Yang Shu got on the car with his front legs, and Hou Zhou heard the sound of clothes tearing from his rear legs.
"Still stunned? Run, Zheng Bin alone is not enough for the prince to torment." The guard lowered his voice and winked at Hou Zhou.
Hou Zhou hurriedly turned around, staggered, and fell to the ground. He didn't dare to stay for a moment. He got up and rushed out of the circle of guards.
"Your Majesty, he has escaped."
The guard walked to the car window and said inside.
The swaying carriage stopped, and the guards retreated fifty meters, seemingly to make room for Yang Shu to enjoy.
In the carriage, Yang Shu returned Zheng Bin's coat to her and drank tea leisurely.
Zheng Bin's eyes were dark, "You want to tear it into pieces like this?"
"It can't be worn anyhow. It doesn't matter if there is more or less."
"This will also show the cruelty of this prince." Yang Shu said casually.
Zheng Bin turned his head and gathered his shirt.
Yang Shu glanced at her, "It's getting cold, but it's not enough to wear three pieces. You're just trying to seduce me. Is it reasonable for you to wear so many clothes?"
"I'll take it off when I leave."
"Are you guarding me?" Yang Shu crossed his arms.
"A lonely man and a widowed woman, there is nothing wrong with being careful. There is a huge difference in status between me and the prince, so I can only swallow the loss." Zheng Bin said calmly.
"Come on, can you swallow it?" Yang Shu took out the lotus leaf chicken from the drawer and said while peeling it: "You have your own ideas, and you are quite vindictive."
"When you have no other choice, you may be patient, but if you seize the opportunity, you will definitely have revenge and complain."
"There are very few businessmen who will suffer losses."
Yang Shu tore off the chicken legs and gave them to Zheng Bin, "You guys, you always like to put me at the top of the food chain, as if I'm some giant, ferocious creature."
"But as for your actual behavior, I don't see any fear at all, especially you, who didn't even blink when you killed me!" Yang Shu tilted his head at Zheng Bin, accusingly.
"Your Majesty, everything I give you is a fair price." Zheng Bin opened his lips lightly.
Yang Shu chuckled, "Whose leaves sell for a tael of silver?"
"You also said that I am a businessman and I don't do business at a loss. The price cannot be lower until it is cultivated in large quantities."
"I have to count the manpower and material resources spent." Zheng Bin took a bite of the chicken leg and started eating.
Neither of them spoke anymore.
"Your Majesty, His Majesty He has arrived." The guard called in.
"Bring it here." Yang Shu wiped his hands.
"You didn't leave any for me." He Xiangshu glanced at the chicken bones and said quietly.
"How can you care about this mouthful of food?" Yang Shu sipped his tea, "It's too late. If I want to fake it, I'll have my third game with Zheng Bin."
"You can't save anyone like this."
Yang Shu looked at Zheng Bin, "I saw him. He knows he can't get you. He has lost even one-tenth of his previous enthusiasm."
"I still remember that he stopped me in the middle of the road that day. It made me anxious. He cherished you from the inside out."
"But now..." Yang Shu shook his head.
He Xiangshu looked at him and said, "After receiving the news and considering the time required to weigh it, I have arrived as quickly as possible."
Yang Shu lifted the car curtain, looked at the sky, and stopped joking with He Xiangshu.
"You've been out recently and have a special feeling?"
He Xiangshu's expression became more solemn, "There are several more pairs of eyes staring in the dark."
"Really King Xi?"
Yang Shu tapped the table lightly, "I already have an answer, but I still have to confirm it. Does the Duke of Zhongguo want to find someone else to support him?"
"If I had that plan, it wouldn't be me who would come here." He Xiangshu said angrily.
Yang Shu smiled and said, "I still believe in the Duke of Zhongguo. That old guy hooked up with people from the Xiao Kingdom. Before I take control of the defenders in the north of Xinjiang, you must be slow in your actions."
"He won't kill him now, but you have to take care of it, but that's not necessarily the case."
"He colluded with Xiao Guo?!" He Xiangshu shouted in shock, then looked at Zheng Bin who was sitting quietly.
"Look at what Zheng Bin did. It's not her that King Xi is targeting. In terms of leaking secrets, the Zhongguo Duke's office is more likely."
"When you go back to talk to your father, pay more attention to the door and don't let anyone eavesdrop." Yang Shu said in a casual tone.
He Xiangshu frowned lightly, "You are particularly close to Zheng Bin, don't you think you are really kind to Long Yang?"
"You're so good at Long Yang!" Yang Shu laughed angrily at He Xiangshu's guess.
"Don't you say anything?" Yang Shu glanced at Zheng Bin.
Seeing both of them looking at him, Zheng Bin raised his eyes and said, "The prince is closer to me. The Duke of Zhongguo has a profound background, but you have not done anything for the prince."
"Rongchang Rice Store actually transported hundreds of carts of grain."
"Not giving means you can withdraw at any time, so no matter how good your attitude is, the prince will not get closer to you."
"Understood?" Yang Shu glanced at He Xiangshu, "What matters to me is always dedication. Of course, wealth and background are a bonus, but if you can't give up, this bonus will become a taboo."
"I also know that the bigger the family, the more leeway it will have and will not be completely tied to anyone."
"My prince has been very benevolent and righteous in his treatment of Duke Zhongguo."
He Xiangshu was silent. The He family did not show great sincerity. What Yang Shu wanted was to work together, not to fight in front while a group of people stayed behind and enjoyed themselves in peace.
"What does the prince want?"
Yang Shu blew tea, "Is this intended to be an equal exchange?"
"He Xiangshu, you are good at essays and martial arts, but emotionally, you are too indifferent."
"King Xi has murderous intentions towards the He family. King Ding's palace will notify you as soon as possible to ensure your safety. We will not ask for anything because of this, because everyone is in the same camp and should help each other."
"We are not a strong and peaceful country. The war we have to fight is harsh and difficult. You can't ask me to talk about everything. With your brain, you really don't know what can help me?"
"On a rope, don't worry about gains and losses until you reach the top of the mountain."
"If you win, you will be rewarded based on your merits. I will not treat the heroes lightly."
"If you choose this path, don't look back. It will lead to darkness."
"I know what you have done." Yang Shu smiled warmly at He Xiangshu.
During these days when he was out, Lu Yun was the only one who supported him. The Duke of Zhongguo was living his own life, just like a normal person. Why, just thinking about setting up the palace to bring them happiness?
He Xiangshu pursed his lips slightly, "The situation in the court is in turmoil, and King Xi is staring at..."
Yang Shu chuckled and interrupted He Xiangshu's words, "The first time, I tolerated your excuses, but next time, I will kick you out directly."
"A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, let alone the majestic Duke Zhongguo. Are you trying to tell me that you don't have any tricks behind your back?"
Yang Shu looked directly at He Xiangshu. The huge pressure made He Xiangshu breathe heavily. At this moment, he was even more flustered than when he first met the emperor.
