Chapter 53: How about a bet
The night was dark, and the lights were dim in the library.
Du Shaoguang observed Xu Yu, as if he wanted to see his intention from his expression.
Xu Yu looked at Du Shaoguang and Mu Yunzhou lightly, and said, "I came here to resolve a senseless fight. ”
"What do you mean by this?" Mu Yunzhou vaguely guessed Xu Yu's intention in his heart, but he still pretended not to know and asked.
Xu Yu looked directly at him and said, "What did the prince do, don't you understand?" ”
Mu Yunzhou and Du Shaoguang glanced at each other, still pretending to be at a loss, "This king really doesn't know, Ciqing might as well say it if he has something to say." ”
"Why did the prince kill Xiao Yan?"
Seeing that Mu Yunzhou had been pretending to be confused, Xu Yu simply went straight to the point and asked directly.
Mu Yunzhou narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "When is this king going to kill Xiao Yan?" ”
"Since I'm here, I naturally understand it clearly, so why should the prince hide it from me?" Xu Yu's tone was a little cold, "I always thought that the prince was a loyal gentleman, but I didn't expect to do such a thing, could the prince have forgotten the siege of Baicheng?" ”
Qin Wan was besieged by Baicheng, and he was already completely sure that those black-clothed people were sent by King Xing.
At the beginning, after Mu Yunzhou returned to Qin Tianfu, Qin Tianfu asked Mu Yunzhou to march into the capital from the right side of Huaiyang Mansion, but in Gyeonggi Baicheng, Mu Yunzhou made a mistake in using troops and suffered heavy casualties.
If Xu Yu hadn't sent Xiao Yan to the rescue, I'm afraid Mu Yunzhou would have died a long time ago.
It can be said that Xu Yu and Xiao Yan have a life-saving grace for Mu Yunzhou.
Mu Yunzhou saw that Xu Yu was so determined, and he no longer hid it, and said without shame: "It's not that this king insists on killing Xiao Yan, it's just that he has the people this king wants by his side, when he was on the battlefield, Xiao Yan did help this king, and when he died, the prince would bury him and take care of his family." ”
"Who does the prince want?" Xu Yu asked.
"Princess Wan." Mu Yunzhou confessed directly.
Xu Yu's face changed, and he said unhappily: "Does the prince know that Princess Wan is already Xiao Yan's wife?" ”
Friends and wives, don't be bullied.
What's more, Xiao Yan had a life-saving grace for Mu Yunzhou.
Mu Yunzhou said: "Although Princess Wan is married to Xiao Yan, but Xiao Yan doesn't like her at all, this king heard that Xiao Yan has not returned to the house once after getting married, and now Xiao Yan has become a dying person, this king really admires Princess Wan, do you want to watch her stay alive and widowed?" ”
A cold light flashed under Xu Yu's eyes, but he still said calmly: "Lord Wang, why don't we make a bet?" ”
"Oh? What to bet on? Mu Yunzhou was interested.
"Bet you won't be able to kill Xiao Yan this time." Xu Yu said.
Mu Yunzhou twisted his eyebrows, he knew that Qin Wan had already rushed back, this woman was not ordinary, although he sent two teams of killers, he was still not sure in his heart.
Without waiting for Mu Yunzhou to answer, Du Shaoguang said, "What about the bet?" ”
"If I win, you can't attack Xiao Yan again, Xiao Yan is already highly poisoned and in danger, even if you don't make a move, there is a high chance that he will die, after he dies, I will not interfere in the matter between you and Princess Wan." Xu Yu said.
"If you lose, stay and be the prince's advisor!"
As soon as Xu Yu's words fell, Du Shaoguang said eagerly.
After speaking, he vaguely felt that something was wrong.
After all, Xu Yu's condition, Mu Yunzhou almost didn't have to pay anything, it was too simple.
But their condition is to want Xu Yu's free body.
