Chapter 245 If you win, you will receive applause and flowers, if you lose, you will be fried!
"Why?" Tang Bandit looked puzzled and asked aloud: "Is it because of the conflict between me and Yu Huoshui? You also know what happened between us. There was some unpleasantness when Bailu recruited new people."

"I had forgotten about that thing a long time ago. I didn't expect that he would still keep it in mind and think about revenge all the time. He would mock me whenever he found an opportunity."

"Just now he said that I am the one who is favored by thousands of people. Didn't I just get your favor? He was calling me a soft-spoken pretty boy. Can't I hear it?"

"."

"Because of this, he wants to harm me? Isn't it possible? He is a relative of the emperor and a well-known big shot in Phoenix City. He doesn't even have this kind of magnanimity?"

"It's not just because of this matter." Phoenix said with a serious expression, "Now the situation has become very complicated, and you accidentally got involved."

"Is there anything else?" Tang Bandit looked at Fenghuang and asked in confusion.

Fenghuang was silent for a moment, but decided to tell Tang Bandit the truth, and said in a deep voice: "My eldest brother and second brother are going to fight."

"A fight?" Tang Bandit was stunned for a moment and said, "What are they two fighting for? Weren't they sitting together drinking just now? Are they going to fight just because they said a few angry words?"

Fenghuang thought that Bandit Tang could only see some one-sided things. If he relied on these things as a reference, it would be impossible to accurately judge the current situation.

For the sake of Tang Bandit's safety, she had to reveal some royal secrets to him, and said aloud: "Some things happened before, which made my eldest brother suspect that the second brother wanted to harm him. The eldest brother is the prince, if anything happens to him, The second brother is very likely to take his place."

"Why not 伱?" Tang Biao said with a playful smile, "I think you are much better than the two of them, and it would be good to be a queen. I have already chosen a name for you, Xiu Xue I, what do you think? Sample?"

Phoenix shook his head and said: "Although various countries have been advocating equality between men and women hundreds of years ago, when it comes to things like imperial power and clan rights, the priority of each family and clan is still the eldest son and grandson of the family, the male heir, and the female heir. Seats have to be in the back row. This kind of thing cannot be changed for a while. I can't change it even with my own strength."

"What a pity." Tang Bandi shrugged his shoulders and said, "I thought that if you became the queen, I could hold your thigh, eat well and drink spicy food all day long, eat and wait for death, who would even look at me? , I’ll beat him up.”

"Brother, what about me?" Xiaopang asked anxiously from the side.

"You hold my thigh. When I fly upward, I will naturally carry you with me."

"Okay." Xiaopang was satisfied, grabbed an orange and started peeling it.

He was eating when Tang Bandit left, and he was still eating when Tang Bandit came back.

He was eating cakes when Tang Bandi left. After Tang Bandit came back from walking around the Zhongtianque courtyard, he started eating fruit.

"No chance." Phoenix shook his head again and said, "I have never thought about this kind of thing, and I don't want to get involved."

"The eldest brother is the prince, the crown prince of the country designated by his father. This is good. It is established from the beginning, and there will be no sibling discord."

"However, since the last incident, the relationship between the two of them has become very strange. They seem to be closer than before, but"

"I know them too well. Their intimacy is perfunctory, it's a show, they're worried that others will see that they're not getting along, so they do it forcefully."

"Excessive force." Tang Bandit described it accurately.

"Yes, it was just too much force. At that time, I started to worry. I was afraid that it would affect the relationship between the brothers and cause chaos within the royal family."

"But I think that my father should already know what I can see. Besides, I am their sister. It is hard for me to do anything in the middle to avoid causing them misunderstanding."

"I didn't expect that such a delay would actually cause the two of them to quarrel on the spot. As soon as today's incident became fermented, the entire empire knew that the eldest brother and the second brother were at odds."

"In this way, things will develop into a very dangerous situation. At that time, even if you want to pull it back, you can't pull it back."

"What happened to the two of them?" Tang Bandit asked loudly: "Can't you help mediate?"

"this."

Fenghuang looked embarrassed. She really couldn't tell her that her second brother had put a "Prince of Diarrhea" on her elder brother's forehead.

She also felt it was too shameful.

"If it's not convenient, forget it." Tang Bandit said with a considerate look: "I'm not very interested in this kind of thing. The fight between the eldest prince and the second prince is something I can't get involved in, and I don't dare to get involved. That is a family matter of your royal family, and I believe that with the wisdom of the current ruler, all problems can be solved with just a few moves."

"I'm just curious. This is obviously a fight between the two of them. Why do you think I'm in danger?"

Fenghuang looked at Tang Bandit and said, "In the past, I also agreed that you should get closer to your eldest brother. After all, he is the crown prince and the future king of the country. The honor and disgrace of you and Xiaopang are all determined by eldest brother's thoughts."

"Yes, that's no problem. I understand your good intentions, so I have been working hard to get closer to your elder brother recently." Tang Bandit nodded and said: "Why is there danger again? Are you afraid that the second brother will take it away? Big brother’s position?”

