"Lord Shi Xiao Shi has something to ask to see the prince."

"Come in." Xiao Nanshuo's voice came out steadily.

Pushing open the door, Xiao Nanshuo was sitting sideways by the window, and his snow-colored hair instantly caught my eyes.

"Is there something wrong?" Xiao Nanshuo's flat voice sounded. He didn't look back, still staring out the window at the night, as if he was thinking about something.

"Kujiu, you go out. No one is allowed to come near here without my command. Su Yunge commanded in a low voice. Before the words fell, Xiao Nanshuo jumped up with surprise on his face.

"Yes!" The empty nine heads retreated without raising their heads.

"Yunge, you ......" Xiao Nanshuo grabbed Su Yunge's arm, looked her up and down, and unexpectedly hugged her.

“…… It's back. ”

"Don't you think I'm going to come back?" Su Yunge smiled lightly and let him hug him.

Xiao Nanshuo stretched out his hand to take off Su Yunge's mask, and those deep phoenix eyes glared at me and said, "Why did it take so long, I thought you went back to your Ling Tian to be your princess of Dingbei." ”

"Something's going on." I didn't want to say much about what happened in Ling Tianguo, I just looked at him intently, as if I wanted to make up for all these days.

"How have you been doing during this time? The date of closed-door recuperation has passed, it's time to return to the Huayao court, right? Sitting down at the table with him, Su Yunge said slightly dryly.

Xiao Nanshuo nodded and said, "Our plan is going well. The manpower you gave me is amazing, and I don't know where you got it from. ”

He glanced at Su Yunge meaningfully, and saw that she had no intention of interconnecting, so he continued. "Now whether it is in the Huayao court or the people, I have created a certain momentum and influence."

"It's too early to talk about that." Su Yunge stretched out his hand and pulled him to his side, and put his chin on his shoulder with a little tiredness.

"Queen Huayao's strength is by no means just part of what she shows. But I believe I don't need to say this, you have also considered it. ”

"Tired?" Xiao Nanshuo's voice was low. "Do you want to lie down for a while?"

"No, just let me lean in." Rushing all the way from Ling Tian, Su Yunge did have very little time to rest, but the benefits of cultivating internal strength were reflected. By meditating and pranayama, her physical fitness has been maintained at a normal level. The faint tiredness at the moment has nothing to do with the body.

"Let's lie down for a while." Xiao Nanshuo stretched out his hand and dragged Su Yunge to the side of the bed, he leaned on the head of the bed, patted his leg generously, and motioned that Su Yunge could pilllow on his lap.

Su Yunge smiled slightly, raised his hand to grab his thigh and pulled him, pulling him flat to lie down. On one side, the whole person lay directly on his stomach.

"It's still so comfortable." Su Yunge knelt down on his neck and smiled lowly. The palm of his hand pressed against his waist and heart, feeling his sudden and chaotic heartbeat.

"Yunge! …… Really, do you know what you mean by that? Xiao Nanshuo exhaled softly, and instantly softened his body helplessly.

"I heard...... Are you going to marry Ning Qingqing soon? After all, Su Yunge closed his eyes with a little annoyance, only to feel that his concentration seemed to be getting worse and worse.

"Hey, have you heard about it?" Xiao Nanshuo's reaction was very calm, and there seemed to be a slight smile. This made Su Yunge's heart sink heavily.

"This marriage is Ning Qingqing, which really surprised me. But it's probably because I'm the only one of our brothers who hasn't had a relationship with a concubine. ”

Xiao Nanshuo raised his hand to hug Su Yunge's waist and laughed in a low voice: "And the reason why I agreed to this marriage is just to take the opportunity to intervene in the political core of Hua Yaoguo, Ning Qingqing is just a springboard, no one will take her seriously." However, this marriage has been of great help to me in developing my power in the Huayao Dynasty, and many courtiers who can't guess Queen Huayao's intentions all regard this arrangement of Queen Huayao as a sign of importance, after all, the one who got the most benefit from this marriage was still me who married Ning Qingqing. ”

