life in a hurry

When Chen Feiqing was desperately looking for the emperor, news came from the capital that An Guohou had rebelled.

Chen Feiqing was dumbfounded.

Of course that person didn't just say that An Guohou was plotting rebellion, he said it more euphemistically, saying that the emperor has been in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, and there have been some big and small disturbances in the capital. King Huai and other princes were about to make trouble, so An Guohou was invited out of the town by the helpless ministers. with.In this town, it is easy to ask the gods to send the gods, and now most of the government is controlled by An Guohou.

The left and right had no choice but to secretly invite people to Jiangnan to ask the emperor to return to Beijing to preside over the overall situation.They sent many people, but this one was the only one who could reach Jiangnan safely, and only Chen Feiqing could be seen.

When this person saw Chen Feiqing, his heart was ashamed, and he felt that the sky was going to destroy the country.

Chen Feiqing said: "I know."

Of course you know, you and An Guohou are father and son, you know better than anyone else!The man dared not speak out.

Chen Feiqing said again: "I will ask the emperor to return to Beijing immediately."

Chen Feiqing really returned to Beijing with the emperor, the puppet thrown down by Fu Nansheng.

The puppet was very obedient, but Chen Feiqing still didn't dare to leave an inch, and had to stare at him for food, clothing, housing and transportation, which seemed a bit weird to outsiders.

After all, before leaving Jiangnan, Chen Feiqing had already used the emperor's favor to act recklessly.As if overnight, Fu Nansheng, Yao Yi and even Qiu Qianjin all suddenly became seriously ill and avoided others. Now the person who presides over the affairs of Jiangnan on behalf of Yao Yi was sent by the emperor—the emperor "entrusted" Chen Feiqing to send him.

The people below naturally had doubts and worries, but the other party didn't do anything else, and did the usual things step by step. Yao Yi's words came out of Yao's mansion to keep everything as usual, and everyone can't really turn against it.

The imperial driver stopped outside the capital, Chen Feiqing went back to the capital alone, went straight to An Guohou's mansion, and asked An Guohou: "I heard..."

An Guohou interrupted him and said, "If I were you, I wouldn't bring that puppet back."

Chen Feiqing was startled: "Father, what did you say?"

"There is no need to pretend with me," An Guohou sneered, "The emperor has already been sent to the country of Mo, the eldest prince must not have been taken captive to raise him to do good deeds, he will make news soon, and everyone will know about you Chen Feiqing Holding a false emperor hostage is more courageous than Lao Tzu."

Chen Feiqing asked: "Are you really in collusion with Mo Guo?"

An Guohou said: "I said, I'm just protecting myself."

For a moment, Chen Feiqing was not sure what his father meant, so he thought about it and said, "As long as we believe that the emperor in my hands is real, others will not doubt it. The eldest prince kidnapped the emperor to blackmail the Central Plains. He has already It is impossible to let the emperor come back, and he will only use the emperor to gain an inch."

An Guohou asked: "So you are not going to save the emperor?"

Chen Feiqing said: "Of course I want to save him, but if the eldest prince thinks that he can use this to plunder the Central Plains, then he is wrong."

Chen Feiqing thought, if the emperor were here, he might do the same.At the beginning when the eldest prince intended to kidnap Chen Feiqing to blackmail the emperor, Chen Feiqing already felt that the eldest prince was whimsical.The emperor will never let anyone blackmail him, and Chen Feiqing is the same.

An Guohou stared at Chen Feiqing for a long time, and suddenly laughed: "You really didn't run away."

Chen Feiqing said: "Father, withdraw your soldiers. I have already brought back the emperor's personal soldiers. Now that you are being suspected by others, the best way is to prove your innocence."

An Guohou suddenly stopped laughing, and squinted at him.

Under the flickering candlelight, Chen Feiqing suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

After a while, An Guohou asked him calmly: "I'm not innocent in the first place, why should I prove my innocence?"

This is the worst possible outcome.

Chen Feiqing didn't want the matter to come to this point: "Father, don't joke with me at this time."

"I have never joked with you in my life, come to tell you now?"

