Chapter 623: The Way of the Son

There was no way, so my grandfather had to ask the doctor to use some prescriptions, not hoping to save people, but hoping to alleviate the pain of the old woman.

And my grandfather thinks that this child is a person who values love and righteousness, and if he deliberately cultivates him, he may be able to come in handy in the future. Therefore, in the days before the old woman died, my grandfather always helped the children take care of the old woman. The eldest prince of a town and country mansion also started to chop wood and make a fire.

After ten days of taking care of the children, the old woman finally died. But because his grandson is always by his side, and he is taken care of in terms of food and clothing, he walks quite peacefully. Seeing that the child was lonely and helpless, my grandfather gave the child to a childless veteran to raise, let him grow up, and supported him to gain a foothold in the army and rise all the way.

The child is very grateful to his grandfather and treats him as if he were his life. is even more loyal than the people who have followed the Zhou family in the past.

The child back then was Huang Jingde at this time.

Therefore, it is very important to be able to fool Huang Jingde. As long as he believes it and is willing to serve, even if his grandfather does not show up, Zhang Qilin and the small soldiers and generals in the army who secretly serve the Zhou family will not have the slightest doubt.

Fortunately, Huang Jingde came over first, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to play well this time. I can't help but secretly hate myself for being too negligent, I should have reminded Zhuo Jiu just now and asked Zhuo Jiu to call Huang Jingde over first. But fortunately, there was no danger at this time, and with the scare of Fang Cai, Huang Jingde was really frightened. It seems that this time, it is the heavens that are helping him.

This matter is destined to be done!

The Yong King kept cheering himself up, turning this almost a big mistake into a good omen. In fact, he himself knew in his heart that he was hiding the uneasiness in his heart. But so what? At the moment of the big event, life and death are fighting here, he doesn't believe it, and the third child can be as calm as ever.

If they face each other now, the two of them can talk and laugh freely, but in fact, everyone is just pretending to be calm. Everyone's heart is hanging, and no one is stronger than the other.

In Huixianju, King Chen and King Jing are playing chess. King Jing was about to be besieged to death by King Chen, but he refused to admit defeat until the last moment, and was still dying. King Chen looked at his frowning and scratching his ears, and felt that he was also pitiful, and said with a smile: "Do you want to let you have a son for your brother?" ”

"No!" King Jing didn't appreciate it, and said arrogantly, "A manly man, you can afford to play and lose, so what can you do?" Besides, which eye did you see me losing? Isn't there still a place to settle? ”

"Then you're falling!" King Chen urged.

But King Jing pinched the black piece in his hand, and he was about to crush the chess, but he still had no intention of falling. Justified: "I don't want to fall yet!" Thoughtful, how can you be as reckless as you play chess? ”

"I can figure it out with a single thought, you have to think about it for an hour. Am I reckless, or are you stupid? King Chen shook his head and smiled, too lazy to talk to him. And he didn't expect his fourth brother's chess piece to fall as soon as possible, and he was ready to wait for a long time. Pick up the teacup and drink it leisurely.

A few soft knocks on the door: "Your Highness? ”

"Come in."

Zhuo Jiu entered the house and cautiously closed the door. He said a few words in King Chen's ear.

King Chen frowned and looked at the chess piece in the fourth child's hand......

When King Jing was surprised, he unceremoniously snatched it and landed the chess piece in a place surrounded by white seeds.

"Third brother, what are you doing? I don't want to end up here! It's a wasted move to land here! No, no, no, I'll have to do it all over again. King Jing, who was originally surprised, was already focused on his chess game at this time.

King Chen ordered Zhuo Jiu to retreat, held down King Jing's hand to pick up the chess piece, and said with a smile: "You are destined not to win this game of chess, why struggle again?" ”

"Not necessarily, who can say for sure until the last minute?" King Jing opened his hand and landed the sunspot where he wanted it to land.

King Chen shook his head and smiled, picked up a white seed, and dropped it seemingly very casually. But......

King Jing looked at it and was already dumbfounded......

No way? Why didn't he notice it before? Oops...... It's too late to regret, it's too late to regret......

"Hey......" King Jing sighed, began to collect the chess pieces, and complained, "I shouldn't play with you, I said I'm not interested, you have to pull me to play chess." Anyway, I'm spending time with you, why don't you let me? ”

King Chen smiled: "It's because your chess skills are too poor, I have let you several times during this period, but not only did you not see it, but you hurried to the road of death!" Who is to blame? ”

King Jing's hand to collect the chess pieces paused, and then he remembered that Zhuo Jiu came in. With a somewhat solemn look, he asked, "Third brother, what's the situation?" ”

King Chen's eyebrows frowned slightly, shook his head, and said, "Big brother did it over there...... He's really going to die...... It's just that you're right, until the last moment, it's really impossible to say who wins and who loses. ”

"That's chess," said King Yong, "in this matter, we will win!" ”

King Chen also smiled and said, "I hope so...... Let's go, stop playing, let's go to Chengtian Pavilion to ask for a meeting. ”

"Third brother, are you going to go to your father to report the eldest brother?" King Jing worried, "It's not appropriate to go at this time, it's not appropriate?" What did Zhuo Jiu find out? But what is the real evidence that can be caught in our hands? ”

"How do you get this kind of thing in your hands?" King Chen said, "As long as the eldest brother doesn't make a move for a moment, our words are likely to become false accusations." Only when the eldest brother does it can it be called real evidence. ”

"But then it will be too late!" King Jing said.