"I just ask, will you marry her?" Su Yunge propped his hands on both sides of his head, propped up his body and looked into his eyes and said, "Even if you don't use the identity of Huayao's concubine, I can still let you control Huayao's court." So I only ask your wishes. ”

"Why not?" Xiao Nanshuo stretched out his hand to hold Su Yunge's cheek, "Yunge, you should know." I am not an ordinary person, and marriage is a responsibility that I must bear and a bargaining chip in political transactions. In comparison, this gorgeous princess is undoubtedly my best trade partner at the moment. Now that Huayaoguo's national strength is declining, marrying such a princess will not cause me any loss, but our plan has added a boost out of thin air. Yun Ge, I know that with your ability to do it with me, we don't need Hua Yaoguo's help at all, but since we have something to use, why should we work so hard? ”

Su Yunge gently held Xiao Nanshuo's fingers into his palm, and said with a seemingly bland smile: "So you think so?" ”

"You're also the daughter of a powerful person, isn't this kind of thing normal?" Xiao Nanshuo said with a slight teasing: "If you hadn't left Ling Tianguo, I'm afraid that you would have been trapped in the back house women of the Dingbei Palace." ”

"Really?" Su Yunge smiled faintly: "It turns out that it is necessary." I understand. There seemed to be an empty thump in his chest, one after the other, as if the whole person was going to be smashed to pieces.

After so much recklessness on this plane, she had forgotten that not everyone was as immune to anything as she was.

Xiao Nanshuo is the prince of Zhaoyue Kingdom, even if it is not a political marriage, he will need a princess. Having a wife and children should be a dream that every man must have, right? Even if he could put him in control of Huayao, some things would not be able to change.

"Yunge, what are you thinking?" Xiao Nanshuo saw her supporting his head in a daze, so he also struggled to sit up.

"Xiao Nanshuo, listen up." Su Yunge took a deep breath and said slowly: "Politics is like a wheelbarrow. To manipulate it, you must first learn to master the balance. The balance of forces on all sides, the balance between strategy and force, the balance between gains and losses, and even the balance between loyalty and treachery. A good politician must know how to find the balance of every event. ”

"What's wrong? Yunge, why did you suddenly tell me this......

“…… But these are just statecraft, and they are what you do after you become King Huayao. Now we need to get you up or near this seat as soon as possible. Su Yunge ignored Xiao Nanshuo's question, and just continued to talk in one go.

"At the moment you have two shortcuts. One is that you have to find a way to make your people feel connected and inseparable from you. For example, induce them into a predetermined event, so that they understand that you and they will be both prosperous and disadvantaged. Once you're done, they're all going to be buried. Then use them to roll more people into this vortex, and eventually form a huge force centered on you. However, although this method has achieved quick results, it has many sequelae. The biggest problem is that these people aren't really for you, and once you're in high office, the process of getting rid of them becomes long and painful. If one is not handled well, there will be a situation that is difficult to control. The other way is to 'replace'! I'm sure you have a group of people whose loyalty and ability have passed the test, right? Give me the list and I'll find a way to push them into different positions of power. It's just that in this way, you have to face Queen Huayao in advance. Everyone speaks with strength, and the means will inevitably become a little more intense......"

"Yunge!" Xiao Nanshuo drank a little uneasily. "You can take your time. Our plans have been going well, and the longer it drags on, the better it will be for me, right? Speaking of urgency, it should be Queen Huayao's business, right? ”

Su Yunge looked at him quietly for a moment, slowly lowered his eyes, and chuckled: "It seems that I am too anxious." "I just want to help you a little bit more before I leave.

The faint smile almost couldn't suppress the bitterness that gradually rose from his heart, and he clearly promised that he would only stay until he no longer wanted to belong to her, why did he have so much reluctance when this day really came?

It's ugly! Su Yunge raised her hand to cover her face that was smiling more and more heartily, it turned out that she would also be affected by this boring emotion.

