He was waiting for what this boy would do next. To his surprise, the new King Xiang was not Zhu Changcheng but his younger brother Zhu Changli.
Although he is also the legitimate son, he has no reputation and no connections. The person who made him the king of Xiang is naturally his brother. Why would he do this?
Xiangyang also sent a message to King Yi, and King Ji guessed that they were going to take the initiative.
This knowledge made him excited. Now everyone knew that the Qing people had conquered Shanhaiguan and would soon take over the Central Plains. The world was in chaos, so it could be said that it was still unclear who owned the world.
These two families are definitely not the only ones who want to take this opportunity to venture into the capital, so should I also find a good ally to join them?
Zhu Changcheng, whom he was thinking about, was saying goodbye to his family at the moment. He patted his younger brother who was clutching his clothes tightly: "Okay, you are now the prince, why do you always look like a little kid who has not grown up?"
Childlike.
Prince Xiao Xiang flattened his mouth in grievance, looking like he would cry at any moment.
Zhu Changcheng touched his head: "Promise, brother, to protect yourself and the people in Prince Xiang's Mansion."
Zhu Changli raised his head and looked directly at his brother. After a moment of silence, he nodded vigorously: "Brother, I promise you." He took off the jade pendant hanging on Zhu Changcheng's waist and gave him another jade pendant in his hand.
: "You also promise me, brother, you will come back safely."
The two jade pendants were given to them after Zhu Changli was born. The princess passed away not long after Zhu Changli was born. King Xiang gave them a pair of identical jade pendants. The only difference was that the words engraved on them were different.
Zhu Changcheng looked at the jade pendant with "Li" engraved on it in his hand and stuffed it into his arms: "I know, I'm leaving."
Prince Xiaoxiang watched his brother go away, tightly grasping the jade pendant in his hand.
Zhu Changcheng turned the horse's head, and the people behind him left in a mighty manner. After walking for a while, a man next to him who looked a few years older than him came over and said, "Your brother looks quite similar to you.
"
Zhu Changcheng rolled his eyes at him and replied angrily: "We have the same father and mother, so we naturally look alike."
The man shook his head: "That's not necessarily true. You see, my brothers and I look nothing alike. They all say that I am definitely not my biological child."
Zhu Changcheng was silent. Although many people have indeed said this, is it really okay for you to just bring it up without any pain, Prince Yi?
This King Yi is rather miraculous. Although he has been a prince for several years, he does not have the consciousness or aura of a prince at all. Standing next to you, he looks like someone who is here to help with work.
This is indeed the case. Like Zhu Changcheng, he is the eldest son. After the death of King Yi, the old ministers of the family ensured that he succeeded him. However, this man did not know whether his mother ate the wrong things when he was born, and he was born with slow reactions.
.
When he became a prince, he had to look at the faces of his good brothers and provide food and drink for others. He was a veritable handyman.
The letter he sent this time was also the conclusion reached by his good brothers and several veterans to send troops after unanimous discussion. As for this good opportunity to die at any time, of course it fell on the prince's head, and he didn't know it.
Stupid or not, I agreed without saying a word.
Those old ministers must not be able to stand his weak temperament, so they will let him go if he wants to go.
Zhu Changcheng asked seemingly unintentionally: "Why did you come in person? You are the prince. It is the same as sending people to lead troops casually. You must know that this will really cost your life."
King Yi touched the back of his head, still smiling: "Am I the eldest brother? There is no reason to let the younger brother do this kind of thing. Don't you also leave your younger brother to do it yourself?"
Zhu Changcheng paused: "I'm different from you, that's my biological brother."
Zhu Youben spread his hands: "It's the same, they are also my biological brothers and biological sisters." He quickly added: "Of course, if I am my biological child and not picked up."
Zhu Changcheng couldn't understand his stupid head: "They may want you to die outside so that you can accept Prince Yi's palace legitimately. Even if you succeed, you won't get any benefits."
King Yi waved his riding crop repeatedly: "My father always told me that as the eldest child and a boy, I have the responsibility and obligation to protect and take care of my younger brothers and sisters. If they make any mistakes, I should correct them more and take care of them more."
.”
Zhu Changcheng sighed, this is not a fool. If such a comrade really went to the battlefield, he might be killed by the enemy before he was killed. He was too lazy to talk nonsense, and urged the horse to move a few steps faster, leaving King Yi behind.
later.
King Yi touched the back of his head, not sure what he said wrongly to make the young master unhappy, so he sped up and chased after him.
In a secluded valley, two people were gathering together and talking quietly. There was a map in front of them. It seemed that they were discussing their current location and the next route.
But if you look closer, you can hear that what they are talking about has nothing to do with it. The two of them are dressed like a master and servant. "Are you really sure that the dark ghost building belongs to King Rui? Is it as evil as the legend says?
?" asked the richly dressed man.
"If you have any doubts, you can try it yourself." The man in ordinary clothes responded.
"How to try this? I can't find someone to assassinate my brother. Besides, Mo Feng next to him seems to have tried some powerful roles."
"Your Majesty values friendship the most. He certainly can't bear to attack his own brother. There's no need to try it with Prince Rui. Isn't there a ready-made person next to him?"
"You mean, that little brat from Prince Heng?"
The man who looked like a servant smiled slyly: "King Rui can't always look after him, and Mo Feng doesn't have a good relationship with him. King Rui will definitely find someone to watch him secretly. If he can't even take down this King Heng who is alone from time to time,
You can probably understand that the Dark Ghost Tower is not as superficial as you imagined."
King Hui looked very tempted. King Rui had been giving in to this brat these past few days, but it was good for him. He was getting more and more aggressive and didn't know how to restrain himself. He himself had long wanted to teach him a lesson.
It would be best if you can kill him, and you can also try to see if the Dark Ghost Tower is really that amazing.
"What about this manpower?" "Don't worry, you don't need your help, this man is just a few gangsters who don't know whether to live or die. Even if Prince Rui wants to investigate, it has nothing to do with you."
King Hui nodded with satisfaction: "This is best. Then I would like to thank you for your kindness."
The servant lowered his head and whispered: "Someone is coming."
"Look, my lord, this is our current location. At this rate, we should be able to set up camp here before dark."
King Hui nodded pretendingly while his eyes drifted back to see who it was.
