Looking at the man who didn't mean to joke at all, Ling Hu Chu was slightly stunned, and then he was deeply angry.

The palm of his hand slapped heavily on the coffee table, and Hu Chu said coldly:

"Zhuang Shu, this king knows how much he snubbed you before, but if you dare to openly humiliate this king with a little strategy in your chest, then don't blame this king for being unkind to you."

The man named Zhuang Shu smiled faintly, arched his hand at Linghu Chu and said: "Lord Wang, as a strategist, Zhuang Shu will naturally consider the prince, as for humiliating the prince, it is absolutely impossible." ”

Seeing that the anger on Ling Hu Chu's face did not dissipate, Zhuang Shu stretched out three fingers and said: "In my opinion, the marriage between the prince and Xiao Chen has three benefits, one of them: Bai Qi has the world in mind and will do whatever it takes to achieve the goal, although the prince chooses to sit in the same boat as Bai Qi, but Bai Qi does not necessarily regard the prince as his own person, to put it mildly, in times of crisis, Bai Qi will definitely throw the prince out to face the disaster, but now that the matter of Xiao Wangye comes out, it is invisibly equivalent to tying the prince and Xiao Wangye together, Bai Qi may not care about the power of the princes on one side, but if the two princes join forces, then Bai Qi will have to be afraid of three points. ”

Listening to Zhuang Shu's analysis, Ling Hu Chu's brows furrowed slightly, and his face also showed a look of thought.

Indeed, although today's incident was provoked by himself, Bai Qi's attitude actually says it all, in Bai Qi's eyes, he is indeed a dispensable existence, and joining forces with such a person makes Hu Chu think about it now, and he can't help but be afraid for a while.

His face softened a little, and Ling Hu Chu hurriedly said, "You go on." ”

Zhuang Shu showed a look of pride on his face, and continued: "The alliance between the prince and Bai Qi before was already a little inappropriate, and his subordinates have been persuading, but the prince has not listened to me, but Xiao Wangye seems to have humiliated the prince today, but it was a mistake to help the prince alleviate the dilemma, turn the bad thing of the defeat into a good thing, and help the prince get out of Bai Qi's fire pit, even if Bai Qi wants to talk about joining forces again in the future, with the addition of Xiao Wangye, it will be the prince who will take the initiative, which is the second benefit." ”

Ling Hu Chu pondered for a moment, slapped his head suddenly, and Ling Hu Chu, who came back to his senses, had no anger on his face at all, but a look of joy on his face, and he hurriedly took Zhuang Shu's hand and said: "Mr. woke up the dreamer with a word, this king blamed Mr. by mistake before, and I hope Mr. will not be surprised." ”

Zhuang Shu shook his head with a smile and said, "I can't afford to say this, Zhuang Shu is just doing his best." ”

Ling Hu Chu nodded, looked at Zhuang Shu with some expectation, and said, "Sir, what is this third benefit?" ”

"Hahahaha...... Zhuang Shu laughed and pointed to Xiao Chen's convoy behind him and said: "Helping the prince solve two troubles without a trace, isn't such a son-in-law a benefit?" ”

"Is the third benefit that Mr. said is Xiao Chen?" Ling Hu Chu was slightly stunned, and Ling Hu Chu, who already had some prejudices against Xiao Chen, muttered: "According to what Mr. said, this is not bad, but this Xiao Chen is merry by nature and has no ambitions. It's really embarrassing for my daughter. ”

Zhuang Shu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, the prince's words are wrong." ”

Linghu Chu was puzzled: "How do you say this? ”

Zhuang Shu took a deep breath and said, "Do you still remember the incident of Yong'an Manjiang Tower?" ”

Ling Hu Chu nodded.

Zhuang Shu continued: "At the beginning of Yong'an hunting, Bai Qi led the White Tiger Army to kill all the guards around His Majesty, and instantly made His Majesty a toothless tiger, all the princes didn't say it, but in action, they all avoided Cao Xun like avoiding the plague, only this Xiao Chen dared to visit Cao Xun alone, the prince thought about it, if Han Feng really took His Majesty to kill Yong'an that day, who among the six princes could get His Majesty's trust the most? ”

Ling Hu Chu was shocked and said, "Xiao Chen! ”

Zhuang Shu nodded and said, "That's right, if that's the case, Xiao Chen will definitely be treated differently by His Majesty, and maybe even raise him to deal with Bai Qi." From this point of view alone, this son's scheming is not deep, and I also heard that Han Feng and Xiao Chen have a very good personal relationship, and that trip to Manjianglou can also see that Xiao Chen is a person with affection and righteousness, affectionate, righteous and calculating, such a person is not uncommon to see the prince! ”

Ling Hu Chu nodded thoughtfully: "According to what Mr. said, this Xiao Chen is indeed not useless. ”

Zhuang Shu continued: "It's not over yet, Lord Wang, this time the Soul Gorge incident, although the Lord lost his troops and lost his generals, the reason for this is that Xiao Chen hid his strength in advance, and the Lord thought that Xiao Chen's five thousand black armor troops were stationed in Yong'an, and his surroundings were empty, so he made the mistake of underestimating the enemy, and was caught off guard by Xiao Chen." This is called the castle. ”

"And I heard that even the guards around Bai Qi can help Xiao Chen, from this point of view, this son's human feelings are sophisticated, I'm afraid it is even more terrifying, there are many smart people in the world, but there are too few people who are good at winning people's hearts."

"In the end, it's how Prince Xiao dealt with it today, no matter what Xiao Chen planned in his heart, but being able to endure such a big hatred shows that he is broad-minded."

