Accompany the prince to study

Probably the Empress's spirit in heaven, she really couldn't bear to see her son's insanity. She didn't bless the prince and let him get his wish.

On the evening of the sixth day of the military exercise in the autumn paddock, the third prince sent King Changle as an envoy to the vicinity of the prince's territory, and offered an invitation to form an alliance.

This is a meeting that is not strictly confidential. After all, the third prince is full of confidence. No one will reject a strong alliance. Even if the prince is an unpredictable mad dog, he will not push back the benefits he has obtained. .Even Emperor Wu felt that there would be no more suitable development than this. First, join forces to minimize losses and kill the weakest party, and then plan other.

The prince seemed to attach great importance to this negotiation, and sent a luxurious lineup of Wen Zhuan, Zhou Shubian, and Gu Qiao.

Zhou Shubian led the soldiers, and Wen Zhuan was in charge of protecting Gu Qiao.

Wen Zhuan can't do anything else, but his ability to escape at critical moments is very outstanding. He said to Gu Qiao, "The main reason is to not drag your cousin down in the future."

At the critical moment of the battlefield, Situ Rong has no time to care about others. At least Wen Zhuan can protect himself and prevent Situ Rong from being distracted.

Gu Qiao turned her head and sincerely wished: "You will grow old together." I promise!

Wen Zhuan worked very hard not to let himself laugh too smugly in front of his future brother-in-law. He knew that his strategy was right. He would be friends with his brother-in-law first, and then tell them the truth about their upcoming family. The brother-in-law would be very happy accept him.Get my brother-in-law done, that's half the battle.

Gu Qiao had to look at Wen Zhuan with sympathetic eyes. Even if the other party didn't say anything, he knew what Wen Zhuan was thinking. He couldn't pour cold water on him, but he still had to tell the truth.

"I'm just a cousin and brother-in-law. Do you know how many boys there are in Situ's family? Just, do you know that my cousin is the only girl in the family?"

The elder brother dotes on, the younger brother respects, and the only jewel in the palm of the hand is carefully cared for by father, uncle and grandpa.

Even if Wen Zhuan escaped death, it would not be so easy to embrace a beautiful woman.

"Will you help me?" Wen Zhuan has also heard about Situ's male son's "reputation". The biggest difference between the Situ family and the Zhou family is that the mighty and majestic men of the Situ family not only have outstanding skills, but also brains.

"If I don't embarrass you with them, it is the greatest friendship."

With the only family on one side and friends on the other, it is obvious what Gu Qiao will choose.

Wen Zhuan: "..." God is going to kill me!

The moon and stars are rare, and the deer and puckerel.In the middle of the night, there were dark shadows in the woods, and the prince's army rode on horseback, holding torches in their hands, maintaining a certain degree of vigilance.Although it is said to be a friendly negotiation with the third prince, there is no guarantee that this is not a cover.After a rustling sound, King Changle rode out on a tall black horse and led others, with the same vigilance on their faces.

The two armies confront each other at a relatively safe distance. It is not like a peace negotiation, but more like a fight here.

After a long silence, the king of Changle finally couldn't help laughing, he really thought it was just a game, but the princes and princesses of the old Wen family were always too tense.

King Changle no longer studies, but when he, the third prince and others were still in the Wenhua Hall, he had experienced too many similar things.No matter what kind of competition it is, even if it's just a small matter like the speed of drinking medicine, as long as Emperor Wu participates, every prince and princess will stand up for it and regard it as bigger than the sky.

From the perspective of an outsider like King Changle, it is... possible, but not necessary.

The king of Changle felt that the princes and princesses of the old Wen family were just a bunch of naive ghosts, no matter how old they looked, there was always a child who couldn't grow up because of unsatisfied childhood in his heart.

From this point to that point, King Changle felt that Wen Zhuan and others should have the same idea as him.

So he smiled easily: "Do we really need to be so serious?"

"No." Wen Zhuan shook his head, and followed what King Changle said.Among the people present, he was the only one who had an intersection with King Changle in the past. To be precise, he had a good "past" with almost everyone he could contact.Even if there is a gap between the prince and the prince, there are very few people who can't speak with gentleness.