It turned out that unconsciously, Xiao Nanshuo occupied such an important position in her heart.

"Can I kiss you?" Su Yunge smiled softly, and one hand deftly climbed onto his waist.

Xiao Nanshuo pretended to glare at her indifferently, but there was a smile in his deep pupils.

"Is it just trying to kiss me with so much nonsense? Besides, you're saying the opposite. ”

"Really?" Su Yunge chuckled, "That's right, I rarely say so much nonsense. So what would you do if I continued? ”

"Do you need to ask?" Xiao Nanshuo snorted disdainfully, clasped Su Yunge's chin, and her fiery lips and tongue swept like fire, blocking back the sigh that escaped from her throat.

The handsome face that was sweating under the light was so close that it seemed to have been integrated into the blood and bones.

Just let it go? Now that she has begun to identify with him as hers?

Between his lips and teeth, Su Yunge's reason flashed as if it was soaked in magma, and it was about to collapse. In fact, she knew very well that as long as she was willing, Ning Qingqing would not be able to reach the Mowang Mansion of Zhaoyue alive. But that woman was Xiao Nanshuo's choice after all, he had sacrificed enough for her, how could she destroy his future?

"Yunge, stop, I can't guarantee that I can bear it if you do this again." Xiao Nanshuo pulled Su Yunge away.

"Are you alright?" Su Yunge looked at him with a slight pant.

"I'm supposed to ask you that, right?" Xiao Nanshuo stared at Su Yunge quietly, his eyebrows locked deeply. "I always felt like something was wrong with you tonight, and there was a hint of sadness in your smile. Did something happen to Ling Tian's trip this time? ”

"You're thinking too much." Su Yunge stroked his white hair and said with a faint smile: "Maybe it's because of ...... It's raining. ”

"Huh?" Xiao Nanshuo listened intently, and the fine raindrops outside the window hit the window edge, making a rustling sound.

"There has never been much rain in Huayaoguo, but this year it has rained so early, which is also a beautiful scenery." Xiao Nanshuo's eyes looked out the window and said.

"Hmm." Su Yunge got up and slowly walked towards the door.

"Are you leaving?" Xiao Nanshuo looked at Su Yunge.

"There's still something at hand, you can rest." Su Yunge suddenly didn't dare to look at him, pretending to sort out the hidden bag, avoiding his sight.

"I arranged an identity for you in the mansion, and with an official identity, you don't have to hide it when you act."

"I know, usually this identity is still pretended to be Kong Jiu, if there is a need, I will use it." Su Yunge nodded and said, "Give me a copy of the list of trustworthy people I just mentioned." ”

"Do you really want to do that?" Xiao Nanshuo opened the secret compartment of the bedroom in front of Su Yunge, took out a roster and handed it to her.

"Some people's lives are predestined." Su Yunge said lightly. "I will transfer some good hands to protect your safety, in case someone jumps off the wall, don't refuse, no matter how strong you are, but two fists are hard to beat four hands. As for Ruoju, let her follow me. The next development of events was no longer something that could come in handy with her level of force. One more of him will only reduce the protection of you, and she will be in danger herself. ”

"Cloud Song...... Why did you ...... all of a sudden?"

In order to ensure the smooth transition of the Huayao regime, Su Yunge has not taken any drastic measures, and now the sudden tough attitude obviously makes Xiao Nanshuo a little uneasy.

"Don't worry, it's just that I promised someone something." Su Yunge put away the roster and said in a deep voice: "I believe you are also very clear about the current situation of Hua Yaoguo, although King Hua Yao himself does not care who becomes King Hua Yao, but for the needs of power expansion, he will most likely choose to support Luo Ke, the son of Prince Su. If you wish, you can keep an eye on the movements of the court for me, and if King Hua Yao does support Luo Ke's accession to the throne, he will have someone notify me. If you don't want to, forget it, I don't want you to be embarrassed. ”

"Did he mess with you?" Xiao Nanshuo opened his mouth in a little surprise, and then sneered: "Yunge, you also underestimate me, and Mobei's interests are not in my eyes." This guy is not good at provoking anyone, he wants to provoke you. What has it to me that you can chop him with a knife and an axe? ”

"That's good." Su Yunge couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After all, I still don't want to disappoint Xiao Nanshuo.

