Thirty miles outside Zhengzhou City, there is a manor with beautiful environment. It is the villa of an official in the city. It is luxuriously built. However, at this moment, the manor is occupied by Prince Chun. The manor is surrounded by patrolling soldiers and is heavily guarded.
.
"Your Majesty, no, no!"
"Beauty, be good and obedient."
In a certain bedroom in the manor, the voices of a man and a woman were heard constantly, and one of the protagonists was obviously Prince Chun.
"Your Majesty!" At this time, a sharp voice came from outside the house, and the fighting in the house suddenly stopped.
"What's the matter?" Prince Chun's tone was obviously unhappy, as if he had been disturbed.
"Reporting to the prince, the Liu brothers are back." The person outside the house said respectfully.
"Brothers of the Liu family? Well, you take them to the living room, I will be there later." It seemed that there was something urgent, Prince Chun thought for a moment and then said, without continuing to mess around.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The people outside the house gradually disappeared.
"Your Majesty, would you like to stay with me?" A sweet voice said from inside the house.
"Be obedient, and I will come to accompany you after I finish my work." Prince Chun said.
"Then please hurry up, Your Majesty." The woman said immediately, her voice soft.
Not long after, the door was opened, and a man in his twenties walked out of the room. This man was handsome, with an air of nobility about him, and there was a flash of light between his eyes. This man was
It was Prince Chun of this generation, Aixinjueluo Zaifeng, the half-brother of Emperor Guangxu. Although he was twenty years old, he was already in great power and was one of the most powerful people in the Qing Dynasty.
The twenties are a person's golden age, especially for an ambitious person. At this moment, Zaifeng doesn't show a trace of lust at all, as if there are two completely different people inside and outside the house.
.
Zaifeng came to the front hall. At this time, there were people waiting in the hall. When Zaifeng arrived, everyone inside saluted at the same time.
"I have met the prince."
Zaifeng walked all the way and sat down on the chair above. Then he looked at the two tall figures kneeling in front of him and said, "Forgive me."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The two of them stood up.
"How is the investigation going?" Zaifeng asked directly.
"Reporting to the prince, according to our secret investigation, the person who stole the key has now entered Zhengzhou. However, the opponent's strength is too high, and we dare not act rashly, so we came here to report to the prince." One of them said.
"Oh, I'm here as expected. You're quite brave." Zaifeng said with a gloomy look. The key was stolen from the Forbidden City. This was undoubtedly a slap in the face of Aixinjueluo as a whole. More importantly,
The other party happened to steal the key to the Yellow River Ancient Road, something that should have belonged to him.
After saying that, Zaifeng looked at the two people in front of him and said, "Well, you did a good job, but since you are here, even if the other party gains wings this time, I will make sure that she cannot escape."
"It's all thanks to your wisdom," the two said immediately, but they didn't dare to take the credit for themselves.
"Okay, I always have clear rewards and punishments. If you have made a contribution this time, you will be rewarded after you return to the capital." Zaifeng waved his hand and said, at least in terms of controlling people, he has done a good job.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After the two thanked them again, they turned around and left.
"Da da da!"
"Commander Zhao Fan, come here." After the Liu brothers left, Zaifeng squinted his eyes and tapped his fingers on the table. After a while, he suddenly said.
"Yes, Your Majesty." There was no one in the living room, but the voice came out clearly.
Not long after he finished speaking, a man of medium height walked in. He was wearing a suit of armor and carrying a broadsword at his waist. He had a majestic or evil aura about him.
"Meet the prince." The middle-aged man knelt down on one knee and said loudly and forcefully.
"Commander Fan, there is no need to be polite. I came to you so late because I have something to discuss." Zaifeng said harmoniously. If someone who didn't know him saw him, they would immediately think that this was a very kind prince.
"Your Majesty, if you have anything to do, just give me your orders." Commander Fan stood up and said directly.
"Commander Fan, do you still remember the thief who broke into the Forbidden City?" Zaifeng asked. He had a completely different attitude towards Commander Fan in front of him, because Commander Fan was not his subordinate, but his brother.
Even though he is a prince, the person he is sent to represents the emperor, so he needs to keep his duty in mind in every word and deed.
What's more, the other party is the commander of the Ouchi Guards, and his martial arts skills are also rare in the Qing Dynasty. It is precisely because of his presence that Zaifeng is full of confidence at this moment.
"Remember, does the prince have any news about her?" Commander Fan stared and asked immediately. As the commander of the Imperial Guards, responsible for the security of the entire Forbidden City, a thief actually broke into it and stole the key to the Yellow River Ancient Road.
, as soon as this news spread, the whole world was in an uproar. Even the old Buddha dropped his beloved cup, which shows the seriousness of this matter.
