Chapter 61 Assassination
Not only Zheng Yueru, but people from other teams were also stunned.
The two carriages were glowing with light, which was particularly dazzling in the snow. Various glass bottles were neatly arranged inside, one carriage was for wine, and the other for perfume. The glass bottles were very exquisite, some were made of crystal glass, and when the light shone on them, it reflected dazzling light. Others were glass bottles of various colors, and not only that, they were also engraved with many patterns and words. The patterns seemed to be very simple outlines, but they completely portrayed the Yinzhou on the edge of the desert. The words were even more...
"Since ancient times, saints and wise men have all been lonely, only drinkers leave their names!"
"Sing and drink in the daytime, and return home with youth as your companion!"
"A cup of wine in the spring breeze, a lamp for ten years in the night rain."
"Red tender hands, yellow rattan wine, spring scenery all over the city, willows on the palace walls."
Etc., etc.
Zheng Yueru was stunned.
The others were also stunned.
I knew that this young master of the Liu family was a talented writer and famous in Liangzhou. But I didn't expect that he would actually carve these verses, which can be called eternal quatrains, on this wine bottle.
Shock!
I can only say it's shocking!
How could people of this age have seen these? Most people had never seen this fluorescent glass bottle, and coupled with Liu Zheng's various copywriting, wouldn't it be hard to put it down?
For a moment, Zheng Yueru wanted to hold it in her hands and play with it.
"Zheng'er, this..."
Liu Dahao was also jealous. Not to mention the people who followed him to Liangzhou this time, their mouths were watering.
Liu Zheng smiled and waved his hand: "The journey is a bit long, each of you can take a bottle to quench your thirst !"
Everyone was overjoyed and scrambled to grab it.
After a while, the carriage team started on the road.
"My son, my son, is this something from the gods?"
The Liu family's carriage was decorated in a high-end style, with all kinds of silk and satin decorations. It could be sat or lay down, and there was a small stove in the middle for heating. The temperature in the carriage was like spring. When Liu Zheng heard this, he laughed and said, "Dad, you should go to the Divine Workshop more often when you have time! You don't know anything about our family business now!"
Liu Dahao was not ashamed of being humiliated by his son, but proud. He said, "As long as you have my son, I will be a hands-off manager, so as not to cause trouble for you! But Zheng'er, don't worry, I will take care of the accounts, and there will be no mistakes!"
Liu Zheng was slightly startled, and only then did he realize that his father, although seemingly foolish, was actually quite insightful.
Liu Dahao said proudly: "My father really doesn't know my son's ability. Just this carriage can definitely cause chaos in the Liangzhou market. That old man Chen Ping, if he wants to embarrass us, he should think twice!"
"It's Zheng'er, Chen Ruoshi is really good. If you give her a few bottles of this perfume, it will be easy to get her. Then, we can see what old Chen Ping looks like..."
Liu Zheng was speechless and quickly begged for mercy.
Perhaps he was reminded by someone last night, Liu Dahao kept thinking about finding a wife for his son along the way.
Fortunately, at this time, the servant passed on the message that Miss Zheng invited Liu Zheng to come over for a detailed discussion.
"That's all, Zheng'er, Miss Zheng is not bad either!"
Liu Dahao's eyes lit up.
Upon hearing this, Liu Zheng fled in panic. This girl's carriage was naturally not comparable to that of a grown man. As soon as the curtain was lifted and a strong fragrance came in, Liu Zheng was slightly stunned. He sniffed a few times, then smiled bitterly and said, "Miss Zheng, how can you use perfume like this!"
Zheng Yueru was immediately embarrassed: "Brother Liu is making fun of Yueru!"
Liu Zheng saw her coquettish look, which was really becoming more and more charming. He silently said a few sins in his heart, and sat down with a smile. The perfume Zheng Yueru had just used was their first perfume product, called "Bitter Water Rose", which was based on the fragrance of rose as the top note, the strong fragrance of rose, the woody fragrance as the middle note, and the base notes of musk, cedar and sandalwood. This was originally what Liu Zheng was going to use to open up the market, but it took him a lot of thought to formulate it.
"There's no need to apply perfume like this. It's such a waste..."
Liu Zheng shook his head, picked up the rose-red bottle of perfume, and gently dripped a few drops on his hands. There was no other way, there was no sprayer these days, so he could only apply it. But when he dripped it on his hands, he was stunned. Zheng Yueru in front of him looked at Liu Zheng expectantly, her eyes were as clear as spring water, her whole face was exquisite, her eyes were bright and her teeth were white, she was a peerless beauty, and Liu Zheng's heart was moved when he saw her.
He just raised his hand, but he really didn't know how to start.
In this era, men and women are required to keep away from each other. Liu Zheng didn't think much about it at first, but now he was in trouble.
"Ah! Brother Liu..."
When Zheng Yueru saw Liu Zheng's actions, she instantly understood what he was going to do. Her pretty face immediately blushed and she looked charming and seductive.
Liu Zheng deliberately coughed dryly: "Miss Zheng, please don't call me a pervert. I only teach you how to use it. When you get to Liangzhou, you will have to deal with those women!"
Zheng Yueru hummed softly, but did not dare to raise her head. Her neck turned pink and smooth like a swan's.
