Nine princes get married

The unpredictable Qian Rong sat in the lobby of Yinsong Castle, above him was the owner of Yinsong Castle, Cang Mo, and on his left and right were colleagues who worked together.Cang Mo sat casually but dignifiedly, while Mu Xiu and Gongsun Ji beside him were drinking tea leisurely.

Because of the report from Qian Rong's biography, this time it is related to the royal family, so Cang Mo called everyone back to report on their work and discuss countermeasures.

The little movements of the Nine Kings stopped, and they stopped completely. Even those inexplicably "disappeared" or "damaged" objects in the past also returned inexplicably intact.The Yinsongbao Imperial City Sub-office finally returned to the past, peacefully doing its own thing.

Cang Mo praised Qian Rong for handling things properly this time, and colleagues also expressed their approval││

It's just that these two people, who obviously didn't want to control the smiles on their lips, stared at him exaggeratedly and laughed fiercely at this moment.

Seeing that Qian Rong maintained his unchanged posture and expression, swearing to ignore them to the end, Mu Xiu took the lead and said, "Brother Qian, thank you for your hard work this time!"

"It's okay." Qian Rongke said politely.

"Brother Qian, isn't the Nine Kings handsome, graceful, humorous, cunning and tough?" Gongsun Ji also asked.

"Normal." Qian Rong glanced at him politely.

"Don't be like this," Gongsun Ji smiled brightly, "Smile so fake, could it be that the Nine Kings really disturbed the heartstrings?"

"..." Qian Rong tugged at the corner of his mouth.

"Actually, the Nine Kings are pretty good. Although they come from the royal family, their identities are a bit complicated, but it is said that their benevolence has won the hearts of the people." Mu Xiu rubbed his chin and said, "Brother Qian, you should think about it carefully."

……

"Crack!" Qian Rong finally broke a vein on his forehead, and slapped the table: "Hey, I say you are enough!"

The two clapped their hands and laughed loudly: "It's a blast! Haha, the Nine Kings' skill is indeed profound!"

Cang Mo, who was seated above, also had a smile on his lips.

Outsiders know that Qian Rong is calm and reliable despite his young age, but only those who know him well know that he is naturally alienated and indifferent to the world because he was born as an orphan. Only people who know him can see his frank and direct character.

For example, now││

Qian Rong withdrew his hand from the table and held his forehead.

││Zhuang Jiu stopped harassing Yinsongbao, but the harassment gradually intensified, as if it would never end.

First of all, there is a gift every day, from south to north, from ancient times to the present, as long as Zhuang Jiu has strange and weird gadgets, he will definitely deliver them in person, and then chat to express his affection.

At first he was able to greet him with a calm smile, but when he saw that the Nine Kings insisted, he gradually changed into a positive expression and declined, and later he slowly turned an angry look to ask the Nine Kings to respect him and him, but Zhuang Jiu didn't know which one If the tendons are not set up well, don't eat hard and soft, give gifts according to the schedule, and love words according to the schedule.

Qian Rong is very annoying, but this is a prince under one person and above ten thousand people, what can he do with him?Later, I decided to go all out, anyway, I only saw each other once a day, and the trouble was only for a while.

However, soon, Qian Rong discovered that his silent forbearance and concession made Zhuang Jiu happily go one step further.

One day, Qian Rong was discussing cooperation matters with the owner of a time-honored jade shop in Huangcheng. Zhuang Jiu walked in leisurely, walked up to Qian Rong very naturally, greeted the boss with a smile, and then said no. Interrupting their discussion, he went to the boss's private storage room and picked out several objects for Qian Rong to choose.

Zhuang Jiu was full of smiles. The boss walked a lot and saw a lot of things. He didn't have any special reaction, but he was also full of smiles.Only Qian Rong, while still keeping his expression on his face, looked at Zhuang Jiu's expectant eyes and clenched his fists, after all, he randomly took one of those rare treasures.

