After Li Yuanxiao heard what Yan Zixi said, the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, but he just stood there and smiled faintly, unable to see what he meant.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, didn't you hear what this princess said to you?" Yan Zixi was a little impatient, and asked urgingly.

Li Yuanxiao walked to a vase, picked a delicate red rose inserted in the vase, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it gently, and then replied, "Princess Xiao, do you want to be a lobbyist?" If you're trying to be a lobbyist, you're in the wrong place. ”

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, I don't want to be a lobbyist, I'm just trying to help you analyze the current situation realistically. Now the national strength of the Great Xiao is far above the Northern Liang, even if the Northern Liang and your Yuanxia form an alliance, it is not the opponent of the Great Xiao at all, and it will be disintegrated by the Great Xiao in the end, so I want to show His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a clear way! Yan Zixi said to Li Yuanxiao without humility or arrogance.

When Li Yuanxiao heard this, he burst out laughing, and his eyes stared deeply at Yan Zixi in front of him, "Princess Xiao, do you think you can hide it from this prince?" Now that the Great Xiao country is strong on the outside, it has already faced a situation of collapse internally, and your old emperor is greedy for medicine stones, and he has already been terminally ill and will die soon. The second prince is vying for power and power, intending to eradicate dissidents, and your family's Xiao Wang Ye is the first, do you think I don't know any of this? ”

When Yan Zixi heard Li Yuanxiao's words, she couldn't help but gasp. This Li Yuanxiao's intelligence is really terrifying, he knows the situation in Da Xiao's country well, and even the palace battles are in his hands, where has this Pintang's intelligence network penetrated?

If he can successfully escape from Ascension this time, Yan Zixi must explain this matter to Xiao Jingcong, let him return to the capital for a big investigation, and must cut off Li Yuanxiao's intelligence network, otherwise every move will be monitored under his nose, and sooner or later there will be trouble.

Of course, it is still unknown whether he can escape at the moment, what Yan Zixi can do is to try his best to persuade Li Yuanxiao to turn against him, but if he can't, he must also get more information from his mouth, at least some useful information, such as where this is and how to contact the outside world.

Thinking of this, Yan Zixi's eyes rolled slightly, trying to maintain her composure, and replied with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really knows a lot about my Xiao Kingdom. But do you know that this time Xiao Jingcong led an army of 100,000 to fight against your Yuanxia and Northern Liang, it was the old emperor's idea, in other words, as long as the old emperor was still in power for one day, Xiao Jingcong was still the generalissimo of Xiao State, General Wushuangfei, as long as you are willing to cooperate with us, I will definitely recommend it in front of the prince, the prince has always loved this princess, and he will definitely listen to my mouth! ”

"Okay, Princess Xiao, let's discuss this matter later, you can rest in the house, and tell your subordinates to do whatever you need." Saying that, Li Yuanxiao walked in front of Yan Zixi, inserted the rose flower he had just picked on Yan Zixi's bun, and said leisurely, "Although the rose is beautiful, it is too gorgeous, prickly and ruthless." ”

After dropping these words, Li Yuanxiao turned around and left the room, leaving only Yan Zixi, who looked ignorant, still stunned in place, dazed and at a loss.

"Inexplicable!" Yan Zixi angrily took off the roses on her bun and threw them out of the window, "What is this Li Yuanxiao thinking in his heart?" ”

Yan Zixi was puzzled, and she simply didn't bother to think about it, so she sat on the rattan chair and opened it and called out of the door: "Someone! ”

Soon, the two maids pushed the door in, bowed down to Yan Zixi, and asked respectfully: "Princess Xiao, I don't know what to order?" ”

"Go get some food for this princess, this princess is hungry!" You can't escape anyway, so you can't be too hard for your body, right?

Even if you don't eat it, the child in your belly still has to eat it! Yan Zixi won't starve herself.

When the two maids heard Yan Zixi's big words, they resisted the urge to laugh, and hurriedly replied: "Yes, Princess Xiao, please wait, the slave will go and get you food." After saying that, the two maids saluted again, and then slowly retreated and went out of the door.

In a few moments, the two maids brought the freshly made pastries and delicacies.

After a cursory look, in addition to Yan Zixi's favorite osmanthus cake on weekdays, there are also sweet and sour fish, rock candy hearts, etc...... These are all dishes that Yan Zixi likes to eat, and now that they are in front of her, Yan Zixi is not surprised at all. After all, Li Yuanxiao's intelligence is so extensive, and it couldn't be easier to know his preferences.

"Princess Xiao, the dishes are ready, do you need a slave to serve you for dinner?" The two maids stood respectfully aside, waiting for Yan Zixi's dispatch.

Yan Zixi waved her hand, "You guys go out, this princess doesn't like others to watch when she eats, if there is something, I will call you." ”

"Yes!" The maids nodded, answered and left the room, waiting outside the door.

After the maids went out, Yan Zixi couldn't wait to sit down at the table, ready to enjoy the food. From getting up in the morning to now, Yan Zixi has not eaten a drop of rice, and her stomach has long been hungry.

