Wan Ningzhu strode in the direction of the promised grove.

In the distance, he saw four figures standing in place, anxiously meeting him.

"Wanwan! Are you okay? Lan Hanyan grabbed Wan Ningzhu's hand, extremely concerned.

Wan Ningzhu suddenly felt a pang of guilt in her heart. I already have Lan Hanyan, how can I still be moved by other men?

Those who are destined to fail in this life can only live up to the end!

In this life, love may not stay where it is, it is enough to love.

Wan Ningzhu shook his head slightly, and King Yan immediately said, "You can't stay here for a long time." Without further ado, we'll withdraw right away! ”

Everyone else nodded, everyone turned around, and disappeared into the depths of the grove in an instant.

In a secluded place, five people sat by a small winding river to rest for a while.

Wan Ningzhu asked Shangguan Gouyue, who had calmed down now: "Have they all told you the ins and outs?" ”

Shangguan Gouyue's eyes darkened, nodded, and said, "Miss Wanwan, thank you for saving me!" This palace is a golden cage to others, and even if there is no freedom, it is beautiful and exquisite. But for me, it's hell! Now that my father is gone, I have nothing to be nostalgic for! ”

Wan Ningzhu smiled lightly and said: "You are lucky, you meet a little palace maid who is willing to give up her life for you, she can also be regarded as your confidant!" ”

The others laughed softly, yes, this person's opportunity is so strange, when to meet someone, no one can say!

Wan Ningzhu asked Shangguan Gouyue: "Then do you have any plans?" ”

Shangguan Gouyue glanced at Wan Ningzhu blankly, then at King Yan and said, "I don't know either!" Second brother, when we were in the palace before, we were also the most contacted. However, I am not as capable as you, second brother. I am the most unpromising prince! ”

"You can't say that!" Wan Ningzhu replied with a smile: "You were indeed a little decadent before, but now is the time for you to help your second brother!" You have always been by King Zhao's side, and you know better than anyone else some of his habits and weaknesses! As long as you help your second brother, you can rest assured that he will not treat you badly! Anyway, you don't have anywhere to go now, so why don't you help your second brother? ”

Shangguan Gouyue glanced at King Yan blankly, and King Yan immediately replied: "We are always brothers!" ”

When we last met, King Yan was still the ruler of the palace, and Wan Ningzhu was still the guest of honor in the three Suiwang mansions, and the third sister-in-law in the future.

However, just three years have passed, and King Yan has become the king of Nanzhongshu, while Wan Ningzhu has become an existence above the women of the world, the wife of the Lan family in the Northern Snow Country!

And I seem to have been standing still all the time, and nothing has changed.

Wan Ningzhu glanced at King Yan and asked Shangguan Gouyue: "Fourth prince, I have a few words to ask you!" ”

Shangguan Gouyue nodded and said, "Miss Wanwan, I am no longer the fourth prince, it's better if you call me Gouyue!" ”

"Good! Gou Yue, what is the biggest weakness of this Zhao King? Wan Ningzhu went straight to the point: "Does he have any special hobbies?" ”

Shangguan Gouyue thought for a while and said, "The biggest weakness of the eldest brother is probably suspiciousness, right?" He doesn't seem to trust anyone, he only believes in himself! Including the queen, the queen opened up with him, and he bore so many ups and downs together, he didn't seem to even believe the queen! I don't sleep well every night, as if I have a lot on my mind. As for hobbies, it's probably beauty! He's meatless! ”

Wan Ningzhu glanced at the others and continued to ask: "Over the years, have the ministers in the court supported King Zhao more, or did King Sui have more?" ”

"Basically half and half! There are more dues to support Big Brother! After all, the third brother is decadent! He seems to have become unconcerned about anything, just a person who drinks alcohol! Shangguan Gouyue looked at Wan Ningzhu: "Actually, I don't say the reason, you should guess it!" ”

Zuo Shaotang laughed and said, "Hanyan, you have robbed the goddess of countless men!" ”

Lan Hanyan smiled slightly, some vinegar can be eaten, and some vinegar cannot be eaten casually.

Wan Ningzhu also smiled bitterly, the unexpected encounter with Ouyang Junhe just now made her somewhat resistant to other people's feelings.

The relationship between me and Shangguan Caibai used to be so beautiful and so magnificent.

But who would have predicted that this would be the case?

Not to mention, the probability of success of first love is generally very low, and the chance of success is very small!

"Some time ago, when the third brother went to the Northern Snow Country, his father had an accident, and the eldest brother became the emperor. The third brother seems to be very indifferent to this matter, and after coming back, he quarreled with him and ran away, and there is no news now! It seems to be for the imperial concubine's business, and it doesn't seem to be, anyway, no one knows what they quarreled about that day! Shangguan Gouyue sighed and said: "The departure of the third brother made those courtiers who supported the third brother die, and they had to support the eldest brother to succeed to the throne. Because, the possibility of my succession to the throne is almost zero. ”

Everyone else was silent, and Wan Ningzhu was even more confused.

When Shangguan Caibai told himself that the knife was not stabbed by him but was disguised as him and did it to himself, although it was still difficult to accept this fact in his heart, he and the other party could not go back to the past.

What he said that day was not that he was not touched, but that he really couldn't turn back!

People, the road they have walked, once they have walked it, they really can't turn back.

No matter who was right and who was wrong in the past, there is no going back, there is no way to get it back.

