Ximen Hao frowned. He knew very little about King Huainan, and he didn't even fully understand the affairs of the previous generation.
"So, what your Majesty is struggling with is not who will live or die between me and Ximen Guang, but King Huainan?"
"Ahem, cough, cough! That's right and that's not the case. After all, you are all princes and your Majesty's flesh and blood."
Ji Wubing explained.
"Go on, analyze my current situation and see if there are any loopholes?"
Ximen Hao paid more attention to it, and at the same time he felt that Ji Wubing was not as useless as he seemed. And since he was involved in the matter, some things were not as clear as others could see.
The corners of Ji Wubing's lips curled up, and he continued to fan his folding fan. It seemed that when he was making plans, it was time for him to show off.
"Since His Highness left the palace, the things you have done these days are indeed very good. Not only have you gained some recognition from His Majesty, but you have also established an image among the people. But please don't forget, Your Highness, there are two things that are wrong with the things you have done.
."
"explain."
Ximen Hao looked at Ji Wubing.
"First, it's Marshal Zhennan's eldest daughter, that fiery girl Di Yingying. Don't think that others can't see what you think. You want to use Di Yingying to make Di Hu obey. However, Di Hu lives up to his name.
Like a fierce tiger! What you do will only make him hate you even more! I think the Di family is already on the way. When they want Di Yingying, will you give it to them or not? "
"This... depends on what Yingying wants."
After talking and interacting with each other these days, Ximen Hao found that this girl is pretty good. Apart from her bad temper, this journey would be much more boring without her.
Moreover, he could also see that this little girl seemed to have developed a crush on him.
As for me, I am also a strong-blooded man. To say that it is not interesting at all is to fool people.
"No! Don't look at what she means. You must go! If you don't want to leave, you have to drive her away!"
Ji Wubing said seriously.
"Why?"
Ximen Hao was puzzled.
"brush!"
Ji Wubing closed the folding fan and his tone became a little sinister:
"Your Highness, if I were Ximen Guang, I would accidentally kill Di Yingying while killing you. In that case, even if you don't die, you will suffer crazy revenge from Di Hu!"
"hiss……"
Ximen Hao took a breath. He really didn't think so much, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his back.
Although Di Hu is the queen's brother, he is on the prince's side.
However, he is the emperor's minister after all! At most, he supports Ximen Guang in the court.
If Di Yingying died in his own hands, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"There's more, continue."
Ji Wubing raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "The second thing is Pan Shijie's matter. Although you hit Pan Shimei, of course, you already have a grudge. After all, the princess died unexpectedly. But this time you severely injured his
The power of the prince killed his people. I think if anyone blows a wind in his ear at this time, there will probably be more people who assassinate you. Of course, I hope the prince will not blow the wind, but
It’s probably blown.”
Ximen Hao's expression changed suddenly at this time, and the initial complacency disappeared instantly.
What he did in Anyang City was beautiful, but it also left behind troubles.
Suddenly, he stood up and bowed his hands to Ji Wubing.
Then he called Daji and left the room.
"Oh! Go back and let Daji apply the medicine..."
Ji Wubing looked at Ximen Hao's back and smiled.
Suddenly, I felt that this legendary good-for-nothing prince was not a good-for-nothing, but a very interesting person.
"Cough cough cough..."
Maybe he said too much just now, which made him cover his mouth and cough.
After he stopped coughing, he spread his hands and looked at it, and couldn't help but cursed:
"It's been twenty years, why the hell are you coughing up some blood?"
…
Early next morning.
"Sir, the carriage is ready and it's time to set off."
Liu Sheng stood next to Ximen Hao who was sitting at the table and having breakfast. After a night's rest, it was time to go.
Ximen Hao ate the last bite of the steamed bun, then drank up a bowl of millet porridge and wiped his mouth:
"I'm not leaving, let's continue to rest."
"ah?"
"Um?"
Ximen Hao glanced at Liu Sheng.
"Oh! Yes, I will inform others right away."
Liu Sheng quickly retreated.
"Sir, why don't you leave?"
Bilian filled a new bowl of millet porridge and gently placed it in front of Ximen Hao.
"Waiting for someone, by the way, go and call Yingying down for dinner. Why does this girl like to sleep in so much? And that sick guy, let him come down too."
"Yes, sir."
Bilian bowed and then went upstairs.
Ximen Hao looked at the deserted inn. Apart from them, a couple who were traveling and their children left early in the morning.
After a while, Ji Wubing walked down with his big dog. Even though Gale Wind Step had shrunk in size, his ferocious look still made the shopkeeper look pale.
"Brother Hao, is it so early?"
Ximen Hao glanced at Ji Wubing, and then said to the shopkeeper:
"Two servings of the same breakfast."
"etc!"
Ji Wubing suddenly called out to the shopkeeper.
"What's the matter, sir?"
A gift from the shopkeeper.
"Here, get some fresh meat. Get more. My big dog has a big appetite. Let's charge it to his account."
Ji Wubing pointed at Ximen Hao.
The shopkeeper trembled and ran down quickly because he saw the big wolf-like dog looking at him with green eyes.
"Brother Hao, have you figured it out?"
Ji Wubing sat down, then picked up a snow-white steamed bun, broke off a small piece, and ate it in small bites.
"Well, let's not leave now. We'll wait for someone from the Di family to come."
Ximen Hao leaned on the chair and stretched out his hand to pull Daji's big tail.
Ji Wubing's eyes twitched and he glanced at Daji.
He was sure that this fox demon must have been controlled by some means, like a puppet.
"So, Brother Hao accepts me?"
"Temporarily, if I see that you are unhappy, I will tell you to get out."
Ximen Hao said very rudely.
"you……"
Ji Wubing was furious, he was simply a barbarian!
"Wow! Sick Yangzi, are you awake? I thought you died of coughing last night!"
Di Yingying's words were like a knife cutting into Ji Wubing's heart. It was bloody and even more irritating than Ximen Hao's.
"Yingying, come down and eat."
Ximen Hao smiled gently.
"Okay, Brother Hao."
Di Yingying went downstairs happily and naturally changed her name to Ximen Hao.
Ximen Hao's expression froze, and he suddenly felt reluctant to give up.
Without this little girl, the rest of the journey will be so boring.
Ji Wubing saw all this and smiled casually without saying anything.
After breakfast, everyone was waiting for lunch, after lunch, everyone was waiting for dinner, and just like that, the day passed.
At noon the next day, everyone had lunch together, and their mouths were full of oil. After all, they had to eat solid food after leaving.
At this moment, there was a sound of horses neighing outside, followed by the sound of armor clashing.
Soon, three armored soldiers appeared at the door of the inn.
"Brother!"
Di Yingying exclaimed and the chopsticks in her hand fell to the ground.
