Lord and leave

Chapter 136

Seeing Xia Ze leave, Chu Hengqing showed a smile, "This Chu Liyue is really interesting, but I don't know if the people behind the scenes are like that."

Of course Zhu Bingling knew that her power was already being taken into consideration by others, but what she didn't know was that she had hidden it so well that it was still seen by others, but those who knew her knew that she didn't care about it at all. Or don't take it to heart at all.

Even if she hid her identity as the person behind Shuiyunjian, she didn't do it intentionally. If Chu Hengqing knew that she did it because she was too lazy, I don't know how she would feel.

It's a pity that the two of them don't know each other now, and they are both following their own ideas.

And Zhu Bingling's intelligence network is now very complete, even the royal family can spy a little bit, so when the prince sent someone to test, he immediately understood that he had taken a fancy to her power, but she didn't know Hengqing knew too well about the prince, so he didn't know that he had already thought about Chu Liyue that he shouldn't have.

"Sister, this prince is not as stupid as the rumors outside. He actually found out about us so quickly, and even invited an official who had worked with us to test him out. Are you really not going to give him a chance?" Chu Liyue Of course, considering the development of Shuiyunjian, although the crown prince is not the most powerful now, he has a reputation of orthodox, if we can cooperate with him, it will be less difficult.

"We can give it a try. After all, we can sell it for a price now. It depends on who can afford the highest price." Zhu Bingling didn't take it seriously when she heard it. It's not the time to make a decision, so she doesn't really urgent.

"Since my sister thinks it is okay, I will contact him. It is best to meet all these princes. Although our information is accurate, it is not as real as what we see with our own eyes. If we can see it with our own eyes, then choose It's much easier." Chu Liyue sighed, but she suddenly felt that she had really changed now, if she didn't know Zhu Bingling three years ago, she was just a young lady with quite a business talent in the Chu family .

No matter how much he dared to think about it, he only thought about making the Chu family's business bigger, but he never thought about standing at such a height. Not only the business has spread all over the country, but even the prince can choose him.

"Think of them as big radishes, and take a look before you choose." Zhu Bingling couldn't help laughing, "But don't expect too much, although these princes are all dragons and phoenixes, since we It can be seen from the information that even the best Chu Hengqing is nothing more than that, but he is better at reincarnation than ordinary people."

Zhu Bingling really didn't have any expectations for these princes. To her, those people were just stepping stones for her to become stronger, but she didn't know that in her future life, these people who didn't take it seriously would have great feelings for her. What an impact it had.

The prince's people moved very quickly. Although a third-rank official is just a dog in the prince's eyes, he is also arrogant when facing outsiders, but at this time he put down his posture and talked with Chu Liyue about making peace, which looked abnormal urgent.

"Miss Chu, I am here to represent the meaning of the crown prince, and I come to see you very sincerely." The official looked at Chu Liyue, even though his figure was lowered, he still unconsciously brought some disdain, maybe these officials He himself looked down on Chu Liyue, who came from a merchant's family.

"Master Zhang, you are welcome. I believe you must have investigated Shuiyunjian before you came here. We have not had any backing these years, but we have been doing well and getting bigger and bigger, so I think we are not in such a hurry. Who do you need to cooperate with?" It was obviously impossible for Chu Liyue to agree immediately.

After hearing her words, Mr. Zhang couldn't help but feel cold, but he seemed to have thought of something, and he forcibly endured it back, "Miss Chu, don't be too ignorant of the real thing, you didn't have a backer before, it was outside, but now here It's the capital city, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, you know how many people there are, and how much power you have. You think you are very powerful, but in their eyes, it's really easy to settle you down.

Now the prince is willing to help you, it is for your face, as long as you agree, from now on you can be said to be the prince's person to the outside world, who would dare to make trouble with the prince in this capital.It turns out that this is what Mr. Zhang said about cooperation, it just made me submit to the prince, and I, Shuiyunjian, was also called the prince? "Zhu Bingling couldn't help but lose a little of the smile on his face when he heard that.

"You can't say that. Who is the crown prince? The future king of Chu, the future monarch, the entire Chu country will belong to him, and he will care about your small business?" Mr. Zhang was not angry when he heard this, but instead Smiling and looking at her, "It's your blessing that the crown prince has taken a fancy to you now. Others would not be able to look forward to this opportunity."

Chu Liyue sneered, but changed the subject, "Master Zhang, I'm a businessman, and it's not the first time I've done business with others, so it's not impossible to cooperate with the prince, but I always have to know What good can I get?"

Mr. Zhang was not surprised when he heard that, and said with a smile, "So there is really a woman as bold as you in the world, no wonder the crown prince looks at you differently."

After hearing this, Chu Liyue couldn't help frowning, but she didn't show anything, and lowered her head to drink tea.

"Well, the prince said that as long as you and all the forces behind you are used by him, and you can also use the power of the prince to make the current Shuiyunjian bigger, not only that, your secret forces can also gain If you admit it to the public, the crown prince will give them high officials and generous salary." Master Zhang throws out these sweet things, but he doesn't believe that Chu Liyue won't take the bait, and then said, "With the crown prince's care, no matter whether it is in the states or in the capital, there will be no more Some people dare to play your mind."

