Yue Han looked at the national teacher hesitantly: "My lord, do you still want to keep an eye on the five princes?" ”

The national teacher pondered for a moment and waved his hand: "That's it, just leave one or two people, and the rest of the people will withdraw and look at the other princes." ”

"Yes."

Yue Han was about to retreat after answering, but the national teacher stopped him again, "Wait......"

Yue Han looked up at him, but saw that the national teacher's expression was a little indescribable, he was stunned, and then reacted, and said tentatively: "The prayer platform said that the saint has been in a lot better health recently, and her spirit is also good, and it is estimated that it will be fine in a few days." ”

The national teacher pursed his lips: "Got it." ”

This time it was really fine, and Yue Han retreated.

When the door was closed and the study was quiet, the national teacher finally relieved his strength, leaned back, leaned on the back of the chair, and his eyes fell on a certain point in the void, and he was stunned.

What do you do next? If the five princes are really not as simple as they seem, he may really be seeking skin with the tiger, but he has already sent someone to contact the five princes, and the five princes also intend to marry Lan Shuang as their wife, and they regret it directly, which is a bit troublesome.

And the five princes are the puppet candidates he has been observing for so long, if he is replaced at this time, the five princes jump over the wall in a hurry and run to the emperor to expose themselves, he will have to shed his skin if he does not die.

What to do?

There is no turning back arrow when opening the bow, even if it is wrong, now it can only be wrong to the end, otherwise you can only choose the prince, but although the prince is stupid, he is restless, and when he ascends the throne, others will blow the wind on the pillow, and I am afraid that I will be the first to take the knife myself.

The national teacher is completely in a predicament.

After 20 years of hard work, he finally trapped himself in the same place and could not advance or retreat.

……

The next day, he entered the palace to visit the emperor with two black circles under his eyes, and the emperor asked a few words with concern, and the national teacher got off the donkey and said: "Your Majesty's dragon body is sick, and the minister can't eat or sleep, and he prays and recites the scriptures day and night, so that he looks haggard, but the minister looks much better at His Majesty's complexion, and the minister thinks it's worth it." ”

When the emperor heard this, he was quite moved, and held the hand of the national teacher and said with emotion: "The Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, but you are the only one who treats me sincerely, but I hate them for being loyal and patriotic, but they are all thinking about how to calculate me." ”

The national teacher lowered his eyes, pulled out his hand without a trace, and tucked the quilt for the emperor, "The weather is getting colder and colder, even if the earth dragon is burning, Your Majesty must be careful." ”

The emperor did not notice his dislike, but became more and more moved, and babbled a bunch of things that he had and did not let him go until he was in good spirits.

After he left the palace, he was about to get into the carriage, when he saw a person standing next to the carriage, with a long body and a deep and tough outline, without saying a word, with a solemn aura.

He frowned, and the man noticed his gaze and immediately looked over and nodded at him, "Master Guoshi." ”

The national teacher walked over, and his attendant was also standing next to the carriage, with a sad face, and when he saw him, he seemed to have found the backbone, "My lord, General Xin said that he was looking for you for something, so he had to stand here and wait for you to come out." ”

The national teacher's eyes fell on Xin Wujiang's face, and Xin Wujiang let him look at it without changing his face, "I do have something important to discuss with the national teacher, I don't know if the national teacher has time to talk about it?" ”

"Heh-" The national teacher chuckled: "The general is waiting for me here, it doesn't seem like he cares about whether I'm free or not." ”

Xin Wujiang raised his eyebrows: "Then this is free, national teacher, please-"

With a wave of his hand, he pointed to the carriage of the General's Mansion next to him.

The squire of the national teacher stepped forward, "You-"

The national teacher raised his hand: "It's okay, it just so happens that I also have to talk to the general, since I have caught up, let's go." ”

Squire: "The ......"

"Go back."

"Yes."

……

The national teacher and Xin Wujiang sat in the carriage, and no one took the lead to speak, and the atmosphere seemed to be solidified.

Xin Wujiang stared at the mask of the national teacher twice, then looked away and took a sip of tea, spitting in his heart.

The big man hides his head and tail, and at first glance he is not a serious person, and there must be a ghost in his heart.

The national teacher also looked at Xin Wujiang, this face is really good-looking, handsome and tough, no wonder he has captured the hearts of the nobles of Kyoto.

Blue Frost ......

Xin Wujiang: Lan Shuang definitely won't like this kind of person.

National Teacher: Lan Shuang might like this kind of person, right?

The two of them thought of Lan Shuang in unison, causing Lan Shuang to sneeze several times during the meal, almost choking herself to death.

In the end, she lost her appetite and went out to bask in the sun.

And the two men went straight to the largest restaurant in Kyoto in a carriage, and after getting off the car, Xin Wujiang asked for a private room.

The drunkard didn't mean to drink, and the two of them didn't come to eat specifically, so they sent everyone away after ordering a few dishes casually, and closed the door to get ready to get down to business.

"I don't go around in circles with you, I am happy with Lanshuang and want to marry her as a wife, I don't know what the national teacher wants?"

Xin Wujiang picked up the wine jug and poured a glass of wine for the national teacher.

The national teacher narrowed his eyes: "Xinyue Shuang'er? If I'm not mistaken, you've only met once at the prince's birthday banquet, and you're happy? That's too hasty, isn't it? ”

"Don't the national teachers know that it is love at first sight?" Xin Wujiang filled himself again, but he didn't drink it, just put it on the table.

The national teacher laughed: "I don't believe it, but I just want to see it." ”

"Whether it's lust or love, as long as you can achieve the final goal, what's the difference?" Xin Wujiang pulled his lips, "Didn't you cultivate Lanshuang just to consolidate your power?" But now you are a thorn in everyone's side, once the emperor falls, your life will not be easy, right? ”

The national teacher's eyes were slightly cold, and he didn't say anything.

Xin Wujiang continued: "I am the same as a thorn in the side of others, if you win over others, it is better to win over me, at least I have the military power in hand, as long as I don't take the initiative to commit crimes, it is not difficult to protect myself." ”

The national teacher still didn't speak.

This time, Xin Wujiang didn't speak anymore.

The two fell into an eerie silence, the food gradually became colder, and neither of them moved a single chopstick.

Xin Wujiang didn't speak, he said everything he should have said, it depends on how the national teacher weighs it.

How do national teachers weigh up?

He didn't really want to weigh it, because as soon as he saw Xin Wujiang, he felt uneasy, and he couldn't tell which side was uneasy, so he didn't want to agree.

But no matter how you look at it, Lan Shuang marrying him is indeed better than marrying the fifth prince, especially now that the situation on the fifth prince's side is unknown.

However, if Lan Shuang is married to Xin Wujiang, on the side of the fifth prince, he will lack a bargaining chip.

"Marriage is a big event, don't play with children, General Xin is young and promising, I naturally appreciate it very much, but Shuang'er's child has been spoiled by me since she was a child, and she has a strong temper, I still have to ask her about this matter."

Xin Wujiang laughed secretly in his heart when he heard this, but he didn't know that Lan Shuang took the initiative to find him, and Lan Shuang's side had already settled down.

It is impossible for the national teacher to be completely ignorant, so he is procrastinating.

As for what to procrastinate......

Xin Wujiang smiled: "Naturally, then we will wait for the good news of the national teacher." ”

The national teacher smiled, picked up the wine glass and drank it all before getting up: "I drank this glass of wine, I still have something to do, so I won't accompany me much, and I will leave." ”
