Chapter 209: Long Rui Meets Ziyu Gongzi
Border Pass, Long Rui.
Li Zeyi sat in the room with a flush, drinking freshly brewed hot tea.
"It's getting colder and colder this day, and it's going to be winter, so long has passed, even if it's all the way to the mountains and rivers, the purple jade boy should arrive."
Holding the steaming tea, I blew it and took a sip.
"Maybe something happens on the way." Li Zeyi lowered his eyes slightly, and his gaze fell on the clear tea.
"You are so calm, shouldn't you let someone intercept and kill Ziyu Gongzi on his way? I've heard that Ziyu Gongzi's kung fu is good, at least on par with me anyway. Those under your command may not be his opponents. ”
Li Zeyi picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly.
"No, it's just a matter of causing him some trouble." He wouldn't let his people make senseless sacrifices, knowing that he couldn't beat and still rushed up, isn't that stupid?
Hua Xiren's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he leaned over: "What did you do?" ”
Li Zeyi glanced at him lightly: "I only know that a woman's curiosity is very heavy, and it turns out that your curiosity is just as heavy." ”
Hua Xiren was stunned for a moment, he always felt that something was not right with this!
The corners of Li Zeyi's mouth rose slightly, and then he got up: "I'll go out." ”
"I'll go with you."
"You stay." After Li Zeyi finished speaking, he walked out of the room and disappeared at the door in the blink of an eye.
In a cheap house on the outskirts, Li Zeyi sat in the courtyard. After a while, Commander Feng Xiaoda appeared and saluted him respectfully.
"His Royal Highness King Yi, our side is ready, when will we start?"
"Wait, when the Purple Jade Boy arrives, I'll send you a signal when the time comes. This time, I'm going to catch them all. ”
A fierce color flashed in his dark eyes, and he dared to do something to his little girl, and this time he let him have no return. When his father let the tiger return to the mountain, he had secretly cultivated his power for so many years. Now he felt that his power was strong enough to come back for revenge.
He didn't intend to care about this, but he dared to do it to his little girl, which was the reverse scale that touched him.
"The Purple Jade Princess, now that he has arrived at the border pass, it is estimated that he will be able to reach Longrui in three days." When Commander Feng Xiaoda received King Yi's letter before, he asked people to stare at Ziyu Gongzi and his party along the way. As soon as he appeared, he was already under his surveillance.
Li Zeyi raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect that he had already arrived at the border pass.
"Well, keep keeping people staring at him. In addition, let Lin Jinjun follow you, it is difficult to get the border pass, let him also experience a practice. ”
Commander Feng Xiaoda knew that King Yi had the intention to promote Lin Jinjun, and when he thought that Lord Ronghua was Lin Jinjun's sister, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it turned out that King Yi would also be favoritistic, but fortunately, Lin Jinjun also had a lot of talent in this area.
"Yes, lord."
The two discussed it again, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong, Li Zeyi got up and left. He stopped as he reached the gate of the compound and commanded.
"If there is nothing important in this time, do not come to the king, lest you be discovered. That King Long Rui is a very cautious person, and Hua Raider and I are only allowed to guard the door of the study for so long, and we still can't guard it closely. ”
"Yes, the Admiral understands."
Commander Feng Xiaoda responded with his fists clenched when he heard this, and then watched Li Zeyi leave.
Li Zeyi returned to the Longrui Palace, and when Hua Xianren saw him coming back, he immediately got up from the collapse and leaned over.
"Someone came here just now, and when he saw that you weren't there, he asked. I said you go out and buy some things and come back in a while, and if someone asks, don't say anything. ”
"Yes." He nodded, there was nothing wrong with the two of them taking turns off today. He sat cross-legged on top of the bed and exercised with his eyes closed.
Now that violent internal force has been turned into his own use, he still needs more practice if he wants to use it freely. Otherwise, if you don't master it well, it's easy to cripple people!
"You're really hardworking." When Hua Xiren saw him coming back, he practiced the exercises, and he admired it in his heart, and suddenly felt that he couldn't beat others, and he was not so diligent.
