Chapter 217

Palace, in the study.

Nangong Huoyue was wearing a fiery red dress and was sitting quietly in front of the desk practicing calligraphy.

A head of long black hair, lazily spread between the moon.

That tall and graceful figure is looming under the loose long skirt; under the skirt is a pair of snow-white and delicate feet of a girl without stockings.

Her delicate and beautiful face still had an air of calmness, but not anger and dignity.

The wind blows through the window sill, bringing in the scenery in the courtyard.

The red curtains swayed in the room, and the fragrance of flowers overflowed.

A slim maid, wearing a moon-wiped gauze, was sitting on her knees, her head lowered, silently studying ink.

The slender limbs, the tender skin and convex figure looming in the tulle, as well as the snow-white jade legs exposed in the gauze skirt and the delicate jade feet exposed under the skirt, all add another dimension to this red room. A charming scenery.

The whole room was silent.

Not long after.

Outside the door, there was suddenly a sound of footsteps.

Immediately, Yue Wu's voice sounded at the door: "Your Highness, Mr. Luo is here."

Nangong Huoyue put down the wolf hair in his hand and turned to look.

Outside the bead curtain, a tall figure wearing a wide Confucian robe was standing there with a bow. Although he had not spoken yet, he gave off an aura of gentleness, wisdom and profoundness.

"Let Mr. Luo come in quickly."

Nangong Huoyue stood up, moved her long legs under the red skirt, and walked over to greet him personally.

The bead curtain made a sound.

Luo Qingzhou took off his shoes, bowed and walked in. He bowed his head at the door and said respectfully: "Greetings to Your Highness."

"You're welcome, sir."

Nangong Huoyue walked up to him with a gentle smile on her face. She stared at his face for a few times and said with a smile, "I disturbed your husband's study and preparation for the exam again today. I will apologize to you first."

Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and said, "I don't dare."

Nangong Huoyue turned sideways, stretched out her hand to support her and said, "Sir, please come in. I'm here to see you today. In addition to wanting to hear your wonderful stories, I also have a few questions that I would like to ask you. I hope you will give me your advice."

Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and walked in.

Nangong Huoyue glanced at him again, walked to the desk and said, "Sir, please sit down."

After Luo Qingzhou sat down, she followed suit, held the large sleeves of her robe, picked up the teapot, poured him a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "Sir, do you want to drink?"

Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and said respectfully, "I won't drink."

Nangong Huoyue put down the teapot and said with a smile: "It's good to drink a few cups occasionally. It is said that many of the masterpieces left by talented people were created after they were drunk. With your talent, you can give it a try."

Luo Qingzhou cupped his hands and said, "What story does Your Highness want to hear today?"

Nangong Huoyue looked at him calmly with her eyes, tapping her slender jade fingers lightly on the desk, as if thinking about something.

After a while, Fang said: "Sir, it's getting late today. I would like to hear about the beauty trap in the Thirty-Six Stratagems. Sir, do you have such a story?"

Luo Qingzhou was slightly startled when he heard the words. He glanced at the maid next to him who was studying ink with his head lowered. She was wearing a gauze, her moon was half exposed, and her jade muscles were looming. She was silent for a moment and said, "Yes."

Nangong Huoyue smiled and said, "Sir, please speak."

Luo Qingzhou stabilized his mind and said without squinting: "If the soldiers are strong, attack their generals; if they attack the wise, attack their emotions. If the weak soldiers are weakened, their power will wither..."

"Strong soldiers and generals with wisdom cannot defeat the enemy, and they must be prepared in advance. When we use land, we can use the lowest policy; when we use coins and silk, we can also use the lowest policy; only when we use beautiful people and lose our ambitions, we can make the best policy." , can turn defeat into victory..."

Nangong Huoyue said: "Sir, what you mean is that the enemy is powerful, has brave soldiers and wise men, so we can only temporarily surrender to him. Use bribes with benefits to dismantle his ambition, right?"

"yes."

"Then why are land, money, and silk all considered bad choices, while beauty is the best choice?"

"Your Highness, by offering land, this will inevitably increase the enemy's power. Just like the six countries competing to use land to serve Qin, there will be no good results; and using money, jewelry, silk and silk to please the enemy will inevitably increase the number of enemies. If you want to gain the enemy's wealth, you will be too cowardly and incompetent, just like the previous dynasty served Daluo Kingdom and Baihua Kingdom, and there will be no results. In the end, you will still be bullied and plundered; unique use Beauty traps are the most suitable, as they can weaken the will of the enemy general or even the leader of a country, weaken his physique, affect his emotions and judgment, and thus increase the resentment of his courtiers and troops. During the Spring and Autumn Period, King Gou Jian of Yue was defeated by Wu. Wang Fucha used the beautiful Xishi to please Fucha, making him want to enjoy himself and lose his vigilance. Later, the Yue Kingdom defeated the Wu Kingdom. There were many such examples in the previous dynasties..."

Nangong Huoyue held her breath and listened to him talk about the past and the present, and her eyes suddenly burned, staring at his delicate and confident face in trance.

