The moment he walked out of the Guoxin Office, the third prince couldn't help but let out a long breath.

He has been in all kinds of cages all his life, first living in an inconspicuous corner of the Beiyan Palace, and then moving out of the palace, but there is only one house that is much narrower and cramped than the other brothers, and he can always find those unscrupulous surveillance eyes around him, and in the Southern Dynasty, because of the incident caused by Yazhu, he was finally put under house arrest in Guoxin.

Therefore, it is still a rare experience for him to temporarily leave the sight of those surveillances like today. When he boarded the carriage and bent down into the carriage, he saw Yue Qianqiu looking at him with a smile, thinking that since the Twelfth Princess had seen the old lady Yue, her attitude towards him was simply abnormal, even if he knew that the Yue family was not entirely kind to him, he still couldn't help but feel a trace of gratitude.

There are no outsiders at this time, of course he doesn't have to pretend to be incompatible with Yue Qianqiu, and he just politely said Jiu Gongzi.

Yue Qianqiu smiled and owed: "The place in the car is small, so I won't be polite to you with the third prince." I think you've been in Jinling City for a while, but you shouldn't have had a chance to walk around, right? I have reported to the emperor, I will take you around today, and then take you to see a good show, just so that you can meet King Jin again. ”

The third prince really wanted to take a good look at the city of Jinling and observe the customs at the same time, but when he heard Yue Qianqiu say that he wanted to take him to meet Xiao Jingxian, his pupils couldn't help but shrink violently. He wanted to say that he didn't want to see Xiao Jingxian at all, but now that Yue Qianqiu took him out of that cage, and it was the Yue family who found him a suitable ally, he naturally couldn't refuse.

Therefore, after the initial shock, he smiled dryly: "The King of Jin has always been a maverick in Shangjing, except for the eldest princess and the twelfth princess, few people can talk to him, but I didn't expect to be able to meet the ninth prince at first sight, it seems that it is a lot of fate." ”

"What kind of fate, it should be said that it is a bad fate." Yue Qianqiu also smiled unnaturally this time, shrugged her shoulders and then diverted the topic, "In addition, even if the Twelfth Princess returns to Beiyan with you in a few days, you still have less foundation in Beiyan." I thought, let's be thousands of miles apart, but we can do some business back and forth! ”

This time, the three princes couldn't help but feel excited. What is he worse than the other brothers? The difference is nothing more than two words, people and money. And to have someone, you have to have money first! I also know that even if Concubine Hui and the family behind her are willing to invest in him, there are definitely restrictions, and there will definitely be various conditions attached, and it would be different if he himself had a way to make money.

Therefore, even if he knew that the deeper the involvement with the Southern Dynasty, the tighter the shackles on his body would be, but when he thought that no matter how bad it was, it would not be worse than before he left Beiyan, the third prince still made a decision immediately.

He nodded very happily: "If the Ninth Prince has a way, I have nothing to do!" ”

"That's great." Yue Qianqiu smiled and showed her shiny white teeth, and said bluntly, "Then let's find a good place now, and I'll introduce you to a few Jinling wealthy merchants who are 'ancient and hot'." ”

When Uncle Qin and Second Uncle Qin got the news, it was Yue Qianqiu who brought a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy in, and the two were visiting the front store, Yue Qianqiu seemed very enthusiastic, but that one seemed to be absent-minded, and his attitude was very cold, thinking that he had been notified by Yue Qianqiu yesterday to meet a distinguished guest, they hurriedly greeted him together.

However, when greeting each other, Yue Qianqiu only asked them to call each other Xiao Sangongzi, and they had no choice but to do so. However, when they turned around outside and invited the two teenagers to the inner room to serve tea, as soon as Yue Qianqiu opened his mouth to introduce people, they were immediately dumbfounded.

"This is the third prince of Beiyan, today I am ordered to take him out of the country letter to go around Jinling City. He was going back in a few days, and I took him to meet his uncles. ”

Uncle Qin and Second Uncle Qin were completely stunned. Although they helped Yue Qianqiu organize a celebration banquet last time, King Xiao Jingxian of Jin and King Li Yiming of England all came to cheer, they already felt that Yue Qianqiu's face was very big, but now this rumored envoy of Beiyan, who has been under house arrest, has also been brought out by Yue Qianqiu in the name of Fengzhi, what does this mean?

