Although this time, Dongchang and Jinyiwei worked together to protect the safety of Tumu Fortress.
But Jinyiwei is only responsible for the outer perimeter, and the gate of the Tumu Fort cannot be crossed even half a step.
Coupled with the recent rumors, the emperor has neglected Xiao Chen. Even as a leader of the two camps, Dongchang and Jinyiwei, Liu Rufeng had to come to the gate of Tumubao when the emperor was traveling if he wanted to meet Xiao Chen.
, let the captain of Dongchang go to report.
Seeing Liu Rufeng, the captain at the door quickly stood at attention and saluted: "Liu Qianhu, are you in trouble?"
The captain of Dongchang naturally knew Liu Rufeng, but in most cases, Liu Rufeng and his team were patrolling nearby.
This was the first time that I took the initiative to come to the gate of Tumubao.
"Is Master Ziyi here?" Liu Rufeng looked around.
"Here, does Liu Qianhu need his subordinates to go in and report?" the captain asked.
"No, go in and tell him to come to Jinyiwei camp to see me for something important." After saying this, Liu Rufeng turned and left.
In the Tumu Fort, Xiao Chen had already gotten up before the emperor set out. However, he did not leave the house, but stayed quietly in his room.
Make a cup of tea, cross your legs, and sip it leisurely.
Even if the sky falls, Xiao Chen's character will not panic, let alone, the sky has not fallen yet.
There was a sound of footsteps approaching from far away, and then there was a slight knock on the door.
"Come in." Xiao Chen responded, holding the tea bowl.
"Creak", the door was gently pushed open, "Brother Xiao, just now Liu Rufeng Qianhu from Jinyiwei came to the door and asked you to find him."
The captain reported softly.
"Liu Rufeng?" Hearing this, Xiao Chen put down the tea bowl in his hand and stood up, "He didn't say anything?"
"No, I just want to talk about something else," the captain replied.
"Walk."
Liu Rufeng's tent was as simple as ever. However, a layer of canvas was spread on the ground, so that there was no longer as much moisture in the entire tent as before.
Opening the door curtain, Xiao Chen walked in with a smile: "Look, this canvas bed will look different immediately."
"Thank you, Brother Xiao." Liu Fufeng hurriedly hugged his hands and thanked him.
The canvas on the ground was sent over immediately after Xiao Chen returned.
There are no other luxuries. Dongchang prepared a lot of this kind of moisture-proof canvas when he went out.
"Why are you so polite? If you're more polite, I'll take it away." Xiao Chen smiled, walked to the fire, and sat down.
Although the tent was covered with canvas, it was still cold. Liu Rufeng had no choice but to divide the canvas into several pieces and spread them on the ground. The fire in the middle of the tent continued to remain.
The people sitting next to the fire were still the same stones.
Sitting on the stone, Xiao Chen turned around and said, "I'm talking about Liu Qianhu, you are also Qianhu of Jinyiwei after all. It's not too difficult to get some chairs, even benches, for the tent, right? You said you have such a shabby place to live.
, are you not particular about it, or are you really unable to get the furnishings?"
"When you go out, you just need a place to sleep. This time Jin Yiwei went out, he didn't bring a lot of supplies, and I didn't want to open my mouth." Next to Xiao Chen, Liu Rufeng also sat down by the fire.
"You, I really can't do anything to you? Are you looking for me, has King Zhao been here?" Xiao Chen picked up a piece of firewood and started to poke the fire.
It was as if he couldn't find anything to do except poke a few fires.
"Well, last night, it was already very late, and King Zhao came to Jinyiwei." Liu Rufeng said.
"What did he say?" Xiao Chen smiled faintly, as if he was not surprised by King Zhao's arrival.
Liu Rufeng turned around and looked at Xiao Chen nervously: "King Zhao wants to use your power to fight against the emperor."
"Hahaha," Xiao Chen laughed, "This wishful thinking of King Zhao is a good one."
"King Zhao said, let me get as close to you as possible, to fight for your injustice and to plead guilty for you." After saying that, Liu Rufeng stood up, walked to his little bed, pulled out a wine jar from under the bed, and hugged him over.
"King Zhao knows that you like to drink, so he left this jar specially for me." Liu Rufeng said.
Xiao Chen turned around, took the wine jar over, and looked at it carefully.
"King Zhao said that this is old Nervhong." Liu Rufeng explained.
"Know yourself and your enemy and you will win every battle. It's not easy for King Zhao. He even knows that I love drinking." Xiao Chen smiled and took off the seal on the wine jar.
A sweet aroma of wine wafted out instantly.
"Good wine." Xiao Chen praised, then picked up the wine jar and put it to his mouth.
"Wait a minute," Liu Rufeng stopped him, took out a silver needle from his waist, and put it into the jar.
After a moment, he took out the silver needle. Looking at the silver needle, which was still as white as jade, he smiled and said, "Drink."
Xiao Chen didn't say anything. He picked up the jar and drank a few sips. Then he put it down and wiped his mouth with his sleeve: "Good wine. It has been stored in the cellar for at least ten years."
Seeing Xiao Chen put down the wine jar, Liu Rufeng looked at Xiao Chen with a puzzled expression: "This wine was left by King Zhao, aren't you afraid that there is something in it?"
"There is something, what is there? Poison? Didn't you try it just now?" Xiao Chen laughed.
"If I don't try, why don't you just drink it?" Liu Rufeng said a little dissatisfied.
"Hey," Xiao Chen picked up the wine jar and took another big sip, "King Zhao still expects me to have a conflict with the emperor. How could he poison the wine? Even if he poisons it, it will happen in the future."
"That's right." Liu Rufeng laughed awkwardly.
Just now I cautiously tested the poison, but it seemed that it was unnecessary.
"However, I am still very grateful to Liu Qianhu. The fact that you can test the poison shows that you still care about my life." Xiao Chen patted Liu Fufeng on the shoulder.
"That's natural. Although what Brother Xiao did was a bit cruel, it was all for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. Not only me, but also many brothers in Jinyiwei admire Brother Xiao's daring style.
Besides, as the prince, it is understandable for King Zhao to strive for the throne, but I still can’t stand the method he used." Liu Rufeng said.
"Winning or losing, there are some things that you have to watch even if you don't understand them." Xiao Chen stood up with his hands on his knees, "I am very grateful to Liu Qianhu for informing me of King Zhao's plan in time. Thank you also to King Zhao for his advice.
Good wine, hahaha.”
"There are rumors outside that Brother Xiao has been ignored by the emperor. These should be the results of King Zhao's instigation. I am only worried that he may take further actions next." Liu Rufeng also stood up.
"The soldiers are coming to cover up the water and the earth. Just take it one step at a time. However, Liu Qianhu needs to remind your people more to stand in line in time. Don't make a mistake and regret it forever." Staring at Liu Rufeng, Xiao Chen's expression
Become serious.
"I know that neither I nor my brothers in Jinyiwei will stand on the side of King Zhao."
