Chapter 496 The Wind Is Blowing

The heavy rain outside the window was still pouring down. In the dark night sky, lightning flashed from time to time, illuminating the entire sky.

Then, the thunder was about to come. The loud thunder shook the room slightly. Not far away, the sound of a child crying was faintly heard, but soon the sound was quickly covered by the heavy rain.

"Actually, I have always had a little doubt!"

Zhou Qiuning sat by the window, staring at the night rain.

"Why do we always see lightning first and then hear the sound when thunder strikes?"

She turned her head slightly, looked at the figure opposite, and chuckled: "Could it be that this sound was not sent by this lightning?"

Opposite her, Li Beifeng looked at her coldly and did not speak.

"Why don't you speak?"

Zhou Qiuning raised his eyebrows: "Don't you know?"

"Do you think I am in the mood to discuss this with you?"

Li Beifeng said coldly.

He didn't know what Zhou Qiuning's purpose was. What did she want to do by calling him here?

Reminiscing about the past?

Li Beifeng sneered in his heart.

He didn't think there was anything old between him and Zhou Qiu Ning.

"I understand your feelings, but..."

Zhou Qiu Ning chuckled: "I did it on purpose!"

Li Beifeng stared at her with a fixed gaze.

Zhou Qiu Ning said to herself: "I used you!"

Li Beifeng said in a deep voice: "I know."

"You don't know!"

Zhou Qiu Ning glanced at him: "Not only did I use you to enter the palace and meet Zhao Jing, I also used you to do something big!"

Speaking of this, she paused for a moment, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised: "Do you want to guess what big thing I did?"

"I'm not interested in playing dumb with you!"

Li Beifeng said expressionlessly.

"Are you angry?"

"..."

Zhou Qiuning looked at his expression, chuckled and shook her head: "Although I did use you, since I called you here today, I will not play tricks on you!"

"Xie Wan

She will be fine, and..."

Zhou Qiuning said softly: "I will return her to you intact, how about it?"

Li Beifeng's eyes suddenly condensed, and there was some disbelief in his eyes, staring at her.

"What?"

Zhou Qiuning chuckled: "Why are you looking at me like this?"

"Are you so kind?"

Li Beifeng naturally didn't believe it. Would this woman be so kind?

"What you said, am I a bad person?"

Zhou Qiuning glanced at him: "Think about it, when have I hurt you?"

Li Beifeng was startled, and then fell into silence.

Indeed, after knowing her for so long, the relationship between the two is very complicated.

This woman seems to always be in a state that people can't understand. But in fact, from beginning to end, she seemed not to have hurt Li Beifeng.

The only time was in Sunset City not long ago, that night she tried to assassinate Li Beifeng.

Apart from that, there was no real threat.

But...

Li Beifeng didn't say anything, even though she had not actually hurt him or the people around him. But for Li Beifeng, this woman was still very dangerous.

People who can't be controlled always need to be vigilant enough.

"Don't worry, I will return her to you intact. But before that, I am a little curious..."

Zhou Qiuning paused, with a smile in her eyes: "How did you hook up with her?"

"Why do you think it was a hookup?"

"What else?"

Li Beifeng said calmly: "Mutual affection!"

At this moment, Zhou Qiuning's face showed a trace of astonishment. Then, it seemed that she thought of something interesting.

"Hahaha..."

She laughed very happily and brightly.

"Mutual affection, hahaha..."

She laughed so hard that she was bent over backwards, without any image at all.

Li Beifeng looked at her expressionlessly, what was so funny?

"Your answer really caught me off guard!

"

After a while, she finally stopped laughing, but the smile on her face never faded: "So, you have quite a few people who are in love with you?"

"Is there a problem?" Li Beifeng said calmly.

"Of course there is no problem!"

Zhou Qiuning shook her head: "But, she is the Crown Princess!"

She squinted slightly: "I didn't expect that you would like this?"

Li Beifeng still didn't speak, this woman couldn't speak, he didn't want to answer.

He didn't like this!

There is no such thing as a thief in this world, there are only those who are attracted by beauty!

"I have another question!"

As if she had thought of something, Zhou Qiuning's eyes were a little moved, staring at Li Beifeng up and down, smiling.

After a moment, she suddenly asked: "Did it happen between you and her?"

Li Beifeng glanced at her and said coldly: "Is it important?"

"Very important!"