Liu Zheng smiled bitterly, and then used the perfume in his hand to gently brush Zheng Yueru's ears and neck...
At this time, the atmosphere in the car became ambiguous.
Zheng Yueru's whole body stiffened, while Liu Zheng cursed in his heart why it was so tender and smooth.
This perfume teaching can't continue no matter what.
He coughed to cover up his embarrassment and said, "Then, just add the same amount from the armpit."
"Um……"
Zheng Yueru blushed and looked out the window deliberately.
The scene was still awkward and ambiguous.
Liu Zheng sighed: "Miss Zheng, can you tell me what kind of person Queen Zheng is?"
Zheng Yueru's body trembled, and then she looked at Liu Zheng. Seeing that he looked calm, she felt relieved. Zheng Yueru, who had returned to normal, smiled faintly: "So Brother Liu is planning to kill two birds with one stone on this trip to Liangzhou?"
Liu Zheng did not hide it and laughed frankly: "Miss Zheng, you and I have common interests, why should we distinguish between you and me? It would be our misfortune if the Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce was shackled in Yangzhou!"
This is the reality. He can sideline Qian Buqun, but he cannot sideline all the county marquises. Therefore, whether he can get a state marquis title is very important!
Liu Zheng said this in a normal way, but he didn't know that Zheng Yueru heard it with a hint of intimacy. The latter immediately pretended to be angry: "Brother Liu, you and I are just partners!"
Liu Zheng was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Okay, okay, a cooperative relationship. But in order to make more money, we should help each other, what do you think?"
Zheng Yueru rolled her eyes at him. "Empress Zheng was born in the Liangzhou Zheng family, the daughter of Grand Secretary Zheng Chen. She was the mother of the country and had a kind and righteous heart. She fell out of favor due to her old age and fading beauty, but she always maintained her position as queen and no one could shake her."
Liu Zheng nodded.
This is not easy. I heard that the current emperor has many confidantes, but none of them can shake her position as queen. Not only does she have her own means, but it seems that this university scholar also played a significant role.
But to say that she is kind and righteous, and a model for the country... Liu Zheng absolutely does not believe it. How can a kind and righteous ruler sit firmly on the throne of queen in such an environment of intrigue and deception in the harem?
"So why did she come back to visit her parents this time..."
This is what Liu Zheng cares about most.
Logically speaking, since the old emperor is in poor health, the queen should stay in the harem and not leave. This is very disadvantageous for the prince in his fight for the queen.
"I don't know that either!"
Zheng Yueru is just a businessman, how could she understand these political struggles?
Liu Zheng slowly closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
Suddenly he opened his eyes and asked, "Are there any descendants of the Zheng family who can command the army in Liangzhou?"
Zheng Yueru was about to speak when suddenly there were screams and cries from outside. Both of them changed color at the same time and looked hurriedly, only to see the convoy parked on the side of the road, and several men in black holding swords and knives approaching aggressively.
"There's an assassin!"
"Young Master, be careful!"
When Liu Zheng returned to Liangzhou this time, he knew there would be danger, so he brought Qin Changfeng with him. However, he did not expect that he had just left Yinzhou and had not even reached Yangzhou City when an assassin came. And judging from his appearance, the assassin was quite skilled. In just a few rounds, he had killed several Yinzhou soldiers. Qin Changfeng held a long knife and shouted angrily: "Who are you, you villain? I will kill you!"
There were seven or eight assassins in black. When they saw Liu Zheng and Zheng Yueru looking out the window, they seemed to have found their target. One of them shouted, "Kill!" and rushed towards the carriage.
"Protect the Master, protect Miss Zheng!"
Qin Changfeng was able to block the passage of ten thousand men, and with , several assassins' heads fell to the ground. However, the opponents were calculating after all, and each of them was very skilled and seemed to have a good plan. Four of them entangled Qin Changfeng, and the rest attacked separately.
“Stop them!”
Liu Zheng's face changed drastically. There were still a few Yinzhou soldiers around him, who guarded the two carriages tightly and fought while retreating. However, the bandits were quite strong and several of them were soon seriously injured.
"Don't panic, sir. The wind is coming!"
Qin Changfeng was so angry that he used all his strength to break free from the dead man. When he was about to kill Liu Zheng and Zheng Yueru, a long sword came to help.
boom!
The three masked assassins were all knocked out by Qin Changfeng.
"Miss Zheng, be careful!"
Unexpectedly, while the fight was going on here, several men in black stood up from the bushes, holding crossbows and aiming at this side.
Qin Changfeng shouted, but it was too late.
Liu Zheng was also frightened. The crossbow arrow was as fast as lightning and shot towards him accurately. Liu Zheng suddenly pushed Zheng Yueru, who staggered to avoid it. However, at this time, another crossbow arrow shot right at Zheng Yueru's face.
"Ms. Zheng!"
"careful!"
Several people shouted at the same time, and Zheng Yueru was frightened and turned pale, not knowing what to do.
However, at this moment, a man in charge of the convoy nearby shouted, jumped up on the spot, and actually used his back to block Zheng Yueru. The crossbow arrow shot into his back with a bang. The man screamed in pain and spit out blood.
Zheng Yueru's eyes turned red, she hugged the man and shouted, "Jiang Xuan!"
Everyone was shocked. How did Jiang Xuan get into this team?
