On a luxurious boat on the Jinling River, some young people were drinking and having fun, which was very lively.

Li Wei sat on the deck, drinking and admiring the moonlight tonight.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, and then I saw Fang Zhimiao walking quickly. Seeing Li Dao sitting alone on the deck drinking and having fun, he couldn't help but say angrily: "I'll help you find the Ten Princes everywhere, it's good for you to drink here leisurely alone." ”

Looking at Fang Zhimiao's angry appearance, Li Wei knew that he had not found the Ten Princes.

Fang Zhimiao sat opposite Li Dao, exuding an aura of "I'm angry" all over his body.

Li Wei didn't pay attention to Fang Zhimiao, who was huffing and whistling, and continued to pour himself a drink.

Fang Zhi snatched the wine jug from Li Dao's hand angrily, and then raised his head and drank it in a big gulp. While drinking, he scolded angrily: "Damn, are these ten princes in the heavens and the earth, after searching for so long, not even a shadow has been found." After speaking, he thought of another possibility, "The Ten Princes shouldn't have left Jinling, right?" ”

"No, he's still in Jinling." Li Dao picked up a pot of wine again, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it elegantly, "He didn't go to Yangzhou either." ”

"Still in Jinling?" Fang Zhimiao shouted, "Our people have already dug Jinling three feet into the ground, but they haven't even found a single hair, how can they still be in Jinling." ”

Li Dao said: "Someone hid the Ten Princes very well. ”

"Who has the ability to do this?" In the past few days, Fang Zhimiao has been looking for the Ten Princes, but he has not found the entire Jinling City several times, which makes him very angry. "The entire Jinling City is ours, who can hide the Ten Princes under our noses?"

This is also what Li Dao can't figure out.

"Even if Emperor Lao'er sent a secret guard to secretly rescue the Ten Princes, no matter how great their ability is, they can't hide the Ten Princes so tightly, let alone have no clues." Fang Zhimiao personally looked for someone but couldn't find it, which made him very faceless. "The Ten Princes are like evaporating from the world."

Li Wei frowned slightly and did not speak. Just like Fang Zhimiao said, the entire Jinling City is theirs, who has the ability to take away the Ten Princes under their noses, and also hide the Ten Princes tightly, so that they can't find it at all.

In Jinling City, there is no such powerful character.

"I still think that the Ten Princes have left Jinling. If he was still in Jinling, there was no way I couldn't find him. Fang Zhimiao speculated, "Not everyone of ours has seen the Ten Princes, and if the Ten Princes are disguised, such as beggars, it is impossible for our people to find out." I guess the Tenth Prince must have left Jinling in disguise. ”

Li Dao also thought about this possibility, but he intuitively felt that the Ten Princes had not left Jinling. His instincts were always accurate, and it was impossible to go wrong.

"You just said that it is possible for the Ten Princes to disguise themselves as beggars?"

"I'm just talking about it." Fang Zhimiao felt that Zhao Yao was a prince with a noble status, and it was impossible to pretend to be a beggar, which was too unrequiting.

"Tomorrow, the portrait of the Ten Princes will be posted in the city, and a heavy reward will be offered."

"This ...... It's not good, how can the ten princes say that they are princes. "Fang Zhimiao thinks it's too rampant for them to do this." Didn't you say that it is very likely that the emperor sent someone to rescue the ten princes, which means that the emperor sent someone to Jinling, and we offered a reward for the ten princes in front of the emperor's people, which ...... Too...... Don't take the emperor seriously. ”

Li Dao glanced at Fang Zhimiao, and said in an indifferent tone: "When did I put the emperor in my eyes." ”

"Yes, yes, you have no one in your eyes, no one in your eyes." Fang Zhimiao said angrily, "You are amazing, you are amazing." ”

"It's not the emperor's person, the emperor didn't send someone to save the ten princes." At first, Li Wei thought that the emperor had sent secret guards to save the Ten Princes, but the crown prince said in the letter that the Emperor had not sent anyone to save the Ten Princes.

"What, didn't the emperor send someone to save the ten princes?" Fang Zhimiao's face was stunned, "Who is that?" ”

Li Dao didn't bother to answer Fang Zhimiao's question. If he knew who saved the Ten Princes, why couldn't he find the Ten Princes for a long time.

Fang Zhimiao's mind turned quickly, and he said with a surprised expression: "It can't be the person of the King of Chu, right?" ”

"It's not impossible." Li Dao felt that nine times out of ten he was the person of the King of Chu, and only the people of the King of Chu had the ability to rescue the Ten Princes from under his nose.

