Chapter 286: I Know the Secret

Her smile was blended with her person, immersed in this morning light, soft, bright as a dustless fairy floating out of the fairyland. The same beautiful and romantic environment made Li Jiu have a little illusion at this moment, as if the person in front of him was not only not blind, but a normal person who looked the most painful and transparent.

Perhaps, she was the one who saw it best.

"Your Highness the Nine, you don't have to look at me like this, mine is indeed ...... I'm blind, even if you are in front of you, the jade tree in front of you, chic and dignified, I can't see it at all. She said to herself, sitting on the swing frame, swaying, leisurely, happy and wanton.

"Since Miss Rong Yan is a person who understands, then I won't go around in circles." Li Jiu suddenly leaned on the body of a big tree and smiled at her, he didn't know why he was laughing, because what he was going to say next was not ridiculous at all.

"If you have anything to say, Your Highness, please say it." Rong Yan's expression was more calm, as if she already knew what Li Jiu wanted to say to herself.

At this time, the person who seemed a little cramped and uneasy was this suave Ninth Highness, Li Jiu.

"Maybe you don't know that in the ten days that you have been unconscious, the fourth brother has ...... I have delayed a lot of business, especially some of the ......" he said this, a little speechless, after all, the next topic is so difficult to say. At this time, Rong Yan smiled and said, "There is still a part of the matter related to the Great Qi Kingdom, isn't it?" She lifted the corners of her mouth slightly, and said something he had been muttering for a long time.

Li Jiu was stunned for a moment, and began to smile bitterly, yes, the relationship between him, others, can see it, but I didn't expect that she could also "see" it clearly.

"Yes, Fourth Highness, he has indeed wasted a lot of precious time for me." She chuckled softly.

"How do you know?" Immediately, Li Jiu began to react, and played a clever game, why would she know? At that time, she should still be in a state of unconsciousness, she should be unaware of everything around her.

Rong Yan smiled contemptuously and pointed to her head, "Although I can't see with my eyes, it's very useful here." Your Highness, your grassland is not very peaceful right now, right? His Royal Highness Li Shi ...... "She also paused, as if she felt that this title was a bit polite and excessive.

"His Royal Highness Li Xian, he is a person who values love and righteousness, so he will definitely suffer in some things." Rong Yan slowly lowered her head, "Actually, I am also responsible for this matter, isn't it, after all, he will be calculated because he has to take care of me, then, I should probably find something to do, which can be regarded as a kind of reward for him, right?" When she said this, a gust of wind blew by, and her hair was raised in a lingering manner, so light and elegant, not like ordinary dust.

"You haven't told me yet, how did you know about it?" Li Jiu's current concern has begun to change in Klang, because this matter is not a simple matter for the entire grassland. It is about the safety of the future owners of the steppe!

Rong Yan's face still had such an indifferent expression, and she said lightly, "Your Highness Li Jiu, do you think that no one will talk to me about this matter except you?" ”

"So, I'm not the first person to come to you about it?" When Li Jiu saw her with such a lightweight demeanor, his heart suddenly quieted down, and he didn't have the irritable mood just now.

It's really an amazing thing, he thought to himself.

Bent one leg against the trunk of the tree, changed to a more comfortable position and stood against the tree, squinting at her, "I think I also know who the person who came to you is." ”

Rong Yan smiled lightly and nodded, "That's right, Your Highness's estimate is very right." ”

Neither of them said anything, but at the same time they both gave each other a tacit look.

Last night, the night after Rong Yan just woke up, her dormitory was gently knocked, and the person who came was wearing a red traditional grassland costume, with a hollow peony embroidered with gold wire, a fiery phoenix, and a lively head on the top of her head, there was a pair of horn-like hairpins, and a pair of half-moon-shaped jade bi tightly attached to her hair bun, of course, the appearance of this costume still relied on Li Shi to tell her little maid one by one, and I remember that after she listened to it, I feel that this woman is wearing a zongzi that only appears during the Dragon Boat Festival.

However, it is such a Dragon Boat Festival zongzi, but it is the married wife of His Royal Highness the Great Prince on this grassland, to be exact, it should be said that this woman is not only a other woman, but also a sister-in-law who is worried about her little uncle.

