Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 878 Prince Nam Tai’s plan

Lu Baichuan was very calm and calm and said: "The two brothers are not very capable and cannot help if something happens, so I made the decision to replace them."

I can't help, but what I said is quite meaningful.

He Jiuniang looked at his serious look and could think of his ferocious heart when he knew that Hou Dahou Er was bribed by her.

She took the initiative to hold his hand and said, "Okay, okay, I didn't mean to hide anything from you, I just felt there was no need to tell you and make you worry. After all, I can solve it."

Of course Lu Baichuan knew this, but he just felt uncomfortable in his heart. He couldn't let his wife bear everything by herself. What else would he do to her?
"What happened to those assassins?"

He went to ask the guard and found that the guard didn't ask anything.

To be precise, the wife didn't let them interrogate her, she just dragged her down and beat her a few times, but she didn't ask any questions.

Therefore, he did not go to trial without authorization. He first asked his wife what she thought.

"Don't panic, the opponent must still be holding back his ultimate move. You will know when the time comes."

He Jiuniang is mysterious and doesn't plan to say anything now.

"You mean the crown prince's coronation ceremony?"

"Yes, you will know when the time comes."

He Jiuniang blinked, looking like she had a chance to win.

In just that moment, Lu Baichuan suddenly understood, everything was unspoken.

"Is this gift too expensive for you?"

He was talking about the enthronement gift given to the prince.

"It's okay, who asked me to be generous!"

The couple was playing riddles, and if anyone else was there, they would definitely not know what they were talking about.

Over at Nantai Posthouse, the envoy Shiziye sent was not as anxious as Dongting Xiteng, as if this matter had nothing to do with him at all.

"Your Majesty, why are you not worried at all? Aren't you afraid that Dongting and Xiteng will join forces to harm us?"

Some people started to get anxious. After all, not everyone is so calm.

"What are you afraid of? It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a disaster you can't avoid."

Prince Nantai looked calm and relaxed, feeding the fish he raised leisurely, as if he was visiting Beiyan and nothing else had anything to do with him.

"what?"

The envoy was shocked. Is this prince crazy?

When I took the initiative to come, I promised you so much, but after I came, I was a salty fish every day. I thought that the prince of Nantai was dead and the old emperor was unable to do what he wanted, so he started to deal with it like this, right?

The envoys were very angry, but the other party was the crown prince. The royal family had few heirs, and the most capable prince was assassinated. As the old emperor's nephew, the crown prince might be selected to adopt the old emperor and take that position.

Therefore, they dare not offend easily.

Seeing them like this, Crown Prince Nantai couldn't help but laugh out loud and said: "First of all, it is impossible for Dongting and Xiteng to cooperate. Secondly, we have done nothing. We are not afraid of shadows when we are upright. What is there to be afraid of? Let's all go back. Well, I’m going to take a lunch break.”

He threw all the fish food in his hand into the fish tank, then waved his hand to chase people away.The envoys became more and more dissatisfied, but they still didn't say anything. They just left and started to complain. They felt that the prince was really unreliable. Can they fulfill their promise to the old emperor of Nantai in this way?
Prince Nantai just curled his lips and said nothing.

These old guys didn't know that he had secretly met someone who invited him to cooperate, but he refused, but they also knew that the person they wanted to deal with was not him.

As long as he stays out and doesn't cause trouble, the other party won't be in trouble.

After all, Prince Nantai had just died, and the internal situation was still in chaos. The country's power was instantly weakened, and it did not pose any threat to them.

That's why he can be so calm.

While others were messing around, he was going to do his own thing.

After everyone exited, Prince Nantai went out quietly.

However, he did not go to any suspicious place, but walked around the streets. Looking at the bustling streets of Beiyan Capital, he couldn't help but feel a little envious.

In the past, Nantai was like this, and they even had the ability to send troops to Beiyan to gain some benefits for themselves.

But since the prince and the most powerful King Liang were killed, the major forces began to fight openly and covertly, all trying to compete for that position. Now their strength has been greatly reduced, and they have become the weakest among the four countries. Looking at this bustling street, I can only envy you.

But he didn't come out just to envy others. After walking around for a few times, he went to the teahouse.

This teahouse has a unique feature. Only older gentlemen from aristocratic families like to come here because it not only serves good tea, but also has people singing little songs. The most important thing is that they can play chess here and discuss chess skills together.

Many noble men like to play chess for fun, and Prince Nantai comes here just because he has inquired about it. Old man Lu has also come here often recently.

Old Man Lu came from a humble background and wanted to learn something so as not to embarrass his son, so he liked to come to this teahouse to learn chess skills from others.

There are many people here who look down on Old Man Lu's background. They feel that they are of noble birth, have been officials themselves, or have many people in their family who are officials, so they look down upon a martial artist from the Lu family who is a military general. Even if Old Man Lu takes the initiative to ask for advice, People don't want to pay attention to it.

Of course, some people saw that the Lu family grew up so quickly. Lu Baichuan was a confidant of the emperor and the prince, and his children performed particularly well in the Imperial College, so they also liked to associate with him. After going back and forth, he also made a few old brothers. .

Prince Nantai looked around and didn't see Old Man Lu today. He heard that when Lu Baichuan went to court in the morning, he submitted a confession, saying that it was written by Old Man Lu. He offended the old emperor at the banquet yesterday and specifically apologized. .

I think it's understandable that Old Man Lu is feeling upset right now and is not in the mood to go out to play today.

Prince Nantai found a seat and sat down, and let the waiter serve refreshments. Then he went to the nearby chess place to join in the fun and learned a lot of tricks.

It was rare for the noble man to see a young man in a place like this, and he even pulled him to play several times, winning two out of three games. Everyone was very optimistic about this young man and praised him repeatedly.

Later in the evening, when he was about to go back, he suddenly saw Old Man Lu coming. He didn't take the initiative to say hello, but just agreed to someone else's request for another fight.

"Brother Lu! Come on, come on!"

Someone saw Old Man Lu and greeted him very warmly.

Old man Lu felt guilty all night last night and didn't sleep well. He was depressed at home for a while today. If his third wife hadn't been asking him to come out to relax, he wouldn't have been willing to go out.

When he heard someone calling him, although he was not in the mood, he still came over to watch the game to save face.

"This young man is really good. He just played three games with us old guys and won two of them! This game has just started, and we don't know what the situation is yet."

Mr. Gui next to him stroked his beard and praised him. He was the only one who won. He felt very accomplished, but he also knew in his heart that it was not easy to win against him, so he praised him even more sincerely.