"It's raining outside, so I'll have someone take you out. Ruoju will go there and say, I can go back tomorrow. Xiao Nanshuo said in a low voice. The dark jade-like eyes couldn't stop flickering, and a faint uneasiness lingered inside.

"No need." Raising his hand to put on Shi Xiao's mask, Su Yunge pushed open the door and walked out.

"Yunge!" Walking less than five meters, he heard Xiao Nanshuo's slightly anxious voice. Su Yunge stopped his already heavy footsteps and turned around to look. Xiao Nanshuo leaned lightly against the door, the orange light shining on his snow-like hair, reflecting a soft golden light.

"It's okay, I just suddenly feel that this garden is so dark, so dark that it looks like you're going to disappear into the darkness." Shaking his head, Xiao Nanshuo said casually.

Su Yunge smiled, extremely difficult.

I took out the brocade box that I almost forgot from my arms and threw it over, "I made this little thing myself, it's not worth anything, if you don't dislike it, I'll give it to you." "Maybe one day in the future, when he has forgotten her, this thing that he has carved for him with his heart will remain in her memory.

"What is it?" Xiao Nanshuo looked at Su Yunge quietly and asked. The pure black pupils appear clear and soft under the cover of the rain.

Su Yunge turned to leave, his low voice echoing in the rain.

"I call it 'Streamer'!"

Rejected Kujiu's request to send her. After returning the mask to him, Su Yunge didn't use any light skills, and left Xiao Nanshuo's mansion step by step in the dense rain. Perhaps those who say she is cold-blooded, cruel, and devoid of human feelings are absolutely right. Otherwise, why didn't she feel heartache when she left like this? The piece of flesh in his chest, which should have been pulsating, seemed to suddenly disappear into the mist.

Her mind was also blank, and all she could feel was a path of numbness.

The night in the south was silent, and the roads were deserted, save for one or two hungry wild dogs, shivering under the eaves of the roadside shops. Of course, in the rain that connected the heavens and the earth, there was also me who wandered aimlessly like a wild dog.

Unconsciously, Su Yunge had returned to the residence of the Moon Invitation Palace. Slowly walking towards his courtyard, I want to taste the feeling of the rain washing over my body. However, when Fang entered the courtyard, she saw a tall figure who seemed to have the same hobby as her, standing like a sculpture in the rain. The blue pupils flickered with a confused expression, and he quietly watched Su Yunge approach step by step.

"Open your mouth!" Su Yunge walked up to him and raised his hand to clasp his chin. Lan Yu's eyes dimmed, and his slightly pale lips slowly opened.

Su Yunge flicked her fingertips and flicked one of the cold medicine into his mouth, she let go of her hand and ordered calmly: "Come in with me." ”

Pushing the door open and walking inside, he took out two sets of dry clothes from the cabinet, and threw one of them to Blue Feather along with the cloth towel.

"No need, as long as the real qi is running, the clothes will dry quickly." Lan Yu hesitated for a moment and put the dry clothes on the table.

"Less nonsense, you do it as an order." Su Yunge was too lazy to say, tore off his wet clothes a few times, and casually wiped two handfuls with a dry cloth and hastily put the dry clothes on.

Turning around, he found that Lan Yu was still standing in place, his stunned gaze resting on her slightly open placket.

Looking at his eyes, it turned out that there were still a few light red kiss marks on his neck, which were particularly obvious on the smooth skin. Only then did she remember that she had just kissed Xiao Nanshuo because of her emotion, and completely forgot that her emotions would affect Lan Yu.

"Do you want me to change it for you myself?" Su Yunge opened his mouth lightly, and had no intention of apologizing.

“…… No. Lan Yu gritted his teeth and raised his hand to untie his clothes.

