Lady forced to seek prince

On a cold day, anyone assigned to such a job would be resentful.

This is the coldest time of the year.

Amidst the scolding of the guard, Zhang Yao picked up the dry biscuit and moved it towards his mouth. The guard standing at the door became more and more angry. Finally, he couldn't help but walked into the shack and kicked Zhang Yao. Zhang Yao's thin body was easily kicked away and crashed into the depths of the hungry shack. The dry biscuits in his hand also fell to the ground.

"Fourth," another guard grabbed Wei Laosi to prevent Wei Laosi from attacking Zhang Yao again, "Don't kill him. The steward said that the orders above are still useful."

Wei Laosi spat at Zhang Yao again, and then stepped on the dry biscuit: "Damn it, I have long disliked him. If it hadn't been for him, I would have returned to the palace in the middle of the capital. The master raised him. , it’s just a dog, but he made a show of it and actually sued me against his master.”

"I have kept this account for him for a long time, and will ask him to repay it one day sooner or later. If you don't know what you are, what is your worth in the eyes of the prince? Do you dare to compare with generals like us?"

Dong Laosan took Wei Laosi out and persuaded him nicely: "Sooner or later, he will die in your hands. Once he has made great achievements, the prince will have your own benefits. Wouldn't it be a pity to kill him now? We My brother’s suffering here is in vain.”

Only then did Wei Laosi nod his head: "I know it, and I know it in my heart. That man's bones are cheap and he won't die."

The sound gradually faded away, and Zhang Yao in the corner moved his fingers, with a look of pain on his face. After a while, he finally slowly crawled forward and picked up the piece of dry cake covered with mud from the ground.

Zhang Yao put the dry biscuits into his mouth and chewed hard for a long time. Suddenly he felt sad. He opened his mouth, revealing the dark food inside, and then he vomited and cried.

Then Wei Laosi was right, he was just a dog.

In fact, he is worse than a dog.

After living humbly for these years, just to avenge his relatives, sometimes he would think, how about those who survive? When I closed my eyes, all I could think about was the death of my loved ones.

His father who was beaten to death, the female family members who were dragged and thrown into the lake, his two children who were hacked to death with sharp weapons, and his wife who set fire to her house to protect him from leaving.

They all hope that he can survive and retain the last hope for the Zhang family.

He is alive, but he is not him anymore.

He is no longer the Confucian scholar who burned incense, drank tea and studied in his spare time, nor is he a young man who is praised by his elders for his talent and beauty, nor is he a considerate and gentle husband, or a kind and responsible father.

Those days were so far away from him that he felt like they were separated from the rest of the world.

So he felt that he was just a ghost, who could only hide in the dark and do shady things. But he had to do this in order to avenge his people and make the Zhang family's suffering known to the world.

But he was in so much pain.

Zhang Yao cried silently, he had lost everything, right and wrong, and political order were no longer important. He only had the belief of revenge in his heart. Especially when he helped the Prime Minister to do evil, he felt both pain and justice.

Because the one he wanted to deal with was the emperor.

The Zhang family will suffer great disasters, all because of the emperor. King Xiang is right, he cannot kill the emperor with his own hands, but he can make the country of Qi change its owner.

The emperor died, and his young son inherited the throne. If everything went well, the little emperor would soon follow his father.

The Prime Minister prepared to let the Feng family and Prince Yu's Mansion compete with each other, and the Prime Minister's Mansion eventually became the orthodox one.

He never expected that the framed Prince Yu had such a bizarre life experience, that he actually had the blood of their Zhang family, and was Empress Zhang's only child left in the world.

At first, he couldn't believe it, thinking that this was a way for the Xiao family to seek power. Prince Xiang also reassured him that he would help find out the truth. Later, when he heard that the palm prints matched, he understood the truth. It turned out that from the beginning, the old King Yu had been plotting against the late emperor. Without this incident, Queen Zhang and her son might not have died.

The person sitting on the throne today may be his nephew.

The main reason why Xiao Yu dealt with Princess Yu and the Feng family was to avenge Empress Zhang. At that moment, Zhang Yao suddenly felt hope that he had not seen for a long time.

With his nephew clearing Zhang's grievances, he naturally didn't have to rely on King Xiang, but all this shocked him so much that he couldn't calm down for a moment, and he forgot that what King Xiang wanted all along was the throne. , how could Xiao Yu be allowed to ruin his plans over the years?

Zhang Yao wanted to take people out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but it was too late. His letter asking for help from Xiao Yu was intercepted by the Prime Minister's people, his close associates were killed, and he was also imprisoned.

The two brothers who originally followed him were picked up by him from a refugee pit. They were only sixteen years old and died in front of him. In the end, no matter how hard he fought, he still lost, and feeding himself to wolves would not end well in the end.

Zhang Yao's whole person was gradually filled with despair, and there was no hope anymore.

The Prime Minister kept him just because he wanted Xiao Yu to be fooled.

He doesn't know why he is still alive? If he died, everything would be at the mercy of the Prime Minister. He survived because he wanted to find an opportunity to escape and to warn Xiao Yu.

But he probably couldn't wait for that day.

The weak Zhang Yao closed his eyes, he would probably die tonight.

In Zhang Yao's mind, his parents, brothers, children, and members of the Zhang clan appeared, and he seemed to have returned to the past, when they were all alive.

When he was about to fall asleep in a daze, he vaguely heard the noise coming from far away. At first he thought it was the guards from the Prime Minister's Mansion training, but then he felt something strange.

That was not military training, but... the sound of fighting.

The curtain of the shack was opened again, and Wei Laosi stepped here again. The difference from before was that now Wei Laosi was seriously injured on his shoulder.

Without the arrogance just now, Wei Laosi's face showed a bit of hatred and fear. He bent down and stretched out his hand to pull Zhang Yao up and block him in front of him.

"Be more honest," Wei Laosi threatened Zhang Yao fiercely, "If you dare to resist, I will kill you..."

Zhang Yao was dragged out of the shack. He looked at the fire burning outside in shock. The thatched hut where the guards of the Prime Minister's Palace lived temporarily was set alight at some point.

What happened?

Zhang Yao vaguely got an answer in his mind, so when Wei Laosi pulled him again, he slammed into Wei Laosi with all his strength.

The two fell to the ground at the same time, and Zhang Yao was able to escape. When he was about to get up and escape, his feet gave way and fell to the ground. The next moment, he was held down by Wei Laosi on the shoulder.

Wei Laosi was obviously angered. He took out the dagger from his waist and stabbed Zhang Yao.

Just a little bit.

Zhang Yao was despairing, waiting for death to come. However, the next moment, he clearly saw a flash of silver light, and Wei Laosi's hand holding the dagger was cut off by a sharp weapon.

Amidst Wei Laosi's howling, a figure stood in front of Zhang Yao.
