Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space
Chapter 1404: Sheep in the Tiger's Den
Jiang Xuan touched his nose and said solemnly, "I'm worried that we will fall into the tiger's den."
The Eighth Prince coveted the Phoenix Gu, and Tu Zhizhi's identity was special, so Jiang Xuan was worried that they would not survive after being trapped in Yongzhou.
"Who wouldn't worry?" Wan Shufang stretched her body and leaned against the wall of the carriage, looking quite helpless.
Chen Changli glanced at her, his thoughts turning unconsciously, and after a moment he said: "It's useless to think too much, but when we get to Yongzhou, we can find a way to gain the trust of the Eighth Prince."
Jiang Xuan looked at Chen Changli in disbelief. Seeing that he was serious, his brows jumped: "Aren't you afraid that the Eighth Prince will use you?"
"We are just using each other, so there is nothing to be afraid of." Chen Changli looked calm, and then he poured him some tea. "Your injury only looks better on the surface, but it actually needs some time to recover, so don't be too emotional, so as not to affect the injury."
Chen Changli advised gently, and Jiang Xuan listened to his tone and suddenly felt that he was worrying in vain.
He couldn't help but shook his head and drank the tea in one gulp. "You are really good at persuading people. But I am relieved to hear you say that."
The reason why he was so worried was because the people guarding outside were too aggressive.
He was worried that they would be secretly killed by these people before they even reached Yongzhou.
Now that Chen Changli said this, it means that he has guessed something and is ready to go deeper into the tiger's den.
Reaching out and touching his chin, Jiang Xuan said meaningfully: "I am a patient now, so there are some things that you two can just discuss. I have no intention of figuring out everything."
After he said this, he suddenly felt relaxed all over, and then he knew what was going on.
He couldn't help but laugh. The matter should be left to Chen Changli and his wife to solve. Why should he worry about it?
The more Jiang Xuan thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. He looked so relaxed that Wan Shufang couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
"Have you figured things out?" Wan Shufang felt that something was wrong with his expression and couldn't help but ask curiously.
Jiang Xuan smiled and said, "After Chen Changli's words, I naturally figured everything out."
"What have you figured out?" Tu Zhizhi's voice suddenly sounded beside him.
Jiang Xuan was startled.
He quickly lifted the curtain and looked outside. He saw Tu Zhizhi riding a horse and landing beside the carriage. He looked at her with a critical look and snorted coldly, "What are you doing sneakily?"
When Tu Zhizhi heard this, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, and then set her gaze on Wan Shufang.
Seeing her calm face, as if she had ignored him, Tu Zhizhi smiled brightly: "You were the ones who said bad things about me behind my back, so I interrupted you now."
"Why are you the only ones allowed to talk about me? Am I not allowed to be on guard against you?"
Without waiting for Jiang Xuan to answer, Tu Zhizhi continued, "Can it be that you only allow the governor to set fires but not the people to light lamps? Haha, then you are going too far. I will hate you to the core."
Tu Zhizhi did not hide her malice at all. If Jiang Xuan's answer was wrong, she would completely turn against him.
"Have you ever learned face changing in Bashu?" Wan Shufang listened to Tu Zhizhi's suggestive words and immediately helped Jiang Xuan to respond sarcastically.
"Wan Shufang, I didn't say anything about you. Why are you so anxious? Could it be that what Jiang Xuan said is what you think in your heart?" Tu Zhizhi's face turned cold.
"You were hurt, so she couldn't wait to show up in front of us." Chen Changli didn't want Wan Shufang to be treated sarcastically by Tu Zhizhi, so he spoke immediately.
Tu Zhizhi was choked by his words, and her expression gradually became ugly. After a while, she smiled and said, "It seems that you two are in a good mood. I hope you will be in the same mood when you meet the Eighth Prince."
After saying this, Tu Zhizhi rode away on horseback.
Chen Changli stared at her leaving figure, his brows furrowed slightly, and he became a little alert.
As Jiang Xuan's thoughts turned, he suddenly asked, "Tu Zhizhi's attitude is very strange. Have you offended her before?"
"Hasn't her attitude always been like this?" Wan Shufang disagreed. "Don't think too much about it. She is just taking advantage of us verbally. She can't do anything extra unless she plans to completely abandon the Eighth Prince."
Chen Changli nodded immediately: "Tu Zhizhi is Tu Yuanzhou's sister after all. Even if there are conflicts between the two siblings, they will not fight among themselves. So Tu Zhizhi's stay with the Eighth Prince is probably due to Tu Yuanzhou's arrangement."
"Until Tu Yuanzhou has no other plans, the cooperation between Tu Zhizhi and the Eighth Prince is unbreakable, but this does not mean that we have no chance."
"As the saying goes, everyone in the world is busy for profit. As long as we find their weaknesses and lure them with the benefits they care about, why should we worry that they will continue to cooperate?"
Chen Changli's eyes were cold, and he had obviously made up his mind.
After hearing this, Jiang Xuan said no more and just thought about what he could do to help him.
When Wan Shufang saw that he was silent, she immediately knew what he was thinking.
Her thoughts turned, but she didn't speak. She just pondered over Chen Changli's words. After a long while, she sighed and said, "It's too early to talk about this now. Let's make plans after we meet the Eighth Prince."
When she said this, she looked at Chen Changli steadily, as if waiting for his reaction.
Chen Changli seemed to realize something and quickly looked at her, but was met with a look full of worry.
He felt uncomfortable too, but he didn't show it on his face. He just smiled faintly at Wan Shufang, as if trying to comfort her with his usual smile.
When Wan Shufang saw his smile, the uneasiness in her heart was instantly relieved.
She said calmly, "As the saying goes, things will work out when we get to the bridge. I believe that when we get to Yongzhou City, many of my puzzles will be answered."
As she spoke, she held Chen Changli's hand, feeling the warmth of his palm, and her mood became even better.
This good mood lasted for a few days, but was completely shattered the moment she saw the Eighth Prince.
It was because the Eighth Prince's covetous eyes were too obvious, and Chen Changli was like a fish on the chopping board, about to be slaughtered by him. Wan Shufang felt sick when she saw this look.
"Eighth Prince, I haven't seen you for a few months, and you are still as charming as ever!"
Wan Shufang stepped forward deliberately, trying to block the Eighth Prince's gaze from looking at Chen Changli, but Chen Changli was too tall and she was relatively short, so this blocking was in vain.
She was not panicked and just praised the Eighth Prince.
"I heard that you proclaimed yourself Prince Yong. I guess everyone in Yongzhou respects you very much. They hope that you can conquer the world as soon as possible, become the new emperor, and bring prosperity to the people."
When she praised him to this point, Wan Shufang thought of Tu Zhizhi's identity, and deliberately acted puzzled, looking the Eighth Prince up and down.
Seeing that he was attracted by her, Wan Shufang spoke up, "But why has Tu Zhizhi always been by your side? This time, she even helped you bring my wife and I here. Your Highness, are you planning to marry Tu Zhizhi as your queen?"
