Chaoxi looked at Shang Jue with deep eyes, and his obsidian-like pupils were full of sharpness.

Sakura's lips opened slightly, and the three words were slightly chilly, "You're crazy-"

Shang Jue sat down on the main seat freely, and the smile on his face deepened when he heard this, "I told you that there is one thing that I can only rest assured if Yu Yu personally sent it, and now you know it." ”

After a slight pause, Shang Jue's tone was solemn, "I'm not crazy. ”

Chaoxi's eyes became more and more unpredictable, but he firmly held Shang Jue and did not let go of the expression on his face.

Seeing that she was so serious, Shang Jue sighed again and shook his head, "Don't think about it so complicated, you like to weigh the pros and cons, then just look at the pros and cons, you have a fief before you marry into the Yan Kingdom, which is a good thing." ”

The chin was slightly raised, "I never believe that there is any kindness in the world that does not ask for anything in return." ”

I don't know what to think, I said again, "I asked you when you came to Baling with me, what do you want, and now I have to ask again, what do you want? What is more important than those nine cities?"

Chaoxi's voice was dark, as if he was facing a great enemy, Shang Jue frowned when he heard it, although his face was full of helplessness, there was still tenderness in his eyes, and he smiled gently, "If the city is gone, you can take it again, Yan has a fire and a silver feather army, it is not difficult to conquer the city, you are familiar with the five border cities of Zhao State, and you are not unfamiliar with the four cities of Jin State, I think you will like it." ”

Chao Xi took a shallow breath, "Yan Zhao has been fighting for more than half a year, even if Yan Guo is well prepared, but the military consumption for most of this half year is not a small amount, and there are even more Yan soldiers who have been damaged, I don't think these are insignificant in your eyes." ”

"Certainly not insignificant. Shang Jue sighed, "It's just that there are more important than them." ”

Chaoxi raised his eyebrows, "What is more important than them, more important than the nine cities......?"

A smile appeared in Shang Jue's eyes, "Yan and Shu are facing each other from north to south, if what I am looking at is Shu, I must first consider how the Fire Rider can put on wings and cross the border between Zhao and Jin to go south......"

The light in the eyes of the morning and evening is gone, and at a glance, he knows that he is still studying this problem, Shang Jue sighed lightly again, "Yan Guo ranks first among the five major princes, and has obtained nine new cities, it is inevitable that it will be suspected by Ho Jing, this time these nine cities have changed owners, presumably Ho Jing will also be very surprised, if these nine cities are used as a dowry, Ho Jing should no longer question Yan Guo's intentions." ”

Squinting his eyes day and night, he picked it up unhurriedly, "And you, His Royal Highness the Prince who is in charge of using the nine cities as a dowry, will also be ignored by Haojing as a person who is stunned, and the nine cities are so far away from Shu, I don't know when to marry into Yan Kingdom, in the end, although it is counted in my name, it is still in your hands, so it is a good shot." ”

Shang Jue smiled happily, "Okay, it's good if you understand." ”

Chaoxi pursed his lips, wanted to say something but didn't speak, Shang Jue lifted the curtain of the chariot and glanced out, and said casually, "So you shouldn't have any worries? When it comes to weighing the pros and cons, you are no worse than me!"

Chaoxi groaned slightly, and nodded, "That's fine." ”

Shang Jue lifted the curtain of the car and chuckled, "It seems that this explanation is really the most in line with your heart, but won't you guess other possibilities......?" I'm really giving you these nine cities......"

Raising his eyes again and staring at Shang Jue, Shang Jue leaned closer to her, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the person who had always been calm and elegant brought two points of laziness and cunning, but it was even more confusing, "Actually, you must have thought about it like this......"

Chaoxi's heartbeat was inexplicably fast, and a pair of eyes narrowed even tighter, "Ridiculous!"

Scolded, Chaoxi turned his eyes to look out of the car curtain, the chariot has been far away from the Chongzheng Hall to the north gate of the inner palace, where there is a funeral hall responsible for receiving envoys, this time the team responsible for sending the dowry is waiting there, Chaoxi still remembers the large team of Yan Guo officials seen outside Qinzhou City, the more people come, the more it can show that Yan Guo attaches great importance to this marriage, and Chaoxi is not the wife of Yan Guo's prince now, but he was taken by him to meet people, I am afraid that even these Yan courtiers think that he is very fond of her!

"Your Highness, it's here, everyone is waiting for you. ”

The chariot didn't stop for a long time, Yu Kun's respectful voice sounded outside, Shang Jue glanced at Chaoxi, and walked out first.

Wang Qing came forward to greet him, "His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Princess, Lord Yu, and the reception of the ministers of the Yan Kingdom have been arranged, you don't have to worry, but the king is not at ease, let the slave come over and take care of it, if there is anything wrong, please ask His Royal Highness the Prince and Lord Yu to order the slave is, and your lord's post house is also outside the palace gate——"

Wang Qing said so, naturally saying that what Shu prepared for the vassals of Yan State was the best, Shang Jue nodded with satisfaction, and walked into the front of the main entrance of the funeral hall, the vassals of Yan State who were waiting in the hall had already received the news, and they were waiting inside, seeing Shang Jue's face, all the courtiers showed respect on their faces, lifted their robes and bowed to the chief bow.

"Wechen meets His Royal Highness the Prince-"

The chant in unison was like a bell, but after Shang Jue stood still, he turned sideways and let go of the day.