Even the only son of the current emperor, King Li Yiming, doesn't seem to have such a big face...... No, not so daring!

Although the third prince is not the prince of Great Wu, Uncle Qin and Second Uncle Qin, who are more knowledgeable about things, immediately greeted the third prince with a smile on their faces after being shocked. And the third prince, who was just cold and difficult to deal with in the mouths of outsiders, seemed warm and cordial at this moment, how could there be any slightest?

When Yue Qianqiu said that the return of the three princes was imminent, and he wanted to seek cooperation, he thought that Yue Qianqiu had mentioned it before, and Tianfengxing in the past still had channels and manpower, just waiting to set up a shelf, and they were even more energetic.

No wonder the three princes behaved coldly before, isn't this just acting? This should be regarded as a typical rejection and welcome!

The third prince was still a little jerky at first, but after all, that was the foundation of his future foothold, seeing that Yue Qianqiu was watching from the wall after the introduction, looking at the lively posture, thinking that people might be taking the school to see if he was worth investing resources, he immediately cheered up his full spirit, looking calm, but in fact, he cautiously came into contact with the two uncles introduced by Yue Qianqiu.

When the two sides gradually got better, Second Uncle Qin stood up and wanted to take the third prince to see a major emerging business of the Qin family in recent years-the printing workshop.

"Uncle really knows the subtleties, how do you know that I have something to say to you alone?"

"Anyway, we've been together for so many years, how can I not understand what the ninth prince means?"

Although it is said that he is the righteous in-law of the Yue family and the elder of Yue Qianqiu, Uncle Qin never relied on the identity of his uncle, and he smiled like a Maitreya Buddha at this time: "Although the third prince is embarrassed now, it is not a fuel-efficient lamp at first glance, I don't think you will put all the talents and material resources you said before into it." ”

"Of course." Yue Qianqiu smiled and snapped his fingers beautifully, "Let's go all the way to the bright and dark all the way, come out of the two commercial houses in Beiyan Lane, and give the third prince sweetness all the way, let him know that this is a win-win situation, and at the same time, he must also leave a bargaining chip to secretly counter him." It's like Tianfeng Xing was exposed this time, but it instead pit Ji Xiaoba, the king of Changle County. ”

Uncle Qin knew that Yue Qianqiu was not a black-hearted person, and he never cared about the specific details and operations of the business, at most, he occasionally planned the general direction, so at this time, the other party proposed ideas, and he agreed without thinking about it. As for how to operate the two firms...... That's naturally something he needs to worry about.

"By the way, there is one more thing to bother uncle, after today's competition between Wuying Pavilion and Wenhua Pavilion, Hemingxuan will print another book in your printing workshop."

Uncle Qin was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing: "Dare to love your former dynasty celebrity series is not over yet?" It turns out that you came out with the three princes today, in addition to coming to me and going to see the excitement, it was for this! That's naturally good, I can't wait for Hemingxuan to produce a few more sets of poetry collections, you know, now literati and writers who are not proud of commenting on the poems produced by Hemingxuan! ”

Second Uncle Qin took the third prince to visit the printing workshop, which was actually an opportunity to exchange various conditions for each other, so when the guests and hosts reappeared, they looked like they were obviously talking happily. And seeing that Yue Qianqiu and Uncle Qin were also like this, they became even more relaxed.

Faced with such a good situation, Yue Qianqiu said with a smile: "It's good that the third prince and the second uncle are satisfied with each other, and the rest can be contacted slowly, anyway, there is still a little time before the Beiyan mission leaves." Anyway, today's Wenhua Pavilion challenges the Wuying Pavilion, I will go with the Three Princes to see a lively scene, there is still some time to go back, are you interested in accompanying the Three Princes to find a place to have a meal? ”

Uncle Qin and Second Uncle Qin exchanged a look, and the latter immediately stood up happily and said, "Big brother will have to meet people to settle accounts in a while, but I have a lot of free time, I must find a restaurant that is the most elegant and suitable for talking!" ”

The third prince is worried that he may not be able to find such a good opportunity today in the future, and the more Qianqiu mentioned it, the second uncle Qin immediately accepted it, and he was naturally willing. Even if there may be businessmen on Dawu's side who want to trade privately with Beiyan, but his foundation is too shallow, and he doesn't believe in the Yue family who intends to support him, and there may be Dawu Tianzi standing behind the Yue family, who else can he trust?

