As the sun sets, Tongguan City has turned into a golden color, and the surrounding mountains are also golden, plus there are occasional snow stars scattered in the mountains, and the whole scenery is like a fantasy!

A general in his fifties was standing on top of the Guancheng of Tongguan, his hair was a little gray, he was wearing iron armor, and he was holding a broadsword in his hand! His appearance is very majestic, and at first glance he is a person who often gives orders!

He was looking into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking!

After another moment, a young general of about thirty years old strode over! This young general's face is somewhat similar to his, obviously his son or nephew!

"Father, there is really Li Gang among those people who entered the customs just now! I'm definitely not mistaken, that person is Li Gang! The young man said.

"Not bad! I can also see clearly, it's Li Gang! The gray-haired general nodded.

"And that young man, it seems that he really is His Royal Highness the Prince!" The young general said again.

The gray-haired general nodded!

"Ahh Father, have you seen that? Now that you've seen it, why send someone to put them under house arrest? Why don't you go and greet them? Seeing his father nodding, the young general said with some surprise.

"Let me ask you, you say, why did King Kang send someone to spread the news that someone was pretending to be His Royal Highness the Prince?" The gray-haired general said.

"This is very simple, because King Kang wants to ascend the throne as emperor! Now that His Majesty and the Emperor Taishang have been captured, and the whereabouts of the crown prince are unknown, he sent someone to say that the prince is impersonating, so that he can justifiably ascend the throne as the emperor! The young general said.

"You're right! A few days ago, I had already guessed King Kang's mind! Hmph, King Kang, King Kang, is so ambitious and wants to steal the throne! He thought that the emperor and the emperor were captured by the Jurchens, and he could be the emperor! He's not a simple person! A few days ago, I was speculating about where the real Prince was, but I didn't expect him to come to us! The gray-haired general said.

"Father, what should we do with this Royal Highness the Prince?" The young general said.

"What do you say?" The gray-haired general looked into the distance and asked his son casually.

"Father...... Can we kill the crown prince, give the prince's head to His Royal Highness King Kang, and support His Royal Highness King Kang's accession to the throne! At that time, His Royal Highness King Kang will definitely not treat us lightly, and we will definitely enjoy glory and wealth all the time! The young general thought for a moment and said.

"Confused!" The gray-haired general snorted softly.

"So what should we do now, according to my father's idea?" The young general was not convinced.

"Let me ask you, if His Royal Highness King Kang really ascended the throne and really gave us glory and wealth, what kind of glory and wealth would it be?" Gray-haired generals lead.

"What kind of glory and wealth? We can Yongzhen in the northwest, and my family is the first family in the northwest! The young general said.

"Our Fold family is now the first family in the Northwest! The seed army has been wiped out, Liu Jiajun has gone to the Central Plains, Qu Duan and others are from humble backgrounds and cannot be compared with us! Let's take refuge in King Kang, and when King Kang ascends the throne, at most we will keep our current position, can it be better? The gray-haired general said.

"This ......" the young general was stunned and said, "What did my father say?" ”

"I want to go further...... "The gray hair was silent for a long time, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he said.

"Further?" The young general was a little puzzled.

"Yan Zhi, think about the scene at the end of the Han Dynasty!" Gray-haired generals lead.

"The end of the Han Dynasty?" The young generals were becoming more and more confused.

"At the end of the Han Dynasty, the emperor was young, Cao Cao controlled the state affairs with the prime minister, and coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes to dominate the world! After Cao Cao, Cao Pi succeeded to the throne! The gray-haired general said slowly.

"This ...... Father, do you want to learn from Cao Cao? The young general finally understood, and said in horror.

"Haha...... You've finally guessed it! Yes, I want to learn Cao Cao! I'm Cao Cao, and you're Cao Pi! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is...... Emperor Han Xian! The gray-haired general laughed.

The young man was shocked to take the lead, and then he couldn't help laughing! The city of Tongguan was full of laughter from the two of them!

