Why is it greed rather than reason that keeps Zhou Xingyun calm? Because Zhou Xingyun knows very well that Isabel intends to cause him to riot. Once he becomes messy, not only will he not be able to gain any advantage from the beauty, but he will also be controlled by others in the future.
Isabel's martial arts skills were more powerful than his, so Zhou Xingyun's fate as a beast was to die before he left the battle. Only by being determined and determined again could he gain more benefits.
But having said that, Isabel's analysis was absolutely correct. The Empress Dowager has not held the coronation ceremony for a long time. Firstly, we are not ready, and secondly, she is afraid that the Sixteenth Emperor will jump over the wall in a hurry.
"My little girl also heard that Mr. Zhou is an envoy sent by the Heavenly Palace. He has the ability to go to heaven and earth. He once took the sixteen emperors to travel to the fairyland, so he became his confidant."
"Ms. Isabel, do you want me to introduce you to the Sixteenth Emperor?" Zhou Xingyun calmed down in an instant, because he was keenly aware that Isabel had been testing her intentionally or unintentionally since the beginning, as if she wanted to
With every word he said, it was possible to identify which side he was on, whether he was helping the Sixteenth Emperor's rebellion or assisting His Royal Highness in ascending the throne.
"Don't misunderstand me, sir. This little lady has no intention of doing so. Whether I can meet the Sixteenth Emperor or not is not important to me. I have an appointment with Lord Zhou tonight. As I said before, I want to be a close friend with you. If Sir
I trust you, little girl. If you need any help in the future... I and other members of the Xuanbing Palace will serve you without any hesitation. We are not the current prince, nor the sixteenth prince, but we will only sacrifice our lives for you, sir."
"Sister Xuannv is very thoughtful. If my little brother encounters trouble in the future, he will definitely seek help from your sect." Zhou Xingyun said with a perfunctory smile. Isabel's words were so nice that he almost believed her. No one is afraid of verbal promises?
What matters is whether it can be fulfilled.
Nowadays, Zhou Xingyun is so cunning that he would not believe Isabel's one-sided words. Unless the beautiful woman commits herself to her and has a substantial relationship with him, all verbal promises are nonsense, and only interests are the key.
"Since Mr. Zhou doesn't treat me as an outsider, Isabel won't be polite. There is one thing I want to understand. Sir, you are a confidant of the Sixteenth Emperor, but you are also the grandson-in-law of Taifu Xu. As far as I know
, Taifu Xu is a veteran who helps His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and he and the Sixteenth Emperor are considered life-or-death enemies. May I ask, sir, what are your intentions..."
"From what you see, what should I do?" Zhou Xingyun directly threw the question back to Isabel.
What does "don't treat me as an outsider" mean? On what basis does Sister Xuannv judge that he doesn't treat her as an outsider? Except for the fact that his paws are a little rude and can't help but press on the beautiful lady's hand, he is very outsider in every other aspect! Not at all
Like one of our own!
Zhou Xingyun hasn't figured out Isabel's trump card yet, so he will never stupidly tell the girl his position in the court. If the girl is a secret chess piece of the Sixteenth Emperor's son to test his hypocrisy, wouldn't it be over?
"Since the adults have asked, the little girl dared to speculate. Today's prince of the Holy Dynasty is known as a benevolent king, and all the people are counting on him to ascend the throne and govern benevolently. However, the sixteenth emperor is ambitious, colludes with the powerful officials of the dynasty, and is eyeing the emperor's throne.
, so that the Empress Dowager dared not hold a coronation ceremony for fear of forcing the Sixteenth Emperor to seek the throne."
Isabel suddenly paused and looked at Zhou Xingyun, as if confirming with him whether what she said was correct. "Sister Xuannu, please continue." Zhou Xingyun raised his hand and motioned for the girl to analyze further.
"The current prince's indecisiveness and the benevolence of women have prompted the sixteen emperors to take advantage of the opportunity to form cliques to gain private power and dominate the government and the public. However, the crown prince's ascension to the throne and proclaiming himself emperor is the will of the late emperor. It is just and logical, and it is also the aspiration of all the people. Furthermore, your highness personally
Mother, the Empress Dowager is in Kyoto, so the power competition between the two sides is evenly matched, and no one is sure of winning. As a result, the sixteen emperors do not dare to act rashly, thus creating the current deadlock."
"It's just that, in my humble opinion, the seemingly peaceful competition in the court will soon stir up a storm in the city and enter the next stage. Because the big shots who can lead to the balance of power between the two sides have quietly used unimaginable means and promotion steps.
, fighting for official career. Mr. Zhou, do you think the analysis of civilian women is correct?"
"Ah? Sister Xuannv, are you analyzing? I thought you were praising me. I feel so embarrassed when the big shot said that." Zhou Xingyun pretended to be crazy and acted like a fool. Although Isabel analyzed a lot at length, she did not
Talking about the key point, which is Zhou Xingyun's position, is he helping the Sixteenth Emperor or His Highness the Crown Prince? Isabel did not mention it at all.
"My little lady admires Mr. Zhou very much and is willing to confide in me. I hope I can help you and help you in your career. Unfortunately, my heart is weak and my mind is weak. Mr. Zhou always regards me as an outsider." Isabel withdrew her hand and returned.
When she got to her original seat, she no longer let Zhou Xingyun eat her. Without breaking her face, she used her actions to hint to the perverted boy that she was not satisfied with his answer. There was no way she could pretend to be crazy and get away with it.