After going out and getting into the carriage, he said to Yue Qianqiu sincerely: "Ninth Prince, if I can stand firm after returning to China, I will definitely not forget that you pulled me out of the previous quagmire." ”

"Hehe, the third prince doesn't have to be polite, everyone just takes what they need."

Yue Qianqiu smiled and clasped his hands, leaning his back lightly on the wall: "The prince and the concubine in front of Beiyan died together, and in the previous turmoil in the capital, they were cleaned by Xiao Jingxian, plus those who were killed or given death because of Xiao Jingxian's assassination and defection, there are four princes missing in total, so I want to congratulate the third prince, now you are the oldest prince of Beiyan." ”

The third prince had been cut off from the news for so long before, Yue Qianqiu told him that Xiao Jingxian had defected, and when the eldest princess was not born to the first queen, he had already felt indescribable ecstasy after being greatly impacted, and now he suddenly heard that his opponent had been cut so much, and his face finally showed a look of surprise that could not be concealed at all.

However, Yue Qianqiu's words were not finished.

"However, there is also very bad news. Although Du Bailou of the Chief Arrest Department of the Criminal Department personally led people to chase and kill, he still let Lou Yingchang enter the territory of Beiyan. Of course, Wu Desi has already ordered the secret spy to spread the news that Lou Yingchang left you, the third prince, and ran away in Beiyan, so as long as we send you back, Lou Yingchang will inevitably pour a basin of dirty water on your head in order to protect himself. ”

The surprise of the third prince suddenly froze on his face. Seeing Yue Qianqiu looking at him with a smile, he quickly calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Although the Qiu Hunting Division has great power and responsibility in Beiyan, there are many opponents. Now the person in charge of the Autumn Hunting Division is Xiao Changhui, the king of Lanling County, he and Wang Jingnan are at odds, and now they will not give up power to Lou Yingchang, if he can send someone to pick me up......"

"Yes, that's a good idea!" Yue Qianqiu smiled and stroked his palms and praised, "But how did you contact Xiao Changhui?" ”

The face of the third prince suddenly froze there. His relationship with the seventh sister Princess Ping'an is not only mediocre, but can even be called estranged, so he has no contact with Xiao Changhui, his brother-in-law. And in an instant, he slammed the seat and said, "The Twelfth Princess once clinged to Xiao Changheng, if she can go back to Beiyan before me, then she can always contact the King of Lanling County!" ”

"This is indeed a good idea, however, it is impossible for the Twelfth Princess to go back alone, because since the eldest princess has cheated her once, she will not let her go, and she can only go with you. So, I have a little suggestion! ”

Yue Qianqiu supported his knees, leaned forward slightly, and said to the third prince: "You can use your name to contact the head of the Shengong Sect, the current Forbidden Army Left General Xu Houcong." Don't look at him as Lou Ying's long-term strategy to go to Beiyan, but now that he has set up his own door, he is a very good candidate for an alliance! Moreover, compared to Lou Ying's long-term rebellion, after he defected to Beiyan, he was not just a god arrow general, Xiao Changheng was really kind to him! Through such a person, it is easier for you to connect with Xiao Changheng! ”

The third prince only felt that these words were reasonable, but he faintly felt that something was wrong. However, he is now a drowning man who has just caught a life-saving straw, and he can only refuse more life-saving straws. What's more, with his embarrassing position in Beiyan in the past, he couldn't even provide a person to contact Xu Houcong or Xiao Changxing!

Just when the third prince nodded, intending to immediately agree to Yue Qianqiu's suggestion, he suddenly heard a cold voice in his ears.

"Although you have the ambition to break out of the quagmire, you don't have the corresponding ability and means, so you are only worthy of being a puppet of what others say."
