The third prince made Jia Lian feel very uncomfortable.
This point has already occurred since the time we first met the third prince.
Although the third prince's reputation in the government and the public was very good, Jia Lian initially felt that the third prince was very sophisticated and even slightly sinister, perhaps because he was a similar person, so he did not like him very much.
I believe that the other party treats him the same way.
The reason why the other party has always been kind to him is probably because he is very valuable. Even though there is a risk of breaking trust with Emperor Ning Kang now, based on his past achievements and huge reputation, his value to the third prince is still very high.
Of course, it may also be because the third prince is still very weak and needs a lot of help.
Speaking of which, if given the choice, Jia Lian would actually prefer the eldest prince to continue to be the crown prince.
Although the eldest prince is not a wise man, he still has a good appearance and has a track record of behavior. Even if he supports such a person to rise to power in the future, he will not feel that his future is precarious.
Therefore, although Jia Lian is a staunch imperialist on the surface and does not participate in the dispute between the princes, in fact he still prefers the princes.
It's a pity that the prince, who was in the peak of the vortex, failed to grasp the situation and ended up playing himself.
Thinking of this, Jia Lian smiled helplessly. He was not qualified to pity the prince now.
He himself was in trouble.
The Supreme Emperor's remarks pushed him to the forefront and also pushed him to be the opposite of Emperor Ningkang.
At the moment, it is still unclear whether Emperor Ningkang can figure it out and whether he can reconcile with Emperor Ningkang again.
The only thing that is certain is that as long as he does not act rashly at this critical moment, Emperor Ning Kang will definitely not kill him.
At best, hide him in the snow.
If this is the case, then it will be extremely important to make good friends with the future emperor in order to hope that Emperor Ningkang will make a comeback after his death.
If you calculate it this way, the olive branch extended to him by the third prince is like a life-saving straw for him.
When Jia Lian came back to his senses, he realized that he had returned to the military camp and Aqi was removing his armor.
He left Beijing without any of his attendants, not even Ah Qin.
He had known that this was a dangerous situation, and Ah Qin's skills were not as good as her sister's, so it was better for him to stay at home and protect Sister Feng.
Looking at Aqi, who always had a stern face, and only occasionally raised her head to look at him, her eyes would show tenderness for a moment, the annoyance in Jia Lian's heart gradually disappeared.
The two sisters Aqi and Aqin are quite tall. The elder sister Aqi is even slightly shorter than Jia Lian, but this does not affect the beauty of her female form.
Even though she was wearing armor, Aqi's body still looked slim and slender.
I remembered that during these days when I was away from home, Aqi, who was acting as a bodyguard, would make her bed and quilt and tidy up her housework.
Although she held many positions, she didn't act coquettish or complain at all. She didn't even show a trace of fatigue in front of him. Jia Lian stretched out his hand lovingly and touched her head.
Aqi glanced at him and seemed to understand what he meant.
After stripping Jia Lian to only his thin clothes and hanging the heavy armor on the stand, she walked to the tent door and closed the curtain completely.
The curtains are closed, which means that the Lord is resting, and nothing should be disturbed.
Jia Lian had originally come back to sleep, but when he saw this, he was no longer sleepy. He looked expectantly at A Qi, who suddenly became nervous.
Aqi walked up to Jia Lian and asked hesitantly, speaking in less than standard Chinese: "Subordinate, do you need to remove your armor..."
In this situation, using such an official self-identification made Jia Lian feel strange.
But he still smiled and said: "You don't have to."
He wanted to see how far his straight daughter Aqi could go, and he really didn't have any thoughts of having a big fight with Aqi right now.
Aqi frowned. She was actually not used to doing this kind of thing. Contrary to her sister, she liked to be passive.
But she was the only woman beside Jia Lian here, and she also knew that Jia Lian seemed a little troubled now. As one of his women, she also had the obligation to comfort Jia Lian.
