Xu Bao and Lan'er frolicked out of the mansion, asked their subordinates to prepare the carriage, and drove in the direction of the palace.

Lan'er asked in the carriage, "Husband, when the monarch's brother sees you, how will you solve the problem of Xu Guo?" ”

Xu Bao smiled and said, "Lan'er, why did you ask such a question?" ”

Lan'er said, "I'm just curious about how my husband will solve this matter. ”

Xu Bao lay in the carriage and said with a smile: "Lan'er, how else can you solve it, if it doesn't work, you can fight!" ”

Lan'er said: "Stinky man, don't sell Guanzi." ”

Xu Bao smiled: "Wait for the next decomposition!" ”

Lan'er heard it, and glared at Xu Bao for being really angry, Xu Baole said: "I didn't find my lovely Lan'er, and she was beautiful when she got angry!" ”

"Just your rhetoric, ignore you."

Xu Bao sat up and a wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Lan'er, are you really ignoring your husband?" Do you want to serve the family law again? ”

Lan'er saw that Xu Bao was coming again, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Okay, husband, I'm talking about playing." ”

"I didn't notice that my Lan'er is getting more and more shrewd."

"There is such a shrewd husband, can I not be shrewd!"

"Lan'er, are you praising me?"

"Stinky man, you are less stinky and beautiful."

The carriage stopped, and Xu Bao knew that he had arrived at the palace.

Xu Bao didn't laugh with Lan'er anymore, so he got out of the carriage, Xu Bao helped Lan'er to get out of the carriage, and at the gate of the palace, Lan'er saw that it was actually the palace servant who came to greet Xu Bao.

I honestly felt that the monarch's brother was attaching too much importance to Xu Bao now, and the servant came to Xu Bao and said very politely: "The monarch asked me to wait for Mrs. Xu here." ”

Xu Bao also responded very politely: "Thank you." ”

"Mrs. Xu will come with me?"

The servant walked in front, and Xu Bao and Lan'er walked behind.

Lan'er saw that the place where the servant actually took herself and Xu Bao was not in the direction of the main hall, but in the direction of the inner hall.

Lan'er thought in her heart at this time, is it very important that the sovereign's brother has something important to go to the inner hall to discuss? Even if it's a matter of Xu Guo, it doesn't have to be like this!

After coming to the inner hall, the servant stood aside and said, "The monarch is waiting for Mrs. Xu inside, please come in!" ”

Xu Bao walked into the inner hall, and when Lan'er was about to enter, the servant stopped him and said that Her Royal Highness the princess, the monarch had explained that he wanted to see Mrs. Xu alone, and Her Royal Highness the princess still waited outside for a while.

Xu Bao saw that Lan'er was stopped and asked, "Why can't the princess enter?" ”

The servant explained: "The monarch explained, and none of my subordinates know, please forgive Mrs. Xu." ”

Lan'er said to Xu Bao: "Husband, you go!" I'll be waiting for you outside, it's fine. ”

Lan'er smiled at Xu Bao and beckoned Xu Bao in!

Xu Bao had no choice but to enter by himself.

Xu Bao opened the door of the inner hall and entered, the servant closed the door again, and stood guard at the door, while Lan'er stood aside and waited for her beloved to come out.

Xu Bao walked in and saw the monarch sitting on the bed chair in the middle, and the monarch saw Xu Bao coming, and hurriedly got up to meet Xu Bao.

The monarch smiled and said, "Taifu Xu, it's not easy for you to invite you once. ”

Xu Bao also smiled and said, "Where is the monarch?" Is that hard for me to please? ”

The monarch came to Xu Bao, took Xu Bao's hand, and walked to his bed and chair, letting Xu Bao sit aside, and sat down himself.

Xu Bao asked, "I wonder why the monarch summoned me in such a hurry this time?" ”

The monarch of the Patriotic Republic showed a sad face and said: "Mrs. Xu, although the gambling contract with Gongzi Xu was announced by the world, the lord of the country of Xu Guo did not eat this set, and I heard the news that we want to defend the country and make compensation to the country of Xu." ”

Xu Bao was puzzled, asked Wei Guo to make compensation to Xu Guo, and asked, "Why do you want to make compensation?" ”

The monarch said: "It is said that we are defending the country and treating the envoys of the Xu State unreasonably. ”

Xu Bao understood, this was also an excuse, Xu Bao asked with a smile: "Then how did the monarch plan?" ”

The monarch said: "Mrs. Xu, I'm not so anxious to see you, I want to ask Mrs. Xu how to let me solve this matter first?" ”

The corners of Xu Bao's mouth showed a hint of playful arc, and asked, "I want to know what the monarch himself means, how do you want to solve this matter." ”

The monarch hesitated for a moment and said: "The gambling contract is indeed tempting, but now that the defense of the country is weak, I asked those ministers of the defense of the country, and they absolutely asked me to take a step back and let go of Xu Gongzi and the envoy of Xu Guo, but I am not reconciled, but where is the strength of the defense of the country!" That's why I want to ask Mrs. Xu what is his opinion? ”

Xu Bao pondered for a while, looked up at the monarch and said, "Monarch, do you want to hear the truth?" Or do you want to hear lies?"

The monarch confused Xu Bao's words and asked, "Mrs. Xu, how do you say this?" ”

Xu Bao couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "Sovereign, if it were true, I wouldn't let Xu Gongzi and those envoys go, but let Xu Guo vomit blood once, if it's a lie, right?" Then let them go back to Xu Guo like those ministers, and compensate them again. ”

The monarch looked at Xu Bao, and knew in his heart that Xu Bao was testing how determined he was at this time. The monarch smiled and said, "Mrs. Xu, I really want you to help me, if Mrs. Xu can help me defend the country, I will definitely stick to the end." ”

Xu Bao also looked at the monarch and asked: "If the monarch is indeed sincere and can insist on standing in front of the truth, I can indeed help Xu Guo spit out this gamble to me, and let Xu Guo completely not despise the strength of defending the country." ”

Hearing Xu Bao's words, the monarch was extremely excited, and the monarch knew that Xu Bao was absolutely capable of improving the strength of defending the country.

The monarch swore and said frankly: "Taifu Xu, if you do it boldly, I will have support for you in the future." Whoever stands in his way, you just let him come to me. ”

The monarch's words, Xu Bao also thought deeply, and from now on, Xu Bao knows that the defense of the country is not the monarch's alone, because the defense of the country is now a dependent country, and there are many spies in the defense of the country, no one knows, even the monarch himself does not know which minister is who.

Seeing Xu Bao's hesitant expression, the monarch asked, "Mrs. Xu, is there any difficulty?" ”

Xu Bao looked up at the monarch and said, "Monarch, do you really want to make the country not bullied by other countries, and still make your country strong?" ”

The monarch stood up and said angrily: "Of course I am very similar, Mrs. Xu, do you know? Although the defense of the country is weak, but this is also where I was born and raised, and my dream has always been to make the defense strong in my lifetime. ”

Xu Bao saw that the monarch really wanted to make the country strong, so he slowly narrowed his eyes, a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Monarch, if you have such a heart, I will understand, leave the rest to me, now hand over part of the army to me, and leave the rest in your hands, I will let Xu Guo know that what he owes is not so good." And the monarch, you can just give me the toughness to do it! ”

When the monarch heard Xu Bao's assurance, his heart was like a reassuring pill, and the two laughed together, and the monarch and Xu Bao's secret conversation made the monarch's heart settle, and he knew what to do for the rest.
