The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Chapter 340 The Terrible King of Chu
On a luxurious ship on the Jinling River, some young people were drinking and having fun, which was very lively.

Li Jue sat on the deck, drinking and admiring the moonlight tonight.

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps, and then Fang Zhimiao was seen walking over quickly.When he saw Li Jue sitting alone on the deck drinking and having fun, he couldn't help but said angrily: "I'll go around to help you find the tenth prince. It's better for you to drink wine leisurely here by yourself."

Seeing Fang Zhimiao's furious look, Li Jue knew that he had not found the tenth prince.

Fang Zhimiao sat opposite Li Jue, exuding the aura of "I'm very angry" all over his body.

Li Jue ignored the angry Fang Zhimiao and continued to pour and drink.

Fang Zhimiao snatched the wine bottle from Li Jue's hand, then raised his head and drank heavily.While drinking, he cursed angrily: "Damn it, did the tenth prince escape from heaven? After searching for so long, not even a shadow was found." After saying that, he thought of another possibility, "The tenth prince has escaped." Could it be that you have already left Jinling?"

"No, he is still in Jinling." Li Jue picked up another pot of wine, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank gracefully, "He did not go to Yangzhou either."

"Still in Jinling?" Fang Zhimiao shouted, "Our people have dug three feet into the ground in Jinling, but they haven't found even a hair. How can they still be in Jinling?"

Li Jue said: "Someone hid the tenth prince very well."

"Who has this ability?" In the past few days, Fang Zhimiao has been looking for the tenth prince, but he searched the entire Jinling City several times and still couldn't find him, which made him very angry. "The entire Jinling City belongs to us, who can hide the tenth prince under our noses?"

This is what Li Jue couldn't figure out.

"Even if the emperor sent secret guards to secretly rescue the tenth prince, no matter how capable they are, they can't hide the tenth prince so tightly. It's also impossible that there won't be any clues." Fang Zhimiao personally found someone. But he couldn't find it, which made him very embarrassed. "The tenth prince is just like disappearing from the world."

Li Jue frowned slightly and said nothing.Just like what Fang Zhimiao said just now, the entire Jinling City belongs to them. Who has the ability to take away the tenth prince under their noses and hide the tenth prince so tightly that they can't find him at all? arrive.

There is no such powerful person in Jinling City.

"I still think that the Tenth Prince has left Jinling. If he is still in Jinling, there is no way I can't find him." Fang Zhimiao speculated, "Not everyone among us has seen the Tenth Prince. The Tenth Prince is in disguise. For example, if you pretend to be a beggar, our people won't be able to find out. I guess the tenth prince must have left Aurous Hill in disguise."

Li Jue also thought about this possibility, but he intuitively felt that the tenth prince had not left Jinling.His intuition is always accurate and cannot go wrong.

"Did you just say that the tenth prince might be disguised as a beggar?"

"I'm just talking casually." Fang Zhimiao felt that Zhao Yao was a noble prince after all, and it was impossible to pretend to be a beggar. This would be too disrespectful.

"Tomorrow we will put up the tenth prince's portrait in the city and offer a huge reward."

"This... is not good. No matter how much you call the tenth prince a prince." Fang Zhimiao felt that what they did was too arrogant. "Didn't you say that the tenth prince was probably rescued by the emperor? That means the emperor sent people to Jinling, and we offered a reward to the tenth prince in front of the emperor's people. This... is too... disrespectful of the emperor. It’s in your eyes.”

Li Jue glanced at Fang Zhimiao and said in an indifferent tone: "When did I take the emperor seriously?"

"Yes, yes, you are arrogant and don't take anyone seriously." Fang Zhimiao said angrily, "You are amazing, you are amazing."

"They are not the emperor's people. The emperor did not send anyone to rescue the tenth prince." Li Jue initially thought that the emperor sent secret guards to rescue the tenth prince, but the prince said in the letter that the emperor did not send anyone to rescue the tenth prince.

"What, didn't the emperor send someone to rescue the tenth prince?" Fang Zhimiao looked shocked, "Who is that?"

Li Jue was too lazy to answer Fang Zhimiao's question.If he knew who saved the tenth prince, why could he not find the tenth prince for so long?

Fang Zhimiao's mind was spinning quickly, and he said with a surprised look on his face: "You can't be from King Chu, right?"

"It's not impossible." Li Jue felt that nine out of ten people were from King Chu, and only people from King Chu had the ability to rescue the tenth prince from under his nose.

