Speaking of this, Wang Yanzhou's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said to Lin Feng with the intention of showing off: "This was prepared by Achen, saying that it is for precautionary purposes. My princess may not be good at other things, but this feeling is really much more perceptive than the average person."
When it came to Tang Chen, Lin Feng didn't know how to respond. It wasn't because he also liked Tang Chen that he felt jealous of his rivals, but he really didn't know what to say.
After a while, Qiu Liang brought all the people and things that Wang Yanzhou ordered: "Master, I brought everything here."
Wang Yanzhou asked Wang Nianqing to prepare the abacus and other items before getting to the point: "Lord Xiahou, if you have any bargaining chips that can be used to trade with us, you can put them on the table now. Of course, since you have taken the initiative to ask, I will not cheat you. Based on the amount of your chips, I can consider the deal you want to make with me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiahou Chun, as if he had planned it all along, handed over the jade hairpin that Wang Wu had entrusted to him before his death. Wang Yanzhou took the hairpin in his hand and examined it carefully for a while, but after noticing anything special, he handed it to Wang Nianqing: "...Nianqing, take a look."
"This seems to be just an ordinary jade hairpin with simple carving. I can't see the material clearly. It would be great if Zhong Qin was here." After saying that, Wang Nianqing fiddled with the abacus while handing the jade hairpin to Qiu Liang. Judging from the instructions on the abacus, this jade hairpin was not a particularly valuable item.
Qiu Liang looked up at Xia Houjun, noticing his eyes never leaving the jade hairpin. He figured since he was so focused on it, it probably wasn't just something he'd picked up to amuse them. "It's very simple, and doesn't look like something a young woman would normally wear. Judging by the wear and tear on it, it might be a family heirloom. If so, its significance is undoubtedly invaluable, but if it's used as leverage in today's negotiations, it seems to lack any persuasive power."
After Xiahou Chun took back the jade hairpin, he said emotionally, "This is said to be a relic of my mother."
Wang Yanzhou raised his eyebrows and smiled, "It is said? This word is used very well."
Xiahou Chun put away the pathetic expression on his face and handed the jade hairpin to Wang Nianqing again. "I don't even know what happened. I just want to tell you my determination to betray Tianshu Tower. Xiahou Qing, you killed 51 people in my family. I just want revenge."
After Wang Nianqing took the item, she deliberately asked, "Since even you, a so-called orphan, don't know about this matter, how can you prove the authenticity of this story?"
Seeing that these people still didn't believe him, Xiahou Jun felt a little annoyed. "Believe it or not, this thing is made of a special material. If you research it carefully for a while, you should be able to learn something about the story."
Wang Yanzhou said, "I'll have people keep an eye out for anything else besides this item that proves Lord Xiahou's resolve; for example, intelligence."
Xiahou Jun said that since he had come, he would definitely not be unprepared. "Beimo has secretly formed an alliance with Tianshu Tower. They are openly under the banner of helping Liang State, but in reality, they are indeed preparing to attack Qingliang Valley with artillery."
He had thought this information was enough to negotiate with Wang Yanzhou and the others, but after seeing the calm expressions on their faces, Xiahou Jun was truly stunned, especially when Wang Yanzhou casually asked, "Well, anything else?"
"...Qingliang Valley is indeed extraordinary. There is one more thing. Although I cannot bring the evidence now, I think you all have noticed something wrong during the confrontation in front of the battlefield. The Yunhe who came from nowhere is the trump card in Xiahou Qing's hand that has been put on the table." If they had prepared spies in advance, it would not be impossible to find out about the matter in Beimo. However, they would not be able to fully understand the matter of Yunhe in such a short time.
Wang Yanzhou and Wang Nianqing exchanged a glance and said, "We've roughly figured out what he wants to do. I just don't know if Lord Xiahou has any other explanations that would be refreshing and eye-opening."
Xiahou Jun's face darkened slightly. It seemed he had no choice but to reveal his trump card. "That Yun He, if my guess is correct, could be your biological father. Your Highness, think carefully. If it's just a rumor, it's fine. But once there's solid evidence, the Qingliang Palace should handle it this way."
With the exception of Wang Yanzhou, everyone present wore a rather amusing expression. Wang Nianqing and Qiu Liang, upon hearing this, nearly rushed over to punch Xiahou Jun in the face. You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want, especially words like this. Was Xiahou Jun saying that Wang Yanzhou's bloodline was impure and unfit to be the Prince of Qingliang? He was also openly and covertly slandering Queen Wang Zhen, who was like their mother. This guy needed to learn how to control his tongue.
Wang Yanzhou saw that Wang Nianqing and the others looked like they were about to beat someone up, while Xiahou Jun looked like a hero ready to die without resistance. He said calmly, "I'm not even excited. Why are you so anxious? It's true that the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuchs are. Even if this is true, I have no interest in that position, and this matter has no impact on me at all. If you don't have any new news, Lord Xiahou, please go back for now. If you go back too late, I don't know how anxious your adoptive father will be."
From the moment Wang Yanzhou met Yunhe, a strange thought had been brewing in his mind. Although Wang Zhen had never mentioned this person, the connection between them seemed real. Xiahou Qing had gone to great lengths to find such a person, and anyone with a discerning eye could see his intention. Rumors didn't require proof, but if there was tangible evidence to support these rumors, it would take on a whole new meaning.
Wang Yanzhou thought that he probably couldn't get anything new out of Xiahou Jun. If he left him here and was discovered by Xiahou Qing, what if it would be a fight to the death? Or maybe this man was completely inhumane and didn't care about Xiahou Jun's life or death. Wouldn't they have worked in vain then?
As he thought about it, his feet involuntarily went out of the tent. Xiahou Jun saw Wang Yanzhou leaving and wanted to chase him out anxiously: "Prince!"
Lin Feng and Qiu Liang followed, leaving Wang Nianqing alone, holding an abacus and standing in front of Xiahou Jun, blocking his way. Although Wang Nianqing was wearing a mask, the coldness emanating from her eyes behind the mask made Xiahou Jun uneasy.
