When he heard that the old king had disappeared, Kangte, the king of Langya, turned black and his body softened, and he fell down.

Yang Zhao and others on the side hurried forward and helped him.

Everyone helped Kangte to the throne, and beat his chest and back, and finally woke up.

"Say, what the hell is going on?"

Zuo Hao and Yang Zhao took the guards aside.

He asked in a low voice.

The guard tried hard to keep his voice trembling and said, "I felt something was wrong with the young man on duty early this morning. The old king's bedroom was too quiet. In the past, the old king would get up at dawn.

Later, we heard something happening inside.

When I went in, I saw that several maids were tied to the pillars, and the old king disappeared."

That's right.

Zuo Hao nodded slightly.

"Do you know who did it?"

Zuo Hao asked.

"According to the maid, someone left behind a message saying that if we wanted the old king, we would take Yilian to the North Gate for exchanges in three days."

I knew Yi Chu would not give up so easily. It turned out that he wanted to trade the old king for Yilian.

Zuo Hao had a clear idea.

Changing horses and changing generals was also a common thing in ancient times.

But why did Yi Chu have to three days later?

This made him puzzled. According to common sense, Yi Chu won a big victory, and the hostages he received were the old king. Compared with Yi Lian, the two were not on the same order of magnitude. It can be said that as long as he spoke, Langya King Kangte would definitely agree.

Then why is it postponed?

It was not until Kang Te calmed down that Zuo Hao went forward and briefly said the situation reported to the guards.

When I heard that it would take three days, the look of Langya King Kangte could not hide his loss.

"Strange, why do you have to make it three days later?"

Kang Cheng also began to scratch his head.

Only Yang Zhao, after hearing this, seemed to remember something, and said to Kang Xin beside him: "Hurry up, go to the palace gate, put Yi Lian down, and rush into the dungeon."

Kang Xin was stunned at first, then ran out and ran out.

Seeing that everyone was puzzled when they looked at him, Yang Zhao smiled slightly and then explained: "Father, sir, think about it, our Langya Kingdom is still a martial artsman, and Yi Lian is a defeated general. Even if he goes back, his prestige in the enemy will be lost. It can be said that he is almost a useless person, but Yi Chu still wants to exchange him back."

"Yes, why?"

Kang Cheng shook his head.

"First, Yi Chu doesn't want to leave his subordinates the impression of abandoning his subordinates, otherwise no one will work hard for him. Second, if Yi Lian is left here, more secrets will probably be revealed."

"Then, shouldn't he change it back immediately?

Why do it take three days later?”

Zuo Hao was also a little stunned.

Yang Zhao nodded, "I think that in these three days, Yi Chu will send someone to rescue or assassinate Yi Lian. If Yi Lian is dead, in three days, he will be able to besiege Hongcheng in the name of revenge for his brothers."

"What a vicious plan."

The civil and military ministers present cursed one after another. In fact, there were not many ministers anymore. Most of them had been forced by Yi Chu to resign and go home or be killed.

"Okay, you all will part."

Langya Wang Kangte waved his hand and asked everyone to retreat.

Next, he had to discuss countermeasures with Yang Zhao, and naturally the fewer people knew, the better.

"Zhaoer, what do you think should you deal with this matter?"

Yang Zhao looked at the people present, the old Prime Minister Zuo Hao, the General Kang Cheng, and Kang Bo's only bloodline Kang Xin, all of whom were reliable.

He then slowly spoke, "Father, my son think that if we put people in the dungeon and set up an ambush, we will definitely gain something."

Zuo Hao looked at Yang Zhao and was shocked. He went to the Central Plains and made great progress.

This suddenly became the king's confidant and was very good at giving advice.

In Tai Chi Palace.

Queen Wang got up early and walked around the yard for two rounds. She also felt a little boring. The winter was too depressing, and even in the palace, there was no scenery.

After returning to Lizheng Hall, after drinking a dish of tea, someone came to report that a man named Liu Yuyao asked for a visit.

Liu Yuyao?

Queen Wang thought about it very seriously for a while, and finally remembered it and said self-deprecatingly: "I forgot about this Liu Yuyao, who has served the Ai family, has eaten hot pot."

Liu Yuyao gently moved the golden lotus and came to the front to greet Queen Wang.

"I have met the Queen, Queen Jin An."

Queen Wang nodded in praise. This Liu Yuyao is worthy of being a wealthy family. She is well-educated and generous.

"Liu Yuyao, what's wrong with you coming to meet Ai's family?"

Liu Yuyao bowed again and took out an account book from her sleeve.

"Back to the Queen, this is the account record of the hot pot restaurant for a month. My young master said that he would come to report to the Queen on a monthly basis, so I came."

"oh."

Queen Wang nodded and winked at Xiu'er.

Xiu'er stepped forward, took the account book, and then submitted it to Queen Wang.

Queen Wang briefly looked through it, and saw that her handwriting was beautiful and regular, and she remembered every account clearly.

Finally, look at the total number, one month makes a profit of 5,000 taels of silver.

This number was a bit beyond her expectations, not less, but too many.

"Liu Yuyao, tell the Ai family what are the shortcomings of the hot pot restaurant this month?"

"Greeting back to the queen, I think that if you are in good condition, you will feel weak. We only have these few dishes, and there will always be times when we are tired of eating them." As soon as the words were spoken, Xiu'er, who was standing beside her coughed gently.

"Liu Yuyao, you are so brave. Do you dare to say that this hot pot restaurant will not last long?" Liu Yuyao pounced, knelt on the ground, and said calmly: "Go back to the queen, I don't have this intention."

At this time, Queen Wang suddenly remembered something. Looking at the generous Liu Yuyao, can this represent my Tang Dynasty woman?

If she could get married, she would definitely not be embarrassed by the Tang Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Queen Wang changed her smile and waved her hand to Xiu'er, "You go back, I think Miss Liu is right."

Suddenly, from Liu Yuyao who called her name directly to Miss Liu, this sudden change caught people off guard.

Liu Yuyao knelt there, lowered her head, and said, "Liu Yuyao is a sinful person, and she dare not call herself a girl!"

"Oh, tell the Ai family, what are your sins?"

Queen Wang said, handing the account book in her hand to Xiu'er.

Then he looked at Liu Yuyao very seriously.

Liu Yuyao didn't expect in her heart what kind of thoughts Queen Wang had.

Rehabilitation of her father was her lifelong belief. Now when she heard the queen asks, she naturally refused to miss this great opportunity to seek justice.

"Great Empress, my father is Liu Wenyuan, a consultant doctor in the previous dynasty."
