With a creak, Lan Shuiyao pushed the door open and walked in. She sat in front of the man leisurely and met his cold and hesitant peach blossom eyes. Don't tell me, when the charming eyes reveal a touch of melancholy, it is more exciting than the simple seduction.
There was no surprise, no joy, only calmness and serenity, as if he had been waiting for the woman for a long time, but there was a slight glimmer in his dark brown eyes.
"The girl is finally here!" Leng Yichen chuckled, "Could it be that the girl's business is so good that she has forgotten her old customers? Why is it so difficult to invite her?"
Lan Shuiyao smiled charmingly and coquettishly, raised her eyes and glanced at Leng Yichen, her voice lazy and sweet,
"Prince Leng, what are you saying? Although our Red Rose is not a respectable organization, we still understand the basic ethics of the underworld. It's just that the soldiers have been checking strictly these days. You also know that we live on the edge of a knife, so we naturally have to be careful. It's damned that you made Prince Leng anxious waiting for you!"
"Since you feel guilty, please have a drink, young lady. It will be a token of your gratitude for your waiting!"
After Leng Yichen finished speaking, he stared at Lan Shuiyao without blinking. The last time he sent someone to test Lan Shuiyao, no conclusion was reached. Although he suspected that Lan Shuiyao and Hong Meigui might be the same person, he had no evidence after all.
Now, he wanted to see what the woman's face looked like behind the red veil.
"Okay, then I'll drink first to show my respect!" Lan Shuiyao smiled seductively, and her slender white jade fingers slowly lifted the wine glass in front of her. After her fingers touched the veil, she slowly lifted the veil...
Holding his breath, inhaling, Leng Yichen waited for the moment when his true face would be revealed...
veil
It was suddenly lifted up, and the fingers quickly covered it. Almost in an instant, the veil was returned to its place, but the wine in the glass disappeared in an instant.
Leng Yichen was stunned. Not to mention the face, he couldn't even see a trace of skin. Suddenly, it seemed as if there were only the wine glass, the veil, and the fingers. His mind was blank.
"The wine has been drunk. Prince Leng should have seen my sincerity!" Putting the wine glass slowly on the table, Lan Shuiyao chuckled and glanced seductively.
Leng Yichen laughed, "The girl is an important partner of mine, so how could I be angry with her? It's just that the girl seems to have little interest in the last few deals. Is it because the price is not right?"
Lan Shuiyao glanced at him sideways, "Part of the reason is that the person that Prince Leng asked me to kill is probably not just a personal grudge, right?"
Leng Yichen was stunned. "Didn't the girl say that when accepting business, you only care whether the person is worth the price, not whether he is good or evil? When did you start asking whether it is a personal grudge or a national hatred?"
Lan Shuiyao sneered, "In fact, the reason is not important, but if the consequences of this matter are very important, I naturally want a more suitable price!"
Leng Yichen said calmly, "I want to kill Yue Nanchen, so please name a price!"
Lan Shuiyao chuckled, said nothing, and just looked out the window with a glance.
Leng Yichen frowned, his calm and relaxed look was long gone, and he gradually became a little irritated. It had been five years, and he didn't know how many more five years were left, or how long he could hold on. To be exact, he couldn't stay in Nanyue for even a day longer!
"Miss, name your price, as long as I, Leng Yichen, can afford it!" Leng Yichen said in a deep voice, although his face was a little unhappy,
Finally compromised.
"Didn't you kill Yue Nanchen just to return to your country? Well, Prince Leng, listen to me, I want half of your Han country's treasury!" Lan Shuiyao turned her eyes and spoke lightly, her voice was charming but powerful.
Leng Yichen's face darkened. Half of the national treasury? Not to mention that he couldn't be the master of the house, even if he could be the master of the house, this half of the national treasury...
"Can't bear to let the cold prince go? Have you ever thought that as time goes on, your country will one day lose patience. By then, let alone the throne, I'm afraid you won't even be able to keep the crown prince, right?"
Lan Shuiyao stood up and looked up at the bright moon. "As far as I know, your every move is under the surveillance of Emperor Nanyue. If you want to make trouble or take advantage of Princess Nanhan, I'm afraid it's impossible. You only have one way to go!"
