Chapter Eighty-Six: Step by Step Crisis

As soon as Song Xunwen and Cheng Ao walked into the room, they saw King Wei standing in front of the window chatting and gossiping with a teenager.

Hearing the footsteps of everyone, King Wei turned around and beckoned the young man to join him.

Song Xunwen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he saw that under the candlelight, King Wei's face showed a rare peaceful look in recent days, and at this moment it seemed to be the same as the wise young prince back then.

In an instant, it seemed to go back in time, and it was the day when the two of them worked together to guide the country.

Song Xunwen's face couldn't help but smile, strode forward, and saluted:

"Subordinate Song Xunwen has seen the prince!" Behind him, Cheng Ao followed and saluted.

After the ceremony, the two of them were just about to straighten up, when they heard the young man next to King Wei suddenly laugh and said:

"General Song, the head of the class, I haven't seen you for many years, and both of them have been cleared."

Song Xunwen was stunned for a moment, raised his head and didn't speak, King Wei already smiled:

"Haha, don't you recognize Xun'er? It's no wonder that Xun'er was only three years old when she left Dongping, and now she is eight years old. ”

Song Xunwen and Cheng Ao were both stunned, but their expressions were different, Song Xunwen first trembled and his face was happy, but his expression instantly became solemn, and he almost subconsciously looked at Cheng Ao next to him.

I saw that Cheng Ao's face was happy, and he seemed to be sincerely happy to see Liu Xun, and said loudly:

"It turned out to be His Royal Highness! The villain hugged you back then and taught you to sing! Although the prince was young and his voice was still tender, the song "Sighing Lang" was remarkable and talented, if it weren't for your identity as the son, the villain would have detained you and brought you as his own apprentice. ”

After speaking, he shook his head and sighed, with a lot of unwillingness.

After hearing this, Liu Xun smiled and bowed, and replied:

"The class master has won the prize. The so-called one day for the teacher, for life as a teacher, I taught the class master back then, no day dare to forget, meet today, should be greeted with a teacher's ceremony, but today is not the time to talk about the old days, another day Xun'er will come to visit, thank the teacher. ”

When Cheng Ao heard this, he was surprised, coughed lightly, and said with a smile:

"The villain's status is humble, how dare I be the name of the 'master' of the world, the son of the world has tormented me."

Liu Xun smiled slightly, and was not in a hurry to answer, but stretched out his hand to be polite, and only after everyone sat down did he reply:

"Although the song "Sigh Erlang" is short, the meaning is quite deep, and there are even many words and phrases that imply the way of the king, but unfortunately the people have a lot of misunderstandings about you, thinking that the play is lowly and cannot be deeply acquainted, but in fact, it is not."

Liu Xun paused, looked into Cheng Ao's eyes, and said with a smile:

"For example, the master of the class is loyal and good to a country, and he will never do anything to deceive his superiors and subordinates, and betray his righteousness."

When Cheng Ao heard the last sentence, his heart sank, and he subconsciously wanted to avoid Liu Xun's eyes, as if Liu Xun's small eyes had a thrilling coercion, which made people feel scared from the bottom of their hearts.

Cheng Ao couldn't hold back so he didn't look away and looked at him, but the cold sweat on his back trickled down, and he groaned for a moment before coughing lightly and replied with a dry smile:

"The prince really tormented me! The villain is ashamed! ”

At this moment, although Song Xunwen's face was still tired, his spirit was much better than when he first came.

He sat up straight, turned his eyes to look at Cheng Ao beside him, and smiled:

"The son of the world is wise, and the master of the class must do his best, so that he can make up for his mistakes."

Cheng Ao's face was stunned, his mind turned sharply, and he was just about to speak, when he saw King Wei wave his hand and said:

"General Song's words are serious, I didn't notice it that day, I was kidnapped by Liu Xiu, and the class leader threw a rat trap, and he had nothing to do with it, and the so-called 'making up for the fault' is impossible to talk about."

Speaking of this, he paused, and looked at Song Xunwen's eyes with a cold glint flashing, but he still had a kind smile on his face, and said:

"This time, I will find the two of you to discuss."

Song Xunwen was extremely uncomfortable by King Wei's eyes, but he didn't dare to show it at the moment, and hurriedly replied with Cheng Ao:

"Lord Wang, please speak."

King Wei nodded, looked directly at Song Xunwen, his face was solemn, and said:

"Now that the post of prime minister and the commander of the camp has been missing for a few days, Liu Xiu has made a lot of moves during this time, constantly walking rumors and winning over people's hearts, we can't wait any longer, otherwise we will be too passive."

After hearing this, Song Xunwen put away his expression, nodded, and replied:

"The subordinates also think so, now Liu Xiu's influence in Dongping is expanding day by day, although Chen Fuxin has a little bit of a holiday with the prince, but after all, he is loyal to the prince and loyal to the country, after he and Sun Zhengwu died, there are two less people who can check and balance Liu Xiu, and the situation is very unfavorable to us, but I don't know who the prince will let inherit the official positions of the two?"

King Wei's eyes flashed, he pondered for a while, shook his head, and said:

"The candidate for this king has not yet been decided, so I asked Lord Song to come to discuss it late at night."

Song Xunwen was so clever, seeing that King Wei's eyes were silent, he knew in his heart that he also had concerns about Cheng Ao, so he didn't break it, nodded his head, and replied:

"My subordinates understand."

King Wei nodded, took a sip of tea, turned to look at Cheng Ao, and said with a smile:

"Class Master?"

Cheng Ao was stunned for a moment, and only after a moment did he react, and responded:

"The villain is here."

