Qiu Ying said: "The head of the Helian family said that you promised her that for the sake of the eldest son of the Helian family (qíng), she would not get married within three years. Now the prince (diàn) is leaving Beijing, not for your good. If he really came for you, please refuse him as agreed. ”

Autumn Shadow's words were concise and to the point, but they were enough to explain what Helian Ruo meant.

Su Jinyao frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Did the Helian family see you in person?" What else did she say? ”

Qiu Ying nodded and said, "I also feel strange that the Helian family is looking for me. But you also said before, master, that we have joined forces with the Helian family and can help each other, so I went. Helian didn't embarrass me, but only told me where you are going, asked me to come to you quickly, and said that if she broke your agreement, she would not sit idly by. ”

"She's threatening me?" Su Jinyao narrowed her eyes, thinking that Helian Ruo's words were too heavy?

If she and Helian are considered fellow villagers, they are only a few faces. Helian Ruo came earlier than Su Jinyao and gained a firm foothold here.

But Su Jinyao didn't expect Helian Ruo to help her with anything, she couldn't bully others and control herself, right?

What's more, the original agreement was for Helian Tianqi, I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to turn a corner in the matter of feeling (qíng), and hoped that three years would make him forget about it. But now that Gu Xuebin is even going to give up the throne, won't Helian Tianqi let go?

Qiu Ying shook his head and said, "Helian also said that your agreement is actually not very efficient. She's just a mother who wants her friends not to be too cruel to her son. But she also said that it was a matter of state, and she couldn't ignore it. She wants you to persuade the prince (diàn) to return to Beijing next time, and first settle the matter of harmony. ”

These words made Su Jinyao feel a little relieved. It seems that Helian Ruo is not trying to use the power in his hands to oppress people, and he will not bother for Helian Tianqi's affairs (qíng).

After all, there is no beginning or end to the affairs of children (qíng), and no one can guarantee what will happen (qíng) three years from now. If Helian had a brain, he would not admit to this matter.

Su Jinyao asked, "Then what is it (qíng) that she would make you so urgent to stop me?" ”

Su Jinyao already understood that Helian Ruo hurriedly sent Qiu Ying over to prevent her and Gu Xuebin from getting married.

Qiu Ying said: "I don't particularly understand what the Helian master said. Then I went through our secret agent to find out about the princess of Tianze Kingdom. ”

When Su Jinyao heard it, since it was about the princess who was going to make peace with Gu Xuebin, she said, "Tell me about it." ”

Qiu Ying continued: "Tianze Kingdom is located in the northern frontier, although it is not a barbarian land, but it is also a fierce people. Moreover, Tianze Country's special mineral deposits, copper ore and iron ore are more than our Cloud Dome Country, I don't know how many times, so Tianze Kingdom's weapons are the best and most among several big countries. The small forces that General Tuoba is stationed in Fancheng, Mobei, are actually several small affiliated countries of Tianze Kingdom, and the reason why they have repeatedly caused trouble may also be secretly instigated by Tianze Kingdom. ”

Su Jinyao frowned, and said, "You mean, Tianze Kingdom deliberately provokes disputes on the one hand, and wants to marry their princess on the other?" Isn't that inconsistent? ”

Let's not say whether Gu Xuebin likes this princess or not, and whether he will treat her well; If the two countries really go to war, then this princess is afraid that she will be the first victim.

Autumn Shadow nodded and said, "That's what our spies have found so far. However, we do not know what the plans of Tianze are going to be, and our spies have not yet been able to penetrate into the center of other countries. The matter of peace seems to be aimed at promoting the exchange and sale of mineral resources between the two countries. ”

Using a princess as a guarantee for the transaction can be figured out by the emperor of the Tianze Kingdom.

But then again, it seems that the two countries are married, and 本 (shēn) is for various purposes. It is as if a princess is born with a mission of peace, and must use the happiness of the end (shēn) to contribute to the country.

Su Jinyao silently didn't speak, thinking about everything possible in her mind.

