"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." After the spy saw Xiao Chenyu, he knelt respectfully in front of him and saluted.

"Okay, let's talk quickly, what's the situation in Wan'an City now?" Xiao Chenyu was eager to know whether Fang Qi's plan had succeeded or not, and whether Xiao Zhihan had been controlled by Fang Qi now.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, a few days ago, the king of southern Xinjiang led a large army to attack Wan'an City, but was blocked back by King Ming with people. The king of southern Xinjiang was seriously injured and died, and the eldest prince Zuhaier succeeded to the throne, and he had already negotiated peace with Wan'an City...... "The spy reported the situation of Wan'an City to Xiao Chenyu briefly and clearly.

Hearing this, Xiao Chenyu's face sank.

What are these innocuous things!

"What about King Ming? But what's out of the ordinary? Xiao Chenyu asked a little unwillingly.

The spy thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Nothing out of the ordinary. King Ming has always been in Wan'an City, leading the defenders of Wan'an City to resist the soldiers and horses of southern Xinjiang......"

"Enough!" Xiao Chenyu impatiently interrupted the spy's words.

Something like this, he had read the letters from Wan'an City many times, and he didn't want to hear them again at all. Glancing at the spy kneeling on the ground, Xiao Chenyu asked, "What about Fang Qi?" ”

The spy was stunned, as if he had just remembered that there was such a number one person as Fang Qi, thought about it, and said, "Lord Fang is dead." ”

Xiao Chenyu was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "When did it happen?" How did he die? ”

The spy had a look of confusion on his face, and he said stubbornly, "I don't know, little one. Lord Fang's death was well concealed, and we investigated in many ways, but we couldn't find out why he died. It was not long ago that we learned that Master Fang had passed away. ”

"Rubbish! Rubbish! Xiao Chen angrily overturned the table directly, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone placed on the table fell to the ground, making the originally clean and tidy study instantly cluttered.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is angry." Seeing Xiao Zhihan's appearance, the staff and spies hurriedly kowtowed to Xiao Chenyu and said cautiously.

After venting, Xiao Chenyu felt better in his heart. He glared at the spy with a grim face and asked, "Why have none of the spies sent by the palace come back during this time, and there are many fewer letters sent back?" ”

"Because the soldiers and horses in southern Xinjiang besieged Wan'an City, in order to prevent the news of the city from spreading, the king of Ming ordered the city to be sealed, and he was allowed to enter but not to leave. Many of the people sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were mistaken for spies from southern Xinjiang, and the soldiers of Wan'an City were corrected on the spot. Those who are alive are mostly cautious and dare not reveal their identities. A few days ago, the new king of southern Xinjiang submitted a peace document, and the gate of Wan'an City was reopened. After the spy finished speaking, he quietly observed Xiao Chenyu's face.

Xiao Chenyu noticed the spy's gaze, a smile appeared on his face, walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "This errand is a good job." What reward do you want? ”

The spy looked happy and said, "Being able to serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a blessing that the third generation of the little one has cultivated, and I don't dare to ask for merit and reward." ”

"Although you don't want it, this palace can't help but give it. In this way, this palace will reward you to die. Xiao Chenyu attached himself to the spying's ear, and his voice was like a soul-hooking Yama, which made the spy's eyes widen suddenly.

Without waiting for the spy to react, Xiao Chenyu held a self-defense dagger and stabbed straight into the spying's heart.

Seeing that the spy was looking at him incredulously, Xiao Chenyu pushed the dying spy aside in extreme disgust, and said coldly, "You can't even do a little thing, what's the use of this palace raising you!" ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, this ......" The staff member stood beside Xiao Chenyu without changing his face, looked at the corpse of the spy, and asked.

"Drag it out, feed the dogs." Xiao Chenyu wiped the blood stains on his hands with a clean handkerchief, raised his feet and walked towards the outside of the study. As for the dead spies on the ground, he didn't even give him a glimpse.

"Prepare the carriage, the palace is going to enter the palace." Walking out of the study, Xiao Chenyu instructed the guards guarding outside the study.

The spies he sent to Wan'an City disappeared for more than a month, and suddenly returned to the capital, and the news of Fang Qi's death came. There must have been something going on that he didn't know, maybe that spy had been bought by Xiao Zhihan, the calamity star, and deliberately concealed the true situation in Wan'an City.

No, he definitely can't wait so passively. In case Xiao Zhihan's calamity star really made a great contribution and returned triumphantly from Wan'an City, if he wants to clean him up when the time comes, he will have to weigh it. The most important thing is that if that calamity star colludes with Liu Shaoqing, the city lord of Wan'an City, and then makes any promise to this new king of southern Xinjiang who suddenly negotiated peace, then his position as the crown prince will be in danger.

The more he thought about it, the more ugly Xiao Chenyu's face became. Seeing that the carriage was ready, Xiao Chenyu immediately got into the carriage and headed towards the palace.

When Xiao Chenyu arrived at the palace, Emperor Xiao Deyong was reading excerpts in the imperial study.

"Father." Xiao Chenyu walked into the imperial study and hurriedly shouted.

Xiao Deyong raised his head, his face sank, he looked at the palace people who were waiting for him on the left and right, and asked dissatisfiedly, "The prince of a country, what kind of style is it to shout like this!" ”

"The father is angry, and the son has something important to report." Xiao Chenyu said, looking at the people on the left and right with a meaningful look.

