"Why didn't you save him?"

In the guest room of the residence arranged by the state priest for the prince, a girl in a blue brocade dress looked at the old man in black in front of her and asked with a tight brow.

"Song Douyuan is stupid, but he is also a disciple of the Tianque Realm, so he died in Yandi for no reason, and it is still the reputation of my Tianque Realm that is bad when it is spread. The girl sat on the Taishi chair, playing with a jade pendant in her hand, the jade pendant was green all over, and it was engraved with the appearance of a snake coiling and a tiger's body. Her tone was provocative, and the attitude revealed when she said this was more like the question of the superior facing the lower, and there was no respect and humility when the junior sought the solution of the senior.

What's even more strange is that Zuo Ming didn't reveal the slightest annoyance in the face of the girl's questioning, his face was as calm as if it was a matter of course to be questioned like this.

Zuo Ming's face showed a little strange color, and he smiled bitterly: "It's not that I don't want to, but I can't." ”

"Well, what do you say?" asked the girl, surprised.

"The moment that kid made a move on Song Douyuan, I wanted to rescue him, but at that time, a qi machine locked me, and I had been trying to break free from the influence of that qi machine for the rest of the time, but unfortunately, until that qi machine receded on its own, I couldn't do anything about it. The expression on Zuo Ming's face became more and more strange, and he said this, with a faint look of fear in his eyes.

"Is there such a character in Ningzhou?" the girl was obviously also aroused, her eyebrows furrowed, in a contemplative manner, and after a long while, she muttered to herself: "Could it be the old lion?"

Zuo Ming nodded and responded: "The buffalo still knows how to protect the calf, let alone the lion that shocks the north?"

"I don't understand what an old fellow who hasn't even opened the Holy Gate has to fear. The girl said helplessly.

Zuo Ming was also confused, but he said: "I have just reported this matter to the master, but the master told me not to act rashly, and not to have a head-on conflict with that old guy......"

"Then ......," the girl was noncommittal, and she was about to ask again.

Knock knock.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Mr. Zuo, have you rested?" Yuan Sleevechun's voice also sounded immediately.

The girl took the words back to her lips, shrugged her shoulders, and put the jade pendant in her hand into her arms. Her eyes narrowed, and she muttered softly, "It seems that this guy is also a person who wants to do business with us in a hurry." ”

"There is a saying in Yandi, it is called to shop around, and it is always right to listen to more. Zuo Ming responded with a smile, then his face sank, and he responded in the direction of the door: "Your Highness, please come in."

As soon as these words fell, the door was pushed open, and Yuan Sleevechun was standing at the door with a smile on his face.

"Miss Orange is there, too. Yuan Zhichun said with a smile.

"It's so late, is there anything going on with Your Highness?" Zuo Ming asked.

Yuan Zhichun took advantage of the situation to walk into the door, and said with concern: "It's not a big deal, I just want to ask Mr. Zuo if he is still used to living with Miss Orange, if there is anything you need to talk to your subordinates, don't be polite." ”

"Your Highness is polite, if it weren't for His Highness's generosity, the two of us would not be sleeping on the streets at this moment, how could there be anything wrong. Zuo Ming responded with a smile. Obviously, both sides are very good at greeting and polite words, and they are also handy when complimenting each other.

"Huh. Speaking of which, the kid surnamed Wei doesn't know what to do, and the Sanxiao Army has supported the army and respected himself over the years, so he is not afraid of the jokes of the two, this Ningzhou has always had the saying that Ningzhou Zhijiang does not know Yuan, and the father and emperor have not much to do with this Sanxiao Army. Yuan Chongchun sat down on the seat next to him, and then sighed with a look of concern for the country and the people.

Zuo Ming smiled secretly in his heart when he saw Yuan Zhichun's appearance, but on the surface, he said with a straight face: "No matter how arrogant the Sanxiao Army is, it will only be temporary. A retainer is just a retainer, and with the intelligence of His Highness, it is only a matter of time before he suppresses the Sanxiao Army. ”

Hearing this, Yuan Sleevechun's face became more and more gloomy, he sighed again, and said with a wry smile: "Speaking of which, I am not afraid of the two of you, although I am the prince of this Yan Land in name, but in fact this position is precarious, and I can't say that I will be taken away tomorrow on a trumped-up charge." It's better to be exiled elsewhere, almost dead at the corner of the street, how can you want to suppress anyone and not suppress anyone......"

"It's just ......" said here Yuan Sleevechun's eyebrows suddenly surged with a strong evil aura, and his hands grabbed his shirt, and the green tendons on the back of his hand were even more violent because of the excessive force. He gritted his teeth and said at that time: "Brother Song and I were like each other at first sight, we were confidants of each other, but we couldn't avenge it, which really makes my heart twist every time I think of this!"

