"This kid really doesn't know what to do." The goatee didn't want the cooked duck to fly away, so he turned to the leader and said, "Let's tie him up and take him back to Beijing, otherwise I don't know how many troubles there will be along the way!"

The leader saw that the young master of the rich family was from a Shili family, and seeing that he had no choice but to get riches, even if he followed his temperament and sent back the stolen property, this kid would probably not want to go back to Beijing with his brothers.

Then this little guy can't help being petty anymore.

The leader nodded with a gloomy face, and the three brothers immediately rushed up with sticks and surrounded the boy.

The man standing behind the young man was the first to attack. The top of the wooden stick aimed at the young man's back and stabbed at the young man's heart.

The man couldn't pull up his left foot, and couldn't stop his body. He fell forward and hit the handle of the truck, his eyes turned black instantly.

Seeing this, the two people on the right rushed forward, and hit the stick on the boy's face. There was a muffled "bang", only to find that the stick hit the head of the brother who fell to the ground just now - the brother was blocked by the boy holding the collar on the back of his neck. After these two blows, he passed out completely.

The boy kicked the stunned man towards the passerby, and the two quickly reached out to catch it, but they missed it, and were knocked to the ground by the boy who took the opportunity to come around.

"Good!" Old man Xu on the tree couldn't help cheering in a low voice.

The leader and Liu Sanhu were stunned, they didn't expect this young man to have such skill, and he defeated the three brothers with his bare hands.

The two who were kicked down struggled to stand up, not daring to make a rash move, and took a few steps back, waiting for the leader to issue a command, and the four attacked at the same time!

The boy unexpectedly accurately judged the blind spot where the four of them attacked in advance, dodging and counterattacking effortlessly.

In the blink of an eye, all five men were knocked to the ground.

Old man Xu looked at the young man standing alone under the tree, and said with emotion: "Although his moves are not routine, they seem to have used your Tai Chi mentality, Lao Qiu, do you know this kid?"

The Juggernaut didn't speak.

Old man Xu turned to look at him: "What's wrong?"

The Juggernaut looked at the boy under the tree and said in a low voice, "He seems to be waiting for someone."

The next moment, the boy slowly turned his head and looked up, looking at the hiding place of the two of them!

"Come down if you want to fight." Lu Qian stared at the two people on the tree expressionlessly, and said indifferently: "I'm in a hurry."

"He found us." Old man Xu looked at the Juggernaut: "His perception seems to be stronger than yours? Have you taught him the mind?"

The Juggernaut straightened his collar immediately and wiped his hair.

The old guy looks very solemn, and he only pays attention to his image when he wants to put on airs of his master.

Old man Xu issued a warning: "I discovered this kid first! You can't rob my apprentice!"

"He used my Taiji mentality." The sword master turned his head and smiled at the master Xu with a face full of trepidation: "It seems that the master in his heart has already been chosen, and you can't force it. You—" He waved at the old man Xu He waved his hand and asked him to leave in a sensible manner and not to humiliate himself.

So, Lu Qian saw two old men grabbing each other's hair and ears, scrambling to fall from the tree in front of him.

"Let him choose by himself!" Old man Xu, whose ears were pulled, desperately grabbed the sword saint's hair crown.

The Juggernaut who was forced to bow his head: "Let go first."

"Count to three and let go!"

The two old men finally stopped fighting each other, regained their high airs, and turned to look at the boy——

But the boy had already gone away leading the carriage.

"Hey! Stop!" Head Xu hurriedly chased after him and said angrily, "What's your attitude, do you know who we are?"

Lu Qian didn't even look at him.

This old man is really good at talking, Lu Qian is not good at communicating, and he is afraid of people who can talk very much, and now another old man who has never seen him is here.

It felt like being surrounded by a hundred five brothers. His Highness was so nervous and wanted to escape quickly.

"If you don't show your hands, this kid won't take us two old men seriously." Old man Xu quickly walked in front of Shao Nian, blocked the way, and hit the ground twice with his walking stick.

Lu Qian felt the soles of his feet tremble twice and felt a little numb, but he didn't understand what kind of deep internal force this meant, and he still stared at Old Man Xu expressionlessly.

Old man Xu guessed that the boy hadn't learned proper kung fu, so he raised his crutches, pointed to a small tree beside him, and signaled the boy to take a look at it.

Lu Qian squinted at the tree, but found nothing unusual.

