The Queen stared blankly at the note in her hand, her expression becoming a little uncertain.
Liu Mingzhi on the side could easily see that the Queen's arm holding the note was trembling slightly.
It took a long time for the queen to come back to her senses and subconsciously glanced at Young Master Liu beside her.
Seeing the surprised reaction on Young Master Liu's face, he started to murmur in his heart. It seemed that the unscrupulous person had not guessed that the information contained such content.
Obviously this plan was not part of Liu Dashao's plan.
For a moment, the Queen couldn't help but doubt the authenticity of the information.
The queen couldn't help but think of the words she had told the ministers of civil and military affairs to deliver food and fodder as soon as possible before she retreated from the court, and her heart tightened.
Could it be that one of the twelve grain transport officials was really bribed with a lot of money by the spies under Liu Dashao?
She picked up the note and took another look at it. Looking at the distinct figures of 150,000 taels, the Queen suddenly felt uncertain.
Just ask how many people in this world, good or bad, loyal or treacherous, can resist the temptation of 150,000 taels of silver. Even though the Queen is the king of a country, she has to admit that 150,000 taels of silver is not a small amount of money.
As long as anyone has 150,000 taels, it is enough for three generations of ancestors to live a life of prosperity and wealth without worrying about food and clothing.
What makes the Queen helpless is that the 150,000 taels of silver are just an insignificant amount in the eyes of the Liu family. The Queen has no doubt that Liu Zhi'an can throw out the 150,000 taels of silver without feeling the slightest bit of distress.
Help his son return to the dragon.
After all, the Liu family's reputation as a wealthy country is not for nothing.
All the coincidences collided, making the Queen's heart waver.
It's not that she doesn't want to trust the ministers under her command, but that she can't afford the gamble, because once she loses the bet, the idea of keeping Liu Mingzhi will be completely invalidated.
Looking at Liu Mingzhi's strange expression, the Queen stood up with the note and glared at Young Master Liu fiercely.
"You are heartless, just give up on this idea. I said that I will definitely win this bet, and I must win!"
"I won't give you any chance to leave the palace."
Young Master Liu shrugged helplessly and looked at the Queen's "severe" eyes innocently, looking very sad.
"To put it bluntly, you have seen it, and I have seen it too. It is a rescue operation arranged by their own savior with great care and without permission. I don't know what's going on inside at all."
"The ministers under your rule can be bribed by them, which only shows that they are unable to regard money as dirt. Can you blame me for this?"
"I don't even know the specific information and you discovered it. I feel even more uncomfortable."
The Queen glared at Young Master Liu with an innocent expression, tore the note in her hand into pieces and threw them at Young Master Liu.
"Wash your clothes well. If you dare to leave the Shangshufang Palace, don't blame me for being rude to you. I was kept in bed for three days without being able to get out of bed."
Listening to the Queen's threatening words, Young Master Liu couldn't help but shudder and felt a slight pain in his back.
Nodding with a wry smile, Liu Mingzhi murmured at the people around him: "I would like to leave the confines of the study room, but I'm afraid some people won't give me a chance."
"We are both half-step innate masters, but I have no confidence that one can defeat twenty."
"As long as you understand, please treat me well."
The Queen waved her fist threateningly at Young Master Liu, turned around and walked towards the Chancellor's Study Room.
Liu Mingzhi glanced at the Queen's hurried steps, and an unspeakable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
There is relaxation, reluctance, and sadness. It is hard to believe that one person can show so many expressions at the same time.
Liu Mingzhi picked up a piece of clothing and continued to wash it, lingering at the door of the Chancery's study room with a concealed gaze. Based on her understanding of the Queen, he knew that the Queen was definitely going to investigate the grain transport officials.
Sure enough, without even taking a break, the twelve people led by the bearded man got out of the palace wall and dispersed towards the city.
Now that there were eight masters monitoring him around the huge Shangshufang Palace, Liu Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
If eight people want to guard the entire Shangshufang Palace, they must keep a distance. In this way, the distance from which they can be monitored will be much further. As long as they use the action of drying clothes to dry clothes, they can secretly tie the prepared cloths to the clothes and pretend to dry them.
