Chapter 262: Discussing the affairs of the world, the whip is penetrating into the inside, and the p
Gu Wangshu was stunned.
Only His Highness the Second Highness and Marquis Chen could think of such a loss of attention.
How evil must these two people be to let the manure digger deal with three advisers.
This is like an extremely romantic person who likes to talk about romantic affairs, but he is indeed facing a person who always talks about shit and piss.
The two of them have no common language at all.
Gu Wangshu could imagine how funny the scene would be when the envoys from the Three Kingdoms met the dung collector and started chattering endlessly.
Just as Gu Wangshu thought.
The manure digger was suddenly appointed as the escort, and he was in a state of confusion.
He is just a excrement collector. He is dirty, smelly, and illiterate. He has no other benefits except scooping excrement. His mouth is even more stupid. Why did he suddenly become a escort?He was also asked to go outside the city to meet the envoys from the Three Kingdoms.
What to do.
The dung digger set out on the road in panic. Along the way, he couldn't figure out how he had fallen into the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor.
After much deliberation, he couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it and silently told himself that when he met the three envoys, he must speak less to avoid making too many mistakes and exposing his ignorance and putting Helian Guo in trouble.
In this way, the manure digger met the three envoys of Dongling, Dashuo and Zhao.
The three people automatically regarded him as an important minister in the court.
The three of them were famous, so they naturally thought that Helian Jue would definitely send someone as talented and eloquent as them.
Therefore, when the three of them faced the manure diggers, they began to give eloquent speeches, quoting scriptures and allusions, their words were sonorous and powerful, and they used them with great proficiency.
Unfortunately, the manure digger didn't understand a word he said.
Although the three people were talking with thirsty tongues, the manure collectors all said "um, ah, oh, ow" to the end.
The three envoys originally planned to test Helianguo's spirit and extract some information from the other party's mouth.
As a result, they escaped without saying a word.
Their verbal attacks were all blocked by the opponent's vigorous defense.
The three of them still refused to give up, exchanged glances, and decided to change their strategy.
"My lord, what are you interested in?"
This time he shouldn't continue to deal with them with "uh-oh", right?
As long as they know his hobbies and interests, they can find a breakthrough, follow the clues, and find out the details of Helianguo's current situation.
The manure digger thought for a moment and said, "I'm very interested in fertilizing."
Three people: "???"
Fertilize?What the hell?
Zhou Qingxu asked curiously: "But what is fertilization mentioned by more than just adults?"
"It's just fertilizing the land. This fertilizing may seem simple, but it's not simple at all."
"Oh?" Zhou Xinglan pretended to be interested: "Why is it not a simple method?"
After talking about his area of expertise, the manure collector also became interested.
"Whether the crops grow well or not has a lot to do with fertilizer. The fertilizer should not be too little. Too little will have little effect, but it cannot be too much. If it is too much, the crops will be burned to death. It must be just right... ....Bala, bala..."
The three of them became more and more confused as they listened.
They came to Helian Kingdom to find out the details, not to listen to the other party fertilizing crops with them.
This person is very scheming. He is always talking about him, and it is really difficult to get words out of him.
The other party did it on purpose, it must have been intentional, I couldn't figure out how to laugh at them.
The three of them felt bored, and since they couldn't get anything to say from each other, they stopped saying anything.
When the manure digger saw this, he also raised his eyebrows and felt uneasy.
Did you say the wrong thing?
Don't make any mistakes. He can't speak anymore. If it ruins His Majesty's affairs, his head will have to be moved.
As a result, during the whole day of the trip, whenever the envoys from the Three Kingdoms tried to talk something out of him, he kept smiling, which made the three of them very angry, thinking that he was pretending to be stupid.
The group arrived at Yong'an City very smoothly.
It was already dark when they arrived, so they could only rest in the inn arranged in advance, waiting to enter the palace to meet the saint the next day.
The manure collector's task was completed, and he suddenly felt relaxed. He immediately passed the news to the palace. Helianjue nodded with satisfaction after hearing the report, and then ordered someone to reward the manure manure man 50 taels of silver.
After a whole night of repairs, the three people entered the palace the next day.
Today happens to be Xiu Mu, and there is no need for civil and military officials to go to court.
