"Master Hou, I didn't expect you and I to meet again in this place, right?"

The dark chess master walked towards Xu Rui with a smile, and saw his appearance clearly, except for Xu Rui, all the personal soldiers, including Qin Fei, were shocked.

Xu Rui nodded and said with a smile: "The world is impermanent, who would have thought that the dark chess master of the Southern Dynasty who terrified the world would actually be the prince of my Great Wei?" What's so strange about where you and I meet? ”

It turned out that the dark chess master who came out of the cave was none other than an old acquaintance who had been extremely disagreeable with Xu Rui, Zhao Xin, the prince of the Great Wei Kingdom.

"Hahahaha!"

The prince laughed and said: "Hou Ye said that he was surprised, but there was no surprise on his face, it seems that Hou Ye has long been suspicious of Gu's identity?" ”

"It's impossible to talk about suspicion for a long time, if it weren't for the fact that the prince was really forced to be in a hurry and showed some flaws, I'm afraid that Ben Hou would still be kept in the dark."

Xu Rui said lightly.

"Oh?"

A hint of surprise flashed on the prince's face, and he nodded and said, "In this case, I just took this opportunity to talk to the Hou Ye, so as to solve the confusion in my lonely heart." ”

As he spoke, the prince pointed to the huge bomb crater beside him and said, "This place is not as good as the capital, and the conditions are limited, so how about asking the Hou Ye to talk to Gu Chang here?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone held a few low benches, and the wine and berries came out of the hole, and in a moment the crater was decorated in a good shape.

"Please!"

The prince pulled Xu Rui into the seat, Xu Rui did not refuse, Shi Shiran and the prince sat opposite each other.

The prince ordered to pour tea for Xu Rui left and right, but Qin Fei blocked Xu Rui with a cold face, took out a kettle from his arms and put it on the table, obviously not ready to let Xu Rui eat and drink half of the prince's things, so as not to be plotted.

Seeing this scene, the prince did not have the slightest difference, and said with a smile: "Hou Ye can talk about it now, where did Gu show his horse's feet and let Hou Ye catch it?" ”

Xu Rui smiled: "If Benhou didn't guess wrong, His Highness has reached the point of exhaustion, right?" ”

"Oh?"

The prince was noncommittal and said, "How can you see it? ”

Xu Rui said with a smile: "If you don't reach the end of the mountain, why protect yourself by rebelling?" ”

The prince frowned when he heard this, but Qin Fei and the others were surprised, as if they didn't expect that the prince would be imprisoned by Emperor Hongwei for attempted rebellion a few months ago, and there would be such an inside story.

Xu Rui continued: "Ben Hou has always been very strange before, the prince's motive for murdering the saint is insufficient, the timing is amazingly different, the method is even more naïve and ridiculous, and the success rate tends to be close to none.

If it weren't for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince being bewitched by others, or if he was too stupid, how could he do something extremely risky and completely unnecessary at the wrong time and in the wrong way? ”

The prince quietly listened to Xu Rui's eloquent conversation, and from time to time he lifted the teapot to pour tea for himself, as if he had no intention of interjecting or explaining at all.

Xu Rui didn't care either, and continued: "Originally, Benhou also thought that His Royal Highness was dull, and he couldn't stand the aggressiveness of the King of Liao, so people would take advantage of it and make mistakes.

It's a pity that the palace is very secret, I didn't expect Xiao Jinwu to be so loyal to you, even if all kinds of evidence point to you rebelling, he has been investigating this matter.

What you didn't expect was that he even took the risk to connect with Ben Hou and let Ben Hou know a prince who was completely different from the stereotype.

The mediocre image you have painstakingly managed for more than 20 years has been ruined here in Benhou, and by the time you find out, it is too late, and in order to remedy it, you have to guide Benhou to the Imperial Prison to see you step by step, in order to continue to weave another illusion.

That is, although the prince has been forbearing, he was deliberately calculated at the critical moment of seizing the heir, so that he was framed and imprisoned, and completely lost the qualification to take the heir.

I have to say that your response was very fast, and the entry point was reasonable, and it did make Ben Hou believe it at the beginning, and even investigated in the wrong direction for a long time, missing the last chance to save Great Wei. ”

Hearing this, the prince raised his eyebrows and said, "Since Gu has already deceived Hou Ye, what is it that makes Hou Ye suspicious again?" ”

Xu Rui said: "Although I didn't doubt His Highness's identity at that time, His Highness's remedy was hasty after all, leaving a huge loophole. ”

"Oh?"

The prince was stunned for a moment and asked, "What kind of loophole, please ask the Hou Ye to teach me." ”

Xu Rui said: "His Royal Highness led Ben Hou to the edict prison to meet him, just to let Ben Hou confirm that the prince was really imprisoned, and to create a character of forbearance of the prince's plot."

