Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 837 Cooperation becomes a business

Li Yiwei reacted immediately - the cooperation he wanted had turned into a business the moment he compromised.

Shameless - this is Li Yiwei's latest impression of Ji Wuyan. We already have a relationship of "either you die or I die", but you want to call it a "misunderstanding" calmly. What kind of misunderstanding is worthy of Li Yuqi sending his men and buying assassins to assassinate you again and again? Could it be that he really doesn't know the relationship between the two because he can't explain it clearly?
However, he was annoyed by her attitude of always looking out for him and said the wrong thing, turning the cooperation into a business.

Cooperation is mutually beneficial and mutually beneficial, and there is no saying that anyone owes anyone after the fact, but the transaction requires money and goods. Ji Wuyan helps him deal with the prince, and he naturally has to show his sincerity and agree to the other party's promise. condition.

The sun shines in from outside the house, leaving a clear dividing line inside the house. Outside the dividing line, the sun is warm and soft, and within the dividing line, the cool breeze slowly crackles the charcoal fire.

The difference is clear.

Li Yiwei noticed that this is the main hall where the Ji family entertains guests. It is rarely used on weekdays. If the door is closed for a long time, it is always colder than elsewhere. At that time, I was surprised that Ji Wuyan could still give him such treatment. At this moment, when he looked at the girl with a sly look in her eyes, like a weasel who had caught a chicken, she somewhat came back to her senses - maybe in the beginning, Ji Wuyan No salt is planned.

She used an almost ceremonious hospitality method to elevate the other person to a distinguished position, just like her initial visit to him, maybe it was just a bait thrown in advance for fishing.

He is indeed a businessman.

However, Ji Wuyan was right in what he said. Behind Li Yuqi was Bian Dongchuan who had remained silent until now. If he had no breakthrough in this matter, Li Yuqi's coming out of the East Palace would be nothing more than a memorial from Bian Dongchuan. I... can't afford it.

At this point, whether it was cooperation or business, he wanted to bring Ji Wuyan to his side.

Naturally, he sent someone to investigate Ji Wuyan.

Although the information is not exhaustive, I can guess a few things. Judging from the timing of Ji Wuyan's arrival in Yanjing City, his subsequent actions, the inexplicably tense relationship with the East Palace, and the situation reported by his spy in the Bai family Ji Wuyan's ultimate purpose in coming to Yanjing City must be the fire in Chongren Palace and the person who died in the fire.

But I was also wondering, why was a little girl here? Why is there only one little girl? Is the Shangguan family so confident in leaving such a matter to a little girl? Don't they know that if something happens to this girl here, the entire Shangguan family will be buried with her... They should know that.

But the person who came over was still just a little girl - just for this reason, people had to be afraid.

It is also coveted. He looked at Ji Wuyan, his eyes calm and gentle, "The girl must have a plan in mind, just say it. If I can do it, I will agree to the girl... If I can't do it, then there is really nothing I can do." However, the girl must also know that if it is something that I cannot do, even if it is someone else, it is probably impossible to do it. "The implication is that if it is something that I cannot do, it will be someone else. The same is not possible.

The implication was not too subtle, and Ji Wuyan understood it clearly.

She didn't intend to make any excessive demands, so she just nodded gently, "My little girl understands. Otherwise, she would not risk such a serious crime of killing nine tribes and cooperate with the prince. The Ji family is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, and the daughter of the people is nothing important. I don’t want anything at all. When His Highness the Prince asked, the girl said casually. Thinking about it, it won’t embarrass you. "

The bait had been thrown out in advance, and this condition was naturally the result of careful consideration. But now that he was saying this, Li Yiwei really couldn't believe a word of it. His voice was low, "Girl, please tell me."

In the shadow where the sun did not reach, Ji Wuyan relaxed his shoulders where he was sitting upright, leaned back on the chair, and then looked at Li Yiwei. He smiled calmly and spoke softly, "Since it is a condition, it is natural that things become the prerequisite... My little girl has two conditions. . First, when the world is in the hands of the prince, is it not too much for my daughter to wish for a smooth and worry-free century for the Duke of Ning?"

The Duke's Mansion has reached its peak. Although the intention is now slowly coming to fruition, it will still take a long time. What's more, the time when the throne changes is the most dangerous time. When the new emperor takes office, the first one to bear the brunt is the behemoth "not of my kind" like the Duke's Palace. As soon as Ji Wuyan opened his mouth, he asked for a death-free gold medal from the Duke's Mansion that would last for a hundred years.

The little girl hit seven inches as soon as she opened her mouth! Li Yiwei pondered for a moment, and finally nodded, "As long as the Duke's government does not commit any rebellion, I will support you."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Ji Wuyan stood up and thanked him before sitting down. The smile in his eyes was obviously more sincere, and he added, "The second condition is not a condition at all, it is just a suggestion. After all, this This matter is related to the Li family and is closely related to His Highness. I think even if the civilian daughter doesn’t mention it, His Highness still has this intention.”

Since this girl is very good at getting people in around the corner, Li Yiwei didn't agree and just continued, "Girl, please tell me." People always learn from mistakes, right?

This time, Ji Wuyan really didn't mean it. She was just being polite. After hearing the words, she said bluntly, "That's it. Young Master Chen was injured by a civilian girl. He didn't know it would be so serious at the time... Now that I think about it, I feel sorry for Princess You about this, so I would like to ask Your Highness to issue an edict in the future to dissolve the marriage. In this way, the daughter of the people can still feel at ease. "Since I have promised You Feng, I must do it. I plan to use the emperor's help to break off the engagement. Now that the emperor's illness is a bit more difficult, the man in front of me is a better candidate.

Since Imperial Physician Qin said that the emperor's time was short and he would not be able to survive You Lingxi's wedding, he would have more than enough time to stop the Chen family.

This matter is indeed not difficult, and it can also give the eldest princess's house some face. Li Yiwei thought for a moment and then readily agreed, "Just agree to it, girl."

Ji Wuyan stood up and bowed again, "In this way, the women of the people will do their best to help His Highness in whatever he plans." After saying that, he sat down and raised his head, neither humble nor arrogant.

He has always been like this, gentle and proud. It was as if the main hall was opened to entertain guests, but Li Yiwei, the king of the county, was in the lower position. Instead, she, Ji Wuyan, sat in the main seat as a matter of course, as if to say that this was her place and it should be like this.
