At this darkest hour before dawn, a neat column of cavalry walked on the Vermilion Bird Avenue in Yujing City.

To be exact, these are two teams.

One in black armor walks on the left, and the other in silver armor walks on the right.

Those in black armor are naturally in the Xuanjia camp, and those in silver armor are the guards brought by the second prince Ning Zhixing.

Li Chenan couldn't ride a horse, so he rode in the carriage driven by Wang Zhengjinzhong.

He meaningfully invited the second prince to ride with him.

At this moment, he opened the curtain of the car and looked at the yellow lights outside, "Originally, I planned to create a momentum for His Highness, that is, to invite the troupe to beat gongs and drums in front of me." ”

"Originally, I planned to make a few banners with the words of His Royal Highness Prince Toku, so that those people could hold them up so that the people of Kyoto could see them. ”

"In this way, first, we can proclaim the prestige of Your Highness, and secondly, we can ...... It can also let the people of Kyoto know the courage of His Highness. ”

Ning Zhixing looked at Li Chen'an, and the corners of his mouth curled: "Then why did you give up?"

Li Chenan lowered the curtain and looked at Ning Zhixing, "Because...... I suddenly felt that there was no need for this. ”

"What do you mean?"

Li Chenan smiled slightly, "If you do more, it's a waste of silver!"

Ning Zhixing's eyes narrowed slightly, "You said that we are sitting so close now, what if I kill you at this time?"

"You're not that stupid, and since I dare to invite you to ride with me, I naturally won't worry about you doing something to me. ”

"My people are much better than yours, and they are loyal to me, even if you kill me, you will have to bury me. ”

"This deal is not cost-effective, after all, you are the second prince of the Eight Classics, maybe it is really possible to inherit the unification in the future. ”

"And what about me......"

Li Chen'an's words were interrupted by Ning Zhixing before he finished speaking.

He leaned over, looked at Li Chen'an, and said very seriously: "It is said that what you like most is doing business?"

"That's right. ”

"That king really wants to do a business with you that you won't lose money, are you willing?"

Li Chenan grinned:

"Your Highness is really a smart person, I invited Your Highness to ride with me, just to see if Your Highness has the intention of making a deal, let's hear it. ”

Ning Zhixing was silent for a long time, because this matter was too important, and because he still couldn't understand whether Li Chenan was worthy of his trust.

"I can't promise you anything,"

Of course, Li Chenan knew the hesitation in Ning Zhixing's heart, if he didn't get the letter last night, he wouldn't have bothered to say anything to Ning Zhixing.

But now because of that letter, he has changed his mind.

He smiled and said, "If I had to choose, I would still choose your royal brother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... Because he ascended the throne as emperor, I will be safer. ”

"Since you want to do business, everyone has to show some sincerity, don't hide it from Your Highness, I don't care how well prepared you are, you will definitely die in Shuangjiao Mountain!"

Ning Zhixing frowned: "Why are you so sure?"

Li Chenan took out a bottle from his sleeve pocket: "Misty." ”

He pulled out a small jar from his sleeve pocket: "Fireworks!"

"Blur plus fireworks, how many people do you think can be killed?"

Ning Zhixing's heart was shocked, and he saw Li Chen'an suddenly untie his clothes, revealing the silver armor inside.

"This thing's ordinary knives and arrows can't hurt me, even if it's the arrows of the northern beggar's left hill...... Even if he is a half-step Grand Master, if he shoots me an arrow from a hundred steps away, he may not be able to kill me!"

"But I want His Highness's life, but it's not too difficult!"

Since then, Ning Zhixing took a deep breath, "It seems that you know a lot." ”

"After all, I am the deputy of the Imperial City Division. ”

"Okay, then let's talk about this business!"

"Your Highness, please speak. ”

Ning Zhixing sighed for three breaths: "This king's mother concubine has been to Changle Palace. ”

"That's a city!"

"There are many people in the city!"

"It's all soldiers!"

"There are an estimated number of 100,000 soldiers!"

"To raise so many soldiers, you need to consume a lot of food!"

"Water bandits in Shuangjiao Lake...... Not water bandits, but ...... The soldiers raised by my father there!"

Li Chenan was taken aback, "What do you mean......"

"That's right, they robbed the Jiangnan tax grain last year, and they didn't store it on Shuangjiao Island, but took the Qishan Corridor and transported it to Changle Palace!"

Li Chenan sighed for three breaths, "This news is indeed amazing, but what can be solved by the emperor's will, why do you need to do this?"

Ning Zhixing didn't answer, but there was a look of fear on his face.

"The reason why this king agreed to go with you to suppress the bandits is also because he wants to see with his own eyes if it is true. ”

"If it's true, then this business is ours!"

"I need you to help me, although the imperial brother is the crown prince, he can't do this big thing!"

Li Chenan stared at Ning Zhixing, and he couldn't see a false appearance from Ning Zhixing's expression.

"You're going to rebel?"

"If you don't rebel, the three hundred years of Ningguo will be over. ”

"Ji Tai told you?"

"No, he doesn't know. ”

He wholeheartedly wanted to support the king to ascend to the throne, so a few years ago, he privately recruited many people to put them in Shuangjiao Lake, and his purpose was also to hijack the tax grain in Jiangnan, because it was very important to fight the war grain and grass. ”

"But he didn't know that the people he recruited were all three hundred elite soldiers deliberately released by his father!"

"So a few days ago, Shilipo tax grain was robbed, and there were as many as 500 people escorting tax grain, but they were not the opponent of the bandits at all!"

"These bandits now have a leader, his name is Xia Yunhu!"

Li Chen'an was shocked again, the eldest grandson Jinghong suspected that Xia Yunhu was in Changle Palace, but Ning Zhiyi said that Xia Yunhu was in Shuangjiao Lake.

"All the grain that was stolen this time was hidden in a cave, and there was an underground river connected to Shuangjiao Lake in that cave, and now the underground river from Shuangjiao Island to that underground river has been connected by boat, and the grain is being transported to Shuangjiao Island...... I'm afraid it's also being transported to Changle Palace through the Qishan Corridor!"

At this point, Li Chenan believed that Ning Zhixing did have great sincerity.

"I still don't understand why he did it!"

“...... I thought that the eldest grandson Jinghong would tell you about the things that happened in the thirty-fourth year of Jingtai. ”

Li Chenan already knew something from last night's letter, but he still asked a question to confirm the authenticity of the letter:

"What's the matter?"

"The emperor's grandfather is in a big line, the edict of succession has been changed, and the imperial city division has been burned by a fire...... This king doesn't know too much about these things, but the eldest grandson Jinghong must know!"

"Therefore, Empress Lu tried her best to rebuild the Imperial City Division, and only then did she advocate that the eldest grandson Jinghong should take charge of the Imperial City Division. ”

Li Chenan thought about it carefully and asked again: "Even if this thing is true, more than 20 years have passed, and he has been firmly seated in the country, so why should he be afraid?"

"The king doesn't know, but the concubine said...... She said that there must be a secret behind this, but she probed her father's tone several times, but failed to get an answer. ”

Li Chen'an frowned, so it seems that some of Wen Zhuoyu's inferences in that letter are correct.

But it is only an inference, and it cannot really explain the emperor's still confused behavior.

What the hell is this, is it really the cultivation of the Tao that has broken the brain?

Ning Zhixing looked at Li Chen'an's contemplative appearance, and asked in a low voice: "Do you do this business or not?"
