"Impossible!" Huali immediately retorted: "Family affairs are family affairs, state affairs are state affairs, King Rong has no grievances with you, why bother you deliberately?" Besides, even if King Rong wants to embarrass you, the king will never agree to the diplomatic relations between the two countries. ”

Seeing the decisiveness of what the other party said, Xiao Man didn't refute, but asked, "Why did King Rong do this?" ”

Does his presence threaten his position? Or does King Rong have a grudge with Hao Yixuan? So you have to stop yourself from cooperating with them, so that you can block their way to make money? But it's not right to think so, Hao Yixuan is already the most prestigious ready-to-wear shop in the city, if King Rong has a grudge against them, why would he let them develop like this?

Xiao Man, who was counting on Hua Li to answer his doubts, looked up at the other party, but unexpectedly, Hua Li looked puzzled, obviously not knowing all this.

"Well...... I don't know. Holley lost his previous confidence and sat down.

Xiao Man sighed, thought about it, and suddenly thought of the other side: "Huali, who was responsible for buying grain, vegetables, and some fabrics and other things before?" ”

Hua Li was a little confused, he didn't expect the other party's problem to change so quickly, he couldn't help but be stunned for a while, before he reacted, "These have always been in charge of General Cha, he was stationed at the border all the year round in the early years, and later returned to China after the king ascended the throne, because he was quite familiar with the border, so the king asked him to be in charge of these affairs." ”

"Then what is the relationship between this General Cha and King Rong?" Xiaoman asked again.

Hua Li didn't understand at first, but now when he heard Xiao Man's question, he got goosebumps all over his body, his eyes widened, and then he stepped forward and whispered in surprise: "Are you suspicious, General Cha and King Rong colluded?" ”

If everything goes smoothly and successfully for Xiaoman, then General Cha's rights will definitely be reduced, so at the moment, the only person who is most afraid of Xiaoman's success is this General Cha.

But before this General Cha made a move, King Rong was in a hurry to jump out to stop him, and anyone would link General Cha and King Rong together.

Holley has been doing business in Bei'an for so many years, and he was fortunate to have the trust of the king before, so he was able to go to Donglan to find merchants who could cooperate, so how could he not understand Xiaoman's words. He frowned solemnly, and slowly sat back in his place, silent for a long time.

"No matter what, the most important thing at the moment is to rescue the He family from King Rong's hands." Xiao Man sighed, put away the paper ball, got up and said, "Huali, I ask you to do me a favor, is it okay?" ”

The other party was still in shock, and he hadn't reacted yet, and he didn't even hear Xiaoman's words.

Obviously, this incident really stimulated Huali. After all, in his impression, King Rong is an idle prince who is greedy for enjoyment, and has never been involved with the people in the court, and now that he has glimpsed King Rong's ambition just through such a small thing, how can he calm down in a short time?

"Holley." Xiao Man raised his voice and called again: "I want to ask you to do me a favor, is it okay?" ”

Hua Li suddenly came back to his senses, rubbed up, was stunned at first, and then reacted, "You say." ”

"I want to invite you into the palace to find out what the king is talking about." After finishing speaking, Xiao Man pursed his lips and looked at each other with a determined expression.

"You... You, how can I probe the king's mouth! Hua Li couldn't calm down anymore, he walked around the house a little anxiously, scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously, and muttered: "Everyone knows that the king trusts King Rong the most, and what am I?" Do you think the king will believe me, or will he believe in King Rong more? This will not work, this will definitely not work, the king will definitely detect something! ”

Xiao Man grabbed the other party, forced the other party to stop, and said undoubtedly: "You must go!" Otherwise, you can help me find out Li Lin's tone, in short, there are only these two choices. ”

"What about you? What are you doing? Holley asked.

"Wang Shang or Li Lin, you choose one, and I choose the rest of the person." Xiao Man said solemnly.

When things came to this, Holley also knew that he had no way back, he clenched his palms, and thought to himself: I have to face all this! Could it be that he is not as good as Xiaoman? Whether it's Wang Shang or Li Lin, he's out of the way!

After weighing for a long time, Huali gritted his teeth and his heart was horizontal: "Okay! Then I will go into the palace and find the king. ”

Just do it, the two of them are ready to do it, Xiaoman has nothing to tell each other, after all, compared to himself, Huali is the person who is most familiar with the country and the king, and Huali knows better than himself about those reverse scales on the king.

Waiting for Hua Li to leave, Xiao Man struggled in the study for a long time, then slowly tidied up his clothes, walked to the door and opened the door of the study, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Prepare the horse, I want to go to the Guard Commander's Mansion." ”

So far, one of the things that Xiao Man is most fortunate about is that he didn't let He Miao go to Hao Yixuan with him this morning, otherwise according to his temper, he would definitely make a fuss at that time, and he and Hua Li would not be able to come back so easily.

