Late at night, Nangong Chen sat quietly in the flower hall.

The candle flame flickered, shining on his handsome face, but there was a hint of gloom. It was quiet, without the slightest sound, and even the subordinates who were standing in the corner and waiting did not dare to be angry. But at this moment, Nangong Chen's heart began to jump.

When he thought of the benefits after the fact, he almost couldn't help but laugh.

What happened in the court today, everything had already been in his calculations, and watching things develop step by step according to his expectations, Nangong Chen became more and more proud. Although he has endured and restrained for more than ten years, as long as this plan is successful, then he will be above 10,000 people and under 10,000 people.

Even though my father has not agreed to this matter, according to the trend, it will not take long. Just put a little more pressure on you...... The corners of Nangong Chen's mouth slightly raised a cold smile.

At this time, there were footsteps outside, and a henchman pushed the door in, and said respectfully: "Fifth prince, the guest is here." ”

A flash of excitement flashed in his eyes, Nangong Chen also trembled faintly, he stood up with a snort, turned his head to look, and saw a cloaked and short figure standing outside the open door.

Half of his face was covered by a hat, and he couldn't see what it looked like, but the lower part of the exposed part was fair and ready to burst. A red lip is as delicate as a peach blossom, and the tempting person really wants to taste the drink, and at first glance he knows that she is a beautiful woman.

Nangong Chen immediately said, "Please come in, princess." ”

After entering the door, the woman took off her hood, revealing that face was indeed Xiao Ningyu.

The refreshments had already been prepared, Nangong Chen waved his hand, and retreated, leaving only him and Xiao Ningyu in the room.

The flickering candle flame shone on Xiao Ningyu's beautiful face, which made Nangong Chen feel uneasy. Xiao Ningyu turned her head and glanced at him with a slightly sideways face. That Yi Xi showed that she was obviously in a good mood.

"Five princes, how's that? Hongu's plan is good. Xiao Ningyu folded her hands in front of her, her ten fingers were red, and her fingers were white, like a jade carving.

Gently pinching a white jade teacup, she poured a little tea and brought it to her lips, but instead of drinking it immediately, she sent the teacup to Nangong Chen. Nangong Chen paused slightly, then his heart jumped and he understood the meaning.

He took the teacup, drank it in one gulp, and raised his glass to Xiao Ningyu and said, "Cheers, princess." ”

Xiao Ningyu poured another cup and drank it herself, smiling ambiguously and gracefully.

Just a pretended desire to welcome and refuse, it made Nangong Chen's heart more and more hot, he understood that this was Xiao Ningyu's means to him, but he couldn't resist. The woman in front of him is worthy of being the first beauty in Shikoku, and a smile or a little trick makes him itch.

He already had plans to take risks, but Xiao Ningyu had a few words and a thought, and let him turn his hand over and gain the upper hand. wants to bring down his eldest brother and the second child who is not successful, in Nangong Chen's opinion, it is not too difficult now.

"Princess." Nangong Chen looked at Xiao Ningyu with a smile, "What should we do next?" ”

Xiao Ningyu smiled charmingly, stretched out her fingers, and slowly crossed Nangong Chen's face, her voice revealing a hint of laziness and temptation: "Do you still use this palace to say?" The next thing is naturally up to you. Although the palace can ask his father for the 100,000 elite soldiers, he has to rush to Xichu, after all, the road is far away, and it can't be done in three or five days. Before that, everything had to be done by the five princes. ”

He had thought about countermeasures repeatedly before, and Nangong Chen was not surprised.

Since he wants to cooperate with Xiao Ningyu, he also has to show his means and strength. Although he has never been treated by his father and has no power, after all, he has a rich family behind him. Secretly cultivating some dead soldiers, or small forces, he still has the ability.

What's more, now it's just a rumor or a momentum, which is not too difficult. After all, the border pass and the capital are far away, and as long as he operates properly, he will not show any horses at all. Once successful, the future of the entire Xichu will be in his pocket.

Looking at the gorgeous woman in front of him, Nangong Chen clasped her wrist with his backhand and stroked it wantonly: "Okay, princess, don't worry, the palace will arrange it, and it will definitely not disappoint you." But the princess ......."

Nangong Chen's words changed and said: "What the princess said to my father in the court today, this palace seems to be really affectionate." Bengong is a little worried now, what if the princess really doesn't change her mind about Nalan Ye? ”

Withdrawing his hand without revealing a trace, Xiao Ningyu forcibly endured the nausea in his heart, and reluctantly smiled: "Don't the five princes still believe in this palace?" We have already said that today's rhetoric in the palace is just acting, if we don't say that, will His Majesty Xichu believe in this palace? ”

"The princess really doesn't like Nalan Night?" Nangong Chen looked at her with a smile, and he still didn't believe it in his heart.