The acting skills of the crown prince in the edict prison are indeed very exquisite, pretending to be crazy and stupid, revealing three points of shrewdness, and seven points of caution, almost immediately let Ben Hou confirm that you are not the kind of ambitious, talented, arrogant and lascivious dragon grandson that people think.

But in this way, there will be a contradiction, since the prince behaved so badly before because of Zang Feng, in fact, he had Jingxiu in his chest, so why was he really bewitched and framed and imprisoned? ”

The prince smiled bitterly and said: "Hou Ye is really insightful, in fact, Gu has already given Xiao Jinwu a lot of hints, but I didn't expect that he was still secretly investigating Gu Mou's rebellion, and even met with you late at night and revealed some inside information."

As Hou Ye said, when Gu finds out, he can only remedy it immediately, and even guide you to come to the edict to witness Gu's situation with your own eyes, but it is far from perfect in a hurry.

But even so, Lone thought that it was just a small flaw, but he didn't expect Hou Ye to be able to grasp this flaw and find the truth little by little. ”

Xu Rui smiled and said: "Your Highness is serious, at that time, Ben Hou just had a doubt, not a real doubt, it is still far from the truth, to say that the real breakthrough is still the infighting in your secret chess." ”

Hearing this, the prince's face suddenly sank.

Xu Rui ignored him and continued: "Maybe the infighting in the dark chess is too serious, forcing Your Highness, you have to use the most core resources and let Governor Hong come forward to lead me to Babao City."

After Ben Hou arrived in Babao City, Governor Hong sent people to slaughter Di Ting in Babao City, firstly, to euphemistically expose the identity of King Han's secret chess to Ben Hou, and secondly, to use Ben Hou's hand to suppress King Han's side.

His Royal Highness probably thought that this move would make the other dark chess force represented by King Han reined in, but he didn't expect that they would break the net and return a tooth for a tooth in the Wentian Pavilion, and also revealed the matter of the old mansion in Nanhua Lane to Ben Hou.

In this way, not only did His Royal Highness the Prince's wishful thinking of moving the troubles to the east come to naught, but also indirectly exposed two secrets.

The first is that dark chess is not monolithic, your struggle is very fierce, and even the dispute has been made public because of the matter of Babao City.

The second is that all disputes revolve around the struggle for the succession of our Great Wei, so this seizure of the heir has actually become a decisive battlefield between the two dark chess forces.

With these two points, Ben Hou had already noticed that something was wrong at that time, but the truth of the old house in Nanhua Lane was too deeply buried, so Ben Hou never solved all the doubts. ”

The prince sneered: "It's not that he ignores the overall situation, but King Han first broke the rules of the game, and he led the East China Sea Sword God into Beijing, which was to use external forces to balance the hole card in my hand - Martial Saint Hong Guangli."

In the past, no matter how infighting the dark chess was, it inevitably exposed itself, and there was an iron rule that no matter how you could not introduce external forces.

But King Han made an exception, and Lone could not be beaten passively.

At that time, Lone's situation was very passive, and King Han introduced external forces, so Lone had to let Hong Guangli, who had been exposed, come forward to lure you to suppress King Han.

In fact, Gu had already guessed that King Han would fight back, but at that time, everyone was hit by other things, and he was confused by his illusion, so he didn't prevent him from revealing the secret of the old mansion in Nanhua Lane to you on the Wentian Pavilion.

However, as Hou Ye said, the secret of the old mansion in Nanhua Lane is too hidden, and of course Hou Ye will use the line of King Han as the main target, and Gu grasped Ning Qian's weakness of self-esteem, and successfully lured him to set up a ring in front of the Four Elephant Pavilion, causing public outrage.

It's a pity that King Han's kid reacted quickly, and immediately went to extinguish the fire, letting Ning Qian be a shrinking turtle, so that Hou Ye did not directly get rid of Ning Qian in the ring, making Gu lose the most important hole card. ”

Xu Rui's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this: "All this is really your secret chess design, so that the world is a chess, and everyone is played between applause, Your Highness is really calculating." ”

The prince shook his head and said: "No matter how subtle the calculation is, hasn't it been discovered by the Hou Ye, there is something that I can't figure out, even if there are all kinds of things here, but everything revolves around taking the heir."

Why did the Hou Ye leave behind the complicated situation in the capital and the safety of the world, and instead chased Gu Lai all the way, aren't you afraid that the Great Wei will perish? ”

At the mention of this, Xu Rui's face immediately sank, and he sneered: "If Ben Hou doesn't come, His Highness will break out of his shell, won't the poisonous plan to devour the world succeed?" ”

When the prince heard this, his face suddenly became unnatural.
