Chapter 91 Chapter Thirty-One

Chapter 31: King Qi's Means In a soft sedan chair, King Qi was carried slowly towards the Yulin Palace where the prince lived. Li Xian was now trapped by drugs. Although he could barely move, he couldn't walk so far. The Xuanhua Garden is on the west side, and there are several miles between the two. Naturally, they can only go there by sedan chair. The four warriors carrying the sedan chair are the bodyguards of King Qi's cronies. Even Princess Qi can't order them casually. Qin Zheng Lead the way with two maids. The group arrived at the Jade Lin Hall, where the defenses were very tight. Xiao Lan heard that King Qi had arrived and came out to greet her in person. She was also dressed in a strong outfit. When she saw Li Xian who was helped out of the sedan chair by Qin Zheng, she stepped forward and saluted: " His Highness must be extremely pleased with Sixth Uncle's visit."

Li Xian said coldly: "Li Xian is just a prisoner of the noble family now, how dare he be your gift." A trace of embarrassment appeared on Xiao Lan's face, but she immediately smiled and said, "Uncle Six, we are at fault for this matter, please forgive me, Your Highness is waiting inside." When Li Xian walked into the hall, he saw Li An standing with his hands behind his back in the hall, and the young crown prince Fu Lu Jingzhong was standing beside him. As soon as he saw Li Xian, Li An kindly stepped forward to hold Li Xian's hand and said, "Sixth brother, can you Here you come, this time you must help Brother Wei, you know that now Brother has reached the center of the river, and there is no turning back, either enthroned as emperor, or imprisoned to death. Brother and sister are also rebellious, If you are not willing to do your best, then if you fail unfortunately for your brother, you will not be able to get rid of the responsibility."

Li Xian said calmly: "Little brother knows the current situation, but hasn't the crown prince already ordered to recruit the Qin family's army?" Li An was slightly taken aback, and said embarrassingly: "After all, the Qin family's army is not my direct descendant. If something unexpected happens, it will be difficult to control. If your army comes, the sixth brother, your brother's throne will be as stable as Mount Tai." Li Xian said with a smile that was not a smile: "In that case, please ask the prince to cure the poison on my body, how about letting me go to the army."

As soon as these words were uttered, Li An was immediately speechless. He looked at Xiao Lan with a somewhat embarrassed expression. At this moment, Lu Jingzhong said: "His Royal Highness King Yong is still at large. Dangerous, if something happens, wouldn’t the prince worry about it, it’s better to be here, as long as His Highness writes a letter, let His Highness’s army rush to the palace, I don’t know if His Highness is willing to work for the Crown Prince.” Li Xian said coldly: "Who doesn't know that King Yong's army is watching like a tiger, if my army is mobilized, I'm afraid it will alarm them. Isn't Young Fu worried that it will be self-defeating?"

Lu Jingzhong said with a smile: "King Yong's guards are stubborn. Although the crown prince has already sent people to chase and kill King Yong, the Qin family army will go to encircle and suppress him soon, but if it is unfortunate that King Yong joins his army, it will inevitably make the battle worse. It's complicated, that's why the crown prince hopes that His Highness will send troops to wipe out King Yong's army. His Highness's army is similar in strength and elite level to King Yong's army. I believe His Highness will be able to win the battle. Even if His Highness can't win for the time being, the Crown Prince has ordered Qin After the army captured and killed King Yong, they took the head of King Yong to help His Highness's troops put down the rebellion. At that time, His Highness will be King Qin's greatest hero, and the crown prince will definitely reward him heavily."

Li Xian took a deep look at Lu Jingzhong, thinking that this man is really vicious, and he actually asked him to annihilate King Yong's guards. Even if he succeeded by luck, the casualties would be heavy, and most of King Yong and his army would be killed. At the border, the Qin army guarding Gyeonggi is only loyal to the royal family. As long as they control the father, they can guarantee that Li An will ascend to the throne of God.But Li Xian didn't reveal this person's vicious intentions, but said coldly: "Okay, I want to write a book to mobilize the army, but His Royal Highness wants to agree to a few conditions."

