Tuli frowned, and was about to speak, but a person came out from behind the screen.

"Prince Tuli, don't come unharmed." The person who came came with a smile on his face and walked over step by step.

The moment he saw that face clearly, Tuli only felt that the blood in his whole body was instantly reversed, and he bounced up from the chair with a 'Teng', and subconsciously said, "You...... Are you a human or a ghost? ”

As soon as he spoke, he realized that he had said the wrong thing.

Sure enough, I saw that the man had a faint smile on his mouth, and then calmly sat on the chair next to him, his sharp sword eyebrows were raised slightly, and his voice was mixed with a hint of banter, "Then the prince thinks I am a human or a ghost?" ”

Tuli leaned on the chair and sat back down, but the fear in his heart was still there, he hooked the corners of his lips stiffly, and said, "His Royal Highness King Yan is always unexpected." ”

He said that why did the Chen family suddenly contact them, it was originally because of this!

"Didn't the prince surprise the king." Chu Xiyi said as he raised his hand to pour a cup of tea for Tuli and himself, and a strange light flashed in his dark eyes.

"His Royal Highness King Yan laughed, Xiao Wang has nothing unexpected." Tuli tugged at the corners of his lips a little unnaturally, and then reached out to pick up the teacup to hide the unease that arose in his heart for no reason.

"Does the prince think the king is joking?" Chu Xizhi raised his eyebrows and looked at Tuli with a smile.

There was a faint light floating in his eyes, and Tuli only glanced at it, and a sense of emptiness arose in his heart.

Could it be that what did he know?

But now, he can only bite the bullet and say, "Isn't His Royal Highness King Yan joking with Xiao Wang?" After he finished speaking, Chu Xizhi's gaze still did not move away from him, and the faint gaze seemed to penetrate everything, which really made him a little restless.

Looking at Tu Li's empty expression, Chu Xi smiled suddenly, and finally took his gaze back, "Of course this king is joking with the prince, the prince can't be serious just now, right?" ”

As soon as Chu Xizhi's words came out, Tu Li breathed a long sigh of relief, and hurriedly followed Chu Xizhi's words, and said with a smile, "How can it be." ”

Chu Xizhi looked at Tu Li, and the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened a little.

After Tuli's father, King Baokang, learned of his death, he immediately sent someone to secretly ask for Chu Yanzhi's help, hoping to get Chu Yanzhi's help, even if he couldn't get it, he also hoped that Chu Yanzhi would not interfere in the imperial power struggle in the Northern Desert, and also promised that if he was in power in the future, the Northern Desert would be willing to mine gold with Dayue, and even handed over the evidence of Xiyang's collusion with the Northern Desert to Chu Yanzhi in exchange. Later, Chu Yanzhi did not interfere in the affairs of the Northern Desert as their father and son wished, but their father and son did not expect that their dead person was still alive.

"This time, the prince is here, in fact, I have something to discuss with the prince."

"His Royal Highness King Yan, please speak." Tu Li looked at Chu Xidao with a smile on his face.

Since the Chen family invited them to come over to discuss this time on Chu Xizhi's order, then they were bound to help them.

Chu Xizhi smiled, "As the prince thought, this king naturally helped King Baokang to seize the throne, but it was just ......"

Hearing the answer that satisfied him, the smile on his face suddenly became brighter and brighter, "If the prince has any requirements, just say it directly, as long as Xiao Wang can do it, he will definitely not refuse." ”

Chu Xizhi hooked the corners of his lips, and his cold voice rang out word by word, "Actually, it's not difficult, this king wants the horse market in the northwest." ”

Tu Li's hand holding the teacup shook, and a few drops of hot tea splashed on his hand, but he didn't seem to notice it at all, "Wang, Wang, what did you say?" ”

"I don't think it's hard for the prince." Chu Xizhi looked at Tu Li Dao with a smile.

"This ...... Your Royal Highness, Xiao Wang still has to discuss this matter with his father, you see ......" Tu Li slowly put the teacup in his hand back on the table, with a bit of a tentative way to cherish Chu.

Today is different from the past, although Chu Xizhi is still alive, but Chu Yanzhi has been crowned the crown prince, and in this battle, Chu Xizhi, the king of Yan, has already lost. If they help him to seize the horse farm in the northwest, wouldn't it offend the prince of Dayue today? Although Chu Yanzhi used to be on the side of King Baoxiang, but now he promised to remain neutral, if they rashly offended him? Then if he turned against King Baoxiang, wouldn't they be a strong enemy again? In this way, they will not gain more than they lose?

Chu Xizhi looked at Tu Li, and suddenly smiled, "The prince really believes that he won't interfere in the affairs of your Northern Desert, right?" ”

"His Royal Highness King Yan, what do you mean by this......"

Chu Xizhi hooked his lips and smiled, "The prince shouldn't think that you are the only people who secretly sent people to Dayue, right?" In the final analysis, whether he wants to meddle in the affairs of the Northern Desert or not, it depends on which of the interests of King Baoxiang and King Baokang is greater. Speaking of this, Chu Xizhi smiled again, "I don't know what benefits King Baokang promised, but King Baoxiang has sent the contract written by himself to the East Palace, and it is said that King Baokang has assigned the area of Qilian Mountain to Dayue." ”

"What! How dare he! Tuli was so shocked that he bounced up, looking at Chu Xizhi with a look of disbelief. You must know that Qilian Mountain is the largest golden vein in their Northern Desert, how dare King Baoxiang give this mountain to Dayue like this! But when he thought about it carefully, he felt that something was wrong, "Dare to ask the prince, how did the prince know about such a secret thing?" ”

Chu Xi smiled, leisurely picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea, "Don't you think this question is stupid?" ”

The sudden thick eyebrows were raised, and a wave of displeasure welled up in his eyes.

