Chapter 368: The Case of Arrival at the Pawnshop (14)
A black figure drifted from the roof and landed in front of Zhao Bai.
"Long time no see, General Zhao's eyesight is still so sharp."
There was a smile on Wo Kuotai's lips, but his eyes looked at Zhao Bai with disdain.
Zhao Bai had no intention of avoiding Wo Kuotai's eyes. Instead, he took a step forward, almost approached Wo Kuotai, and whispered in his ear.
"His Royal Highness the Third Prince is so elegant that he actually sat on the roof in this dark and windy night, laughing at the joys and sorrows in this room."
Wo Kuotai laughed, his eyes had changed, and there was a hint of caution in his disdain.
"I didn't expect General Zhao to be such a poetic and picturesque person. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have doubted whether the person in front of me was the real Zhennan King Zhao Bai."
"The third prince is joking. Zhao Bai is a mortal, how can anyone deliberately dress up? If someone wants to make money by pretending, they will most likely turn themselves into the third prince."
Wo Kuotai's face smiled slightly, but immediately his face was filled with smiles.
"General Zhao really thinks highly of me. Father Khan has so many sons, and I, Wo Kuotai, am the one who is least valued by Father Khan."
As he spoke, there was actually a hint of frustration in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth pursed slightly, and one could even hear the sound of his upper and lower teeth colliding with each other.
Zhao Bai immediately thought of Tuo Lei in Wangxiang Tower.
An idea came to his mind. He stared at Wo Kuotai for a while, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face.
"Zhao Bai heard that the third prince was the most valued by the Great Khan. However, Zhao Bai also had many doubts. The third prince had been idle in Lin'an in the past few years. Instead, the fourth prince Tu Lei followed Genghis Khan in his expeditions.
Is this because the Great Khan wants the third prince to rest and cultivate his sex?"
There was just a click sound, and a small tree next to Wo Kuotai was interrupted by Wo Kuotai's palm. The leaves fell one after another, like a dying yellow butterfly.
Zhao Bai trembled, but then let out a long sigh.
This sigh made Ogedai wake up.
"General Zhao really cares about Wo Kuotai. In fact, it was Wo Kuotai who asked to stay here in Lin'an. As for the reason? I think General Zhao also knows it very well. I am a person who can give up everything for beauty."
Seeing that Wokuotai actually pulled Xiaolan out as an excuse, Zhao Bai felt a sour feeling deep in his teeth, and the anger in his heart almost destroyed Zhao Bai's reason.
But he quickly regained his composure and smiled.
"The third prince was joking. How could a man as talented and strategic as the third prince be trapped by love and love? The reason why the third prince has stayed here naturally has his own reasons. Come on, let's not think about those things that make us
Unhappy things, such a beautiful night, how nice it is to drink tea quietly."
Zhao Bai said, stretched out his hand and motioned for Wo Kuotai to sit down opposite him, poured a cup of tea for Wo Kuotai and handed it over.
While Wokuotai received the cup, he had already focused his inner strength on his right hand and pushed the cup towards Zhao Bai.
But what frustrated Wo Kuotai again was that Zhao Bai's hand didn't move at all, as if Wo Kuotai didn't use any force at all.
"Does the third prince think my cup of tea is not sweet enough?"
Zhao Bai smiled slightly, but there was a frightening coldness in his eyes when he glanced at Wo Kuotai.
"General Zhao, you are being humble. Who doesn't know that the tea leaves in the Central Plains are far more fragrant and clearer. General Zhao's pot of Lushan Yunwu is the best tea. It will leave a fragrance on your lips and teeth and leave you with endless aftertaste."
When Zhao Bai saw Wo Kuotai raising his glass and drinking it down in one gulp, the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily, and a sinister smile emerged.
He didn't say anything, but raised his tea cup and took a sip.
In this way, both men seemed to be focusing only on drinking the tea in their hands.
But they both knew in their hearts that the other party must have something to discuss with them.
What we have to see now is who can endure it.
Here, those who take the initiative will not only lose the upper hand, but will also lose many bargaining chips.
Seeing that the pot of tea was almost reaching its bottom, Dongfang seemed to pull out a trace of milky white from the darkness.
Wokuotai put down the teacup in his hand and stretched out comfortably.
