Being a cannon fodder female supporting role is not as good as marrying a lucky villain

Back in the West Hall, the anger in Yu Wenxu's heart still hadn't dissipated.

Yelu Han stepped forward quickly and whispered: "Khan, you still have to keep an eye on the fourth prince. This man is really stupid. If you are not careful, he will succeed. At that time, where can we find Mr. Xie?" Such a big salt merchant?"

"I ordered you to go down." Yu Wenxu nodded and said calmly, "What's more, Wu Zixu is not stupid. He will definitely keep an eye on the fourth child."

"It's a pity that such a talented person as Wu Zixu is really buried when he is with Lao Si."

Hearing this, Yelu Leng laughed and said, "Don't worry Khan, Wu Zixu is a smart man, and he despises fools the most. If the fourth prince continues to toss, he will definitely defect to you."

“At that point, you can close the net.”

"What uncle said is absolutely true." Yu Wenxu nodded, but the smile that just appeared on his face was replaced by worry, "It's just that the Chu army is coming fiercely. I heard that it has arrived at the Moon Sea. Our army can really resist it. ?"

"The Chu army only has a large number of people, but their advantages cannot be used on the plains. Our Huns cavalry will definitely be able to sweep everything!" Yelu Han's voice was extremely firm, "Khan, don't worry too much. What we have to do now is to ensure food and grass." supply!"

"Thank you Master for the salt, we must get it."

Hearing Yeluhan's words, Yuwenxu nodded repeatedly.

But after a moment, he sighed again: "What we know about him is limited to the shopkeeper of Manxiang Tower, and we no longer know the others."

"I wonder if he is willing to sell all the salt to us?" Yu Wenxu looked worried, "What's more, I'm still a little suspicious of his identity."

The lack of salt is real, but so is the suspicion.

Just when they were short of salt, a big salt merchant suddenly came. How could this not make people suspicious?

Thinking of this, Yu Wenxu fell into deep thought.

Seeing this scene, Yelu Han comforted him and said: "Khan, you don't have to worry too much. The shopkeeper of Manxiang Tower knows people best. He said that Mr. The beauties we brought are hanging out in the house, and the other things are done by the boys around us."

"There is no need to worry about such a person." Yelu Han laughed with great disdain, "But this is indeed a salt merchant who needs to be firmly grasped. If you want to see him, your words and deeds must not show the true meaning of your heart. What you want.”

"Usually those boys around such a dandy are the shrewdest."

Hearing this, Yu Wenxu nodded thoughtfully.

"Where is the shopkeeper of Manxianglou?" Yu Wenxu asked, "I want to see him."

As Yu Wenxu finished speaking, Yeluhan immediately waved behind him, and the shopkeeper of Manxianglou walked in with fear.

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​informing General Yelu of Mr. Xie's existence?"

The shopkeeper knelt on the ground and whispered: "The general has always let his servants manage Manxiang Tower and keep an eye on every move of the merchants. Today he also saw Mr. Xie's extraordinary actions. He thought of the shortage of salt in the army and hurriedly told the news. General."

"In your opinion, what kind of person is Mr. Xie?"

The shopkeeper frowned and thought hard in his heart. After a while, he hesitated and said: "Apart from his outstanding appearance, he has no other advantages."

Speaking of this, he slapped his head and said quickly: "The steward Yue who is with Mr. Xie said that Mr. Xie's visit to our Xiongnu this time was also a mistake. He only wanted to sell the salt at a good price."

"Slave, I listen to Butler Yue. As long as the price is cheaper than that of Chu State, if we want to buy them all, it should be much cheaper!"

"Butler Yue also said that Mr. Xie's family has a unique salt-making craft. The output of the salt field is twice as much as that of other families, but the salt tax they handed over to the Emperor of Chu was different from other families. The family is the same, so we have accumulated a lot of salt.”

The more he listened to the shopkeeper's words, the more excited Yu Wenxu became.

He held the armrest tightly and his eyes were very firm: "You must take this person under your command!"

"Don't worry, Khan. Early tomorrow morning, I will go to Manxiang Tower in person to meet Mr. Xie." Yelu Han immediately accepted the order and asked the shopkeeper, "Do you know what Mr. Xie likes?"

The shopkeeper thought hard and racked his brains before he managed to say one sentence: "I see Mr. Xie being inseparable with that beauty all day long. He must be a lecher."

When Yu Wenxu heard this, he put his hands on his hands and smiled: "Uncle, you might as well bring a few more beauties to meet him. Maybe by sending a few beauties, you can make him willing to cooperate with us?"

Yeluhan also smiled, "The Huns are full of beauties."

After thinking about it carefully, Yeluhan had a candidate.

……

In the east hall, Wu Zixu had a good conversation with Yu Wenzheng to persuade him. Seeing that Yu Wenzheng had extinguished all the thoughts in his heart, he felt relieved and said, "Khan, I'm leaving."

Yu Wenzheng waved his hand and asked Wu Zixu to leave.

