Mo Ling's fake green lock hurriedly ran to the Xu Mansion, looking out of breath.

"Slave Qingsuo, I've seen Lord Xu!"

Xu Guanhai, as the henchman of the champion Hou, watched Concubine Wan grow up since she was a child, and recognized the green lock in front of her at a glance, which was Concubine Wan's personal maid.

Qing Suo visits late at night, there must be something important.

"Concubine Wan, what do you command?" Xu Guanhai opened the door and entered the mountain and asked directly.

"This is the letter that Niangniang asked the slave to hand over to Lord Xu!"

Qingsuo handed over the letter that Ji Tianci had changed to Xu Guanhai.

Xu Guanhai opened the letter, and the first time he did not read the content of the letter, but recognized Concubine Wan's handwriting, and acted very carefully.

After confirming that the handwriting on the letter was indeed written by Concubine Wan herself, she looked at the contents of the letter.

The first half of the handwritten letter was all expected by Xu Guanhai.

Let yourself inform the champion Hou, it is reasonable here. ‘

Concubine Wan has such a big thing, and only when the champion arrives in person can she have a glimmer of life.

But in the second half of the handwritten letter, Xu Guanhai became more and more frightened the more he looked at it.

In the letters, Concubine Wan hinted that Emperor Xiaoyuan was not in good health and his life was short, and she also preached vigorously that the crown prince would succeed to the throne, which was justified.

At the end of the letter, Concubine Wan's words made Xu Guanhai's heart even more turbulent.

Let the champion Hou lead the troops back to the imperial capital!

What is this for?

Xu Guanhai only felt that there was a Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, which exploded in his mind, almost shocking him to the point that his face was pale, and even the letter in his hand was almost dropped.

Rebel?

This is the first impression that comes to Xu Guanhai's mind.

Leading the Zhenguo army back to the imperial capital, how is this different from rebellion?

Xu Guanhai's heart flashed with deep horror and a faint panic.

But soon, Xu Guanhai calmed down and seriously thought about Concubine Wan's plans.

He found that what Concubine Wan said was not nonsense.

Last time I was in Xiangguo Temple, Concubine Wan once mentioned that Emperor Xiaoyuan's health was not very good, and the affairs of men and women were far worse than when he was young.

Emperor Xiaoyuan is a great master, and when converted to the age of ordinary people, it should be the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period.

When the Spring and Autumn Period was at its peak, he had a pure heart and few desires, which made it difficult not to make Xu Guanhai not have associations.

Perhaps, when Emperor Xiaoyuan really broke the limit, he injured the fundamentals and left irreparable injuries.

If Emperor Xiaoyuan is injured, the crown prince and the queen of the champion join forces, and it may not be impossible to make this Wu country change the sky.

The more Xu Guanhai thought about it in his heart, the more he felt that this matter was promising.

In his eyes, a flame called ambition ignited.

Xu Guanhai put away the letter, his expression was calm and flat, and he couldn't see the content of the letter that he was shocked just now.

"Go back and tell Concubine Wan that the letter will be received, please rest assured."

"The slave knows!"

Qing Suo nodded, and without saying much, he took advantage of the night and left the Xu Mansion.

Not long after Qing Suo left, Xu Guanhai couldn't hold back the excitement and thoughts in his heart and went to the East Palace overnight.

The East Palace has been surrounded by the Imperial Forest Legion.

Not even a single fly can fly in.

Flies can't fly in, but the Grand Master can.

The Imperial Forest Army on the periphery of the East Palace seemed to be tightly guarded, but in front of Xu Guanhai, the great master, it was full of loopholes, and it only took him ten breaths to pass through the heavy guards of the Royal Forest Army and sneak into the East Palace.

At this time, in the East Palace, the gloomy clouds were bleak.

The eunuchs and maids felt like the sky was falling, and they were terrified.

As the master of the East Palace, the prince completely lost his fighting spirit, and used wine to drown his sorrows, no matter how Mr. Dong beat the prince, it had no effect.

"Xu Guanhai, I've seen the prince!"

Xu Guanhai's voice rang out abruptly in the night.

His sudden arrival attracted the attention of the crown prince and Mr. Dong.

The prince's face showed a thick anger and resentment, and before Xu Guanhai could speak, he scolded loudly, like a shrew.

"What? Lord Xu, a great grandmaster like you, are you also here to mock Lone? ”

"Isn't it lonely, you feel very happy?"

As soon as Mr. Dong saw that the prince spoke, he offended Xu Guanhai to death, and shook his head again and again, extremely disappointed in the prince.

It's just that as a strategist, even if the prince is gone, he has to do his best for the prince and die.

Mr. Dong hurriedly got up and explained to Xu Guanhai.

"Lord Xu, the prince is drunk, please forgive me!"

"Nonsense!"

"Lonely and not drunk!"

"You jumping clowns one by one, didn't you just see that you were lonely and fell into the well?"

Mr. Dong smiled bitterly and continued to help the prince wipe his buttocks.

"General Xu, don't take the prince's nonsense to heart."