Du Shaoguang secretly observed Xu Yu's expression, worried that he might be angry, but Xu Yu didn't look surprised, and Du Shaoguang breathed a sigh of relief.
However, even if Xu Yu was angry this time, Du Shaoguang did not regret what he said just now.
After all, if you want to recruit Xu Yu, such an opportunity may never be available again in the future.
is also a strategist, although he knows that Xu Yu will definitely replace him as the first strategist when he comes to Mu Yunzhou's background, but even if he takes a back seat, he has no regrets.
Being able to work with someone like Xu Yu who is the most talented in the world is something he dreams of.
Mu Yunzhou had the grace of knowing him, and he swore to assist Mu Yunzhou in the great cause.
As long as there is Xu Yu, Mu Yunzhou can conquer the world when he advances, and he can defend Huaiyang when he retreats, and he has no worries in this life.
And he has no regrets.
Although Du Shaoguang asked Xu Yu to leave something offensive, Mu Yunzhou didn't even reprimand him on the surface, obviously Du Shaoguang's words were also what he meant.
"Okay."
Originally, they were ready to be rejected, but they didn't expect Xu Yu to agree.
Du Shaoguang was immediately overjoyed, hurriedly went over and shook Xu Yu's hand, and said: "Ciqing, as long as you are willing to come, I am willing to abdicate and make way for Xian, from now on, you will definitely be above 10,000 people under one person in the palace." ”
Xu Yu smiled lightly, quietly withdrew his hand from Du Shaoguang's hand, and said lightly: "Whether you lose or win, you don't know yet." ”
On the other side, Qin Wan and the others came down from the mountain and came to Dongfang Lan's mansion when they were already on the moon.
The moonlight was bright, as if a layer of silver light was shrouded in the entire mountain forest, and the house in the forest seemed to be more and more deep and quiet.
Two red lanterns hung at the gate, which were also lit up at this time, illuminating the path ahead.
"Mr. Dongfang, Princess Wan, we won't bother, and we will send someone to take you to Fucheng early tomorrow morning." Liu Shenjun stopped in front of the gate and said.
Men and women are not kissed, and it is inconvenient for him to spend the night here in Dongfang Lan.
What's more, he also has dozens of brothers with him.
"I'm tired of Liu joining the army." Qin Wan said politely.
"Don't bother, don't bother, the princess can just tell me if she has something to say." Liu Senjun hurriedly said.
Liu Senjun left with all his subordinates, Zhang Xiaoshan also went down the mountain and went home with him, and Xu Qing and Jiang Chuan stayed.
A few people walked to the gate, and Qin Wan glanced at the three vigorous and powerful characters on the plaque in front of the courtyard - Drinking Xuezhai.
This word looks beautiful and natural, like the quiet artistic conception of the distant mountains and light ink, but if you look closely, the pen is sharp, bold and magnificent, it is really a fine product.
"This is written by the gentleman?" Qin Wan asked casually.
Before Dongfang Lan could speak, Xiaolian on the side rubbed up with a smile, and said in an ambiguous tone: "This is Mr. Xu's handwriting, he specially wrote it for my husband." ”
"My handwriting is not good, so I asked Xu Yu to help with the inscription." Dongfang Lan explained.
Qin Wan vaguely sensed something from their words, but this was a matter between Dongfang Lan and Xu Yu, she didn't ask more, but said lightly: "I have heard for a long time that Xu Yu's calligraphy and painting are unique, and now it seems that what he said is true." ”
Hearing Qin Wan praise Xu Yu, although Dongfang Lan didn't show it on her face, she could still feel very happy, she pushed the door and walked into the courtyard, "Princess Wan, please come in." ”
"Xiaolian, you go and prepare some food." Entering the courtyard, Dongfang Lan instructed Xiaolian and said to Qin Wan: "The guest room on the left is still empty, take the prince there to rest first, let's have dinner, and then study and treat together." ”