At this time, Yan Zixi didn't care about her image as a princess at all, and opened her arms to eat and drink there.

Most of the food on the table was solved by Yan Zixi, and in the end, it was really impossible to hold on, so Yan Zixi finally gave up. Let's read a book

"Ouch, no, no, no, I'm so full......" Yan Zixi touched her already bulging little belly, stretched her waist, and chattered there to herself.

Since following Xiao Jingcong to northern Xinjiang, she has basically never eaten a good meal when she has slept in the open along the way, and she didn't expect to eat the food she dreamed of here.

"Li Yuanxiao, Li Yuanxiao, this princess really can't guess you!" Even if Yan Zixi was reborn, he couldn't figure out the mind of the prince of Yuanxia at all, serving himself so deliciously and deliciously, wouldn't he want to wait until he was fattened before slaughtering!

Phew! I'm not a pig, what fattened and then slaughtered! Eighty percent of them were because Li Yuanxiao didn't dare to snub me and wanted to use me as a bargaining chip.

Yan Zixi sighed and looked out the window again, with a faint sadness on her face, "I don't know what Jing Cong is doing now?" Will he send someone to track me down......"

……

Baiyue City, a border city in the North Liang, is in the city lord's mansion.

Li Yuanxiao was invited to the mansion by Dugu Yunliu, the second prince of Northern Liang, and is now sitting in the main hall drinking tea. Chen Beihai, the city lord of White Moon City, hurriedly came over to greet Li Yuanxiao and offered him courtesy.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I don't know if my big moon tea is still to your taste?"

"Although Dayue tea is also a high-grade tea, it is still a little worse than Daxiao's Longjing after all." Li Yuanxiao took a sip of the tea in the cup, closed his eyes, and savored it before giving his own evaluation.

Chen Beihai was embarrassed when he heard this, and he didn't know how to answer.

However, Li Yuanxiao raised his deep eyes slightly, glanced at Chen Beihai, and snorted coldly in his mouth: "Lord Chen, your prince said that he wanted to see me, why did I arrive and still don't see his figure?" ”

"This ...... Please don't be impatient, don't be impatient, don't be impatient, and the lower officials will go in and have a look......" Chen Beihai was about to turn around and raise his feet, but he heard a guard say: "His Royal Highness the Second Prince has arrived!" ”

When Chen Beihai heard this, he immediately knelt down respectfully and greeted the arrival of Dugu Yunliu, the second prince of Daliang.

Soon, Dugu Yunliu walked out of the inner mansion with vigorous steps, came to the top of the main hall, and saw Li Yuanxiao, the prince of Yuanxia, at a glance, walked straight over, and said with a smile.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I've kept you waiting."

"Don't dare, His Royal Highness the Second Prince has a heavy military workload, and I am really flattered that he can take time out of his busy schedule to see me." Li Yuanxiao also stood up and returned the salute to Dugu Yunliu.

Dugu Yunliu waved his hand, "Hey, what did Brother Yuan Xiao say, you and I are allies, and we should not distinguish each other." Dugu Yunliu immediately changed his words, as if he wanted to get close to Li Yuanxiao.

Li Yuanxiao didn't eat Dugu Yunliu's set, and kept a certain distance from him from beginning to end, "Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, I don't know if you are in such a hurry to invite me over to the mansion to discuss something?" Is there a new movement in the army of the Great Depression? ”

"Yes and no." Dugu Yunliu said something in a tricky way, and his eyes wandered on Li Yuanxiao's body, and the heroic spirit in his eyebrows and eyes pierced like a sharp blade.

Although Beiliang and Yuan Xia have formed an alliance, their alliance is not close, on the contrary, it is as fragile as a blank sheet of paper.

Two years ago, Beiliang was defeated by the Great Xiao, and had to pay the annual tribute to the Great Xiao, bowing his head to the ministers, and the Northern Liang has been dormant in the north for the past two years, recuperating and resting, lying on the salary and tasting courage, ready to launch a counteroffensive at any time. However, the monarch of the Northern Liang State also understood that their country was deep in the north, and the torture of the bitter cold weather was far inferior to the Xiao State that had lived in the south for a long time in terms of economic strength and military strength, and in addition, they had to pay tribute year after year, which would only make the Northern Liang fall deeper and deeper in the long run, and there would be no place to go out.

Finally, a year ago, the radicals led by the second prince wrote to the emperor, asking for the whole country to fight to the death against the Great Depression, regain the lost territory, and even occupy the rich land of the Great Depression.

Although there were moderates and fine work in the court at that time, in the end, under the strong advice of the second prince, the monarch of Northern Liang finally agreed, and handed over all the military power to his favorite second son.

The second prince did not disappoint him, in just one year, the second prince Dugu Yunliu gathered seventy or eighty thousand Northern Liang troops, and penetrated deep into the southwest of the Yuan Xia Kingdom, and reached an alliance with the Yuan Xia prince......
