Prince Pingxi and the crown prince are of the same generation, and Princess Loulan came to participate in this election with the mentality of just watching the fun.
He never thought about becoming prime minister, he just came to have fun.
You took her away...
Isn’t this an international joke?
Even if a hundred ministers of the Ministry of Industry are dead, you still won’t be as valuable as a princess!
At the same time, there was another one, a gloomy young man who had not said a word and was sitting in the corner drinking silently. He also had a very famous name, the prince of Daqian Kingdom!
However, he, the prince, is not one of those princes who is expected to be emperor.
But the prince was sent as a hostage by Da Qian Kingdom.
Neither Daqian nor Loulan borders Jingyang, so neither side has any substantive territorial dispute.
However, Daqian was weak and bordered Yan, Jin and Dongyue, which made him in great need of allies.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Da Qian sent the princes to Beijing as hostages, which resulted in many years of border stability.
In recent years, as the prince began to supervise the country, and Dongyue and Yan made frequent moves, Daqian thought that he could further improve his relationship with Jingyang.
This gave rise to the idea of letting the prince run for prime minister.
If your prince becomes the prime minister, how can you not care about your country? Compared with this, what is three hundred thousand taels of silver?
Lu Qingbai's eyes flickered, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Your Highness, if we find the murderer and he is assassinated by the murderer, can we kill him?"
"Can!"
The prince's eyes darkened slightly and he said calmly.
This is tantamount to making it clear that if you have the ability, you will kill others. If you are killed by others, you can only blame yourself for not having the ability.
"My dear brother, I understand."
Lu Qingbai bowed his hands in salute, then continued to sit down and wave his fan.
The venue fell into silence again.
After the banquet, everyone here must be tempted to take action. If you kill one of them, there will be one less competitor.
No one knows that they may have become someone else's target.
At this time, Princess Loulan spoke, "Your Highness, although I have brought some guards, I don't have many talents to investigate and solve the case. Can Your Highness, the Crown Prince, lend me some royal guards?"
The prince smiled and shook his head, "Your Highness, if I lend you a loan, it would be unfair to others. However, if the princess is worried about insufficient defense, then I can lend you my red-armored warrior."
After Princess Loulan pondered for a moment, she declined, "Thank you, Your Highness, my defense is very good, and there is no need for Your Highness to worry."
Zhao Xiaole thought for a while and then interjected: "If Her Royal Highness needs talents, she can form an alliance with others to pass this assessment!"
Princess Loulan was slightly surprised, "What Marquis Zhenguo means is..."
Zhao Xiaole nodded. At this time, Qin Sining stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Sining has some investigative methods and is willing to work with His Highness to pass this assessment!"
"His Royal Highness's guards are very powerful. Although they have a wide range of opportunities, they are in urgent need of martial arts talents. If we join forces, we will definitely have great hope in this assessment! Your Highness, Sining, does this violate the regulations?"
The prince shook his head, "As long as the law does not prohibit it, if the alliance is voluntary, I will not interfere."
Seeing this, Princess Loulan nodded and said: "That's very good. If I can pass this round of assessment, I will be greatly thanked."
"Your Highness is too polite. I still need to rely more on Your Highness." Qin Sining said modestly.
An alliance between the two women was established.
Others looked at it and some were very moved.
Man Ying shouted, "Little fat man, come here, how about I form an alliance with you? You will provide me with big fish and meat every day, and I will let you easily pass the second round of assessment, that's it!"
Wang Fugui was furious when he heard this, "You immortal thing, you still want to deceive me with your little IQ? Do you really think I'm stupid? Did you cheat your grandpa with food and drink?"
Man Ying also said angrily: "Little bastard, how can you talk? Believe it or not, I will slap you in the mouth!"
…
Wang Fugui and Man Ying had a dispute. These two people could be said to be the weirdest people present. If they finally joined forces, they would also be the weirdest group.
The remaining five people still had no intention of joining forces. The talented man from Yanshan picked up the wine glass and looked at it carefully.
The fine wine in the cup could not attract him. The cup seemed to be the most precious treasure in the world.
All his attention was on the cup.
All the troubles in the outside world have nothing to do with him.
Finally, he raised his neck suddenly and drank all the wine in the glass.
Similar to him is the Tieguangwang. Both of them are extremely proud and disdain to be with others.
King Tie Gua seemed to be only interested in the two iron balls in his hand, and had no interest in other things.
Prince Qianguo never spoke a word from beginning to end. Until after the banquet, some people still speculated whether he was mute or not.
And Liu Boxin has been missing his deceased brother, sometimes reciting poems, sometimes crying to himself, completely different worlds from other people.
The remaining Lu Qingbai is most like a normal person. He already has the help of his senior brother Ren Xiaoyao and does not need to find allies at all.
If you really need help, you can only ask the practitioners from all directions to help.
Why ally with these psychopaths?
The banquet gradually came to an end. The prince said hello first, then stood up and left. The others followed closely and dispersed one after another.
However, the steps out of Lihua Garden seem to be much heavier than when they entered, because once they leave here, everyone will enter the field of life and death.
Man Ying put his arms around Wang Fugui's shoulders and was the first to leave. I don't know what means he used to trick Wang Fugui into limping.
The talented scholar from Yanshan and the prince from Qian Kingdom followed, followed by the most prominent King Tie Dan, Lu Qingbai and Liu Boxin.
Qin Sining and Princess Loulan chatted for a while and then left together. Zhao Xiaole invited Princess Loulan to live in Zhenguo Hou Mansion.
Qin Sining had no chance to stop her. Once she said these words, it was impossible to take them back. When Princess Loulan heard this, she smiled and said:
"The Marquis of Zhenguo is not afraid that I will steal Miss Qin's position?"
"Haha!" Zhao Xiaole laughed, "The princess is laughing. The princess just came to Jingyang to enjoy. If the princess likes the position of prime minister, it doesn't matter if she takes it!"
"What kind of place is that official residence? How can the princess be condescended to her? As a landlord, I should naturally treat her well."
Princess Loulan also smiled and said: "In that case, my heart is indeed moved. Miss Qin, are you willing for me to move into the Hou Mansion?"
Qin Sining sighed, "Your Highness, Princess, Sining naturally agrees, but the owner of the Hou Mansion is not Sining. Your Highness, Princess, does not need to seek Sining's opinion!"
Princess Loulan nodded and said with a smile: "Then I'm not welcome!"
Princess Loulan is actually very curious about Zhao Xiaole. She has heard of his name a long time ago. He is a man of the hour.
You can also take this opportunity to observe him carefully.
