Chapter 265: Seizure of power
Ge Cifeng and Mao Tingsong walked on the country road, but they were unkempt and had completely lost the demeanor of the world. Mao Tingsong is no better, his face is full of dust, if it weren't for a pair of eyes that were spinning around, no one would be able to see that this was still a big living person.
"Your Royal Highness, this time I really lost my wife and broke my army. Not to mention the nine of them, even the little master..."Mao Tingsong said bitterly.
Ge Cifeng laughed out loud when he heard this, and brushed the mud-stained hair on his forehead: "Hahaha, the nine of them are just sent by my father to spy on me." This time, it would be better to borrow the hand of the little emperor and leave them all in the capital. ”
"They..."Mao Tingsong was stunned in place, the relationship between the ten people was not harmonious on weekdays, Mao Tingsong mixed with them, and he didn't find any clues at all: "But the little master always returns..."
"Little master? Hmph, when he grows up, it's not certain who the son is! Ge Cifeng said secretly hatefully: "He was born to my father and the king, and in real terms, he is my younger brother." ”
This news shocked Mao Tingsong beyond comprehension, and he didn't know what to say for a while, Ge Cifeng continued: "However, Gang'er is indeed smart and clever, and he is also the Ge family in the end, and it is indeed a pity to die in the capital." Otherwise, when he grows up, he may not be able to become my father's right-hand man. ”
"That's... Your Royal Highness, don't listen to one side of the story, little master..."
"I haven't touched that slut since I got married, how could it be mine!" Ge Cifeng interrupted Mao Tingsong's words.
Mao Tingsong swallowed back the words later, King Chu Xiang seemed to be obedient to His Royal Highness the Prince, and the father and son were of one mind. I didn't expect this father and son to have this grudge, how did outsiders know...
"But His Royal Highness, if we go back like this, King Chu Xiang will send dead soldiers again..."
"So I didn't go back to Chuxiang, but went directly to the border barracks. As long as I take over the army, how can he help me? Ge Cifeng has arranged his own back road.
Mao Tingsong stopped talking, thinking that this was a contest between the prince of Chu Xiang and the young emperor of the imperial court, but he didn't expect it to be a contest between the father and son of King Chu Xiang. As a curtain guest recruited by His Royal Highness the Prince, he didn't know anything about it.
Mao Tingsong saw that Ge Cifeng's expression was a little gloomy, and he guessed on the side: "His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, but you miss Miss Yue'er?" ”
"Yes, there is such a beautiful and lovely woman in the world, and I regret that I couldn't hook Chu Xiang back this time..."Ge Cifeng said nostalgically.
"I'm afraid that His Royal Highness the Prince will treat Miss Yue'er... It's not just that simple, right? Mao Tingsong's eyes glanced at Ge Cifeng, observing Ge Cifeng's reaction.
Ge Cifeng looked at Mao Tingsong and said: "The reason why I put so much effort into her is because of Chu Xiang. Yi Xiaodao didn't know where he came from, and he actually took back all the Nanhuai and Donglu, if they were all single-minded, it would be a big trouble for Chu Xiang. What do you think? This son's slight trick made the monarch and the ministers not get along, and Yi Xiaodao returned to Nanhuai. ”
"That Yue'er girl's side..."
"In March, I want Yue'er to be the princess of Chu Xiang willingly! Future... But she is the queen of the world! Hahahaha. Ge Cifeng looked up to the sky and laughed, as if he had seen He Yue'er wearing a phoenix robe.
Mao Tingsong pouted on the side: It's not the same old way of using other people's parents as blackmail, but I'm embarrassed to say that I am willing. But if you think about it carefully, Miss Yue'er is beautiful, she really doesn't look like a queen of the world, and she can be a favorite concubine. Mao Tingsong also had unrealistic dreams in his heart.
"By the way, you really escaped last time!" Ge Cifeng suddenly remembered something and questioned Mao Tingsong.
"Six Chen Congwei! Even if you kill me, it's not the opponent of the six Chen Congwei... I'm just making some money to spend, but in the end, it's still life, isn't it? Mao Tingsong said confidently.
Ge Cifeng shook his head helplessly, there was nothing he could do about this Mao Tingsong, the other party was just asking for money. Martial arts are secretive, just leave, I really can't help him. But it's also thanks to him that he ran for his life alone that day, and then turned back to help himself, otherwise how could he have come this far?
"Brother Mao, you are not too young, so you never thought about starting a family? Chuxiang has beautiful scenery and soft women, why don't you buy a house in Chuxiang? Put in some more land, and I will give it to you, servant. It will probably cost hundreds of thousands of taels..."Ge Cifeng "thought of a plan" again, and chattered endlessly.
Mao Tingsong turned a deaf ear...
……
The master and servant walked for a long time, and finally saw Chu Xiang's camp, Mao Tingsong took the lead and came to the camp alone: "Go and call the commander of the army to come out, His Royal Highness the Prince is back!" ”
The guards found Mao Tingsong, but Mao Tingsong looked dirty now, and couldn't help scolding angrily: "This beggar gang's "broken people" is not optimistic anymore, open your eyes and see clearly, is this where you should come?" Hurry up, wait for you beggar gang elders to come out and have your good fruit to eat! ”
"Folding people" is the lowest in the beggar gang, only responsible for begging for money, most of them are still the disciples of the beggar gang when they were young, looted and mutilated, with strange shapes to attract people's attention, but also to prevent their families from looking for it. In Chu Xiang, it is recognized that the person with the lowest status, ordinary people just beat the "broken people" to death in the dark at night, and no one will waste time and effort to track down the murderer.