Lord Helian summoned them in the imperial study.
When the three of them arrived at the imperial study, the first thing they saw was Lord Helian sitting behind the desk.
Helianjue did not wear a dragon robe, but was dressed in black casual clothes. His whole person was very heroic and kingly.
The imperial study room was not only occupied by the emperor, but also by other people.
Two young men, both of whom have cold temperaments, indifferent eyes, and handsome looks, can give people a strong sense of oppression just sitting there quietly.
There was also a middle-aged man in a wheelchair. Needless to say, they guessed that this man must be Gu Chengfeng.
Behind him stood a small attendant. They didn't pay much attention to a servant.
They didn't know that behind Gu Chengfeng was Gu Wangshu, who was disguised as a man.
She also came to the palace, wanting to see what tricks these three envoys were playing.
After the three of them saluted Lord Helian, they were given a seat by Lord Helian.
"Donngling, Dashuo and Zhao State sent envoys at the same time, which really surprises me." Helian Jue smiled. The smile was very gentle, but it didn't show his eyes.
"I'm a little curious. Did you agree to come together in advance, or did you meet each other on the road?"
Helian Jue is asking questions knowingly.
The three envoys secretly exchanged glances, and then Zhou Qingxu of Dongling Kingdom spoke first.
He respectfully replied: "I, the Lord of Dongling Kingdom, have long been interested in establishing friendship with Helian. However, the state affairs have been busy in recent years. Fortunately, the situation in various countries has been stable recently, so I made up my mind to send my ministers to Helian."
After saying this, he glanced at Chen Zui.
He only met Chen Zui once, but that time left a very deep impression on him.
Chen Zui relied on his own power to move among the countries, and his deeds were known to everyone in the world.
Chen Zui once visited Dongling. When he persuaded King Dongling, Zhou Qingxu was also listening. He could not find any loopholes in Chen Zui's words and admired Chen Zui endlessly.
Unexpectedly, three years later, they met again, this time in Helian.
When he met Chen Zui, he had no confidence in his heart. He was afraid that Chen Zui would see their intentions and Chen Zui would come up with a way to destroy the alliance between Dongling, Dashuo and Zhao.
Chen Zui is a terrible person. As a counselor, Zhou Qingxu admits that there is a big gap between himself and the other party.
As expected, Zhou Qingxu's prediction was very correct and he was foresighted about himself.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Zui, who was drinking tea, sneered slightly.
"Master Zhou may not have heard what our Majesty said clearly. What our Majesty is curious about is, did you agree to come together in advance, or did you meet us on the road?"
He said it casually, but in Zhou Qingxu's ears, it was no less than a thunder.
This issue is too sensitive. How can there be so many coincidences? There is no need to ask. Everyone knows very well that the counselors of the three countries can gather together. It must have been discussed in advance. The purpose is to test the pressure on the Helian Kingdom. Let Helian not dare to act rashly.
I understand in my heart, but few people will ask it in person, which means that the atmosphere between the two parties will directly become tense.
The reason why Lord Helian asked this question was after careful consideration.
The intentions of Dongling, Dashuo and Zhao Guo are too obvious.
The three countries are united to deal with Helian Kingdom. If Helian Kingdom ignores it from the beginning or adopts soft methods, then the enemy will kick their noses in the face.
In order to give them a blow, he directly pointed out the relationship between the three countries. He wanted to see how these three people would answer.
Gu Wangshu, who was standing behind Gu Chengfeng, suddenly became nervous.
She could learn a lot through the duel between the bosses. She watched carefully without saying a word.
His eyes first fell on Chen Sui.
Chen Zui looked casual from beginning to end, with no trace of tension at all, as if the situation was under his control.
Looking at Helian Jue again, he stopped talking after asking the question and quietly waited for Zhou Qingxu's answer.
He Lianhuan raised his eyes and looked at Gu Wangshu, a smile appeared in his eyes.
Then he said: "Is this question difficult to answer? If Lord Zhou is difficult to answer, then Lord Fu and Lord Zhao can express their opinions."
The reason why Fu Jiuyuan and Zhao Xinglan didn't say a word was because they realized that Zhou Qingxu was trapped in a whirlpool of difficult choices.
If they offered help, they would naturally fall into trouble, so they didn't speak up.
