Half an hour later, a Jinyiwei sent the letter to Wang Xiao.

"Your Highness met He Liangyuan...ha, it's interesting."

Thinking of this in his heart, Wang Xiao stood up and said to Chunning: "I'll go out."

He went out, but he didn't take a bus, and walked all the way to Tang Qianqian's residence.

Tang Qianqian had just returned shortly after she took off her men's clothes and changed into light clothes. She picked up the letter collected by Huazhi today and looked at it. When she saw Wang Xiao coming in, she raised her head and smiled, saying, "Are you willing to leave your little lady today?"

"There is nothing to be willing to give up." Wang Xiao said casually, sat down on her couch, and said, "Actually, I am not very familiar with her."

"If you are not familiar with me, you will still use others." Tang Qianqian said.

This sentence is quite inexplicable, Wang Xiao said: "Use each other."

"She needs me to help protect Zhou Yan. I need Zhou Yan's name to control people's hearts. She is a good partner..."

"Better than me?"

"You are different, you are mixed with your feelings."

Wang Xiao turned his head slightly and pondered: "Some things I didn't want to explain too clearly to you before, nor did I want to plan too far. But today I want to tell you clearly."

"Um?"

"I hope the world will be better." Wang smiled and said, "It's not that I have the ambition to manage the world and help the people, or regard myself as a Holy Mother and Son, but that I live in this world. Now this troubled time is too hard, so I want to end this troubled time."

Tang Qianqian sat down next to him and leaned her head gently over.

“A lot of people want to.”

Wang Xiao said, "I told you before that if you Ruichao can resist the Qing soldiers entering the pass, I may surrender. It's not that you are lying to you... But I know that you can't stop it. In fact, I only believe in myself."

"Um?"

"I hide this matter very deeply. Today your master exposed it. To be honest, I only believe in myself. I also want to be more humble and lower-key. But I also feel in my heart that all the people in the world are mung beans, and I am a soybean. It is not that my talents are much higher than others, but that no matter who changes this troubled world, I can't do what I hope. Only I can do it myself..."

Wang Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "I'm very arrogant, right? So, I never dared to speak up. I tried to pretend and pretend to be a guardian of Chu's room. When I talk to you, I also looked righteous."

"But in fact, I assisted Zhou Yan because he was young and easy to control. I refused to surrender to Ruichao because I knew that Tang Zhongyuan would limit my power."

"What do I want to do and how to do it. Actually, I am very clear in my heart. Building the Jinyiwei and copying nobles is for money and food; going to Liaodong is for fame and army; giving up the capital is for the purpose of letting Rui Dynasty confront the Qing Dynasty; defending Shandong, controlling the Jiaodong Peninsula, and then sending troops from Pi Island to invade the strong and helping the weak; not going to Jiangnan is because the aristocratic families are there, unlike Shandong that can make me drastic..."

"I occupied the land of the sea, grabbed pirates, acquired artillery; welcomed the Chu royal family and ordered soldiers from all directions. These were planned by my two brothers at the beginning. When they started planning, I said, "I have no sense of kingship." It was true and hypocritical. Although I didn't want to be an emperor, I was actually arrogant in my heart. Only I could build the historical direction I wanted."

"I'm so arrogant, so I never dare to speak to anyone. If I say it, more than half of them will be betray me. But your master is right. I'm deceiving myself. On the surface, it's humble, but it's actually... a soybean."

Tang Qianqian didn't know how to speak.

"Of course, many people may also know that Dong Jihe, Xia Xiangwei and others are not fools. Just hide things under this appearance, and it is very good to have fun. If you reveal it, it will inevitably be very troublesome."

"Tonight I told Zhou Yan that I would let go. At that moment, I felt really relaxed. In this way, there would always be, occasionally, and I would be shaken, thinking of surrendering or running away. But on the other hand, I knew that without me, he would not be able to do so, and I would not give up on the Jiaodong land. This place is very important in my next plan."

"Look, I'm so hypocritical. At that time, I thought over and over again, 'It's good to go overseas and not fight', but I've calculated it... This time, not only Meng Jiu was helping the weak and suppressing the strong, but choosing between us and Nanjing. I was also helping the weak and suppressing the strong, and supporting Rui Chao to suppress the stronger Qing Dynasty."

"Do you know what I'm more hypocritical? I think one day I might hurt Zhou Yan. Although I don't want to be the emperor, I don't want to do it at all. But I want to implement my ideas, and I can't guarantee that I won't hurt him. So I don't dare to touch Chunning. Sometimes I tell myself that doing this is because of you, it's just an excuse, and sometimes I will even cheat myself."

"These are hidden in the deepest part of my heart. I usually think I am a great person. Tonight, Meng Jiu almost saw through me... Haha, I was actually a little scared."

Wang Xiao looked out the window with his head raised and said slowly: "Exposing all this is indeed difficult for me to face myself."

Tang Qianqian was speechless for a long time.

These are actually completely different from her mental plan for the future of the two.

She suddenly would rather Wang Xiao tell her nothing.

