Dressed as a villain, I was coveted by the male protagonist

"prince--"

Yin Zhi hurried to catch up with Xiao Jiugu. He got off his horse and strode up to Xiao Jiugu, and said slowly, "Why did the prince leave alone on his horse?"

Xiao Jiugu's expression was indifferent: "King Qin suffered a loss just now, if he doesn't leave, he might cause trouble."

Yin Zhi sighed after a while: "Prince, you have just arrived in Beishuo, and you have not yet established a firm foothold in Beishuo. It is too hasty to confront the King of Qin. The King of Qin will definitely not let it go after being so aggrieved."

"The prince will definitely be hindered by the King of Qin everywhere in Beishuo in the future. The prince should just keep a low profile and let the King of Qin relax his vigilance against you, so that it will be more convenient for you to do things in the future."

He knew that it would be better for him now to keep a low profile and bide his time, but to make the King of Qin relax his vigilance against him is not something that can be done overnight, it needs to be dormant slowly to hit him with one blow, which takes too much time. long.

His Highness is still in Nanjing, Xu Rongxuan's affection for His Highness has become more and more obvious, and that Lin Fengnian is also coveting his treasures.

He had to solve all the obstacles in Beishuo in a short time and return to His Highness as soon as possible.

"Even if I don't do anything, will King Qin give up on me? As long as Beishuo's heir remains, the knife will always hang on my head."

Xiao Jiugu's face was gloomy, and his deep eyes were fixed on the majestic and vast palace: "I want him to be anxious. The more anxious he is, the more movements he will make. The more movements, the bigger the loopholes. I will wait now. Let's see how the King of Qin will send the evidence of his own death step by step."

Yin Zhi frowned, as if he didn't agree with his idea: "Although this method is available, but you are treating yourself as a living target, Prince, and putting yourself in danger."

Xiao Jiu raised his eyes, glanced at him, and said lightly: "When I came to Beishuo, I was already in a dangerous situation. To overthrow Qin Wang's party, isn't that what you all hope for?"

Hearing this, Yin Zhi's expression froze, the words of worry came to his lips, and he couldn't speak anymore.

Although the prince is the king's child, he grew up in Nanjing and never received the slightest favor from Beishuo. The prince used to live a comfortable and stable life in Prince An's mansion, but now he has to live in fear when he returns to Beishuo.

Xiao Jiu noticed that Yin Zhi looked at him with complicated eyes, and frowned: "If I don't want to go back to Beishuo, none of you can force me back. I also have my own purpose in coming to Beishuo, not because of you guys. .”

"It's getting late, let's go to the palace."

Yin Zhi's eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded: "Yes."

A short and thin eunuch at the gate of the palace was walking back and forth anxiously, whispering in his mouth, "Why haven't you come back yet?"

"Your Majesty."

The eunuch suddenly raised his head, and quickly walked in front of the two: "Lord Yin, you are back, is this the prince?"

"Yes."

The prince hurriedly saluted: "Meet the prince!"

Wang Gonggong raised his eyes, looked Xiao Jiugu up and down in front of him, his eyes gleamed with water, and said intermittently: "Okay! Okay! I found it. Those eyes look like a queen. The queen has a spirit in the sky. You should feel at ease too.”

Yin Zhi looked around and found that there was only Wang Gonggong at the gate of the palace to greet him. Since he just returned to Beishuo, he had some doubts in his heart. According to the importance the king attached to the prince, he should have seen the king come out to greet the prince as soon as he arrived at the city gate.

But what was waiting was the Hongmen Banquet of King Qin's men and horses. Now when I go back to the palace, I only see the prince and father. Could it be that something happened to the king?

"Eunuch Wang, why is there no sign of the king? What happened when I was away from Beishuo?"

The prince said in a low voice: "Lord Yin, you don't know that the king of Qin has been acting more and more recklessly recently. A few days ago, Taifu Xu publicly wrote a letter to participate in the king of Qin in the court, but the king of Qin swung a knife in front of the king and spattered Taifu Xu's blood on the spot. gone."

Yin Zhi's face changed drastically immediately, and his lips parted slightly: "How could it be? Taifu Xu is not a person who can't hold his breath, why is he so impulsive?"

Eunuch Gao shook his head and sighed softly: "I heard that Taifu Xu's only daughter was insulted by Gao Hai, the subordinate of the King of Qin. On the same day, Taifu Xu went to the Palace of King Qin with a sword, intending to kill Gao Hai to avenge her daughter, but was prevaricated by King Qin. , and threw it out of Prince Qin's mansion."

"In the morning of the next day, Taifu Xu wrote a letter to participate in the Qin King, conniving his subordinates to act recklessly, and begged the king to severely punish the King of Qin and his subordinate Gao Hai. Unexpectedly, as soon as Xu Taifu finished speaking, he was beheaded by the King of Qin."

"It is said that Grand Tutor Xu has long held a grudge against him, and he came to the door with a sword in the face of no law that day. He didn't care about Taifu Xu, but now he is still talking nonsense and slandering him. He must be executed on the spot as an example to others."

"The king also broke down because of this incident. Now he is sick in bed. The prince should not blame the king for not going out to greet him. The king has intentions but lacks strength. Hearing the news that you are coming to Beishuo, the king insisted on getting out of bed to greet you. It is because the old man The slave stopped him."

Xiao Jiu looked at the slightly drooping eyelids, leaving a shadow under the long eyelashes, and fell into deep thought.