This kind of long-sleeved dancing is almost a must-have skill for civil servants. Everyone is the kind of person who is friendly on the face and stabs the knife behind the back.

Zhou Shubian has been unable to understand.

Gu Qiao adapted well, and even got a further evolution.His painful past helped him establish a harmless image in many people's hearts. Wen Zhuan was only able to chat with others, but when it came to Gu Qiao, almost no one would hate him after he worked hard on the strategy. his.

Gu Qiao believes in this sentence more and more. It is because of those bad pasts that can't be worse that he has made him what he is today.

"I brought goat's milk wine. If you are interested, we can even sit down and have a few glasses." Gu Qiao carried this with him, obviously to meet the prince's needs.

"Gu Qiao? Should I say it's an honor?" Changle King is not a silly white sweet in the traditional sense. After getting in touch with him, you will find that he is more like a sunny and bright man. Combined with his life experience, it is really rare to develop such a character. , It is enough to see that the Queen Mother has devoted herself to educating King Changle. She is really trying to cultivate him into an excellent person. "His Royal Highness actually sent the three of you to contact me."

The crown prince's preference for Gu Qiao is undisguised, and Gu Qiao always bears a very distinct imprint of the crown prince.

Although such a mark would indeed bring some trouble to Gu Qiao, similar to how the first prince wanted to deal with the prince before, he would definitely think of taking Gu Qiao first.But at the same time, this is also an obvious protection. As long as others can't kill Gu Qiao with one blow, they have to think carefully. Hurting Gu Qiao is equivalent to starting a war with the prince. Is it worth it?

When Gu Qiao first entered the court, she was able to live like a fish in water, and it was absolutely inseparable from the prince's protection.

Zhou Shubian really didn't have the patience to accompany the three here to fight the game: "Can we hurry up and get down to business? Don't whine like a bitch!!"

"The fifth princess will be happy to discuss this wonderful metaphor with you." Wen Zhuan replied.

Uncle Zhou choked for a moment and became dumb for a moment, not daring to compare blindly.

"Young master on Wednesday is a cheerful person, I like it." Changle Wang smiled even more heartily.Suddenly there was a gust of evening wind, which blew the ends of Gu Qiao's hair and the blue silk hairband on the back of King Changle's head.It was given to King Changle by the third prince, one for his birthday every year, King Changle cherishes it very much, "Let's get straight to the point, should we form an alliance?"

"Third Highness means that the emperor concubines have really worked hard these days, why don't we send them off early so that they can go back to have a good rest. After the battlefield is cleaned up, we will each rely on our own abilities."

This kind of alliance is different from the direct totem merger like the Sixth Prince's. It just joins forces to kill one party first, and then act according to the gentleman's agreement.

"We attack from the left and the right, and we don't interfere with each other. Everyone can rest assured."

"Finally, with the central line as the boundary, the two armies will fight again."

To put it in a very inappropriate way, that was the relationship between Taizu and the King of the East China Sea back then.It's just that in the end it was the King of the East China Sea who surrendered the Taizu, so that the protracted misery of life did not continue.

"Is there anything you don't like about this?"

King Changle is really not such a good negotiator, he laid out the bottom line from the very beginning, and he didn't go through the process of asking for a lot of money and paying back the money.Of course, the sincerity shown in this way is enough.No one needs to do anything hypocritically, the conditions have been laid out neatly, accept it and it's over.

pity……

"Your conditions are really good," said Wen Zhuan, "If we can make the decision, we will nod and agree immediately without any hesitation."

King Changle understood as soon as he heard this, and took the initiative to answer: "But?"

"But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not agree to form an alliance." Both Gu Qiao and Wen Zhuan had a headache. They had already persuaded the Crown Prince before they came, but unfortunately, it was useless for anyone to speak. The sixth prince lost his temper for the first time, and completely reconciled with the Crown Prince. wrestle together.

The result is still the same.

The prince has made up his mind and insists on going his own way, he just wants to hit two with one!

The appearance of Gu Qiao, Wen Zhuan and others was just to send a signal that they also respect the third prince, respect, but not cooperate.

King Changle was really not prepared for such a development. A question mark on his forehead was not enough to express his heart at that moment: "???"

What is the prince thinking?

No one knew what the crown prince was thinking, he just gave Zhou Shubian a secret mission to take as many heads as possible around King Changle on the spot, which was all points!

