The ex-husband doted on his concubine and killed his wife!The princess turned around and remarried t

The good reception yesterday was not in vain. The Cao family's true intentions may not be revealed to her until today!

After tidying up for a while, Qin Shuhuang was led by servants of the Cao family to the large study room in the front yard.

When I entered the big study, I found that Liu Renren had arrived first, and Xie Xuanye was standing behind Liu Renren.

When Cao Jian saw Qin Shuhuang coming, he stood up and saluted Qin Shuhuang enthusiastically, and then everyone sat down.

When Qin Shuhuang arrived, Xie Xuanye naturally stood behind Qin Shuhuang.

Liu Renren got straight to the point, "I wonder why General Cao invited us here?"

Cao Jian waved his hand, and all the maids and slaves serving in the room left the room. Only Cao Zhiyuan and an ordinary-looking old servant were left behind him.

Cao Jian smiled and did not answer Liu Renren's words, but said: "Cao just received the news this morning that General Liu and his people have arrived near Xiagong City. I am afraid that they will be able to reach Xiagong City tonight without tomorrow."

Liu Renren's gray eyebrows wrinkled, "What does General Cao mean?"

Cao Jian took out a letter from the wooden box on the desk and handed it to the old servant beside him. The old servant held the letter and walked up to Qin Shuhuang. He gave the letter to Qin Shuhuang and said, "Your Highness, the eldest princess, please take a look." .”

Qin Shuhuang took the letter and saw the sender on the letter at a glance.

It's the Regent!

She turned her head and glanced at Cao Jian. Cao Jian smiled and stroked his short beard.

Qin Shuhuang opened the letter and read its contents.

The regent personally wrote to Cao Jian, asking him to cooperate with General Liu to kill Qin Shuhuang in Xia Gongcheng and Beidi. As long as Qin Shuhuang could be killed, he would bear all the consequences.

At the end of the letter was the Regent's personal seal, which was definitely the Regent's own handwriting.

Qin Shuhuang read the letter and handed it to Liu Renren who was sitting next to him.

Qin Shuhuang's eyes fell on Cao Jian's face, "General Cao showed this letter to me. What does it mean?"

"It is said that Your Highness is different from ordinary women. Cao didn't realize it before. After the contact from yesterday to today, Cao has to admit that Your Highness is brave and intelligent! Cao is a person of the Regent. It is said that after Cao received the letter from the Regent, , what I should have done yesterday was to assassinate His Highness. But Cao didn’t do it, and he didn’t want to do it. If Your Highness is willing, Cao can even send someone to protect His Highness from General Liu’s assassination!”

Qin Shuhuang didn't show any different expression on his face because of Cao Jian's words.

After two lives, Qin Shuhuang knows that there is no free lunch in the world. Everything has a price clearly marked from the beginning. If you don't need to pay it back now, you will need to pay it back in the future.

Qin Shuhuang's calmness made Cao Jian look at her again.

It seems that what he inquired about is correct. It is not that the regent sent the eldest princess to Beidi to discuss trade matters, but that the regent was coerced by the eldest princess and had to do this!

Without the Minister of Revenue, the regent's control over Dawu has been slowly shaken!
"Your conditions!" Qin Shuhuang said simply.

"Okay! Your Highness, the eldest princess, have fun!" Cao Jian laughed.

After laughing, Cao Jian continued: "Actually, our Cao family doesn't ask for much. We only hope that after the trade route between Dawu and Beidi is unblocked, our Cao family will manage Xiagong City on behalf of the imperial court."

As soon as Cao Jian said these words, the fox tail of the Cao family was finally fully exposed.

Just the sporadic black market allowed the Cao family to make a lot of money.

They saw huge benefits from the trade between the two countries, so they came out to fight for it.

If there were formal channels for trade between the two countries, the income would be countless times what it is now!
The Cao family doesn't ask for much, and they don't worry about eating too much and dying from it!
Liu Renren frowned even more when he heard Cao Jian's words.

