Quick Wear: Under the Skirt, All Beings Are Equal

Chapter 438: The Traitor: Bright Moon, Drinking Alone in the Autumn

Tang Ran opened the wooden box and took a look. She found that the amount inside was far more than she expected, and the smile on her face deepened.

He lowered his eyes, took a sip of tea, and explained, "Zhou Wenye is a big fish. Chen Kingdom will never give up on him and will definitely send someone to rescue him."

Xue Nanyin then realized that Zhou Wenye was from Chen State. She was stunned for a moment, but she did not doubt Tang Ran's words. She believed without hesitation that the "saint" of Northern Qi was a spy.

She thought for a moment and said, "There are many experts in Chen Country, so I will prepare some more medicine powder."

"Did you believe it so rashly?" This shocked Li Wenqing.

You have to know that she had investigated for a long time and pondered over it repeatedly before she believed it. As a result, Xue Nanyin believed it without hesitation just because of Tang Ran's casual words.

I wish all the people of Northern Qi could think this way.

However, when Li Wenqing thought that these were all aphrodisiacs, his expression became a little strange.

Only Tang Ran could think of such a mean trick.

She suddenly felt a little sympathetic towards those who wanted to jailbreak. Why did they have to pick on Tang Ran when there were so many other people to pick on.

Li Wenqing asked doubtfully: "Are you so sure that Chenguo will send someone to rescue Zhou Wenye? Since they already know that Zhou Wenye has been arrested, they can also guess that you will set a trap, so how can they be willing to come to rescue him obediently?"

In the current situation, the best solution is to abandon Zhou Wenye.

Tang Ran smiled but said nothing. Even if the other party knew, what was coming would still come.

Just as Tang Ran thought, the Emperor of Chen Kingdom soon received the news that Zhou Wenye had been imprisoned.

His face looked very ugly, and he didn't say anything. Instead, he handed the letter in his hand to Gao Han.

After Gao Han finished reading, he said, "I just received a reply from my junior brother a few days ago. He wanted to stay in Northern Qi to see how things go. I didn't expect Tang Ran to be so quick and lock him up directly."

He was well aware of Zhou Wenye's reputation in Northern Qi, and Tang Ran's high-profile arrest made him a little worried.

"Could it be that Junior Brother accidentally exposed it, allowing Tang Ran to find some evidence?"

Zhao Lianye shook his head, his deep eyes were complicated and hard to read, "No, Junior Brother will never make such a mistake. If he really found some evidence, it would be fine. What I am afraid of is that Tang Ran arrested people without finding anything."

He continued: "Moreover, this is Tang Ran's declaration of war to me."

Gao Han was a little surprised. "Issuing a challenge?"

Zhao Lianye sighed softly in his heart.

Tang Ran's behavior was clearly an open conspiracy, waiting for herself to fall into a trap.

Even though he knew there would be heavy losses and that no one could be rescued, he still had to send people to rescue them. Not only did he have to rescue them, but he had to rescue them sincerely.

Zhou Wenye was not only doing this for him, but also because he was the only son of his mentor.

Luo Mo was not only kind to himself, but also to Gao Han and Xu Shenjian. They almost respected Luo Mo as their father. They loved Luo Mo and his family, and they especially liked their junior brother Luo Zimo.

"Tang Ran has been disguising himself for so many years, and no one has discovered him. This is enough to show how scheming he is. He is extremely good at manipulating people's hearts, and his planning is definitely not inferior to mine. I'm afraid he has already set up many traps, waiting for us to rescue him."

"This trip to Northern Qi is likely to be dangerous."

What scares them is that the person may not be alive now.

Seeing that everyone's concerns had been expressed, Xu Shen was silent for a moment, then looked at Zhao Lianye with red eyes.

Even if Zhao Lianye didn't agree, he would find a way to rescue his junior brother at all costs.

Just when he was about to say something, Zhao Lianye waved his hand and said, "I know what you want to say. Don't worry, Senior Brother Xu. No matter whether this trip is a tiger's den or a dragon's lair, the people must be rescued."

"No matter what the cost, we must rescue our junior brother, Ruo Zimo," Zhao Lianye paused, as if he couldn't bear to say it out loud, and his voice was still a little choked up at the end: "If our junior brother unfortunately dies, we must bring his body back intact and bury it on the land of Chen Country."

Gao Han knelt down with the others, his eyes moist and red.

"Your Majesty is holy."

"I would like to thank Your Majesty for his grace on behalf of my junior brother."

Zhao Lianye stepped forward to help them up and said gently, "Brother, what are you doing? It's not just Zi Mo. If one of you had ended up in this situation today, I would have made the same decision."

"Back then, the power structure in the court was complicated and chaotic. The Crown Prince, the Fifth Prince, the Eighth Prince, and the Thirteenth Prince were scheming against each other. The situation was even worse than it is now. We also came through that dangerous court together. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to sit in this position. In my heart, I have long regarded you as my family."

After these words, the people present became even more loyal to him.

Even if he couldn't save the person, no one would blame him.

What's more, Zhao Lianye had deep feelings for that little junior brother. He always thought of the little person following him when he was away from the court.

More than 20 years ago, the grown-up boy smiled and said, "Brother, wait until I present Northern Qi to you to congratulate you on unifying the world and add some bricks and tiles to your dream. Then I will sit under the tree with you and drink tea and discuss chess."

When Zhao Lianye thought of the past, a hint of warmth appeared in his dark eyes, which then disappeared. His pupils became even darker and more obscure, even colder than the stars in the night sky, making people feel cold all over.

Junior brother, I'm here to take you home.

Tang Ran, you'd better pray that my junior brother is okay, otherwise we will fight to the death.

Zhao Lianye let out a breath, and then, led by Xu Shenjian, he brought many experts who disguised themselves as businessmen and sneaked into Northern Qi in a low-key manner.

Tang Ran didn't know any of this.

He only guessed that Zhao Lianye would send someone to rescue them, but he didn't expect that the person taking the lead would be such a heavyweight.

Tang Ran is now busy with military pay. With Tang Ran's guidance, Li Wenqing soon came up with a complete plan.

As the healthiest princess in the palace, Li Wenqing is not like what others think.

She had long ago seen the problems of Northern Qi and also realized that Chen State was ambitious, so she secretly developed some forces and had several court officials of relatively low status under her command.

"Zhi'er, have someone deliver these letters."

Then she took out another letter, lightly fumigated it with incense, and said, "This letter is for Li Fengmu."

Soon Su Fengmu entered the palace and looked at Li Wenqing in front of him with a restrained expression.

Li Wenqing chuckled and said, "Brother San, please sit down. Sang'er, why don't you serve the tea?"