"This is the Shaking Light Princess of Shu. ”

These words are instructions, so all the courtiers of Yan Kingdom still can't kneel on the ground!

"Meet Princess Shake Light. ”

The people of Yan only kneel to their own kings and sons, and Yu Kun has never even bowed down to the king of Shu, but these Yan vassals have to kneel down to worship the morning and evening, standing quietly beside Shang Jue day and night, and their hearts sink and sink!

Shang Jue curled his lips, "Everyone has worked hard, when you get to Baling, take a good rest, and get up." ”

After a slight pause, Shang Jue turned to look at Yu Kun again, "You will arrange the dowry handover, everyone else will go to the post house to rest earlier, Shu belongs to the south, I am afraid that many people will be unwell, you will have to return soon, take care of your health." ”

There is a huge difference in climate and soil between the north and the south, although most of the officials accompanying him this time are young and strong men, but just by looking at this, you can see that many people have sickly faces, Shang Jue's words are gentle and kind, and they are said to their hearts, Yu Yu hurriedly arranged for other officials to go to the post house first, but a voice suddenly sounded in the crowd!

"It's a long way back, and Your Highness must also take care of your health. ”

This was originally a word of concern, but there was a meaning in the words to let Shang Jue go back to Yan Kingdom together.

Shang Jue looked at the man with an impassive face, "The lonely return date is undecided, you don't have to worry, go and rest." ”

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the entourage were a little surprised, it turned out that in their opinion, Shang Jue would definitely go back to Yan Kingdom with them this time, and he suddenly said that his return date was undecided, which obviously caught everyone off guard!

"The return date is undecided...... When does His Highness plan to return to Yan?"

The man didn't dare to say much before, but a man who looked the oldest on the side walked out and bowed his hand, although he was asking Shang Jue, but there was some strictness in his words, and then looking at the grade of the official uniform, it turned out to be only slightly under the depression.

Shang Jue's expression was even gentler when he watched the man come out, "When everything in Baling is settled, you will go back to Yan Country alone, you don't have to worry, but you need to go back to preside over the overall situation as soon as possible......

The good appearance of that life, but the old age between the eyebrows is a little strict, hearing Shang Jue's words, he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, looked at the day and night on the side to endure it, just nodded and bowed deeply to Shang Jue, "Please rest assured, His Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen just thinks that the king can't ignore the dynasty, and the Yan Kingdom can't do without His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Shang Jue smiled with relief, "Lone understands, it's too late today, and I'll talk about it when I see you tomorrow." ”

The man's expression was slightly relaxed, probably thinking that there was still room for change in this matter, and immediately said no more, Yu Kun comforted a few words, Wang Qing hurriedly arranged for the palace people to take the vassals of Yan Kingdom to leave the funeral hall of the inner palace, and as soon as the people left, Yu Kun turned his head to look at Chaoxi, and said gently, "Her Royal Highness the princess wants to go and see the dowry prepared by Her Royal Highness for the princess?"

The corners of Chaoxi's lips moved a few times, and there seemed to be some hesitation to go or not, Shang Jue smiled beside him, "Who wants you to borrow flowers and offer Buddha at this time, pick a few things and send them to the princess's mansion first, and the others will be registered with the people in the palace." ”

Pick a few things to send to the princess's mansion?!

Everything in this dowry is in the book, so how can I send it to the princess's mansion privately?

When Chaoxi raised his eyebrows, Wang Qing on the side had already smiled, "Please rest assured, Your Royal Highness, there are slaves watching from the side, and you will definitely not go on a business trip." ”

Wang Qing's words were kind, but he didn't seem to have heard Shang Jue's words about sending him to the princess's mansion.

Shang Jue nodded with a smile, "With the prince here, Gu is naturally relieved." ”

Shang Jue usually has good words for anyone, otherwise he would not have the name of the god and Buddha, but Chaoxi felt that he was extremely kind to Wang Qing, this thought flashed, but Shang Jue looked at her again, "Let's go, send you out of the palace." ”

The sky has darkened, it is indeed time to leave the palace, Chaoxi did not refuse, turned around and walked out of the funeral hall.

got into the car, all the way to the gate of the palace, the light in the car was dim, Chaoxi and Shang Jue didn't speak, no one could see the expression on each other's faces, after a long time, Chaoxi suddenly asked, "Why can't King Yan pay attention to the court?"

In the dark and narrow carriage, the expressions of the people close at hand changed slightly, although it was only a little wave, but with the spiritual sense practiced when he was blind at night and day, he still felt it, and it was obvious that this problem was Shang Jue's reverse scale.

The chariot swayed on the flat palace road, and the creaking of the wheels could be heard far away in the lights of the second day.

The cornices were continuous, and the silence of the Shu Palace at night was terrifying, and the morning and night waited for a long time and did not wait for Shang Jue's answer.

Chaoxi squinted his eyes slightly, just if he hadn't asked that question, Yan Kingdom, which is the first of the five marquis states on the surface, will certainly not be as glamorous as everyone sees, in the northernmost part of Dayin, there is also a palace cage like the Shu Palace, where there is the right to change the throne, naturally, blood and dry bones are indispensable.

As for the secrets of Yanwang Palace, she is not ignorant of them...... Chaoxi's heart turned a thousand times, but just when she thought that Shang Jue would not answer this question tonight, his voice suddenly sounded cold.

"How can a waste person manage state affairs?"