Old man Xu suddenly raised his crutches and pushed them out with one palm. With a loud noise, the tree was split in half from the middle, and the two sides were broken and bent like noodles!

The crutch flew back into the old man's palm, and the old man Xu turned around and looked at the boy arrogantly: "How is it?"

"What advice do you have, sir?" Lu Qian immediately confessed.

The old man Xu raised his head and said to him, "I want to ask about your wishes."

Lu Qian looked at him warily: "What?"

Old man Xu tapped the ground with his walking stick: "Do you want to learn Kung Fu from this old man?"

The Juggernaut rushed over to snatch the business: "Tell me first what kind of kung fu you want to learn. Do you usually like to use a heroic long sword, or a wooden stick used by beggars?"

This option description can be said to be very subjective.

Lu Qian was not confused by the multiple-choice questions, and asked the two old men, "Who are you?"

The two old men looked at each other and smiled, and old man Xu replied: "People from the Jianghu."

Lu Qian asked again: "Why do you live in a foreign tribe in the frontier fortress?"

The Juggernaut raised his eyebrows: "In order to get rid of the world."

Lu Qian couldn't understand why ordinary people want to get rid of the bustling capital and come to live in such a place where birds don't lay eggs.

Usually only fugitives need to get rid of the world, so His Highness asked the two old men vigilantly: "Have you broken the law?"

The Juggernaut smiled: "Well, people like us often violate the laws of the king, so the frontiers should be more at ease."

"What about you? Boy." Old man Xu asked the young man, "Why are you in exile at such a young age?"

His Highness was a little nervous in the face of two Jianghu people who claimed to "often violate the laws of the king".

Men generally can't lose their aura on such occasions, so Lu Qian narrowed his eyes and threatened the two old men with a gloomy expression: "Master is a wanted criminal."

The old men were taken aback: "Wanted criminal? What did you do?"

This question is of great significance. Lu Qian thought that he had to use a terrible crime to show his ferocity, so——

"Slaughter the city."

Lu Qian played the role of a murderous maniac with a cold expression, and asked calmly, "What about you? What happened?"

Both old men were dumbfounded.

Head Xu replied weakly: "We...we didn't serve corvee."

"I didn't hand in the land tax either." The sword master, who didn't know much about the king's law, came up with another crime to support the scene.

Lu Qian: "..."

There was an awkward silence.

Is escaping from corvee to the frontier fortress?Also chopping trees.

If His Highness hadn't been frightened, there was absolutely no way he could not have grasped the speed of bragging.

Angry, the murderous highness pulled up the truck and left!

The prince's appearance disrupted everyone's plans.

No one in the barracks knew about the prince's secret return to the palace.

The prince learned about the situation from Xue Yao, and in order to stabilize the overall situation, he only said that he and Lao Wu planned to attack the remnants of Khitan secretly, but they were captured by Khitan.

As the prince expected, when the governor of the Northwest saw the prince's appearance, he immediately drew a line with the Tong family.

The power of the prince is an orthodox force, as long as he is alive, the third prince will have no chance to fight for the heir.

The governor of the Northwest turned his butt back, and Tong Ningzhao was left with a lone army, who did not dare to act rashly.

The prince first went to the tent to visit his father.

It took a long time to identify, before he realized that the skinny old man on the couch was his father, the prince was heartbroken.

Hearing from the imperial doctor that the emperor had been sleeping all the time, the conditions in the barracks were difficult and his condition was difficult to improve, the crown prince immediately ordered to escort his father back to Beijing.

The third prince did not agree, saying that his father was seriously injured and could not stand the bumpy road.

The emperor stayed in the barracks and could only wait to die. As the imperial physician said, the emperor was not seriously injured. He was just poisoned by Khitan's arrow poison, and there was not enough antidote for treatment in the battlefield. He died on the way, so no one dared to propose it, and only the crown prince dared to take such a responsibility.

The prince ordered the governor of the Northwest to escort his troops, and Tong Ningzhao withdrew his troops back to Guangdong, leaving only the Imperial Army to confront the remnants of the Khitan.

But the third prince refused to hand over the military talisman, and insisted that his father did not order the withdrawal of troops, and withdrawal was tantamount to desertion.

The prince knew that it was useless to stay in the frontier now, and it would be impossible to change the hostages, because the Khitan prince did not know where to go.

The third prince said that it was the seventh prince who fled the battle and let the hostages go, disrupting the barracks.

