Chapter 131 The King's Obsession

Nandan Palace, Royal Study Room.

Prime Minister Wu Heng picked up a secret report that King Nandan threw in front of him, feeling terrified.

The crown prince Yanyou is poisoned, and the monarch wants to slow down the attack on our borders. The advance troops of the Yiqi Army have arrived, but the figure of the Fourth Highness has not yet been seen.

After closing the secret report, Wu Heng didn't dare to speak rashly, seeing His Majesty's expression, he was afraid that he was very dissatisfied with the fourth prince's actions.If you suspend the dispatch of troops, then the previous plan to invade the territory on the basis of resistance...

"It's the widow who was careless. I thought that by sending him to guard the border, he could use his Yiqi army to do something, heh! Who would have thought that this kid would split up with the widow! There is no war at the border, it's true Let them have a free time!"

Your Majesty's words are both inside and out, why does it sound like he is targeting the Fourth Highness...Could it be...

Wu Heng cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. How can you easily give up your desire to invade our country because of your wolfish ambition? A few days ago, the Yiqi Army made remarkable achievements at the border. Just after returning to Yujing, they were sent Going to the border, the soldiers are probably exhausted and need to rest. Your majesty, why not relax and let them recover at the border. As for the fourth highness, he has rich experience in leading troops and fighting, and he may have his own Considering, all in all, I believe that Fourth Highness will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations, and our Nandan Kingdom is growing stronger and stronger, just around the corner!"

After contemplating for a long time, Nandan King's expression softened: "What you said is not unreasonable, then, you are inclined to let the fourth child inherit my Nandan lineage, right?"

The heart of an emperor is as deep as the sea, and he has a high position and authority. If he supports the Fourth Highness, it may bring him unnecessary trouble.

Wu Heng smiled frankly: "Your Majesty, for all countries, the establishment of an heir is an important measure to stabilize the hearts of the people and consolidate the foundation. In my view, the princes are all dragons and phoenixes, outstanding talents, and that is because they are all Your Majesty. My son, as for who will inherit the throne in the future, His Majesty is much clearer than our short-sighted courtiers. Thanks to His Majesty's love, as the minister of a country, I have to mention the matter of establishing an heir several times, Your Majesty It's the prime of life, minister, you are indeed talking too much... I hope His Majesty will make amends!"

Taking back the secret report, King Nandan waved his hand:
"That's all! You are also in his position, seeking his own government. Since you don't feel wrong with this matter, then just wait and see what happens, and step down!"

"Yes, I retire!"

Seeing Wu Heng's figure disappear at the door, Wang Nandan smiled and said, "Hmph! Old fox!"

The curtain of the inner room was lifted, and Teng Xuanxiao walked out slowly.

"Father, our 200,000-strong army has already set out, and if Yan ceases his troops at this time, isn't it a waste of effort?"

Picking up the torch and lighting the secret report, and throwing it into the incense burner, King Nandan turned around and said:
"Then think of a way to make them have to send troops!"

"Father means..."

"Prince Yanyou has a strange poison in his body. If the antidote is in the hands of the commander of the Yiqi army stationed at the border, do you think they will ask for it or grab it?"

Gritting her teeth, Teng Xuanxiao smiled:

"Father Wang is wise, the child is in awe!"

Patting Teng Xuanxiao on the shoulder, King Nandan asked: "The widow asked you to secretly investigate the spies, what's the matter?
"This...baby...is incompetent and has no clue yet."

"Hahahaha..." King Nandan suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Xiao'er, Xiao'er, you sent someone to visit the palace at night, isn't it because you suspect that your elder brother has something wrong?"

Teng Xuanxiao showed panic and hurriedly knelt down:

"Father!"

"Okay! Get up! The widow knows that you are cold-hearted and warm-hearted, and you care about brotherhood. You don't say a lot of things, but the widow knows it! Anyway, he is also the eldest son of the widow. You would rather bear the burden of being punished by the widow." Risk, and I don’t want to embarrass others. How can I not know your filial piety? Forget it, give him another chance! Things are complicated in the court recently. When you have nothing to do, come to Father Wang to help share some! "

Lowering her head, Teng Xuanxiao raised the corners of her mouth: "My child obeys the order!"