Zhuang Jiuxi smiled, paid the money to the boss, whispered a few words of love in Qian Rong's ear, and then left lightly, leaving behind the boss who knows how to be rude, and the expressionless but almost crushed boss. Qian Rong with precious jade in his hand.

So, no matter when, where, and what Qian Rong does in the future, Zhuang Jiu will always appear by his side, looking at him with eyes that are so sincere that they are dripping water, as if he will never see anyone else again. He would send some sincere gifts, sometimes he said that he just wanted to see him, and said those self-important words that made ordinary people feel ashamed, regardless of who was standing in front of him or not.

When the two gossip-goers had finished laughing with their stomachs in their arms, Qian Rong looked at them angrily: "Since you have praised the Nine Kings so much, why don't you go talk to him next. If you can Looking at each other, it would be a beautiful thing to achieve a marriage between Yinsong Castle and Nine Princes' Mansion."

││In the future, when Xiaoqian recalled this sentence, he hated himself very much. No one knew what he said.

"Where is it, Xiaoqian's words are wrong." Mu Xiu waved his hand, "Fate is not about business, can it be continued with another person?"

"That's right!" Gongsun Ji agreed.

Qian Rong looked at them angrily, feeling very depressed that one person could not speak more than two mouths.

"Okay, stop making jokes about Xiaoqian," Cang Mo said, "He has a thin skin, and when he fights with you, the furniture in this hall will have to be changed again."

Qian Rong rolled his eyes, the castle owner always liked to tease him.

"But speaking of it, it's not easy to handle this matter with a replacement." Cang Mo said, his tone became serious, "You have been fighting with the Nine Kings for a long time, and you must be familiar with his personality and style, plus your understanding of the imperial city, so You are the best candidate."

Qian Rong sighed slightly: "Yes, I know, Lord."

"The Nine Kings have always acted prudently, and they don't do nonsense, and it is rare to hear that he used black hands to deal with hostile people," Cang Mo continued, "Although he has done some dirty things to Silver Pine Castle this time, it must be It happens for a reason."

Qian Rong lowered his eyes slightly: "I think the Nine Kings' actions probably want to have something to do with us."

"What's the relationship?" Mu Xiu asked, "A hostile relationship? We have always been well watered and never offended. How could he come to enmity with us for no reason?"

"He returned all the things he took along, so naturally he didn't want to make enemies." Gongsun Ji said.

Qian Rong nodded: "So I think the Nine Kings don't want to form an enemy, but an alliance."

With Cang Mo's order to "continue to deal with the Nine Kings", he returned to the imperial city again. This time, not only the dignitaries and managers of the sub-office greeted him, but also the person who wrote "I haven't seen lovesickness for a long time" on his face. someone from.

This time, Qian Rong maintained a polite smile on his face, but Zhuang Jiu was not so easy to dismiss.

"You've been gone for half a month, you really want to suffer me." Zhuang Jiu said aggrievedly.

"Thank you, my lord, for remembering." Qian Rong said lightly.Qian Rong is naturally not an ordinary person. If Zhuang Jiu wants to see him being molested, it is impossible. After all, Xiao Qian is not a kind-hearted, pure and harmless person.

Seeing that his attitude was different this time, Zhuang Jiu knew that there was a change in his mind, so he took Qian Rong's hand "in a hurry": "I wonder if you miss me?"

Qian Rong narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at him with a half-smile at the corners of his mouth, and shook his head lightly: "My lord, please follow me."

Zhuang Jiu looked puzzled, and was politely invited to the study.

"Lord Nine," after the two sat down on both sides of the low coffee table, Qian Rong smiled, tactful and sophisticated, and said while pouring tea for Zhuang Jiu, "Although Qian Rong didn't know where he provoked you, but these days Since then, what you have done, my lord, is enough."

Zhuang Jiu stared at him blankly: "What are you referring to?"

"My lord knows what I'm talking about." Qian Rong still smiled politely.

