In the study of Xu's mansion, Xu Yi and Liu Qishan were waiting restlessly.

When they heard that Xu Xiang had returned home, they were all very nervous. Because the matter of taking Jiang Shenyu to leave Ningdu was messed up, Jiang Shenyu was injured.

You don't have to think about it to know that Xu Xiang is probably very angry.

Xu Xiang came to the study, and the two immediately knelt down, "I've seen Your Highness!" ”

Xu Xiang ignored them, walked straight to the chair in the room, sat down, and said to Qing'er: "Qing'er, I'm a little hungry, you go get some food." ”

Qing'er bowed slightly and said, "Young Master, what do you want to eat?" ”

"Let's make porridge." He said casually, Qing'er left in response, and Xu Xiang added: "Prepare two more bowls." ”

"Get up." Xu Xiang looked at the two of them, casually pointed to the chair next to him, and said, "Sit." ”

"The subordinates don't dare!" The two of them said with sincere fear.

"Don't dare?" He sneered, "Where in this world is there anything you don't dare to do?" Have a seat! ”

Seeing that Xu Xiang's face was very ugly, they had to sit down nervously. The expected storm did not appear, and the two of them were very worried.

Xu Xiang looked at Liu Qishan, who was very burly, about thirty years old, and looked a little naïve, not very much like that kind of sinister villain.

"You two know each other, right?"

Xu Yi hurriedly said, "Your Highness, before leaving Xingzhou, I trained with Captain Liu in the Xinghuo Camp. ”

Xu Xiang nodded slightly, "Oh, no wonder." ”

"Your Highness, the matter of the young lady is a poor consideration by the subordinates, which led to the injury of the young lady, if His Royal Highness wants to be held responsible, I, Liu Qishan, am willing to bear it." Liu Qishan knew that this was likely to be the calm before the storm, so instead of waiting for Xu Xiang to speak, it was better to take the initiative to take this responsibility first.

"We'll talk about that later. I'm hungry, so let me finish my meal first. Xu Xiang waved his hand expressionlessly.

The two didn't dare to mention it again, there was silence in the study, and Xu Cheng and Liu Qishan sat in front of Xu Xiang, like pins and needles.

Fortunately, Qing'er's work efficiency is still quite high, and all kinds of breakfast have already been prepared in the kitchen, and she only needs to serve it over.

Qing'er came over with porridge, breaking the dull atmosphere in the room. She put the porridge in a bowl and bowed away.

Xu Xiang picked up the porridge and drank it, he was indeed hungry.

The remaining two bowls of porridge were in front of Xu Cheng and Liu Qishan, and the two of them didn't dare to drink it, they just lowered their heads, not knowing what to think in their hearts.

"Why don't you eat it? Not hungry? Xu Xiang's bowl of porridge had already been drunk, and when he saw that the two of them hadn't moved, he asked.

"Your Highness, I ...... I'm not hungry. Xu Yi said nervously.

"Your Highness, your subordinates are not hungry."

Xu Xiang wiped his mouth with a silk cloth, put down the silk cloth, and then spoke, "Come on, let's talk about business." ”

"Liu Qishan, how is my eldest brother?"

"Back to His Royal Highness, the king is very good now, he heard that you are in Ningdu, and specially sent his subordinates to welcome you back to Dachu." Liu Qishan hurriedly replied.

"Does my eldest brother want me to go back, or is it up to me to make my own decisions?" Xu Xiang asked again.

"The king specially ordered his subordinates before leaving, please be sure to return to Dachu. The king has great ambitions to regain the lost land of Dachu, and he needs your help from back. ”

"yes, I see." Xu Xiang replied lightly.

"So, Your Highness, have you agreed to return to the Chu Kingdom?" Liu Qishan said with some joy.

"Of course I agree, Da Chu is the country of this prince, so naturally I want to go back. It's just ......"

"But what? If His Highness is worried that he will not be able to leave Ningdu, there is no need, his subordinates have a way to leave Ningdu. Liu Qishan hurriedly said.

"Oh? What's the solution? The people you came here this time have suffered heavy losses, what can you do to ensure that this prince leaves Ningdu safely? Xu Xiang asked with a hint of curiosity.

"Your Highness, rest assured, this time in addition to our team of Spark Hidden Guards, there are also ......" When he said this, Liu Qishan suddenly looked a little abnormal, and stopped talking in time.

