Grandpa, what are you looking for me? Qin Haihao is still very respectful to his grandfather.

Old Lady Qin was originally on the recliner with her eyes closed and recuperated, but after hearing his movements, she lifted her eyelids and glanced at him lazily.

"I heard that recently, there was a little general surnamed Xie who was very popular in the barracks and won the hearts of the people. Some people compare him to you. ”

Qin Haihao's face was a little unbearable, "There is such a number one person, but I have already thought of a way to deal with him." ”

"Oh?" Old Lady Qin's tone was light, but it was difficult to hide his majesty, "How are you going to deal with him?" ”

Qin Haihao said his plan, "This kid has risen so fast, the monarch has recently handed over important military affairs to him alone, there are many people who are dissatisfied with this, as long as I unite those people, he will definitely not be able to eat and walk around." ”

After listening to his words, Old Lady Qin snorted coldly, "I used to think that you were mature and steady, but now it seems that you are still too young, and you can only see the surface of things." ”

Qin Haihao felt very unconvinced, but still asked patiently, "What does Grandpa think about this?" Think I'm doing something wrong? ”

"Why do you think he was able to take control of the military in such a short period of time?" Old Lady Qin didn't answer his question, but instead threw out a new question.

Qin Haihao replied without thinking, "This surnamed Xie, although he also has some ability, but the most important thing is that the monarch is willing to support him." ”

Otherwise, with his identity as a businessman, where can he be mixed in Kyoto.

Hearing this answer, Old Lady Qin was still a little satisfied, "You also know that he has the monarch as a backer behind him, so troubleshooting him is equivalent to going against the monarch, although our Qin family has a deep foundation, but the other party is the Son of Heaven after all." ”

Although some words were not spoken, Qin Haihao also understood in his heart that now the monarch is becoming more and more dissatisfied with the family, and always picks on their thorns in the early dynasty.

"We can't sit idly by and let the monarch weaken the family, right?" Qin Haihao said his inner thoughts without hesitation.

Old Lady Qin glared at him, and said angrily, "The plan in the monarch's heart, those old foxes in the court can see it clearly, but why didn't anyone take the initiative to jump out and oppose the monarch?" Because everyone knows that the gun shoots the first bird, you just have to be patient, and there will definitely be people who can't bear it. ”

Although Qin Haihao didn't care in his heart, he still agreed to Old Lady Qin's words and stood still for the time being.

On the other hand, Xie Yutang's training of recruits was in full swing, and the monarch personally went to the barracks several times to test the results. I was very relieved to see the soldiers who were alive and well.

"You've done a good job, and I didn't believe you wrong." The monarch happily patted Xie Yutang's shoulder.

Xie Yutang silently moved his shoulders away, and his tone was not shocked, "Although it seems that it has begun to be effective now, if you encounter a well-trained army, it is still difficult to resist, our training time is too short, and the real effect still takes time, and it is ......"

Speaking of this, he paused, "There are different stages of training methods at different stages, and it is still in its infancy, and there is still a long way to go to become an invincible and invincible army. ”

He said this for a reason, and he feared that the king, seeing the results, would abandon him if he found him useless.

The monarch also felt that as long as he continued to train according to his method, it would not make much difference no matter who trained him, but now that he heard him say this, he realized that there were so many ways to do it.

"I don't know about training, but I trust you, so I'll leave it to you." The monarch thought to himself, if he wanted Xie Yutang to work hard for him, he still had to give him a little sweetness, and he had to make him understand that there was no place for him here except for himself.

Thinking of this, the monarch shared the latest news he got with Xie Yutang, "The people I sent out have found out about the Dongxuan Kingdom, and I don't know if I should tell you or not." ”

"I don't know what the news is?" Xie Yutang asked a little anxiously, he hadn't gotten news from that side for a long time.

The monarch pretended to sigh deeply, "The Nine Princes have been completely attached to the King of Chu and have become his right-hand men. ”

"The Ninth Prince?" Xie Yutang's first reaction was disbelief, "Is Your Majesty's people mistaken?" ”

The monarch frowned a little unhappily, "If you don't believe it, even if you send someone to inquire, and I don't need to lie to you at all, now everyone in the Eastern Xuan Kingdom knows that the Nine Princes are the right-hand man of the King of Chu." ”

Xie Yutang realized his gaffe and hurriedly explained, "The minister is not questioning Your Majesty, but he is just too shocked by this matter. ”

The monarch snorted coldly, "Now that the king of Chu has subdued the hearts of the people, no one will help you even if you go back, so let's continue to stay and help me, or maybe one day, you can fight back again." ”

His Majesty the Emperor is really whimsical, the country is still in chaos, and he actually wants to attack a country that is more than ten times stronger than his own country.

