Yesterday's good student hospitality was not useless, and the true intentions of the Cao family were probably revealed to her today!

After tidying up a little, Qin Shuhuang went to the big study in the front yard under the leadership of the Cao family.

When he entered the big study, he found that Liu Renci had arrived first, and Xie Xuanye was standing behind Liu Renci.

Cao Jian saw Qin Shuhuang coming, got up and saluted Qin Shuhuang enthusiastically, and then everyone sat down.

Qin Shuhuang came, and Xie Xuanye naturally stood behind Qin Shuhuang.

Liu Renci got straight to the point, "I don't know what General Cao invited us for?" ”

Cao Jian waved his hand, and all the maids and servants serving in the room retreated, leaving only Cao Zhiyuan and an ordinary-looking old servant behind him.

Cao Jian smiled, didn't answer Liu Renci's words, but said: "Cao just received the news this morning that General Liu and his people have arrived near Xia Gong City, I'm afraid that it won't take tomorrow to get to Xia Gong City tonight." ”

Liu Renci's gray eyebrows furrowed, "What does General Cao mean?" ”

Cao Jian took out a letter from the wooden box on his desk and handed it to the old servant beside him, who walked up to Qin Shuhuang with the letter in his hand and gave the letter to Qin Shuhuang, "Please also ask Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to take a look." ”

Qin Shuhuang took the letter and saw the sender on the letter at a glance.

It's the Regent!

She turned her head to glance at Cao Jian, who smiled at the corner of his mouth and stroked his short beard.

Qin Shuhuang opened the letter and read the contents of the letter.

The regent personally wrote to Cao Jian, asking him to cooperate with General Liu to kill Qin Shuhuang in Xia Gongcheng and Beidi, as long as he could kill Qin Shuhuang, any consequences caused would be borne by him.

At the end of the letter there is the regent's private seal, which is definitely the regent's own handwriting.

After reading the letter, Qin Shuhuang handed the letter to Liu Renci, who was sitting next to him.

Qin Shuhuang's gaze fell on Cao Jian's face, "What does General Cao mean by showing this letter to the palace?" ”

"It is said that His Royal Highness is different from ordinary women, Cao Mou didn't realize it before, but from yesterday to today's contact, Cao Mou has to admit that His Royal Highness is bold and intelligent! Cao is the regent's person, and it is said that after Cao received the regent's letter, what he should have done yesterday was to assassinate His Royal Highness. But Cao didn't do it, and he didn't want to do it. If His Highness is willing, Cao can even send someone to protect His Highness from General Liu's assassination! ”

Qin Shuhuang didn't show any different expression on his face because of Cao Jian's words.

After two lifetimes, Qin Shuhuang knew that there was no free lunch in the world, everything was clearly marked from the beginning, and he didn't have to pay it back now, and he would need to pay it back in the future.

Qin Shuhuang's composure made Cao Jian look at her again.

It seems that he inquired correctly, it was not that the regent sent the eldest princess to Beidi to discuss trade matters, but that the regent was coerced by the eldest princess and had to do so!

With the loss of the Tobe Shangshu, the regent's control over Dawu has been slowly shaken!

"Your conditions!" Qin Shuhuang said neatly.

"Good! Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is happy! Cao Jian laughed.

After laughing, Cao Jian continued: "Actually, our Cao family doesn't ask for much, we just hope that after the trade route between Dawu and Beidi is unblocked, our Cao family will run this side of Xia Gongcheng for the imperial court." ”

As soon as Cao Jian's words came out, the fox tail of the Cao family was finally fully exposed.

It's just the scattered black market, which makes the Cao family make a lot of money.

They saw huge benefits from the trade between the two countries, so they had to come out and compete for it.

If there were formal channels for the two countries to trade, the income would be countless times higher than now!

The Cao family is still asking for too much, and they are not afraid of eating too much to die!

Liu Renci heard Cao Jian's words, and his eyebrows tightened.

There was a hint of sarcasm on the corner of Qin Shuhuang's mouth, did the Cao family really treat her as a fool?

She didn't reply to Cao Jian's words, and looked away, as if refusing to talk to Cao Jian again.

