Chapter 25: The Four Princes

At the autumn hunting scene, the overall situation has been decided... Xiao Beichen turned to the soldiers behind him and ordered: "Temporarily detain all those suspected of rebellion, and wait for the emperor to return to the palace." ”

"Yes!"

After saying that, he waved his hand, and then walked alone to the place where the six princes were, looking at Ji Yiyu, who was surrounded by a cage and completely lost his former demeanor, Xiao Beichen squatted down in front of the cage and whispered to him: "Sixth brother, I haven't seen you for a long time!" ”

Hearing this, Ji Yiyu slowly raised his head, and cast his gaze on the person who defeated him with a gray gaze like a dead corpse, and said hoarsely: "Everyone says that the four princes of the Jin Kingdom have been able to write and martial arts since they were young, and they are the dragon and phoenix among the people who have the most qualified sons of heaven, but they were sent to the Firmament Mountain by their father in the name of recuperation when they were young, and they have not been heard from since... Hehe, my brother is fortunate to have a battle today, it is better to meet if he is really famous. ”

"The sixth brother praised it falsely, it's all a false name, and I'm really ashamed."

"Since ancient times, the winner is king, and the loser is the villain! I have nothing to say if I lose to you today, but don't forget, the four princes, there is also a King Qi behind his back, how long do you think you can rely on this battle? ”

"Hehe, this doesn't have to worry about the sixth brother for his brother, besides" Xiao Beichen paused, his eyes flashed, and he said coldly: "This time, until the end, it is not certain who will kill the deer!" ”

"You"

"Sixth Brother" Xiao Beichen saw that the hour was almost up, so he stood up and suddenly showed compassion to Ji Yiyu, who was already an underground prisoner: "Don't worry, when you return to the palace, the fourth brother will intercede with your father and the emperor on your behalf to save you from the death penalty, after all, this battle of power between the parties in the court, without the sixth brother, the former audience, the fourth brother always feels that it is not enough in his heart!" ”

After that, ignoring Ji Yiyu's hateful eyes, he turned to the guards and instructed: "Take a good look at the six princes, don't let them 'get hurt'." ”

"Yes!"

After explaining, when he turned around and saw Meng Yu walking to him, Xiao Beichen frowned and asked sharply, "What about Song Wan?" ”

"Well, back to the Lord, after we and Miss Song successfully forced Queen Qi away, she told us to rush to the scene to assist the Lord first, and she will arrive later."

Hearing this, Xiao Beichen's eyebrows jumped, and he secretly wondered if this woman would not listen to his advice, or couldn't help but catch up with King Qi, right? The more he thought about it, the more likely it became, Xiao Beichen immediately decided: "Send someone to carefully search Wanwan's whereabouts, and report to me as soon as there is news, remember, don't let it have any mistakes, and if you can't do it, you will return to yourself to receive the punishment!" ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey!"

Seeing that the people had gone away, Xiao Beichen just wanted to go back to the camp to clean up the aftermath, but was stopped by the father-in-law Gao who came from the other end, "The fourth prince stays, Your Majesty is invited." ”

had already guessed that his father would definitely summon him, and Xiao Beichen was not surprised at this time, but Shi Shiran changed his direction and said softly: "In this way, Father-in-law Lao Gao will lead the way." ”

............

In the camp tent on the outskirts, the emperor in simple clothes sat on the main seat, and his spirit was unexpectedly vibrant, not at all like the appearance of being forced into the palace by his own son, but looked at the people below with appreciation, and slowly said: "This time, Chen'er has worked hard." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Beichen raised his head from the ground and said respectfully: "Father, this is what a son should do, there is no such thing as hard work." ”

"Hehe, good, worthy of being my good emperor! After returning to the palace this time, you will restore your own identity, it was also for your safety that Zhan Lao sent you out of Beijing, and now that many years have passed, it is time to come back and let everyone see how many skills the four princes of the Jin Kingdom have! Chen'er, don't let me down. ”

"Yes, my son will obey my father's will."

"Your Majesty, King Qi is asking to see you outside."

"Well, let him come in" After saying that, Gonggong Gao led a person in from outside, it was Ji Qinian who came in from the dust, "Erchen pays a visit to his father." ”

"Excuse me! Come, Qi'er, this is your fourth brother, you haven't seen each other for many years! It was just Chen'er who led the troops to arrive, and he was able to successfully save a sudden war, speaking of which, Qi'er is rarely late today, what happened? ”

"Back to my father, my son was constantly attacked by gangsters on the road last night, but fortunately there were subordinates sent by my uncle to escort me all the way, so I hurried here, and as soon as I came here, I heard about the sixth brother...."

"Hmph, this rebel, don't mention it! Okay, since you have nothing to do, you can go down first, and we will discuss it when we return to the palace tomorrow. ”

"Yes, the retainers are retired." The two of them spoke in unison to the man sitting on the throne.

After withdrawing from the tent, Ji Qinian looked at Xiao Beichen carefully with a scrutinizing eye, and said with a smile: "The fourth brother is very capable!" ”

"What does the second prince mean? The younger brother didn't understand. ”

Seeing his deliberate appearance of pretending to be stupid, Ji Qinian knew that he could only swallow his anger when he was dumb this time, "It's okay, the generous gift that the fourth brother gave me today, I will personally return the gift in person on the other day, and we will come to a long time." ”

"Hehe, in this case, the younger brother is waiting for the second prince's teaching in the mansion!"

