Dalongtou Mansion is located in the center of Rongyang City. It was the prefect's mansion for city officials in the past. When it came into Zhai Rang's hands, it was expanded and the already magnificent mansion became even more impressive.

Xingyang is located to the south of Tongji Canal of the Grand Canal, and along the westward side of the canal, only passing through Hulao and Yanshi cities, you can reach the eastern capital Luoyang, which is only a few long water journeys away: so the Wagang Army can establish its foundation here and attack the Sui Dynasty.

The room actually poses a major threat.

If the eastern capital falls, it will not only cut off the waterway connection between the western capital and the east, but also psychologically the victor can immediately ascend to the throne of the overlord of all the rebel armies in the world.

Due to its geographical location, Xingyang is at the intersection of the Yellow River Grand Canal and other rivers, and it is also a place where post roads must pass through. Therefore, Xingyang has been very prosperous since the Qing Dynasty and the Warring States. It is the center of east-west water transportation, and its importance is second only to Luoyang.

.

Therefore, despite the war, Rongyang City was still very prosperous. A section of the road from the South City Gate to Dalong Mansion was lined with grain shops, oil mills, and grocery stores.

The streets are very spacious and can accommodate ten horses galloping at the same time, giving it the appearance of a big city.

Xingyang and Xingze, which is close to the Grand Canal, are one and the other. They are actually two merged into one.

The large wharves such as Rongze and Rongyang are the transfer points for ships, while Rongyang is the transfer point for ships from the south to the north, and the intersection of materials between the Mishui River and the Grand Canal.

Both places are located on the main transportation lines, with a long official road in the middle, connected by residential houses and shops beside the road, which is a major feature of the local area.

Along the way, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling saw towering Buddhist temples, pagodas, and high-level mansions from time to time. They secretly thought that it was no wonder that the Wagang Army wanted to use this big city as a base.

After arriving at Da Longtou Mansion, Su Su took them to bathe and change clothes, and urged them to abide by the rules before taking them to the hall of Zhai Jiao Boudoir to meet this arrogant young lady.

For the sake of their innocence, the two of them respectfully followed the etiquette and stood in front of the eldest daughter of the Zhai family who was sitting on the main seat with their hands lowered, as if they were prisoners being interrogated.

After Zhai Jiao dismissed the maids and maids on her left and right, she even chased Su Su away. She looked at the two of them coldly for a while, but showed no intention of them sitting down.

When the two of them were secretly cursing, Zhai Jiao said, "Say it again and let me hear it."

Kou Zhong sighed in his heart, and vividly recounted what happened that day, and then said, "I wonder where the lady was at that time?"

Zhai Jiao shouted harshly: "Should I ask you or you ask me now?"

Kou Jin was speechless for this.

Xu Ziling was angry and said: "May I ask if Da Longtou is in the house?"

Zhai Jiao slapped her palm on the small table beside her and said, "This slave is so brave. Are you deaf? If you say unnecessary words, do you want to give me a beating before you obey the rules?"

Kou and Xu looked at each other in astonishment.

They brought such important and useful reports, but what they got in exchange was slaves with long-term skills and short-term talents, shouting about beatings and killings.

Zhai Jiao was satisfied when she saw that the two of them remained silent. She pointed at Xu Ziling and said, "You seem to be more honest. It's up to you."

Xu Ziling held back his anger and said: "Miss, please inquire."

Zhai Jiao's expression softened slightly, and she nodded and said, "Why did you climb up the roof beam? With my father's skills, how could I not know where you were hiding? What's more, with my father's skills, even if someone was hiding in the box and wanted to attack him, he wouldn't be able to do it."

It will work; I see that dad is not injured at all, so the person being rescued must not be my dad."

Kou Zhong was stunned and said: "This matter is easy to figure out. As long as the young lady asks the big dragon head, won't it be possible to figure it out?"

Zhai Jiao shouted: "Shut up, who allows you to speak:"

Xu Ziling smiled bitterly and said: "These are exactly what I want to say. Ask the big dragon head and the truth will be revealed."

Zhai Jiao's plump but slender breasts rose and fell violently a few times, and she stared wide-eyed and said, "I have my own sense of discretion in this matter. Just stay here until dad comes back."

Xu Ziling's eyebrows asked: "How long do we have to wait?"

Zhai Jiao was gentler to Xu Ziling, and actually replied: "Ten days and eight days, who can say? What do you know how to do, I can't support you on my own."

Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong looked at each other when they heard this. The eldest lady of the Zhai family, who was always described as having a "bad temper but a good heart", really regarded them as slaves who came to seek refuge with her.

Kou Zhong asked tentatively: "Excuse me, Miss, can I speak now?"

Zhai Jiao seemed to particularly hate Kou Zhong and said impatiently: "Say it quickly."

Kou Zhongqi: "Can we rest for a few days and decide what work to do after the big leader comes back?"

Zhai Jiao said displeased: "I knew you were a lazy guy. Didn't you get enough rest last night? It happens that the dining room is short of people, so you guys go there to help. Remember, you are not allowed to tell anyone about that.

Otherwise, I will kill you."

Kou and Xu couldn't laugh or cry. They made up their minds to persuade Su Su to leave with them.

The two of them moved around in the dining room, chopped melons and meat, and washed dishes. They were so busy that they returned to the small house where the servants lived to rest.

Just as he was sighing, Su Su came and said apologetically: "I don't understand why the lady treats you so badly, but you two good brothers, please bear with me. After Da Longtou comes back, everything will be different."