Unexpectedly, He Lianhuan gradually turned his attention to the two of them with a few words.
They both cried bitterly in their hearts.
It is true that the three countries are an alliance, but the premise is that it does not harm one's own interests.
Fu Jiuyuan and Zhao Xinglan greeted He Lianhuan's [-]th generation ancestors with gentle and polite smiles on their faces. From the outside, they didn't seem to be embarrassed at all, but were calm and composed.
He Lianjue, He Lianhuan and Chen Zui looked at Zhou Qingxu, Fu Jiuyuan and Zhao Xinglan at the same time.
Zhou Qingxu, Fu Jiuyuan and Zhao Xinglan were on pins and needles.
Who in the world doesn't know how powerful He Lianhuan and Chen are.
If Helian Kingdom didn't have these two perverts, how could it possibly have annexed Mobei and Xuanyuan in just three years or so.
The most terrifying thing is that while Helian State annexed two big countries, its own national strength was not affected at all.
Three years ago, the Helian Kingdom's national strength could not match that of the Nalan Kingdom, but three years later, the Nalan Kingdom was about to be annexed by the Helian Kingdom.
In today's Helian Kingdom, although the current sage is young, he is a wise king. He is dedicated to governing the country, does not indulge in women, and does not like eating, drinking and having fun.
The court was assisted by many capable ministers, and outside the court, they also gained the trust of the people.
They heard that the Helian Kingdom was able to annex Mobei, and the biggest contributor was a businessman.
The businessman was so treacherous and only had money in his eyes, but Helianguo allowed a businessman to pacify Mobei, which shows Helianjue's courage.
When the three of them faced He Lianjue, He Lianhuan and Chen Zui, they were already unsure of themselves. Now that they were being stared at coldly by the three of them, they felt even more upset.
The original intention of coming to Helian Country was to put pressure on Helian, but he didn't want the pressure to fall on the three of them in the end.
For a moment, no one spoke in the imperial study room, and the atmosphere was as tense as a string that might break at any time.
Gu Wangshu's heart became more and more nervous, with a hint of excitement amidst the nervousness.
In just one round, Helianguo turned from passive to active and suppressed the momentum of the three envoys.
This is like when a person encounters bullying. If he compromises the first time, he will be bullied countless times in the future.
If you don’t want to be taken advantage of by the other party, you must use the strongest attitude to control it the first time. Even if you end up hurting both sides, you must let the other party know that you are not easy to bully. The other party will behave in a different way when they bully you in the future. He is scrupulous because there is a price to pay for bullying others.
When the dispute between the two countries was combined with bullying, Gu Wangshu understood what was going on.
Just like the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, our great leader's strategic thinking is: hit with one punch to avoid hundreds of punches.
The fact that China enjoys prosperity and peace today is directly related to this battle.
Giving in means being beaten!
Gu Wangshu looked at Helian Jue, He Lianhuan and Chen Zui with more and more admiration.
Sure enough, the thoughts of people with great wisdom and talent are completely different from ordinary people.
They say that if you endure the calm for a while, you can take a step back and the sky will be brighter.
If we endured back then and our ancestors did not fight this battle for us, then the next generation would be the one to fight.
A wise man not only looks at the immediate future, but also looks at the long-term interests.
At this moment, He Lianjue, He Lianhuan and Chen Zui had surprisingly the same thoughts. This was the fundamental reason why others could not compare with them.
What they faced were only small envoys from the Three Kingdoms, so they had nothing to fear. Even if their emperor came, they would still respond.
He Lianhuan's fingers habitually tapped the surface of the coffee table, once and again...
The voice was clear and crisp, but it was like a reminder to the ears of Zhou Qingxu and the three of them. They became more and more nervous and didn't know what was wrong.
He Lianhuan's eyes passed over the three people one by one, and finally landed on Zhou Qingxu. He was smiling and seemed to be talking well, but his words were not pleasant at all.
"Master Fu and Master Zhao can't answer either. Otherwise, Master Zhou should explain, how did you come to Helian Kingdom together? Are you three just along for the ride? Such a coincidence is really fate."
Zhou Qingxu clenched his palms tightly.
What kind of luck, what kind of fate, they had discussed it in advance, and they deliberately wanted to make Helian Guo look bad.
