Chapter 53: Eternal Interests
Some people struggle with how to make a dish more palatable, while others worry about a meal. In the dungeons of the royal palace, the dignified Prince Turgish was fainting from hunger.
Heaven and earth. Li Huaitang set up a small banquet, just the scale of the two.
Hungry with his front belly sticking to his back belly, Prince Lulu was brought to a table of sumptuous wine and food.
"Well, good, delicious, eat." Prince Gu Lulu swept the food on the table like a whirlwind while answering Li Huaitang's question in a vague manner.
"Prince, His Royal Highness?"
"Well, good, good, delicious."
No matter what he heard, he nodded in reply, his mouth busy fighting with the food, for fear that someone would come and snatch the food in front of him if he stopped for a while.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, to tell you the truth, I was poisoned in this wine and food."
The tone is very serious, the attitude is very serious, and no one can bear to doubt it.
"Okay, good down, huh!? Poison, oops! "Bone Lu wants to dig his throat.
"Haha, I thought His Royal Highness the Prince was more afraid of starving to death."
A mischievous smile was unbridled on Li Huaitang's face.
"You, you ....." The bone-faced face was red and white, changing rapidly. When the mouth stopped, the brain cleared up a lot. He had already reacted, Li Huaitang was playing tricks on him, did he need to waste food if he wanted to kill a subordinate prisoner.
"Your Highness, don't blame, I'm afraid that Your Highness won't starve to death, but will be strangled to death."
Li Huaitang just rightly sent Gu Lulu a ladder to get off the stage.
"Uh, uh." The burping Gu Lu was a little embarrassed, picked up a glass of wine and drank it all, and said stupidly: "Then, thank you." ”
"You're welcome. Today, this meal is for His Royal Highness the Prince. Next, I'm afraid Your Highness will have to stay here for a long time, I hope Your Highness is satisfied. ”
"Why? Why don't you let me go back. You can't be so untrustworthy, and say okay, five hundred don slaves for my freedom. "Gu Lulu is very sad and angry.
"Well, that's what happened." Li Huaitang nodded.
"What do you mean by original? Is the general going to break his promise? ”
Gu Lulu's anger value continued to rise.
"I also want to let His Highness go back. Now grain is expensive, and the landlord's family has no surplus grain. Li Huaitang made a signature shrug and spread his hands, "That old fox, oh no, it should be called Que Yi Nanru, you must let me go to Bukhara." I couldn't believe him, so he said that His Highness could be a hostage. ”
"Huh? This, this Que Yi is so bad, it's really hateful, I'm going to kill him! ”
Gu Lulu stood up, gritting his teeth.
"No, General, don't listen to him. He, he wants to kill me. The general is gone, and I am afraid that his life will not be saved. "Where does Gu Lulu not know Que Yi's dirty plans.
Li Huaitang pretended to be surprised, looked at Gu Lulu intently, shook his head, and said, "Your Highness, don't be alarmist and sow discord. A certain will not be fooled. It is even more unlikely that His Highness will be let go because of this. I hope Your Highness will not be interested in my wisdom. ”
Gu Lulu was anxious and said, "That old fox, others don't know him, don't I know him?" Very cunning. In short, he wants to kill two birds with one stone. Get rid of me by the hand of the general, but the general's life will not be saved. ”
"What do you mean by that?" Li Huaitang stared, as if he was persuaded by Gu Lulu.
"The wealth of Shi Guo, Father Khan will definitely not miss it. Que Yi Nanru understood his father Khan's thoughts very well. The reason why Shi Guo was able to resist the attack of the Turks was because of the general, once the general went to Bukhara in danger, I am afraid that there would be no return. Gu Lulu said cautiously, looking at Li Huaitang as if he had listened, so he continued: "And I, just a little prince who is a concubine, is not as good as a grain of sand in the eyes of my father. How could I care about my life? He was just trying to trick the general into the urn. ”
"Then, according to His Royal Highness the Prince, what should I do?"
Li Huaitang pretended to think for a moment, and then put on an attitude of asking for advice.
"Call it sick, don't go." Bone Lu is full of confidence. This plan was the crystallization of his wits in a hurry, and Gu Lulu began to admire himself. As for ending up in such an embarrassing situation now, it is just a temporary tiger falling into Pingyang.
"No, no, if the policy of His Royal Highness the Prince is adopted. I am afraid that the army of Turgish will arrive on the same day. Li Huaitang shook his head in frustration.
"Then, that's better, let me go back, I'll go and persuade Father Khan to give up here." Gu Lu said tentatively. Maybe you can get by.
Li Huaitang seemed to have come to his senses, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is joking too much, and you want to deceive me." ”
"No, no, no, the general thought wrong. I really want to help the general. Bone Lu sneered.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, let's stay here honestly and have a good meal for five days. The days are better than the living immortals. Li Huaitang joked with a smile.
"No, no, General, you listen to me, I'm telling the truth. We are all dangerous, we need to cooperate, cooperate, otherwise it is really dangerous, you and my lives are at risk. Gu Lulu was very anxious and messed up.
"Well, cooperation, I also hope to cooperate with His Highness. But we don't have a common interest. That son said very well, there are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. Your Royal Highness, you know, how I can trust you. The other way around, too, how do you trust me. Li Huaitang felt that he could get to the point.
"Eternal interests?" Gu Lulu is playing with this classic quote. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said, "There is." Didn't the general want to be arrogant? I can help the general to become Wang Shiguo, and even help the general return to the Tang Dynasty. ”
"Oh!? That's right," Li Huaitang looked thoughtful and a little excited. "Then you, what do you need, what is your purpose. Just for me to set you free? ”
"Of course not," Gu Lulu saw that Li Huaitang was interested, and a pair of thief eyebrows and mouse eyes scanned around, worried that someone would eavesdrop. "I need the support of the general, and my goal is the position of my father Khan. Don't look at my honorable status, in fact, you have also seen the general, I, the prince who sounds beautiful, is nothing. There are many people who are more noble than me, who are more qualified than me. ”
"I'm going to be a great sweat, spitting fire fairy sweat. If you want Moheda to do it, it will be difficult for Que Yi to crawl at my feet like a dog......"
As he spoke, he seemed to see himself ascend to that unique throne. It wasn't until his blurry eyes were cut off by Li Huaitang's swaying hand that he realized that he had said too much. However, he looks like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, and his sincerity has been revealed, just waiting for the other party's attitude.
"Haha, Your Highness is fast! In that case, Your Royal Highness, would you mind signing a cooperation treaty? ”
Li Huaitang didn't know when he took out a sheepskin from his arms......
