Back Off, Let Me Come

"Your Highness, this is the freshly stewed blood bird's nest. Please try it." The maid who was personally serving her slowly stepped forward and spoke out to pull Her Royal Highness Wang Ji out of her deep thoughts and recollections.

She pointed casually and said, "Put it down."

"Wei." The maid carefully put down the blood bird's nest and walked out of the tent quietly, leaving Wang Ji alone.

Looking at this bowl of precious blood bird's nest, Wang Ji felt only troubled in her heart - after Shen Tang left, she carefully reviewed the conversation and various details between the two, and began to feel annoyed that she was too reckless and showed the ten Ubu defense card too early. .

But the sad thing is that apart from this trump card, he has no other capital to make a deal with Shen Tang.

At first she wanted to use her lusty appearance to seduce the other party, but Sheriff Shen only had the words "too young and doesn't understand women's sex" written on his face, leaving Wang Ji willing to do it but nowhere to start. The other party didn't like her at all.

Apart from her looks, I can't give her the rights and status that a man likes. She is just a mascot.

"...I just hope this person is really reliable..."

Wang Ji stirred the blood bird's nest with a small silver spoon - such a precious and rare thing, not to mention her before, even the mistress who had full power over the palace could not taste it, but she had no intention of it now taste.

Not only was she worried that Shen Tang would be the second "disloyal person" and betray her trust, but she was also worried that Shen Tang would not believe in the authenticity of the map. She was most worried that there was something wrong with the map she gave him! If even Shen Tang is offended, he will become a lamb to be slaughtered, and every day will count down.

Wrapped in thousands of sorrows, Wang Ji sighed again and again.

Yes, you read that right.

She couldn't guarantee the authenticity of the map on the veil she gave Shen Tang, and the origin of it was also quite doubtful.

But she was at the end of her rope, like a gambler who had reached a desperate situation without any chips in her hand.

The only option is to make a desperate move.

If you take a gamble, you might be able to make a comeback.

If you don't gamble, it will be a dead end anyway.

Wang Ji chose a big gamble.

Use the map given by the mysterious person.

He was said to be a mysterious man, but in fact he was a scribe of unknown age. After Wang Ji was consecrated, she went to the Zen monastery to burn incense and pray for blessings and met him by chance. A gray Confucian shirt wrapped around his thin body, and his hair on the temples was gray, as if he had experienced many vicissitudes of life.

As soon as this person saw him, he immediately revealed Wang Ji's identity.

Asked her: "Does Your Highness know that he is "embattled on all sides"? 】

Wang Ji, who was anxious about the future, was slightly touched by the scribe's words, just like a drowning person in the river catching a piece of driftwood, and his eyes burst out with bright light.

She asked for advice out of nowhere: "Criticism is spreading everywhere, and we are under attack from both sides." Is there any way to survive in this desperate situation? 】

[There is no end to the road, even if the day goes by and the road is bleak, there is still a glimmer of hope. If you get through it, things will become brighter. ] The scribe curled his lips, wrinkles gathered at the corners of his eyes, and a smile reached his eyes, [looking to see if His Highness has the courage to fight against the odds. 】

Wang Ji said: [I sincerely ask you, sir, to give me some advice. 】

Hearing this, the scribe took out a small package from his sleeve, handed it to Wang Ji's puzzled eyes, and said, "This may be the key to your Highness's desperate situation." Just be sure to keep your eyes open and think carefully before using it, and don’t act too hastily to avoid getting into trouble! 】

After the man said this, a strange wind blew, making Wang Ji unable to open her eyes. When she put down her shielding arm, she was shocked to find that she was no longer where she was. The temple is full of incense, and many official wives like to come here to seek marriage. They come in groups, and they don't seem to notice the sudden appearance of Wang Ji... No, no, she was offering incense in the main hall before she met the scribe!

What the hell does this happen?

Just when I thought I was hallucinating in broad daylight, I was shocked to find the mysterious little package in my sleeve.

This thing silently proves that it is not an illusion!

How could Wang Ji dare to speak out? She pretended that nothing was wrong, and returned home surrounded by a group of maids. She avoided everyone and checked the package. She never dreamed that it was a map.

Looking at the labels and terrain, it turns out to be Shiwu!

She broke out in a cold sweat.

He hurriedly wrote down the map, destroyed it as soon as possible, and carefully disposed of the residue after burning.

After that, he used some techniques he learned at home to engrave the maps on different handkerchiefs.

Normally, there is nothing wrong with the veil. You can only smell the special fragrance of the powder. The real content will be revealed when it is roasted. This skill is a unique skill that she developed by studying ancient fragrances. Through it, she helps "talents and beauties" secretly communicate with each other, collect hard work fees, and improve the quality of life in the back house.

Wang Ji was puzzled. How could this map bring her a glimmer of hope? Whether she is dedicating it to Zheng Qiao, the leader of the country, or betraying the scribe holding Shiwu's thigh, her little chess piece will end up dead!

Until I learned about the feud between Longwu County and Shiwu.

Maybe……

The opportunity has come!

In fact, Wang Ji's first target is not Shen Tang but the Yonggu Pass guard general. The latter controls the military power and has a bloody feud with Shi Wu. There is no reason why he should not be tempted by this map! But when you really get into the role of Wang Ji, you realize how restrictive she is.

The guard chased them away like flies.

Wang Ji had no time to take action.

She could only do the next best thing, observing the Longwu County Sheriff, asking around and around in secret, and calling and testing him three times in public, which 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 I can escape!

By the time Wang Ji came to her senses, the blood bird's nest had already cooled down.

Looking forward to when Shen Tang will reply.

The reply didn't come, but an attack came!

The moon is dark and the wind is high, which is a good opportunity for a sneak attack.

At this time, everyone was tired, and there were only a few days away from King Shiwu, so the patrol guards in the camp became more relaxed. Apart from the beeping and popping sounds of the campfire, there was only the sound of snoring coming and going in each tent, and it was almost midnight in the blink of an eye.

It is when sleep is deepest.

Among the many tents, only Shen Tang's side still had light, and there was the faint clatter of chess pieces falling onto the board.

Jiang Sheng and Gu Chi were fighting to the death.

The lord Shen Tang was sitting next to him holding a kettle, his head tilted slightly, and his upper and lower eyelids were almost glued together. Finally, her head hit the edge of the chessboard, shaking her awake. Mi stared: "It's already late at night, why don't you come?"

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 a fly.

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 tonight."

Most sneak attacks are a joke to Gu Chi.

Because the enemy will take the initiative to expose you.

Shen Tang yawned widely and said sleepily: "...I don't mind staying up late, but can you guys stop playing chess? This one is more effective than hypnosis..."

Believing Gu Chi's lies, she stayed up for three days.

Afraid of missing the opportunity to grab a head.

Coincidentally, these two also like to play chess. In a relatively quiet environment, the sound of the chess pieces falling can be compared to hypnosis.

Gu Chi said: "Wait a little longer."

Shen Tang said helplessly: "The wolf is coming!"

Gu Chi’s credibility is at its lowest point!

The original intention was to complain about Gu Chi, but the result——

He snapped and the chess piece fell.

He solemnly said: "Lord, the wolf is really coming this time."

An abnormal light lit up outside the camp.

Again, I have the audacity to ask for a monthly ticket.

Now I feel guilty every time I ask...

PS: It’s the Dragon Boat Festival again, what kind of rice dumplings are you eating?