Xu Guanhai heard the prince's mouth full of feces, and the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

If it weren't for the person in front of him, but the prince of the dynasty, and the value of use, he would have been unable to control the anger in his heart and slapped the prince to death.

But he knew very well the value of the crown prince.

Before he was officially deposed, the crown prince was still the crown prince, the prince of Wu and the heir of Wu.

This is the righteousness!

Once Emperor Xiaoyuan died violently, the crown prince succeeded to the throne, which was logical.

It can be said that even if the prince is a fool, it is very important for Xu Guanhai.

Because, the crown prince symbolizes the rule of law.

Therefore, Xu Guanhai could only pinch his nose and endure the prince's nonsense, but he had to lose his smile.

Even, to put it bluntly, the prince's appearance of losing his fighting spirit is better, better, and easier to control for them.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I am here to discuss a major matter with you, Your Highness."

"Big deal? What's the big deal? ”

"Lone is no longer the prince, big things or something, it has nothing to do with Lone!"

The prince continued to drink sullen wine, looking unmotivated.

Xu Guanhai didn't talk much nonsense, and directly handed over Concubine Wan's handwritten letter to the prince.

After reading Concubine Wan's handwritten letter, the drunkenness in his eyes dissipated in an instant.

Champion Hou is invited to send troops!

This is......

Rebel!

No, it's not a rebellion, it's the side of the Qing monarch!

If the champion Hou is really willing to send troops, with the support of the Zhenguo Army, the strongest army in the Wu State, the Qing Jun's side may not fail.

For a moment, the drunkenness in the prince's eyes dissipated, and he regained his previous clarity and ambition.

Mr. Dong naturally also discovered the change in the prince, and he was very curious, what did Concubine Wan write in the letter that could make the prince have such a huge change?

Since the prince returned to the East Palace, he has been depressed, and he has used alcohol to kill his sorrows, no matter how he persuades him, he has no fighting spirit and looks like he is waiting for death.

Now, I have regrouped and have a fighting spirit.

"Lord Xu, what the letter said is true?" The prince's face was full of excitement.

Xu Guanhai said seriously: "Your Highness, this is Concubine Wan's handwritten letter, and every word is beautiful. ”

"You also know that Hou Ye's love for Concubine Wan, what weight does Concubine Wan's words have in Hou Ye's heart?"

"As long as Your Highness is willing to give enough chips, you will definitely be able to impress Lord Hou!"

Xu Guanhai's words can no longer be hinted, but nakedly expressed.

To the good!

Talk about conditions!

When the prince heard Xu Guanhai talk about the conditions, instead of being annoyed, he nodded excitedly.

After all, it's a head-killing business, and there must be enough returns.

If Xu Guanhai didn't even talk about the conditions, he would be cheating.

"General Xu, what do you think can impress Master Hou?" The prince didn't bother to think about it, and took the initiative to ask.

"The five southern counties are outstanding people, and the Hou Ye has said many times that he will go to the five southern counties to retire in the future."

Five counties in the south!

When the prince heard Xu Guanhai's conditions, he raised his eyebrows.

Champion Hou Ke really has a big appetite.

There are only twelve counties in Wu State, and the five southern counties are going to go in one go, which is almost half of the foundation of Wu State.

Xu Guanhai had a big appetite, but the prince didn't want to think about it, so he agreed to come down in one bite.

In his opinion, he now has nothing but to quietly wait for the judgment of Emperor Xiaoyuan.

But if Qingjun becomes the side, he is the master of Wu State, even if only the seven northern counties are actually obtained, it will be a big profit.

Earned at least seven northern counties.

"General Xu, your conditions, Lone agreed!"

"Please also convince the champion!"

Seeing that the prince was so knowledgeable about current affairs, Xu Guanhai's face showed an aunt-like smile.

"Your Highness, don't worry, I will definitely be able to convince the Hou Ye!"

After that, Xu Guanhai's figure flashed and disappeared into the East Palace.

The prince and Mr. Dong didn't even see clearly how Xu Guanhai left.

It wasn't until Xu Guanhai left that Mr. Dong couldn't help but ask the prince.

"Your Highness, what is written in Concubine Wan's letter?"

"It's nothing, it's just ......"

"Qingjun side!"

Mr. Dong's face was full of horror, and his heart was swallowed up by the stormy waves.

……

Tai Chi Temple.

Emperor Xiaoyuan looked at the dark eyes in the distance, and his deep eyes seemed to be darker than the dark eyes.

Liu Zhong walked to Emperor Xiaoyuan's side in small steps, his voice was very low, and he whispered.

"Your Majesty, a quarter of an hour ago, Concubine Wan's personal maid met Xu Guanhai, and then Xu Guanhai went to the East Palace to have a private meeting with the prince."

"Xu Guanhai is a great grandmaster and a strong man, and the minions don't dare to get too close, and they don't hear the content of his private meeting with the prince."

Whether it was Xu Guanhai, the crown prince, or Ji Tianci, they didn't expect that everything that happened tonight was under the attention of Emperor Xiaoyuan.

Emperor Xiaoyuan didn't say much, and continued.

"What else?"

