Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 94: Shen Zhong is not a good guy either, but luckily I was prepared
Mingyun Restaurant was blocked again by the Jinyiwei.

Many dignitaries dared to be angry but dared not speak out. This guy Shen Zhong was too arrogant and domineering.

The Queen Mother had clearly asked Shen Zhong to rest for a while, but this guy actually dared to mobilize the Jinyiwei to seal off the restaurant.

It was a rare opportunity for Liu Hong to ride in a carriage. After all, Si Lili was a weak woman and was not suitable for riding a warhorse.

After dressing up carefully, Si Lili regained her stunning beauty as she had when she first appeared in Zuixianju.

"Sir, I left something for you in the room as a souvenir."

For the first time, Si Lili behaved in a dignified manner and was extremely beautiful, but there was always a hint of resentment in her eyes when she looked at Liu Hong.

Liu Hong nodded slightly with a calm expression.

The other person didn't recognize him until he put on his pants. Liu Hong started to treat him coldly without even taking off his pants.

"Master Shen, I have brought Miss Lili here. I wonder where Yan Bingyun is?"

Shen Zhong gently picked up a piece of fish and began to eat it slowly.

The surrounding Jinyiwei all stepped forward, as if they wanted to forcibly seize Si Lili.

Liu Hong frowned, and Yang Du saw Liu Hong's expression and drew his sword.

"Brush brush..."

The cold light was so dense that it almost appeared in the blink of an eye.

Liu Hong's personal guards drew their swords one after another, surrounded Liu Hong and Si Lili, and refused to give an inch to the Jinyiwei who were pressing forward.

"Liu Hong, you are so bold that you dare to draw your sword in front of the future imperial concubine of Northern Qi. Based on this reason, I can kill you."

Shen Zhong's eyes lit up and he loudly rebuked Liu Hong in righteous words.

He stood up slowly, murderous intent surging in his eyes.

Just now he thought of a good idea. If Liu Hong was killed, the relationship between the two countries would fall to a low point.

Liu Hong is Fan Xian's brother-in-law. Even if Fan Xian doesn't care, the royal family will still have some doubts about this business, wondering if Fan Xian is behind them.

As for the original plan to use Liu Hong as a thorn in the side of Qing State, they had to give up with great reluctance.

After all, supporting Liu Hong would be like shedding the blood of Northern Qi, and Fan Xian's proposal was also sweet poison.

"Sir, Shen Zhong probably has murderous intentions."

Yang Du spoke in a low voice, keeping his body firmly in front of Liu Hong, guarding against the cold arrows shot from the surroundings.

He didn't understand why Shen Zhong's attitude changed so drastically in just a few days.

"Shen Zhong, do you dare to kill me? I am the chief envoy of the Nanqing Mission. If I die, the war between the two countries will start again."

Liu Hong was not too panicked. He gently pushed Yang Du away and signaled that there was no need to worry.

Shen Zhong sneered, "Do you still want to beat him to death and struggle? Whatever! Let this guy die clearly.

It was well worth it, they had such a tacit understanding in Qianlong Bay.

"Don't try to fool me! Your Qing country has been hit by floods in the north of the Yangtze River. The war just ended not long ago. The national treasury is empty, and the inner treasury... Haha, where does the national strength come from to start another war?"

Liu Hong's ears moved slightly and he laughed softly.

"Yeah! You're right, but you seem to have forgotten one thing. The villain dies because he talks too much."

Shen Zhong's face changed and he gritted his teeth. Liu Hong was too cunning.

Before he knew it, he fell into the trap.

"Where are the crossbowmen? Release the arrows!"

"late!"

Liu Hong shook his head, feeling extremely lucky that he had asked Fan Xian yesterday about the plan he could reveal, and left a plan in the general's mansion.

Otherwise, Si Lili would have lost her life today!

Several arrows flew from somewhere in the restaurant, but the guards had anticipated this and blocked the arrows with their bodies.

As the arrow pierced into his body, Liu Hong's face became even colder.

In Mingyun Restaurant, the sound of cavalrymen came, and Uesugi Tora whipped the Jinyiwei who were blocking the outside and sent them flying.