In order not to embarrass him, Su Yunge copied a bottle of wine and walked to the window. After a while, there was the sound of Lan Yu's footsteps behind him.

"Martial arts are not practiced to be ironed. If you can, don't waste your body casually. Su Yunge said lightly.

"Are you qualified to speak of me?" A slight mocking voice sounded in his ears. Su Yunge turned his head suddenly, and his cold gaze swept towards him with a slightly tyrannical aura. Lan Yu's blue eyes met her gaze clearly and calmly, and the anger that suddenly surged out of Su Yunge's heart couldn't help but dissipate a little. She closed her eyes slowly, and when she opened them again, she was as calm as ever.

"Is that all you have to say?"

Lan Yu stared at Su Yunge for a moment, lowered his eyes slightly, and said respectfully: "Someone went to the Xuanji Building with your finger knife and asked the Xuanbu to send you two letters. Do you want to watch it now? ”

Rong Qianhiro's news? Su Yunge was slightly surprised. The way to leave a connection was just a matter of interest, and she didn't think that Yung Qianhiro had the need to contact her.

"Bring it." Turning around, Su Yunge sighed softly.

Lan Yu handed over two letterheads wrapped in oiled paper, and Su Yunge took them and saw that the thicker one was actually written by Ruchen. Ah Da Ruchen's precise and well-organized choice of words, without too much flashy rhetoric, is exactly the way I have always asked for official writing. The letter gave a detailed account of Ling Tianguo's current national conditions, national policies, and brief arrangements for the future, which looked more like a policy address.

frowned slightly, and then opened the one written by Rong Qianxun. This made her even more confused. There are only three words in the letter: I am waiting for you!

Waiting for her? What are you waiting for her? She no longer misses the entire Ling Heavenly Kingdom, is there still a place where she is needed? Hold the letterhead in your palm and shake it to pieces. All kinds of thoughts in my mind kept churning, and I couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Is there anything I need to do?" Lan Yu said with a little concern.

Su Yunge was silent for a moment, trying to think about Hua Yaoguo's situation, trying to squeeze Rong Qianxun's shadow out of her mind.

"Absolutely." Su Yunge slowly spoke, "It's so much that you can't imagine." ”

took out the roster that Xiao Nanshuo gave her from his arms, handed it to Lan Yu and said, "Investigate all the people on the roster, I want to know if they have enough loyalty to Xiao Nanshuo, and where their abilities are, and how many?" If loyalty is okay, you will do whatever it takes to push them to the center of power in Huayao Kingdom according to their ability, and I will let them hold up the entire power of Huayao Kingdom. Can it be done? ”

"By any means...... Is it? Lan Yu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Don't worry about the interests of the Moon Palace, I never make loss-making transactions. Although the initial investment is large, the profit is also considerable. Although she doesn't care about power and wealth, she will never wronged her brothers.

"I'm not worried about that." Lan Yu shook his head and said, "Your order is absolute. I'm just worried that if the action goes too far, the political turmoil in Huayao Kingdom will cause the other three countries to take advantage of it, and then I'm afraid it will be another four-nation war. ”

"So what if there are some minor problems within the other three countries at the same time?" Su Yunge slowly pulled away a cold smile.

"You mean ......?" Lan Yu raised his blue pupils with a sense of understanding, and looked straight into Su Yunge's eyes.

Su Yunge smiled and didn't answer, put his hands around his chest and said with a little seriousness: "Don't be too direct when doing things, even if you want to use the power of the Nightmare Department, you must ensure that someone will pay for it." We're still businessmen, aren't we? ”

The shallow smile was mixed with a little cruelty and cunning, and Su Yunge greeted the blue light in his eyes and said indifferently: "Let me see your skills, my beautiful blue-eyed demon." ”

War is a very troublesome matter, so it is not Su Yunge's purpose. But if war does break out, then war. The rational use of war is something that every king should understand. As long as she grasps the scale of intervention, she will get greater benefits from being on the verge of war.
