Hua Qingxue's hands and feet were tied, making it very inconvenient to move, but even so, she could control her balance and move slowly. She jumped to the table, tried hard to reach for the tea cup, and finally caught it. One, a successful smile suddenly appeared on his face.
At this moment, the cabin above Hua Qingxue's head was full of singing and dancing, and the colors of brocade and chords.
Prince Ning took the seat and Xiao Han took the seat. They toasted to each other and drank the wine in one gulp.
Qi Liancheng came silently behind Xiao Han. Xiao Han put down his wine glass and looked sideways. Qi Liancheng quickly stepped forward and whispered: "Everything is fine, people have been arranged in the room."
Hearing this, the corners of Xiao Han's mouth raised slightly.
"It's rare that the third prince will show his favor today and make this king's ship shine. You must greet my distinguished guests well." Prince Ning ordered with a smile.
The dancers on the dance floor stopped one after another and gathered around Xiao Han to serve him.
"Your Highness, I'd like to offer you a glass of wine."
"Your Highness, I will serve you and eat meat."
Fat, thin, and graceful, these girls are the top girls in Yihongyuan in Jianmen City, and they are very good at greeting and winning over men.
But no matter how they flattered them, Xiao Han's reaction was indifferent. He stretched out his hand and pushed all the girls in front of him out.
"Prince Ning, you don't have to be so polite. This prince... actually doesn't like this." Xiao Han looked at Prince Ning with a teasing and helpless expression.
Prince Ning seemed to be pretending to be confused: "Maybe these colors are too ordinary, it doesn't matter, I will arrange it..."
This old fox...does he want to place people around him
Xiao Han was suspicious in his heart, but he still declined in front of him: "Of course not, it's just that I'm really not interested in women."
"Oh." Prince Ning finally nodded: "It turns out that Brother Xiao is such a clean and self-sufficient person, please forgive me for being rude." After speaking, he drank a glass of wine in one gulp.
"It doesn't matter." Xiao Han said politely and raised his glass to drink.
Seeing that the financial owner had spoken, the group of dancers stopped entangled and obediently stepped aside.
"It's just that Brother Xiao is acting like this, is it because Mrs. Si Bing is protecting her body like a jade?" Prince Ning asked teasingly, a trace of suspicion flashing across his eyes.
Xiao Han naturally did not let go of the change in his expression, but smiled indifferently: "I will not take it to heart if you make Brother Ning Wang laugh at a mere woman."
"Oh, in that case, the third prince really covets the abilities of Mrs. Si Bing, but he doesn't know..." When Prince Ning said this, he suddenly smiled strangely: "As everyone knows, Mrs. Si Bing is just a cover for Fu Tingye to confuse the court's attention. Bar."
Xiao Han pondered for a moment. It was obvious that Prince Ning's words were both a message and a test.
Hua Qingxue was a cover used by Fu Tingye to confuse people's attention. This news was not uncommon. It had been circulated as early as when Xiao Han joined Qi as an envoy.
However, everyone is just guessing and there is no actual evidence.
Even Xiao Han, who had fought against Fu Tingye at the border, fought day and night, and witnessed the step-by-step improvement of Fu Tingye's weapons, would not dare to conclude that these novel changes were made by a woman.
And the woman didn't look very old...she probably had just turned her hair.
"Although that is the case, since Fu Tingye was able to lift her out, it proves that this woman has at least two brushes. In addition, the marriage between the two countries is also a matter of great benefit and no harm. Xiao is willing to do it."
Xiao Han's expression was impeccable, with no flaws visible.
These words neither confirmed Prince Ning's guess nor denied whether Hua Qingxue was Fu Tingye's cover. Prince Ning was even more elusive.
"General! You can't go in!"
Loud noises came in. Prince Ning and Xiao Han looked at each other and both came outside.
From the room, we could just see that the servants were negotiating with Fu Tingye, but Fu Tingye's aura of one man being in charge of all others, which shocked those people, was a bit short.
"How dare you! Even the general dares to intercept him, I don't want to live anymore!" Qin Laowu followed Fu Tingye and shouted loudly.
The one blocking the road in front of them was the butler of Prince Ning's Mansion. He was neither humble nor overbearing. He took out the gold medal given by Prince Ning and said, "General, you may not believe what I say, but you can't disbelieve the gold medal given by Prince Ning, right?"
Fu Tingye frowned lightly and asked someone to take the gold medal over and look at it. Sure enough, it was given by the emperor, and the year number on it was still the reign of the late emperor.
According to Daqi's regulations, princes or those holding imperial gold medals are exempted from inspection.
In this way, this boat... He raised his head slightly and naturally saw Prince Ning standing at the window of one of the houses, looking down at him with a superior smile.
"Prince Ning." Fu Tingye greeted with a faint smile.
"General, it's been a long time." Prince Ning also responded politely: "My men didn't make things difficult for the general, right?"
He asked knowingly, but his tone was showy.
Qin Laowu, who was on the side, had already become angry after hearing these words, but the general in front of him was stable.
"It's okay, it's just routine." Fu Tingye responded calmly.
Prince Ning nodded, and then looked at the people beside him: "Brother Xiao, since the general is here, do you two want to say hello?"