Zhuang Jiu didn't speak anymore, just looked at him, there was "sadness" in his eyes, but there were more profound and unclear things in his eyes.

Qian Rong is not in a hurry, he intends to explain things clearly today.

"So, you thought that I was right to you," Zhuang Jiu sighed, "Is it fake..."

"Forgive Qian Rong for being dull, I really can't figure out which is good enough to be loved by the Nine Kings." Qian Rong said lightly.

"You are good everywhere, but you don't believe me," Zhuang Jiu shook his head, "Not good."

The corner of Qian Rong's mouth curled slightly, and he stared at Zhuang Jiu for a while, Zhuang Jiu didn't shy away from dodging, and looked straight back.

All of a sudden, Qian Rong managed the strength again with lightning speed, stood up and leaned forward, and put his lips on Zhuang Jiu's lips like a superficial kiss.

Zhuang Jiu didn't have time to react, Qian Rong had already left, sat back slowly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, a slight look of disapproval in his eyes, which was very well hidden, then lightly parted his lips, and said lightly: "The prince is only scared. , no surprises."

"..." Zhuang Jiu really didn't expect him to make this move. After a while, he completely relaxed his body, laughed, and shook his head, "Brother Qian's martial arts are very good."

There are not many people who can suddenly get so close to him.

"It's just that the prince was not prepared." Qian Rong smiled lightly.

Zhuang Jiu didn't feel offended at all, just smiled, didn't speak for a while, just stared at Qian Rong.Qian Rong didn't frighten him at all, and let him look at him.

On the surface, the clouds are calm and breezy, but in fact the dark tide is surging.After a long time, Zhuang Jiu picked up the cup of tea in front of him.

Qian Rong said: "The tea is cold, I'll change it for the prince."

"It's okay." Zhuang Jiu said with a smile. After finishing speaking, he drank it and put it down. "Brother Qian is also busy with affairs, so I won't bother you any more."

Qian Rong got up following Zhuang Jiu: "I'll take the prince out."

"Okay." Zhuang Jiu nodded.

After seeing off Zhuang Jiu, Qian Rong turned around and walked into the courtyard.It's already late autumn, and the branches and leaves have fallen clean, leaving only the towering branches facing the sky.Qian Rong stopped in the front yard to look at it for a while, then smiled and walked towards the study.

No matter who the Nine Kings were, they laughed and cursed, but it was just for the world to see. The so-called sincerity is also a powerful acting skill.Although these days, what he did caused him a lot of trouble, but Qian Rong knew that he did not blame or blame him.People in the royal family have their own involuntary control.

Walking into the study, Qian Rong went to the short table, bent down to pick up his own tea bowl, it was already completely cold.Qian Rong put the rim of the cup to his lips, and sipped the bitter tea bit by bit.Then I tidied up the tea set in an orderly manner.

"The Nine Kings haven't come for a while." Zhang Lishan said after Qian Rong.

"You still want him to come?" Qian Rong glanced at him.

"No..." Zhang Lishan laughed dryly, not daring to say that in fact, these two people came and went to see each other, and everyone watched with gusto.

It has been almost a month since the "Ninth Prince's obsession with Qian Rong incident", and the two of them hardly saw each other during this time.

During this period, Qian Rong went back to Yinsong Castle again││At that time, Cang Mo was injured by his enemies in Shandong and was trapped in the deep mountains. He was also recalled and went to search for rescue together.In the end, Cang Mo was found. Fortunately, the young man who rescued him knew a little about Qihuang, and Cang Mo's health was fine. In the end, in order to repay the kindness of saving his life, he took the frail young man back to Yinsong Castle for recuperation.

Qian Rong and the others didn't have much communication with the young Su Sining, but after exchanging a few glances with each other, they knew that there would be no more peace in the backyard of Yinsongbao.But it was none of their business, so after Cang Mo had nothing to do, they each went to the area they were in charge of.Cang Mo thought that the Nine Kings would not give up so easily, so he came to the imperial city again.

