Tu Qitang didn't come early or late, it just so happened that Feng Yan came as soon as he woke up, and Liu Ye couldn't even if he didn't want to doubt him. The instigator behind Esanke, the mysterious master in Qingling's mouth, the knot in Liu Ye's heart can't be opened for a day, and she is always wary of him.

Tu Qitang is still that leisurely appearance, before Liu Ye came, he enjoyed enjoying the flowers and tea with great interest, and he didn't worry about the anxiety and anxiety of his identity being exposed.

Liu Ye walked into the flower hall and saw him looking at him with a smile, his heart suddenly felt bored, and his tone was unconsciously mixed with disgust: "I don't know why His Royal Highness the Prince is here?" ”

Tu Qitang was stunned, although Liu Ye has never had a good face like him, but he is not so rusty, and even calls him His Royal Highness, has she begun to doubt him? Being suspicious, there are usually some suspicious clues that have been discovered, and I am afraid that I am a little uncomfortable if I change to someone else, but Tu Qitang is not an ordinary person from beginning to end!

He stepped forward without changing his face, flattering and cheeky as always: "What, the princess is in a bad mood today, let's hear it, which one of them offended you without a long heart?" ”

Liu Ye glanced at him and said, "Do you mean yourself?" ”

Tu Qitang was ridiculed by her and laughed instead of being angry, laughed heartily, patted the coffee table and said: "Okay, good, I'm the one who doesn't have a long heart." You should be in a better mood now, right? ”

It's not an easy errand to deal with Tu Qitang, when you joke with him, he suddenly tilts his head forty or fifty degrees and plays deeply, you ignore him, he is like a dog skin plaster sticking up, you don't give him a good face, but he is very happy. In short, the structure of the human brain is complex enough that there is no normal response pattern.

Liu Ye didn't want to be verbose with him, so he asked bluntly: "Say, what are you looking for me." ”

"That's right, this is the right lady of the princess I know, you are not those vulgar women, you like to play petty when you have nothing to do, and you expect to be valued by men. In fact, a woman's dignity has never been in a man, but in whether she has the confidence to control everything. Tu Qitang sat beside Liu Ye with a smile, and no matter how many maids around her frowned, admiring her beautiful face as if no one was around.

"Any idea why I like you so much? Because, you're special enough! You never doubt your own charm, you never put any man in your eyes, and if you can conquer a woman like you, that's the pride of being a man. ”

Liu Ye didn't look at him, took a sip of the tea bowl, and said indifferently: "Proud men have one characteristic, that is, they understand that silence is golden. ”

The smile in the corner of Tu Qitang's eyes deepened, and he sipped the tea carefully like her, and said casually: "The assassination of King Dawan was something that no one could have expected, but fortunately, there is a princess, the court has not been affected, and after a hundred days, the prince will be able to inherit the throne smoothly, and the envoy of the Han will follow your will and be optimistic about those princes and nobles with bad intentions." I don't think you have to wait until the prince succeeds to the throne! There are still many countries in the Western Regions, maybe there will be some ridiculous things, if you stay in every place for so long, when you return to Wusun, that grassland still doesn't know what will become! We've been in Dawan long enough, where are we going to go next, does the princess have an idea? ”

Liu Ye really won't wait until the prince succeeds to the throne before leaving, Tu Qitang is right, she traveled around the Western Regions to attract popularity, her main battlefield is in Wusun, and she will go back after all. Tu Qitang urged her to leave, as if he had nothing to do with the assassination of the former king, and he didn't care who would be the king.

Is Tu Qitang the mastermind behind the civil strife in Dawan? Liu Ye was a little shaken, if he was, would he be willing to lose and stop here? The game he carefully laid out was dispersed without getting any benefits, and he could really watch the new king ascend the throne?

Perhaps, he is not aimed at Dawan, perhaps, his ambition is more far-reaching, perhaps, he came to Dahan at the beginning.

Liu Ye thought of many possibilities, but he didn't classify him as an innocent person, Tu Qitang's strength is unfathomable, his own skill is no less than that of a medicine gourd, and he has the support of the Sabbath Dynasty behind him, if he can see through his mind, he can solve it.

"It's your proposal to travel around the Western Regions, you must have planned it a long time ago, isn't it superfluous to come and ask my opinion!" Before Liu Ye finds his exact handle, you might as well see what tricks he has in place.

Tu Qitang smiled self-deprecatingly: "No wonder some people say that women are too smart to attract love, and when men want to make you happy, wouldn't it be cuter to be stupid appropriately!" ”

"I don't need anyone to make me happy, and I don't need to pretend to be cute in front of anyone!" Liu Ye always gradually wore out her patience when talking to him, she put down the tea bowl, looked at him and said, "If you are fine, please go back!" ”

"Look at you, you can't say two sentences and you're in a hurry, how uninteresting it is to talk like this, when will you be able to cultivate feelings?" Tu Qitang saw Liu Ye's displeasure, and then said, "Okay, you have to say that it is not rare to cultivate a relationship with me, I am not poor in my mouth, now I start talking about the right thing, and it is always okay to say the right thing!" ”

Liu Ye didn't say anything, Tu Qitang let out a long breath, drank a few sips of tea to moisten his throat, and said: "Next, I plan to visit Qiuci, as you know, Qiuci is one of the great powers in the Western Regions, and he has dealings with Anxi. I visited the Western Regions on behalf of the royal family this time, and these influential big countries have to be there, as for those small sesame countries, it depends on the time! After all, Princess Xie Wu is the right lady of Wusun, and there is a time limit for going out, but if I don't have your company, I want to go home now, and it's really a chore to maintain my image at all times! ”

"Qiuci ......" Liu Ye has the impression that Qiuci is an ancient country full of art, good at singing and dancing, and I heard that ordinary people can play musical instruments. Not only that, the history of the caves in Qiuzi is even older than the Mogao Grottoes, which feels quite mysterious.

