In the prison of Daijing Yamen, Gongsun Ying came to Xu Xuan.

"What's going on today? With your ability, how could you be captured by Zhang Shumo? Gongsun Ying was a little angry, and today's events made him very passive.

Xu Xuan glanced at Gongsun Ying: "It's not that your Qi Palace's affairs are unfavorable!" Today's events are completely under the full set of Zhang Shumo, not only did you not notice, but you also sent me into their trap, what else can I do? ”

"Why don't you run away when you know it's a full set? With your ability, if you really want to escape Zhang Shumo, can you stop you? ”

"The little Taoist priest next to Zhang Shumo is a master, I underestimated the strength of the other party, so I was captured."

Gongsun Ying clenched his fists after hearing this, and after a long time he continued to ask: "Zhao Tao was really killed by you?" ”

Xu Xuan nodded: "This waste brought me into Zhang Shumo's trap, and I can't figure out the situation, what's the use of keeping him!" ”

"He's my cousin! Even if he doesn't use him anymore, you don't have the right to kill him! Gongsun Ying pointed to Xu Xuan's nose and said.

Xu Xuan smiled: "The sword is in my hand, I can kill whoever I want!" If you provoke me, I will dare to kill you! ”

"Xu Xuan! Do you think this is in Jeongkook? I'd like to know, what do you have to make you so confident? Do you think that my Yan Kingdom will not dare to kill you? Gongsun Ying squinted at Xu Xuan.

Xu Xuan sneered: "Kill me? Maybe Gongsun Ze really dares to kill me, but you don't dare! If I can't live, I'll take you to the funeral and find out all the things about your private collusion with Zheng Guo! ”

Gongsun Ying stood in place and sighed helplessly: "Okay, I'll go and tell His Highness about this!" With that, Gongsun Ying called the jailer and left.

When Gongsun Ying left the yamen, a figure suddenly appeared behind him and stopped him: "Qin'er! Did you go to see Xu Xuan just now? ”

Gongsun Ying was stunned for a moment, and quickly turned around to look, it turned out that the person who was skilled was none other than Gongsun Kang.

"Father, why are you here, don't you ......?"

Gongsun Kang raised his hand and interrupted Gongsun Yang's words: "It's inconvenient to talk here, follow me to the carriage!" ”

After getting into the carriage, Gongsun Kang immediately asked, "Is it really you who did the assassination in the post house?" Didn't I ground you for a few days? ”

Gongsun Yang nodded: "Although the child was grounded in those days, Xu Xuan and his men can still act. ”

"Nonsense! How can you act so hastily? Was it your idea or did Your Highness mean it? Gongsun Kang asked.

Gongsun Yang thought for a while and said, "It's what His Highness meant." ”

Gongsun Kang sighed: "How can Your Highness be so thoughtful and achieve great things. Are you going to do that now? ”

"I have to go to see His Highness, and I have to let His Highness protect Xu Xuan, otherwise Xu Xuan will confess His Highness and us."

"No way!" Gongsun Kang directly denied Gongsun Yang's plan: "The assassin who assassinated Zhang Shumo is your bodyguard, and now you are seriously suspected." If you go to see Your Highness at this time, won't you tell others that Your Highness is the real mastermind behind the scenes? ”

Gongsun Yang was shocked, he didn't think of this at all just now, so he hurriedly asked, "What should that kid do now?" If we don't do anything, we'll be done if Xu Xuan confesses. ”

Gongsun Kang sighed: "If Xu Xuan wants to say it, let him say it." After all, it's just his words, and there is no evidence, Your Majesty won't do anything to you. It's just that His Majesty has this suspicion, and His Royal Highness may find it difficult to become the crown prince. ”

"But in this way, won't Your Highness be angry with me?" Gongsun Yang asked anxiously.

Gongsun Kang shook his head helplessly: "Then there is no way, self-protection in the current situation is the most important!" And I asked you to have a good relationship with both Highnesses just for this moment, one Highness is angry with you, and the other Highness will win you over! ”

After listening to Gongsun Kang's words, Gongsun Yang was a little surprised in his heart. I didn't expect that my father, who didn't seem to care about political affairs on his face, still had such plans and insights behind his back, it seems that he really blamed his father.

Gongsun Kang patted Gongsun Yang's shoulder: "Okay, you don't have to think too much." Remember, you have just died a loved one, so be grieving. As for the matter between His Highness and Xu Xuan, don't think about it anymore, if Your Highness is worried, he will take the initiative to come to you! ”

In the palace, Deng Fei came to the palace of Gongsun Zhi, the second highness.

"Your Highness, Zhang Shumo caught an assassin suspected of being assassinated in the post house, and he is currently in prison, and Weichen hurriedly came to report to His Highness."

"Oh?" Gongsun Zhi raised his eyebrows: "How did Shumo catch the assassin in this chapter?" I didn't even see the shadow of the assassin after all the troubles, and he said he caught it? ”

"It seems like a coincidence. Zhang Shumo has a maid who is a native of my Yan country, and has a grudge against Zhao Tao of the Qi Palace. So Zhang Shumo led people to find Zhao Tao to seek revenge, never thinking that the assassin was Zhao Tao's guard. ”

When Gongsun Zhi heard this, he immediately stood up: "Qi Wangfu? How could this matter involve the Qi Palace? ”

Deng Fei hurriedly arched his hand: "The lower official doesn't know either, the lower official just briefly inquired about the suspect's situation, and then came to report to His Highness as soon as possible." In addition, the suspect is Zheng Guoren! ”

Gongsun Zhi narrowed his eyes when he heard this: "Zheng Guoren? Lord Deng, if this matter is confirmed, then the Qi Palace's mansion will be guilty of collaborating with the enemy! ”

"The lower officials don't dare to say anything, so I came to ask His Highness to decide."

Gongsun Zhi nodded: "Have you told your father about this?" ”

Deng Fei shook his head: "It's too late at this time, and the lower officials don't dare to disturb Your Majesty." ”

"Hmmm! You're doing a great job! Take care of the suspect, I'll go see King Qi first and see what he will say!" ”

Gongsun Zhi and Deng Fei left the palace together, and not long after the two left, a little eunuch hurriedly ran to Gongsun Ze's palace.

Not long after, Gongsun Ze's palace was lit up, and a eunuch reported in front of him: "Your Majesty, just now Deng Fei went to see His Royal Highness, saying that the suspect who assassinated Zhang Shumo was caught, and the suspect was from the Qi Palace. ”

"Oh? Then why don't you see the second child to report? ”

"Second Highness asked Deng Fei not to disturb His Majesty first, and then went to the Qi Palace. Moreover, it is said that the assassin is Zheng Guoren! ”

Gongsun Ze tapped the table with his fingers: "If this matter is confirmed, but it is the crime of collaborating with the enemy, the second brother (Gongsun Kang) has never asked about political affairs, will he collude with Zheng Guoren?" The second child hid it from me and went to see Gongsun Kang by himself, what did he mean? ”

"Your Majesty, do you need a little one to invite Fan Xiang?" The eunuch immediately asked.

Gongsun Xue couldn't help but smile: "You still know me, go and invite Fan Xiang into the palace!" Remember, keep it a secret! ”

It didn't take long for Fan Yao to come to Gongsun Ze's dormitory, and as soon as he saw Gongsun Ze, he explained to him today's events.