Seeing him settle down, Hua Xiren yawned boredly, turned around and went back to sleep on his bed.
This is settled, and it will be noon when Li Zeyi opens his eyes again.
Hua Xianren was lying on the bed weakly, and when he saw him open his eyes, he hurriedly said, "Let's go, let's go out to eat something, our stomachs are going to be hungry." ”
The food in this Longrui Wangfu is really good, and there is meat at every meal. If you don't have a rotation, there's even wine. However, eating meat at a time is a person who will get tired of eating it, so the two of them will go out to change the taste when they take this round of rest.
Li Zeyi nodded when he heard this, got up and left the Longrui Mansion with Hua Xianren.
As soon as the two of them left on the front foot, someone on the back foot went to the Dragon Rui King to report their whereabouts.
King Long Rui was reading a book with him, and smiled after hearing the report from his subordinates: "It seems that this king is too careful, these two people have been very peaceful these days, and they haven't inquired about any news." ”
"Well, there should be nothing to doubt. Father, are you going to reuse them? ”
It was the eldest son of King Longrui who spoke, and the eldest prince was still more liked by King Longrui. After all, he was born to the queen and his first son, and he is considered the heir he cultivated himself.
Hearing this, King Long Rui nodded: "But this king doesn't plan to take it with him, he wants to send the two of them to you to protect you." The third brother was arrested, and now there is no movement over there, and I don't know what your third brother's situation is now. ”
Thinking of his third son, his eyebrows couldn't help frowning, among the sons, the most popular among his sons were the eldest and the third, one was calm and composed, and the other acted decisively. didn't expect the third child to be arrested by the other party, which made him very angry. But in the end, it is his favorite son, and he has to save people no matter what.
For his eldest son, who had high hopes, he didn't want such a situation to happen again, so he planned to arrange these two good people to be by his side to protect him.
The eldest prince was moved when he heard this, and his face was even more moved: "Father, there are many people around my son to protect me, and your safety is the most important thing." You are the pillar of our Longrui, and you can't make any mistakes. Let those two follow you, and the son doesn't go out very often, most of the time he follows his father. ”
King Long Rui was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then thought about it, so he nodded: "Since you said so, then let those two people follow this king in the future." ”
"Then do you want my son to let them know?"
"No, after a few people, the Ziyu Gongzi will come back, and when the time comes, the king will let the two of them go with him to pick up the Ziyu Gongzi, and just let the Ziyu Gongzi see how these two people are."
The eldest prince's hand on his side tightened when he heard this, but a happy smile appeared on his face: "Prince Ziyu is coming back?" That's really good, according to the wisdom of the Ziyu Prince, there will definitely be a way to save the third brother from the other party, and it can also turn defeat into victory. ”
King Long Rui nodded, and smiled: "Yes, someone as smart as Ziyu Gongzi must have a way." ”
The eldest prince lowered his eyes slightly, hiding the disgust and jealousy in his eyes. Sometimes he felt that his father's trust in the purple jade prince had surpassed that of him and his younger brothers, which made them all jealous. They really didn't understand what kind of ecstasy the purple jade prince had given their father.
"Okay, it's okay today, you can go back and rest. Your daughter-in-law has just been diagnosed with joy, and you go back to accompany her. ”
Speaking of his wife, a layer of softness appeared in the eldest prince's eyes, and he nodded: "Yes, then the son will go back first." ”
He and his wife have been married for five years, but they have never had children. Now that they are finally pregnant, the husband and wife are not to mention how happy they are, and they are careful every day, for fear that something will happen.
If it weren't for his wife finding out that she was pregnant, he would have been the one who went to fight Dajing this time. At this time, he was a little fortunate in his heart, after all, he was indeed inferior to his third brother in terms of fighting.
Thinking like this, the man walked out of the palace.
As soon as he was about to get into the carriage, he saw the two men coming together. His eyes flashed, and he turned his steps towards the two of them.
