Xiaojiazhuang is not far from Huainan City. The sunset is shining on the official road among thousands of acres of fertile fields. You can see the buildings with water town characteristics in the distance.

Xu Buling walked alone on the road, thinking about the conversation in the brothel just now.

Xu Buling is a newcomer and does not understand the situation in the Wang family in Hangzhou and Jiangnan. Such an enemy's situation is obviously undesirable. We must understand these things as soon as possible.

Before he could reach the Linhe Villa where Xiao Qi lived, the sound of wheels came from behind, and the sound of a man saying hello:

"Little Prince."

Xu Buling looked back and saw a large carriage heading behind him. Hua Jingting, the butler of the Xiao family, was turning over and dismounting to salute.

Xiao Qi should be sitting in the car, and the door was not opened.

Seeing this, Xu Buling didn't have to look for it anymore. He turned around and walked up to him, raised his hand and bowed:

"Miss Xiao, what a coincidence."

The carriage was silent, obviously feeling that the enemy was narrow, and it was only this big road to return to the Xiao family. Since I met him, I had to ignore Xu Buling. After a while, a calm voice came from the carriage:

"Crown Prince Xu, come up."

Xu Buling chuckled, flew up and jumped onto the carriage.

The carriage is very wide, with two bookshelf and a bed in it. Xiao Qi has been walking around the south of the Yangtze River all year round and spends more time on the car and boat than in the mansion.

At this time, Xiao Qi was sitting on the couch and flipping through books. Her black and bright hair was simply folded up, and a few strands of black hair fell down, setting off her beautifully curved cheeks, and her moist apricot eyes exuded a clear and translucent luster. The black long skirt on her body was just right wrapped in a plump figure, dressed in a simple and generous manner, and her slightly charming appearance was neutralized by a cold temperament, and she looked only dignified.

Because she looked the same as the baby, Xu Buling naturally felt a little intimate. Seeing that Xiao Qi was so stunning to read, she sat down next to Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi felt the little couch sitting down slightly, and turned her head to look at Xu Buling who was sitting next to her, with her eyes very cold.

“…”

Xu Buling had no choice but to get up, sat opposite him and said:

"Miss Xiao..."

Xiao Qi raised her hand and said, "Let's talk about it when you go back, or you'll go down."

There are entourage guards outside the carriage, and there are many experts with good eyes and ears. It is indeed inappropriate to talk about the last time I rolled the bed sheet.

However, Xu Buling didn't want to talk about the last time here, his face calmly and he chuckled:

"Today I went to wander around the city and met Wang Ruiyang. I would have something to talk to the eldest lady."

Seeing Xu Buling talking about serious matters, Xiao Qi's eyes relaxed a little and closed the book.

As the saying goes, "Etiquette begins with dressing and dressing." As the head of a family, his words and behaviors and even sitting postures require meticulousness to avoid losing his identity.

However, Xiao Qi obviously did not have the interest to sit upright at this time. She leaned her arms around her chest and leaned against the soft collapse, and she was still crossing her legs irregularly, looking at her superiors looking at her subordinates.

This position is very rude to ordinary people, but Xu Buling has seen cheongsams and high heels, and he only thinks this position is pleasing to the eye and doesn't mind at all.

"Wang Ruiyang came to Huainan half a month ago, and his name was to reminisce about his classmates at Shungeng Academy. Since you came to you as soon as you came, maybe it was just for you. What did he say to you?"

Xiao Qi's voice was exactly the same as Xiang'er, but his tone was so different. Xiao Qi's tone was almost without any emotion, and there was a bit of oppression. It probably meant that "I said, you heard it clearly."

This momentum has been fostered all year round, so naturally it is not done deliberately.

Xu Buling thought for a while: "I have a few jade artifacts on my hand, which should have been passed down from the Daqi period of the previous dynasty. People in the Jianghu are searching for this thing..."

"Wang Ruiyang and you are inquiring about the jade artifact?"

"That's right, the Eagle Tower is also searching for jade, which involves a lot. I want to know who the Wang family is doing for."

Xiao Qi was keen on her mind, and she understood the general idea after a little connection between the three clues of the Eagle Tower, the Wang family, and the jade artifacts. She thought for a while:

"The matter in Jiangnan has nothing to do with you. You can come and propose marriage and live in the Xiao family honestly, so don't ask about this."

"I'm not here to be my son-in-law."

“…”

Xiao Qi fell silent, stared at Xu Buling's eyes, expressionless, like a female lion about to be angry.

This look can make many people sweat on their foreheads, but unfortunately, they don’t look at these naturally immunized people and calmly.

After all, he was the prince of a vassal prince. Xiao Qi had no choice but to take Xu Buling, and finally snorted lightly:

"The Wang family in Hangzhou is not worthy of the court's weight, so they will definitely find another way out. In Jiangnan, they will naturally get closer to the King of Wu. Today, the King of Wu sent an invitation to celebrate the birthday party for a few days. I'm afraid the purpose is just to meet you."

