Although Han Ziqi took Lin Xiao, Zhang Boxing and others to the debauchery, he kept sending people to keep an eye on the inn. He also knew that Xie Jue and Fang Chuning were out. Han Ziqi thought while drinking, Xie Jue avoided seeing him because he didn't want to talk to him about Sang. What happened to Nan? These second-generation ancestor generals were very tight-lipped. He had been testing for so long without revealing any information. Xie Jue must have explained it, and they did not dare to disobey. Han Ziqi could understand, but Xie Jue was seriously injured and still followed Fang Chuning. Night tour is incredible.

After Han Ziqi clinked glasses with Lin Xiao, he said with a smile, "Your General Fang has a really good relationship with King Yan. He stayed up all night to take care of King Yan when he was seriously injured. This is nothing more than a real brother."

Lin Xiao smiled very sincerely, "General Fang and the prince grew up together. They experienced bloodshed on the battlefield and fought side by side. Naturally, their relationship is closer than ordinary brothers. If Zhang Boxing is seriously injured one day, I will stay up all night to take care of him." ."

Zhang Boxing almost choked on a mouthful of wine. What nonsense are you talking about? When I was seriously injured, you slept deeper than a pig. When did you stay up all night to take care of me?

Han Ziqi also has brothers who have good feelings, and he also has a brother from the same mother. Except for his younger brother, he doesn't have such overflowing feelings.

"Prince Yan hasn't gotten engaged yet. If this peace negotiation can be said to be a marriage between the prince and Sang Nan, it will be a good story!" Han Ziqi suddenly changed the subject.

Lin Xiao was startled, not expecting that he would take advantage of King Yan, so he couldn't help but blurt out, "Your Majesty is the son of Princess Sangnan, how can your royal family marry him?"

Han Ziqi raised his eyebrows, even more unbelievable, "When the late emperor was in power, my father was the unpopular prince of the clan. Although they were from the same clan and were not blood brothers, as far as the princes were concerned, they were considered cousins. You are cousins ​​in Beining." Can't they get married?"

"……no!"

Zhang Boxing said more bluntly, "Even if our prince wants to get married, she is still a noble daughter of Beining. Don't think about it. This is impossible, and the emperor will not agree to it."

"Isn't our Sangnan princess noble enough? Besides, King Yan is not married yet, so maybe there is something unspeakable..." Han Ziqi deliberately provoked them.

"Don't make any insinuations. That's why you have something to hide. Our prince already has a son and a daughter." Zhang Boxing could not let anyone speak ill of Xie Jue.

"Oh, misunderstanding. The unspeakable secret that my prince said may not be the same thing as what you think. This...this is what you said, not me!"

"you!"

Lin Xiao stopped the angry Zhang Boxing and said calmly, "You must have drunk too much."

Zhang Boxing's face turned red with anger and he was extremely unhappy. Looking at Han Ziqi's face that needed a beating, he felt his fists itching and wanted to hit him. He had to silently remember in his heart that he must maintain his grace during negotiations and not use his hands. He must not use his hands. For the sake of wine and beauty, he didn't care about Han Ziqi.

Han Ziqi also thought that Xie Jue was still unmarried. From what they said, there wasn't much emotional entanglement between men and women. If he remained unmoved by all the inducements, a honey trap would be the alternative. He has a sister who is born with a beautiful country and is extremely beautiful. Xie Jue is unmarried but has a son and a daughter. It seems that the relationship between men and women is not as unattractive to women as rumored.

He didn't believe that Xie Jue was unmoved.

It was rare for Xie Jue to be happy, and he was a little tired after eating and drinking. The night market in Shuilan City was gradually getting colder and sparsely populated. Fang Chuning pushed him back, and the shadow guards carried large and small bags. Fang Chuning bought everything Xie Jue needed to eat a few more bites, just in case he had a bad appetite on the way to the capital. The shadow guards all became baggage-carrying boys, and everyone's hands were empty. Xie Jue couldn't laugh or cry.

After walking around, Xie Jue also discovered one thing. The people in Shuilan City were really prosperous, which was completely different from the people in the Twelve Prefectures.

There is plenty of food and clothing, rich clothes, even beggars are rare on the road, the cities under the rule of King Sangnan are relatively prosperous, and the news sent back by Ying Yi has been confirmed. Although the internal fighting in the Sangnan royal family was fierce, it never delayed state affairs.

Fang Chuning said, "I don't deny King Sangnan's ability to govern, but think about it. Sangnan has an advantageous geographical location, fertile land, few natural disasters, good harvests every year, and a wide variety of crops such as cotton, vegetables, fruits, and oils. , they are self-sufficient, have enough food and clothing, and there are no wars. Even a mediocre person on the throne can manage Sangnan well."

Such unique conditions are what the people of the Twelve States dream of.

Xie Jue nodded. They wanted to regain Sangnan because the conditions were too good. Beining needed this rich land. In the final analysis, it was all about plundering resources. If Sangnan was a barren place like the Twelve Prefectures, successive emperors would not have such a strong desire to regain it.

Resources are the core.

The minerals of Beiman and the rich land of Sangnan are all resources!

He slowly pushed Xie Jue back to the post house. The road in Shuilan City was also very flat, without any bumps, and Xie Jue did not feel any discomfort. It was just a coincidence that when they returned to the post house, they met Han Ziqi seeing Lin Xiao off. Zhang Boxing and others also came back, and the two sides collided outside the post house.

Fang Chuning was not embarrassed at all and greeted Han Ziqi gracefully. Han Ziqi didn't expect to meet them. He really didn't mean it.

"Your Majesty's injury has recovered greatly. It seems that he can be on his way tomorrow."

Fang Chuning wanted to rest for another day, but Xie Jue said lightly, "Let's set off tomorrow."

"Okay!" Han Ziqi made the final decision. Fang Chuning didn't know what to say. He just glared at Xie Jue. Han Ziqi looked at Xie Jue sitting in the wheelchair, and then at Xie Jue standing behind him. He always seemed to be protecting Xie Jue, more than a shadow guard. Fang Chuning, who wanted to be a shadow guard, always had a strange feeling in his heart. He couldn't help but joke, "General Fang is really attentive and considerate to the prince. Whoever becomes your wife in the future will be lucky in this life and will be lucky in this life."

"That's natural. My wife must be a blessed person." Fang Chuning's eyes were filled with smiles, and she half-bent down and asked Xie Jue, "My lord, do you think so?"

Xie Jue's face was expressionless and he didn't say anything. Fang Chuning gave the blind man a flirtatious look, but was in a very good mood.

Han Ziqi, "..."

Is your wife so happy after praising you for not being around in the future? Besides, careful and considerate is not a good word for a man, right? What are you proud of?

The more he looked at Fang Chuning and Xie Jue, the more strange the atmosphere felt.

The next day, the delegation left the post house and headed for the capital city of Sangnan under the escort of Han Ziqi. The farther south, the hotter the weather became. They were still wearing thicker spring clothes when they set off from Beijing, but now they have changed into summer clothes. Clothes, these are too hot, hot and stuffy. Xie Jue's injury healed very slowly in the hot weather, so the mission's journey was not fast.

Han Ziqi was observing Xie Jue and Fang Chuning along the way, and couldn't help but ask a close confidant beside him, "Am I being too worried? Why do I feel that... Fang Chuning is flirting with King Yan?"
