"I heard that the big fool of the Xue family was kidnapped with two hundred thousand taels of silver~"

"Third brother, do you believe those gossips in the capital?"

"..."

"Lao Wu, the Xue family started out as a businessman. Over the years, they have indeed made a lot of money. According to my estimate, it is at least a million taels. If you are willing to give up the position of a concubine, those things are not worth it.

It’s all in your pocket~”

"Third brother, please don't come here. If business is so easy, how can I still get my turn? Besides, the daughter of a merchant wants to be a concubine. Am I being stupid?"

"Fifth brother, you haven't even seen anyone yet? Do you dare to be so sure?"

"Third brother, is this a human problem? Our father has the final say in our marriage. If we marry the daughter of a merchant, we will probably go crazy!"

In a luxurious mansion in the capital, two men in python robes were laughing and talking. One of them was the third prince Chu Ye, and the other was the fifth prince Chu Xuan.

As he spoke, Chu Xuan changed his words and said with a smile: "But I am willing to give the position of concubine to the one in Ningguo Mansion, I am afraid that he will not agree~"

Chu Ye glanced at the other party and said in a playful voice, "I heard that the little girl is not even ten years old now. You guys are not afraid of others' gossip~"

Chu Xuan pouted, "Third brother, don't tell me that you haven't thought about this~"

Chu Ye stood silently, thinking that he had naturally thought about it, but this matter could easily be self-defeating. He knew the situation in the capital very well now. The champion Hou Jiaqi made a blockbuster success. He conquered Northern Xinjiang some time ago, and the lingering charm is still there. Now

There is another large snow dragon cavalry, fighting vertically and horizontally, unparalleled in the world.

If we can get his support, the position is not far off, not to say it is certain. But now, the relationship between the two emperors Taikang and Mingkang is very tense. It is a sensitive time and it is not suitable to take the lead. The second prince Chu Qian can learn from the past experience.

They have always seen it in their eyes and remembered it in their hearts.

"Fifth brother, the little girl from Duke Ning's mansion, what is the real reason why the brothers are plotting against her? We must all know it, but they just want to build a bridge. Some time ago, the champion Hou Jiachu was on Jingxi Street, in order to

This little girl fought so violently that even the fourth-grade Shuntian Prefecture Yin was killed by him. In fact, she was telling others that this little girl was his reverse scale, and she would die if she touched it~"

"As for her marriage, it is estimated that Jia Qi will personally check it. If he can agree, let alone being a concubine, even the position of Zhengfei will be very cost-effective~"

"I heard that Jinling didn't know how cold it was, and the big snow dragon rode down to the south of the Yangtze River. Thousands of people formed an army and shocked the world. He is qualified to do so!"

Hearing Chu Ye's words, Chu Xuan also sighed softly. Indeed, Jia Qi, standing behind Xichun, was the one they really wanted to bet on.

"Third brother, do you think Jia Yu's Snow Dragon Cavalry did not arouse the fear of my father?"

Chu Ye smiled coldly, "How is it possible? In three or two days, an iron cavalry like that came down from the southeast of Liaoning and approached Jinling. Tens of thousands of people were directly buried by them at the bottom of the river. The Yangtze River is red and has not ended yet. Such a battle

His power is so shocking that even the emperor's grandfather is probably afraid of him, so how could his father not be afraid~"

"If it weren't for the reason for this incident, which was to put down the White Lotus Sect rebels, my father would probably have thought of a way to reorganize the Snow Dragon Cavalry by now~ It shouldn't be said that my father may have already had this idea in his heart, but Jia Qi is here

The prestige in the army is extremely high, and he cannot act without permission. Unless Jia Qi really rebels, once he is forced to rebel, the whole world may be shaken~"

Chu Xuan raised his brows when he heard this, and there was something strange in his eyes, "I'm not afraid of causing Jia Xi's rebellious mentality. If he really starts a rebellion by then, the capital is not too far from Liaodong, and the Snow Dragon Cavalry can't reach Jinling."

But if you want to come to the capital in three or two days, you may be able to reach the city gate in just one day~ No one wants to really face this invincible army by then~"

Chu Ye narrowed his eyes and said, "Fifth brother, you underestimate our father too much. Even if he really wants to recruit the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry, he will not be so direct. With my father's personality, there is no foolproof plan. He will not do it at all."

