Chapter 358
Kyoto.

Prince. In the palace.

"Sir, no, just like what Jing Xuan said just now, a country cannot live without a king, and the Song Dynasty cannot live without a King Taiping. I also point to the help of my husband to stabilize my country in the Song Dynasty. Therefore, Jing Xuan It is decided to hand over the military power of the Song Dynasty to Mr., and hope that Mr. can keep my Song Dynasty prosperous forever!"

Zhao Jingxuan waved his hands and said seriously.

Hearing Zhao Jingxuan's words, Xiao Jun was really a little surprised, holding the military power of the Song Dynasty, this is not a joke.

"Come on!"

At this time, Zhao Jingxuan had already shouted towards the outside of the hall.

As soon as the words fell, a young eunuch walked in quickly, holding a brocade box in both hands, and came to Xiao Jun respectfully.

"gentlemen."

Zhao Jingxuan looked at Xiao Jun, smiled, and while speaking, pointed to the brocade box that the little eunuch was holding in both hands, motioning for Xiao Jun to open it.

Xiao Jun frowned, hesitated, and stretched out his hand to open the brocade box, only to see that there was a tiger-head soldier talisman in the brocade box, which symbolized the commanding power of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Song Dynasty.

"His Royal Highness, I have already said that I am not interested in the court affairs, and naturally I don't want to get involved too deeply. I'm afraid I will disappoint Your Highness."

Xiao Jun just glanced at the soldier talisman, then closed the lid of the brocade box, turned his head and cupped his fists at Zhao Jingxuan, and said calmly.

"Sir, do you really want to refuse? I really need a husband, and the Song Dynasty also needs a husband."

Zhao Jingxuan looked at Xiao Jun with some disappointment, and said in frustration.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness."

Xiao Jun shook his head, still persisting.

As the words fell, Xiao Jun reached into his arms, took out the Qilin soldier talisman, and put it on the brocade box.

Seeing Xiao Jun's actions, a gleam flashed in Zhao Jingxuan's eyes, followed by a trace of puzzlement and surprise, and he looked at Xiao Jun blankly.

"What do you mean sir?"

Zhao Jingxuan asked suspiciously.

"Since I don't intend to intervene in the affairs of the court, it is useless to keep this Qilin soldier talisman. I just take this opportunity to return it to His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness will keep it from now on."

Xiao Jun cupped his fists and said lightly.

"Sir, the Qilin Army was handed over to you by the emperor before his death. If you don't want to take charge of the military power, I will not force you, but this is absolutely impossible."

The prince shook his head and said, a little apprehensive.

"Your Highness, I've made up my mind, and I won't bother with court affairs in the future, so it's meaningless to keep this unicorn soldier talisman. It's better to return it to the original owner."

Xiao Jun insisted.

"Since the husband has decided to go, then Jingxuan will not force him, but I hope that when Da Song encounters a crisis in the future, the husband will not really stand by and watch."

Zhao Jingxuan looked at Xiao Jun regretfully, and said meaningfully.

"His Royal Highness, don't worry, as long as His Royal Highness is useful in the future, I will do my best."

Xiao Jun nodded and said.

"Okay, with Mr.'s words, Jing Xuan is relieved."

Zhao Jingxuan nodded, and breathed a sigh of relief while speaking.

After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Xiao Jun bid farewell to Zhao Jingxuan, left the prince's palace, and left the palace accompanied by Chu Fei.

outside the palace,
In the Humvee.

Xiao Jun stood on the shaft of the chariot, turned around and looked at the palace behind him, which symbolized majesty and hidden too many swords, lights and swords, shook his head, and sighed secretly.

Although there is only one wall separating them, there are too many shady intrigues hidden in this deep palace compound, intrigues, and murder without blood.

He has had enough, from now on, he will not intervene in the struggle between you and me in the court.

The Hummer drove slowly and left in the direction of the No. [-] Tianxia Building.

"Sir go slow."

Chu Fei saluted the Humvee respectfully and said loudly.

He saw all the things that happened in the hall just now, and finally understood the cryptic advice that Xiao Jun gave him several times.But he is just a small commander in front of the palace, and he can't change anything at all. To put it bluntly, he is just a pawn randomly placed within the palace wall.

The first floor in the world.

When Xiao Jun returned to the branch hall, as soon as he entered the hall, he saw Wang Yuyan who had been waiting in the hall for a long time.

"Are you okay?"

Wang Yuyan looked at Xiao Jun, who was a little depressed, and asked with concern.

"fine."

Xiao Jun shook his head, showing a forced smile, and sat down at a table.

"What is the prince looking for you for?"

Wang Yuyan poured a cup of tea for Xiao Jun, and asked curiously.

"Nothing, just some small talk."

Xiao Jun said with a smile.

He didn't intend to tell Wang Yuyan what happened in the palace, because he didn't want Wang Yuyan to worry.Because smart people would know as soon as they heard it, the prince's summoning, which looked like a reunion after a long absence, was actually just a seizure of power.

Handing over the military power to him was actually testing him. If he really accepted it, he might not live in peace from now on. Zhao Jingxuan would definitely not let him go.

It's not that he's afraid of anything, but that he doesn't want to put his knife on Zhao Jingxuan's neck one day in the future.

That's why he handed over the unicorn soldier talisman to draw a clear line with Zhao Jingxuan.

three days later.

The first floor in the world.

Just when Xiao Jun unloaded all his burdens and planned to stay in the capital city for a few days, a piece of news made him fall into irritability again.

On this day, just as Xiao Jun accompanied Wang Yuyan to play in the city and returned to the branch hall, he saw Xue Muhua anxiously waiting at the door of the building.

"Holy Master, you are finally back, something happened."

Seeing Xiao Jun coming back, Xue Muhua rushed to greet him, and said with a solemn expression.

"What's wrong!?"

Seeing Xue Muhua's appearance, Xiao Jun couldn't help frowning, thinking that something happened to Tianmen.

"Just received the news that the prince has replaced many important positions in the court with his own people. It seems that he wants to have a big cleansing."

Xue Muhua said with a solemn expression.

"Those people are all loyal to Song Zhezong. If he wants to secure his throne, it is understandable to promote his confidants. It's just a little earlier than expected, but there is nothing wrong with it. This matter has nothing to do with us. Relationship, can't control it."

Xiao Jun frowned after hearing Xue Muhua's words, then shook his head and said.

Knowing that it was not about Tianmen, he was also relieved.

"But he killed all those old officials!"

Xue Muhua said in a deep voice.

"what?!"

After hearing Xue Muhua's words, Xiao Jun's eyes widened in surprise, he did not expect Zhao Jingxuan's methods to be so vicious.

"In three days, no less than ten people have been killed. They were all former officials. It is said that they were all summoned by the prince before they were killed. They died strangely after returning home. If it was just one or two, it could be called an accident. , but if so many people died all at once, it must be the crown prince's fault."

Xue Muhua glanced outside the building and said in a low voice.

"He's too anxious!"

Xiao Jun narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice.

He couldn't help thinking of Zhao Jingxuan's summoning that day, and wondered if he had really accepted the military power Zhao Jingxuan gave him that day, would someone have come to kill him now?