"There are actually people from King Chu in Jinling City, and we didn't even notice it!" Fang Zhimiao gasped in shock, with a face full of horror, "King Chu can actually plant people under our noses without knowing it, this is ...This..." He was too shocked to speak.Don't blame him for being so frightened, because their family has been rooted in Jinling City for hundreds of years, and Jinling City has long been theirs.It is no exaggeration to say that they know every brick and tile of Jinling City.Anyone who wants to install their own forces in Jinling City cannot escape their eyes.King Chu could actually hide it from them and place his people in Jinling City. This... is too scary!

"I underestimated the King of Chu." Li Jue admitted readily this time, "I originally thought that the King of Chu was just a little smarter than the prince and the king, which made the emperor look at him with admiration. Now it seems that the king of Chu will Much better than the prince and the others."

"Is this smart?" Fang Zhimiao stood up and exclaimed, "This is a sky and an underground. The King of Chu may have placed his people in Jinling a long time ago, but we have never noticed it. It’s not something ordinary people can do.”

Fang Zhimiao looked at Li Jue, who still looked calm, and couldn't help but complain: "You always thought you were smart, thinking you were the smartest person in the world, but now it seems you are not. King Chu's wisdom and methods are inferior to yours." superior."

Li Jue said nothing, and raised his eyes to look at Fang Zhimiao coldly.

Fang Zhimiao didn't know where the courage came from, and stared back without fear.

"You think you have the emperor and his sons under your control, but the result is that you don't even see how much the king of Chu weighs." Fang Zhimiao was Li Jue's friend, but he also always hated Li Jue. Jue is arrogant, as if he is the only smart person in the world, and everyone else is stupid, and they are all for his own amusement. "You played the prince and the king around, but you were played around by the king of Chu. How does it feel to be treated as a fool and played around?"

Li Jue had a gloomy face and said nothing, but the look he looked at Fang Zhimiao was terrifying.

Fang Zhimiao stared back boldly: "I have told you a long time ago that you are not the only one in this world who is extremely smart, and you should not treat everyone as fools. You look down on the emperor and his son and play with them. Le, it’s better now, you have become the joy of King Chu.”

Li Jue said in a sinister tone: "Have you said enough?"

Fang Zhimiao also knew that now was not the time to laugh at Li Jue, so he sat back down opposite Li Jue.

"The power of King Chu is unfathomable, what should we do next?"

"Find them one by one." Li Jue didn't expect that he would fall into such a big trap for a prince.

"How to find it?" Fang Zhimiao wanted to find it immediately, but he had no clue. "We can't even find the tenth prince, how can we find someone from King Chu."

As soon as he finished speaking, something suddenly occurred to him, and then his face changed drastically, and his eyes were full of shock.

"The King of Chu has sent people to Jinling a long time ago, so doesn't he already know what we are doing?" Fang Zhimiao became more and more uneasy as he thought about it. "Then he also knew about our cooperation with the prince and the others. He He has never exposed us or taken action against us. He just wants to wait until the time is right and kill us and the prince in one fell swoop..." King Chu's scheming and methods were too terrifying.

When Li Jue heard what Fang Zhimiao said, a look of surprise appeared on his usually cold and expressionless face.

Fang Zhimiao's heart was filled with turmoil, and he stammered: "King Chu, he...he..." He did not dare to continue thinking.

Li Jue's face became very ugly.

Fang Zhimiao only felt that his heart was cold and his scalp was numb.An unprecedented fear gripped his heart. He had never been as scared and uneasy as he was now.

"King Chu, he has been watching the show to see us and the prince trying to be smart." Li Jue held the wine glass with his hand so hard that the veins on the back of his hand protruded.

Fang Zhimiao's face turned pale, and his body shook violently. If he hadn't stretched out his hand to support the ground in time, he would have fallen to the deck.

"Now I finally know why King Chu was able to escape from the assassination attempts by the Crown Prince and King Dai. They are no match for King Chu at all."

It was obviously summer, but Fang Zhimiao felt bitingly cold at the moment.

King Chu, who had quietly arrived in Pengcheng, did not know that he had frightened Li Jue and the others.

The prince's people in Pengcheng did not notice that King Chu and his party had sneaked into Pengcheng.The assassin sent by the prince was still searching for King Chu on the way to Pengcheng.

