The Great Hero [Comprehensive Martial Arts]

During Chu Xiao's narration, most of King Taiping's attention was still focused on the portrait.

They are so similar, the facial features of Gong Jiu and Wang Fei seem to have been pulled out from the same mold, but there is a slight difference in the shape of the face.

Of course, only King Taiping, who always keeps the face of the princess in his heart, can see the connection between them at a glance.

It's not that Chu Xiao never met Princess Taiping when he was a child, and his memory has always been very good, but it is so, when he confronted Gong Jiu face to face, Chu Xiao did not associate Gong Jiu with Princess Taiping.

The temperament of these two people is too far apart, they are two extremes.

Chu Xiao still vaguely remembered that Princess Taiping was an extremely gentle woman, always with a soft smile that made people feel like a spring breeze, and she had a very good temper at first glance.

But what about Gongjiu?

Gong Jiu's coldness and conceit were almost written on his face.

This portrait is very vivid, and it fully depicts Gong Jiu's "I am the number one in the world, and everyone else is an ant" demeanor, but in the eyes of King Taiping, his son looks just a little arrogant.

And as the heir of Prince Taiping, isn't it normal to be arrogant?

Chu Xiao: "..."

I hope, Uncle Wang, you can still think so after meeting Gong Jiu himself.

After listening to Chu Xiao's narration wholeheartedly, King Taiping just turned his eyes away from the portrait. His emotions seemed to have calmed down at this time, at least his tone was not as excited as it was at the beginning.

"According to what you said, he is now on an unnamed island in the South China Sea?"

South China Sea...it's a bit far away, but if he travels day and night and drives fast, he should be able to arrive within a month.

King Taiping thought, it must be too late to celebrate the New Year with his son, but it would be nice to be able to catch up with the Lantern Festival.

Although I can't see any urgency from the words and deeds of my uncle Wang, but Chu Xiao knows that after finally finding his only son who has been missing for many years, his uncle Wang must have only one thought in his head at the moment, and that is to leave immediately, with the fastest speed. Speed ​​up to Gong Jiu.

Chu Xiao really didn't want to pour cold water on her at this time.

But he had to remind King Taiping: "... Uncle Wang, you can't enter Wuming Island."

King Taiping frowned, a little puzzled: "Why can't you get in?"

Even though Wuming Island is far overseas and strictly speaking it is not under the control of the imperial court, but as the dignified Prince of Daqing, the owner of Wuming Island should give him some respect no matter what.

Besides, he wasn't looking for trouble, he was just looking for his son.

Why can't I get in?

"Eh." Chu Xiao hesitated for a moment before organizing his words: "Uncle Wang, you don't know that this unnamed island is not an ordinary island, but a stronghold of a river and lake force. Most of the people above are also Wu Ming's subordinates."

And Wuming Island is not a decent force yet.

According to the report of the spies, this unnamed island not only amasses money through many gray channels in private, but also often conducts some human life transactions, but its behavior is very low-key, so it is not conspicuous among many forces in the world.

Chu Xiao dared not underestimate the danger of this unnamed island.

On the contrary, it is precisely because Wuming Island has remained mysterious for so many years and is almost unknown to the outside world that he feels even more afraid.

In addition to martial arts, the unnamed island owner's scheming and imperial methods are also not to be underestimated.

King Taiping's focus was a bit crooked: "So Yu'er has been working under the hands of someone in the Jianghu for so many years?!"

Chu Xiao couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

"That's not the point... well, Uncle Wang, don't stare at me, don't worry, the eldest son is the direct disciple of the nameless island owner, and he has a high status on the island, so he is the only one who orders others around."

Although theoretically speaking, other people can't command Gong Jiu, but the owner of Wuming Island has this ability.

Apart from being the island owner, Wu Ming was also Gong Jiu's master, and it was only natural for the master to order his apprentice to run errands to do some errands.

But is it possible?

Look at Gong Jiu's haughty and conceited face, does it look like he would be subservient and at the mercy of others?

Chu Xiao had to admit that even if he knew that Gong Jiu was his cousin, he still didn't have a good impression of him.

He holds grudges, especially grudges.

Gong Jiu had stabbed him more than a dozen times at the beginning, if it wasn't for his fate, and because he had what Gong Jiu wanted in his hand, grass might have grown on his grave now.

...Suddenly I have the urge to sue my uncle Wang.

"Cough, so you mean that it may be dangerous for me to go to the island rashly?"

King Taiping was also eager for ideas, so he shifted the focus for a while. Now that Gong Jiu had a good life in Wuming Island and was not wronged, he returned to his usual calmness and rationality.

