Chapter 223 Please Don't Let Me Down
Su Qing: "..."
Naturally, she had never heard this song before.
But...
The imagery, the metaphors, instantly broke through all her defenses.
It was too romantic!
This man, not only was he chivalrous and brave, and highly skilled in martial arts, but he also knew how to speak such sweet nothings!
It was over, completely over.
Su Qing felt she had completely fallen, and this man would probably never leave her heart for the rest of her life.
She no longer hesitated, actively stretched out her arms, tightly hugged Shen Yulou's neck, and leaned in her red lips, her voice gentle and firm.
"For you, I am willing to give everything."
"Whatever you want to do, I will follow."
"Whatever you ask of me, I will do."
"Just, please don't let the readers see, not even those with VIP access, okay?"
...When Wang Zhi opened his eyes again, it was already noon the next day.
He felt like the back of his head had been kicked by a donkey; it hurt like hell.
He shook his groggy head and forced himself to sit up.
He found himself lying in bed, covered by a soft blanket.
The blanket carried a faint fragrance, and the air was filled with the scent of a shared bed.
What was happening?
Wasn't I searching for assassins at Sister-in-law's place? How did I fall asleep?
He rubbed his eyes and looked around. When he saw the room's decor, he instantly jolted, half-sobering up.
This... wasn't this Madam Su Qing's bed?
Wang Zhi's brain was a bit frozen.
His CPU, GPU, and KFC were all close to overheating.
A crying female voice came from the corner of the bed.
"Help... help me..."
Wang Zhi suddenly looked up, and his pupils instantly dilated!
He saw Su Qing curled up in the corner, her thin gauze nightgown torn to shreds, revealing large expanses of fair skin and several suggestive red marks.
She clutched her body tightly with both hands, her long hair disheveled, and her face streaked with tears.
Her eyes were filled with terror and despair, looking as if she had been violated.
"I... I slept with Sister-in-law last night?"
Wang Zhi's mind buzzed, a complete blank.
"Such a beautiful thing, I... why don't I remember any of it?"
Looking at the exquisitely beautiful, pitiable sight in the corner, lust once again triumphed over reason in Wang Zhi's muddled mind.
He excitedly rubbed his hands, forcing a lecherous smile onto his face.
"Sister-in-law, don't be scared. I... I truly adore you! I swear to heaven!"
Just then!
With a loud bang!
The door was kicked open from outside!
Yang Dali, dressed in a strategist's robe, stormed in angrily, followed by several bewildered personal guards.
"How dare you, Wang Zhi!"
Yang Dali pointed at Wang Zhi on the bed and roared in anguish.
"You... you actually committed such a beastly act! Do you live up to Lord Liu's trust?!"
Wang Zhi's face instantly turned darker than the bottom of a pot, scared out of his wits, and he quickly tumbled and scrambled off the bed to kneel on the ground.
"I... I didn't! Strategist Yang, please let me explain! I didn't do anything!"
"You scoundrel, shameless! You're not human! You're an animal! Wuwuwu..."
Su Qing, in the corner, burst into an emotional performance, pointing at Wang Zhi and crying out hysterically.
"I'm going to tell the master right now! I'll make him slice you into a thousand pieces!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhi almost peed himself on the spot.
He knew Liu Wenxuan's methods better than anyone. If Liu Wenxuan found out he had put such a huge cuckold's hat on him...
His fate would definitely be worse than death by a thousand cuts!
He scrambled over, hugging Yang Dali's thigh, snot dripping from his nose as he cried.
"Strategist! Madam! Please, please don't tell Lord Liu!
As long as you don't say anything, I'll do anything! I'll be your ox and horse!"
Yang Dali looked down at him, secretly gloating.
You dared to boss me around before, and now you're kneeling before me like a dog?
Professor Shen's idea was truly cunning!
He cleared his throat and threatened,
"Now you're scared? It's too late! If Lord Liu finds out, your whole family will die!"
Seeing that Wang Zhi was sufficiently terrified, Yang Dali then changed the subject.
He leaned close to his ear, lowered his voice, and got to the point.
"Commander Wang, you've followed Lord Liu for so many years, holding three thousand elite soldiers in your hands. Are you really content with this?"
"A true man born between heaven and earth, how can he be content to forever live under others?"
Wang Zhi was crying, but upon hearing this, his sobs abruptly stopped, and he suddenly looked up, his eyes changing.
"Strategist, you... what do you mean by this?"
Yang Dali's lips curled into a sinister smile.
"What do I mean? I know how much money Liu Wenxuan has embezzled over the years, and don't you know too?
Those mountains of gold and silver are enough for us for several lifetimes!"
He glanced at Su Qing, who was still acting in the corner, his voice filled with temptation.
"Moreover, look at Anyuan County, isn't it true that any woman with a bit of beauty eventually ends up in Liu Wenxuan's backyard? Are you content with that?"
"Beautiful women like Madam Su Qing will still appear! But as long as Liu Wenxuan sets his eyes on them, they're his! And you? You can only stand by and watch, drooling!"
Wang Zhi's expression also gradually changed; he understood what Yang Dali meant.
"You mean, to overthrow Lord Liu?"
Yang Dali nodded, "Exactly!"
"Get rid of Liu Wenxuan! I'll be the County Magistrate, and you'll be the Strategist! The money in the treasury will be split evenly between us, and in the future, if any family has a beautiful daughter, you get to choose first, how about that?"
Wang Zhi gritted his teeth and said,
"Murdering the County Magistrate is a serious crime. What if the higher-ups investigate? What then?"
Yang Dali gave a cold laugh and said, "Don't worry, if I dare to do this, I naturally have confidence. I have someone above me."
Wang Zhi was stunned, "Who?"
Yang Dali cupped his hands towards the ceiling.
"Imperial Tutor Shen Yulou, Lord Shen. Lord Shen is currently an Imperial Envoy, on a mission to Yan State, and is passing through this area."
"Lord Shen has the Imperial Sword, allowing him to execute first and report later."
"We can just make up a reason and kill Liu Wenxuan."
Wang Zhi's eyes lit up, "Will Lord Shen agree to this?"
"Of course, Lord Shen and I are from the same hometown, and we have a close relationship. As long as we offer some money, it won't be a problem."
"You take out all your savings, and I'll chip in too, and we'll offer it all to Lord Shen."
"After that, won't the hundreds of thousands of silver taels in Liu Wenxuan's treasury be ours?"
Wang Zhi's heart began to pound with excitement.
His entire fortune was also tens of thousands of taels, and he had not plundered the common people any less.
To make him take out all of it, though it pained him somewhat.
But when he thought of exchanging tens of thousands of taels for five hundred thousand taels, this deal was absolutely worth it!
Wang Zhi gritted his teeth and said,
"Let's do it!"
"Strategist Yang, you absolutely must not betray me!