Wang Xiao said slowly: "Actually, if I don't say it, you can guess it too... You just don't want to guess. You are working hard to unite Chu to fight against the enemy, hoping that one day we will live safely under the rule of Ruichao. As for me, I know Ruichao will be defeated, and I want to wait for you to be by my side at that time."

"But Meng Jiu understood it. He killed his father and did not allow me to integrate Jiangnan. After seeing him today, I thought that instead of asking him to tell you one day, I might as well tell you myself."

Tang Qianqian looked up at Wang Xiao, and his side face was faintly visible in the candlelight.

She whispered: "I know, I have always felt that I didn't know you very well... But you told me this, do you hope I will do it?"

"Accommodating with me, don't think about Ruichao and Chuchao, just stay by my side, is that okay?"

Tang Qianqian thought for a long time and suddenly smiled mockingly.

"Xiaolang and I are the same kind of people." She sighed softly: "Tang Zhongyuan is my biological father. My mother's family is a Huguang clan. He killed my mother's family and stole my mother. Later, he lost the war and left her behind... Later, he met his master and took me to Tang Zhongyuan. I didn't want to recognize him. But why did he recognize him as his adoptive father?"

"He treats me very well occasionally, and sometimes I deceive myself into being influenced by him, so I came out to do things for the rebels. But in fact, I also like power, and I want this world to follow my ideas."

She looked at Wang Xiao and blinked, and said, "You were going to marry the Chu Dynasty princess at that time, so I knew we were the same type of people."

"Xiaolang has his own ambitions. Although I was born as a woman, I also have his own ambitions... It is not that I am loyal to Tang Zhongyuan, or want to fulfill my filial piety to my father. But for twelve years, I have really worked hard. Try to change the rebel army and try to change the world. I have watched the rebel army become better with my own eyes, watching them no longer kill, burn, rob and rob, watch them learn to appease the people, have a name and a goal, these are also my efforts. I have worked so hard, although compared to your achievements, these may be just not worth mentioning in the future. But if you leave them easily and just go to Xiaolang, I will not be me."

"So, you have what you want to do, and I also have what you want to do. You might as well see who can do it in the end. If you are desperate one day, I will be your retreat... Of course, those are things to talk about in the future, at least at the moment, the two dynasties of Rui and Chu. All of this is still under my expectations."

The two of them calmed down.

Compared with Chunning, Tang Qianqian can make Wang Xiao feel more at ease.

After he uncovered the deepest thing in his heart, he buried it again, as if he had forgotten about it.

After a while, Tang Qianqian leaned against Wang Xiao's shoulder and seemed to be asleep.

But she closed her eyes and slowly talked about the information she heard from Chen Yuanyuan.

"There are two groups of Jiannu in Jinan City..."

"Let's check it slowly. It's less than half a month since my father entered Jinan, and most of them I'm still in Dezhou. It's normal that I can't fully control Jinan for a while, so I'll just sift it out."

Tang Qianqian thought about it and asked again: "Would you worry that I lied to you too if Yuanyuan treats Zhou Zhang like that?"

"I don't know how Chen Yuanyuan and his father got along."

"Master took action in advance this time, because you are concerned about you. You are so popular that everyone is staring at you." Tang Qianqian said, "Are you angry with Master?"

"It's angry, it's not angry. That's his position. He is the enemy of his father, not my friend's subordinate." Wang smiled and said, "Looking back, I can't protect my father at all. Before I entered the court, Meng Jiu arranged for Chen Yuanyuan to enter the palace, and after that, she did nothing. The problem is that she did nothing. She had too many opportunities to kill her father. In the capital, on the way to escape, in Laizhou, and Jinan, she would die whenever she wanted to do something. But she didn't do it, so I ignored her. After the battle in Zhangqiu, I thought about this for a moment, but... in the end, thinking that my father was quite pitiful, and I couldn't bear to transfer her away from him."

Speaking of this, Wang Xiao said again: "Someone has reminded me that I am too popular. But there is no way, I don't have time to hide my strength and keep a low profile. This time I was put on one, so I won't be treated as a target anymore. Zheng Yuanhua, Meng Jiu and others have been assigned for more than ten years. I have been in office for less than two years, so I can't expect to take the lead in everything.

If you fight for the world, you still hope that the other party will never make any moves, so that I can develop smoothly and smoothly? Look at Liu Bei's repeated setbacks back then. Others in the world are not fools. Zheng Yuanhua and Meng Jiu were determined to kill their father, and what should come will always come. It's like a group of people fighting. My martial arts skills are the lowest. If you still hope to not get beaten at all, you will beat others down. Then don't fight, just lie down and daydream."

"But your situation is still very dangerous. The four towns in Jiangbei may have sent troops. Even if I, Darui, don't send troops, it will be difficult for you to deal with it."

"This is too much. You Ruichao won't beat them for me."

Tang Qianqian said: "The adoptive father and his master are more afraid of you than Zheng Yuanhua."

"Um..." Wang Xiao nodded, thinking.