If you know how to take action, just like now, between the imperial grandfather and the emperor father, most of the time the father is tolerant. The father's character is really scary sometimes when he thinks about it~"

Speaking of this, Chu Ye changed his subject again, "It's just that Jia Qi has not been back in Beijing for a short time. We are not very familiar with him and can't understand his temper. I think my father is the same, so we have been in peace all along~

"

"Third brother, isn't it? Although Jia Qi's return to Beijing was short, many major events happened one after another. Uncle Versace and Fan Guo were beaten, the incident at the Renya Shop on Jingxi Street, plus the White Lotus Sect and the Jinling Zhen Family, could it be that

Are you still unable to determine a person’s character?”

Chu Ye sighed softly.

"Knowing people but not their hearts. Many times, the situation is really not like this. People's hearts are unpredictable and cannot be seen clearly by just one or two things. Especially when things are directed at him, we don't dare to act rashly. I still remember my mother and concubine.

As I once said, a horse’s power can be seen through a long journey, and a person’s heart can be seen through time~”

After he finished speaking, Chu Xuan's eyes paused for a moment, and the time was very short and fleeting.

In fact, regarding the affairs of people's hearts, and Jia Qi is like this, aren't they the same? And the battle for the throne has always been cruel, and there are many cases of fratricide. Even brothers may turn against each other and draw swords at each other.

See, even if the two brothers are talking here today, maybe they will fight each other when they meet again.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. The third prince's butler knocked on the door twice, opened the curtain and walked in.

The cold air from outside the door rushed in along the gap in the curtain, and suddenly swirled around the house, making Chu Ye and Chu Xuan's bodies unnaturally alert.

"Master, the matter has been found out. It was Ma Changqing, Chen Zifeng, and Shi Kaixuan who secretly sent people to spread the news, saying that Xue Pan had two hundred thousand taels of silver notes on him and spent a lot of money to buy the oiran's first night at Baoyue Tower. This attracted the attention of the interested party.

Someone spied on him and took advantage of his unpreparedness to do something evil~"

"As for whether Xue Pan has 200,000 taels of silver on him, we still don't know the truth. The person who did it is extremely sophisticated and hardly alerted anyone. The specific person has not yet been found out~"

When Chu Ye heard this, he looked thoughtful, and a hint of sarcasm flashed through his deep eyes. Ma Changqing and the other three thought they had done a perfect job, but if some people really wanted to investigate, they could escape.

!

Then Chu Ye asked again: "What actions are being taken by the Xue family now? Is there any movement in Ning Rong's second house?"

The housekeeper was stunned, as if he didn't expect Chu Ye to ask this, and he only replied respectfully: "This matter has not been investigated yet. If the master wants to know, wait a moment, and I will go back to investigate~"

Chu Ye nodded, waved his hand and said: "Go and check quickly, and also observe the movements of the Champion Houfu!"

The butler didn't say much, nodded solemnly, bowed respectfully, and walked out backwards.

Chu Xuan, who was on the side, looked strange when he heard Chu Ye's words. After a while, he heard Chu Xuan say: "Third brother, are you planning to sell Jia Yu a favor?"

Chu Ye looked through the window at some towering pines and cypresses not far away outside, and said meaningfully: "Let Lao Yang check the movements of the Champion Hou's Mansion, just to take precautions~"

"Actually, the main purpose now is to see the reactions of the Xue family and Ning Rong. There are too many eyes on the champion house now. Even if they really want to make contact, it is not suitable to go straight to them. And Ning Rong and Ning Rong are looking at each other.

The mansion is an excellent bridge!”

"It is said that the four major families of Jia, Shi, Wang, and Xue are closely related, and they are all prosperous and devastated. Now that something like this has happened to the Xue family, the Jia family will definitely not stand idly by, and there is also Ningguo Gong's family involved in this matter.

Jia Rong is involved, and the Ning Mansion cannot stay out of it~"

"If we establish a relationship with Ning Rong's second house, it will be much better if we contact Jia Qi again~ I asked Lao Yang to investigate the champion Hou's house. In fact, he just wanted to see if the champion Hou Jia Chu also knew about this matter.