Chu Xiao's concerns were not unreasonable.

His identity is very useful in most places, but in a place that is not under the control of the imperial court and is strictly speaking a stronghold of Jianghu forces, it may not be of much use.

It may also attract hostility.

People in the Jianghu are more or less resistant to the court. Of course, the court's perception of the people in the Jianghu is not good.

But he couldn't give up looking for his son just because of this.

"At worst, this king will lead a group of personal guards to go together."

King Taiping said that if the other party refuses to let him go to the island, he will simply lead his troops to attack by force, and then take his son to pat his ass and leave.

Well, there is nothing wrong with the ancestral domineering style.

"This method is possible." Chu Xiao nodded in agreement first, and then changed the topic: "But——Uncle Wang, can't you change your mind? It doesn't necessarily mean that you have to go to him."

"The environment in the waters around Unnamed Island is very complicated. Unless someone who knows the route guides you, it's easy to hit the rocks or get lost halfway. I think it's better for you to stay in the capital and wait for him to find you, Uncle Wang, for safety's sake."

King Taiping... King Taiping couldn't help but wrinkled his face, a little worried.

If possible, of course he would also like to wait for his son to come home by himself.

But this is not, isn't this another secret.

His stupid son ran away from home because he misunderstood some things, and he left for more than ten years without any news. It can be seen that he still misunderstood him deeply. It is basically impossible to go home on your own initiative.

Chu Xiao blinked, revealing a somewhat sly smile.

"I know what you're worried about, Uncle Wang, but that's nothing. If you want to trust your nephew, you might as well leave it to me to arrange it."

He patted his chest, and swore a promise: "In less than a month and a half, my custodian cousin will automatically come to the capital!"

King Taiping didn't respond, but just looked up and down Chu Xiao with a suspicious look.

To be honest, he really couldn't believe this guarantee.

After all, Chu Xiao was an unreliable brat in his eyes.

Chu Xiao: "..."

Do you want to be so shameless?

You have to force him to come up with a trick, right?

After deliberating for three to five seconds, Chu Xiao suddenly lowered his head, raised his hands to cover his face, and then muttered in a low voice as if aggrieved: "I knew that you, Uncle Wang, have always looked down on me, thinking that I am not as smart as Brother Huang. capable……"

King Taiping was speechless.

What's wrong with this?

Chu Xiao continued to mutter in a low tone: "I just want to find a chance to prove to Uncle Wang that I am capable. Even if I am not as good as Brother Huang, I am not far behind..."

Having said that, Chu Xiao sniffed.

"!!"

Hearing this movement, King Taiping was startled, and hurriedly said: "I'll leave it to you to arrange it, okay?" So don't cry!

He is good at leading soldiers and fighting, but forget about coaxing children.

Chu Xiao, who became more and more proficient in acting skills and was able to move freely, withdrew the aggrieved and disappointed expression on his face in the blink of an eye, and reiterated to King Taiping with a grin: "It's settled, I will arrange this matter! Uncle Wang, don't go back on your word!"

No.

I already want to regret it now.

King Taiping felt very tired looking at his nephew Xiong, and besides, he always felt that it would be wrong to leave this matter to Chu Xiao.

But a gentleman can't chase after a word...

King Taiping, who had never done such a thing in his life, suddenly had the urge to make an exception.

He struggled to think, after all, it was about his own son, so it seemed no big deal to regret once?

However, Chu Xiao had already made a decision on his own.

"I'll take it as your acquiescence if you don't speak, Uncle Wang, then what, I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do, so I'll go back to the palace first, see you later!" After saying that, he quickly opened the door and rushed out.

It was so fast that King Taiping didn't even have a chance to react and stop him.

Seeing the back of Chu Xiao flying away, King Taiping was dumbfounded for a moment, then suddenly strode out of the study and walked towards the stables in the backyard.

"My lord?"

"Bring out that bloody sweat horse, the king is going to the palace for a while."

And be fast, be fast!The brat's reaction just now was too weird, there must be a ghost behind him, he has to catch up quickly to find out what happened.

……

After two sticks of incense.

Chu Xiao, who was blocked at the gate of the palace by King Taiping: "Uncle Wang, you really think too much, I really didn't have any crazy ideas."

"Then why are you running so fast?" King Taiping looked down at Chu Xiao on his horse, his eyes were like lightning, as if he wanted to see something from his face.

Chu Xiao, who was really wronged this time, couldn't laugh or cry.

It really occurred to him that he forgot to do something important—Emperor Qing and the Empress Dowager didn't know that he had found a way to completely solve the problem of cold poison!
