After a long time, he said, "You are not the only one who wants to work with me to make a plan in the world."

His slightly arrogant and straightforward words showed that Mengchangjun was born with superiority. He gently pinched a pot of crabapple petals decorated on the table, crushing it to the juice without mercy.

Chen Baiqi glanced at the embroidered crabapple flowers on his sleeve that were like purple butterflies, and felt that he was borrowing something to imply, but he had to cruelly remind him of a fact: "But you only fell on my hands."

She reminded her very gently.

It was obvious that being kidnapped in his territory hurt Mengchangjun's arrogant self-esteem, but he was gradually accustomed to the rebelliousness of "Chen Rui" under his appearance, so his expression did not change much. He sneered: "You tutor, you know what's going on. Do you think I'm so stupid to choose to join you?"

Chen Baiqi didn't really think that "making money for nothing" could convince this financial owner. In fact, on the way back, she had already thought of a countermeasure. She told her long-form draft: "What if I could help you obtain the gold mine in Donghu."

Mengchangjun knew that she had eavesdropped on the secrets of his driver, but he negotiated with him about the conditions. He smiled coldly and said, "Ha, I don't need it--"

She continued slowly again: "And no longer compromise the risk of fishermen drowning in swimming."

He was still not interested, and glanced at his eyelids and replied to her lazily: "No need-"

She was rejected twice in a row, but she was not affected and continued: "I said before that the benefits you get from talking to other people about the transaction will only be higher. You and others can only get some of the benefits you dig from the entire gold mine, but if you work with me, you can get one-half of the total gold mine."

Mengchangjun's refusal was stuck in his throat for three consecutive times, unable to vomit or swallow: "..."

Mengchangjun admired her a little.

How could she tell one set of lies after another so beautifully and sincerely? She really treated him, Mengchangjun and the general lustful person who was so blinded by his eyes and minds?

This gold mine was not the first discovery of him. Others invited many craftsmen to go to the East Lake for investigation and finally returned. After he took over, he could also be said to have found the most famous and experienced stonemasons in various countries. The result can be imagined. However, this gold mine at the bottom of the lake looks really attractive and has a promising interest, but it is very difficult to dig. Except for the part exposed to the shallow layer of the skin, the largest part below is determined to be impossible.

Now she is like a warlock selling fake medicines that she can dig out the value of the entire gold mine?

"Hahaha..." He couldn't help but burst into laughter, just listening to her words as an interesting and ridiculous joke.

Xie Yingyi and others beside him felt his laughter harshly. They were not like outsiders. They listened to Chen Baiqi's words on the same night. They trusted her as the accumulation and superposition of facts, like the weight of the mountains that could not be shaken. Therefore, when they saw that he didn't believe it, they made fun of him, and they all stared at him with annoyance.

Dog thief!

Chen Baiqi didn't realize that his reaction was wrong. She was very arrogant and said: "If you don't believe it, if you agree with the East Lake incident, if I do it, you and I will discuss cooperation."

Maybe he really thought it was ridiculous, but he wanted to play with her. Mengchangjun calmed down his mocking laughter and lit the table one after another with his fingertips. He said, "You are now an idle person, but you can just make a joke. But it's really a waste of my time. To show your sincerity, you might as well make a military order. In this way, I don't have to spend some time with you."

"Military Order?" Xie Yingyi looked at Chen Baiqi in surprise, his clear eyes slightly closed, and a strange color flashed through his eyes: "Arui."

Chen Baiqi heard Xie Yingyi calling her, looked at him, bent his lips and shook his head.

She looked at Mengchangjun again, but did not agree at all, but thought, "If you make a military order, it would be like a poisonous oath. You must do it. You are not planning to leave me a way out."

"You still have a way out? The Taifu Fang said so confidently, I thought you were sure that I could only choose you in the end." Mengchangjun said with a look of surprise.

A disgusting dog thief! Sarcastic! Si Jiang and Yizhong felt very disliked when they looked at him.

Chen Baiqi coughed cleanly. She thought for a moment and said a little relieved: "Then you also have a military order. If I can't do it, it's okay if I don't become this tutor. And you promised that if I can solve the problem of the East Lake Gold Mine, I will never form an alliance with me."

Mengchangjun looked at her wealth and honor, but in fact she was cautious and cunning inside. He would not be easily handled by others. He stared at her with deep eyes for a while and said, "Then add one more."

