Chapter 67: Damping wood

This bone is a bit hard to chew!

Although Xiao Jingchen has the arrogance of a male protagonist, he is a positive person after all, and he will never kill the enemy's surrendered generals. When Zhuang Wan wanted to persuade him again, he only heard someone coming up the stairs laughing.

"Beauty, where is my beauty?"

A fat and bloated man came in. He looked to be in his forties or fifties. He looked like a gorilla, and there was a scar that spanned half of his face. He looked very scary.

"Your Majesty!" Zhamu stood up and saluted.

Motu didn't look at him, but stared at Zhuang Wan with bright eyes: "She is indeed a beauty!"

It turns out that this is King Nanyi!

It can no longer be described as greasy, just cannon fodder.

"Zhamu, please step back first!"

Seeing him, Zhuang Wan was like a wolf seeing a sheep. She seemed impatient and couldn't help but hide back.

Wait! Zhamu?

That man’s name is Zhamu!

Isn't that the most loyal guard around Yan Cheng? Is it the same person or a coincidence with the same name and surname?

In fact, Zhamu and Yan Cheng are actually remnants of the previous dynasty. His aunt was Yan Cheng's biological mother, the then Queen Hui. Zhamu was already an outstanding archer at a young age. He was the commander of the imperial army and guarded the palace. After the fall of the dynasty, he

Then he fled to Nanyi.

So based on what Zhamu said just now, she can infer that the person next to Yan Cheng is him!

It seems that he still doesn't know Yan Cheng's identity. After all, Yan Cheng was just born at that time. But it would be hard to tell if he saw the phoenix mark.

If Yan Cheng were to know his life experience at this time, he would inevitably be killed as a fledgling. To avoid any accidents, these two people must not meet each other.

Zhuang Wan was only thinking about how powerful it was, but she didn't notice that the Nanyi King had grabbed her wrist and moved closer to her. It was as if she hadn't taken a bath in months, and the unpleasant smell almost made her yue.

When she was raising her foot to kick this disgusting thing to death, Zhamu beside her shouted: "Your Majesty!"

Motu looked back at him: "Why are you still here?"

"Your Majesty, King Qi's troops and horses are still stationed at Mangshan Pass, and he has no intention of dispatching troops. Your Majesty, you still need to organize your troops and horses to prevent him from attacking by force."

Motu looked impatient: "I have my own plans for this matter, please get out quickly!"

"Your Majesty..." Zha Mu refused to give up: "Now is the critical moment, and it is really not the time for ease and enjoyment!"

Motu said angrily: "Zhamu, you are so brave! You dare to teach me a lesson!"

"Zhamu doesn't dare!"

"If you don't dare, get out!"

At this time, a guard suddenly came in and said a few words in Nanyi dialect anxiously. Motu cursed: "A bunch of trash, they can't even catch a single person!"

Zhamu said: "Your Majesty, this man named Li Daniu is very cunning. If he is not caught, there will be endless troubles."

Zhuang Wan was shocked, could it be that Yan Cheng had come here so quickly?

"Your Majesty, there is only one plan to lure this person out!" Zhamu and Motu whispered a few words.

Then Motu glanced at Zhuang Wan and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say!"

In fact, Zhuang Wan knew what they were talking about without even whispering. Didn't they just want to use her as bait to lure Yan Cheng out? You can guess it.

How could she tell Yan Cheng not to show up?

Motu and Zhamu left together. Before leaving, they told the two maids to stay with Zhuang Wan. The guards around the house also disappeared, but she knew that they were all waiting in the dark.

Zhuang Wan leaned on the railing and looked down, trying to find that familiar figure in the crowd.

I hope this fool won't be so impulsive.

When she returned to the house, she saw that the pastries had not been touched, so she picked them up and ate three of them in one go. She choked and burped non-stop.

After eating, she began to think. First of all, Chen Wujin and the others must be locked up in a cell somewhere in Nanyi. Their lives should not be in danger for the time being. But it is definitely impossible for Yan Cheng alone to rescue them all. Now

We can only find a chance to meet him and ask him to go back quickly to bring in reinforcements.

But don't tell her about this bamboo house now. She has two maids following her wherever she goes, never leaving.

She tried to talk to the two of them.

"The clothes you are wearing look pretty good."

The two of them said nothing.

"Is there anything fun you can do here?"

"How did your king get the injury on his face?"

"You two look so similar, you can't be sisters!"

Two people: "..."

Zhuang Wan was speechless: "You two are not mute, are you?"

"They don't understand the language of the Central Plains." Zhamu came into the room and said a few words of bird language to the two maids, and then they respectfully left.

Zhuang Wan still felt that it was more reliable to persuade this Zhamu.

"Your name is Zhamu?"

"Yes!" Zhamu sat down and said, "Young lady must be very anxious at the moment. Li Daniu has already appeared in the city. I believe he will come to see you soon."

"Why am I anxious?" Zhuang Wan said with a relaxed look: "He is not a fool, how could he not know that you have set up a dragnet to catch him."

"Really?" Zhamu said, "Then let's wait a little longer!"

He poured Zhuang Wan a cup of tea: "This is tea from the Central Plains. It helps digestion."

Zhuang Wan took a sip and drank, "It doesn't taste good. This isn't your new tea!"

"Where is the new tea to drink?" Zhamu said, "I have kept this tea for twenty years."

Zhuang Wan spat out "Bah, bah" twice, "No wonder, you have expired! Why are you so stubborn? If you abandon the darkness and turn to the light, why worry about not having good tea to drink."

"Do you think I will be bewitched by you?" Zhamu said firmly: "Even if I die in Nanyi, I will never be the eagle dog of his Xiao family."

"Who said you should recognize the thief as the master?" Zhuang Wan leaned over and said in a lowered voice: "Do you know... the former prince Yan Cheng?"

Zhamu looked startled, his lips trembling: "What did you say?"

Zhuang Wan smiled and said: "You may be thinking why I know the name Yan Cheng. Because the prince was just born at that time and had not had time to give him a name. The word 'Cheng' was given to him by Emperor Wen Zhao before his death. All I know is

The people closest to him."

Zhamu grabbed her wrist and said coldly: "Who are you?"

"Who am I? Twenty years ago, I was only a child of one or two years old, so it is naturally impossible for me to know these past events."

Zhuang Wan looked at him and said seriously: "You don't have to ask me how I know this. You just need to know that...Prince Yan Cheng is still alive and in Dayan."

Zhamu slowly let go of her and clenched his fists. His whole body seemed numb due to excitement.

"What you said...is it true?"

"Of course!" Zhuang Wan said: "Why else would I know the name 'Yan Cheng'?"

"Where is the prince?" Zhamu asked anxiously.

"I don't know about that!" Zhuang Wan said: "Anyway, I know that he is in Dayan, and maybe he has changed his name, otherwise the Emperor of Dayan will not let him go."

Zhamu lowered his head and remained silent, this sudden surprise made him overwhelmed.

Many times in the middle of the night, he dreamed that the Zhaoyang Palace was filled with blood. He hated himself for not protecting the prince, and lived in guilt and blame day and night...
