It was getting dark outside the pavilion, and from Xiao Wu going to his cousin to drink at noon, to carrying He Zhu back to the pavilion again, they were busy all afternoon.

Wang Bi picked up the fur cloak and was about to go out, He Xingyuan had already woken up from He Zhu's grief and indignation, and hurriedly stopped him: "Gongzi stays, are you going like this?" ”

Wang Bei stopped his steps and looked back at the shopkeeper He, Xiao He Zhu was injured and a little frightened, and at this time his small body curled up in He Xingyuan's arms. It's good that the king doesn't look at it, but he is even more angry when he sees this scene, this Laqing doesn't even let go of a seven or eight-year-old child, and if he is allowed to be so rampant, I don't know how many people will be harmed in the future.

He Xingyuan hugged He Zhu's small body, looked at Wang and said: "I have long seen through the officialdom before I resigned, Western Xia has experienced several civil strife, if you are in a power struggle, it is not as simple as grabbing a knife." ”

Hearing him say this, Wang stood still, now it was not just for self-preservation, he turned around and walked back to the room, took out the knife He Xingyuan gave him from the cabinet, and weighed it in his hand. "Shopkeeper He, are you sure that this knife has no other secrets?"

"I'm the shopkeeper of a blacksmith shop, isn't that confirmed?! Even the gold wire of the handle of the knife has been recoiled. Childe, don't worry. He Xingyuan said affirmatively.

Wang Bei held the knife in his hand and said to He Xingyuan: "Shopkeeper He, now the matter is as simple as this knife. You take care of Zhu'er, I'll be back in a moment. ”

Wang next to the knife left the pavilion and went straight to the mansion, today he was very lucky, he happened to be in the mansion. The father and son were drinking and chatting about the affairs of the court, and they heard that the family came to report that there was a prince next to the king who asked to see him. said to Manchang: "This king came just right, Chang'er just came to see him." "Let's greet him under the porch with his usual routine.

Seeing that the king came in a hurry, he still held a knife in his hand, and it was very strange. After greeting each other, Manba led the king to the banquet and drank and talked together. But he didn't sit next to the king, he looked at Manchang, who looked like a young version of General Manba, who was also in his early twenties.

Man Chang was also looking at the king, and saw him with his hair tied, a cyan cotton robe, and a pure white jade belt around his waist, dressed in Han clothes. The facial features are holding the knife, and they are heroic. Instead, the king opened his mouth and said: "I have heard the name of the prince in the next place, and today I am here to say goodbye to the man, and I must meet the third son." He threw the knife in his hand as he threw it away.

I often heard Wang Pan say that he came to look for himself, thinking that his father had mentioned himself to Wang Pan, and Wang Pan came to admire him, and did not pay much attention to what Wang Pan said, but was attracted by the knife in Wang Bi's hand. Wang Bian came with a knife, and he didn't put it down when he came in, and at first he subconsciously looked at Wang Bian's actions, but then he saw that Wang Bian had no malice, and the scabbard of this knife was very attractive, but he didn't know what the knife in the scabbard looked like.

Wang Jian saw that Manchang was looking at the knife, so he handed the knife to Manchang with both hands: "I originally intended to give this knife to Mangongzi, you can take a look first." ”

I often heard him say "originally", and said "look at it first and then talk about it" in my heart, and took the knife to unsheath the knife, the cold light was cold, the blade was sharp, and the blade was beautiful, and I couldn't put it down. The king waited for him to look at it and said, "How does the prince look at this knife?" ”

He walked to the empty part of the hall, held the knife in both hands, waved it for a moment, and then waved it towards the candle flame burning in the hall. The light of the knife flashed, and the wick in the candle was sharpened, and the flame of the candle jumped, and a small cluster of candle flames jumped on the knife. The commander of the Flying Dragon Garden is not in vain, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and the speed and accuracy of this knife make Wang Bian admire.

Man Baa laughed, he was very appreciative of his son's exposed hand, Man Chang also smiled, put the knife in the sheath and handed it back to the king, and said in his mouth: "Good knife, good knife"

Wang Bian did not take the knife, but gently pushed: "Alas, this knife should be given to the prince now!" ”

Manba and Manchang looked at the king's expression wrong, since the knife was sent so reluctantly. Manchang's personality is very similar to Manba, and he is also bold, and when he saw the king like this, he asked, "What does Wang Gongzi mean by this?" No merit, although I like this knife, I can't take people's love for no reason. ”

Wang said with a sad face: "I bought this knife from the market, and it was because of this knife that Lord Man knew that I had a grudge with Ji Laqing. ”

Manba knew that Wang Bi had a grudge with Ji Laqing, and he also saw the incident because of this knife: "What Wang Gongzi said is right, that Japanese Raqing is a little too deceitful, but even if Wang Gongzi buys this knife, why should he give it to Chang'er." ”

Wang Bei paused and said: "Don't ask the old general, I also appreciate the third son, and the third prince should leave this knife." ”

Hearing what the king said, he looked at his father with a puzzled face, and lowered his face: "Prince Wang, don't you look down on the old man?" ”

The king asked even more difficult: "I came here today to resign, just to respect the prestige of Lord Man, and there is unspeakable pain below......

Seeing this, Manchang hurriedly said: "Daddy, it's better to invite the son to sit down, let's talk while drinking" Seeing the king's situation, he guessed that the king had a grudge with Ji Laqing, so he said: "Prince Wang, please take a seat, if you can afford to look down on the old man, drink this glass of wine, let's talk slowly." ”

The king sat down next to him and raised his glass to Manchang, turned to look at Manchang and asked, "I take the liberty of asking, did Gongzi have a sword competition with Ji Laqing a few days ago?" ”

This matter is not clear, he looked at his son and frowned, thinking that this spicy father and son have always been arrogant, and Spicy Lei is insidious, and he sees the wind and steers. How does his son have anything to do with Ji Laqing?

