Lu Zhaoyi couldn't help but sneer and shook her head, she didn't expect that she herself would become the person she wanted to be the most in the eyes of others.

But......

Thinking of this, her face turned slightly pale, and she explained carefully, "You may not know my secret, and think it is easy to do, if you didn't know it in advance...... That, how could you ......?"

As soon as she was halfway through speaking, Qu Zhiyun hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop it, and hurriedly said, "Don't say it, I have made up my mind." ”

Suddenly, she remembered what she had just said, and her curiosity rose, "You actually have the ability to predict?" ”

"Nope!" Lu Zhaoyi simply told her, took a sip of tea angrily, and continued to explain.

"I'm not capable, I've seen ......"

Speaking of this, she flatly denied it and hurriedly diverted the topic, "Okay, okay, I'll let you follow me, okay?" Ask again. ”

Just as the man brought a few servings of fruit and freshly brewed tea, interrupting their continued conversation.

"It's getting dark." After the guy left, Qu Zhiyun looked at the sky and said seriously.

"Hmm." Lu Zhaoyi responded lightly.

When night falls, the gate of Lifang is about to close, the city gate and the palace gate are closed, and the curfew patrol Jin Wu holds the sword guard on the street.

The people in the city gradually decreased, and returned to their respective villages, the whole Luojing, only Taicang was brightly lit and densely populated.

And Lu Zhaoyi's drunken fragrance house is the closest to the gate of Lifang, and sitting here, you can clearly see the crowd coming in and out.

Before the door closed, she saw Yang Wenxu and a man in a black robe with his face covered through the window.

She knew that the black-robed man was Xia Sheng, the king of cold.

After the guy led the two upstairs and entered the private room, Xia Sheng took off his hat and looked at her with a smile.

"Unexpectedly, Lu Niangzi actually took the initiative to invite the lonely king,"

At this moment, his eyes sparkled, like a ray of light in the dark night, calm and fiery.

Like the full moon in the sky, it is cunning and ghostly.

This glance is also completely different from the previous pampered and willful image, which can't help but make Lu Zhaoyi have a little change in her opinion of him, and under the two eyes, she gradually fell into it.

She finally swallowed her saliva and came back to her senses, appearing fairly calm.

"Han King......" she called softly, but immediately noticed her gaffe, and took two steps back, blessed herself.

"Presumably, Yang Pengcao told King Han, what is the matter with my invitation this time?"

Xia Sheng stared at her with burning eyes, his smile deepened, and he replied lightly, "I know." ”

This sentence is simple but infinitely ambiguous.

What does he know?

Without waiting for her to ask more, Xia Sheng returned to the past and explained, "Brother Yang and the Lone King have known each other for many years, and they have a deep affection, and the Lone King has heard a little about some of the things he has done faintly over the years. ”

He lowered his eyes and was speechless, "It's just that I didn't expect that Lu Niangzi would be among such a vast organization with vast magical powers and spread all over the world?" ”

Lu Zhaoyi was silent, and he couldn't help but be stunned in his heart.

Seeing that she hesitated, Yang Wenxu was nervous for a while, coughed lightly, and hurriedly explained, "Lu Niangzi, Yang knows that the rules of the alliance are strict, and King Han, who gets along with me day and night, some signs can always be found. ”

She knew that the relationship between Yang Wenxu and Xia Sheng, even if she wanted to deliberately conceal it, would not last long, and she had already prepared for this.

It's just that all the actions of the Tianxia Alliance are carried out under his nose, and he can still resist not saying anything to outsiders, and this determination is indeed unexpected.

It seems that she, Lu Zhaoyi, still doesn't know this cold king well enough, and she will have to re-examine this person in the future.

After thinking about it, she raised her lips lightly and raised her eyes, "Since the Han King knows everything, then today, I will not be restrained." King Han, please. So saying, he stretched out his hand and invited him to take a seat.

Xia Sheng and Yang Wenxu glanced at each other, walked to the two tables in the north position, and took their seats.

In the south-facing position, Lu Zhaoyi and Qu Zhiyun are seated.

After that, they instructed the men to bring the food and drink, and put them on the respective desks of the four of them, waiting for the men to leave, and closed the door, and the private room was suddenly quiet.

Each other was silent, and the atmosphere was solemn for a while.

Half an hour later, Yang Wenxu coughed twice more to break the deadlock.

He looked at the exquisite lacquer in front of him and slowly spoke, "A few days ago, Yang sent a letter to Hall Master Lin, I don't know, the alliance leader has seen it, do you have a plan?" ”

"Indeed!" Lu Zhaoyi lowered his eyebrows, secretly poured himself a cup of tea, and said lightly, "I'm not good at drinking, please forgive me, let me replace wine with tea, and perform this gift for the family teacher!" ”

With that, she sat up, raised her glass, and saluted the two of them.

