Chapter 219: Temptation
Qi Kexue looked around her, no one was too close to them, so she whispered to Shen Boling, "Don't you think the robbers are a little okay this time?" ”
Shen Boling is not a stupid person, Qi Kexue thought of the key point of the matter at once. "You mean ......"
Although the two of them were not far away and spoke in relatively small voices, they did not rule out that among this batch of soldiers, Tang Wang would arrange some masters to be inside.
People who know martial arts have many times more ear power than normal people, so even if they speak quietly, they will be listened to by people who have a heart.
"Well, so I've been wondering what the connection is, but I've never figured it out." Qi Kexue has been entangled in this issue for a long time, but she still has no clue, and now her mind is big.
"When you say that, it's really suspicious, and it sounds weird. But since you can't think of it now, don't think about it yet, maybe when will you think of it? You can't think of it now, and you still force yourself to think about it, in your own words, isn't this self-abuse? Don't you say? Shen Boling tried his best to persuade Qi Kexue, because he didn't want to see Qi Kexue so worried and tired, he just wanted to see Qi Kexue enjoying leisurely.
"Learned smart? Know to gag me with my words? Seeing Shen Boling, who is now more and more able to tease her, Qi Kexue not only does not have any disgust, but has a sense of accomplishment.
You must know how difficult it is to be able to train Shen Boling, who was so dull, so this matter is more fulfilling than her completing a particularly rare task.
"Didn't I learn this from you!"
The two of them digressed from the topic when they talked about business, and began to tease each other again.
All the way forward, they arrived at the nearest town to the capital of the Tang Kingdom-New Town.
The new town is not very prosperous, but it is also next to the capital, so it is not far behind.
The customs here are still relatively simple, and the most prosperous place here is in the most central street of the town, and all the places where things are sold are also concentrated here.
With the permission of King Tang, their group went to the best inn in the town to rest.
Tang Wang lived in the best Tianzi No. 1 room, followed by Tang Qingyi, Qi Kexue, and Shen Boling in order.
When it was almost time to rest in the evening, Tang Wang summoned a few of them for a small meeting.
In Tang Wang's bedroom, it is also a small enclosed space, so the etiquette that should be done here still has to be done. Because there are outsiders along the way, I am afraid that outsiders will see it, so I have always omitted the issue of etiquette.
Now that they finally arrived in a place where there were no outsiders, how could King Tang let go of their poor knees.
So, after a few people saluted in the inn room, they began to talk about today's events.
"Fourth, how is the investigation going?" As soon as Tang Wang came up, he asked about this.
Everyone in the house heard it strangely, it should be normal to meet robbers on the road, why do you need to mention it here?
Qi Kexue quietly glanced at Shen Boling next to him with her eyes, Shen Boling was also very surprised when she heard Tang Wang say this, she just looked up and wanted to look at Qi Kexue, but she didn't expect Qi Kexue to be looking at him as well, and the eyes of the two people met in the air.
Because Qi Kexue and Shen Boling paid special attention, others didn't see their small movements.
Tang Qing also heard Tang Wang's call for him to report, so he took the initiative to step forward. Fortunately, after the accident, Tang Qing had already sent someone out to investigate as soon as possible, but there was no result yet.
It's just that he didn't expect that his father would ask him about this so early. "Father, the son has sent someone to investigate, and there is no news to report back yet."
"Well, what did you find on the corpse?" Tang Wang continued to ask, seemingly very interested in these robbers.
This time, even Tang Qing felt that something was wrong, Tang Wang was not a person who cared very much about such a trivial matter at all.
If King Tang cares very much about such a trivial matter every day, then he is really sitting on the throne too hard. I can't worry about the big things of the country, where is the time to manage such small things?
So this time Tang Wang was so concerned about this matter, which made everyone feel very strange.
Qi Kexue pouted and smiled below, it seems that this Tang King really has a problem, and he is entangled in the problem of this kind of robber.
"Back to my father, the bodies of all the robbers have been examined, and they are wearing ordinary swords without any signs on them. As for the clothes on his body, he was also searched, but there was nothing, and he looked like an ordinary robber on the surface. But Erchen felt that there was something strange about this matter. Tang Qing didn't continue.
