Chapter 173: Divergence

Making such a deal with Jiang Huai is a very cost-effective thing for Zhao Fengnian.

The only thing that needs to be cared about is whether Jiang Huai will help Zhao Fengnian as agreed.

People like Jiang Huai will only put their own needs first, and he won't care about how the north is or how Zhao Fengnian is.

Once he got what he wanted, it was impossible for Jiang Huai to sincerely help Zhao Fengnian.

Rui Xue didn't believe that Zhao Fengnian didn't understand how dangerous and strange it was to make a deal with Jiang Huai.

"Why do you have to be involved with him like this?"

Rui Xue wanted to know Zhao Fengnian's truest thoughts at this time.

Zhao Fengnian stared at the steaming tea in his hand and said softly.

"I don't think it's why, I just think it's a good deal, looking at the entire Kyoto City, except for the saint, the only one who can do this is Zuo Xiang."

Rui Xue's heart seemed to be tightly gripped, and Zhao Fengnian didn't know about the festivals and grievances between her and Jiang Huai.

The reason why she obeyed the arrangement to marry Zhao Fengnian without resistance was largely to get rid of Jiang Huai and the Xiangfu's control over her.

To be able to go so far and recapture Eighteen Mile Pu from Jiang Huai's hands, how much thought and time did she take.

The man in front of him clearly knew why he had to get involved with Jiang Huai.

She didn't ask Zhao Fengnian to shelter her from the wind and rain, or to take revenge.

But why can't he even walk side by side and be consistent with the outside world.

In Rui Xue's eyes, he was undoubtedly stabbing Rui Xue in the back by doing this.

He obviously knew that he was interested in Beique's trade route, and he hadn't asked him for help, but he agreed to Jiang Huai first.

Rui Xue's hand holding the teacup became tighter and tighter, and the hot tea spilled out, and she didn't even notice it.

If that's not betrayal, then what is.

Rui Xue suddenly felt a little like laughing, she thought that even if Zhao Fengnian wouldn't help her, at least he wouldn't hurt her.

But now that I think about it, everything I did was probably like a joke in Zhao Fengnian's eyes.

Yes, what do you have, and how can you compare it to Sasho, who has been running in Kyoto for decades.

What she can give Zhao Fengnian is not worth a promise from Zuo Xiang.

Zhao Fengnian does not cooperate with himself, it is the choice of a mature person.

The help and support he wants is something he can't give now.

Zhao Fengnian just made the choice that was most beneficial to him and the northern realm.

She is not even qualified to blame and resent Zhao Fengnian, because she is too weak now and does not even have the conditions to enter the chess game.

The grain sent to the north seemed to be helping Zhao Feng survive the crisis every year.

But who wouldn't understand that without Zhao Fengnian's coordination and help, those caravans would now have entered the north.

If it weren't for Zhao Fengnian's help, how could she successfully recapture Eighteen Mile Pu from Jiang Huai.

She approached Zhao Fengnian with a purpose, but Zhao Fengnian's help to her was never conditional.

For a while, Rui Xue thought a lot, from the moment she stepped into King Ning's Mansion, until today.

She thinks that she knows enough about Zhao Fengnian, and has always believed that the two can cooperate well and make progress together.

But now it seems that she doesn't understand the man in front of her at all.

He was not as cold and ignorant as Ruixue saw at this time.

He knows everything, knows the best at judging the situation, and knows what to do is in his best interest.

Ruixue's brain was a little messy, and the part of her finger that was burned spread with a slight pain.

For a while, I couldn't tell whether the injury was more painful or the heart was more painful.

He glanced at his fingers, which had turned red, into his sleeves.

With a trembling voice, he said to Zhao Fengnian: "Then I wish the prince and Zuo Xiang a happy cooperation." I still have something to do, so let's go first. ”

Zhao Fengnian was speechless for a while, of course he knew how much trouble it would bring to Rui Xue by doing so.

But if he didn't do this, Jiang Huai would only use more insidious means to deal with Rui Xue after he left, so as to force himself to compromise.

Zhao Fengnian would rather face Jiang Huai himself than have any trouble with Ruixue.

It's just that he is too bad at expressing himself, and he can't even express one-tenth of his thoughts clearly.

It's just that Rui Xue is an extremely smart and a master who loves to think a lot, and it is about her scumbag father, and there are some who can't understand it for a while.

Rui Xue didn't know what kind of mentality and face to face Zhao Fengnian at this time.

In just a few words, the relationship between the two returned to the past.

got up and walked out, but was grabbed by Zhao Fengnian's wrist.

"It's all red, let's take some medicine."

Rui Xue was only disappointed in her heart, and she jerked her hand back.

"I will, Lord take care of yourself."

Zhao Fengnian's palm was lost for a while, and he looked at Rui Xue's back without looking back, feeling a little distressed.

It's angry, it's okay, at least because he is no longer coerced by anyone to do what she doesn't want to do.

As long as you don't care, you won't get hurt.

Ruixue stood in front of the door and took a deep breath, the cold winter air cleared his mind a little.

The cold air reached my lungs, and I always felt more pain in my heart.

Seeing Xiao Tao Xiaoxing walking towards her from the ear room, she hurriedly put on a smiling face.

stepped forward and grabbed the arms of the two: "Let's go, let's go out for a walk." ”

Xiao Xing glanced into the house: "Lord Wang, it's okay." It's over so soon, but Xiangye is going to embarrass Miss again. ”

Rui Xue shook her head: "I'm just a small character, what they want to do is big things, what qualifications do I have to participate, I can't even reach the level of being embarrassed." Don't think about it, I think it's good, let's just live our own lives in the future, and don't worry about anything. ”

Gu Lian set up the carriage and waited in front of the courtyard gate: "What Miss wants, Steward Xia has already asked someone to buy it, shall we go around in another place?" I heard that today's ball game is going on to sixteen into eight, do you want to go and see it? ”

"There are Uncle Li and Qian Lao staring over there, don't worry about me, I'll watch it when our team from Ning Wangfu enters the finals." I'm not riding today, I want to ride a horse. ”

Gu Lian smiled and agreed: "Okay, the young lady will go to change her clothes, and I will lead the horse over." ”

"You don't have to change your clothes, just this one, it doesn't matter."

Kyoto City is not a good place to ride a horse, but Ruixue held her breath in her heart, only such an exciting sport as horseback riding could make her feel better.

Now that it has entered the lunar month, the New Year will be celebrated in a few days, and the city is also very lively because of the ball game.

Everywhere is full of lights, red silk is flying, and the decoration is particularly festive.

It's a little too early to dress up like this for the New Year.

After asking Xiao Tao, I learned that in a few days, Bishui's envoy would come to Dalan.

Make these preparations, not only because of the New Year, but also to welcome the envoys of the blue water.
