Chapter 204: Smart Man
Feeling the pain in his shoulder, Deng Xianghan replied without much change in his expression: "I don't know the emperor...... What do you want the concubine to say? ”
After hearing this, Jiang Beiran suddenly felt that this woman was very interesting, so he let go of her shoulder and said: "I want to use beauty to solve the problem, this is what only inferior people do." ”
"But it's usually the most effective, isn't it?" Deng Xianghan replied.
"That's right." Jiang Beiran smiled and sat down next to the dragon case, "Put it on, it's cold in the palace." ”
"Yes." Deng Xianghan said and picked up the moon white clothes on the ground.
Jiang Beiran looked at it with interest, curious about how the clothes that could be taken off at this time were designed.
Feeling Jiang Beiran's gaze, Deng Xianghan made a shy gesture and said: "This robe is not easy to wear, and I ask the emperor to help the concubine." ”
Looking at Deng Xianghan's expression that seemed to be extremely deliberate, Jiang Beiran said, "It's not easy to wear?" Okay, I'll find a minion to help you. ”
Jiang Beiran was about to shout as he spoke, but Deng Xianghan hurriedly shouted: "Don't ......"
Jiang Beiran turned his head at this time, looked at Deng Xianghan and said, "It turns out that you still have shame and your own feelings, I thought you really let go of everything." ”
"The concubine only wants to dedicate herself to the emperor, and doesn't want to be ......"
"Don't explain to me, keep wearing yours."
Waiting for Deng Xianghan to put on the moon white clothes again, Jiang Beiran asked, "Do you think your body is worth the risk I took to save your father?" ”
"If the emperor likes it, then it's worth it."
"Hahaha, you're very confident." After speaking, Jiang Beiran's eyes narrowed, and he said, "Then I will tell you now that your body is not worth the price." Seeing that Deng Xianghan was about to speak, Jiang Beiran interrupted again: "It's not worth it to add your sisters." ”
Deng Xianghan lowered his head at this time, and only after a while did he speak: "It's not that the concubine is confident, it's just that the concubine has nothing, so she can only gamble with this puliu......"
At first, Jiang Beiran felt that Deng Xianghan's trick of taking off his clothes was a bit stupid, but if he thought about it carefully, lust seduction was indeed the most profitable way.
Anyway, if you try it and don't need money, why not gamble?
"So now that you have lost the bet, what are you going to do next?" Jiang Beiran asked with some curiosity.
Deng Xianghan raised her head and glanced at Jiang Beiran, feeling that the new emperor in front of her was speaking differently from everyone she had met before, which couldn't help but shake her self-confidence.
Deng Xianghan has always been very confident in her appearance, she has lived in praise since she was a child, and many officials can't help but peek a few more times when they see her, even if they know that they can't look at the princess directly.
Therefore, she is confident that the moment she takes off her clothes, even if the new emperor in front of her will not be in a hurry, she should still be a little softer in her heart, and at least there will be more pity in her heart and words.
But the new emperor didn't seem to take her appearance seriously at all, not even as a woman, as if she was just an interesting "plaything".
'No wonder he was chosen by the adversary as the new emperor...... It's really different. ’
"Don't speak?" Jiang Beiran looked at Deng Xianghan, "Then I will think about it for you, you proposed from the beginning that it was impossible to save your father, in fact, it was like bargaining when buying things in the market, first asking for a price, so that people couldn't figure out how much money you wanted to sell, and then seize the opportunity to fight for more benefits for yourself." ”
"Of course, if you meet a big wrongdoer and directly agree to your sky-high price, it will be regarded as an unexpected gain."
Deng Xianghan didn't hesitate at all after hearing this, and bowed directly and said, "Your Majesty Shengming." ”
"So since I'm no longer going to bargain with you, shouldn't you tell me what you really amended?"
After pondering for a moment, Deng Xianghan knelt on the ground and said: "The emperor is wise and martial, the concubine is greatly admired, and the concubine has nothing else to ask for, just to ask the emperor to keep our mother and daughter safe." ”
"If you just want to be safe, then you don't have to go through so much trouble, go back to Yuxiu Palace to find your mother, I can let you continue to live there with peace of mind."
"Your Majesty is kind-hearted, and the concubine's body is carved with bones, but I'm afraid that the Yin sect leader will not let go of the concubine."
Deng Xianghan would say this sentence Jiang Beiran still quite understands, after all, he has been with Yin Jianghong for so long, Jiang Beiran knows that the bad old man is indeed a smiling tiger.