"So, master, what kind of medicine are you selling in the gourd this time?" Zhao Xiaoqiang stood behind Zhuang Jiu, and accompanied the master to appreciate the red leaves outside the garden pavilion in the rustling autumn wind.

Zhuang Jiu bent his mouth slightly: "You always ask me everything, what's the fun in life, little guard Zhao?"

"..." Zhao Xiaoqiang was speechless.

"Ah, I was actually thinking that the Ninth Prince's Mansion has been low-key and silent for so long..." Zhuang Jiu said slowly, "Should I hold a happy event to relieve the bleak air?"

It's still bleak, the things in this mansion are not flashy on the surface, but all of them are real and precious things.

"What happy event?" Rao expressed disdain for his words, but Zhao Xiaoqiang still asked, "Could it be││"

"How about finding a master for the palace?" Zhuang Jiu asked with a smile.

"..." Sure enough││Zhao Xiaoqiang twitched the corners of his mouth, "Which girl is ﹃ lucky enough to get your heart?"

"You know, I was secretly kissed a few days ago." Zhuang Jiu answered the wrong question with a playful smile on his lips.

"..." Zhao Xiaoqiang wisely kept silent this time.

He is a secret guard. He is responsible for ensuring the safety of the Nine Kings at all times. Naturally, he will not let him out of his sight││cough, that one, it is rare for the Nine Kings to be deflated. He actually appreciates it of……

Zhuang Jiu looked at the red leaves rustling by the wind with a smile.These days he didn't bother Qian Rong any more, he was really caught off guard by being so generaled, he thought he was a lot more cautious than the world, but he still underestimated that person.So during this time, Zhuang Jiu was honestly reflecting on himself.

However, to his laoshizi's "noble and steady", Zhuang Jiu smiled and recalled Qian Rong's move, and was quite proud that he was not wrong││Qian Rong's heart is not what it looks like.

Although Jingzhou was careless, it also gave him a flash of inspiration, and the countermeasure came out like this││Touching his chin, isn't it just "playing hooligans", let's see who can outplay whom?

There was a staggering of toasts, songs and swallows, and people complimented each other with fake smiles on their faces.

In fact, Qian Rong didn't really like some kind of feast full of money smell and carnal desire.But since he was sitting in the head seat, these interactions were naturally unavoidable.

He guessed that Zhuang Jiu who was sitting across from him was actually impatient, as he could tell from the same eyes as his own.Yes, no matter how deeply you hide and how openly you smile, disgust is disgust.

I don't want to embarrass myself so much, but it's also out of their control.

After that time, the Nine Kings never came to him for "trouble", but the two occasionally met at some business banquets, and they treated each other with respect and courtesy, such as this time.

Qian Rong also maintained the perfect curvature of the corners of his face and mouth, holding a wine glass, and toasted with the shopkeepers who came to toast with him one by one.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but the Nine Kings would occasionally look at it inadvertently.It doesn't matter, isn't he also looking at him?Although the two of them had little contact during this period, they never let go of their concern for each other—both knew that the matter would not end like that, and Qian Rong was just waiting to see what happened.

After drinking for thirty days, some people present couldn't sit still, and began to play tricks on one or two girls in their arms. It was time to end the show and find their own happiness.

Qian Rong got up, greeted the host, said that he had a cold and drank alcohol, and had a headache, so he went back first.The host took care of him a few times before sending him out.

It was already winter, and the imperial city began to snow, but Qian Rong was a martial artist, so he didn't feel too cold.The restaurant is not far from the sub-office, and I strolled back in the courtyard, just in time to let off the smell of alcohol.

He didn't take two steps, but was stopped by the voice behind him.

The voice approached from far away, sincere and eager: "Xiaoqian! Xiaoqian! Wait for me!"

Qian Rong twitched at the corner of his mouth, turned around, and indeed saw a certain prince, who ran towards him in disregard of his image.

