"Why did Your Highness say that. Zhou Rong almost burst out loud when he heard this.

"I ask you something, you are from the General's Mansion, what do you say about the garrison of this city. Xu An got up and asked as he stared at Zhou Rong's eyes a little seriously.

"The garrison is under the jurisdiction of the city gatekeepers, and the general's palace is not involved. ”

"What do you think this city can stop me?" Xu An then asked.

"Can't stop it, the garrison of Yicheng is not as big as Beiyang City or Shangwu City, no one can stop His Highness if he comes, and no one can stop him if he wants to go. Zhou Rong still smiled back.

"Oh, then you are just exposing my identity like this, and you are not afraid that I will kill people and kill you?" Xu Tai nodded with a look of enlightenment.

"It's just heart-to-heart, not debunking. Zhou Rong said.

"Heart-to-heart, heart-to-heart with the king, your courage is not small. ”

"I called His Royal Highness King Hui'an a few times, Brother Xu, and I didn't know His Royal Highness's identity?" Zhou Rong returned with a smile.

"Ao Ao, in this case, you call me Brother Xu, that's my brother, right? Then do you say I want to give you a prince as a prince?Tell this king, which city do you want as a fief?" Xu An nodded and said.

"Don't dare to do this, Your Highness said with a smile. ”

"Eh, you don't have any jokes, why do you say it with a joke? Since you don't say it, how about this king choose for you?"

"What do you think of Yicheng?" Xu An leaned into Zhou Rong's ear and whispered.

"I grew up in this city, which is a peaceful and peaceful city, and His Highness must have seen it during the day. Zhou Rong returned.

"Okay! If you like it, then it's decided, when I go back, I will lead the troops to attack the city, you will help me respond in the city, and when the city is captured, you will be crowned the king of Zhao." Xu An patted Zhou Rong's shoulder and said loudly, completely afraid that others would not hear it.

"Who's the king?"

Li Wusheng immediately walked out of the house drunk when he heard the word Fengwang, and fell to the ground after just two steps, it seems that he is really drunk.

"Your Highness laughed, the dispute between gentlemen, how can it be in one country and one city, Your Highness will not send troops to Zhao State. Zhou Rong said with a smile, he naturally knew that Xu An was testing himself.

"Why do you say that?" asked Xu An.

"There must be a reason for sending troops, if it is not a benevolent and righteous army, the whole world will fight against it, and His Highness will not put himself under such a dangerous wall. ”

"Alas, this is a mistake, if I am willing to send troops to attack a country for the sake of a new friend, then will not all the aspiring talents in the world come to join me? Xu An said.

"Your Highness, you and I both know that those who come to take refuge are all useless people, and they can't help Your Highness succeed. ”

"Then in your opinion, what is a useful person? Your third brother was praised by King Zhao as a talent through heaven and earth, and he can be reused?"

"If you can help Your Highness, you are naturally useful, since Your Highness wants to pick up stars, what you need should be a strong person, so my third brother naturally can't help Your Highness. ”

"You're getting more and more interesting, why do you know I want to go to the stars?"

"It is no longer a secret for His Highness to go to Wangshulou, everyone in the world thinks that His Highness is going to make a deal with Wangshulou, and ask Wangshulou to help him do something, but after such a long time, until now, His Highness has never brought a person or a sword, so His Highness's original purpose is only one, that is, to pick stars. ”

"Then you might as well tell me, if I don't let King Hui'an do it, why do I want to pick up stars?"

"When the death omen appears, no one in the world will be spared, and everyone will be a star picker at that time, and there is no need for any reason to pick up the star, but His Highness's reason is different from ours. Zhou Rong said.

Go on. Xu An lay down on the roof again, took a sip of wine and said.

"In the autumn of Qing'an 17, a female student died in the Spirit Academy, who should be the beloved of His Highness..."

Zhou Rong turned his head to look at Xu An's reaction when he said this, but the strange thing was that Xu An didn't react, and still lay there quietly.

"What do you think I'm doing? ”

Someone accused the student on the occasion of the death of the omen, and Chang Wenjun was too sick for a long time to go to investigate in person, so the matter was hastily closed. After the incident, all the officials involved had hanged themselves, and there was no way to investigate this case, so His Royal Highness could only pick up stars if he wanted to overturn the case. ”

"Then why don't you talk about it again, who did this?" Xu An still lay there and asked casually.

"I can't guess. Zhou Rong shook his head lightly and said.

"Tut-tut, the second son of the General's Mansion, it's really mediocre, everyone in the world knows who did it, but you can't guess it. Xu An said mockingly.

"It's because everyone knows it, so I can't guess. Zhou Rong said with a smile.

"Someone who does something bad that everyone knows is doing it is a fool. Xu An said.

"It's too obvious, and it's too dangerous. ”

"Where does the word danger come from?" Xu An asked.

"If Your Highness didn't choose to leave at that time, but just endured it..."Zhou Rong said this and stopped talking.

