Chapter 339

When Zhao Yan came to the living room of Prince Xia's Mansion, he heard the sound of silk and bamboo coming from inside, and it seemed that he was drinking and having fun inside.

After scanning the guards at the door, Zhao Yan walked in after a little hesitation.

Just as he had guessed, the room was full of guests, and in the center was a woman in a peach pink gauze dress with a scarf covering her face, leading a group of green dancers to dance enchantingly.

Those dancers wore revealing clothes, their faces were delicate, and their porcelain-white arms were as beautiful as jade-carved lotus joints. Even when they knew that outsiders were coming in, they would not squint at the leader, King Xia, frequently winking.

"Yan'er, are you here? Hurry up, let me introduce you. These are all very famous big families in my Yunzhong area, and they are also my close friends. I also want to call you together today." To let you get acquainted."

As soon as he entered the door, King Xia saw him and introduced Zhao Yan to everyone very happily.

But seeing several people present greeting him one after another, Zhao Yan's eyes flickered for a few times, and then he sat down in the banquet quietly following the guidance of his servants.

The atmosphere of the banquet was pleasant, but no one took the initiative to make friends with Zhao Yan until the end of the banquet.

Seems to have seen something, King Xia deliberately kept Zhao Yan after the dinner.

"Yan'er, now the emperor thinks you are dead, and you are safe for the time being. I wonder what your future plans are?"

King Xia Jun spoke kindly, with a look of concern on his face, Zhao Yan immediately cupped his hands at him: "This time Yan'er was able to get out of the predicament thanks to the power of the emperor's uncle. Uncle Huang can provide me with convenience."

"Yan'er, don't worry, since I have promised your mother, no matter what you do, I will help you."

A hand in hand.

Zhao Yan heard the deep meaning in his words, his heart moved, and he smiled back tentatively: "If I still want to rebel, will Uncle Wang help me?"

There were only the two of them left in the hall, the table was in a mess, and there seemed to be a melodious sound in the air.

As if hearing something funny, Duke Xia suddenly laughed loudly: "Yes, if Yan'er really wants to rebel, I will still help you."

King Xia Jun agreed too readily, and Zhao Yan suddenly had the illusion that the other party was taking his words as a joke, and couldn't judge the truth of the other party's words for a while.

Holding the wine glass on the table in silence for a moment, Zhao Yan suddenly raised his eyes: "Uncle Huang, why do you help me like this? Could it be that there was some kind of deal between you and my mother?"

When the queen was mentioned, Prince Xia's eyes flashed with regret, but he quickly returned to normal: "There is indeed a deal between me and your mother, and I will tell you at the right time. You don't need to know too much now, Just know that no matter what you do, I will help you unconditionally."

Zhao Yan saw the pity in King Xia's eyes, and countless guesses suddenly appeared in his heart.But seeing that he really didn't mean to tell me, his eyes dimmed again.

"Then when is the right time that Uncle Huang said?"

"As long as I think the time is ripe, I will tell you everything."

It seemed that he had known Zhao Yan would ask this question for a long time, Xia Junwang suddenly stood up from his seat, turned around and left after saying this.

"My lord, Duke Xia is clearly demonstrating to you, your lord, and definitely not sincerely helping His Highness. We should take more precautions against him."

In Zhao Yan's room, Huo Yuan's expression suddenly became serious after learning about his conversation with King Xia: "If King Xia really wanted to help the prince, those people at today's banquet would not be so disrespectful to you. .”

Huo Yuan's words undoubtedly touched Zhao Yan's heart.

King Xia held a banquet, saying that he was going to introduce him to the famous local families, but in fact he just asked them to meet briefly.

He didn't mention this matter to him before the banquet, and he didn't show much concern for him during the banquet, so those big family members and dancers didn't take him seriously.

It's not that Zhao Yan likes the dancer, but as a servant of Xiajun Wangfu, the dancer has already found out the identities of everyone at the banquet in advance, and she only needs to see who she deliberately pleases to know who is the most powerful in the hearts of the servants .

However, the dancer didn't look at him the whole time.

If he hadn't known that he needed to be attached to King Xia's power now, Zhao Yan would never have swallowed his popularity and let them underestimate him.

"These famous families have always put their interests first. If they can't see the exact benefits, they will never place a bet lightly. Now this king is suffering from shrimps in the shallow water of Longyou. When I reconvene the old department, I will naturally show it to me." it is good."

Zhao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, and swallowed his unwillingness: "As for the Duke of Xia, I really need to be careful, but so far, he has never done anything against me, so we should be friendly."

Huo Yuan agreed with Zhao Yan's words, but the expression on his face was still not completely relaxed. He walked to the window and carefully checked the movement outside before turning back.

"My lord is very true, but I'm afraid you have overlooked something, my lord. Don't you think it's strange that Duke Xia helped us so unconditionally?"