"Huh...huh..." Zhuang Jiu seemed to rush forward, grabbing Qian Rong's sleeve with one hand, panting, "Little Qian, why are you running so fast?"

"...My lord, what are you doing to chase me?" Qian Rong pulled back his sleeve without thinking about it, but was held tightly.

"I want to walk back with you." Zhuang Jiu smiled sincerely, "By the way."

Qian Rong wanted to refute, but when he thought that he was indeed on the way, he had no choice but to pull his sleeve again: "You let go, I won't run away."

"It's obviously faster than a rabbit..." Zhuang Jiu muttered, but let go.

Qian Rong pretended not to hear, straightened his sleeves, and made a "please" gesture.

Zhuang Jiu flicked his sleeves: "Let's go together."

"How dare the grassroots walk forward side by side with the prince." Qian Rong said.

"You dare to reject this king's affection, what else is there to dare." Zhuang Jiu laughed, half-truthfully.

Qian Rong had nothing to say, so he walked away with him in silence.

"Look how beautiful the weather is today." Zhuang Jiu looked at the sky and said.

"Yes, the sky is clear." Qian Rong agreed.

"Tomorrow will be a fine weather." Zhuang Jiu said again.

"Yes, there will be no clouds tomorrow." Qian Rong nodded, ignoring the heavy clouds above his head.

Zhuang Jiu grinned, looked at Qian Rong, and smiled so brightly in his eyes.

Qian Rong was on guard: "My lord, what do you want?"

"Just now you were inside, did you entertain on the surface, but you were extremely impatient in your heart?" Zhuang Jiu asked.

"...You are the same too." Qian Rong admitted that he was observing him anyway.

"Yes, I really hate these things." Zhuang Jiu looked up at the sky again.

Qian Rong thought that you are a prince, and no one will force you if you don't want to do these things, but he didn't plan to say it.

"Do you want to say, since I hate my rich body, why don't you go?" Zhuang Jiu asked with a smile.

Qian Rong didn't reply.

"Oh," Zhuang Jiu sighed, "I have to."

"Find out what to do in his place." Qian Rong said lightly.

Zhuang Jiu turned his head: "So I like you, you always know what I think in my heart."

"My lord is joking again." Qian Rong remained calm.

The two of them chatted one after another like this, and as they walked, the atmosphere was subtly harmonious for the first time.

Slowly, Zhuang Jiu deliberately slowed down, wanting to walk for a while longer, Qian Rong knew his intention and cooperated with him rarely.Soon they came to a fork in the road, the two stopped, it was time to say goodbye.

Qian Rong turned around and was about to say goodbye, but suddenly pulled Zhuang Jiu towards him, and then dodged away.

Just now, at the place where Zhuang Jiu was standing, three arrows were shot in unison.The arrow shone with silver light in the night, it was poisonous.

Hearing another slight sound, the two looked at each other, and jumped up at the same time. On the roofs around, there were more than a dozen men in black standing in ambush.Seeing that they could not succeed in one blow, they were discovered again, so they swarmed up, thinking that at least they could win with a majority.

The man in black rushed over, Qian Rong took advantage of the situation and drew out the soft sword at his waist, with a clear sound through the air, he flew to meet him.

Zhuang Jiu was not idle either. His martial arts were not as good as Qian Rong's, but he also carried a dagger with him, so he could barely fight.

The two of them didn't say a word, but they had a very tacit understanding.Back to back, make up for each other's dead ends.

The man in black moved fiercely, all aimed at Zhuang Jiu, vowing to put him to death.Qian Rong frowned, with an angry expression on his face—whoever was innocently implicated by an arrow while lying down like him would not look so good.

Qian Rong took Zhuang Jiu and fought with those people for a long time, but in the end he was no match for them in the chariot battle, and his physical strength gradually disappeared, and he felt strenuous.The windy and sunny sky that Zhuang Jiu spoke of also began to rain.These people are all trained, and they are vicious, so they can't be taken to the sub-office to avoid hurting the brothers of Yinsong Castle.And they were stuck in the direction of the palace, obviously trying to force Zhuang Jiu not to escape back to rescue soldiers.

