Han Zhen, the prince of Beiwu, got out of the carriage, squinted his eyes slightly, raised his hand to cover the strong sunlight, looked at the plaque on the gate, and read, "Qiongxiangyuan? Then he asked Naka, who was next to him, "This sake shop has been open in Kyoto for many years, right?" ”

Ah Zhong nodded, "It's been five years." ”

Han Zhen's eyes became deep, "Five years? I thought that it had been in existence for many years, and in a few years it had risen to become a unique sake restaurant in Kyoto, surpassing those century-old shops, not simple, the owner of this shop seems to have some skills, do you know who the boss behind him is? ”

Ah Zhong shook his head.

"Don't you have acquaintances in you?" Han Zhen turned his head to look at him.

Ah Zhong's mouth twitched, "Their shopkeeper said that the boss is very low-key, he doesn't like to show his head, and he rarely appears in the store. ”

"It's very hands-off." Han Zhen hugged his chest and said.

"Businessmen, especially big businessmen, have big families and big businesses, and it is difficult for them to bow down to everything." Ah Zhong raised his eyes to look at his master, leaned closer and said, "However, I heard that it seems that their boss has recently brought his family to the store, if you are interested in him, I can talk to their shopkeeper and see if I can ......make an appointment."

The prince glanced at Qiong Xiangyuan again and sighed, "Forget it, you have too close contacts with businessmen, and you have to tell the truth again, you have that kung fu, why don't you find a way to find someone quickly?" ”

Ah Zhong was silent, his master's soul was really taken away by that woman, and after being captured by someone else's trap, he still wanted to find someone, this was the first time he had seen his master so concerned about a woman.

The others remained outside, and the master and servant entered the gate.

Han Zhen glanced around, whether it was upstairs or downstairs, there were almost no vacant seats, whether it was drinking tea or playing chess, it was very quiet, without the noise and noise of other shops.

The two entered the door, and soon saw the big shopkeeper come forward, smiling and greeting, "Welcome, welcome." ”

Ah Zhong hurriedly introduced, "The big shopkeeper, this is my master, I want to visit my son." ”

Hurry up and salute, "Rare guest, rare guest, Childe is already in the box, please come with me." ”

Ah Zhong arched his hand, "Thank you for the big shopkeeper." ”

He blinked, waved his hands, and had an expression of his own, "It's all old acquaintances, it should be." ”

Speaking of this, he glanced around, leaned into Ah Zhong's ear, and whispered, "The people from the princess's mansion have also come early, but I pushed you behind, and the rest depends on you, I will help you if I can, take advantage of it." ”

Ah Zhong nodded gratefully, "Thank you, if there is any need for the big shopkeeper in the future, I will do my best and never refuse." ”

He smiled and patted him on the shoulder affectionately, "Don't be so polite, just make a gesture, I'm embarrassed when you say that." ”

Ah Zhong said, "The affection of the big shopkeeper, I, Ah Zhong, must keep it in my heart." ”

Han Zhen in the back saw the honest appearance of his subordinates, and he didn't know what to say, looking at the shrewd face of the big shopkeeper, he must be a long-sleeved waving, seeing people talking about people, and talking about ghosts, it is estimated that he is not even conscious of being sold by others.

?“ That's it, you two go in, and I'll be here." He led them to a private room, then took his leave, and went downstairs.

Ah Zhong stepped forward and knocked on the door, the door was opened by a man, from the momentum he exuded, it can be seen that the kung fu is not bad, I have heard that Xunyang Gongzi has many capable people, and today I saw that it was really the case.

The man asked, "Who are you?" ”

Ah Zhong handed over the post, "This is my master, who came to see Mr. as promised." ”

The man took the post and looked at it, then opened the door and made a gesture of please, "Childe is already waiting, please come in." ”

Ah Zhong stepped back and let his master walk in front.

Han Zhen entered the private room and found that the space in the room was very large, very spacious, and the furnishings were also very simple and elegant, especially the pot of bamboo placed against the wall, which was even more fresh and refined, but when he approached the inside, he couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately felt in his mind that compared to the bamboo, this person was more fresh and refined, and he was not stained with dust.