Zhou Qiuning narrowed her eyes meaningfully: "I want to know how far Zhao Jing has been cuckolded."

"Heh!"

Li Beifeng sneered: "So what?"

"From your tone, it seems that everything that should have happened has already happened?"

Zhou Qiuning raised her eyebrows.

"I don't want to continue talking to you about these useless nonsense!"

Li Beifeng glanced at her and said, "Where is she?"

"You're still too impatient!"

Zhou Qiuning sighed.

He was not in a hurry, he just didn't want to continue chatting with this woman.

Outside the window, the heavy rain was still falling.

Zhou Qiuning glanced at the night and said softly: "Actually, I called you here today because I wanted you to watch a play with me!"

"play?"

Li Beifeng was stunned.

"A once-in-a-lifetime show!"

She stared at the dots of lights in the distance, raising the corners of her mouth slightly.

"The show is about to begin!"

…

In the capital city shrouded in heavy rain, there was no one left on the streets.

After nightfall, every household goes to bed early

Chapter 496 The Wind Rises (Page 3/8), click the next page to continue reading.

Even in the bustling streets in the past, there were only a few fireworks today.

At the east gate of the capital city, there are still city defense soldiers standing guard on the city wall.

However, today's heavy rain was so heavy that there were far fewer patrols in the city on weekdays.

The heavy rain obscured the sight of the soldiers on the city wall.

Just a few kilometers outside the capital, in the dark night, several figures were approaching silently!

Above the city defense, a figure that looked like a general came to the city wall.

"General!"

The soldier standing guard spoke.

"Is there anything going on?"

the general asked.

"Tell the general, no!"

"Continue patrolling and cheer up!"

"yes!"

"..."

After walking around the city wall, the general didn't find anything wrong. He turned over and went down the city wall again, and came to a small room on the side.

Shaking the rain off his body, he sighed.

It's raining really hard. I haven't seen such heavy rain for a long time.

The general returned to the room, came to the table beside him, sat down, and was about to pick up the things on the table.

A figure appeared silently behind him, and at the same time, a sword was pointed at his neck.

"Don't move!"

The general was stunned and did not dare to move further.

But when I heard the voice behind me, it seemed vaguely familiar.

"Sir, who is he?"

"What do you think?"

Hearing this voice, the general's eyes widened and he turned around in disbelief: "It's you? You, what do you want to do?!"

The person holding him hostage behind him turned out to be a small leader under his command.

"Do you know what you're doing? Are you crazy?"

"General, of course I know what I'm doing!"

The little leader looked at the general expressionlessly: "This can only be blamed on General, because you don't know how to praise!"

The general seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes suddenly widened: "Is it you, is it you?"

"General, I've offended you too much!"

Chapter 496 The Wind Rises (Page 4/8), click the next page to continue reading.

As soon as he finished speaking, the little leader slapped the general on the back of the head so hard that he fainted.

The little leader stepped forward and took out a jade talisman from the general's pocket. Then, he packed up the things in the room and hid the general. Then, he turned and left the room and came to the city gate.

"Open the door!"

The soldiers guarding the city at the door were stunned and said, "The general has ordered that no one is allowed in or out during the curfew!"

The little leader took out the jade talisman from his arms: "This is the general's order!"

As soon as the few people saw the general's order, they immediately obeyed the order and hurried to open the city gate.

At the same time, several figures appeared on the city wall in the dark night. The soldiers who were originally standing guard had their necks cut before they even reacted.

Night, silent.

The entire east gate city defense of the capital was quietly controlled by defense changes.

Then, several black shadows entered from outside the city silently, in a mighty force.

All of this was concealed in the darkness.

…

royal palace.

It's late at night!

But the lights in the imperial study room haven’t gone out yet!

In the room, Emperor Zhao sat at the table and looked down at the memorial in his hand.

Although he had ignored the government affairs for many years, some things that happened inside and outside the court could not escape his eyes and ears after all.

Emperor Zhao felt a little uneasy tonight.

He frowned slightly, feeling indescribable.

I just have a vague feeling that something big is going to happen?

He raised his head and glanced out the window. It was still raining heavily outside the window.

It's been raining heavily for a day, which makes people feel depressed.

"Somebody come!"

Not long after, a eunuch came to his side: "Your Majesty!"

"Did anything happen in the palace tonight?"

"Your Majesty, no!"

Emperor Zhao waved his hand: "Okay, go down!"

