Volume 1 The First Entry into the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 71 The Second Prince
"For the sake of the people of Li in the two cities and two states, the Shifting Flower Sect fought with hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Aozhou Empire back then, and the soldiers of the Aozhou Empire who killed were all terrified, and finally fought side by side with the imperial court regardless of the taboos of the rivers and lakes, and left no piece of armor left behind the intruders of the Aozhou Empire! This incident was told to us every day when our brothers were young, and my father once said a word to us, which I still remember vividly. The four princes said.
Li Xiyun was deeply puzzled, and couldn't help asking, "Oh, what are you talking about?"
The fourth prince looked at Li Xiyun's bright eyes, and said seriously: "The chivalrous man of the rivers and lakes deserves to be the first to move flowers." ”
Li Xiyun couldn't help but show a smile on her face after hearing this, of course she was happy when she praised her sect so much today.
Seeing the smile on Li Xiyun's face, Li Tiancai and the four princes were relieved, this girl with a quirky temperament but strong martial arts is really difficult to deal with!
On the other side, in the house where a long bridge lies on a long bridge in Yuzhou, and in the main hall, more than 20 men knelt in front of one person, bowing their heads and not daring to make a sound. The face of the man standing was gloomy, and the anger contained in it could be felt by everyone.
"Haven't you found the fourth child yet?" the man spoke, his voice as flat as water.
The person kneeling in front raised his head, if the people of Yuzhou saw it, they would definitely find that this person was actually the Taishou of Yuzhou, and among the more than 20 people kneeling at the scene, all of them were officials from the two cities and two states. Yuzhou Taishou said respectfully: "Please forgive the emperor, the minister has sent all the troops of Yuzhou to find His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, Hongfu Qitian, will be safe and sound." ”
"Okay, if something happens to the fourth prince, you can bury him with him, and save him from being lonely on the road. The emperor's tone is still so indifferent, but in this indifference, there is a murderous aura that makes people shudder. Everyone present would not doubt what the person in front of him said, this person sentenced hundreds of thousands of people in the Aozhou Empire to death with one sentence back then, what is the life of these twenty or so people?
These people hurriedly lowered their heads and begged the emperor to spare their lives, but the man was not moved at all, there was no trace of waves in his eyes, and he was calm and terrifying.
At this time, a young man of seventeen or eighteen sitting next to the main hall, with a pale face and a rather delicate appearance, stood up and walked in front of the emperor and said respectfully: "Father, the sons and daughters plead with you on behalf of the officials of the two cities and two states, and please open the net and let them go, after all, the disappearance of the fourth brother has nothing to do with them." ”
The emperor looked at the young man in front of him with a hint of strangeness in his eyes, and said lightly: "Second brother, although the disappearance of the fourth child has nothing to do with them, but they haven't been found for so long, which is enough to prove their incompetence, this kind of official, what's the use of keeping them?"
This young man is the second prince, the officials saw the second prince intercede for them, and their hearts were very moved, they are not officials of the central government, and they can't see the second prince at all on weekdays, how can they not be moved when the two princes are willing to stand up for them?
The second prince was still so respectful, "Father, the two cities and two states are so vast, this is only a pillar of incense, even if you come and go, it will be more than this time, not to mention that you have to find someone in it, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack! Besides, it is night at this time, there is no light to see, and those who are looking can only look for it with lanterns, which increases a lot of difficulty! Erchen begs his father to give them more time to find the fourth brother!"
The corners of the emperor's mouth seemed to be drawn up with a smile arc, his eyes stared at the second prince who lowered his head, and said lightly: "Okay, it's up to you." ”
The emperor waved his hand and signaled everyone to go down, and everyone did not dare to drag out, so they all withdrew from the hall.
At this time, there were only the emperor and a few palace maids and eunuchs in the main hall, the emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the back of the second prince leaving, and muttered: "Second brother, I hope you don't do stupid things." ”
In one of the rooms in the house, the second prince sat on the wooden chair of Huanghuali with a gloomy face, picked up the blue and white teacup in his hand and slammed it on the ground! The cup of porcelain shattered to the ground, and the eyes of the person kneeling in front of the second prince were wrapped in a layer of gauze, and he knelt on the ground trembling and frightened.
"Waste! You are a master of the Blood Melting Realm to catch two powerless children and still let them run away?! Not to mention for the time being, you are still blinded by them! I have raised you for so many years, am I raising you a waste!" the second prince roared angrily.