"There are actually people from the King of Chu in Jinling City, but we didn't find out!" Fang Zhimiao gasped in shock, his face full of horror, "The King of Chu can unknowingly plant people under our noses, this is ...... It's ......," he was speechless. Don't blame him for being so frightened, because several of them have been rooted in Jinling City for hundreds of years, and Jinling City has long been theirs. It is no exaggeration to say that they all know every brick and tile of Jinling City. Anyone who wants to plant their own forces in Jinling City will not be able to escape their eyes. The king of Chu was able to hide from them and install his people in Jinling City, this is ...... It's scary too!

"It's me who underestimated King Chu." Li Dao admitted happily this time, "I originally thought that the King of Chu was just a little smarter than the crown prince and the acting king, which would make the emperor look at him with admiration." Now it seems that the king of Chu is much stronger than the crown prince. ”

"Isn't that smart?" Fang Zhimiao stood up and exclaimed, "This is a heaven and an underground. The King of Chu may have installed his people in Jinling a long time ago, and we have not been aware of it, which is not something ordinary people can do. ”

Fang Zhimiao looked at Li Dao, who still looked calm, and couldn't help but complain: "You have always thought you were smart, and you think you are the smartest person in the world, but now it seems that you are not, and the wisdom and means of the King of Chu are above you." ”

Li Wei didn't speak, raised his eyes and glanced at Fang Zhimiao coldly.

Fang Zhimiao didn't know where the courage came from, and glared back fearlessly.

"You think you played with the emperor and his sons in the palm of your hand, but as a result, you didn't even see the king of Chu clearly." Fang Zhimiao is Li Dao's friend, but he has always hated Li Dao's conceit, as if he is the only smart person in the whole world, and everyone else is stupid, and they are all his fun. "You turned the prince and the acting king around, but you were played by the king of Chu. What does it feel like to be treated as a fool and play around? ”

Li Wei had a gloomy face and didn't speak, but the eyes he looked at Fang Zhimiao were very terrifying.

Fang Zhimiao glared back boldly: "I told you a long time ago, you are not the only one in this world who is extremely smart, and don't treat everyone as stupid." You looked down on the emperor and his son, and played with them for fun, and now you have become the fun of the king of Chu. ”

Li Dao said in a gloomy tone: "Have you said enough? ”

Fang Zhimiao also knew that now was not the time to laugh at Li Dao, so he sat back down opposite Li Dao.

"The power of the King of Chu is unfathomable, what are we going to do next?"

"Find them one by one." Li Wei didn't expect that he would plant such a big pit on a prince.

"How?" Fang Zhimiao wanted to find out immediately, but he had no clue at all. "We can't even find the Ten Princes, how can we find the people of the King of Chu."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something, and then his face changed drastically, and his eyes were full of shock.

"The King of Chu has already installed people to come to Jinling, so didn't he already know what we were doing?" The more Fang Zhimiao thought about it, the more uneasy he became, "The matter of our cooperation with the crown prince, then he already knew about it." He never exposed us, didn't do anything to us, he wanted to wait for the time to be ripe, and serve us and the prince in one pot...... "The scheming and methods of the king of Chu are too terrifying.

When Li Dao heard Fang Zhimiao say this, a look of surprise appeared on his face, which had always been cold and expressionless.

Fang Zhimiao's heart was turbulent, and he stammered: "King Chu, he ...... He ...... "He didn't dare to continue thinking."

Li Dao's face became very ugly.

Fang Zhimiao only felt cold in his heart and numb in his scalp. An unprecedented fear gripped his heart, and he had never been so scared and uneasy as he was now.

"King Chu, he has been watching the play, watching us and the prince make themselves smart."

Li Dao's hand holding the wine glass was very hard, and the green tendons on the back of his hand bulged out.

Fang Zhimiao's face turned pale, his body shook violently, and if he hadn't reached out in time to support the ground, he would have fallen to the deck.

"I now finally know why the King of Chu was able to escape from the assassination of the crown prince and the acting king, they are not the opponents of the king of Chu at all."

It was obviously summer, but Fang Zhimiao felt cold and biting at the moment.

The King of Chu, who had already quietly arrived in Pengcheng, did not know that he had scared Li Dao and them.

The prince's people in Pengcheng did not find out that the King of Chu and his party had infiltrated Pengcheng. The assassins sent by the crown prince were still searching for the king of Chu on their way to Pengcheng.

