Chapter 472 Happy Inn
Now Zhang Lin is a lovely person in the eyes of the queen. She can't wait to seize the mood. His proposal is a very obvious procrastination technique in her opinion.
Although she was in a state of excitement, she felt a hidden worry in her heart. After experiencing so many events, her relationship with Zhang Lin is now in a relatively subtle and embarrassing state. As soon as she comes, she will inevitably be hasty and it is difficult to reach the state of blending that she hopes. It is necessary to brew a feeling and make both parties relax each other. That is the best way to sleep.
So, she suppressed her impatience and agreed to Zhang Lin’s two requests very generously, and said with a meaningful smile:
"You can tell your queen story while pinching my shoulders and pressing my back."
"Abide by the order." Zhang Lin agreed respectfully, holding Wu Zetian and sitting down on a dragon chaise. While standing behind her and gently pinching her shoulders for her, he told the story with emotion.
Originally, Zhang Lin didn't want to tell the queen's story anymore, because most of the queen's stories involved favors, betrayals, and usurpation of the throne, which easily made Wu Zetian get along with her and became displeased. The loyal story would make her think it was ridicule. It can be said that through several experiences, Zhang Lin felt that the queen's story was a minefield and could be avoided as much as possible.
But the emperor limited the scope of the story for him, so he couldn't jump outside the queen to tell other stories.
There was no choice but to start the story of Russian Queen Catherine II.
The background of the story is still placed in Britain, so as not to be found by Wu Zetian and have unexpected twists and turns.
A girl named Sophia was born in a declining noble family. She looked plain and had no beautiful and dazzling appearance, but she spoke well and was smart and was chosen by the queen as the wife of the crown prince Peter.
Crown Prince Peter was not born by the queen, but her sister's son. Because the queen herself had no descendants, she chose her nephew as the heir to the throne.
However, Peter did not like Sophia. He had a new love. Marrying her was just to carry out the queen's will.
Sophia, who was treated coldly, felt very sad and depressed, and later she also found her own relationship.
"Sofia is too presumptuous! She is so unfaithful, so does the Crown Prince Peter ignore her?" Wu Zetian didn't like Sofia in the story, and even hated her bad style. Because she herself, although she had many male concubines in her later years, when she was a concubine, she believed that she still had female virtues and was loyal to her husband.
Zhang Lin smiled slightly: "Because Peter doesn't like her, he doesn't care much after knowing it. The two of them look for their own relationship, and they can be said to be in peace."
Wu Zetian felt it was ridiculous and frowned and said, "Don't the queen care?"
"Where will the Queen know if Peter doesn't complain? The Queen likes Sophia very much. Later, Sophia gave birth to the emperor's grandson, which won the Queen's favor.
But Peter did not think that the child was his. The relationship between the two deteriorated and the situation was the same as water and fire.
After the empress passed away, Peter succeeded to the throne. He wanted to exert his power to imprison Sophia and depose it and establish a new queen.
The situation is extremely critical.
Sophia did not leave her will, but launched a mutiny, imprisoned Peter, ascended the throne and became the queen, known as Catherine II."
Until Zhang Lin finished speaking, Wu Zetian did not express any more. Her feelings were almost brewing. So she stretched, looked at Zhang Lin with a rippling look, and said with a smile: "I am tired."
Zhang Lin knew the meaning of these three words very well, and Wu Zetian was anxious and couldn't wait.
Originally, Zhang Lin’s plan was to propose to release Fei Tianbiao after the story was told and the relationship with Wu Zetian was restored to a little harmony, and to find Xiaomei and rescue the emperor. Now it seems that this proposal can only be discussed later.
Although the incident happened suddenly, Zhang Lin was not panicked because he had already figured out how to deal with it when telling a story.
He helped the queen to the dragon couch and dared to secretly take out the Seven-Star God List, knocking the Queen, who was a little excited and excited, and doing decisively, cleanly and neatly.
