There was a brief silence in the carriage, and Xiao Chen's eyes widened as he looked at a serious Diexiang.

"Me?!" After a moment, Xiao Chen pointed at himself in disbelief. Then he smiled and shook his head: "What are you kidding, I am as clean as a blank sheet of paper in front of you, and I am often troubled by the fact that you can always see my thoughts at a glance." ”

Diexiang said in a condensed voice: "The prince thinks I'm joking? ”

Xiao Chen said: "Otherwise? ”

Diexiang chuckled, and then said, "Okay, since the prince doesn't admit it, then you tell me, why does the prince want to visit the maid of the king of the west?" ”

Hearing Ling Hu Chu's name, Xiao Chen's eyes suddenly showed a trace of indignation and said, "That dog. Linghu Chu, who was raised by his mother, actually wanted my Xiao Chen's life, for the sake of Yong'an, I didn't care about him, and asking his two maids to promote him was considered to be a promotion. ”

Diexiang said with some shock: "That's it? ”

Xiao Chen nodded as a matter of course and said, "That's it!" ”

Diexiang still didn't ease up for a while, after all, in her heart, Xiao Chen's reaction after facing Ling Hu Chu's assassination this time, plus the maid who wanted Ling Hu Chu tonight, are all Yong'an's best ways to deal with the current situation, and even if she is as smart as her, she only understands the subtlety of this after realizing it.

Reducing one enemy, enlisting two helpers, and establishing their own prestige, this series of layouts, Diexiang secretly called invulnerable.

But when the reason came out of Xiao Chen's mouth, Diexiang felt that everything was so joking.

Or is the prince a genius?

Looking at Diexiang's eyes that still didn't want to believe, Xiao Chen said with some uncertainty: "Maybe it's also because I feel that I have treated you and Du Yingying badly, after all, the two of you were once stars sought after by tens of millions of people, but after following me Xiao Chen, it was all the way to the dust, and I had to be frightened all day long, Sun Simiao has a maid, so I naturally want a bowl of water." ”

Listening to Xiao Chen's explanation, Diexiang only felt that her mind was a little confused for a while.

She didn't know whether to believe what Xiao Chen said, judging from what Xiao Chen had done before, this possibility was not impossible, but if what Xiao Chen said was false, it would be terrible.

In the past, she always felt that she could completely control the cooperation she tried her best to promote, but now she began to have some self-doubts, and she didn't even dare to imagine that if everything was disguised by Xiao Chen today, then whether Xiao Chen and Li Luo's cooperation was intentional on his part, let alone the sincerity of Xiao Chen's cooperation, and what was everything he was trying to do behind his series of actions.

Seeing Diexiang fall into a stupor, Xiao Chen lightly touched Diexiang's arm and said, "Hey, what do you want?" ”

Diexiang, who came back to her senses, hurriedly smiled, and responded with a dodgy look: "It's nothing, it's just cranky." ”

But how could Diexiang's clumsy acting skills fool Xiao Chen, who wanders among flowers all year round?

The corners of his mouth hooked up a wicked smile, Xiao Chen said mysteriously: "You girl don't think that I am the kind of master who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, and I don't do my job properly, but in fact, I have hidden tricks, right?" ”

Diexiang looked at Xiao Chen, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Looking at the default Diexiang, Xiao Chen shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Harm, I thought you were thinking something, it turned out to be this." ”

Diexiang said urgently: "Is that the prince?" ”

The smile on Xiao Chen's face was even stronger, and he playfully hooked Diexiang's chin and said, "Aren't you good at people's hearts?" Du Yingying, who doesn't even eat oil and salt, has no power to fight back in front of you, can you guess whether this king is or not? ”

Diexiang showed a look of disappointment, and turned her head angrily slapping Xiao Chen's hand away: "If you don't say it, you won't say it, as if anyone wants to hear it!" ”

Seeing that Diexiang was angry, Xiao Chen finally laughed, since he knew Diexiang, he had been led by Diexiang like a puppet, and now he finally raised his eyebrows and exhaled, which can make Diexiang's great beauty deflated, but it is really not easy.

After laughing, Xiao Chen shook his head a little disappointed and said: "Actually, this king did think about working hard before, and even privately thought about turning the tide with his own strength and being a big hero who saved the country and the people." ”

With a long sigh, Xiao Chen continued: "It's a pity, this thought just flashed in my mind, and I didn't even fully write it down for him, but it was occupied by that romantic thought, you say, how can you little goblins look so beautiful, as if you are deliberately trying to mess with my mind." ”

Seeing that Xiao Chen began to be serious again as he spoke, Diexiang let go of Xiao Chen's hand angrily, stepped aside and said, "In this case, the slave family should stay away from the prince, and strive not to mess with the prince's mind." ”

Xiao Chen, who was cocooned and self-bound, smiled awkwardly and couldn't say a word......

After entering Yangnan City, he finally entered the territory under the complete jurisdiction of the Guizhou State, and Sun Yue, the Taishou of Yangnan City, led 10,000 soldiers to welcome the Wei State and his party from afar.

Wei State's recruitment banquet, if you want to talk about the lineup of the banquet, Wei is destined to be undoubtedly well-deserved. Although the people who came were all princes and important ministers, the emperor came in person, and the Wei State was definitely the only one...... Even if Emperor Wei is not willing to come, but after all, he is here.