Now, King Zhao has succeeded to the throne, and King Sui has even abandoned the position of the prince, and he doesn't know where he went. Three years ago, who would have predicted that this would be the end?

It's as if everyone can't control their own destiny, no one can.

Shangguan Gou Yue continued: "The eldest brother has been making more and more trouble recently, and there seem to be complaints inside and outside the court. But now that he is the emperor, who dares not to listen to what he says? Some time ago, I occasionally heard other ministers complain that if they continue to collect taxes like this, I am afraid that the merchants will flee en masse! It seems that there are now quite a few merchants who have left Beizhongshu and gone to Dongyue Country or Nanzhongshu or other places. Life is becoming more and more difficult for the farmers! If the poll tax is levied in the next step, I don't know how many people will run. Now a lot of land in Zhongshu is uncultivated, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that the country will not be a country! ”

Wan Ningzhu sneered and said, "With King Zhao's character, of course he will do this!" He was originally a short-sighted man! He didn't know how much he had done! ”

Zuo Shaotang frowned and said, "If this is the case, Beizhongshu's foundation will be very badly lost." It will be a hassle to rebuild in the future! ”

Lan Hanyan said with a smile: "To rebuild this matter, we have an expert here!"

Wan Ningzhu smiled and slapped Lan Hanyan's chest and said, "You give me another errand!" But, then again, nothing is broken! King Yan, when you unify the Zhongshu Kingdom, maybe we really want to establish diplomatic relations! ”

King Yan snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, you can bully me when the time comes, right?" Don't take me for a fool! The Xisha Country is yours, the Northern Snow Country is yours, and once the Dongyue Country is taken by you, I will be surrounded on three sides! If you can't get Nan Weiguo, sooner or later, it will also be in your bag! I'm a nation within a nation! ”

Wan Ningzhu smiled very slyly: "Ah, what's so bad about this?" In my world, there is indeed a country within a state, called the Vatican. Although there are only a few thousand inhabitants in the country, the status is unquestionable and shakable, and it is not an existence that is easily despised! ”

"Alright, don't build me a grand blueprint! Now let's discuss what to do next! King Yan said angrily.

Wan Ningzhu Zhengse said: "King Yan, this is also something I want to discuss with you!" Now in the situation of King Zhao, to be honest, do you think he is still qualified to be your opponent? ”

"What do you mean, let's just say it! We don't have to sell it to each other! King Yan said lightly: "I know that you are a person who keeps your promises, and if you say that you don't swallow me, you won't swallow me!" ”

"Haha, you still know me!" Wan Ningzhu and Lan Hanyan glanced at each other and said, "I think so, I will use part of my forces to press the border of Beizhongshu, harass Beizhongshu, and relieve the pressure on your side." In exchange, you send troops to the border of the Dongyue Kingdom, and attack the Dongyue Kingdom at the same time as me! In this way, attacking from the north and the west at the same time, with the forces of the Southern Patriotic Kingdom involving the Dongyue Kingdom, I don't believe that the Dongyue Kingdom can still free up two hands to the other party! The soldiers in Nanzhongshu are all trained by me, and I know best how much combat effectiveness is! King Yan, I promise you, as long as you help me destroy the Dongyue Kingdom, I will help you subdue the entire territory of the Zhongshu Kingdom! And I don't want you a grain and a spear! I don't want you to get a piece of land! You and I have diplomatic relations, forever is good! ”

King Yan looked at Wan Ningzhu in a daze, his strange red eyes flashing with firmness and belief in victory.

"You should know that the confidence of the Dongyue Kingdom, they have been preparing for this war for many years! These days when I fought with King Zhao, you should know the vitality that was hurt! If Nan Weiguo suddenly turns against the water, I will definitely die! King Yan didn't talk nonsense with Wan Ningzhu, and directly threw out his worries.

Wan Ningzhu smiled slightly: "It's okay, I will increase my troops on the border between Nanwei and Xisha Guo, Nanwei has Zong Xiangyi, he will take care of everything!" ”

Lan Hanyan said lightly: "There are a few people in the world who can be trusted with their lives, one is you, Wanwan, and the other few are my masters and disciples!" ”

Wan Ningzhu reached out to hold Lan Hanyan's hand, and said sincerely: "You are also an existence that I can trust with my life!" ”

King Yan's eyes flickered, he sighed, and said, "Wanwan, I found that since I met you, my life has been at a strange crossroads. Always making a variety of choices! The first time it was the adventure that chose you, and it turns out that I was right! You really have a skill that is different from ordinary people. Then you took the initiative to lead me to all kinds of cumbersome intersections and made various choices for me. Now, it looks like I'm going to gamble again! Wanwan, I believe you! I'm sure you'll keep your promises and keep your vows. Okay, I promise you, I'll help you! After swallowing the Dongyue Kingdom, you must help me recover all the lands of the Zhongshu Kingdom! ”

Wan Ningzhu smiled brightly and stretched out his right hand: "Deal!" ”

Zuo Shaotang and Lan Hanyan glanced at each other, while Yan Wang was depressed, like Ningzhu's face was bright!

Well, it seems that no matter who it is, Wanwan likes to make deals with each other! And the biggest stakeholder of every transaction is always Wanwan!

But she can offer generous terms that you can't refuse, so you can't refuse.

Shangguan Gouyue looked at these four people with a smile, but he sighed in his heart: This is life!
