The prince is very fierce

Xu Buling turned back from Jiang Rui's mansion. It was already late at night. He no longer cared about what would happen in the imperial city in the distance.

At this moment, Xu Buling suddenly understood why Grandpa Fubao was able to stir up chaos all over the world. It was really just that he had too many eyes.

Using the advantage of information asymmetry to tell the news to the most appropriate person at the most appropriate time is enough to stir up the entire situation with just a few words. It is also an upright conspiracy. The other party has to jump in even if they know it is a trap, because if they don't jump, they will Fall into a bigger pit.

The superior plots, the general kills with his troops, and the counselor kills with his mouth. This kind of pleasure of being a troublemaker is really addictive.

However, Xu Buling did have some luck in today's situation.

His original plan was to take the agarwood and kill Jiang Lin when he had the chance. He had no chance to kill Jiang Du, and he had no chance to kill Jiang Rui to frame Jiang Kai. Anyway, a trip to Beiqi would leave a big hidden danger for Beiqi that could not be quelled. .

I just didn't expect to bump into Jiang Duxiongqi. Without even moving his hands, he just relied on a fool to achieve the best result so far.

Having returned home with a full load, Xu Buling naturally had no interest in staying here and laughing at the dogs biting dogs. After returning to the inn, he took the four girls and left Guiyan City overnight, leaving Beiqi with a battle that was destined to hurt his muscles. Bone uproar...

The westernmost side of Northern Qi Dynasty, Black City.

Thousands of miles outside the city, the sand and snow blended together. Prince Zuo Jiang Ruo, wearing the armor he never took off except when sleeping, stood at the top of the city day after day, looking at the Suzhou City that he had watched for decades.

Although Jiang Nu's "old enemy" Xu You had already left to become the regent in Chang'an, Jiang Nu's habits have not changed. He has made an oath of "not breaking the armor of Suzhou" and there are no other people around. Enemy, he can't turn around and look at the many small tribes in the Western Region that have long since become insignificant.

"Report to Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something happened..."

While Jiang Ruo was looking at Qianli Shaxue in trance, anxious shouts suddenly came from below the city wall.

Jiang Ru frowned and looked around, only to see Chen Xuan, the chief counselor, running up from the steps, his face as white as paper and panicked.

"What kind of funeral has just celebrated the new year? King Su sent troops to destroy Yuanzhou?"

Chen Xuan rushed forward in a hurry, handed Jiang Rui the news that had been rushed from eight hundred miles away, and said urgently:

"The night before, Prince Jiang Du committed a treasonous act such as 'regicide and patricide' in Hanyuan Hall..."

"What?!!"

Jiang Du's whole body was shaken, which was even more incredible than hearing that Guiyan City was destroyed by the Xiliang Army. He grabbed Chen Xuan's collar and cursed angrily:

"That's nonsense. Jiang Du has just been crowned the crown prince. Why would he kill his father at this time? Have you kicked his brains out?"

Chen Xuan turned pale and said anxiously:

"It's absolutely true. The guards risked their lives to deliver the news. Jiang Du has been captured on the spot. Even the Imperial Master has been implicated. Guiyan City has been in chaos."

Jiang Du felt as if he was hit on the head by a thunderbolt from the blue, and his mind was shaken and dizzy. He thought for a moment and said angrily:

"Rui'er is in the capital, what did he do? Don't say that this bastard went to fight for the throne?!"

Naturally, Chen Xuan knew that there was no way to compete with him. This fight would end the Northern Qi Dynasty, and he would no longer be able to compete with Dayue. He slapped his knee and said angrily and helplessly:

"You can't fight without fighting. It is said that before the death of the Holy Emperor, he wrote a bloody edict and sent it out of the palace. He abolished Du Li and established Rui. It was obvious that he wanted to adopt the crown prince as his legitimate son and establish a new crown prince. After receiving the news, the crown prince rushed to the palace without stopping, but was stopped by the crown prince Jiang Kai. He was one step ahead and was detained by Jiang Kai. "

Jiang Ru was originally a little surprised, but when he heard the following words, he suddenly became angry:

"That bastard Jiang Kai, since there is an edict from the Holy One, why do you detain my son? Does he want to force the palace to usurp the throne?"