In the final analysis, he is not so confident after all, compared to Nalan Yelai, he is ashamed of himself. Even though this man may have hurt Xiao Ningyu's heart, when it comes to attractiveness, he can't compare to a horse.

When Xiao Ningyu heard this, her face sank slightly, and her voice was cold: "Since the five princes don't believe it, then there is nothing to say in this palace, everything depends on the facts." ”

If it weren't for the plan, she didn't want to get entangled with this man at all. is full of only those dirty thoughts, if he doesn't have some use value, he won't waste time with him.

Nangong Chen was shocked, thinking that Xiao Ningyu was really angry, and quickly softened: "Don't be angry, princess, I'm just a little worried, after all, I'm really good for the princess." As long as the princess has a heart for me, then why not take risks for the princess? ”

Hearing this, Xiao Ningyu eased up a bit, and smiled a little: "Fifth prince, then please do it as soon as possible." The news we came out of before is a rumor after all, and if you want it to become a reality, you have to do it as soon as possible, or if your father finds out, it will be ......."

Nangong Chen's heart tightened.

Indeed, this is the priority! He must arrange manpower as soon as possible to launch a sneak attack on Nalan Ye's subordinates, pretending to be the army on the Southern Wei side, so that he can be more in danger of Western Chu. With a little pressure, if the father is really worried, then it will be possible for his plan to be realized step by step.

It's just that he can't leak it out, otherwise he will become a sinner in Xichu through the ages.

As the prince of Western Chu, he instead went to murder Nalan Ye and the soldiers of Western Chu, which is tantamount to rebellion!

……

What happened in the court today naturally reached Luo Qingluan's ears.

Nangong Yu was very angry, frowned and said, "Father is really right, he would agree to Xiao Ningyu's request." Knowing that she has ill intentions, it is absolutely impossible for her to be sincere for us Xichu, but why didn't my father see through it? ”

Worried about Nalan Ye's safety, Luo Qingluan didn't expect Xiao Ningyu to say such a thing. If Nalan is safe and sound, then it is understandable that Xiao Ningyu wants to marry him. didn't expect Xiao Ningyu to say so publicly that even if Nalan was not there at night, she would die as a ghost of the Nalan family.

Could it be that she really likes Nalan Ye so much?

And the conditions proposed by Xiao Ningyu, if she is the Emperor of Western Chu, I am afraid that she will not be able to easily refuse.

Xichu is at a time of crisis, if there is Wan's 100,000 troops to help, it will definitely be able to reduce the urgency of coal burning, and fortunately, there is still the possibility of turning defeat into victory. Therefore, at this critical juncture, Luo Qingluan knew that she had to find a way to crack the temptation of Xiao Lingyu's 100,000 elite soldiers. Only by solving this point can she solve Xiao Lingyu's ambitions.

Restraining his restless mood, Luo Qingluan asked, "Second Prince, how is your progress over there?" ”

Nangong Yu turned his head slightly, made a look, and immediately a person came up next to him, put a few ledgers on the stone table in front of him, and then retreated.

Flipping through one of the ledgers and placing them in front of Luo Qingluan, Nangong Yu said: "Princess Chu, you see, this is one of the several semicolons of our Jinxiuzhuang in the five counties of Dongwan and the capital. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to several other ledgers and told Luo Qingluan, including raw silk, salt, tea, rice, wheat, etc., all of which were trade transactions in the last five years. did not go through his Nangong Yu's hands, and all the Dongwan natives who were arranged were responsible, which would definitely not arouse suspicion.

The most important thing, of course, is the three iron mines, and his horse farm in North Vietnam.

The records in the ledger are very detailed, not to mention anything else, just the production of one of the iron ores is also smelted, and it really has an extremely important relationship with Dongwan. The net profit reached two million, not to mention the impact and the other two iron ores.

Luo Qingluan looked at the data on the ledger carefully, compared them one by one, and finally smiled: "The second prince's business over the years has really achieved considerable results, and the income in Dongwan alone can almost be compared to four percent of their own tax burden." If anything changes, I am afraid that it will have a non-negligible impact on the economy of Dongwan Kingdom. ”

Nangong Yu nodded, and said very confidently, "Naturally, it's just that if it's not at a critical time, we generally won't do this." This is all Ziqing's planning and foresight, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of spreading business all over Wan. ”

"Now it's time to do it." A hint of darkness flashed in Luo Qingluan's eyes, "Since Dongwan already has the heart to attack us in Xichu, then naturally there is no need to show mercy to them, I am very curious, once there is an economic problem in Dongwan, will His Majesty Dongguan still have the heart to send these 100,000 elite soldiers." ”

Nangong Yu's heart became more and more admirable, Luo Qingluan was worthy of being the woman Nalan Ye liked, and the two of them thought of it together. Looking at his method, he thought of this day as early as a few years ago, it is definitely a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle, which can make Dongwan suffer a big loss. When the time comes, it will not cost a single soldier, and it will naturally be able to be honest.