"What else?" A gleam flashed in Xu Xiang's eyes and he asked.

"I didn't ...... Nothing. Liu Qishan said nervously.

"Tell me, besides your team of Spark Hidden Guards, who else has come?"

Putting musk in the medicine of ginger sinking fish, if it was not Qing'er's mistake, it was Liu Qishan who did it on purpose.

Liu Qishan is just the captain of the Spark Hidden Guard, how dare he do such a thing? That can only show that there may be someone behind him, so Xu Xiang did not have a showdown at the beginning.

Even if it is found out that Liu Qishan did this, it will not be of much use if he does not find out the person who secretly instructed him.

And Liu Qishan, as a member of the Xinghuo Hidden Guard, grew up in the Xinghuo camp since he was a child, and the object of his orders could only be the Chu royal family.

Therefore, the person behind this must be the henchman of his cheap big brother.

When that confidant came to Ningdu, it was definitely not as simple as just taking himself back.

"Nobody...... Your Highness, you are thinking too much. Realizing that he might have slipped out, Liu Qishan hurriedly wanted to fool the past.

But how could Xu Xiang be so easily fooled by a little person like him, so he said, "What? The people sent by my eldest brother won't even meet me? So why should I go back? ”

"This ......"

"Xu Yi, do you know who it is?"

"Your Highness, apart from Brother Liu, the Chu State shouldn't have sent anyone else over, right?" Xu Yi shook his head, he didn't seem to know.

Seeing that Xu Cheng didn't know, Xu Xiang said helplessly: "In this way, you go and tell him that if he can't appear in front of me before noon today, I won't leave Ningdu." ”

"Your Highness, there is really no one else, it's you who think too much! You think about it again, the first king has died in the city of Xingzhou, and the royal family of Great Chu is the only one left with you and the king, you should work together with the king to drive the Northern Mongolian enemy out of the land of Great Chu......" Liu Qishan persuaded bitterly.

"Get out!" Xu Xiang said coldly.

Since the Xinghuo Hidden Guard was sent to pick him up and take him back to Chu State, why did they stay in Ning and not leave? Don't go to yourself?

The matter of taking himself back to Chu is far from being as simple as it seems.

Moreover, in his memory, the relationship between Xu Xiang and Xu Hong does not seem to be very good, Xu Hong would be so kind to take him back to Chu State?

Liu Qishan had no choice but to bow and leave.

"Your Highness, if you don't have other orders, your subordinates won't bother you." Xu Cheng already felt that after Xu Xiang came back this time, it seemed that he had changed a lot.

In the past, Xu Xiang, whether he was happy or unhappy, could be seen from his expression.

But seeing Xu Xiang this time made him feel unfamiliar, the previous friendly and innocent His Royal Highness didn't seem to see any traces on him, and instead was replaced by His Royal Highness the Prince who was moody.

"Xu Yi, do you remember when you were in Linzi?"

"What is it that Your Highness is talking about?" When they were in Linzi, they had experienced a lot of things, and he couldn't figure out what Xu Xiang planned to say to him for a while.

He smiled slightly, looked out of the room, seemed to be caught in a memory, and muttered, "In the ruined temple, I took your bowl of rice oil." At that time, I told myself that this bowl of rice oil, I Xu Xiang will pay you a hundred times and a thousand times in the future. ”

Xu Yi was stunned, but he didn't expect him to remember this little thing.

"Your Highness is serious, this is what subordinates should do."

Xu Xiang let out a long sigh, "You go, don't appear in front of me again in the future." In the future, we will not owe each other. ”

Xu Cheng thought that Xu Xiang was reminiscing about the past, but he didn't expect to suddenly say such a sentence!

What does that mean? Is it to expel yourself?

He knelt in front of Xu Xiang in fear, "Your Highness, I don't know what Xu Cheng did wrong, causing His Highness to send a thunderous fire!" You can punish your subordinates as much as you want, please don't expel Xu Yi Your Highness! ”

"Do you think Prince Ben will tolerate someone who betrays me and stay by my side?" Xu Xiang said coldly.