"I am a general. I am just having a meal. How dare you stop me? Who the hell is Shen Zhong?"

Shangshan Hu's heavily armored guards surrounded Mingyun Restaurant, making it airtight. Almost all of the 500 guards who could be in Shangjing were mobilized. When Shen Zhong heard Shangshan Hu's voice, his face darkened and he spoke in hatred.

"Liu Hong, you bastard, you said one thing to my face and another behind my back. Not only did you not tell me Sean's news, but you also teamed up with Shangshan Hu and the others."

"It's the same with you. We had a pleasant cooperation before, but in order to prevent Fan Xian from cooperating with the royal family, you still wanted to kill me. I was just preparing for a rainy day."

Liu Hong spread out his hands with an innocent look on his face.

"Besides, I am very sincere. I have brought Miss Lili here, but you may not give me Yan Bingyun."

They are not good people, there is no need for them to pretend to be so noble!
“Hahaha… I thought Commander Shen Zhong was just having a meal at the restaurant, but I didn’t expect him to join forces with the Imperial Guards to kill the Imperial Concubine and the Southern Qing Envoy!”

Uesugi Tora's heroic voice sounded, gloating as he spoke.

If Liu Hong died, Shen Zhong could still try every possible way to appease the Queen Mother.

In the end, the person was not killed, and his mortal enemy Uesugi Tora was also involved.

Not only did I not get to eat pork, but I also got into trouble.

"Humph... I was just dining at Mingyun Restaurant. Isn't it normal for my men to be on alert when they see someone breaking in? But what are you doing here, General?"

Shen Zhong snorted coldly, trying to be stubborn.

All those present today are his trusted aides, so there is absolutely no way that what happened just now could get out.

As long as they insist that it is a political struggle, the empress dowager's punishment will eventually be raised high and then fall lightly.

"Oh? The Commander can eat, so why can't I?"

Uesugi Tora spoke jokingly.

Who would believe this nonsense!

Shen Zhong growled.

"Uesugi Tora, do you really need to bring so many guards with you just to have a meal?"

"Isn't this imitating the arrogance of the commander-in-chief?"

Uesugi Tiger was in high spirits and made Shen Zhong feel humiliated, which helped him vent some of the anger he felt about being threatened by Liu Hong.

It would be great if Liu Hong really died here today. Shangshan Hu still felt a little regretful.

I didn't look carefully just now. I should have come slower.

"Commander-in-chief, no matter how you try to argue, you can't explain why my personal guards were seriously injured by arrows. Even if the Jinyiwei were on alert, they would not use bows and crossbows for my Nanqing envoys."

Liu Hong pointed at the guard who was lying on the ground and rolling around crying.

These bodyguards were smart. Basically, if their arms were injured, they would roll on the ground in pain and be unable to get up.

He has truly grasped the essence of Liu Hong.

"Miss Lili, you are the person involved, please tell us what you think!"

Shen Zhong ignored the group of ruffians under Liu Hong's command and looked at Si Lili confidently.

Si Lili is the future Imperial Consort or even Empress of Da Qi. Even though the Empress Dowager is reluctant now, the young emperor is about to take power, so it will be a matter of time before she becomes the Empress.

A person of such a noble status would definitely consider the interests of Northern Qi.

Si Lili looked at Shen Zhong coldly. It seemed that this guy didn't avoid her at all when he shot the arrow just now.

Was he planning to shoot her to death in the restaurant to stop Fan Xian's plan?

It's wishful thinking to expect her to help smooth things over now.

Si Lili opened her red lips slightly, her tone cold.

"I only know that Lord Liu and I came to Mingyun Restaurant at the invitation of Commander Shen, but Commander Shen wanted to kill us without knowing the truth."

In an instant, Shen Zhong's face turned pale.

Screaming wildly in my heart!

Is it God's will to destroy Da Qi? I, Shen Zhong, am a loyal minister of Da Qi, and I work wholeheartedly for Da Qi.

As a result, even the future Empress of Northern Qi was unwilling to help him deal with such a trivial matter.

For a moment, Shen Zhong felt hopeless and his mind became dazed.