It was Xia Sheng, his eyes were full of the beautiful woman in front of him, and in an instant, he hurriedly poured wine for himself and returned the salute with Yang Wenxu.

"Mrs. Lu is polite." Xia Sheng drank and smiled, "The beauty Mu Gaoyi, Gao Yi also looks forward to the beauty, outside the palace that day, Sheng was rude and offended Lu Niangzi!" It just happened to take this opportunity to apologize to Lu Niangzi. ”

King Han laughed. Lu Zhaoyi put down the lacquer cup, "Brother Yang said in the letter that King Han has the evidence of accepting bribes and privately minting copper coins from Jingnan and Nanzhong counties. I don't know if it's true or not? ”

Jingnan and Nanzhong, originally known as the Nanling Kingdom, are another force in the court, which has always been cautious and low-key, and rarely attracts attention.

In today's court, the Nanling faction, headed by Nanling Gong Miao Qian and Shaofuqing Wu Chong, has always relied on no one in the court, nor stood in line, and wavered.

Whoever wins over this faction will represent the future court, and the more power to speak, the more stable the position.

Naturally, Lu Zhaoyi will not give up on wooing this faction.

And it just so happened that Xia Sheng had this evidence in her hand, so she had the handle to threaten Miao Qian and Wu Chong, which was a great benefit to her, and it was much easier to win over.

Lu Zhaoyi knows this truth, can Xia Sheng not understand it?

I saw him shake the wine set lightly and smiled, "Of course, Lu Niangzi is planning to join forces with me?" ”

"If you think about the throne, I can't give it to you, and I can't help you. But you're thinking that if you can live a chic life under Your Majesty's nose, our goals will be the same, aren't you? Lu Zhaoyi responded.

For them, the two parties joining forces is the most convenient and safest way.

"What Mrs. Lu said is extremely true!" Xia Pei poured the wine again and raised the wine utensils, "But why does the Lone King join forces with Lu Niangzi, the Lone King holds this handle himself, isn't it?" ”

Hearing this, Lu Zhaoyi was not displeased, but smiled, "This is okay, but King Han must know that if you let Your Majesty know that you are winning over the courtiers, what will Your Majesty do to you?" ”

Sure enough, when she said this, Xia Sheng's face trembled slightly, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.

If Xia Pei knew that he had the handle of those officials in his hands, he would not let him go, and immediately deposed him as the king and sent him to prison to be beheaded.

He naturally knew this, so he agreed to Yang Wenxu's proposal and met with Lu Zhaoyi here.

was so bluntly pierced that Xia Sheng couldn't hold his face, and he drank the wine by himself, but he was speechless.

This also made Yang Wenxu aware of the abnormality, and threw his eyes at the two, but there was no response.

During the banquet, Qu Zhiyun was stunned and thoughtful, the atmosphere became solemn again, and she laughed a little, "Let's not just sit still, the cold burning technique of the chef of Zuixiangju can be described as a must, all of Luojing is famous, can you try it?" ”

When Yang Wenxu heard this, he also came back to his senses, and smiled again and again, "What Qu Niangzi said is good, His Royal Highness and Lu Niangzi also have a taste?" ”

As he spoke, he moved his chopsticks, picked up a piece of roasted meat, and swallowed it in a big gulp, and in an instant, he was almost stuck in his throat by a fish bone.

His face turned red, he hurriedly took a sip of wine, and took a handkerchief from the side to wipe the corners of his mouth.

Or curious, Xia Sheng moved his chopsticks, also ate a few pieces of roasted meat, chewed a few times, swallowed it in his stomach, and sighed, "This cold roasted taste is really unique, no wonder people in Luojing like to come here, not only the appearance is good, but the taste is also top-notch." ”

"Haha, huh? Then eat a few more bites. Yang Wenxu laughed.

"yes!" Qu Zhiyun responded, turned her head to look at Lu Zhaoyi beside her, "Lu Niangzi don't just care about eating tea, you have never liked meat, you can eat something light, this dish and boiled beans are also good." ”

Seeing that the three of them were eating, Lu Zhaoyi also picked up chopsticks and took a hollyhock in the mouth.

She ate without raising her eyes, "Maybe tomorrow, I will go far away, as short as a few months or a year, if you are willing to form an alliance, you can walk around with Qiu Zhongcheng more." ”

Before he finished speaking, Xia Sheng's eyes moved slightly, and he sighed, "Unfortunately, early tomorrow morning, the Lone King will also leave to return to Hanjun." ”
