Chapter 706 Conversation on the road to the study (1)
General's Mansion, front hall.
Zhao Quanyou was sitting at the side, sipping the tea that the servant had just brought. Behind him, a baby-faced woman wearing a light green dress, a small satchel around her waist, was looking around curiously.
"Dad, is this the General's Mansion?"
If Di Xin were here, he would be able to recognize at a glance that the woman speaking was Zhao Yuer, whom he met when he met the bandits some time ago. But unlike her domineering and poisonous tongue back then, her behavior now can even be described as well-behaved.
Zhao Quan said softly to his daughter: "Yue'er, remember not to be rude when you see His Royal Highness Prince Yu later."
A trace of disapproval flashed in Zhao Yue'er's eyes, but she said obediently: "My daughter will remember it."
Zhao Quanyou nodded slightly. His daughter had always been well-behaved and always treated others with courtesy. He was not worried. He just mentioned it casually.
Obviously, Zhao Quanyou did not know his daughter's hidden nature, just as Zhao Yuer did not know his father's true identity as the killer of Mingyue Tower Tianzi No. 5.
Zhao Quanyou didn't want to take her with him when he first came to the General's Mansion today, but his daughter had been staying at the inn since she came to Yanqueguan, and she was a little exhausted after such a long time, so when she heard that he wanted to
When I came to the General's Mansion, I begged to come and gain some knowledge.
For now, he has no plans to attack Di Xin, and nothing will happen if he brings his daughter with him this time.
Zhao Yue'er was usually well-behaved and rarely asked him for anything, so Zhao Quan looked at his aggrieved daughter and soft-heartedly agreed to her request. Moreover, if he brought his family along with him, it might be possible to increase Di Xin's trust.
.
Looking at his well-behaved and obedient daughter, and thinking of her smile before leaving the house, Zhao Quanyou also had a smile on his face.
Zhao Yue'er saw her father suddenly smile, his big eyes blinking, and asked curiously: "Dad, what did you think of that makes you so happy?"
"I……"
Before Zhao Quanyou could say anything, he heard footsteps walking into the hall.
He turned around and saw that it was Laifu, the housekeeper who had just led him into the house.
Zhao Quanyou swallowed the rest of his words and stood up quickly with a flattering look on his face: "Mr. Laifu, has your Highness agreed to see me?"
Laifu glanced at the woman behind Zhao Quanyou without leaving a trace, nodded and said: "Follow me, His Highness asked the old slave to take Mr. Zhao to the study."
Hearing this, Zhao Quanyou suddenly felt a touch of excitement in his heart.
During this period, King Yu always met him in the hall every time he came. Even when he was checking his body, he was always in the hall. This was the first time that he was asked to go to the study to see him.
What does this mean?
This means that his status in King Yu's heart is getting higher and higher, and his trust is increasing, which means that the day when the plan will be successful is approaching.
The biggest characteristic of Zhao Quanyou's ability to become the best assassin in Mingyue Tower is not his cultivation, but his prudence. Therefore, although he has been constantly thinking of ways to gain Di Xin's trust during this period, he has never acted too hastily.
Instead, it was like running water, slowly permeating and changing King Yu's attitude towards himself bit by bit.
Even if it was confirmed that Di Xin was a useless person, he was ready for a protracted war.
He never does anything that is not in line with his identity, and he never makes any rash decisions. Even this strike while the iron is hot was made after deep consideration and found that it was consistent with his current identity and his current relationship with King Yu.
Just do it.
But this does not mean that he does not want the mission to end early. Although it is good to be cautious, sometimes the longer the time, the more variables there are. Therefore, after discovering that his previous behavior finally made substantial progress, he was slightly excited.
stand up.
How should an ordinary wealthy businessman behave when he finds that his status in the heart of someone he wants to curry favor with has increased?
Get carried away with your pride.
Yes, this is the normal reaction that an ordinary person should have at this time.
Under this kind of mentality, it is understandable to have some estranged behaviors, as long as they are not excessive.
Exiting the front hall, on the way to the backyard study.
Zhao Quan took a step forward, half a step behind Laifu, and asked in a concerned tone: "Mr. Laifu, I heard some rumors recently that there were some conflicts between His Royal Highness Prince Yu and the Xiantian Grand Master in the palace. I don't know.
whether……"
He looked hesitant, as if he was a little distracted and wanted to tentatively interfere with matters in the general's palace, but he also happened to ask about something he was really concerned about.
Every time he comes, there will only be three people left in the hall, namely him, King Yu and the innate grandmaster, so there is no need to worry about Laifu seeing through and his instigation.
Sure enough, I heard Laifu scolding me in a low voice without looking back: "Don't ask too much about the affairs in the house."
"Yes, yes, it's Meng Lang."
Zhao Quanyou seemed to have discovered something was wrong with him and showed a panicked look.
In a place where he could not see, Zhao Yue'er saw her father showing a groveling look, curled her lips in displeasure, and then quickly restrained her expression.
If her father found out that she had made such an unladylike expression, she would probably have to be slapped on the palm when she returned. Although her father would definitely not be willing to hit her hard as long as she acted coquettishly, she did not want to cause discomfort for herself.
Laifu, who was walking in the front, didn't know that the two people behind him were already playing a wonderful show in their hearts.
Although he scolded Zhao Quan, he started the topic himself after being silent for a moment.
"well……"
Laifu first sighed deeply, and then said with a frown: "Well, these things have been spread outside, so there is no need to hide it from Mr. Zhao."
He then warned: "But it's good for you, sir, to listen to these words. Don't talk nonsense after you leave the house."
Zhao Quanyou immediately promised: "Please save me, the affairs in the house will never be spread outside."
Laifu didn't care whether Zhao Quanyou's guarantee was true or false. As he said just now, those rumors had already spread in Yanque Pass. It was not a secret at all. The reason for the extra warning was just because he was the second housekeeper in the house.
It's just responsibilities.
Moreover, he really wanted to find someone to talk to.
During this time, His Royal Highness Prince Yu and Mr. Zeng Hongshen were at war with each other. He saw it in his eyes and felt anxious in his heart. However, given his status, it was difficult to find the right person to talk to about these things, so he could only keep these words in his heart.
.
Now Zhao Quanyou is a suitable candidate.
After Zhao Quanyou finished all kinds of guarantees, Laifu sighed again and said: "If things continue like this, I'm afraid it won't be long before Mr. Zeng leaves the General's Mansion."
