Chapter 344 Buy You 5 Years
"How did you get this thing?"
This was a festival gift from Pei Yan's father to Pei De. During the Dragon Boat Festival that year, his father got a piece of jade of average quality, so he simply carved a lucky plaque for each of the younger generations in the family.
Perhaps all the blessings were given to the younger generation, and he forgot to leave some for himself. Before the end of the year, Pei Yan's father died an untimely death.
"Don't involve Pei De in what's between you and me."
"Back when you were in the Royal Guards, he was the first person to save you."
Zhao Fangyu had been a female official in the palace, and later served as a tea-serving maid in front of the emperor. Naturally, she knew that Pei De was his weak spot.
A soft spot exposed in front of the emperor.
Pei Yan boasted that he had some ability in judging people.
He knew that Zhao Fangyu would most likely not take his life, but he didn't like being threatened.
"We are friends, so there is no need to do this if you need anything from me."
Zhao Fangyu said nothing and just chuckled softly.
"Asking for help?"
Zhao Fangyu saw through Pei Yan's little thoughts.
It's not her who should ask for help.
The jade token was taken back by Zhao Fangyu.
"I am a person who has always been afraid of death. I not only want to live, but also want to live well."
She is really afraid of death, and she has been trying hard to stay alive since she traveled through time.
She tried hard to take root in this strange land. She lived well and didn't want to die.
"I have reached the end of my rope. In the face of life and death, do you still want to talk to me in official language?"
"I've been a good person for so long. For the sake of my life, I don't mind being a bad person for once."
Pei Yan stared at Zhao Fangyu, as if trying to discern the truth from her words.
Zhao Fangyu had changed so much that Pei Yan couldn't recognize him.
In my memory, she has always been the same as she was in the palace, weak and frail, seemingly bullied by everyone, but with a tenacious spirit that never gives up, making it impossible to destroy her easily.
When in the presence of the emperor, she was cautious, tactful, and knew when to advance and retreat.
Now, she personally joined the game and participated in the murder of the commander of the Northern Pacification Division. She also sent people from thousands of miles away to chase and intercept him outside the city.
He thought that Zhao Fangyu, who was as harmless as the crabapple flower, could do anything when he became cruel.
"what would you like?"
Zhao Fangyu had changed so much that Pei Yan didn't believe that Zhao Fangyu would tie him up here just for Chenzhou's testimony.
"I want you to be of use to me."
The cliff next to it suddenly looked up with a scorching gaze.
Pei Yan didn't say anything. In the dark night, all that could be heard was the man taking a deep breath and then exhaling.
"What kind of magic potion did Zhou Qinghe give you? Why are you helping him like this?"
For the sake of that waste Zhou Qinghe, a woman like Zhao Fangyu wishes she could capture all the Jinyiwei in one fell swoop!
It's true that the barking dog bites. How can a man be more seductive than a vixen?
Pei Yan racked his brains but couldn't figure out what was so good about Zhou Qinghe that made Zhao Fangyu do this for him!
Zhao Fangyu shook his head slowly: "Yes, for my use."
"..."
"..."
After a while, Xuanbi reacted and suddenly raised his head again!
"...The Li family is interested in the throne?"
If the Li family wants to replace the Zhou family, then it is not a bad idea for him to switch sides.
Pei Yan is still weighing the pros and cons.
Zhao Fangyu had already shattered his fantasy in a deep voice.
"There is another hidden story behind your father's death."
Pei Yan pushed himself up with both hands, and suddenly pulled himself free from the ropes, standing up from the simple chair. "What do you know?"
The moment Pei Yan broke free from his restraints, Zhao Fangyu was already protecting him on the cliff.
Zhao Fangyu glanced at the moon outside, estimated the time, and finally brought up the main topic of today.
"Is Pei De's life, plus clues about your father's murderer, enough to buy you five years?"
