At three o'clock in the afternoon, in the pavilion in the backyard of the drunken country building, two men with outstanding demeanor were leisurely playing Go. If you take a closer look, it turns out to be the second master and Zhuge Chen.

The second master listened to Zhuge Chen tell the truth of this incident, and he did not do anything to investigate Abu's backboard. If you want to blame him, he himself let his guard down too much, so that the enemy can take advantage of it! He wrote it down!

At this moment, everyone should know the true identity of the second master! That's right, he is the first beautiful man in Aoyu Country, Ao Tianqi!

The only people who know his identity are Zhuge Chen, Jun Yichuan, Wuyue, and Qiu Feng, the head of the Intelligence Department, and Luo Ye, the leader of the Dark Guard Department. So outside, in order to hide people's eyes, everyone called him the second master, and those subordinates who didn't know also called him together. Now it is estimated that there is one more person who knows his identity, and that is Abu.

If it weren't for the discovery of his identity by the prince and his gang, this calculation would not have succeeded, it seems that he overestimated himself too much, and he would have to be more careful everywhere in the future, step by step.

I saw the second master pick up a sunspot and fall, Zhuge Chen's eyes were stunned, it turned out that he had been trapped by the second master's sunspot unconsciously, neither advancing nor retreating, the second master's chess skills are still the same as back then! At this moment, it really made Zhuge Chen a little undecided.

Zhuge Chen said: "Second master, what a wonderful move!" ”

The second master said calmly: "Zhuge , isn't our current situation a dilemma. ”

Zhuge Chen said: "Yes! At present, the crown prince and Zuo Xiang are finally a little impatient, and they don't know what tricks they are thinking about next. ”

The second master said: "Recently, my father's body is not as good as before, the entire harem is controlled by the queen, I entered the palace to see my father and the emperor were blocked by the queen, and I went to ask the hospital, and the answer they gave was that my father was overworked, resulting in a deficiency of qi and blood." Zhuge , I don't think you believe it either! ”

Zhuge said: "Since the establishment of the crown prince in the past two years, the emperor has begun to have something wrong, and his subordinates also think that this matter is very strange? It's better to ask Brother Yichuan to quietly enter the palace for the emperor to take a look, no matter how bad he is, he is also a disciple of the divine doctor, and he is always better than those quack doctors! ”

The second master said: "Now is not the time! At this moment, the palace is full of the eyeliner of the queen and the left minister, and I don't want to startle the snake and let Brother Yichuan take that risk. ”

Zhuge Chen thought that this was indeed the case, but the prince would not give up if the assassination failed this time, and now the second master can only brake quietly.

For example, if there are three points today, there is a snowy country on the top, and a water mirror country below, and they are proud of the Yu country in the middle.

If they start a civil war, they will inevitably be divided between the other two countries that are eyeing each other. Zuo Xiang also knows this, and even understands that their second master's character will not do such a jade burning thing, and the emperor is also in a trance at present, so Zuo Xiang and the prince will unite to organize assassination so unscrupulously!

After all, the prince and the second master have been at odds since childhood, and the prince's personality has been brutal and ruthless since he was a child, and he kills people without blinking. Although the second master is introverted and not good at words, he is a person with clear rewards and punishments, plus whether it is talent, appearance, or martial arts, he is above the prince, and the prince who has been pressed by the second master since he was a child is even more eager to drink his blood and pump his tendons! Get rid of it and get rid of it quickly!

The emperor and many ministers also saw it in their eyes, and wanted to move the idea of making the second master the prince, if it weren't for the fact that the elder and the youngest were not established since ancient times, coupled with the power of the queen's mother's family, the current prince would probably be the second master of his family.

In order to stabilize the court, even if the emperor is reluctant, he has to appoint Ao Tianyu as the crown prince. On that day, there was also a holy decree that the second prince was canonized as Prince Xian, and a palace was given to Prince Xian, whose decoration was very luxurious, no worse than the prince's east palace, and it also reflected the emperor's love for the second prince.

Therefore, after Ao Tianyu was made the crown prince, his desire to get rid of the second prince was even more obvious!

Recently, the crown prince has also made frequent moves, and many ministers in the court are also panicking! Many ministers have inexplicably fallen to the prince's side, and with the prince's character, he wants those ministers to support him, and it is estimated that the means used are not very bright! At the same time, it also shows that the crown prince is not 100% confident in this throne! So in order to be sure, he had to prepare in advance.

Now the only one who competes with the crown prince is the upper butler Shangguan Jingxuan, who is the right minister of Aoyu Kingdom and is in charge of one-third of the military power of Aoyu Kingdom. is also the object that the prince wants to win over the most, but he still can't understand why the upper housekeeper would support the second prince who has no power in his mother's family! But whoever goes against him, no matter who they are, will not let them end well.

The right minister's sister is the emperor's virtuous concubine - Shangguan Yating, the second master was raised by the virtuous concubine, the second master's mother died of illness when she was three years old, and later the second master learned that his mother did not die of illness at all, but died of poisoning! The real mastermind behind this is the Queen!

The second master's mother concubine was very beautiful and talented because of her stunning appearance, and she was favored by the emperor that year, and was soon named Concubine De. At that time, the queen was just a concubine, and she was afraid that this woman would rob her of the queen's position, and she was even more jealous of the emperor's favor for her!

