There was a smile in Yan Haixi's black eyes, and there was a flash of tenderness in the depths.

Unfortunately, Po, who was struggling with his feelings, didn't notice it.

Coming back to his senses, Yan Haixi's smile had become a mask of nothingness, "Let's go to Lantai, the scenery there is beautiful, I like it very much."

"Are you really my royal brother?!" A Bao was shocked.

Yan Haixi looked at the heavy rain outside the window and recalled the stone statue of the goddess at the bottom of the sea.

Xuanyuan Fengran's blood was almost drained out, it was useless;

And it was useless that he accidentally splattered blood during the fight;

The goddess statue was finally opened by Abao's Xuanyuan bloodline.

Turning his gaze back to Abao, Yan Haixi bit the baked pear that was said to have been poisoned by her, and his usually defiant black eyes were now calm.

"Unfortunately, I'm not."

Staring at the stunned Abao, Yan Haixi said something that only he could understand.

"That Lantai is not meant for me after all."

Hearing this, A Bao inexplicably felt that Yan Haixi was very lonely.

She held the black chess piece, thinking.

Words alone were not enough, so she was skeptical about Yan Haixi's background and decided to investigate it thoroughly.

Having said that, in terms of appearance, Yan Haixi looks quite like a member of the Xuanyuan royal family.

Holding the warm black plum tea, Abao took a big sip.

After moistening her throat, she felt a little relieved and started to think about business.

When Xie Wuai led the secret guards to search the island, Elder Xu's body was already cold.

The hairpin that pierced Elder Xu's throat was inlaid with green jade beads, embedded with finely carved cloud winter cherries, and decorated with coral tassels. It belonged to Xu Ying.

A Bao recognized it because Xu Ying had used it to stab Yan Haixi.

And now, the account book that recorded in detail the secret financial transactions of the Huainan Pei family was probably taken away by Xu Ying and hidden in the crowd.

A Bao was filled with hatred and almost crushed the black chess piece.

The Sheqiu Island account book is one of the ironclad evidences that expose the evil deeds of the Pei family. Even if it is scattered to the ends of the earth, it must be retrieved with all the effort.

Suddenly, Yan Haixi interrupted her thoughts.

"Haven't figured out how to proceed?"

"What do you mean?"

A Bao's question, which seemed to be a knowing answer, made Yan Haixi silent for a moment.

"The trade in Yinzhu City in Chuyue is extremely prosperous, and the Pingyue Palace has been operating here for many years. Behind it is the leader of the boat gang, that is, the Shi family of Princess Xuan." Yan Haixi said clearly, "Since Taiji Palace has sent Gu Qijue, my guess has come true."

"Now the barbarians are ready to make a move and will invade the south again. Taiji Palace needs money to store food and military equipment. For this reason, the old man just wants to stabilize the chaos in Chuyue without bloodshed."

Hearing this, A Bao looked at Yan Haixi meaningfully.

What he said was exactly what she was thinking.

"I really haven't figured out how to make a clever move to turn the tide." A Bao probed: "Yan Haixi, you are so smart, do you have any good ideas?"

Yan Hai pursed his lips and smiled softly, and his sharp thin lips seemed to soften.

"Are you planning to make me work like a slave for your Xuanyuan clan for the rest of my life?"

"I'll pay for it." Po held the black chess piece between his fingers and asked with a smile, "Is that okay?"

Yan Haixi's smile deepened: "How much money?"

A Bao pondered for a long time, and thought that Zhou Jin was nominally the leader of the pirates of Sheqiu Island, but the real person controlling the scenes was the man in the black robe and green collar in front of her.

She made a great determination, "Is three times my salary as the crown prince of the Eastern Palace enough?"

She thought Yan Haixi would have to think for a long time, but she was unexpectedly asked back by him.

"Are you not afraid that I will stab you in the back?"

Hearing this, A Bao raised his eyes and happened to meet his defiant black eyes.

The heavy rain is still falling, endlessly, as if it will linger with this autumn festival until the end.

After a while, A Bao tightly grasped the black chess piece, avoided Yan Haixi's sight, and placed a piece, "If that happens, I will retaliate again."

Before she finished her words, her black chess piece was taken away.

A Bao looked up in surprise and saw Yan Haixi playing with the black chess piece in his hand.

The stern face, carved by knives and axes, looked gloomy in the dim and rainy sky.

After a while, Yan Haixi smiled lightly and his eyes fell on the chessboard.

"I don't care about your salary as the crown prince of the Eastern Palace."

“…You are rich, you are amazing.”

A Bao was sad and angry, but it made Yan Haixi happier.

The man held up the black chess piece that was between his fingertips to A Bao. The chess piece made of black jade glowed with a cold light, and the man stared at A Bao with an extremely strange look in his eyes.

Amid the chaotic sounds of wind and rain, there was silence for a while before the man spoke in a deep voice.

"This chess piece is your promise to me."

"I can redeem it whenever I want."

Upon hearing this, it was Abao's turn to ask, "What if you want Xuanyuan Jiangshan?"

Yan Haixi suddenly gathered the black chess piece into his palm and clenched it, staring at A Bao with a more and more serious look, "I am not the old man in Taiji Hall."

"I have a treasure that I want more than Xuanyuan Jiangshan."

Hearing this, A Bao was half-believing and half-doubting.

But on second thought, the initiative of the alliance proposed by Yan Haixi actually lies in her hands.

After all, whether the promise will be fulfilled in the end depends on whether she is willing to do so.

I was just surprised that Yan Haixi was so smart and willing to do this dangerous business.

Yan Haixi did not rush him. He picked up the black plum tea beside him and tasted it slowly.

Finally, I thought to myself that this little princess is quite good at cooking.

After a long while, after careful consideration, A-Bao decisively said, "Okay! Deal!!"

Hearing this, Yan Haixi raised his eyes, and through the hot tea mist, he portrayed Abao at this moment as a picture, and finally clenched the black chess piece in his palm even tighter.

"Little princess, don't regret it."