Li An was overjoyed and said, "Sixth Brother, just talk about it." Li Xian said coldly: "First, no matter how much we fight for the throne, the disaster is not as good as my wife and children. I don't care about the life or death of the second brother, but the second sister-in-law and nephew will not allow you to do anything wrong." Li An frowned slightly and said: "Cut the grass but not the root, the sixth brother is too soft-hearted. If the second child wins, our wife and children will only have a dead end." Li Xian remained silent, Lu Jingzhong gave him a wink, Li An could only reluctantly say: "It's up to you."

Li Xian smiled slightly and said: "The second condition, if you succeed the emperor, brother, you can't depose the emperor's wife and son because of the merits of Fengyi Sect." Li An said bluntly: "There is no problem with this, Gu also thinks so." Li Xian said indifferently: "The third condition, I know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was quite dissatisfied with his younger brother in the past, so I ask His Highness not to settle accounts after autumn." Li An embarrassedly said: "How could it be? Sixth Brother, you helped Gu obtain the throne. Gu will definitely not repay your kindness."

Li Xian nodded and said: "There is one more small condition. Now that I am trapped by drugs, it is difficult to even get out of bed. Let me get rid of the poison first." Li An glanced at Xiao Lan, Xiao Lan hesitated for a moment and said: "The concubine only has the antidote that can temporarily allow the prince to move freely. If you want to recover your martial arts, I'm afraid you have to wait until the master arrives." Li An looked at King Qi, worried that he would turn against him because of this, but Li Xian just said indifferently: "This king is just lying on the bed and bored, and I was not in a hurry to recover martial arts."

Xiao Lan looked relieved, took out a pill and handed it to Li Xian, Li Xian took the pill and took it, after a while, feeling his physical strength gradually recovering, he went to the desk, wrote a letter, Then he turned and left. Walking on the royal road, Li Xian looked relaxed and at ease, as if he had nothing else on his mind, and he no longer sat in a sedan chair, but walked to Xuanhuayuan in a leisurely manner.Seeing him happy, Qin Zheng was also very happy, so he walked slowly with him. As a result, no one noticed that the warriors carrying the sedan chair slowed down, and diverted to approach Hanxiang Garden. The place was already very deserted, and there were not many guards guarding it. The four of them chose a hidden place and moved the sedan chair After hiding it, he jumped into Hanxiang Garden.After entering, one person stood guard outside, and the three entered Hanxiang Garden, and looked around lightly. Finally, the person who inspected the princess' bedroom made a gesture, and the other two flew over immediately, and one of them gently pushed the hall away. The door, and then immediately dodge it.