King Wei glanced at him and said:

"Master of the class, although I worked with Liu Xiu in the battle of Pingyan and Yan against Yan, since he came to Dongping again, he has wanted to seize power and hegemony everywhere, which is not conducive to defending the country."

King Wei paused here when he said this, and groaned, his eyes seemed to be a little confused, and after a long time, he said:

"Back then, you were high-spirited, intellectual, and wanted to make a big career and do a career, but I couldn't stand you and let you go to Luojing to be the head of a drama troupe, in fact, every time I think about this, I feel a lot of guilt in my heart, if it wasn't for the decision of the year, the position of prime minister may be up to you."

After speaking, he sighed, and without saying a word, even Song Xunwen's eyes flashed with a hint of different feelings, and he bowed his head and was silent.

Cheng Ao's body trembled, and the past instantly came to his heart, with mixed feelings in his heart, and inexplicable feelings in his eyes, which flashed by.

There was silence in the room, and no one spoke.

Liu Xun turned his head to look at Cheng Ao, only to see that this man was clenching his fists at the moment, his brows were furrowed deeply, and he seemed to have fallen into the memories of the past.

Once upon a time, he was also a good man with the ambition to conquer the world, thinking of riding on a war horse and galloping with blood, shouting and killing the enemy!

The young man who was angry with his horse in fresh clothes and proud of his life didn't seem to go far, but galloped on his horse, and sometimes the horse man stood up and shouted:

I am proud to hold a three-foot sword, look at the world, invincible, and should make great achievements in the world, and help my king achieve the hegemony of the world!

How can a good man be desolate and do nothing!

His teenage years seemed to be right in front of him, the figures overlapped, and the "two" roared at the same time:

I'm not reconciled!

But after a few moments, he was dejected and depressed.

Just when the army of Yan was on the side, he led 5,000 men and horses to attack the Yan army, and after breaking its 30,000 soldiers and horses, he was transferred from the battlefield by King Wei, and asked him to do what he was the master of the family, what to say to do a long-term layout, and when Dongping was in trouble, he used his martial arts to assassinate the "power seeker" by surprise, so as to do his part to defend the country.

Amusing!

He smiled bitterly in his heart, how could he not know the intentions of King Wei, who had just ascended the throne, but he was afraid that he would be so powerful that he would not be able to control it and lose the throne.

But in a moment, his mind was full of thoughts, and his past in Luojing City was vividly remembered, just like every night when no one was there over the years, bit by bit engraved in his mind, and he never forgot the slightest.

Going to Luojing alone, in a foreign place, with nothing on his body, it is a joke to even live, not to mention a foothold there and a family class!

After setbacks, suffering, discouragement, and no one cared, he met the "prince" outside Luojing City, by the moat, and saw that he was clever and had some martial arts, so he took him in.

The world is impermanent, the enemy in his heart back then, but now he has become his savior, after learning his purpose, the "prince" is not to blame, he smiled, secretly helped, in addition to letting him start a family, but also step by step he became a very prestigious empire, a hard-to-find family owner.

"The prince" mind, how can he not know, only to repay him with all his heart and return him with his life.

He smiled bitterly in his heart, fell asleep late at night, and woke up in his dream, what was it for?

Is it because of the betrayal of King Wei, or because of the grace of the "prince", or because of his two children?

A hint of sweetness suddenly surged in his heart, the mother-in-law at home should sleep now.

Is there herself in her dreams?

Thinking of his wife and his children, Cheng Ao's heart fluttered, his eyes flashed, he looked up at King Wei, and said:

"Lord Wang, Cheng Ao never thought about the position of prime minister, and the villain worked for the 'prince' wholeheartedly to repay the kindness of the 'prince'."

King Wei looked at Cheng Ao's gaze, as if he was infected by his sudden blooming momentum, stood up suddenly, walked up to him with his hands in his hands, patted him on the shoulder and said:

"You have this heart, this king is very pleased, as long as you serve with all your heart, this king will protect you with glory and wealth, and your power is monstrous."

Cheng Ao sneered in his heart, but his face showed sincere fear, took a step back, knelt on the ground, and said:

"The villain doesn't dare to ask for extravagance, he just wants to repay the kindness of the 'prince', and nothing else to ask for!"

King Wei glanced at him, laughed, and said:

"Get up."

When Cheng Ao got up, King Wei sat down and drank all the tea on the table, looking very happy, as if he had swept away all the time in the past few days, he smiled slightly, and added:

"This king came to you late at night, and I ask you for help if I have something important."

Cheng Aoqian thanked:

"The prince is polite, just give an order, and the villain will obey."

King Wei slowly put down the teacup in his hand and said in a deep voice:

"Liu Xiu is now busy planting eyeliner everywhere in Dongping, and he is a lot lax in the defense of the palace, I want you to take his head within ten days and get rid of this scourge of defending the country, can you do it?"

Cheng Ao didn't answer yet, he just listened, "Cheng Class Master," I saw that Liu Xun, who was silent behind everyone, suddenly spoke, and said:

"The more people who assassinated Liu Xiu, the better, only three people are enough, and if there are too many people, it is easy to expose their whereabouts,"

He paused, smiled slightly, and continued in a still immature voice:

""Sigh Lang" this song is wonderful, although I was young at the time, but this song has been around for five years, and it has not been dispersed, I heard that Cheng Ying has won the true biography of the class master, why don't you let her stay here these days and teach me how about singing?"

Cheng Ao's smile froze, his face turned pale instantly, he secretly gritted his teeth, and only replied lightly after a while:

"Being able to teach the son of the world to sing is a blessing for a little girl."

Liu Xun smiled slightly and said:

"The class master is polite, and there is one more thing, I think it may be helpful to the class master."