That's right, this woman has a lot of meaning to Li Shi, after she left, according to the description of the clever little maid, this eldest lady should have had a marriage contract with the Fourth Highness in the past, but I don't know why, the Fourth Highness didn't like her very much, so after she quickly ended the painful process of being repented by the Fourth Highness, she quickly married His Royal Highness the eldest prince who had been coveting her at an incredible speed, and became the eldest lady, and everyone respectfully called her "Big Lady." ”

This is the honor and status given to her by the grassland, last night, this woman used this honor and status very wisely, embedded it in her bedroom through a secret method, and analyzed how the current situation is in crisis to her, and at the same time secretly reminded her that Li Xi was about to collapse on a large scale, and was about to retreat, in the battle with the second prince, because of her appearance, it became his biggest stumbling block and concern, and he had wasted the best time and luck on her.

All in all, this woman was stabbing her sideways, and even before leaving, this eldest lady left a note of 1,000 taels of gold for her to leave the grassland with the money and leave Li Shi, or the kind of departure that the farther away the better.

"You've probably seen this kind of thing, too." Rong Yan took out a neatly folded piece of paper from her arms and handed it to Li Jiu, because of his eyes, Li Jiu hurriedly walked over and took the note, opened it, and was startled, "This ...... Isn't this the silver ticket of Huitong Bank? ”

Looking at the numbers on it again, it made him feel even more incredible, "A thousand taels of gold? ”

"You have so much money there?" He asked in surprise.

"It's strange, although I don't need a penny at all now, but someone has to give me this money, what can I do? To be honest, I'm not that interested in the money she gave me, I'm just interested in ...... I'm very interested in the stories she told me. Rong Yan rubbed the corners of her skirt and said.

"She gave you this money to ask you to leave, right?" Li Jiu smiled helplessly, his sister-in-law's thoughts, except for his honest eldest brother, everyone on the grassland could see it clearly.

"yes, that's the money I've used to settle down since I left here." She also laughed, as if she thought this thing was funny, but then the smile on her face quickly condensed, "I know what happened to Li Xi from her words, but it is not detailed, I want you to tell me in detail, what kind of trouble he encountered at that time, okay?" ”

"After all, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is the only way to win a hundred battles. Isn't it? ”

"The fourth brother probably really didn't misunderstand you, Miss Rongyan, you are very righteous, this kindness, I will write you first instead of my fourth brother." Li Jiu bowed to the end. "However, you and I probably can't get involved in this matter."

"Oh? The more you say that, the more curious I become, the more I wonder what this is all about. ”

"Father Khan, he has always loved the fourth brother very much, and has always valued him very much, so that people feel that after a hundred years of the old overlord of this grassland, the fourth brother will smoothly inherit his throne and ascend to the throne." Li Jiu seemed to start a memory, and said slowly, "It is precisely because of this that the tree is very popular, and the fourth brother has become a thorn in the side of several other brothers, a thorn in the flesh, and they always want to get rid of him to let themselves inherit the unification." ”

"This is the disadvantage and ugliness of being born in the family of the emperor." Rong Yan smiled, she didn't know if she should be secretly glad that she was fortunate to have been ruined by someone at this time.

"And, more importantly, Father Khan's physical condition is not ideal now, probably in these days." Li Jiu sighed faintly, looking up at the blue sky, with endless sorrow, "It seems that in this way, the sky of the grassland will change color, and there will be no such peaceful time in the morning." ”

"Just half a month ago, do you remember when he greeted us halfway? At that time, the second brother had already sent someone to assassinate us, but he didn't want our caravan to be targeted by a gang of gangsters, and as a result, they didn't have such a good opportunity to attack. ”

"It was a real mistake." Rong Yan sighed and asked, "So, it was Li Shi who learned that you were in danger at that time, so he rushed to save you in such a hurry?" ”

"Yes, exactly."

"It seems that your brother's relationship is really good."

"However, I can't help at such a critical time, I have been in charge of running some taverns and tea shops to hoard some money, so that the fourth brother can develop his own power and team, but ......"

"But the Great Qi Kingdom blocked the trade exchanges between Xiliang and the Great Qi Kingdom half a year ago, making the business of your wine shop and tea house much worse than before, so that the money that Li Xian's hands can control is getting less and less, and to let his own team operate, money is absolutely indispensable, right?" She turned her head, saw the treetops on the tree swaying in the wind, and closed her eyes, "Your Highness the Nine, do you know that sometimes, some money is not earned by serious means?" ”

Li Jiu's eyes moved slightly, and he asked rhetorically, "What are you talking about?" Can you elaborate on that? ”
