Chapter 73 Life and Death Tribulation Falling off a Cliff
"Maybe there is another way to use you as a bargaining chip in negotiations!"
Meng Xinzhu turned to look at him, feeling that this person should be someone who knew her identity as the imperial concubine, so he said such things. Is this his purpose? "Do you think it is useful?"
"It's no use?"
"Hahaha! Politics itself is not a dark substance. It's just that people who play politics are dark. It seems that you are also involved in it." Meng Xinzhu poured another cup of tea. After the effect of the medicine wore off, she was very thirsty. "However,
Your wishful thinking was wrong."
"Are you saying he's cruel to you?"
Meng Xinzhu frowned, did Hongde Longqiu have feelings for her? She seemed to have never thought about this question.
"Whether you are sentimental or ruthless, it doesn't matter. What matters is whether you want to become a famous politician. If you want to, you must have a choice. Life is like playing chess. If you take one step and watch the other, you are not a good chess player. If you take one step and watch the other, you will not be a good chess player.
You are not a very good chess player. To win the game of life, you must start now and look to the future. Just like playing chess, the further you look, the greater your chances of winning." Meng Xinzhu took a sip of tea and said, "I don't know.
How much do you know about me, but I know that if you can achieve your goal by using me, it means that the person you are negotiating with is not a skilled chess player. This kind of person is easily tied up, and will be burdened by emotions.
, it’s not worth your efforts to deal with it.”
"Aren't you afraid that if you lose your use value, you will lose your life?"
Meng Xinzhu put down the teacup, "Of course, if it has no utilization value, it has no existence value. I'm full now, you can do it anytime you want!"
The man looked at her, the smile at the corner of his mouth gradually became apparent. He admired this woman more and more. He already knew her talent and knowledge, but he didn't expect that she also had extraordinary courage. It was a pity that she was a girl. If she were a man, there must be something
What a good idea. He smiled and realized that he had indeed chosen the wrong person.
"It's late at night, you should rest first! Don't worry, no one will touch you here, including me."
Meng Xinzhu slept peacefully that night. When she woke up in the morning, she found a set of women's clothes on the bedside. She frowned, still wearing her men's clothes. When she opened the door, there was no guard outside. She raised her eyebrows and walked to the yard.
.
The man stood quietly in the corridor behind her. Although he wanted to see her in women's clothing, he didn't want to force her.
The weather was very good today. Meng Xinzhu squinted her eyes and looked up at the sky. Then she was about to look elsewhere, but she found the masked man standing behind her. She was startled and cursed how men in this era like to stand silently while others
behind!
"Did you scare me? I'm sorry. I just saw that you were very focused and couldn't bear to disturb you!"
"Forget it, I'm used to it."
"Let's go, it's time to have breakfast."
Breakfast was a noodle soup with extra chopped green onion. Meng Xinzhu looked at the man, he just smiled. She raised her eyebrows, sat down and started mixing the noodles, and then took a bite, "Well, it tastes good, better than what the noodle stall owner makes."
It’s delicious.”
The masked man sat across from her and looked at her with a smile, "You don't have to worry about poison here, and you're quite happy eating it."
"Toxic is poisonous. Yesterday I said that you will either kill someone or kill you. Anyway, I can't beat you. I'll take care of you as soon as you come."
The masked man laughed, "You are really thinking!"
"It is better to be relieved than to be worried, and it is better to be poor and happy than to be nervous."
"Hahaha!" He could now understand why the emperor, who never took his concubine out of the palace to play, actually took her out. How could such a woman not make people fall in love? No wonder the people in Yuedu were so nervous. They had been searching for her one after another.
I have been in the city for several days. It seems that this woman is indeed very important in the emperor's heart.
Meng Xinzhu put down the bowl and chopsticks, wiped her lips with a silk handkerchief, "Thank you for the breakfast, but I think you should be able to explain your intention of coming to me. Whether it is voluntary or involuntary, I don't like to be in front of others for unknown reasons.
Free food and free accommodation at home.”
"What if I said I just wanted to invite you over for fun?"
"Hahaha, let yourself believe this first before you say it."
The masked man smiled, and a man dressed as a domestic servant suddenly walked in and said a few words in his ear. Although he couldn't see his expression, you could tell by looking at his eyes that something important must have happened.
"I have something to do now. You can move around the whole house as you like. You are a smart person and you should know where not to go." After that, he turned and left.
The house was not big, so Meng Xinzhu walked around casually and sat by the pond.
Alas, I feel really sad when I think about it. After all, I am also a famous figure in modern society. How come I am in this ancient society in another time and space?
Just like the women and children here who have no power to tie a chicken.
Who could this masked man be? She searched through the people she had met in the past few months in her mind. She shook her head and had no impression at all. What did he want to do by kidnapping her? Could it be that he really wanted to marry Hong Delong?
Are you negotiating?
Thinking of Hongde Longqiu, Meng Xinzhu couldn't help but frown. She believed that he should have known about her disappearance. She wondered whether her godfather and Xiao Zhao would be punished. How could she have imagined that there would be trouble in Yuedu these days?
What a turn of events.
The masked man didn't return to the house until it got dark and the moon and stars came out. Meng Xinzhu was reading a random book in the room. "You are quite leisurely."
"Yeah, I'm bored now." Meng Xinzhu turned over a page of the book without looking at him.
The masked man sat across from her, "Since we're bored, let's talk."
"Okay..." Before she could finish her words, the masked man suddenly stood up, and she suddenly felt a strong murderous aura.
"You are so leisurely and elegant!" A tall man with a sword suddenly appeared at the door of the room.
Meng Xinzhu looked at the man who suddenly appeared. His eyes were so cold that she couldn't help but shudder.
The masked man stood in front of her, holding his hands behind his back and saying, "Why are you here?"
"You should know the purpose of my coming!"
"The mission is over!"
"But she's still alive!"
Oh, it turned out that he was here to kill her! Meng Xinzhu frowned. She looked at the masked man. Did he save her? But why did she feel that they should be in the same group?
"Now that I have intervened, I will not allow you to hurt her again!"