Chen Xuan shook his head and said: "The Crown Prince Jiang Kai got the news in advance from somewhere, and first attracted the courtiers and Zong clan to enter the imperial city. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went alone and was detained when he entered. Now, regardless of whether he will inherit the throne and inherit the throne, he will be alive. It’s always a problem when you come back.”

"presumptuous!"

Jiang Kai suddenly pulled out his sword and paced back and forth on the city wall:

"This Jiang Heng, this king is tolerant to him because of the Jiang family's plan to restore the country. He really thinks that I am afraid that he will fail and dare to detain my son..."

Chen Xuan was anxious and advised: "My lord, either fight now. As long as the army arrives at Guiyan City first, the situation can be saved. Or we can take a step back and make Jiang Kai the crown prince..."

"I support his uncle, why should I let him snatch the things that the Holy Father gave to my son? Send an order to the three armies to break camp and return to the side of King Qin Qing in Yancheng!"

"No! Beat the drum, beat the drum..."

dong dong dong

…

Inside Ningwu Pass, Taiyuan City.

The New Year has just passed, and the New Year atmosphere in Taiyuan City remains the same, with red lanterns hanging in front of every house.

The original Yamen of the Taiyuan Prefecture has now become the headquarters of the Eastern Route Army of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

In the meeting hall, the right prince Jiang Heng was sitting in front of the desk, frowning as he watched the troop movements of the Xiliang army, estimating the time it would take for the army to cross the river and attack the four kings in the east.

Before he had finished reading the secret letter, his staff member Zhou Chuan hurried in, his face full of surprise and horror, and his expression was very strange:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Jiang Heng put down the letter and saw Zhou Chuan looking happy and unhappy at the same time. He felt confused and said in a deep voice:

"What? Dongyue crossed the river and defeated the Xiliang army?"

Zhou Chuan didn't know what to say. After sorting out his thoughts, he said:

"Jiang Du killed his father in Hanyuan Hall the night before and was caught on the spot by our prince and court officials. Now in Guiyan City, it is the prince who is in charge of the overall situation. As expected, the crown prince of Da Qi must be His Highness the prince..."

snap

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Heng slapped the table:

"What is this mess? Jiang Dudu is already the crown prince, so why should he kill the king? Did that bastard Jiang Kai instigate it?"

Zhou Chuan quickly shook his head: "It was definitely not arranged by the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince just went to Guiyan City to hide from the limelight. He had no time to plan for just two days after arriving. According to the Crown Prince, Jiang Rui was the one who got in the way and even forged the Holy Emperor's 'Blood Edict'. I want to adopt Jiang Rui as my legitimate son and establish a new crown prince."

"Nonsense, how could the previous generation of heroes make such a mindless arrangement? Isn't this deliberately inciting the two kings to mutiny? Even if Jiang Du committed a major mistake of regicide, the Holy One would conceal the matter and not change the crown prince for the sake of the overall situation. , How could you act recklessly at this time?"

"Yes, that blood edict must have been forged by Jiang Rui. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has also detained Jiang Rui for a thorough investigation. With this arrest, Prince Zuo will definitely send troops back to Yancheng. If the prince does not go there now, not only the Crown Prince's life is hanging by a thread, but also my life Qi will also fall into the hands of rebellious officials and traitors."

Jiang Heng was furious, stood up, held it in for a moment, raised his hand and pointed at the map:

"How can I get there now? If I leave now, most of my hard work for a year will be wasted. How will I come back in the future?"