Chen Feiqing asked: "Are you really—"

"Can't I be the emperor?" An Guohou laughed, "The emperor is not only weak and sick, but he is also very sick and licentious—"

Chen Feiqing said: "You clearly know why the emperor is going south."

An Guohou said: "Yes, I know, but hundreds of officials and people don't know."

Chen Feiqing got up, and just took a step towards the door, when he heard the sound of small footsteps outside, the sound of biting wind, and the sound of the blade being unsheathed.

He stopped, looked back at An Guohou, and asked, "When did you start planning this matter?"

An Guohou said: "It started when your mother conceived you."

Chen Feiqing was startled: "Why..."

An Guohou said: "It started when I had to raise a son for others."

Chen Feiqing was unable to speak for a while.

Chen Feiqing sat on the chair, stared blankly at An Guohou for a long time, and finally spoke again, calling: "Father..."

An Guohou sneered.

Chen Feiqing unexpectedly wanted to make a joke that was not funny: "Am I really Uncle Ying's son?"

An Guohou asked: "Do you think Xuanying is more like you, or is the emperor closer to you?"

Chen Feiqing fell silent again.

An Guohou kicked the Eight Immortals table over violently, and cursed: "I will work hard for him, he sleeps with my woman!"

Chen Feiqing was still the same as she was when she was a child. Seeing him losing his temper, she couldn't help being startled, and her expression was a little scared.He was beaten by his father a lot when he was a child, and he has always been afraid of his father.

Seeing his appearance, An Guohou smiled happily: "It is said that I take care of my son well and have strict family education. In fact, I just see that you are not used to it."

Chen Feiqing stood up again and asked, "Where is my mother?"

"She doesn't want to see you, and I won't let her see you again." An Guohou said, "You really think everyone likes you, Chen Feiqing? I hate you, and your mother hates you even more."

Chen Feiqing smiled instead: "Father, I don't know why you did this, but state affairs return to state affairs, you can involve me, not my mother."

"I hate the way you can still smile no matter what, exactly like your own father."

Chen Feiqing didn't want to continue talking to him, and she wouldn't believe such inexplicable lies at all, so she turned around and walked out.But just as he took a step, he heard the wind behind him, and hastily turned sideways to narrowly avoid his father's weapon.

"Father!" Chen Feiqing was startled, and looked at his father a little blankly, "You can tell me if you have anything to say, do you have to lie to me every time? I'm really so unreliable, you have to Take me for a fool?"

An Guohou said with a sneer: "You will believe when I tell you a lie, but now you just don't believe when I tell you the truth, who can be blamed?"

Chen Feiqing said: "I can't believe such absurd words."

"Can't believe it or don't want to believe it?" An Guohou said, "You blame others for treating you like a fool, why don't you think about it, because you are a fool, just like Liang Yu, even he can't stop you Why don't you ever think about why only Liang Yu stops you at this time, but the emperor and I don't stop you from getting a notorious son of a whore?"

Chen Feiqing said slowly: "Because you believe in me."

An Guohou seemed to have heard a joke: "Because you are so stupid, everyone is lying to you. You are as indecisive as Liang Yu before, and you are a benevolent woman."

Chen Feiqing was about to go out again, and opened the door, ignoring the people outside the door, and went out.

Then, a cold arrow shot from the wall and pierced towards his heart.Chen Feiqing was taken aback, but couldn't dodge in time, and the arrow pierced into his shoulder.

He could hardly believe that his father really wanted his life.

Lu Ding and Chen Feiqing supported each other and returned to Yujia's residence, and followed Chen Shuduan.

It was very similar to a long time ago, Chen Feiqing and Lu Ding often did this, and Chen Shu always followed.But I don't know when it started, the three of them had their own affairs and rarely got together.

Chen Shu hurriedly fetched hot water to get the wound medicine, only Chen Feiqing and Lu Ding were left in the camp.

Lu Ding's injury was less serious, he poured a cup of cold tea for Chen Feiqing, and said quickly: "Ning Wang received your news and asked me to come back to pick you up, but there was some delay on the way, but luckily it was not too late. Night. King Ning can't act rashly for the time being, but he is trying his best to mobilize all the people he can...Brother?"

