"Master, I was wrong!"

In an instant, the door closed.

Lou Qingyan pushed Lu Yu away when Lu Yu froze in front of her chest, and before he could react, quietly stuffed the document under the cushion under the cushion next to her.

Lu Yu waited for a long time before speaking, his voice hoarse: "Why do you want to cover up my appearance like this?"

Lou Qingyan's eyes were staring straight, and after a long while, he said slowly: "Otherwise, how do you explain that the emperor suddenly appeared in the shaman's room, and the two acted intimately?"

Lu Yu: "King Qi is my younger brother, so it's fine to tell him directly."

Lou Qingyan: "No."

Lu Yu didn't stick to this question.The embarrassment covering his whole body has not faded away, making him very uncomfortable.

He cleared his throat and returned to the original question: "What was under the mat just now?"

Lou Qingyan moved over to him, gave up his seat, reached under the cushion, and quietly removed a piece of crumpled blank rice paper from his sleeve: "I accidentally caught a piece of paper while cleaning the cushion."

Lu Yu glanced at him with some disbelief: "Really?"

"What's the point of lying? Could it be that I would hide important things under the cushion?" Lou Qingyan raised her eyebrows.

As he spoke, he lifted the cushion.

Lu Yu glanced at him suspiciously, leaned over, and stretched out his hand to check.

Lou Qingyan was smiling, and her heart was beating drums.Just now he just casually pushed things under the cushion next to him.If Lu Yu lifted the cushion next to him on a whim, then he would really be finished.

When Lu Yu leaned forward, he happened to lean over Lou Qingyan's chest.Lou Qingyan's upper body was kept straight, and the corner of her eyes nervously glanced at Lu Yu's hand.

Lu Yu's hand inadvertently brushed across the cushion next to him...

Suddenly, Lou Qingyan held his hand: "Look, I'll just say it's nothing, right?"

Lu Yu was about to speak.

Suddenly, the door opened again—

"Master! Are you all ready!"

Liangyu froze for the second time.

King Qi behind him also froze again.

Lou Qingyan once again subconsciously held the back of Lu Yu's head with the other hand, and pressed his face firmly against his chest.And he turned his face sideways to hide his face.

Lou Qingyan: "..."

This time, what the two people outside saw was different from before.The first time, it was the man who stretched out his hand; but this time, it was Lou Qingyan who held the man's hand, which was tightly pressed against the hem of his skirt.

Lou Qingyan was going crazy: "Why don't you knock on the door again and again!"

Liang Yu: "I thought you guys were already well..."

boom--

A pillow flew out and hit Liang Yu's face accurately.

"Just treat me like this in this little time? Who do you look down on!"

A quarter of an hour later, Lou Qingyan walked out of the room with a stiff face: "His Royal Highness, I'm sorry."

He put his veil back on, hiding his embarrassment under the black veil.

He didn't mention the other person in his room, and King Qi didn't ask, but just looked at him with ambiguous eyes.

They tacitly turned this embarrassing incident over.

After Liangyu served tea for the two of them, he went to the yard in desperation to punish the horse.

Lou Qingyan cleared his throat: "I don't know why His Highness came here?"

King Qi put away the ambiguous look on his face, and held his teacup awkwardly: "Actually... the king came here today to deal with the food issue of the fiefdom."

Lou Qingyan's heart skipped a beat.

The food problem in King Qi's fiefdom is the core of the story in the last large copy of the original book.However, why did King Qi take the initiative to come to him at this time?Does this mean that because of his presence, the entire plot line will have an unexpected deflection?

King Qi sighed: "At the beginning of the year, there was insufficient rainfall in the fief, and there were signs of poor harvests. At that time, the Beixing Pavilion hoarded food, and it should have been expected that this king would encounter such difficulties. You are worthy of being the owner of the pavilion."

Lou Qingyan's eyes narrowed.

At the beginning of the year, there was not enough rainfall. At that time, he just suspected that the scuffle in the original book would start at the end of this year, so he stocked up on food.

Unexpectedly, King Qi was able to deduce the purpose of his storage of grain a few months ago.

