How could He Wuji not see the second prince's thoughts? For a moment, he couldn't help but feel a little dilemma. `

Today's Dahao Dynasty seems to be stable on the surface, but in essence, it has already been turbulent in the dark. The Son of Heaven retired to the deep palace and did not see the minister all year round. When the queen is in power, she is really suspected of being a chicken. The civil and military officials of the imperial court have quite a few words in their hearts.

Especially half a year ago, at the queen's birthday banquet, Emperor Xuan, who had not moved for many years, suddenly issued a holy decree. At the same time, the four princes were canonized, and each was divided into the frontier to stand alone. It can be said that this move directly opened the prelude to the competition between the princes.

The second prince was originally the queen's concubine. According to the etiquette, he was made the crown prince, which should be undisputed. But Emperor Xuan has always refused to face up to the appointment of the second prince as the crown prince. Although the queen is in power, the second prince is infinitely beautiful, and is even called "Prince Chu". But it is always not right, and the words are not good.

I looked forward to it, and finally came to the edict of the crown prince. The second prince never expected that the crown prince was not the only one. There are also three brothers, including the fourth prince, the eighth prince, and the fourteenth prince, all of whom became princes.

The crown prince is the title of the prince. There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two lords for the people. As the legal heir of the emperor, there should be only one crown prince. However, now, for the first time, there are four princes at the same time. So is this so-called prince or not?

As soon as the four princes came out, it was expected that there would be many events in the court from then on. In all dynasties, participating in the prince's succession is the most taboo for those who are ministers. If the prince he supports succeeds in ascending the throne, then the supporters will naturally get the merit of the dragon, and since then they have soared and become rich. However, if the prince he supports fails to compete for the throne, he will be ruined at least and his reputation will be ruined, and at worst he will be wiped out. The stakes are just too great.

The He family has been the door for generations. He Chimeng, the general of the dynasty, was the first general in the world and the first master of the Dahao Dynasty. He Qianli, the general of the chariot cavalry, guarded the Great Wall of Rock, and commanded hundreds of thousands of soldiers, who were in a high position. There is really no need for such a family to be involved in the turmoil of seizing the heir.

You must know that even if you help a certain prince succeed in winning the heir, the power and wealth of the He family will not be able to increase. Once it fails, this Jiangmen family will fall directly from the nine clouds to the eighteenth layer of hell. The gains outweigh the losses, so why bother?

So at this moment, in the face of the oppression of the second prince, He Qianli knew that the wisest thing for him to do was to leave the fourteenth prince and follow the orders of the second prince.

Because before, he had led an army of 5,000 Hejia to join the command of the Fourteenth Prince and assist him in making great contributions. If you don't leave the Fourteenth Prince now, in the eyes of the world, you will inevitably feel that the He family has already invested in the Fourteenth Prince's command? But if He Wuji goes to help the second prince now, then it can show that the He family's position is still impartial, and there is no particular bias towards one side.

But the truth is the reason, and the feelings are the feelings. During this time, He Wuji has been by the side of the Fourteen Princes and has personally witnessed one miracle after another created by the Fourteen Princes. Deep in his heart, He Wuji had already admired and worshiped the fourteenth prince to the ground.

Not only that, but faintly, He Wuji has even begun to look at everything from the standpoint of the subordinates under the command of the Fourteenth Prince. In that case, how could he be willing to leave the Fourteenth Prince? Not to mention, in He Wuji's eyes, he looked down on the Second Prince at all.

Do you want to abandon the Fourteenth Prince here for the sake of family interests? In an instant, deep in his heart, He Wuji had already turned his mind a thousand times and weighed the pros and cons a thousand times.

Finally, between He Wuji's eyebrows, there was an extremely firm expression, he slowly raised his head, looked at the second prince, and said firmly: "Back to the Second Highness, the last general will be ordered by the father of the family to come to the fourteenth highness to serve and kill the thief." Now that the fierce ancient thieves have not been swept away, the last general will never dare to violate his father's order. Please forgive your sins.

"He Wuji, you don't even listen to the king's words, do you want to rebel?!"

The second prince has always been killed and killed, and his authority is extremely heavy. When he says a word, very few people dare not listen. At this moment, He Wuji actually refuted to his face, and the second prince was immediately furious.

I saw that his complexion changed, his expression was cold, his eyes were like electricity, and he looked He Wuji up and down. Under such momentum, even if it is a high-ranking member of the imperial court, I am afraid that he will be drenched in cold sweat, and he is honestly afraid, and he doesn't even dare to take a breath more.

He Wuji's concentration was originally far inferior to that of the imperial court. But now that he has made up his mind, he wants to stand on the same front as the Fourteenth Prince. The body naturally produces a strong sense of courage. was able to look at the second prince. said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Your Royal Highness is serious. The last general is absolutely loyal to Dahao. However, as a soldier, it is my duty to obey orders. Before the father gave another order, the last general did not dare to leave his post without permission. ”

The second prince's anger grew. However, he also knew that with the great general He Chimeng and the general of the Che Cavalry, even if he was really the emperor, he could not attack the children of the He family at will. Therefore, after weighing it repeatedly, it was finally decided to hold back the anger and take a step back for the time being.