He bowed deeply to Linghu Chu and said, "Such a master is the prince's son-in-law, even if his nature is more romantic?" Let's take the prince as a saying, where are there a few confidantes missing? ”

The more Ling Hu Chu listened, the more he felt that Zhuang Shu was reasonable, and in the end, Ling Hu Chu couldn't help but show a look of fear on his face, and patted his thigh and said: "If it weren't for Mr., I would make Hu Chu afraid of losing an arm to help!" ”

Standing up, Ling Hu Chu bowed deeply towards Zhuang Shu.

Zhuang Shu sat in his seat calmly and accepted this salute happily.

Standing up straight again, looking at the arrogant Zhuang Shu, a touch of displeasure flashed faintly in Hu Chu's eyes, but he covered it up well, and sat next to Zhuang Shu with a warm face, Ling Hu Chu said in a low voice:

"Sir, based on what you see, does this king want to meet our son-in-law in private?"

Zhuang Shu looked at Linghu Chu and said, "Why? ”

Linghu Chu said: "In the matter of the assassination, although the king said that he was defeated, after all, he couldn't stand Xiao Chen, but Xiao Chen ignored his past suspicions and repaid his grievances with virtue. ”

Zhuang Shu smiled and said: "This Prince Xiao, I definitely want to see it, but it can't be the prince who wants to see it." ”

There was a hint of gloom in his eyes, Zhuang Shu continued: "Although Xiao Chen and Wang Ye will become a son-in-law in the future, but in fact, they are still each party, this marriage is more like an alliance, if the prince takes the initiative to go, then the cooperation will inevitably fall into disadvantage in the future, depending on the subordinates, you might as well let your subordinates bring gifts to go, so that not only shows the prince's mind, but the prince does not have to surrender his identity, which can be described as the best of both worlds." ”

"Hmm!" Ling Hu Chu nodded deeply, and said in a condensed voice: "In this way, I will do what Mr. wants!" ”

……

The carriage and horses moved forward, and Xiao Chen lay in the spacious carriage, looking sullenly at the roof of the brocade embroidered car.

Sun Simiao carefully took a cup of tea and handed it to Xiao Chen: "Lord Wang, drink some sobering tea!" ”

Sitting up, Xiao Chen took the teacup and looked at Sun Simiao in front of him, Sun Simiao lowered her head humbly, as if she really put herself in the position of a maid.

Feeling the warmth of the teacup, Xiao Chen smiled slightly and said, "I heard that you still have a sweet girl in Kyoto?" ”

Sun Simiao glanced at Xiao Chen in some surprise, although she didn't know what Xiao Chen was thinking, she still nodded lightly and said: "Her name is Su Xin, she is a girl specially arranged by His Majesty to take care of my daily life, and she has been with me since she was a child, but this time she left her in a hurry, so she left her in Kyoto." ”

Xiao Chen nodded and said: "After all, you were given by His Majesty, don't do this kind of thing of serving tea and water in the future, and besides, I will immediately send someone to send a letter to Jingzhong, and ask Shi Cai to send Su Xin to Yong'an for you, not to mention taking care of anything, at least you can have your own people around you." ”

Seeing that Xiao Chen suddenly cared so much about himself, Sun Simiao's face suddenly showed a strong look of surprise, and he bowed to Xiao Chen and said, "Simiao, thank you, Lord Wang." ”

Waving his hand, Xiao Chen looked at Diexiang and Du Yingying on the side again.

These two girls were the masters of brocade clothes and jade food in the original place, but they came to a lonely person around them, and they had to do everything themselves, as if they couldn't afford to hire a maid in his palace, but the second daughter had never been dissatisfied with these things, thinking about it, Xiao Chen became more and more guilty, so Xiao Chen said softly: "By the way, when I get to Qianguo this time, I will arrange a maid for the two of you." ”

Diexiang smiled charmingly: "Then thank you for the grace of the prince." ”

Du Yingying turned her face to the side and said stubbornly: "Who wants you to fake your kindness, this girl will go back to Taishou Mansion after returning to Yong'an." ”

Xiao Chen smiled, began to be inserious again, and said a little scoundrelly: "Isn't it that you haven't returned to Yong'an yet, and many servant girls around you can also talk to the master, it's better than sulking in life, isn't it?" ”

Du Yingying still had a cold face, but this time she didn't say anything against it.

Xiao Chen smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sip, hey, I drank a lot of this sobering tea, but this time it was different. It's a little sweet!

Diexiang quietly leaned over to Xiao Chen's side, glanced at Xiao Chen meaningfully, and then said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, I see that you have been a little unhappy since you came back, are you unhappy chatting with Bai Qi?" ”

"Quite the opposite." Shaking his head, Xiao Chen said, "We have a great conversation!" ”

Diexiang was puzzled, and looked at Xiao Chen suspiciously: "Then why does the prince look sullen?" ”

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Chen muttered: "Looking at Bai Qi's meaning, rebellion is inevitable, and when the time comes, the Wei State will inevitably be in chaos, and I am worried about whether Yong'an can escape in this storm." ”

"In this way, Bai Qi's previous matter of currying favor with the prince can be explained." Diexiang muttered to herself, and suddenly whispered to Xiao Chen: "Lord Wang, if I didn't guess wrong, Bai Qi called Lord Wang this time, it should be to win over Lord Wang, right?" ”

Xiao Chen chuckled lightly and muttered, "Where is he trying to win over this king, he is asking this king what choice he makes." Between Wei Guo and him Bai Qi, what choice do I make! ”

Diexiang looked at Xiao Chen and asked, "What about the prince?" How did the prince reply? ”

Xiao Chen's eyes showed a look of contemplation, and at this moment, Wu Liang's voice suddenly came from outside the carriage.

"Lord Wang, Zhuang Shu, the envoy of the King of the Patrol West, asks to see ......"
