Marshal, your vest is off

Chapter 43 The Emperor Calls
"When I was locked up, I heard them saying that they wanted to trade me for Chen Gongyou. The purpose of trading him was to improve the strength of a master." Cheng Qing told the information he had interrogated.

Zhao Wuyuan said: "We already know about this matter. Now that the Ministry of Punishment has strengthened its precautions, even if they want to save people, it is impossible."

Cheng Qing nodded and said: "Since they are coming to rescue people, can we use Chen Gongyou as a bait? Is it better to catch each one?"

Qi Diaolie shook his head in disapproval, and said: "If this is the case, we might as well kill Chen Gongyou directly, and then lead our troops to fight to the old den of Mingtian Sect."

"Hei Lian Lie's words are well said, I agree." Tao Liangting raised his hand in agreement.

"To lead troops to attack, you must ask the emperor for instructions. Only after approval can you attack." Zhao Wuyuan said solemnly.

Tao Liangting said nonchalantly: "What's the point? Can't we just ask the Emperor for instructions? The Mingtian Sect has already extended its hands to the court, and the Emperor will definitely agree to our attack on the Mingtian Sect."

Qi Diaolie agreed: "That's right, no matter what, we are the best soldiers, why are we still afraid of those rabble?"

What he said was confident. A soldier who had fought on the battlefield, what else could scare him?

"Yes, that's right." Others echoed.

Zhao Wuyuan looked at Cheng Qing. What he was worried about was not whether his father would agree. What he was worried about was that it was not impossible for his father to take this opportunity to express his kindness to Cheng Qing.

Cheng Yue, who was sitting aside as an invisible man, closed his eyes slightly and showed a hint of inquiry.

Bai Xiuyuan raised his head when Zhao Wuyuan said those words, and couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw his solemn expression.

At this moment, the housekeeper came in with Eunuch Jiang.

When Cheng Qing saw Eunuch Jiang, he couldn't help but frowned. He wondered what tricks the old emperor was going to play?
The housekeeper walked in and bowed to the group first, and then said to Cheng Qing: "Miss, Eunuch Jiang wants to see you."

Eunuch Jiang came forward from behind the housekeeper. The smile he had just raised froze on his face after seeing Cheng Qing sitting with such a large group of men, and was a little messy in the wind.

Then he reacted very quickly and raised his smile again. He put the snow-white whisk on his arm and saluted everyone, "I have met the fourth prince, the generals, the prince and the princess."

Zhao Wuyuan stood up and said, "Excuse me, why are you here?"

For what?Of course it was for Cheng Qing.

How could he say this in front of these people, especially the Fourth Prince?

The emperor's affection for Cheng Qingxin is probably already known to everyone, but the window paper has not been pierced yet.

Eunuch Jiang looked troubled, but in the end he bit the bullet and said: "This slave is here to take the princess into the palace on the order of the emperor."

Zhao Wuyuan's face turned cold and he continued to ask: "Did your father tell you what to do with Qing'er?"

"The emperor didn't say anything. I thought, I should be asking about those thieves." Eunuch Jiang racked his brains to come up with a suitable reason. He couldn't offend the emperor, nor could he offend the fourth prince. The emperor hadn't established a prince yet. The fourth prince may be the most suitable candidate for the crown prince in the emperor's mind.

Zhao Wuyuan looked at him coldly and said: "You go back and tell Father that Qing'er is not feeling well. I will accompany her to see Father in person another day. As for the things about those thieves, Qing'er has already told us everything. , I will report it to Father Ming when I am young, please go back."

Every word reveals fierce pressure. How can Eunuch Jiang withstand it?Wiping his sweat, he said: "Yes, I will go back and report to the Emperor."

After saying that, he backed off.

Seeing him walking away so neatly, Cheng Qing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fourth Prince, thank you for helping me out."

When Zhao Wuyuan heard this, he immediately changed his expression, smiled and said, "I rescued you, should you thank me?"

Cheng Qing made a gesture to salute and thank him, but Zhao Wuyuan stopped her, "Wait, wait."

She looked at him doubtfully.Zhao Wuyuan smiled and said: "I don't want you to say thank you like this, I want you to change your words."

"Change your words? What changes?" Cheng Qing asked.

Zhao Wuyuan smiled slyly and said: "Well, I can be considered your god-cousin and your brother's brother after all, right? What's the point of calling them eldest brother and calling me the fourth prince? Call me brother and come and listen. "

Cheng Qing's mouth twitched.

Bai Xiuyuan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Zhao Wuyuan, with a hint of meaning flashing in his eyes.

Just as Zhao Wuyuan was triumphantly waiting for Cheng Qing to call his brother, a clean voice suddenly sounded.

"Oh? Really? In that case, should you call me brother first? I am the brother of Yue'er and Qing'er, and I happen to be one year older than you."

Zhao Wuyuan's proud face suddenly collapsed.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then burst into thunderous laughter.

Cheng Yue held the tea with a smile, looked at Zhao Wuyuan provocatively, and took a sip.

Zhao Wuyuan looked at this group of people speechlessly. He, the prince, really had no dignity at all here.

Cheng Qing smiled, rolled his eyes, and said, "Fourth Prince, if you call me brother, I will call you brother."

Zhao Wuyuan looked at her bright smiling face. Suddenly, as if just to take a gamble, his face changed a lot, and finally settled on a bright smile, and he really shouted towards Cheng Yue: "Brother."

"puff--"

Cheng Yue sprayed.

Cheng Qing was stunned on the spot.

Others looked at Zhao Wuyuan in disbelief.

After a brief moment of disbelief, Bai Xiuyuan realized something and frowned in annoyance.

Zhao Wuyuan looked at Cheng Qing and Cheng Yue proudly. His face had been cultivated since he was a child. Why didn't he just call him brother?What does it matter if we can achieve our goal?He won't lose a piece of meat.

Cheng Qing gritted his teeth. Why hadn't she noticed that Zhao was so thick-skinned before? !
"Qing'er, it's your turn, you won't be a scumbag, right?"

Zhao Wuyuan winked at her.

Cheng Qing felt defeated for the first time and accepted her fate, but if she wanted to call him 'Brother Wuyuan' like Zhao Ningbai did, she would definitely not be able to do it.

After thinking about it, Cheng Qing smiled and shouted: "Fourth brother."

Isn't he the fourth child?
Then there's nothing wrong with her shouting like this, right?
There was no problem, but Zhao Wuyuan always felt that something was wrong, and a piece of his heart was missing.

"General! Not good!"

A soldier ran in in a panic and said to them: "General, Chen Gongyou is dead!"

"what?!"

Everyone stood up in unison, and all the playful expressions were replaced by solemn expressions.