"I've been here in An'an for so long, and the tea I drank tonight is the most satisfying one."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Bai knew that Wo Kuotai was about to reveal his purpose, so he poured the last bit of tea into Wo Kuotai's tea cup with a smile.
"The third prince came here in the middle of the night and stayed in the cold night for so long. He probably didn't just want to have tea with me."
"General Zhao, you are really worried. In fact, I was passing by. I thought that Bi Zaiyu could be regarded as a great general of your Song Dynasty. I just wanted to go to visit, but I didn't expect that before I entered Bi's mansion, he
When I saw Master Feiyu leading the people from the Imperial City Division into the courtyard, I could only jump to the roof and wait and see what happened."
Wo Kuotai suddenly came up to Zhao Bai and chuckled.
"The general also knows that you Central Plains people, especially those officials in the Central Plains, what the king likes most is to inflict crimes. If Master Feiyu wants to be detrimental to General Bi, I, an outsider, can also rescue General Bi.
,right."
Zhao Bai's face turned pale.
He had to admit that what Ogedei said was the truth.
The reason why the centuries-old foundation of the Song Dynasty is now falling apart is because of the incompetence of the monarch.
The incompetence of the monarch has led to the emergence of a large number of corrupt officials. For their own benefit, these treacherous people have blackmailed the monarch and created all kinds of troubles for the monarch who wants to forge ahead and innovate.
Incompetence will tire the three armies to death, commanders will fall apart due to incompetence, and a country's citizens will be incompetent, which will turn this great country into a breeding ground for poisonous insects.
Zhao Bai couldn't help but think of Shi Miyuan and his ilk again, and couldn't help but grit his teeth.
But he couldn't let himself fall into a state of despair, so he deliberately put on a straight face and snorted coldly.
"How our Song Dynasty handles things, outsiders cannot judge whether it is right or wrong, good or bad based on performance. I think the third prince should understand this."
"Of course, so, I just watched quietly and watched a wonderful farce. But..."
Wokuotai's expression suddenly became serious.
"Your Princess Yan and Mr. Li Xiaolin are really kind-hearted, affectionate and righteous people. They really moved me, Wo Kuotai."
Zhao Bai didn't want to listen to Wo Kuotai's nonsense anymore. After drinking a cup of tea, he asked directly.
"The third prince stayed until everyone left. You think he has something to discuss with me?"
Wokuotai laughed.
"I think General Zhao doesn't stay here alone just to have a drink in the night."
Wokuotai filled a cup of tea for Zhao Bai, "General Zhao should have discovered me a long time ago, so he stayed here specially because he had something to discuss with me, right?"
Zhao Bai's cheeks puffed up slightly, but he soon regained his composure.
"Since the third prince spoke so frankly, there is no need for Zhao Bai to be secretive."
"If General Zhao has any ideas, feel free to put them forward. Maybe the two of us will reach a consensus."
"Okay, Third Prince, just do it."
Zhao Bai chuckled, took out a mask from his arms, and put it on his face.
"You, are you the new owner of the pawn shop, Zhao Jia?"
"Yes, I am that Zhao Jia. In fact, it was the emperor's wish that I bought this pawn shop. We want to use this pawn shop to catch a big fish."
Wo Kuotai looked at Zhao Bai with disbelief.
"General Zhao, if you can tell me such a secret thing, you must want me to do something for you."
Zhao Bai smiled slightly.
"The third prince also has something in mind that he wants Zhao Bai to help with, doesn't he?"
Zhao Bai said, poured some water on the table, and then wrote the word "four" on the table with his finger.
Then he put a big cross on those four characters.
Wo Kuotai's eyes widened, and then he suddenly burst into laughter.
"It's really comfortable to work with General Zhao. You can understand everything without going into details."
Wokuotai also dipped his finger in a little water and wrote the words "account book" on the table.
After thinking for a while, I added another word "real".
When Zhao Bai saw it, his face lit up.
"The third prince knows its whereabouts?"
"If I don't even know this, what can I give in exchange for General Zhao's Chacha?"
After saying that, Wo Kuotai laughed, and Zhao Bai also laughed.
The laughter of the two people echoed and circled in the deserted courtyard, making the night look colder and colder.
In the cold moonlight, Zhao Bai raised his tea cup: "Come, Third Prince, let's drink this cup of tea for the sake of our happy cooperation. If we succeed, we will drink the wine."
The teacups collided, making a clear sound, which seemed extremely scary in this silent night.
