After Bai Shengrui left the dormitory, he called Zhou Ling and ordered him to temporarily block the news that Wan Dasheng had died, no matter what method he used, and sent someone to the Buqi tribe to contact the leader of the Western Army, who was also Wan Dasheng's uncle, Wangu Wang Wan Ruhai.

"Is the prince preparing to form an alliance with the Western Army?" Zhou Ling interjected and asked.

For a long time, the Eastern Army of the Dubuqi Tribe, which was pacified and contacted by the Western Zhou, had never had contact with the Western Army.

Although the Western Army and the Eastern Army have always been inseparable, and there are constant minor frictions between the two factions, the Western Army is also a member of the Buchi tribe after all. On top of the big things, the Western Army may not want to turn out with its elbows, but its own people help the foreigners.

Besides, they didn't know what kind of temperament Wan Ruhai was, so Zhou Ling was afraid that something would be wrong if he went to contact him so rashly.

Bai Shengrui understood Zhou Ling's worries, but he went further than he thought.

He held the military newspaper that had just been handed over in the morning, and said while flipping through it: "The Eastern Army has always been the head of the rat, if it weren't for the concern that the Yan Kingdom would take the opportunity to make waves, and there was no good excuse for crusade, this king would have already had the heart to give them some colors to see." This time there is a ready-made excuse, the little prince of Butch has evil intentions against Princess Zhennan, and is killed by this king, and this king also wants to ask King Butch for his guilt. ”

As he spoke, he stood up from his chair again, looked out the window with deep eyes, and continued with a profound face: "As for the ancient king of the Western Army, this king can stand up for him, and let him have a chance to taste the top spot of the Buqi tribe, can he not readily agree?" ”

After speaking, he turned around, and the dark brilliance of Jin Mo's eyes flashed, like an unsearchable abyss, unfathomable.

Zhou Ling couldn't help but bow down, "The prince is wise, his subordinates will do it." ”

"Wait."

Zhou Ling was about to leave, but was called by Bai Shengrui again.

Bai Shengrui threw the military report in his hand on the table, and then ordered: "Go and check Su Rinye's whereabouts here, if you find out, find a way to stop him, don't let him go out of the city, and don't let him send any news out of the city." ”

"Yes." Zhou Ling replied respectfully.

Although there were doubts in his heart, why the prince was so concerned about the dark guard Su Rinye, he knew that the prince told him to do this, which naturally made sense, so he didn't ask too much, and turned around and went out.

As soon as Zhou Ling went out, he almost bumped into a beautiful girl in a gorgeous costume. Zhou Ling raised his eyes and carefully identified it, and finally recognized this girl, it was Princess Jingyun who Yan Guo gave to the prince and his relatives.

The girl didn't feel angry when she saw Zhou Ling, she saluted according to the etiquette of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and then said softly: "Commander Zhou is early." ”

Zhou Ling hurriedly returned a big gift, and then replied without daring to look directly: "Princess, I really don't dare to be a subordinate." ”

Just thinking about it, Bai Shengrui suddenly spoke from the hall and asked, "Zhou Ling, who are you talking to?" ”

Zhou Ling hurriedly replied: "Back to the prince, it is Princess Jingyun of Yan Kingdom." ”

"Oh." Bai Shengrui's tone revealed a hint of surprise, and he seemed to be a little lost, "Then invite the princess in." ”

"Yes." Zhou Ling hurriedly lifted the curtain and made a gesture of please. Princess Jingyun smiled kindly at him and stepped in.

Putting down the curtain, Zhou Ling hurriedly left, not only to rush to do the task given to him by Bai Shengrui, but also to quickly escape from this non-trivial place.

It is difficult for a Qing official to cut off family affairs, and this prince's family affairs are even more difficult for ordinary people to touch, so it is better to hide far away, so as not to have trouble in the future.

After Jing Yun flashed into the house, she saw Bai Shengrui sitting in front of the bookcase in the office, and when she saw her coming, there was no trace of joy between her eyebrows, and she was very calm.

"Jing Yun has seen the prince." Princess Jingyun was polite and generous, and at first glance she was a polite and knowledgeable aristocratic woman raised in the deep palace.

She was originally placed in the palace and had to wait for the wedding before she could enter the palace. But now that the war in the Zhou Kingdom has just subsided, and the capital is not very peaceful, Bai Shengrui is afraid that Princess Jingyun will have any unexpected danger in the palace, so he is concerned that she will move into the palace first.

Anyway, he has no affection for this princess, it's just a political transaction, whether it's polite or not, and he doesn't care if he thinks about it thoroughly, as long as there is no chaos, it is good to reach an agreement between him and Yan Guo.

Princess Jingyun has no objection to entering the palace life in advance. On the one hand, when she was in the boudoir as a princess, she knew that her fate in this life was just a political bargaining chip, and she couldn't decide where she married and what treatment she received, so she wouldn't fight, she wouldn't resist, she was all at the mercy of fate.

On the other hand, when she saw Bai Shengrui for the first time, she was attracted by this handsome man with the appearance of a celestial man. Compared to the foolish and unscrupulous aristocratic children her sisters married, her future husband was hundreds of times stronger. For such a man, she wished she could live with him earlier, how could she refuse when he asked her to move into the mansion.

When Jing Yun leaned down to worship, Bai Shengrui only raised his head slightly, and did not get up to help. He asked lightly, "When did the princess come over?" ”

He asked this to test how long she had been here, and whether he had heard the conversation between him and Zhou Ling just now. Even if he heard it, he was not afraid, and ordered someone to guard it strictly, so as not to let her send the news out. But he still wanted to test it, and by the way, see how the princess's scheming was.

Princess Jingyun is young, and it seems that the city is not deep, but when Bai Shengrui just asked casually, she said with a defenseless smile: "It's been a while, Jingyun was going to ask the prince for good morning, but seeing that the prince was discussing things with Commander Zhou, Jingyun didn't dare to disturb, so she stayed outside the door." ”

"Oh." Bai Shengrui nodded meaningfully, and then asked with a chuckle, "Did the princess hear something outside the door?" ”

Jing Yun nodded, "I heard a little bit, but it's not very real." It's just that I heard Su Rinye's name in a trance, if Jing Yun is not mistaken, this should be my imperial brother's pseudonym. ”

"Yes, you know a lot." Bai Shengrui smiled, but the smile was very cold.

He didn't think why, he didn't think that this Princess Jingyun was really innocent, but felt that she was a person who was very good at disguise, knew how to hide her thoughts, and knew how to deal with it.

She didn't know how many times better she was than Wan Yan Lingyue at this point. Wanyan Lingyue is completely a person who has no scheming, and his joys, angers, sorrows and joys are on his face.

Although she is calmer this year, she is still a person who can't hold her breath in the end, otherwise she wouldn't have poked out such a big basket in order to save an irrelevant person.

But she herself didn't feel anything, but regarded this impulsive act as a kind of chivalrous behavior.

Thinking of Yan Lingyue, Bai Shengrui was distressed and helpless, and a slight smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth. But at this time, I heard Princess Jingyun ask a question.

"The prince mentioned my imperial brother, but what's the matter? Need help from Jing Yun? Princess Jingyun's eyes flashed, seemingly innocent and harmless, and asked with a sincere face.