Phoenix shook his head and said, "It's natural for you to move closer to eldest brother. But if you think about it again, why does eldest brother also try to win over you in every possible way?"

Tang Bandit looked at Fenghuang and said, "Isn't this for your sake? Isn't it because you helped intercede?"

"For people like them, I can help intercede on small matters. But when it comes to big things like the struggle for imperial power, my words are not that useful."

"So, he did this because he wanted me to work for him?" Tang Bandit couldn't keep pretending to be stupid. He understood that going too far was never enough.

After all, he had just given the Zhong brothers a "excessive force" remark.

"Yes." Phoenix nodded and said, "Besides, it's a job that ordinary people can't do."

"."

"Think about it, my eldest brother has been the crown prince for many years and has countless capable people and strangers around him. Although their father is still in power, in order to worry about his father's emotions, they dare not openly seek refuge with his eldest brother, but will there still be fewer people who are secretly loyal to his eldest brother? Why do they Why did you choose me?"

"Because I have no foundation and am innocent."

"Yes, it's because you are innocent. You are not affiliated with the nine major families, and you are not a descendant of any of them. Therefore, he can use you with confidence and boldness."

"But I'm not clear either." Tang Bandit said very dissatisfied: "I am from Her Royal Highness the Princess. Who in the empire doesn't know that I am yours?"

"."

"That's right." Xiaopang, who was eating Pearl Dragon Fruit with red juice all over his face, echoed, "Everyone knows that my brother is from Sister Phoenix. Without Sister Phoenix, we wouldn't be able to come to Xinxing."

"Eat your food well." Phoenix hit Xiaopang on the head and said.

Under the influence of a certain bad guy, she also likes to knock Fatty on the head.

"Oh." Xiaopang nodded and continued to eat hard.

"It's true that you are mine, but things are not as simple as you think." Fenghuang looked at Tang Bandit and said, "I am just a princess. If I don't manage politics or lead the army, how much power can I have in speaking? ? What can I do for you without my father's love and my brother's care?"

"That's why I hope you go to Big Brother and get closer to him. However, I'm worried that if he tries so hard to win you over, he will make you do some very dangerous things."

Tang Bandit understood what Fenghuang meant and asked directly: "Are you worried that your elder brother's purpose in wooing me is to hurt your second brother?"

He knew that since Phoenix was willing to say such things to him, he was really hurting him. This silly girl really regarded him as her own.
Otherwise, it would be enough for her to vaguely remind herself. Why would she need to explain the twists and turns to herself?
They even did not hesitate to reveal all the scandals within their royal family.

Fenghuang looked at Tang Bandit and said, "This possibility cannot be ruled out."

"Your elder brother wants me to do something dangerous like that. If I don't agree, I won't be able to surrender. I'm not one of our own, so I can't be his closest confidant. Once I do it, I might become a dead person." .”

Just kidding, who is willing to do such a thing as assassinating the prince?
The two brothers were fighting to the death, and it was all an internal struggle among the royal family.

If he got involved and really killed the second prince, what would the royal family think?What would Zhong Daolong think?
There is only a dead end waiting for him.

At that time, it was sheer fantasy to expect that the eldest prince would protect him.

In order to prove his innocence, he was afraid that he would throw himself out immediately, just like throwing away a useless waste.
"Your second brother naturally understands the problems you can see. Therefore, they will always be wary of me and target me. If they have the slightest chance, they will find a way to get rid of me."

Tang Bandit smiled bitterly and asked, "Is that so?"

Phoenix was speechless.Bandit Tang had already guessed all the results.

Tang Bandit took Little Fatty's arm and left, saying: "I won't play anymore, I won't play anymore. People in your royal family are too conceited. If you can't play with it, let's hide, okay? I'll hide under the mountain and never come down again." .”

The little fat man was holding the watermelon with a confused look on his face. How could he be leaving so well?
I haven't finished my melon yet.

"Bandit Tang." Fenghuang shouted.

Tang Bandit turned to look at Phoenix and asked aloud: "If you were me, what would you do? What can you do?"

Fenghuang looked at Tang Bandit with an apologetic look and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect things to develop to this point."

"Why are you saying you're sorry? You're not sorry for me." Tang Bandit waved his hand and said, "If you hadn't warned me in advance, I wouldn't have thought of these things. I didn't expect it to be so complicated."

"But now the problem has arisen, we have to find a solution. You are also a member of the royal family, and you are smarter than the two of us. Please help us think about it, what should we do now?"

"Xiao Pang and I don't want to be successful, we just want to live peacefully? Can we just live well?"

"I am telling you this just to discuss with you how to solve the problem." Phoenix gritted his teeth and said firmly: "I will protect you no matter what."
-
Zhong Daolong had a big cigar in his mouth, and his whole face was hidden in the thick smoke, making it difficult to see his emotional changes at this time.

"Tearing it apart in public? Each one's wings have grown hard? Do you think I'm dead?"

Chen Fenglei hunched his body and said with a smile: "Maybe it's just a little temper among young people, and it will get better after a while."

"Having a little temper? Do you think it's Zhong Tianque who's having a little temper or Zhong Tianyi who's having a little temper? Are they the kind of people who can have a little temper?"