Dong Que in the hall was shocked when he heard the sound, and when he looked back, two warriors had already entered the hall.Dong Que was in a bad mood, could it be that Xiahou Yuanfeng still informed him, but if so, how come only two warriors came.He didn't dare to make a sound, and he didn't care about the unconscious Jiang Zhe, so he drew his sword and rushed towards the two warriors. Those two warriors were first-class masters, and they drew their swords to fight back at the same time. At the place where the three of them were fighting, they reached the bedside and looked down at Jiang Zhe's face. After a while, he raised his head and made a gesture.The expressions of the two warriors lifted, and their saber skills became more fierce.Another warrior said in a low voice: "We are the subordinates of King Qi. No matter what your status is in Prince Yong's mansion, you should know that His Highness King Qi has never had any ill intentions towards Lord Jiang. Now that you are in a dangerous situation, why don't you temporarily take care of His Highness?" Dong Que's expression changed, and his swordsmanship became even more chaotic. Seeing this, the two warriors stopped and did not attack, just to be wary of Dong Que's attack.Dong Que also stopped, and looked towards the bed. Although the warrior spoke kindly, but seeing him standing beside Jiang Zhe with his hand on the handle of the knife, Dong Que knew that there was no room for resistance, but he knew his identity very well. It's not easy to see the light, meeting the king of Qi is harmful but not beneficial, after thinking for a while, he suddenly turned around and rushed out of the bedroom, those warriors were stunned, they didn't expect him to abandon his master and run away.When the two warriors chased out the door, Dong Que, who was brilliant at lightness kung fu, had already disappeared without a trace.The three of them discussed that no matter what Dong Que did, he would not inform him. Anyway, Jiang Zhe had already got it, so it was better to go back soon. They took the unconscious Jiang Zhe outside, hid him in a sedan chair, and then carried the sedan chair back to Xuanhuayuan as if nothing had happened. No one paid attention to their actions along the way. Back in Xuanhuayuan, they hid Jiang Zhe in the side hall according to King Qi's order, and then a warrior went to report to King Qi.Qin Zheng had already returned to Xiaoshuang Hall, so there were only two maids of Princess Qi in the room, and because of King Qi's cooperative attitude, he did not dare to disobey orders, and was driven outside by King Qi. After the warrior reported in a low voice, Li Xian frowned slightly. Although he was trapped, he still had good news. Not only did Qin Zheng tell him some news, but he also had a few cronies in the imperial army, so he naturally knew that King Yong had broken through. , Princess Changle's mediation and Wei Ying's search of Hanxiangyuan.So in his judgment, Jiang Zhe was probably hiding in Hanxiangyuan, so he took the opportunity of meeting the prince to ask his men to search Hanxiangyuan.But the situation is too weird now, how could Jiang Zhe's guards escape, there are problems with emotion and reason. He was thinking about it, but the warrior said in a low voice: "My lord, Mr. Jiang is dying. If he doesn't give treatment, his life may be in danger." Li Xian was startled, and said: "Let the imperial physician diagnose and treat Jiang Zhe, remember, be careful, don't let the princess know about it." Li Xian came here this time nominally because he was ill, so he specially brought an imperial doctor here, who is now in the side hall, just in time.The imperial doctor was very distressed at the moment, he was not a party of the prince, and now he was in such a predicament, if the situation changed, he might become a rebel, but he did not dare to disobey King Qi's order.After entering the side hall, he was shocked when he saw Jiang Zhe. When Jiang Zhe was assassinated, he was also one of the imperial doctors who went to treat him. Naturally, he recognized King Yong's cronies and staff.The scene in front of him made him confused, Qi Wang is clearly a party of the prince, how could he secretly hide the staff of Yong Wang.But he knew that it was better for him to pretend to be deaf and dumb about this kind of thing.When he stepped forward to check his pulse, his brows were tightly furrowed, and he said: "This lord was originally ill, did you cultivate well, but now his heart pulse is extremely weak, if he doesn't treat it properly, he may not survive tonight, I will prescribe a Fang Zi, use ginseng juice to prescribe medicine, and cultivate well, it can still be cured." Those warriors were overjoyed, and said: "Physician Qiao, you must treat this person well, if there is something wrong with this person, the prince will never let you go. "Qiao imperial physician repeatedly promised that he brought a complete set of medicines this time. Sure enough, after taking several medicines, Jiang Zhe's complexion gradually became rosy, his breath became thicker, and his expression was very peaceful.Doctor Qiao wiped his sweat and said, "It's all right at last, but your body is too weak and needs to be recuperated." The two warriors looked at each other, they had also heard that this confidant of King Yong was extremely weak, and His own master also admired him very much, but he never thought that he was such a frail scholar who seemed to die at any moment. After a night without incident, Jiang Zhe finally opened his eyes when it was nearly dawn.They hurriedly went to report to Qi Wang Li Xian. Feeling someone calling my name, I opened my eyes with difficulty. In fact, when I fainted last time, I doubted whether I could wake up. Although I was weak at the moment, I still thanked God. Shouted in a low voice: "Dong Que, Dong Que." A voice came from next to my ear: "Suiyun, you're awake." I was shocked, the voice was very familiar, but it was definitely not Dong Que. I turned my head and saw King Qi hurried in. I subconsciously looked around, and said with a wry smile: "It turns out that Zhe has become a prisoner , but I don’t know how to be here with the prince?” Li Xian gave a wry smile, sat on the chair in front of the