Li Zhu looked at the fear in the eyes of the Xiliang princess, fear that was also fear of him. The two of them served different masters. He was able to overthrow the rule of Youzhou in just over ten days, so could he also overthrow Xiliang?
That's what she was afraid of!
A wicked smile appeared on his lips. He was very satisfied with the effect. It would not be easy to make Yuwen Kingdom submit, but this kind of scheme was enough to make Yuwen Kingdom admire him. Even if they did not submit, they would seriously consider assisting him!
Everyone knows he's a good-for-nothing, and it's not easy to shake off that established impression. So he deliberately let the Princess of Xiliang hear his plan. This kind of strategy, which is like a dimensional attack, will definitely make the other party look at him in a new light. When he tries to provoke her again, there will be much less resistance. It's a win-win situation!
"Cough cough..."
He coughed twice, pulling the two of them back to reality, but his hand had already been placed on the Xiliang princess's slender waist, and the softness of her waist made his heart flutter!
The short video was absolutely right; this woman's waist really is a deadly weapon, Li Zhu thought to himself.
Princess Xiliang also sensed something, especially since Li Zhu's hands were very restless, groping and probing her waist. Although the actions were discreet, Yuwen Kingdom was still present!
She tried to struggle and break free from Li Zhu's hand, but his hand seemed to be magnetic and she couldn't shake it off no matter what she did. Most importantly, she didn't want to be too impolite in front of a celebrity like Yuwen Guo. After several unsuccessful attempts, she had no choice but to give up!
But after she focused her attention on Li Zhu's hands, the warmth emanating from them made her feel weak all over, and her face flushed slightly!
"Special Envoy, are you alright?"
Yuwen Guo looked at the Xiliang princess with a puzzled expression and asked!
"Reporting to the Prime Minister, I'm fine..."
Princess Xiliang said with difficulty that in order to get rid of Li Zhu's clutches, she pretended to stand up by the window to look at the scenery by accident. Li Zhu naturally stood up as well and looked out with her!
There weren't many people on the street, but it was still bustling with people. Just then, a fortune teller walked by carrying a large flag!
When Li Zhu saw this person, he clearly sensed a change in the expression of the Princess of Xiliang. It was obvious that this person was very important to her!
But this is the New Tang Dynasty, not the Western Liang Dynasty. Why would there be someone she cares about here?
The princess of Xiliang made a few strange hand gestures, and immediately some people followed the fortune teller and chased after her!
Li Zhu frowned, glanced back at the returning Marquis, and gave him a look. The Marquis immediately understood and sent his men to follow.
"Hey bro, what are you doing here? Drinking is the important thing, come back and drink with us..."
He then took the princess's hand and led her back to her seat, leaving the princess of Xiliang looking helpless and her face even more unpleasant than if she had swallowed a fly!
But as soon as the two sat down, Li Zhu felt a chill down his back and his skin tighten. He had read in online novels that this was a sign of impending danger. Could it be that he could also sense danger coming?
Whether it was accurate or not, Li Zhu reacted instinctively, pulling the Xiliang princess into his arms and knocking her to the ground!
Swoosh...
Numerous whooshing sounds rang out, followed by 'bang bang' sounds, clearly the sound of sharp weapons piercing the wooden planks!
Turning around, I saw that it was arrows, but they all hit the table. It was obvious that someone was trying to assassinate me. I didn't expect the revenge to come so quickly and so brutally!
It seems that starting as the crown prince isn't such a good thing after all!
It would be better to be a powerful minister, where you can scheme against people from behind the scenes. Now you can only passively defend yourself from being schemed against, which is too painful!
"Your Majesty, leave two prisoners alive and bring them back for questioning..."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The Marquis's figure disappeared from the spot, and soon the sounds of fighting came from outside, and the arrows stopped firing, obviously the assassins were being eliminated, which made Li Zhu breathe a sigh of relief!
As the sounds of fighting subsided, Li Zhu reluctantly climbed off the Xiliang princess. He was mainly pushed away, otherwise, given his sixth brother's personality, how could he possibly give up such an opportunity to take advantage of her!
Li Zhu, feeling guilty, looked away, not daring to meet the eyes of the Xiliang princess, but he inadvertently saw Yuwen Guo staring at him angrily!
"The Prime Minister doesn't look well..."
Li Zhu couldn't help but tease him!
"How dare you say that? We're all men, yet you carried the special envoy away while leaving me here. This is clearly favoritism. I considered you a friend, and this is how you treat your friends?"
Hearing Yuwen Guo's complaints, Li Zhu couldn't help but defend himself.
"I just shouted it..."
"You didn't shout!"
Yuwen Guo said angrily!
Didn't I shout?
Li Zhu then looked at the Xiliang princess, wanting her to testify that he had shouted it out for him!
"You didn't yell, and you hit me... you hit me so hard..."
Princess Xiliang really wanted to say that you bumped into her chest and it hurt, but as a woman, she couldn't bring herself to say such a shameful thing. She could only stammer for a long time without being able to say anything coherent!
"You, the Crown Prince, could have any woman you wanted. Why are you so infatuated with one man? Especially since he's an envoy from Xiliang. You're digging your own grave..."
Yuwen Guo spoke with genuine sincerity, wanting to guide Li Zhu, this lost eagle, back to the right path!
Li Zhu smacked his lips, never expecting to be so pathetic in the Yuwen Kingdom, where he was even mistaken for a perverted man. The key was that he didn't know how to explain himself. As long as the Xiliang princess didn't want to reveal her identity, this misunderstanding would be hard to clear up!
He couldn't help but roar inwardly, "I'm a normal person, a normal person who likes beautiful women..."
But such words cannot be spoken openly; one can only offer a forced explanation.
"Prime Minister, your vision is too narrow..."
"Am I narrow-minded?"
Yuwen Guo subconsciously pointed at himself, his eyes fixed on Li Zhu, as if to say, "If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I'll drown you in my spittle!"
"Otherwise what? This is an envoy from Xiliang, a country with which we have diplomatic relations, and which will also be a future in-law of our New Tang. With such a relationship, how can we allow an envoy from Xiliang to be harmed in our New Tang?"
"What I just did was a natural reaction in a moment of panic. As the Crown Prince Regent, I must protect the envoy from Xiliang with my life and not allow them to suffer any harm on the land of my New Tang. Moreover, my relationship with the envoy is merely that of brothers, not as sordid as the Prime Minister thinks. Therefore, I think the Prime Minister's vision is too narrow..."
Yuwen Guo was stunned by what he was being said. One accusation after another was being leveled at him, completely bewildering him. He completely forgot that he had just intended to confront and reprimand Yuwen Guo!