Tell the Helian Kingdom clearly that if the Helian Kingdom continues to expand to the surrounding areas, the three countries will not mind joining forces to divide the Helian Kingdom.
It's that simple.
However, Dongling, Dashuo and Zhao Guo understood that it was not easy to embezzle Helian, and they might end up stealing the chicken but losing the rice.
Therefore, before taking action, first send envoys to the Helian Kingdom to find out. If the Helian Kingdom adopts a more conservative and moderate attitude, it means that the Helian Kingdom is afraid of the alliance of the three countries. Dongling, Dashuo and Zhao have high security at the Helian border Even with the slightest move, Helian Kingdom would turn a blind eye. After all, Helian Kingdom's current enemy is Nalan Kingdom.
Before taking the Nalan Kingdom into its hands, the Helian Kingdom would most likely not be enemies of the Three Kingdoms again.
If the monarchs and ministers of the Helian Kingdom had an extremely tough attitude when facing the envoys of the three countries and refused to give in, this could also explain a problem.
It proves that the Helian Kingdom has retained its strength while fighting against the Nalan Kingdom. It is precisely because it has enough confidence in its own strength that it will first show an unyielding and tough attitude.
Before coming to Helian Country, the three of them had analyzed the situation in Helian Country.
The Helian Kingdom fought against Mobei, Nalan and Xuanyuan at the same time, and also successfully annexed Mobei and Xuanyuan. Although the national power was not significantly reduced, it also suffered some losses.
Under such circumstances, they all agreed that when Helianguo met them, he would try to maintain a good relationship with them to avoid being embattled on all sides.
However, they never expected that Helianguo had no such concerns at all, and even if he did, he would not show it in front of them.
From beginning to end, the attitude was extremely firm.
Tell the three of them very clearly: If you three countries want to join forces to attack me, Helian, then I, Helian, will fight you tooth and nail.
This attitude shocked all three of them, and their brains were working rapidly, trying to reverse the tense relationship between the two parties.
The atmosphere became increasingly awkward, and the three of them were so nervous that they didn't know what to do, with a thin layer of sweat dripping from their heads.
"Master Zhou, is this question difficult to answer?" Chen Zui asked.
Facing Chen Zui's gaze, Zhou Qingxu subconsciously wanted to dodge, but he knew his mission well. Avoiding his eyes meant that he lost. He represented Dongling, which meant that Dongling lost.
Zhou Qingxu forced himself to look at Chen Zui. The other person's eyes were calm and emotionless. They were as deep as a vast ocean and unpredictable.
Zhou Qingxu swallowed his saliva and laughed dryly.
"How could it be possible? In fact, it is a coincidence that I met Master Fu and Master Zhao."
"Oh? How do you say this?" Chen Zui raised his eyebrows and motioned for him to continue speaking.
Zhou Qingxu bit the bullet and started to compile.
"In the beginning, His Majesty the Dashuo Kingdom sent Master Fu to the Helian Kingdom with the intention of establishing good relations with the Helian Kingdom. However, to get to Helian, you need to pass through the Zhao Kingdom and Dongling."
"Since he passed by Zhao and Dongling, Mr. Fu also stopped by to say hello to the kings of Zhao and Dongling. The king of Zhao heard about Mr. Fu's intention and also wanted to have good relations with Helian, so he sent Mr. Zhao. , after the two adults came to Dongling, my king sent his own officer to come with the two adults."
This excuse can be said to be poor, but Zhou Qingxu can only explain it this way.
He absolutely cannot say that the three countries have formed an alliance and intend to compete with the Helian Kingdom.
Lord Helian suddenly laughed out loud: "I didn't expect that your king would care so much about me, Helian. I'm really flattered."
The three of them laughed together, finally telling the lie, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
A group of people drank tea and chatted, as if the tense situation just now did not exist at all.
After what happened just now, Zhou Qingxu became more honest. As long as he was not asked, he would not speak, for fear that he would say the wrong thing and cause trouble to Dongling.
He looked around the imperial study room, but he didn't see the escort who led them into the city, and he felt a little confused.
Although that person didn't speak much, he was sure that the other person must be a wise and foolish person. Such a person had great wisdom, otherwise the three of them would not be able to suffer. It was like a punch on cotton. What happened to the other person? None, the three of them were very angry.