bed, and said, "Seeing you today is like a lifetime away. I think Suiyun has already planned a strategy, and the second brother has already secured the victory." I tried to sit up with difficulty, but my limbs were weak and I couldn't do so. King Qi hurriedly stepped forward to help me, so I sat up and asked, "What time is it now?" Li Xian said indifferently: "Today is already the 22nd of September, and it will be the hour of Chen soon." I breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that King Qin's soldiers will arrive soon, I hope King Yong is safe and sound, and said calmly: "I don't know why I am here, where are the guards beside me?" Li Xian said with a smile: "Yesterday I sent someone to Hanxiang Garden, and I found you. Now, no one knows that you are here except this king and a few confidantes. Your guard is also strange. Seeing you fall into my In the hands of his subordinates, he escaped." I breathed a sigh of relief, if Dong Que met King Qi, relying on King Qi's extraordinary intuition, I'm afraid there would be a danger of his identity being leaked. Li Xian said with some regret: "Suiyun, you have worked so hard for your second brother. If it wasn't for my king's people to pick you up immediately, you might have died. Why did you come here? If you followed this king that day, why did you come here?" I smiled lightly and said: "Zhe has received the great kindness of His Royal Highness King Yong, if you don't try your best at this time, you will not live up to the great kindness of King Yong." Li Xian showed hesitation on his face and said: "I am confident that if you are willing to submit to me, I will treat you no worse than my second brother." I couldn't help but think of the day when I was pressing every step of the way, but King Yong finally showed mercy and let me go. It was like yesterday. For a moment, I said: "Your Highness is straightforward and talented, and Zhe is also very admired. Unfortunately, Your Highness I took a wrong step at the beginning, and now I am in a dilemma, but it is useless to talk about the past, so I don’t know if His Highness made a mistake this time?" Li Xian smiled wryly: "I agreed to their request last night and wrote a warrant to my subordinates." I was slightly taken aback and said: "Your Highness should know that His Highness's troops don't need much strength now?" Li Xian sighed and said, "My actual order is to tell them not to move. They won't do anything. As for who can win, it's up to them." I respectfully said: "Your Highness reined in from the precipice, I admire you very much." Li Xian said with some melancholy: "No matter who wins afterwards, my king's fate will be the same. If the second brother wins, this king would like to ask your lord something." I said solemnly: "Your Highness saves my life, if I can do it, I will be heartbroken, and I will not hesitate to do so. Please show me, Your Highness." Li Xian sighed and said: "I know that the winner is the king. If the prince wins, the second elder brother's family will definitely suffer. Although the prince promised yesterday that he would spare the family members of Prince Yong's mansion, I know him well. If I let go of my face, I will find another way to kill them all. Similarly, if the second brother wins, the elder brother's family will not end well. But they are all close relatives, and I really can't let them go. I hope that Suiyun can speak to the second brother, let the crown princess and the eldest son go, and depose them as ordinary people. The second brother has always been magnanimous, so maybe he can agree. If the second brother is willing to agree to this condition, I am willing to hand over the military power in my hand out." I was silent for a long time, and said: "Your Highness, don't you think about yourself, the princess, and your son?" Li Xian's complexion changed drastically, and he didn't speak for a long time before he said, "I know this is impossible, Zheng'er participated in the rebellion, if the second brother wins, no matter whether it is the law of the country or the family, Zheng'er will not be spared, it is me and Zheng'er's son will also be implicated, or the emperor will spare my life because I didn't participate in the rebellion, but my wife and children are dead, so what face do I have to enjoy wealth?" I took a look at Li Xian and knew that what he said was right. Neither Princess Qi nor Prince Qi's son can be exonerated.But it is inconvenient to say this, so I can only say: "The victory or defeat is not yet in sight, Your Highness, don't worry about it." Li Xian smiled wryly and said: "I don't dare to expect extravagantly, Suiyun you are so calm, you know that the prince's chances of winning are not great." Sending off King Qi, I had a lot of thoughts in my heart. Before today, all I could think about was how to increase the bargaining chip of King Yong. Naturally, I have nothing to say, I can only sacrifice myself, but if King Yong wins, how will I deal with the aftermath? King Yong will definitely ask me for my opinion, and my thoughts will involve tens of thousands of people. Life and death must not be careless. In my heart, the Crown Prince deserves to die, Fengyi Gate must not continue to exist, and Wei Ying almost ruined the great cause of King Yong. But he is the prime minister and has countless disciples, so how to deal with it properly will not harm the foundation of the country.And the most important thing is King Qi.Although for many years, because of King Qi, the prince has become arrogant, and King Yong may have deep resentment towards King Qi.But there is no doubt that King Qi has a bright and upright temperament, emphasizing affection and righteousness, and is a rare handsome talent. If he is executed or reprimanded, it will be Dayong's loss.However, King Qi has a fierce personality and is a ruthless person. Princess Qi will become a knot between him and King Yong. If King Qi is easily let go, there may be endless troubles in the future. It is really a dilemma.After thinking for a while, I suddenly laughed, King Yong and Shi Yu will take care of these things properly, why should I bother?Thinking of this, I gradually relaxed and fell asleep. Everything should have a result today and tomorrow.