Hua Raider and Li Zeyi were talking, and as soon as they looked up, they saw the eldest prince walking towards them, the two glanced at each other, and then saluted respectfully.
"I've seen the Great Prince."
The eldest prince smiled kindly, raised his hand to let the two of them up, and said with a smile: "You two have been doing well recently, and my father will promote you soon." "Small composition
Hua Xiren was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "It must be the eldest prince who spoke well for his subordinates in front of King Longrui, and I have thanked the eldest prince in advance." ”
The eldest prince was very satisfied when he saw the two of them so good. patted the two of them and said, "Okay, continue to behave well, don't let Prince Ben down." ”
After saying that, he turned around and walked back, got into the carriage and left.
The two of them gave way and watched the carriage leave. It wasn't until the carriage disappeared from sight that the two turned around and went back to the palace.
Back in the room where the two lived, Hua Xiren looked at the calm Li Zeyi: "What do you mean by the words of the eldest prince?" Have we already gained the trust of King Longrui? Want to transfer us to the side? ”
"Probably, we'll find out soon anyway." Li Zeyi continued to sit cross-legged on the bed and practiced.
The corners of Hua Xiren's mouth twitched, and he fell back to the bed a little boringly. This person has been practicing martial arts lately, and he doesn't know what he's going to do.
Two days later, they were finally summoned to the side by King Long Rui, who only ordered them to follow him out. He was accompanied by several princes and confidants.
Looking at the carriage from far and near, the two of them knew that they were here to pick up people, and the person who could make King Longrui greet him like this was probably Ziyu Gongzi.
The carriage stopped in front of them, and the curtain was lifted, and a man in a cyan robe and a mask stepped out. He exudes a warm bookish atmosphere, like a well-mannered scholar.
"Purple Jade Child."
Several princes stepped forward, all smiling and greeting the prince of Ziyu.
Ziyu Gongzi nodded to a few people, and then his gaze fell on King Longrui, but he didn't salute, just smiled slightly: "The king looks a little haggard than before, but is he worried about the third prince?" ”
King Long Rui sighed when he heard this: "Prince Ziyu, let's go back to the palace first and then talk." ”
After all, at the gate of the city, the capture of the third prince was not told to the public, after all, they didn't want to cause panic among the people of Longrui.
Ziyu nodded, then turned around and went back to the carriage. The group turned around and walked towards the city.
After arriving at the Longrui Palace, the Longrui King first asked the Ziyu Prince to rest. After all, I must be tired after driving for so long, and I will talk about it tomorrow.
Ziyu Gongzi did not shirk and left with his own people. Looking at his appearance, you know that he is very familiar with the Longrui Palace, just like taking a leisurely walk in the mansion at home.
Li Zeyi and Hua Xianren both restrained the aura on their bodies, but they only looked a little more imposing than the guards next to them. But it didn't attract the attention of Ziyu Gongzi, but the two of them noticed that several princes of King Longrui didn't seem to be as friendly to Ziyu Gongzi as they seemed on the surface, and they were all a little defensive and jealous in their eyes.
The two glanced at each other, and when they could go back to the room to rest, Hua Xiren couldn't help but gossip.
"How can I see that except for King Longrui, those princes don't seem to like the Purple Jade Prince very much."
"Even you can see that the prince of Ziyu must also know that those princes don't like him." Li Zeyi poured himself a cup of hot tea and took a few sips to dispel the chill.
"I suspect you're looking down on me." Hua Raider looked at Li Zeyi aggrievedly, how did he think that this person was getting more and more venomous.
Li Zeyi shifted his gaze to the teacup, and a big man made a look of grievance, which was too spicy.
"Maybe we can start with these princes and let them fight among themselves first." A hint of calculation flashed in the slender peach blossom eyes, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
When Hua Xianren heard this, he immediately became interested and leaned over: "Do you have any solution?" ”
Li Zeyi whispered his plan in his ear, and Hua Xiren was very sympathetic to those princes in his heart after listening to it.
"Okay, then I'll take care of the rest." Sympathy is sympathy, and it is still necessary to start.
