The candlelight in the study was flickering, and the sandalwood was swirling, which seemed very quiet, and Ji Qingchen sat alone in front of the desk and meditated quietly. On the bookcase, there are gifts given by several brothers when they go to the house to congratulate, this is Zhang Rang specially sent to the study for his purpose, he doesn't pay much attention to the congratulatory gifts of the other brothers, only Ji Ping, Ji Hongchang and Ji Wen give special attention to the gifts, and also very carefully checked, the second prince Ji Ping gave him a pair of jade, emerald green, crystal clear, very good-looking, if it is put in King's Landing City for sale, it is definitely worth three thousand taels of silver; The third prince Ji Hongchang gave a bow, he is a person who practices martial arts, and he can see at a glance that this bow is an extraordinary product, it has a price and no market, and it is something that martial artists dream of; As for the fourth prince Ji Wen, although he only sent a folding fan, the "goshawk travel map" on it was from the hand of the seventh prince Ji Man, and the inscription on the fan was written by himself himself, which shows that it took a lot of thought.

The reason why he attaches special importance to the gifts given by these three people is not that the gifts given by the three people are very special, but because from today's banquet, he has faintly noticed a little clue, that is, in addition to Ji Qian is the son-in-law and has a certain threat to the position of the prince, now the only ones who can really compete for the position of the crown prince and have strong power are Ji Ping, Ji Hongchang and Ji Wen, and with the judgment and analysis of the three of them on the grim situation that Dayan is facing now, they can be called talented and confident.

Such a talent is the real candidate for the crown prince that Emperor Yan needs!

That's why he had to deal with it carefully, and he had to make a judgment through the gifts given by the three of them to determine the hearts of the three people, so that he could deal with them calmly when he got along with the three of them in the future.

Because he knew that for a long time to come, these three people would be his real opponents!

Through today's contact with the three of them, coupled with the analysis made from the gifts given by the three of them, Ji Qingchen didn't dare to say that he had a comprehensive understanding of the three people's hearts, but he also had a rough bottom in his heart.

As far as the third prince Ji Hongchang is concerned, although he is very cold to himself, and even faintly has a little hostility, Ji Qingchen found that Ji Hongchang is a bold and powerful person. Such a person has a resolute character, a clear distinction between grievances and grievances, and likes to fight head-on in a dignified manner, but hates and dislikes intrigues, and hates and dislikes people who are cowardly and cowardly.

Therefore, he knew that if he wanted to get along with Ji Hongchang, he must have enough strength to convince the other party. If you are an opponent with Ji Hongchang, at least you don't need to be on guard at all times that he will hurt people with secret arrows or use insidious intrigues to calculate himself. What you should pay attention to is to consider how much strength you have, and how you can defeat Ji Qingchen in a dignified confrontation. As long as he has absolute strength, he can defeat Ji Hongchang in one fell swoop, Ji Hongchang is a person who knows how to measure.

And the fourth prince Ji Wen is just the opposite, because of the full reading of poetry and books, Ji Wen has the benevolence and filial piety advocated by Confucianism, plus he is easy-going, and the book is very angry, and he is more affectionate, Ji Qingchen knows that he should treat each other with sincerity when he gets along with Ji Wen, if he is an opponent with Ji Wen, he thinks that even if he loses at that time, at least he does not have to worry about the other party will be killed.

The person who really makes Ji Qingchen jealous is the second prince Ji Ping, when he gets along with Ji Ping, he finds that the other party seems to be very close to him, and very approachable, but as long as you observe carefully, you will find that no matter what is said between the two, talking or drinking, there is always a layer of estrangement between the two when they get along, and Ji Qingchen is also very clear about this estrangement, which is because of the distrust between the two and mutual wariness. However, for Ji Qingchen, the most important thing about his jealousy of Ji Wen is that he can't see through Ji Ping, whether it is treating people or dealing with things, Ji Ping's performance is a little too perfect, but how can there be perfect people in the world? So he knows that people like Ji Ping are either too ordinary, too ordinary, and too simple; Either the Chen Mansion is too deep, hiding all his shortcomings and desires, and he is a treacherous and loyal person, and he knows that Ji Ping is definitely not a simple ordinary person!

