"Prince Mingxiu actually protected Liang Lu to such a point?" Facing the waitress who came to pass the word in front of him, Xichu Lu Ning looked very shocked, and said with some annoyance: "Are these two Da Liang people too much, and they actually manage my Western Chu state affairs to such a point......

Facing Xi Chu Lu Ning, who was anxiously pacing back and forth, the maid bowed slightly, "The palace master said that now he has a sensitive identity in the palace, and he is afraid that it is not appropriate to leave any handle for the eldest princess and her party, so this matter can only be handed over to the prince to deal with it with full authority." ”

Xichu Luning stopped, sat on the chair as if he was weak, and rubbed the corners of his aching forehead with his hands, "It was said that this king would deal with it, but he made things so troublesome, how should this king deal with it?" ”

The maid was dumbfounded, and after a while, Xichu Lu Ning waved her hand and said, "This king knows, you can step down." ”

The waitress replied in a low voice, and then quietly retreated, leaving Xichu Lu Ning alone to sit in the midst of the candle flames, frowning.

At this time, a black-clothed maid walked in from outside the door, "Lord, what do you command?" ”

Xichu Lu Ning suddenly raised his head, and looked at the maid in front of him with some hesitation, "You...... When I went to the pawnshop in the east of the city, I said that the king needed a piece of unicorn jade pendant, and if it was bloody, he asked the shopkeeper to come over in person. ”

The maid replied in a low voice, turned to leave, and after a while, she returned, followed by a middle-aged man with a straight figure, this man was dressed in coarse linen clothes, with a huge straw hat, the edge of which covered half of his face, revealing only a knife-like chin, and a pair of pale thin lips, which were now hooking a strange arc.

The waitress sent the person to the house, then turned around and retreated, Xichu Lu Ning raised his eyes and looked at the person in front of him fixedly, as if waiting for him to speak first.

After a long time, the man lowered his head, and a slightly hoarse voice came out from under the straw hat: "The prince called the little one over so urgently, but did you want that jade pendant?" ”

Xichu Lu Ning looked at the man in front of him with gloomy eyes, "This king took that jade pendant, what good is it?" ”

"Benefits?" The man suddenly laughed, and a weird laugh came out from under the straw hat, "Buying and selling, what you like and I want is buying and selling, if the prince is sincere, this jade unicorn is naturally the prince's, if the prince doesn't want it, the small one will transfer this thing to others, and besides, how does the prince know that if this jade unicorn is sold to others, he will not get a better harvest?" ”

Xichu Lu Ning's face suddenly became a little gloomy, and she pursed her red lips and said softly: "Are you threatening this king?" ”

A chuckle came from under the brim of his hat, "Naturally, I can't say anything about the threat, it's just that the prince ...... You need this jade unicorn very much, right? ”

As if he had been poked in the heart, Xichu Lu Ning sat down on the chair again, his eyes were full of eyes and looked at the man in front of him, as if he wanted to see something else through the brim of the hat that almost covered his entire face, "Do you have a way to let Prince Mingxiu and the Wushuang County Lord go back to Daliang earlier?" ”

The atmosphere was silent for a while, and the straw hat man choked a slight smile and said softly: "Naturally, there is a way, just see what the prince can give me." ”

Xichu Luning looked up at the straw hat man, "What do you want?" ”

"What I want......" The pair of pale thin lips hooked a meaningful arc, "The prince will naturally understand." ”

At this moment, an angry roar suddenly came from the roof, "Stop! ”

Xichu Lu Ning's face was shocked, if the things they were discussing now were known by others, I am afraid it would be even more troublesome, Mo said that Liang Lu's appearance made the Gao Chen Palace Master in the palace fall into a passive situation, and now Xichu Lu Ning is not it?

Prince Da Liang and the unequaled county lord have been intervening in this invisible battle since they entered Western Chu, which is called Western Chu Lu Ning's grass and trees are all soldiers......

Seeing Xichu Lu Ning's panicked face, the straw hat man suddenly laughed, he turned around and walked towards the door, his voice falling lightly, "Don't worry, if this person is a spy sent by the enemy, why can't he be used by us?" ”

"Are you going to ......" Looking at the back of the straw hat man, Xi Chu Lu Ning looked stunned as if she remembered something, and after a while, she let out a long sigh, "Fortunately, it's not too late." ”

……

In the palace, in the palace of the eldest queen, Chu Nian looked at the dark three who was dragged back by the dark one and frowned slightly, the Ming Xiu on the side also had a bad face, and the West Chu Yue Ling looked at the dark three in front of him curiously.

When she saw the face of the originally unconscious dark three, sometimes entangled and happy, and sad, her face turned pale, "This is ...... Magic? ”

Chu Nian nodded lightly, closed his eyes, and waved his subordinates on the dark three sides, and the dark three suddenly opened his eyes wide, as if he had woken up from a nightmare, cold sweat was dripping from the corners of his forehead, and after he saw the environment around him clearly, he said blankly: "I, what's wrong with me?" ”

Dark One helped Dark Three to sit down on the chair next to him, and then raised his eyes to look at Chu Nian, "Lady, we were originally eavesdropping on the roof of West Chu Luning, but we ran into a maid, originally we could have escaped, who knew that Dark Three suddenly fell." ”

Chu Nian frowned slightly, turned her eyes and glanced at Ming Xiu, seeing that the other party's complexion was really not good, she turned her eyes to look at Dark One and Dark Three again, "Before Dark Three fainted, did you meet anyone?" ”

The dark one seems to be stuck in a memory.

