Chapter 171: Ink Drops
......
Wine glasses collided, shaking away the black fog on the side of the ship.
Thousands of hairsprings, hanging in all directions, drifting into the distance, like at night, the wind blows, gently lifting the curtains.
Huangfu Zhao raised his head and poured the wine in the cup, looked at the five princes sitting opposite, smiled humorously, and said: "Your Royal Highness, I haven't seen you for so long, but I have been thinking about having a few drinks with you, and I have waited until today, and I finally got my wish." ”
"I don't drink as much as you do. ”
The fifth prince held the wine glass, did not drink, and did not put it down. The amber wine reflected his well-defined face, and a ripple rippled lightly, wrinkling his loose smile.
Huangfu Zhao stretched out his hand, hugged Gongsun Shuyao on the side, smiled, and said, "Your Highness said that you are laughing." If you want to drink, you won't get drunk. ”
"You mean, I don't want to drink?"
The fifth prince glanced at Gongsun Shuyao, he recognized this woman, the alluring face of the Gongsun family, who had been hiding Jiaojiao for so many years, but he didn't expect that he was willing to let her come out.
His eyes sank, and he suddenly understood that it was not an accident that Gongsun Houtu was able to command the dynastic fleet.
Huangfu Zhao smiled, waved his hand and said, "Where, Your Highness just doesn't want to drink more." ”
Although he was polite to the five princes, he was far from being in awe.
It stands to reason that the prince should be respectful in front of the prince, but the emperor is an exception.
When it comes to power, the Huangfu family may not be enough, but as long as there is a Tantai family to take care of it, it will not be worse than the five princes.
Huang Fu Zhao is very clear about this, so there is no need for him to lower his profile, if the fifth prince wants to be crowned prince, I am afraid he will have to win him over.
"Your generals and soldiers have fallen apart, and you don't plan to summon them?"
The fifth prince smiled casually, although he was looking at Huangfu Zhao, he felt it very clearly, Gongsun Shuyao's eyelashes trembled, and the crystal mist overflowed, as if turning into a flowing glow and floating in the air.
Huang Fu Zhao put down his wine glass, turned his hazy gaze, looked at the void, and said, "I want to summon, but I am not qualified to give orders. ”
"You're here just to exterminate the bandits?"
The fifth prince smiled casually, he felt that although there were many bandits in Broken Cloud Harbor, they would not expand their power outward, and could only entrench themselves on the seaside, like a group of wandering hungry tigers.
Once they expand outward, they will bring about their own destruction.
If they lose the natural barrier of the coastal canyon, they don't need to go out, and the water monsters in the sea alone can make them take care of themselves.
Huangfu Zhao smiled wittily and said, "General Gongsun is ambitious, but he has never had the opportunity to display his ambitions. I think he may have something more important to do. ”
"Oh? ”
In the eyes of the five princes, a thunderbolt flashed, with his understanding, the Gongsun family has been declining day by day, if you use Gongsun Shuyao as a bargaining chip, vote for Huangfu Zhao, build a bridge, and exchange the influence of the Lantai family, you can restore a lot of power.
However, will the Tantai family allow it?
After all, Huangfu Zhao is a member of the Huangfu family.
After Huangfu Yin went out and did not return, the status of the Huangfu family plummeted in the dynasty.
Now, it is a strong outsider.
It was all by relying on the night of the Lantai family and using the power of the Lantai family to help in the middle, so that he could maintain his reputation.
Huangfu Zhao was able to mobilize military power, and it can be seen that Tantai Yehe loves this son very much.
In this way, the planning of the Gongsun family is not a mistake.
Judging from Huangfu Zhao's attitude towards Gongsun Shuyao, he is already on the verge of success. Gongsun Houtu came here, what else do you have to plan?
Huangfu Zhao raised his wine glass, took a sip, and said: "The merit of exterminating the bandits will reward him, but it will not satisfy him. ”
"You mean, he wants to be a marquis?"
The fifth prince smiled casually, and in the afterglow, the delicate figure trembled, Gongsun Shuyao lowered her gaze, her face was slightly sideways, and her eyelashes were long, piercing the black fog of the past.
Huangfu Zhao smiled, felt the tremor from the person in his arms, and said, "I'm just guessing, perhaps, he just wants to make a contribution and win glory for the family." ”
The fifth prince smiled, turned his face sideways, looked at the sky, held the wine glass in his hand, but never moved.
The masked woman stood in the bow of the boat, her back slender, hanging in the cool skylight, as if she was drying her sorrow.