What a handsome and handsome person!

When the man who led them in introduced that this was his master Xun Yang Gongzi, Han Zhen was in a trance for a moment, in his imagination, this person should be that kind of deep and scheming person, and he never expected to be such a calm and breezy person.

"Your Highness, please be seated." The man's voice was as pleasant as his countenance.

Han Zhen came back to his senses, lifted his robe and sat down across from him.

When the man who had brought them in had finished serving his tea, he retreated behind his master.

The prince raised his cup and took a sip of tea, then put it down, "Please forgive me for taking the liberty of disturbing Gongzi's Qingxiu." ”

Xun Yang smiled lightly and stared at him, "It's okay, I don't know what important things Your Highness is here?" ”

The prince put his hands on his legs on both sides and said, "I don't like to go around the bend, so I'll get straight to the point, I've heard that Gongzi is amazingly talented, and I want to give advice to you today." ”

When the prince said this, Ah Zhong kept giving him a look next to him, probably saying in his heart what to ask, you are obviously testing people, aren't you pushing others out, most of the literati have a strange temper, very arrogant, you don't hurry up and say good things and promise to invite people, you also have a high profile to test people, people will go with you, hey, I knew this, he didn't let his master come, he just came alone, this is completely over.

Xunyang said very cultivatedly, "Your Highness has a high view, you can't talk about advice, Your Highness still asks, if you know it, you must tell you the details." ”

The prince nodded, and the next thing he asked was really blunt, "Childe thinks that in a few years, whose world is Beiwu?" ”

Xun Yang smiled, "Your Highness asked this question, Your Highness is the prince of the country, and the orthodoxy of blood is naturally Your Highness." ”

Hearing this answer, not only Han Zhen was not satisfied, but even Ah Zhong was stunned, not knowing what the situation was now, isn't this the same as not saying it?

I thought he would have something amazing, but now it's good, the answer is bland, philistine, and he didn't answer the point at all.

The master of his family, who was already hopeless, had little sincerity in the future, and after a few superficial chats, he put down the gift and left.

As soon as the two of them left, as soon as the door closed, Bao Chun and Rong Zheng walked out of the room.

Baochun asked Xunyang puzzled, "He came to the door in person, why didn't the prince show himself well, but said such mediocre words, then the prince thinks that you have a false name, how can he invite you?" ”

Xun Yang smiled, "If I talk about it as soon as we meet, he knows that I am talented, and then he must be invited, but there are some things, if they are easy to get, the more they don't know how to cherish them." ”

Bao Chun sighed and suddenly realized.

Rong Zheng snorted disdainfully, "There are so many flowery intestines, and I am not too tired, so I pretend to be high." ”

Xunyang just smiled.

Baochun said worriedly, "In case, the prince decides that you are a mediocre talent and will never come again, won't that qiē plan be ruined?" ”

Xun Yang was very sure, "No, he will understand what I said, what I just said is not rough." ”

Han Zhen walked out of the private room door, and couldn't help but snort, "This is what you said about great talent, what kind of talent, everyone knows, mediocre talent is almost the same, in vain, it's all you, wasting His Highness's time in vain......"

The voice stopped abruptly, because when he was going downstairs, he accidentally ran into Han Xiao who was going upstairs, and when he looked back, he was followed by a retinue, all holding gifts.

"Big brother, what are you...... Oh, look at me, do you need to ask? I must have come to visit Xunyang Gongzi, but looking at your expression, it doesn't seem to be very smooth? Han Xiao's schadenfreude was undisguised.

In fact, there is no need to hide the relationship between the two, as long as the people of Beiwu know that these two people are not in harmony, if anyone sues you, these two brothers and sisters love each other, it must be red rain in the sky.

Because the contradiction between the two is forever irreconcilable.

First of all, the Tiger Clan and the Eagle Clan standing behind them have always been rivals in the competition for the Northern Aconitum Tribe.

