"Bet on what?" Wen Lan saw that Cheng Ziyu was too calm and was bored, but at this moment she suddenly proposed to make a bet, and Wen Lan suddenly became interested.

Cheng Ziyu thought for a while and said:

"If I win, your favor today won't count. You helped me in Zhu Qi's matter, and I arranged for you to see Zhu Wu today, and you and I are still even.

If I lose, then I owe you a favor, and I will do as you wish. When the time comes, what do you want Wen Qing to do, what I listen to you is, how you want to fix her, you can also have full control, how about it? You won't lose anything. ”

"It's a deal!" Vinland craned her head. "But that's right, you can't report to Li Chun in advance."

"Don't worry, it won't."

Cheng Ziyu suddenly had a bad taste. "Moreover, I will go to the Queen Mother early tomorrow morning to say goodbye, since Wenqing can't see me well, and she looks down on me so much, then I should see with my own eyes what good results she can get when she is full of ambition."

If Li Chun can't solve it well, it won't be too late for her to make a move.

"That's right." Wen Lan covered her mouth and smiled, "Then, Wen Qing's girl, I will hand it over to you husband and wife." I won't make any specific requests, and let me see your combat effectiveness. Don't disappoint me, take care of you. ”

Cheng Ziyu glared at Wen Lan.

Optimistic about their combat effectiveness?

Wen Qing is a Korean princess, she can't be killed, scolded, or humiliated, and it's not easy to deal with. At this time, if you make a big fuss, you can't provoke the emperor? How else can you fight?

And listening to Wen Lan's description just now, Wen Qing is an ambitious person who can also jump. Wherever such a person is placed, it is a curse.

This is clearly a hot potato.

What a problem! The best way is to ask the king of Joseon to bring Munkyung back to North Korea. But Wen Lan will re-enter the quagmire because of Wen Qing, and I don't know if the ending will be a blessing or a curse in the future, if Wen Lan is fighting and Wen Qing retreats, it seems that it is too cheap for her......

Wen Lan saw that Cheng Ziyu was silent, and laughed.

"Got a problem, right? Why don't you go to the Queen Mother tomorrow to say goodbye? When the time comes, let's walk around together? If you don't know how to start, let's talk about it later? ”

"It's fine. The Queen Mother has been busy lately and won't keep me, what I have is time. ”

As he was talking, Li Chun finished talking.

Under Wen Lan's watchful eyes, in order to ensure the fairness of the gambling contract, Cheng Ziyu could only pass the word and let Li Chun go back first and see you tomorrow.

On the other side, Zhu Changzhe agreed to meet with Wen Lan.

Cheng Ziyu arranged the meeting between the two of them in the pavilion on the rockery. It's both private and avoidable......

Originally, Zhu Changzhe didn't plan to see Wen Lan.

Lao Qi has been by his side for the past few years, and he has always had a plan to train Lao Qi to be his dog.

As a lackey, Lao Qi is basically qualified. At least many things that Zhu Changzhe was inconvenient to come forward for, he arranged them for Lao Qi.

No way, compared to the eldest brother and second brother, he is too weak. The biggest reliance is Kang Amber, but he is thousands of miles away. Therefore, he must be careful to accumulate strength, hide his abilities, and always take precautions. Zhu Changqi is a chess piece in his planning.

Zhu Changzhe understood the truth of Mu Xiu Yulin, so he hid part of his strength on Lao Qi's head.

He has been secretly supporting this seventh brother, so that he can not be high or low. didn't let him rise too much, and didn't let him fall too behind, and took advantage of Lao Qi's preferences to win over many powerful children.

Between dogs and horses, moisturizing things penetrate silently, and one day, the drag of the gentleman may become the biggest taboo of those families. At the critical moment, with the handle in hand, he may be able to successfully grasp those powerful families and evolve them into his own help.

For example, the noble sons and brothers who Lao Qi made good friends with were actually befriended by him. And the reason why he used Lao Qi to calculate Wenlan that day was the same reason.

Who doesn't want such a good pawn in Vinland?

At first, he didn't dare to fight for it, he didn't want to be the target of his brothers' attacks and attention before he was fledgling. Later, he was unwilling to fight, he didn't like her, and he was afraid that she would become his concubine and hinder his future.

But he was reluctant to give up such a good chess piece, so he "sent" the person to Lao Qi. At the same time, he also held the handle of Lao Qi. Kill two birds with one stone.

All he did was to use those chess pieces safely and without leaving any trouble.

