After the separation, the family had a lot of fish and meat every day, and the best was furious

Xiao Chu was trapped in the border town. The city gates were strictly checked before and he could not leave the city. But today, the inspection at the border town suddenly relaxed.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Chu and his two guards quickly slipped out of the city and headed towards the Xiro Palace.

Outside the Xiluo Palace, Xiao Chu waited outside for a whole day but failed to see King Xiluo. Until late at night, the guards around him advised him to go to rest first. At this time, a man came out of the palace.

"Seventh Prince, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Your Majesty invites you in."

As the prince of Dongxia Kingdom, Xiao Chu entered Xiluo secretly. Bater knew without hesitation that he was not sent by the old emperor of Dongxia.

The two countries signed a treaty to become friendly countries, but everyone knows that they actually do not respect each other in their hearts.

So when facing the seventh prince of Dongxia Kingdom, Bater first gave him a warning.

Due to the environment in Xiluo, the construction of the royal palace was not as good as that in Dongxia.

When Xiao Chu entered the Xiluo Palace, the Xiluo King did not treat him with courtesy. Instead, he sat on a high seat, handling Xiluo's state affairs with one hand and gnawing on a leg of lamb with the other.

Xiao Chu straightened his clothes and performed the Dongxia salute to Bater.

"The Seventh Prince of Dongxia, Xiao Chu, greets King Xiluo."

Bater glanced at Xiao Chu out of the corner of his eye, and did not ask him to excuse himself, and continued to eat his leg of lamb, while Xiao Chu also maintained the posture of saluting.

After a long time, Xiao Chu still didn't move. Bater threw away the lamb leg in annoyance and wiped the oil off his hands.

"Why is the Seventh Prince of Dongxia so embarrassed? If I hadn't seen you before, I wouldn't be sure if this is the real Seventh Prince of Dongxia."

Xiao Chu stood up straight. He was not wearing any fancy clothes, but fortunately, Bater didn't know his identity yet.

"There is no document from the King of Dongxia during this visit. I am privately seeking cooperation from the King of Xiluo. If you trust me, you will reduce your losses and even save the entire Xiluo."

Bater chuckled and looked at Xiao Chu with a haughty expression, as if he was looking at a child showing off in front of him.

"Hahaha... The Seventh Prince is so arrogant. He suddenly appeared to see me and made such arrogant remarks. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

Xiao Chu was very calm. No matter whether Bater insulted or belittled him, compared with his status, it was nothing.

"I'm not kidding you. I'm sure Your Majesty knows that Xiao Jingchuan and I have been competing for the position of Crown Prince.

Now I have lost, but not completely. The reason I came to Xiluo is that I think I can cooperate with you, the king."

Bater poured a bowl of kumis and tasted it slowly. He had also heard about the affairs of the Dongxia Kingdom.

Moreover, it was within his expectations that Xiao Jingchuan would become the crown prince.

"Xiluo and Dongxia signed a 20-year contract. What makes you think Xiluo will help you destroy this peace?

As for your Dongxia Kingdom, whether you are the crown prince or Xiao Jingchuan is the crown prince, what impact will it have on our Xiluo? Why should I help you? If I help you, what benefit will it bring to our Xiluo? "

We are not playing house. Everything should be based on interests. Otherwise, we would be acting like a hooligan.

"Helping me is helping Xiluo, and it will naturally benefit you, the king. If I hadn't come to the Xiluo Palace today, Xiluo would have been eaten up from the inside.

Then we will cut off your support and leave you with no power to resist.

Your Majesty, do you think this twenty-year peace treaty is truly peaceful? The East and West countries have already laid out their plans for the entire Western Roman Empire, but you haven't realized it yet."

Bater saw Xiao Chu's ambition, but he had to consider what he said.

They said Dongxia was plotting against Xiluo. How did they do that? Bater couldn't figure it out. The two countries traded, Dongxia people would come to Xiluo to do business, and Xiluo people would go to Dongxia to do business. There was nothing suspicious about either.

This matter concerns the fate of the country, so Bater had to take it seriously. The expression on his face became much more serious, and he spoke to the people outside the hall.

"Come here, take the Seventh Prince to wash up, change into clean clothes, and prepare some wine and food. This king wants to entertain the Seventh Prince of Dongxia well."

Xiao Chu clasped his fists and saluted. He knew that Bater was interested in what he said.

He followed the people from the Xiluo Palace to wash up. He hadn't washed up like this for a long time after running around for many days.

There were servants serving in the palace. Xiao Chu changed into Xiro clothes and returned to the hall again. Bater treated Xiao Chu to a fruit and barbecue banquet.

Seeing Xiao Chu dressed neatly, Bater looked satisfied, and then he thought of the seventh prince of Dongxia Kingdom in his mind.

"Seventh Prince, please take a seat and try our Xiluo's specialty kumis. It's quite different from your Dongxia wine."

Xiao Chu took a sip and was not used to it, but he nodded and said, "Good wine!"

Bater raised his hand and asked Xiao Chu to eat. Xiao Chu went to wash up just now. He had been thinking about what Xiao Chu said.

He simply couldn't see how Dongxia wanted to undermine Xiluo. Now, in his eyes, the ones who would benefit from cooperating with Dongxia would be Xiluo.

"Seventh Prince, you said you wanted to cooperate with me, so shouldn't I know your sincerity?"

Even though Xiao Chu was very hungry, he did not eat rashly. He used a dagger to elegantly cut off the meat from the lamb leg and ate it.

"Of course, Your Majesty knows what I want, and the chips in my hand are what you need.

I don't know if the king is in Xiluo, but have you heard of a merchant from Dongxia, Lin Ting?

Lin Ting?

This name sounds like a woman's name.

"He's just a businessman. Why should I take him to heart?"

Xiao Chu shook his head with hatred: "Your Majesty is wrong, she is not an ordinary merchant, she is a wolf, once she bites you, she will eat you alive."

Bater laughed. Even if a woman was good at business, how great could she be?

"Hahaha... The jokes the Seventh Prince told are not funny at all. Let's get down to business."

Bater didn't know how terrifying Lin Ting was. She was always able to survive in desperate situations. Even if Xiao Chu himself encountered the same situation as her, he would never be able to solve it as well as she did.

"Lin Ting is the real story I want to talk about. She was born into a peasant family and started her fortune by opening a teahouse. Later, she opened Huayan, Wushan Chili, and the largest clothing workshop in Dongxia.

I said that you may not know her name, but the things she makes are selling very well in Xiluo."

Bater's eyes unconsciously fell on the dining table in front of him, where there was a porcelain vase with the words "Wushan Chili" written on it.

This chili oil is very fragrant. He has been eating it for two years and really likes the taste.

Hua Yan is a lipstick, and is also very popular among the women of Xiluo. Some women even fight to get a rare lipstick.

Bater often heard about these things. Not to mention others, even his own harem had been using Huayan's products.

Even if Lin Ting is very good at business, what does it have to do with what Xiao Chu wants to say?

Battle: "Seventh Prince, what next?"