So a year ago, he began to premeditate the chronic poison on Concubine De, and everything went smoothly! As she expected, a year later, Concubine De was poisoned and died, and outsiders seemed to be a symptom of illness, and it was impossible to find out that it was actually poisoning. Later, she also successfully ascended to the throne of the queen, and her son will definitely be the crown prince in the future.

And Concubine Xian and Concubine De have always been friends before entering the palace, when she saw Concubine De leave, she was also hurt for a while, but when she saw Concubine De leave the poor second prince, she couldn't bear it, and asked the emperor to raise this child, that is, she had nothing to do, so she should raise this child is to miss Concubine De! The emperor was also very happy to approve it.

Maybe it was because she saw Concubine De doing her best to raise the second prince, and the emperor went to her more often, and the next year, the virtuous concubine also gave birth to a baby boy, which is Ao Tianchen, the third prince of Ao Yu Kingdom!

The third prince has liked to be idle and live a free life since he was a child. The emperor also has a headache for this little son, knowing that he has no intention of the government and knows that he can't force it, when he was 18 years old, he gave him a fief in the south of Aoyu Kingdom, and the third prince was given by the emperor as the idle king!

This is even more the intention of the three princes, anyway, the emperor is far away, he is freer, he can love what he loves there, and his father is out of sight and out of mind. Except for the palace when there is a major celebration to return, the rest of the time the idle king stays in the fiefdom.

Therefore, among these sons, the emperor is naturally the second prince who hurts the most, and another reason is that the second prince looks very much like Concubine De. The emperor often thinks of the second princess when he sees the second prince, after all, even the virtuous concubine knows that the woman who the emperor can never let go of in his heart is the mother concubine of the second prince.

The second master has endured it for so many years, and he has also paid the sadness that others don't know about it. And in order to avenge the murder of his mother, he must be stronger than the prince everywhere, otherwise he has no chance of winning at all, because if he is not good enough, the housekeeper will not be on his side, and he also knows that the third brother has no intention of ruling the government, which is also the biggest headache for the housekeeper, so this opportunity falls on his head.

If the crown prince sits on the throne, it is estimated that the first to be eradicated is also the upper management family, and the right minister also understands this, rather than remaining neutral and waiting for the prince to sit on the throne to slaughter, it is better to choose to support the second prince, so that they will have more chances of winning on the housekeeper.

These situations are very clear to the second master and Zhuge Chen, the prince does not dare to deal with them openly because of his scruples about the housekeeper, so he can only come in secret, after all, it is more efficient to come in the dark!

At this time, Qiu Feng from the Intelligence Department came to visit, and the second master said, "How is the investigation?" ”

Qiu Feng said: "According to the spies' report, the location of the second master last night was the mansion of the wealthy merchant Nangong Xu, but the location was in the side courtyard of Nangong Mansion that had been abandoned for a long time, I heard that there were few people living there, and the short man who saved the second master that night did not live there at all, and even checked the height and physique of all the men in Nangong Mansion, and did not find a body that matched the man!" ”

The second master frowned and said, "Could it be that a big living person evaporated from the world in one night!" ”

Qiu Feng said: "My subordinates don't know, I don't know if I want to ...... or not"

Zhuge Chen interrupted Qiu Feng's words with a smile and said: "I'm afraid that this person is just a guest of Nangong Mansion, and he accidentally took a walk and found that the second master was injured, and he was afraid of attracting the attention of others, so he saved the second master in that deserted small garden." Then he had already planned to leave Nangong Mansion today, so he was in a hurry to go back. ”

Qiu Feng said: "It's also possible, after all, Nangong Xu is a wealthy businessman, and it is common for businessmen to visit the mansion often." ”

The second master said: "But when I woke up that time, I saw that the decoration of the room seemed to be a woman's boudoir, and it didn't look like no one lived there." ”

Qiu Feng said: "There are often some maids and ladies in Nangong Mansion who make mistakes, and they will be sent to live there for a few days as a punishment, so it is normal to arrange a boudoir like a woman!" ”

The second master was also skeptical, but the ultimate goal was to find the man, and nothing else mattered, so he said: "That's a pity, I originally wanted to thank this life-saving benefactor, and you also know that this king doesn't like to owe favors the most." ”

Zhuge Chen said: "This is also the second master's great creation, even God helps you, so it's better for people to do less bad things, like some people who do too many bad things, one day God will not be able to look at it, and he will make retribution." ”

The second master listened to Zhuge Chen's tone of scolding Huai, and only shook his head helplessly, knowing that Zhuge Chen had long hated what the prince had done. If, as Zhuge Chen said, the bad guys will really be punished, then the queen should be the first, and there will be less blood on her hands, but she is still alive and well, and she is still the most noble woman in this Aoyu country. As for them, the situation is now more passive.

Zhuge Chen seemed to see the second master's thoughts, and immediately changed the topic and said: "Second master, I lost this game!" One more game, I don't believe it, I can't win you once in so many years! After speaking, he began to pack up his chess pieces and prepare for the next game.

Qiu Feng also knew how to look at his eyes, and retreated silently. The second master has no problem with Zhuge Chen's stubbornness, and sometimes he thinks that he will simply lose to him on purpose to satisfy his vanity. But looking back, wouldn't it be too shameless to let his dignified second prince lose to him! It's better to let Zhuge Chen win him with his real skills, even if he loses, he will be convinced!