A moment ago, the call of "Beiran, Beiran" was cordial, and the left one "The deity is optimistic about you", and the right one "The old man's daughter will be handed over to you." ”
But when he turned around, he sent someone to visit the palace at night.
If there is no option prompt, and he exposes his strength in a hurry when he encounters an assassin, then I don't know what the old thing will react to later.
Therefore, Jiang Beiran felt that Deng Xianghan probably saw Yin Jianghong's capriciousness, and at the same time, he knew that he could be sent back to the palace because there was still use value, if this use value was gone, then it was a question whether Yin Jianghong would let her continue to live.
"You don't think I can protect you?" Jiang Beiran asked.
After hearing this question, Deng Xianghan was silent for a long time, and finally raised his head and replied as if he had made up his mind: "What the concubine is afraid of is that the emperor will be unable to protect himself." ”
After saying this, Deng Xianghan thought that he would feel the emperor's thunderous anger, but he didn't expect the emperor in front of him to react, and he poured himself a cup of tea leisurely.
"Interesting." Jiang Beiran said and made a gesture of please: "Start your performance." ”
Deng Xianghan was stunned for a moment, but soon understood what Emperor Jiang meant, and slowly spoke: "Your Majesty, do you think Yin Jianghong will always let a smart person like you sit on the throne all the time?" ”
"Oh? It's been less than a stick of incense since you and I met, so you're sure I'm a smart person? ”
"To be recognized by the leaders of the two realms of good and evil in such a chaotic situation, to be promoted to the position of emperor, and there has been no sign of being replaced in the past two months, this can only be done by smart people."
"Is your dad smart?"
Deng Xianghan was speechless for a while, but he quickly replied: "Although it is only a short time, just now the concubine can see that the emperor is deeply recognized by the leaders of the two realms, and in this regard, my father cannot compare with you." ”
"I think your father is quite smart, but unfortunately, his luck is not good, and he fell short." After taking a sip of hot tea, Jiang Beiran put down his cup and said with a smile: "In addition, what you said just now is to provoke the relationship between me and Sect Master Yin?" ”
"The concubine is just worried about the emperor."
"Hahaha, what a worry, I'm really moved, and then said, why is it difficult for me to protect myself?"
"The concubine has heard of the name of the Yin sect leader a long time ago, and knows that he has great ambitions, and now that Fengzhou is in chaos, the Yin sect leader needs a smart emperor to preside over the overall situation of the court and restore the people's livelihood."
"But when the Fengzhou Rebellion subsides, you will become the second emperor in the eyes of Sect Master Yin who may become like my father, and you are far smarter than my father, Sect Master Yin will inevitably be more suspicious of you."
Hearing this, Jiang Beiran's dark color was suddenly stunned, and suddenly showed a stunned expression of hindsight.
"I've had a good ride lately, and I've been living a little too comfortably...... I never thought about this, and Miss Deng's words are indeed very reasonable...... Read on. ”
Looking at Jiang Beiran's way of suppressing his panic, Deng Xianghan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, knowing that he had said the sore spot of the emperor in front of him.
"Your Majesty, now the concubine is in the same boat with you, if there is no protection for you, the concubine will naturally die without a place to be buried, if the emperor does not dislike it, the concubine is willing to come up with a few ideas to let the emperor counsel one or two."
"Say it quickly." Jiang Beiran asked with some urgency.
Deng Xianghan looked at Jiang Beiran's increasingly solemn expression between his eyebrows, and found that he was very much like the kind of smart person who suddenly found that he had overlooked a fatal problem.
Sure enough, as long as it's human...... It is impossible to be invulnerable. ’
"First, the emperor took the initiative to take the throne when the Fengzhou Rebellion subsided, so that the Yin Sect Master would not have a chance to be suspicious of you."
"Nope." Jiang Beiran shook his head directly, "I'm afraid it will take a lot of time for the disaster in Fengzhou to calm down this time, and when it really subsides, if I directly Zen position, Sect Master Yin will definitely suspect that I have done something unfortunate, besides, what if Sect Master Yin does not allow me to Zen and insists on forcing me to die on this throne?" ”
Deng Xianghan nodded after hearing this: "Your Majesty Shengming, it's because the concubine hasn't thought about it enough. ”
"What's the second idea?"
"The emperor found a way to tell Sect Master Yin everything he had done during this period of time, and took the initiative to let Sect Master Yin send someone to follow you, so that your every move would be exposed under his nose, so that Sect Master Yin would have no reason to suspect you."
