Prince Yu naturally knew the consequences of Beitang Feng's ability to finally reach Xianyang. He had also understood for a long time that for the people of Chu, Beitang Feng's ability to successfully reach Xianyang would be of great benefit to them without any harm.
Qi Ning said with a smile: "Actually, this matter is beneficial to everyone. I, the State of Chu, really hope to see the Northern Han Dynasty consume itself due to civil strife, but what Prince Yu just said also reminded me that this matter is also beneficial to the prince. . If the prince is really beaten as a traitor by the Northern Han Dynasty, then if the prince wants to return to his homeland, he can only hope that Beitang Feng will finally win the throne."
Prince Yu sighed.
Before Qi Ning came to lobby Prince Yu, he had already been mentally prepared, knowing that Prince Yu would never agree to hand over the World Map so easily.
Although Prince Yu was not reused in the Northern Han Dynasty, he was a royal bloodline of the Northern Han Dynasty after all. Sending the World Map was equivalent to sending tens of thousands of elite soldiers to the Chu State. This was naturally a great threat to the Northern Han Dynasty. Prince Yu naturally did not want to You may easily commit acts of rebellion against your motherland.
Qi Ning never thought that he would be able to get the map of the world today. He just wanted to test out Prince Yu's words first.
He also knew that it was not easy for Prince Yu to hand over the World Map. It would take a lot of effort, and he also had to find Prince Yu's weaknesses as a breakthrough point. To find Prince Yu's weaknesses, he could only find them in Look for clues in conversations with him.
Prince Yu seemed calm and composed in Jiugongchi, but when he mentioned that Beitang Feng went to Xianyang, Prince Yu changed his color, which shows that Prince Yu's mood is not as calm as water. He is still very concerned about the situation outside. , Qining is afraid that he will lose all hope. As long as Prince Yu still pays attention to worldly affairs, he will eventually be able to find conditions to negotiate with him.
At this time, Prince Yu regained his composure, smiled slightly, stared at Qi Ning, and suddenly asked: "I heard that your father is tall, burly and powerful. The appearance of the young marquis does not seem to be similar to your father's."
Qi Ning was startled. He didn't expect that Prince Yu would suddenly talk about appearance. He didn't know what Prince Yu was thinking. He smiled slightly and said, "I am more like my mother."
He has almost the same appearance as the original Jinyi Crown Prince, and the concubine Qi Yu's appearance is also pretty. He has also heard others talk about Qi Jing's appearance and figure. Neither the Jin Yi Crown Prince nor Qi Yu seem to have inherited it. Qi Jing has a good appearance and figure, but Qi Jing started fighting on the battlefield when he was young. He was exposed to wind and sun, and was trained in the military. Even if he had a delicate appearance when he was young, he must be powerful after years of training.
"So that's it." Prince Yu nodded slightly and asked, "Excuse me for being presumptuous, but I wonder what family your father comes from?"
Qi Ning was even more stunned. In fact, he knew very little about Liu Suyi until now. He vaguely remembered that someone mentioned Liu Suyi's background, but he couldn't remember it for a while, but it seemed that he was also from an official family.
It's just that Prince Yu suddenly asked about Liu Suyi's family background, which surprised Qining. He couldn't answer it for a moment, but he looked calm and said with a smile: "Why does the prince ask this?"
Prince Yu smiled and said: "I'm presumptuous, I'm presumptuous, please don't take offense, Lord Marquis." Suddenly he stood up and said: "I read very late last night and didn't sleep well. Little Marquis, please forgive me for not being able to accompany you any longer. I still want to be with you." I need to rest for a while." Without waiting for Qi Ning to speak, he walked directly to the wooden bed in the corner and lay down on it.
Qi Ning knew that this was Prince Yu's expulsion order. Since the other party had nothing to say, there was no use staying by himself. He stood up and said, "Your Highness, have a good rest and come back to visit another day."
Prince Yu ignored him. Qining thought to himself that you were a prisoner of the rank and you were still putting on airs. He didn't bother and went out. After going out, he closed the door behind him and looked up to see Qu Xiaocang on the other side. Waiting, he walked through the stone path on the pool and followed Qu Xiaocang out of the stone forest.
Before the two of them reached the main hall, they saw a figure walking towards them, with light steps and heroic appearance. Qining's eyes lit up, and he could naturally tell that the person was Ximen Zhanying.
Ximen Zhanying was dressed like an official of the Shenhou Mansion. The black clothes wrapped her graceful figure in it. Her heroic demeanor was exquisite and embossed. Qining saw her, and she naturally saw Qining. , for some reason, his face turned red and his steps slowed down slightly.
After returning from Xichuan, Ximen Zhanying thought he would never see Qi Ning again, but he didn't know that Qi Ning knew everything about her in Xiangyang.
"Good morning, Zhan Ying!" When Qi Ning saw Ximen Zhan Ying, the scene of Xiangyang teasing her immediately appeared in his mind. He felt it was extremely interesting and came over with a smile: "We haven't seen each other for a long time. It's really thought-provoking. ...!" Realizing that Qu Xiaocang was beside him, he stopped immediately, but Qu Xiaocang and Ximen Zhanying could naturally hear what he was going to say next.
Qu Xiaocang was calm and composed, pretending that he didn't hear anything. Ximen Zhanying's face turned hot, thinking that you were just taking advantage with your glib words. Why did you ignore the occasion and deliberately say with a cold face: "It turns out to be Jin Yihou, Jin Yihou Why did you come to the Marquis of God's Mansion so early in the morning?"