Chu Liyue laughed when she heard it. He said what he said but he didn't say it. It seems that the other party didn't have much sincerity. In this case, he didn't get any benefits at all. It's really a beautiful idea.

But at this time, I can't turn against them. After all, I look good in the capital, but I haven't gained a firm foothold. If they want to make things difficult for themselves, there are many ways to do it, so it is not appropriate to confront them head-on now.

"Master Zhang also knows that Shuiyunjian is not my own, and I am just a shopkeeper. If I want to make any decision, I have to discuss it with them." Chu Liyue said with a smile.

Mr. Zhang heard her perfunctory intentions, so his face turned cold, "Miss Chu, do you know that this opportunity is something no one else can ask for."

"They didn't say they disagreed, but we just need to discuss it. After all, I can't make the decision." Chu Liyue still smiled lightly.

But this coquettish tone was quite useful to Mr. Zhang's ears. After thinking about it for a while, he also said, "There is nothing wrong with me, but you also know that the crown prince is behind me, and he is waiting for my reply." , you have to give me a time limit, right?"

"Then limit it to one week." Zhu Bingling said without hesitation, because she believed that within a week, Zhu Bingling would be able to figure out a solution.

"Okay, that's one week." Master Zhang immediately laughed and agreed, obviously thinking that Chu Liyue would not refuse.

After Mr. Zhang was sent away, Chu Liyue didn't dare to stay, and immediately found Zhu Bingling and told her the content of the conversation.

Zhu Bingling smiled disdainfully after hearing this, "It seems that the prince's name is not for nothing."

"You mean he didn't like us at all?" Chu Liyue asked in surprise.

"No, he's taken a fancy to, not only Shuiyunjian, but also you." Zhu Bingling said affirmatively.

Chu Liyue's face changed when she heard this, "Sister, you mean the prince still wants to plot against me?"

"He really has a good idea. On the one hand, he can take our influence as his own, provide him with money, and do some shady things for him. On the other hand, he can still embrace the beauty. He thinks We don't have any backing, as long as he, a prince, shows us that he wants to take it for himself, then we will definitely not object, so I call him an idiot." Zhu Bingling said coldly.

"Yeah, although we don't have a backer, why doesn't he think about why we have grown so big without a backer, and there must be some of his officials among the officials we dealt with before, how could he die to his own people? I don't care." When Zhu Lijing and Zhu Bingling mentioned this, he also figured it out, thinking about the previous conversation, that Master Zhang really revealed this meaning, and they immediately felt disgusted.

"It seems that this prince really can't be counted on. Although the idiot is easy to control, the current situation is like this. If you control a idiot, you will cause trouble for yourself. I hate trouble the most." Zhu Bingling shook his head and said.

"What do you think, sister? Our people have received news that besides the fourth prince, the other two princes are also interested in us. Although the seventh prince is not as prestigious as Chu Hengqing, he is more talented. I also have a certain influence." Chu Liyue thought for a while and couldn't help but mention it.

"Xiaoyue, it's good to be talented, but it's not good to be too talented. The Seventh Prince maintains his aloofness and always thinks that his talent is buried. This kind of person is the worst person." Zhu Bingling shook his head, " By the way, why didn't you mention the third prince, his military achievements are not inferior to the fourth prince's."

"Just a foolish fool." Chu Liyue said disdainfully.

Zhu Bingling smiled after hearing this, "It seems that there is only the fourth prince."

"But he hasn't heard anything about it yet, it seems like we don't exist, do you think he doesn't like us?" Chu Liyue said worriedly.

"It is precisely because of his performance that it proves that he attaches more importance to us. Do you think he will not be able to find out how powerful we are now? He is an ambitious person, and he will sit back and watch such a powerful force as his enemy. Do you use it?" Zhu Bingling looked at Chu Liyue with a smile and waved her hand, but she was not worried about it.

"Then he is waiting?" Chu Liyue also understood, and was a little curious about this Chu Hengqing.

"Yes, he is waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity that will allow us to be used by him in a legitimate way." Zhu Bingling said affirmatively, "Maybe he will create this opportunity himself, and it is more likely that he is waiting for the prince to do it. "

"It's so old-fashioned, you want to be a hero to save the beauty." Chu Liyue couldn't help feeling a little disappointed after hearing this.

"The older the trick, the more effective it is, and don't forget, you are in charge now. If a hero saves the beauty, it is also saving you." As he spoke, he couldn't help thinking of something, and looked at Chu Liyue, "I'm listening Speaking of which, Chu Hengqing is quite handsome, maybe you can have a love at first sight."

"I don't want it. What's the use of being handsome? With so many wives, if you really marry him, you will still remember who I am." Chu Liyue shook her head and said as soon as she heard that, as if thinking of that possibility, she hit her straight. a shudder.

Seeing this, Zhu Bingling smiled helplessly. It seemed that everyone around her had been assimilated by him. Chu Liyue would have decided not to say such a thing three years ago.