Zhou Qingxu wanted to ask where the adult was and why he could not come today, but he did not dare to ask. Adhering to the principle of saying too much, he would be wrong, so he would remain silent to the end.
If he doesn't ask, someone will ask, and this person is Zhao Xinglan of Zhao State.
Perhaps it was because the two parties were having a good conversation, and he felt that the time was ripe, so he asked with a smile:
"May I ask what the official position of the escort was in the court that day? Although that gentleman is taciturn, he was arranged by Your Majesty to pick us up and enter the city. He has always been an outstanding person. I can't see him here today. He, I still have some regrets."
As soon as he said this, everyone present looked at him with strange eyes.
The corners of Gu Wangshu's mouth twitched.
It seems that He Lianhuan and Chen Zui made the right choice in choosing the manure collector as their escort.
Because the other party was frightened, he did not dare to say anything, which made Zhao Xinglan and others unable to understand his thoughts, and they regarded him as a great person.
Gu Wangshu resisted the urge to laugh, lowered his head, pursed his lips, and listened quietly.
He Lianjue's eyes flashed. He looked at He Lianhuan and found that he was still calm and lying.
"Master Zhao really has a good eye. The one who greeted you that day was Master Tao. He holds the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry and manages the water conservancy, housing construction, agriculture, transportation and other matters in Helian State. Master Tao's work I’m busy, so it’s inconvenient to come today.”
When the three of them heard this, they immediately understood.
No wonder that Mr. Tao kept talking about agricultural issues that day. It turned out to be the minister of the Ministry of Industry. No wonder.
Zhao Xinglan asked calmly: "That day, Lord Tao shared with us the problem of how to plant crops. We know little about agriculture, so we didn't understand what we heard. Dare I ask if Lord Tao is busy with the autumn harvest today?"
When Helianhuan heard this, his heart moved, and he suddenly came up with a clever plan to fight against the Three Kingdoms.
He nodded: "Yes, autumn is here, and the people are busy harvesting. Food is the most important thing for the people, and agriculture is the foundation of the country. Master Tao naturally attaches great importance to it."
When it comes to agriculture, Zhao Xinglan is even more interested.
Agriculture is very important to any country, but due to geographical environment, the agricultural situation in each country is different.
In the entire continent, the country with the most advantageous geographical location is undoubtedly the Helian Kingdom. The other countries are either backed by mountains or the sea, or it is cold in hell, etc.
For example, Mobei, because of its geographical location, the people of Mobei mainly focus on animal husbandry, while Xuanyuan Kingdom consumes more aquatic products because it is close to the sea.
The geographical location of Zhao State cannot be said to be good or bad. Although it is mainly agricultural, its food output is not high.
He really wanted to know how much grain production the Helian Country had, so he asked.
Not only Zhao Xinglan is interested in this topic, but Zhou Qingxu and Fu Jiuyuan also attach great importance to it.
Helianhuan felt funny when he saw them taking the bait.
He sighed: "This year's harvest is not very good. The mass production per mu is only [-] catties."
Zhou Qingxu, Fu Jiuyuan and Zhao Xinglan almost dropped their jaws when they heard this.
The yield per mu is five hundred catties?Not a good harvest?
It was the funniest joke they'd ever heard.
Their best farmland has a yield of less than [-] jins per mu. They never dare to dream of what a change would be if the yield per acre could reach [-] jins.
Why did He Lianhuan say that the yield of [-] kilograms per mu turned into a bad harvest?
In ancient times when technology was relatively backward, it was truly remarkable to be able to produce five hundred kilograms per mu.
"Your Highness, the Second Prince, is not kidding, is he?"
He Lianhuan looked solemn: "Does this palace need to joke about this kind of thing? In previous years, the yield per mu was [-] to [-] jins, but this year it was only [-] jins. Naturally, the harvest was not good, but it is enough to prevent our people, Helian, from Starving."
At first, the three people didn't believe it, but after thinking about it, it was not impossible for Helianguo to increase the grain output per mu to more than [-] kilograms.
About three years ago, Helianguo sent all his winter clothes to Mobei.