"Why did Your Highness say this? Xu Yi has never betrayed His Royal Highness for half a minute! Your Highness, please be clear! ”

"Mingcha?" Xu Xiang smiled coldly, "You proposed to the young lady to leave Ningdu, right?" You want to kill her with Ming's hand, isn't this a betrayal? ”

Xu Yi was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Xu Xiang thought like this, and hurriedly explained: "The subordinates have never betrayed His Highness!" It was indeed my proposal to the young lady to leave Ningdu, but my subordinates never expected that they would be discovered by the Ming family's people. ”

"Well, you don't have to explain. Go ahead! Xu Xiang waved his hand, as if he didn't want to hear any explanation from him.

Xu Yi stumbled to his feet, very disappointed, and said in despair: "Since Your Majesty thinks that Xu Yi betrayed His Highness!" That subordinate is willing to die to apologize to His Highness! ”

After saying that, he suddenly picked up the porridge bowl on the table, smashed it, picked up the pieces, and cut them at his throat.

Xu Xiang didn't expect Xu Cheng to have such an overreaction, and hurriedly shouted, "What are you going to do?" ”

However, Xu Cheng had turned a deaf ear, and the fragments of the porridge bowl cut his throat, and suddenly blood flowed, and Xu Cheng fell diagonally.

Xu Xiang hurriedly got up, helped him up, pressed his throat hard, and yelled, "Come on!" ”

He didn't expect Xu Cheng to be so stubborn, and at this moment, a figure rushed in quickly, and Xu Xiang saw that it was Huo Lingzhuo, who he hadn't seen for a long time.

Seeing this, Huo Lingzhuo hurriedly sealed several big points on Xu Cheng's body, and then delivered a breath of true qi to Xu Cheng.

"It was finally in time and my life was saved. Xu Gongzi, what's going on? She motioned for Xu Xiang to take her hand away and asked.

Then, he took out a small medicine bottle and poured some medicine powder on Xu Yi's cut throat, and the amount of blood flow immediately decreased.

"I don't know why he's so tough, and I don't mean to kill him." Xu Xiang said with some self-reproach, although he knew in his heart that Xu Cheng might have been used, but he still couldn't forgive him, so he wanted Xu Cheng to leave, but he didn't expect him to be so stubborn.

"I've already investigated this matter. Xu Yi is innocent, and he was also taken advantage of. Huo Lingzhuo pulled some more cloth, wrapped Xu Yi's wound, and said.

At this time, the others also heard the movement and ran over.

Xu Xiang hurriedly stopped Liu Sancai, "Uncle Liu, quickly help Xu Yi to rest." When he woke up, you told him, I forgave him. ”

"Yes, young master!" Liu Sancai called a few servants and carried Xu Yi away.

After Xu Xiang washed his hands, he sat down again, looked at Huo Lingzhuo, and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

"I heard that after Xu Gongzi came back last night, he did a big thing."

Xu Xiang expected that Si Chen would tell her about yesterday's incident, and nodded very calmly, "Tell me, what happened the night before yesterday?" ”

"Sister Shenyu's matter was planned by Ma Shouxin."

"Who is Ma Shouxin?" Xu Xiang had never heard of this name.

Huo Lingzhuo looked at him with strange eyes and said, "Ma Shouxin is your eldest brother's cronies, have you forgotten?" When you were ten years old, your eldest brother killed and ate your beloved little rabbit, or Ma Shouxin's hand. When you know that, you will have him put to death, and at last you will get to your father. It is precisely because of this incident that you slowly lose the favor of your father. ”

"Ah...... It turned out to be him. Xu Xiang was stunned, how could he know about this kind of place hidden in the most corner of his memory, but in order to prevent Huo Lingzhuo from seeing his abnormality, he explained, "Alas, after so many years, I don't remember this little role." ”

"Yes, but now people are not small characters. He is now the third rank of your Great Chu's palace. ”

"That's not a small role?" Xu Xiang smiled slightly, and then asked, "Where is he now?" ”

"Well, what does Your Highness plan to exchange for?" Huo Lingzhuo smiled, she had always called Xu Xiang "Xu Gongzi" before, and this time she called him "Your Highness", which was a temptation.

Xu Xiang pondered for a moment, and then said, "Tell me where he is, in exchange for a chance for you to choose again." How is it? ”

"Re-choose what?"

Xu Xiang took out two pieces of Dragon Hunting Order from his arms and shook them in front of her.

