After losing the vest at the beginning, the female general was forced to marry the scheming prince

Chapter 31

Qu Chu carefully picked things for Su Yingxue.

Qu Chu's men's costumes are also like men. Outsiders see such a scene as a man buying a gift for his sweetheart.

Ning Youbei was speechless.

Did the two of them act so much that they really considered themselves a "couple"?

After paying the money, Qu Chu said to the clerk, "I'm a little anxious, can I borrow your hut?"

Dude is in a bit of a bind.

Qu Chu took out another ingot of silver and gave it to the waiter, "It's really urgent, please help me."

The clerk glanced inside, took the silver, and whispered, "Don't walk around, come out quickly."

Qu Chu thanked her, and went into the room clutching her stomach.

After a while, Qu Chu came out and thanked the man again.

After leaving the shop, Ning Youbei and Su Yingxue went to the next shop without asking any further questions.

In this way, Qu Chu used the same trick more than a dozen times.Of course, these dozens of shops were not the only ones they had visited. Some of the shops left after looking at them for a while.

Ning Youbei's hands were full of boxes and bags, big and small, and he was speechless: he was an imposing prince, but he became a servant.

He wanted to object but didn't object.

Qu Chu kept pretending to have a stomachache and ran to the toilet, while Su Yingxue kept picking things out and haggling over prices. In comparison, she might as well just be a servant.

If he was asked to pretend to have a stomachache and run to the toilet, he really couldn't bear this face.

……

After returning to the prefect's mansion that night, Su Yingxue knew that Qu Chu and Ning Youbei had something to discuss, so she went back to her own room first.

Ning Youbei made a pot of tea before sitting down opposite Qu Chu.

Qu Chu said to Ning Youbei:
"The dozens of shops I borrowed from today are all contact points established by various tribes. I'm not sure about some of the shops. Among them, the Tuotuo tribe has the most contact points."

So much?

"Then what do you think?"

Qu Chu thought for a while and said:
"We can't scare the snake for the time being, we will talk about it after we return from the tribes.

If we can successfully win over the Haiqing and Tuoye tribes this time, we will remove all the contact points of the Tuotuo tribe after we return, and drive the Tuotuo people out of Haiqing City.

If they fail to win over the Haiqing and Tuoye tribes this time, they will kill them all and drive all the tribesmen out of Haiqing City. "

Ning Youbei poured the tea slowly, wondering if the method Qu Chu said was too radical?
In fact, Qu Chu thought more radically.

No matter whether Ning Youbei agrees or not, she will not allow the tribes to take root in Haiqing City.

She will tell General Fan what she found out today, and let him find a suitable opportunity to take over all the strongholds.Even if she wins over the Tuoye Department and the Haiqing Department, she will not allow their spies to stay in Haiqing City.

The reason why she didn't express all the thoughts in her heart was because she was worried that Ning Youbei would think her methods were too drastic.

However, no matter how harmonious the relationship between countries is, no one is allowed to sleep soundly beside the couch!

It's just that she had already notified General Fan to let him investigate Haiqing City, so why are there so many dark spots?

Ning Youbei put down the teapot:
"Before you and the emperor suggested that the Dayu Kingdom and the Haiqing Department marry. Since the position of the Tuoye Department is more important, why didn't you suggest marriage with the Tuoye Department?"

Qu Chu took a cup of tea and drank it.

"Here are two reasons:

One is that Hai Lizhu and Hai Dongying have a deep relationship. If Hai Lizhu marries to Dayu Country, Hai Dongying will definitely have some scruples, and the purpose of the marriage will be achieved. "

Qu Chu said unhurriedly:

"In addition, Duolu, the leader of the Tuoye tribe, is not so timid as he is mercenary. He follows wherever there is more profit. Moreover, he has many wives, concubines and children, and he doesn't have any special deep feelings for all the children. Marriage is fundamental. Fall short of purpose.

Since the marriage can't achieve the goal, then we don't need to do anything extra. "

Ning Youbei also picked up a cup of tea and drank it slowly.

"What if Hai Dongying doesn't agree to the marriage?"

Qu Chu has naturally considered this point, she is not in a hurry:
"Of course he would not agree to a simple marriage with Hai Dongying, but if the Dayu Kingdom agreed to support him, provide him with gold, silver and weapons, and promise to support the Haiqing tribe into a tribe that can compete with the Tuotuo tribe, he would agree." of."

"Is there a festival between the Haiqing Department and the Tuo Tuo Department?"

I didn't expect Ning Youbei to be quite sharp!

Qu Chu sized him up without showing any trace, but his expression didn't change much, and his tone was still calm.

"Well, Hai Dongying's grandmother was once snatched by the former leader of the Tuotuo tribe. However, few people know about this matter, even Batu, the current leader of the Tuotuo tribe, may not know it."

Is that so?
Since it was such a secret, how did Qu Chu know about it?Ning Youbei wanted to ask, but he wisely didn't ask.

At the beginning, Qu Chu didn't tell the matter in front of the emperor's brother, which meant that there was something hidden about it.Either the source of the news should not be spoken to others, or the spread of this matter will affect the "friendship" between Dayu Kingdom and Haiqing Department.

Ning Youbei changed the subject.

"You trust Master Su very much?"

"Yingxue? She has helped me a lot. She is also responsible for the army's successful defeat of the Wolf Country in the past few years. It's just that she didn't want to claim credit or get involved with the court, so I didn't report it to the court."

Ning Youbei didn't ask any more questions, he put down the teacup.

"Ah Chu, you and I will soon become a family, can you not be so unfamiliar with me? Just like you get along with Master Su."

Qu Chu didn't even move.

"Your Majesty, don't worry about me.

I know that the prince agrees to marry me because he has no choice but to remain the same after we get married.I will not interfere with the prince, whether the prince wants to marry a side concubine or take a concubine, I will not object. "

Ning Youbei's hand paused for a moment, and then he showed a slightly ambiguous smile: "Ah Chu is so generous? Never thought that I really want to marry you?"

Qu Chu looked directly at Ning Youbei.

"My lord was joking. Dayu has Bingyu, Yingxue, and many soldiers who lived and died together. I will not betray Dayu. As for the power struggle, I have never been interested in it."

Ning Youbei slowly poured a cup of tea for Qu Chu again, "If that's the case, why doesn't Ah Chu want to have a good time with me?"

This time, Qu Chu didn't answer.

She felt that she had expressed what she wanted to say very clearly, if Ning Youbei still pretended to be stupid, it had nothing to do with her.

……

**
After leaving Haiqing City, I arrived at the border after two days of walking.The army led by General Fan was stationed here.

General Fan is the elder brother of Mr. Fan who is in charge of military logistics in Qu Chu's army, and it was Qu Chu who promoted him to his current position.Knowing that King Chu and General Qu had arrived, he led his soldiers to greet them in front of the barracks.

When they saw Qu Chu, all the soldiers shouted loudly: "General".