Although he continued to slander in his heart, Xie Yutang's face did not show any light, but he just made a very disappointed look, "It seems that there is no hope of returning to China, and the minister will definitely do his best in the future to look forward to His Majesty." ”

The monarch knocked him again, and then he turned away satisfied, and when his back disappeared, Xie Yutang's face instantly sank.

"No, the Nine Princes will definitely not be the lackeys of the King of Chu." After listening to the news brought back by Xie Yutang, Chi Wan's first reaction was not to believe it.

Xie Yutang didn't want to believe that although the Nine Princes were sometimes selfish and indifferent, he was actually a person with the world in mind.

"I don't believe he will betray us either, so I'm going to send someone to the capital to investigate."

Chi Wan asked with some concern, "Wouldn't it be too risky to do this?" If we are caught by the people of the King of Chu, won't our whereabouts be exposed? ”

"Although the monarch has promised to help us, we can't fully trust the news he brought yet, so we must send someone to verify it. After all, we've been away for too long. ”

Xie Yutang looked in the direction of Dongxuanguo, his eyes were deep, he always wanted to go back, wash away his grievances, and seek justice for himself.

On the other side, although it was dark at night, the imperial study was brightly lit. The prince and the ninth prince sat facing each other, with a chessboard in the middle.

"The royal brother has superb chess skills, and the younger brother is willing to bow to the upper hand, and in this game, the younger brother loses." The Nine Princes put down their chess pieces and shook their heads helplessly.

The King of Chu was very dissatisfied with this, "I heard that you are excellent at chess before, I'm afraid you are deliberately letting me, so I won, right?" ”

Hearing this, the Nine Princes hurriedly bowed their hands in fear, "The chess skills of the younger brothers are all touted by everyone, and they can barely win a game compared to ordinary people, but when compared with the imperial brothers, they are dwarfed." ”

"Haha, you don't have to be so humble, there are only a few people who can stalemate with me for so long, and there are not a few people in the entire Dongxuan Kingdom." King Chu immediately thought of Xie Yutang.

Every time I play chess with him, the final winner must be Xie Yutang, who is not only proficient in the art of war, but also has certain attainments in chess. It seems that no matter what it is, as long as he does it, he will definitely be able to do his best, so everyone praises him, so much so that his own light is overshadowed by him.

As soon as he thought of this, King Chu's face couldn't help but darken a little, and the Nine Princes noticed the change in his mood, and after a little thought, he understood.

Since ascending to the throne, the king of Chu has become narrow-minded day by day.

"I wonder if you're still in touch with him?" The King of Chu suddenly asked, but he didn't say who he was, so the Nine Princes deliberately pretended not to understand and asked, "I don't know who he is talking about?" Please also ask the royal brother to make it clear. ”

King Chu glanced at him with a smile, "Of course it's Xie Yutang." ”

The Nine Princes were surprised with a hint of fear, and immediately stood up and showed their loyalty: "Such a rebellious minister and thief, the courtier brother will definitely not have any contact with him, and once his whereabouts are discovered, he will be arrested immediately."

The corners of King Chu's mouth rose slightly, with a trace of regret on his face, "Although he has done something sorry for me, but after more than ten years of brotherhood, I will not be wiped out, if he comes to you, or you know his whereabouts, you don't have to hide it, in fact, I have forgiven him in my heart, but it is because of the law, and I must also explain to the ministers of the court, so I sent someone to arrest him." ”

The Ninth Prince sneered in his heart, if he didn't know who he was, he would really be deceived by his brotherly appearance.

"The royal brother is broad-minded, beyond the reach of ordinary people, and the younger brother is really deeply admired." The Nine Princes bowed his head slightly, and the mockery in his eyes was removed, "If the courtier brother meets Xie Yutang, he will definitely persuade him to confess to the imperial brother." ”

The king of Chu is suspicious by nature, and he refuses to believe even his brother who has been born and died for many years, and he must be suspicious of him, and this time he must be testing him.

The Nine Princes bothered to deal with the King of Chu, but he didn't know that the scene where he and the King of Chu had a good conversation became evidence that the two of them were suitable for the two of them in the eyes of others.

After listening to the report of his subordinates, Xie Yutang couldn't help but fall into deep thought, according to the scene that the other party saw, as well as the rumors in the capital, it seemed that the Nine Princes had really surrendered to the head of the King of Chu.

"There must be some misunderstanding in this, the Nine Princes risked their lives to save us, and he will never betray us." In the face of conclusive evidence, Chi Wan still chose to believe in the Nine Princes.