Kou Zhong analyzed: "I think she is annoyed that we revealed that she was kidnapped. She is such a face-saving person, so of course she is not happy."

Su Su said angrily: "Don't say that to her, okay?"

Xu Ziling shrugged and said, "Now that your lady knows the whole story, and my sister has fulfilled her responsibilities, why don't we leave immediately and go to Luoyang to find Brother Li."

Su Su's complexion changed slightly and she shook her head feebly.

Kou Zhong asked in surprise: "Don't Sister Susu miss Brother Li?"

Su Su bit her lower calendar and said softly: "What's the use of thinking about it?"

The two of them felt their hearts sink when they heard this. Could it be that the goddess had a desire, but Li Jing, the Prince of Xiang, had no dreams?

Su Su glanced at the two of them sadly for a few times, then forced a smile and said, "Your brother Li Ren has lofty ambitions and cares about his children. Please don't bring him together with others in the future, okay?"

Besides, I don't deserve him at all."

The two of them were speechless, they both felt sorry for her, but they didn't think about why she felt unworthy.

Su Su changed her smile and said, "You haven't had the chance to tell my sister what happened after we left, and you haven't told me to let my sister listen."

As if they had met their only relatives in the world, the two talked and laughed about their experiences in the past year. Su Su's pretty face turned red and she said: "The two brothers are really bad. They want to visit brothels all day long."

Xu Ziling didn't expect that after telling so many dangerous stories, Susu would only focus on this aspect, and shouted to the sky:

"It was all Kou Zhong's idea, I was just forced."

Kou Zhong smiled angrily and said: "You guys only know how to rely on me, don't you have this intention yourself?"

Leisu's pretty face turned even redder, and she said angrily: "Stop talking, men are like this."

The two looked at her in surprise.

Su Su lowered her pretty eyelids and suddenly said in a mosquito-like voice, "Do you want my sister to look after you?"

Xu Ziling was shocked and said: "Sister Su Su!"

Su Su said sadly: "My sister can accompany other men, but you are not my biological brothers. What does it matter?"

Kou Zhongse changed his words: "How can my sister be with other men? Brother Li...hehe..."

Su Su's beautiful eyes rolled with tears, and she lowered her head and said: "Sister is just a slave. You must obey the master's orders. Then you can make your own decisions."

The two of them suddenly understood and were immediately filled with righteous indignation!

Kou Zhonghuo stood up and shouted loudly: "I will go find that woman to fight for her life!"

Su Su was horrified and pulled him and screamed: "It's none of Miss's business!"

Xu Ziling's eyes were blazing and he said, "Whose business does it have to do with that?"

After Su Su forced Kou Zhong to sit back in the chair, she cried and said: "The lady has not come back at that time. The master was entertaining his subordinates in the house, and the secret father also came. That night I went out to serve the banquet, and someone asked the master for me, and the master agreed. Having said this, I burst into tears.

The two were furious, and when they asked for the man's name, Su Su refused to tell him.

After a while, the three people's emotions calmed down a bit.

Kou Zhong said angrily: "It must be a bastard like Li Mi. Let's go find him and fight to the death."

Su Suse changed her words: "It's not him!"

Xu Ziling said: "If you don't say it, we will just think of him. Old man Zhai is not a good person either."

Su Su said anxiously: "There is nothing I can do about it. Since the victory at Xing'an, everyone has said that all the credit belongs to Mi Gong, and the people in Pushan Gongying are even more arrogant. Alas, I shouldn't tell you."

Kou Zhong gritted his teeth and said, "Zao told Sister Su Su not to come back."

Su Su wiped away the tears with the corner of her sleeve, forced out a bitter smile, and whispered: "Now you should know why my sister doesn't want to see Brother Li. What's more, he only thinks of me as a little girl. After what happened, Sister, I don’t want to live anymore, but I always feel that you are a lucky person, so I endure the humiliation and survive. I hope to see you again one day, and now my wish has finally come true."

Xu Ziling said calmly: "Sister Su Su must not have any thoughts of committing suicide. We will leave tonight. As long as we find something like a fishing line, we will be sure to take my sister away. We, brother and sister, will never be separated again." "

Susu just shook her head.

Kou Yan sighed: "What else do you miss about my sister? Is it...hey..."

Su Su said harshly: "Don't make wild guesses. I wish I could cut that thief into pieces, just to remember the kindness of the young lady. Oh, is this good? When the master comes back, I will explain the matter clearly, and my sister will be completely dependent on you." That's good."

Xu Ziling felt that he still wanted to go on, and said decisively: "Zhai Rang will know the truth of the matter as soon as he hears it. There is no point in us staying. If sister makes up her mind to leave with us, we will sneak out of the house tomorrow to collect escape tools. Once it's dark, leave."

Kou Han said: "The most important thing is to avoid Mrs. Shen's eyes and ears."

Under the expectant gazes of the two people, Su Su finally nodded.

There are more than 300 maids, servants, and guards in the Zhai Mansion.

Zhai Rang only had one daughter, and his first wife passed away two years ago, so when Zhai Rang was away, Zhai Jiao became the one in charge.

Zhai Rang had three concubines, but none of them dared to offend Zhai Jiao, the female overlord, so Zhai Jiao monopolized all the fun in the house.

In the Zhai Mansion, since Su Su was Zhai Jiao's personal maid, although she did not like to have sex, most people took it for granted and treated Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling kindly.

In fact, the two of them were taller and stronger than the generals and guards at this time, and their eyes were bright and lively. The servants in the mansion dared to provoke them.
