Mr. Zhao wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Jiang Bin.

Jiang Bin said: "What are you going to do?"

When Mr. Zhao saw this attitude, he couldn't help but feel upset. If it were the state government office before he asked for verification, he might have turned his back on everything and even turned against him to ensure that his concubine would not be injured. But now the situation is different. He has basically been sure that Jiang Bin did not lie to him and asked him to stop the emperor. He didn't have the courage.

Zhu Houzhao walked over with a smile. The woman didn't pay attention to Zhu Houzhao at all. She turned her head and saw Mr. Zhao, and said hello from afar: "Master, you haven't come to my small courtyard for only two days, and these servants have started to bully people... What are you concerned about?"

Mr. Zhao swallowed. The light in the backyard was not strong. His face turned red and he felt ashamed. He wanted to hide behind people and not come out.

Jiang Bin pressed his left hand on Mr. Zhao's shoulder, which roughly meant to make him hold back, while Zhu Houzhao on the other side had already spoken: "I don't know what to call this lady?"

The woman looked at Zhu Houzhao and her eyes lit up.

Although Zhu Houzhao is a stranger, she is always a handsome young man. There is a different kind of spirit in her eyes, as if she is very interested in this uninvited guest.

Although Mr. Zhao was the local guard commander, he was already quite old. He was in his forties in this era. There were many women in his back home, and he could not deal with them one by one. This woman was very curious about the young man in front of him and looked at him with attention.

"Who are you? Why did you appear in my backyard?" The woman said arrogantly like a proud peacock.

Mr. Zhao quickly scolded: "Don't be rude to Mr. Zhu... Mr. Zhu is a distinguished guest at the mansion and needs to be treated well."

While speaking, Zhao Yuan stepped forward, Jiang Bin followed closely behind, paying attention to his every move and could rush out at any time to stop him from offending the emperor.

The woman came over and grabbed Mr. Zhao's arm directly: "Master, do you care whether you care. These people are so arrogant. They are so arrogant. They are in the middle of the night and have someone move... I don't want to rely on you, you must make the decision for me."

When she was acting cute, she looked at Zhu Houzhao intentionally or unintentionally, as if she was very interested in this handsome young man. After all, Zhu Houzhao had the aura of a noble young man. Although Jiang Bin was also very young among the visitors, she was a brave warrior. She looked vulgar and vulgar at first sight, and was relatively less popular than literati.

When Zhao Man faced Zhu Houzhao's questioning gaze, he was very unconfident and said with a stern face: "Why don't you treat your respect when you see Mr. Zhu and Lord Jiang? Do you don't even understand the minimum etiquette?"

The woman recited it silently and asked, "Mr. Jiang should be the famous Weizhou commander? Who is this Mr. Zhu? Is it the son of a wealthy family in the city?"

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, she smiled and took over the conversation: "I am not a native of Weizhou, but from the capital. I don't want to meet my wife unexpectedly."

"oh?"

The woman looked at Zhu Houzhao with a smile, "You came from the capital? How could you appear in my residence... Master, why do you take everyone to the backyard? The backyard is full of your wives and concubines. Today, the housekeeper and the others didn't know what was going on, so they actually asked us to move out overnight... Why is that?"

Mr. Zhao was very embarrassed because the woman said that she was betrayed him. He immediately stammered: "Don't Mr. Zhu and Lord Jiang come to visit the mansion and need to treat him with thoughtful courtesy? Master, I'm going to let them move in the backyard, so I can only ask you to move out first."

"Hmph, why do we move? Shouldn't the guests stay in the front wing room?" the woman asked dissatisfiedly.

Zhu Houzhao was like a pig brother who had never seen the world, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, when you go to your mansion to be a guest, you should naturally move into the front room. When you come to the backyard, you just want to see the scenery of Commander Zhao's inner house. If you don't want to come in, you will find that it is indeed extraordinary."

When Jiang Bin heard this, he quickly winked at Mr. Zhao, probably meaning that you should know how to do it, right?

Mr. Zhao loved his beloved concubine very much and did not want to hand over the person to Zhu Houzhao. He immediately smiled: "Mr. Zhu, since you have seen it, you might as well send these women who are in trouble... Let's go out to drink first, and how about we come back and rest later?"

"Drinking is naturally good, but how can you lack this lady to accompany you? I wonder if the lady is interested in going out to have a glass of water and wine together?" Zhu Houzhao asked with a smile.

The woman frowned: "Young Master Zhu, you are so angry. Can you question my master's words casually? My master asked me to move away before, but I didn't want to mess around all night, and I didn't want to go out and get drunk. Master... You have to make the decision for me!"

This woman looks very ignorant, but the more she resists Zhu Houzhao, the more she likes her. After all, it is rare for men to be more precious. Before that, he rarely saw such a charming and attractive woman. This woman seemed to contain a kind of captivating power, which made him unable to extricate himself at first sight.

Zhu Houzhao had the urge to embrace the woman in her arms and love her intimately. When he subconsciously reached out his hand and prepared to grab the woman's white wrist, the other party dodged back and protested in a sweet voice: "How come you, an unscrupulous prodigal son, why are you so rude? Master, what kind of friends do you make?"

