The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 162 Bargaining to lure the bait
"This king heard that the emperor is going to choose a martial arts master for the fifth prince recently. He may not only find it from the guards of the imperial forest, but also wants to meet those heroes in the green forest. It just so happens that this king has a Master Sitong under his command, who was originally Guanglu. The Shangbin Sheren of Guan came to this prince's mansion five years ago and became a guest. This king saw that his martial arts are natural and his inner strength is deep, if he teaches the fifth prince himself, it will naturally get twice the result with half the effort."

Xiuyan smiled: "Your Majesty is thoughtful, but we have nothing to do with this matter. We can control who the Emperor decides to employ? But the King, who doesn't know that you hold great power, You are the right-hand man of Long Live Lord, if you come forward, the emperor will be overjoyed."

Shui Rong listened to Xing Xiuyan's words without leaking, and couldn't figure out whether the other party sincerely wanted to accept his suggestion, or didn't want to pay attention to it at all, Shui Rong smiled wryly: "Mr. That's why it's not good to call Wan Sui careless. Now that the princes are gradually growing up, the power in the court is unevenly distributed, and the fifth prince is not as good as others. They were born to follow the emperor. This is the most honorable father and son in the world. In the meantime, how much sincerity can there be? This king has no selfishness at all, and only thinks of His Highness, if Mr. Lu is willing to match the bridge, this king swears here today that he is willing to assist His Highness the Fifth Prince in order to achieve a great cause!"

Jia Baoyu was dumbfounded when he heard what King Beijing said.
"My lord, you" Jia Baoyu pointed at Xing Xiuyan, then at Shui Rong.

Annoyance flashed on Shui Rong's face, but he hurriedly smiled and said: "This king and the fifth prince hit it off right away, and I want to use Mr. Lu to show my sincerity, so Baoyu should not be overwhelmed."

Jia Baoyu can be careless! He has always regarded open and secret fighting in the officialdom as the most despicable deeds in the world. The reason Jia Baoyu got close to the King of Beijing is nothing more than that he thinks that Shui Rong is the contemporary virtuous king, and he never fights with those hypocritical The treacherous and villainous people are in the same boat, but listening to the conversation between the two of them today, Jia Baoyu suddenly felt that the King of Beijing was nothing more than that.

Thinking of this, Baoyu felt a little uncomfortable, and bowed his hands to King Beijing with a sullen face: "The prince is talking about important matters, Baoyu waits outside the door, and dare not disturb the prince." After finishing speaking, he went away without looking back. .Seeing Baoyu's behavior, Shui Rong feels that he has lost all face in front of Xing Xiuyan, and he can't help feeling depressed.

Xiuyan smiled lightly: "Brother Bao's temper is a bit more upright, but it's rare in the world."

Shui Rong had already changed into a polite and generous smiling face: "Mr. Lu just spoke to my heart. It's good that Baoyu is gone, but many of my innermost thoughts are not easy to say in front of outsiders."

Xiuyan secretly scolded "Bastard" in her heart: She felt that this King of Jingjing was a little weird, and it turned out that he was playing with her own ideas.What kind of outsiders and insiders, unknowingly lead their words to evil ways, this kind of obscenity, thanks to the outsiders who call each other a virtuous king, if she is, she will have to be written in four big characters and posted on their Beijing Palace on the gate!
Chicken crowing dog thief generation!

When Xiuyan thought of the hard work of the old princess of Beijing and her daughter-in-law, running around to keep roots for Shui Rong, she felt itchy with hatred. Such a man deserves to have no son.

Shui Rong doesn't know what Xing Xiuyan is thinking in her heart, she just thinks that this girl is shy and cute.

Shy!cute?
If Xiuyan knew that Shui Rong used these two words to describe herself, her hairs would stand on end.

Shui Rong smiled and said, "I'm not going to hide it from Miss Xiuyan!" King Beijing paused, and looked directly with eager eyes: "You don't mind me calling you that!"

Xiuyan's smile gradually calmed down, the corners of her mouth were only slightly raised, but it didn't make people feel the slightest bit of joy: "The Caomin and the prince are just acquaintances, and the prince's name like this makes Caomin feel at a loss."

This is the first time in Shui Rong's life that he was rejected directly by someone. Xing Xiuyan didn't even bother to cover up, which greatly angered King Beijing.King Bei Jing wanted to get mad, but when he took a closer look at Xing Xiuyan's alluring face, he couldn't help but soften a little.

"Mr. Lu and this king are being polite." Shui Rong changed the address in a sly manner, "Among the emperor's princes, the one that this king values ​​most is His Royal Highness the fifth prince. Mr. Lu must have heard about it a long time ago. , the emperor is eager to dispatch troops and generals, although there are many talented people in the court, they all have their own little calculations, but this king is dedicated to the sake of the saint, so... this time the southeast increases troops, the emperor intends to ask this king to take the lead. "

Xiuyan suppressed her restlessness, and said calmly: "The grassroots congratulate the prince for his success!"

"Don't Mr. Lu want to use this opportunity to make the Xing family stand out?" Shui Rong placed the hook carefully, lest Xing Xiuyan would not bite the bait.He also saw clearly that although this girl from the Xing family had a rare and outstanding appearance, in terms of scheming, she was as stunning as her appearance.

Compared with the yellow-faced woman at home, Shui Rong feels the huge gap between the two.

"What does your lord mean?"