Xiao Deyong understood, waved his hand, and said to the palace people waiting left and right, "Okay, you all go and wait outside." ”

The palace people retreated and covered the royal study tightly.

Xiao Deyong put down the imperial pen and fold in his hand, looked at Xiao Chenyu, and said, "What's the matter, say it!" ”

"Father, it's Wan'an City." Xiao Chenyu glanced at Xiao Deyong, and stopped talking, as if he was thinking about how to tell his guess.

Xiao Deyong frowned and asked, "Isn't everything normal over there in Wan'an City?" ”

"Father, didn't you really find out?" Xiao Chenyu asked a little tentatively, seeing a trace of impatience on Xiao Deyong's face, he hurriedly said, "In the past month or so in Wan'an City, all the spies have disappeared. Occasionally, a letter or two came in, but the content was innocuous and insignificant. This shows that the news of Wan'an City has been controlled! Eighty percent of the spies sent to Wan'an City are also more than lucky. ”

Hearing Xiao Chenyu's words, Xiao Deyong's face turned cold, a touch of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he said disdainfully, "King Ming has never learned or learned anything, and he doesn't have any available manpower in his hands, where can he have this ability to control the news in Wan'an City!" ”

"Father, the third brother doesn't have manpower, but Liu Shaoqing, the guard of Wan'an City, does! If they collude, the capital will be in danger......" Xiao Chenyu said with a worried face.

Xiao Deyong looked at the anxiety on Xiao Chenyu's face, and couldn't help but think deeply.

In this short period of time, Xiao Zhihan's disaster star is not there, and he can be regarded as a comfortable life after a period of time. Every day, I drink and have fun with the beauties of the harem, so where do I care about the war on the other side of Wan'an City? What's more, the secret letters sent back every once in a while said that everything was normal in Wan'an City, so he didn't bother to ask.

However, hearing Xiao Chenyu say this at this time, Xiao Deyong couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Wan'an City is an important border city, and although there are not many defenders, each of them is experienced in a hundred battles. If that calamity really colluded with Liu Shaoqing and took those soldiers from Wan'an City back to the capital, these guards in the capital would not be enough for them to kill.

But after thinking about it again, that disaster star is just an unfavored prince, and he doesn't have any real power in his hands, but if Liu Shaoqing has a little brain, he won't choose that disaster star. Well, we can't let that calamity stay in Wan'an City anymore. If you stay for a long time, it will inevitably lead to disaster.

"How's the battle going in Wan'an City?" Xiao Deyong gathered his mind and asked.

"According to the news that came out, not long ago, the king of southern Xinjiang led a large army to besiege Wan'an City, but was stopped by the third brother and his people. As a result, the king of Nanjiang was wounded in that battle and died. Now it is Zuhaier, the great prince of southern Xinjiang, who has sat on the throne and has already handed over a letter of peace to Wan'an City. Xiao Chenyu recalled the news that the spy had told him before, sorted it out, and reported it to Xiao Deyong.

"Now that the fighting has stopped, let King Ming come back." Xiao Deyong picked up the imperial pen on the imperial book case and continued to review the folds.

"Father, there is something that my sons and daughters don't know whether to say or not." Seeing that Xiao Deyong didn't react too violently, he gritted his teeth and continued.

Xiao Deyong raised his head, looked at Xiao Chenyu, his face became more and more dissatisfied, and said, "Say." ”

"Father, Fang Jianjun is dead. The cause of death is unknown, and the spies have not been able to find any news. It's just that before that, Erchen had received a letter from Fang Jianjun, saying that the third brother was acting in the military camp by virtue of his identity as a prince. Erchen guessed that perhaps when Fang Jianjun was dissuaded, he was assassinated by the third brother. Fang Jian Jun was personally appointed by his father, and the third brother assassinated him, which is a great disrespect to his father! Xiao Chenyu made an indignant expression on his face, deliberately provoking Xiao Deyong's emotions.

"What!" Xiao Deyong dislikes Xiao Zhihan the most, that is, Xiao Zhihan has never put him as the emperor in his eyes and disobeys him everywhere. At this time, he was provoked by Xiao Chenyu like this, and he was really angry. swept the fold on the imperial book case to the ground, and said with an angry face, "This disaster star doesn't take me as the emperor too seriously. Prince, you immediately pass on my will and let King Ming return to Beijing, I have to ask him how Fang Jian Jun died! ”

Seeing Xiao Deyong angry, Xiao Chenyu's eyes flashed with a gleam. As long as the father is dissatisfied with the disaster star in his heart, when the disaster star returns to the capital, he will definitely not be comfortable.

It's a pity that there is no way to kill that calamity star for the time being, otherwise, he must let that calamity star splash blood in the court, so as to warn those court officials who dare to oppose him. At that time, he wants to see who dares to disobey him, the prince, in this court.

Xiao Chenyu was heading towards Xiao Zhihan's fate after returning to Beijing, when he suddenly heard an extremely coquettish voice from outside the imperial study. Listening through the door, the voice was still a little familiar.

"What about the emperor? Why are you all staying here? I only listened to the coquettish voice and asked the people guarding outside the imperial study with a little dissatisfaction.

"Back to the concubine, it's the prince who is here and is discussing with the emperor." A palace man said cautiously, and the voice sounded flattering, as if he was afraid of offending the person in front of him.