In fact, the Khitan prince was not let go by the Seventh Prince.

It happened three nights ago.

The third prince planned to kill the Khitan prince, and then leaked the news to force the Khitan to kill the fifth prince and the crown prince, so as to prevent future troubles.

The fourth prince agreed with the third prince's conspiracy face to face, but after returning the account, he couldn't sleep.

Before dawn, the Khitan prince will die, and the fourth prince's mind is full of images of his eldest brother and fifth brother being beheaded and flogged by the Khitan people.

Because Concubine Xi asked the emperor back then, Yigui was on the list of escorts, so the mother and son of the fourth prince spent the past ten years in the palace with dignity, and there was no need to try to curry favor with the third prince, and the relationship with the brothers was decent. .

Although the eldest brother never gave the fourth prince a good face in front of the queen, he treated him well in private. Even the matter of being crowned king six years ago was mentioned to the emperor in private by the eldest brother. Otherwise, when the seventh prince became King Ning, he would The fourth child may not have a title yet.

Thinking of the elder brother's usual care, the fourth prince secretly got up in the middle of the night, went to the secret camp, and released the Khitan prince.

When they were released, the fourth prince asked the Khitan prince to hand over the prince and the fifth prince, and the Khitan prince swore to heaven in his half-baked Chinese.

The fourth prince can only choose to believe, otherwise, after dawn, the third brother kills the Khitan prince, and the elder brother and the fifth younger brother will have no way to survive.

However, three days after the Khitan prince left, there was still no news from the fifth brother, but the prince returned.

Now that the hostages are gone, the fifth prince cannot be returned, and the garrison cannot all evacuate.

The prince insisted that only the Imperial Army be left behind, and that the Northwest Army escort his father back to Beijing for treatment without any delay.

The third prince refused to agree, and said the words in his heart during the dispute - "Brother, you are no longer the prince."

The two brothers quarreled endlessly in the emperor's tent, and they miraculously woke up the emperor.

When the emperor coughed, everyone froze, and when the second cough came back, everyone turned to look at the emperor.

The prince rushed to the side of the couch: "Father!"

The emperor was a different person from the last time he was awake, his cheeks were sunken, his lips were dry and purple, and the poison had already penetrated into the five internal organs.

With gray eyes covered, he stared at the prince calmly for a long time, then murmured slowly: "Jin An is back...Okay, okay."

"Father... the son deserves to die..." The prince felt so much guilt in his heart that it was inconvenient to say it at this moment, so he could only hold back his father's hand with tears and knelt down.

The emperor's reaction was very slow, and it took him a long time to respond in a spirited way: "I'm guilty."

The prince looked at his father, and everyone around him thought that the emperor wanted to entrust his funeral.

The emperor stared at the void, and murmured like a babble: "I thought there was plenty of time to make up slowly...Jin An..."

The emperor's gray eyes fell back on the prince's face.

"My son is here!" The prince approached.

The emperor looked at his eldest son numbly for a long time, as if he wanted to see another person's shadow on his son's face.

He said: "Show me your smile. I kept seeing your mother crying in my dream. I haven't seen your mother laughing at me for a long time."

The prince was stunned for a moment, and then tried to squeeze out a smile that was uglier than crying, and comforted his father: "The mother misses my father, and my son will send my father back to the palace today."

The emperor didn't seem to hear what he said, and murmured blankly: "When she first gave birth to you, she was not so mean. I promised her at that time that the country is the first, and your mother and child are the second. Later, I broke my promise." , I have no face to see her, I know she has resentment in her heart, so I let her vent her anger on the concubine."

"Father has treated the empress mother and sons with great favor!" The crown prince felt guilty for complaining to his father since he was a child, and his father must have known about it.

The emperor said calmly: "I treat Concubine Xi best, and Lao Qi best, your mother knows."

The prince made excuses for his father: "The seventh brother is smart and lovely, and he deserves his father's favor."

"You don't blame me?"

The prince shook his head vigorously.

The emperor smiled: "Lao Qi is my favorite child."

The prince immediately nodded in agreement.

The emperor looked at him, became more serious than ever before, and told the prince word by word: "You are the child I am most proud of."

The tears that the prince was holding back finally burst: "Father!"

"You put too much emphasis on friendship. This is an advantage, but it is also the emperor's weakness." The emperor looked at him: "It is easy to be guessed and used by courtiers. Jin An, it is better to be a good minister than a wise king."
