Chapter 43: The Emperor Summons

"When I was locked up, I heard them say they were going to change me for a worker. The purpose of replacing him is to improve the strength of a master. Cheng Qing told the information he interrogated.

Zhao Wuyuan said: "We already know about this matter, and now that the Criminal Department has strengthened its precautions, even if they want to save people, it is impossible." โ€

Cheng Qing nodded and said, "Since they want to come to save people, can we use Chen Gongyou as a bait?" Grab one is one? โ€

Qi Diaolie shook his head disapprovingly, and said, "If that's the case, we might as well kill Chen Gongyou directly, and then lead our troops to the old den of the Underworld Sect." โ€

"Blackface Lie said this well, I agree." Tao Liangting raised his hand in agreement.

"To lead an army to attack, you must ask the emperor, and only after approval can you attack." Zhao Wuyuan said solemnly.

Tao Liangting said indifferently: "What is this?" Shouldn't we go and ask the emperor? The hands of the Underworld Sect have already reached out to the imperial court, and the emperor will definitely agree to us attacking the Underworld Sect. โ€

Qi Diaolie echoed: "That is, no matter how we are, we are all among the best soldiers, are we still afraid that those rabbles will not succeed?" โ€

What he said was confident, the soldiers who had fought on the battlefield, what else could scare him?

"Yes, that's right." Others chimed in.

Zhao Wuyuan looked at Cheng Qing, what he was worried about was not whether his father would agree, what he was worried about was that if his father took this opportunity to show favor to Cheng Qing or something, it was not impossible.

Cheng Yue, who was sitting on the side as an invisible person, closed his eyes slightly, revealing a touch of inquiry.

Bai Xiuyuan raised his head from the time Zhao Wuyuan said that, and when he saw his solemn expression, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

At this moment, the housekeeper walked in with Gonggong Jiang.

As soon as Cheng Qing saw this Jiang Gonggong, he couldn't help frowning, I don't know what tricks the old emperor is going to make?

The housekeeper walked in and saluted the group of people first, and then said to Cheng Qing: "Miss, Gonggong Jiang wants to see you." โ€

Gonggong Jiang stepped forward from behind the housekeeper, and the smile that had just been raised, after seeing Cheng Qing sitting with such a large group of men, froze on his face, and the wind was messy.

Then he reacted very quickly and raised his smile again, put the snow-white dust on his arm, and saluted everyone, "I have seen the four princes, the generals, the county king, and the county lord." โ€

Zhao Wuyuan stood up and said, "No courtesy, what are you here for?" โ€

For what? Naturally, it was for Cheng Qing.

How did he say this in front of these people, especially the Four Princes?

The emperor is probably already known to passers-by about Cheng Qingxin, but he hasn't pierced this layer of window paper yet.

Gonggong Jiang's face was embarrassed, but in the end, he still stiffened his head and said, "The slave was ordered by the emperor to come to pick up the county lord into the palace. โ€

Zhao Wuyuan's face turned cold, and he continued to ask, "Did Father Emperor say what he asked Qing'er to do?" โ€

"The emperor didn't say anything, the servant thought, he should have asked something about those thieves." Gonggong Jiang racked his brains to make up a suitable reason, the emperor can't offend, he can't offend the four princes, the emperor has not yet set up a prince, and the four princes may be the most suitable candidates for the prince in the emperor's mind.

Zhao Wuyuan looked at him coldly and said, "You go back and tell your father that Qing'er is unwell, and I will personally accompany her to see my father another day." As for the things about those thieves, Qing'er has already told us everything, when I am young, I will go to my father, you go back. โ€

Every word reveals a fierce coercion, where can Gonggong Jiang withstand it? wiped his sweat and said, "Yes, the slave will go back to the emperor." โ€

After saying that, he retreated.

Seeing him walk so simply, Cheng Qing really breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fourth prince, thank you for helping me out of the siege." โ€

When Zhao Wuyuan heard this, he immediately changed his expression, smiled and said, "I'll help you solve the siege, should you thank me?" โ€

Cheng Qing was about to salute and thank him, but Zhao Wuyuan stopped her, "Slow down." โ€

She looked at him quizzically.

Zhao Wuyuan smiled: "I don't want you to thank you like this, I want you to change your words." โ€

"Change your tune? What to change? Cheng Qing asked.

Zhao Wuyuan smiled treacherously: "Na, I can be regarded as your godbrother and your brother's brother, right?" What's the matter if you call them eldest brother and call me the fourth prince? Call Brother to listen. โ€

The corners of Cheng Qing's mouth twitched.

Bai Xiuyuan squinted slightly and looked at Zhao Wuyuan, a trace of meaning crossed his eyes.

Just as Zhao Wuyuan was triumphantly waiting for Cheng Qing to open his mouth to call his brother, a clean voice suddenly sounded.

"Oh? Is it? In that case, should you call me brother first? I'm the elder brother of Yue'er and Qing'er, and it just so happens that I'm one year older than you. โ€

Zhao Wuyuan's smug face suddenly collapsed.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and instantly burst into thunderous laughter.

Cheng Yue smiled and took the tea, looked at Zhao Wuyuan defiantly, and took a sip.

Zhao Wuyuan looked at this group of people speechlessly, he, the prince, really didn't have any dignity here.

Cheng Qingxiao bent his eyes, let out a word, and said, "Fourth prince, if you call me brother, I will call you brother." โ€

Zhao Wuyuan looked at her bright smiling face, and suddenly, as if it was just to gamble, his face changed a lot, and finally fixed on a bright smile, and really shouted at Cheng Yue: "Brother." โ€

"Poofโ€”"

Cheng Yue sprayed.

Cheng Qing was stunned on the spot.

The others looked at Zhao Wuyuan in disbelief.

After Bai Xiuyuan was in disbelief for a short time, he reacted to something and frowned in annoyance.

Zhao Wuyuan looked at Cheng Qing Cheng Yue proudly, but his cheek was practiced since he was a child, didn't he just call him brother? What does it matter if you can achieve your goal? He's not missing a piece of meat.

Cheng Qing grinds her teeth, why didn't she see that the surname Zhao was so thick-skinned before?!

"Qing'er, it's your turn, you won't be Laipi, right?"

Zhao Wuyuan winked at her.

Cheng Qing felt defeated for the first time and accepted her fate, but if she wanted to call 'Brother Wuyuan' like Zhao Ningbai, she would definitely not be able to call it.

After thinking about it, Cheng Qing smiled and shouted, "Fourth brother." โ€

Isn't he the fourth in line?

Then there's nothing wrong with her shouting like that, right?

There was no problem, but Zhao Wuyuan always felt as if something was wrong, and there was a piece missing in his heart.

"General! Oh no! โ€

A soldier ran in in a panic and said to them, "General, Chen Gongyou is dead!" โ€

"What?!"

Everyone stood up in unison, and all the smiling expressions were replaced by solemnity.