In his plan, Lao Qi's power will be used by him one day.

Can......

Lao Qi was destroyed into a dead chess today, so many layouts around Lao Qi are useless.

And Vinland, the chess piece he had already screwed strongly, was suddenly out of control.

He was depressed indeed.

He rarely drinks alcohol, but he and Li Chun drank a lot.

However, the next man came to spread the word that Vinland wanted to see him.

What does this mean?

I heard an hour ago that she had fainted, and she came here so soon? So, this is deliberately looking for yourself?

Zhu Changzhe was curious and unclear, and even a little surprised, could it be that Wen Lan had already learned from Lao Qi that he had calculated her that day?

When he came, he couldn't help but guess and guess. There was a flash of killing intent, if Wen Lan already knew, then was he ready to extinguish his mouth? ……

Vinland smiled and saluted.

"King Zhe has lost a lot of weight. Great work. ”

The greetings of "......" are completely outside the scope of Zhu Changzhe's imagination.

"You have come thousands of miles from the dust, you shouldn't have bothered, but Wen Lan has something to ask for."

Zhu Changzhe smiled. They are completely unfamiliar. Where do you ask for each other?

"Your Excellency is busy, so I'll make a long story short." Vinland saluted again. "I want to beg you to take me." She was concise and to the point.

It was Zhu Changzhe who coughed when he heard the words.

This bend is a bit big to turn down.

His first reaction was anger. How? The seventh is useless, and this tatte is lost? Immediately, he rejoiced. Gains and losses are not here to collect debts.

And he saw that Wen Lan was clearly a lot thinner, as if she would be blown down when the wind blew, but her robe was rolling in the cold wind, but her waist was still straight, and she was full of confidence, which made him a little surprised.

"Why me?"

"One, take care of you. Second, the other princes have more or less enmity with me. Three, I don't think Cheng Ziyu and Li Chun hate you very much, I think I might be able to do the same. I think that's enough. "How did Wen Lan know that she had just been almost included in the assassination list.

"If I reject you, who will you choose?"

"Prince. If you are not counted, he has the least grudge against me. If you refuse tonight, I will ask the emperor tomorrow to make me the crown prince's concubine. You know, the crown prince and the queen have been in need of me lately. But I don't think you want the fire that was finally half extinguished to be reborn into a prairie fire, right? ”

"You're smarter than I thought you were."

"Yes, I believe that what you need is smart people, people who can help you, and my biggest flaw is not what you care about the most. Women, you want as much as you want. As long as the gains outweigh the losses, there are some things that you can turn a blind eye to, right? ”

Zhu Changzhe didn't expect that Wen Lan was serious and spoke reasonably.

"Okay, I'll give you time, you try to convince me." In his heart, he was already interested. But he suddenly wanted to see how much this woman who came secretly and had a big idea had thought about it.

Vinland nodded.

"First, you should know what the help of a subject country means to a prince with a dream. The territory, wealth, and population of Korea are nothing compared to those of the Great Zhou. But what about military, strategic and positional?

In the northeast, outside the Guan, and on the sea, foreign bandits are in trouble, and pirates are rampant, and how important the containment and defense force of Korea is, it is tantamount to the gateway role of the Great Zhou. In addition, my home country has always been the most obedient and loyal among all the subject states of the Great Zhou, and has played an exemplary role for the rest of the subject countries of the Great Zhou. This is also a big reason why the emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty were willing to make friends with Korea.

You should know very well that the current emperor was able to stand out that day, and there was also an indispensable part of my father's credit. My imperial uncle, how can ordinary people call me? Actually, you know this better than me. In fact, just because of that, and without saying anything, you will definitely agree to my request. ”

Wen Lan slowed down, and seeing that Zhu Changzhe did not immediately object, she knew that it was at least half.

"However, I don't know you and me well, so I'm willing to say a few more words. You or just when I want to get you interested. The second point is that I have silver, and I think you should like it too.

My home country is mountainous and rich in specialty and minerals, and although it is not rich enough to be rich, you must have heard of the production of ginseng and Ayutthaya gemstones. These two things are in demand in Dazhou. My father handed over the sale of these two things in the capital to me. Do you know what that means?

Besides, I have a lot of dowries, enough to surprise you, and you will know what they are in the future. After today, your father will compensate me with a dowry, which should be a lot of money. Wealth, do you want it? You nod your head, and I'll give it.

