Chapter 198: What a Brilliant Plan
No, as soon as Chen Mubai's words fell, Chu Xizhi's sword eyebrows raised, followed by his cold voice, "Tuli is just a cover for Chu Yanzhi to see, do you think I will really borrow his power to take back the Northwest Horse Market, right?" You are a businessman, haven't you heard of a saying called meat buns beating dogs, and there is no return? ”
The two fathers and sons, King Baokang and Tuli, are not fuel-efficient lamps, whether in the eyes of Dayue, Xiliang or Beimo, the horse market in the northwest is a fragrant bait, and he doesn't want to make a wedding dress for Beimo in the end.
"Lord Wang, is it possible that you want to use it...... Lord, don't you think this is too risky? If you startle the snake, all the plans will be abandoned! Chen Mubai frowned and said worriedly.
Could it be that he was willing to take such a big risk in order to return to the capital as soon as possible.
Chu Xizhi turned his face, and finally looked at Chen Mubai, the corners of his lips hooked obliquely, raised his eyebrows, and said, "What did I do to make you belittle my IQ so much?" Well? ”
After listening to Chu Xizhi's words, Chen Mubai raised his hand to cover his mouth in embarrassment and coughed, "It seems that the grass people misunderstood the prince?" I don't know what the prince's plan is? ”
You won't let him come forward, will you?
Chen Mubai thought secretly in his heart.
Chu Xizhi glanced at Chen Mubai, "Don't worry, even if my brain is whimsical for a while, do you think you can afford such a big scene!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Chen Mubai only felt a tightness in his chest and shortness of breath, "You, it's a pity, I can be called your cousin no matter what." You're talking too much. ”
Chu Xizhi's eyebrows were raised, and the corners of his lips curled into a wicked smile, "What this king said just now is indeed inconsiderate. In the first lesson of this king's enlightenment, the master taught this king to respect the old and love the young, so please don't mind that this king is quick to talk just now, and this king is here to accompany his cousin. As he spoke, he took a step back, bent down and bowed to Chen Mubai with a flying expression.
Looking at the man in front of him, Chen Mubai only felt that a mouthful of old blood was in his throat, and he couldn't spit it out or swallow it, not to mention how aggrieved he was. Seeing Chu Xizhi bowing to him again, he hurriedly dodged sideways, and hurriedly bent down and bowed to him three times, "Don't don't, don't you, Lord Wang, I'm still a grass man, I'll accompany you." ”
In front of this man, he really can't be quick to speak for a while, maybe when he can say a word can block his blood and faint to death.
Catching a glimpse of the expression on Chen Mubai's face, Chu Xizhi smiled. He walked up to Chen Mubai, stretched out his hand to help him up, looked at him solemnly and said, "Mubai, although I have never said anything on my lips, I am grateful to you and the Chen family. Wei'er is fortunate to have relatives like you, and it is also my luck. ”
Chen Mubai raised his head, looking at the sincerity and gratitude in Chu Xi's eyes, he suddenly warmed up, and hurriedly raised his hand and clenched his fist to Chu Xizhi, "If it's a family, why say a word of thanks." Unless ......" Chen Mubai smiled suddenly, "unless the prince is unwilling to call the cousin-in-law of the grass people." ”
Chu Xizhi looked at Chen Mubai's eyebrows and calmness, couldn't help but smile, raised his hand and solemnly bowed to Chen Mubai, and said quickly, "How dare my sister-in-law, please take care of my cousin-in-law." ”
"Oh, okay, okay, don't act like a sour scholar, isn't this a ridicule for not being admitted to Xiucai."
It was the first time for someone to be called a cousin-in-law like this, especially since this person was still Yan Wang Chu Xizhi, which made Chen Mubai feel very uncomfortable.
Seeing Chen Mubai's expression, Chu Xizhi smiled and shook his head, "You can say this yourself, don't run to Wei'er to complain when the time comes, saying that my sister-in-law doesn't respect you, the eldest cousin." ”
"Then it depends on your future performance, cousin-in-law." Thinking that there was still his cousin behind him, Chen Mubai instantly felt that his waist was much straighter.
If he knew that his cousin's card was so easy to use, why was he suppressed by Chu Xizhi all the way to this point!
"Ask my cousin-in-law for advice." was interrupted by Chen Mubai like this, Chu Xizhi only felt that the boredom in his chest was pushed away a lot.
"Ahem." Chen Mubai cleared his throat, "Dare to ask your cousin-in-law, what are you going to do in the northwest?" Can you tell us a little bit about that? ”
If he didn't come forward himself, he wouldn't let him come forward, and he didn't use the power he had cultivated secretly, and even the Northern Desert would just show his face? So, how is he going to get back the horse market in the northwest?
"If you want to take back the Northwest, you naturally have to send someone who is familiar with the Northwest." Speaking of this, Chu Xi smiled, raised his eyes and looked at Chen Mubai, "Cousin is so smart, it shouldn't be difficult to guess, right?" ”
Chen Mubai's brows furrowed.
Since the Chen family secretly supported Chu Xizhi, the king of Yan, the Chen family has been involved in the affairs of the Dayue Dynasty, and even many shops are secretly collecting intelligence for Chu Xizhi. So when he heard Chu Xizhi say this, a name immediately appeared in his mind.
"Zheng Lin!"
Zheng Lin, the former son of Zheng Guogong.
The Northwest Horse City has been held in the hands of the Zheng family for decades, and even if it was uprooted by the crown prince Chu Yanzhi, the old party of the Zheng family is still dormant in the northwest. If you want to say that you are familiar with the northwest, there is no second choice for Dayue except the Zheng family.
"But with Zheng Lin's strength, I'm afraid that he may not be able to take the northwest?" Chen Mubai was still a little worried.