On the second day, Li Zeyi and Hua Xiren were called to the study, and King Long Rui was looking at the two of them with a smile.
"See the King."
"No need to be polite, sit down." With a gentle smile on his face, King Long Rui pointed to the chair against the window.
The two of them sat down neither humbly nor arrogantly, neither of them spoke first, waiting for King Long Rui's next words.
"The two of you have been doing well these days, and this king plans to transfer you to close protection, are you willing?"
"Subordinates are naturally willing." Hua Xiren hurriedly got up, and his face did not hide the strong surprise at all.
King Long Rui was very satisfied, and said with a smile: "Okay, then from today on, you will follow this king." ”
As soon as his words fell, he heard the voice of the housekeeper outside: "King, the prince of Ziyu is here." ”
King Long Rui hurriedly spoke: "Invite people in, and then let people call a few princes." ”
Li Zeyi got up, and then he and Hua Xianren prepared to withdraw, after all, if they took the initiative to stay at this time, they would definitely arouse the suspicion of King Long Rui.
Sure enough, they took the initiative to retreat, and a look of satisfaction flashed in King Longrui's eyes, but he didn't let them stay, only let them stand guard at the door.
Hua Raider whispered: "Isn't this still the same as guarding the door?" ”
Li Zeyi was still standing calmly at the door, his gaze gently swept over the oncoming Ziyu Gongzi.
Ziyu Gongzi paused when he passed by the two of them, and said, "The guards guarding the door of the study today looked a little angry. ”
A little scrutiny of the eyes fell on the two of them, with a little bit of oppression, as if they could see through people. It's a pity that he is looking at Li Zeyi and Hua Xiren, and he is destined to see nothing.
The two of them stood there expressionless, letting him look at them.
"This is the person recruited a few days ago, and the prince of Ziyu naturally hasn't seen it. However, these two people's kung fu is good, and they are also down-to-earth and hardworking, and my father thinks they are good and ready to take them with him. ”
The eldest prince walked over at some point, with a smile on his face, and explained gently.
Hearing this, the purple jade prince nodded, and then took his gaze back. With the eldest prince, go into the study.
When the two of them entered, Hua Xicai patted his chest: "I'm scared to death, I thought he recognized us." Don't say it, the eyes of the purple jade boy are still quite capable of bluffing. ”
Li Zeyi didn't bother to pay attention to him, and soon the voices of several people came from inside. This time, their voices were not deliberately suppressed, so they could hear clearly from the door.
Hua Xianren now understands why Li Zeyi is so calm, and becoming the close guard of King Longrui can be regarded as a person trusted by him. Although he can't reach the point of confidants, he won't avoid them in everything. For example, at this time, they were discussing how to save the third prince.
He glanced at Li Zeyi, who was calm and composed, and he was afraid that it would be impossible to rescue the third prince.
Soon, a rescue plan was discussed, worthy of Ziyu Gongzi, this plan does have a great chance of rescuing people. It's just a pity that let them know in advance.
waited until he returned to his room in the evening, and Hua Xian asked him, "Do you want to pass this news to Commander Feng Xiaoda?" ”
Li Zeyi nodded, but he didn't start writing immediately. Rather, it was a lazy crooked love pillow, as if pondering something.
Seeing that he hadn't moved for a long time, Hua Xiren asked, "Do you have any other plans?" ”
"The person they sent this time is the second prince, you said that if the second prince is also arrested, will the bargaining chips for us negotiate with King Long Rui be heavier?"
"Do you want to take the second prince prisoner?"
This person's mind is dark enough, but it is indeed a good idea, and the Dragon Rui King is probably going to vomit blood from anger.
Li Zeyi nodded and raised his eyebrows: "Do you think it's bad?" ”
"Yes, of course." The combination of these two princes must be quite significant, especially if the eldest prince can also be captured. The three sons valued by the King of Long Rui are in their hands, and they may be able to capture Long Rui without a single soldier.
Of course, all this also depends on how much paternal love King Long Rui has for these three sons, if it is a cold father, it is estimated that he will give up these three sons directly.