"You also know that it is early in the morning. If there was nothing important, I would still be lying in bed." Qining said with a smile: "Of course there is something important when I come to Shenhou Mansion."
"A big thing?" Ximen Zhanying blinked his beautiful big eyes: "What big thing can happen to you?"
Qi Ning pretended to be displeased and said: "Zhan Ying, I don't like hearing what you are saying. I will treat you with admiration after three days of separation. Although I used to be idle all day long, I am no longer as busy as before. I am very busy every day. "
Seeing Qi Ning's serious look, Ximen Zhanying was amused and asked Qu Xiaocang, "Second Senior Brother, is he really here to do serious things?"
Qu Xiaocang coughed and said, "Little junior sister, you must not be rude in front of the Marquis."
Ximen Zhanying glanced at Qining. She hadn't seen him for a long time. Today, she saw Qining's careless look. However, she felt very friendly. She was really happy in her heart, but naturally she didn't show it on her face. She said, "Since you We're doing business here, so I won't disturb you." He turned to leave, but Qi Ning had already stopped him and said, "Zhan Ying, wait a minute."
Ximen Zhanying turned around and asked curiously: "Is something wrong?"
"Something's wrong." Qining nodded.
"What's going on?" Ximen Zhanying asked, "Is it a good thing or a bad thing?"
"It's a good thing that I'm looking for you." Qi Ning laughed and said, "Zhan Ying, I want to congratulate you."
"Congratulate me?" Ximen Zhanying looked suspicious and asked in confusion: "Congratulations to me?"
Qi Ning smiled and said: "Zhan Ying, I heard that you are almost 20 years old and have already reached the age of leaving the cabinet. Look at how you usually don't care at all about your life-long events?"
"A life-long event?" Ximen Zhanying was startled, then his face turned red, and he said angrily: "What does this have to do with you? You are nosy like a rat."
"We are friends, so it's not wrong to care about life-long events, right?" Qining shrugged, turned to look at Qu Xiaocang, and said, "Qu Xiaowei, I care about Zhan Ying's life-long events, do you think that's right? "
Qu Xiaocang laughed and said: "Master Hou is right. Master Hou, I remembered that I still have a file to read. It is quite urgent and needs to be dealt with as soon as possible. If Master Hou has no other instructions, I will resign first." "
"Official business is important, official business is important." Qi Ning was worried that Qu Xiaocang could not let go of teasing Ximen Zhanying. Seeing that Qu Xiaocang was very interesting, he immediately said: "Qu Xiaocang will go to business first. Now Just have Zhan Ying with me."
"Who wants to accompany you?" Ximen Zhanying said angrily: "I also have official duties, so I won't accompany you."
When Qi Ning saw Ximen Zhanying twisting his back to leave, he immediately said: "Zhan Ying, I really have something serious to tell you. By the way, have you met my master?"
Ximen Zhanying immediately stopped. Qu Xiaocang, who had already taken two steps, paused when he heard this, glanced at Ximen Zhanying, but left without saying anything.
When Ximen Zhanying saw Qu Xiaocang walking away, she glanced at Qining, her face turned red, and said, "You... what did you say?"
Ximen Zhanying usually has a heroic demeanor and is neat and tidy in doing things. Unlike the boudoir lady, she rarely appears coquettish.
But Qi Ning felt that Ximen Zhanying was now in front of him, and his blushing little daughter was getting more and more emotional. Qi Ning's experience in male and female relationships was at least a few blocks ahead of Ximen Zhanying's. Ximen Zhanying's reaction, he Naturally, you have insight into your heart and know why this is the case.
He was almost certain that this little girl might have had some objections to him earlier, and was even a little disgusted, but now she probably liked her more than disliked her.
The easiest way for humans to deepen their relationship is to share hardships. Regardless of whether a man or a woman goes through hardships together, their hearts will always get closer.
The two of them have been through thick and thin together several times. Qining knows that Ximen Zhanying is a good girl who is upright and kind-hearted at heart. Ximen Zhanying also knows that this little marquis, who usually seems to be carefree, is full of resilience and possesses the ability to deal with setbacks. The responsibility and courage a man should have.
Qi Ning was originally from the army in his previous life, and he actually liked Ximen Zhanying's heroic temperament very much. Ximen Zhanying's temperament, which is strong on the outside and soft on the inside, is indeed very suitable for Qi Ning's taste. From a personal perspective, Ximen Zhanying Marrying yourself as your wife is by no means unacceptable.
"I'm asking if you have ever seen my master?" Qining took two steps closer and said with a smile: "He is the old beggar who looks a bit slovenly, but is wise and has great martial arts skills."
Ximen Zhanying bit his lip, looked around to make sure there was no one there, and then asked in a low voice: "Your master is the leader of the Beggar Clan, do you know?"
"Leader of the Beggar Clan?" Qining asked curiously: "No, when did he become the leader of the Beggar Clan? Why didn't I know?"
When Ximen Zhanying heard what he said, he thought he really didn't know, and said proudly: "Do you think you know everything? You don't even know who your master is. Let me tell you, your master was originally a member of the Beggar Gang. There is a helmsman, his surname is Wei. At the Qingmu Conference, Senior Wei stepped forward, defeated Lu Shanghe, and won the position of leader of the Beggar Clan." He pursed his lips and smiled brightly, and said in a low voice: "You are the leader of the Beggar Clan. You are now a disciple, do you want to have a big banquet to celebrate?"
