In Qiu Zhensheng's case, Fang Zhenqi behaved very normally, always obeying the orders of the Eastern Qi royal family and fulfilling his role loyally.
But Chu Xiu guessed from the beginning that General Fang was actually the second prince's man.
In the past, Chu Xiu's cheap father and several other dragonriding imperial guards who died in the Chu family were all from the Po Feng camp. They had begun collecting treasures for the second prince more than twenty years ago.
It can be said that the Po Feng Battalion is the second prince's private army. This is actually not a big secret in Dong Qi.
The Dragon Riding Forbidden Army is an army that belongs exclusively to the Eastern Qi royal family. Of course, some of them directly obey the orders of the Eastern Qi Emperor, while some of the remaining princes also hold some power in their hands.
The second prince's power in Dong Qi is now three points stronger than that of the prince. It is not surprising that he has a battalion of the Dragon Cavalry Forbidden Army under his command.
Moreover, the second prince was also paying close attention to Qiu Zhensheng's case this time.
Qiu Zhensheng had already taken refuge with him, but now Qiu Zhensheng died strangely and unexpectedly. Of course, the second prince must always pay attention to this kind of thing, not only for his own responsibility, but also to let other people who have taken refuge with him take a look and follow him.
Everyone, whether dead or alive, will have an explanation.
When Chu Xiu arrived at Zhuangzi, he discovered that Qiu Dongmao and the five Jiangdong heroes had not left and were still standing outside.
Seeing Chu Xiu coming, the Five Heroes of Jiangdong didn't look kindly on Chu Xiu.
Chu Xiu acted cruelly and cruelly, and they had no good impression of him.
Moreover, Chu Xiu had attacked Wu Tiandong before, which made them even more hostile.
However, Chu Xiu had no intention of competing with them, and instead entered Zhuangzi directly. Before leaving, he took a deep look at Qiu Dongmao, which made him feel hairy in his heart, and then entered Zhuangzi.
He asked a dragonrider to take him to see Fang Zhenqi. As soon as he opened the door, Fang Zhenqi said in a deep voice: "Has the case already been revealed?"
Chu Xiu didn't answer the question and said directly: "I want to see the second prince."
Fang Zhenqi frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
Chu Xiu said: "Of course I only mean it literally. I have investigated a lot of interesting things. Strictly speaking, the death of Qiu Zhensheng was caused by the second prince. Doesn't the second prince not want to know? What's in my hand?"
Things that the Second Prince will not regret."
Fang Zhenqi frowned and said, "You wait here first, I'll go ask the second prince."
The Second Prince has made it clear that this matter must be investigated strictly. At the moment, he doesn't know whether what Chu Xiu said is true or false, but it will never go wrong if he reports it to the Second Prince first.
Fang Zhenqi is one of the second prince's confidants, so he naturally has the second prince's contact information.
Chu Xiu waited in Zhuangzi for a day, and then Fang Zhenqi came over and said in a deep voice: "Chu Xiu, the second prince invites you to come over."
With that said, Fang Zhenqi directly led Chu Xiu to a manor outside Jeju Prefecture.
As the second prince of Dong Qi, Lu Longguang owned many properties throughout Dong Qi, and this manor was one of them.
To be honest, Chu Xiu was still a little curious about Lu Longguang. After all, this prince was very famous in Dong Qi.
It is said that the birth time of Lu Longguang and Prince Lu Longji was only a quarter of an hour apart, but in this quarter of an hour, one of them became the crown prince, while the other was only the second prince.
After growing up, Lu Longguang was naturally very unconvinced by this kind of thing and wanted to compete with the prince in everything. Of course, he did have this qualification.
The world is martial, and everything is respected by force, and the imperial family of the Eastern Qi Dynasty is no exception.
Prince Lu Longji's strength in martial arts can only be said to be mediocre, similar to that of his father. Even with countless elixirs accumulated and taught by masters, he only reached the Neigang realm after he was thirty years old.
Lu Longguang, on the other hand, had an astonishing talent in martial arts. He had already entered Xiantian before he reached his twenties. After that, he followed the Eastern Qi army in their expeditions and gained a strong reputation in the military.
In terms of ability, Lu Longji is only average. As the prince, he holds a lot of power, but most of it is just handed over to his own subordinates.
Lu Longguang, on the other hand, was very experienced and experienced, and his methods were skillful and sophisticated, which impressed his subordinates.
It can be said that if Lu Longji did not have the status of a prince, he would be almost completely crushed by the latter.
However, Chu Xiu vaguely remembered that in the original plot, the Kaiyuan Emperor Lu Haochang was already over a hundred years old, but he had no intention of abdicating the throne to make way for someone more worthy.
Of course, the plot has changed a lot now. Whether the second prince can take the throne is still unknown.
Fang Zhenqi knocked on the door of a room, took Chu Xiu inside, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, Chu Xiu has been brought here."
There were only two people in the room at this time, one was sitting and the other was standing.
The person sitting was a young man in his thirties, with a beard, masculine appearance, wearing a golden python robe, and carrying a powerful aura.
This person is Lu Longguang, the second prince of Dong Qi. His actual age should have reached fifty, but because he was only in his thirties when he entered the Three Flowers Gathering Realm, his current appearance has always remained there.
hour.
