The happy life of a prodigal

Coincidentally, at this time, Fang Xiu walked towards him, and when he saw King Ning, he smiled and said, "His Highness King Ning is good..."

When King Ning saw Fang Xiu, he also smiled and nodded slightly: "General Fang..."

From the perspective of a prince, King Ning's attitude is simply extremely kind, without any airs.

With a smile on his face, Fang Xiu walked straight past King Ning without stopping, and continued to walk outside the mansion.

When everyone saw this scene, they all showed surprise.

Most of them have had contact with King Ning before, and it is rare to see him treat someone he has never met with such a kind attitude.

At the same time, the manager who stayed in the pavilion to entertain the guests walked quickly to King Ning's side and whispered something in his ear.

After hearing this, King Ning's complexion changed drastically. He hesitated for a moment, turned around, and shouted at Fang Xiu who hadn't gone far: "General Fang, please stay!"

After all, he is the prince of Chu, one of the strong contenders for the throne, Fang Xiu didn't want to cause too much trouble for King Ning.

So, he stopped, looked back at King Ning, and said with a smile, "His Royal Highness, what's the matter?"

King Ning thought for a while, and said: "I have some things to deal with just now. The servants in the mansion offended General Fang by neglecting. It was because I didn't think carefully. I will punish you with a glass of wine in a while!"

What happened just now was just an accident.

Then, the scene in front of them was enough to shock everyone present.

You know, General Fang had a conflict with Young Master Yang just now.

Moreover, looking at King Ning's appearance, it seems that he already knew what happened just now, and his attitude towards Fang Xiu was so kind...

Not only is it kind, it can be called respect.

Even in the face of General Dingyuan, it's nothing more than that...

What kind of virtue and ability this Fang Xiu has made His Royal Highness King Ning value it so much.

For this reason, he even took the risk of chilling the hearts of the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

Could it be...

His Highness King Ning still doesn't know what happened just now?

While King Ning and Fang Xiu were talking, a group of hulking guards in casual clothes walked in from outside the pavilion, separated Yang Ming from the servant, and dragged them out of the pavilion.

Fang Xiu and King Ning maintained a tacit understanding with each other regarding this scene, pretending they didn't see it.

"Your Highness is being polite."

Fang Xiu smiled and said.

King Ning didn't seem to have seen what happened just now, and never mentioned what happened to Yang Ming. He personally welcomed Fang Xiu into the hall, and adjusted his position to the front seat.

On this table, there are five seats in total, besides King Ning and Fang Xiu, there are two other people.

Another seat was vacant.

However, Fang Xiu clearly remembered that the person sitting in this seat was Yang Ming.

As if nothing had happened, King Ning introduced to the other two people on the table with a smile: "This is the General Fang that this king has always mentioned to you. Don't look at his young age. Father's evaluation of him and praise, but even this king would be envious after hearing it."

After finishing speaking, he introduced the two behind him one by one to Fang Xiu.

One is the eldest son of Wei Guogong, and the other is the second son of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites.

The two nodded slightly, with strange expressions on their faces.

The two of them understood what happened just now.

If this matter gets out, it will be a huge blow to the Ministry of Rites and even Prince Ning's Mansion.

But His Royal Highness King Ning didn't seem to care about it at all.

Could it be that His Royal Highness Prince Ning, after entering the palace last time, knew that he had no chance of successfully seizing the heir, so he gave up on himself and no longer cared about his reputation?

When King Ning introduced Liu Zizheng, the eldest son of Duke Wei's mansion, Fang Xiu's eyes flashed with surprise.

The last time I was in Chunfeng Building, I used his name to beat up those two pig heads. I didn't expect to meet him here.

Fang Xiu smiled and said, "I've heard about you two handsome men for a long time, but I saw you today, it's really so......"

Listening to this familiar sentence, Liu Zizheng and the two subconsciously shivered.

Thinking of Yang Ming's fate just now, both of them squeezed out smiles and complimented: "General Fang, you are polite."

The reputation of Fangfu's prodigal son is not only widely spread among the people of the capital.

Even among the noble children who are also dudes, they are also unpopular.

After all, everyone is a person who cares about face. Although there are some things that may not be brilliant, they are still decent.

Where is it like this one, relying on his own brain disease, doing evil everywhere.

I heard that a few days ago, dozens of refugees were instigated, and they blatantly smashed several bookstores in the capital.

If that's the case, that's fine.

But...in broad daylight, this Mr. Fang was not shy at all, and appeared in front of the smashed bookstore in a majestic manner.

Facing the shopkeepers of those bookstores, they also said some incomprehensible nonsense such as 'copyright' and 'genuine'.

The shopkeepers of those bookstores dared not speak out, and one even left the capital directly in frustration.

It's just...

Hey.

After taking his seat, King Ning punished himself with a glass first, then raised the glass, and said with a smile to Fang Xiu: "General Fang has not yet won the crown, but he was the first name in the review, and was personally awarded by the emperor to Habayashi Wei Zuo Zhonglang. You are really young and promising..."

"Your Highness is wrong."

Fang Xiu had a faint smile on his face, but he always kept a distance.

King Ning's intention to win over cannot be more obvious...

In fact, ever since the battle for the heirloom became more and more intense, the courtship of the military heroes, especially the nine important generals, has not stopped for a moment.

However, what Fang Xiu didn't expect was...the way he wins over is to praise people, what young heroes, the pillars of the country.

To the point of deep affection, he even said that if he succeeds to the throne in the future, he will definitely be used in him again, that he is the blessing of the emperor, the blessing of the state of Chu, etc., which can almost be said to be arrogance...