Most of the anger in his heart had dissipated under Wu Zixu's endless persuasion, that's all, he thought, let's repel the Chu State for the time being.

When the Chu Kingdom withdraws its troops, he will definitely teach Yu Wenxu a lesson!

Wu Zixu left the east hall quickly. His expression became colder day by day. The palace people in the royal court did not dare to get into trouble. Seeing him coming from a distance, they quickly knelt on the ground with extremely frightened expressions.

After leaving the royal court, Wu Zixu did not return to the Wu family.

He seemed to be wandering around the royal city, randomly found a restaurant, and drank to relieve his worries.

The people following Wu Zixu looked at each other, and they all sympathized with Wu Zixu.

It is indeed not an easy job to follow a master like Yu Wenzheng.

Wu Zixu drank wine to relieve his sorrow, and did not leave his private room for a long time.

The guys in the store knew Wu Zixu and didn't dare to disturb him, leaving Wu Zixu alone in the private room.

However, Wu Zixu was not alone in the elegant room.

Wu Zixu, who was drunk and unconscious in everyone's eyes, had very clear eyes at this moment and was not drunk at all.

"I've worked hard for you all these years."

The man sitting opposite Wu Zixu poured a glass of wine for Wu Zixu.

Hearing this, Wu Zixu smiled, raised his wine glass, and said to the man: "Your Highness, there is no need to be polite. This is the duty of this subordinate."

"Your Highness, you have traveled thousands of miles to come to the royal city just for the promise you made. I really admire you." When Wu Zixu spoke, he bowed solemnly to the person in front of him.

He never expected that for that casual promise back then, this man would actually come to pick him up in person.

The man sitting opposite him was clearly Xie Yan.

Xie Yan raised his hand and helped Wu Zixu: "You traveled thousands of miles to come to the royal city for me and changed your appearance to become the second son of the Wu family."

When speaking, Xie Yan looked extremely sincere.

Seeing this, Wu Zixu smiled and said, "You treat me like a nobleman of the country, and I will repay you as a nobleman of the country!"

"Your Highness, your subordinates have already completed more than half of what you asked them to do. The rest depends entirely on how Yu Wenzheng does it."

"Didn't Yu Wenzheng notice?" Xie Yan asked.

Hearing this, Wu Zixu sneered, his eyes full of disgust: "Yu Wenzheng is arrogant, arrogant, and short-sighted. There is nothing to worry about. On the contrary, Yu Wenxu is a greater threat."

"However, according to my subordinates, these two people together cannot compare to the second prince Yuwen Tuo."

"Your Highness, if you want to control the Huns, you might as well choose Yu Wenzheng, he is a suitable puppet."

Xie Yan drank a glass of wine, and there was no other emotion in his dark eyes: "Although these two people are easier to control than Yuwen Tuo,... they have a fatal flaw."

"Yu Wenzheng and Yu Wenxu have no bottom line and only seek to gain their own interests. If I cooperate with them, I am afraid that what I am worried about is not that the Xiongnu will grow stronger, but that under their governance, the Xiongnu will fall apart again and become wandering around. Bandits are invading the borders."

Hearing this, Wu Zixu pondered for a while: "Your Highness is right to think so."

"It's just that Yuwen Tuo is very ambitious and good at using people. If he becomes the Khan of the Huns, I'm afraid that a hundred years later, the Huns will raise their flag and rebel again like before."

"Don't worry." A smile flashed across Xie Yan's eyes, as if he was thinking of someone, and his eyes softened.

Under Wu Zixu's gaze, he said slowly: "A hundred years from now, the Huns will still be our vassal state of Chu."

"Or... they have become a part of the Chu State." Under Wu Zixu's puzzled gaze, Xie Yan repeated what Gu Ning had said before.

"When they get used to using our utensils, eating our salt, and wearing our clothes, do you think they can go back to the beginning?"

"Except for their different looks, they are already the same as our people in Chu."

"After the settlement is established, the refugees will be resettled near the settlement. They may be doing business or pursuing official careers. But as long as the settlement is still there, the Huns will involuntarily integrate into us."

"Since the two countries can trade, they can intermarry. Do you think the life of the Xiongnu is more attractive, or the life of the Chu Kingdom?"

"Of course it's Chu. Looking at it, only the Huns imitated the Chu people, and no Chu people ever imitated the Huns." Wu Zixu fully understood Xie Yan's intention, and his eyes were filled with wonder, "Your Highness is a great talent! "

"I didn't think of this." Xie Yan smiled, "It's Ning'er."

Hearing this, Wu Zixu understood clearly: "It's Princess Changning!"

"Even when I was far away in the Xiongnu, I heard a lot of rumors about Princess Changning, but I didn't expect that the rumors mostly said that the Princess was extremely beautiful, but they never mentioned that the Princess was also so smart!"

The smile on Xie Yan's face gradually deepened, and Wu Zixu was amazed when he saw this.

The Xie Yan he saw a few years ago was like a piece of ice. How could it be so vivid?

The only one who can make His Highness change like this is Princess Changning.