So she nodded, stepped forward and kissed Jia Lian's lips gently, then followed her sister's actions in the past, holding Jia Lian's chest and waist with both hands, and slowly lowered her body.
The armors of her two sisters were specially made for them by Jia Lian. They were not only white and beautiful, but also light and soft in texture, making it easy for her to kneel on the ground, giving Jia Lian more visual experience.
…
Just when Jia Lian was muddle along and enjoy the ecstasy of the beauty in the camp, a very unusual scene happened in the commander's tent of the guard camp.
A young general wearing golden armor knelt on the ground and banged his head.
"Please, Lord Commander, make the decision for my two brothers!!"
If there were anyone here, they would definitely see that such a military general raised his head with tears streaming down his face.
Unfortunately, there is no one else here except Feng Sheng, the high-ranking commander of the military camp.
As one of the three main battalions of the Royal Guards and the largest guard battalion, its leadership level is higher than that of other ordinary battalions, reaching the second level.
And as one of the biggest contributors to Emperor Ningkang's attempt to force the palace, Feng Sheng naturally has a bright future, and it may not be impossible to reach the top of the first rank in the future.
But Feng Sheng also looked shocked at this time.
"You mean, you suspect that the third prince murdered your brother?"
"yes!"
"Did you see it with your own eyes?"
"Although I have never seen it with my own eyes, I am confident that my brother's death must be closely related to the third prince!
At that time, the elder brother led troops to assist the third prince in rounding up the prince. After several battles, the number of people around the prince was less than a hundred.
When we arrived at Wangjialing, my brother wiped out most of them in one fell swoop. How could it be possible for the remaining defeated generals of the Prince Yi to kill my brother and his own soldiers one by one, and not even the messenger could escape?
come out?
What's more, when the third prince sent his brother's corpses back, he carefully inspected them and found that his brother and his soldiers were all shot to death by crossbow arrows. Although some people deliberately cut their wounds with swords, it didn't matter.
You can hide it from me!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Commander! My brother has followed the commander for so many years and has always been loyal. Commander, you must make the decision for my brother. You cannot let my brother die in such an unclear way..."
After the young general finished speaking sadly and indignantly, he kowtowed again.
Feng Sheng's expression brightened, and he pondered for a moment, but then he shook his head: "These are all just your speculations. If you want to accuse His Highness the Third Prince without any real evidence, it is tantamount to wishful thinking..."
Realizing that the young general did not accept his statement, Feng Sheng raised his hand to signal him to calm down.
"Now that the prince is dead, the position of heir apparent must belong to the third prince.
Don't say you don't have real evidence, so what if you saw it with your own eyes?
Your brother is dead. Do you want me to go against His Highness the Third Prince because of your brother's death?
Even if I can do it, do you think His Majesty will destroy His Highness the Third Prince just because of a mere farm canal?
well……
Let this matter end here. No matter what the truth is, it will not be of any benefit to you or me if we continue to investigate further."
"Commander!!"
The young general spoke angrily, but he also understood that Feng Sheng's words made sense.
Compared with the third prince, his brother is indeed nothing, even though his brother made great contributions in this incident.
But he just wasn't willing to give in!
"Commander, my brother and the third prince had no enmity. After the prince lost power, my brother even intentionally clung to the third prince. His highness the third prince had no reason to harm his brother. I suspect that this matter is related to the death of the prince..."
"shut up!"
Feng Sheng suddenly stood up, his expression suddenly changed.
"You can say this casually? Do you want all ten members of your Tian family to be buried with you?"
The closer you are to the center of power, the more you understand that the Tian family is ruthless.
Now that the prince is dead, how he died is not important at all. Unless Emperor Ning Kang speaks out, who would dare to criticize the third prince over this matter?
The third prince was ordered to chase the prince, but he came back with the prince's body. With so many ministers on the mountain, could no one have doubts?
But who have you ever seen discuss with others face to face?
If nothing else, firstly, the prince had completely lost power in the first place, so it can be said that he deserved it.
