Qu Chu carefully picked up things for Su Yingxue.

Qu Chu dresses up like a man himself. In the eyes of outsiders, such a scene is like a man buying gifts for his sweetheart.

Ning Youbei was speechless.

Do they usually act too much and really think they are "a couple"?

After paying the money, Qu Chu said to the clerk: "I'm a little anxious. Can you lend it to your house for use?"

The guy was in a little embarrassed.

Qu Chu took out another ingot of silver for the clerk, "It's really urgent, please give it a convenience."

The guy glanced at the inside, took the silver lien, and whispered: "Don't go around, come out quickly."

Qu Chu thanked him and covered his stomach and entered the inner room.

After a while, Qu Chu came out and thanked the man again.

After leaving the store, Ning Youbei and Su Yingxue didn't ask much, and went to the next store.

In this way, Qu Chu used the same trick more than ten times. Of course, there were more than one dozen shops they had visited, and some shops came out after looking in for a while.

Ning Youbei was full of boxes and bags of all sizes in his hand, and he was speechless: He was a dignified prince, but he actually became a servant.

He wanted to object but did not object.

Qu Chu kept pretending to be a stomachache and running to the toilet, and Su Yingxue kept choosing things and bargaining. In comparison, it was better to be a follower.

If he was asked to pretend to be a stomachache and run to the toilet, he wouldn't be able to hold his face down.

...

After returning to the prefect's mansion that night, Su Yingxue knew that Qu Chu and Ning Youbei had something to talk about, so she went back to her own room first.

Ning Youbei made a pot of tea first before sitting down opposite Qu Chu.

Qu Chu said to Ning Youbei:

"The more than a dozen shops I borrowed today are contact points set up by various tribes, and I can't get some of them. Among them, the contact points of the Tata tribe have the most."

So many?

"What do you think?"

Qu Chu thought for a while and said:

"We can't alert the enemy for the time being, and we will talk about it when we come back from each tribe.

If we can successfully win over the Haiqing tribe and Toy tribe this time, then after we come back, we will send all the contact points of the Tada tribe and drive the Tada tribe out of Haiqing City.

If we fail to win over the Haiqing tribe and Toye tribe, we will all be put in and drive all the people of the tribe out of Haiqing City.”

Ning Youbei slowly poured tea, wondering if the method Qu Chu mentioned was too radical?

In fact, Qu Chu thought more radically.

Regardless of whether Ning Youbei agrees or not, she will not allow all tribes to take root in Haiqing City.

She would tell General Fan about the situation she found today and let him find a suitable opportunity to take all the strongholds. Even if she wins over the Toye tribe and the Haiqing tribe, she would not allow their spies to stay in Haiqing City.

The reason why she didn't say all the thoughts in her heart was because she was worried that Ning Youbei felt that her methods were too fierce.

However, no matter how harmonious the relationship between countries is, others are not allowed to sleep soundly beside the couch!

However, she had already notified General Fan before and asked him to check Haiqing City, why are there so many dark spots there?

Ning Youbei put down the teapot:

"You previously suggested that the Dayu Kingdom and the Haiqing tribe marry into the Emperor's Kingdom. Since the Toyet tribe's position is more important, why not suggest that the Toyet tribe marry into the Toyet tribe?"

Qu Chu picked up a cup of tea and drank it.

“There are two reasons here:

First, Hai Lizhu and Hai Dongying have a deep relationship. If Hai Lizhu married into the Dayu Kingdom, Hai Dongying would definitely have some concerns, and the purpose of the marriage would be achieved."

Qu Chu said slowly:

"In addition, Doru, the leader of Toyer, is not so timid, but rather a timid man, he is profit-oriented and he will go wherever he has more benefits. Moreover, he has many wives, concubines, and children, and he has no particular deep feelings for all his children, and marriage cannot achieve his goal.

Since marriage cannot achieve its goal, there is no need for us to do this."

Ning Youbei also picked up a cup of tea and drank it slowly.

"What if Hae Dong-young disagrees with the marriage?"

Qu Chu naturally considered this point, and she was not anxious:

"He would naturally not agree to a marriage with Hai Dongying, but if the Kingdom of Dayu agreed to support him, provided him with gold, silver and weapons, and agreed to support the Haiqing tribe into a tribe that could compete with the Tada tribe, he would agree."

"Haiqing tribe and the Tada tribe have had a festival?"

Unexpectedly, Ning Youbei is quite keen!

Qu Chu looked at him without any trace, but his expression did not change much, and his tone was still faint.

"Well, Hai Dongying's grandmother was once snatched by the former leader of the Tada tribe. However, few people know about this, and even Batu, the current leader of the Tada tribe, may not be aware of it."

So?

Since such a secret thing, how did Qu Chu know? Ning Youbei wanted to ask, but he didn't speak tactfully.

When Qu Chu did not tell this matter in front of the emperor's brother, it means there is a hidden truth in this matter. Either the source of the news should not be told to others, or if this matter spreads, it will affect the "friendship" between the Dayu Kingdom and the Haiqing tribe.

Ning Youbei changed the topic.

"Do you trust Master Su very much?"

"Ying Xue? She has helped me a lot. Her contribution is also to the success of the army in recent years. But she is unwilling to take credit and does not want to be involved with the court, so I did not report it to the court."

Ning Youbei didn't ask anything else, he put down the teacup.

"Achu, you and I are about to become a family. Can you not be so unfamiliar with me? Just like you get along with Master Su."

Qu Chu didn't even move.

"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about me.

I know that the prince promised to marry me because he had no choice but to marry me. You should still be the same after marriage. I will not interfere with the prince. I will not object to whether the prince wants to marry a concubine or a concubine."

Ning Youbei paused his hand, then smiled slightly unintelligently: "Achu is so generous? Didn't you think I really want to marry you?"

Qu Chu looked at Ning Youbei right away.

"The prince is joking. There are Bingyu, Yingxue, and many soldiers who live and die together. I will not betray the Dayu Kingdom. As for the power struggle, I have never been interested."

Ning Youbei slowly poured a cup of tea for Qu Chu, "Since that's the case, why doesn't A Chu want to live a good life with me?"

This time, Qu Chu did not answer.

She felt that she had already expressed what she wanted to say very clearly. If Ning Youbei still wanted to pretend to be stupid on purpose, it had nothing to do with her.

...

**

After leaving Haiqing City, we arrived at the border after walking for two days. The army led by General Fan was stationed here.

General Fan was the brother of Mr. Fan, who was in charge of military affairs and logistics in the Qu Chu army. Qu Chu promoted him to this position. When he learned that the King of Chu and General Qu and his group had arrived, he led his soldiers to greet him in front of the military camp.
