When King Qi came to the side hall, Chu Huan had already arrived at the door of the hall and waited, and several big men in civilian clothes followed King Qi and came to the courtyard.

The group looked like they were all dusty, King Qi looked haggard, Chu welcomed him forward, and arched his hand: "Lord Wang!" ”

King Qi glanced up at Chu Huan, his lips moved, but he didn't speak, and went straight to the house, Chu Huan looked at several big men behind King Qi, one of them stepped forward, and said softly: "Chu Du, we followed your instructions and went to Zhongyi Village, and before we arrived, we met the prince halfway through, and then escorted all the way back." ”

This person is a camel rider who followed the wolf baby to Chu Huan's command back then, called Ma Zheng, shrewd and capable.

At the beginning, there were more than a dozen camel riders who followed Chu Huan with the wolf baby, among which Ma Zheng and Liu Suifeng were both very capable, and when Anyi was tracking down the underground grottoes of Tianmen Road, these two people followed Chu Huan's side, but they made a lot of contributions, and all the camel riders were settled, and Ma Zheng and Liu Suifeng were arranged by Chu Huan in the personal guards beside him.

Qi Hong was originally the commander of the personal guards around Chu Huan, but Chu Huan considered the safety of the queen who stayed in Jiazhou, and ordered Qi Hong to lead people to stay in Jiazhou to protect the queen, while Ma Zheng followed Chu Huan's side and was temporarily in charge of the personal guards around Chu Huan.

In fact, with Chu Huan's martial arts today, even the enemy he can't deal with is unstoppable, and the purpose of leaving the personal guards is not to let these people protect their own safety, but these people are very loyal to themselves, if there is something that can't be separated, you can arrange these people to do it.

"Only the prince?" Chu Huan frowned, although he knew that only King Qi was coming, he still looked behind Ma Zheng and asked softly, "Miss Mo is not with the prince?" ”

Ma Zheng shook his head and said: "We follow the location instructed by Chu Du, all the way to Zhongyi Village, only about ten miles away from Zhongyi Village, and we are bumping into the prince from the direction of Zhongyi Village, he was alone at the time, we were going to follow Chu Du's instructions, bring Miss Mo back together, but the prince said, Miss Mo will not go with us, so we don't have to bother, since the prince said so, we! He didn't continue, obviously since King Qi spoke, Ma Zheng and the others were not easy to disobey.

Chu Huan bowed slightly, Pei Ji was behind Chu Huan at this time, and said: "Ma Zheng, Chu Du has already been called the king, called the King of Chu, and he can't be called Chu Du anymore in the future!" ”

Ma Zheng and several big men behind him were stunned, and then they all showed joy, and knelt down together, "My subordinates meet the king, congratulations to the king, congratulations to the king!" ”

Chu Huan raised his hand to let everyone get up, and said warmly: "You have all worked hard, go down and rest first, yes, Ma Zheng, you are ready, and you will leave the day after tomorrow to go out with this king to do errands." ”

Ma Zheng didn't ask much, said yes, and led everyone to retreat.

Chu Huan turned around and hesitated slightly, but Pei Ji had already raised his hand and patted Chu Huan's arm gently, and said softly: "Second brother, there are some things that must always be explained clearly. ”

Chu Huan bowed slightly, Pei Ji didn't say much, and left, Chu Huan slowly walked into the side hall, only to see King Qi sitting on the chair he had made earlier, leaning back, his hands crossed across his chest, with a tired look, tilting his head, staring at the beams of the house, stunned, and didn't seem to notice that Chu Huan entered the room, staring at the beams of the house in a daze.

Chu Huan sat down on a chair next to him, which did not break the silence in the room, and after a while, King Qi said, "How do you know that Ling Shuang will be in Zhongyizhuang, and how do you know that I will go to Zhongyizhuang to find her?" ”

Chu Huan's expression was calm, and he didn't answer immediately, but said: "The prince is a little reckless this time, you leave Jiazhou alone, in case there is a mistake, the consequences are unimaginable." ”

"I'm just a waste, life and death don't matter anymore." A slight smile appeared at the corner of King Qi's mouth: "You know my feelings for Ling Shuang, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, even if she goes to the ends of the earth, I will go to find her." ”

Chu Huan bowed slightly, hesitated, and finally said: "The queen sent someone to send a letter to tell Ling Shuang's life experience, we didn't expect that Ling Shuang would be!" He sighed and said, "Knowing a son is like a mother, the queen knows that after Ling Shuang knows her background, she will definitely go to Zhongyizhuang to find traces of her parents, and the prince will definitely catch up with him regardless of a qiē." ”

"So it's the queen mother?" King Qi smiled faintly and said, "After you received the letter from the queen mother, you sent someone to Zhongyizhuang to find us?" ”

Chu Huan nodded and said, "Originally, I was going to go in person, but Tongzhou has just been taken, and the situation is not stable, so I can only send someone to go." Fortunately, the prince is safe and sound, and I am relieved. ”