Second, everyone knows that the third prince will be the future heir apparent. At this time, it is too late to curry favor with the third prince. Who would make fun of his own wealth and life?
"Go back. Your brother has made a lot of achievements this time. I will use this as an excuse to promote you a few levels later.
Your brother is dead, and your Tian family will have to rely on you to support you in the future, so don’t be stupid."
After giving instructions, Feng Sheng waved his hand to signal him to retreat.
Although the young general looked unwilling, he had no choice but to throw down his hands and leave the tent.
When I came outside, there was already someone waiting.
"How is it? What does the commander say?"
"What else can you say? As you might expect, he doesn't want to care about it at all.
This man surnamed Feng is in vain to be the commander of an army. He is just a coward at the critical moment and cannot be relied on at all."
"Then what are you going to do?"
The young general is naturally Tian Qu's younger brother, named Tian Liang.
At this time, he also fell into extreme hesitation. On the one hand, he was determined to seek justice for his brother, but on the other hand, he knew that the other person's words were so slight that there was no way he could touch the third prince's hair.
If the quarrel continues, he is destined to be defeated, and may even lose the lives of the Tian family.
Finally, he said dejectedly: "What else can I do? Even Feng Sheng doesn't dare to mess with the third prince, so what can I do?
However, the revenge of killing my brother cannot be settled like this, sooner or later one day... Huh!"
Even so, Tian Liang knew that if the third prince really became the crown prince and even ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in the future, he would have no chance of revenge.
So he punched the big tree next to him hard.
The person next to him is also a commander of the military camp, named Zhou Xianming, who is one of his best brothers in the army.
Seeing that Tian Liang was already planning to give up seeking revenge, Zhou Xianming said nothing on the surface, but secretly started to make plans.
He and Tian Liang are brothers, but he has no friendship with Tian Qu, so he doesn't care much about Tian Qu's death.
It was only after the calculation between him and Tian Liang that the reason why the third prince killed Tian Qu was probably related to the death of the prince. Maybe it was because Tian Qu knew the truth about the third prince's murder of the prince, so he was silenced.
Like the Tian Liang brothers, he was an ordinary officer. He had been in the army for many years and had a strong ambition to make progress.
He wondered if there was any way to monetize such important information.
…
Jia Lian slowly woke up from his light sleep and found that he was still lying on the armchair and it was already dark outside.
Lowering his head, Aqi was lying quietly on one of his thighs and had fallen asleep.
The little face that was originally somewhat resolute now revealed a bit of the coquettishness of a little daughter.
Looking at the little girl who didn't even put the tools back for him, I wondered if this girl was so tired that she just fell asleep? She was too dedicated.
So he bent down and gently picked her up and placed her on the small bed beside him. He discovered that Aqi, who was originally sleeping very alertly, was not woken up this time.
You know, this girl is probably tired these past two days.
After setting up the quilt for her, Jia Lian rearranged his trousers and robe before walking out of the tent.
"Your Majesty, is he awake?"
"Not long after noon, I woke up. I heard that after taking the medicine, the Holy Body was fine."
After briefly asking about the situation on the mountain, Jia Lian decided to go back to the camp to rest.
Anyway, Emperor Ning Kang won't use him now, so he is happy to be at ease.
"Master Hou, there is a person outside who claims to be a commander under Captain Hu of the Guard Camp and wants to see Master Hou."
"command?"
Like most people in high positions, for the current Jia Lian, it is indeed difficult for a small sixth-grade commander to be placed in his eyes.
If he wanted to, he could easily promote a group of fifth- and sixth-grade military attachés.
But naturally Jia Lian would not be so arrogant that he would not let him see him once he heard his identity.
Not to mention that the Captain Hu reported by the other party was probably Hu Jin, Hu Yuanyao's father. It was said that this was a troubled time, and this person came to see him while it was dark, so he might have something important to do.
"Let him come over."
After giving instructions, Jia Lian walked into Liu Xianglian's tent and occupied the magpie's nest.