On the way back to the house, Teng Xuanxiao's fist has not been loosened: the father originally planned to wait for Yiqi's general Yan to be exhausted by the army before making a move. For this reason, he could not sleep or eat, and was worried.Fortunately, the eldest brother's selfish desires helped the fourth brother once, but the eldest brother never expected that Hengcang would be defeated in the frontier battle before!After being rescued back to Yangyou, he has been unable to take the antidote for a long time. The eldest brother will not give up this chess piece easily, and he will definitely try to send someone close to Hengcang...

The father had already found out some things secretly, and today's temptation was nothing more than a test of whether he had the heart of disobedience!Everyone knows the "resentment" between me and my eldest son, but I absolutely cannot confront my eldest son again, no matter what the reason is!
Back in the mansion, Teng Xuanxiao walked towards the birdcage, which was given to him by Nine Crowns before leaving. If he wanted to protect the Yiqi Army, there was only one way...

"Come on!"

A servant hurried forward: "What orders does Your Highness have?"

"Notify the secret spies in Yanyou and let them spread the news that the antidote to the prince's poison is in the hands of the fourth prince of Nandan Kingdom, and the fourth prince is at the border right now!"

"Yes!"

Close to the birdcage, whispered a few words, Teng Xuanxiao opened the cage door, and the little black sparrow flew straight into the air.

Nandan border.

Mu Yan looked around, feeling very confused:
The entire Yiqi army has arrived, so why not see the border guards stationed there?There is no trace of war here, and if there is no will, the guards can't be transferred away without permission... If there is a reason to commit an offense at this time... it's broken!
Counting the days, the Fourth Highness and the others should have arrived long ago, so something happened in the middle, right?
"Report..." A young soldier hurried in: "General Mu, the Fourth Highness and the others have arrived!"

Thank goodness it's coming!
All the generals gathered outside the tent, and when they saw Teng Xuanyi coming on horseback, they all stepped forward to greet them, knelt down and shouted: "Fourth Highness!"

Seeing that everyone is well, Teng Xuanyi's heart instantly felt relieved. After he jumped off the horse and greeted everyone, he pointed to the carriage that came after him and said:
"Get some people to help them tidy up."

Looking at the girls who jumped off the carriage one by one, Mu Yan frowned: "Your Highness, why are you... oh, it's Miss Zixi, hehe, have you bought another maid for her?"

"It's a long story. They must be properly settled. Where is the general of the border guards? Let him come to see me!"

"Your Highness, for some reason, the guards have been transferred from this place. When we arrived, there was no one there."

Teng Xuanyi's face sank: "Oh? Are there traces of war?"

"No."

snort!Is the father planning to use the Yiqi Army as cannon fodder...

"Father!" Xin Ruo happily ran to Mu Yan's side. The father and daughter hadn't seen each other for a while, and they missed each other very much.

"Good boy, let me take a look, um, I've lost a lot of weight, must I be exhausted from the bumps all the way!"

"Don't worry, I'm fine. I'll go clean up first, and I'll talk to you later."

Mu Yan nodded, looking at Xin Ruo's thin back, feeling a little guilty: This child's life is hard, and it is rare to live a stable life in Yi Wang's Mansion for a few years, but now, he has been dragged into dire straits, alas...

Teng Xuanyi saw Mu Yan's thoughts: "Don't worry! Now, someone is more nervous than you, Xin Ruo, and she will definitely not be put in danger!"

"Ah? Your Highness means..."

Looking at those disheveled men, Mu Yan was both excited and apprehensive. It would be a good thing if someone could take care of Xinruo, but what if it wasn't true to her...

"May I ask Your Highness, which one is it?"

"Well... which one do you prefer?"

"This……"

Don't think about the fifth and sixth princes, the royal family is so fickle, Xinruo must not have anything to do with them!Luo Yiyao?It's not bad, but it's too weak; the rest of them seem to be interested in Miss Zixi...

"Your Majesty really can't figure it out, Your Highness, please don't be fooled!"

Seeing Mu Yan so anxious, Teng Xuanyi smiled:

"Although it doesn't make money to play tricks, it's... quite fun! Observe for yourself, I'm tired, I need to take a good bath and have a rest!"

"Hey?"

Teng Xuanyi's back is still majestic, but when did he change his gender?fun?This is still the unsmiling and cold Fourth Highness!
Everyone took a hot bath and had a sound sleep. In the evening, they were invited to Teng Xuanyi's camp. Of course, there was a girl who was dragged and begged by everyone. Walking, yawning never stopped...