A silver-white soft sword stirred up wind and water in Qian Rong's hand, but in the end the sword paused—in order to protect Zhuang Jiu, Qian Rong's right arm was cut deeply.

Surrounded by men in black in a circle, the circle gradually narrowed.Zhuang Jiu's clothes were also stained with Qian Rong's blood, and his face was very ugly.Qian Rong clutched his arm, frowned, and looked at the approaching person.

He bumped into Zhuang Jiu secretly, feeling Zhuang Jiu's puzzled response, Qian Rong smiled lightly and sneered.

Taking advantage of the men in black's slack in the offensive, Qian Rong suddenly switched the sword to his left hand, and still made a lot of marks on the sword, forcing a hole in the encirclement.Zhuang Jiu came over knowingly and took the lead to break through, followed by Qian Rong. In a fit of anger, the two jumped for several miles, from the south of the city to the north of the city, before finally getting rid of the group of people.

After making sure that there were no more pursuers behind them, the two stopped for a while. Qian Rongben was wearing light blue clothes, and now his entire right arm was stained black with blood. Zhuang Jiu carefully supported him and stopped in front of a private house.

After knocking on the door three short times, three long times and six times, the door opened. A very simple old woman was surprised when she saw them.

"My lord!" A few middle-aged men who were also defeated by simple commoners walked inside, and they were shocked when they saw Zhuang Jiu's body stained with blood, "Your lord, are you injured?!"

"It's not me, it's this gentleman." Zhuang Jiu helped Qian Rongjin to sit down in the lobby, "Go get the medicine."

"Yes." One person hurried away.

Qian Rong remained silent with a sullen face and frowning, firstly because of the pain and not wanting to exert any effort, secondly because of the cunning rabbit's three caves, it is not uncommon for a prince to have some hiding places in the imperial city.

"Little Qian," Zhuang Jiu looked at him worriedly and apologetically, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Qian Rong was slightly fascinated by the tired eyes, and did not answer.

It doesn't matter if he is contemptuous or rude, he has had enough—at least he is also the savior of this prince, isn't he, he is tired and tired, he just wants to heal his wound quickly and get a good sleep.

Naturally, Zhuang Jiu wouldn't blame him, but watched people bring hot water from the brazier and medicine box, and personally watched them clean Qian Rong up, sewed up threads, wrapped bandages, and put on clean clothes. Then he personally supported him and went to the bedroom.

Entering the clean and tidy bedroom, perhaps due to the dizziness caused by excessive blood loss, Qian Rong didn't even want to open his eyes, and fell directly on the bed.Zhuang Jiu sighed, stepped forward to take off his shoes, covered him with a quilt, lowered the curtains, and then got up and walked to the outer room.

The few people standing outside were strictly trained to keep silent about everything they saw.Zhuang Jiu went to the imperial concubine's couch and lay down, and only said: "Go and check."

"Yes." Those people replied, then turned and walked out.

The brazier in the room was in full swing, Zhuang Jiu pulled the quilt prepared on the imperial concubine's bed, closed his eyes, and just fell asleep.

The next day, when Qian Rong woke up, the sun was already high.Zhuang Jiu was sitting at the table. When he saw him wake up, he quickly put down the file in his hand and walked over: "Are you awake? Come and drink this medicine."

Qian Rong took the medicine bowl silently, drank it silently, and returned it silently.Then he sat against the head of the bed, still a little dizzy.

"If you still don't feel well, go back to sleep." Zhuang Jiu put the bowl on the table and came back and said, "I have sent someone to the Yinsong Castle branch to tell you that you are invited to be my guest."

"..." Qian Rong frowned, "Who did it last night?"

"..." Zhuang Jiu hesitated, "Knowing this will only make you more dangerous."