At this point, Ji Qinian knew that the fourth prince who suddenly returned to Beijing was the biggest enemy behind him, and after smirking at him, he turned around and ordered the people below, and said coldly: "Check out this person for me, and I will see the most detailed information about him tomorrow." ”

"Yes!"

Not long after the "Lord" Ji Qinian left, Meng Yu appeared beside Xiao Beichen and said, "Miss Song has arrived." ”

"Where?"

"His subordinates have brought him to the camp and are waiting for the Lord to come over."

Hearing this, Xiao Beichen hurriedly turned around and headed in the direction of the camp on the other side......

"Congratulations to the Four Princes on their victory this time!" Seeing people walk in from the outside, Song Wan stood up and quipped with a smile.

"Where?" didn't answer her purpose of deliberately changing the topic, Xiao Beichen looked at Song Wan as if he was going to ask the question, waiting to listen to her explanation.

Knowing that there was no way to fool around any longer, Song Wan could only stroke her forehead weakly, and said softly: "Just go and see an old friend I haven't seen for a long time." ”

"Who?"

"Pei Ze."

"Pei Ze? Pray for the people around the king? You"

"Okay, okay, I admit it, this time it's true that I'm a little bent on going my own way" After a pause, the corners of Song Wan's lips slowly overflowed with a smile, and she looked at him and teased slightly: "Why do I think you feel like you're interrogating a prisoner." ”

"Wanwan" knows her temperament very well, and it is not appropriate to say too much here, so she can only say helplessly: "Tomorrow, I will go to the palace first, you and Meng Yu and they will go back to the house and wait for me, don't run around anymore, the capital is not better than the outside of the city, you have to be careful in everything." ”

"Okay, you have just recovered your identity, there must be a lot of things to be busy with, you don't have to worry about me, I will take care of myself."

"Wanwan, you"

"Huh?"

"That's it, it's okay" originally wanted to ask her how she felt about seeing Ji Qinian again, but after thinking about it, no matter whether she was touched this time or not, as long as he was there, he would not allow the two to repeat the same mistakes...

The next day, Xiao Beichen was responsible for escorting the cage of the six princes to follow the imperial army back to the palace first, Song Wanluo followed and walked in the other direction with Meng Yu and his party, and just around the corner, he took a look at the oncoming Pei Ze, "Slow!" ”

Hearing the call, Song Wan slowly turned around and looked at the person in front of her suspiciously, "Is the adult calling me?" ”

"Did you show up on the south hillside last night?"

"No, I was in the camp last night, I really don't understand what the adults mean by that?"

"You"

"Master Pei" looked at Pei Ze, who stepped forward and wanted to pull Song Wan over, Meng Yu hurriedly stopped him and blocked him behind him, so he said seriously: "The girl is the person of our fourth prince, and I hope that Lord Pei will respect herself." With that, he gave Pei Ze a salute, turned around and continued to walk in the direction of returning home with Song Wan...

The Four Princes? Pei Ze stood in place and thought for a while, looking at the figure of the person until it disappeared, and his eyes gradually became meaningful.

............

Xiao Mansion, looking at the mansion in front of her, which obviously had some age problems, Song Wan couldn't help but wonder if she said, "This is where your master lives?" ”

"The girl doesn't know, the lord has not been in the capital for many years, this house is still given by His Majesty before the mother's death, although it is a little old, but the lord has sent someone to repair the interior of the house earlier, and the girl can live with peace of mind."

Hearing this, Song Wan raised her eyebrows unexpectedly, although she was curious about why Xiao Beichen, who was the fourth prince, had left the capital for many years, she also knew that Meng Yu was just a subordinate, and the inside story could only be found out when Xiao Beichen returned home.

"Miss Song, it's been a long time."

As soon as he stepped into the mansion, Shangguan Shenxue walked out of the courtyard. Seeing this, Song Wan lightly hooked the corners of her lips and said, "Miss Shangguan is so elegant, I didn't expect that since we separated, I came to the capital one step ahead of everyone. ”

"Hehe, it's not that Miss Song has excellent ability, Xue'er is ashamed of herself, so she can only return to the capital first, and obey Xiao Gongzi here, ah no, now it's the orders of the fourth prince."

"In that case, then I won't get in the way of Miss Cher."

"Miss Song" was about to turn around and leave when she saw someone, Shangguan Shenxue called out loudly: "Although it is a beautiful talk to win this battle so beautifully, as far as I know, King Qi has suffered such a big loss today, I am afraid that he will not give up on this, and it is better for Miss Song to be careful outside." ”

"Thank you Miss Xue'er for reminding me, but I'm also used to soldiers coming to block, water to cover the earth, in this place in the capital, who can have the last laugh is really not certain, isn't Miss Xue'er also here because of this?"

"Hehe, at this point, I have a tacit understanding with Miss Song, maybe"

"Maybe what?" Xiao Beichen came in a hurry from outside the mansion, and when he saw that the two seemed to be talking happily with each other, he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"It's nothing, since the fourth prince has returned to the house, then Xue'er will not bother the two of them and retreat first."

After the person had already walked away, Xiao Beichen turned to Song Wan and explained: "The list of King Qi in Shangguan Shenxue's hand is beneficial to our plans later, so I took her over for my own use, Wanwan, don't misunderstand." ”

"Well, I know, you just came out of the palace?"

"Well, my father has disposed of the six princes and one party in the court today, and this matter is over. Wanwan"

"How?"

"It's the temple fair in a few days, we" paused, Xiao Beichen looked up at Song Wan, his eyes were so thick that he couldn't dissolve the tenderness and sweetness, "At that time, let's go to see the lanterns together, okay?" ”
