Contract Prince

Chapter 44 Resentment "Minor Repair"

After meeting with the southern Chu mission, Xiao Zhan didn't go back to Prince An's Mansion, but hurriedly detoured to Zhenyuan Hou's Mansion, and told Gu Yunjing and Xiao Muxue what happened in the court hall.

Xiao Zhan said worriedly: "Tomorrow, Emperor Father will arrange for Yu Wenyan to meet with you. Since Yu Wenyan is not dead against Sister Xue'er, he must have a grudge against you. He is not Lu Zhong's generation, son-in-law, you should be more careful. Don't follow his way."

Unexpectedly, Gu Yunjing didn't take Xiao Zhan's worries to heart, she seemed to be more interested in Yu Wenyan's disappointment, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said with a smile: "Listening to His Highness Wang An's statement seems not enough, I can't Seeing Yu Wenyan's angry expression with my own eyes, I really feel regretful."

Xiao Muxue said: "The son-in-law will see you tomorrow, I think Yu Wenyan will be even more angry after seeing you."

"His Royal Highness is not only beautiful, but also interprets flower language."

Although Xiao Zhan is also smart, after all, he has no tacit understanding with Gu Yunjing and the others, so he didn't understand the meaning of their words.He was a little dazed, shouldn't he be thinking about how to deal with Yu Wenyan at this time, why did the couple play charades?

Xiao Zhan sighed a little: "I found out that my IQ has become insufficient when I'm with you. I always feel that your words are separated by a layer of fog. If you don't understand them well, you really can't figure them out for a while. the meaning of."

Gu Yunjing joked: "Then His Royal Highness Wang An really needs to work harder and try to improve his IQ so that he can contribute to the country and society in the future."

"This is all for later. This king is very curious, what is the meaning behind what sister Xue'er said just now?" Xiao Zhan returned to the main topic.

Xiao Muxue smiled: "Brother Emperor, although Yu Wenyan is a character, but in terms of resourcefulness, he is absolutely no match for the son-in-law. If he wants to embarrass the son-in-law, I'm afraid the son-in-law will embarrass him first."

Xiao Zhan knew Gu Yunjing's strategy. Yu Wenyan was naturally no match for the concubine in terms of martial arts, but how could a frail scholar-in-law be a match for Yu Wenyan, who was skilled in archery?

"Sister Xue'er is right, but what if Yu Wenyan wants to compete with the son-in-law? I think Yu Wenyan not only wants to embarrass the son-in-law, but also wants to use the name of the competition to harm the son-in-law. At that time, even if he Hurt the son-in-law, but the sword has no eyes, he has his own excuses. Even if the father wants to pursue it, I am afraid it will not be so easy."

This is what Xiao Zhan is most worried about.

Gu Yunjing pondered slightly, what Xiao Zhan said was not without reason.After thinking for a while, she said, "War contests are definitely not acceptable, but I have come up with a compromise. If Yu Wenyan really has this idea, this method should be effective."

Brother and sister Xiao Muxue said at the same time: "What way?"

Gu Yunjing replied very simply: "Shooting. Yu Wenyan relies on his strong riding and shooting skills. If I propose to shoot hunting, he will definitely not refuse."

Xiao Zhan stared, a little reluctant to agree with Gu Yunjing's answer.He said slowly: "Then Yu Wenyan is a man who has experienced many battles and is proficient in riding and shooting. You are weak, son-in-law, can you compare with him in shooting and hunting?"

Gu Yunjing said calmly: "Does His Royal Highness Wang An think that I will definitely lose?"

"Yes." Xiao Zhan said bluntly. After a pause, he continued, "But this is also a solution. It's okay to lose in hunting and hunting. The big deal is to lose face. It's much better than being injured by a sword when you compete with him."

Xiao Zhan didn't care about face at all. Compared with Gu Yunjing's safety, a small face is nothing to worry about.

Looking at this innocent prince, Gu Yunjing was very moved.She said with a lot of emotion: "Your Highness is sincere and kind. It will be a blessing for the common people to be in charge of the government in the future."

Thinking about his own situation, Xiao Zhan lowered his eyes and said, "I hope there will be such a day. It's getting late, and the words have been conveyed, so I will leave first."

"Wait a minute, Your Highness wait." Gu Yunjing called Xiao Zhan, "Yunjing still has something to ask His Highness."

"What's the matter?" Xiao Zhan asked calmly.

"Tao Ce's matter. I went out of Liyuanmen some time ago, so I don't know the details."

"I'm just an idle prince now, I don't have any authority, and I don't know the details. I just heard a little that the Qin Tianjian gave a memorial to the father, saying that it is to watch the sky at night, and it is not suitable to see blood this month, otherwise there will be disasters." Happened. Therefore, Tao Ce’s case has been postponed until next month.”

"I think this matter must have something to do with Lu Zhong, but I can't find evidence, Tao Ce is wronged."

"This case is indeed a bit tricky, and it will take some effort to find evidence." Gu Yunjing said with a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, there is still about a month, it seems that we have to hurry up, and I am afraid that we will have to trouble His Royal Highness King An."

Xiao Zhan said easy-goingly: "You don't have to be polite, we are all from our own family, if there is anything I can do for you, just ask, I will do my best to help."

"Thank you, Your Highness, Yunjing first." Gu Yunjing raised her hand and said respectfully.

