This emperor is too strong!

Chapter 54
At nightfall, the nine men in black respectfully bid farewell to Xia Ao, and then quietly left under the leadership of the personal guard captain Guo Da.

After a stick of incense, Rong Luo arrived.

"His Royal Highness, the crown prince sent someone to send an invitation card, please go to the East Palace Garden to participate in the banquet."

Prince?

Xia Ao's eyes flickered slightly, and after tapping on the armrest for a while, he suddenly revealed a vague smile.

Shangguan Wan'er accepted the invitation, smiled and let Rong Luo leave.

"Your Highness, from the looks of it, the Crown Prince is afraid that he already knows about the secret meeting between you and Xia Kui today, and he must be very unhappy, or even have other thoughts."

"However, this may also be an opportunity."

Xia Ao smiled, nodded lightly and said: "You are right, this is indeed an opportunity. Although the emperor is always thinking of the prince, there is a high probability that he will not tell the prince about some things."

"Since the emperor wants to order Xia Kui to make a sword, then Gu will use Xia Chang as a sledgehammer, borrow this sledgehammer, and smash his sword to pieces!"

"Get ready, let's go to the banquet!"

"Yes!"

……

East Palace Garden.

"Sixth brother! Hahaha, you are finally here! Hurry up, hurry up, take the seat with brother!"

In the banquet hall, seeing Xia Ao's arrival, Xia Chang was overjoyed, and even took the initiative to laugh and pull Xia Ao's arm, intending to pull it to the innermost seat to sit with him.

Xia Ao blinked and said with a smile: "Brother Prince, you can't do this. There is a difference between superiors and inferiors. Outside, you need to pretend to maintain the illusion that you and I are at odds, but it can't be done here."

After finishing speaking, Xia Ao glanced at Gu Ruoyun who was standing with a smile on the side table next to the chair.

"Sister-in-law Dong, do you think so?"

Because she is the concubine of the Eastern Palace, the Crown Princess is also called the Eastern Concubine. It is fine for Xia Ao to call her the Crown Princess or the Eastern Concubine, but both titles are somewhat formal.

Right now there is no outsider in this banquet hall, it is obviously a private banquet, calling Dongsao a bit cliche, but it can show intimacy.

While asking with a smile, Xia Ao's eyes seemed to have deep meaning.

Gu Ruoyun smiled as usual, as if she didn't see Xia Ao's meaningful eyes.

"Prince, don't make things difficult for the sixth younger brother."

Hearing Gu Ruoyun speak, Xia Chang borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, shook his head and smiled, and led Xia Ao to the guest seats.

"It doesn't matter, let's invite Sixth Brother to sit quickly."

When Xia Ao was seated, Xia Chang was not in a hurry to ask any questions, but just arranged singing and dancing to add to the fun, and at the same time kept talking about various interesting things.

It wasn't until after drinking for three rounds and the atmosphere became lively that Xia Chang waved back the servants.

"Sixth brother, I heard that you went to Lanke Mountain to hunt and relax today?"

Xia Chang asked casually, as if casually.

Xia Ao smiled, nodded and said: "That's the case, but to be precise, Fifth Brother actually asked me to go."

"Oh?"

Xia Chang couldn't help being taken aback, showing surprise.

After glancing at Gu Ruoyun, Xia Chang said with great interest, "The old five asked you out? What did he ask you out for? Could it be that he wanted to hunt some big guy?"

Xia Ao took a sip of his wine and said with a smile: "Brother Prince guessed right, Fifth Brother indeed asked me to hunt a big guy, and it was a very big guy..."

Xia Chang's smile froze slightly, and he said with a blunt smile, "Sixth Brother, this big, big guy, could it be me?"

Xia Ao tilted his head, playing with his taste: "As expected of you, Brother Prince, you can see through it at one point."

Xia Chang's pupils shrank slightly, and his eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Sixth brother, it's not easy to joke around like this, fifth brother, does he really want to mess around?"

"Brother Prince, do you think it's possible for me to talk nonsense about this kind of thing?"

Xia Ao curled his lips, his expression suddenly became serious.

"Let me tell you the truth, Fifth Brother, what he means is: I have offended you, and I will pose a great threat to you; and he once wanted to take your throne, so if you ascend the throne, we both have to die!"

"Therefore, he persuaded me to join hands with him, kill you directly, and then help me sit on the throne..."

Hearing this, Xia Chang's expression darkened, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"Then the sixth brother is not tempted?"

Xia Ao gave Xia Chang a blank look, and said angrily, "Brother Prince, what are you talking about? I'm so tired of being an emperor, so I don't have that interest! How cool is it?"

"When you get on the throne safely and securely, I'll just be a happy and carefree prince. Why do I need to worry about those important things?"

Xia Chang squinted his eyes, although he was a little suspicious in his heart, but he laughed heartily on his face.

"Hahaha, I knew the sixth brother was a good guy!"

"Sixth brother, don't worry, as long as your brother succeeds in ascending the throne, you will be the Iron Hat Happy King that no one in Great Xia can challenge! At that time, you can do whatever you want!"

"Thank you in advance for my brother."

Xia Ao smiled and raised his glass.

Xia Chang also raised his glass and touched it in the air. After drinking the wine in the glass, he said softly: "Sixth brother, fifth brother, what do you plan to do?"

"I'm really not sure about this, because at that time I refused directly."

Xia Ao shook his head, then seemed to think of something, patted his head and said: "Oh, by the way, Fifth Brother mentioned that he wants to use the army to surround and kill you! As for which army is he referring to, he can Did not say."

"However, I can see that he is very determined, as if he has a plan in his chest, and I think he is very confident."

"army?"

Xia Chang squinted his eyes and frowned deeply.

"The fifth one can also get involved in the army? Isn't that right..."

At this time, Gu Ruoyun suddenly spoke.

"Maybe King Wei's so-called army is not an organized army, but a small branch, or a small part of the army indirectly controlled by controlling a certain general."

"After all, he just wants to surround and kill the prince, not directly provoke a big war."

Xia Ao clapped his hands and praised: "As expected of Mrs. Dong, this insight is much deeper than that of my younger brother."

Gu Ruoyun's ears suddenly felt hot, as if she was stimulated by a certain word.

Xia Chang rubbed his brows, and thoughtfully said: "A small part, and he still has a lot of confidence, could it be... the Habayashi Army, or the Imperial Army?"

"Huh? That's right! Why didn't I think of it?"

Xia Ao stared and screamed.

"Brother Prince, you are almost always surrounded by powerful guards. Even if there are hundreds of troops besieging and killing you, they will not be able to hurt you for a while."

"However, there is one exception, and that is when you enter the palace! If the fifth brother controls a young general of the imperial army, then the other party can lead the army to attack you, brother prince, while you have no strong guards around you! "

"If that's the case, then..."

Xia Ao didn't say the following words, but the three of them naturally understood the meaning, and Xia Chang was shocked on the spot, breaking out in a cold sweat, startled and angry.

"This damned fifth, he's looking for death!"

Xia Ao pursed his lips, and said hesitantly: "Brother Prince, I should be the witness for this matter. Even if you kill Fifth Brother, it is completely justified. After all, he was the one who wanted to murder you first."

"It's just that, after all, he is our brother. I'm afraid it's not easy to explain to the father. If not, we should report to the father and ask the father to be the master?"