"The prince is fighting bloody battles on the front line, and Prince Zuo and his family are usurping the throne from behind. We can't turn a blind eye. Even if the throne is given away, Prince Zuo may not remember the prince's kindness. There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. How can a monarch tolerate a vassal that is evenly matched? Wang Chu is here, and the prince has detained Jiang Rui. This is a mortal enemy. He will definitely use the prince as a weapon in the future. "

"..."

Jiang Heng gritted his teeth, overturned the desk, and cursed angrily:

"These bastards, if the Holy Spirit were here, they wouldn't have the courage to do so. Send troops back to Yancheng immediately for reinforcements."

"yes."

…

"Exquisite!"

bang bang bang

At the foot of Yuelu Mountain, in a small village.

The old master with snow-white hair clapped his hands and looked at the chessboard in front of him, beaming with joy:

"I underestimated that kid and asked him to destroy the alliance between the two countries, but in the end he still had such a hand. To disrupt a country with the power of one person is really a stroke of genius. It's wonderful..."

Opposite the chessboard, the painting saint Xu Danqing stared at the messy chessboard, frowning and said:

"Teacher, I don't understand this game."

Mei Qusheng was playing with the brazier beside him and nodded:

"Yes, it is understandable that Xu Buling killed Jiang Lin and Jiang Du and provoked the two kings to seize the throne. But what method did he use to make Jiang Du kill his father and willingly resist this eternal infamy? ? Did you use sorcery to bewitch Jiang Du? "

The old master stroked his beard and said inscrutably:

"Xu Buling is a contemporary figure. His layout is far-reaching and his planning is so profound that ordinary people like you can't understand it. This plan must have taken advantage of people's hearts. Xu Buling discovered the flaws in Jiang Du's character in advance and hid his plans and guidance in secret. , until Jiang Du made a big mistake unknowingly, and was not aware of his ability to play with people's hearts and applause without showing off. "

Xu Danqing nodded doubtfully:

"My mentor has seen through it?"

"No."

The old master gave a rare smile: "It's because I can't see through it that I think it's clever. The strongest plan in the world is that it seems to have no plan at all, it is as natural as a coincidence. Xu Buling, this kid, has made rapid progress, which is intimidating. ah."

"..."

Emotions are nonsense...

Mei Qusheng was warming up the brazier, and instead of talking about such things that even an old master couldn't understand, he said:

"Then what should we do next?"

The old master swept the chessboard with his sleeve, swept all the chess pieces into the chess basket, shook his head and said:

"The world is broken into four pieces, leaving only one big dragon in the Xu family. It can end with its eyes closed. There is nothing left to do."

Mei Qusheng thought for a moment: "Zuo Qingqiu is the direct descendant of the ancestor. Even if he loses power in the court, he cannot admit defeat and just ignore it?"

"Zuo Qingqiu will not admit defeat, but the defeat is certain. Manpower cannot match destiny. It is destiny whether you allow it or not. Whoever stops him will die. Just wait and see what happens."

"oh……" --

Ten days later, Qiufeng Town.

At the end of the first lunar month and the beginning of February, the gentle spring breeze sweeps across the land, and the snow on the wasteland gradually melts, and thousands of trees bloom in spring, sprouting their buds intermittently.

There were lush grass on both sides of the dirt road. A small carriage passed through the town and stopped outside the closed tea shop.

Chen Sining and Zhu Manzhi were riding on horses, carrying packages on their shoulders, looking at the tea shop where they had stopped when they came, but they could hardly see the old woman who had been waiting day and night again.

Cui Xiaowan sat in the carriage, opened the curtain and looked at the various people outside. Her face had returned to its original color, as bright as a peach blossom.

The agarwood snatched from the imperial city had become Xu Buling's betrothal gift and was placed in Cui Xiawan's hand, tied with a red rope and a strand of black silk.

Xu Buring sat outside the carriage, holding a riding whip and looking at the girl next to him.

Xiao Taohua was wearing a small coat and sat beside Xu Buling. She looked at the tea shop next to her. She didn't know what she was thinking. Her expression was very complicated, as if she was pretending to be worried.

