Chapter 296: The Naïve Prince

Outside the door, Zhu Jiu, who was disguised as a shopkeeper, listened to the conversation clearly.

Recently, there have been more and more people from the Western Regions who have come to the capital, first the lord of Changyue Kingdom, Jiuli, then the second highness of Changyue Kingdom, and then His Royal Highness the unknown prince.

The other party inquired about her, and it seemed that he was also trying to save some princess.

The previous Xuanyuan royal family went through turmoil, and only Xuanyuan Che was left alive in the royal family, so the princess in his mouth must not be the princess of Xuanyuan Kingdom, but the princess of the Western Regions.

Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Western Regions......

Zhu Jiu's eyes flashed slightly, and he remembered Lan Zhaoyi in the palace.

Lan Zhaoyi was born in Loulan, a princess sent from the Western Regions Loulan Kingdom, and she was also assassinated before, could it be that the assassination was made by the people over there in the Western Regions?

The more I think about it, the more likely it is.

It seems that His Royal Highness the prince is coming for Zu Menglan nine times out of ten, and before, the calligraphy and painting happened to come with the news that Zu Menglan was sick in the palace, and He Hongying had already done something to her.

In this way, He Hongying has long been in contact with people in the Western Regions, but what is there on Zu Menglan, and why did all parties appear in the capital for her?

Zhu Jiu planned to test this prince and get more information from him.

As it happened, the door opened.

Seeing the young man who came out of the house, he was sullen in the last second, and became very gentle when he went out in the next second, Zhu Jiu put on a flattering smile and stepped forward very mercifully: "This son, we have a lot of fun and delicious food in the capital, you are so generous, if you are willing to give the villain a little reward, the villain will tell you which place has the biggest and sweetest fruit, and which place has the most ...... girl."

The latter sentence was originally Zhu Jiu's casual nonsense in order to arouse the man's interest.

Sure enough, before she finished speaking, Prince Loulan's eyes lit up and interrupted her impatiently, but he still maintained a superficial gentle attitude: "This little brother, the fruit you are talking about, can there be grapes?"

Those who come from the Western Regions can do nothing else, but grapes cannot be missing.

Otherwise, you won't be used to eating anywhere.

The female secret guard who followed silently had already supported her forehead, worried about the IQ of her prince.

If it weren't for the fact that Her Royal Highness the Princess was hiding too much, how could the Duke let Her Royal Highness the Prince personally come to Xuanyuan Kingdom?

Looking at this person's dress, he is obviously an inconspicuous little guy, a slave, what qualifications does he have to talk to his own prince?

The female secret guard immediately appeared, and stopped Zhu Jiu in time when things did not develop to an unexpected point: "Presumptuous! Who gave you the courage to approach my son-in-law without permission? If you don't want to die, get out of the way!"

As soon as these words came out, Prince Loulan frowned slightly and looked at her dissatisfied.

What are you doing? He wants to eat some fruit, this person has to be in charge, why is it so annoying.

Zhu Jiu was also silent, but not because of how strong this female secret guard's martial arts were, but because of her accent.

Seeing that the female secret guard and Prince Loulan were not aware of it, Zhu Jiu finally realized a fact.

That is, both of them think that they speak pure Central Plains dialect, and there is no accent at all.

So they don't know how uncomfortable it is to hold back laughter when this mouthful of raw Central Plains words is heard in other people's ears.

After the silence, she made a frightened look, didn't say anything, and took a few steps back.

Prince Loulan frowned and stopped the female secret guard: "Okay, he just wants to make some reward, and it doesn't hurt."

What's more, he also wants to see and understand, just with the current Xuanyuan Kingdom, what delicious grapes can be grown?

So under the silent eyes of the female secret guard, she gave Zhu Jiu a reward, "Where is that place you are talking about?"

Zhu Jiu took the money and said with a smile: "The little one knows that there is a place called Pingyang Village, which is now comparable to a paradise, and you can have everything you want!"

Then he told him the address of Pingyang Village, and after knowing that Pingyang Village was not far from the capital, and the queen he had inquired about earlier was also in Pingyang Village, Prince Loulan was satisfied and paid the money

After Zhu Jiu left, he turned his head proudly to the female secret guard and said, "Look, this guy is still somewhat useful."

At least they now know where Binh Duong Village is.

Seeing that her prince was so innocent, the female secret guard didn't know whether to say something or not.

In fact, they can also find the location of Binh Duong Village by hiring a horse groom at will.

But since her master said so, it was not good for her to continue, so as not to refute his interest.

After coming out of the restaurant, Zhu Jiu didn't know that Prince Loulan was already eager to set off for Pingyang Village, she weighed the coins in her hand, and saw that there were a few children begging at the intersection, so she gave them the money, and then went to the cinnabar building.

Gongwen Gongwu has been doing a good job in business recently, and he is in a good mood, and when he saw Zhu Jiulai, he showed joy and shared with her: "Great, Queen Mother! Because of your strategic deployment, now our army is stronger than many countries, in the past, when we went to other countries for business, we would inevitably be robbed of taxes, but now that the national strength is strong, they don't dare to loot too much tax money from us!"

No matter how powerful the cinnabar building is, it is only a force in the rivers and lakes, if there is no strong country behind it as a backer, in order to maintain the operation of such a huge force, they will always have to pay more than other places.

Ever since Zhu Jiu distributed the rights of the Cinnabar Building to the various owners, they had felt deeply tired.

Fortunately, Zhu Jiu retired from the battlefield, and after not fighting, she used her mind to do business, and she didn't have to worry about Zhu Jiu in terms of power and strategy.

After listening to Gong Wen and Gong Wu's excitement, Zhu Jiu patted them on the shoulder, motioned for them to sit down, and then asked them how they investigated the matter of Jun Jiuli, the lord of Changyue Kingdom?

Gong Wen and Gong Wu glanced at each other, and then Gong Wen said, "As far as I know, there are many forces from the Western Regions Country to Xuanyuan Kingdom this time, and they are complicated, and it has not yet been found out what they are here for, but it is certain that this group of people will attack Xuanyuan Che."

Zhu Jiu frowned slightly, "Why?"

She thought these people were coming for her.

After all, Prince Naloulan had already found out about her.

Gong Wu pulled out a stack of booklets, which recorded the information they had found.

"Master, when the Western Regions Kingdom still existed in the Central Plains Dynasty, it was only a vassal state of the Central Plains Dynasty, and it was also the emperor of the Central Plains Dynasty who scattered them into various small countries, and now the Changyue Kingdom is dominated by the Western Regions Kingdom, if the Yan Kingdom is not destroyed, it can still block them, but if the Yan Kingdom is destroyed, the Western Regions Kingdom will not have that barrier, and it will be until Xuanyuan."

"It is estimated that they still have the ambition to dominate the Central Plains, or they also want to take revenge on the Central Plains Dynasty."

The Central Plains Dynasty dispersed them for three hundred years, and if this hatred continues to this day, it will be a devastating existence.

The situation that Xuanyuan Che has not been stable for a long time will be turbulent again.
