Chapter 520: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada

The Nine Princes shook their heads and sighed, "How to pierce it, now that the King of Chu has coaxed the King of Fanbang to the fullest, it is impossible for him to listen to us." ”

Ji Wan also thinks so.

At the same time, the king of Chu, who was far away in the capital, also received a report from his subordinates. He was very happy to hear that because there was no deal with Fanbang, Xie Yutang's army was now worried about money and food.

"Against me, hmph, you're not a match yet." Chu Wangzhi hooked the corners of his mouth proudly.

The only regret is that the Nine Princes actually escaped, if he could leave the other party's life in that ambush, it would be better for him.

Without the help of the Nine Princes, Xie Yutang would be tantamount to breaking an arm, and it would be easier for him to deal with it.

"It's a pity, it's a pity." Thinking of this, the king of Chu couldn't help but sigh. Missing such a good opportunity, it will not be so easy to find another opportunity to kill him.

Just as the king of Chu sighed, a minister came to ask for instructions, "Your Majesty, the king of Fanbang sent a letter urging us, when will we send troops to attack Shanglin State?" ”

When the King of Chu heard this, he immediately lowered his face, "What is he anxious about, attacking a country is not a simple matter, he has to plan carefully." ”

The minister said again and again, but he said with some hesitation, "The king said in his letter that he hoped that His Majesty would fulfill his promise as soon as possible, because he has done everything he can do. ”

"Alright, got it, I'll get back to him, I'll speed it up." The king of Chu was impatient, and waved his hand to call people down.

The minister didn't dare to say much, looking at the appearance of the king of Chu, if he stayed, he would probably be angry with the other party.

After the others left, a grim smile appeared on the face of the King of Chu, and he said to himself, "These things in Fanbang are really not good things, so they will focus on interests, hum." ”

The calculation in his heart was that even if he defeated Shanglin State, he would have to loot it himself first, and then give it to an empty shell state, which was an ally at all, and he couldn't be so unsympathetic.

It's just that the people of this state are inevitably too anxious, and the king of Chu can't help but sneer, "It's really a poor and sour place." ”

The ministers also knew more or less about the plans of the King of Chu, but they were not so optimistic in their hearts, and they always felt that Fanbang was not so easy to deal with, and if the King of Chu played with them, it was estimated that he would tear his face in the end.

These things in the capital, Xie Yutang naturally didn't know about them, and at this time they were still thinking about how to break the alliance between the king of Chu and the king of Fanbang.

It was already very late at night, Chi Wan woke up from a sleep, and found that the people around her still hadn't come back, so she couldn't help but sigh, put on her clothes, went to the kitchen to pick up some supper warm on the stove, and went to the study.

Recently, Xie Yutang has rarely been able to come back on time to rest, he has been training desperately during the day, and he has to discuss with the Nine Princes at night to stop the King of Chu and Fanbang, which can be described as very busy.

People have also lost weight at an almost visible rate. Chi Wan looked distressed, but she didn't listen to the persuasion, so she could only go with him.

In the room, the two of them were still discussing seriously, and they didn't even hear Chi Wan push open the door, she sighed again, walked over quietly, and put the food box in front of the two, and the two of them realized that Xie Yutang raised his head and smiled at her, "Wanwan." ”

The beard is unshaven, his eyes are blood-red, and when he looks at the Nine Princes on the other side, the situation is not much better.

Chi Wan took out the things one by one, the rich fragrance came to her face, and the Nine Princes swallowed his saliva, "Wanwan, your skills are getting better and better." ”

Chi Wan glanced at him, "You don't look at what time it is, your stomach is already hungry, what don't you smell smell?" ”

"Well, that's right, but Wanwan's cooking is still the best." The mouth of the Nine Princes is as sweet as smeared with honey.

Xie Yutang looked at it coldly, not to be outdone, pulled Chi Wan into his arms and sat down, fed the small wontons with chopsticks to her mouth, and said softly, "You can eat one too." ”

Suddenly, the ninth prince felt that the wontons in his mouth had no taste, and he watched indifferently as the two of them sprinkled dog food, but took advantage of Xie Yutang's inattention to pour most of the supper into his stomach.

On the other side, the Shanglin State, which was forced to participate in the entanglement between the King of Chu and Xie Yutang, was left behind by the monarch after the early dynasty, and the two of them discussed secretly in the imperial study.

"People have already been inserted, but hate Xie Yutang vigilantly, they can't access any secrets, if this continues, when will I be able to control Xie Yutang?" The monarch's face was full of impatience.

Lord Xu Shi Shiran arched his hand, but his mouth was with mud, "Your Majesty don't worry, just wait for the opportunity." ”

The monarch stared at Lord Xu for a long time, and suddenly sneered, "Timing and timing, when is the right time?" ”

He leaned over suddenly, his eyes revealing obvious killing intent, and said word by word, "Lord Xu, I believed in you and used your method, but now it is useless, you still have to act like a method." ”

A huge sense of oppression came to his face, and a drop of cold sweat couldn't help but ooze from the corner of Lord Xu's forehead, and he scolded in his heart, the monarch is pressing all the pressure on his head.

