The Pretty Wife of General Jinxiu Huanian

Chapter 95 Alliance Formation

Yunxi and the prince stood side by side in the spacious courtyard of the marquis's mansion. The sun was shining brightly, but both of their brows were tightly furrowed like twisted dough sticks.

Yunxi was dressed in a light blue dress, with only a simple hairpin pinned to her head. Her face was delicate yet filled with worry. She raised her head slightly to look at the prince and said softly, "Prince, we have almost found an ally now, but we still need to think carefully about this alliance. We must not rush it."

The prince was wearing a dark purple brocade robe and a jade belt around his waist. His eyes beneath his thick eyebrows showed courage and determination.

After listening to Yunxi's words, he nodded slightly, his eyes as firm as a stone, and said, "Madam, you are absolutely right. This matter cannot be rushed. We have to take it step by step."

Just then, Ling Feng came running over like a gust of wind, panting and almost falling.

He steadied himself and said hurriedly, "Your Highness, Lord Li, General Liu, and the wealthy businessman, Mr. Chen, are all waiting in the hall!"

The prince and Yunxi exchanged a glance, a hint of determination flashed in Yunxi's eyes, and the prince waved his hand and said, "Let's go meet them!"

As they spoke, the two of them quickened their pace and walked towards the main hall.

In the main hall, Lord Li, dressed in his official uniform, sat upright with a solemn expression. General Liu, dressed in armor, looked majestic and his eyes were piercing.

The wealthy businessman, Mr. Chen, was dressed in gorgeous clothes, showing his wealth and a shrewd look in his eyes.

The prince bowed and said, "I am deeply grateful for your coming."

Lord Li stood up and returned the greeting, his slightly weathered face full of solemnity, "Your Highness is too polite. The situation is urgent now, and we should discuss the important matters together."

He stood straight, and although his official uniform had some wrinkles, it could not hide his righteousness.

General Liu waved his hand and said in a booming voice, "Your Highness, if you have any ideas, please tell us directly. We brothers will definitely help you with all our strength."

General Liu had a strong build, thick eyebrows and big eyes. His beard trembled as he spoke, and he looked as majestic as a door god.

Mr. Chen also echoed: "Your Highness, as long as I can help you survive this disaster, Chen will do anything." There was a smile on his round face, his eyes narrowed into slits, and his gorgeous clothes were particularly dazzling.

Yunxi said from the side: "Thank you all, then let's start discussing the alliance." Yunxi pursed her lips slightly and looked at everyone with a firm gaze.

Everyone sat together and started discussing the details.

"In my opinion, we should first formulate a charter to clarify our respective responsibilities," said Lord Li.

He frowned slightly and tapped the table with his fingers, as if he was thinking about something.

General Liu slammed the table, "That's right. We also need to come up with a plan to deal with the prince's schemes and machinations."

He swung his strong arm, shaking the teacup on the table.

Mr. Chen touched his chin and said, "As for funding, I, Chen, can fully support you, but the transmission of this information is also crucial."

His little eyes rolled around, revealing the shrewdness of a businessman.

Yunxi nodded, "Master Chen is right, we have to establish a reliable information channel." She turned slightly, her eyes full of seriousness.

General Liu glared and shouted, "Hmph! Those princes are always up to no good, always trying to scheme against the prince. This time, we must teach them a lesson!"

Lord Li stroked his beard and said, "Don't worry, General. We must take a long-term view and not act rashly."

Master Chen waved his hands quickly, "Right, right, right, we must plan carefully and not fight an unprepared battle."

Yunxi continued, "I think we can first send someone to investigate the prince's movements. Only by knowing ourselves and the enemy can we win every battle."

The prince nodded, "Madam, what you said is very true."

General Liu stood up suddenly and asked, "Who should we send?"

Lord Li pondered for a moment and said, "I think it would be better to let one of my clever servants go. He has always been reliable in his work."

Mr. Chen said hurriedly: "You have to give him more money, don't treat him unfairly."

At this time, the noise outside the door became louder and louder.

"What's going on?" the prince asked with a frown.

Ling Feng went out to check and came back a moment later to report: "Your Highness, it's a few servants in the Marquis' Mansion who are arguing."

The prince's face darkened. "Take them away first, don't disturb our important matter."

The expressions of everyone in the room instantly grew serious. Lord Li frowned, the wrinkles on his forehead seeming to deepen. He stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Your Highness, this matter may not be that simple. We must handle it with caution."

Lord Li was thin, and the official uniform he wore seemed a bit loose, but he still exuded an air of elegance.