"Don't you dare to say, then I'll tell you for you, if I had endured it like this, the former king would have made good amends to me after the incident, and the courtiers would have alienated my eldest brother for fear of being implicated, and those who had been pardoned because of me would be even more indignant, but that's what you want to say?"

"Your Highness is wise. Zhou Rong frowned slightly and said.

"Why didn't I think of it at the time?" said Xu An with a look of remorse.

"Your Highness naturally has his own considerations. Zhou Rong said with a smile, he naturally knew that Xu An's appearance was pretended.

"Do you think the person who did that thought about this?" asked Xu An again.

"Naturally, there was some consideration. ”

"Why take the risk if they've thought about it?"

"I don't dare to say. Zhou Rong saluted and said.

"Don't be so serious, you are from Zhao Guo, and I can't cure your crimes, you just said that it is just a heart-to-heart, since it is a heart-to-heart, then you have to help me take care of these things. Xu An took another sip of wine and said.

"They're gambling. Zhou Rong said.

"Bet on what?"

"It's about family affection and reason. ”

"Who are you betting with?"

"Gambling with His Highness, gambling with Chang Wenjun, gambling with the world. ”

"What is family affection, and what is reason?"

"Family affection is the love of father and son, they are betting that Chang Wenjun will not kill their son, reason is the emotion of His Highness, they are betting that His Highness will not choose to endure it like this. ”

"According to what you say, they are betting right? What they bet on with the first king is family affection, and what is the bet with me on reason, so what is the bet with the world?"

"Gambling with the world is naturally the psychology and situation, His Royal Highness King Hui'an chose to leave the capital when he encountered an accident, in the eyes of the world is really difficult to take on a big responsibility, when the incident happened those who thought they were smart people can guess who did it, but after the incident, some people who think they are smarter will feel that something is wrong, too obvious. They are betting on the psychology of this part of the people who think they are smarter. Chang Wenjun died, now it is the trend of the times, no matter what doubts there are in the hearts of the world, it is useless, the country is in whose hands it has no impact on most people, the eldest prince can govern the country well, then they will not care if that incident is done by him. ”

"I understand, do you mean or my eldest brother?" Xu An nodded and asked.

"I didn't say it. Zhou Rong smiled and shook his head.

"It's really slippery, you don't dare to find out, but I understand the meaning, simply put, they are betting that I will leave the capital after that incident, and they are also betting that the first king will not kill him, and I won't have time to return to the capital after the first king dies, so the country can only be handed over to him?" Xu An said after thinking about it.

"Your Highness, please be clear, I didn't say that. ”

"You don't have to pretend to be anything, I won't kill you, I just said that it was just a heart-to-heart, so do you say that there is a possibility besides this possibility?" Xu An asked.

"Is there another possibility?" Zhou Rong began to wonder when he heard Xu An's words.

"Is it possible that someone is deliberately muddying the waters?"

"Your Highness is saying that those people didn't think about it so much, they just threw a stone in, and it doesn't matter to them who you two inherit the throne?" Zhou Rong asked after thinking about it.

"Guess and see who did it. Xu An lay there and said casually.

"Well, if it doesn't matter who inherits the throne to them, it may be explained, even if they all bet wrong, it doesn't matter, but what is the purpose of doing this? The third prince is young, and everyone knows that the battle for the throne is only between the two of you. ”

"What's the use of something that everyone knows?" Xu An said after chuckling twice.

"Your Highness is saying..."

"Seliang is still young, and your thoughts are dangerous. Xu An stared at Zhou Rong with slightly narrowed eyes and said.

"Yes, no, of course. That is, someone is helping Chang Wenjun make a choice as soon as possible, Chang Wenjun was sick for a long time but did not establish a crown prince for a long time, and the courtiers couldn't bear to see the Beichang foundation ruined, so they spontaneously planned that incident, the purpose was to force Chang Wenjun to make a decision. ”

"But I still don't understand why His Highness left the capital. Zhou Rong said after thinking about it.

The doubts of the world are all about who did that incident, but they all ignore why Xu An left the capital, and through today's conversation, Zhou Rong does not think that Xu An is the kind of person who will do impulsive things.

"There's one last possibility. Xu An put away his smile and said lightly.

"Your Highness is saying that someone wants to frame the eldest prince? That person wants His Highness to inherit the throne?" Zhou Rong said with a slight stunned moment.

"I know who this person is. Xu An said softly.

"This is also the reason why His Highness left the capital?"

"Don't you know the reason why I left the capital?" Xu An asked with a smile.

"His Royal Highness King Hui'an is so affectionate, and he is ashamed. Zhou Rong jumped off the roof and said very respectfully to Xu An.

"Neurotic, lend me a sword. Xu An said.

"I don't use a sword. Zhou Rong replied with a smile.

"And what do you use? fist?"

"I use arrows. ”

"Different?" Xu An asked with a frown.

