Laughing, the host always wants to escape

Chapter 127 The Regent Has a Beautiful Girl in His Golden House (34)

Feeling the man's hand on his shoulder, Tang Cuo moved his body calmly, but he patted him twice as a warning, "Don't move."

Tang Cuo subconsciously tensed his body and whispered, "You are too close to me, I am not used to it..."

"Not used to it? Then start getting used to it from today." As he spoke, Mu Hanqing moved a little closer.

Tang Cuo curled his lips helplessly, then turned his head to the side. The cool scent of sandalwood filled Tang Cuo's nostrils, which made him sleep well.

The next morning, when Tang Cuo opened his eyes, Mu Hanqing beside him had already disappeared. He slowly sat up and said, "Xiao Ye, let's analyze the situation while there is no one around."

[Host, please speak.]

"As for me, I am a prince of the previous dynasty. Judging from Mu Hanqing's attitude towards me, he may have already known my identity."

[Why didn't he touch the host because the host was good-looking?]

"I can believe what you said about other people, but as for Mu Hanqing, it's impossible for him to do that. I always feel that he must have other plots and must keep me by his side." Tang Cuo supported his chin with his hand, "By the way, is there any special news in this plane recently?

For example, are there any surviving members of our family, preferably those who have studied the recent uprising?"

[So, it is true. The host is the prince of the previous dynasty. Your mother’s brother was a general of the Puyang Dynasty. He escaped from the massacre that year.

Now he is serving as a guest official in Libei Dynasty, trying to persuade the emperor of Libei Dynasty to send troops to attack Rong Dynasty. ]

"So how does my so-called uncle treat me?"

[Very good. The generals of the Puyang Dynasty are all loyal and brave. They are almost all loyal to your father and strongly support you to become the next emperor.]

"Then it makes sense. Now the people of Puyang are creating chaos, and my uncle is going to persuade the Libei Dynasty to send troops. Although the outcome of the war between the two sides is unpredictable, Mu Hanqing holds me in his hand, which is like an extra bargaining chip. This way, their chances of winning will be greater." Tang Cuo's brows were unconsciously twisted together.

[What does the host plan to do?]

"Let me think about it again..." Tang Cuo pursed his lips, "I need to test him again. If I'm wrong, it will be more troublesome."

On the other side, Xiao Chengyu looked at the letter in his hand with a cold expression, then crumpled it into a ball and threw it aside. "Wang Kai's conditions are really high. He asked for ten cities from us. What does he regard the cities as? Carp?"

"Zuo Xiang, calm down. Prince Rong'an has recovered now. Why don't we let him lead the troops to start the war? Why do we have to negotiate with the Li Bei Dynasty in private?"

"Li Wang Murongyuan is a very cunning person, otherwise the surrounding small countries would not have collapsed. He is the only one who can stand side by side with us. If we force a war, the central governments of our two countries will not be affected, but what about the people in the border areas?"

"So what is the left prime minister going to do?"

"I'm looking for someone to talk to and see if there are any other conditions we can afford. If that doesn't work, we can only go to war." Xiao Chengyu's eyes twitched.

"Yes, I will go find someone to prepare it right away."

"By the way, I heard that Prince Rong'an and Prince Huainan are about to get married?" Xiao Chengyu tapped the table with his fingers.

"Yes, I have also received the news. This matter was brought up by Prince Rong An."

"Where's the prostitute?"

"I heard that he injured Miss Guan and was whipped by Prince Rong'an himself. Now his life or death is unknown. The people sent to investigate also said that they have not seen him. Could he have already..."

"Impossible, Mu Hanqing always likes to play tricks like this, but it's okay this way, find a chance to invite that prostitute to our house, I want to treat him well."

"Yes, I will keep a close eye on Prince Rong'an's Mansion in the coming days."

"Well, go down." Xiao Chengyu waved his hand casually.

At the same time, away from the north court back garden.

Murong Yuan and Zhuang Mian were sitting in a stone pavilion nearby as if nothing had happened.

"Your Majesty, what are your thoughts?" Zhuang Mian's face was slightly tense. Although the man in front of him was only in his twenties, his eyes were full of madness.

"General Zhuang, you have to know that this dispatch of troops is not a decision made overnight. Every order I issue concerns the fate of my country from the Northern Dynasty." Murong Yuan's smile did not fade, "What I need is more bargaining chips, and you can persuade me to send troops.

You should know that the reason you can still see me today is entirely because I remember that you helped me when I was a hostage in the Puyang Dynasty. But you should know me better. I have never been grateful."

"Then I wonder what conditions Your Majesty wants?" Zhuang Mian pursed his lips.

"It's very simple... I want you, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Puyang Dynasty." When mentioning Tang Cuo, Murong Yuan's eyes showed a sincere smile.

"This... this won't do. Your Highness the Crown Prince is going to inherit the throne. How can he travel to a foreign imperial capital? Your Majesty, after all, it seems that our Crown Prince didn't make things difficult for you back then..."

"Yes, I know that, but I don't need anything else. I can send troops to help you, and I don't mind ceding cities and land, but Tangcuo must live with me.

He is still the emperor of your Puyang Dynasty, but he only reviews memorials with me. I don't have much patience, so I will cooperate with whoever can afford this bargaining chip.

I don’t care whether he is from the Puyang Dynasty or the Rong Dynasty.”

"Well...can you give me some more time to think about it?" Zhuang Mian sighed.

"General Zhuang, please go ahead." Murong Yuan raised his hand.

Zhuang Mian stood up, bowed, then turned and left.

Murong Yuan looked at the huge garden and a smile appeared unconsciously on the corner of his mouth.

Unconsciously, his thoughts went back to the time when he was a hostage. Murong Yuan's situation was different from others. When he was a hostage, he lived in the palace.

In a shabby villa in the imperial palace, he was ignored because he was a hostage and often no one even sent him food.

So, at that time he often went to the imperial kitchen to steal the delicacies prepared for other concubines. Once he was accidentally caught by the eunuch who was guarding him. He was ready to be beaten, but was stopped by the young Tangcuo.

The young Murong Yuan grabbed the dirt on the ground and threw it at Tang Cuo. He didn't understand. They were both princes, so why was his situation completely different from his?

After that, Murong Yuan often tried to make trouble for Tang Cuo. Tang Cuo was very kind when he was young, so Murong Yuan not only did not blame him, but later he made him his companion and went to study in the Imperial College with him.

"A Yuan, when you become emperor, you must invite me to visit your country." Young Tang Cuo smiled.

"Your Highness, you were also the emperor at that time. How could a ruler of a country enter another country's capital at will? This is very dangerous."

"So, you are dangerous to me too?" Tang Cuo looked at him puzzled.
