Shanxiu looked at Ming Qi, "That's because Hezhou is already at a disadvantage, so he has always been afraid. There's no reason for him to play fair with you. The country of the Han family also comes from strategy. He sees very much because he is afraid, and you lose sight of the point because he is strong. But these people above are just guesses, so they simply want to verify these contents and don't have to run too far. ”

The meaning of Shanxiu's words still refers to the matter of visiting the East Palace at night.

"But even if the carefree man was in his hands, he wouldn't hide it in the East Palace, it was too obvious. Left three times by us to beat the grass spirit snake, the current prince has long been fine, except for a deeper puzzle, there will be nothing there, prepared for us. "Mingqi's reminder is not unreasonable.

"If it had been earlier, it was indeed not suitable to visit the East Palace at night, but now, by chance, another Turkic khan has arrived, and I vaguely feel that the arrival of this Turkic khan is inextricably linked with the crown prince. Or maybe it's just his calling. ”

The prince, who turned the corner of the palace, held on to the wall and walked steadily in the next few steps. The steward of the East Palace, who came out of the darkness, held his hand. He waved him away, "I'm fine." Later, send someone to inform Xinli Khan that I am going to see him. ”

"Do you want to see you tonight? But the prince is tired!"

"I don't want to see it, what can I do! If we can't succeed in weaving a dream for Xinli, all our plans will come to naught. Thankfully, the threat weaved for Ming Qi today didn't show much of a horse's foot. ”

"The old slave thinks that His Highness wants to convince him to believe in His Highness's good intentions and not be diverted by the will of the county lord......"

"I'm not going to convince him that much. Then it would be too hard to convince him. How can it be a matter of a few words to get others to approve of a choice of interests that has been imposed on him? Besides, when he has seen my sister of the county lord, he will certainly obey her when he looks back on the past. So, as long as my sister who is the county lord doesn't say those words that are full of lust. The steward somewhat understood what the prince meant, "Could it be that His Royal Highness wants to ......?"

"Take out the list of the persons in charge of the various salt roads under our control, and tonight, I will give it as a gift to my aunt, Celestia. The prince put his hand on his forehead, and his face was gloomy. If it weren't for the urgency of the situation, he wouldn't have much of his last fortune anyway.

"What does Your Highness mean...... However, these last salt roads are the last source of money for our government, and all the people who have been in business for several years are also trusted henchmen. Celestia had been coveting these salt paths in our hands before, tempting them to defect several times. These people are loyal to His Highness with an iron heart. ”

"Where are they really loyal, it's only because the person in charge of the salt road connecting the upper and lower parts of the salt road has not been dug up by my princess aunt, and they don't dare to betray me at a small point. The prince has always seen these facts thoroughly.

"Even if this is the case, His Highness is now going to give away such a secret. And that person is still Her Royal Highness the Celestial Princess, so in this way, it must be like a tiger with wings!"

The prince sneered gloomily, "Who told us that we don't have many gifts that we can handle? I want to borrow my aunt's sword to kill my county lord's sister, there is only such a bait that guarantees that nothing will go wrong! With my aunt's status, what else in this world can tempt her attention? I also know the importance of those things, but at this time, I have to break my wrist. Then, his gaze looked at his severed arm, "They think that I will become honest and cautious after I have no way out?" Then they really underestimate me, the real truth will be the opposite of what they imagined, and I will only become more crazy and more terrifying." If you have the chance, swallow them alive in one bite. ”

He raised his head to look at the lonely moon in the sky, and continued, "This is indeed another unreliable gamble, even if I come up with a decent enough gift like this, I must make sure that my cousin of the county lord can witness everything at the right time, and then let my aunt start a murder against her." Maybe I didn't think it was right before, and it wasn't necessary for Nobuyi to see the specific scene of Aunt Celestia hurting the county lord's sister. Because my worries seem to be unnecessary! The sister of the county lord and this khan, who met for the first time, could not say much. I just had to hold off their second meeting. When you think about it, the whole situation becomes much easier. ”

By the time the prince finished speaking, the steward understood everything, and his legs trembled with fright. He couldn't understand how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came up with such a terrible turn, because once the matter involved the eldest princess, it would become extremely dangerous.

The crown prince glanced at the steward's trembling eyes, "What's the matter with you?" Do you think that the gift I gave to the princess is not expensive enough, or does my aunt not dare to kill my cousin of the county lord?" In the past, my lonely and weak cousin of the county lord did not dare to be arrogant, and my aunt would not do anything to her, but tonight, after seeing this Xinli Khan, she must have grown in her heart a sense of security like a towering city wall! When she saw her aunt's secret, she would have been carried away by the joy of discovering the secret! Her intimidation would make her lose her mind. My stewardship eyes are still so suspicious of everything!It seems that I will have to tell you a little secret to convince you of your unnecessary worries, that my princess is not a delicate lady, and that she has never fallen behind in equestrianism or fighting. Well, you don't need to think about anything, just do what I say and wait and see. As long as we create these conditions for them, everything will come into being! In this way, we who cannot enter the palace can live freely outside. ”

When the steward was about to say something, there were already small servants going back and forth outside, and Xinli Khan arrived.

The prince sat down in his chair again, and had just made a request when he heard heavy footsteps approaching. Ordinary people may not understand, usually walking on the normal ground, it was originally a silent footsteps, no matter how careful you are when you arrive at the East Palace, carefully light your steps, the footsteps will appear, muffled like thunder. At this time, the prince sitting on the chair could also hear that Xinli had noticed the strangeness of his footsteps, and he also deliberately lightened his strength, but it was useless, the muffled sound still existed, but it was not the fault of the person walking on it. Instead, the crown prince asked people to dig and bury a few large vats in all the outdoors of the East Palace, so even the slightest footsteps on something would be amplified more than ten times. The two met, and after greeting each other, the guests and hosts sat down.

Xinli Khan opened his mouth and praised, "I just made a small observation, although His Highness's East Palace is simply arranged, but the hidden mysteries are even more fascinating!" The prince knew that he was referring to something that was amplified by the sound of small footsteps. This is enough to show that Xinli is a bold and careful person.