"The king thinks that the fact that the king can sit here and talk to the prince has proven everything." Chu Xizhi raised his eyes to look at Tu Li, the ghostly light in his slender and long eyes flickered, and his body exuded a calm and unhurried kingly air, and he couldn't see the embarrassment and loss that the defeated person should have.

Looking at Chu Xizhi like this, Tuli was a little shaken for a while.

King Yan came back from the dead, and the former King Shen was named the crown prince, Da Yue was like a pool of muddy water, he couldn't see through it and couldn't guess it, but he couldn't get out, because, he had realized at this moment that maybe from the moment his father promised King Yan, they had already waded into the muddy water of Da Yue.

If what Chu Xizhi said is true, then, if Chu Yanzhi really intends to help King Baokang, not to mention the success or failure of their father and son, I am afraid that the entire Northern Desert will also be in danger and may be swallowed by Da Yue at any time.

Thinking of this, Tu Li broke out in a cold sweat, "Then, how does Xiao Wang know that His Royal Highness King Yan will also open your mouth like your Dayue Prince." ”

Chu Xizhi frowned and looked at Tu Li, and that look made people feel that the question that Tu Li had just asked was very stupid.

"What makes the prince think that this king will be the same as Chu Yanzhi?" Chu Xizhi hooked the corners of his lips, and his voice was faintly mixed with a hint of mockery, "Chu Yanzhi needs a lot of silver to raise soldiers and buy people's hearts, but do you think this king also needs it?" ”

Tu Li was stunned, and before he could speak, Chen Mubai next to him suddenly raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose and coughed.

"Lord Wang, you are treating our Chen family as a money bag!"

Chen Mubai opened his mouth, and suddenly realized.

Indeed, it is true that there is the Chen family, the richest businessman in the south of the Yangtze River, behind King Yan, but even if he is not short of money, what if he harbors evil intentions for them in the Northern Desert?

"Lord Wang, really think that your Northern Desert is a fragrant bait, and everyone covets it? Yes, there are indeed a lot of gold mines under your northern desert, but what's the use of hiding under the yellow sand? Do you think this king will spend a lot of manpower and material resources on trekking to the Northern Desert for those gold? Even if this king really had this thought, it would be at this time. Chu Xizhi looked at Tuli coldly, "Since Prince Tuli is so worried about this king, then this king has nothing to say." In fact, this king does not have to be in the northern desert, in the final analysis, the horse market in the northwest has long been in the pocket of this king, but it is inconvenient for this king's current identity to come forward. ”

Seeing Chu Xizhi's cold face, Tu Li suddenly panicked, and hurriedly said in a soft tone, "His Royal Highness King Yan, Xiao Wang is stupid, if there is anything wrong to offend His Highness, please forgive Your Highness." After that, he got up and walked in front of Chu Xizhi, raised his left hand and put it on his chest to make a big salute to Chu Xizhi, and said, "I don't know, what are you going to let Xiao Wang do?" ”

Indeed, as Chu Xizhi said, even if he really covets the Northern Desert like Chu Yanzhi, it is not now, besides, if King Baokang has really secretly colluded with Chu Yanzhi, then the situation between him and his father is not good, so he must get the help of the Chen family and seize the opportunity in one fell swoop before King Baokang has made a move.

Chu Xizhi looked at Tu Li, and the corners of his lips hooked, "The prince doesn't have to do anything, just show up in the northwest at the right time." ”

Hearing these words was suddenly confused, but when he caught a glimpse of the evil smile on the corner of Chu Xizhi's lips, he felt a sense of jealousy in his heart towards the man in front of him, and even, he faintly felt that the man in front of him was playing a game of chess, whether it was him or Beimo, they were just pawns on his chessboard.

Sending off Tuli, as soon as Chen Mubai came back, he saw Chu Xizhi half leaning on the pillar in the courtyard, raising his head slightly, staring at the sky above his head motionless, not knowing what he was thinking, even Chen Mu stood beside him for a long time, he was suddenly unaware.

can make His Royal Highness King Yan, who is strategizing, so distracted, except for his cousin Xiao Xiwei, in the world, he doesn't make a second idea.

Looking at the sadness in Chu Xi's eyes, Chen Mubai sighed very lightly in his heart.

It is true that Chu Xizhi can calculate the hearts of the people in the world, but there is only one person, and he has never used her at all. It is said that the emperor's family is ruthless, but the man in front of him seems to be an exception.

"Amu, just now Libo said that there have been traces of roe deer in the mountains recently, you see, or we will go hunting in the mountains later." Chen Mubai walked up to Chu Xizhi and reached out to pat him on the shoulder.

Chu Xizhi glanced at Chen Mubai with low eyes, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "You're so boring?" ”

Bored.

Chen Mubai almost flew over with a roll of his eyes, if he wasn't afraid that he would be alone Gu Ying felt sorry for himself and secretly felt sad, as for looking for such a thing to distract him? Well, it turned out that people didn't appreciate it at all.

"Then can Your Highness be kind enough to solve Weichen's confusion for the sake of the grass people being so boring?" Chen Mubai took a step back and saluted Chu Xizhi.

Chu Xizhi glanced at him lightly, and then looked away.

Chen Mubai hooked the corners of his lips, "What is His Highness planning to do in the northwest?" ”

If he just let Tuli show up in the northwest, then why did he bother to invite Tuli here?