"This ...... It's an idea, but in this way, won't I become a puppet in the hands of Yin Jianghong? ”
"That's right, but the emperor should know Yin Jianghong better than me, if you don't do this, he will definitely not trust you."
Jiang Beiran closed his eyes and thought about it for a while, and finally rubbed the bridge of his nose and said, "Let's talk about the next idea, this one will be pressed first." ”
Seeing that the emperor didn't want to be killed, and he didn't want to become a puppet of Yin Jianghong's men, Deng Xianghan was sure that he had won the trust of the emperor.
So she said as seriously as if she had made some important decision: "As the concubine body just said, the concubine body is now closely related to the emperor, if the emperor is deposed, the concubine body will inevitably usher in a catastrophe, so the concubine body will risk death and give you another idea, the emperor can know the actions of Liang Guo in recent years?" ”
Seeing that the emperor frowned at first, and then his expression kept changing, Deng Xianghan knew that the emperor had understood what she was going to say, and made her feel that the conversation between smart people was really easy.
After a while, Jiang Beiran let out a long sigh and asked, "What did Liang Guo do?" ”
"The powerhouse of the Xuanzong Realm of Liang State has always been eyeing our Shengguo, so it is better to give it a fight and reach a cooperation with Liang State......"
Just when Jiang Beiran was thinking about what kind of expression to make, the system options suddenly jumped out.
[Option 1: Agree with Deng Xianghan's idea.] Completion Reward: Jade Emperor Spiritual Recipe (Ground Level Upper Grade)】
[Option 2: Shout out at Deng Xianghan for being stupid.] Completion Reward: Wild Goose Feather Treasure Map (Xuan-level Upper Grade)]
[Option 3: Tell Yin Jianghong about this conversation afterwards.] Completion Reward: +1 for random special attribute points]
'Hmm??? ’
Jiang Beiran was a little stunned when he saw the system jump out of the option, he just wanted to take advantage of the situation to find out who his father was secretly cooperating with from Deng Xianghan's mouth, but he didn't expect that he could let the system jump an option for him.
And it's also a special attribute point, that is, the system recognizes this as he actively triggered.
I could have tried a few more times in the future. ’
After choosing three, Jiang Beiran looked at Deng Xianghan and asked: "What is the difference between cooperating with Liang and Yin Jianghong, could it be that after conquering Shengguo, the lord of Liang will let me continue to be the emperor?" ”
"So what the concubine is talking about is to fight, on Yin Jianghong's side, the emperor only has the two paths that the concubine just said can go, but if you cooperate with Liang Guo, then there will be more opportunities."
"For example?"
"That Xuanzong of the Liang Kingdom is extremely honest, as long as he agrees to the conditions you proposed, he will definitely not go back on his word, and it is very likely that the emperor will retreat by then."
"Miss Deng seems to know Liang Guo very well?"
"Don't hide it from the emperor, Liang sent a messenger to find my father a long time ago."
'Oh~'
Jiang Beiran understood, it turned out that the source of Deng Bo's sudden change in temperament was here, and it was estimated that the messenger also analyzed this for him after he came, Deng Bo was convinced, and felt that following Yin Jianghong was bound to be a dead end, so he wanted to find another way to survive.
"It turns out that there is a big force of Liang as a backer......
In this way, Jiang Beiran somewhat understood why Deng Bo was able to win over so many decent demon sects at once, it should be that Liang Guo was secretly funding him.
Meantime...... Jiang Beiran also understood who Shengguo's first enemy was.
The location of Liang State is next to Shengguo, and the cultivation resources of the two countries are not rich, and they can be called difficult brothers and sisters in this Xuanlong Continent.
But no matter how rich it is, it is also the cultivation resources of the entire two states, if they can really take down the Shengguo, the Liang State will definitely earn it by blood, so it is not surprising that they will secretly sabotage.
Jiang Beiran, who knew what was going on, continued to ask, "So...... Your father agreed to Liang Guo's request? ”
"Yes......" Deng Xianghan nodded.
"It's too dangerous...... I need to think about it. ”
"Your Majesty, why don't you meet the envoy of the Liang State first, and then decide whether you want to cooperate with the Liang State or not?"
Just as Jiang Beiran was thinking, two options jumped out.
[Option 1: Stern refusal.] Completion Reward: Fire Black Demon Diagram (Ground-level Lower Grade)】
[Option 2: "Let me think again."] Completion Reward: +1 for random special attribute points]
'Huh......? ’
Looking at option 2, Jiang Beiran suddenly felt a little meaningful, he was just acting a play and deceiving the little girl, but it seemed that he was really going to fake it?
Otherwise, what else to consider?