According to Mrs. He's reaction, Xiao Man could also guess that there was definitely someone from King Rong in the house at that time, otherwise Mrs. He would not have taken that opportunity to stuff the paper ball to herself, but at the same time, it also meant that Hao Yixuan and the He family had been secretly monitored by King Rong's people.

"Ma'am, the carriage is ready." Pearl stepped forward and said.

Xiao Man nodded, her eyes looked into the distance, with a hint of sorrow between her eyebrows, she said, "Is He Miao still in the backyard?" ”

Pearl was a little puzzled, but still responded obediently: "Back to Mrs. Hui's words, He Miao has been waiting for the news of the cooperation between Mrs. and Hao Yixuan, and has not left the house, do you want to see him now?" ”

Although she knew that Hao Yixuan failed to accept Mrs. Ao's cooperation, she didn't know the deeper meaning, so when she heard Xiao Man ask He Miao, Pearl thought that Mrs. was going to call He Miao so that the other party could persuade his parents to accept the cooperation.

But Xiao Man shook his head, "Optimistic about He Miao, you must not let him out of the house, let alone let him know about the rejection of cooperation, you know?" ”

"Yes, the slave knows."

Xiao Man's gaze retracted from a distance, landed on Pearl's body, and sighed leisurely, "Go out with me." ”

The county lord's mansion selected by Zhang Shangqi is located on a very quiet street in Bei'an City, and on this street, there are many important ministers in the court, including the Hubu Shangshu, the Anning County Lord's Mansion, General Wang, etc., and of course, the king's companion and friend, the current guard commander - Li Lin.

After getting into the carriage and walking for less than a quarter of an hour, the carriage stopped, and the coachman reminded: "The county lord, the commander's mansion has arrived." ”

Xiao Man got out of the carriage, and Pearl walked to the door and handed over the prayer post, but after a while, a small servant came down and said, "The county lord is invited." ”

Smoothly entered the Commander's Mansion, and saw Li Lin again, until she sat in the main hall of the Commander's Mansion, Xiaoman's nervousness poured out, making her clenched palms break out in a lot of cold sweat, and her expression was slightly unnatural.

Li Lin, who was sitting in the lower seat, saw all this very clearly, and couldn't help laughing: "The county lord suddenly visited, is there anything urgent?" ”

"I don't have anything important, but I just think that Lord Li has visited me in the post house, and I haven't visited Master Li yet, so I took advantage of my free time today to pay a special visit." Xiao Man clenched his sweaty palms and slowly retracted them into his wide sleeves so as not to be noticed by outsiders.

"I heard that the county lord has been studying the greenhouse, and the town prince is also raising wild animals in the suburbs, so logically speaking, shouldn't he be very busy? Why are you free today? Li Lin didn't answer, still asking with a smile.

Xiao Man secretly took a deep breath, trying to show her smile perfectly, she looked at the hall with slightly lowered eyes, and said, "Lord Li is guarding Miyagi, I didn't expect to be so clear about my recent movements, but it really surprised me." ”

To be honest, Li Lin and Wang Shang are close friends, and he stays in the palace on weekdays, so it stands to reason that it is nothing to know this, but Xiao Man deliberately asked this, but he just questioned casually, wanting the other party to panic first, so as not to expose his nervousness.

But unexpectedly, instead of being nervous after Li Lin heard these words, he said with a smile: "County Lord, who doesn't pay attention to the movements in your mansion in this turmoil?" Whether or not you can grow vegetables in your greenhouse is a matter for many people. ”

"What Master Li said made me even more confused, why, just a few vegetables, can it still be related to the fate of others?" Xiao Man leaned over slightly, frowned, and asked pretending to be puzzled.

Li Lin couldn't help laughing a few times when he heard this, got up a few steps forward, and suddenly changed his serious expression: "The county lord came today, isn't it because someone is blocking the county lord, and the county lord doesn't know what to do, so he can only come to me for help?" ”

Hearing this, Xiao Man was stunned for a moment, and then sat up straight again, turning his face away and not speaking.

At this point now, although Li Lin and Wang Shang are good friends, after all, the king loves King Rong the most, and Xiao Man can't tell whether Li Lin is an enemy or a friend, so he simply doesn't speak.

Seeing this, Li Lin coughed lightly, turned around and returned to his seat, and made a gesture to make all the people in the room retreat, and then said: "Don't worry, the county lord is wholeheartedly for the lord, and there is no second heart, if the county lord has any difficulties, even if it is, after all, we are all doing things for the king." ”

Xiao Man tightened the cuffs of her clothes, almost moved by the other party's words, but just as she was about to explain the matter and the plate, the light of reason in her mind flashed, and she swallowed the words that came to her lips and replaced them with another sentence: "Lord Li, what if what I said about this matter is related to the king?" ”

"The king invited the county lord, the purpose is to let the county lord come to Canglan to help, if the county lord is blocked in the process, whether it is related to the king or not, the king will definitely help."