Although Chen Mubai is only a businessman, his vision is not as short-sighted as that of a businessman, otherwise, he would not have immediately gone to Beijing to promise to take out one million taels of silver in front of Chu Xizhi after receiving Xiao Xiwei's letter. The Chen family is famous, and there are many people who are red-eyed, and when his grandfather married his aunt Chen Qingwan into the Zhongyong Waiting Mansion, he did not have the intention of using the power of the official family to protect the Chen family. Now, his cousin Xiao Xiwei is married to Yan Wang Chu Xizhi, regardless of whether the Chen family is out of the matter, in the eyes of others, the Chen family has long been classified as the Yan King faction. Moreover, the Chen family's business has become more and more smooth in recent years, and his aunt Chen Qingwan has long been ill, and the relationship between the Chen family and the Zhongyong Houfu is no longer the same as before, and they may not be targeted at any time, and they also urgently need a strong backer. Therefore, Yan Wang Chu cherished it and was their only choice.
Chu Xizhi smiled indifferently, turned around and raised his eyes to look into the distance over the gray bricks and tiles, "Raising soldiers for a thousand days is used for a while, and now, it's time." ”
Is this to use the forces secretly raised in the Purple Mountain?
Chen Mubai frowned, and was about to open his mouth to refute, when he suddenly remembered the purpose of Chu Xizhi's call for Tuli to come here. At that moment, a light flashed through his mind.
I see.
He lent troops to Zheng Lin to take back to the northwest, but let Tuli show up in the northwest, so that even if the emperor and the crown prince Chu Yanzhi were suspicious, it would only be to the northern desert.
Coup! What a clever plan!
Thinking about all this, Chen Mubai only felt that he suddenly became enlightened, and he suddenly admired Chu Xizhi to the ground.
is worthy of the person chosen by his cousin, what a clever calculation!
"Brother-in-law, when are you going to do it?" The more Chen Mubai thought about it, the more excited he felt.
Chu Xizhi retracted his gaze and glanced at him sideways, "What are you anxious about, right now, the time has not yet come." Tomorrow, I will enter Beijing. ”
Chen Mubai still felt that the previous words were nothing, but when he heard the back, he was shocked, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, "Gang, what did you say just now?" ”
Chu Xizhi looked at Chen Mubai's eyes and did not speak.
Chen Mubai pursed the corners of his lips, and his face gradually became solemn, "Lord Wang, you're not joking with me, are you?" Are you going to Beijing? You are crazy? ”
How much effort did it take for his cousin and King Qin to get him out of the capital, and now he is going back? Isn't this self-defeating? Just now he was still applauding him for being calm and not rushing to succeed in his plan to startle the snake, and before he had a moment of effort, he was going to run under the noses of the emperor and the crown prince, wasn't this a slap in the face!
"I don't worry about her ......"
All the words of dissuasion were reluctantly swallowed back by him after hearing this faint sigh. Chen Mubai looked at Chu Xizhi, the ghostly light in his inky pupils surged, faintly mixed with a trace of water vapor, and even, he could see the worry and worry in the depths of his eyes.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that maybe he still underestimated Yan Wang Chu Xizhi's feelings for his cousin Xiao Xiwei. Perhaps, in Chu Xizhi's eyes, his cousin Xiao Xiwei is more important than the so-called rivers and mountains, and is more worthy of his protection.
Chen Mubai lowered his eyes and tugged at the corners of his lips, and a trace of bitterness crept up in his smile.
Compared to Chu Xizhi, after all, he can only be regarded as an ordinary man, and his former self-proclaimed extraordinaryness really seems to be a joke. Because, if he were a cherisher, he would never leave the world behind for a woman. But Chu Xizhi did it.
Xiwei is so fortunate to be cherished and cherished by this man who carefully holds it in the palm of his hand.
"Your Highness." Chen Mubai raised his hand and solemnly saluted Chu Xizhi.
He had known Chu Xizhi for so long, but there was no moment like now when he truly respected the man in front of him.
Affection and righteousness, courage and resourcefulness.
He is not only worthy of Xiwei's trust! It is worthy of their Chen family's entrustment! It is more worthy of the trust of the whole world!
Chu Xizhi looked at Chen Mubai, smiled, then turned around, raised his eyes and looked into the distance.
Perhaps, his actions are stupid in the eyes of everyone, but that's only because they haven't really loved someone.
Whether it is the country or power, in the end it is just a wisp of quicksand in the hand, and no matter how tightly you hold it, it will eventually slip away from your fingers. Only Xiwei, she is his love, his heart, and his life. He can throw anything away, he can do nothing, but Xiwei can't.
There was a burning pain in the palm of his hand.
Chu Xizhi lowered his head, raised his hand and slowly spread out his palm, the broken mark in his left palm was shocking.
"Your Highness, what are you ......" Chen Mubai obviously also saw the broken lines in Chu Xi's palm.
Chu Xizhi closed his palms and glanced at Chen Mubai casually, "Is my cousin still proficient in looking?" ”
"Not really." Chen Mubai smiled.
Chu Xizhi smiled, "Didn't you say that you want to go up the mountain to fight roe deer?" What, don't go? ”
"Go, go, go." Chen Mubai replied repeatedly, and then happily pulled Chu Xizhi's hand and introduced what prey often appeared in the back mountain as he walked, and immediately left the matter of the broken lines in Chu Xizhi's palm behind.
Lord Wang, this matter is against the sky, extremely dangerous, even if it is possible to reverse the number of fates in the successful session, what will happen at that time, you and I don't know, can you think clearly?
The words of the Master of Suffering rang in his ears suddenly.
To change one's life against the sky, you must first autophagy......
If that's really his price, he hopes it can be later......