As soon as he arrived in Pengcheng, the King of Chu wrote to the King of Wei, asking about Zhao Yao's whereabouts.

When King Wei received the letter from King Chu, he was not surprised.

"Your Highness, the King of Chu has arrived in Pengcheng safely?" Yu Hai knew how many people the Crown Prince and King Dai had sent to assassinate the King of Chu.To be honest, he always felt that King Chu would definitely die this time.

"With his ability, it is not strange for him to successfully sneak into Pengcheng." King Wei sneered, "If he cannot reach Pengcheng, I will look down on him."

After hearing this, Yu Hai murmured in his heart: Your Highness, are you praising the King of Chu?

"Your Highness, do you want to tell His Highness the Crown Prince about the successful entry of King Chu into Pengcheng?"

"Tell him what to do." King Wei had long been dissatisfied with the prince, "Let King Chu investigate the matter of stealing copper."

Yu Hai understood what King Wei meant, but he thought about the fact that the prince wanted to send his highness to Pengcheng.

"Your Highness, when you arrive in Jinling, you will go to Pengcheng to investigate the copper theft."

"I will just leave all this to the Fourth Brother when the time comes." After King Wei finished speaking, he picked up his pen and wrote a reply to King Chu.

"Your Highness is wise."

King Wei finished writing the letter and handed it to Yu Hai.

After Yu Hai handed the letter to the secret guard, he returned to King Wei.

"Your Highness, you will arrive in Jinling tomorrow. There will be a lot of things waiting for you to deal with. You'd better rest early."

"No, help me prepare a fast boat. I have to rush to Aurous Hill tonight."

"Ah? Your Highness, are you going to Jinling tonight?"

"I will go to Jinling to visit my tenth brother first." King Wei said, "The whereabouts of my tenth brother cannot be known to anyone for the time being."

Hearing this, Yu Hai complained sharply in his heart: Your Highness, you just can't wait to see His Highness Ten.

When King Wei saw Yu Hai standing still, he glared at him and said, "What are you doing standing still? Go get ready quickly."

"My slave will be there soon." Yu Hai did not dare to delay and hurriedly ran to prepare the speedboat.

After a while, King Wei took the secret guard and left first on a fast boat.Yu Hai stayed on the official ship to "pretend".

Li Jue and the others searched all over Jinling City but could not find Zhao Yao. At this time, he was happily eating fruit and reading the storybook.

Shopkeeper Fan served Zhao Yao very well and made him gain a few pounds.

In order not to arouse suspicion, Zhao Yao did not tell Tongxi and the others about his whereabouts.I have read so many beautiful story books, and it is such a pity that I cannot share them with Tongxi.

There was a knock on the door suddenly. After Zhao Yao heard it, he said without raising his head: "Come in."

Shopkeeper Fan walked in and respectfully reported to Zhao Yao: "Your Highness, the prince will arrive in Jinling tomorrow afternoon."

"Really?" When Zhao Yao heard this, he immediately dropped the storybook in his hand and said with joy, "Bago is finally here."

Shopkeeper Fan was worried that Zhao Yao would be happy and impulsively ran out to pick up King Wei, and quickly reminded him: "Your Highness, I know that you are anxious to see the prince, but you can't go out to pick up the prince now." Now the Li family and others are acting fiercely. Search for His Highness the Tenth Prince throughout Jinling City.

"Don't worry, I will wait here for myna to come to me." He was not a fool.

Shopkeeper Fan felt relieved and left without disturbing Zhao Yao anymore.

After reading the storybook for a while, Zhao Yao fell asleep.When he fell asleep, he felt someone looking at him and heard someone talking in his ear.

The voice sounded familiar.

In his sleep, Zhao Yao felt like he had heard it somewhere. Who was speaking?
The voice sounded like it was a myna.

starling? !
Zhao Yao suddenly woke up from his sleep.

Just as King Wei was about to leave, he was startled when he saw Zhao Yao suddenly woke up.

Seeing that it was really King Wei, Zhao Yao hurriedly sat up, then stretched out his hands to rub his eyes, and exclaimed in disbelief: "Ba Ge?"

"It's me." King Wei smiled apologetically, "It's my fault that I woke you up."

"Bago!" Zhao Yao rushed toward King Wei with joy, then hugged King Wei tightly with both hands, and kept calling "Bago".

When King Wei saw that Zhao Yao was so happy to see him, a smile appeared on his face.He hugged Zhao Yao hard, then raised his hand and patted his back gently.