Take a few deep breaths. The second prince's face was gloomy, and he said coldly: "That's good." He Wuji, now this king orders you, immediately lead the troops and horses, attack Jiuye County, and sweep away the fierce ancient barbarians over there. The old fourteen will also arrive at any time to be your backup. ”

He Wuji secretly sneered, and said in a condensed voice: "Return to the Second Highness." Before the end of the future, my father once said that everything should be ordered by His Highness Fourteen, and there should be no mistakes. As for the commands of others, they must not be blindly obeyed. ”

"Hmph, what did He Wuji say, if you have the guts, say it again!" the second prince narrowed his eyes. The murderous aura spread to all sides.

He Wuji turned his heart sideways and shouted categorically: "The last general is only the fourteenth highness." Don't blindly follow others. ”

"Hmph, yes, it's very good!" The second prince laughed angrily, and suddenly shouted: "Come on, drag this guy who has no eyes and doesn't obey the general's orders, and beat him with eighty military sticks!"

"Hmph, I'll see who dares to do it!"

Without waiting for the soldiers under the command of the second prince to make a move, Yan Fulong had already opened his eyebrows and angry eyes, and pulled out half of the Night Rain Sword from its scabbard with "Qiang ~", glaring at the four directions viciously. He had already greatly offended the second prince once. One more offense, that's all it takes. In addition, with the fourteen princes as his backing, Yan Fulong really had no scruples. Say do it.

The generals under the command of the second prince are even more outdone. All of a sudden, "hula~" came over. The three layers inside and the three layers outside surrounded the fourteenth prince and the three people under his command. The air seemed to freeze suddenly, and there was a strong smell of gunpowder. The atmosphere is truly tense and tense.

At this moment, only the sound of horses' hooves could be heard. Someone rode up and shouted, panting, "Don't do it, don't do it." The second child, the fourth child, don't do it, listen to me. ”

Before the words fell, I saw the eldest prince hurrying and rushing into the crowd. The soldiers who were besieging outside knew that the eldest prince and the second prince were on the same front, so they didn't dare to block it and let him pass.

The eldest prince grabbed the reins, turned over and dismounted, stood between the second prince and the fourteenth prince, wiped his sweat vigorously, and then said with a wry smile: "The second one, the fourteenth brother, are all their own brothers, why bother with this? Put away your weapons." If you have something to say, you can talk about it. ”

The Fourteenth Prince smiled slightly and beckoned, "Fu Long, take back the sword." In front of the two imperial brothers, how can it be your turn to be presumptuous?"

Yan Fulong retracted his sword in response and took a few steps back. The second prince's face was pale, he glared at him hatefully a few times, and finally waved his hand. The soldiers under his command dispersed, and the atmosphere eased.

The eldest prince breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, that's right." After a pause, he frowned and asked, "What's going on, how did it get to this point?"

The Fourteenth Prince said lightly: "It's not a big deal. It's just that the second brother wants to send troops to clear the remnants of the enemy around him, and wants Captain Hedu to be the vanguard for him. However, Captain Hedu was ordered by the general of the chariot to assist me, so he did not dare to leave his post without permission. This accidentally angered the second brother. ”

"Oh, I see. It's just a little thing, a little thing. The eldest prince suddenly realized, nodded and said, "Second brother, why are you so angry? As we all know, the general of the chariot cavalry is extremely strict in governing the army. Military orders are like mountains, and Captain Hedu does not dare to disobey them, which is understandable. Why bother him?

To clear out the remnants of the enemy around us, it is enough for you and my two brothers' soldiers. You really admire the talent of Captain Hedu, and in a few days you will go to the Great Wall of Rock and talk to the general in person. The general must be very happy, and will immediately let Captain Hedu serve under your command. ”

He tried his best to solicit it, but the general He Qianli always turned a blind eye. But when he turned his head, he actually sent his son to work for the fourteenth prince. For this, the second prince can be said to be extremely resentful.

But after calming down, the second prince also knew that he couldn't force it. Now the eldest prince handed over a step down, and he just took advantage of the situation to step down. Of course, this account, he has already written it down in his heart. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely take revenge and go back. Let the He family know what will happen if he offends his second prince.

The second prince snorted coldly and said in a condensed voice: "Okay, then this matter is over." But Old Fourteen, before, didn't I let you attack Jiuye County? You didn't go to Jiuye, but came here to pick up the bargain. Hmph, didn't you take your brother's words to heart at all?"

The Fourteenth Prince was not angry. said lightly: "The lesson of the second brother is that the younger brother knows that he is wrong. After a pause, he raised his voice and ordered: "Fulong, Wuji, Wang Xuan." Command of the king. Everyone immediately straightened up and went out of Jiuye. ”

Yan Fulong, He Wuji, Wang Xuan and other three people each obeyed the order. Turn around and leave. When the soldiers under the command of the second prince saw this, they couldn't help but look back at the second prince, and they didn't know whether to stop or let them go.

The second prince "po~" exhaled heavily. With a vigorous wave of his hand, he signaled for release. The soldiers will immediately turn sideways to make a way for the fourteenth prince and the three men under his command to pass.

Not long after, the Wuchuan New Army and the Hejia Army, each on horseback, galloped out of the city in the direction of Jiuye County.

As for the civilians of Qinghe Water City before, as well as the captives who were rescued from under the soldiers of the Menggu army, most of them were old and weak, and they were all left behind. Each of them also received a lot of gold and silver, and finally had the capital to rebuild their homes.

As for the small number of civilians and prisoners, they were added to the new army of Wuchuan, and the number of fifteen thousand men was replenished