General Liu's eyes widened, his hands clenched into fists, and he shouted, "Your Highness, I think someone is deliberately looking for trouble. I, Old Liu, am not afraid!"

General Liu was a strong man with thick arms like pillars, and his cheeks bulged when he spoke.

Master Chen was rubbing his hands anxiously, his round body swaying and the fat on his face trembling: "Your Highness, what should we do?

Don't let this affect our grand plan!" His gorgeous clothes looked a little disheveled at the moment.

Yunxi frowned slightly, looked at the prince with a firm gaze, and said, "Prince, don't worry, let's calm down and think about the countermeasures first."

Yunxi has a graceful figure and a pretty face. Although her face is full of worry at the moment, she still maintains her dignified demeanor.

The prince waved his hand and said, "Don't panic, everyone. Let's continue the discussion."

Everyone sat down again and continued the discussion.

"Your Highness, this is just a rough draft. It needs further refinement," Lord Li said. As he spoke, Lord Li tapped the tabletop lightly with his fingers, his eyes focused.

The prince stood up and said, "Thank you all for your help. I believe that as long as we work together, we can overcome this difficult time."

The prince's eyes were bright, revealing determination and majesty.

Everyone stood up and expressed their determination.

Yunxi said: "Then next, we have to act according to the plan." As Yunxi spoke, his eyes were full of anticipation and determination.

As he was speaking, a servant came running in, "Prince, Princess, something bad has happened. A group of soldiers have come outside and surrounded the Marquis's mansion."

The boy was running out of breath, his face full of fear.

Everyone was shocked.

The prince's expression became stern. "Don't panic. I'll go out and take a look." The prince strode out with a tall and straight figure and an unquestionable aura.

Arriving at the gate, the leading general shouted, "Your Highness, we are ordered by the Emperor to search the Marquis' Mansion."

This general had a pointed face and a cunning look in his eyes.

The prince shouted angrily, "Is there an imperial edict?" The prince put his hands behind his back and glared at the other party with an aura that seemed to be able to overwhelm the other party.

The general took out the imperial edict and said, "Your Majesty, please read this."

The prince took the imperial edict, took a look at it, and thought to himself that something was wrong.

Yunxi also rushed over, "Your Highness, what should we do?" There was a hint of anxiety in Yunxi's voice.

The prince pondered for a moment and said, "Let them search. We have nothing to fear as long as we are upright."

The officers and soldiers rushed into the mansion and searched it extensively.

Yunxi followed the prince closely, frowning, staring at the prince's back with eyes full of worry.

She bit her lip and twisted the corners of her clothes unconsciously with her hands, as if this could ease the anxiety in her heart.

The prince stood with his hands behind his back, walking steadily and powerfully, his face serious and solemn. He narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze revealing a sense of determination and courage.

After a while, the officers and soldiers found nothing. The general had a dark face and could only take his men away while cursing.

The prince looked at their receding figures, snorted coldly, and said, "It seems that the prince wants to strike first."

His voice was low and powerful, with a hint of chill.

Back in the main hall, everyone began to discuss countermeasures.

General Liu sat down on the chair, his two strong thighs spread apart, and slapped the armrests with both hands. He said loudly: "Your Highness, we must speed up our actions and cannot sit and wait for death.

I, Old Liu, can’t stand this humiliation!” His eyes widened, his face flushed, and his cheeks puffed up like a toad.

Lord Li stroked his sparse beard, nodded slightly, and said slowly: "Yes, we must contact other allies as soon as possible.

We must unite all the forces we can and not let the prince gain the upper hand."

Yunxi stood aside, looking anxious, and said, "I'll arrange it right away." After that, she lifted her skirt and left the main hall at a quick pace.

Yunxi left in a hurry, and the prince continued to discuss with everyone.

After a few days, with the efforts of everyone, the alliance gradually became stable.

That day, the prince discussed the next plan with Lord Li in the study.

Lord Li leaned forward, approached the prince, and said in a low voice, "Prince, we now have a certain strength, but we still need to act with caution.

The prince is not easy to deal with, we have to proceed step by step."

The prince sat at the desk, one hand supporting his chin, and after a moment of contemplation, he said, “Well, don’t act rashly.

We must seize the opportunity and strike with one strike."

As he was speaking, Ling Feng rushed in and before he could even stand still, he hurriedly reported: "Your Highness, General Liu sent a message saying that he has discovered a secret base of the prince."

Upon hearing this, the prince stood up suddenly, a gleam in his eyes, and said decisively: "Okay, gather everyone immediately and prepare for action."

A fierce struggle is about to begin.