They all thought that Helianguo was going to be doomed this time, but they didn't expect that Helianguo somehow came up with cotton-padded clothes. It was said that the clothes were called down jackets, which were lighter than cotton-padded clothes and had better thermal insulation effect.
Zhao Xinglan asked excitedly: "If you can increase the yield per mu to [-] kilograms, may I ask, Your Highness, how did Helian Kingdom do it?"
He Lianhuan smiled: "This is all due to Master Tao. Master Tao has cultivated a new type of seed. When this kind of seed is planted in the ground, the harvest will be much better than ordinary seeds."
Now the three of them understood why Mr. Tao was so busy. It turned out that he was working hard for the agricultural development of Helian Kingdom.
Cultivate seeds?This is too difficult and cannot be done by ordinary people.
It seemed that Helianguo had given them quite high courtesy, otherwise the Shennong-like Master Tao would not have been allowed to greet them in person.
Mr. Tao is so amazing that he can keep the people fed and clothed.
The three of them were crazy and jealous. It was difficult enough to deal with monsters like He Lianhuan and Chen Zui in Helian State. Now, Master Tao, who was good at agricultural development, appeared in Helian State. How could their country compare with Helian State?
Seeing that the three people were strong and calm, Helianhuan was satisfied, said no more and continued drinking tea.
Chen Zui on the side immediately understood what He Lianhuan was going to do.
Gu Wangshu also saw it.
At the beginning, she proposed that Zhao Bingcheng go to the border pass. On the one hand, she would deliver winter clothes to the soldiers at the border pass. On the other hand, she hoped that he would use commercial means to control Mobei's economy.
Zhao Chengcheng did not disappoint her, everything developed as she expected.
This time, He Lianhuan took the initiative to throw out the bait of "agriculture". Dongling, Dashuo and Zhao who want to develop and grow will definitely be tempted and take the bait.
He Lianhuan planned to control them through agricultural production to facilitate future annexation work.
After thinking about it, Gu Wangshu looked at He Lianhuan with even more intense eyes.
He can surprise her every time. His intelligent appearance is hard to get enough of. His whole body is shining, making people fall deeper and deeper into it.
He Lianhuan felt Gu Wangshu's burning eyes, he raised his eyes, their eyes met, and they smiled at the same time.
Nothing was said, yet it was worth a thousand words.
Gu Chengfeng saw all the interaction between the two people's eyes.
In the past, he did not approve of Xiao Shu's relationship with the second prince because the second prince was too cruel. He was worried that Xiao Shu and the second prince would not be happy together in the future.
But later he changed his mind. Xiao Shu was a very independent child, and it would be difficult to find a better person than His Highness the Second Prince in Yong'an.
The only one who can rival His Highness is the Marquis Chen. However, Marquis Chen has the same temperament as the Second Prince, vicious and unkind. However, such a person only has deep love for his miserable niece.
Through the incident between Chen Zui and Yun Musheng, Gu Chengfeng realized how painful it is for lovers to be forcibly separated.
Since Xiao Shu and His Highness the Second Prince are interested in having a concubine, they might as well just go with the flow and forget it.
He had made a plan in his mind, waiting to go back to the court to discuss with the old lady.
With He Lianhuan and Chen Zui around, he didn't need to worry about anything, and Gu Chengfeng felt at ease.
He watched the three envoys take the trap and began to inquire about the seeds with a yield of [-] kilograms per acre.
He Lianhuan took it easy and didn't reveal too much.
The more mysterious he is, the more curious the three people become.
If their country can also get such good seeds, why worry about the people not being able to have enough food, clothing, and live and work in peace and contentment.
Only when the people's lives are better can the country become prosperous and strong.
They recalled what they saw and heard along the way in Helian Kingdom.
It seems that the people of Helian Kingdom have not been displaced, not even refugees.
Although they were dressed in shabby clothes, they all looked good and looked like they were not hungry.
Thinking of this, the three of them became even more eager and wanted to take the seeds back home immediately.
The three of them planned to meet Master Tao, but Helianjue refused because "Master Tao is very busy."
The three of them are no longer obsessed with this. Any emperor would protect a person like Master Tao as if he were a treasure.
They made a determination in their hearts that after returning to the country, they must bring back some seeds from the Helian Kingdom.
When I came out of the Imperial Study Room, it was already noon.