King Chen said while packing up the chess pieces: "As long as you can ensure that your father's life is worry-free, and that you and I are worry-free, even if you can deal with it before the eldest brother makes a few words, it is not too late." Do you think your father's Imperial Guards are vegetarians? Confrontation for one day or two days is not a problem. ”

"Third brother, what do you mean...... Are you prepared? A day or two later, will reinforcements arrive? King Jing asked.

King Chen nodded and said, "That's right. If the eldest brother really dares to make a move, two days later, reinforcements will arrive. But it is not ruled out that the big brother's side has strong troops, and our side will not be able to support it for even two days. ”

"Huh? Then ......" King Jing was a little confused, "then what to do?" If our side supports less than two days, can the third brother deal with it? ”

"What else can I do? Chilled salad! Then you can only resign life and death to fate! King Chen said.

Hearing King Chen's words, King Jing was even more confused. I thought that since the third brother had already known about the movements of the eldest brother, he should have made all preparations, how could he make such a risky plan?

"Third brother, you're not joking with me, are you?" King Jing said.

"Naturally, I'm joking with you!" King Chen said with a smile.

"Alright, let's go, let's go and ask to see my father. At this time, it is still too late for my father to deal with it. King Chen said.

King Jing was even more confused, grabbed his third brother, and said, "Third brother, but we have no evidence, my father won't believe it!" ”

"We don't need to convince our father, we just need to save our father's life. You, just put your heart in your stomach, on the side of the Royal Foresters, it's absolutely no problem to hold on for two days. "King Chen gave King Jing a reassuring pill.

King Jing scratched his head, and for a while he didn't understand what arrangements his third brother had made, so he could only follow his third brother to Chengtian Pavilion first. Seeing that the third brother is so confident, he must have prepared properly, but he just sold him off.

In fact, it is true that King Chen prepared properly, but he was not a seller. It was because he was in a hurry to save his father, and he didn't have time to explain it in detail to the fourth child. Moreover, just in case, he really can't reassure the fourth child first. If this reassuring pill is eaten, the fourth child will be negligent in his precautions, and if he is harmed by the eldest brother's people, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The underground of Huixianju has been dug out by his people. This secret passage leads to Linlang Pavilion, and once the incident happens, he can let the fourth child and his father go first from the secret passage. But he had to stay here. Because there are his men in the Imperial Guards. In any case, since he had secretly arranged this, he couldn't be a shrunken turtle when he was in battle. But as long as the lives of the fourth child, his father, and his mother are saved, his comfort is not enough to worry about.

If he dies in Mengshan in the end, his father will definitely treat his mother and the fourth child well. And in the absence of a successor, the father will definitely pass the throne to the fourth. When the fourth child succeeds to the throne, he will definitely respect his mother as the queen mother, and he will definitely find a good home for Ning'er. Father, mother, concubine, fourth child, Ning Er, Shen family, these people who should be protected by him, he has preserved.

Therefore, as long as my father can return to Kyoto alive, the worst result of this battle cannot be regarded as "losing".

It's just that he is still reluctant to exchange his life for these thoughtfulness. Because he knew that when he died, he would not be able to be with her for the rest of his life. She was still waiting for him at home, waiting for him to go back.

How sad she would have been if all she had been waiting for was a corpse. He wanted to protect her for the rest of his life, and he couldn't do it.

But Zhang Xianlin and Chen Guanghan are all his people. These people followed him and were willing to listen to his orders and prepare secretly, although most of them were also out of the trade-off of interests, but they did not rule out the word "hot blood". If he escaped, even if he survived in the end, even if reinforcements finally arrived and they could still win, how would he face these people who were bent on following him in the future?

He chooses people differently from his eldest brother, he chooses people with good character. He respects the character of these colleagues, just as these colleagues who have taken refuge in him, who stand in his camp and are willing to share the risks with him, respect his character.

Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, if they lose the hearts of the people, they will really ascend to the throne one day, and who will help him govern this great mountain and river together? If he was just a dumb king who did nothing on this throne, he would rather not ascend to this throne.

In order to be worthy of these people who follow him, and to let them know that they have made the right choice, he wants to stay. But he must not allow himself to die. He trusted these people, and he trusted himself.

He wants to allow her a lifetime of peace, but he can't let her be lonely all her life.

He firmly believes that in this world, except for him, no one has the ability to make her happy.

Outside the Chengtian Pavilion, the little eunuch still said: "Your Majesty Long is unwell, and he has confessed that he has not seen anyone." ”

"This king has something important to ask to see." King Chen.

"Your Highness...... Your Majesty really has orders. ”

"I'm sorry for you to go in and spread the word, or let Gonggong Li come out to see the king." King Chen.

Li Zhonggui had just come out of the secret passage when he heard King Chen's voice at the door, and his heart was entangled for a while. I don't know if I should go out to see King Chen. King Chen shouldn't have made the same hard break as King Yong, right?

Your Majesty is still suspicious of King Chen, in case King Chen also came to inquire about His Majesty's situation, and saw that His Majesty was not in the house, wouldn't this matter be messed up?