Huo Lingzhuo's face changed, and his voice trembled slightly, "You...... What did you know? ”

"I know everything."

"You don't know how to settle accounts?" When Huo Lingzhuo saw him take out two pieces of the Dragon Order, he knew that Xu Xiang had truly mastered the Dragon Order, which meant that her life was already in Xu Xiang's hands.

"No, it won't."

"Huo Lingzhuo, the commander of the subordinate Earth Dragon Division, greets Lord Commander!" Huo Lingzhuo knelt down and said respectfully.

"Get up." Xu Xiang said lightly, "Can you say it now?" ”

Huo Lingzhuo got up and said, "Ma Shouxin is now in a house on Guchang Street in Suzaku City, and his subordinates have secretly monitored him. ”

"Good. If he doesn't come to see me after noon this day, bring him to me. ”

"Yes! Commander! Huo Lingzhuo was already very nervous at this time, listening to what Si Chen said last night, she had already begun to wonder if Xu Xiang had mastered the Dragon Order, and now the two Dragon Order had explained everything.

Before, she approached Xu Xiang just to control Xu Xiang before he mastered the Dragon Order.

However, he never expected that he would master the Dragon Wandering Order so quickly. All his plans to break away from the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow have all come to naught.

At this time, where can she take care of anything else, first save her life, and it is important to protect the Huo family.

Xu Xiang also opened the employee data sheet, and saw that Huo Lingzhuo's loyalty had changed from 51 to 52, and couldn't help but smile slightly, it seems that Huo Lingzhuo seems to have other ideas.

"It's okay, I'll play with you." Xu Xiang said in her heart, now she is only loyal to herself on the surface, since she still wants to struggle, let her struggle and struggle.

"Do you have any other orders?" She asked cautiously again.

"Ma Shouxin came to Ningdu on the order of my eldest brother, right? Have you found out what their true intentions are? Xu Xiang asked again.

"The king of Chu is now eager to recapture the lost city, but his morale and popular will are not high, so he wants to use your life to boost his morale."

"Oh? Let's talk about it specifically. Xu Xiang's face at this time showed a look that seemed to be smiling, as if he was very interested.

"Ma Shouxin's original plan was to take you back to the Chu State, and then go to the city controlled by Beimeng in Chu, secretly send assassins to kill you, disguised as someone from Beimeng. In this way, Xu Hong announced to the world that it was the people of Beimeng who killed the second prince of Chu, and the soldiers of Chu would definitely be very angry when they knew about it, so as to boost their morale. Now, Jiang Fu occupies Linhe City and cuts off the road for Beimeng's support, which is a good time for Chu to counterattack, so it is very important for Xu Hong to take you back. ”

"It's just that when Ma Shouxin came over, you had already left Ningdu. So, whether his plans have changed or not, it is unknown. ”

Xu Xiang smiled coldly, "Yo, such a big stroke." ”

"Huo Lingzhuo, what do you say if I go back with him?"

"If His Highness needs it, the 30,000 advance troops of the Earth Dragon Division can escort His Highness back to the Chu State!"

"All 30,000 advance troops are sent? Shanhaiguan doesn't want it? ”

"Uh...... For the Earth Dragon Division, the command is the most important thing! ”

"No need, there's no rush anyway, I'll make a decision after I see Ma Shouxin. How many advance troops are there in Ningdu City now? ”

"Fourteen thousand." Huo Lingzhuo replied.

"What about the other forces?" Xu Xiang asked again, wanting to figure out the current situation in Ningdu, she knew best.

"Now Lin Chong has 15,000 people, basically all of whom are in Qinglong City, while the other nobles and families have about 30,000 people. The Ming clan itself has 50,000 elite soldiers, plus the 10,000 brought by Wu Kai from Zitong Pass, a total of 60,000 people, and the Xiao family in the past has about 7,000 people. Now that everyone's strength is about the same, the situation has been so anxious that if no other army enters Ningdu, this stalemate can last for at least three months. ”

"You send 10,000 advance troops out, Qin Zhiwei has 20,000 people, you go to attack Zhongning City together."

"Huh? What are you doing attacking Zhongning City? ”

"Greetings Your Majesty!" Xu Xiang looked in the direction of Zhongning City and said lightly.

"Your Excellency...... Do you mean Your Majesty? Xuanyuanding? ”

"Yes."