She was not surprised that he increased his bid: "Which one?"

"In addition to the gold mine in Donghu, you, Chen Rui, have to save the Dongshang and secret spies whom you captured by the prime minister Bo Xun Huo this time."

Chen Baiqi hesitated: "This matter is a bit difficult..."

"If you can't do it, there is no need to talk anymore." He said coldly.

"But it's not necessarily impossible." She gasped and was completely unaffected by him, and she fisted and said, "But, then let's settle it like this."

Mengchangjun's expression was a little too fast to keep up with her face change, and she got stuck: "..."

Chen Baiqi smiled innocently at him, pursing the corners of his lips like a sensible little fairy: "I am sending someone a pen and inkstone."

Both sides wrote military orders according to the other party's request, word by word, stroke by stroke. Mengchangjun picked the bones in the eggs, which made Chen Baiqi keep correcting them. But she was like a person with no temper and was not angry. She rewritten it over and over again before asking for his opinions. In the end, Mengchangjun felt that it was meaningless. The person who had a clumsy temperament could not even rub the sparks, which was boring.

He wrote a military order for her in a simplified manner and threw it on the table.

"The matter has been agreed upon, you'd better think about how to send me back from your mansion." He stood there, staring at her with a pair of peach blossom eyes and said quietly.

Chen Baiqi had already made arrangements for this. She knew that he loved to show off and was elegant and luxurious wherever he went. She was admired and admired. So she pulled out the highest-standard four-horse cart in her mansion for him to carry on, and called a hundred iron armored guards to protect him. Along the way, flowers were spreading incense to open a path for him to open a flower road. When idle people suddenly approached, they respectfully and exaggeratedly sent people from the Taifu Mansion back to his mansion in the south street of Wangcheng, which was invincible. This not only satisfied his arrogant vanity, but also found a way for him to lose his male self-esteem with her.

After seeing Mengchangjun off here, Chen Baiqi rubbed his sore shoulders and was about to go to Si Jiang to talk about Zhulin Village, but she didn't expect Xie Yingyi was waiting for her in the corridor first, but the other two were not with her.

He handed her something without delay: "This is a secret letter from Red Wax."

Chen Baiqi took a look and didn't open it: "Go to the study."

After entering the study and closing the door, Chen Baiqi walked to the tree lamp and roasted the red wax against the fire burning on the oil lamp for a while. When the wax softened, he opened the message and rolled up a piece of slender silk cloth inside, and the content on the cloth surprised her.

"What are you writing?" Xie Yingyi asked beside him.

Chen Baiqi handed him the secret letter.

He stretched out the silk cloth with two fingers and finished reading it quickly.

"Xu Yilu, the commander of Qin State, is the national teacher of Nanzhao State?" Xie Yingyi was a little surprised.

He looked at Chen Baiqi: "Who is Xu Yilu? But I have never heard of Nanzhao State and the national teacher."

"This person doesn't show any trace on weekdays, and I don't really remember this person. I'll ask Si Jiang to check him later." Chen Baiqi recalled.

"How could the Qin State's captain have a relationship with Nanzhao State?" Xie Yingyi was a little confused.

Chen Baiqi was silent and his eyebrows were covered with long eyelashes, and a uniform black shadow appeared on his eyes. She pointed at the table and slowly thought about the endless threads that were produced in her mind.

A unknown national teacher in Nanzhao State is now an official in Qin State.

This matter has something to do with the Nanzhao Kingdom.

The "tuqun" belonging to the Southern Dynasty was discovered by Wu Changting and appeared in the secret room of Baima Ziqi of Nanzhao Kingdom.

Diagram symbol, Netherworld Army.

Luoyang Zhou Dynasty royal family.

The frequent changes, rumors, and the soldiers outside Hangu Pass...

All the clues in Chen Baiqi's mind suddenly became a line. Her eyes flashed and she finally came to a conclusion: "Nanzhao Kingdom is afraid that it has already formed an alliance with the Zhou royal family, and they are now acting together."

She met Xie Yingyi's stunned eyes and said lightly: "What happened in Qin this time is probably unrelated to Xu Yilu."

Her affairs were so swift and close, as if she had witnessed everything by her side. She had suspected the ministers in the court. At first, they just said it without any intention. Now that I think it might be this Xu Yilu who was adding fuel to the fire to make up the harm for her.

