coldly, "Daoye is also doing it for you. Don't ruin your own business." After saying that, he strode away.
Hai Ruyue, who had her back facing him, secretly bit her lips. What a stone-hearted man!
When she stood up and turned around, Yuan Gang was already gone.
Then, she ordered someone to look for the butler, Zhu Shunlai, and told him about the matter of Niu Youdao.
After arranging the matter, she was already a little tipsy, and her steps were a little messy. Just as she returned to her room, a hand hugged her waist from behind the door.
She turned her head and saw that it was Elder Li Wuhua of the Ten Thousand Heavenly Cave Mansion. His hand was already touching the parts of her body that he shouldn't touch.
"I heard that you have been very close to that Yuan Gang guy recently. Don't tell me you've fallen in love with him?"
"Of course not. That Niu Youdao is indeed a talent. I just want to get closer to Niu Youdao through the people around Niu Youdao."
"That better be the case. I've already said that you're mine!"
"If you want me to be yours, that's easy. Just marry me. Do you dare to marry the Princess Royal of Zhao? You only dare to take advantage of me. Hmm … "
After saying that, she was carried to the bed …
Yuan Gang, who was on his way back from the Fragrant Pavilion, had a heavy heart. He had cast a net across the whole of Zhao. This was the Yan Imperial Court making a move against Daoye. Daoye was in danger!
When he returned to the courtyard, he saw Wei Duo. He closed the door and said in a low voice, "Daoye is in danger. We can't wait any longer. We can only talk about removing the seal on your body later. I'm going to do it now!"
Wei Duo nodded. "Okay!"
Yuan Gang said, "Pack your things as soon as possible. I'm going to create a commotion. Once it happens, you should immediately take advantage of the chaos to escape. I'll find you later. We'll meet at the intersection on the right side of the street!"
"Okay!" Wei Duo nodded vigorously.
"There are a lot of medicine hoarding, so the commotion might be a little big. Don't panic and don't think too much. Once there's a commotion, leave immediately, understand?"
"I … I understand!" Wei Duo nodded again.
Yuan Gang immediately went into the inner room to carry a wine jar out and left the small courtyard.
Wei Duo quickly packed his luggage.
Yuan Gang carried the wine jar to the garden of Lingering Fragrance Pavilion and strolled into a rockery.
He quietly observed his surroundings and squatted down. He reached into a small hole at the bottom of the rockery and took out something wrapped in oiled paper. He tore the oiled paper and pulled out something that looked like a hemp rope, which he led to the ground.
Dong! The wine jar made a hole on the edge of the rockery, and a black sand-like substance leaked out. It was poured onto the rope-like substance and piled up. Then, carrying the wine jar, he slowly got up and walked. As he walked, the black sand poured down, leaving a black line on the road behind him. From time to time, he would look back.
Feeling the weight of the wine jar in his hand, he nonchalantly walked to the side of a pavilion and sat on the steps.
She placed the wine jug at the side and took out a match from her bosom. Noticing that two maidservants were passing by near the fake mountain, she waited for them to walk far away before she took out the match in her hand and lit it. She then poked the black sand on the ground.
Psst! A puff of smoke rose and a streak of sparks quickly followed the path of the black sand.
Yuan Gang picked up the wine jar and immediately got up, walking quickly towards a forest.
Boom!
There was an earth-shattering noise. The rockery was torn apart and the wind howled in all directions.
Yuan Gang took a big stride forward and flew into the forest. The force of the explosion rushed over and destroyed the flowers and trees. Yuan Gang dodged to the side behind a big tree. A few large rocks whizzed past, and the big tree that was blocking the way was smashed by one of the rocks, sending sawdust flying everywhere.
Everyone in Lingering Fragrance Pavilion trembled. Those sitting on the chairs were stunned and those walking on the road felt the ground shaking.
The deafening noise startled everyone.
Was this the noise they were talking about? Wei Duo's legs trembled in shock. Then, he picked up his bag, turned around, and ran.
Cultivators appeared from all directions, climbing up high to look in the same direction. Every one of them was bewildered, not knowing what was going on. Quite a few of them flew towards the place where the smoke and dust were rising. Who would pay attention to whether or not anyone had left?
Yuan Gang rushed to the wall and jumped over it. He landed outside Lingering Fragrance Pavilion and walked quickly towards the main street with his head down.
The people on the street were dumbfounded and looked at the place where the smoke rose.
"Just … just now …"
At the intersection of the street, Wei Duo stuttered when he saw Yuan Gang walking over.
Yuan Gang pulled his arm and said in a low voice, "Leave the city now. Once the city is sealed, it will be hard to leave!"
The two of them quickly passed through the dazed crowd on the street and left.
In the Provincial Governor's Mansion, after the pleasure, Hai Ruyue, who had fallen asleep under the influence of alcohol, was jolted awake by the sound of 'heavenly thunder.' She could feel the aftershocks from the ground and heard the noise that came from outside. She quickly got off the bed naked and tore off her clothes to put them on.
In the end, she walked out of the room with disheveled hair. Seeing that the sky was clear and didn't look like thunder, she saw the chattering maids and shouted, "What happened just now?"