Manchang also knew that his father didn't like the spicy father and son, so he said: "The sword competition is every month, and the spicy Qing has Liang Yi's support, and he got a lot of good swords from the family property that was confiscated from the Pang Mansion, and won a lot of money with these swords." I can't look past him and teach him a lesson. ”

Hearing Manchang say this, he didn't blame Manchang, but felt that Manchang did the right thing: "The lesson is that you just have less dealings with that traitor, so as not to fall into the trap." ”

He said "yes" in his mouth, and the king continued: "Alas, the prince still accepted this knife, so as not to be taken away by that spicy celebration and make him even more arrogant." ”

Manba and Manchang asked at the same time, "Prince Wang, why is this?" ”

Wang took a sip of wine, put down the wine glass and said: "In order to win the son, Ji Laqing made a feud with the shopkeeper of Nahe, and took advantage of the fact that there was no one in the house of the shopkeeper He, smashed the shop and kicked the son of the shopkeeper He. You know, that kid was only seven or eight years old, and he almost lost his life by kicking him? ”

Hearing this, his usual eyes had already widened, his brows were furrowed, and the annoying faces of Ji Lei and Ji Ji Qing appeared in front of him. "Damn!" He squeezed the words between his teeth.

Wang Pan knew that when General Manba was out on a campaign, he was also known for his strict military discipline, not only treating prisoners favorably, but also never hurting the people. Such an upright person is naturally not used to these things. He simply added fuel to the fire and said, "I'll tell you the truth." Today I received an edict to let me bring this knife into the palace, the old general of the royal rules understands, and tomorrow I will follow the guards sent by Ji Ralei into the palace. If confiscating the knife under the pretext is a trivial matter, if I accidentally go to the wrong place, I am afraid that my life will be lost. ”

Hearing what the king said, he slapped the table and said angrily: "Old horseman! Dare to falsely spread the word. ”

The king's words were both false and true, and when he saw that he was angry, the king persuaded him: "It is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood and there is no evidence, so I have come to give the knife to the prince today." The shopkeeper He told me that he originally wanted to give this knife to the third son, if it weren't for the arrogance of the Japanese spicy celebration, it would also come to me. ”

Thinking that Ji Lei actually used his power for personal gain, he said in his heart: "No, I'll go to the emperor, this Ji Lei is arrogant with his position." ”

Chang Chang hurriedly said: "Daddy is angry, this palace is not his duty as a guard, and Feilong Yuan is not a vegetarian. Tomorrow, I will order the Flying Dragon Garden to protect Wang Gongzi throughout the process. ”

Wang Jian frowned: "This is great, but I am worried that the father and son will have a grudge against General Man because of this." ”

Man Baa snorted coldly: "Wang Gongzi, what did you just say?" Do you want to design a frame-up? Without waiting for the king to answer, he stroked his beard and laughed: "Hahaha, the child is a spicy thunder, I haven't seen him fight on the battlefield, but it will cause yin damage!" That being the case, don't blame the old man for not allowing you to harm the court again. ”

Chang looked at the king and then at Manba: "Daddy, don't you have any ideas?" ”

He smiled, picked up his wine glass and asked the king: "I am going back to the court this time, assisting Emperor Yizong, and it is also my duty to eradicate traitors." Wang Gongzi, the old man also heard that you are resourceful, and since you came to see you with a knife today, you must have a plan in your heart. Let's get it straight! ”

Wang Bi also admired the character of Manba's father and son at this time, and when he saw the old general say this, he did not hide it: "I came to Xia Kingdom, and I saw some traitorous ministers sending troops to disturb the people for their own selfish interests, and secretly escorting the smuggling of illicit salt. This will do no harm to the relations between the two countries and the people's livelihood. General Man is so righteous, I admire it, and now I will be a villain. Tomorrow, if I can summon Ji Raqing today, I can let him be my stand-in, try what tricks that Ji Lei makes, and lead me into the forbidden area. ”

Hearing Wang say this, he also had a plan in his heart: "As long as the prince can let the saint summon Ji Laqing, I have a way to make him become the prince." The two looked at each other tacitly.

Chang Chang turned to Manba: "Daddy, this matter will be handed over to the child, Yi Weisi is now constantly expanding the garrison of the imperial city, and now he has been stationed in Guanghanmen, if he is not controlled, I am afraid that he will become a hidden danger of the imperial city in the future." In this matter, I will join hands with Wang Gongzi to extinguish the momentum of the spicy thunder. ”

Wang saw that the trip was worthwhile, and the father and son of Manba, whether in public or private, would fight back against the conspiracy with him tomorrow, so he gave the knife to Manchang and returned to the pavilion.

Wu Su, the cousin of Xiao Wu in the pavilion, was muttering in his heart, not knowing what the king invited him to. But seeing that the king still gave him silver, he not only gave it to his subordinates and said: "Tomorrow, Brother Lao Wu will see the people who broke into the Forbidden Palace, don't go to interrogate, just handle it directly according to the requirements of Lord Jila." ”

This is too simple, and even if he gets the money, it is a form of command, so why not do it? Wu Su carried the silver in his arms and left happily. Wang Bei asked He Xingyuan and He Zhu to stay in the pavilion today, and told Xiao Wu to go back and pack up his things.

He was about to return to the Song Kingdom, and such a careful counterattack plan made Wang Fang a little excited.