After a long time, the young general said: "Father, speaking of which, we must protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince well!" I will support him on the throne in the future! ”

The gray-haired general nodded and said, "This is natural!" But he's just a tool in our hands! He is in our hands, and we have the name of righteousness, and we can command the world, who dares to disobey? ”

The young general said, "In that case, should we go and see him now?" ”

The gray-haired general sneered and said, "Just a child, just a tool, why should we rush to meet him?" Sooner or later, I'm going to make him fall at my feet! Yan Zhi, you immediately spread the news of the arrival of the prince all over the world! King Kang wants people to think that the prince is impersonating, and I want people to know that the prince is in my hands! We must first let the officials in the northwest obey the orders of the prince, that is, obey the orders of our family! ”

The young general said goodbye with a happy face, and the gray-haired general was still standing there, he looked into the distance, and his mood was agitated! After a long time, he clenched his fists suddenly, and slowly said to himself: "My family has guarded the northwest for more than 500 years, during the Tang Dynasty, my family was already one of the northwest barriers, and during the Song Dynasty, my family was the main faction of the Western Army, and in the future, my family will unify the Central Plains!" Those waste emperors of the Tang and Song dynasties, they don't deserve to fold my shoes! Zhao Chen, this child, will be a big deal to give him an Anle Hou in the future! Hahahaha...... I can hope that I will be the lord of this world in the future......"

His laughter echoed from the towers......

*** ***

It was already dark, and Zhao Chen, Li Gang, Yue Fei, Wang Gui, and Zhang Xian entered a big house.

The five of them sat there, the room was lit with candles, and there were all kinds of delicacies, but none of them had the heart to eat.

"Teacher, is it really no danger for us to enter here?" Zhao Chen looked outside the house and said.

"It should be no danger...... It's just that His Royal Highness the Prince, Zhe Keqiu, Zhe Yan and his son are probably not fuel-efficient lamps, and the two of them are afraid that they also have other thoughts about the prince! Li Gang frowned and said.

"Other thoughts? Is the Son of Heaven coerced to order the princes? My Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now a strange commodity! A sneer appeared on Zhao Chen's face, and he said lightly.

The Zhe father and son put them into Tongguan and did not kill them, it must be because the Zhe father and son recognized their identities!

And the Zhe father and son have recognized their identities, but they are still under house arrest here, which must be because they have other concerns in their hearts!

After Zhao Chen came to this era, he has experienced a lot of things, and he is no longer the simple young man he was at the beginning! Especially after leaving Kaifeng, he followed Li Gang to learn the emperor's mind along the way, and at this moment he had already guessed the thoughts of Zhe's father and son! The father and son of the Zhe family now have only two ways to go, one is to kill him to curry favor with Zhao Gou, and the other is to support him, a young man, to ascend the throne as the emperor and control the government! Zhao Chen himself weighed the gains and losses here, and he was sure that the Zhe father and son would take the second method at the moment!

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right, he must want to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes! When the troubled times came, there were many chaotic ministers and thieves, first Zhang Bangchang and Li Bangyan, then Zhao Gou, and now there are Zhe Ke and Zhe Yan father and son! His Royal Highness is the crown prince, but he is persecuted by these traitorous ministers, which really makes His Highness suffer! Li Gang let out a long sigh.

"What kind of suffering am I, the people of the world are really suffering! At least I'm safe and sound! Since the father and son of the Zhe family want to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes, he will not harm my life in a short period of time! Either way, we're safe now! Zhao Chen showed a smile on his face and said.

He's not heartless, he's just having fun in the midst of suffering! He's been nervous all this time, and now he's going to find a way to relax no matter what!

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, I have something to say to you!" Li Gang nodded, and after a while, he said again.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the three of us brothers will go outside and watch first, lest anyone break in!" Hearing that Li Gang seemed to be about to speak to Zhao Chen alone, Yue Fei stood up and said.

"There are three of them!" Zhao Chen nodded.

Yue Fei, Wang Gui, and Zhang Xian had already walked out, and only Li Gang and Zhao Chen were left in the room.

Li Gang pondered for a moment and said, "Your Highness, I took you into Tongguan before, and that was a last resort!" Now only in the northwest can we gain strength and compete with King Kang and the Jurchens! So, there is danger in connivance, and we must get in here too! Now that you can ask for it, the father and son have bad intentions, although Your Highness will not be harmed for the time being, but I am afraid that the future will not be easy! ”

"That's nothing!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Highness, you must keep in mind two words - forbearance! You have to be patient, now we are all going to follow the father and son! When our strength is enough, or when the opportunity comes, we will attack again in one fell swoop, eradicate the Zhe father and son, and master the army! Li Gang said.

"I understand! I will do what the teacher says! Forbearance, we will all forbear in the future! Zhao Chen gritted his teeth and said.