Qiuzi is bordered by Wusun in the north, and the foundry industry is quite developed, and most of the iron tools used in the Western Regions come from here. Qiuzi is a necessary place on the Silk Road, and becoming the next target of Tuqitang reveals a dangerous atmosphere? The importance of Qiuci to the Han is no less than that of Dawan, who is already a vassal state of the Han Dynasty, but Qiuci has independent sovereignty and suffers from the nuisance of the Xiongnu all the year round.

However, the Qiuzi royal family was quite stubborn, they were not afraid of the threat of the Xiongnu, and they did not accept the overtures of the Han Dynasty. Such a stubborn royal family is not uncommon, such as Wusun, who was arrogant and arrogant and insisted on not surrendering to the Xiongnu and turned away the Han envoy Zhang Qian, but under Zhang Qian's sincere influence again and again, he finally accepted the Han.

With the good demonstration of Zhang Qian's predecessors, Liu Ye was full of confidence, and she immediately decided: "Okay, let's go to Qiuzi." ”

Tu Qitang saw that she agreed, and clapped his hands happily: "Great, I'm afraid you'll refuse!" I heard that Qiuzi is a strange place, the royal family is superstitious and ghostly, not to mention, the people are also chattering with gods, what witches, goddesses, more than business vendors. My biggest headache is the people who believe in the gods, they don't seem to make sense, they don't listen to people's persuasion, they believe what they believe, fortunately you are willing to go with me, it's okay, it's okay......"

Tu Qitang stroked his forehead and sighed, seeing that he was really worried like that, Liu Ye felt funny: "Don't you have faith?" ”

"Yes!" Tu Qitang looked at her seriously, "My faith is myself, the only person in the world who can be trusted is myself, and in the end I can only rely on myself." ”

"It's too selfish for you to think like this, in this world, it's not only yourself who can be trusted, but also your parents and brothers......

Tu Qitang waved his hand to interrupt her: "Hearing you say this, you know that you are a person who is not deeply involved in the world, let me tell you, your parents and brothers are absolutely untrustworthy." Do you know? Since the day I was born, there have been dozens of brothers who have died in the struggle for power, can you believe it? Father, queen and queen are also fighting back and forth, it stands to reason that couples who share the same bed and sleep together can fight each other with swords, but this is the truth! So, I only believe in myself, my parents and brothers are too unreliable! ”

Liu Ye didn't say anything for a long time, what Tu Qitang said was not unreasonable, Liu Ye was born in modern times, even if his parents were noisy, the family atmosphere was still harmonious, after crossing over, Liu Yi and Zeng were honest people, and Feng Gang and Feng Yan's brothers and sisters were also very simple. Liu Ye was named a princess and entered the palace, and he didn't have much contact with those princes and grandsons, and he didn't understand the sinister thing that Tu Qitang said.

There are many novels and TV series that have this kind of plot, the children and grandchildren who were born in the emperor's family have spent their childhood in struggle, and those who survive are absolute elites. Tu Qitang was born in the imperial family, he is the prince who rests in peace, and he has more say than her.

Liu Ye didn't argue on this topic, and instead asked: "With my understanding of Qiuzi, they are very researched in music and dance, even if they are superstitious about ghosts and gods, they will not reach the level of madness. You don't have to worry, if you don't believe this, just ignore it, others won't force you. ”

Tu Qitang nodded: "I hope so, I don't believe that there are any ghosts in the world, it's just the evil thoughts of the human heart." I'm telling you all this just to remind you not to be scared when the time comes. ”

"No, I'm ready." Liu Ye saw that he was getting up to leave, and said coldly, "My two maids were attacked by assassins, but fortunately they are all fine now." ”

Tu Qitang's expression was as usual: "The original intention of the assassin was to assassinate the king, and your maid is innocent, so she should not die." ”

"I wonder if they saw the true face of the Assassin and that's why they were attacked." Liu Ye paid attention to his expression, trying to see something from his face.

Tu Qitang smiled meaningfully: "Isn't the true face of the assassin the Huns, the princess has already made it clear in the Chengyang Palace. ”

Liu Ye was opposed by him, and it was not good to test it again, Tu Qitang paused, and said: "Could it be that there is another hidden reason in this matter?" For example, the Assassins were not Huns, but ......"

"You're too worried, I'm just saying that they will only be attacked when they see the assassins, the identity of the assassins has been confirmed, there is nothing to doubt."

Liu Ye's tone was affirmative, and Tu Qitang smiled slightly, got up and said goodbye.

Qiuzi, the country that Liu Ye has longed for for a long time, this time, what unusual things will happen?