Taifu Xu's death was obviously caused by King Qin's design. Judging by Yin Zhi's reaction, Taifu Xu should be a very important figure in the Beishuo King's faction.

The king of Qin used Xu Taifu's daughter to provoke Xu Taifu to come to the door with a sword, and seized the reason that Xu Taifu had no law. It's also dead.

The King of Qin directly ignored the monarch, and openly beheaded the important ministers in the court, but no one was able to impeach him. It can be seen that King Qin's faction of King Beishuo could no longer suppress it, and the situation in Beishuo seemed to be more serious than he imagined.

"Prince, this is the king's bedroom. The king has been waiting for you for a long time, go in." Eunuch Gao pushed open the door and bowed.

As soon as Xiao Jiugu stepped into the palace, he smelled a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine. In order to prevent the cold wind from blowing into the palace, the doors and windows in the palace were closed tightly, leaving only two windows for ventilation. Swaying, the light in the hall flickered on and off.

A heart-piercing cough came from the inner hall, Xiao Jiugu walked slowly into the inner hall, and saw a sick and weak man lying on the wide dragon couch, holding a silk kerchief to cover his mouth Coughing, pale and haggard.

The man's slightly drooping amber broken golden eyes told Xiao Jiugu that the man in front of him was the king of Beishuo Kingdom, his father whom he had never met.

King Beishuo is only in his forties, but his long hair has been mixed with a lot of silver-white hair, and his forehead is covered with wrinkles, which does not seem to be old at this age.

The king of Beishuo noticed slight movement in the hall, and slowly raised his eyes. When he saw Xiao Jiugu standing in front of the bed, the pupils of amber and broken gold shrank, he clenched the silk handkerchief in his hand, and sat up with difficulty on his elbows.

The hoarse voice could not conceal his excitement: "You...you are Xiao Jiugu, my son!"

Xiao Jiu looked calm and nodded slightly: "En!"

King Beishuo stretched out a hand tremblingly, with a faded red string on his wrist, he approached slowly cautiously, wanting to touch Xiao Jiugu.

Xiao Jiugu pursed his lips tightly, took a step back, and avoided King Beishuo's hand.

King Beishuo looked at the lost hand, his eyes dimmed for a moment, he silently withdrew his arm, tears glistened in his eyes, and said in a gentle tone: "You have suffered all these years, it is father who is sorry for you, lost you, let you Suffering for so many years."

King Beishuo stared blankly at the red rope on his wrist, tears streaming from his eyes: "I'm also sorry for your queen mother, I promised to make her happy and worry-free for the rest of my life, all because of me."

"Your mother said that she didn't want to be trapped in a palace with no freedom. However, I was full of enthusiasm and came to the throne with the hope of making Beishuo prosperous and the people happy and healthy. Your mother had no choice but to follow along. I stayed in the palace, and finally got involved in that power struggle and lost my life innocently."

King Beishuo's lips moved slightly: "Have you ever blamed me? Yin Zhi said in the letter that you suffered a lot in the early years, but I was never by your side. I owe you."

Xiao Jiu heard that King Beishuo was full of debts, and there was no ripple in his eyes, so he shook his head: "No."

He was telling the truth. When he was young, he might have thought about why other people have the love of their parents, but he didn't. But as he grew up, he never thought about this problem again. At that time, he Every day I just think about how to live.

King Beishuo said softly: "Yin Zhi once mentioned in his letter that you didn't want to go back to Beishuo, but because of the complicated situation in Beishuo? Your father asked you to come back just to see you, not for anything else."

The king of Beishuo coughed a few times, and continued: "The court of Beishuo is now under the control of Qin Han. I was able to suppress him a few days ago, but later Qin Han used all kinds of despicable means to contain me in order to disintegrate my power. The person in hand."

"I can hardly suppress him now. If I keep you in Beishuo for my own sake, I will harm you. If you don't want to stay in Beishuo, then leave here."

King Beishuo reached out and pressed hard on the bedside of the dragon couch. It turned out that there was a hidden compartment at the headboard of the bed, and he took out a black token from the hidden compartment.

King Beishuo passed the black token in his hand to Xiao Jiugu: "This is the black feather token passed down by the kings of past dynasties. This black feather token can summon the black feather imperial army to protect the royal family."

"The dark guards in the Black Feather Forbidden Army are all people who need to be selected through layers of selection. They only obey the call of the royal family who hold the Black Feather Token. Father will leave the Black Feather Forbidden Army to you. They will protect you. Father The king is also at ease."

Xiao Jiugu took the Black Feather Token, and said in a deep voice: "I have my own purpose in going back to Beishuo, and I will not leave until I achieve my purpose. I accept this Black Feather Token, and I It may be necessary to use it, Qin Han, I will deal with it, you can rest assured and recuperate."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Jiugu turned around and was about to leave.

"Gu'er!"

The king of Beishuo hurriedly called to him: "Qin Han is very scheming, you are not his opponent, what do you want, my father will help you, don't hurt yourself, I have already lost your mother, please don't let me go!" making me lose you."

Su Jingning's figure flashed across Xiao Jiu's mind, his eyes flickered slightly: "You can't give me what I want, and I will get everything I want by myself."

King Beishuo looked at the back of him leaving, gently stroked the red rope on his wrist, and murmured: "Ying'er, our child has a temper very similar to yours, as long as one thing is confirmed, no one can stop it, don't worry , I will protect our child, whatever he wants to do, I will do my best to help him."
