Hearing Cheng Jinzhi suddenly mention that the prince went to Dufeng Pass to negotiate peace with the Nanchu side, Princess Yuanxi's eyes flashed, and the look of surprise in her eyes was even worse, as if she didn't expect her to ask such a question. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Of course, I know about this, because the person who consulted with your Royal Highness the Crown Prince at that time was my imperial brother. ”

Receiving the affirmative answer from Princess Yuanxi, Cheng Jinzhi couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart, and then said with a suspicious face: "Does the princess mean His Royal Highness King Heng who came with him this time?"

"That's right, it was an eventful autumn back then, and our Dachu coincided with natural disasters, internal and external troubles, and it was the time to rest and rectify. Therefore, my imperial brother was ordered by my father to take 10,000 iron cavalry to garrison the crossing of the wind pass, so as to avoid a sneak attack by villains, in case of emergency. ”

When Princess Yuanxi said the last half of the sentence, she deliberately glanced at Cheng Jinzhi with a strange look, put her hands behind her back and took two steps forward.

"I thought that there would inevitably be a war at that time, but then I heard that your Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly came to ask for peace sincerely, and my father was a man who cared about the world, and he didn't want the two countries to be full of gunsmoke. ”

"If you don't get some benefits, how can you be willing to slap your ass and leave, what do you have the world in mind, it's really nice to say. ”

Cheng Jinzhi muttered silently, then tightened his cheeks, and said tentatively: "By the way, I heard... At that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seemed to have sent a generous gift to your country?"

I thought that Princess Yuanxi would continue to answer, but she was a sharp-minded person, and this matter was related to the safety of the two countries, seeing that Cheng Jinzhi had been inquiring into the ins and outs of this matter, she couldn't help but be suspicious, but she didn't dare to reveal too much, so she deliberately pretended to be very puzzled.

"My sister suddenly asked about this old matter, I don't know what the purpose is, what is the connection between this matter and the safety of His Royal Highness King Yan?"

Looking at Princess Yuanxi's questioning eyes, Cheng Jinzhi knew that she was suspecting that her purpose was impure and had bad intentions, so she couldn't help but smile coldly.

In fact, from Cheng Jinzhi's standpoint, she didn't want Princess Yuanxi, who was from Chu, to know too much about the ins and outs of this "disaster relief official silver case".

In her opinion, since the crown prince was able to persuade Southern Chu to withdraw his troops in front of Yuan Peng, many of the details were still unclear, and it was not impossible that he had an unknown relationship with the Chu people.

After all, without getting Princess Yuanxi's affirmative answer about that batch of official silver, she rashly revealed too much, and if she was not careful, it would only bring unnecessary hidden dangers to her side.

"Does the princess think that when I ask these things, I have some conspiracy against your country?" Cheng Jinzhi raised his eyes, his eyebrows moved slightly, "I'm just a deep lady, this family is short, and the trivial matters of the lintel may still be able to interfere, but this major event in the world, the glory of the family and the country, sometimes even thousands of troops and horses are difficult to shake, how can a little woman like me control it?"

"My sister misunderstood, my sister didn't have this intention, and in the eyes of my sister, my sister was not just an ordinary deep woman, that day at the gate of the city, above the main hall, my sister had a blockbuster demeanor, and everyone had been taught. ”

The corners of Princess Yuanxi's eyes were piled up with laugh lines, but there was a layer of meaningful gloom floating in her eyes, but before Cheng Jinzhi could answer this sentence, she had already turned her face and continued: "It's just that I heard my sister talk about the safety of His Royal Highness King Yan, and I couldn't help but feel worried, so I want to know the reason quickly, so I can make suggestions with my sister." ”

However, Cheng Jinzhi just said seriously: "If the princess really wants to help His Royal Highness, I hope to be able to answer my question truthfully." ”

"It's not that I don't want to answer, it's just that my sister's question is a little funny. ”

Princess Yuanxi pretended to be calm and hooked the corners of her mouth, and there was a hidden worry between her eyebrows.

"The prince is the prince of the Great Zhou, the person you sent out, what did he talk to us, you should all know the reason, I was not in the barracks at the time, why did you come to ask me?"

Seeing that Princess Yuanxi deliberately avoided this question several times, Cheng Jinzhi became more and more sure in his heart, there must be something wrong with this, so he pushed the boat along the way and said: "I think the princess should also have some understanding of the relationship between the prince and His Royal Highness in the past few days in the palace, right?

"What did you say?"

Princess Yuanxi's eyes darkened, her eyes turned quickly, and her mouth began to loosen.

"I don't know what you're referring to by those inappropriate means. But I can tell you very clearly that we Chu people have always done things above board, and we never like to play any intrigues behind our backs......"

"The princess has a straightforward temperament, she shouldn't be the kind of person who likes to beat around the bush, I just want to know, did the prince prepare a generous gift for you back then?"

Seeing that Princess Yuanxi was still deliberately trying to trick herself, Cheng Jinzhi had no patience to deal with her here, and after taking a deep breath, he blurted out directly: "For example, gold and silver treasures?"

As soon as the words fell, she clearly saw Princess Yuanxi's eyes flickering twice very quickly, but just as she wanted to hide it, she saw Cheng Jinzhi nodding thoughtfully and said, "It seems... Sure enough, there was. ”

"So what?" Princess Yuanxi's expression was sharp, and her eyes were full of suspicion, "This matter is well known to everyone in my Great Chu, if it weren't for the fact that when I came to make peace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally sent someone to send a secret letter to my imperial brother, telling him not to forget the agreement when he talked about peace, and not to mention the events of the year in front of others, I have nothing to hide at this moment." ”

"Promise?" Cheng Jinzhi frowned and thought for a moment, suddenly as if he had thought of something, his eyes lit up, "Wait, the princess is saying, there is still a letter?"

Seeing her nodding hesitantly, Cheng Jinzhi lowered his shoulders and breathed a sigh of relief, and he couldn't help but feel a long-lost joy in his heart.

If it is really as Princess Yuanxi said, the prince once wrote a letter to Yuan Peng, and Yuan Peng is in the Great Zhou at the moment, then this letter in front of Emperor Zhou is solid evidence.

The prince probably couldn't have imagined that his careful premeditation to steal the official money back then would be confirmed by Cheng Jinzhi's crooked speculation.

Now the next key depends on whether Princess Yuanxi is willing to do this "assist" and make a modest contribution to the "white horse lover" she has been obsessed with for many years.