"You know I'm in danger, why don't you come here to provoke me, to provoke Yinsongbao." Qian Rong frowned, slightly displeased.

"..." Zhuang Jiu looked at the impatient expression on his face, curled his lips, "It's the Three Kings."

"Third Prince, your brother?" Qian Rong raised his eyebrows.

"En." Zhuang Jiu nodded.

Qian Rong didn't say anything for a while, he knew that the brothers in the royal family fought fiercely, but this was the first time he saw someone who wanted to put his own brother to death...

"You don't have to pity me." Zhuang Jiu seemed to see through what he was thinking, smiled and shrugged.

Qian Rong looked at him indifferently: "You must have been against the Three Kings at ordinary times."

"I've never done anything wrong to the point of killing him." Zhuang Jiu laughed at himself.

Qian Rong was silent again.Zhuang Jiu looked at him, then got up himself, intending to leave the bed and go back to the table to deal with the files.

But was stopped by Qian Rong: "Up to now, my lord, you still refuse to tell the truth and be honest with each other?"

Zhuang Jiu stopped, but didn't look back.

"To me, to Yinsongbao." Qian Rong's voice was cold, without any emotion.

Zhuang Jiu didn't answer.

"What exactly do you want?" Qian Rong continued, "What can you give back?"

Zhuang Jiu sat back at the table, first poured himself a cup of tea, then looked at Qian Rong, and said seriously, "I want to form an alliance with Yinsongbao."

A very peaceful and simple sentence, without any airs of a prince.

Qian Rong didn't speak, and listened to him continue.

"The princes born to the current emperor, the first prince's aptitude is dull. The emperor wants to find an heir among the other princes, and the focus is on the fifth prince and the thirteenth prince. The third prince is the closed disciple of the former right prime minister of the grandfather of the fifth prince, and he is a teacher of gratitude." Well, try to protect the fifth prince. I belong to the thirteenth prince, so I have always been at odds with each other." Zhuang Jiu said, "The three kings have spent money to win over power today. I can't fall behind, otherwise I have a lot to do with the thirteenth prince. People who are united will die without a place to die. So I want to find a powerful existence that can even make the current imperial court give way to three points, and form an alliance with it."

"Why did you do those little tricks?"

"Don't let the Three Kings know that I'm looking for backup."

"Those outrageous actions against me?"

"Confusion."

"Are you confident that Silverpine Castle can make an alliance with you?"

"Although Xiao Wu is extremely talented, he is treacherous and suspicious by nature. He is vicious and vicious, so he is not a suitable choice for the emperor." Zhuang Jiu slightly hooked the corners of his lips, "Thirteen, he has both benevolence, morality and intelligence, and is the emperor's favorite." Born to a noble concubine, his odds of winning are better than Xiao Wu."

Qian Rong didn't ask any more, just lowered his eyelids, as if he was thinking about something.

"Will you help me?" Zhuang Jiu smiled, "Anyway, you helped me yesterday, didn't you?"

Qian Rong resisted the urge to roll his eyes: "My lord, showing weakness and pretending to be pitiful will not impress me."

"..." Zhuang Jiu shrugged.

"I will report to the castle master." Qian Rong said lightly again, "But I can only do this."

"I'm already very grateful for you doing this." Zhuang Jiu smiled softly.

Two days later, Qian Rong's injury improved steadily, and he returned home.During the two days I stayed in the private house, I ate and slept every day, living a happy life.Zhuang Jiu never left, but ordered the secret guard to bring some business to deal with.

I don't know whether it was intentional or not, Zhuang Jiu behaved very close to the people, even being educated by Zhao Xiaoqiang's respectful language with sticks, he didn't feel annoyed at all—who told him to throw off the hidden guards to chase Qian Rong that day ?

After returning to the sub-office, Qian Rong did not take his word for it, and immediately wrote a letter to Cang Mo, and then rested and waited for a reply.

