The night was quiet, the room was silent for a while, King Qi picked up the teacup, took a sip, put down the teacup, but his eyes suddenly showed pain, hesitated, and finally said: "Chu Huan, you say...... You said that the father ......! After a pause, he finally said, "Do you say that my father will harm my heart?" ”

Chu Huan was stunned, and King Qi smiled bitterly: "Do you think my father will want me to die?" ”

"Lord Wang, where do you start with this?" Chu Huan frowned, in fact, he had always had such doubts in his heart, but naturally he couldn't say to King Qi, "The prince is the prince of the saint, as the saying goes, tiger poison does not eat children, is the prince ...... Is it thinking too much. ”

"Actually, I don't believe it either." King Qi smiled bitterly: "But I thought a lot along the way, you said that with the wisdom of my father, I knew that I would definitely not be the prince's opponent, and the prince would definitely harm me if he found an opportunity, but why did he leave me in the capital and in the hands of the prince when he was touring north?" ”

Chu Huan frowned, but he didn't know how to answer.

"The crown prince wants to kill me, just because he is worried that I will compete with him for the throne." King Qi leaned back in his chair, looking a little weak, "Then why did my father kill me?" Why does he want me dead? Could it be that he was bent on passing the throne to the crown prince, but he was also worried that it would be a disaster to keep me, so he left me in the capital and left me to be slaughtered by the crown prince? You say that tigers don't eat their children, so why did he do it? The crown prince is his son, and I ...... His son, too! ”

Chu Huan could only say: "Maybe the saint didn't think about it so much, he was just worried that the prince was alone in the capital, and many things could not be managed, so keeping the prince would help the prince first, and second, he could also experience political affairs." Although the prince is ruthless, the saint may think that the prince will still remember the love of brotherhood and will not murder the prince......! ”

King Qi smiled faintly: "Then he is betting on whether the prince is merciful enough?" With my life, to bet on whether the prince is a person who cares about brotherhood? ”

Chu Huan fell silent.

Regarding this matter, he had always suspected that there was a reason for this, and there were many signs that the emperor really did not seem to have the life and death of King Qi in mind.

As the king of Qi said, the prince is the son of the emperor, the king of Qi is also his son, the tiger poison does not eat the child, even if the emperor is old and confused, he will not take into account the life of his son, not to mention that the king of Qi is the queen, and the emperor has always been very fond of the queen, and once he was also pampered by his son, after the king of Qi has become an adult, the emperor still left him in the palace, and did not let him out of the palace to open the palace, but built a spectacular palace for the king of Qi outside the palace, All this shows the emperor's heartfelt affection for this young son.

The eldest son of the emperor died early, the crown prince was crippled, the third son of the king of Han was crazy, and he was a waste person, so it seemed logical to pass on his throne to his favorite youngest son, and many signs in the past showed that the emperor did have the heart of abolishing the prince, and now he suddenly entrusted the prince with heavy power, but put the king of Qi in danger, which logically does not make sense, Chu Huan doesn't know why the emperor has such a big change, and if it is said that leaving the king of Qi in the capital is to experience the king of Qi, Chu Huan only felt that this kind of experience was too cruel.

Seeing that Chu Huan didn't speak, King Qi could only smile bitterly, thought for a while, and finally asked, "Chu Huan, do you think I still have a chance to return to the capital?" ”

"Why does the prince ask like this?" Chu Huan said: "Of course you can go back to the capital." After thinking for a while, he said: "Everything is not clear, maybe after the saint returns to Beijing, the misunderstanding in the middle can be solved, and the saint may summon the prince back to Beijing when the time comes!" ”

"What if my father really wants to kill me?" King Qi leaned forward and held Chu Huan's arm, "If everything is really what my father meant, and he really wants to kill me by the hand of the prince, then even if he returns to the capital and summons me back to Beijing, won't I fall into the net?" ”

Chu Huan felt that King Qi's hand was very strong, and he knew that King Qi's mood was very complicated, maybe there was fear, but more of grief and anger.

Chu Huan is so shrewd, King Qi is just a child in front of him, King Qi asked like this, of course he knew the meaning behind King Qi's words, thought for a while, stared at King Qi's eyes, and said, "Do you remember when we were in Yunshan?" ”

King Qi nodded and said, "Of course, my friend is very good, but you are my only friend, and Yunshan's greatest gain is to make friends like you." ”

"I was originally just a young general under Governor Qiao, if I didn't know the prince, I might not be able to enter Beijing for the rest of my life." Chu Huan stared at King Qi, "Lord Wang, you promoted me to Beijing, this kindness, I will never forget in my life." ”

King Qi's heart was excited and warm, "Chu Huan, there is no need to say this, we are friends, so we should help each other." ”

"Yes, we're friends." Chu Huan also reached out to hold King Qi's arm, "But to have today, it's all thanks to the prince." Once in this world, a man who stands up to the sky and the earth, there are two things that must be done, otherwise he will not be blind! ”

"What?"

