Just after midnight, Yang Fan, dressed in casual clothes, slowly walked into the Drunken Golden Hairpin Restaurant. Professor Jiu welcomed him politely, not recognizing him at all as the customer who had once disguised himself as a merchant from the Western Regions. Although businessmen had a good memory, it had been too long since that incident.
Yang Fan said, "I have an appointment to meet someone in the Sky Private Room."
Professor Jiu said, "Please come in. Your guest hasn't arrived yet. Please take a seat first."
Professor Jiu invited Yang Fan into the Sky Private Room. He placed four types of dried fruits and a pot of boiling water on the table, considerately closing the door for him.
As soon as the door closed, Yang Fan let out a long sigh. Coming here, he couldn't help but think of Tin Aino. Back then, they had worked together to scheme against Liu Junpan here. Now that he was sitting here, the past was still vivid in his mind.
Exotic Hu music came from outside. When he walked in, two enchanting Hu women were twisting their waists and hips on the stage, looking very charming. What Yang Fan thought of was Tin Aino's "Hu Xuan".
Wan 'er was the woman he deeply loved, and A' Nu was the woman who deeply loved him. But in the end, he was going to marry a third woman. The heavens really knew how to tease people. Yang Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He knew that Xiaoman was filled with bewilderment because of this, and it was obvious from her expression at that time. In his almost 20 years of life, he had encountered too many bizarre encounters, but as far as he was concerned, none of them were more bizarre than what had happened today.
Listening to the Hu music, he was lost in his thoughts. Before he knew it, the appointed time had arrived. Two people were talking to each other at the door. One of them was Professor Jiu. Professor Jiu laughed and said, "Please come in. This is the room. The guest you have an appointment with has been waiting for a long time."
Then, a slightly deep voice that was as gentle and magnetic as a flute said, "Got it, you may leave!"
As soon as he heard this voice, Yang Fan suddenly raised his head and looked towards the door in astonishment. As soon as the door was opened, a young Scribes was standing there, wearing a turban on her head, wearing a stone green Scribes robe, with a leather belt around her waist. Her lips were red and her teeth were white, her temperament was elegant, just like a gentleman from a noble family. She was none other than Princess Taiping in men's clothing!
Princess Taiping looked around and saw Yang Fan sitting cross-legged on the couch. She was immediately stunned and seemed extremely surprised. She stared fixedly at Yang Fan, and was slightly startled for a moment. Her eyes flashed, and she revealed a smile of enlightenment. She flicked the folded fan in her hand backward and stepped into the room.
Yang Fan saw that there were a few middle-aged men with big shoulders and round waists, fierce-looking faces, and no facial hair. They were all wearing dark-red martial arts clothes with arrow sleeves, and black, cross-horned hats. They were none other than the several women who were good at wrestling and sumo, who often accompanied Princess Taiping.
The door was closed again. Princess Taiping stood by the door with her hands behind her back. She gently knocked her folding fan a few times on the back of her waist. She opened her mouth and smiled. She leisurely walked over and sat opposite to Yang Fan. She smiled and said, "So it's you! So the person that Shen Mu fell in love with is you? Haha … I was confused. It should be you. Who else could it be? "
Yang Fan ignored her question and looked at her rosy white and delicate cheeks. He said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect that the person who asked me to meet would be you! Even if I see you now, in my opinion, that person shouldn't be you! "
Princess Taiping looked at him and said with a faint smile, "Why shouldn't it be me? Just because I am a princess? Haha, Princess, sometimes you are nothing! "
Yang Fan made a few gestures with his hands. Princess Taiping said with a smile, "Erlang, you and I don't need to verify anything. Is it you who can't recognize me or I can't recognize you?"
She put her hands on the table and leaned forward slightly. Her face revealed a touch of hatred. She said in a low voice, "Even if you turn into ashes, I won't recognize you as someone else!"
As she approached, a touch of faint fragrance seeped into Yang Fan's mouth and nose. Her snow-white collar revealed a touch of snow-white traces. Yang Fan raised his body without a trace and said with a sullen face, "Since you and I are the same, let's not talk about the past. Let's talk about serious matters!"
"Bang!"
Princess Taiping slammed her palm on the table and said while gritting her teeth, "What is serious business? What I want to talk about is serious business! You also know that you are in the wrong. You dare not argue with me! "
"Nonsense! What do I have in the wrong? Just because I didn't agree to be your gigolo? " Yang Fan responded with tit for tat. He suddenly went up to her. He raised his sword-like eyebrows and asked in a stern voice, "So you deliberately separated us, didn't you? I knew that you were not so kind! "
The two people's noses were almost touching each other. They were in a deadlock like this for a moment. Princess Taiping suddenly smiled sweetly and slowly sat back down. She said lightly, "Xiao Man is a beautiful lady. What are you dissatisfied with? Haha, Yang Fan, you are really capable. Even I have to admire you. Wan 'er is as pure as ice and as clean as jade. Unexpectedly … she gave all her affection to you! "
Yang Fan's hands grasped the edge of the table. The blue veins on the back of his palms were bulging. He endured for a long time and then slowly sat back. He gritted his teeth and said, "You and Wan 'er have always been friends. What did she do to you?"
"She didn't! You did! "
Princess Taiping couldn't bear it anymore. She pounced on him like a tigress. She stared at him with her phoenix eyes wide open. However, she immediately realized that she had lost control of herself. She quickly sat back down and put on a very elegant appearance. She said, "You are really brave. Fortunately, you two acted secretly. Only people like me could find out. Otherwise, if my mother knew about it, you two … Humph!"
