Chapter 422 Chapter 422: Work hard to complete the KPI (2) [Dragon Boat Festival]
"Your Highness, this is the freshly stewed blood bird's nest, you can try it." The maid who was waiting on her body walked forward slowly, and with a voice pulled Her Highness Wang Ji back from her contemplation and reminiscence.
She pointed casually: "Put it down."
"Wei." The maid carefully put down the blood bird's nest, and walked out of the tent softly and slowly, leaving Wang Ji alone.
Looking at the precious bowl of blood bird's nest, Wang Ji felt troubled in her heart—after Shen Tang left, she carefully reviewed the conversation and various details between the two, and began to regret that she was too reckless and showed her hole card prematurely.
But the sad thing is that apart from this hole card, I have no other capital to make a deal with Shen Tang.
At first, she wanted to use her luster to seduce the other party, but the Sheriff Shen just wrote the words "too young to know women's sex" on her face, which made Wang Ji want to manipulate, but had nowhere to start. The other party didn't like her at all.
In addition to the hue, the rights and status that men like, I can't give it myself, she is just a mascot.
"...I just hope that this person is really reliable..."
Wang Ji used a small silver spoon to stir the blood bird's nest again and again—this is such a rare thing, not to mention her before, even the mistress who has the full power to manage the family can't afford it, but she has no intention of tasting it now. .
Not only was she worried that Shen Tang would be the second "heartbreaker" who would betray her trust, but she was also worried that Shen Tang didn't believe in the authenticity of the map, and she was most worried that there was something wrong with the map she gave out! If even Shen Tang is offended, he will become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, and every day is counting down.
Thousands of melancholy entangled, Wang Ji sighed and sighed.
Yes, read that right.
The map she gave Shen Tang on the veil, she herself cannot guarantee the authenticity, and the origin of this thing is also quite suspicious.
But she was desperate, like a gambler who had no chips in her hand and was desperate.
The only option is to put all your eggs in one basket.
Take a gamble, maybe you can turn the corner.
If you don’t gamble, it’s a dead end anyway.
Wang Ji chose to gamble.
Use the map given by the mysterious man.
It is said to be a mysterious person, but in fact it is a scholar of unknown age. After Wang Ji was awarded the title, she went to the Buddhist temple to burn incense and pray for blessings and met by chance. A gray Confucian shirt wraps the thin and thin body, and the hair on the temples is gray and white, as if he has been through vicissitudes.
This person called out Wang Ji's identity as soon as he saw it.
Ask her: [Your Highness, do you know that 'besieged on all sides'? 】
Wang Ji, who was worried about her future, was slightly touched by the scribe's words, like a drowning person in the river who caught a piece of driftwood, and his eyes burst out with bright light.
She asked for advice in a strange way: [There are songs of embarrassment everywhere, and enemies from both sides. How can the overlord have a life in this desperate situation? 】
【There is no unparalleled road in the sky, even if the sun is setting and the road is poor, there is also a glimmer of life. 】The scribe pursed his lips, the corners of his eyes were wrinkled, and his smile pierced through his eyes,【It depends on whether His Highness has the courage to fight back. 】
Wang Ji said: [I beg you to give me your advice. 】
Hearing this, the scribe took out a small package from his sleeve, handed it to Wang Ji under the puzzled eyes of Wang Ji, and said: [This item may be the key to your Highness's survival from a desperate situation. But before using it, you must keep your eyes open and consider it repeatedly, and you must not act too hastily, so as not to cause trouble to your upper body! 】
After this person said this, a strange wind blew, and Wang Ji couldn't open her eyes. When she lowered her arm that shielded her from the wind, she was shocked to find that she was not where she was. The temple is full of incense, and many wives and wives of officials like to come here to seek marriage. They came together, and it seems that they did not notice the sudden appearance of Wang Ji... No, no, she was offering incense in the main hall before she met the scribe!
What the **** does this happen?
Just thinking that he was hallucinating in broad daylight, he was surprised to find that mysterious little package in his sleeve.
This object silently proves that it is not an illusion!
Wang Ji didn't dare to say anything, she pretended to be okay, and went home surrounded by a group of maids, avoiding everyone to check the package, never dreaming that it was a map.
Looking at the labels and topography, it's amazing!
She broke out in a cold sweat.
Hurriedly wrote down a map, destroyed it immediately, and handled the residue after burning with care.
Afterwards, with the help of some methods learned in the inner house, the maps were engraved on different handkerchiefs.
Generally, there is no fault with the handkerchief, only the special fragrance of powder can be smelled, and the real content will be revealed only when it is baked. This ability is a unique skill that she developed by studying Gu Xiang. Through it, she helps "gifted scholars and beautiful ladies" secretly communicate with each other, collect hard money, and improve the quality of life in the back house.
Wang Ji couldn't figure it out, how could this map bring a glimmer of life to herself? Whether it's dedicated to Zheng Qiao, the lord of the country, or betrayed by the scribe to hold Shiwu's thigh, the end of her little chess piece is a dead end!
Maybe…
The opportunity is here!
Wang Ji's first target is actually not Shen Tang but the guard of Yonggu Gate. The latter controls the military power and has a blood feud with Shiwu. He has no reason not to be moved by this map! But when she really entered the role of Wang Ji, she realized how limited she was.
The guard chased them away like flies.
Wang Ji didn't have time to make a move at all.
She could only do the next best thing, observing the sheriff of Longwu County, inquiring about it secretly, summoning her three times to try her out, finally made her determined to seek cooperation. As for the authenticity of the map, it will naturally not be exposed.
Even if it's fake...
It has to be true before you get away with it yourself!
By the time Wang Ji came back to her senses, the blood bird's nest was completely cold.
Looking forward to Shen Tang's reply.
The reply did not come, but a raid came!
The moon is dark and the wind is high, which is a good opportunity for sneak attack.
At this time, everyone was already tired, and since the Shiwu King was only a few days away, the patrolling and guarding of the camp became more relaxed. Except for the beeping and beeping sound of the bonfire burning, there is only the snoring sound one after another in each camp, approaching the middle of the night in the blink of an eye.
It is the deepest sleep time.
Among the many tents, only Shen Tang's side still had light, and there were faint crackling movements of chess pieces falling on the board.
Jiang Sheng and Gu Chi are fighting to the death.
The main character, Shen Tang, was sitting next to him with a kettle in his arms, and his head was biting, his upper and lower eyelids were almost glued together. Finally, her head slammed on the edge of the chessboard, shaking her awake. Dazed: "It's already late at night, are you still coming?"
Gu Chi teased: "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."
Jiang Sheng frowned and looked at the situation on the chessboard.
The crease between the eyebrows can trap flies.
He said: "It's been three days in a row."
Gu Chi smiled and said: "If you want to catch a big fish, you always need some patience, don't be in a hurry, maybe it will be tonight."
Most sneak attacks are jokes to Gu Chi.
Because the enemy will actively expose.
Shen Tang yawned a lot, and said sleepily: "...I don't mind staying up late, but can you stop playing chess? This one is more effective than hypnosis..."
Believed in Gu Chi's evil, she stayed up for three days.
I'm afraid of missing a good opportunity to grab the head.
Coincidentally, the two also like to play chess. In a relatively quiet environment, the sound of chess pieces falling can be compared to hypnotism.
Gu Chi said: "Wait a little longer."
Shen Tang said helplessly: "The wolf is coming!"
Gu Chi's reputation is about to bottom out!
He intended to complain about Gu Chi, but in the end—
He snapped, and the chess piece fell.
said solemnly: "My lord, this time the wolf really came."
An abnormal light lit up outside the tent.
