The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Chapter 401 Dog Man and Woman

Zhou Shao shouted coldly, "Back off!" He then sneered, "Old Five, you have been in the army for many years, is this all you have? Do you think that if you hold me hostage and kill me, you can escape?"

Zhou Xu ignored him and shouted, "Prepare dry food, water, and a carriage for me. Hurry, or I will kill him!"

Zhou Shao's hand quietly reached for his waist. Zhou Xu's brows were fierce. He broke his hand, pulled out the dagger from his waist, and put it across Zhou Shao's neck, smiling contemptuously:

"idiot!"

Zhou Shao was sweating coldly from the pain, but he didn't say a word. He refused to show weakness in public, let alone in front of Zhou Xu and Shi Mingzhu.

The commander of the Imperial Guard ordered his men to prepare what Zhou Xu wanted.

Shi Mingzhu followed Zhou Xu closely, and when she passed by Tang Zhan, she raised her face hard so that Tang Zhan could see her face.

She has met Tang Zhan before. Tang Zhan should be able to recognize that she is a member of the Shi family, right?

Since you know that she is a member of the Shi family, you should know whether to choose the Fourth Prince or the Fifth Prince at this time.

Tang Zhan was speechless. He glanced at her and only looked at the two princes.

Shi Mingzhu was anxious. Was it because her face was swollen that Tang Zhan didn't recognize her?

She simply revealed her identity: "Master Xiao Tang, I am the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Don't misunderstand me. It was Prince Cheng who went too far and searched Prince Duan's Mansion for no reason. He arrested Prince Duan without an imperial decree, so His Royal Highness Prince Duan resorted to this desperate measure. You quickly ask the Imperial Guards to let us go. We promise not to harm Prince Cheng!"

This time, Tang Zhan should know which side to stand on, right?

Why don’t you go and notify the Northwest Army, they’re rebelling!

As long as they support Zhou Xu, they can easily find an excuse to purge the emperor and fight back to the capital, such as Concubine Ning's seductiveness and seduction of the emperor, or the eunuch Qin Shun, the most trusted eunuch of the old emperor, controlling the government...

Zhou Xu’s eyes went dark.

Why does Zhuzhu reveal her identity at this time?

Wouldn't this involve the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion as well and cut off their own escape route?

If Tang Zhan had been willing to join him, he would not have been imprisoned in the palace for so long.

Zhou Shao sneered and cursed back, "Idiot!"

He hated himself for being so blind that he fell in love with a shameless, stupid, yet ambitious woman like Shi Mingzhu!

The Tang family has already surrendered to the prince!

Didn't she think that he had never tried to win over the Tang family?

When Tang Zhan was in Beijing and drove away the masked Zhou Xu, he tried to win over Tang Zhan privately, but Tang Zhan refused again and again to avoid meeting him.

The spies even reported that Tang Zhan was suspected of having contact with the crown prince, so he dared not act rashly for fear of arousing suspicion from the crown prince and his father.

Tang Zhan's heart moved, and he took a step forward, frowning, and suddenly realized, "So it's Miss Shi, no wonder you look familiar to me. Miss Shi, why are you in Prince Duan's Mansion?"

The soldiers' gossipy hearts were burning and they all pricked up their ears.

Yes, isn't the eldest daughter of the Shi family the concubine of Prince Cheng? Why did she come to Prince Duan's mansion thousands of miles away alone and act so intimate with Prince Duan?

Besides, didn’t she die in the fire?

Shi Mingzhu's swollen face turned red with shame, and she managed to remain calm and said, "There is another reason. Since you recognized me, the Shi family and the Tang family have always been on the same side. Why don't you quickly protect me and the fifth prince and kill those rebellious guards?"

Everyone: "..."

Who is the one who committed the rebellion?

The commander of the Imperial Guard was dumbfounded. Shi Mingzhu was very good at confusing right and wrong.

Tang Zhan was speechless. He felt like his brain was not enough and he couldn't continue what Shi Mingzhu was saying.

The fifth prince Zhou Xu knew that she was desperate and turned around and said, "Zhuzhu, the Tang family has already surrendered to the court. Don't waste your breath on him..."

