Chapter 925 One dares to say it, the other dares to believe it
In addition to the eldest prince and the third prince, even the fourth prince Nangong Yuan, who was supported by the general's palace, was frightened after receiving the visit from the second prince Nangong Kaige to the general's palace.
"What did you say?
My second brother has returned from the border of the Western Region?"
"And you're going to visit my father-in-law as soon as you get here?"
"What is his intention?"
"Why so much fanfare?"
Nangong Yuan's face was gloomy and his brows were furrowed.
"Husband, don't be nervous. Don't you still believe in my father?"
A woman has passed away, comforting her with gentle words.
But Nangong Yuan threw him away, with a look of disgust on his face.
"Husband, what are you doing?"
The woman fell to the ground, her face full of grievance.
Nangongyuan realized it later and hurriedly helped the woman up and apologized repeatedly, "I'm really sorry. My husband was a little emotional just now and lost control. Madam, are you okay?"
Just in the blink of an eye, he seemed to be a different person.
From being rude and cruel just now, he became gentle and gentle.
"Husband, you don't love me at all, do you?"
The woman laughed at herself and said, "You married me and relied on me in everything just to get my father's full support, right?"
"Madam, what are you talking about?
Is my husband that kind of person?"
Nangong Yuan's face did not turn red, and his heart did not beat. He denied, "My husband married you really out of my love for you. If I had to make a choice between you and Jiang Shan, my husband would definitely choose you without hesitation."
!”
In order to make the other party believe it, he immediately raised his palms and swore firmly.
"Husband, I believe you love me!"
The woman was instantly moved and took the initiative to snuggle into Nangong Yuan's arms.
"You also know that the battle for the throne has now reached a critical moment of life and death. Any risk may plunge us into an abyss of eternal destruction. I am just making plans so that we can live a stable life in the future!"
First he said this softly, then Nangongyuan changed the topic and said: "Otherwise, why don't you go to the General's Mansion with me immediately and ask your father-in-law face to face why he wanted to welcome my second brother?"
When they entered the mansion, they discussed exactly what they discussed."
"Okay, as long as my husband asks me to do it, I'm willing to do anything!"
After the discussion was settled, Nangongyuan did not delay and immediately headed to the general's mansion with his wife.
…
General's Mansion.
"Second Prince, I wonder if you have come to my humble residence in person, what advice can you give me?"
After drinking for three rounds, General Long Guangzheng finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked tentatively.
At first, he thought that Nangong Kaige came here specially to challenge him.
But since Nangong Kaige was welcomed in, instead of making things difficult for him, the other party acted very close to him, changing from the original "General Long" to "Uncle Long".
This affectionate name made him confused.
He openly supports his son-in-law Nangong Yuan.
This is a well-known thing!
No matter how little information is available about the Second Prince, it is impossible not to know about it.
Therefore, Nangong Kaige's behavior really made him a little unpredictable.
"Uncle Long, I believe you have also seen that the various forces in the imperial capital are now fighting openly and covertly for it, and it has reached the point where they will never stop fighting!"
Nangong Kaige first explained the general situation, then changed the topic and said: "Uncle Long, do you still remember why you suggested that I go to the border of the Western Region to join the army ten years ago?"
As soon as these words came out.
Long Guangzheng's expression became even more embarrassed.
Ten years ago, it was indeed him who suggested that Nangong Kaige go to the border to join the army.
Moreover, at that time, when the power of their general's palace was at its peak, he also intended to support the second prince, whom he favored, to ascend to power.
Because Nangong Kaige is upright and has a bold personality, which is quite similar to him.
And his original plan was to betroth his daughter to the other party in order to consolidate their general's mansion and the status of their Long family in the Yong'an Empire.
However, despite his repeated hints, Nangong Kaige acted like a fool. Not only was he unmoved, he kept saying that he was only thinking about his future and would not consider his children's personal affairs for the time being, and asked him not to mention this matter again in the future.
He started to get a little angry at that time.
But what made him most angry was that before Nangong Kaige was about to go to the border of the Western Region, he couldn't help but mention it again.
And this time it was made more straightforwardly.
He asked directly, "Second Prince, what do you think the little girl Long Simin looks like?"
Unexpectedly, Nangong Kaige became furious, "General Long, who do you think I am?
I regard you as my father, and your daughter Long Simin is just like my sister. If I care about her beauty, wouldn't I be worse than a beast?"
Such an astonishing answer left him speechless for a moment.
Since then, he has finally stopped mentioning the matter.
But at the same time, he no longer placed his hope on the second prince Nangong Kaige.
Now that the other party suddenly mentioned what happened back then, he was not only embarrassed, but also felt ashamed and angry.
Because ten years ago, all his actions were tantamount to putting a hot face on a cold butt.
Now that Nangong Kaige is bringing up old matters again, could it be that he wants to humiliate him?
"Uncle Long, you won't forget, right?"
Seeing that Long Guangzheng was silent, Nangong Kaige repeated: "I went to join the army at the border of the Western Region, but it was your suggestion. You won't really forget it, right?"
"Uh... I didn't forget!"
No matter how angry he was, being stared at by Nangong Kaige like this, Long Guangzheng still shook his head in embarrassment.
"It's good that you haven't forgotten!"
Nangong Kaige said happily: "You said at that time that as long as we control the 300,000 troops on the border of the Western Region, we can lay a solid foundation for the future fight for the throne!"
"And now, I've done it!"
"Uncle Long, I didn't disappoint you, did I?"
Nangong Kaige spoke impassionedly, but Long Guangzheng was so depressed that he almost vomited blood.
Your mother, you did it, but what’s the use now?
My daughter is married to your fourth brother. What do you mean by telling me this?
No matter how depressed he was, he looked into Nangong Kaige's excited eyes. Seeing the sincerity on his face, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and respond: "Second Prince, you have indeed done it. It is really gratifying and congratulatory!"
Nangong Kaige was waiting for Long Guangzheng's words and said impatiently: "Since I have not disappointed you, can you fulfill your original promise and help me win the throne in one fell swoop?"
Long Guangzheng: "..."
The generals who were acting as foils around him all looked at each other in shock, dripping with cold sweat.
Could it be that the second prince Nangong Kaige is really a fool?
However, what happened next made them even more stunned...
"To be honest, I returned to the imperial capital from the border of the Western Region this time just to compete for the throne!"
Ignoring the strange looks from the people around him, Nangong Kaige raised his glass and faced Long Guangzheng and the generals present from afar, "Come on, let me toast you all. I believe that with the help of all the generals, it won't be a big deal to win the throne."
