Chapter 122: Deceit
Prince's Mansion Study
"Zifeng, I heard that you moved to Wude Hall yesterday?" The prince's tone was tepid, and his eyes scanned Zifeng's face, as if he wanted to see something from his face.
"Yes." Zifeng's expression was so indifferent that there was no trace of emotion.
"In the past, Prince Ben asked you to live in Wude Hall, but you didn't want to, saying that you were afraid that the master would be too careful, but now you are willing to move here?"
There are words in the prince's words, how can Zifeng not hear them? I couldn't help but sneer secretly in my heart, but I replied quietly on my face:
"In the past, Zifeng thought that the master regarded Zifeng as a son, but now I understand that Zifeng is not from the Liu family after all, and I still live in Wudetang more steadily."
"Alasβ" The prince sighed heavily, raising his hand and scratching the back of his head.
"You said this Heaven-Shaking Tiger, as a master, these things are too ridiculous, he actually wants to grab credit from his disciples, and sabotage our plans many times, grab it, but he has repeatedly messed things up, especially this time, the assassination of the Wing King has failed, and the prince is afraid that he will be counterattacked, so that the prince is now difficult to ride a tiger, and it is difficult to sleep and eat, and now it is estimated that the Wing King is already thinking about how to deal with the prince."
Zi Feng asked, "Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what are you going to do now?" β
"What can I do, what else can I do?"
The crown prince snorted: "Everyone knows that the Sky Shaking Tiger is the person of this prince, and now the Wing King must be ready to deal with me, unless ......"
"Unless what?"
"Unless Prince Ben personally kills the Sky Shaking Tiger, he can dissipate the anger of the Wing King and buy Prince Ben a little more time."
Zifeng was stunned, he never expected the prince to say such a thing, no matter what, the Sky Shaking Tiger has followed him for decades, loyal to him, if the Sky Shaking Tiger assassination is successful, he is naturally the prince's hero, and this assassination is unsuccessful, he is afraid of the Wing King's counterattack, and actually wants to exchange the life of the Sky Shaking Tiger for his own time to turn around, it can be seen that the prince's viciousness is really very comparable, on the contrary, if it is he Zifeng who assassinates the Wing King this time, then he will not get rid of himself?
Purple Wind hung his head and was silent.
The prince seemed to sense the panic in Zifeng's heart, he pretended to sigh sadly, raised his hand and patted his arm, and said:
"Zifeng, it's not that this prince is ruthless, but now this matter is indeed very difficult for this prince. I know that the Sky Shaking Tiger is your master, the so-called one day as a teacher and a father for life, every time the prince reprimands the Sky Shaking Tiger, you will come out to help him speak and excuse him, and consider him in everything, it can be seen that you have filial piety, but this Sky Shaking Tiger is really not angry, and he has lived up to the respect that you have as a disciple for him, and even more so the trust of the prince in him. Because of his rash action several times put you in danger, without any reflection, again and again, if this continues, sooner or later he will cause you to lose your life, it can be seen in his eyes, what are you a disciple? It's no wonder that you left the Liu family angrily this time and moved to Wudetang, this prince understands your feelings. β
"And the Wing King is not an ordinary prince, he is deeply respected by the ministers, there are many people under his command, if he can't kill him, he will fight back, then the prince will be in trouble, and everyone knows, Zifeng You are the prince's person, if the prince has an accident, Zifeng you can't escape either, so, for the sake of today's plan, either the prince killed the culprit of the Sky Shaking Tiger, or directly tied him up and handed him over to the Wing King, the Wing King lost his anger, and the prince can be regarded as having passed this level, Zifeng, do you understand the good intentions of the prince?"
Zifeng forehead: "Yes, Your Highness, Zifeng understands." β
The prince raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "Now that you understand, you know what you should do, right?" Whether to kill the Sky Shaking Tiger, or tie up the Sky Shaking Tiger and give it to the Winged King, you decide. β
"Me?"
Zifeng's body stiffened, and he replied: "Two methods, both are the same result." β
A chuckle crossed the prince's lips: "You can also say that, Zifeng, this prince is giving you a chance to kill your relatives in righteousness." β
For Zi Feng, this is indeed a great opportunity to borrow the prince's hand to kill the Sky Shaking Tiger, but he also knows that the prince's insidious nature is very difficult for people to figure out.
After thinking for a long time, Zifeng suddenly knelt down with a "poof".
The prince was stunned: "Zifeng, what are you doing here?" β
Zi Feng said: "The Sky Shaking Tiger is my master, and it is my future father-in-law, Zi Feng will not kill him, nor will he tie him up, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants Zi Feng to do this, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to kill Zi Feng, Zi Feng will never complain." β
The prince was speechless for a while, and then lowered his face and said, "Zifeng, if the Sky Shaking Tiger doesn't die, he will kill you sooner or later." β
Zi Feng said: "That's Zi Feng's fate, no matter what the result is, Zi Feng has no complaints." β
But he secretly sneered in his heart, except for Zifeng who is doing things for you now, I am the Sky Shaking Tiger, no matter how stupid the Sky Shaking Tiger is, his strong martial arts also have use value, how can you Ji Xuan be willing to kill the Sky Shaking Tiger? Perhaps, you suspect that I have sided with the Wing King, so I didn't do it for a long time, and deliberately leaked the news to the Sky Shaking Tiger and asked him to go to death, and now you give me a chance to kill the Sky Shaking Tiger for nothing, if I agree, wouldn't it confirm your idea? If you want to test me with such tricks, how can I fall for you?
