Seeing Gu Hanqing's sudden change of attitude and willingness to cooperate, the prince thought that everything was ripe and natural. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

But before the smile on the corner of his mouth stretched to an arc of surprise, he never thought that the name he desperately wanted to hear from Gu Hanqing's mouth would be himself.

At this moment, he seemed to hear the sound of a broken nerve in his head.

"Okay, you, toast and don't eat and drink, come on!"

It may be the collapse of Gu Hanqing's patience after he has devoted his efforts for a long time but has no help, or it may be a slightly uneasy weakness of heart due to being pointed out by others.

The prince gritted his teeth and raised his hand and shouted, and with a rush of footsteps from far and near, he saw a large number of city defenders in gray armor and blue helmets surging in from all directions, and soon surrounded the three of them.

"It's not like you're trying to kill someone, is it?"

Cheng Jinzhi looked at the menacing people around him a little nervously, subconsciously grabbed Gao Heng's sleeve, approached him and whispered: "Why hasn't Cen Changsi come yet, our side is about to burn our eyebrows." ”

"There's another way. ”

Gao Heng's lips moved slightly, and he raised his chin towards the Li'an Hou Mansion, where the door of the mansion was wide open, intentionally or unintentionally.

Although he couldn't be sure of Zhao Xinzhi's position, since Zhao Xinzhi chose to let Gu Hanqing leave safely, he had already shown that this person did not want to get involved in this smoky dispute between the princes. As long as he has no intention of helping the prince, it is not a bad idea to use his eaves to temporarily avoid the limelight.

"The prisoner Gu Hanqing insisted on arresting, and King Gao Heng of Yan tried to rob the prisoners, and the two of them had already colluded, and they were all taken by the palace!"

When the prince gave an order, he should have seen all the soldiers of the city defense battalion rushing up, and the swords were tense. But what is unexpected is that the first reaction of these city defense troops is to look at each other on the ground, and they seem to be hesitant about the prince's order to make such a big move.

Although they all serve the crown prince, Gao Heng is a knighted prince after all, and they have all heard of his deeds in the battle of the Western Jin Dynasty, if they are worried or afraid, they dare not be the first to rush forward.

Indeed, Gao Heng crisscrossed the battlefield and killed countless enemies, and a mere city defense battalion was not enough to pose a life-threatening concern. But he knew that the prince was pressing step by step, but he actually had ulterior motives, and if he couldn't hold his breath and fight at the moment, he would be in the prince's trap.

But Cheng Jinzhi can't be as fearless as Gao Heng.

She has suffered a lot when she grows so big, but she has never seen such a battle of swords and swords, and for a while, she only felt a chill down her spine, and she swallowed a breath violently, and her heart rose to her throat.

"It's over, this prince is angry today, and he wants to serve us all in one pot. ”

Cheng Jinzhi pursed her lips in a panic, and suddenly felt that two different forces suddenly came from her two wrists, she looked down, and saw Gao Heng and Gu Hanqing grabbing her hands one left and one right, and blocked her at the same time.

Between the two shoulders, both of them were stunned. After glancing at each other with deep eyes, they invariably increased the force in their hands, pulled Cheng Jinzhi to their side, and started a silent contest.

Obviously, the situation was imminent, and these two big men actually started infighting in front of everyone, which made Cheng Jinzhi speechless, but also resentful.

"Please, don't go astray at this juncture. ”

She pursed her lips and shook off the black lines on her face, and with a twist of thought, she grabbed the wrists of the two with her backhand, and simply folded their hands together.

Gao Heng naturally didn't expect Cheng Jinzhi to make such a move, seeing that his palm was covering the back of Gu Hanqing's hand at the moment, his eyebrows jumped, and he and Gu Hanqing took it back, their faces full of embarrassment.

And the prince looked meaningfully at everything in front of him, and unconsciously reached out and touched the back of his hand.

"Ahem, what are you still doing in a daze, who dares to disobey the orders of this palace, military law will deal with it!"

He came back to his senses with a strange expression, and raised his voice with a red face, which made the hesitant city defense troops around him take a stagnant pace and attack it in groups.

"Wait. ”

At the last moment, he heard a low and slightly hoarse voice forcefully penetrating into the crowd that was about to overturn.

Everyone looked at it intently, only to see a calm and relaxed figure appear at the door of the Hou Mansion, this person is the owner of this mansion, that is, Zhao Xinzhi, the Hou of Li'an.

"It's been a long time since it's been this lively. ”

Zhao Xinzhi said and slowly walked down the steps accompanied by two domestic servants, and after his eyes swept over everyone, his deep gaze fell on the prince, and he said lightly: "His Royal Highness the prince is making such a big move in front of the old man's door, I don't know what is going on?"

"Uncle. ”

The prince stiffly held a junior salute, obviously feeling a little dissatisfied with Zhao Xinzhi's sudden appearance at such a critical moment.

"Is there too much movement here, so noisy that my uncle is resting?" he said in a soothing tone, and then asked in a tone of condolence, "But I asked you to greet this Young Master Gu before, why did you let him go as soon as you changed hands?"

Zhao Xinzhi glanced at Gu Hanqing, and said indifferently: "Young Master Gu played chess with me, but the young master was a step ahead, and I was willing to gamble and lose, so I let him go." ”

"Chess is superior?" The crown prince frowned and looked at Zhao Xinzhi with disdain, "Everyone in this court knows that my uncle is excellent at chess, and even my father is amazed, and today I actually let Gu Shaozhu win back, so it seems that my uncle won't lose to him on purpose, right?"

"Is there any point in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince pursuing this issue now?" Zhao Xinzhi still spoke calmly, but the old man's eyes were not cloudy, and there was already a sharp glow, "I am quiet here all the year round, and I am not used to seeing others dancing with knives and guns here, and I also ask the prince to stop fighting and return a pure land here." ”

"Obviously I am your nephew, why does my uncle want to help others?"

The crown prince raised his voice, and a thick layer of gloom enveloped his face.

If Zhao Xinzhi hadn't let Gu Hanqing go without authorization and came out to stir up the situation at this important time, everything he planned would have been a hundred times smoother than now.

However, although Zhao Xinzhi has been far away from the temple, he is the elder of the dynasty after all, with a deep foundation, and he is the elder of his own relatives, even Queen Zhao has to be in awe, even if he has a lot of resentment in his heart, he has to take care of it in front of everyone.

"Your Highness has misunderstood, the old man has no intention of helping anyone, he just doesn't want to see others make trouble in his own territory. As long as His Highness withdraws his troops from here, please feel free to do whatever he wants after that. ”

"That's only for forgiving my nephew for being unreasonable. The prince's face tensed, and his attitude was even more cold and hard, "What if I just don't withdraw?"

"Really?"

Zhao Xinzhi bowed slightly, and looked up at the opaque clouds above his head. After a moment of silence, Fang said lightly.

"Then Your Highness is afraid that you will regret it. ”
