Han Qian stood in the courtyard, stretched out his hand and asked Xi Ying to help her remove the leather armor, looked at the pomegranate tree with withered branches and leaves, and couldn't help but sigh lightly and said:

"How many people in the world can not submit to others? If they really want to succeed, I surrender to them, and there is nothing wrong with peace of mind for them, but unfortunately, they are so strong that they are stupid, and they can't become the climate, if they are tossed, it won't take long, I'm afraid that they will soon be beaten with chickens and eggs, and the dismal end of a mess! ”

"You can also guess that you have done so many things during this time, and you will definitely not be happy over there, why is the reaction so big?" Xi Ying asked curiously.

"I'm ready for that lady to keep an eye on me, anyway, I can't take advantage of you and Ting'er, I can bear a lot of eating and drinking for nothing, but they have no scruples to suppress the domineering arrogance of the three princes, this is going to be a bad thing! What a bunch of fools who have not achieved enough and have more than enough to lose! Han Qian scolded with hatred that iron does not become steel.

Their biggest advantage now is that Emperor Tianyou has the heart to abolish the heirs and the three princes have the dragon race, so that they can get the direct support of Emperor Tianyou in many things, including the preparation of the Dragon Bird Army, including the fact that they led the Dragon Bird Army to participate in the war this time.

If nothing else, the salt matter and the new Junzhou matter, as long as they can get into the loophole and block the tongue of the Anning Palace and the crown prince's family, they should soon be able to obtain the direct support of Emperor Tianyou.

A few days ago, they directly instigated the three princes to agree to the Dragon Bird Army to disembark on the north bank of the Han River, could it be that Du Chongtao's awe of the three princes was relied on?

What they relied on was the awe of the unsuccessful Du Chongtao for Emperor Tianyou.

However, all the support of Emperor Tianyou for the Three Princes stems from the fact that the Three Princes are worthy of cultivation.

Han Qian was not afraid of what Xinchang Hou Li Pu was doing to him at this time, he couldn't resist it, it was a big deal to be obedient, he could choose to forbear, and bite them back when he got the opportunity, but Xinchang Hou Li Pu and the black gauze woman did this to the three princes, and for Yang Yuanpu, who was not cold in his blood and was in high spirits, the blow would be extremely tragic.

Why is Yang Yuanpu so diligent? Isn't it just to get rid of the shadow of the Palace of Tranquility?

Although in this process, Yang Yuanpu was in a hurry, Emperor Tianyou would not mind this.

If the third prince now realizes that he is destined to never get rid of the fate of becoming a puppet, then why does he fight for succession?

Even if the three princes did not fight fiercely and no longer cooperated with the actions of the Marquis of Xinchang, even if their will was depressed and they became puppets completely controlled by others, it would be impossible for these changes to hide from Emperor Tianyou's eyes, and all the consequences that would lead to would be catastrophic.

It is very likely that the salt matter planned by Han Qian this time and the new Junzhou will come to naught.

"What do you do?" Xi Ying saw that Han Qian was a little angry, and he also realized the seriousness of the situation, so he asked Han Qian in a low tone.

"Difficult." Han Qian shook his head and said.

Just as he didn't discuss with the Marquis of Xinchang at all, and directly pulled the three princes and Shen Yang to support Zuo Si to raise loans, the woman in the black gauze and the Marquis of Xinchang arranged Zhang Ping and Yao Xishui to the side of the three princes this time without revealing a single tone in advance, to put it bluntly, he was not allowed to refuse.

Putting on such a tough posture over there has already shown that there is no longer any possibility of backing down, and it is inconvenient for him to carry it hard.

Zhao Ting'er was not around, and Han Qian didn't care whether Xi Ying hated him for killing his brother in his heart, he was depressed at this time, so he explained the many entanglements in this to Xi Ying one by one, and said: "I think this matter is very fucked up, can I tell you, what do you say the third prince is in at this time?" But at this time, I can't tear my face with these idiots......"

"You can't immediately and firmly support the three princes, I'm afraid the three princes will become very disappointed in you, right? And the salt matter planned this time is probably going to die! Xi Ying frowned and said.

"You're not stupid." Han Qian said.

Xi Ying couldn't help but want to glance at Heng Han Qian, was this praising her, or scolding her?

Han Qian didn't care what Xi Ying was thinking, but the key question was just as Xi Ying said, he couldn't tear his face with idiots like Chai Jian, but if he couldn't immediately put on a tough posture in front of Chai Jian, Zhang Ping, and Yao Xishui, and restrict their interference with the three princes, not only could not appease the frustrated hearts of the three princes, but also might make the three princes disappointed in him, and many things would become a mess.

Han Qian took the excuse to go to the temporary residence of the third prince and found a familiar guard, this guard was just an old pawn who had been incorporated from the Dragon Bird Army, and he didn't know too much, but when Zhang Ping arrived in Xiangzhou City at noon the day before yesterday, he could feel that the third prince had obvious emotional changes.

Han Qian was at a loss, it was getting dark, and he didn't have the heart to eat, and it was almost time before someone ran over to report that the third prince had returned from Du Chongtao, the defense envoy.

Han Qian called Xi Ying and Yang Qin over and said, "I'll go to see Your Highness first, and then you will break in to look for me, saying that you have received a report that you have learned that the Liang army has been found in the direction of Shaoxi Mountain, but what is the matter, it needs to be further confirmed." ”

Yang Qin didn't know what was going on, Han Qian actually asked him to report the military situation in a panic, but Xi Ying knew that Han Qian had no way to untie the knot here, so he could only use this strategy to get out temporarily, at least for a short time, so as not to directly face the three princes, lest the three princes be disappointed in him personally.