Hearing Zi Feng's resolute tone, the prince was silent, he sat down in a chair, his fingers slid over his bare chin, his eyes were fixed on Zi Feng, as if he wanted to see his heart from his eyes.
After a long while, he spoke: "Let me ask you, why did you move to Wude Hall? β
Zi Feng said: "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked, Zi Feng had to tell the truth, in fact, it was not because of the master, but because of Liu Qingyun. β
"Liu Qingyun? The daughter of the Sky Shaker Tiger? β
"Yes. The master was seriously injured, Liu Qingyun was anxious, so she sprinkled the fire on my head, Zifeng didn't hold it for a while, so she quarreled with her, and in a fit of anger, I moved out. β
"So, you moved out because you were arguing with Liu Qingyun, so you moved out in anger?"
"Exactly. She said something overdone, and Zifeng was in a hurry. β
"What did she say?"
"She said that because I don't have the surname Liu, I can't understand her feelings, and I didn't marry her for a long time, so I didn't treat her and her father as a family at all."
"Yes, Zifeng, if Prince Ben is not mistaken, Liu Qingyun should be in her early twenties, right? Most women are married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and since you are in love with her, why don't you marry her for a long time? β
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Zifeng is now living a life of licking blood with a knife, and there may not be tomorrow after today, I am afraid that I will make a mistake, but it will affect her. Therefore, Zifeng looks forward to the day when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne as soon as possible, and by then, the world will be peaceful, and Zifeng will definitely carry a sedan chair to marry her. β
Hearing the words "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne", the prince was overjoyed, and the corners of his lips involuntarily provoked a smile.
"Oh, I see, no wonder Fang just said that you're not from the Liu family after all, you still live in Wudetang more steadily', and they are all angry with that girl." The prince was relieved, and his tone unconsciously relaxed.
"Yes." Purple Wind forehead.
The prince said: "Zifeng, Zifeng, you are decisive, I didn't expect to be so overwhelmed by the private feelings of your children, girls, if you want to coax a little, why bother to be more serious with her." Arise, then. β
Zi Feng couldn't stand on his knees, and replied: "Your Highness, Zi Feng doesn't dare to get up, Zi Feng definitely can't kill Master." β
The prince chuckled suddenly, stood up and said, "Since you don't want to kill, then don't kill first, you get up." β
Zi Feng secretly sneered in his heart, it seemed that he expected it well, the prince was really testing him.
He bowed his head solemnly and said, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince, for not killing." β
The prince said again: "Zifeng, don't blame this prince, I am also helpless in a hurry." However, if the Sky Shaking Tiger doesn't want Prince Ben to hold him accountable, then he must promise Prince Ben one thing. β
Zi Feng thought to himself, this rudder is really fast, and after talking about it for a long time, what its purpose is, it will soon be revealed.
He said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, please speak." β
The prince said: "You go back and tell him that now that he is seriously injured, let him take care of his injuries at home, and don't worry about other things for the time being, but now that the prince is employing people, he can't move, but there are still people under him, so temporarily integrate all the people under his command into Wude Hall." β
The prince's purpose was finally exposed, he just wanted to take all the people and horses of the Shaking Tiger for his own use, and the Shaking Tiger would not become a big trouble in his heart until he became a light pole, so, the Shaking Tiger, you are smart and confused for a while, and you have been thinking about it for most of your life, but you still haven't been able to figure out his mind, under the hands of the prince, you still dare to have your own team, don't you look for death?! Now it's okay, if you are blind in one eye, your team will be returned to others, and your old life will be saved.
Zifeng forehead: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, rest assured, Master is loyal to you, no matter whether His Highness spares his life or not, he will obey His Highness's orders." β
The prince smiled slightly: "Very good, this is what the prince wants!" Zifeng, you have to keep an eye on the Wing King's Mansion for me recently, report as soon as there is any movement, and also, after this incident, the Wing King will never sit still, and will definitely take action, this prince has to prepare in advance, you let Liuli Shuangsha and your subordinates, but all of them have people and horses on the rivers and lakes, all of them will be brought into the Wude Hall for me, and obey the orders of this prince. β
"Purple Wind obeys."
The prince's eyes closed slightly, and he took a deep breath, "It's coming, it's coming, we're all going to get ready." β
A family member walked to the door and reported: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qi, General Mo Jiechen of the Xiaolong Banner is here." β
The prince opened his eyes and said, "Let him wait for me in the Yihe Hall." β
"Yes." The family retreated.
Zi Feng clenched his fists playfully and said, "If Your Highness has nothing else to tell Zi Feng, Zi Feng will retreat first." β
"Well, to bring in the people of the Sky Shaking Tiger as soon as possible, this prince wants to use people."
"Yes, Zifeng will definitely do his best."
"Go ahead."
"Purple Wind retreats."
β¦β¦
In this deceitful contest, Zifeng did not lose the wind at all, however, the prince's intentions were clearly revealed, Zifeng naturally knew how to deal with it, he did not return to Liufu, but ordered Zhou Yunqi to go to Liufu to pass on the prince's order, and ordered the Tianhu to hand over all the horses under his command and incorporate them into Wude Hall......
