Chapter 1779 Countermeasures
When she was caught, Erya was in a panic and didn't pay any attention to Lu Peng's situation. She didn't know that he had injured Huo Changhe, let alone the fact that the dagger was poisoned.
She was locked up here for two days without any news, and when she got the news again, it was shocking news one after another.
It was hard for her to accept it for a while.
Erya moved her wrist and looked at Zhao Zebang.
"You finally managed to run, why don't you just leave? Why did you come to save me?"
She thought that she did not have such a deep friendship with Zhao Zebang. Although they were both from Dasang, she had never looked down on Zhao Zebang's team.
They are all low-class people who have to work as spies to make a living. How can they be worthy of associating with someone like her who comes from the Regent's Palace.
Therefore, she usually didn't have much contact with Zhao Zebang, and when she had to contact him, she was not in a good mood.
Now that Zhao Zebang risked his life to save her, she had no choice but to ask.
Zhao Zebang was frank: "Now my team has been exposed and clearly all of them have been beheaded. Even if I can get out of here, where can I go?"
"So, I came to save you because I wanted to follow you. At least we are both from Dasang and we are both here under the orders of the prince. You won't ignore me, right?"
Erya looked at him and chuckled, "You are quite frank."
"I'm telling the truth," Zhao Zebang stood up, "Let's go, Lu Peng hasn't been caught yet. I heard he's some kind of bird, and the princess said we have to catch him even if he flies to the horizon."
Erya was startled, then sneered: "It is indeed a bird, but it is useless now. It is useless to catch it."
Zhao Zebang was confused: "Bird? He was obviously a human, how did he become a bird? Moreover, he is quite skilled, and he was able to injure Huo Changhe, which is amazing, how come he is useless?"
"Oh, right, hurry up and write a letter to the prince to report this news. Huo Changhe is dead. God, Dacheng and Dasang, who dares to have such a dream?"
Zhao Zebang's tone was surprised and he praised repeatedly.
"Are you sure? Why is there no movement in the mansion?" Erya still didn't quite believe it.
Zhao Zebang whispered, "I told you, the death was kept secret. How big is his influence? I don't need to tell you. Not to mention the northwest, Li Dynasty, and the surrounding countries and tribes including Dasang will be surprised."
"Lü Peng, the bird you mentioned is really lucky. It will be remembered in history."
Erya curled the corner of her mouth and had to admit, this was true.
It doesn’t matter who Lu Peng is. What matters is that he is the one who killed Huo Changhe.
Zhao Zebang asked quietly, "Can I be a bird? That's really amazing."
Erya was stunned, looked at him for a moment, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"You? What are you thinking about?"
"Niao and Shan are not ordinary people. They both have power in the army. What do you have? An ordinary spy."
Zhao Zebang suppressed his anger and said, "What about the flowers? Are they very beautiful?"
"Oh, when you mention flowers, you only think of beautiful flowers. That's what you think, right? Isn't that disgusting?"
Erya rolled her eyes at him, her face full of disdain.
Zhao Zebang couldn't hold it back any longer and his face suddenly darkened.
"What are you saying? You didn't choose this name, so why do you make people think that way? Can you blame me? Besides, it's not disgusting, right?"
Zhao Zebang snorted: "You Lanxing Pavilion is doing this business, and you still complain that others have wrong ideas?"
Erya looked at her impatiently: "Alright, are you done yet? Do you still want to be on my team? Don't think that you can show off in front of me just because you saved me. Even if you are on my team, you have to listen to me. I can't leave you if I'm not happy."
Zhao Zebang narrowed his eyes, gritted his teeth, looked at her and asked, "I'm just confused. You're just a slave, but you look down on us all day long. What's your right?"
Erya pointed at the tip of her nose: "Me? A servant?"
"Isn't it? Are you still the master of the Regent's Palace? Aren't you just a bed-warming maid beside the prince?"
"You are not a princess, nor a concubine, not even a concubine. What is there to be proud of?"
Erya was furious and stood up suddenly: "You lowly person, what do you know? I am the prince's personal maid, how can I be compared to an ordinary concubine?"
"A personal maid is still a slave, isn't she? What's so great about that?"
Zhao Zebang brushed off the dirt on his body and said, "If you don't want to take me in, then forget it. I can just run away and go back to Dasang. You can go and hang out with your birds, flowers, and mountains. I am a human being."
Erya's eyes flashed with contempt: "Who wants to get involved with them? They are just servants who work for the prince, and you don't even have the qualifications to be such a servant."
"If you don't want to be a slave, then don't be a slave. What's the big deal? Is it glorious to be a slave? I am a spy, but I am not a slave. When I return, I can go home and live an ordinary and happy life with my family. Can you do that?"
Zhao Zebang's words came from his heart. His skills were not top-notch, but they were not bad either, and he was also smart, otherwise he would not have become the team leader.
But he is still free and easy at heart and doesn't want to be bound by anything.
After he said this, he found Erya staring at him with a complicated look in her eyes, some secretly happy, but more of it was gloating.
Yan Ruyu, who was in secret, saw Erya's expression and had a bad feeling.
She wanted the silver ingot to make some noise to startle the two people in the yard and make Zhao Zebang leave quickly.
But, it's too late.
Then Erya suddenly laughed, laughing like a madman.
Zhao Zebang was a little confused by the laughter. Is this guy stupid? Why is he laughing like this all of a sudden?
"why are you laughing?"
Erya said with a smile: "You still want to go home and live a peaceful life?"
"From the moment you set foot on this road, it was already destined. There is no turning back. You are destined not to be able to go back."
Zhao Zebang was stunned: "What nonsense are you talking about? I was just ordered to come out to do a mission. After the mission is completed, I will definitely go back. The prince said so at the beginning."
Erya smiled, a cold light flashing in her eyes: "Don't you know yet? Let me ask you, have you received any reply to the letters you wrote home recently?"
As soon as she asked this question, Zhao Zebang had a bad feeling.
Indeed, he hadn't received any letters from home for some time.
But he had no fixed place to live, so it was common for letters to be late or sometimes lost.
So, he didn't take it completely to heart.
But when I heard Erya say this, my heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Yan Ruyu also heard the truth and thought to herself, this is bad.
Just when I wanted to stop it, it was too late.
Then I heard Erya looking at Zhao Zebang, each word was clear and sharp.
"You don't have any family left. They were all slaughtered the moment you left Dasan and stepped out of Kyoto."
Zhao Zebang stared at her, his eyes slowly filling with blood red.