But I heard Qiu Ying say again: "But I also found out that the one who has been trading with Tianze Kingdom is the Helian family." It can be said that in addition to operating the silver village as the biggest benefit, the Helian family also has a large part of the sea transportation with stable income. At present, it seems that the Helian family wants to open up a mineral trade with Tianze Kingdom. ”

"In this way, Helian Ruo still wants to push Gu Xuebin out and vouch for their family's business." Su Jinyao raised her eyebrows and motioned for Qiu Ying to continue sitting and waiting for her, and she got up (shēn) and went out.

When she got to the next door, Su Jinyao knocked on Gu Xuebin's door and said, "I have something to say to you." ”

Gu Xuebin has a good ear, not to mention that Su Jinyao and Qiu Ying didn't shy away from talking left and right, so he could vaguely hear some movement next door.

Now he was full of anxiety, and when Su Jinyao knocked on the door, he pulled Su Jinyao into the door, closed the door casually, and pressed Su Jinyao behind the door.

"Why, I'm here to discuss business with you." Su Jinyao blocked Gu Xuebin's (yù) lips with her hand to kiss her, and said with a straight face: "Did you hear what we said?" What do you think? ”

Tianze sows discord

Gu Xuebin was pressed by Su Jinyao, and he couldn't kiss Fangze. But he refused to let go of her, as if he was afraid that she would run away. Hurriedly said: "Of course I understand what Helian is in charge of, but if she wants to trade with Tianzeguo, she can send her son over." Helian Tianqi and I are the same age, and I have never been married, and Helian's family is a prominent royal family, and the marriage between the two countries is a good thing, so how good it is for him to marry that princess. ”

Su Jinyao smiled when she heard this, and said, "If it's really as simple as you think, it's the best." I'm afraid that there are some things (qíng) that you don't know yet. ”

Gu Xuebin frowned, then pulled Su Jinyao to sit aside, and said seriously: "The marriage letter sent by Tianzeguo is really sudden, not only did I not get the news when I led the troops outside, but even my father and grandmother felt very surprised. ”

"So, with your understanding of the national strength of Tianze Kingdom, have you ever thought about what their purpose is?" Su Jinyao thought for a while and said, "No matter how much my secret agent investigates, it is impossible for him to be involved in state affairs. But you (shēn) are the crown prince, so you should be aware of it, right? ”

Gu Xuebin furrowed his brows, looking serious and thoughtful. In fact, he is not the prince of straw bales, and many things (qíng) are also in his calculations and plans.

It's only that this time it's about the future of him and Su Jinyao, so he completely ignores the clues.

Now that Su Jinyao mentioned it, and Helian Ruo's words came first, Gu Xuebin had a little bit of a plan in his heart.

After weighing it, Gu Xuebin said: "In my judgment, this is just the appearance of Tianzeguo deliberately tearing up the reciprocity regulations with my country. ”

Then, Gu Xuebin told the Tianze Kingdom that it had always traded grain and cloth with minerals and weapons and the Cloud Dome Country (qíng).

Then he said: "I now wonder if Tianze has the help of other countries, so they deliberately gave up cooperation with us?" But other small countries are not strong, even if they are rich in crops, but several small countries combined, they can't afford to support a Tianze country. Unless...... It's a big country overseas. ”

Su Jinyao's mind flashed with inspiration and asked, "What about the overseas powers, is the current trade also related to the Helian family?" ”

Gu Xuebin nodded and said, "We are across the sea from Nanyuan Kingdom, not far in a straight line, but a strait is enough to become a natural barrier. Nanyuan is a land rich in products, with a large land area, close to the sea, a warm and humid climate, and can be cultivated all year round. At present, the Helian family is transporting the grain crops of the Nanyuan country to this side through maritime trade and transportation. ”

Su Jinyao's heart twitched slightly, and she felt that Helian Ruo's business was really big enough, and it was also very clever.

Helian Ruo, without affecting the interests of his own country, actually resold the crops of Nanyuan Kingdom to Tianze Kingdom, and then purchased a large number of weapons and minerals from Tianze Kingdom to enrich his country's military and smelting technology.

Although this may seem troublesome, in fact, she does not need to buy large quantities of food crops in China, so it will not cause a price shock to the food industry in her country.

Just imagine, if there is a big rich businessman who monopolizes and buys and sells grain, it will inevitably cause the price of grain to fluctuate, which will affect the people's lives.