The maid who was studying ink at the side couldn't help but raise her head and looked at the handsome and talented young man in front of her. Her eyes were watery, as if overflowing with water.

This conversation lasted for two hours.

Outside the window, the sun was setting.

Luo Qingzhou stopped talking, picked up the tea cup, and drank it all in one gulp.

Nangong Huoyue's eyes were still staring at his cheeks and dazzling eyes. After being stunned for a while, he came back to his senses, picked up the teapot, helped him pour tea, and said with a smile: "Sir, you are a great talent, I am Convinced."

After a pause, she suddenly added: "However, the examples given by the gentleman, those generals and kings are all men. Since ancient times, men have had a hard time with beauty, but what if it is a woman? A woman is a general, and a woman is... the master of a country. . Then how can the other party use the honey trap?"

As soon as these words came out.

The air in the entire study seemed to be suddenly stagnant.

There was silence for a while.

Luo Qingzhou cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, this is just a family opinion. It is only for your Highness's reference. It is not the truth, nor is it really useful."

Nangong Huoyue still stared at him with her beautiful eyes and said: "Sir, can you answer me directly? If the general is a woman and the king is a woman, then will the enemy's strategy be completely useless? If this The strategy is useless, does that mean that many other strategies used against men are actually useless against female commanders, is that right?"

Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and remained silent for a moment, then said: "No."

"oh?"

Nangong Huoyue narrowed her eyes.

Luo Qingzhou raised his head, met her eyes, and said: "Your Highness, the beauty trap is indeed used against male commanders, but if you are dealing with female commanders, you can actually use the beauty trap or other emotional strategies. As long as you are human, there will be Emotionally, whether you are a man or a woman, you will have physical needs and emotional needs, and you will have desires. As long as you grasp these, no matter whether the opponent's commander is a man or a woman, you will have the opportunity to use your strategy."

At this point, he paused, still looking at her eyes, and continued: "Your Highness thinks that a woman as the commander-in-chief may avoid many mistakes and may ignore many of the other party's strategies. This assumption is not true. If Your Highness If you really think so, you may pay a heavy price in the future.”

The atmosphere suddenly became more tense and depressing.

The ink stick held in the hand of the maid next to her was trembling slightly. She raised her head and looked at the bold young man in front of her in surprise.

There was silence in the room for a long time.

Nangong Huoyuefang smiled faintly and said, "Thank you sir for your explanation and insight. I will definitely keep these words in mind."

Luo Qingzhou retracted his gaze, turned his head, looked at the sky outside the window, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, it's getting late. It's time for me to go back."

Nangong Huoyue smiled and said: "Originally, I asked you to come here today because I wanted to say a few words to you, but now it seems that it is not necessary. I already understand your thoughts. But I still want to Let me ask you, sir, what is it for?"

Luo Qingzhou remained silent and did not answer.

Nangong Huoyue didn't ask any more questions, stood up and said with a smile: "Sir, I heard that you only have one maid in your house. You have helped me so much, and I don't have anything for you. Even if I want to give it to you, I don’t dare to ask for it, so I’ll just give it to you as a maid to serve you.”

As she spoke, she looked at the girl next to her who was studying ink.

The girl who was studying ink lowered her head and stood up slowly. Then she turned around and faced Luo Qingzhou. She suddenly untied the belt of Yueyaojian's clothes, and the gauze on her body instantly fell down, revealing a naked body. A perfect pink and attractive body.

Nangong Huoyue said with a calm expression: "Her name is Hua Gu, she is a saint from a certain sect in the Kingdom of Hundred Flowers. Her body is naturally fragrant, warm in winter and cool in summer. She grew up taking nectar juice since she was a child, and her whole body is pink and tender. It's sweet, even tears, sweat, saliva and other liquids are as sweet as honey. However, her lifespan is only twenty. Flowers bloom at the most beautiful time and wither at the most beautiful time. Sir, take her back. She also wants to have a home of her own and someone she can accompany. She is completely by my side. It's a waste. In fact, since the first time he came, her eyes have never left him, even across the wall and the curtain."

The girl lowered her head, her pink cheeks flushed.

Luo Qingzhou suddenly asked: "Your Highness, did you really trick and kill hundreds of thousands of surrendered troops from the Baihua Kingdom?"

Nangong Huoyue smiled lightly and said, "Sir, you can take her back and ask her, or you can ask Yue Wu, and they will tell you."

Luo Qingzhou didn't say anything more, bowed his head, and said with cupped hands: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but I have a wife and many maids at home, so I can only accept it with my heart."

"Your Highness, take your leave."

He didn't linger any longer and bowed directly to retreat.

The bead curtain made a sound.

He left the house, put on his shoes outside, and left alone.

When he walked to the courtyard, the girl holding a sword under the tree walked over silently and followed him with a cold face.

The evening breeze blows, and the courtyard is filled with the fragrance of flowers.

Luo Qingzhou suddenly turned around and asked: "Chanchan, when I asked Bai Ling, she said that as long as the eldest lady agrees, she can be my maidservant. What about you? Can you do it?"

The girl behind him suddenly stopped.
