The expression on Pei Yicheng's face gradually softened, and he quickly put on a smile: "Master Huangfu is joking, killing the son of General Wang on Dongyou's territory? I don't want Southern Qi to be destroyed just yet."
Huangfu Lingfeng shook his head: "My weight is not that heavy."
"We can't decide whether it's serious or not." Pei Yicheng poured himself a glass of wine, "Master Huangfu, if you have any requests, you might as well get straight to the point."
This is the attitude that negotiation should have.
As expected, Huangfu Lingfeng got straight to the point: "From this moment on, I hope that Prince Pei will keep the proper distance from King Yongjing."
"for example?"
"Prince Pei should understand what I mean." Huangfu Lingfeng said, "There are some secrets between King Jing and our empress that are unknown to outsiders. Prince Pei doesn't need to ask more, but there should still be a certain distance. It's best.
The way is to avoid him and not have any verbal communication. Of course, it is even more inappropriate to contact him secretly through letters. In short, just ignore him."
Pei Yicheng understood that this cut off the possibility of him helping King Jing bring a letter back to Dayong, and sternly warned Southern Qi and Dayong not to form an alliance in any sense.
Otherwise, the spies he arranged in Xijiang and Yan Kingdom will be completely exposed and become abandoned - the envoys from Xijiang and Yan Kingdom are already on their way to Dongyou. As long as Huangfu Lingfeng talks to them, Southern Qi will
All plans will be wiped out.
Pei Yicheng was silent for a moment. He was worthy of being the only son of Dongyou General Wang. He was seen doing nothing, visiting brothels and drinking wine, but in fact he was a person even more difficult to deal with than his father.
Pei Yicheng nodded: "Do you have any other requests?"
Huangfu Lingfeng smiled lightly: "I don't dare to make too many demands. After all, I know enough is enough."
Pei Yicheng was noncommittal.
Huangfu Lingfeng turned to look at the six young men: "Come here and serve His Highness the Crown Prince."
"No." Pei Yicheng quickly stopped him, "Let them all go down. I'm not interested in this."
Huangfu Lingfeng smiled slightly, not sure whether he believed his words or not, and waved his hand: "Step back."
The young people filed away in a very well-behaved manner, and there was nothing out of line from the beginning to the end.
Pei Yicheng stared at their backs thoughtfully: "Are these people really the waiters from Nansheng Hall?"
"It doesn't look like it?"
"It really doesn't look like it."
"To be honest, there are a lot of beauties in the Nansheng Hall, and there are all kinds of beauties. These young men have not been trained very much. They work according to their temperament. Apart from being a little more disciplined, everything else is relatively clean."
Huangfu Lingfeng said without changing his expression, making it impossible to tell the truth from the lies, "There are also some well-trained waiters in Nansheng Hall who are very charming. I was just worried that their excessive enthusiasm would scare Prince Pei, so I didn't
arrange."
Pei Yicheng's smile was a little unnatural. This man was really a vegetarian. He really couldn't imagine how a cold and majestic man like Huangfu General Wang could give birth to such a strange son.
But thinking about the Great General King...
Pei Yicheng took a sip of wine and said casually: "General Wang holds the military power and is the most powerful military commander in Dongyou. He has made great achievements. Mr. Huangfu is so insightful into people's hearts that he has never thought of starting a new business?"
Huangfu Lingfeng raised his eyebrows: "Prince Pei is inciting me to rebel?"
Pei Yicheng hurriedly said: "Of course not."
"It doesn't matter." Huangfu Lingfeng smiled playfully, "Only you and I know what happened tonight, and no other person knows."
Pei Yicheng turned to look at Nan Sheng, who was playing the piano, "Is she not a human?"
Huangfu Lingfeng nodded: "She really can't be counted as a person. After all, when the knife falls, the person is gone."
Nan Sheng sat aside, Qingcheng's face remained calm, as if he had not heard these words.
"I have no intention of slandering you." He said with a smile, with a hint of admiration on his face, "I've just heard that Emperor Dongyou always attaches great importance to military commanders. He trusts military commanders and will not be afraid because the general king has a large number of troops.
You won’t lose sleep at night because of which minister has the power to dominate the government and the opposition. This kind of broad-mindedness is really admirable.”
"Yes, that's why Dongyou is so powerful." Huangfu Lingfeng nodded, "The king is trustworthy, and the ministers are loyal. They are not easily provoked and will not become suspicious due to a few words from outsiders. I am actually quite happy for my father because he
Allegiance is to a Holy Son of Heaven."
Pei Yicheng's smile froze slightly, and then he sighed softly: "It's a pity that Emperor Shengming saw through the world of mortals early, abdicated and wandered away. It's really unexpected."
"It's no pity. The Supreme Emperor must have made such a decision after careful consideration. It proves that today's emperor is more courageous. Whether it is ability or the heart to treat loyal ministers and generals, he will only go beyond the standard."
Pei Yicheng was silent, not knowing what else to say.
He seems to have understood the reason why Emperor Dongyou asked Huangfu Lingfeng to entertain them tonight. Dongyou is a place of crouching tigers, hidden dragons. The new emperor obviously also knows Huangfu Lingfeng's temperament and acting style. Knowing people and making good use of them is probably like this
Bar.
The more careless a person is in his words, the more upright he is in his heart.
Pei Yicheng knew in his heart that Huangfu Lingfeng was not someone he could win over or instigate, so he didn't bother to waste any more words. Moreover, the other party was really difficult to deal with and he was not forgiving. He was no match for him at all.
At about midnight, King Jing and Prince Mobei returned to the private room together. Pei Yicheng had already left. King Jing saw that Huangfu Lingfeng was the only one sitting in the private room, drinking wine and listening to the piano. His expression changed slightly, "Why don't you see Prince Pei?"
"He has taken a step ahead." Huangfu Lingfeng pointed to the seat next to him, "You two, sit down and I'll call some beauties over for you."
King Jing said: "It's getting late——"
"Since you're here, let's have a good drink." Huangfu Lingfeng smiled lightly, "If the Emperor and the Queen know that I don't treat guests well, it won't be easy to explain."
Before King Jing could say anything, Prince Mobei took the lead and walked in, "I heard that this Nansheng girl is the oiran of the Nansheng Pavilion and a money-spinner. I wonder how much money can be redeemed for her?"
Redemption?
Huangfu Lingfeng leaned on the couch: "Prince Ji has a soft spot for Miss Nan Sheng?"
"Indeed." Ji Yunshuo nodded, "Looking at the world, there should be no more beautiful woman than Miss Nan Sheng."
The beauty of Nansheng is coldness, aloofness, natural charm, and peerless elegance. Just quietly lowering your eyebrows and playing the piano can make people feel calm and calm, and brush away all impetuousness.
If she raises her eyes and catches a glimpse of a man, it seems like she can take away that man's soul.
Ji Yunshuo likes beauties, and even more so beauties like Nan Sheng.
It's a pity, "She doesn't sell herself."
King Jing wanted to turn around and leave, but at this moment he already understood that he had missed an excellent opportunity. Even if he left now, he might not be able to catch up with Pei Yicheng.