However, Helian Ruo pushed this influence to the Nanyuan country, and she created a monopoly in the Nanyuan country, which did not affect the country's production and food prices. Even if it is an extra cost of sea transportation, it is actually equivalent to protecting the country's economy and people.

After all kinds of analysis, Su Jinyao suddenly understood what might be hidden in it, so she said to Gu Xuebin: "You guessed right, it should be Tianze Kingdom's intention to trade directly with Nanyuan Kingdom. But because Helian Ruo had always been caught in the middle, he thought of finding some excuse to tear up the treaty. However, in terms of Helian Ruo's strength, unless the emperor personally ordered the intervention, even if the ministers of the DPRK and China proposed impeachment, they might not be able to shake Helian Ruo's strength in the slightest. So Tian Zeguo came up with this beauty trick. ”

Gu Xuebin nodded, but with a bitter face, he said: "Then, Helian Ruo means to let me go back, don't abandon the overall situation of the country." Only if I marry the princess of Tianze Kingdom as promised, will Tianze Kingdom not have the excuse to break the contract. ”

Su Jinyao also nodded in agreement: "That's right." And Tianze Kingdom's purpose is so clear, how could he agree to the princess marrying Helian Tianqi? Doesn't that mean that another flaw is sold in Helian's house? So, either you marry the princess of Tianzeguo, and Tianzeguo will use the princess as a bargaining chip, (bī) for you to explain the termination of the contract (qíng) for Tianzeguo. Or, if you don't marry the princess, Tianze Kingdom will use this as an excuse to say that the Cloud Dome Kingdom has no sincerity and directly breaks the contract. ”

And at this point of analysis, Helian Ruo's meaning couldn't be more obvious. She asked Su Jinyao not to marry Gu Xuebin, just to prevent Tian Zeguo from using this as an excuse to attack directly.

After Gu Xuebin really marries the princess, the princess's happiness and life are already in their hands, and then they can let Tianze Kingdom have a chicken and egg fight.

But the premise is that Gu Xuebin wants to marry the princess, and then firmly control the princess, and finally let Tianzeguo come to "steal chickens, but lose rice".

Gu Xuebin hugged Su Jinyao's shoulder, rested his chin on Su Jinyao's head, and said softly: "Jinyao, I can't use our marriage as a bargaining chip for national interests. There may be another solution. ”

"yes, there should be another way." Su Jinyao said: "I won't want to be separated from you, let alone the kind of person who is obedient and willing to obey other people's arrangements." However, if Helian and I really have an agreement, I will not be able to marry you within three years. Otherwise, not only will she not help you, but she will also stumble on you and me. ”

"Are we afraid she won't make it?" Gu Xuebin looked a little stubborn and said, "If Helian is strong, we may be able to be stronger than her." ”

After a pause, Gu Xuebin hooked his lips and smiled, and said: "No, we don't want to be stronger than Helian Ruo, but we have to know how to take advantage of the situation." ”

Leverage? Su Jinyao's mind turned, her eyes lit up, and she asked with a smile, "Do you want ...... Joining forces with the Helian family? ”

Gu Xuebin nodded and said, "Not bad." If I fell out with the Helian family, it would be in line with Tianzeguo's wishes. But I just joined forces with the Helian family, and immediately went back to discuss with the Helian family how to deal with the Tianze Kingdom's (yīn) move to sow discord. ”

Su Jinyao also smiled and said, "Yes, whether it is public or private, we should all stand on the side of the Helian family." In other words, behind closed doors, we are all a family, and we can't always show jokes to outsiders. ”

"Jinyao, it's just that in this way, I'm going to wronged you again." Gu Xuebin kissed Su Jinyao lightly on the forehead.

It's a lie to do this kind of thing

Gu Xuebin came out this time and made up his mind to marry Su Jinyao. If it weren't for Helian Ruo calling Autumn Shadow to stop it, Tianze Kingdom's first move would have been considered a success.

Now it seems that Gu Xuebin should unite with the Helian family whether he marries a princess or not, at least there is an agreement on an offensive and defensive alliance, and no matter how difficult the Tianze Kingdom is, it will not shake the foundation of the Cloud Dome Country.