It was also to prevent Wen Zhuan and Gu Qiao from having any chance to repent.

The situation was reversed in an instant, and the originally peaceful scene, with Zhou Shubian's order, revealed a ferocious face.It was too late for King Changle to escape now, he could only accept his fate.When he closed his eyes and waited for the "death" sentence, he was still in the mood to reflect on his mentality of taking this matter too much, which was indeed not correct.

The crown prince, the third prince and others couldn't be more serious about fighting the war. He was careless and no one else.

However, the knife dyed with special paint raised by Zhou Shubian did not wipe it at King Changle in the end.

"When the two armies are at war, don't behead them." They will still abide by this kind of rule. Zhou Shubian followed the prince's order and asked Gu Qiao to come forward and say such words to King Changle. Gu Qiao was also going to let King Changle go. .

The King of Changle was once again stunned by these twists and turns. He could only say that although accidents continued, this was indeed a series of operations that the prince's unpredictable psychopath would do.

When he was sent away by Gu Qiao, the King of Changle even asked Gu Qiao directly: "Aren't you afraid that I will kidnap you and send you back to the palace to rest?" It is said that Gu Qiao is only a 12-year-old child, if he really moves his mind, no one can stop him.

"Your Highness said that he can turn his face as soon as he says it, but you won't, because you are not that kind of person." The crown prince definitely didn't say this, it was Gu Qiao who made it up.

But sure enough, these words made King Changle happy again after losing so many people.

He said that Anbang was just hard-spoken and soft-hearted.

It was also the experience of growing up beside the queen mother that made the third prince extremely hostile to the prince, but King Changle always unconsciously treated the prince as a child to accommodate him.Because the queen mother never leaves the prince, the grandson she is most proud of has the temperament that is most in line with the Tian family, and also has a cute and awkward personality.

King Changle would never say that at a certain moment, he really had the desire to "kill" Gu Qiao.

It's just that after Gu Qiao's analysis of the prince's words, how could he have the heart not to be the majestic him in the prince's mind?

Gu Qiao escorted the king of Changle who was alone all the way, and soon reached the border of the third prince's sphere of influence. Gu Qiao bowed his hand to the king of Changle: "The rest of the road can only be walked by yourself, it should be very easy. Safety."

There are Zhou Shubian and others far behind Gu Qiao, and you can vaguely see those figures as tall as guardian gods.

"You came here to see me off, do you have anything to say?" King Changle did not leave in a hurry.

This is the reason why the prince ordered to "kill" all the people around King Changle, and asked Gu Qiao to escort King Changle back.There is no rule of not beheading, the prince is not that particular about people, he only knows that the winner is the king and the loser.The reason why he gave up not wanting the points from Changle King for the time being was because Gu Qiao said that he hoped to have a chance to have a private talk with Changle King as soon as possible.

King Changle couldn't imagine how crazy the prince was, but he could at least see why Gu Qiao was alone with him.

"Sure enough, I still haven't hidden it from His Highness's eyes." Gu Qiao is just a prince, and Changle King has been crowned king since he was born and came to Beijing as a hostage. He enjoys the same treatment as a prince. Gu Qiao treats Changle King as much as possible. Respectfully, "His Royal Highness is poisoned, do you know?"

"I must know." No one would not know that the crown prince was poisoned, "I can guarantee with my personality that His Highness or the Donghai Palace has absolutely nothing to do with this matter. Although my guarantee is very weak, but..."

"I believe in you, and His Royal Highness also believes in you." Gu Qiao interrupted King Changle, and the third prince behind King Changle was about to arrive. Because there are still some secrets that we have concealed, even His Majesty does not know, but I think you should know."

Naturally, there was no secret, Gu Qiao just used this incident to rationalize his behavior.

"What?" King Changle's heart skipped a beat, he had a very bad premonition.

"The other party's target seems to be more than the prince alone." Gu Qiao said.

"Then who else is there?!" King Changle opened his eyes wide, and the ominous feeling came true. "Is it the Huguo? Someone wants to harm the Huguo?"

"Guoguo" is the nickname of the third prince. Emperor Wu is really not a father who is very good at giving nicknames to his children.