The eunuch bent down and nodded: "Your Majesty, if you have any instructions, just call me Lao Nu."

After the eunuch retreated, Emperor Zhao still looked at the night outside and remained silent. #

r# Ying'er still hasn't been found!

The people sent out have been there for two days and should have returned, but why has there been no result until now?

And Ying'er...

Ying'er is his favorite daughter and the most capable daughter.

It's just a pity that she is a girl and can't inherit the orthodoxy of Dazhao.

Once upon a time, Emperor Zhao had thought about it, but he finally gave up.

The ancestral precepts are not something he can change. Even if he wants, the ministers in the court will never allow it, and the people of the world will definitely not allow it.

By then, I'm afraid it will cause chaos in the world, and the gains will not outweigh the losses!

Although Jing'er is not outstanding in talent and has many ambitions. But in any case, he is the most suitable candidate.

But...

Emperor Zhao still has some doubts in his heart.

Was it him who assassinated Ying'er?

Another figure appeared in Emperor Zhao's mind, and then his eyes showed fear.

Li Wushuang!

Why did she appear in the capital at this time?

Northern Qi has been destroyed for nearly 20 years, and it should have been buried in the dust long ago. She appeared at this time, is she brewing some plan?

Emperor Zhao had a blank expression.

The destruction of Northern Qi was his most proud achievement. Even though he invested a lot of effort, money and material resources, he finally annexed Northern Qi.

With the territory of Northern Qi, he no longer needed to worry about the threat from the north. But people all over the world had mixed opinions about his battle, and many of them cursed him.

"They are all cunning people!"

Emperor Zhao said coldly: "How can cunning people know my ambition!"

"Ahem..."

At this moment, Emperor Zhao coughed violently twice, and his face looked a little ugly.

He covered his chest and took a deep breath.

It seems that the hidden disease is about to relapse!

He looked down at his chest and was a little unwilling.

He was injured and left with a very serious old disease. All this was thanks to that woman Li Wushuang.

He almost died at the hands of that woman. Even though he was later rescued by Zheng Tongling

Chapter 496 The Wind Rises (Page 6/8), click on the next page to continue reading.

He was left with hidden diseases.

Over the years, he felt weaker and weaker. Because of this, he kept looking for ways to maintain health and longevity.

He didn't want to die!

As the most powerful and noble person in the world, he certainly didn't want to die.

He still had a lot of things to do, he hadn't yet achieved his ambitions, and he didn't want to die.

Therefore, over the years, he kept looking for ways to live longer, looking for famous doctors all over the world, and looking for all the Taoist practitioners who claimed to be immortals in the world.

He even took countless pills to maintain his hidden illness.

At first, those pills were indeed effective and suppressed his hidden illness. But as time went on, the effects of those pills gradually became less strong, and then the amount of pills he took became heavier.

Thinking of this, Emperor Zhao took a deep breath and turned to leave the imperial study.

In the harem.

The hall was empty.

Sandalwood filled the hall, and the three Taoists were sitting on the futon in the hall.

"Your Majesty!"

When Emperor Zhao stepped in, three Taoists stood up and said respectfully.

"No need to be polite!"

Emperor Zhao waved his hand, "I feel a little unwell tonight, why is that?"

One of the Taoists said respectfully: "Your Majesty has been very tired recently and neglected to practice. Once you stop practicing, there will be backlash side effects..."

"That makes sense!"

Emperor Zhao nodded slightly. He was busy dealing with Ying'er's assassination these days and had indeed not practiced for two days.

"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself!"

Another Taoist bowed and took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve: "This is the elixir that I specially developed for your Majesty. It can relieve your Majesty's urgency for a while."

Immediately afterwards, the eunuch behind Emperor Zhao came forward and planned to test the medicine.

All the elixirs to be given to your Majesty must be tested by someone to confirm that there is no problem before they can be given to your Majesty.

However, Emperor Zhao tonight waved his hand: "No need!"

As he said that, he picked up the 'immortal pill' in the porcelain bottle. The elixir

Chapter 496 The wind is blowing (page 7/8), click on the next page to continue reading.

It exudes a fragrant scent, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

"It's really an elixir!"

Emperor Zhao put the elixir into his mouth, and the elixir melted in his mouth.

Soon, Emperor Zhao felt a shock all over his body, and a feeling of relaxation surged into his heart.

As the elixir melted, he was much more energetic.

"It's really an elixir!"

Emperor Zhao couldn't help but admire.
