The last time the peace negotiation failed, after Yan Fang found out the spy, the trust between Qi and Yan was restored, and the peace negotiation meeting started smoothly.

After exchanging views, the two parties reached a tacit understanding again.

Seeing that the peace negotiation was about to succeed, He Yunxiao always felt that this matter was not that simple.

Sure enough, something went wrong again.

"The King of Southwest got the news again at some point. He targeted us everywhere at the meeting, making it difficult to implement our original plan," said Ruo Bao.

"Again? Is there any detailed work?" He Yunxiao said in surprise.

Fan Zi nodded weakly, "For now, this is indeed the only possibility."

Afraid that Xiu Bao might hint that the problem lies with Li, He Yunxiao said carefully: "Xuo Bao, where do you think this trick came from?"

"At the moment, it seems that there is a problem on our side. It would be better for you to know less about this matter. I will just write to Your Highness and let her handle it."

Fan Ziruo didn't say anything, and He Yunxiao didn't dare to ask any more questions. In short, it's just that Miss Li didn't have another problem.

…

Although it was not Li Xiangjun who had the problem, He Yunxiao could hardly imagine the party that had the problem.

The party that caused the problem this time was actually Mengbao’s confidant and the Empress Dowager’s confidant, Li Gongqin, Minister of Rites!

You must know that the power of the Li family in Jiangnan has always been regarded as the eldest princess's die-hard force. No one would have thought that this time her family would directly rebel.

As the investigation deepened, He Yunxiao and others suddenly discovered that not only the Jiangnan Li family and Li Gongqin, but also Xiu Bao's good sister "Nangong Yu'er" were involved.

Tingfeng Tower seems to be the initiator of this leak. However, the information obtained by Tingfeng Tower was handed over to the Southwest King as expected.

Things suddenly became complicated.

…

On a towering observation deck in Jingtian City, a man and a woman were chatting. The woman was in a good mood, but the man was looking sad.

Hearing He Yunxiao's concern about "I have a friend", Li Xiangjun immediately guessed who the protagonist was.

She thought about it for a moment, then said comfortingly: "Don't worry. Can she tell the difference because of Fan Zi's weak head? Tingfeng Tower is not a small organization. There are many factions in the building, and each family has different interests.

One, this is normal. In my opinion, she probably won’t have any objections to Nangong."

"Did you guess it?" He Yunxiao looked embarrassed.

Li Xiangjun winked playfully, "Do you think I'm a fool? You can't guess this?"

He Yunxiao chuckled and said: "Please help me keep this a secret, girl."

Li Xiangjun curled his lips and said dissatisfiedly: "Can't you just trust me?"

"No, I just..." He Yunxiao was about to explain, but Li Xiangjun's next words silenced him.

"I just want to publicize it, who should I tell it to?"

The stunning woman, who had always been confident, now seemed very lonely.

In the huge Jingtian City, with a population of millions, there was not even a single gossip around her.

"Miss Li..." He Yunxiao couldn't bear it when he saw Li Xiangjun behaving like this. He subconsciously wanted to reach out his hand, wrap his arms around her waist and hug her.

But his hand paused in mid-air.

There is no other reason. This move is too intimate. Even if he is a close friend, he cannot do it. Regardless of whether Li Xiangjun will be disgusted by this action, it is said that his "home" is already in chaos at this time. There is no internal affairs.

It's not good to mess with new girls until you figure things out.

If he hugged her and she didn't resist, it would be like throwing another shark into the pond. The small pond in the Marquis Mansion cannot withstand such a bustle.

He Yunxiao made a fist with his hand in mid-air and took it back behind him. He just said: "If Miss Li wants to find someone to talk to, you can ask me to come here."

When Li Xiangjun saw He Yunxiao retracting his palm, he secretly thought it was a pity.

It seems that in his mind, after all, there is a gap between him and those women.

Li Xiangjun thought about it, made another plan, and then smiled and said: "By the way, I heard that Qi State is willing to exchange Rudong Valley with us. This is all your fault. Tell me how you want to thank your majesty.

You. With our friendship, even if you ask for something excessive, I can help you beg His Majesty for mercy. How about it? Is it interesting?"

He Yunxiao was amused by Mr. Li's naughty "playing two roles" and said: "What can a common man like Mr. He ask for? I just heard that the Emperor Yan is so beautiful that if she can serve her, I will be able to serve you for a long time."

I have no regrets.”

When Li Xiangjun heard this, his pretty face turned red like the setting sun, with clouds appearing out of thin air.

When He Yunxiao saw her like this, he knew that she had misunderstood. To be fair, he really didn't think about asking Emperor Yan to "serve" him. After all, he was the arrogant and arrogant leader of a country. How could he lose his temper with just a joke?

Innocent. The "service" here actually has a simpler meaning.

"It's just drinking and listening to music, there's no other meaning!" He Yunxiao was still afraid that Li Xiangjun wouldn't believe it after he said it, so he said, "No, I promise. It's just drinking flower wine."

Li Xiangjun blushed and didn't say whether he agreed or disagreed.

He Yunxiao regarded her as a friend, and this suggestion was originally just a joke. It was unseemly to ask Emperor Yan to serve him and drink wine, so he simply found a way out for himself.

"Oh, I forgot. The girl's drinking capacity is bottomless. If I drink with the girl, I'm asking for trouble. I might as well forget this suggestion. I'll think of another one."

Perhaps He Yunxiao's "step" inexplicably touched Li Xiangjun's pain point, and she immediately agreed: "Come to my bedroom tomorrow night."

He was even afraid that He Yunxiao would regret it, so he added: "Those who don't come are just puppies!"

…

As Li Xiangjun expected, Fan Ziruo was very calm when faced with the "backstab from Tingfeng Tower".

She even told Nangong Yu'er about the matter in person, and said "this is none of your business" before Nangong Yu'er "cryed and repented".

However, taking this opportunity also allowed Fan Ziruo to understand the complexity of peace talks.

This peace talk may involve far more than just the two countries Qi and Yan.

"Yu'er has many relatives in her family, and her father cannot cover everything." Nangong Yu'er lowered his head and explained to Fan Ziruo.

Fan Ziruo asked calmly: "Then Yu'er thinks which side branch of Tingfeng Tower is the one who helped the Southwest King connect with the Li family of Jiangnan this time?"

Nangong Yu'er thought for a while, then shook her head and said: "The King of Southwest has been stationed in the southwest of Qi State for a long time. The influence of Tingfeng Tower there is not great, and my second uncle is doing the business in Jiangnan, so...

"

Fan Ziruo frowned upon hearing this.

Nangong Yu'er's meaning is very simple: the factions that can contact the Southwest King are not in Jiangnan, and the factions in Jiangnan cannot contact the Southwest King. The Southwest King wants to contact the Li family in Jiangnan, except for the Tingfeng Tower in Jiangnan.

Another middleman is needed to bridge the gap between him and Tingfenglou of the Jiangnan faction.