"Third Prince, or you, no one can say for sure." Gu Qiao didn't say anything dead, "I just want you to pay more attention to it. It may not be true, but you should know it."

There is such a force that wants to work against you.

"Thank you!" Changle King nodded to Gu Qiao, "This is really important to us, thank you for your kindness, in the future..."

"It's the best reward for me that you and the Third Highness can be safe." Gu Qiao wasn't making concessions, or retreating to advance, he was really stating a fact.

Because after Gu Qiao carefully recalled the whole process of his cousin Situ Rong's revenge for Wen Zhuan's death in the script, he discovered the source of everything.

In other words, he deduced the source of everything.

——The death of King Changle.

With the setting of a king with a different surname like King Donghai, it is impossible for him to have no name in various stories.It is bound to become a serious problem for the protagonist and his party, an indispensable battle.In "The Female General", the King of the East China Sea did the same.In the end, Situ Rong won the King of the East China Sea by passing five levels and killing six generals, but he also paid a big price.

Situ Rong broke into the palace before King Donghai committed suicide, and asked what the old man was doing all this for. If he had ambitions, he should have done it earlier, and there was no need to stay dormant until now.

"Of course it's for my grandson, what else could it be for?"

The king of the East China Sea endured all his life, and as a show of loyalty, he even sent his only grandson to the capital as a hostage.He knew that he had a good life in Beijing, and he was also happy.

But suddenly one day, such a good grandson of his died for no apparent reason. Who could endure it?

Anyway, the king of the East China Sea can't do it.

The death of King Changle seems to have nothing to do with Situ Rong's revenge for Wen Zhuan.

But these two stories happened one after another, and they were too close together.

What Situ Rong said to the King of the East China Sea at the end of the battlefield also made Gu Qiao feel that there was a lot of content in it, she said: "You are right to avenge your important person, and it is not wrong for me to avenge my most important person. "

King Changle couldn't be the one who framed Wen Zhuan, because he was really dead, and no one would make such a big effort to frame others.

Reminiscent of the people behind the scenes wanting to use the death of the ten princes to touch Prince Ci, Gu Qiao came up with a bolder idea. Could the other party continue to touch Prince Ci with the death of King Changle in the script? ?Even if you can't kill the prince, you can get rid of the most beneficial people around the prince.

In the memories of the story book, King Changle and Wen Zhuan almost died in tandem.

In other words, when the real culprit behind the scenes cannot be found, what Gu Qiao can take the initiative to do is to save King Changle's life first.

This is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone. If King Changle is saved, King Donghai will not rebel, and maybe Wen Zhuan's life can be saved logically.

The reason why Gu Qiao didn't say with certainty that the other party's key target was Changle King was because Gu Qiao considered the relationship between the third prince and Changle King, and it was really hard to say whether the death of Changle King in this book was because he was the target, or was he the target? He blocked the disaster for the third prince.In short, no one will die in this life.

With the heavy news dropped by Gu Qiao, the third prince didn't have time to worry about the prince's crazy rejection of him.Although he was dubious about the fact that someone was going to kill him or King Changle, he would rather believe it or not.

The crown prince is annoying, but he doesn't have to lie about it to amuse them.

"You follow me for the time being," the third prince said kingly to Changle, then turned around and sent his seventh buddhist brother to contact the princesses, "Since the crown prince wants to pick two, let me, the elder brother Give him a valuable lesson in his smooth sailing life."

On the morning of the seventh day, the new situation of the alliance between the princesses and the three princes was updated to Emperor Wu's sand table.

Emperor Wu was shocked.

But what is even more amazing is that the one who took the initiative to attack first was the relatively weaker prince side at present.

After Master Su and others came in to pay attention to the battle situation, they were all frightened and sweated for the prince. No one thought that the prince would play so crazy.Although it won't be really dead, but the prince played cards so unreasonably, it really makes people wonder what he is planning?Just for excitement?Are you really not afraid of overturning?

On the eighth day, on the territory of the fourth princess, the two parties had a brief confrontation.

There became the newest front line.

The third prince was not a vegetarian either. He reacted in time and dispatched his most trusted companion to lead a small team to use the second princess's territory to directly insert back into the fourth princess's territory and provide strong reinforcements.Along the way, the remnants of the defeated Princess Army were gradually incorporated, forming a growing force.