After instructing Yang Qin and Xi Ying, Han Qian walked through the alleyway to meet the third prince.

Han Qian saw Zhang Ping for the first time, and saw that he was a middle-aged man in his early forties, or maybe older, with a white face and no beard, and narrow and thin cheeks.

In addition to the three princes, Chai Jian, and Zhang Ping standing under the corridor, Han Qian came over, and saw that the courtyard outside the lobby was in a mess, and more than a dozen women with flowers and branches carried boxes and cages, as if they were moving, and only after asking did they know that it was the musician and dancer that Du Chongtao gave to the three princes; The third prince did not refuse, and after the banquet, he brought it back to the house here.

Seeing that the third prince standing in front of the corridor had a gloomy face, obviously he was not in a mood because he got more than a dozen beautiful girls, but he just held back and did not have a seizure.

Han Qian knew that all this was the same as he expected, the arrival of Zhang Ping and Yao Xishui, the three princes were extremely resistant in their hearts, but they were powerless to resist, so that they completely ignored whether there were any eyeliners planted by Du Chongtao or others among the dozens of beautiful girls and accepted them.

The third prince also used this wayward and did not hesitate to let the situation get out of control to vent his dissatisfaction with Zhang Ping, right?

Chai Jian and Zhang Ping's faces were not good-looking.

Zhang Ping's true identity is not visible, originally thought that after arriving in Xiangzhou City, the eyeliner of Ning'an Palace was removed from the three princes, they usually talk and do things, there is no need to be so cautious, but they don't want to because of the willfulness of the three princes, there is such a group of musicians and dancers living in the house here who can't figure out their roots.

"My newly adopted righteous daughter has nothing to do in Xiangzhou, so these musicians and dancers will be handed over to her for training." Zhang Ping said in a non-questioning tone.

It seems that before Han Qian and the others came over, Zhang Ping, Chai Jian and the three princes were discussing what to do with these musicians and dancers.

The person was sent by Du Chongtao, and Zhang Ping had no other better way to deal with it, thinking that he would drive everyone to Yao Xishui first, at least to make the house here quiet.

Guo Rong, Shen Yang and others are still on the way to Xiangzhou, not to mention that Guo Rong is only serving as a military envoy at this time, and he has no right to control the affairs of the back house of the Marquis of Linjiang, and Zhang Ping and Chai Jian have the final say in this back house.

Yang Yuanpu now regrets that he agreed to accept these musicians recklessly, but the resentment in his heart is not settled, why is he unwilling to be a pawn at the mercy of others again?

He stood there with a gloomy face, looking at Han Qian.

Han Qian nodded at Yang Yuanpu, indicating that he already knew these things, and arched his hand at Zhang Ping, and said coldly: "Han Qian has seen Lord Zhang, and he didn't know that Lord Zhang was coming to Xiangzhou before; What about Miss Yao? ”

As soon as Han Qian's words fell, Yao Xishui turned around and walked out of the back hall, it should be Zhang Ping and Chai Jian on the way back, so they discussed what to do with these female musicians.

"You all move the cage to the backyard to clean up for the time being, when His Royal Highness first arrived in Xiangzhou City, the house was also empty, and you can also add some popularity when you live in." Han Qian ignored Zhang Ping and Yao Xishui's expressions, and said directly to a group of musicians and maiko who were quite dazed.

Except for a few eyeliner that may have been deliberately arranged by Du Chongtao, most of the musicians and maiko are just slaves kept at home by the powerful, and they can't decide their own fate, maybe they are sent out for the first time, so they are a little confused and at a loss; Han Qian directly asked them all to go to the backyard to clean up first.

"Lord Han......" Zhang Ping didn't want to give Han Qian a chance to interfere in the affairs of the Hou Mansion, so even if he sank, he wanted to reprimand Han Qian, telling him not to stretch his hand too long.

Before Zhang Ping could think about what to say, Yang Qin and Xi Ying rushed straight inside from the outside and were stopped in the courtyard by the guards.

"What's the matter?" Han Qian waved his hand to tell the guards to get out of the way, let Yang Qin and Xi Ying walk in, took the secret letter prepared in advance from their hands, unfolded it, and then turned his head and said to the third prince, "Your Highness, there is an abnormal movement in the direction of the Liang army in the direction of Shaoxi Mountain Wuguan, two scouts from the Zuo Division have died, and the information sent back is vague, I will rush to Jingzikou immediately!" ”

Hearing Han Qian say this, whether it was Yang Yuanpu, Zhang Ping, Chai Jian, or Yao Xishui, his attention immediately diverted from what happened just now.

Although the more than 2,300 soldiers and horses who went to Jingzikou with Li Zhihe and Li Chong only accounted for 20% of the Dragon Bird Army, the more than 2,300 soldiers and horses were the elite of the Dragon Bird Army.

Where can Chai Jian and Zhang Ping distinguish the real from the fake?

When they heard Han Qian say this, they immediately felt that Han Qian would leave immediately, and the sooner they figured out the movements of the Liang army in the direction of Shaoxi Mountain Wuguan, the better, so as not to have too many dreams at night, and the arrangement of more than ten musicians and dancers would become an inconsequential trivial matter.

Han Qian immediately went out of the city with Yang Qin and Xi Ying, took a boat past Hanzi, and then Han Qian and Xi Ying took four horses and galloped west along the north bank of the Han River at night.

"You are just a temporary plan, you can't hide it for a few days, you still have to go back to Xiangzhou to see the third prince, otherwise you can't carry out many plans, what do you think?" After Xi Ying crossed the Han River, he couldn't help but ask.

"I'll talk about it when I see Li Zhihe." Han Qian said.
