Emperor Wuqian smiled bitterly, as if he was not aware of King Jing's anger, he shook his head and said: "This is a forbidden place, and there are only you and my brothers." Hongche, you have the blood of the Xuanyuan family in your veins, why should you deny this? Back then, it was just that my father was too nonsense......"

"Your Majesty!" King Jing drank lightly, his tone was already condensed, "The events of the year have long since disappeared, and the minister doesn't want to mention it anymore." The minister's surname is Xue, and he is the only son of the Xue family, that's all! ”

The pavilion was silent, and only a few warblers could be heard occasionally from the mountains.

The tea that Emperor Wuqian held to his lips had cooled slightly, making him lose his interest in sipping.

He slowly put down the porcelain cup and said softly, "You hate me? ”

From "I" to "I", we can see the sincerity of Emperor Wuqian. However, King Jing's heart became more and more of a sense of crisis, and also a trace of sadness.

For so many years, he was trapped at the border pass, and without an edict, he never set foot in the capital. Now, he has been ordered to return to Beijing, but he is still guarded against and suspicious, is it because of this nasty blood in his body?

"Protecting the family and defending the country is the greatest wish of the minister in this life, and this is enough." King Jing didn't dare to delay at all, and immediately replied, "Your Majesty has never been sorry for the minister, so why do you say this?" ”

Emperor Wuqian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said dissatisfiedly: "This is not true. ”

King Jing frowned: "Your Majesty said this, but the ministers don't know why." ”

Emperor Wuqian stared at King Jing's face and said word by word: "You have a grudge against the previous emperor, but you say loyal words to me. Hongche, how do you reassure me about you? ”

King Jing was silent for a moment, his narrow eyes turned to look at the clouds and mist in the distance, sighed, and then said: "Your Majesty is in this mountain, and the fog is heavy, where can you see clearly?" ”

Emperor Wuqian's dragon eyes narrowed slightly, blocking the luster in his eyes, and only the wisps of cold light continued to escape.

"You have a point." Emperor Wuqian said lightly, "By the way, Yihan will go on an expedition in a few days, what do you have to entrust him?" ”

King Jing lowered his eyes and stared at the cup of tea poured by Emperor Wuqian himself, the crisp green and tender tea leaves in the cup were still floating vertically, although it was cold, but still a faint fragrance permeated.

"Your Majesty named him the general of Zhenbei, it is his supreme honor, this expedition to defeat the state of no way, it is also his loyalty and responsibility, and the minister does not have much entrustment." King Jing said lightly.

Emperor Wuqian smiled slightly, then stood up, walked to the edge of the pavilion, looked at the misty clouds and mist in the valley, and said leisurely: "You have been a horse for half your life, and so is your son." Hongche, I only have one word I want to ask you. ”

King Jing bowed his head and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, please speak, the minister will know everything." ”

Emperor Wuqian turned his eyes and looked at King Jing fixedly, his eyes showed perseverance and seriousness that he had never had, his voice was cold, like the bells and drums of Yuanji Temple, which made people panic: "At the beginning, you thought about rebelling against the Xuanyuan clan, and at that time, you were the most powerful. In the end, you were willing to withdraw your troops and bow down, trapped in the bitter cold of the border. I only ask you, why did you suddenly give up when everything was ready and you could have risen to become the king on your own, and instead tried to ensure that I ascended the throne? Do you know that if I ascend to the throne and then capture you in the name of a thief, even if you have 300,000 elite soldiers, you will be trapped in the palace at that time, and you can only be captured. ”

King Jing slowly raised his eyes, quietly staring at the scorching eyes of Emperor Wuqian, his eyes couldn't help but show a piercing coldness, he suddenly smiled, revealing a neat row of white teeth, and said lightly: "Your Majesty regrets not doing this in the first place?" ”
