Chapter Eighty-Eight: Missteps
On the way, the moon had not spoken, and some cold moonlight made this somewhat petite body extremely weak.
Qin Feng and Qi Bai glanced at each other, and Qin Feng opened his mouth and asked, "Childe, what is the purpose of the third prince inviting us to come here today?" ”
At the beginning of the month, he stopped, smiled, looked up at the moon in the sky, and said helplessly: "Looking at us now, it is not only Da Chu, but also the surrounding countries, whether it is to make friends with Da Chu, or for the development of their own country, they don't want to see our existence", turned to look at the two and said: "The third prince invited us today, not to prove that he wants to cooperate with us, but to sabotage our cooperation with Duanwang, Duanwang is a delicate and suspicious person, if we have close contacts with the three princes, That will inevitably arouse Duanwang's suspicions, thus sabotaging our cooperation with Duanwang."
Qin Feng nodded, pursed his lips a little angrily and said, "That son knows why he still came to the appointment."
"Let's see what kind of medicine he sells in the gourd, and we need a hundred herbs, one more is always more than one way out" The voice of the beginning of the month, with a slight sigh, Qi Bai also shook his head, if it is a simple exchange between the two countries, it is easy to say, but now the purpose is on the hundred herbs, it is really not easy for the princess to plan like this, thinking about it, she looked at the beginning of the month with some admiration.
Sure enough, when the three of them returned to the post house, King Duan and Princess Duan were already waiting, and they didn't show too much surprise at the beginning of the month, so they smiled and naturally stepped forward to salute, and King Duanwang and his wife also hurriedly stood up and returned the salute, looking up and down at the beginning of the month, as if they wanted to find out what was not natural.
At the beginning of the month, he also noticed the inquiring eyes of the two, didn't care, turned around and sat down opposite them, and said with a smile: "Why did King Duan and the princess come over at this time?" ”
Princess Duan looked at King Duan, and said to the moon with a smile: "We have nothing to do, I want to see if you are still used to it, so late, where are you wandering around?" ”
At the beginning of the month, she smiled in her heart, knowing where she went, and still pretending to be here, she really lived up to the rumors from the outside world. At the beginning of the month, he didn't plan to hide the matter of seeing the third prince today, since he would know sooner or later, it was better to say it himself, it seemed more frank, since he said that he wanted to cooperate, it was better not to cause a lot of right and wrong. "I don't know why the third prince knew that I had come to Western Xia and invited me to come and sit."
The couple glanced at each other, and King Duan nodded and said, "I don't know what the third prince and the princess said?" ”
"I didn't say anything, just gossip," replied at the beginning of the month.
"Why are the princess and the third prince so familiar?" Duan Wang continued to ask, his tone quite questioning.
At the beginning of the month, he knocked on the fan in his hand, frowned slightly, and said: "It's not enough to be familiar, for the sake of your own interests, anyone will care, right?" didn't give them a chance to ask questions again, and immediately after the beginning of the month, he said: "I don't know if Princess Duan told King Duan what I and my prince meant last time, and I don't know what King Duan is thinking about now?" ”
Duanwang just looked at the moon for a few seconds quietly, and the woman in front of him made him feel terrible, this is a feeling of precaution that he has never felt for so many years, especially from a woman, but even so, this deal must be done. Thinking about it, King Duan laughed out loud, nodded at the moon and said, "It's a great honor for King An to choose us as an ally."
The meaning of the words couldn't be clearer, the beginning of the month was actually very confident in himself, because the current Duanwang has no other way to go, and when he is cornered, even if it is a rugged road, he hopes that there will be light at the end, and he is obviously his only choice now. At the beginning of the month, he didn't plan to talk about any more conditions, and said lightly: "Okay, then the second emperor sister should also tell King Duan, I want a hundred herbs, I don't know when King Duan can give it to me."
Duan Wang was a little embarrassed, hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you have to have a hundred herbs?" But there are other requirements, I must ......."
At the beginning of the month, he waved his hand and interrupted King Duan's words and said, "King Duan, I said that if I want a hundred herbs, it must be a hundred herbs, and there is no room for negotiation about this."
King Duan smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Okay, okay, I know, this is not an ordinary thing, please give me two more days."
"Okay, a word is a decision, then we'll see you in two days" The beginning of the month stood up and made a salute, there was a great posture of sending off guests, Duanwang and his wife were not good to say anything, they returned a salute and turned around and walked to the door, just walked to the door, I heard the voice of the beginning of the month from behind me: "I will definitely want this hundred herbs, there will always be a way, even if I turn over Xixia, I will find it", the two turned around, and saw the beginning of the month and the two people around them talking, but they also understood in their hearts that this was for themselves.
In the next two days, the beginning of the month was quite idle, there was no news of the third prince, and there was no news of the Duanwang, sitting in the guest room on the third floor, there was wind blowing in from the window, blowing up the hair at the beginning of the month, reaching out and touching his lower abdomen, slightly raised, with a gentle smile on his face, and said to himself: "I don't know if you came at the right time, and I don't know if my mother can protect you", "Are you a girl?" I haven't given you a name yet, so what's the best thing to call you? "Why don't you give me a nickname first......"
There was a knock at the door, which pulled the moon back from her gentle reverie, tidied up her clothes, and shouted to the door: "Who is it?" ”
Qi Bai's voice sounded at the door and said, "Childe, there's news from Chu Jing's side."
At the beginning of the month, I hurriedly opened the door to let people in, and asked a little anxiously: "How is it, you speak slowly".
Qi Bai had a somewhat uneasy look on his face, hesitated for a moment and said, "There is news from Da Chu, it seems that the emperor really intends to marry Princess Enrou?" ”
"What?" The person who was sitting on the chair just now stood up again, looked at Qi Bai in disbelief and said, "How can this be? Is he crazy? ", Is the emperor crazy, how could Qi Bai know, it's just that this matter is really a bit beyond the plan at the beginning of the month, I thought that this matter might lead to the estrangement between the three princes of Xixia and the emperor, the emperor thought that Xixia was arrogant, and the emperor would not agree to this family affair no matter what it was for Enrou or Da Chu, so Xixia would feel that Da Chu looked down on Xixia, so although it didn't affect too much, but the purpose of disgusting people in the middle could still be achieved, but I didn't expect it, The emperor will acquiesce in this family business.
