Xianyu Infrastructure, I have a lot of troops in my hands

Li You straightened his sleeves and waited for Ji Yuanyi to digest the news before saying, "In order to confuse Tuoba Lie's sight, it is best to find someone who has a grudge against the old Jin. This way we can take advantage of the situation and not be easily discovered. Then we can use the terrain to deal with Tuoba Lie and prevent him from supporting the Northeast war. Then we will be more confident of taking down Uncle Wang."

"Make a feint to the east and attack in the west." Ji Yuanyi frowned, feeling quite troubled by such a complicated situation.

His Ji family has never been involved in court affairs, but this time they were put on the spot.

Li You dipped his tea in the water and lightly touched the place on the table that symbolized Yunzhong County. This plan involved many people and many forces, but this war was inevitable. Daxia urgently needed a victory to stabilize the people's hearts.

The two talked until the afternoon. In the end, Ji Yuanyi did not promise anything. He only said that he would discuss it with the elders of the clan. However, Li You knew that the Ji family would definitely do as Uncle Wang said. Helping them would also help themselves.

After Ji Yuanyi left, Li You took a carriage back to the Prince's Villa. Not long after he sat down, Bu Yu knocked on the door and said, "Sir, someone from the Princess's Mansion came and said they have something important to report."

Li You raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised. Has his aunt finished copying the Heart Sutra? If she didn't already have a consort, Li Xi would probably be the one everyone wanted to send to marry.

He rubbed his brows and waved to Bu Yu. After a while, a young scholar bowed and walked in: "Greetings, Prince!"

"Why is it you?" Li You had seen Jiu Zifu before. This guy came from a merchant family and had a sharp appearance. Jiu Zifu originally wanted to become a disciple of Prince Xiang, but Li You didn't like this guy. Unexpectedly, Jiu Zifu was so capable and did quite well with his aunt.

Li You frowned. Merchants are the best at scheming for personal gain, and they will do anything to get what they want. Even a glance at them would be offensive. He took a deep breath and asked, "Why did the princess send you here?"

Jiu Zifu quickly glanced at Bu Yu beside Li You, then calmly bent his waist even lower and said, "I am not here on the orders of the princess, right?"

Li You frowned and let out a light exclamation, then remained expressionless and waited quietly for Jiuzifu to speak himself.

"Your Highness, the princess has been exchanging letters with the capital frequently these days, so she hasn't been to the abode often."

The princess copied the sutras in the Buddhist hall of the monastery. Li Xi had to write the Heart Sutra herself, but if she didn't want to write, no one dared to force her to write.

Li You was upset. He was busy with a lot of things every day and didn't want to be disturbed by these insignificant things. He winked at Bu Yu, wanting to send him away quickly.

Jiu Zifu added, "The princess seems to have been frightened by something these days. She doesn't even go to the backyard often. She was furious last night. From what I heard, it seems to be related to Princess Zhaoyang."

He didn't dare to look up. The hall suddenly became eerily quiet. Li You stared at Jiu Zifu and suddenly smiled: "Jiu Zifu, you're fine." Now that the news from Kang Jian had spread, perhaps Li Xi had received the news. He didn't expect that his aunt would react so strongly.

"Come here, give him a hundred gold coins. This prince likes people who know the current situation the most. Hehe~"

Waving Jiuzifu forward, Li You looked at the man kneeling on the ground and quickly calculated in his mind, what could Li Xi do after learning this news? The eldest princess and Princess Zhaoyang had never gotten along well. Zhaoyang looked down on Li Xi's chaotic private life and usually only called her aunt for the sake of face.

But this time, with the royal women marrying off, many princesses and counties must be extremely panicked. If they join together, they can form a considerable force. But I don't know how their uncle the emperor will deal with it.

He was waiting for a good show, waiting for a fire to break out in Emperor Qi's backyard. Princess Li Xi was not a concern. After realizing this, Li You said calmly, "Keep an eye on it. It's best to find out what my good aunt is going to do."

Jiuzifu bowed and agreed, then followed Bu Yu to collect the reward money.

Walking on the road to the palace, Jiu Zifu trotted a few steps to catch up with Bu Yu, "Master, am I here in time this time?"

Bu Yu glanced at him without saying anything. This Jiu Zifu had easy access to the princess's mansion, so he spent some money to get in touch with him. Now that his master was going to do something big, he naturally couldn't make any mistakes in other places.

He drooped his face and said with a half-smile: "Do your job well and don't think about those trivial things."

How could he not know Jiu Zifu's little thoughts? He wanted to get close to the prince, but he didn't even take a piss to look at himself. He was full of the smell of money and was blinded by money. This kind of character can come when summoned and go when dismissed.

Jiu Zifu was not angry at Bu Yu's pouting, and continued with a smile: "The lotus pond is in full bloom recently, and the girls from various families are going on boat trips. Why don't you invite the prince to go and relax?"

Bu Yu frowned slightly: "You can't inquire about the whereabouts of the prince." He was domineering and his patience with Jiu Zifu had run out.

However, Jiu Zifu straightened his back, his eyes flickered as he said: "If you miss this opportunity, Prince, the beauty you have been thinking about day and night will have to go back to the north." He did not specify who it was, but based on the word "north", Bu Yu knew for sure that he was talking about Xie Xian, the lady of the Xie family.

For some time, Jiu Zifu has been paying attention to Xie's garden. The eldest princess suffered a great loss in Guanyuan, and she became more and more irritable towards her subordinates. The working environment was too bad.

He was already old, and was not able to be a lover, but he felt it would be a loss if he was only a small official in the princess's mansion. The eldest princess had an unpredictable personality, and the benefits she could give him were getting less and less. He, Jiuzifu, never did business at a loss.

He had been going through a very painful month. Later he found out that what Xie Xian had fed him was not some chronic poison. He was relieved, but after he figured it out, he became so angry that he vomited blood.

I have never suffered such a big loss before, so I dare not confront Xie Xian head-on, but it’s okay to feel disgusted a little.

Just then, after hearing the servants report that Prince Li You of Xiangwang had been refused twice when he requested to see the Lady of the Xie family, he became interested.

Yesterday, Xie Xian's half sister asked to go to the lotus pond to appreciate the lotus flowers and got the news.

He immediately went to Prince Xiang's palace to report.

The eunuch who had been so arrogant just now handed him the banknote with a stiff face and a gentle voice. Jiuzifu felt that the depression that had been stuck in his heart for a month was finally dissipated.

The two said goodbye at the door with smiles on their faces. Bu Yu was happy that he finally got good news. If what Jiu Zifu said was true, he would have to prepare well tomorrow.

Jiuzifu was also very satisfied as he touched the banknotes in his arms. He thought secretly in his heart that he was not doing this for the money, but purely for revenge against the lady of the Xie family. Then he changed his mind and thought, why not go and take a look himself tomorrow?

What if all the other ladies in the Xie family went, but Xie Xian didn't, wouldn't that offend Prince Xiang? I still rely on the prince as a backer in the future, so just in case...
