Chapter Ninety-Six: Useful Chips
A day ago, the General's Palace.
The light in the study was dim, Su Chao sat on the top, he was a military attachΓ©, and he rarely sat in the study on weekdays, but today he sat on the top and didn't say a word.
There was also a distinguished guest in the room, and the people made precious tea and brought it up, and the person only took a sip and put it down gently.
"General Ben is becoming more and more unpopular in front of the new emperor, and the things in this mansion are naturally not as good as those in the Hou Ye's mansion, and the Hou Ye should not look down on them. Su Chao immediately lowered his face and said sarcastically without moving.
Zhongxian Hou Wang Tingyu was not angry when he heard this, Sven smiled: "We all know that it doesn't matter if you are treated by the new emperor or not, it is important to be treated by the regent, otherwise, let alone one less good tea, even if you lose your head, you don't know how." β
Su Chao sneered twice, "King Huai's wrist is indeed powerful, but this general is amnesty from the first emperor, so he doesn't dare to touch me." β
Wang Tingyu sighed: "Brother Su, it's time for the new emperor to ascend the throne, and he has only been on the throne for a long time, but one summer, the king of Beirong was killed, and the Cui and Li mansions were severely damaged, so we have to be careful." β
"Didn't he even let go of the Wang family? When Nangong Wu died, you had already surrendered to him. β
"When he transferred troops to Qiongzhou, I didn't know anything, do you know?" Wang Tingyu glanced at him and nodded at him, "It was Xie Zhizhang's stinky son who went to pass on the military order, don't you understand what this means? He can't trust us at all, and he doesn't really regard you and me as confidants." β
Su Chao said angrily: "Could it be that he wants to kill us all?"
"Huh. Wang Tingyu leaned back in his chair and sneered, "He relies on the Xie family, in my opinion, it is not a smart move, he will suffer from Xie Zhizhang's old thing sooner or later, what we have to do now is to find a way back for ourselves, the Li family lost Qiongzhou, and the Cui family got into a lawsuit, if they don't help them, the next thing King Huai has to clean up is me, and I am afraid that the general will not be able to get benefits at that time." β
Su Chao asked, "What does Hou Ye mean?"
Wang Tingyu pulled a smile at the corner of his mouth, looked him up and down, and said, "I came uninvited, did you disturb Yaxing where the general met the beauty?"
Su Chao took a breath and said unhappily, "What have you heard?"
"I saw that you took away a singer from Qingjiang Pavilion from the banquet, is it the one named Huaixi?" Wang Tingyu asked directly.
"So what's the matter? A singer, it is a blessing for General Ben to take a fancy to her. β
Wang Tingyu asked, "Where is this person now?"
Su Chao said: "I locked him up." β
Wang Tingyu: "???"
"That slut not only didn't obey, but also wanted to commit murder, if it wasn't for Master Hou coming, I would have killed her at that time!" Su Chao's eyes flashed.
Wang Tingyu thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Don't kill her, send her away quickly." β
"What's wrong?"
"Brother Su, your news is too closed, do you know who this singer is good friends with? She knows the female crown from Taiyuan Guan. β
"So what? She's a cultivator, so she can control the general's mansion?"
Wang Tingyu raised his forehead, "The relationship between this female crown and King Huai seems to be extraordinary, if we want to contain King Huai, we have to have a bargaining chip in our hands, and this Huaixi is a useful bargaining chip." β
Su Chao still didn't understand, and asked, "Then what should I do?"
Wang Tingyu said lightly: "We don't have to tear our faces with King Huai to blackmail him, give this singer to the Cui family, it will be regarded as a favor, they will naturally make demands on King Huai, even if he doesn't take the bait, there is no loss to us." β
Su Chao hesitated: "Can a cheap woman play such a big role?"
Wang Tingyu saw that he was not dead, and his heart really couldn't support the wall, so he said in a heavier tone: "The general should focus on the overall situation and protect his life, what woman does he want, what is there to be reluctant for a lowly woman, Huaixi will always be heard when you take it away, do you want to offend the regent, or do you want to offend Taiyuanguan?"
"I know, General Ben didn't mean that!" Su Chao waved his hand impatiently and summoned his subordinates, "Go and bring that slut and let her follow Hou Ye's people." β
Wang Tingyu smiled, "Don't worry, in my opinion, this singer will play a big role." β

Flowing cloud view.
Qi Wei sat opposite Princess Gao Ning and chatted.
"Princess, you're a monk, do you know how to spell?"
Gao Ning said: "No. β
Qi Wei's eyes widened, "Huh? not at all? β
Gao Ning thrust his waist, "Do you think it's easy to learn spells? Do you know how many Taoist texts you have to recite and how many times you have to copy spells before learning spells? Even if you memorize them all, you won't necessarily use them." β
Qi Wei said: "No, I see that my eldest brother will remember it after watching it once." β
Gao Ning: "......" can't talk to this person anymore.
"Although I can't, my imperial sister will!"
"What will she do? Edgeworth?" Qi Wei immediately became interested.
"Of course you can! My imperial sister entered the Tao early, and her cultivation is very high, but she is very low-key and does not go out easily. β
Qi Wei's eyes rolled and he didn't say anything.
"Did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say when he would come back? He asked you to wait for him at the temple? Otherwise, you should go back to his house, this is the courtyard of the flower chief and my imperial sister, and it is inconvenient for His Highness to stay here. Gao Ning got up and prepared to see off the guests.
Qi Wei stood up obediently, walked to the house and glanced at it, smiling cleanly, "That little Wang said goodbye." β
After Qi Feng came back, Qi Wei gathered around him and talked a lot, and asked with great interest: "Brother Huang, you saw Princess Guangrong in the morning, how is her cultivation, and what are the qualifications of their Dayan royal family?"
Qi Feng said unceremoniously: "The regent who is in charge of Dayan is actually a waste who can't cultivate, do you say that their qualifications are feasible? Princess Guangrong's cultivation is already very good in the Yuanying Three Realms." β
"I heard from the Venerable Master, this princess rarely went out, as if she was sick, but I felt that everyone was secretive about her. β
Qi Ding looked at him, "Don't ask around, this palace brought you here to say goodbye, don't provoke any rumors." β
Qi Wei nodded obediently, "I just want to help the imperial brother find out more news, I don't have any other ideas." β
"There is no best. β
"Your Royal Highness the Prince," the attendant replied from outside, "There is a letter from the National Teacher, you can read it." β
"Bring it in. β
Qi Feng unfolded the letter and smiled, "Someone finally can't hold it anymore." β
"Isn't it a letter from the National Teacher?" Qi Wei said curiously, if it was a letter from the National Teacher, Qi Feng's tone would not be so casual.
"It's the Li family, they still dare to write a letter, heh, the palace hasn't settled accounts with them yet. β
"Is the royal brother going to see them?"
"Of course," Qi Feng smiled, "Now that they have a common enemy and a common purpose with this palace, this palace needs to hear what they have to say first." β
"Brother Huang, is King Huai really so powerful in Dayan, then why don't we cooperate with him?"
"King Huai is not as breezy as he seems, on the contrary, he is thoughtful and clever, Qiongzhou has been in chaos for a summer, because he has no time to manage, and when he cleans up the four major families, he will definitely make arrangements for the border, we will come this time, even if we can't kill him, we have to mix the water in Chang'an. β
As he spoke, he stood up and instructed, "This palace will go and ask the Lord to let you live here, and you should not wander around." β
"Yes. Qi Wei nodded, and asked again, "Then can I go to see the Taoist with the surname Hua?"
Qi Feng hooked the corner of his lower lip, "If she is willing to see you, you can go." β