The smile on Cao Jian's face gradually became unbearable, and he clenched his fists, "Your Highness really thinks that my strength Cao is not good?" Let His Highness disappear quietly in Xia Gong City, even if there is no General Liu, Cao can do it. ”

At this time, the corners of Qin Shuhuang's mouth brought a shallow smile, "General Cao really thinks that the envoy team is so small?" There is no one except Bengong and Lord Liu? Do you really think that the Xu family is a wine bag and rice bag? Let you stay in the palace in the Cao family? Even if you kill this palace today, someone will continue to be responsible for the affairs of Beidi trade! When the time comes, the palace will disappear into your Cao family, and you will never have a chance to talk about any conditions! ”

Qin Shuhuang's words instantly made Cao Jian's face turn like earth.

This time is related to the rise and fall of the Cao family, and it must not be hasty.

has been dormant for so long, and has been planning in Xia Gongcheng for so long, and he can't lose everything just because he didn't negotiate a negotiation.

At that time, not only will the Cao family not be able to plan the benefits they want, but they will also be cleaned up by the regent!

Cao Jian pulled out a hint of laughter, "Your Highness is angry, Cao is used to being vulgar in the barracks, and what he says is a joke." ”

Qin Shuhuang didn't eat his set, and snorted coldly.

Cao Jian immediately said: "As long as Your Highness agrees to what the Cao family asks, the Cao family will definitely help deal with General Liu and protect the safety of His Highness in Beidi and back to Beijing!" ”

Qin Shuhuang was unmoved.

"Cao is willing to let go of the Xu family, and from now on he will no longer compete with the Xu family in this Xia Gong City, and the same will be true in the border army."

Qin Shuhuang's expression remained unchanged.

Cao Jian gritted his teeth and continued to increase, "Cao can provide His Royal Highness with evidence that the regent colluded with Beidi!" ”

Qin Shuhuang's face finally had a hint of interest.

Even Liu Renci, who had been frowning, had a hint of shock on his face.

He looked at Qin Shuhuang and called out softly, "Your Highness."

Cao Jian was excited in his heart, and immediately got up and knelt in front of Qin Shuhuang, "Cao swears that as long as His Royal Highness agrees to Cao's small request, what Cao said will definitely come true one by one!" If Cao breaks his promise, the sky will thunder and cut off his children and grandchildren! ”

Qin Shuhuang seemed to have finally been moved by Cao Jian's words.

She sighed slightly, "Since General Cao is so sincere, this palace should respond to General Cao's request." ”

Liu Renci seemed to want to persuade again, but he opened his mouth and still didn't say anything, only shook his head helplessly.

Hearing Qin Shuhuang's words, Cao Jian was overjoyed in his heart, but he suppressed it, and he bowed down to Qin Shuhuang, "Thank you, Your Highness!" ”

At the end of this conversation in the big study, Qin Shuhuang said: "This palace wants to go to Xia Gongcheng today, I don't know if it's possible?" ”

"Your Highness, just take care of yourself! Cao will send guards to protect His Highness! ”

"There's General Law."

Qin Shuhuang did not refuse.

Cao Jian was even more happy in his heart.

Qin Shuhuang didn't care about his people following, indicating that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess had initially accepted their cooperation.

Cao Jian personally sent Qin Shuhuang, Liu Renci, and Xie Xuanye out of the big study.

watched a few people leave the courtyard of the large study.

When the people left, Cao Jian returned to the big study and let go of his voice and laughed a few times, and the excitement and joy in his heart were vented a little.

Seeing the general's appearance, the old servant next to him couldn't help but remind, "General, what if the eldest princess doesn't keep her promise at that time?" Also, Beidi cooperated with the regent with His Royal Highness the Wolf King, and His Royal Highness the Wolf King is your son-in-law, do you really want to offer His Royal Highness the Wolf King? ”

Cao Jian sneered, "Seventy percent of this Xia Gong City is our people, if the eldest princess doesn't hand over the trade seal to me before leaving, do you think she can really leave Xia Gong City?" As for the evidence of the regent's treason, there are so many princes in the Beidi royal court, anyone can use it! ”

"The general is wise!"
