Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 11208

“As for the rules of ordinary magnitude, there are very few that have the ability to come up with more than ten rules at once.”

 “Compared with them, you are very competitive.”

 The implication was that he had guessed that in addition to the ten man-made rules Lin Yi had in hand, there must be more man-made rules in his hand.

  After all, it is impossible for anyone who is not a fool to reveal all their cards at once.

As for the reason behind it, King Zhao had no intention of asking about it.

Curiosity is curiosity. If he really wanted to get to the bottom of things, that would be over the line. Unless he didn't plan to cooperate with Lin Yi, he wouldn't do such a stupid thing.

Lin Yi’s eyes lit up.

The Rules Design Institute of the Prince of Chu's Palace was just the icing on the cake for other princes' palaces, but for him it was a timely help.

 This opportunity is rare. Once you miss this village, it will be difficult to encounter such a store in the future.

Lin Yi then frowned and said, "I'm afraid the Chu Palace may not be willing to make this deal with me."

The conflict between him and the King of Chu is there. Although there is no deep hatred between them, the character shown by the King of Chu makes it very difficult for him to obediently hand over his rule design institute to Lin Yi.

King Zhao suggested: "How about this. I, Prince Zhao's Mansion, will come up with ten artificial rules, and you will come up with ten more. We will jointly bid for it. If the bid is successful, the Rules Design Institute of Prince Chu's Mansion will be yours, and we will share the dividends in proportion, as you wish." How about the next one?"

 “This will give me a huge advantage, isn’t it appropriate?”

Lin Yi couldn't help but be surprised.

King Zhao smiled and looked at Zhao Feng beside him, and said meaningfully: "You may not think that I am a rough man, but I know a little bit about investment. What does investing in you mean to me?" It’s all a loss.”

Lin Yi blinked and immediately refused, saying openly and openly: "Since the king loves me so much, I will be disrespectful to you."

 “Okay, young people should be so cheerful.”

 King Zhao then added: "By the way, after the Rules Design Institute gets it, you can arrange a position for Feng'er. From now on, she will be the authorized agent of my Prince Zhao Palace."

Lin Yi nodded: "No problem."

Zhao Feng glanced at him secretly. Did you understand what it meant and you agreed immediately?

After finalizing the cooperation agreement with King Zhao, Lin Yi returned to the guest room to rest, and his thoughts immediately sank into the new world again, making cross-border contact with Guan Zhengxuan.

It is about the Chu Palace, so the most important chess piece can be used.

But before that, some preparations need Guan Zhengxuan's cooperation to complete.

After the contact was completed, even Guan Zhengxuan himself did not realize that Lin Yi was leading the entire infiltration plan, and he, the person in charge, became a logistical support.

But having said that, Lin Yi was able to establish a foothold in the Inner Palace so quickly. Just for this progress, Guan Zhengxuan, the logistics worker, was willing to work hard.

Not to mention that Lin Yi fell into the eyes of that god.

 The next day, Lin Yi appeared with King Zhao and opened the door of King Chu's Mansion in a grand manner.

This scene was quickly spread by interested people.

In just one day, the news of what happened in Prince Zhao's Mansion has spread throughout the capital area, and the intelligence departments of all major forces are working at full capacity, trying to find out the inside story.

 The most important thing is that they want to find out how much secrets Prince Zhao's Mansion still has.

Now King Zhao swaggered outside, with Lin Yi standing next to him.

The key is that they appear in the Chu Palace at this moment, obviously to buy the bottom. The meaning of external demonstration behind this is obvious.

Although Lin Yi was not welcome in the Prince of Chu's Mansion, King Zhao stood here and paid no less courtesy than he should, and finally welcomed the two of them in respectfully.

at the same time.

 A secret room in the Prince of Chu's Mansion.

 Bai Shizu was playing with his fan leisurely. Sitting opposite him was Chu Zhongyuan, the second-in-command in the Chu Palace and the most trusted uncle of the Chu King, Wang Zuotang.

In silence for a long time, Chu Zhongyuan kept watching his nose and heart, unmoved.

Bai Shizu chuckled and said: "Your qi-nurturing skills are indeed extraordinary, but now all the clues point to you. It is probably not practical to just pretend to be dead and get through."

Chu Zhongyuan said calmly: "The so-called clues given by Master Bai are all based on rumors and have no real connection with me."

"Yeah?"

Bai Shizu looked at him meaningfully and said: "The passing geese leave traces. Nothing that has ever happened in the world can be completely erased. You may wish to think about it carefully. In the interest of my safety, Can these matters of yours really stand up to the scrutiny of the Inspection Department?"

 Chu Zhongyuan remained indifferent on the surface.

 But after just a moment of hesitation, for a man like Bai Shizu, who is the best among men, he already got the answer.

In fact, both parties understood that from the moment that various seemingly fictitious clues were gathered into Bai Shizu's hands, both parties had entered the stage of open-card game.

Chu Zhongyuan calmly shook his head: "These clues of yours are untenable and cannot convince anyone, let alone my king."

“It all depends on people. How can you know something if you don’t try it.”

Bai Shizu had a playful expression that showed that the funeral was not too big for the funeral: "Actually, I don't need to hammer you to death. With the current situation in the Chu Palace, as long as the news that you are suspected of being an undercover agent is released, it will immediately fall into chaos. They are watching eagerly, waiting for the opportunity to make a move. It is hard to say whether your Prince Chu's Mansion can recover."

Chu Zhongyuan’s eyes suddenly sharpened: “What exactly do you want to express?”

He did not say anything stupid like that the Chu Palace and the Qin Palace were allies. At their level, it was clear that the essence of all alliances was a combination of interests.

 As long as the benefits brought by betraying the alliance are greater than the costs, loyal allies one second will immediately attack them the next.

 This is the truest human nature.

"Don't be so nervous. Our two families are allies after all. I still agree with continuing to work together."

Bai Shizu changed the subject: "But the good news should not flow to outsiders. Instead of benefiting outsiders in vain, your rule design institute might as well transfer it to us for temporary safekeeping. When the time is right, you can take it back."

Chu Zhongyuan reacted immediately: "You want to take advantage of the situation?"

The so-called temporary custody and other nonsense, whoever believes it is stupid.

Bai Shizu said sternly: "Don't say it so harshly. Allies just get what they need. It's not that dirty."

　　"Don't you think it's too ironic that you deliberately created this battle and then said this to me?"

Ch Zhongyuan snorted coldly and asked, "What price is your Qin Prince's Palace prepared to offer?"

Bai Shizu said: "We are willing to exchange the rules of offering sacrifices to heaven."