Xiao Han saw Fu Tingye from a distance and didn't want to show up. He never thought that Prince Ning would say this deliberately, so he had no choice but to step forward, but... Prince Ning didn't know anything about Hua Qingxue. He thought he was just protesting with Fu Tingye.
"It turns out that the envoy from Qi is on King Ning's ship. I wonder if there is any other conspiracy between King Ning and Liao?" Fu Tingye sarcastically said.
Xiao Hanben had already walked to the window and was about to change his words of greeting: "The general is really good at joking. I, the prince, have to go back to Qi State for urgent matters and take Prince Ning's passenger ship for a ride. This is not allowed. What?"
After saying that, he and Prince Ning looked at each other and smiled.
Fu Tingye's eyes changed, but he didn't answer. He just stood still and had no intention of leaving.
"By the way, the general's investigation has been so intense recently. Is there some major case in Qi that actually alerted the general to take action personally?" Xiao Han was really good at pretending to be deaf and dumb.
Prince Ning was also led astray by him and asked strangely: "That's right, isn't the general in Shengjing? Why did he suddenly come to Jianmen?"
Fu Tingye looked at the two of them. Needless to say, Xiao Han, but Prince Ning... did he know about it
"Excuse me for bothering you two. Such a trivial matter is of no importance. Since it is Prince Ning's ship, please forgive me for inconvenience." He said, turned around and prepared to leave.
"General!" Qin Laowu and Hai Shixuan both stepped forward. They were extremely anxious. Xiao Han had already appeared, making it clear that Si Bing's wife was on the ship. If they didn't search the ship, bad things would happen.
A dark light flashed across Fu Tingye's eyebrows, and he winked at the two of them.
Qin Laowu and Hai Shixuan were both startled, but the next moment they understood.
Immediately afterwards, Haishixuan knelt down with a bang: "General, we have witnesses who saw the craftsman hiding it on the ship. We have to search it!"
"Yes, general!" Qin Laowu also knelt down and begged for his orders: "Now is the most sensitive time for Qi State, those Liao Kingdom. Nanzhao and other thieves should keep their eyes open. If those who are careful to serve as generals are allowed to If the secrets are taken out, Qi will be in doom!"
The two requests for life were more affectionate than the other, and the reasons were more solid than the other.
Fu Tingye looked embarrassed: "But..."
While talking, he turned his eyes to Prince Ning and said, "Prince Ning, what do you think we should do about this?"
"Someone actually sneaked into the ship?" Prince Ning was really shocked. He immediately glared at Xiao Han. He remembered that the butler had told him after he came back from the warehouse that Xiao Han had brought a personal item with him.
Could it be that...he really is hiding someone
"Brother Prince Ning, please don't be deceived by the general. He just found a reason to board the ship and kill your majesty."
Xiao Han approached King Ning and explained in a low voice, which made King Ning waver a little.
"I think it's better to forget it. It's not easy for Prince Ning. Let's report this matter to the court truthfully. I believe that the Queen Mother and the Left Prime Minister will be able to investigate thoroughly and give Prince Ning justice." Fu Tingye's seemingly unintentional words, but Prince Ning was given a big hat.
Prince Ning is not guilty, so what does it mean to give him justice
"No! It's a big deal for someone to infiltrate our country. I am the prince of Qi, so I must lead by example. Fu Tingye, I'm not afraid of you searching. You can bring someone up to search!" Prince Ning agreed proudly.
"Isn't this inconvenient..." Fu Tingye still wanted to be polite, showing off his face.
The corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a proud smile. It seemed that Prince Ning was indeed unaware of this.
"By the way, you guys have brought up a box. Can you tell me whether it was carefully crafted?" Prince Ning approached Xiao Han and asked in a low voice.
Xiao Han was anxious, but couldn't show it: "Of course not, that's..."
"What is it?" Seeing his hesitation, Prince Ning suddenly became angry: "You kid really tricked me?!"
"That's not true, it's my... a beauty." Xiao Han was ashamed and looked guilty.
It turns out that this kid has such a skill. He was still calm in front of the beauty he arranged just now. He is indeed a fox.
Pretending to be awesome!
Prince Ning cursed Xiao Han in his heart, but it didn't matter if a beauty came here, so he patted him on the shoulder: "In that case, I'm relieved."
After talking to Xiao Han, Prince Ning said to Fu Tingye: "General, you can search my ship if you want, but I like to speak ill of others. If you can't find anything, then I will definitely search my ship for today." I'll give you a copy of the memorial. When the time comes, don't blame me for being merciless?"
When Li Jingnan sneaked out of Qi, King Ning led his troops to force the palace... The only thing missing was broken by Fu Tingye's return with Li Jingnan. King Ning still wants to catch Fu Tingye's mistakes and overpower him.
Therefore, such a good opportunity must be used.
If the general searched the prince's ship without finding any excuses, it would be tantamount to contempt for the royal majesty. Presumably the old witch Queen Mother would be happy to take the opportunity to attack and seize the military power.
If Fu Tingye is deprived of his military power, wouldn't it be like a tiger with its teeth pulled out... then... haha.
Prince Ning's wishful thinking has been realized for several years, and he seems to have begun to feel complacent.