, even if we really find out who it is in the end, the information will not be given directly to him, but to the Jia family~"

When Chu Xuan heard Chu Ye's words, he couldn't help but frown, and a look of suspicion appeared on his face. Then he asked: "Third brother, if Jia Chun is also involved in this matter, then the information we get will be given directly to Jia Chun

Wouldn’t it be better?”

Chu Ye kept looking out the window without turning around. His tall figure, knife-like profile, slightly raised corners of his mouth, tall bridge of nose, and incomparably deep eyes made Chu Ye exude a different kind of charm at this moment.

Then I heard him chuckle softly, "Fifth brother, don't be stupid, how can you directly give the information to the champion Hou Jiaqi? It's not sure whether he will want it or not. It's none of my business. Just hang up. This

Mr. Hou is very cold-hearted, and the Xue family has little relationship with him. Do you think he would be guilty of using a piece of unnecessary information to establish a relationship with us? When he first returned to Beijing, our brothers

He hasn’t accepted anything given as a gift, let alone now!”

"But the Xue family and the Jia family are different. I remember that the only male member of the Xue family is Xue Pan. If there is information, they will definitely not miss it, and maybe they will be grateful to us. Even the Jia family will not

If we refuse our kindness, then when we go to ask the two governments for help, with this favor, it will be better than others. Therefore, when giving things, it depends on the situation. To whom? How to give it? But

It’s all a science~”

Hearing this, Chu Xuan nodded thoughtfully, not to mention that his third brother was indeed right. If he gave something to Jia Qi, to a large extent, he would not accept it, but he would give it to the Xue family.

Or the Jia Mansion, the situation is very different. Comparing the two, which one is more cost-effective? It is obvious at a glance.

Looking at the confident man in front of him, Chu Xuan suddenly found that his third brother had become a little strange. In the court, his third brother had always acted like a modest gentleman who didn't like fighting. But now when he looked at it again, he felt a little strange.

It’s unfathomable.

Duke Rong's Mansion, Lixiang Courtyard, Baochai had just returned to the house with red eyes, when she saw her mother weeping secretly, and wiping the corners of her eyes with the handkerchief from time to time. She had already guessed what her mother was doing.

When Aunt Xue saw Baochai coming in, she started to cry and wiped away her tears, "My son, your brother has been kidnapped. He is the only male left in our Xue family. What if he gets into trouble again?"

How can I go see your father?"

Seeing his mother beating her chest and feet, feeling heartbroken, Baochai quickly suppressed the worry and anxiety in her heart, and comforted her: "Mom, don't worry now, brother Qi has already agreed to help with this matter, and he also helped analyze this matter before.

, My brother was not killed on the spot. To a large extent, it was not a vendetta. Being able to kidnap my brother proved that they were capable of killing him on the spot. Now that my brother was just kidnapped, the other party may have other desires. According to

Brother Qi’s guess, brother is fine now~"

After hearing Baochai's words, Aunt Xue quickly calmed down. Previously, she was so eager to love her son that she lost her control in panic, but now after hearing Baochai's analysis, she quickly calmed down. What her daughter said was right. If

If the other party is really one of those ruthless thugs, then the news sent back will not be that Xue Pan was kidnapped, but that he was killed. In this case, the other party may have something else to ask for. As for what he wants,

She already had a guess in her mind that the Xue family didn't have much else, so they could only seek wealth.

But then she remembered what Baochai had said before, and there was some surprise in her expression. Brother Qi, are you talking about Jia Qi? How come her precious daughter is related to this prince again!

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "My son, the brother you are talking about is the champion - Jia Qi, brother Qi?"

Baochai nodded lightly and replied: "Well, just now we were chatting and laughing with the fourth girl, Xichun, and Brother Qi was also there. It happened that Luliu went to call me. At that time, I was also confused and frightened.

It was Miss Lin who helped me with a trick, so I went to ask Brother Qi. He told me all this, and he also said that he would help with this matter, so that we must calm down and not trust other people easily, in case we step on it.

If you fall into someone else's trap, you will never recover~"

When Aunt Xue heard this, she sighed softly in her heart. It was strange that this was like this. She said why Baochai was so calm. It turned out that Jia Qi had intervened. After all, it was the Marquis who dominated the world who could calm down quickly and analyze it.