Behind Lu Longguang, there was an old eunuch with a white face and a beardless face, looking at Chu Xiu eagerly. This man was also a great master in the realm of unity between man and nature.
"Fang Zhenqi said that you came to me to tell me about the cause of Qiu Zhensheng's death. What happened? If you don't give me a reasonable explanation today, even if you are from Guanzhong Punishment Hall, Guan Siyu will not be able to protect you!"
As Lu Longguang opened his mouth, a strong pressure came over him.
The second prince was famously strong, and what he said was not a joke. If Chu Xiu was really playing tricks on him, Guan Siyu would not be able to protect Chu Xiu.
Chu Xiu didn't care about the second prince's attitude. He just said in a deep voice: "Since I dare to ask General Fang to invite the second prince, I naturally have something genuine.
I have already found out the cause of Qiu Zhensheng’s death. I believe the second prince also wants to know who killed his latest subordinate, right?"
Lu Longguang narrowed his eyes and said with a cold expression: "Who told you that Qiu Zhensheng is mine?"
Chu Xiu said calmly: "Second Prince, don't worry, these are not your internal problems, Second Prince, but I investigated them."
With a strong person like Lu Longguang, Chu Xiu didn't want to go around in circles with him, but directly told all this. However, he directly ignored Mr. Lu's role in it. In one sentence, it was all his fault.
Just investigate and find out.
After hearing this, Lu Longguang's face turned gloomy and he said coldly: "My eldest brother is so thoughtful that he colluded with Jiang Wenyuan without saying a word. He really doesn't know how to live or die!"
If the relationship between the prince and Jiang Wenyuan hadn't been exposed by Chu Xiu today, he might still have been kept in the dark.
Although Jiang Wenyuan could not help the prince achieve anything, it was very easy to harm him.
"Where is the evidence?" Lu Longguang looked at Chu Xiu and asked in a deep voice.
Chu Xiu said: "Of course I have the evidence, but Second Prince, you don't think that I will give you the evidence for nothing, right? If that's the case, I might as well hand the evidence directly to Eunuch Wang Jin and let him go to His Majesty.
If I can repay my merit there, I will at least get a reward from His Majesty."
"You dare to threaten me?" Lu Longguang's face darkened, and the white-faced and beardless eunuch behind him also snorted coldly, and a powerful aura attacked Chu Xiu.
It's just that the Chu Xiu now is no longer the Chu Xiu of the past. Even a master in the realm of harmony between man and nature cannot scare him away. Facing the eunuch's momentum, Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "It's not a threat, it's a threat.
Transactions are only fair if they come and go, right?
Second Prince, with all due respect, what Dong Qi needs right now is stability. If I hand over the evidence that Jiang Wenyuan killed Qiu Zhensheng, it will have no effect. Jiang Wenyuan will just be reprimanded.
On the other hand, if I hand over the evidence that Jiang Wenyuan colluded with the prince and intended to instigate civil strife in the Eastern Qi royal family, I will kill Jiang Wenyuan!
I hand over this evidence, it is a matter of business, but if it is handed over by you, the second prince, it can be used as a tool to attack the prince. Isn't this deal worth it?
Of course, you are the second prince of Dong Qi, and I am just a small gang leader who came from the Guanzhong Punishment Hall. There is nothing you can do if you want to rob me.
But they say that Second Prince, you are a generous person, so you must not be able to do such a thing, right? Besides, I have more than one piece of evidence."
Lu Longguang looked a little ugly after hearing Chu Xiu's words. He has a strong character. If Chu Xiu took the initiative to provide evidence, he might reward Chu Xiu for this, but in the end Chu Xiu was neither soft nor hard.
Threatening him to make some kind of deal, this kind of thing is what Lu Longguang hates the most.
However, the evidence is now in Chu Xiu's hands, especially since Chu Xiu also said that he still has a piece of evidence. If he robs it by force, it is not certain whose hands that piece of evidence will fall into.
Although Lu Longguang didn't know whether what Chu Xiu said was true or false, he urgently needed this evidence to give his eldest brother, the Crown Prince, some eye drops, so he temporarily endured this tone and snorted:
"Tell me, what do you want?"
Chu Xiu's eyes showed a strange color and said: "I heard that His Highness the Second Prince has the Heaven and Earth Destroying Selfless Killing Fist in the Yin and Yang Great Compassion between Heaven and Earth in his hands. What I want is exactly this technique!"
In the original plot, only a few martial arts appeared in the Heaven and Earth Conquer Yin Yang and Great Compassion. The Heavenly Jedi Destruction and Selfless Killing Fist is the most famous one among them, and it is also a martial arts with extremely lethal power.
There is not only one person who has learned this technique, but many people, and its source is in the hands of this second prince.
As the name suggests, the Heavenly Jue Earth Destruction Selfless Killing Fist is a technique that condenses the way of killing to the extreme, and is most suitable for practicing by warriors in the military.
After the second prince obtained this skill, he often used it to win over the strong men in the army. Chu Xiu was still thinking about how to get this skill into his hands, but he did not expect that the opportunity would come now.