"."

silence.

He didn't dare to answer this question.

No matter who hears it, it will not bring good results to him.

A slave is a slave, how dare he interfere in his master's family affairs?
Zhong Daolong took another puff of his cigar and hissed: "The best way to deal with it is to pretend that nothing happened. The more I ignore it, the more unsure they will be."

"Let them have a showdown, and the winner will inherit the position under my butt, and the loser will be left to the winner. It's better than hiding hatred and desire in your heart, don't you think?"

"The Lord Qiankun is arbitrary. I think they will understand the Lord's painstaking efforts."

"They won't understand. How can they understand something that we ourselves don't understand?" Zhong Daolong said with a smile: "Since they want to act, then I, the old father, will go down and act with them. "

After pondering for a while, he said aloud: "Let someone call Er Er first. I'll listen to his explanation first."

"Yes, Lord." Chen Fenglei agreed, turned around and went out to arrange work.

Soon, Zhong Tianyi was invited over.

Zhong Daolong pointed to the sofa opposite and said loudly: "Sit down, let's chat as father and son."

Zhong Tianyi did not dare to sit down, lowered his head, and said with a guilty look on his face: "I know I have made my father sad, and my son knows his mistake."

"You know you're wrong?" Zhong Daolong raised his head to look at Zhong Tianyi and asked with a smile.

"I know it's wrong."

"Will you still commit crimes in the future?"

"Never do it again."

Zhong Daolong sighed and said: "The fact that you can say these words proves that you still have no intention of telling the truth to me."

"Father."

Zhong Daolong pointed to the seat opposite and said, "Sit down."

"Yes, father."

Zhong Daolong looked at Zhong Tianyi sitting opposite and said, "Tell me, what is going on?"

"Actually, it's just a small matter. It was originally just a small friction between Yu Huoshui and Tang Bandit."

"Tang Bandit?" Zhong Daolong's eyes were slightly stern and he asked aloud: "Is there anything else about Tang Bandit?"

"The whole thing started because of him. When Bailu was recruiting new people, didn't he use some small tricks to eliminate Yu Huoshui? Later he took the opportunity to join Bailu and became a disciple under the Grand Master."

"Since then, he has become even more arrogant and domineering, and has always been at odds with Yu Huoshui. Today, my eldest brother invited him to a party. After he went, he sat directly next to Yu Huoshui and made sarcastic remarks to Yu Huoshui."

"The two of them started to quarrel because of this. I was sitting next to Yu Huoshui. I really couldn't stand his arrogance, so I said something to Yu Huoshui."

"Then why did you and your elder brother have a dispute?"

"My eldest brother and I didn't have any dispute. It's just that my eldest brother felt that I said something wrong and scolded me a few times. With so many people watching, my son was so thin-faced that he really couldn't get off the stage, so he left the meeting early."

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple." Zhong Tianyi pointed at Chen Fenglei and said, "If father doesn't believe it, you can ask Chen Fenglei to investigate."

Zhong Daolong raised his head, looked at Zhong Tianyi's expression thoughtfully, and asked, "Don't you have any other ideas?"

"Other thoughts?" Zhong Tianyi said with a smile: "We are all a family, what can I think? The noise will be over soon. Who can really hold a grudge?"

"Why are there rumors outside that you are interested in your brother's position as crown prince and want to replace him?" Zhong Daolong asked with a faint smile on his lips.

thump!
Zhong Tianyi knelt on the ground with a look of fear, and said nervously: "Father, my son definitely has no such idea. My eldest brother and I are brothers. Although we have occasional frictions, we can be regarded as brothers and sisters, and we get along very harmoniously. "

"It is natural and natural for the eldest brother to sit in that position. I know how much the eldest brother has paid for it over the years."

"And I am an unlucky person. I am greedy for drinking and fun, and I am uneducated and incompetent. I have no ability or qualifications to compete with my elder brother for that position."

"Whenever I have the slightest idea like that, I will be struck by thunder and let my father do whatever he wants."

"Okay, okay." Zhong Daolong waved his hand and said, "We are just chatting casually. Why are you so nervous? If you really want to do it, you can tell me directly and I can give you a chance."

"Let you practice in various cabinet departments to see if you have this ability. I have been a little lax in discipline over the years and have been in a state of free rein. I really don't know if you have this brush."

Zhong Tianyi's heart was beating hard, but he knew that he could never admit it at this time.

Even to death I couldn't admit that I had the slightest idea about that position.

"Father, I really don't have that kind of idea, and I'm really not that material. If you put me in those important ministries, wouldn't that delay the military affairs? I really can't afford it."

Zhong Daolong stared at the top of Zhong Tianyi's head and remained silent for a long time.

Zhong Tianyi was lying on the ground, not daring to take a breath.

I don't know how long it took before Zhong Daolong sighed softly and said, "If you don't want to, I won't force you to take that seat. It's really not that easy to sit in."

"If you are willing to be an idle prince, you will naturally be rich and wealthy throughout your life. If you have other ideas, you have to resign yourself to your fate. If you win, you will receive applause and flowers, if you lose, you will be fried in a pot."