With this consideration, today's banquet has ended, and the guests and hosts have basically reached the fullest, but his mood is happy, but he seems to be very concentrated. Because he encountered two assassinations on the way back to Yan this time, this made him understand a truth, that is, he didn't dare to learn to protect himself at all times. Especially when he encountered the Donghuang Iron Sword in Qiaoshan, he almost died in a life-and-death battle with the Iron Sword, which made him understand what strength is and the importance of strength to himself. He still vividly remembered that when the long sword of the iron sword pierced through the bloody air and was only a foot from his chest, he deeply felt his fear of death. This is a kind of nostalgia for life from the heart, and an unwillingness to die. If it weren't for the fact that at the critical moment, a person named Guo Quanquan stepped forward, intercepted the long sword of the iron sword, and helped him defeat the iron sword, Ji Qingchen believed that he would have died at that time.

However, I don't know much about Guo Quan's person Ji Qingchen, but I learned from Guo Quan's mouth that the other party is from Xining Prefecture, my mother has died early, and my father died of illness last month, and there are only two people left in the family, Guo Xiang, because the two of them have no father in Xining City, so they will come to King's Landing to join their uncle who served in Dali Temple, at that time, the brother and sister had just arrived in Qiaoshan, and were about to go to Huangling to worship the Yellow Emperor, so they encountered the assassination he encountered on the way, and saved him at a critical moment.

In fact, at that time, Ji Qingchen had the idea of recruiting Guo Quan's command to his command, because Guo Quan's force was very strong, and there were not many people who could draw with the Eastern Wilderness Iron Sword, this person was rare in the world, and Dayan was even rarer, and Guo Quan's was only twenty years old, if he was given enough space for development, his future achievements would be limitless.

But he thought about it and couldn't help but say nothing, except that Guo Quan was his savior, that is, he didn't want to treat Guo Quan as one of his subordinates, and he also saw that Guo Quan had his own ideas and seemed to have his own life he wanted to live, so why did he force him?

"Hey-" Thinking of this, Ji Qingchen couldn't help but sigh.

Because he thought of the battle of Qiaoshan and Guo Quan, he thought of the lack of strong guards like Guo Quan, and now that he had arrived in King's Landing and had a lot of money, it was time to seriously find a few loyal guards by himself.

"Where do I find myself?" Thinking of this question, Ji Qingchen had a little headache, because he really couldn't think of where to look, there were many such people in the army, but the military department of the dynasty was Liu Pingyuan, he was Ji Hongchang's uncle, and he definitely couldn't go to him to ask for someone, as for Zongzheng Temple sent him two hundred guards, he also took a look, if it was placed on the battlefield, it would be a hundred elite soldiers, and it would be a bit unqualified to use them as personal guards.

Thinking like this, Ji Qingchen couldn't help but become a little irritable.

Suddenly, just then, he heard the faint sound of the piano outside the window.

In addition to him, the only one in the house who can play the piano is the singer Mingyan given to him by Zhao Xianglin in Ningzhou, and he knows that Mingyan must be playing the piano. This is a song that Ji Qingchen has never heard, the song does not have the lingering compassion of "Guarding the Looks", and it does not have the high-pitched and passionate "The Wind of Saibei", and some seem to be just the slight breeze of the pine forest in the mountains and the thin stream of water in the wild fields.

The quiet sound of the piano drifted into Ji Qingchen's ears, banishing away his irritability and silence. As soon as his heart calmed down, he thought about how he met Gu Qi, and suddenly there was such a sentence in his heart: "Every dog slaughterer in the market." I couldn't help but smile on my face.

Because now he has an idea in his heart, and he knows where he can find someone like Guo Lun!