But at the suggestion of King Tang, he continued, "Erchen just thinks that being able to do such a righteous and upright crime at the feet of the Son of Heaven in the capital, and being able to know the movements of the patrol soldiers in the capital well, should not be as simple as an ordinary robber." ”
Tang Qingyi continued to talk about what he found under the gesture of King Tang, but some of them still had reservations, because along the way, Tang Qingye of course found a lot of doubts, and these doubts pointed to his father, and he didn't want to admit it, so in his mind, he had been resisting this answer.
He had never wanted to admit it, and now that his father had begun to be wary of him, how could he no longer let him be in charge of the affairs of the barracks?
When King Tang first arrived at the barracks, he was anxious to parade the troops to see the real strength of the soldiers he had trained.
When he saw the true strength of the soldiers, Tang Wang was indeed very happy, but when he saw his prestige among the soldiers, Tang Wang's eyes were much colder.
Although he hid it well, as the son of King Tang, he had lived carefully by his side for so many years, how could he not understand his biological father's every move, or what an expression or a look represented?
When he saw Tang Wang's eyes, Tang Qing also felt something, knowing that his father had a different opinion of him.
It's no longer the time to come out of the capital and help him train soldiers to defend his country.
Later, Qi Kexue told him in private that King Tang had planted a lot of people near the military camp, and he was asking about something everywhere. This kind of thing made Tang Qingyi's psychology even more uneasy and even more chilling.
It was he who saved his father from the hands of the rebellious prince. It was also him, who helped his father when he needed help the most and was the most helpless, and no one went to the frontier to train soldiers, he did so much, couldn't he get back a little bit of sincerity?
Since childhood, only the prince has been serious in his father's favor. The crown prince has been a can't help Adou since he was a child, but his father has always wanted to pass on the throne to him.
Although the crown prince is incompetent, his father has always supported him, wholeheartedly as if he could fight a little harder, so that his father can pass on the throne justifiably. It's a pity that the prince doesn't have that material at all, even if his father is helping him no matter how he is, the prince has never been self-motivated, and has always thought that everything will fall into place, so he has never felt that the throne will fall into the hands of others, which makes Tang Qing, who has been in the shadows, also have a chance.
Among all the princes, only he is the most suitable and the most capable to inherit the throne, but King Tang just looks down on him.
The official position that really has access to the core power has never had his share. If it weren't for the fact that he had a lot of experience in fighting, it is estimated that his father would not even let him participate in such a thing as fighting.
But even if he is allowed to grasp part of the military power to fight on the border, not long after each triumphant return, he will use various methods to take back the military power.
His father had always used various methods to guard against him, and he never really trusted him.
When he rescued his father from the hands of the crown prince, Tang Qing also felt the subtle changes in Tang Wang, and he suddenly naively thought that his father's impression of him had changed.
In this way, in the future, the throne will be passed to him slowly and logically, so that he will not have a head-on conflict with his father, and he can retain the last bit of father-son affection.
But just when he thought that things were slowly getting better, Tang Wang once again broke Tang Qingyi's heart.
All kinds of performances after this military parade clearly showed Tang Wang's distrust of Tang Qingyi.
If Tang Qing didn't guess wrong, the robber time on the road was also done by his father.
The purpose is obviously to test him, on the way, the conversation between Qi Kexue and Shen Boling fell into his ears very clearly, and now even outsiders see this matter so thoroughly, how can he, the party, not know?
Sometimes it's not that he doesn't know, it's just that he doesn't want to face such a reality. Just like what Qi Kexue said, reality is always cruel, and you have to face it head-on.
As long as you don't face it head-on, then it will keep hurting you, corroding your soul little by little, and one day you will die from the cruelty of reality and your psychology of escaping.
"Well, since nothing has been found, it should be an ordinary robber. Since the last incident, there have indeed been a lot more robbers, and it's not a big deal. This time, the batch of soldiers you trained should be in response to the emergency first, and arrange all the patrols in the capital first, as for the guards in the palace, let's do this first, there is no need to send some more manpower for the time being, and it is not too late to wait until the next batch of soldiers are trained. When Tang Wang heard Tang Qing say that he hadn't found anything, he felt like he was relieved.
