Chapter 263 The huge temptation
Chapter 263 The huge temptation
Until night fell, Gao Zhen still hadn't found Bai Zhaozhao.
He hammered the table hard, and a dent suddenly appeared on it.
For the first time, Gao Zhen doubted his own abilities and found it hard to accept the fact that Bai Zhaozhao had really run away.
The doctor beside him was trembling as he acupunctured and removed the poison. He had to ask, "General, can you relax a little more?"
Gao Zhen had no choice but to loosen his clenched fists after hearing this. He took a deep breath and ordered the secret guard, "Go and help me contact the spies in Yuncheng to see if the Xie family has a person from the capital named Xie Xiaozhao."
Secret guard: "Yes!"
"Also, find a way to find out about Su Ling from the Rui Palace of the Tianyuan Dynasty."
Secret guard: "Yes!"
"Also, please invite Lin Nianqing over for me."
Secret guard: "Yes!"
Gao Zhen calmed himself down and recalled Bai Zhaozhao's face. This was the first time he had been fooled in many years. He must remember this girl well!
No matter who she is, no matter whether what she said is true or false, he must catch her, and then, he must get this woman!
That’s right, this is the substitute he wants most!
People like Gao Lin who only have good looks can only be used as decoration and cannot arouse any emotions in him.
But Bai Zhaozhao is different, with that arrogant demeanor, those mocking eyes, and the ability to escape!
All of this looks just like her!
There is a very deep alley in the border town.
On both sides of the alley are houses in an orderly manner. The red lanterns under the eaves sway gently, emitting a faint warm light.
The faint sound of stringed instruments can be heard from almost every building, attracting passers-by to stop and linger.
This is the largest gathering place of brothels in the border town.
When Bai Zhaozhao followed the bug all the way, he felt a little surprised and excited.
Visiting a brothel!
What a long-lost feeling of familiarity. I wonder if Bai Hao still dares to go to the brothel now.
At this time, Bai Hao, who was far away in the capital, sneezed. Tang Yanyan asked curiously, "Did you catch a cold?"
Bai Hao said indifferently: "No, maybe someone missed me!"
Tang Yanyan curled her lips and narrowed her eyes slightly: "Oh? Is there anyone who will miss you?"
Bai Hao's expression was stern: "It's impossible that anyone would miss me! With my character, family background and personality, I am not a high-ranking official and it's difficult for me to make achievements. Who would miss me except you!"
Tang Yanyan was amused. She knew Bai Hao did it on purpose. He was self-deprecating not only in front of her but also in front of other women.
Because he said that Zhao Zhao had warned him long ago that if a man wants to have a harmonious family, he must have a good understanding of himself. No matter how powerful he is outside, he must always be clear about his position at home!
And it was because of this that Bai Hao crushed countless unexpected hearts in the course of his duties.
Thinking of Bai Zhaozhao, Tang Yanyan sighed again: "If she sneezes when she thinks of someone, then Zhaozhao must have a cold every day!"
Bai Hao replied: "Yes, that's right! That's why I never think about her!"
Tang Yanyan was speechless for a moment: "...You are her brother, and she is away from home, and you don't miss her?"
Bai Hao said seriously: "It's not a question of whether I miss her or not, she is my sister and will always be! As long as she is safe and healthy, there is no need to worry too much!
Everyone has their own path to follow. She doesn't just belong to the Bai family. She has her own things she wants to do, just like you always run schools and businesses with the Princess of Qingyang."
Tang Yanyan nodded: "Speaking of which, a few days ago, a few young ladies asked me about Zhao Zhao. Humph, you dare to mention those playboys in their family? I rejected them all!
Sigh, I wonder what kind of husband Zhao Zhao will find, and whether he can indulge her in her willful life."
Bai Hao lowered his eyes, tilted his head to the right, and said meaningfully: "With you here, it will definitely happen!"
Tang Yanyan's eyes lit up: "That's right, my sister, those toads are not worthy of her!"
After saying that, the two left the garden.
Bai Lin, who was behind the rockery on the right, turned around silently and returned to the study. He took out a book and began to copy.
He didn't know when he started to develop this habit, but the process of copying books would make him calm.
Suddenly, that voice appeared in Bai Lin's ears again.
"Bai Lin, here I come again!"
Bai Lin pretended not to hear anything, and the hand holding the pen did not stop moving. He even turned another page of the book, as if he heard nothing.
"What? Do you think I can't do anything to you if you don't speak?"
Bai Lin curled his lips and whispered, "These days, you come to harass me from time to time, but you have never been able to hurt me. I really want to see what you can do to me."
"Humph, I didn't do anything to you because I was giving you a chance and I liked you!"
"Really? But didn't you say you already have a host? Why would you leave him?"
"Don't worry about this. As long as you promise, I will leave him immediately!"
"Oh? How do you leave? Kill him? Tsk tsk, it seems like being your host doesn't end well!"
“…No!”
"what is that?"
"He is simply no match for you! I am only temporarily bound to him and can break away at any time! If you agree, we can bind our souls together! Breaking away will cost a huge price, which I cannot afford! So you can rest assured that if we are bound together, we are absolutely equal!"
"Why should I trust you?"
"Then how can you trust me?"
"Who is your temporary host?"
"...Humph, if you promise me I'll tell you!"
Bai Lin turned another page of paper and continued what he was doing without saying anything.
After a long while, the system became impatient: "Why do you have to know? He has nothing to do with you!"
A trace of mockery slowly emerged in Bai Lin's eyes: "Not even close? You actually said that someone who wanted to attack my sister has nothing to do with me?"
The system was shocked: "You...what's wrong with you?"
Bai Lin's expression changed: "It is indeed the eldest prince!"
The system said angrily: "You are testing me!"
"Why, didn't you know when the eldest prince did these things? Didn't you know that he left loopholes for others to discover?"
"So what if you know? I didn't ask him to do it! It has nothing to do with me!"
"Really?" Bai Lin finally put down his pen, his expression gloomy: "But why did the eldest prince suddenly pay attention to Zhao Zhao? They had almost no interactions before, let alone any interest relationship!
Maybe the eldest prince did act on his own, but the person who really needs Zhao Zhao, no, not the person, is you! You need Zhao Zhao!
But it's very strange. You know she is my sister, but you still want to bind me. Would I deal with my own sister because of you?
Let me guess, do you have any secret about Zhao Zhao? If I agree to you, you will use this secret to slowly seduce me.
Or, you have great confidence that I will agree to your request! This secret must be a huge temptation for me! Right? "
