Si He smiled at Shang Rusheng, and said: "Next time, if you have time to go to Qiguo, I will introduce you."

"Qiguo?" Shang Rusheng repeated what Si He said, a little puzzled, "Isn't Mr. Si from Chengguo?"

If she remembers correctly, Si He is the son of a certain minister in Chengguo.

Why is it helping Qi Guo to speak now?

"Lu Yu sought power to usurp the throne, killed the crown prince, and stole the Si mansion." Si He's tone was flat, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him. "I'm currently living under the residence of Prince Yu in Qiguo."

"King Yu?" Shang Rusheng raised her eyebrows. She is very familiar with this name, and she often heard it mentioned by Shang Ruqi before, "So you are on good terms with King Yu."

"Probably." Si He changed the topic and didn't talk about it again. "Prince Yu is just kind-hearted."

"However, Emperor Hong is so ruthless." Shang Rusheng played with his hair on his temples, and said with a smile: "A few days ago, I heard from my father that this Emperor Hong actually sent troops to garrison Yuezhou. On the site, do some tricks."

Shang Rusheng's words are true, and Si He also heard some news from Ji Wanghuai.It seems that not long after the new emperor took this position, he began to enlist troops aggressively, collecting people's fat for military pay.I don't know why Hongdi didn't want to understand, but he was so confident.

Although Si He didn't like Lu Yu, he still had some understanding of his character.

Being able to do such a thing, Lu Yu is no longer the wily and calculating person he used to be.

"Does the eldest princess want to go to Qiguo for fun?" Si He suddenly had an idea, and asked with a smile.

"Qiguo?" Shang Rusheng tilted his head, and chuckled lightly, "I want to visit, but Mr. Si's invitation seems to have other meanings?"

"Eldest Princess, why don't you make a deal with me." Si He looked at her with a smile, with calculations in the corners of his eyes and mouth.

Being stared at so straightly by him, Shang Rusheng felt his back trembling, "Tell me, I'll listen and think about it."

……

Since Guangbai's legs and feet became easier, he would go to the study to accompany Lu Yu to relieve his fatigue from time to time, sometimes to chat with him, and sometimes to share some troubles for Lu Yu for memorials.

As for Dingguo Gong's Xie Mansion, Lu Yu didn't pay attention at all.The reason why he used to get close to Ren Bohou was only to consolidate his power with the help of Ren Bohou's former ministry.For Ren Bohou, Lu Yu has always been contemptuous from the bottom of his heart, let alone Xie Ying, if he hadn't looked at Ding Guogong's face, he would not have entered Fengqi Palace at all.

Even though he has the title of Emperor Jing, all the officials in the court complain about him, and he understands this truth.But he can't wipe out everything at once, which is not good for his own hegemony.

Since Si He left, he has no one to talk to.

Several princes, as well as the former Princess Chao'an, were all exiled to counties by him. The only one who could catch his eyes in this huge palace was Guangbai.

"Master Shu is right." Lu Yu was very satisfied with Guangbai's remonstrance just now.He is still a little unfamiliar with these official documents, let alone taxes and labor, he is completely at a loss.Fortunately, Guangbai relieved his worries, which relieved his urgent needs.

"Your Majesty, I have one more matter, I don't know whether to say it or not." Guang Bai hesitated for a while, then bowed his hands and saluted.

"But it doesn't matter."

"Has your majesty thought about finding a few more magicians for my great inheritance, to consolidate the country and expand the territory?"

These words really hit Lu Yu's heart.Ever since he sat on the throne, he realized that being an emperor is such a simple matter, and it's not as complicated as he thought before.

And once people have a heart of contempt, everything in the world is nothing more than mediocrity in their eyes.

"Master Shushi is right!" Lu Yu's face showed joy, asking which emperor would not want to be able to rule the country by himself. "According to the intention of Mr. Sorcerer, are you going to start with Qiguo first?"

Lu Yu has an inexplicable hostility towards Qi Guo.

Now the whereabouts of everyone in the Sifu is unknown, and even the former princess has escaped from the Huanxi Palace. If it weren't for someone to help them, where would they have the ability to cover the sky.

For some reason, he recalled that he once met the second prince of Qiguo in Zuixi Tower, the other person looked disdainful, he didn't even know how to say hello, it seemed that he didn't take him seriously at all.

Unexpectedly, Guangbai shook his head, smiled slowly, "In my opinion, Linyuan is the best choice."

"Linyuan?" Lu Yu was a little puzzled, "But this Linyuan has always stayed out of it and never caused trouble."

Besides, Chengguo and Qiguo also rely on Linyuan Star Officials to submit the number of magicians in various countries and the forecast of natural disasters in the past five years. If Linyuan is angered, they will lose money.

Guangbai chuckled secretly in his heart, the new emperor is really not suitable for this position.