"At that time, Dark San fainted on the ground, I was going to go over to save him, but I didn't have time, Dark Three was taken down by the maid, but no one chased me anymore, I was about to ambush in the Four Princes' Mansion, as a result, Dark Three was thrown out, and when he was thrown out, this was the state."

"There are also illusionists in Xichu Luning's mansion?" Xi Chu Yue Ling frowned and looked at Chu Nian.

Chu Nian nodded lightly, "It seems, it's true, but I don't know ......" She looked at the still dazed Dark San, "What do you have in your illusion?" ”

"I'm in the illusion ......" Dark San lowered his head and pressed the corner of his aching forehead, "There is nothing but Mei Xiang, oh yes, there are also things we have experienced together, like a marquee again, I thought I was dead......"

He patted his chest decently, "Fortunately, fortunately, ......"

At this moment, Dark Er and Dark Four, who had been standing quietly on the side, glanced at each other suspiciously, and saw Dark Four Dao: "If Xichu and Lu Ning have arrested the third brother, why do you want to release people?" ”

"For a warning?" Xichu Yue Ling frowned, "It's the illusionist who is warning you, don't meddle in Xichu's affairs?" ”

Ming Xiu pursed her lips slightly, looking at Chu Nian who was pacing to his side, at this time, Chu Nian was pinching her chin and pacing back and forth in the room, not knowing what she was thinking, after a while, she suddenly raised her head and said, "I'm afraid, it's not just a warning?" ”

Everyone in the room looked at each other with puzzled faces, and then saw Chu Nian continue: "If you use illusion to ask all the things that the dark three know, it is not impossible......"

Xi Chu Yueling's face suddenly changed, and she looked at Dark San inquiringly, "Isn't that everything we did, the other party is clear?" But everything we know about Xichu Lu Ning now is still just speculation......"

Chu Nian pursed her lips, she looked up at the dark third with a frozen face, "This doesn't have much impact, right now, as long as we find evidence, and then push the affairs of Gao Chen's family and Xichu Luning to the table, what Xichu Luning has done over the years will fall short." ”

Originally proud of picking up a small life, Dark San was like a frosted eggplant at the moment, he lowered his head and said in a low voice: "It's the negligence of his subordinates......"

Chu Nian shook his head, "I don't blame you. ”

"Then now, is the other party Qinghe's forces or ......" Ming Xiu's eyes flashed slightly and looked at Chu Nian, as soon as these words came out, Chu Nian's face was also stunned.

It is unlikely that it is Dark Rin, after all, Dark Rin is still recuperating from his injuries at the moment, and Xichu is the main battlefield of Qinghe, if Qinghe's people make a move...... When they were in Da Liang, Xi Chu also wanted to control the entire Da Liang by controlling the King of Huainan, and in Xi Chu, what they wanted to control was Lu Ning of West Chu as the fourth prince?

If it is true, it is not impossible, after all, the Daliang court is not united enough now, and the strength of the King of Huainan is still a little worse than that of Western Chu Lu Ning, who controls almost half of Western Chu, if Qinghe wants to use Western Chu Lu Ning to control the entire Western Chu, it is not impossible to achieve.

Chu Nian's expression became serious, if the other party was really Qinghe, then the matter would be much more troublesome, compared to Dark Rin alone, Qinghe's power was much stronger than Dark Rin, although he had not seen Qinghe really make a few moves so far, but Chu Nian believed that Qinghe was just waiting.

Wait for the sandpiper and clam to fight.

Think about the current situation...... If Xichu Lu Ning won the control of the throne in the future, then the war between Xichu and Da Liang would definitely be a matter of time, and now Da Liang has long been crumbling because of internal decay, and there are barbarians who continue to attack, if Da Liang and Xi Chu clash again, then Da Liang, no matter how strong the national strength is, I am afraid it will be just a thousand miles of embankment destroyed in the anthill.

Xichu Luning must not be allowed to seize the throne.

Chu Nian suddenly raised his head and looked at Ming Xiu, "Your Highness, I'm afraid that our trip to Western Chu will be a little longer." ”

Ming Xiu's eyes were slightly downcast, and he nodded slowly, and saw Xi Chu Yue Ling on the side quickly understood what Chu Nian was thinking, "What are we going to do now?" ”

Hearing this, Chu Nian pondered for a while, and said softly: "First ask Mr. Liang and Lu Cheng Haosheng to study the Ice Water Heavenly Clothes, in the face of illusions, the Ice Water Heavenly Clothes are the most important right now, and then ......."

She turned her gaze to the dark three and others on the side, "You only need to protect Mr. Liang's safety these days, and you don't need to worry about the safety of me and His Highness." ”

The dark guards looked up at Ming Xiu, who was expressionless, nodded in unison, and saw Chu Nian turn his gaze to West Chu Yue Ling again, "About West Chu Lu Ning......"

"That's right, lady." Darkly spoke, "We haven't learned nothing from this trip, and we've heard something meaningful. ”

Chu Nian frowned slightly, and then saw that the dark one continued: "The two of them have been playing dumb riddles, what they are talking about, their subordinates don't understand it too much, but it's probably a transaction. ”

Chu Nian nodded, there was naturally a deal between the illusionist and the powerful people of Western Chu.

"Xichu Lu Ning seems to have something to do with the palace master of Gao Chen, but as for what the relationship is...... The subordinates haven't heard it yet, and they just look very close. ”

Chu Nian's face was stunned, and after a moment, her red lips suddenly hooked up a curvature, "This is great news." ”

As she spoke, she turned her eyes to look at Xi Chu Yueling who was stunned on the side, "This matter will be handed over to Her Royal Highness to investigate, and you must find out the evidence between the two, okay?" ”