Lou Qingyan took a sip of tea: "You can't hide it from His Royal Highness Qi. Qi is rich in grain, and if the harvest is not good, it will cause turmoil in Xia's grain price. Therefore, I have predicted the planting season and stockpiled grain in advance. I want to earn some price difference. This is the investment of ordinary merchants. I hope His Highness will understand. But I didn’t expect this year’s harvest to be so bad. Stabilize the price and release the warehouse, and transfer some to His Highness's fief to relieve the urgent need."

King Qi hurriedly got up and bowed: "Thank you, Pavilion Master."

"No need. Your Highness's gift, I am ashamed to accept it." Lou Qingyan hurriedly helped him to his seat.

However, as soon as King Qi touched the stool, he began to sigh again.

Lou Qingyan frowned: "Your Highness, what's the matter?"

King Qi opened his mouth, as if it was difficult to speak.

Lou Qingyan was not in a hurry and waited for him quietly.

Finally, he was mentally prepared, and King Qi said: "To be honest, my king received a letter from Rong Guo a few days ago. They are willing to secretly help me."

Lou Qingyan's pupils immediately tightened.

In the original book, King Qi agreed to the letter and kept it secret.

At this time, he actually said it directly? !

Lou Qingyan's hand holding the teacup was a little unsteady: "Your Highness, speak carefully."

"This king knows what I'm thinking, and it's a great courage to come here today." Qi Wang said decisively, "A month ago, someone around the fief suddenly took action to stockpile grain, and immediately raised the price of grain to a high level. However, due to the bad weather in the whole country this year, and the border friction in the past few months to divert grain and grass, the price of grain has remained high. This king knows that even His Majesty can't afford enough grain and grass now."

"Some time ago, people from Rongguo were hoarding food." Lou Qingyan nodded, "Their purpose is to make His Majesty unable to help His Highness through the crisis."

When King Qi talked about this matter, his expression was ferocious: "This king kept his eyes open and began to investigate the garrison and refugees in the fief, and found that there were villains. If this king disagrees with Rongguo's plan, the fief will be full of hungry people, and those who are willing to challenge The scourge of uprising and rebellion, and then put a shit bowl on the king's head, His Majesty will not believe me!"

Lou Qingyan was a little confused while drinking tea.

King Qi was right.

Because in the original book, he was forced to join Rongguo step by step in this way.

Lou Qingyan turned to look at King Qi.

He was younger than Lu Yu, and he was the only younger brother among the princes who were enshrined after Lu Yu ascended the throne.

King Qi is not like King Yan and King Qiong, he is calm and cowardly by nature, he is not decisive in dealing with things, looks forward and backward, and is prone to anxiety.

But also because of this, Lu Yu didn't treat this younger brother badly, because he wouldn't turn his back on him.After cutting the feudal clan several times, Lu Yu let go of King Qi alone, which also showed his love for his younger brother.

Lou Qingyan sighed inwardly.Although King Qi looks cowardly, he is not stupid and has a clear mind.

Just like what he said, if Lou Qingyan didn't help him, he would have nothing but death besides treason and defection to Rongguo.

Such a prince who always thought about being able to dawdle and live his life in peace was forced to a dead end in the original book.

But now, everything will be different.

King Qi stared at him: "Pavilion Master, if you make a move, this king will be very grateful, and follow your orders."

Lou Qingyan put the cup away: "What do you want your Highness to do? Isn't it enough to help the hungry people?"

King Qi said: "The official road leading to the outside of this king's fiefdom is like a bag with a hole in it. No matter how much food there is, it will disappear inexplicably."

"You mean, someone made trouble in the middle?"

King Qi hurried over and held his hands: "Pavilion Master, food can only go through the formal business channel that Beixing Pavilion just cooperated with the government."

Because no one can break ground on Beixing Pavilion.

Lou Qingyan's head exploded.

If you follow the formal road newly established by Beixing Pavilion and the official, then it will be clear that Beixing Pavilion is intercepting Rongguo's plan, which means that Beixing Pavilion and Rongguo will directly turn against each other.

Lou Qingyan just came back from Rongguo, and he was obedient to the Mao there, is it necessary to make him turn around and break his promise, abandoning the deployment of Beixing Pavilion in Rongguo for many years?

King Qi said again: "Why don't Beixing Pavilion take action to help me clear up other villains along the official road? Or, if the food is regarded as His Majesty's, Beixing Pavilion will send people to guard the darts?"