At the gate of the city, after Bai Qi and Sun Yu exchanged pleasantries, they entered Yangnan City under the leadership of Sun Yue.

Originally, Sun Yu had already set up a rich banquet for everyone, but Bai Qi was already late at night, and the emperor refused on the grounds that he needed to rest. Sun Yue was not reluctant, so he could only arrange the banquet to the second day.

In the post house, Du Yingying's three daughters, who were already exhausted, went back to their rooms to rest as soon as they got out of the carriage, and as for the 1,000 Yingge guards who accompanied Xiao Chen, they could naturally only treat each other as soldiers, leaving 500 people to guard the post house, and the other 500 people to live in the Yangnan military camp.

In the post house, Xiao Chen, who had been running around for a day, was about to rest, when a bright torch suddenly came from outside the courtyard, illuminating the night.

Wu Liang quickly ran into the courtyard, bowed to Xiao Chen, and said, "Lord Wang, they are the people who patrol the king of the west, and they are here again." ”

Because of the previous assassination in the Soul Gorge, Wu Liang's impression of Ling Hu Chu has always been not very good, although Xiao Chen is not to blame in the past, but Wu Liang still remembers this hatred in his heart, so there is also some anger in his tone.

"Oh?" Xiao Chen was surprised, and showed an unexpectedly expression.

The intention of the king of Xunxi, Xiao Chen didn't need to listen to it to know, he probably sent someone to himself, after all, it was the two maids and him, the king of Yong'an, who had just beaten him to a pulp, how to choose, Ling Hu Chu was not old and confused, so he naturally knew how to choose.

But coming in the middle of the night like this still made Xiao Chen a little unexpected.

With a hint of banter in his eyes, Xiao Chen chuckled and said, "Let's go, go out and have a look." ”

As soon as he led Wu Liang out of the far gate, he saw that outside the far gate, Zhuang Shu led hundreds of men with swords and armor, standing quietly at the gate of the courtyard, and the five hundred guards of the Qunying Pavilion stopped those soldiers with a vigilant face, looking at the cold and solemn expressions of those soldiers, Xiao Chen couldn't help but be in a trance, I didn't know, I thought that Linghu Chu was here to ask the teacher.

Smiling slightly, Xiao Chen pointed to the group of soldiers and said, "Mr. Zhuang Shu, on such a big night, it is ...... to send such a big battle to my post house."

Zhuang Shu laughed, arched his hand at Xiao Chen and said, "Naturally, I came to give a gift to the prince." ”

Saying that, Zhuang Shu waved his hand lightly behind him, and then, the two armored men walked out with two young girls with graceful bodies, judging from the appearance of the two girls, they were still green and green, but it made Xiao Chen sigh for a while, you said how old Hu Chu is, he still likes such a little girl, and his mother can play better than him.

That is, I asked them by mistake, otherwise it would have been two flowers inserted in cow dung.

When the second daughter walked to the front, Zhuang Shu suddenly said in a loud voice: "The emperor's grace is vast, give Xiao Chen and me Linghu Qin. Jin is good, this king reads Xiao Chen hard and simple, no one takes care of him when he goes out, and he gives the two daughters of wind sleeves and frost and rain to Xiao Chen to show his heart. ”

After speaking, Zhuang Shu immediately put a smile on his face and said: "Lord, this is the oral training of the prince of my family, let me be sure to read it out in public, so as to deter those guys who secretly harbor suspicions and hope that you and I will fight among the two families, and I hope that the prince will understand." ”

Xiao Chen smiled thoughtfully, but nodded again and again: "Since it was arranged by Lord Linghu, I naturally understand." ”

Wu Liang, who was beside Xiao Chen, glanced at Zhuang Shu coldly and said, "Give? Your prince is at the same level as my prince, why did he use this word? ”

"This ......" Zhuang Shu glanced at Wu Liang who suddenly appeared in surprise.

Xiao Chen glanced at Wu Liang, and said with a smile: "Let me introduce to my husband, this is Wu Liang, the deputy commander of the Yongan Black Armor Army, you also know that the people in this army are vulgar and habitual, and they have always had one thing to say, and they are offensive, you can't talk nonsense with my father-in-law after you go back." ”

Saying that, Xiao Chen said to Wu Liang: "No matter what the Linghu prince says, he is also the father of my future wife, he sent the maids I wanted to be beside him, the old man is so generous, I, Xiao Chen, as a junior, how can I care about the elders?" Isn't it just one word, why don't you apologize to Mr. Zhuang Shu soon? ”

Wu Liang didn't like Linghu Chu in his heart, and naturally he wouldn't have a good face for Ling Huchu's people, but Xiao Chen had already spoken, and Wu Liang had no choice but to arch his hand at Zhuang Shu with a dissatisfied face:

"Mr. Zhuang, I'm sorry, but, with the grade of my prince, except for His Majesty today, who dares to say this word? I also hope that the prince of the west will pay more attention in the future, and don't let outsiders misunderstand that the prince has the intention of rebellion, and it will affect the prince of my family. ”

Zhuang Shu squeezed out an unnatural smile on his face, and waved his hand again and again: "It's a trivial matter, but Commander Wu reminded me that I will tell the prince when I go back!" ”
