Wulong Inn

When Director Zhuo returned to the courtyard, Yuan Tianlang had already left, and only the prince was sitting alone on the stone chair with a pensive look on his face.

Director Zhuo first waited for a while, seeing that the other party showed no signs of recovery, he couldn't help but stepped forward, asking: "Your Highness?"

"Huh? You're here." The prince was stunned for a moment, and turned his gaze to Mr. Zhuo, as if he had just seen him.

Director Zhuo didn't take it seriously when he saw this, he hesitated for a while and said, "I don't know why Your Highness is so engrossed in thinking about it?"

Hearing the words, the prince first snorted softly, and then said in an unclear way: "The Zhang family may not be as easy to deal with as we thought."

Director Zhuo couldn't help but asked in doubt when he heard the words: "What is the meaning of this, Your Highness?"

Without directly answering Mr. Zhuo, the prince pondered for a moment, and then said unhurriedly: "The reason why we were afraid of that Zhang family was because of two reasons, one is that the Zhang family's Oolong firm controls The business in the foreign domain, the other is the support of General Luo Cheng, who is guarding the border, to the Zhang family..."

"Indeed," Director Zhuo couldn't help but said when he heard the words, but then he asked in doubt: "Isn't that so?"

"That's true, but it's not just that." As if recalling the conversation just now, the prince said carefully: "With these two reliances, and the advantage of their operating in Cangzhou for many years, they do have The bargaining chip for the father to negotiate, however, is only a little tricky, and it is not a serious problem..."

"Businessmen value profits, and they will never take risks in things that are not profitable. Once the old general Naluo is involved in the righteousness of the nation, he will eventually pay more to the court." Director Zhuo interjected in a timely manner.

"That's right!" The crown prince nodded and said, "Because these two advantages have great limitations, so at the beginning, I just took them into consideration, but now, I don't dare to think so..."

"But what did the third son Yuan say?"

Slowly nodding his head, the prince said frankly: "These two points are just things that the Zhang family puts on the bright side, and the forces in the dark are far more than that!" After speaking, the prince glanced at Mr. Zhuo and saw He still looked indifferent and didn't care, and continued: "They should have a large army!"

"There is such a thing?" Manager Zhuo finally looked a little surprised this time.

Nodding his head slowly, the prince sighed: "It's my fault that I didn't think about it. It is said that the Zhang family controls the business of foreign domains. If there is no strong military force, how can a loose business alliance make things happen. Presumably, the army In these years, besides protecting the merchants who come and go, they will also frighten the Rouran and Manchu tribes, otherwise, how could the Outland be so peaceful in these years," said the prince, and his words revealed a bit complicated: "I want to come , that army has been together with those tough foreign bandits all these years, and its combat effectiveness is not weak."

"Zhang Jiajun." Slowly uttering such a slightly unfamiliar word, Director Zhuo showed a touch of reverence on his face.

Ignoring the change in Manager Zhuo's expression, the prince said to himself: "Besides, in recent years, the Zhang family has also had many connections with the Nanmiao people who are far away in Yunzhou." As he said, the prince showed some playfulness on his face: "I was wondering why there are so many brocades on the market in recent years..."

Now, the astonishment on Manager Zhuo's face couldn't be concealed, and he couldn't help but exclaimed in shock: "Master Naluo..."

The prince heard the words and said: "Since he is from the Luo family, he should have reservations about us," he said, and sighed: "It's just that we have too little news and underestimated the Zhang family." Said With that, the prince showed a few hints of mockery on his face: "I was too conceited to return to my father, and my father was too conceited to see the danger clearly, but now that I'm here, I'm laughing at fifty steps."

Director Zhuo was about to express his relief when he saw this, when the prince said with some joy: "Fortunately, I have got the definite news now, and it's not too late. We have arranged everything properly, and everything is under control!"

Seeing the calmness and wisdom on the prince's immature face that didn't match his age, Director Zhuo's eyes also flashed a few traces of emotion. Suddenly, he seemed to feel something, his complexion changed, and he looked outside the courtyard. Seeing this, the prince also stopped talking in a timely manner.

Not long after, I heard a male voice shouting anxiously outside, but because of the distance, I couldn't hear clearly, the prince was just startled, then regained his composure, and raised his eyes to give Mr. Zhuo a wink.

When Director Zhuo saw this, he said knowingly: "I'll go and have a look now, my slave." Then he flew towards the outer courtyard.

Seeing that Director Zhuo had gone far away, the prince couldn't help but lower his head and think about the information he had just received.But after a while, a soft rustling sound made him come back to his senses.

Frowning and looking at the clumps of holly that made the noise, the prince's eyes flashed a little wariness.Not long after, under the surprised gaze of the prince, a small figure emerged from the dense branches—it was a boy with a handsome face.

The little guy obviously took a lot of effort to get out of the holly tree, not to mention a lot of flowers, leaves and dust on his body, and two scratches on the back of his hand, but he didn't realize it, and walked towards the yard Li stepped back to pay attention to the movement outside the courtyard, as if he was hiding from something.

Seeing the little guy who was getting closer and closer to him, the prince was stunned for a moment, and then he looked at the little boy's movements with a strange expression.

The little guy obviously didn't know that there were other people in this remote small courtyard, and while observing the movement outside the courtyard, he was pushed back into the small courtyard by his body.