Xiao Zhan nodded slightly, thinking that he would go back to the palace, so he didn't stay in the Hou's mansion, turned around and left.

After King An left, Xiao Muxue looked at Gu Yunjing: "You are too weak to pull a longbow. If you really want to compete with Yu Wenyan in shooting and hunting, don't be concerned about face, just admit defeat if you can."

Gu Yunjing smiled, deliberately joking with Xiao Muxue, tilted her head slightly and asked, "Does Your Highness look down on your husband-in-law so much?"

Xiao Muxue murmured: "I'm just worried about your body."

"Don't worry, I have my own measure, and I guarantee that I will be unscathed." Gu Yunjing whispered softly, and suddenly a little sharpness added to his gentle eyes, "An eye for an eye, if Yu Wenyan is too arrogant, I won't show mercy either."

"Yun Jing wants everyone to know that Her Royal Highness is not married to a pot of medicine, and I have the ability to protect your face and dignity." The son-in-law's tone became extremely serious.

Xiao Muxue stared blankly at the man in front of her, as if her thin shoulders could also become warm and strong, and could also protect her from wind and rain.

In the post house.

After Yu Wenyan came back from the court, his face had been slumped, he was dull and silent, and he hadn't had a drop of water all day. Yu Wenyan, who was decisive in killing and attacking, would never be depressed like this.

The envoys of Southern Chu couldn't bear to see the monarch suffering from Xiao Muxue's incident, so he stepped forward to persuade him, "Your Majesty, you should take care of your health. You are tied to the rise and fall of Southern Chu, so don't be sad because of a woman. Being trapped by love is not What a good man should do."

"Your Majesty has the ambition to compete in the Central Plains, so he should work hard to become stronger. He became the overlord of the four directions, and the beauties of the world are at his fingertips. How can he be a mere Xiao Muxue?"

Yu Wenyan propped his forehead, and sighed: "You don't know, Xiao Muxue is not an ordinary beauty, and her temperament is irreplaceable by anyone. She is the first woman I fell in love with, but unfortunately I still love her after all. Can't get her."

Yu Wenyan got up and punched the wall with his fist. He practiced martial arts all year round, and the wall was slightly dented by his fists, "Xiao Muxue, it is my lifelong ambition to get you. Come into my arms, Yu Wenyan!"

The force was too strong just now, and blood oozes slightly from the hand.After Yu Wenyan licked the blood on his hands dry with his lips, his fighting spirit was restored on his face, and he said in a deep voice: "You are right, right now, I should not indulge too much in the love of my children. I will continue to strive for self-improvement, and lead the soldiers of Southern Chu to open up territories, Compete everywhere!"

The envoy bowed his head and knelt down: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Yu Wenyan said: "Since this old man Xiao Guan has made me feel ashamed, he will not be able to go anywhere? Xiao Guo and Xiliang are fighting fiercely. At this time, we should make friends with Xiliang in private and let Xiao Guo The army has come under attack."

"Your Majesty should have done so long ago."

"I wanted to marry Xiao Muxue. Nan Chu and Xiao Guo are related by marriage. On this level of affection, I have some concerns. Now, it is Xiao Guanxian who broke the face with me. He is the first day of junior high school and I am tenth. Five, don't blame me for turning my face and denying people."

"Southern Chu has signed a contract with the Xiao Kingdom, and it is not suitable to send troops to attack the Xiao Kingdom's army. However, we can help Xiliang block their logistics. Once the food and grass are cut off, the Xiao Kingdom's army can only wait for death! I want to see Let's see how the Generalissimo Gu Wei will turn the tide?"

"Go back immediately, and send a secret letter of divorce to the king of Xiliang, saying that Nanchu is willing to cooperate with Xiliang. These days, you let him hang up the card of exemption from battle, and don't fight with Gu Wei's army. The specific matters will wait until I go back. Discuss with him."

Yu Wenyan sneered: "I'm going to decide on Xiao Guo's grain transportation route map!"

The envoy asked: "What is the law?"

"It's not easy. Didn't Xiao Guan dream that I would send troops to help Xiao Guo? Well, I will do as he wished. Send troops to help Xiao Guo. After finding out the details of Xiao Guo's army, we will join forces with Xiliang to kill them." He was caught off guard."

"Xiao Guo's army marched thousands of miles to the west, with a large number of people. The supply of food and grass is a big problem. Their way of fighting Xiliang is nothing more than adopting the mode of quick battle and quick decision, but who thought Xiliang could fight so well?"

"The fighting power of Xiliang is really not something to brag about. The longer it takes, the more unfavorable it will be for Xiao Guo. If Xiliang keeps playing the free card, Gu Wei is probably going to jump the wall in a hurry. Tell the king of Xiliang, procrastinate, procrastinate to death Gu Wei."

Yuwen Yanyin sneered: "When they are exhausted, let's cut off their food and make Gu Wei and his army starve to death!"

Speaking of Gu Wei, Yu Wenyan seemed to have thought of something, and asked, "That Gu Hejing is his son, right?"

The envoy replied: "Gu Yunjing, Prince Xiao's son-in-law."

Yu Wenyan snorted coldly, with the intent to kill: "Looks like it's not that enemies don't get together, Gu Wei's son stole my love, now I want my son to clean it up together."