Lan Shuiyao's analysis hit the most frightening part of Leng Yichen's heart. He turned his head and stared at her. She looked relaxed and comfortable, and said things that had nothing to do with her, but every word was like a needle piercing his heart.
He knew that his father and mother's patience was about to wear out. In the past few years, he had spent a lot of money just to manage the court, but to no avail. Even he was a little discouraged and disappointed, let alone his father!
King Hui is still there, waiting for the opportunity to ascend the throne. He really doesn't have much time!
But he must never let anyone see what's on his mind!
Leng Yichen forced a smile and pretended to be relaxed. "Don't worry about this, young lady. I am the only prince in the Han Kingdom. How could my father give up on me? Young lady has been in the martial arts world, how much do you know about the situation in the world?"
Lan Shuiyao chuckled, "There were five countries in the world before, and the Giant Clam Country had completely surrendered to the South five years ago.
Yue, Han, another defeated country, sent you to Nanyue as a hostage, but is ready to make another move.
The Kingdom of Miro is located in a valley, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack, but it values culture over military. Nanyue plans to form an alliance with it to contain it; and the most mysterious and richest Kingdom of Louxi was feared by the four countries a hundred years ago, and it had already perished under the joint attack of the four countries.
Although it is said that the subjects of Louxi Kingdom are still active in the four countries, they are all underground and cannot see the light of day. Now it seems that only Nanyue can unify the world, and King Yongnan does have this ambition!
Prince Leng, think about it. If you were the King of Yongnan, would you rather put a tiger in a cage, regardless of whether it would eat people or not, or release it back into the mountains?"
Lan Shuiyao spoke lazily, her voice becoming more and more casual, but Leng Yichen's heart became heavier and heavier.
Red Rose is right. If he were the King of Yongnan, he would rather kill a hundred people by mistake than let one go. Letting a tiger go back to the mountain will only cause endless troubles!
"Will I never be able to go back to Han Country in this lifetime?" Leng Yichen looked up at the woman. Her shadow was hazy and somewhat transparent in the candlelight. Suddenly, he felt that the person in front of him was not a woman, but a fairy who was transformed by the moonlight to help him.
Lan Shuiyao smiled, her charming and sweet laughter floating gently in the wind: "If you want to go back, you must cooperate with me. I don't ask for much, just half of the national treasury!"
Leng Yichen stared at her, watching the red dress fluttering, "Just you?"
The woman's charming smile was full of confidence, her head tilted slightly, and a charming light shone through the red gauze.
"If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do. Think about it. If you agree to cooperate with me, you will only lose half of the national treasury.
If you don't cooperate with me, you will lose the entire Han country. Which is more important?"
Leng Yichen's eyes flickered for a long time, and he exhaled, "Red Rose, I rarely trust others, but this time, I choose to believe in you, I hope you won't let me down!"
"Hehe!" The woman laughed softly, lazily and casually. The half moon was covered by her figure. The red phantom fluttered, as if frozen in the air. Only the dress was flying...
The voice gradually floated back from a distance, "You will find that you have found a good partner! As a token of sincerity for this cooperation, I will not accept a deposit!"
Leng Yichen finally slowly raised his willow-like eyebrows from his heavy mood, and an enchanting smile appeared on his charming face.
The secret guard stepped out from the shadows. "Master, is this woman really trustworthy? How could I have given my trump card to her?"
Leng Yichen nodded, "I choose to believe her, she is right. If I lose, I will still be a proton, and if I win, it will be the entire Han Kingdom. This bet is worth it!"
The secret guard seemed to disagree, but he didn't say anything in the end, and just lurked silently in the darkness.
Standing in front of the window, staring at the direction where the woman disappeared, Leng Yichen put his hands behind his back, and slowly a feeling of admiration arose in his heart, regardless of whether he was successful or not.
Red Rose's analysis of the situation in the five countries was so thorough that it was hard to believe that a materialistic person who only cared about money could talk about state affairs so thoroughly, allowing him to truly see the key.
In the eyes of Yue Nanxuan and Yue Nanchen, he is a tiger. No matter how docile he pretends to be, he will never become a cat. But even so, he still has to continue pretending, just as a way to numb himself!