"Qing Suo was knocked unconscious by Wei Yanfeng before meeting Xu Guanhai and tied up in the Fifth Prince's Mansion for a quarter of an hour."

"In addition, after Qingsuo was imprisoned in the Five Princes' Mansion, Lin Daxian met with His Royal Highness the Fifth Emperor overnight."

"Lin Daxian?"

Emperor Xiaoyuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "What does he do?" ”

Emperor Xiaoyuan's eyes revealed a hint of coercion.

This coercion is very light, but it has brought great pressure to Liu Zhong's heart.

He lowered his head, not daring to hide anything.

"Your Majesty, Lin Daxian is a famous handwriting imitation master in Wu Kingdom!"

After hearing Lin Daxian's identity, Emperor Xiaoyuan chuckled.

"Who did you learn from Ci'er's old and cowardly character?"

"I have always acted above board!"

Emperor Xiaoyuan sighed, as if he was lamenting the disgrace of Ji Tianci's methods.

Liu Zhong lowered his head, secretly slandering in his heart.

The character of the five princes, of course, is inherited from Your Royal Highness.

Your Royal Highness, when you were young, you were even more yin than the fifth prince, otherwise how could you kill the former prince?

It's just that these words, Liu Zhong can only secretly think in his heart, give him 10,000 guts, and he won't dare to say it.

"Your Majesty, Xu Guanhai has already left the imperial capital!"

"Are you going to stop him?"

Emperor Xiaoyuan looked at the sky in the distance, and in the eastern sky, there was already a trace of fish belly white.

Under the light of the morning light, Emperor Xiaoyuan shook his head.

"No!"

"Let him go to Yinping Pass to meet the champion Hou!"

Hearing Emperor Xiaoyuan's decision, Liu Zhong said no more.

In his opinion, Emperor Xiaoyuan naturally had his reasons for doing this.

As for what the reason is, where is he, a minion, able to put his beak?

"Xiao Zhongzi, what do you say I do to Champion Hou?" Emperor Xiaoyuan suddenly asked coldly.

Liu Zhong was stunned by Emperor Xiaoyuan's question.

After savoring Emperor Xiaoyuan's question, Liu Zhong thought about it carefully, digested the voice of Emperor Xiaoyuan's words, and said slowly.

"Your Royal Highness, you are naturally very good to Emperor Xiaoyuan, and you are like brothers."

"Your Majesty, you and the champion Hou Jun Shengchen Xian, the mountains and rivers, the people still circulate the story between Your Majesty and the champion Hou!"

"Yes! When I met Champion Hou, I was a teenager. ”

"It is the champion Hou who grows up with me, rises together, and takes this throne together."

"I also hope that I can be a monarch and minister with the champion Hou for a lifetime!"

"I hope he doesn't disappoint me!"

Emperor Xiaoyuan's gaze was deep and quiet.

……

The Three Princes' Mansion.

The three princes stayed up all night, pacing back and forth in the study.

He launched the entire intelligence network overnight to find out the news of the East Palace.

Since the East Palace was surrounded by the Imperial Forest Legion, all kinds of gossip have been flying all over the sky, and there are rumors that the prince is going to be deposed in the market.

As a prince, the third prince knows more than the ordinary people.

The prince was at the gate of Honglu Temple and attacked the envoys of Hanguo.

This is what many officials have seen with their own eyes, and it is absolutely true.

It's just that he doesn't understand, why did the crown prince attack the envoy corps of Han?

Is it because Su Zhijing gave him a green hat?

It's too much to breathe!

For the sake of a mere woman, lose your future.

In the eyes of the third prince, it is simply stupid.

He also believed that the crown prince would never be stupid to such an extent.

There must be!

There must be an inside story that he doesn't know.

At this time, Luo Jiuding met the three princes overnight.

The moment he saw Luo Jiuding, the three princes urgently stepped forward to greet him, but before Luo Jiuding could salute, he was helped up by the three princes.

"Mr. Luo, do you know the inside story of the East Palace?" The third prince asked with an eager expression.

Luo Jiuding stroked his beard and bowed slightly.

"Third Highness, I have heard some gossip in the East Palace."

"It's just that it's unconfirmed, and I can't guarantee the authenticity of these gossip."

"Mr. Luo, just say it, you will judge alone!"

"Third prince, there is gossip in the East Palace, saying that the prince had an affair with Concubine Wan and was discovered by Su Zhijing."

"The prince attacked the envoys of the Han Kingdom in order to kill people and kill them!"

Hearing this exciting news, the three princes' eyes widened and they were full of horror.

The turbulent waves in his heart lasted for a long time, and the third prince calmed down a little, and hurriedly turned his head and asked.

"Where is Xu Guanhai at this time?"

"Your Highness, Xu Guanhai has returned to Yinping Pass overnight!"

"Sure enough, Champion Hou will also intervene in this matter!" The third prince took a long breath and said, he didn't believe that the champion Hou would sit back and watch his most beloved daughter be sent to the cold palace.

"Let our people, keep an eye on the silver screen's every move!"

"I want to know the movements of the champion Hou at all times!"