Chen Feiqing's expression made Lu Ding feel a little strange.

After a while, Chen Feiqing said: "You have lied to me too."

Chen Feiqing asked him: "Who else has never lied to me?"

Lu Ding was speechless for a moment.

Chen Shu called hot water: "Wash the wound quickly, I'll give you medicine - what's wrong?"

Both Chen Feiqing and Lu Ding looked at Chen Shu.

Chen Shu was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Chen Feiqing suddenly smiled: "Chen Shu also lied to me, he said that he must marry a wife after me, and now the children can run away."

Chen Shu was even more puzzled: "Why—"

Both he and Lu Ding were stunned.

Chen Feiqing suddenly lowered his head, let out a whimper like a trapped animal, and then kept holding his head and crying for a long night.

It rained suddenly in the middle of the night.

months later.

The emperor said to Bai Qiancao: "I feel more and more healthy in the past few months. It seems that your new prescription is really effective."

Before Bai Qiancao could speak, the eldest prince beside him laughed, "Xiao Wang, I've searched for so many good things for you to eat, so of course you should get better."

The emperor also smiled: "I should thank you, but because of my current position, I still don't say anything."

The eldest prince said: "Hey, can this be offset? If you should thank you, thank you. Other things belong to other things."

The emperor smiled and said: "There are a lot of those medicinal materials in my palace. If it hadn't been brought here by the eldest prince, I wouldn't have to travel to accompany the army. Maybe it would be better than now."

"That's not right. If you were kidnapped by other people, your life would not be as comfortable as it is now." The eldest prince said, "I sincerely regard you as a friend. If you are not the emperor of the Central Plains, the two of us will definitely get along well." Become a confidant, you are much more normal than the rest of you in the Central Plains."

The emperor smiled.

The eldest prince said again: "Many people must have said bad things about me, but I really feel that I am a loyal person. Look at how many times Gouer hurt me because of Fu Nansheng, and how many times Fu Nansheng hurt me. I didn't tell them. Too fussy. So you don’t have to be afraid, take good care of it, and in the future I will win the Central Plains, maybe I won’t kill you, it’s not easy to find such an easy-going person in this lifetime.”

The emperor said: "Of course it is good that the eldest prince has such confidence."

"Why, do you still think that your little lord has a chance of winning?" The eldest prince laughed out loud, "We have already conquered three cities in a row, and your capital is still arguing endlessly over whether the emperor in your little lord's hands is real or not. , Anguohou, who was the best at fighting, was put in prison by his son. But you are really easy to use. Pushing in front of the city gate, not to mention surrendering immediately, at least calmed down a little bit. Actually, I don’t I like to fight and kill. It can calm down the anger. It would be great for everyone to sit down and chat slowly, and it will save lives. So you really should persuade General Chen, those hard-to-beat cities are all his friends. Keeping, keeping countless casualties, and committing crimes. Aren’t you a benevolent monarch, why are you not afraid of your people’s suffering now?”

The emperor took a sip of tea, smiled and said: "A kind person cannot be an emperor."

The eldest prince said: "I treat each other with courtesy, and you have to show me some face."

The emperor raised his hand and said: "Then I invite the eldest prince to play a game of chess."

The eldest prince frowned: "I don't want to play, why do you like playing chess so much?"

The emperor smiled: "I only like to play chess with you, because I am not good at chess, and it is rare to meet someone like the eldest prince who is worse than me. In fact, I also admire the eldest prince, and I am willing to be friends with the eldest prince." .”

The eldest prince grinned and shook his head in disgust: "I know you only like younger ones, I'm much older than you, and you're coaxing me."

The emperor smiled and said: "This is a misunderstanding. I like good-looking people, and the eldest prince is very beautiful."

The eldest prince laughed immediately: "My royal father always thinks that I look like a monster, and many people think so."

The emperor said: "That's because they don't know how to appreciate it, and they don't have much knowledge."

The eldest prince said: "They are more knowledgeable than you. Don't you always stay in your palace and can't go out. Thanks to me, you can see more scenery."

The emperor smiled and asked: "Isn't it because of my blessing that the eldest prince can see more of the scenery of the Central Plains?"
