Chapter 274, Behind the Scheme
In the outskirts of the capital, there is an inn with few people. It is guarded by secret guards. No one can be seen in sight, but one can faintly feel countless eyes staring at him from the dark, which makes people feel terrified.
On the second floor, near the window, a pair of slender hands poured hot tea from the pot into the cup, boiling to the bottom, stirring up steam, and the fragrance of tea spread.
The man slowly put down the teapot with a gentle smile on his face.
"Second Master, she is here." The attendant reported in surprise.
"Well, please come." Xie Jinqian said in a calm voice, his face was neither surprised nor afraid.
But the visitor was in a bad temper. As soon as he came in, he kicked the stool next to him away and pointed at him and cursed,
"Xie Jinqian, this princess listened to your lies and set up this trap. Now, Qingli City has not been taken, the Li family's divine dragon is missing, and even the saint Li Siqin who was sent was caught in the dungeon!"
"If my aunt knew about this, how would this princess explain it! You still have the heart to drink tea here? What about the things you promised me?"
Princess Yan'er's always arrogant and arrogant attitude was suddenly humiliated like a helpless street woman.
Some time ago, her aunt was worried about how to get Qingli City of Daxia. After all, they would soon be sent back to Nanmei by Daxia.
You can't bring a glass cup here and take it back.
The jade mines and Taizu's soul they lost on the way were too much of a blow. If they didn't get some benefits back from Daxia, everyone in Nanmei would dislike their incompetence.
In this way, my aunt would no longer be popular in the government and would have no status.
The worst result is that she would be deprived of power and not be able to participate in the government.
For the sake of status, they had to find a way to get Qingli City at all costs.
Just when they were at a loss.
Xie Jinqian took the initiative to find her and sent her a woman with a king's jade pendant.
Through the woman's memory, it was learned that she was Xue'er who saved the Emperor of Daxia seven years ago.
Princess Yan'er wanted to do something with Xue'er, and Xie Jinqian happened to have a purpose.
So the two of them discussed the plan.
Princess Yan'er asked the Taoist priest to hurry back to the Nanmei Li family.
The Li family was the maternal family of her mother, Princess Yanyang. She used her status as a princess and her aunt's influence as a guarantor to ask her uncle for the Li family's treasure, the Hundred-Year-Old Divine Dragon.
In this way, she wanted to confuse the emperor and ask him to cede Qingli City.
And Xie Jinqian's request made her even more excited.
It was after this incident that he wanted Princess Yan'er to marry Xia Siheng to achieve a marriage between the two countries, multiply the Nanmei bloodline, and help the king of the Nanmei bloodline ascend the throne.
In this way, in just twenty years, the royal family of Daxia will be renamed Tuoba!
In addition, Princess Yan'er has long admired Xia Siheng.
She has always suffered from not having the opportunity to get close to him.
Now, Xie Jinqian not only offered her a plan to acquire Qingli City, but also helped her to get her sweetheart.
Several benefits are hers, why not do it?
But now!
The matter of the divine dragon has failed.
She does not have many connections and influence in Nanmei, and this one thing has used up all her cards.
What should she do if the Li family blames her?
What's more, her aunt doesn't know about this at all.
There is no way to help her! Of course
, she was still angry, and questioned Xie Jinqian as soon as she entered the door!
Xie Jinqian looked at her almost ferocious expression and sneered in his heart.
This is the princess of Nanmei, so unpresentable.
Compared with his sister-in-law, it is far worse.
He raised the corners of his lips and smiled slowly, "Victory and defeat are common in the military. Don't you think about how perfect this plan was in the beginning?"
"In the whole Great Xia, the only one who can get rid of this divine dragon is Taoist Qianyun. With Xia Siheng's cleverness, once he finds out that the dragon is causing trouble and disturbing the emperor's mind, he will definitely ask Taoist Qianyun for help as soon as possible. Taoist
Qianyun has come from a long way, and after I sent people to intercept him, Xia Siheng will definitely not sit idly by." "He personally brought people to rescue Taoist Qianyun, didn't that just give you and me the opportunity to take action?"
"Isn't this prince doing what I promised you?"
"And you people in Nanmei are also stupid. Taoist Qianyun was intercepted by me on the road. You have trapped the emperor for so long, but you haven't been able to trick him into giving Qingli City to you."
"Your stupidity really makes this prince feel ashamed. I don't know how you have the nerve to vent here?"
Xie Jinqian raised his hand to support his forehead.
Such a good plan, a win-win situation, how could it turn out like this!
Princess Yan'er was so angry that her face turned blue, "Who knew that the emperor would wake up all of a sudden, and there is also a magical dragon. The only person in Daxia who can deal with my magical dragon is Taoist Qianyun. Taoist Qianyun has not yet arrived at the palace. Who knew that there is another master..." Wait
.
Which master!
Did the master realize that something was wrong and then took action to deal with the magical dragon?
But, how is it possible?
Daxia has no capable people, who can deal with the Li family's century-old magical dragon?
Princess Yan'er suddenly raised her head with a little confusion in her eyes.
Xie Jinqian laughed out loud, "Not only do you underestimate the enemy, but you also look down on Daxia. The emperor must have had the help of experts to prevent you from succeeding."
"What a bunch of idiots."
They, Nanmei, have always looked down on Daxia.
But they don't think about it. Daxia is vast and rich in resources. For thousands of years, the gods have forbidden it!
How is it possible that there is not a single capable person?
If you have no awe of your opponent, it will cause a devastating blow to yourself.
However, the success or failure of the divine dragon matter is of no importance to him.
He has asked his master to intercept Taoist Qianyun here.
I guess Xia Siheng will be here soon.
Princess Yan'er's face was pale, and she was in a state of panic. The saint was imprisoned, and the divine dragon was missing. With these two alone, she could offend her uncle's family.
Nanmei was afraid that she would have no place to stay.
She had to rely on Xie Jinqian's plan to marry Xia Siheng as a princess and stay in the Great Xia Dynasty. 欞魊尛裞
Apart from this.
She had no way out!
"What should we do next?" Princess Yan'er asked.
Xie Jinqian glanced at her and said lightly, "Wait."
He was really looking forward to it. Princess Yan'er, such a fool, married Xia Siheng, that jerk.
What kind of interesting expression would Xia Siheng have?
"Okay, this princess will trust you again!"
Princess Yan'er took a few steps forward and sat opposite him.
She poured herself a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.
A flash of disgust flashed in Xie Jinqian's eyes. Such manners and upbringing were really far behind his sister-in-law.
However, the more impolite and stupid Princess Yan'er was, the happier he was.
Who knows how much Xia Siheng would hate her for marrying such a person.
Not long after.
As he expected, Xia Siheng really brought people over.
He waved to the window, and the people in the dark waited for the opportunity to move, and behind the inn, there was a low sound of fighting that seemed far and near.
Xia Siheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and he immediately locked onto this inn!
