After asking the villagers for the direction of the county seat, Xiao Yuan thanked him again and left with King Xuan.
Twenty miles was not too far. The two of them drove through the night and arrived at an inn in the city at midnight.
There is no night market in the small county town, and the streets are quiet late at night.
Being startled into sleepiness, the waiter at the inn seemed extremely unhappy: "Are you two guests going to stay in the hotel?"
"Of course." King Xuan said first, "Two upper rooms."
"Okay, please pay the bill first."
"Oh..." After hearing this, King Xuan subconsciously touched both sides of his waist, and then looked at Xiao Yuan.
The same was true for the latter, who kept digging around, but then burst into a wry smile.
It is normal for the two of them, the kings of a country, not to carry any money with them.
Seeing this situation, the waiter showed a look of disdain: "Tell me, you two, judging by your clothes, you are either rich or expensive. You don't even have money to stay in the hotel, right?"
He was right. Brocade was not something ordinary people could afford to wear at that time.
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan was about to check if there was anything valuable on him, but King Xuan had already raised his hand and pulled off the hosta on his head.
Her silky hair flows down, and her face is so beautiful.
She handed the hosta to the waiter and said simply: "Is that enough?"
"Ah?" The waiter at the shop was confused for a moment, then he realized what he saw, and quickly took it after seeing the hosta. After looking at it for a moment, he immediately changed his attitude and began to nod and bow, "That's enough, that's enough."
This thing, at first glance, looks like high-quality jade. Although the waiter in the shop doesn't understand it, he can still tell that it is worth a little money.
Tomorrow morning, I will pawn it to make up for the money in the store, and the rest will fall into my own pocket!
Therefore, the attitude cannot be bad.
But at this time, Xiao Yuan suddenly stretched out his hand and said: "Take it back."
"This...customer..." The waiter couldn't bear to do it.
Xiao Yuan threw a jade pendant on the table: "Use this to pay."
This was what he had just found. The waiter in the shop was reluctant to part with it at first, then looked at the hanging ornaments and suddenly showed excitement again. He hurriedly handed back the hosta: "Okay, okay."
Both of them belong to the king, so the price can be imagined.
Xiao Yuan took the hosta and handed it back to King Xuan.
The latter couldn't help but glance at him, feeling slightly heart-warmed. Because without the hosta, she couldn't hold her hair back, which was somewhat inconvenient.
After getting the hosta back, King Xuan said again: "We need hot water, washing and other things."
"I understand, I understand. I'll make arrangements right now. It'll be ready soon..." The waiter in the shop was smiling. He really got a big deal today.
After falling into the water, although his clothes were now dry, King Xuan felt uncomfortable all over and urgently needed a bath.
The two upper rooms are on the second floor of the inn, next door.
Half an hour later, after the two of them had washed up, Xiao Yuan also came to Prince Xuan's room and knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
"Who else could you say?" Xiao Yuan replied angrily.
"Oh..." King Xuan responded and opened the door after a while.
She had already taken care of her hair and wore classical women's hair accessories. After opening the door, she secretly glanced at Xiao Yuan, seeming a little panicked.
"What do you want to do?" she asked warily.
Seeing her look like he was going to break in and do something to her, Xiao Yuan almost laughed angrily. After entering, he looked at her for a week, and then he just lay on the bed without treating himself as an outsider. Put your hands behind your head.
"It's really strange. You said it's the same room in an inn, but your room smells better than mine."
"You!" King Xuan was very anxious when he saw this.
Xiao Yuan said directly: "I won't die if I lie down. I'm very tired."
"Tch! Don't be shameless!" King Xuan sat at the table angrily.
Xiao Yuan joked: "I don't know who is shameless and refuses to let go of others when they hug them."
King Xuan's face turned red: "You are bullying people!"
As she spoke, she glared at Xiao Yuan with her beautiful eyes, feeling ashamed and angry.
"Haha, just kidding."
Xiao Yuan found it interesting, paused and then said: "Okay Sister Wang, I came to see you for business."
"What's the matter!" King Xuan said angrily.
"Don't get involved in the war in the north. It will not be beneficial to Xuanguo." Xiao Yuan said directly.
After hearing this, King Xuan's face remained flushed, but he also calmed down: "The Qin army is attacking Liang at this time. What does Brother Wang want to do? He just wants to unify the north. After Huanliang is destroyed, where will Xuan Guo be?" Brother Wang actually said that it had nothing to do with Xuan?"
Unexpectedly, she thought so far, just to prevent the Qin army from attacking the country in the future, she had to stop the northern pattern.
Xiao Yuan frowned secretly, this queen is not simple.
He thought for a while and said: "What Sister Wang said is too far-fetched and unrealistic."
"Oh, Brother Wang is deceiving himself and others. Dare he say that this is not what he has in mind? In other words, Qin's current strategic intention is not this?" How could King Xuan believe it?
"Then according to Sister Wang, the pattern in the south is like this, and the pattern in the north is like this. The seven countries check and balance each other, right?"
"It better be so."
Xiao Yuan was happy: "Two of the nine kingdoms in the world have been destroyed. The kings are either trying to survive, fighting for hegemony, or just because of their temporary anger. The wars are endless. Why does Wang Mei insist on controlling Qin?"
"Because Brother Wang has made people see how terrifying the Qin army is." King Xuan also did not shy away.
Xiao Yuandao: "In the era of great strife, if Qin does not strengthen itself, it will be destroyed by other countries. What Wang Mei said is too biased."
"But Qin will attack the south sooner or later." King Xuan brought back the topic.
"Haha." Xiao Yuan laughed again: "Then Sister Wang, tell me, can your four southern countries maintain the current structure?"
"Wu Chu often wears a pair of trousers, and King Ling is an old fox. Sooner or later, he will use troops against Xuan Guo, especially King Chu. Sister Wang knows this better than me!"
This is something that could happen. When King Xuan heard this, he rolled his eyes and was silent for a moment.
Seeing this, Xiao Yuan struck while the iron was hot: "Once Chu attacks Xuan, the Wu army will move. At that time, Wang Mei will need Qin's help."
"Here, I can guarantee that if war breaks out in the south, the Qin army will send troops from Ningyang and go down the river. The infantry will land on the border of Wu State to help Wang Mei contain the Wu army! As long as King Wu dares to help Chu, I will We must lead the troops and march straight in!"
"Brother Wang, are you serious about what you said!?" After hearing this, King Xuan couldn't help but look condensed.
"Of course!" Xiao Yuan answered seriously.
"How can I trust you?" King Xuan asked slyly, because she had deceived Xiao Yuan verbally before.
"You have no joke." Xiao Yuan said, and then said deliberately: "Unlike some people who say that they are a little girl, a gentleman does not say anything and uses this as an excuse."
King Xuan's face turned red again, and he narrowed his beautiful eyes and smiled.
When she smiled, her beautiful eyes narrowed together, and her eyelashes were long and thick, which was very attractive.
Xiao Yuan looked helpless: "In addition, if Wu Chu wants to intervene in the northern war, I hope Wang Mei can restrain one or two of them so that they cannot send troops."
