Prince Qi opened his mouth. He originally wanted to hold his father's thigh and cry, asking him to avenge himself, but he immediately remembered the oath he and Zu An had made, not to ask his father to take action, so he suppressed it.

And he also understood that with his father's temperament, crying in front of him would probably be counterproductive.

Seeing his silence, Han Fengqiu on the side came out and said thoughtfully: "It's that boy Zu An."

"Zu An?" King Qi frowned, "How can you be hurt like this when you have a cultivation level of six or seven?"

Prince Qi's face turned red. In fact, this was what he was puzzled about. He couldn't figure out why he, a dignified eighth-rank man, lost to that boy, and why he lost so miserably.

At this time, Han Fengqiu explained from the side: "That kid's movement skills are a bit weird. Even I almost couldn't catch him. It's normal for the prince to suffer a loss in his hands."

"Can't even catch you?" King Qi was a little moved. Even if he didn't trust his son's strength, he was still very clear about Han Fengqiu's strength. He had both cultivation and practical experience. He couldn't even catch him.

Zhu Zu'an, what a monster this kid is.

Han Fengqiu's old face heated up and he hurriedly added: "The main reason is that flying in the air is restricted in the capital, otherwise I would have been able to restrain him no matter how fast he was. Even so, I almost restrained him later, but it was a pity that Mrs. Yu's men

Uncle Fu came out to stop me, so I had no choice but to bring the prince back."

"Mrs. Jade?" King Qi's breathing suddenly became rapid, "But Yu Yanluo?"

"Well, it's him." Han Fengqiu replied.

Prince Qi saw his father's momentary lapse. Originally, he should feel sorry for his mother, but when he glanced at Yu Yanluo, as a man, he actually understood his father's attitude.

"She actually returned to the capital?" King Qi was a little excited. He walked back and forth in the house several times, and finally stood outside the window, looking at a certain direction in the capital. The light in his eyes gradually calmed down, "It's a pity that things have changed. If it were

Ten years ago, I would have risked everything to see her again, but unfortunately I am no longer in that mood."

Han Fengqiu flattered him from the side and said, "Your Majesty puts the overall situation first, which is really a blessing for us."

King Qi is now focusing entirely on fighting for the throne, and not being obsessed with women really gives his subordinates a sense of security.

King Qi turned around: "Why did Yu Yanluo save Zu An?"

Han Fengqiu shook his head, he was still confused about this.

At this time, Prince Qi whispered: "Maybe Zu An saved them before..."

Then he told the story about Zu An stopping the frightened galloping horse.

King Qi nodded secretly: "Your plan is quite good. It adheres to the righteousness of the court laws in every aspect. It is not in vain that I have trained you for so many years."

Zhao Zhi was overjoyed: "Thank you so much, father!"

You must know that King Qi has more than one son, and he is also under great pressure. Naturally, he hopes to use his absolute advantage to convince others to prevent them from having any inappropriate thoughts.

Where does this advantage come from? Of course it is my father’s love.

But then King Qi suddenly snorted coldly: "It's a pity that it's not perfect. Since it's a trap, why not arrange a carriage personally?"

Zhao Zhi defended: "I was worried that it would be too deliberate. People from the Liu family, Meng family, and Bi family would definitely make a fuss about it in the court, so I randomly found a passerby's carriage. We obviously observed it.

, that carriage is just ordinary, who would have thought it would be Yu Yanluo's car."

"Hmph, this is called Baimi Yishu," King Qi reprimanded, "So what if the people in the court question it, when the proof is irrefutable, they will just bark a few times, but your hesitation will only harm you."

The whole setup was a complete failure. It was simply a small gain but a big loss. Remember, when doing things in the future, you must clearly distinguish which risks you can bear and which risks you cannot tolerate."

"Father, you taught me a lesson!" Zhao Zhi hurriedly stood up to salute, but unfortunately the severe pain in his knee caused the sweat on his face to roll down immediately.