"Wechen will definitely give His Majesty a satisfactory answer."

Only then did the monarch feel relieved and waved his hand, "You go down first, I hope to hear your answer as soon as possible." ”

After Lord Xu left, the monarch unfolded the map and pressed his finger on the land Xie Yutang and the land they now occupied, his eyes flashing with greed.

Such a large piece of land, as well as Xie Yutang's manpower, if it all belongs to him, the development of Shanglin Kingdom will go to a higher level!

The monarch licked his lips, and there was a hint of ambition in his eyes.

After Lord Xu went back, he thought of a very insidious trick, he planned to let those who were planted in Xie Yutang's army tie up Chi Wan.

Everyone knows the importance of Chi Wan to Xie Yutang, once Chi Wan is controlled, it will be difficult for Xie Yutang to be disobedient, which is also Lord Xu's plan at the beginning.

When he said this method, the monarch hesitated a little, and subconsciously rejected Lord Xu's plan.

"No, Chi Wan is a woman, and she is a family member, so it's too unkind to do this." He knew that Xie Yutang was not easy to mess with, and he still wanted to leave a way out for himself.

Lord Xu was disdainful in his heart, when he made a move on Xie Yutang, he was already destined to anger him, and the monarch thought that his so-called benevolence could really appease Xie Yutang in anger at that time?

The kindness of a woman is simply ridiculous.

He was anxious to make meritorious service, and when he saw that the monarch was unwilling to take his advice, he sighed and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to take Xie Yutang without blood, this is the best way." ”

"This will anger Xie Yutang......"

"Are you afraid of Xie Yutang?"

"Nonsense, how could I be afraid of him." Hearing this, the monarch was instantly aroused.

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Lord Xu added another fire in a timely manner, "In this case, Your Majesty will send someone to do it, otherwise, when Xie Yutang is full-fledged, we will really have no way to deal with him." ”

The monarch's fingers clasped the table again and again, and the sound of Da Da was like his wavering mind, and he could not make a decision.

He was also afraid that Xie Yutang's wings would harden and he wouldn't listen to him anymore, so he wanted to get him back again, maybe ...... Can you really try Lord Xu's method?

"Are you sure this works?" The monarch's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Lord Xu who was kneeling down.

Hearing this, Lord Xu knew that the other party was already moved, and he immediately swore an oath, "Absolutely feasible, Your Majesty, don't miss such a good opportunity." ”

After a long while, the monarch bowed slightly, "Then let people do it." ”

When they were calculating Xie Yutang, they didn't realize that they had become an item traded between Fanbang and the King of Chu. What awaits them is about to be a catastrophe, and the so-called praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches are behind, and that's probably it.

Among so many people, the most pure-minded is probably only Chi Wan.

At this time, she was carrying a basket out of the house, ready to go to the street to buy some good ones to make up for Xie Yutang and the Nine Princes. These two have been very busy for the matter of King Chu and Fanbang recently, and often stay up late, which makes her feel very distressed.

People came and went on the street, quite lively, Chi Wan came to a stall she was familiar with, the stall owner was an old woman, and greeted her warmly, "The girl came to buy vegetables again, what do you want today?" ”

"This mushroom looks very fresh, did Grandma pick it up from the mountain today?" Fiddling with the fresh mushrooms in the basket, a touch of surprise crossed Ji Wan's eyes.

Grandma smiled and said, "Yes, it's best to boil soup and drink it, so let's buy some and go back." ”

Chi Wan was trying to make some chicken soup for Xie Yutang to drink, and when the time came, the mushrooms would be very delicious, so she happily let Grandma wrap them all.

She was chatting happily with her grandmother, and she didn't notice that there were two people looking at her not far away.

Chi Wan bought mushrooms, bought some green vegetables, and went home with a basket. When passing through a secluded alley, two people followed silently, and she suddenly looked back at it, and looked at the people behind her, and both sides stared at each other.

"Who are you, and what are you doing with me?" Chi Wan shouted loudly, and at the same time quickly checked the surrounding situation, there are few people here, and there is no one at this time, it seems that these people are stepping on a good point, and they are waiting for her here.

She measured the strength of the opponent and herself, the opponent is tall and big, and her skills are definitely not bad, if she is facing each other, she must not be an opponent.

What to do?

It's still some distance from where she lives, and it's definitely impossible for someone to come to her rescue, so she can only save herself.

Thinking of this, Chi Wan didn't wait for the other party's reaction, and threw the basket directly to the opposite side, and the basket of vegetables was spilled on the ground one after another. She turned around and ran.
