Chapter 266: Counting is Counting
"And what have you been bothering lately?" Xiao Li asked with concern.
The third prince was a little stunned, and he was still a little uncomfortable with Xiao Liu's sudden care.
So he spared his head and said embarrassedly: "It's okay, Xiao Gongzi, what about you, are you still used to the life of the Tile Thorn tribe?" ”
Xiao Li sighed, "It's okay." ”
Xiao Li didn't want to say too much to the third prince about his presence in the Wattle Tribe, so he perfunctory the third prince.
It's just that the third prince is a big-hearted person, and he didn't notice anything from Xiao Li's tone.
continued: "Young Master Xiao, what do you think of the customs of the Tile Thorn Tribe? ”
Xiao Li was a little impatient, she could be said to hate the Tile Thorn Tribe now, so she also hated it when others mentioned things about the Tile Thorn Tribe to her.
So it was time to change the subject.
"Have you studied what Hui Sang-hyun gave you recently?"
The third prince was simple-minded, and Xiao Li changed the topic at once, so he didn't think much about it, and said with a smile on his face: "Well, I have studied hard, but I have been taking care of my father recently, so I don't have a lot of time to study." ”
Xiao Li nodded, patted the third prince on the shoulder, and encouraged: "Study hard, what he handed you will be used in the future." ”
Xiao Li thought that the third prince should not know that she and Hui Shangxian decided to make him the king of the Tile Thorn tribe. But I'm not in a hurry to tell him now, lest he study hard.
After listening to Xiao Li's words, the third prince was a little confused, and he didn't dare to ask Xiao Li what his words meant, but after thinking about it himself, he suddenly realized that it might be because he was going to follow Gongzi Hui to the Central Plains, so it would be good for him to learn a little more Central Plains culture.
So he nodded vigorously at Xiao Li gratefully, and said, "Well, Xiao Gongzi, don't worry, I will definitely study hard." ”
Xiao Li smiled kindly at the third prince, glanced at the royal tent behind him, and said to the third prince: "You go to the royal tent quickly, when I just went to the royal tent, I saw that there was no one around the king of the thorns, take good care of him." ”
After saying that, Xiao Li parted ways with the third prince.
It's just that neither of them knows that there is one person who has been paying attention to them.
The eldest prince originally thought that there were not many things in the tribe that he needed to deal with today, so he was ready to go to the king's tent, pretending to be in front of the king of the thorns, doing his filial piety, and better consolidating his position in the heart of the king of the thorns.
However, on the way, he met the third prince, and the eldest prince felt very strange, these three princes, according to reason, had been expelled from the king's tent by their father a long time ago, why were they still walking in the direction of the king's tent now.
However, he didn't stop the third prince, and was ready to quietly follow the third prince to see what he wanted to do. When he was about to reach the king's tent, he saw Xiao Li come out of the king's tent.
But he didn't think much about it, he just thought that Xiao Li might just go to his father and talk about trade.
What he didn't expect was that after Xiao Li and the third prince met, logically speaking, Xiao Li and the third prince should have no intersection.
However, he was very surprised to see Xiao Li and the third prince talking and laughing, and their movements were also very intimate, and he felt very strange in his heart.
I wanted to listen carefully to what they were talking about, but unfortunately it was too far away, and he couldn't expose himself, so he didn't hear anything.
Now he had to wonder what the relationship between Xiao Li and the third prince was, and how they met.
After Xiao Li left the third prince, he came to Hui Shangxian's room.
Hui Sang-hyun is feeling irritated about how to make the eldest prince lose his power friend.
I accidentally looked up and saw Xiao Li coming, and after sitting on the stool in a hurry, Hui Shangxian asked, "Is there anything to find me?" ”
After Xiao Li poured himself a cup of tea, he said slowly: "How long will it take for the affairs of the Tile Thorn Tribe to end. ”
When Hui Shangxian heard this, it turned out that Xiao Li had come to him to talk about it.
I had no choice but to say helplessly: "The situation of the Tile Thorn tribe is a little complicated now, and I can't be sure. ”
"Then what else do we need to do now, the King of the Tile Thorn has agreed to trade and cooperate with us, I see that the third prince has been running very diligently to the king's tent recently, and it is estimated that he has won the trust of the King of the Tile Thorn, and our task should be almost completed."
Hui Shangxian sighed, shook his head, glanced at Xiao Li, and said: "Things are not as simple as you think, and the King of Tile Thorns is not as easy to deceive as it seems, I still have some worries about King Tile Thorns, so I am ready to let the third prince take the throne and then leave, after all, the third prince was cultivated by our first song, and there should be no big problem." ”
When Xiao Li heard Hui Shangxian's words, he also felt that what Hui Shangxian said made sense, after all, after letting the third prince become the king of the Tile Thorn Tribe, they would be more sure.