Princess Taiping slightly raised her eyebrows. She charmingly glanced at Yang Fan and leisurely said, "You should be grateful to me. I didn't let you fall into deep trouble."
Yang Fan looked down in disgust and said in a deep voice, "I don't want to talk about these things with you. Let's talk about business!"
Princess Taiping covered her mouth and chuckled. She said, "Fine. I will talk to you about whatever you want to talk about. Anyway, you have never treated me as a princess. Since you only treat me as a woman, a woman should naturally listen to a man. Don't you think so?"
Her eyes and brows were enchanting. Yang Fan's face was calm. He pretended that he didn't see it. He said in a deep voice, "His Majesty originally intended to use troops in the Western Regions. However, Grandmaster Di and the others thought that the gains would not make up for the losses. They suggested to give up the Western Regions. Therefore, we cannot seek to cooperate with Grandmaster Di on this matter. The Wu Clan also strongly advocated to use troops in the Western Regions. However, the military power cannot fall into their hands.
We must promote His Majesty's determination to use troops in the Western Regions to recover the four towns of Anxi. At the same time, we must guard against the Wu Clan seizing the military power in the Western Regions! I brought a person with me. This person can prove that Qiu Shenji intentionally let the Tu Jue spies escape in order to urge the Imperial Court to send troops and destroy Lou Shide to seize the military power in the Western Regions. He also allowed them to take away important information from the frontier fortress. Based on this, we can topple Wu Chengsi's faction. It seems that you will have to take action on this matter? "
Li Lingyue gently shook her head. "That's not appropriate! Don't just look at how my mother became the Emperor as a woman. She doesn't like other women participating in politics. I've been warned by my mother more than once not to get involved in politics. Besides, my faction has just been established. Now is not the time for me to publicly bid farewell to the Wu Clan. "
Yang Fan slightly frowned. "Since it's not appropriate for Grandmaster Di to participate in this matter and you can't make an appearance, then who should do it?"
Li Lingyue replied, "Regarding this, I have discussed it with a few advisors and have come up with a foolproof plan. However, as to how it will be carried out, we originally had to wait for you to come before we could discuss it in detail. However, when I came, I didn't know that the person I was conspiring with was you. Now that I see that it's you, I immediately thought of a solution. "
When she was talking about matters in a serious manner, her expression was serious and she spoke with fervor and assurance. Yang Fan didn't feel disgusted. Hearing this, he couldn't help but slightly lean forward and ask, "What foolproof plan?"
Li Lingyue sweetly replied, "Naturally, it's a foolproof plan that ensures that we can send troops to the Western Region without losing military power!"
Yang Fan said, "I'd like to hear the details!"
Li Lingyue said, "Look, Grandmaster Di has the same interests as us in politics. We both oppose the Wu Clan's monopolization of power, so he is our ally. However, when it comes to the Western Region, his view is at odds with ours. Grandmaster Di is the current Prime Minister. If he disagrees with us, our power will be weaker. Once the two sides fall out, the Wu Clan will benefit from it. "
Yang Fan nodded. Li Lingyue saw that his attitude was finally not as bad as before. She was delighted and said, "As for the Wu Clan, in the long run, they are our enemy. Just based on the Western Region matter, they are our ally in sending troops, but they are our enemy in fighting for military power. Is there any way to make them work for us in both areas?"
Yang Fan frowned and said, "How is that possible?"
Li Lingyue mysteriously smiled and said, "Why not?"
Yang Fan said, "What's the plan?"
Li Lingyue proudly puffed out her chest. Although she was dressed in men's clothing, this puffed out chest still revealed the full shape of her chest. Yang Fan's gaze couldn't help but fall down and stare at the dried fruits on the table again.
Li Lingyue softly snorted and placed the four fruits on one side and three on the other. She said, "Let's not talk about the distant matters first. Let's talk about the present. Right now, the ones in favor of sending troops are us and the Wu Clan. The opposing side is only Grandmaster Di. If we can topple the Wu Clan … "
Li Lingyue took two plates and looked at the table and said, "Then it will be one on one. If we fight directly with Grandmaster Di's faction, the outcome will be hard to predict. Moreover, if we hurt our relationship, it will likely destroy our alliance."
Yang Fan stared at the two plates in her hands and said, "The plates in your hands represent the Wu Clan? Why are there two? "
Li Lingyue sweetly smiled and said, "They can be one or two. If we don't know how to differentiate, they will be one … "
Li Lingyue tilted one plate slightly and poured all the dried fruits on it into the other plate. She looked at Yang Fan and said, "If we separate Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi, it will be two plates!" As she said this, she tilted the plate full of dried fruits and poured half of them back into the other plate.
Yang Fan's eyes flashed and he seemed to understand something.
Li Lingyue also saw that he understood her meaning. She smiled slightly and placed a plate beside the plate that represented her side. She said, "This is Wu Sansi!" Then, she casually threw the other plate onto the carpet on the ground and said, "This is Wu Chengsi!"
Yang Fan took a deep breath and said, "I understand. We won't show ourselves, but will use Wu Sansi to get rid of Wu Chengsi. Then, we will join forces and instigate Wu Sansi to deal with Grandmaster Di in order to achieve the goal of sending troops. When His Majesty has made up his mind to send troops, we will join forces with Grandmaster Di to prevent Wu Sansi from obtaining military power."
Li Lingyue proudly puffed out her 'proud' chest and said proudly, "How is my intelligence compared to your Wan 'er?"