"I heard that Master Xing is currently designing a long blade in the Ordnance Institute. It has sharp edges and corners, and is powerful. It can kill people in an instant. It is most suitable for two armies to fight each other. Master Xing is very talented. If I had known Lord Xing has such a genius, why did he suffer for more than ten years in a small place like Wu County? This is also the fault of this king, this king should have promoted Lord Xing as a pillar of the country long ago."

Xiuyan's ears were numb when she heard this, and she hurriedly cut her mouth off: "My lord might as well just tell me what you mean."

Shui Rong slapped the desk table: "Mr. Lu is straightforward, and I am not greedy. As long as Mr. Xing draws another blueprint, which is more miraculous and powerful than the long blades of the Ordnance Institute, I will help the Xing family make a blueprint." matter. The Xing family will not suffer from this transaction."

"My lord wants to use it during the southeast water battle?"

"You can't hide anything from Mr. Lu. It's true. If you want to win, this king will need to be surprised. The southeast naval army is the old admiral's world. This king hastily took over. Not to mention driving out the Fusang Japanese pirates, it will take a while to gather the morale of the army. The king can wait, but the emperor can't wait, and the people in the southeast coast can't wait. There are countless capable people and strange men under the king, but he can't find another Lord Xing! As long as Lord Xing is willing to help, I will do my best to help Escorted by the Fifth Prince."

The more anxious Shui Rong was, the slower he spoke, the clearer he articulated, and the more rigorous his thinking.

Firstly, he was really planning to use Xing Zhong to win over the Fifth Prince, secondly, once Xing Zhong entered his camp, would he still be afraid that Xiuyan would not obediently submit to him?

For a woman, especially a woman he likes, King Bei Jing had to use a little trick.Coupled with the fact that Song Chen, who is unknown to the enemy, is eyeing him, Shui Rong has to be more cautious.

Seeing that Xing Xiuyan was not in a hurry to answer, Shui Rong smiled lightly: "Mr. Lu, why hesitate? If you miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, it will be hard to find again. Others may not have the guts of this king to dare to promise easily. , Ouyang's family is in the dark, Mrs. Xing and the young master have suffered a great loss from Ouyang's family, doesn't Mr. Lu want to take revenge?"

"The grass people don't know what the prince is talking about!"

Shui Rong laughed loudly: "Mr. Lu, why do you need to keep it secret? The Xing family has suffered a lot, and it is not much new news in the capital. I am thinking that there is only one person left who is hiding it now. Your Highness Fifth Prince, right? This king said something blunt, and you swallowed the bitterness in your stomach without letting His Highness know. This is not only for his sake, but also fueled the arrogance of the Ouyang family. A foreigner in the Ouyang family, dare to With such a big deal in the capital, I don’t believe that no one is behind them!”

"Cao Min dared to ask the prince, how are you going to deal with Ouyang's family? Are you not afraid that the people behind will know the prince and regard him as a deadly enemy?"

Xiuyan didn't believe that King Beijing would foolishly get into trouble, she was afraid that the other party would use the name of the Xing family to finally offend the mastermind behind the scenes, and would eventually ask the Xing family to bear the consequences.

Before Zhengde grew up, the Xing family did not have the ability to fight to the death with those women in the harem.Xiuyan didn't want to underestimate the Beijing Palace, but in fact, it is better to count on Song Chen than to count on water solubility.

Thinking of Song Chen who had already left, Xing Xiuyan couldn't help being lost in thought for a moment.

I don't know if this trip to the southeast will be smooth or not. If the rebellion of the navy admiral is true, then Song Chen's trip is just a sheep entering the tiger's mouth. If the rebellion is false, then whose dark force will be waiting for him?

Queen?Or... too emperor?
Or maybe it was written by some prince at all.

Although Beijing Jing Wang Shui Rong is too narcissistic, he has a good saying.The princes are gradually growing up, even if they don't want to get involved in these open and secret battles, what about their relatives?Xiaozong's slow reluctance to establish a reserve has invisibly increased the bargaining chip for the infighting between their brothers.

Zhengde is an outsider among those princes, and is the object of being squeezed out. If she, as a sister, doesn't think of ways, what chance will Zhengde have in the future?
When Shui Rong heard Xiuyan ask him, he smiled unhurriedly and said: "Young Master Lu, do you know why only Beijing Palace and Nan'an County Palace are favored?" Shui Rong said to himself without waiting for Xiuyan's answer. Said to himself: "That's because our Beijing Palace is in the right position in every game. From the former emperor to the Supreme Emperor, to Long Live God, behind them without exception, there is the shadow of Beijing Palace."

Shui Rong got up slowly, walked in front of Xiuyan, and looked at her condescendingly: "It's the same today, I am willing to go through fire and water for the fifth prince, and do my best. I believe that Mr. Lu is also thinking about it. Since everyone is like-minded, why not?" .”

Xiuyan thought for a moment, then stood up and cupped her hands and said, "The prince's words will be taken to heart. The grassroots dare not guarantee that the fifth prince invited the master, but they will explain it in front of His Highness. As for Mr. Xing, it is difficult to think about it. Please don't get me wrong, my lord, it's not that Caomin and Lord Xing don't know how to flatter you, it's really that kind of thing is something you can meet but not ask for, and you can't force it."

Shui Rong's complexion gradually improved a lot: "Even so, Mr. Lu still has to do his best."

Shui Rong didn't fully expect that Xing Xiuyan would take the bait once, it's okay, he went to the southeast this time not only to support, but also to force Xing Xiuyan to take the bait for a major event that Xiaozong told him!