Secondly, the prince was born in the queen mother of the Tiger Clan, and Han Xiao's mother from the Eagle Clan has been fighting in the palace for many years, and then, the prince's mother died, and Han Xiao's mother is now dominating the harem.

In the end, Han Xiao's ambitions are huge, and he has always wanted to overthrow the crown prince and become the empress of Beiwu.

How can these two be friendly, you say? In the palace, there is no need to hide it, because the emperor knows it.

The prince glanced at her and said, "It's not going well, I hope you can do what you want." ”

Han Xiao stroked her wrist, the little green snake on her wrist poked out her head, and swallowed the letter to Han Zhen, she said, "Of course, from childhood to adulthood, as long as it is what I want, it will be achieved in the end." ”

After speaking, he went up the stairs and staggered past, and the gaze cast by the Korean Han Zhen was full of provocation and inevitable.

After the person left, Ah Zhong was angry enough, "She is becoming less and less interested in you now." ”

The prince didn't say anything, urging him, "Let's go." ”

Ah Zhong chased after him, "Master, just leave?" ”

"And what else do you want?" Han Zhen asked him rhetorically.

"But if you are invited by the princess......," said Ah Zhong.

"If you invite it, please go, are there still few people like that in the house? What we want to invite is a great talent, a great sage, he? I'll just forget it. ”

Ah Zhong said, "Isn't it a bit extreme to see if a person is talented, or let's meet again another day?" Dig deeper? ”

"See also? You're crazy, don't see, go home. The prince got into the carriage.

As for Han Xiao being led into the private room, she first presented a gift, and then said hello, her figure was low enough, with her usual arrogance, she really gave Xunyang enough face, but it can also be seen from this that she likes Xunyang Gongzi very much.

After the greetings, she expressed the purpose of her visit this time and wanted to ask him to give her advice.

Xun Yang didn't refuse in a panic, but picked up the cup, shook the green tea leaves in the cup, and asked casually, "What does the princess want me to come up with?" If it's beyond your ability, there's nothing you can do to help. ”

There was firmness in Han Xiao's eyes, "I want Childe to help me sit in that position, will Childe think that I am not self-sufficient?" ”

Xun Yang sighed, and didn't show too much surprise, "Beiwu has a history of empresses, it's not surprising, besides, the Eagle Clan has respected women for generations, and the patriarch has always been a woman, which is understandable, but with the princess's current form, without me, she also has the strength to win that position, without my help." ”

Han Xiao then said, "Beiwu has always had the ambition to unify the world, and the prince has great talents, if he comes to help me, maybe he will be able to fulfill the common wish of the royal family of Beiwu for several generations, and Mr. can also apply what he has learned." ”

Xunyang said, "The princess has this ambition, she can be called a strange woman in the world, but she is going to disappoint the princess, with all due respect, according to the analysis below, although the countries have their own contradictions, but generally speaking, they are quite stable, and it is not yet the time for unification, and according to my estimates, it may not appear in a few decades." ”

Han Xiao was stunned for a moment, his face was very disappointed, and he retorted, "Beiwu is already the strongest country in the surrounding area, how can it not be?" The North Ukrainian army drove out, and no country could resist. ”

Xun Yang said, "That's true, but if the surrounding countries unite to deal with Beiwu in turn, do you think Beiwu still has the strength to deal with their alliance?" ”

Han Xiao's face was shocked.

Xunyang said, "It's Beiwu who will destroy Miè at that time, so, princess, please go back." ”

Although Han Xiao was unwilling, she could only say goodbye, "Then I'll come to visit Gongzi next time." ”

In the Xunyang room, Bao Chun sighed, "This woman not only wants to be the empress, but also wants to dominate the world, why do you think she has so much ambition?" ”

Rong Zheng said, "Why are you looking at me? How do I know? ”

Baochun said, "If you don't know, you don't know, is it necessary to be so excited?" I didn't say what you had to do with her. ”

Rong Zheng fried his hair, "What can I have with her?" ”

Baochun said, "It's nothing that you are so anxious to get rid of, besides, why is it nothing, last time she tried her best to take you to Beiwu, and now that you are here in Beiwu, if she knows, I don't know how to be happy." ”

Rong Zheng glared, "You're not done yet, shut up and hurry up." Picked up a snack and gagged her daughter-in-law's mouth.