"You mean..."

Zhao Yan didn't tell Huo Yuan the agreement between the queen and King Xia, thinking that the other party had discovered something, so he sat up straight.

"My lord, I have already inquired about it. King Xia Jun has been stationed here for decades, and he has become a big overlord in the three provinces in the cloud. Both the people and the officials look up to him. Even the emperor can't do anything to him. This time he Do you want to help us like this..."

Huo Yuan deliberately lowered his voice, but he still didn't dare to say the following words, but Zhao Yan's face changed, and he understood his meaning instantly.

King Xia has become the overlord of the Yunzhong region. If he is ambitious enough, his next goal must be to rebel and seize the throne like him.

If they guessed right, then the reason why Duke Xia would help him was because he wanted to use him, other than the agreement he had reached with the queen.

Whether it is using his identity or trying to obtain resources in Beijing through him, it will be an obstacle for him to ascend to the throne...

Zhao Yan stared at the void in front of him and remained silent for a long time.

The room was eerily quiet, and it seemed that someone's heartbeat could be heard.

Huo Yuan saw Zhao Yan's reaction in his eyes, paused for a moment and then said cautiously: "Our current situation is extremely bad, if we can't find strong foreign aid, I'm afraid all we can do is to make wedding dresses for others .”

Zhao Yan was worried, and suddenly heard Huo Yuan talking about foreign aid, he raised his head unconsciously: "What plan do you have?"

"It's not a strategy. I just thought of someone. If he can help us, maybe our situation will be reversed in an instant at a critical moment."

"Tell me who it is?"

Zhao Yan's brows slowly relaxed, and there was a touch of eagerness in his voice.

He thought all over the entire Jin Dynasty, but he couldn't think of anyone who could compare with King Xia, let alone anyone who would be willing to join him in rebellion.

"If you really lead troops to rebel, what does the prince think is the most important thing?"

Huo Yuan didn't directly say who that person was, but instead asked him a question as a test.Then when Zhao Yan frowned, he said again: "I think the army is the most important thing. As long as we can control the army, it doesn't matter whether it's the emperor or the Xiajun king."

Zhao Yan naturally knew the importance of the army, but now that he couldn't even form an army, how could he control the army of the emperor and King Xia?

Just when he thought Huo Yuan was talking nonsense, the other party saw his thoughts and shook his head meaningfully.

"My lord, don't think that I'm joking. According to our ability, we really can't control the army now, but as long as we can convince that person, these things can be easily done."

Huo Yuan swears, and Zhao Yan can't help but wonder with his confident appearance: "Who do you think that person is?"

"It's the emperor of Northern Jiang Kingdom."

"You, what are you talking about! How could the emperor of the Northern Jiang Kingdom help me...you should speak clearly."

Zhao Yan looked at the serious person in front of him with a face full of shock, wondering if he had an auditory hallucination just now, he was about to refute, when suddenly he seemed to remember something, and when he looked at the other person again, he felt a touch of anticipation.

"My lord, I recently received a letter from my sister saying that Duan Muhao, the prince of the University of Beijing, has been crowned the crown prince and will soon succeed to the throne. If we can wait for his help, do you think what I just said is still a joke?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yan suddenly became enlightened.

It's no wonder that Huo Yuan thought of the Emperor of Northern Jiang, how could he have forgotten that Huo Yixuan married Duan Muhao as a concubine princess.

At the beginning, Duan Muhao married Huo Yixuan with the gift of a concubine, which meant that Huo Yixuan was very likely to become the queen of the Northern Border Kingdom.

With Huo Yixuan blowing a pillow in front of Duanmuhao, it seems that it is not impossible to use the power of the emperor of Northern Jiang to help him seize the throne.

As long as Northern Jianguo can send troops when he is about to seize power, it is bound to help him contain part of the troops.He can even win the hearts of the people by repelling the invasion of Northern Jiang Kingdom!
The more Zhao Yan thought about it, the more excited he became, and he looked at Huo Yuan with burning eyes: "Are you sure to convince Duan Muhao?"

Huo Yuan shook his head: "It's not sure yet, but I can send a letter to my sister, ordering her to test Duan Muhao's tone first."

"That's great! You just send the letter to your sister, as long as she can convince Duan Muhao, this king will naturally treat her badly!"

Zhao Yan's voice became more and more eager, and there was an unconcealable joy in it.

The Yunzhong area is bordered by the North Jiang Kingdom, so as long as the North Jiang sends troops, the emperor will definitely send Xia Junwang to fight.

No matter what King Xia thinks of him, he can use this opportunity to eat the power of King Xia.Until then……

It seems that he has seen the scene where he used the power of the Northern Border Kingdom to control the power of King Xia in the palm of his hand, and the smile on the corner of Zhao Yan's mouth became bigger and bigger...