After recharging, the shock function of the Seven Star God Stick was much stronger than before. The Queen fainted without even hiccupping.
The rich joy of the previous moment remained on his face.
"Emperor." Zhang Lin pressed into the queen's ear and shouted softly.
The queen did not react at all, and the corners of her mouth were still slightly curled.

At night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.
Xiaowu entered the tightly defended Shendu as if he had entered a no-man's land. One or two unlucky soldiers happened to be guarding the battlement of the city tower where he climbed the city. He flew from the city to the city tower and took a knife and killed him, and then easily entered the Shendu.
The guards guarding the city and the Jinwu Guard searched the city in a lot of effort, but it was all in vain.
Xiaowu had already merged into the confused night and disappeared without a trace.
The general defending the city once again informed General Li Duozuo of the Yulin Guard in the form of an urgent report.
"Strengthen the alert." Li Duozuo issued a serious order, raising the alertness of the palace to a higher level, and at the same time informing Fenghuang and Wu Chang as quickly as possible of the urgent reports received.
Because the emperor's imperial carriage is in Hanyuan, the level of alertness in Hanyuan has reached an unprecedented level.

In one of the rooms of an inn with the font "Xiaoyao Inn" hanging, a young man sat behind a table and pondered.
He had white bandages on his arms and legs, and there were bright red blood on it, which showed that he was seriously injured.
This person is the emperor's grandson, Li Zitang, who was regarded as the future emperor by Guo Xiangcheng.
After failing to assassinate Zhang Lin, Li Zitang himself was seriously injured and could not escape from Shendu safely, so he fled to this inn and hid.
Xiaoyao Inn was once lived in Wuya, and Li Zitang also stopped here many times. Until now, the place has not been exposed to the outside world and no one knows it.
While pondering, Li Zitang was thinking about all kinds of thoughts. He was thinking, why are there such a powerful martial arts person around Zhang Lin? Wuya was imprisoned to save him, not knowing how life and death are? Finally, his thoughts returned to Shangguan Wan'er. He met her head for the first time, and he realized her beauty and Duan Wan with his own eyes, and his love for her became stronger and stronger.
He was thinking that after his injury healed, he would enter the underground palace again and try his best to rescue Shangguan Wan'er.
Because such a thought arose in his mind, he did not leave God. Logically speaking, with his skills, even with some pain, there would be no major difficulties in leaving God.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door.
Li Zitang woke up from the thoughts, raised his head and looked at the closed door, as if he could see outside through the thick wooden door, and shouted in a low voice: "Who~"
"Young master, it's me." A voice outside said, a little hoarse, like a jackal making a sound.
"Who are you?"
Li Zitang asked in surprise that it was a very secret thing for him to be invisible in the inn. The waiter in the inn would not know his identity. In his opinion, the word "Young Master" is not an ordinary title, but refers specifically to him. Who would know that he was hiding here?
He suddenly stood up from behind the table and picked up a self-defense sword placed on the table. His own iron-cut sword had been lost when he failed to assassinate Zhang Lin in Hanyuan. This was another one.
"Young Master Wuyou, I am Xiaowu." The voice outside the door said gently.
After hearing this, Li Zitang put the sword back on the table and walked over to open the door.
At the door stood a relatively short man with an extremely strong face. This man was Xiaowu who was ordered by Li Baide to sneak into Shendu to do business.
When Li Zitang saw Xiao Wu appear in front of him, he was extremely shocked: "General Xiao, how did you find this place?"
"Young Master may not know. I am the owner of this Xiaoyao Inn." Xiao Wu smiled mysteriously and said.
"Oh, so that's it." Li Zitang immediately understood. No wonder Wuya was free to enter and exit this inn, and he never had to pay silver. It turned out that this inn belonged to Xiaowu, and Xiaowu was Wuya's uncle.
"Young Master, are you injured?" Xiao Wu asked not only with concern when he saw the blood-colored bandage on Li Zitang's body.
"A little injury is okay." Li Zitang waved his hand and said lightly.