So he nodded and prepared to leave, and when he walked to the door, Xiao Li turned his head and said to Hui Shangxian: "Please solve the matter quickly, we have consumed enough time here." ”17
After the eldest prince saw what happened to the third prince and Xiao Li, he was not in the mood to go to the king's tent, and pretended to serve the king of the watts, so he went home.
As soon as he arrived at his mansion, the eldest prince called his attendants.
"You go and arrange some people for me, stuff them into Xiao Li's yard, keep an eye on him at all times, and tell me immediately if anything is wrong."
The attendant received the order and hurried down to carry out the mission.
After the squire left, the eldest prince looked at the pile of unfinished business in front of him, and felt a little irritated in his heart, since he accepted the management of the Tile Thorn tribe, he stayed in the room every day, dealing with this.
It feels like these things can never be dealt with, and he finally finished dealing with some of them, and there are new things that he needs to solve.
Lately, however, the people of the tribe have been unusually kind to him, and they often send things to his mansion, and every time they see those rare treasures, they make him feel very good standing on a high place.
So, while these things to deal with make him feel busy, the feeling of having power also makes him feel cool.
After Xiao Li returned to her courtyard, she found that the servants who were cleaning the yard suddenly slowed down, and she had some doubts in her heart, but Xiao Li also pretended not to find it, and entered the room by herself.
As soon as she entered the room, she found that her room had been tampered with, and since she did not like strangers to enter her room, when she came to the tribe of Watts, she told the servants that they were not allowed to enter her room without her orders.
The servants were more obedient before, and she didn't notice anything unusual.
However, she remembered very well that when she was leaving, the cups on her bed were flat and neat, without a trace of wrinkles.
Xiao Li squinted and stared at his bed.
Suddenly, she realized something, and secretly screamed in her heart.
Hurriedly walked to the window, poked a small hole, and looked at the scene outside the room.
Sure enough, those who are now pretending to clean in the courtyard are no longer the servants they used to be. It's all fresh faces.
So Xiao Li walked to the door again, took a deep breath, and pushed the door of her room open, and she pretended to walk around the courtyard, pretending to be walking, while quietly watching the servants.
Sure enough, during this period, these people have secretly looked at her a few times.
Xiao Li thought that she must have been watched, but she didn't know who was coming to spy on her.
She didn't do anything in the Tile Thorn Tribe, it was impossible for the Tile Thorn King, now lying in bed, dying, where did he have any mind to spy on her.
So who exactly? What is the purpose of the people who spy on her, the enemy is in the dark, and she is in the light. Now I can only pretend that I don't know.
The eldest prince has been thinking about his next step for the past few days, and he originally wanted to go to Hui Shangxian, but after seeing Xiao Li and the third prince in contact that day, he was a little vigilant in his heart.
thinks that Xiao Li is close to the third prince, so it is possible that the current group of caravans from the Central Plains is biased towards the third prince, although he doesn't know how the third prince came into contact with them, and the third prince will definitely not be able to compete with him in the battle for the throne.
Joke, how could his own father give the throne of the Tile Thorn tribe to a person with lowly Hu blood.
It can be seen from his father's attitude towards him that his father is very disgusted with him.
However, now that he is in a high position, he has to be careful in everything.
In addition, in order to consolidate his throne, he must find a way to get rid of the King of Wattshorn as soon as possible, otherwise, everything will be uncertain.
Through the observation of the past few days, Xiao Li has determined that she has been monitored, and after various investigations, she finally feels that the most likely person to spy on her should be the eldest prince of the Tile Thorn tribe.
In order to solve this matter, she decided to go to Hui Sang-hyun to discuss countermeasures.
Xiao Li was not ready to say directly to Hui Shangxian, the person who monitored her was the eldest prince, after all, she had no evidence to prove that you were the eldest prince in this matter.
So she insinuated in front of Hui Shangxian, alluding to the behind-the-scenes instructions of this matter.
After listening to Xiao Li's words, Hui Shangxian also understood the meaning of Xiao Li's words, and he also guessed that the person who was spying on Xiao Li should be the eldest prince.
In this case, it means that their actions in the Vasse tribe may have been exposed, and the Grand Prince has begun to suspect them.
Therefore, he must now find a way to get rid of the eldest prince as soon as possible.
The eldest prince spies on Xiao Li, and it is also possible that he has discovered their dealings with the third prince, so he wants to be sure.