The more they talk, the more of a joke they become.

His subordinates were hiding in and outside the city. As long as they escaped, they could lead their people to flee to the north, leaving Daxing. From then on, the sky would be high and free for birds to fly freely. No one outside the Great Wall would know their identities. He and Zhuzhu could get married and become husband and wife. From then on, they would only envy the mandarin ducks and not the immortals...

Zhou Xu was fantasizing about his wonderful future life when suddenly, Tang Zhan took advantage of his distraction, rushed over in three or five steps, drew his sword and hit Zhou Xu's arm hard with the back of the sword.

Zhou Xu only heard the sound of a broken bone on his forearm, and then the dagger in his hand fell with a bang. Just as he realized what happened, Tang Zhan pulled Zhou Shao away and kicked Zhou Xu away!

All this happened in a flash. Tang Zhan turned around and picked up Zhou Shao who had fallen to the ground, and quickly returned to the crowd.

Shi Mingzhu stood there alone, her hair disheveled in the wind. Suddenly she cried out in surprise and bent down to help Zhou Xu. Immediately, countless arrows flew at her, frightening her so much that she dared not move, holding her head and screaming:

"Ah - Zhou Xu, Zhou Xu, are you okay?"

Zhou Xu was hit by three arrows in the back, and the commander of the imperial guards personally captured him and Shi Mingzhu.

Shi Mingzhu cursed shrilly: "Tang Zhan! Tang Zhan, how dare you betray the Shi family! Have you forgotten how your Tang family climbed to this position today?

Without my grandfather's support, your Tang family would still be working hard in the fields!

Tang Zhan, you will pay the price for your betrayal today! You, the Tang family, have repaid kindness with enmity. You will all die a miserable death without a burial place, and go to the eighteenth level of hell after death!"

Tang Zhan folded his arms and sighed, "Miss Shi, the Fifth Prince just said that our Tang family has surrendered to the imperial court... He is right. Our Tang family was born in the Daxing Dynasty and is originally a member of the imperial court. The Shi family is also...

I don't know why you say that the Shi family is in opposition to the imperial court. The Shi family has been loyal for generations. I grew up listening to the stories of the old Duke, admiring him and wanting to learn from him to become a hero who defends the country.

Miss Shi, your second aunt has always told us that you are a lady from a noble family, the apple of the Shi family's eye, but what I see is that you have brought disgrace upon your grandfather's reputation and the Shi family's integrity. I am very disappointed in you."

Shi Mingzhu was tied up tightly. She struggled like a pupa and said hatefully, "Tang Zhan! Tang Zhan! It's you who hurt me!"

Tang Zhan was speechless.

Did he provoke her?

They went to the border and caused trouble right under his nose, so he suffered the consequences, didn't he?

From beginning to end, he didn't touch her at all, but used her to distract Zhou Xu's attention.

Zhou Shao came to his senses, drank half a cup of tea, and smashed the cup on Zhou Xu's head.

Shi Mingzhu screamed again: "Zhou Xu! Zhou Xu! Zhou Shao, please let him go, please, let him go, I will agree to anything you ask!"

Tang Zhan: “…”

Zhou Shao choked.

No matter how much he loved Shi Mingzhu, no matter how hungry he was, he would not want a woman whose innocence had been lost.

Not only did Shi Mingzhu cheat on him, she also teamed up with Zhou Xu to hold him hostage, and instigated Tang Zhan to kill him. At this moment, anger and jealousy overwhelmed his reason.

He wished he could beat this couple to death!

"You two bastards!" Zhou Shao slapped Shi Mingzhu hard, successfully shutting her up, then walked up to Zhou Xu, sneering, "Zhou Xu, you are unworthy of being cuckolded by me!"

Zhou Shao was the most favored prince in the palace, while Zhou Xu was the least favored prince in the palace.

They are one in heaven and one on earth.

This sentence instantly brought out Zhou Xu's sadness and jealousy over the years.

"Fourth brother, please, let Zhuzhu go. I will let you do whatever you want..."