On the clothes hanger's glider, when they reacted, they could already use the glider to fly out of the Queen's copper-clad iron wall with the help of Qinggong.
Liu Mingzhi had just breathed a sigh of relief when suddenly dense footsteps came from around him. Liu Mingzhi was startled and glanced around subconsciously.
The archers of the Jinwu Guard who came forward one after another came towards the Shangshufang, gradually forming a circle to surround the Shangshufang Palace and Garden.
Looking at the half-moon-shaped men with their bows and arrows already bent, looking at him with eager eyes, the corners of Liu Dashao's mouth trembled twice.
It seems that I have underestimated the Queen's caution.
Although the hang glider is already beyond the range of the bow and arrow after it takes off with the force of the wind, it still takes time to fly into the sky.
Liu Mingzhi had no doubt that as soon as he took off into the air, he would be treated as a living target by the thousands of archers.
I have the internal power to form a body-protecting aura, but the glider doesn't have it.
It is not easy for arrows to penetrate the fabric on the hang glider.
Glancing at the specifications of the hang gliders placed randomly not far away, Mr. Liu calculated in his mind that his own internal strength was simply not enough to protect the entire hang glider with his internal strength.
Thinking of what would happen if the hang glider broke apart in the air, Young Master Liu shuddered and had a chilling, creepy feeling.
If you're lucky, you'll end up dead, but if you're not lucky, you'll be nothing but a pile of mud.
For a moment, Mr. Liu started to murmur.
Maybe this time I will really be defeated at the hands of the Queen.
If he wanted to leave safely in the arrow formation where thousands of people were intertwined, Liu Mingzhi, apart from the innate masters, had seen Qi Ya having this ability.
However, Qi Ya has practiced walking in the wind and snow to a great level, and she is only half a bucket of water at best.
Young Master Liu really doesn't have the courage to risk his life.
Unless these archers are restrained from firing arrows with all their strength, something must restrain their actions.
Liu Mingzhi couldn't help but think of the word hostage.
As soon as the idea came up, Mr. Liu threw it out of his mind. There were only two people in the entire palace who could be used as hostages, the queen and the little cutie.
Young Master Liu was reluctant to take anyone as a hostage. Moreover, on the Queen's side, it was still a question of who became whose hostage.
Liu Mingzhi sighed, and his mind began to think rapidly.
After a moment, Young Master Liu's eyes lit up, he thought about it, and walked towards the hang glider carrying a wooden basin filled with clothes.
Seeing that no one came forward, Liu Mingzhi took out a thick and wide piece of cloth from the bottom of the basin and put it on the hang glider as usual. This piece of cloth was the soul of the entire hang glider. Young Master Liu used the excuse of paving the way to put it on the hang glider.
on the wings, and then dry the clothes on it.
After all, silk is slippery and it is easy to damage clothes if you are not careful. It is understandable that Mr. Liu did this, and no one had any doubts.
From the window of the Chancery's study room, Hui'er stared closely at Mr. Liu's every move while he was drying his clothes. He looked back at the empress, who had equally bright eyes, and shook her head slightly.
"As before, he honestly washed his clothes and hung them to dry. He didn't have any intention of escaping. His position was farthest from the imperial garden. If he wanted to use Qinggong to fly over the palace wall, Feifeng could stop him in an instant.
."
"Having said that, why do I have a vague feeling in my heart?"
"Your Majesty is worried that Lord Liu has other options besides these two ways to leave the Kingdom of Jin?"
The Queen shook her head slightly and narrowed her bright eyes.
Looking at Mr. Liu who was drying clothes, he pondered for a moment and suddenly opened his eyes.
"No, when I think about it carefully, I always feel that whether it is the letter paper or the appearance of the man in black pretending to be the Admiral's secret agent, it is too coincidental. It seems to be deliberately diverting our attention."
"No, if you want to force the tiger to leave the mountain, the root cause of his departure must be Wuxin himself. Send an order to Feifeng and the others to quickly surround Wuxin."
"yes!"
After the last rope was tied, Liu Mingzhi chuckled and clapped his hands, waved away the wet clothes hanging on it and glanced in the direction of the study room.
"To put it bluntly, I won this bet after all."
