Chapter 169: To Each His Heart
Looking at the maid who walked downstairs step by step, Xu Ling's face changed slightly, and his gaze shifted to the open window on the second floor, his brows furrowed, but he still bowed slightly at the shopkeeper who looked at him.
The shopkeeper got Xu Ling's permission, hurriedly stepped forward and carefully picked up the picture scroll and put it in the tray, and handed it to the handmaiden.
"My master said that 10,000 guan has been picked up, and it will definitely be sent to Jubaozhai before sunrise." The maid did not rush to take the tray, but bowed first and said, which is tantamount to telling the other party that she will not breach the contract and will not speak wildly.
Then the maidservant carefully took the tray and turned and walked upstairs.
And the crowd of onlookers also let out a low exclamation, this maid is so educated, and its owner must not be an idle person.
Xu Ling's eyes kept chasing the servant girl until her figure disappeared, and then he whispered: "Your Highness, what you have done like this, I'm afraid it is not what Your Majesty thinks." ”
At the same time, Chen Bogu walked to the stage with a blue face, and Lu Qiong, Xu Jian, and Chen Shujian's brothers hurriedly hugged him. Lu Qiong squinted her eyes and looked at the departing maidservant: "Who is the sacred, who is meddling at this time." ”
"I don't know, but it must have something to do with that good uncle." Chen Bogu gritted his teeth, "With his always suspicious nature, he will definitely not come in person, but it is reasonable to send a competent person to come······
"That must be Lechang." Chen Shujian snorted and said, for the sister of the two brothers who harmed them, and even now had to become a double agent, he not only has no good feelings, but even hates them to the bone, "The people who are favored and trusted by my father and emperor are none other than Lechang and Ning Yuan, the two stinky girls, and Ning Yuan is still young, it must be Lechang who came on his behalf." ”
Lu Qiong's face was also gloomy, and she turned to look at Xu Jian: "Brother Xu, this Jubaozhai is your family's territory, don't you know who the people on the second floor are?" ”
"My father has been very wary of me these days, and I came here privately today, but fortunately, there are many people here, and my father has not had time to punish him." Xu Jian said with a wry smile, "So I don't know who is on the second floor of this Jubao Zhai, and whether there are anyone else." ”
Chen Bogu waved his hand: "What Brother Shujian said just now is very reasonable, Your Majesty will not come in person, but it does not mean that you will not ignore it, and it is reasonable to let Sister Lechang come." What's more, only the special identity of Lechang's sister can make an exception for Xiao Mugong to open the second floor. ”
Xu Jian and the others all bowed slightly, and Lu Qiong said strangely: "But then again, for Your Majesty, shouldn't you be alive and dead watching the East Palace fight with us, why would you send His Royal Highness Lechang here to stop it?" ”
Chen Bogu raised his eyebrows: "Brother Lu means ······"
"What His Royal Highness Lechang has done, I'm afraid it's not what His Majesty thinks." Lu Qiong said softly, "But what happened between His Royal Highness Lechang and His Majesty, it's not something that mortals like me can interfere with, or even know at all, all we can do now is to wait and see what happens." ”
Chen Bogu nodded, today he wanted to take this opportunity to make a name for himself, but who would have thought that this third person would take away all the limelight. This shows that now is not the time to continue to take the next step, and today it has been explained that there are many variables and unknowns in Yangzhou Assassin History in addition to the biggest enemy, the East Palace.
Before these variables have surfaced or have not yet chosen a side, any gladiatorial battle between Yangzhou Thorn Shi and Donggong may be interrupted or go in an uncontrollable direction.
"Don't panic now, we can just wait and see what happens." Chen Bogu said in a deep voice, "Now Your Majesty is estimated to be unable to sit still, since Your Majesty is in a hurry, then we don't need to be in a hurry, but we want to see what tricks Your Majesty can play." ”
Lu Qiong, Xu Jian and the others glanced at each other, and they all bowed slightly. Since Chen Ji took action to stop them this time, it is better to see what Chen Ji's back hand is.
"What is Chen Bogu calculating?" Looking at Chen Bogu and the others who were whispering, Xiao Shilian couldn't help frowning and said, for Chen Bogu, Xiao Shilian naturally doesn't have a good impression of him now," Lu Qiong and the others seemed to be discussing. ”
"The soldiers are coming, the water is coming to cover the earth, it doesn't matter what they are discussing," Shen Jungao snorted, "Today's setback, they must be planning the next attack, as long as we are vigilant and don't show flaws, even if these guys are capable, what can they do?" ”
What Yangzhou Assassin wants is the position of the prince, which means that if the two sides have been in a stagnant situation, then it will be difficult to replace the prince, so from beginning to end, the East Palace is in the defense of gathering forces, and Chen Bogu is leading the attack either openly or covertly.
"It is estimated that they will stop for a while," Li Xinchen said in a deep voice, "This time no matter who the person on the second floor is, Chen Bogu knows that someone is stopping him, whether intentionally or unintentionally, this is an elusive variable, this is still a trivial matter, if someone suddenly appears in a certain major event in the future, it will not be as simple as a hasty ending today, so before this variable is clear, Chen Bogu will not act rashly." ”
"Variables, who the hell are they?" Pei Zilie asked softly.
Zhou Qu also understood what Li Xinchen meant at this time, and lowered his voice: "Whether it is Your Majesty or His Royal Highness Lechang, it can be regarded as this variable." ”
"Variables, the number of changes." Li Xinchen frowned and muttered, "If you want to reduce the possibilities brought by variables as much as possible, the easiest way is probably to turn variables into your own people." ”
"······ for Others" Fu Wei's hand gently twisted the Buddha beads, "But now this variable ······"
According to what Li Xinchen said before, this variable should be Your Majesty and His Royal Highness Lechang, Your Majesty's attitude will actually ultimately determine the ownership of the throne, but what is Your Majesty's mind now, I'm afraid even Xu Ling, an old fox, can't figure it out, let alone others.
Whether it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince or the history of Yangzhou Thorn, I am afraid that the level of understanding of his father is not as good as that of a courtier, let alone a courtier.
As for Lechang, this should be the only person who can influence His Majesty's decision-making and attitude now - there is actually a Princess Ning Yuan, but considering Princess Ning Yuan's age, it can be excluded.
I want to make these two variables my own······ If Donggong has this ability, there is no need to compete with Yangzhou Thorn History.
"Of course, Your Majesty is impossible, but it doesn't mean that His Royal Highness Lechang is impossible." Li Xinchen said in a low voice, his eyes unconsciously looked at the window on the second floor that had been re-closed, "Brother Dashi, Brother Boqing, you still can't remember what the two brothers Chen Shujian and Chen Shucheng said about His Royal Highness Lechang?" ”