"You don't want to know how Ling Shuang is doing now?" King Qi sat up straight and stared at Chu Huan: "Why don't you ask Ling Shuang why she didn't come back?" ”

"If the prince wants to say, I won't ask the prince and he will tell you." Chu Huan said: "If the prince is unwilling to say, why should I ask more and make the prince embarrassed?" ”

"There's nothing to worry about." King Qi said: "Ling Shuang told me that she didn't want to see me again, and she said that I had a grudge with her and would never owe each other again." Odd smile: "I didn't finally understand until then that I had been wishful thinking all along." In fact, he has never been happy since he followed me, I should have noticed it a long time ago, I always thought that she was because I was different from her, and I had scruples, I have been trying to eliminate this barrier, hoping that one day she can really accept me! ”

Chu Huan sighed and couldn't help but say: "Ask what the situation in the world is, the prince's feelings for Ling Shuang, Ling Shuang is naturally clear, but!" He shook his head and said, "But there are many feelings in the world that cannot be forced." ”

"You're right." King Qi nodded and said, "Since she doesn't like me, I naturally won't force it." ”

"Lord Wang!"

King Qi interrupted: "She is now alone in Zhongyizhuang, I think unless the person she really likes in her heart appears, it seems that she is not ready to go out of Zhongyizhuang in this life." ”

"Someone you like?" Chu Huan frowned.

King Qi's eyes showed a slight anger, but he obviously tried his best to suppress it, and said lightly: "So far, don't you still understand the meaning of my words?" ”

Chu Huan's expression was solemn, but he did not speak.

"Chu Huan, do you still remember when we were in Yunshan." King Qi leaned forward and stared at Chu Huan's eyes: "When I first saw Ling Shuang, I was really attracted to her, and I couldn't extricate myself from it, I sometimes think that as long as she can like me and be with me, even if I become a beggar, I have no regrets." ”

Chu Huan just smiled bitterly, knowing that King Qi's feelings for Ling Shuang were really unforgettable, it was just the love between men and women, and no one else could interfere, Luohua was ruthless and intentional, but it was not something he could change.

"I grew up in the palace since I was a child, and all I saw were groveling people like Sun Desheng." King Qi said slowly: "After knowing you, I feel that you are my best friend in this life, really, I have always regarded you as my best friend, in fact, at that time I didn't think about competing for the throne at all, in my heart, even if the crown prince can't ascend the throne, the third brother will replace him, I just want to be a prince without any troubles, with my own friends!" A peaceful smile appeared on his face: "When I let you enter Beijing, I didn't think that you would have a high-ranking official, do you know what I was thinking at the time?" ”

Chu Huan shook his head.

"I know that sooner or later, I will have to leave the palace and have my own mansion, and even one day, I will have my own fief, and when the time comes, I will leave the capital and go to my own fief." King Qi's eyes flashed with a hint of longing: "To be able to make Ling Shuang my imperial concubine, with a friend like you by my side, as long as you are by my side, I think even if I am a prince who does nothing, I will definitely be very happy." We can hide from Lingshuang, go to the casino to gamble, we can go hunting on horseback, and at that time I always thought that as long as you were by my side, there would be many new things for us to spend happily through. ”

The corners of Chu Huan's eyes twitched slightly, hesitated, and finally said: "If the first emperor is really a good emperor, the country and the people are safe, and the world is peaceful, the prince's wish at that time may really come true." ”

King Qi laughed at himself and said, "You're just joking, and I won't take it seriously." Since I was born in the royal family, I am not destined to be peaceful. Looking up at the roof beams, "But I didn't understand this at the time, I didn't know that the battle for the royal throne was so bloody and cruel." On the night of Tongtian Palace, I almost died there, the third brother was majestic before, half of the ministers in the court were his people, and many people even thought that their father would eventually pass the throne to him, but in just one night, everything changed! The voice stopped suddenly, and Chu Huan even saw King Qi's hands trembling slightly.

After a period of silence, King Qi said slowly: "Since then, I have learned that it is not easy to be a prince of peace, even if I want to, others will not give me such a chance." He suddenly looked at Chu Huan and said, "Do you know, I was really scared at that time, I know that the third brother took risks, not because he really hated his father, but because he was also afraid, he was afraid of the prince, if there was no prince, the third brother and his henchmen, maybe they would not have taken such a risk." ”

"Power is always a double-edged sword." Chu Huan said: "Power can only be a tool, if you think about the people of the world, you can use such a tool to seek a better life for the people of the world, but if you lose your mind by such a tool, in the end it will definitely be a catastrophe." King Han rebelled, of course, because of the threat of the crown prince, but the most important reason was because he had been blinded by power! ”

"Maybe you have a point." King Qi nodded slightly: "Once you lose your mind by power, all feelings will disappear, husband and wife, brothers, fathers and sons, these are no longer important in the face of power." The third brother and the crown prince are shooting and secretly killing each other, and the father does not hesitate to let his son kill each other for the sake of power! His eyes stared at Chu Huan and asked, "You and I were like brothers at the beginning, but did you ever think that one day, because of power, you and I will no longer have the same affection?" ”R1058
