Princess Jiaojiao arrives, teasing the prince to blush and heartbeat

On New Year's Eve, it was extremely quiet because of the snow.

In this quiet night, in the snow outside the city, there was a sound of horse hooves trampling on the snow. On the horse's back was Leng Xi, who had a dark face and was dressed in black night clothes.

It turned out that Leng Xi had made up his mind to cooperate with the people of Beihai, and he seemed to realize that this was the only way for him to succeed.

Therefore, after coming out of the palace, he found Yu Shiming and expressed his willingness to cooperate with the people of Beihai. Yu Shiming told him the place where Teng Gexiang lived.

He didn't have time to rest, and he didn't have time to return to Prince Xi's Mansion to spend the New Year with his wife and children, so he got on his horse and rode non-stop to the outside of the city alone.

This silent night was disturbed by the sound of his horse's hooves, and the cold winter wind blew a chill in his heart.

He knew that his trip was a road of no return, but he still felt that he had to take this road because he had no choice.

Perhaps knowing that he would come, Tenggexiang had already ordered someone to wait at the entrance of the village.

Seeing that his horse had stopped, before he could speak, the man stepped forward and said:

"plz follow me."

Leng Xi couldn't help but be a little surprised. Did this person from Beihai Kingdom already guess that he would come?

He followed the man to the door where Teng Gexiang was. After the man knocked on the door a few times, there was an echo in the room, so he opened the door and motioned for him to come in.

After nodding to the man, he raised his feet and with a heavy heart crossed the threshold that left him with no way to turn back.

After entering the door, he looked at the two people sitting on the kang and said with astonishment on his face:

"Master Wu?"

Wu Yuanzhang waved his hands calmly,

"Prince Xi, you are fine."

Although Leng Xi had long known from Yu Shiming that the line with Beihai was led by Wu Yuanzhang, he did not expect that Wu Yuanzhang would dare to come to Daning.

Seeing that he was a little surprised, Wu Yuanzhang introduced calmly:

"Prince Xi, this is the king of Beihai Kingdom. He came personally to negotiate for peace with Prince Xi, which shows Beihai Kingdom's sincerity on this matter. My lord, you must treat it with caution!"

Leng Xi looked at the older man with a beard in front of him, looked him up and down, cupped his fists and said:

"Since the king is sincere, I, Leng Xi, will take it seriously, but I don't know how the king can help me? What should I do?"

Teng Gexiang looked at Leng Xi with his sharp eyes, then waved his hand and said:

"Prince Xi, since you are here, don't be polite. Sit down and talk if you have anything to say."

Leng Xi shook his clothes lightly and sat across from them, feeling a little uneasy in his heart. After pondering for a long time, he couldn't help but said in a cold voice:

"Today is the New Year, and I have to go back to spend the New Year with my wife and children, so we might as well get straight to the point."

Leng Xi actually didn't have much favorable impression of the King of Beihai Kingdom who seemed a bit aloof.

Probably because he has never been ignored by others.

"Hahaha!"

Zhen Gexiang suddenly raised his head and laughed, and then said:

"Prince Xi wants to return home to celebrate the New Year with his wife and children? What about me? I also have a wife and children, but I came all the way here. When I return, spring has already begun and the flowers are blooming. How can I celebrate the New Year?"

Leng Xi raised the corners of his mouth and looked at him with disdain.

"The king didn't come just for me, Leng Xi!"

Zhen Gexiang nodded without hesitation,

"You are right. Of course I am not here just for you, but to see you is also on this trip. Since you are here, let's not beat around the bush here and let's get straight to the point!"

After saying this, he glanced at Wu Yuanzhang and continued:

"Wu Guoshi has been in our Beihai Kingdom for more than ten years. He knows my king's temper best. I don't like procrastination in speaking and doing things. I invite you here today because I want to cooperate with you so that we can mutually benefit. If you agree, Just do as I say, if you don’t agree, we can discuss it again.”

Leng Xi had long heard Yu Shiming mention that Wu Yuanzhang went to Beihai Kingdom. Unexpectedly, he had already reached the position of national advisor in Beihai Kingdom. It seemed that Wu Yuanzhang was really an extraordinary person.

He nodded with cold eyes,

"Tell me."

The corners of Teng Gexiang's lips raised proudly, and he said calmly:

"The national power of our country, Beihai, is far greater than that of your Daning country. Over the years, Beihai has successively recovered some small border countries, and is now preparing to unify all countries. If you are willing to cooperate with us, I promise you that after this is accomplished, this big country will You will still be the emperor of the Ning Kingdom. However, by then, the Ning Kingdom will no longer be a small independent country, but will be part of the Beihai Kingdom. You will also have to pay taxes to the Beihai Kingdom on time and pay tribute to the king in an amount equal to the same amount every year. Items waiting for..."

"absurd……"

Before Teng Gexiang finished speaking, Leng Xi stood up angrily, waved his sleeves, and yelled:

"Our country, Daning, has always been an independent country. Even if your Beihai country has a strong military, it has not dared to invade easily in these years. Now it requires our country, Daning, to be subordinate to your Beihai country. This is simply whimsical. I don't agree with this request. I will agree, and at worst I, Leng Xi, won’t fight for the throne, so don’t have your wishful thinking.”

Seeing Leng Xi getting angry, Wu Yuanzhang hurriedly raised his hand and pressed it down.

"Prince Xi, calm down and want to achieve great things. Whoever has a louder voice will be more powerful. Don't you see the situation in Daning Kingdom now? If you want to sit in the position of emperor with your own strength, it is simply a delusion. , Moreover, the emperor has read out the imperial edict of canonization today. On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, Leng Yu will be enthroned as emperor. When he sits on the throne, if you think about making trouble again, it will be rebellion, and you will be despised by all the people, so , your validity period is only eighteen days, you have to consider yourself whether to agree to our king's request."

Wu Yuanzhang's words made Leng Xi fall into deep thought.

Eighteen days?Is it so easy to achieve great things?

Seeing him hesitating, Teng Gexiang continued to mock:

"I know that today is the day when you plan to start a war, but I didn't expect that your plan was seen through by Leng Yu. The plan you laid out collapsed in an instant. Do you know why this happened? Ji Wei You have never been on the battlefield, have not participated in a war, do not know how to deploy, and do not have a capable assistant by your side to be your military advisor. A person without backing strength is like a duckweed floating on the sea, without a purpose. , and there is no way out. In the end, it can only sink into the sea. If you cooperate with me, I will be your strong backing. When things are done, your Daning Kingdom will only need to pay tribute to Beihai Kingdom every year. This will For the country of Ning, which has a vast territory and abundant resources, it is just a drop in the bucket. You, Prince Xi, are not so stingy, are you?"

The words of the two of them sent shivers down Leng Xi's spine. How could they know so clearly what had just happened in the palace?Could it be that there are their spies in this palace?