Xu Buling knew what Xiao Taohua was thinking. After thinking about it, he raised his hand and rubbed her head, and persuaded:

"Xiao Taohua, I will take you back to Dayue. There is nothing to stay in this place."

Little Taohua shook her head and said softly:

"I was born as a Jianghu person. Jianghu people value friendship. How can I be ungrateful to Qin, Mu and Chu. My elder brother is very good to me, but my master taught me business and taught me how to be a man. I cannot turn a blind eye to this kindness. Big brother, this is the farewell. We will see each other again in Jianghu. Bar."

"There is nothing good in the world. There is no future if you try to compete with your master. He can't even compete with me."

Xiao Taohua did not deny this, she just said:

"Master said that to create peace for the world, you don't necessarily have to create peace for yourself, as long as the goal of peace for the world is achieved. So whoever wins and loses among you is the same."

Xu Buling took a breath, but didn't know what to say. He could only say:

"It won't take long for the world to be peaceful. When the time comes, just don't run away with your master."

Little Taohua smiled, revealing two sweet dimples on her face:

"How could I run away? The Zuo family is not only the national master of Daqi, but also the most powerful martial artist in the world. Even if the master loses in major events in the world, I still have to fight for the first place in the world. When I succeed After leaving the mountain, I will go to my elder brother to retrieve the ancestral thunder weapon and restore the master's sect."

Xu Buling raised his eyebrows, took off the mace from behind and looked at it:

"It turns out that this thing is Zuo Zhexian's weapon. No wonder he is so cruel. But if you want to get it back, you will definitely have no chance. Just don't give away your master's one too."

When Xiao Taohua heard this, she was a little dissatisfied:

"That's not necessarily true. Master said that my talent is no worse than that of my elder brother. My elder brother still has so many women to take care of, which is harmful to his health."

"..."

Xu Buling was speechless and raised his hand to flick Little Peach Blossom's forehead:

"You're not old, but you know a lot. Go back and tell your master that as long as he really takes the world at heart, I don't mind letting Zuo Zhexian's lineage continue. I quite admire his son Zuo Zhan."

Xiao Taohua jumped off the carriage, ran to the door of the tea shop, stood under the eaves, and waved to Xu Buling:

"I will bring you the words. Goodbye, big brother."

"goodbye."

Xu Buling showed a bright smile, raised his whip lightly, and the carriage headed south in Qiufeng Town.

Zhu Manzhi was riding on the horse. He was born with a strong sense of love and righteousness. After spending a few days with the little Taohua who was very quaint, he felt a little reluctant to leave and waved his hand:

"Xiao Twelve, after the war is over, my sister will take you to the Central Plains to see the world. It's full of snow in the North, so it's not as fun as the Central Plains."

Little Taohua nodded: "I am from the Central Plains, and I will definitely go back."

Chen Sining admired Xiao Taohua's talent and smiled:

"Remember to practice martial arts well. Your target is me. From now on, we will compete for the number one female martial arts leader in the world, and I won't give in to you."

Zhu Manzhi nodded quickly: "Yes, we will see each other with admiration after three days of separation. From now on, the three of us will fight to the top of Tai Chi..."

Chen Sining blinked and said inexplicably:

"What, you came here to be a notary? Can you see the moves?"

"Hey, I can't compete with the female martial arts leader? My father is a real swordsman. Do you know that the tiger father has no dog daughter..."

Amid the commotion, the carriage gradually moved away.

Little Taohua stood on the terrace, watching several people leave, and did not regain consciousness for a long time.

After the figure disappeared into the wasteland at the end of the street, Xiao Taohua put away the smile on her face, showed a little loss, and whispered softly:

"Goodbye...it won't be long..."

Xiao Taohua lowered her head to look at the purse at her waist, stroking the silver ingot inside through the thin fabric, with a somewhat indescribable meaning in her spirited eyes.

Just like the wilderness covered with ice and snow all year round, after the spring breeze blows, the first buds unknowingly emerge... ——