Jiang Bin asked coldly, "Commander Zhao, since Mr. Zhu has agreed to go out to drink together, shouldn't you express it? Mr. Zhu doesn't have much time and patience, so you'd better understand the measure."

When Zhao Man heard this, he couldn't help but feel trembling, because Jiang Bin was now warning him that if he didn't know the truth, he would probably be jealous of the emperor and faced catastrophic and terrible consequences.

"This... I drink together, so naturally I have to drink together... You woman is so ignorant. Since Mr. Zhu invites you to attend, then hurry up and clean up and go to the front yard to accompany you... Someone came and sent her things back to the house. Today, Mrs. Seven will not go anywhere." Mrs. Zhao said with a hard heart.

Zhu Houzhao smiled and joked: "Commander Zhao is really capable. He married a seven-person wife and concubine? Can you handle it with your body? Do you need me to help? Haha."

While speaking, Zhu Houzhao winked at the eye, while Zhao Yuan was very embarrassed and stood there at a loss, but the woman was very stubborn and protested: "Master, I don't want to drink. I was woken up just after I fell asleep. I had a headache. I want to go back and rest now! Master, don't you usually love me the most?"

"presumptuous!"

Mr. Zhao finally made up his mind. He understood the principle that fish and bear paw cannot have both. If he wants to gain the trust of the emperor, protect his family business, and even his future, he must give up this concubine. If he does not know how to advance or retreat, Zhu Houzhao will probably get angry. Not only will he suffer, but other inner relatives will not be spared.

Mr. Zhao's reaction surprised the woman. Obviously, as the woman said, Mr. Zhao usually favored her very much, but this time, for some reason, suddenly changed her sex.

Mr. Zhao said sternly: "Young Master Zhu is a distinguished guest. You must treat you well, otherwise you will be sold into a kiln now. Life is better than death... You can do it yourself! Take your wife to the front yard!"

The woman was stunned for a moment. She wanted to continue acting cute, but when she saw Mr. Zhao's decisive expression, she realized that no matter how much she had, it would be futile. She was a little confused. Under the help of the maid, she came to the living room in the front yard in a daze and arrived at the re-shop.

...

...

Zhu Houzhao never moved her eyes away from her face since she saw the seventh lady.

No one could have been so rude at the owner's house, but Zhu Houzhao blatantly expressed the dirty thoughts in his heart.

"Hurry toast Mr. Zhu."

Mr. Zhao scolded his woman, but felt quite helpless.

Mr. Zhao thought to himself, "Don't blame me, who told you to be ignorant of your appearance? You didn't move out of the backyard earlier? You left early and didn't do anything. Since you asked me for it, you can't blame me! The current situation is that if you don't abandon you alone, my Zhao family will suffer the whole family. Maybe sending you out can help me go further in my career!"

The woman seemed very unwilling to accept it. When she stood up to toast Zhu Houzhao, her eyes were filled with resentment, and she deliberately sprinkled the wine and took revenge.

"Why can't you even pour wine?" Mr. Zhao continued to curse.

Zhu Houzhao looked indifferent: "It's okay, it's okay, the lady's little hands are so delicate. The wine is poured out, and there is a mellow fragrance in it before I can even get in my mouth. It's just the old saying that if you don't drink, you will be drunk by yourself, and you will be a ghost under the beauty's skirt. Haha."

Zhu Houzhao's mouth was full of flowers. When Zhao heard this, his face looked extremely ugly, but he was timid and did not dare to say anything.

The woman said, "What kind of beauty is under the skirt? She is clearly teasing me. Master, look..."

The woman originally wanted to act coquettishly with Mr. Zhao, but she found that her husband had a bad gaze, so she became accustomed to sit down unwillingly, lowered her head and became frustrated.

On her left is Zhao Yuan and on the right is Zhu Houzhao. Zhu Houzhao always moved her chair to the woman and finally sat next to her, which made Jiang Bin, who was sitting alone on the other side a little embarrassed.

Jiang Bin kept winking at Mr. Zhao, probably meaning that we no longer need to accompany him here, so don’t disturb the emperor’s ambition when going out together.

But Zhao Yuan was not as enlightened as Jiang Bin. In other words, even if Zhao Yuan saw what Jiang Bin meant, he was unwilling to submit easily. Letting his concubine come out to drink with men is a great shame. If he left and threw the woman to other men, it would be a subversive view.

When Jiang Bin saw that Mr. Zhao was not obeying his trick, he took the initiative to speak: "Commander Zhao, didn't you say you had something to do before? Let's go out to do the main business first... Don't forget your and my responsibilities!"

As he said that, Jiang Bin took out the imperial edict that Mr. Zhao had returned before and shook it in his hand, obviously using the imperial edict to force Mr. Zhao to submit.

The woman turned her head and looked at Zhao Yuan in surprise, wanting to see his reaction. The hopes of seeing the young and handsome young master had long disappeared, and at this time she cared more about Zhao Yuan's attitude.

