"One hundred thousand?"

A voice with a hint of surprise sounded in the silent chamber.

Looking at the red-robed eunuch from before, Xu Yuan's eyes were a little solemn:

"My lord, this is no joke. Can the number of 100,000 be kept true?"

Wang Lingchi's tone did not waver at all:

"Natural fidelity, this information was personally transmitted by His Highness the Crown Prince. If the Third Young Master does not believe it, he can use the communication crystal underground in Mingxiang Garden to contact Di'an City."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan immediately smiled and shook his head:

"I don't need to worry about communicating with Yuanjing. I will confirm with the people in the house after this trip."

He doesn't understand the formation. Who knows if the communication circle in this place has a recording array for monitoring.

You must know that Lou Ji’s poisonous old aunt has done this kind of monitoring in the past.

After a moment of pause,

Xu Yuan knocked on the table in front of him and glanced sideways at the woman in white next to him:

"Qing Yan, what do you think about this?"

Li Qingyan thought for a while, looked back and smiled, with a smile on his lips:

"How else can I watch this? Isn't this just sitting back and watching?"

Seeing this bad woman's casual look, Xu Yuan rolled his eyes, but seeing how calm the other party was, he probably knew that there must be a gap in the other party's heart at this time, and said with a smile:

"There are 100,000 people, and you don't panic at all?"

"Heh..."

Li Qingyan chuckled lightly and did not immediately answer Xu Yuan's question. He turned to look at the red eunuch opposite and asked:

"I know this matter. What message does His Highness the Crown Prince want you to bring to me?"

The title has changed. He is called His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, not the Royal Brother.

The subtle change of title made Wang Lingchi's eyes twinkle for a moment.

Although the title Prince seems a bit unfamiliar, it also recognizes the status of equal transactions between both parties.

Thinking of this, Wang Lingchi glanced at Xu Yuan standing aside.

Xu Yuan met his gaze, smiled at him, and sat carelessly, showing no intention of leaving.

Li Qingyan didn't say anything to chase people away, he just waited quietly.

Seeing this, Wang Lingchi slowly bowed and said:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would like to tell His Highness the Princess that the soldiers recruited by His Highness the Second Highness are all members of the sect. Her Highness the Princess's bravery and prowess in fighting should be a thorn in her side."

Li Qingyan nodded when he heard the words, his temperament was calm:

"You just said this."

Wang Lingchi slowly raised his lowered eyes, and his soft voice was filled with a hint of sinisterness:

"Your Royal Highness, the grudge between you and the Second Highness should be irresolvable. If he is allowed to gain power, it may be difficult to shake his position in the north.

"Although the number of one hundred thousand is high, the Second Highness is not familiar with battle formations and does not understand military affairs. Our family is willing to provide the princess with all the help we can provide."

After the words fell, the secret room was silent.

The look in Xu Yuan's eyes seemed a little playful.

The words of the eunuch in red are quite straightforward.

Now the current emperor has a vague intention to support the second prince. When he returns to the court after completing his military exploits, he will surely be in full swing.

If he is enthroned in the Ninth Five-Year Plan, you Wu Yuan will not be able to escape even if they are liquidated in the future.

But since His Highness Wu Yuan and the third son of the Prime Minister can be assassinated, naturally the second prince can also be assassinated.

If something like a march breaks out, wouldn't it be reasonable to kill a commander and a prince suddenly?

A flash of light flashed in Li Qingyan's eyes, without rejection or agreement, he said softly:

"Li Zhaoyuan led the army into the northern border, it should be his father's wish."

As she spoke, she paused and said softly:

"But I know about this, is there anything else?"

When he couldn't get a reply, Wang Lingchi sighed in his heart.

He remembered what the prince had said to him in the communication crystal before:

[Ling Chi, my father is nearing his twilight years and his holy will is unpredictable. Although this move seems to support his second brother, he may also be his abandoned son.

[You don’t need to be too eager for quick success and quick gain on this trip. With Qingyan’s temperament, it is unlikely that she will agree directly. As long as you save her life, she will be on Gu’s side sooner or later]

Thinking of this, Wang Lingchi straightened his sleeves and robe and bowed deeply:

"Back to Your Highness, there is no other matter."

"Then go down."

Li Qingyan raised a slender index finger and pointed at the door: "I still have something to discuss with Changtian here."

Wang Lingchi lowered his head and spoke softly:

"Your Highness Wu Yuan, our family will be here at Mingxiang Garden in the past few days. If you need anything, please let us know at any time."

"Got it."

"I wish His Highness good luck in martial arts during this trip to the north."

Having said that,

Wang Lingchi bowed his head in accordance with court etiquette, faced Li Qingyan, took a few steps back, and then turned around and left.

"...."

With the departure of the eunuch in red, Xu Yuan and Li Qingyan were the only two people left in the secret room for a while, oh no, there was also 0.5 Luo Xiran.

Glancing at the indifferent-looking woman beside him, Xu Yuan asked softly:

"How about, are you ready to cooperate?"

Li Qingyan lowered his eyes, gently pressed the table, and did not answer, but asked:

"Changtian, what do you think my father's actions mean?"

Xu Yuan smiled without thinking:

"At this juncture, there are only four meanings in doing this kind of thing."

"Four kinds?"

Li Qingyan took a deep look at Xu Yuan and smiled brightly:

"Oh...my dandy consort actually reacted like this? Can you tell me about it?"

Xu Yuan's eyes flickered for a moment and he whispered:

"First, my father does want to support Li Zhaoyuan, but I think that his support for Li Zhaoyuan is most likely a gamble."

Li Qingyan raised her dark eyebrows and slightly opened her lubricated red lips:

"Betting?"

Xu Yuan’s voice was soft and slow:

"Although I don't want to admit it, Li Zhaoyuan's methods in the city are among the best. If I were your father, I would be lying if I said I wasn't moved.

"But you also know that his background is not good, well...compared with the mother of your three brothers and sisters, his mother was originally a palace maid, and the difficulty for a concubine prince to be promoted to the Ninth Five-Year Plan is basically the same as that of my family.

Those four sisters will be able to take charge of the prime minister's office in the future.

"Your eldest brother has been in charge of the country for more than ten years. He has been diligent and loyal to the people for more than ten years. Apart from the prime ministers in the court, the princelings are the most arrogant.

"The whole road to the court has been sealed off, so Li Zhaoyuan can only find another way."

Li Qingyan leaned gently on the back of the chair behind him, and crossed his long legs under his white robe:

"So, he can only use military power."

"Yes."

Xu Yuan nodded, staring at Li Qingyan's beautiful eyes that seemed to be hiding stars, as if he had something to say:

"Any regime without the support of soldiers and guns is empty."

Li Qingyan was unmoved at all and touched his fair and smooth chin:

"When you say that, it makes my eldest brother look stupid."

"No, no, no, your eldest brother is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart."