Then, the prince seemed to start to favor him again, and ran to the sub-office every now and then.Bring ginseng today, deer antler tomorrow, all the rare and high-quality medicines are sent here, and I am dumbfounded when I see the score, and I sigh that he is very lucky to be valued by the Nine Kings.

It's not that Qian Rong didn't stop him, it's the same as before, first he smiled, then turned serious, then slightly annoyed, then severely.Zhuang Jiu just stared at him with his naturally sincere eyes, as if he was a child who didn't know what mistake he had made.Then Qian Rong finally couldn't hold it anymore, and broke the jar again...

You gave it to you, so I don’t need it, can’t I?

But those people in the sub-office were bribed by Zhuang Jiu somehow, causing Qian Rong to be fed tonic medicine three times a day and supper.

Not only did he send things, but Zhuang Jiu also spent more and more time in the sub-office every day. When one day he came with official files and worked in Qian Rong's study unceremoniously, Qian Rong finally endured the pain. Unable to stop, the corners of his mouth twitched and he clapped his hands on the big case table: "My lord, what are you doing?"

──Since he sacrificed his life to save the Nine Kings, his attitude towards Zhuang Jiu has changed subtly, even for reasons that he can't explain. Get up──Maybe it was because of that time, Zhuang Jiu, who had been lying to him for so long, was finally honest with him.

Of course he was very depressed, but Zhuang Jiu was very happy.

"Office." Zhuang Jiu looked up innocently, "The fragrance of tea is lingering here, it's very comfortable and pleasant."

"My lord doesn't need my reminder. This is the study of the Yinsong Castle branch, not the study of the Ninth Prince's Mansion, right?" Qian Rong glared at him.

Zhuang Jiu tilted his head: "Is there any difference?"

Qian Rong paused, straightened his body suddenly, hugged his chest, and stared at Zhuang Jiu with narrowed eyes: "My lord, is there any conspiracy?"

"How is it possible?" Zhuang Jiu opened his eyes wide, "Xiaoqian, you wronged me again!"

"..." Qian Rong resisted the urge to roll his eyes.

"Little Qian," Zhuang Jiu said again, "I've always thought...but never said..."

Qian Rong stared at him.

"I like you like this now," Zhuang Jiu looked at him with a very gentle tone, "Frank and straightforward, you don't take my identity seriously..."

Qian Rong looked at him and said nothing.

Zhuang Jiu smiled, and continued: "I've always wanted such a friend. I found him, and he treats me sincerely, and I treat him sincerely. I wish I could give him all the good things in the world, as long as he is safe and healthy."

... After "love at first sight" is "Taoyuan knot"?Qian Rong felt that Zhuang Jiu was so shameless, but he really couldn't do anything to him.

Flicking his sleeves, Qian Rong turned around and left the study angrily, leaving Zhuang Jiuyi with a big grin behind him.

Cang Mo quickly replied, to the effect that an alliance with the Nine Kings can be considered, but it must be fully prepared, that is, to find out the sincerity of the Nine Kings, and to confirm that the Thirteenth Prince is worthy of their "protection".

After looking at the letter for a while before putting it down, Qian Rong sighed. This was the result of foreknowledge in advance, but Zhuang Jiu started to play cards unreasonably again.

Originally, Qian Rong just thought that he was just having troubles and was pestering him to be good brothers with him, but gradually there were rumors that Jiu Wang fell in love with the counselor of Yinsongbao at first sight, and he was infatuated.For rumors, Qian Rong has never taken it to heart, or disdain to rest assured, but this time, his intuition is very keenly aware, maybe, what is waiting for him?For example, why does Zhuang Jiu's attitude seem not to be unhappy, but more like tacit approval?

But he can only let go of these nonsense first, because of Cang Mo's order, what he needs to do now is to deal with Zhuang Jiu, and the so-called deal with Zhuang Jiu, of course, is to have the two of them together.

Qian Rong began to discuss related matters with Zhuang Jiu.
