Xu Zhilan took a sip of tea in embarrassment, his brain teaser turned sharply, and said: "So, you framed Qin Yougui to force General Peng to oppose the border pass of the Western Regions, and then wave the army to attack?" Or after General Qin's death, let the officers of General Lu be reinstated and continue to cooperate with you? ”

Alice shook her head, stared at Xu Zhilan's eyes with a pair of beautiful blue eyes, and said: "Now, the name of King Yangtao is ranked in the jade book of the Dahua royal family, if the three princesses die, I think it should not be difficult to ascend to the throne of Emperor Dahua with the ability of King Yangtao." ”

Xu Zhilan fooled Lan Keqing like this before, so when he heard Alice's words, his face didn't rise at all, and he deliberately sighed lightly, and then said: "Miss Alice, if you say such a rebellious thing in front of this king, you are not afraid that this king will kill you?" Even if you are the lord of the county, this king will kill you, and at most lead troops to fight you in the Western Regions. For the king, even if you can't destroy your Western Regions Kingdom, it is still quite easy to extend the territory of Dahua for hundreds of miles. ”

Although the words were very harsh, Xu Zhilan didn't have any anger on his face, and he had to deal with Alice's expression.

Lan Keqing was very excited when she heard this, and secretly said that with the help of the Western Regions, Xu Zhilan's plan had a better chance of winning.

Alice smiled slightly and said, "Doesn't King Yangtao want to be the lord of the world?" ”

"This king doesn't want to be the lord of the world, but he can be the lord of Yangtao County, and this king is satisfied! However, Miss Alice came all the way to my Yangtao County and didn't let you finish her words, which seems too unkind! ”

Hearing this, Alice knew that Xu Zhilan was tempted, or she had already had this heart, she smiled and said: "The matter of killing the princess is not done by King Yangtao, Alice can do it for her, but after the matter is completed, Alice needs Pingzhou District, where the Western Regions Pass is located." ”

Xu Zhilan was silent for a while, and said: "The Twelve Districts of Dahua, you ask for a district of land in the Western Regions, but you are not greedy. However, the king is friendly with the princesses, and it is easy to get close to them! If it is only to get rid of the three princesses, this king can be said to be able to do it without much effort! ”

"King Yangtao can indeed do it, but it will inevitably leave hidden dangers. If Alice does it, it will not affect the king of Yangtao at all, even if Alice is defeated, the king of Yangtao is still the king of Yangtao, and he can enjoy the taxes of the ten counties of Yangtao County for generations, which is one of them; The second, and most important point, is that my father holds the handle of General Lu. And General Lu is now in charge of the northern camp of the forbidden army. If there is someone to stop King Yangtao when he ascends the throne, and there is the support of General Lu's northern camp, others will not be able to make big waves. ”

Xu Zhilan shook his head and said, "There are four battalions in the forbidden army, and only one battalion is for my use, which is not enough!" ”

"If there is another person with 100,000 soldiers and horses, plus 100,000 troops from the Guiwang Department of the Western Regions to help, the soldiers and horses of Yangtao County, and the soldiers and horses of the Yangtao grassland, this should be about the same, right?" Alice said with a smile.

Xu Zhilan stood up, pretended to hesitate, walked back and forth in the living room a few times, glanced at Alice from time to time, and then looked at Lan Keqing and Xiang'er, who were about to move.

"There is no basis for what you say, this king needs you to show some sincerity!"

"I wonder what sincerity King Yang Tao needs Alice to make?"

"Before this king returned to Yangtao County this time, he used the method of agitation to make an appointment with the three princesses. The king only brought 10 retinues back to Yangtao County; They each came with 20 retinues. This king goes first, but it is stipulated that the three of them must set foot in our Yangtao County on the tenth day, and they must not accept the help of the government or post station. According to the time, there will be two more days before they will enter my Yangtao County. ”

Alice understood what Xu Zhilan meant, got up and said, "This matter is in a hurry, I have to go back and discuss it with my brother!" ”

"Wait, that's one thing; Second, no matter what the outcome of your battle is, if you want to cooperate with this king, this king needs a proof of General Lu's friendship with your Western Regions. This is also to prevent this king from being destroyed by General Lu before he ascends the throne in the future! When the time comes, you will take 200,000 soldiers and horses to Jinling, and this king will lose a lot! ”

Seeing Alice's hesitation, Xu Zhilan said: "Anyway, if General Lu has a handle in your hands, there must be more than one!" ”

"It's a deal!" Alice said yes!

"Lan Qing, send off guests for this king, Miss Alice came to the palace, don't let Vice General Luo know, violators of the order, beheaded!" Xu Zhilan commanded.

Lan Keqing sent Alice to the gate of the palace and turned around, and did not arrange for anyone to follow Alice.

Originally, Xu Zhilan speculated that Alice was the person of Xu Zhiyuan, but now it is found that Alice is actually the daughter of King Gui of the Western Regions, which is not easy to judge. Maybe Alice and O no Yuan are in a partnership; Or maybe there is no relationship between the two at all.

Lan Keqing saw Xu Zhilan walking around the living room with a cup of tea, she stepped forward and asked, "King Yangtao, how sure do you think Alice is to kill the three princesses?" ”

Xu Zhilan smiled and said, "This king finds that you are becoming less and less brainy, it doesn't matter, just help this king protect the palace!" ”

Lan Keqing smiled awkwardly, and listened to Xu Zhilan continued: "In a hurry, Alice was wrong to kill one princess, and it is impossible to kill all three princesses. Even if she had the strength, I'm afraid she wouldn't do it. After all, if she wants to cooperate with this king, she must leave at least one princess to delay the time and let this king prepare for usurpation. Unless ......"

"Unless what?" Lan Keqing asked.

Xu Zhilan waved his hand and said, "No unless, she doesn't have this opportunity at all." ”

Ignoring Lan Keqing, Xu Zhilan thought to herself: Unless Alice and Xu Zhiyuan are in a cooperative relationship, if she has the strength, she will definitely wipe out all three princesses at one time and help Xu Zhiyuan ascend to the throne.

"Luo Shixun and Zhao Yunchu went to Yangtao County as officials, and sent someone to invite the two of them and the ministers to the palace, everyone have a drink and celebrate!"

After Xu Zhilan finished speaking, he went back to the room to accompany Xi'er'er, and the two continued to discuss how to explain after people found out that Xi'er'er was pregnant. In short, no matter how you interpret it, it's all stealing people and raising men! This is really too aggrieved Xi'er, Xu Zhilan is very unhappy in his heart, but he is helpless.

Alice noticed that Xu Zhilan had not arranged for someone to follow her, and she further believed that Xu Zhilan was not loyal to the Dahua Dynasty. She walked into an inn, went out through the back door wearing a weft hat, turned a few streets, and entered the Tianzi No. 2 room of the Wanli Inn.

Xu Zhiyuan was playing chess with the strategist Su Rui, and when he saw Alice returning, he hurriedly threw away the chess pieces in his hand and looked at her inquiringly.

Alice's brother Alendi was a little anxious, and he asked, "How is it?" ”

Xiao Jinfeng shook the paper fan in a chic manner, not looking at it in a hurry, but after a closer look, the roots of his ears moved, obviously listening attentively.

"Prince Jianyuan, this time we made another wrong move, of course, if we don't make this move, everyone will not worry! Xu Zhilan is the Orchid Empress, and it seems that she is already preparing to usurp the throne. Alice's tone was a little frustrated.