This blind man is naturally going to kill the fourth prince and the full strength of the talent, at this moment he is blind and has become a disabled person, his strength has been greatly reduced, the second prince will naturally not be as polite to him as before, he has expected this, but he didn't expect the second prince to be so resolute and directly call him a waste, which makes his heart completely cold.
Man Qiang said with a bitter face: "Your Highness, if it was just the four princes and Li Tian, the slave would have brought the heads of the two of them now, but a little beast appeared out of thin air, and the little beast was so scheming that he blinded my eyes with poison, and the slave let them run away." ”
"Who is the other person?!?" the second prince asked in surprise.
"It's a little girl, holding a jade bone sword in her hand, the jade bone sword is the only one in the world, it is the head of the Flower Shifting Sect, the old lady of the Plum Sect passed the jade bone sword to her apprentice after the merit of the Plum Sect, and now that little Nizi is holding the jade bone sword, it must be a person from the Flower Shifting Sect!" Man Qiang said with certainty.
"Hmph, dare to go against this prince, sooner or later I will destroy you!" The second prince said with a gloomy look in his eyes: "The fourth brother knows that you are my person, and now he already knows the idea of killing him, and I am afraid that he will go to his father to complain." ”
"The second prince doesn't have to worry, his subordinates think that the fourth prince will not go to His Majesty to complain. At this time, a polite middle-aged man with a goatee beside the fourth prince said.
"Oh, what do you mean by that?" the second prince asked, turning his head.
"Hehe, the fourth prince is not the one who does not have a city, and the talent next to him is even more cunning, if you tell Your Majesty about this, Your Majesty will definitely think that your brothers are not in harmony, this is the thing Your Majesty hates the most, when the two of you fight to the death, but let the eldest prince and the sixth prince benefit, how can a person with such a mind do such a thing. The man with the goatee chuckled.
"Sir, why do you have such a high evaluation of your talent? I think this person is just a fame and reputation, pretending to be a hypothetical, I have watched his "Laughing Fairy", although he writes well, but the poem is really a bit of a rhetoric, grandstanding, not a great talent!" said the second prince with a frown.
The goatee laughed loudly, and there seemed to be a mockery hidden in that laughter, "Hahahaha, the second prince, how can you be as ignorant as the world! This talent, as long as you don't die young, you will definitely become a person who covers the sky with one hand in the Tongtian Dynasty in the future! Your Highness, don't underestimate the talent of the calendar! If the four princes have no talent to help him, he has the least chance of seizing the throne among the four princes! But when the talent of the calendar decides to help the four princes, the second prince regards him as the number one enemy! Your Majesty may have sent him his talent as a companion to study because he saw that the strength of the four princes was too weak, although he had the heart to seize the throne, but he had no power to seize the throne. This is talented, talented!"
The second prince was stunned when he heard this, and asked in surprise: "How is the talent of the past compared to Mr.?"
Goatee shook his head and said slowly: "Compared to him now, I am better than him, in three years he can catch up with me, in five years I am not as good as him, and in ten years he will be a bird and I will be a bird." ”
The second prince's face was ruthless, and he said gloomily: "I must find a chance to get rid of this talent!"
The man shook his head again, with a look of disappointment in his eyes, how can the second prince be the emperor with such a heart! The emperor's mind should be concerned about the world, and he can accommodate the common people, but the second prince can't even tolerate a single talent, alas!
"The second prince doesn't have to, the talent and the fourth prince have only known each other for more than ten days, plus the talent is arrogant, and it will not be so easy to surrender to someone, so His Royal Highness is better to kill than to accept it, if you can collect the talent under your command, the second prince is like a tiger!"
The second prince's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he exclaimed: "Yes, sir, this plan is very clever! I don't believe that he is not unmoved! If the fourth child can't give him it, I can give it, so I don't believe that I can't dig him!"
The second prince glanced down at Man Qiang, and said lightly: "You get up, although you are blind, but you have followed me for so many years, there is no credit and hard work, your treatment is still the same, I hope you are not broken, I mean, do you understand." ”
Man Qiang kowtowed to the second prince heavily, and said respectfully: "Man Qiang thanks the second prince for his grace! Although Man Qiang is blind, he is still practicing kung fu, and he will do his best for the second prince in the future, and he will never dare to have two hearts!"
The second prince nodded with satisfaction, "You can go down." ”
After Manqiang left, the second prince's face turned gloomy again, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