Xu Buling was clear and thought for a while: "There are rumors that four jade pieces are gathered together in the world to find the Tongtian treasure book. It is impossible for the King of Wu, a vassal king, to believe in these things. What are he looking for?"

Xiao Qi shook her head: "I don't know, if what you said is true, and if you use so many forces to search, the things you are looking for will definitely be more expensive than the book left by Zuo Zhe first."

Xu Buling thought about it, so he asked again:

"How is the relationship between the King of Wu and the imperial court?"

This question is a bit sensitive. Xiao Qi sat upright a little, frowned and stared at Xu Buling:

"Do you suspect that the King of Wu secretly plotted against him?"

Xu Buling spread his hands: "So what if you and I know, and discuss the possibility, it is better than to know it later."

Xiao Qi has always been a matter of facts, and she has a clear distinction between sexual intercourse and serious matters. It is impossible to know all the major issues related to the interests of the family. She said seriously:

"Then tell me first whether your Xu family is secretly planning a throne."

Xu Buling blinked: "You marry me so that I can talk to you about this. If you don't marry me, you won't take it as the truth if I tell you."

Xiao Qi naturally understood this truth, and stopped asking now, turned her head and looked elsewhere.

Xu Buling was a little helpless and thought for a while: "Xiang'er and I have become husband and wife, and we..."

Xiao Qi's eyes turned cold.

"...I am a relative again, and I don't hide it from you. There must be a backer behind the Eagle Tower. The Eagle Tower and the Eagle Tower have blood feuds with the court, so what I want to do is self-evident. I suspect that the King of Wu is behind it, but I don't know the King of Wu's motives and the possibility of success. I want to ask Miss Xiao what she thinks about this."

“Motivation and possibility…”

Xiao Qi's face turned a little serious, frowned and pondered for a moment before saying softly:

"... The King of Wu is the oldest among the vassal kings. During the reign of the late emperor, he went to Beijing to study. He had an argument with the fourth prince of the late emperor because of playing chess. During the fight, he accidentally pushed the fourth prince off the platform and broke it. Fortunately, the old King of Wu was the brother of the late emperor. He accumulated a lot of power and forced the King of Wu to save the King of Wu...

...After the King of Wu ascended the throne, he inspected Jiangnan with his youngest son. He was once in danger of sinking a ship on the river. The King of Wu escaped, but his beloved son drowned in the river. It has not been found out until now that it was an accident, or someone secretly tampered with it...

...If the motive for the rebellion of King Wu may only be that King Wu suspected that the late emperor was resentful and attacked him, but dared not speak out, and he was always patient. After the emperor ascended the throne, he attacked you again, expressing his intention to reduce the vassal states. The rabbit died and the fox was sad and hurt his species. The King Wu had to start planning..."

Speaking of this, Xiao Qi frowned and looked at Xu Buling: "The news that the people in the Jianghu searched for four jade artifacts seems to be that you were shortly after you encountered a hiding in the Wei River. This statement is really hard to stand."

Xu Buling nodded slowly and asked again: "If the King of Wu really rebels for this, how likely is he to win?"

Xiao Qi shook her head and smiled: "Your father Xu You have 200,000 tiger and wolf troops, and the rebellion will never come back. The King of Wu has only 120,000 Jiangnan Fang Army. The last time he fought a war, it was a few decades ago. If you really want to raise an army, one of the King of Wei and King Yu can destroy the King of Wu, not to mention the King of Chu and Guanzhong cavalry behind him. It is impossible to fight to Chang'an, and rely on the natural barrier of the Yangtze River to defend Jiangnan, and even if you rely on the Yangtze River to defend Jiangnan, Emperor Xiaozong put the King of Wu's lineage in Jiangnan, which is rich in the world, and there are no foreign enemies on all sides, so he never thought of giving him troops."

To put it bluntly, the possibility is zero, and there is no chance of dying like King Su.

Xu Buling rubbed his forehead. Since the King of Wu could not rebel, he could not understand his intentions.

Xiao Qi looked at Xu Buling for a few glances, suddenly squinted her eyes slightly, and said softly:

"The only feasible way is to instigate you to rebel and destroy Chang'an. Then the six kings of the Song clan will kill each other in order to seize the throne. The King of Wu is rich and rich and has food in the world. He will definitely be won over by the two kings of Wei and Yu. He will last until the end. Even if he cannot usurp the throne, his current status will not be affected."

Xu Buling chuckled softly: "I'm not stupid."

Xiao Qi thought about it, so she wanted to make Xu Buling willingly act as a pawn unless her and Xu Buling's minds were in the air.

While chatting, the carriage stopped in the willow forest.

Xu Buling finished talking about the main business, and then it was time for the two of them to have a private matter. He stood up and opened the car door, raised his hand to signal.

Xiao Qi sat in the car for a while, obviously a little hesitant.

But when you come, you have to make it clear sooner or later.