There was a sarcastic smile on Qin Shuhuang's lips. Did the Cao family really think of her as a fool?
She did not reply to Cao Jian's words and looked away, as if she refused to talk to Cao Jian again.

The smile on Cao Jian's face gradually became unbearable. He clenched his fists and said, "Your Highness really thinks that I, Cao, am not strong enough? Let Your Highness disappear quietly in Xia Gong City. Even without General Liu, Cao can do it."

At this time, Qin Shuhuang's lips showed a slight smile, "General Cao really thinks that there are only so many people in the envoy team? There is no one except me and Mr. Liu? Do you really think that the Xu family is just a bunch of people? I will let you stay." I am in the Cao family? Even if you kill me today, someone will still be responsible for Beidi's trade! When the time comes, I disappear in your Cao family, and you will have no chance to negotiate any terms!" Qin! Shuhuang's words instantly turned Cao Jian's face pale.

This time is related to the rise and fall of the Cao family, so we must not be hasty.

After being dormant for so long and planning in Xiagong City for so long, we cannot lose everything just because one negotiation failed to reach an agreement.

By then, not only will the Cao family not be able to get the benefits they want, but they are also afraid that they will be dealt with by the regent!
Cao Jian smiled and said, "Your Highness, please calm down. Cao is used to being vulgar in the military camp. Everything he says is just a joke."

Qin Shuhuang didn't agree with him and snorted coldly.

Cao Jian immediately said again: "As long as Your Highness agrees to the Cao family's request, the Cao family will help deal with General Liu and protect His Highness's safety in Beidi and back to Beijing!"

Qin Shuhuang remained unmoved.

"Cao is willing to let the Xu family go. From now on, he will no longer compete with the Xu family in Xia Gong City, and the same is true in the border army."

Qin Shuhuang's expression remained unchanged.

Cao Jian gritted his teeth and continued to increase the pressure, "Cao can provide His Highness with evidence that the Regent colluded with Beidi!"

Qin Shuhuang's face finally showed a hint of interest.

Even Liu Renren, who had been frowning, had a hint of shock on his face.

He looked at Qin Shuhuang and called "Your Highness" softly.

Cao Jian was excited and immediately stood up and knelt in front of Qin Shuhuang, "Cao swears that as long as His Highness agrees to Cao's small request, what Cao said will definitely come true one by one! If Cao breaks the promise, the sky will strike with thunder, Cut off your descendants!"

Qin Shuhuang seemed to have finally been persuaded by Cao Jian.

She sighed slightly, "Since General Cao is so sincere, I will comply with General Cao's request."

Liu Renren seemed to want to persuade him again, but he still didn't say anything after opening his mouth. He just shook his head helplessly.

Hearing Qin Shuhuang's words, Cao Jian felt happy, but suppressed it. He bowed his hands to Qin Shuhuang, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

After the conversation in the big study room ended, Qin Shuhuang said, "I want to go to Xiagong City today. Is it okay?"

"Your Highness, feel free to do as you please! Cao will send guards to protect Your Highness!"

"General Cao is here to help."

Qin Shuhuang did not refuse.

Cao Jian felt even more happy.

Qin Shuhuang didn't care about his people following him, which meant that Her Royal Highness the Princess had initially accepted their cooperation.

Cao Jian personally sent Qin Shuhuang, Liu Renren and Xie Xuanye out of the big study.

Watching several people leave the courtyard of the big study.

After everyone left, Cao Jian returned to the big study and laughed a few times, letting out some of the excitement and joy in his heart.

The old servant next to him saw the general like this and couldn't help but remind him, "General, what will we do if the eldest princess doesn't keep her promise? Also, the one who cooperates with the regent in Beidi is His Highness the Wolf King, and His Highness the Wolf King is your son-in-law. Do we really want to surrender His Highness the Wolf King?"

Cao Jian sneered, "[-]% of Xia Gong City belongs to us. If the eldest princess doesn't give me the trade seal before leaving, do you think she can really leave Xia Gong City? As for the evidence of the regent's treason, there are so many in the Beidi Royal Court. Prince, you can use anyone!"

"The general is wise!" (End of chapter)
