The Crown Prince of Guizhou looked at the grassland people, then at the people from the Western Regions, and said: "Now we have a common enemy. I hope that the two parties can put aside their hatred for the time being and work together to deal with the outside world. If we are in chaos internally, how can we become a big deal?
?”
After the Prince of Guizhou spoke out, the two groups gradually became quiet, but they still looked at each other with unkind eyes.
Because of the terrain, the relationship between the Western Regions and the grassland is not like that between the grassland and Chen Chu. However, if they want to attack Chen State, the two sides will have conflicts of interest, and naturally they can't stand each other.
The Crown Prince of Guizhou looked at them and said: "The grassland and the Chen State are in the same situation. The Western Regions are not willing to surrender to the Chen State forever. If the three of us can join forces, under the attack from the north and the south, the Chen State will be attacked from both sides. This serious problem can be eliminated in one fell swoop."
, it is really a wise move for you to join forces with us..."
"Your Majesty, it's too early to say this." On the Western Region side, a middle-aged man who had been silent glanced at him and said, "I dare to ask Your Majesty, what benefits can we get from helping you?"
Although the people on the grassland did not speak, they looked at the Crown Prince of Guizhou. Obviously, this was an issue that concerned all of them.
Prince Qian shook his head and said, "It's not about helping me, but about cooperation."
"I admit that Xiaowan and the Wanyan tribe are very powerful now, but the current Xiaowan is not strong enough to compete with the Chen State. The Wanyan tribe is also restrained by the Chu State. Neither of us can deal with the Chen State alone."
Prince Qian clapped his hands, and then two people took out a huge map and spread it on the ground.
He pointed to one of the places on the map and said: "Xiaowan comes from the west and will soon occupy Shazhou, Suzhou and Ganzhou. The army of the three princes will invade from the north, first occupy Fengzhou and then Shengzhou.
The Chen State must send troops to the northwest and has no time to take care of the south of the Yangtze River. If we start another uprising in the south of the Yangtze River, Chen State will collapse under the attack from the north and the south..."
The middle-aged man glanced at him and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that you haven't gotten to the point yet."
"Mr. Liu, there is no need to worry." Prince Qian smiled, pointed to a place on the map, and said: "When the Chen Kingdom changes ownership, the Shannan Road, Gyeonggi Road, and Duji Road, these four roads can all be attributed to the Western Regions...
…”
He looked at the people on the grassland, pointed to another place, and said: "The four roads of Guan Nei, Hedong, Henan, and Huainan will be given to the Wanyan tribe. When the time comes, the Chu State will be surrounded and isolated, and it will be the noble tribe."
Opponent?"
A prairie man knelt down and after counting, looked at him and asked: "We each have four lanes, you only want two?"
Prince Qian smiled and said, "To show our sincerity, we only need two."
The man counted on his fingers again, patted his thigh and said, "Okay!"
Prince Qian looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "What do you think, Mr. Liu?"
"Your Majesty, you really made a good calculation." Mr. Liu gave him a meaningful look and said: "These eight states with more than a hundred states combined are probably not as good as the two states in the south of the Yangtze River. By then, the south of the Central Plains will be your territory.
And with Jiangnan and Dao in hand, money and food are constantly flowing..., do you think we are all fools?"
The Crown Prince of Guizhou looked a little unnatural, looked at him and asked: "So what do you want Mr. Liu?"
Mr. Liu glanced at the map and said: "It's very simple. In addition to Shannan Road, Gyeonggi Road, and Duji Road, we also need the five states of Ezhou, Yuezhou, Jiangzhou, Tanzhou, and Hongzhou..."
Prince Qian's expression changed and he said: "There are only nineteen states in the Jiangnan West Road. You already have four, and you want five more. Don't you think your appetite is too big, Mr. Liu?"
Mr. Liu looked at him and asked, "Oh, Your Majesty, do you think we have a big appetite?"
Prince Qian looked at Mr. Liu, who had a dull expression, and clenched his fists in his sleeves, then slowly released them.
"Not big." A smile appeared on his face and he said: "Since Mr. Liu wants it, I will give you five more states."
Mr. Liu was sure that Xiaowan could leave them, but they couldn't leave Xiaowan. Even if the other party opened his mouth, he had to endure it.
When the great cause of restoring the country is completed, he will get these five states back sooner or later.
Seeing this, the grassland man immediately said: "They all have it, and we also want five states!"
The Jiangnan and Liangdao would have to lose at least 30% of their money and food if they went to the ten states. Prince Qian sent greetings to all the eighteen generations of their ancestors in his heart. Still with a smile on his face, he said: "To show our sincerity, the Jiangnan and Liangdao,
Each of the five states can be given to you..."
He looked at them with a smile and said: "Please tell the third prince and the king to tell them to take action in time..."
Mr. Liu looked at him and said: "Xiaowan has been prepared for a long time. If something happens, he will march straight in. On the prince's side, even the four major families in Runzhou can't do anything. It doesn't seem to be trustworthy..."