The three envoys went ahead and returned to the post house.
At the palace gate, Gu Wangshu couldn't help but ask He Lianhuan softly.
"Is His Highness planning to attack the agriculture of Dongling, Dashuo and Zhao?"
He Lianhuan raised his hand and touched her little mind: "Xiyue, you really understand me."
Gu Wangshu let him touch her, and the two of them stood together like an ink painting, very warm.
"Ahem!" Gu Chengfeng coughed twice, attracting Gu Wangshu's attention.
"There are many people outside, so Your Highness had better be careful, otherwise it will be bad for Xiao Shu's reputation."
He Lianhuan smiled and said, "It's my fault that I'm being rude."
Gu Wangshu was a little embarrassed by what Gu Chengfeng said, so he cast an apologetic look at He Lianhuan, and then he and Gu Chengfeng got on the Gu family's horse and left together.
Only He Lianhuan and Chen Zui were left outside the palace gate.
He Lianhuan said calmly: "Aren't you leaving yet?"
For the first time, Chen Zui said to He Lianhuan in a serious tone: "If Your Highness doesn't want to have regrets for the rest of his life like me, I suggest that His Highness marry Gu Wangshu home as soon as possible. When we get to your mansion, you You can do whatever you want, and you won't be able to control yourself and touch her in public."
He Lianhuan snorted: "There is no need for you to meddle in other people's business."
"I don't bother to meddle in your business, but it's just because Gu Wangshu is Mu Sheng's cousin. That's all. In this way, Gu Wangshu has to call me cousin-in-law. If Your Highness really wants to marry Gu Wangshu, Together, I am your cousin-in-law."
He Lianhuan's brows jumped: "You are really thick-skinned."
"To each other, His Highness's face is not much thinner than mine."
The two of them didn't like each other, and after a few words at each other, they left.
Since the three envoys had come a long way, Lord Helian asked them to have a good rest in the post house and hold a banquet in the palace three days later.
The three people returned to the post house with their own thoughts, and they all began to secretly make small calculations in their hearts.
It was originally an alliance, and they planned to deal with Helianguo together, but because of Helianguo's tough attitude, they could not figure out the opponent's strength, and their plan to suppress them fell through.
Later, because He Lianhuan inadvertently revealed information about Lord Tao, they became more cautious in their attitude towards He Lianguo, and had vague thoughts of having a good relationship with He Lianhuan.
Helianhuan's small plan caused cracks in their unity.
The three of them did not come out after returning to the inn. They stayed in their respective rooms, not knowing what they were thinking.
Zhou Qingxu, the counselor of Dongling Kingdom, was lying on the bed thinking about countermeasures.
How can we get seeds with a yield of more than [-] kilograms per mu?
Helian Guo would not give it to them for no reason. He had to find a way to bring the relationship closer between the two countries.
Fortunately, the relationship between the Dongling Kingdom and the Helian Kingdom was relatively peaceful, and Chen Zui once went to Dongling to persuade their majesties to attack Daliang.
Calculated in this way, the relationship between Dongling and Helian Kingdom is closer than that between Dashuo and Zhao Kingdom.
But this relationship alone is not enough for Helianguo to be willing to have good relations with Dongling.
He needs to think of a perfect solution.
He thought a lot, and finally felt that the marriage between the two countries was the safest way and would cause the least loss.
After much deliberation, he finally settled on Gu Wangshu.
Gu Wangshu is the most favored daughter-in-law of General Gu's mansion. If she can be abducted to Dongling, with her status and ability, the relationship between Dongling and Helian Kingdom will become closer and closer. You can enjoy peace and quiet.
Zhou Qingxu thought of this and began to secretly plan how to gain Gu Wangshu's trust and make her fall in love with him.
What he didn't know was that all his thoughts had been anticipated by He Lianhuan.
The night is deep.
Gu Wangshu lay on the bed.
The candles in her room were extinguished and the room was dark.
Suddenly a dark figure appeared beside Gu Wangshu's bed.
He gently lifted the bed curtains and sat on the edge of the bed.
Half asleep and half awake, Gu Wangshu felt a blast of air-conditioning coming from his face.
Due to her body's instinct, she wanted to pull the quilt up, but when she pulled it, she found that it didn't move.