They finally stationed in front of a small bamboo forest on the territory of the fourth princess, trying to stop the prince's army from advancing.

On the right side of the prince's army, there is another cavalry led by the fourth prince's son-in-law, and they are also constantly approaching.The son-in-law of the eldest princess on the left has also gotten rid of Zhou Shubian's restraint, and their next step is obvious, rushing to help the fourth princess.

In other words, the prince's army is almost about to be dumped.

Accompanied by the third prince, they are constantly attracting at the bamboo forest, and the elite troops hooking the prince spend time here. Once they merge, the consequences will be disastrous.

"The prince will pay the price for his arrogance!" The second princess was very happy, she and the second prince said this.

The second prince, the vase puppet, has always been very qualified. He flatters his sisters when he should be crazy, and quiet when he should be quiet. Everyone thinks he is very incompetent and useless. It can be said that he is the person with the lowest risk value in the audience. .But occasionally he would put forward one or two effective suggestions, which made the second princess feel that it was the right choice to keep him.

The reason why the princesses kept the second prince was not that Emperor Wu guessed that they thought they should find a man to be their coach, but that the second prince was eloquent and worked hard to save his own life.

It is impossible for every prince and princess to be truly incompetent.

At this moment, the second prince raised another matter to the second princess: "Will the prince be so easily fooled?"

Although the prince's arrogance is very irritating, it must be admitted objectively that the prince has other reasons for his madness. Every time the prince does something inconceivable to others, but the result is often that the prince wins.

"Even I know the reason why the poor don't chase after you." The second prince seemed to mention it casually.

But the second princess fell into deep thought.

That's right, such a strong prince, so easy to be fooled, really gave her an incredible feeling.Moreover, today is only the eighth day, and the hunt will last for a full fifteen days, of which the military exercise takes up twelve days, and there are still four days left. Can it really end so early?

"Could it be possible that the prince has some way to turn around?" The eldest princess frowned.

"I heard from Xiao Wu..." The sixth princess covered her mouth. She had the best relationship with the fifth princess. Although they were not in the same camp this time, they actually had some contact in private.

"What? Say it!" The second princess glared at the sixth princess.

"It is said that the third brother was looking for an alliance at the beginning, not us, but the prince. Only when the prince refused, the third brother turned to us." The sixth princess said, "It's not a secret, you can find out after a little inquiry. The third brother didn't think the prince would refuse at the time, so he didn't keep it secret."

Then the question arises, why did the prince refuse?

Anyway, the second princess doesn't believe that someone is so crazy that she makes the game more difficult for herself.

"This can't be a false rejection, is it a real routine?" The eldest princess put forward a bold idea.

The princesses didn't want to suspect the third prince as an ally, but, after all, the third prince and the crown prince were men, they were women, and in terms of gender, they were somewhat hostile to these two brothers.Think about it in your own shoes, if there are three parties, two of which are women and one is a man, they will definitely choose to form an alliance with the women first and kill the men.

"So, this is actually a show that the crown prince and the third brother joined forces to play for us?" The sixth princess opened her eyes wide, thinking that these brothers are really bad!

"I don't think it's unreasonable." The second prince spoke again at the right time, guiding the princesses further and further.

***

"Second brother is also yours? When did it happen?" The sixth prince looked at the prince in shock. He only knew the news, and he couldn't believe it.

No one could believe it except Gu Qiao.

Because Gu Qiao was responsible for the contact, when he left the prince, he not only went to find the sixth prince, but also went to the second prince.It was Gu Qiao who first discovered it when he was the prince. The second prince usually looks inconspicuous, but he is actually a wimp.

It was also Gu Qiao who recommended the second prince to the prince.

"He has been from the beginning." The sixth prince is an ally on the surface, while the second prince is a private ally.However, when the second prince was arranged, the prince's original intention was to deal with the first prince.I didn't expect the First Prince to be so stupid and so useless, and he was eliminated early.The second prince continued to lurk and linger among the princesses.

This is the reason why the prince did not agree to form an alliance with the third prince, he was already with the second prince.With the second prince acting as a hindrance, the princesses and the third prince will fight sooner or later.

It is the third prince who is really going to be besieged!