The meaning of this sentence was to ask them to prove their ability to start a rebellion first. Prince Qian glanced at him and said: "Under the general trend, the four small families can't hinder anything. Mr. Liu can just wait and see."
…”
Mr. Liu nodded and said: "That's very good..."
The three parties had their own thoughts. While they were discussing in the hall, in another courtyard of Xiao Mansion, Su Mei sat in front of a bronze mirror. She looked at it carefully for a while, then turned her head and looked at the maid behind her, and asked: "How is it?
, does the color of this lipstick match me, does it look good?”
The maid looked at her, a trace of red cloud appeared on her face, and she whispered: "This girl is so charming that she looks good with any lipstick she wears..."
"Why are you talking sweetly like those stinky men..." Su Mei glanced at her, stood up, looked at herself up and down, and then walked out of the yard.
The little maid looked at the other maid, covered her chest, blushed and said: "The girl is so beautiful, even women can't help but like it..."
After Su Mei walked out of the courtyard, she went straight out of the Xiao Mansion. Not long after, a figure quietly walked out of the door.
…
When Tang Ning and Lao Zheng Chenzhou left the Governor's Mansion, they saw many people running forward in a hurry on the street, running and shouting something.
"Hurry up, or the girl will leave!"
"I have never seen such a beautiful girl in my entire life..."
"There is such a beauty in the world. If I could kiss her, I would die immediately..."
…
Tang Ning looked up and looked ahead. Not far ahead was the place where he and Su Mei had made an appointment.
Looking at the bustling crowd surging forward, he suddenly had an unpleasant premonition in his heart.
In Runzhou, at the entrance of a certain restaurant, pedestrians, whether male or female, could not help but slow down when passing by this restaurant, and looked at a figure at the door of the restaurant.
It was a young woman, dressed in white, with a graceful figure. She just stood there casually, without making any movements, so she could naturally attract the attention of people passing by. Once their eyes looked over, they would never let go.
Move away.
From time to time, there were sounds of pain, curses and quarrels in the street. These were disputes caused by pedestrians who accidentally collided with others when they were fascinated.
There is no shortage of beauties in the south of the Yangtze River, but even a veteran who has spent time among flowers has never seen such beauties who exude a charming charm from the inside out.
Tang Ning stood not far away, looking at Su Mei, wondering whether to step forward.
He knew that Su Mei was beautiful, naturally charming, and a natural nemesis of men. Even Tang Yaoyao, who was very competitive and wanted to compete with others, wholeheartedly admitted that Su Mei was prettier than her, but what he didn't know was that,
She could actually be more beautiful.
After applying some light pink and white, Su Mei was not only the most beautiful woman in the capital, but she could also bear the title of "the most beautiful woman in the world" before being called "the most beautiful woman".
If he walks with her at this time, he will immediately become everyone's enemy.
While Tang Ning was hesitating, Su Mei finally saw him, with a smile on her face, she waved to him and walked over quickly.
"She smiled, she smiled..."
"When she smiles, she becomes even more beautiful..."
"This girl should only exist in heaven, how many times can we see her in the human world..."
"Who is that man? The beauty actually smiled at him. Why should he..."
…
When she realized that everyone's focus had shifted from Su Mei to him, Tang Ning's expression changed. Before the situation could be controlled, she quickly stepped forward, grabbed Su Mei's hand, and ran towards an alley next to the restaurant.
…
"What is he doing!"
"How unreasonable, he actually dares to grab the beauty's hand!"
"Unforgivable, simply unforgivable!"
"Robbing a beautiful woman in broad daylight, chasing her down, and arresting her to bring him to court..."
…
The crowd gathered in an instant and rushed towards the alley. Old Zheng stood on the street, touched his knife, and praised: "It's natural to be charming, so damn beautiful..."
Chen Zhou looked at him, pointed at a person not far away, and asked: "Senior, do you think that person is a bit strange?"
Lao Zheng glanced at the young man pointed by Chen Zhou and asked, "Why is it strange?"
Chen Zhou said: "The way he looked at Miss Su was different from others. When the master took Miss Su away just now, his expression was also very strange..."
Lao Zheng looked at him, took a step back, kept a distance from him, shook his head and said: "You don't want to look at such a beautiful girl, but you actually look at a man..."
On the street, at the alley where Tang Ning and Su Mei disappeared.
A young man walked over quickly and was about to enter the alley when he suddenly felt someone tapping him on the shoulder.
He turned his head and was met with a knife from his hand. Then his vision went black and he lost consciousness.
When he woke up again, he was already in a dark room.
He was tied to a pillar with five-flowered ropes. The rope on his body was tied in a strange way. There were two large holes on his chest, and there were also holes on his abdomen and ribs. The rope passed under his crotch and was tied from behind.
Opposite him, a young man held a whip in his hand, looked at him with evil eyes, and said coldly: "Tell me, who are you!"