The Queen, who had just jumped out of the window of the Chancellor's Study Room, suddenly changed her face when she heard Young Master Liu's joyful words. She stared blankly at Young Master Liu raising what she had always thought was a clothes drying rack.
Although the Queen didn't know what it was, her intuition told her that it was the instrument that Young Master Liu used to leave the Kingdom of Jin.
"Quick, stop him"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the eight directions and quickly smiled softly at the eight afterimages surrounding him. He waved his fingers into claws and the heavenly sword placed on the stone table in the pavilion let out a shocking sword chant and excited towards Young Master Liu.
Shoot away.
Liu Mingzhi held the frame of the hang glider in one hand and held the Heavenly Sword across his chest in the other. He glanced contemptuously at the eight figures surrounding him that were quickly approaching him.
"You eight come together, Liu Mingzhi has nothing to fear."
The expressions of the eight people changed with shock, with a look of humiliation on their faces as they moved faster, and the weapons in their hands were unsheathed and held in their hands.
"Take this young master's move and the Ninth Sword Song will be amazing."
The loose robes on Young Master Liu's body moved without any wind. The sword energy around his body was condensed, and the Heavenly Sword trembled even more in Young Master Liu's hands.
The Heavenly Sword in Liu Mingzhi's hand was swiped towards the eight people without even taking it out of its sheath.
The eight people hurriedly gathered their inner strength and swung the Heavenly Sword in Young Master Liu's hand.
However, something unexpected happened to the nine people. Liu Dashao, who was attacking fiercely, suddenly blocked the sky sword in front of his chest.
Eight different-looking weapons struck Master Liu's scabbard in an instant. Young Master Liu, who had just looked like an enemy, was shaken by the combined force of the eight people like a kite with its string broken.
It flew out horizontally.
The speed was beyond everyone's reaction. In the blink of an eye, he flew out of the height of the Shangshufang Hall, almost exceeding the limit of the bow and arrow range.
Liu Mingzhi, who was flying across the air, turned over with a kite, holding the frame of the hang glider with both hands, and looked back at the stunned people standing on the ground and waved.
By the time the archer reacted and wanted to release the arrow, it was already too late. He could only watch Young Master Liu flying higher and higher with a stiff expression on his face.
Nine half-step innate people fought in an instant, like lightning and flint. How could these Jin Wuwei, who only had rough fists and kicks, be able to deal with it.
"Thank you all for helping me. I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. Master Dalong will treat you to a drink when he comes one day... Uh-huh..."
Mr. Liu's face flushed and he groaned, forcing himself to shout out the last words.
"drink wine!"
"To put it mildly, I won this bet...poof...I won."
"But I...I'm not happy at all, but I...have to go back...I have reasons that I can't...say."
The Queen flew under the pavilion and looked at the glider, which was gradually getting smaller like an eagle. She was so lost that she could not recover for a long time.
Her face felt hot, and the Queen subconsciously raised her hand to wipe it. Looking at the red blood on her palm, the Queen suddenly looked worried and sad.
"Would you rather be shocked by the internal force to the point of self-harm than stay?"
"Your Majesty, I am incompetent!"
Everyone around the study room hurriedly knelt on one knee and looked at the Queen with shameful expressions.
Hui'er looked worriedly at the Queen's distraught look: "Your Majesty, are you okay? No one would have thought that a few sticks and a roll of cloth could make something soaring into the sky."
The Queen shook her head silently and walked towards the Chancellor's Study Room.
"You can never keep someone who wants to leave."
"That's it, that's it!"
"Mom, daddy left you a letter."
The queen looked at the little cutie blankly: "Did you know that your father is leaving today?"
The little cutie held her mouth and lowered her head with tears in her eyes, not daring to look into the Queen's eyes.
"Yue'er... Yue'er saw her uncle use this kind of thing to fly in the air at Dad's house in Dalong."
"Why didn't you come earlier...sigh..."
"Where's the letter?"
"here!"
The Queen tremblingly took the letter from the little cutie's hand and began to read it. After drinking tea, the Queen put away the letter in her hand with an inexplicable expression and walked towards the Chancellor's study room.
"Your Majesty, you..."
"I'm hungry, please ask the dining room to prepare some fish nuggets."
