"Engong, be careful all the way."

Zhao Qi said silently in his heart.

Lin Yiqiu has the grace of knowing him, and now his father-in-law has gone to the front line.

Although he was a small Hanlin editor, although he couldn't do other important things, it was just as Lin Yiqiu had admonished him before.

"If you are not indifferent, you will not be ambitious, and if you are not quiet, you will not be far-reaching."

Zhao Qi has firmly remembered this sentence!

Then he picked up the brush again and began to annotate the book!

Two days later, Lin Yiqiu, Canghong and others were already getting closer and closer to Tingzhou, or they would be there in less than half a day.

And in the bustling city of Tingzhou, in the palace courtyard.

The Ghost King Xia Yuantong held the teacup with one hand and tapped back and forth on the table with the other, as if he was thinking about something.

After a while, I saw a servant hurrying in.

"Lord Wang, someone is here."

"Who's coming? People from the imperial court? ”

Although the Ghost King is in his thirties, he still looks very young, almost no different from a young man in his twenties.

It's just that the brow in his eyes is very heavy, and there is a deep aura that constantly lingers in it, making it look like a person who is extremely deep in the city.

Coupled with the fact that his skin is pale and bloodless, this gloomy aura is even more vivid!

"Lord Wang, it's not from the imperial court, it's from Xingyang City."

The old servant hurriedly bent down and replied.

Youwang closed his eyes, thought carefully for a long time, and then asked again, "Zheng Xianba, that guy didn't come over so quickly, did he?" I don't believe that a master will dare to leave his barracks? ”

"What do you mean, Lord Wang?"

The old servant looked puzzled.

smiled sharply at the corner of his mouth again: "He's a guy who does things mercilessly, and he treats the people below him with force!" ”

"If he dares to leave the barracks without permission, is he not afraid that the people below will suddenly turn against him? It would be too funny for a rebel to be turned against by his own men! ”

After listening to this, the old servant arched his hand again and said: "Lord Wang, what you said is too right, so this time it is not him who came in person, it is a deputy general under him, named Zhou Pei!" ”

Hearing this, the Youwang once again showed a thoughtful expression.

Then he said lightly: "Let him in, by the way, how many people did he bring over?" ”

"Back to the prince, only he has a dozen guards."

"Hehe, a dozen guards? Let the guards wait outside the palace, and Zhou Pei will come in alone! ”

The tone of the Youwang was not angry and arrogant, and no one could refute it, and the old servant nodded immediately.

After a while, the old servant walked through the palace courtyard and walked all the way to the outside of the mansion!

Zhou Pei seemed to be a little impatient waiting outside, and when he saw the old servant coming out, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Would the prince like to see his subordinates?"

"Vice General Zhou, please come with me."

The old servant waved a hand and invited.

Zhou Pei's face was happy, and he raised his feet to walk in with the guards.

However, at this time, he was stopped by his wife.

"I'm sorry Vice General Zhou, the prince said that you can only go in alone, and everyone else has to wait outside."

"Waiting?"

Zhou Pei looked puzzled, not quite understanding what the purpose of the Youwang was doing this.

And the group of guards under him also showed dissatisfied expressions at this time.

If there is any danger in entering alone, who can say for sure?

But after Zhou Pei thought about it for a while, he said with a smile: "It should be, how can there be any reason to bring the guards to see the prince?" ”

"Just wait outside, and I'll call you again if there's something."

He turned back to the others and explained.

The guards hurried to take orders.

"Yes!"

Soon, Zhou Pei had already entered the front hall of the palace under the leadership of the old servant.

The Ghost King waited quietly in the front hall, and after seeing the person, he didn't move, just continued to drink his own tea.

Seeing this, Zhou Pei immediately knelt on one knee.

"Subordinate General Zheng Xianba of Xingyang City, and the deputy general Zhou accompanied! See the king! ”

He had never seen Youwang, but he had heard others say that Youwang was a middle-aged man in his thirties.

The breath is very deep, and the face makes it impossible to guess anything.

But after actually seeing each other at this time, Zhou Pei found that the other party's age seemed to be much younger than it looked.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that he is a young man of twenty.

After listening to this, the king put down the teacup.

"It turned out to be Vice General Zhou, and the arrival of the big driver is not far away, and someone is coming to serve tea!"

With a wave of his hand, several maidservants came up with teacups.

Zhou Pei's face was polite for a while, and then he sat on a chair not far away, and the maidservant next to him poured him tea.

"Vice General Zhou, I don't know what you came to my palace for running so far."

The Phantom King pretended to be puzzled.

Unless you take a sip of tea, you say with a smile: "Lord Wang, your subordinates won't beat around the bush with you." ”

"As a meritorious man of the Great Cadre, you are now trapped and locked in this Tingzhou, dare to ask the prince if you are willing?"

Raising his head slightly, the eyes around him looked at each other, as if they wanted to see something on his face.

However, the face of the Youwang was still calm, and he responded calmly.

"What is there to be willing to be unwilling to? That's all my father's past, I'm just an idle prince now, even if I'm unwilling, what can I do? ”

"The prince's words are wrong! Please also ask the prince to forgive his subordinates for being straightforward! In the eyes of his subordinates, Da Qian is not sorry for the prince at all! Today's saints are even more sorry for you! ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, he directly wanted to provoke the confrontation between the court and the Youwang.

King You seemed to guess what the other party wanted to say, and the corners of his mouth continued to smile: "There is nothing to be sorry for, the so-called success and defeat have been the truth since ancient times." ”

"Those things are far away from me, and I don't want to think about them anymore, I just want to live a happy life, that's all!"

"Lord Wang, if you think like this, it's not the original intention of the first king!"

Zhou Pei's voice suddenly became low.

"The first king once suffered a lot of grievances in front of the first emperor, and the first emperor favored one over the other, and was very kind to the king of Pingnan, but he had no favor for the first king!"

"If this is not the case, why would those soldiers under Wang Ye's command be dissatisfied with the court because of this?"

"You mean the Phantom Army?"

The Ghost King's brows flickered slightly.

After a while, he continued to speak: "The Youjun has nothing to do with me now, and it has nothing to do with my father, it is said that they have formed a new force called Wanjinlou?" ”

"Hehe, what did Vice General Zhou suddenly say about this?"

After listening, the surrounding voices became even more muffled.

"Lord Wang, the Youjun has indeed formed a new force, and its name is indeed Wanjinlou."

"But in the eyes of the Youjun, you will always be their king! Just raise your arms and breathe! They will be loyal to you! ”

"Lord Wang! Now I'm waiting for your order! ”