Xie Yingyi and all the witch tribes were extremely disgusted with the people of Nanzhao. He thought of the deal between Chen Baiqi and Mengchangjun and said, "Saint Lord, you cannot let them go. Among the merchants captured by Qin this time, there must be secret spies from Nanzhao!"

"Yingyi, I have my own opinions on this matter. I will fulfill my promise to Mengchangjun and rescue people, but we will take care of the matter afterwards. Don't worry, I will handle this matter well."

She could not give up this excellent opportunity to join the gang. She expected that what happened in Qin this time was far beyond everyone's imagination. It was like an iceberg only exposed a corner of the water. No one could estimate what it was below.

She may not have enough time to slowly accumulate wealth and broaden the Shang dynasty for Qin State to accumulate increasingly thin treasury, but if she could get the help of Mengchangjun, the starting funds for the future hegemony would be considered as good.

After hearing her words, Xie Yingyi also understood what she meant.

"Have you returned from the tour of the city?" Chen Baiqi asked.

"Not yet. I heard that some things were delayed halfway, and new rumors arose on the way, saying that as soon as the Prime Minister of Zhao State ascended the throne, he would go westward to Hangu Pass immediately. So the left and right prime ministers were dealing with the source, but the arrested Dongshang would escort back to Xianyang." Xie Yingyi replied.

Chen Baiqi said cautiously: "Yingyi, send a group of people to closely monitor these escort teams, and they must let them take everyone back to Xianyang smoothly."

Xie Yingyi was stunned for a moment and immediately reacted: "Do you suspect that besides Mengchangjun, there are other people who want to interfere in this matter?"

She just felt a little uneasy in her heart, and she said, "Be prepared for any trouble, in short, these people cannot fall into the hands of others."

Xie Yingyi nodded and promised her: "Don't worry, I will arrange this matter."

——

The next day, Chen Bai entered the palace at the time of Mao, and brought some interesting gadgets to coax the little lord who had been neglected by her for a long time. Gong Zheng thought that Aguai had not seen "Chen Rui" for more than half a month, and might be a little unfamiliar with her, but he did not expect that when Xiaoguai saw her, he would snort and howl, and he would not allow others to touch her, and insisted on letting "Chen Rui" hug her.

Seeing this, he was also helpless. Since "Chen Rui" was here, he did not continue to guard Aguai and sued him to handle other matters.

Xiaoguai treats others fairly, but as long as "Chen Rui" is there, his whole heart is distorted, just like seeing his own mother, he is extremely close.

Chen Baiqi picked up Xiao Guai from the palace servants. When the cunning little guy saw her holding him, he twitched his wet mouth and chewed her. He didn't cry anymore, and was giggling and laughing.

Chen Baiqi also smiled and smelled several times without wishing to be outdone. When the soft and sweet frankincense smell came from the little guy, it was quite healing.

She took out an exquisite sheepskin rattle from her sleeve and placed it on his little hand, then grabbed his fat little hand and taught him how to play.

Xiaoguai got a new toy, and his grapes were wide open and he watched the rattle curiously, playing with regular play at the beginning, but then he threw, bite and grabbed.

Chen Baiqi naturally cleaned the things he played with for his children. After the rattle was finished, she boiled the rattle with boiling water and wiped it with wine. There was no other paint on it, so she was not afraid that he would chew on the hardwoods.

She gently poked his fat and tender face with her rounded fingertips.

He will always be close to her and will never deviate from her. This is not because of the illusory relationship, such as good feelings, that it will change at any time, but because her blood is flowing in his body, and the bloodline of the Lich King on her body is domineering and powerful, which means that he will have a natural bloodline connection with her like all the witch tribes in the future.

So no matter who wants to interfere with it and spread rumors and discord between them behind her back, she doesn't worry, because Xiaoguai's heart will always only look to her.

"Xiao Guai, no one in this world is closer to you than me. You and I are kings and ministers, but they are also subordinates to blood, so I will be loyal to you and you will not betray me." She smiled at him and murmured in a low voice.

Xiao Guai drooled. He listened to her speech and stopped playing rattle. He grabbed her fingers that poked her face and sent them into his mouth.

"Fu Fu--"

He called her.

"Fu Fu..."

"Hmm? Teething?"
