Dressed as the regent's palm

Chapter 279 or 270 Chapter Nine: Tit for Tat.

Qingyuan and Mingyue who stood aside looked at each other, exchanging the look in each other's eyes.

Qing Yuan said with a little worry: "Tell me, has the princess been a vegetarian for too long, and she is a little dazed?"

Mingyue also replied worriedly: "I don't know... Maybe."

And when the two were very worried, Qingyange's clear voice called out loudly: "Why are you two standing there? Come over and eat!"

Qingyuan and Mingyue moved in a bit of embarrassment, as if facing Ling Chi's pain, they approached Qingyange step by step.

"Mingyue, this iron plate doesn't look very reliable, I don't know if it's cooked or not..." Qing Yuan frowned.

"I think so too." Mingyue nodded in response.

Qingyange's urging voice sounded again: "Hurry up, you won't be able to eat the delicious food after a while!"

Qingyuan and Mingyue had no choice but to quicken their pace.

A quarter of an hour later.

Surrounded by four people in front of the iron plate.

Qingyuan: "Wow! Princess, how did you manage to roast vegetables to taste like meat!"

"Yeah, it's so delicious princess!" Mingyue echoed, her eyes sparkling.

"Eat slowly, you two, don't try to grab my food!" The Queen of Nanzhao Kingdom kept stuffing food into her mouth, and shouted loudly.

Qingyan Song: "Eat slowly, I haven't finished roasting yet, after I finish eating these, I'll use this to make teppanyaki balls later~"

The Queen of Nanzhao's eyes lit up, "What is that?"

Qingyuan: "It sounds delicious."

Mingyue: "The princess has worked hard, continue to bake for us~"

……

study.

Jiu Que looked at Xi Fan, who was sitting on the side twirling his hair with a nonchalant expression, and asked aloud, "Tell me, how many troops do you plan to send?"

Xifan pondered for a moment, then slightly parted his thin lips like rose petals, "How about sending out a thousand elite soldiers?"

With a cold face, Jiu Que stared at Xi Fan with a half-smile, his pupils raised, "I'm afraid that a thousand elite soldiers will flee before going to the battlefield. You Nanzhao Kingdom has no sincerity."

Xifan touched his pretty face, with a full smile, "Oh, although the emperor promised to send troops to help you Tiancang, but you also know that this battle is not as good as ours in Nanzhao. , It is the utmost benevolence and righteousness to be able to send out a thousand elite soldiers."

Jiu Que got up slowly, and he walked slowly towards Xi Fan.

His long black hair and black robe fluttered in the air, and his delicate face was as deep as water, and he finally stood in front of Xifan.

He stretched out his arms, clasped them firmly on both sides of Xifan's chair, and leaned forward.

Xi Fan watched this pretty face gradually approaching, but he still didn't change his face, and the corner of his mouth slightly curled up, "What's wrong? Could it be that the Regent has taken a fancy to me?"

Jiu Que's thin lips were close to Xi Fan's ear, and he whispered softly in his ear: "Xi Fan, even if you don't send troops to support my Tiancang, it will be a matter of time before my Tiancang forces Dayong to retreat. How about taking your Nanzhao capital by the way after Dayong is forced to retreat?"

Xifan's complexion changed, but he still pretended to be happy, and the corners of his mouth curled up: "You should know that I, Nanzhao Kingdom, are not easy to mess with. The big deal is that the fish will die and the net will be broken, that's great."

Xifan looked like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water.

There was a stream of light in Jiu Que's eyes, and the long eyelashes curled down, "So, you are really stupid."

"Oh? The regent couldn't persuade me and started attacking me personally?" Xi Fan raised his eyebrows and asked, with a hint of anger on his face.

Jiu Que sneered: "The rivers and mussels compete for the fisherman's profit, Nanzhao Kingdom and Tiancang fight to the death, and Dayong turns around and kills us all in one fell swoop. This is a situation that has rarely been maintained for hundreds of years. If it is ruined, we will all be fish on Dayong's chopping board and let him slaughter us."

Jiu Que paused for a moment, and then he continued: "What's more, Tiancang and Nanzhao Kingdom are relatively close, so we should work together to push Dayong back. If there are minor disputes and frictions, then we can settle them privately. Why bother blocking your Nanzhao Kingdom?" What about the fate of the imperial edict?"

After hearing what Jiu Que said, Xi Fan's eyes flickered, and he pursed his lips but did not express his opinion.

"You should know that Dayong's ambition is to rule the world, right? According to Linyuan's temperament, he will not be merciful. When the soldiers come to the city, the king of subjugation may be beheaded by his traitors to claim credit before he surrenders. When the time comes , do you think you can still protect her?" Jiu Que's analysis of each word was extremely pertinent.

After hearing these words, Xi Fan's heart trembled.

After a long time, Xifan closed his eyes, and finally responded: "Okay, how much do you think we need to send troops from Nanzhao Kingdom?"

"20." Jiu Que said lightly, with his thin lips slightly lifted.

When Xifan heard this, his eyes widened, and he raised his voice: "Do you know what 20 elite soldiers mean? You should know that our Nanzhao Kingdom is not a country with heavy soldiers. We can become a big country because the people are rich and the people live and work in peace and contentment." , so our military strength is not as many as you imagined."

Jiu Que nodded, the corners of his mouth curved, "I know, 20 elite soldiers are all the troops that your Nanzhao Kingdom can mobilize."

"Then you still want me to help your Tiancang with the power of the whole country?" Xifan said with a grim expression, and he was a little displeased.

"Helping others is helping yourself. Do you know why Dayong first aligned the contradictions with Tiancang?" The smile on the corner of Jiu Que's mouth continued to expand.

Xi Fan replied: "Isn't it because of love and hatred for Qingyange, and you can't ask for it, so you attack Tiancang?"

Jiu Que shook his head lightly, as if Hei Yao's eyes were gloomy, "No, it's because Tiancang is more difficult to conquer than your Nanzhao, Linyuan borrowed your Nanzhao's power to take my Tiancang first. After destroying the country, the spearhead will be pointed at you, you have never heard of the principle of death of lips and teeth, right?"

Xifan's eyes flickered, and finally let out a long breath, and he said weakly, "Okay, then 20."

"Thank you." Jiu Que smiled with satisfaction.

He stood up and flicked the wrinkles on his body, smiling like a spring breeze, "Do you want to have dinner together tonight?"

Sivana's extremely beautifully trimmed eyebrows slightly frowned, and said with some displeasure: "I don't want to have dinner with you."

After saying that, Xifan also stood up calmly, and walked towards the door with strides.

Jiu Que's voice sounded behind him, "You don't want to have dinner with your empress, do you?"

Xi Fan glanced back at Jiu Que, and said coldly, "Don't worry about it."

"I think at this point in time, your empress should eat with Qing Yange." Jiu Que's thin lips parted slightly.

Xifan pretended not to hear, and stepped over the threshold with one foot.

Unexpectedly, a person came head-on.

Xi Fan had never seen this person before, so he was very unfamiliar.

"Prince Regent." The man quickly stepped into the study room and bowed to Jiu Que.

"What's the matter?" Jiu Que asked.

"The princess and the queen have both gone out." The man replied respectfully.

"What are you doing out there? Didn't I tell you to stay with Qingyange at all times? Yao." Jiu Que said in a bad tone.

"They said they wanted to go out for a walk, and the subordinates felt it was inappropriate, so they came to report." The man called Yao replied.