Baochun swallowed his snack and said with a smile, "I know you're nothing, but you can also see that people are very interested in you, and your ambitions are so big that the whole world, let alone a person, you must have managed to get the idea, and you feel that you escaped from the palm of her hand." ”

Rong Zheng snorted disdainfully, "There is no shortage of ambitious people in this world, ambition is not necessarily a bad thing, but ambition is far beyond one's ability, that is, self-righteous people who don't know whether to live or die." ”

Xunyang said, "She didn't seem to listen to what I just said. ”

Rong Zheng said, "Her mind is all occupied by these, so it's strange that she will listen to it." ”

Baochun said, "Those who insist on going their own way will pay a price." ”

Xunyang sighed, "She is like this, she has nothing to do with her mother, and the Eagle Clan, the patriarch of the Eagle Clan is her mother, and it will be her in the future, you don't have to think about it, she knows that her education since she was a child is how to revitalize the Eagle Clan, how to make the Eagle Clan the strongest tribe, and even develop to the point that she wants the entire Beiwu, and even the ...... of unification."

Bao Chun said, "Yes,* is a terrible thing, and if it is not restrained, it will expand more and more until it devours your whole soul and becomes its slave and is controlled by it. ”

At this time, someone knocked on the door, Guo Kuang went to open the door, and saw that it was good.

Hao Yu walked in, and Rong Zheng asked him, "Then the princess is gone?" ”

He sat down and said, "Just as I was about to talk about this, the woman went out, but did not leave, but asked for a tearoom next door." ”

Baochun glanced at Xunyang, "It seems that he hasn't given up yet." ”

Rong Zheng said, "If it was so easy to die, there would not be so much ambition." ”

"The strange thing is that she stayed in there for a short time before leaving, and left in a hurry. ”

"What happened to the princess's mansion?" Guo Kuang guessed.

"It's not like a bad thing, it's like you've discovered something amazing, as if it can bring surprises." ”

"She was pleasantly surprised? Then some people are going to be unlucky. Bao Chun touched his chin.

Everyone present couldn't help but nod.

Rong Zheng looked at him, "What did the person in charge of listening hear?" ”

"I collected it myself in the secret room, and soon after she came in, a man found it, with a very small voice and very experienced, and had ears against the partition wall, but from the shape of his mouth, I could roughly guess that they seemed to have found a person, what important evidence that person was holding, who could bring down someone, and most importantly, the woman asked where the others were, and the man said that he had been strictly guarded, and no one could touch him." ”

Several people pondered.

Wondered, "The thorn in this woman's side is the crown prince Han Zhen, do you think she is targeting the prince?" ”

The three of them quickly looked at each other and thought of something at the same time.

Baochun stood up suddenly, "It's not good, Bacheng is in control of the matter that the prince has an agreement with us." ”

Xun Yang said, "It's not enough to grasp it, at most, it is to know that the prince was captured by us, and then released it." ”

Rong Zheng said, "What's the difference, three-year-old children know that they must have promised something when they were released, and this person can't stay." ”

Baochun also knew that this person couldn't stay, "Otherwise, once the prince is confessed, the Darong border will be dark again." ”

Well, you don't have to say, "I'll send someone to find out now." ”

Rong Zheng said, "After you find out, don't act rashly first. ”

He said, "Yes." "Leave the room.

Baochun said, "We must get rid of that person before she enters the palace." ”

Xun Yang said cautiously, "The princess's mansion is very well defended, and there are strange poisons, besides, such an important witness will definitely be seconded by someone from the national teacher to help guard it, which is dangerous." ”

Baochun said, "Even if it is the Longtan Tiger's Den, you have to break into it." ”