Third, I don't need you to be responsible for me, to put it bluntly, you and I don't need to have sex together. You don't have to be pressured to just think of your relationship as a mutually beneficial partnership. You and I don't talk about feelings. I don't want children, and as long as you don't harm my interests, I won't have any control over you. You are free.

Fourth, you are such a smart person. Must have thought of it. You only need to use a title to get great benefits from the emperor. Tomorrow morning I will raise this matter with the emperor. At that time, you don't have to do anything, just compromise and agree. The emperor will feel sorry for you, will compensate you, will feel that you know the general situation, and your status in the emperor's heart will rise a lot. In addition, after solving my matter, you have done the emperor a great favor, and the emperor has to thank you even more and owe you a favor.

What are these reasons? Is it enough to make you tickle? ”

"It's tempting." Wenlan is honest, and Zhu Changzhe does not hide it. He suddenly felt that he had underestimated Wen Lan before, and Lao Qi was indeed not worthy of her. "Anything else?"

"If you want to hear it, I will say it. But you can't blame me if it's wrong. Because I guessed. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"What else can I do for you...... Containment ......" Wen Lan opened his mouth and gestured with a "Kang Anbo" mouth shape.

Zhu Changzhe squinted instantly.

"You're mistaken."

"Maybe."

"But I said, it's okay to be wrong, you might as well keep guessing."

Vinland burst out laughing. You know, she's right. He was tempted.

"To be honest, your mother and concubine are gone, and this kinship is naturally not so strong. Otherwise, you don't need to be urged to take the daughter of the Zhou family as a concubine, right? That Zhou Jingyi...... It's not worthy of you. Are you annoyed? If you need it, I might be able to help. Make her a wreck, and it will be impossible for that person to use her to control you. I'll also help you make her useless all the time, but she is in her position, so that it is impossible for that person to change chess pieces.

My status is higher than hers, so naturally I can crush her everywhere. When the time comes, I will be rude and willful, and I will carry the pot, are you willing? ”

"Guess as good as the real thing." Zhu Changzhe finally laughed. "I see your sincerity. So, what do you want? ”

"I will help you with all my might, and I only hope that you will not forget your self-dedication to reaching the summit one day. At the very least, you must keep my home country prosperous. That's my only request! ”

Zhu Changzhe was slightly shocked.

"Do you ...... about your own future No requirements? ”

"No need. I don't want to embarrass you. My good life has ended in the previous 16 years, and in the days to come, I just want to do something for my mother country. ”

Zhu Changzhe nodded. He did despise Vinland, but at this moment, he felt that it was time to give her some respect.

There is also a commonality between them, that is: personal interests are ignored or even sacrificed before the great cause behind them. They are all lonely. On the way up, you may be able to be a companion.

"There is no bond without feelings, and one day, maybe we can be friends." Wen Lan actually said Zhu Changzhe's heart.

"One last question. You said that the reason why you chose me is because there is no grudge between you and me, but what if there is a great hatred between you and me in the future? Zhu Changzhe couldn't get rid of that incident in his heart.

"Then we'll talk about it then. When things are at the worst they will mend. If the bond between you and me is deep enough, and the chain of interests is thick enough, then nothing can separate you and me. ”

After a while, Zhu Changzhe laughed. She's right. After she became her own person, she became the dependence of her and her mother country, she was attached to her own vine, with her home country as a constraint, what did she dare to do to herself?

He nodded.

"Well, I'll wait for your news tomorrow. Vinland, you are very good, I hope you have a good cooperation. Zhu Changzhe turned around with a smile.

"Zhu Changzhe, see you tomorrow."

Vinlan breathed a sigh of relief and rejoiced.

"Thank you, Mr. Thanks."

But Zhu Changzhe was taken aback by her again, and almost messed up.

As soon as Zhu Changzhe left, Wen Lan hurriedly got into the carriage and rushed to the post house.

She naturally didn't know that she had been followed from afar.

It wasn't until he saw her climb over the ladder on the wall behind the post house that Zhu Changzhe turned back. Be as cautious as he is, at least confirm with your own eyes whether Vinlan's trip is sincere or a trap......

Vinland's cooperation, let's try it first. Saion lost his horse and lost his seventh child, which may not be a blessing.

Especially when he returned home, he saw Zhou Jingyi facing the door with a fake face, wiping tears with grievances and saying that he was dark and thin, and he suddenly felt that it was still Wenlan's straightforwardness and cuteness.

Vinland vs. Jingyi last week, the odds should be very good, right?

At least, he won't have to pretend to be drunk and stupid to avoid the woman in front of him who is not easy to do in the future.