Those villains are all from Rongguo, if Lou Qingyan makes a move like this, he will also turn against Rongguo.

Seeing that Lou Qingyan didn't speak, King Qi could only laugh at himself: "This king knew it would be like this. Beixing Pavilion will not take the initiative to come forward."

"Why didn't your Highness report directly to His Majesty?"

"The border is tight, and the troops have no time to take care of it." King Qi sighed, "Besides, this king has tried his best, but he can't catch them. Besides, everything is my inference, and there is no evidence. What if your majesty If I can’t return my king’s innocence, I still have to leave a way out for myself.”

Leave a way out.

That is the way to take refuge in Rongguo.

When Lou Qingyan heard this, he already knew that King Qi was relying on him.

He smiled wryly: "Your Highness, Beixing Pavilion is not for charity. I donate food out of good intentions, but the food must belong to Your Majesty, and I, Beixing Pavilion, cannot be involved in the slightest. Beixing Pavilion does not want to be involved in the war between you and Rongguo. "

Suddenly, Liang Yu broke in.

Lou Qingyan: "What's wrong?"

Liang Yu said, "Eunuch Zhang from the palace is here."

Zhang Delai invites Lou Qingyan into the palace.

Lou Qingyan's eyelids twitched.

Wasn't the one in the palace still in his yard just now?When did you go back to the palace again?

He turned his head to look at King Qi's look of being sure to rely on him, and the uneasiness in his heart grew even stronger.

The two brothers wouldn't have agreed a long time ago that they would team up to cheat themselves, right?

Hall of Mental Cultivation.The person who was still in Lou Qingyan's room just now changed into a dragon robe and watched him enter the hall with leisure.

"Brother, I don't know what's the matter with King Qi?"

Lou Qingyan's eyelids twitched: "He came to Beixing Pavilion to complain. Beixing Pavilion has already agreed to provide food."

Lu Yu smiled gently: "Of course that's good, I don't know which way to go?"

"It is naturally the emperor's kindness to help the disaster, and Beixing Pavilion is naturally following the original official path in the name of His Majesty."

Lu Yu opened his innocent eyes wide: "Senior brother really has the same heart with me."

"how?"

"Brother aided King Qi in my name." Lu Yu smiled harmlessly and showed his teeth, "But I helped King Qi with food in the name of brother. The team has already set off. The news will reach Rongguo soon."

Lou Qingyan's brain exploded: "Where did you get the extra food?"

Lu Yu: "It's true that I can't take out too much, but just a little grain stockpiling in the capital can be regarded as my best for my brother!"

"You are declaring war on behalf of Beixing Pavilion and Rongguo! We don't want to meddle in your affairs!"

Lu Yu got up with a smile, walked to Lou Qingyan's side, and leaned into his ear: "Now you are the Shaman of Xia Kingdom."

"Then I will resign at the worst! Don't try to fool me, I summon Fushiya, can you still beat me?"

"Give up struggling, brother, don't think about getting out of Beixing Pavilion, you are already on my boat." Lu Yu took out a document from the table case, "I love this little brother so much, King Qi really didn't let me down, Tell me everything."

"That's why the king of Qi has been in a good mood with you for a long time, and deliberately wants to drag me aboard!"

"correct."

Cold light flashed.

Lou Qingyan's hand holding the knife had bulging veins.The blade pressed against Lu Yu's shoulder.

His eyes were like ice: "I'm not joking with you."

The smile on Lu Yu's face also subsided, his expression was serious and dangerous: "I'm not joking with you either."

He raised his hand to press the blade on his shoulder, and met Qingyan's eyes upstairs.

"I said, if you want to usurp the throne, I will be ready anytime."

"But I don't allow you to join any other party."

"Even if you want to kill me," Lu Yu said the most unscrupulous words with the most serious expression, "I also hope that you will stand in my team and stab me from behind, instead of standing on the opposite side, with the blade facing you. Follow me."

"The war is coming."

"Calm down," Lu Yu patted the knife with his hand, as if coaxing a child, "Brother already knows that Beixing Pavilion has no allies other than Xia Guo, right? Now you kill Zhen but you can't stabilize Xia Guo The situation. Offending the Three Kingdoms like this, even the last ship is gone.”

"So, welcome aboard this thief ship."