Fang Xiu always thought that he had a relatively thick skin, but he felt a little embarrassed after hearing these compliments.

Maybe I'm tired of boasting...

Finally, King Ning took a sip of tea, looked at Fang Xiu, and asked with a smile: "Someone told me that my father once had a decree, and the person who received it was General Fang..."

"I don't know if General Fang can clear up one or two doubts for this king?"

Ning Wang said with a smile, and then put his gaze on Fang Xiu.

The Emperor Chu gave Fang Xiu many wishes, but only one was unknown, and this secret was something that Fang Xiu could not reveal.

He could only pretend to be puzzled and said, "Did Your Majesty not tell His Highness King Ning?"

King Ning shook his head and said, "Father never mentioned it."

Chapter 137 Yang Ming Lost His Mind

Fang Xiu thought for a while and soon understood.

The case of the Armed Forces Library involves a lot of things. For this reason, two servants have already entered the prison.

There must be more powerful and higher-status envoys behind the scenes, and the most suspected ones... are the two princes in the capital.

The battle for succession is so dangerous, the winner can get the whole world, while the loser can only leave the prosperous capital in despair, go to a remote place in the Chu country, and spend the rest of his life in trouble.

Therefore, no matter Ning Wang or Kang Wang, they must give their all for this, and even have the spirit of success or benevolence.

For King Ning...

The armory case was an opportunity for him to stand up.

If the case of King Kang and Wu Beiku can be connected, even if King Ning committed a serious crime before, both of them will return to the same starting line.

That's why he took the risk of chilling the supporters of the Ministry of Rites to make friends with Fang Xiu, so as to achieve his goal.

Fang Xiu has no interest in this kind of thing, nor does he want to be involved.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Since His Majesty did not tell His Highness, it means that His Majesty cannot know about this matter, and His Majesty once issued an oral order that the content of the imperial decree must not be disclosed, so..."

Fang Xiu didn't finish his sentence, he believed that King Ning must understand what he meant.

Sure enough, after being stunned for a moment, King Ning immediately smiled and said: "Since the emperor ordered it, this king is being abrupt."

King Ning laughed twice, picked up the wine glass, and drank it down in one gulp. A look of displeasure quickly flashed across his face covered by his sleeve.

At this time, there was a loud commotion outside the pavilion.

King Ning put down the wine glass, frowned slightly, and ordered the servants beside him: "Go and see what's going on..."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The servant responded, and as soon as he took a step, he heard a sharp voice full of anger: "Fang Xiu!"

Yang Ming's eyes were red, staring at Fang Xiu who was sitting on the seat drinking, his body trembling uncontrollably, as if he lost his mind, he said sharply: "Fang Xiu, today I will never die with you!"

At this moment, everyone in the pavilion realized that Yang Ming was actually holding a long sword in his hand, shining coldly in the sunlight.

When everyone saw this, they all showed horror and scattered back.

Among them, several young chiefs of the Ministry of Rites retreated while persuading: "Young Master Yang, His Royal Highness King Ning is here, you must not be presumptuous..."

Yang Ming was completely dominated by anger, lost his mind, and couldn't listen to anything.

There is only one person in his eyes now... Fang Xiu.

Only one thing on my mind...Kill him!

Although killing Fang Xiu can't wash away the shame that happened to him, but in a state of extreme anger, people have no sense at all.

Even if he had always been calm and tolerant, he couldn't remain indifferent in the face of such humiliation.

Yang Ming held the sword, his eyes were red, and he walked towards Fang Xiu step by step.

Fang Xiu didn't seem to see him, and continued to drink, without even turning his head to look at him, and didn't seem to hear what he said.

Although the current physical fitness is much worse than that of the previous life, he still has full confidence in dealing with a noble son who has lost his mind.

King Ning on the side, although his face was still indifferent, took two steps back calmly, and winked at the servant behind him.

Immediately, two guards in green clothes came over, one on the left and one on the right, guarding King Ning's left and right.

Only then did King Ning feel relieved, and looked at Yang Ming who was getting closer and closer, with a gloomy expression on his face, and fell into deep thought.

Although after today's incident, Yang Ming's reputation has been completely ruined.

But...just relying on his status as the son of the Minister of Rites, he can also gain a place in the imperial court.

What's more, he himself is a very talented person. In the future, he will not be a problem in the imperial examination, not to mention ranking in the top three, Jinshi and ranking.

For King Ning, it was a great help in itself.

As for Fang Xiu...

He didn't know this person.

But... as far as he knew, he was just a playboy with brain disease.

I don't know what kind of luck, being valued by his father, he was first promoted to be the Zuo Zhonglang general of the Habayashi Guard, and then secretly passed a secret decree to him, which is said to be related to the case of the Armed Forces Library...

Investigating the case of Armed Forces Library is such an important matter, the fact that the father actually taught this task to a young man who has not yet reached the crown, which is enough to show that the father attaches great importance to him.

certainly......

Whether this is the truth or not, only Fang Xiu and his father know.

I thought I could get some information from Fang Xiu today, but I didn't expect...

King Ning's face was gloomy, and his eyes looked at Yang Ming who was holding the long sword tightly in his hand.

No matter what, Yang Ming represented the Ministry of Rites, and the conversation with Fang Xiu just now had hurt the hearts of those present in the Ministry of Rites to a large extent.

If there is no further statement, I am afraid that something will happen to the Ministry of Rites.

All he needs to do now is to watch the development of the situation from the sidelines.

Never show up until the last minute...