However, the other party fled later, and it seemed that an accomplice helped him escape from the capital. However, since the other party stole the key to the Yellow River Ancient Road, he would definitely come to Zhengzhou, so this time he also went with him in order to catch him.
live.
"Yes, according to the Liu brothers' information, that person has arrived in Zhengzhou." Zaifeng said with a smile.
"Are you here already? Very good. I ask for your permission to lead your men into Zhengzhou and capture the thief." Commander Fan said directly.
"Commander Fan, don't worry. Since the enemy is here, he is a rat in a urn. He cannot escape even if he wants to. Apart from the thief, there is another reason why we came to the commander this time." Zaifeng said after a moment of pondering.
"Your Majesty, please speak." Commander Fan said.
"Catching the thief and regaining the key this time is just one of them. After all, there are six keys in total. They are in Maoshan, Longhu Mountain, Baidi City, Dunhuang Ancient City, and in the hands of a lucky person. Only six keys can be collected together.
, can we open the Yellow River Ancient Road." Zaifeng said slowly.
"What do you mean by the prince to seize the key from the lucky man?" Commander Fan asked.
"No, just one key is enough. The key in the lucky man's hand is just for people in the world to fight for. We can also add fuel to the flames and let a lot of those people die. But this is just incidental. The focus is still on Maoshan.
, Longhu Mountain, Baidi City, the three forces." Zaifeng said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, my subordinates will do their best." Speaking of the three major forces, even Commander Fan felt deep pressure. No one dared to underestimate the thousand-year-old faction, not even the one in the Forbidden City.
"Instead of trying our best, I hope that they will never come back." Zaifeng said suddenly and shockingly.
"Wha, what?" Commander Fan was suddenly startled and looked at Zaifeng in disbelief. Asking him to kill people from the three major forces? It's not that he is afraid of death. In fact, this is not a question of whether he is afraid of death or not.
, the Yellow River Ancient Road is opened, I think the opponent will definitely send super strong people, and the third difficulty will definitely be impossible, but at least it will be the peak of the second difficulty for experienced people, and even the second difficulty peak will be perfect.
And he is only in the state of perfection now. It is simply impossible for him to destroy the people of those three major forces, unless there are no existences of the second most difficult peak perfection in those three major forces.
"Commander Fan, don't be surprised. If you are not more than half sure, I will not take this risk. No matter what happens this time, the things in the Yellow River Ancient Road can only belong to me." Zaifeng finally made no secret of his feelings.
Ambition and purpose.
"Your Majesty, this matter is not trivial. If you offend the three major forces rashly, will it cause trouble?" Commander Fan was still wary. Although Zaifeng was the prince, he directly obeyed the emperor's orders. To be more precise, he should be obeying orders.
That old Buddha, he knew the character of that old Buddha very well. To put it nicely, he was calm, but to put it bluntly, he was timid and only dared to be aggressive.
When the Eight-Nation Allied Forces invaded, they originally relied on the strength of the capital, Hebei, Tianjin and other places to fight. They even appointed a few generals who were good at fighting. Even if they could not win, they could keep the coalition forces out of the capital and not make the world laugh.
.
Unexpectedly, before the Eight-Nation Allied Forces approached the capital, the old Buddha was already frightened by the news. He frightened himself. Coupled with the encouragement of the timid ministers, he naturally started to run away without stopping.
thoughts.
This escape was safe, but it also cost the Manchus little luck, and allowed the world to see through the reality of the Manchu dynasty. The capital was trampled by those bandits, and everything was looted. Even the inheritance
The Old Summer Palace of several dynasties was destroyed in one fell swoop, which is heartbreaking.
No matter how unwilling Commander Fan was, he was still powerless, let alone disobeying that person's will. But now, he was just a prince, and even though he was the emperor's younger brother, he did not necessarily have to obey.
After all, he is a being who has reached the pinnacle of the second difficulty. Looking at the whole world, how many people can defeat him except those who have reached the third difficulty?
"The ancient Yellow River Road is full of dangers. Isn't it normal for an accident to happen? Even if someone doubts us, there is no evidence." After finishing speaking, Zaifeng glanced at Commander Fan and said: "You can rest assured about this, absolutely.
It won’t cause any trouble, and even if something does happen, I will be responsible for it.”
At the end of the sentence, Zaifeng's tone became a little more serious. It was obvious that his patience was about to run out. If Commander Fan continued to be ignorant, he might really be offended.
"Subordinate...who!"
Just when Commander Fan was about to agree, he suddenly turned around and looked outside with two gleams of light in his eyes. At the same time, a figure flashed around Zaifeng. There was already a man dressed as an eunuch, guarding Zaifeng's side.
.
"Excuse me, Chief, to protect the prince. I want to see who is bold enough to spy." After Commander Fan finished speaking, he strode away and disappeared in a flash. (To be continued)