Zuo Ming glanced at Yuan Zhichun, who had a sad and indignant look on his face, and secretly sighed in his heart at the superb acting skills of His Royal Highness the Prince, but continued to speak quietly: "Your Highness attaches great importance to love and righteousness, which really makes the old man admire, but he is old and old, and he can't help His Highness, so I can only wish His Highness a good ......."

When these words came out, Yuan Zhichun's heart hurriedly said: "What is Mr. Zuo, what is this, Mr. is highly respected, cultivation, virtue, and strategy are rare existences in the world, if Mr. can help me, then great things can be expected!"

Zuo Ming suddenly showed a look of embarrassment, and he said: "Your Highness, this is difficult to be old, what Your Highness did today, the old man remembered it in his heart, and he didn't want to be with His Highness, so he bluntly said His Highness." ”

"The Tianque realm and the queen mother of your state have a lot of dealings, and they have also made some regulations to each other, helping each other, although the old man admires the virtue of His Royal Highness, but he is humble in the Tianque realm. After all, it is impossible to influence the meaning of the sect......"

"Mr. Zuo doesn't have to blame himself, Yuan naturally understands Mr. Zang's concerns, but if Mr. is willing, can you recommend you to meet with the head of your sect, and then whether it is successful or not, I have my own gratitude." Yuan Zhichun finally waited for what he wanted, his tone suddenly raised a few points, and there was a little eagerness in his tone.

When Zuo Ming heard this, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, but he still said politely: "Your Highness's sincerity is naturally known, but the sect leader has been busy lately, and I am afraid that I don't have time to meet with His Highness." ”

The contempt in these words is very clear, and the meaning of the words is extremely blatant. But probably after years of forbearance, he finally caught a glimpse of the opportunity to change his fate, and Yuan Zhichun didn't hear the old man's voice. He said eagerly: "You can wait, as long as the head coach is willing to meet me, I promise to make the head teacher satisfied......

Zuo Ming frowned, his expression became more and more displeased, and his tone became a little colder: "If Your Highness has anything to say to the old man, the old man will definitely tell the head of the house, and when we meet, Your Highness will not mention it again." ”

The chill in Zuo Ming's words made Yuan Zhichun, who was hot in his heart, feel excited, and suddenly sobered up. Only then did he understand that even if he was the crown prince, he was not a great figure in the eyes of the Tianque Realm, and he was not even qualified to meet him. A burst of cold sweat appeared on Yuan Sleevechun's forehead, he was a little panicked, and hurriedly said again: "It's the juniors who lost their words, so ...... Then please ask Mr. to tell the master, the Jin family can give to the Tianque realm, and I can give it to Yuan, which is not a lie. ”

"Your Highness's situation is very clear, and Your Highness doesn't need to be nervous, but I don't think there is any need for His Highness to tell the master what His Highness said. Zuo Ming shook his head and sighed.

"Why is this?" asked Yuan Sleeve in surprise, his face pale.

"Although the old man admires His Highness's virtue, the people in the door don't know it. His Highness made this promise, it is not of any benefit to the sect, the sect has to bear a treacherous name for this, does His Highness think that the Tianque Realm will agree?" Zuo Ming asked with a smile.

Yuan Chongchun was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Then I can ......."

It was only before his words could be said that he was interrupted by Zuo Ming, the old man in black had a kind look at that time, he shook his head and said: "I know the sincerity of His Highness, and I am willing to help His Highness." ”

"Please teach me, sir. Hearing this, Yuan Sleeve Chun hurriedly said respectfully.

"Huh. Zuo Ming smiled: "A few days ago, I heard that the door was in contact with the Jin family, and everything went quite smoothly, but there was only one point that the Jin family refused to give me a reply to the door, which caused the head of the sect to be quite unhappy. ”

"If His Highness can respond to this matter, the old man promises to be able to persuade the master to provide enough help for His Highness in the upcoming battle for succession. ”

When Yuan Zhichun heard this, his face changed suddenly. Although he is eager to get the capital that can compete with the Jin family, he also understands that the conditions that can make the Jin family hesitate may not be easy.

Zuo Ming also saw his thoughts, so he smiled again: "Your Highness doesn't have to be in a hurry to refuse, this matter is not difficult, as long as Your Highness is willing to nod, you can do it." As for whether you agree or not, it doesn't hurt to hear it first......"

I have to say that this Mr. Zuo has a very good grasp of people's hearts, and after taking it step by step, he still grasped the initiative of this dialogue, and led Yuan Chongchun by the nose, but the other party did not know it.

"Tell me about it...... Let's talk about it. Yuan Sleeve Chun whispered with a solemn face.

Hearing this, Zuo Ming's face was even more smiling, he glanced sideways at the girl who had been sitting on the side listening to the conversation between the two, and after the other party handed him an approving look, he turned his eyes to Yuan Zhichun again and said softly.

"Nothing. ”

"I just want His Highness to agree that at this Hanxing Conference, the Tianque Realm can open a ...... for the young talents of Ningzhou."

"Mountains and Rivers ......"