Mr. Zhao did not look at the woman and stood up with his head down: "Mr. Zhu, I have some business to talk about. I can't drink with you today. I might as well let the woman in the house accompany you. Just drink happily... You ungrateful woman, you are a ungrateful woman who serves Mr. Zhu very much, and you must let Mr. Zhu return with all your fun. Do you know?"

"master!?"

Jiang Bin looked at him with great interest, as if all this was fresh and interesting to him. When Zhao Yuan saw it, his eyes were on fire. Jiang Bin glanced at him and reminded him: "Commander Zhao, you must know how to be patient!"

Zhao Yuan said angrily: "How can you bear this? The emperor of the Nine Five Emperors is actually a shameless villain who bullies a good wife. Who would believe it if he said it?"

Jiang Bin shouted, "Why are you so ungrateful? Your Majesty is young and energetic. Is there any problem with one or two women coming to your house? If you encounter such a thing, it is not a disaster, but a great blessing. When you are promoted and reused by Your Majesty, how many women will not be able to take it back to your room? Is it necessary to care about temporary gains and losses?"

"Can other woman compare to the one in front of you?" Zhao Yuan was still unwilling to give up and said gritting his teeth.

Jiang Bin sneered: "Then try to go in and protest with Your Majesty? Don't blame me for not reminding you that the angrily Master is not good at eating you! If you don't want to see, you can go out for a while and I will stay here to prevent Your Majesty from having an accident."

...

...

Mr. Zhao couldn't stand it and angrily ran out of the yard. He wanted to calm down at the door.

At this time, a servant came in and reported: "Master, it's a bit unusual. Today, a large number of foreign merchants suddenly flocked into the city, but these people were not merchants at all, but seemed to be people from the army."

"Is there a way to guide you?" Mr. Zhao asked with a frown.

The guard said: "Yes, it's all ordinary road guides, including Jiangnan and Central Plains. It seems that there is no problem, but it is obvious that so many people suddenly poured into the city. After nightfall today, I found that someone was staring at the commander's mansion, as if the visitor was not good. I thought they were some thieves, and the brothers wanted to catch them back for interrogation, but they knew that the idea was too tough. Not only did they fail, they also injured the two of them."

When Mr. Zhao heard this, he was about to have an attack, he suddenly remembered something and was shocked: "Now it is basically confirmed that the one inside is His Majesty. Wen Yi said that he only brought not many people out, but will there be more Jinyiwei accompanying him in secret? What if someone wants to be unfavorable to His Majesty?"

Mr. Zhao was worried, afraid that the emperor would have something to do in his mansion, but then he thought, "These people have official discs and road guides, which means they have an official background. The possibility of the Jinyiwei sending him to protect His Majesty is greater. Maybe even Wen Yi doesn't know the existence of these people. Wen Yi said that he killed so many bandits on the road with his team of less than twenty people, and he only hurts two of them. This kind of thing is believed to be clearly someone to protect him secretly. Whether it is an enemy or a friend outside, it is always right to target His Majesty."

Mr. Zhao said: "Don't worry about those people. First, ensure the safety of the mansion. Draw more troops and horses to come. All the guards in the mansion cheer me up. Mr. Zhu is a guest at the mansion these two days, so there must be no accident!"

...

...

What Mr. Zhao found was indeed not a thief, but Ma Jiu's people.

Ma Jiu did not expect that the Weizhou Guards were so vigilant. He wanted to send some good scouts to the guard commander's mansion to spy on the situation, but he unexpectedly leaked the hiding.

When the scout came back to report, Ma Jiu was hiding in the dilapidated temple west of the city.

There is also an intelligence station established by Shen Xi in Weizhou City. It is under the command of Wanquandu Commander and is under the jurisdiction of the Governor of Xuanfu and the Governor of Xuanda. There are basically intelligence agencies arranged by Shen Xi on the nine borders, so Weizhou is naturally no exception.

With the assistance of the intelligence department, Ma Jiu had little trouble hiding in the city, but he began to worry because he suddenly had a conflict with the local government army.

"...Brother, it seems that the local defenders in Weizhou are not simple. The people we sent were so careful that they were still discovered." Liu Ya was very unwilling to accept it, but she did not take the initiative to take the responsibility on her.

Ma Jiu frowned and said, "I can't come forward these two days, how can you reveal the siege? Now there is a conflict, and the officers and soldiers are likely to search everywhere, so that the brothers can leave the city through the secret channels, try to hide and wait for further orders."

Liu Ya asked, "We're leaving like this? If there is any danger in the protection target, how can we rescue it in time?"

Ma Jiu thought about it, and although he was worried, he still said with certainty: "There should be no problem in the city. Since the troops in Weizhou are so capable, let them do the security work outside the city. If there is really no way, I will go to see the local defenders and ensure that the errand can be completed smoothly."

"Brother, who is the person we want to protect now? Sir, who is the specific errand? " Liu Ya asked.

Ma Jiu said with a dark face: "You should ask only if you ask. Otherwise, I would keep silent and I wouldn't answer after asking. You are now a personal soldier under the lord. You must abide by this rule no matter what, do you understand?"

"yes!"

Liu Ya lowered her head and replied, but she didn't agree.