"Your Majesty." Guang Bai took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and said, "Now Qiguo Sorcerer is the winner, good at controlling flowers, plants and giant trees, and Linyuan Sorcerer is just a star official, not a big threat. What's more, now King Yu is leading the army in Qiguo, and the morale of the army has improved, while in Linyuan, it's a queen who supervises the country, so there can't be any disturbances."

He has just recovered now, he hasn't used his divine power properly for a few years, and he has regressed a bit. He knows that he can't beat Shang Qiguo's final name.

"only……"

Guangbai shook his head, and said with an inscrutable smile, "Your Majesty, if Linyuan becomes a vassal state of Chengguo, are you still worried that the star officials will not be able to predict natural disasters for Chengguo?"

"So that's the case." Lu Yu nodded, very educated, "Then follow Master Yishu."

Guang Bai responded quickly, but he didn't tell Lu Yu, and another reason was because of Si He.

Si He's whereabouts are unknown now, if he guessed correctly, the only people who saved him were people from Qiguo or Linyuan, and Qiguo and Linyuan have always had conflicts, the only possibility is Linyuan, maybe Sihe is already dead at this time. When he arrived at Linyuan, he was seeking the emperor's protection.

It's just that he didn't think clearly.

——Who was the masked man I met at Yongshen Palace that day?

***

Lord Linyuan is the younger brother of Granny Yaotai. He is kind and cowardly. He only listens to the emperor's sister.Seeing Si He, he received him very warmly, as if he had already treated him as a prince consort.

Si He was a little anxious in his heart, and kept winking at Shang Rusheng, who immediately understood and said with a smile: "Father, Aunt Huang invited me and Si He to sit in her palace today, it's getting late, If you go late, Aunt Huang will be angry again."

Granny Yaotai has never been married and has no children, and her favorite niece is Shang Rusheng.

Although Tomorrow was very strict with her, he often taught her many principles, and Shang Rusheng's swordsmanship was even taught by her.

"Then you go!" The monarch waved his hand at them, and said with a good-natured smile, "Don't make the eldest princess wait."

After leaving the palace gate, Shang Rusheng prepared to say goodbye to Si He.

It is true that the eldest princess invited Si He, but she only invited Si He.

Si He's hands are much better now, and he can hold things normally, but his muscles are still a little sore and weak, which may be a sequelae, and he will be fine in a few days.

"Sihe, I never understood." Shang Rusheng looked at him with his elbows in his arms, "Actually, you can escape from Linyuan after you get your hands back. No, no, you can avoid Linyuan. You obviously didn't." The imperial aunt thinks that she is so weak."

Is there any secret between Aunt Huang and Si He?

Although he couldn't move his right hand before, it seems that in the past few days, his lightness kung fu has already learned the true teachings of the emperor's aunt. Except for the emperor's aunt, maybe even Jun Yuan can't catch up with him.

"Don't think too much about the eldest princess." Si He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Could it be that the eldest princess felt that she wanted to covet her throne.

"I came to Yuan not only for my background, but also for a reason, doesn't the eldest princess already know?"

Shang Rusheng frowned and remained silent.

Seeing this, Si He said again, "Didn't the eldest princess already make an agreement with me?"

"What kind of reason is this?" Shang Rusheng laughed, and she said in doubt: "I just said that I promised to go to Qiguo with you to have fun!"

"There is one more thing, the princess will not forget, right?" Si He smiled without saying a word, and stood with his hands behind his back.

"This..." Shang Rusheng hesitated for a while before saying uncertainly: "I can't make the decision on this matter, everything depends on the will of the emperor."

"With the words of the eldest princess, I feel relieved." Si He said with a smile, "Besides, this matter does not cause any loss to Lin Yuan, but it is a good thing, don't you think?"

Shang Rusheng opened his mouth but didn't know how to answer the words. Why did this Si He look like he had a bad stomach? It seemed that he really regarded Linyuan as a cannonball.

Fortunately, she thought that the magician was well-dressed before, and it seemed that everything was an illusion.

"But you don't have to be angry, princess." Si He said very understandingly, "Didn't I give you an extra benefit, no money, free of charge."

"What's the benefit?" Talking about the truth, there is no opponent for Shang Rusheng in this palace, but since meeting Si He, she can only retreat steadily.

"The eldest princess is really forgetful." Si He shook his head, feeling very regretful, "Didn't I say that when you arrive in Qiguo, I will bring the ideal husband in your heart to you? , Has the eldest princess forgotten such a thing?"

Shang Rusheng stroked his chin and thought about it in his heart.

Not a loss.

"make a deal!"

After bidding farewell to Shang Rusheng, Si He went to Granny Yaotai's bedroom alone. He could hear the unhurried footsteps of someone behind him. It was Jun Yuan who had been protecting him in the dark.

As for the truth that Granny Linyuan was about to tell him, he actually had a guess in his heart.