"Well, I'm sorry to be blunt, my own people don't have the final say, actions are the key. Miss Isabel is a smart person, and she will definitely understand what I mean. As the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, and a small official has little power.
If you say anything carelessly, you will be killed. Furthermore, the girl admires my younger brother, which really flatters me. However, you and I met late, and we have only known each other for less than a day. Many emotional problems still need to be cultivated slowly.
,unless……"
Zhou Xingyun boldly stood up, walked to sit next to Isabel, put his right hand on the beauty's shoulder wantonly, and slowly stretched out towards the beauty that could not grasp it with one hand...
"Master Zhou, some things cannot be rushed. As you just said, the relationship between admiration and admiration needs to be slowly cultivated and transformed." Isabel smiled gently and elegantly, but there was a murderous intention in her eyes. Zhou Xingyun
After seeing the good news, the dog's paws quickly stopped making progress.
"Miss Isabel, do you know why I am so wary? It's not that the bait you threw out is not good, it's that the conditions you gave are so generous that I can't even imagine them. Pies in the sky will not fall in vain, Xuan Bing
If the palace is willing to serve me, there should always be something in return. However, you invited me to a banquet and never got to the point. How could I dare to treat you as one of my own? Of course, I am not saying this to you now.
For other reasons, it is precisely because I care about you very much, cherish it very much, and really want to have in-depth communication with you, Miss Isabel."
As if speaking from the bottom of his heart, Zhou Xingyun said to Isabel sincerely: "Perhaps the girl's admiration for me is just a means of negotiation, but my admiration for you is truly sincere. If Isabelle
Miss Saber thinks highly of me and thinks that I am a talented person who has the ability to help you achieve your wishes. You might as well reconsider the form in which we want to establish diplomatic relations. If we are really a family, no matter you want to be the leader of the martial arts alliance,
Regardless of whether you are on the hegemonic side, I will spare no effort to support you. Finally, I am impressed by the beauty of Miss Isabel. Let me tell you something. The information you want to know and my position in the court depend on your needs.
"
Zhou Xingyun either didn't say anything, but when he did, he said a lot of imaginative words, which contained a lot of intelligence information, so Isabel needed time to sort it out.
First of all, Zhou Xingyun expressed his goodwill to Isabel. He did intend to establish a diplomatic relationship with the beauty, but it was the first time the two parties met and their understanding was not deep. Many aspects needed time to adjust and consider. Zhou Xingyun had no idea what Isabel wanted, so he did not
You may unilaterally accept the other party's verbal commitment and sell your information to the other party.
Secondly, Zhou Xingyun hinted to Isabel that there are many ways to cooperate with him, and the beauty should consider it carefully and make a decision based on her own needs. If it is just a small favor, the two of them will meet tonight, and they are familiar with each other. Zhou Xingyun
I will help her without any hesitation.
It is true that Isabel spent so much time and money to have fun with him at the expense of her beauty. It was obvious that she had entrusted Zhou Xingyun with important matters, so Zhou Xingyun was very considerate and told the beautiful woman that he had multiple choices and made it clear that he was very interested in her. As long as Isabel
I am willing to marry him. Whether she wants to be the leader of a martial arts alliance or a prince, as a family, he will support her unconditionally.
Finally, Zhou Xingyun clearly told the girl that his current position could be to advance, attack, retreat or defend. Whether Isabel needed him to rebel or help the crown prince ascend the throne, he could satisfy her needs. It was up to her whether she could.
he.
"It's getting late, I should go back, otherwise it will be difficult for me to deal with it when Young Master Haolin finds out that the supervisor is missing." Zhou Xingyun took advantage of Isabel to think in a daze, put his hand on the girl's shoulder, and let it go.
Naturally and looking forward to death, he swept past and retracted.
If it were normal, Isabel would have stood up to see off the guests when Zhou Xingyun's claws fell, preventing the pervert from succeeding. But she was thinking about what Zhou Xingyun said just now, and when she noticed something strange, it was inevitable...
At first, Isabel raised her hand reflexively, trying to catch the thief's hand that crossed her heart, and threw Zhou Xingyun out of the tent. However, the moment she took action, a command was immediately sent out in her mind, telling the girl to
He suppressed the anger in his heart and told her not to fall out with Zhou Xingyun at this time.
As a result, it became the result that Zhou Xingyun wanted to see most. Isabel's cheeks, which were whiter than snow, showed a rare blush, and she accepted his obscene behavior indifferently.
"Master Zhou has a profound and far-sighted strategy, and the little girl admires him greatly. If you have time another day, you must give me your respect and continue the banquet with me."
"There will always be time. As long as Miss Isabel has thought carefully and is willing to meet with me, even if it is the Hongmen Banquet, I will generously attend the ceremony. Farewell!"
Zhou Xingyun clasped his fists and quickly turned around to exit the tent. It was really hard to deal with Isabel. He had been testing each other and guessing each other's intentions. As a result, after talking for so long, he still didn't know the beauty's purpose.
However, Isabel took the initiative to show her kindness to him and publicly expressed her support for him, but did not tell him her intentions. This only shows that what the beauty is planning is very important and is not suitable for outsiders to know.
Now Zhou Xingyun is only a little confused, where is his value in Isabel's heart, and whether he is qualified enough to know her goal...