Her back was shattered, the black fog on the horizon was startled, she suddenly turned around, walked quickly to the table, grabbed the wine glass in the hands of the five princes, lifted the mask with one hand, and the bright red lips were just revealed, and she had already held the wine glass and poured it down to the sky.
"The third princess?"
Huang Fu Zhao exclaimed, when the mask was lifted, the lower half of the face of the third princess was only revealed for a moment, but he still couldn't hide Huang Fu Zhao's eyes, for the beauty, he had the ability to never forget, and easily saw through the identity of the third princess who had been disguised for a long time.
The third princess clenched the wine glass in her hand, her fingers were snow-white, and at this time, another layer of frost froze. The mask was already covered, and there were droplets of water dripping, like wine, and there was no fragrance.
The fifth prince turned his head, looked at the third princess, frowned lightly, and said, "You have never drunk. ”
"Yes, I suddenly wanted to drink it today. ”
The voice of the third princess was full of coldness, as if it was because of resentment.
The fifth prince lowered his gaze and looked at the wine glass in the hand of the third princess, which was already empty, full of wine, and she drank it in one gulp, but she didn't choke.
"Because of him?" he asked.
"Not really. ”
The third princess held the hand of the wine glass, let go a lot, and she put the wine glass back on the table, much slower than when she grabbed it.
The fifth prince smiled and said, "It's not weird. ”
The third princess didn't speak, she only had a smile mask on her face, she couldn't see her emotions, and she didn't know if she was angry now.
Huangfu Zhao looked at the third princess and said, "It's rare to see the third princess drinking, do you want to have another drink?"
The smiling mask turned, facing Huang Fuzhao, paused for two breaths, and then turned to the side, still not speaking.
Huang Fu Zhao rolled his eyes, chuckled, and said, "I guess who will be the person who can make the third princess drink." ”
The fifth prince smiled casually and said, "You definitely can't guess. ”
Huangfu Zhao was very surprised, looked at the five princes, and said, "Your Highness is so sure?"
The fifth prince said: "Of course. If you don't believe me, you can try. ”
Huangfu Zhao's eyes raised slightly, and said, "The person you like." ”
The fifth prince smiled and said, "Almost." You can't name it, though. ”
Huangfu Zhao lowered his brows, and after a while, said: "The person who can make the third princess fall in love must be a talent and a celestial appearance. ”
The third princess finally spoke up and said, "What are you talking nonsense!"
Huangfu Zhao smiled and said, "If the third prince mainly minds, I won't guess." ”
The third princess didn't look away, didn't speak,
The fifth prince looked at Huang Fu Zhao and said, "He is in the same family as you, but he is not a surname. ”
Huangfu Zhao's eyes widened and he said in surprise: "How is it possible!"
He didn't have to guess, as if he already knew who the fifth prince was talking about.
The fifth prince smiled, looked at Huangfu Zhao, and said, "How is it impossible?"
Huangfu Zhao lowered his gaze and muttered, "He has been away for many years, how can he come back?"
The fifth prince said: "He is the bloodline of General Huangfu, how can he be willing to be a coward and keep avoiding?"
"Your Highness has seen him?"
Huangfu Zhao raised his eyes and hugged Gongsun Shuyao's hand, which had already been withdrawn and held on the wine glass.
The fifth prince smiled casually and said, "Of course." ”
"When?"
"Not so long ago. ”
"His Highness has nothing to do with him, how could he meet him?"
"If you happen to happen, you'll inevitably see it. ”
"How is he now?"
The fifth prince said, "What, you want to go to him?"
Huangfu Zhao held the wine glass with both hands, looked at the fifth prince, smiled, and said, "I have this plan." ”
The fifth prince said: "He was still here just now. ”
Huangfu Zhao's eyes widened slightly, his drunkenness dissipated a lot, he paused for a while, and said, "The one in the black robe?"
The fifth prince said: "That's right. ”
Huangfu Zhao smiled and said, "No wonder, I said that it looks very familiar, and I can't remember who it is." ”
The fifth prince said: "It seems that you didn't think he would come back." ”
"Where. Huangfu Zhao shook his head, "It's just that I haven't seen you for too long, and I haven't recognized it for a while." By the way, where did Your Highness meet your cousin?"
The fifth prince said: "On the boat." ”
Huangfu Zhao said: "The ship that is looking for the treasure?"
The fifth prince said: "That's right. ”
Huang Fu Zhao picked up the wine glass in one hand, put it to his mouth, and poured it down for a much longer time than usual.
Few people can see this.
When the wine glass was put back on the table, it shook Gongsun Shuyao's eyes, her long eyelashes trembled for a while, and she opened her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but there was no exit.