Gu Wangshu's dazed consciousness began to clear up, and his senses became more and more acute.
Although his eyes were closed, there was a chill coming from the bedside.
Gu Wangshu slowly opened her eyes and found someone sitting beside her bed.
In the middle of the night, Leng Buding saw a dark figure in front of her bed. Gu Wangshu was startled. She opened her mouth and was about to scream, but the other party covered her mouth with lightning speed.
"Uh huh..." Who are you?
"Xiyue, it's me."
After the words fell, the other party got on the bed.
Gu Wangshu recognized his voice, it was He Lianhuan.
She was immediately puzzled, why did His Highness come to her room at night?
He took away the hand covering her mouth and lay beside her. This made Gu Wangshu start to think wildly and was so nervous that he didn't dare to move.
"Your Highness, Your Highness...why are you here?"
"I have something to do with you."
What can't be said during the day? If you have to come to her at night, it won't be what she wants, right?
Is Your Highness too impatient?
"Um...isn't this bad, Your Highness?"
Hearing her anxiety, He Lianhuan chuckled, turned sideways, and supported his head with one hand.
"What's wrong?"
"Uh...it's just...we're not married yet, so it's not good if we do this or that."
The smile on He Lianhuan's lips gradually widened.
It turns out that smart women also have a silly and cute side.
"What is this and that?"
Gu Wangshu: "..."
For the sake of talking, he was still pretending to be confused with her, and Gu Wangshu was so angry that he stopped talking.
He Lianhuan stopped teasing her and said bluntly: "Xiyue, I came to you tonight because I have something important to tell you."
"I infer that the envoys of the three countries will not be peaceful. They originally wanted to jointly attack Helian, but they were manipulated by us. Their eagerness to move should have been restrained, but the matter of food seeds is probably not the case. Willing to give up."
"If we want to carry out our plan smoothly, we must comply with their plan, break their synergy, and strive to achieve a strategy of long-distance and close-attack for Helianda."
"I guess Zhou Qingxu of Dongling Kingdom may have targeted you."
He Lianhuan said a lot, and his analysis was almost exactly the same as what Zhou Qingduo thought.
Gu Wangshu listened quietly, and the more he listened, the more it made sense.
The most terrifying thing about He Lianhuan is that he can predict the enemy's prediction and catch the enemy by surprise.
Zhou Qingxu had only heard that He Lianhuan was very powerful, but this was the first time he met He Lianhuan.
He Lianhuan gave him the impression that he had a quick reaction time, an aggressive momentum, and had a lot of tricks, but he was not able to predict people's hearts.
He still didn't understand He Lianhuan well, otherwise he wouldn't have been so careless and bold enough to target Gu Wangshu.
The moment He Lianhuan figured out his thoughts, he was destined to be completely defeated, and Dongling was not far from destruction.
"In the past few days before the palace banquet begins, Zhou Qingxu will look for opportunities to get close to you, but if you give him the opportunity, don't worry, I will protect you in secret and will never let him have the opportunity to attack you."
Gu Wangshu understood that His Highness wanted her to act in a play with Zhou Qingxu.
This scene will directly cause the two envoys of Dashuo and Zhao to criticize Zhou Qingxu.
Once Zhou Qingxu's intention to form an alliance with Helian is exposed, the other two countries will be afraid. Helian State can also take this opportunity to win over Dashuo and Zhao State, so as to achieve the strategic goal of long-distance friendship and close attack.
Gu Wangshu was deeply shocked. She stretched out her hands to hold He Lianhuan's face.
"How do you grow your brain? How can you be so smart?"
"You can guess Zhou Qingxu's thoughts when you first meet him. Can your Highness also guess what I am thinking now?"
His face was cold, but it was quickly warmed by Gu Wangshu's warm hands.
In the darkness, Gu Wangshu boldly looked at him, but he couldn't see clearly and it was hazy.
His breath sprayed on her face, bringing with it his unique refreshing scent.
As she stared at him, he seemed to be sizing her up.
He did not answer her question, but his hand reached out from outside the quilt and touched her belly. The cold temperature was transmitted to her body through the thin clothes, making Gu Wangshu couldn't help but wince.
"Xiyue is also very smart. Guess what I'm thinking, huh?"