"Revenge must be avenged, and kindness must be repaid." Chu Huan's voice was heavy, "I only hope that the day I die, in this world, there will be grievances and grievances, without any regrets." ”

King Qi thought for a while, and finally said: "You are right, only by having two grievances can you go steadily." ”

"I must repay the favor of the prince." Chu Huan said slowly: "Now I can only promise the prince, I will do everything to repay the prince's kindness, if the prince needs to use Chu Huan, he will never give up!" ”

King Qi showed excitement, and even clenched Chu Huan's arm, just like a drowning man grabbing a plank, "Chu Huan, you...... Are you telling the truth? ”

"Lord, so far, you and the prince are already incompatible." Chu Huan said solemnly: "So as long as Chu Huan is here, he will definitely protect the safety of the prince." The prince's mood, I can understand, the prince almost killed the prince, the prince has a grudge against him, does the prince hope that one day he can return to the capital and take revenge? ”

King Qi listened to Chu Huan's words and understood, knowing that Chu Huan did regard himself as a friend, otherwise he would definitely talk about him left and right, and he would have been sharp for a long time, if he didn't regard himself as a friend, Chu Huan would never talk like this.

"Not bad." King Qi immediately said: "When I left the capital, I had already sworn that one day, I would return to the capital and take revenge!" ”

Chu Huan nodded and said solemnly: "I can understand the mood of the prince, but it is unrealistic now. ”

King Qi was stunned.

"Lord Wang, the current situation in the northwest, you have already known it, in fact, Xiguan is now facing a great predicament, Xiao Huanzhang and Zhu Lingyue are both wolf ambitions, wanting to dominate the northwest and become a veritable king of the northwest." Chu Huan Zhengse said: "To be loyal to the prince, first conquer the northwest, whether it is Zhu Lingyue or Xiao Huanzhang, they must be eliminated, otherwise no matter which of them becomes the king of the northwest, they will be based on the territory and become an independent kingdom separated from the empire." ”

King Qi nodded and said, "I understand what you mean." ”

"We are still too weak now, and if we want to take revenge, we need absolute strength." Chu Huan said in a deep voice: "The prince knows that although the saint has long had the heart to abolish the prince, why hasn't he made an order for a long time?" ”

King Qi listened to what Lu Haosheng had said to him, and said softly: "Is it because you are concerned about the military?" ”

Chu Huan nodded and said, "Yes, it is precisely because of the military." The four generals of the empire, Lei Guheng, the general of the Zhenguo, and the general of the Weiguo Chi Liandian, they all have a great friendship with the prince, whether they are princelings or not, they have firmly supported the prince as the prince from the beginning, and they also supported the prince to inherit the unification after a hundred years of sainthood. Even if the saint had an opinion on the prince at the beginning and had the heart of abolishing the prince, because of Lei Guheng and the red refining electricity, the saint still had some scruples. Chilian Electric and Lei Guheng are both founding generals, especially Red Liandian, sitting in Liaodong, Liaodong soldiers and horses, are all his cronies, even the Goryeo people, are extremely afraid of him, and now the strongest army in the empire may be the Liaodong Iron Cavalry of Red Liandian. ”

King Qi smiled bitterly: "When the crown prince was born, his father was still conquering the world, when he was very young, he went into battle with the army, he stayed in the armies of Chiliandian and Lei Guheng, and before the founding of the country, he had a friendship with them. After a pause, he sneered: "Many people know that they have a good relationship with the prince, and of course they want to keep the prince, which is also for their own future." ”

"The four great generals of the empire, General Yu and General Feng are no longer there, and the only ones left are Red Liandian and Lei Guheng." Chu Huan frowned and said: "These two people not only have a large number of soldiers under them, but they are also battle-hardened veterans, famous generals known all over the world, with these two people to protect the prince, of course the saint will not easily abolish the prince, and the prince should also understand that the prince's strength is stronger than we think." ”

King Qi let go of the hand holding Chu Huan's arm and clenched his hands into fists.

"So if the prince wants to take revenge, he must not be in a hurry, and this kind of thing is not in a hurry." Chu Huan said softly: "The strength of the prince is like a prime of life, and we, like a child, under the absolute strength, everything is in vain, so if we want to compete with the prince, we can only make ourselves stronger." First of all, the first step is to solve the current dilemma in the northwest, if we can occupy the northwest, Taoguang recuperate, recuperate, and wait and see the changes in Guanzhong, there is an opportunity, the prince has an order, and the northwest soldiers pour out of the nest, and may not be able to compete with the prince! ”

Chu Huan's words made King Qi's eyes suddenly brighten, and from Chu Huan's words, he heard Chu Huan's support for him.

After all, King Qi is a disciple of Xu Congyang, he has read a lot of books, and he has also listened to a lot of customs and folklore, and he knows in his heart that when it comes to wealth, the northwest is a barren land, but when it comes to bravery, the children of the northwest are fierce and abnormal, and their combat effectiveness is extremely strong.

"Chu Huan, I listen to you." King Qi's eyes flashed, "Let's pacify the northwest first, recuperate, and one day, enter the capital and cut off the prince's head!" ”

When Chu Huan heard this, he knew that the king of Daoqi already hated the prince to the core.

"Lord Wang, you have a long journey, and it's getting late, so let's rest early." Chu Huan got up and said with a smile: "In two days, we will go back to Shuoquan together." ”

King Qi also got up, thought for a while, and asked, "Chu Huan, can I help in any way?" Is Xiao Huanzhang really going to rebel? If I go out in person, he ...... Will you listen to this king? ”

Chu Huan shook his head and smiled: "Lord Wang, whether it is Xiao Huanzhang or Zhu Lingyue, they no longer take the imperial court in their eyes, they are bent on fighting for hegemony in the northwest, don't say it is the prince, now they are only afraid that the will of the Holy Lord will come, and they will also turn a deaf ear." ”

King Qi clenched his fists and sneered: "Then fight, clean up these two dog thieves first!" ”