"A bow and arrow, not a sword. ”

"People like you are really suitable for hiding behind the scenes and shooting cold arrows, yes, it's quite suitable for you, why didn't you break it when I just said the Flower Shadow Sword?"

"His Royal Highness gave him a name, but he didn't dare to refuse. Zhou Rong saluted and said.

"Then you don't have to change your name. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness. Zhou Rong returned with a smile.

"But it shouldn't be difficult to find a sword in the General's Mansion. Xu An nodded and continued.

"Your Highness is going to kill someone?"

"Kill the man who is going to kill me. ”

"Your Highness knows where those people are?"

"I don't know. ”

"At the border between Beichang and Zhao, a group of robbers appeared more than a month ago. Zhou Rong said.

"I don't have much interest in killing robbers. ”

"Your Highness is going to kill that group of robbers. ”

"You mean those people were waiting for me more than a month ago disguised as robbers?"

Xu An has been thinking about where those people will intercept him these days, and he even thinks that those people will be in Beichang, but he never thought that they would wait for him at the border a month in advance, with such far-reaching intentions, it seems that his road back to the capital is really dangerous.

It is not easy to leave any evidence even if it is impossible to intercept at the border, but how do the robbers solve the problem of the border guards? No country can tolerate a group of hateful robbers on its own border.

"Exactly. ”

"Why do you know this?"

"There is suddenly a group of robbers with good strength on the border, and King Zhao will naturally be vigilant, although it is not easy to check between the two countries, but it is not difficult to guess. Zhou Rong said.

"You didn't think of handing me over to them?"

"Why should I hand over His Highness?"

"Someone wants to kill me, and that person can't afford to be provoked by the General's Mansion. Xu An said.

"The General's Mansion also can't afford to provoke His Highness. Zhou Rong returned, then went back to the house and took out a sword and gave it to Xu An.

"I'm too lazy to come over and return this sword to you, go to Beiyang City to find me. Xu An took the sword and said casually by his side.

"Your Highness is gracious. ”

"You lend me a sword, I give you a credit, you take a lot of my advantage. ”

"What does Your Highness mean by this?"

"Since it is a robber between the two countries, it is naturally a lot tricky to deal with, and the two countries will not tolerate these robbers, if I guess correctly, the general will personally go to the border to deal with this matter. ”

"It's just robbers, the border army can deal with it, my father doesn't need to go over. ”

"It's just that the border army can naturally deal with the robbers, but you also said that they are not ordinary robbers, and this is also your cleverness, the general going to the border is definitely not what King Zhao meant, but what you meant. ”

"Whether it is the border army or the king of Zhao, you will feel that this is a hot potato, but you know that this is completely a free gift, just wait there for me to pass by, so the general must have passed. Xu An continued.

"Even so, what does it have to do with me?" Zhou Rong asked with a smile.

"As I said, you know that this group of robbers is quite tricky, because you know who these robbers are, so even if the general goes to it, he will not dare to take action easily, after today, you will let others know that there is a guest in the General's Mansion, and if this guest helps the general to kill the robbers, then the credit will go to the General's Mansion. ”

"His Highness came to the General's Mansion by accident, how can I calculate this step?"

"It was only by chance that I came to the General's Mansion, but it was inevitable that I would pass by the border, as long as the General was at the border, then when I killed the group of robbers, the credit would only be his, and the generals of the border army would not dare to compete with a general. ”

"That team of robbers does not cross the border, even if they intercept passing merchants, they only rob money, and do not harm people's lives, Zhao Guoben does not have to deal with these things. ”

"No, that's still something that needs to be dealt with. ”

"Your Highness laughed, this kind of merit in the General's Mansion did not dare to fight, daring to intercept His Highness must be the instruction of a big man, we can't afford to provoke this kind of big man, we can't wait to stay away, how can we go to this troubled water. ”

"You are dishonest. It doesn't matter, the bento is a gift from this king, you just need to remember that my advantage is not so easy to take advantage of. Xu An jumped off the roof and looked at Zhou Rong's eyes and said.

"Zhou Rong is willing to be dispatched by His Royal Highness. Zhou Rong saluted and said.

"I'll remember that. ”

"Finally, I'll tell you something, I don't know the student who died. ”

After Xu An finished speaking, he walked out of the small courtyard, holding a wine jug in his right hand and an iron sword in his left hand, staggering out of the General's Mansion and heading towards the city gate.

............

In this chapter, I wrote out three possibilities, and everyone who has read the previous one can guess who the three possibilities are talking about, and I hinted at it in the chapter chasing the sunset, but that's only one of the links, and things won't be so simple.

There is also the chapter of the wedge, I deliberately wrote that it was a female student, in fact, I was inducing everyone, the student Xu An really didn't know, it was a classmate, Xu An didn't know what her name was, Xu Zhiguo saw Xu An because of this matter, he thought they were very familiar, and there would be unfinished words in the chapter of the wedge.

Some people may ask Xu An why he reacted so much to someone he didn't know, and I will write the next chapter.