"Broken knee?" King Qi checked his injury at this time, his face as gloomy as water.

"The child is incompetent and has disgraced his father." Zhao Zhi knew that his father hated making excuses, so he might as well be more sincere and admit his own inadequacy.

Sure enough, after hearing his words, King Qi's expression became more relaxed, and he stretched out his hand to gently caress his knees, and two balls of white light appeared in his palms.

Zhao Zhi had a look of severe pain on his face at first, but after a while his frown gradually eased: "Thank you, father!"

Han Fengqiu on the side secretly admired that the master's cultivation was really unfathomable. Such an injury could be cured so easily. I had checked it before and found that there was nothing I could do.

"This is just to prevent your legs from having hidden dangers in the future. Specifically, we will find a few imperial doctors to treat you later. It will take at least several months to fully recover from your injury," King Qi said coldly,

"This is good, it allows you to shut up at home and think about your mistakes, so as not to be embarrassed when you go out."

A trace of unwillingness flashed in Zhao Zhi's eyes, but he still did not dare to refute: "Yes!"

In his heart, he hated Zu An to the extreme and thought that after I recover from my injuries, I will cut you into pieces!

The anger value from Zhao Zhi is +999+999+999...

"Okay, tell me the details of your battle with Zu An." King Qi patted the corner of his clothes and sat down on the stool beside him with his waist straight.

The biggest worry in his heart now is whether Zu An's unusual combat power is the result of the "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra". If it is so magical, then wouldn't the emperor really have to practice it...

Zhao Zhi endured the pain, sat up as straight as possible and told him the details of what had just happened.

King Qi listened and analyzed: "Zu An's weird movement skills should be from Eunuch Mi's Sunflower Phantom. During the time Eunuch Mi was hiding in Mingyue City, he must have been training him as a successor. However, although Sunflower Phantom has some merits,

, but it shouldn’t be that magical.”

Han Fengqiu also said at the side: "Your Majesty, when you say this, I really think that boy's movement is very similar to the legendary Sunflower Phantom, but there are some differences. I can't tell exactly what is different."

King Qi hummed, looked at his son, and said in a somewhat dissatisfied tone: "Even if the other party's movements are weird, you are an eighth-level practitioner after all. Why were you beaten so badly?"

Zhao Zhi's face heated up and he said hurriedly: "Originally, I always had the upper hand. At that time, because his movement skills were too weird, I was too lazy to hide and seek with him, so I used the 'Overlord Holy Thunder' to force him with the sea of ​​thunder.

Nowhere to hide."

Han Fengqiu secretly nodded. He had the same intention when he used the Sword Rain before. To deal with that weird movement, you need this kind of indiscriminate saturation attack.

"Then what?" King Qi was indifferent. Seeing his son's miserable appearance, he knew that this move was definitely a wrong choice.

Zhao Zhi then said with a mixture of grief and anger: "I don't know where a huge water ball appeared, and suddenly it rained on me, causing all the thunderclouds in the sky to hit me. After I was completely paralyzed, I was caught by Zu An.

Bitch, give...give..."

Thinking of being stepped on by the other party and having his knees broken at the same time, he felt sad and his eyes couldn't help but get wet.

King Qi glanced at him, and after seeing that he didn't really cry, he nodded with satisfaction: "You have had such a smooth life these years, it's good to learn this lesson."

Zhao Zhi did not dare to refute, so he could only respond: "Yes!"

At this time, Han Fengqiu who was standing aside hurriedly came out to speak for the Crown Prince: "Looking at it from the looks of it, there should be a master of the water system ambushing the Crown Prince around. He plotted against the Crown Prince at the critical moment, otherwise the Crown Prince would have already restrained Zu'an."

"Water system master?" King Qi thought for a moment and agreed with this statement. After all, Zu An seemed to be an ice system user, and it was impossible to use water system combat skills. There should be a water system master lurking next to him, but that would be

who?