Several dark red wires stretched out from Mao Tingsong's sleeves, wrapped around the neck of the defending sergeant who spoke, and with a strong pull, dragged him out of the camp and pulled him in front of him. grabbed the collar and said with a solemn face: "Ye just came back, I'm in a good mood, if you say one more thing, your head may not be on your neck." Just go! ”
The soldier crawled into the barracks, and soon, Fan Shen led a group of generals in the camp, elders of the beggar gang and other characters to the outside of the camp, and without looking, he knelt down in front of Mao Tingsong: "Welcome to His Royal Highness." ”
"The prince hasn't come yet, over there, look? Sit and rest under the tree. Go and carry it. Mao Tingsong leaned on a big stone and pointed to the big tree in the distance, and there was a person sitting under the tree, it was Ge Cifeng.
Fan Shen didn't dare to slack off, led a group of elders to get up, and trotted towards the big tree.
"Will you be Fan Shen? Hahahaha, the whole Chu Xiang has the worst look in your eyes, why did you still kneel down to Mao Tingsong? That's it, I won't take advantage of you, wait for me to ask Mao Tingsong to kneel and return it to you. Ge Cifeng teased.
"The end will have no eyes, dare not be, dare not be." King Chu Xiang loves this precious son very much, even if he is the current commander of the military camp, he does not dare to pose in front of Ge Cifeng.
"Get up, hungry." Ge Cifeng climbed up with a tree, and the two generals hurriedly stepped forward to support him, hugged him back to the barracks.
"Your Royal Highness, the prince thinks you think very much, so I will arrange for someone to send you back to Jingcheng." Fan Shen followed behind him and bent down and said.
Mao Tingsong shouted on the side: "Didn't you hear the words of His Royal Highness the Prince of the World? Hungry! Ge Cifeng secretly cast an appreciative look at Mao Tingsong.
The camp was full of food, and Ge Cifeng and Mao Tingsong didn't care about their image, and they didn't even have time to wash their hands. Grab the chickens and ducks and gnaw them, and stuff them when they catch the fragrant cakes, and the people who have just eaten lunch will be hungry again.
The two of them ate it all, and a table of delicacies was eaten by the wind and clouds, and Ge Cifeng stopped his mouth, picked up a toothpick, and covered his mouth to pick his teeth elegantly. Mao Tingsong is a martial artist, but he still doesn't feel full, looking for crumbs and minced meat in the dishes, and stuffing it into his mouth when he finds it.
Ge Cifeng didn't care about Mao Tingsong, raised his eyebrows and asked Fan Shen: "How long has General Fan led the army here?" ”
"It's been almost two months."
"Yo, the New Year in the army? That's hard work. Don't want to have a wife and children at home? ”
"For the sake of the prince, this little thing is nothing."
The smile on Ge Cifeng's face gradually subsided: "Hey, how can you do that?" In the world of family and country, home comes first. If you don't even care about your family, how can you manage the army well? Or General Fan is outstanding and has the talent to govern the world, I think I'm Chu Xiang... Buried the general? Want to go to the imperial court to be a pillar of talent? ”
There is an overtone to the words! Everyone present was a Chu Xiang general, and they heard the meaning of Ge Cifeng, which was to seize Fan Shen's military power.
Fan Shen didn't react, thinking that Ge Cifeng was suspicious of him, so he quickly knelt down and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, just because the Prince of the World entered the court as a hostage, he will not return for a long time, and the last general will not dare to act rashly, for fear that the court will anger the Prince!" The last general is faithful! ”
The generals sighed in their hearts, the meaning of the prince who wants to seize power is already obvious, just follow the words of the prince, and still show loyalty here, can you end up with anything?
"According to your meaning, I stayed in the capital and hindered your achievements?" The toothpick in Ge Cifeng's hand was pinched off.
Fan Shen was stunned, he didn't understand why the conversation suddenly became gunpowder, he didn't dare to say anything more, and couldn't stop kowtowing.
Ge Cifeng walked through the capital, and his temperament was not as indifferent as before, looking at Fan Shen who kowtowed, he had a trace of pity in his heart: "Okay, I know that you have also made a lot of contributions to Chu Xiang, get up." ”
Fan stood up tremblingly, not knowing where to put his hands and feet.
"I read that you have merit, and you are allowed to take a month off to visit relatives in your hometown. Go back. Ge Cifeng said lazily.
Fan Shen opened his mouth wide and looked at Ge Cifeng in a daze, and the generals behind him, regardless of whether they had a good relationship with him or not, stepped forward one after another, squeezed him to the back, and saluted Ge Cifeng: "Meet His Royal Highness!" ”
At this time, Fan Shen, who was squeezed to the end, came back to his senses: the prince turned out to be a military power... He lowered his head and walked to the side, took his big seal, came to Ge Cifeng's side, and knelt down on one knee: "The last general... I returned to my hometown, and asked His Royal Highness the Prince to work hard and temporarily manage the handsome seal. ”
Ge Cifeng stretched out his hand to take the big seal, and said with a smile: "Tell my father, take care of your body." ”