As soon as he arrived in Pengcheng, the king of Chu wrote to the king of Wei to inquire about Zhao Yao's whereabouts.

When the King of Wei received the letter from the King of Chu, there was no surprise in his heart.

"Your Highness, the King of Chu has arrived in Pengcheng safely?" Yu Hai knew how many people the crown prince and the acting king had sent to assassinate the king of Chu. To be honest, he always felt that King Chu would definitely die this time.

"With his ability, it's not a strange thing to sneak into Pengcheng smoothly." King Wei sneered, "If he can't reach Pengcheng, I will underestimate him." ”

Yu Hai heard this, and muttered in his heart: Your Highness, are you Quacchu King?

"Your Royal Highness, do you want to tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about the King of Chu's smooth entry into Pengcheng?"

"Tell him what to do." The king of Wei has long been dissatisfied with the crown prince, "let the king of Chu investigate the theft of copper." ”

Yu Hai understood what King Wei meant, but he thought of the fact that the crown prince was going to send His Royal Highness to Pengcheng.

"Your Highness, when you arrive in Jinling, you will go to Pengcheng to investigate the theft of copper."

"I'll just push all this to the fourth child when the time comes." After the king of Wei finished speaking, he picked up the pen and wrote a reply to the king of Chu.

"Your Highness is wise."

After the king of Wei finished writing the letter, he handed it to Yu Hai.

After Yu Hai handed the letter to the secret guard, he returned to the side of King Wei.

"Your Highness, you will arrive in Jinling tomorrow, and there will be a bunch of things waiting for you to deal with at that time, so you better rest early."

"No, help me prepare a fast boat, I'm going to Jinling tonight."

"Huh? Your Highness, are you going to Jinling tonight? ”

"I'll go to Jinling to visit my tenth brother first." King Wei said, "The whereabouts of the tenth brother cannot be known to anyone for the time being. ”

When Yu Hai heard this, he complained sharply in his heart: Your Highness, you just can't wait to see the Tenth Highness.

Seeing that Yu Hai was stunned, King Wei glared at him and said, "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and prepare." ”

"The slave and maid will go at once." Yu Hai didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly ran to prepare the clipper.

A moment later, the King of Wei left first with the secret guard on a clipper. Yu Hai stayed on the official ship to "pretend".

They searched all over Jinling City by Li Wei and did not find Zhao Yao, who was eating fruit beautifully at this time, looking at the script.

Shopkeeper Fan served Zhao Yao very well and made him gain a few pounds.

In order not to arouse suspicion, Zhao Yao did not tell Tongxi about his whereabouts. After reading so many good-looking scripts, it's a pity that I can't share them with Tongxi.

There was a sudden knock outside the door, and after Zhao Yao heard it, he didn't raise his head and said, "Come in." ”

Shopkeeper Fan walked in and respectfully said to Zhao Yao: "Your Highness, the prince will be able to arrive in Jinling tomorrow afternoon." ”

"Really?" When Zhao Yao heard this, he immediately dropped the notebook in his hand and said with a happy face, "Starling is finally here." ”

Shopkeeper Fan was worried that Zhao Yao would be happy, so he impulsively ran out to pick up King Wei, and hurriedly reminded him: "Your Highness, I know that you are anxious to see the prince, but you can't go out to pick up the prince now." "Now the Li family is looking for His Royal Highness Ten in Jinling City.

"Don't worry, I'll wait here for the starling to come to me." He's not stupid.

Shopkeeper Fan was relieved in his heart, did not bother Zhao Yao anymore, and retreated.

After reading the script for a while, Zhao Yao fell asleep. When he slept until he was in a daze, he felt that someone was watching him and heard someone talking in his ear.

It sounded familiar.

Zhao Yao in his sleep felt as if he had heard it somewhere, who was talking?

Listening to the voice, it seems to be a starling.

Mynah?!

Zhao Yao woke up from his sleep suddenly.

King Wei was just about to leave, and when he saw Zhao Yao suddenly wake up, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Seeing that it was really King Wei, Zhao Yao hurriedly sat up, then stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes, and shouted in disbelief: "Starling? ”

"It's me." King Wei smiled apologetically, "It's me who woke you up." ”

"Starling!" Zhao Yao rushed towards King Wei with joy, and then hugged King Wei tightly with both hands, and kept calling "Starling" in his mouth.

When King Wei saw Zhao Yao so happy to see him, a smile appeared on his face. He hugged Zhao Yao hard, and then raised his hand and patted his back gently.