In his mind, he went through the water masters in the capital. Those who could assassinate Zhao Zhi silently were at least Han Fengqiu's level. Several candidates appeared in his mind, and he subconsciously felt that they were unlikely to do such a thing, but

After thinking about it again, I felt that everyone had such a motive, and my eyebrows were furrowed tightly.

At this time, Zhao Zhi said bitterly: "After I recover from the injury, I must peel off the skin and cramps of the ancestor, so that I can vent my hatred."

After their analysis, he also realized that it was not that Zu An was so powerful, but that there was a water master secretly helping him, and he himself only relied on a set of ghostly body skills. How could he be his opponent in a real fight?

.

King Qi snorted heavily: "Aren't you embarrassed enough? You can rest in peace and recover from your injuries. You are not allowed to go anywhere after your injuries are healed. Don't forget that you foolishly made the oath of heaven!"

Zhao Zhi was anxious: "It's okay if I don't use the power of the palace. Next time I'm on guard, I can easily kill the surnamed Zu by myself."

King Qi glanced at him with some disappointment: "Do you think you only represent you? My father has now reached a critical period. The tree is big and attracts the wind. I don't know how many pairs of eyes in the court are staring at me. I have always been clean and self-sufficient, and they have been unable to catch me.

If you jump out now, wouldn't you be handing a knife to someone else?"

Zhao Zhi finally understood his father's concerns, but he still felt suffocated in his heart: "But can this be settled like this? He trampled on my legs in public. If he doesn't pay a heavy price, all of us will have to pay a heavy price."

People think that we, Prince Qi, are easy to bully, which would be even more troublesome. It would be a small thing for me to lose my face, but it would be a big thing for you, my father, to lose your face!"

King Qi sneered: "Don't use those schemes against me. Did I say let him go?"

Zhao Zhi's eyes suddenly lit up: "I wonder what my father has in store for me."

King Qi snorted and stood up again. There was an inexplicable aura in his whole person: "Today I will teach you another lesson. Don't rush forward recklessly when doing things. No matter how sharp and difficult it is, it is just a chess piece. You have to

Get off the chessboard and become a chess player."

"A chess player?" Zhao Zhi was startled and thoughtful.

King Qi smiled: "If you want to deal with Zu An, why do you need to take action personally? There is someone who wants his life more than you. As long as you make good use of that chess piece, it's not much better than charging into the battle yourself?"

Zhao Zhi's eyes lit up: "You mean the Shi family?"

He cultivated to the eighth level before he was forty. Although he had access to the vast resources of Prince Qi's Mansion since he was young, it also shows that he is talented and intelligent and is by no means a fool.

King Qi nodded: "Shi Kun died in the East Palace a few days ago. It is said that the Crown Princess hurt him unintentionally. The people of the Shi family are also holding back their anger. Not to mention that the Crown Princess was unintentional, even if it was intentional.

, the Shi family can't take revenge. But the fact that they can't take revenge on the Crown Princess doesn't mean they can't take revenge on others. The reason why Shi Kun had an accident was ultimately because of Zu An. The reason why the Shi family hasn't taken action yet is either

Either they haven’t realized this yet, or they have concerns, so all you need to do is give them a push.”

Zhao Zhi's expression brightened: "My father is really clever. This move not only allows the Shi family to deal with Zu An, but also completely pulls the semi-neutral Shi family into our camp. After all, Shi Kun is Da Sima's most beloved son.

He died in the hands of the Crown Princess. If the Crown Prince ascends the throne, he is destined to be unable to take revenge. Only by cooperating with us can revenge be possible."

King Qi finally showed a smile on his face: "Yes, my cultivation of you over the years is not in vain."

Zhao Zhi was humble in front of his father, but his eyes were fierce: "Zu, let's see how you die this time!"

At the same time, I secretly thought in my heart that the best way to take revenge on a man is to physically defeat him, then snatch their wives and daughters, and listen to their cries.

Humph, find an opportunity to snatch Chu Chuyan away, and then hug her and play with her in front of Zu An to see what kind of expression that guy will have!