Therefore, the marriage is put aside for the time being, and Gu Xuebin still has to go back to the capital first.

Su Jinyao has never been a little woman who can sa (jiāo), not to mention that if she and Helian had an agreement in advance, she was also in favor of Gu Xuebin going back at this time.

Gu Xuebin looked at Su Jinyao deeply, sighed, and said, "Jinyao, do you know how much effort I put into it this time to have the opportunity to fly away with you?" We don't leave, we can't get married, and the road ahead makes me feel like it's been a long one. ”

"That'...... I won't leave tonight, so I'll stay with you. That way, neither you nor I will feel hopeless. After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she wrapped her hands around Gu Xuebin's neck, pulled his handsome face down, and kissed him lightly on the lips.

The ears and temples were grinding, the lips and tongue were lingering, Gu Xuebin's handsome face was flushed, and his breathing became more and more rapid. Taking a big breath, Gu Xuebin's hand gently moved to Su Jinyao's collar button, and whispered in a hoarse voice: "Jinyao, I'...... I don't want to wronged you. ”

"It's what I'm willing, not wronged." Su Jinyao's hand also moved from Gu Xuebin's neck to the front of the collar,

Gently but without hesitation, he unfastened Gu Xuebin's first buckle, and then the second, revealing his straight and convex collarbone, imprinted a kiss, and said with a light smile: "Since they are like each other, where are the grievances?" You'll be gentle with me, won't you? ”

"Yes." Gu Xuebin only felt that his mouth was dry, and his brain was also "buzzing", completely confused, and he had no thoughts.

His fingers were so stiff that he couldn't hold the small buckle, and he tore open one of them clumsily and tremblingly, and he was so nervous that he almost couldn't breathe.

"Don't worry, the night is still long. Our (rì) sub, longer. Su Jinyao chuckled, threw herself into Gu Xuebin's arms, and kissed his lips softly, letting him slowly relax.

The night is blurry, the moonlight is beautiful, and the people are looking forward to being able to stay together for a long time.

Even if they disperse after today, they finally give each other more thoughts (qíng), and they have more bonds for each other in their hearts.

The tent (chuáng) is light, the warmth is soft, and the (shēn) shapes that are entangled with each other are full of fire (rè).

"Hiss" Gu Xuebin frowned slightly, Jun's face was full of beads of sweat, and he stopped (shēn) to look at Su Jinyao, who bit his lip flap tightly, and twisted it together in distress.

"Che?" Su Jinyao opened his eyes and raised his eyes slightly, wondering why he suddenly stopped at this time, hurt for a while, and didn't continue? Is this a success or not?

"Jinyao, so be it. I can't bear it. Gu Xuebin took a deep breath, moved away from Su Jinyao's (shēn), stretched out his long arms, hugged her in his arms, caressed her back, and said, "I see that you can't breathe when you hurt." That's all for 今 (rì). ”

"That's it, you...... Can you still bear it? Su Jinyao's face was covered with cold sweat, and she didn't know what was wrong with this (shēn), it was not as strong as words, and even that membrane was not ordinary toughness.

I don't know if it's because Gu Xuebin is stunned and inexperienced, or if she doesn't know how to cooperate, anyway, the two of them worked hard twice, but they couldn't enter. also made Su Jinyao sweat painfully.

Gu Xuebin stabilized his breathing, wrapped Su Jinyao in a brocade quilt again, kissed her on the forehead, and said, "Bear with it, I can't hurt you at this time." ”

Su Jinyao also knew that if she continued, it would not be impossible, but it would inevitably hurt her. It's hard to say if you can get up tomorrow morning (chuáng), let alone be able to hurry.

But looking at Gu Xuebin's flushed handsome face, Su Jinyao bit her lip and said, "Or, think of another way?" ”

"Don't." Gu Xuebin shook his head decisively and said, "Don't greet me (shēn) with your silver needle." I'll just go take a shower. Sleep in peace, I won't be arguing with you tonight. ”

After that, Gu Xuebin pulled the clothes on the ground, put them on one by one, turned his head and smiled at Su Jinyao, and said, "I doubt it, is it too good that your master made it up for you?" ”

"I guess so." Su Jinyao's face was also flushed. How did she know that there was such a tough membrane?
