Lord and leave

Chapter 189

Now that they finally arrived at a place where there were no outsiders, how could the king of Chu let their poor knees go.

So, after a few people saluted in the inn room, they began to talk about today's events.

"Fourth, how is the investigation going on today?" King Chu asked this matter as soon as he came up.

Everyone in the room was very surprised to hear it. It should be a normal thing to meet robbers on the road. Why do you need to mention it here?
Zhu Bingling glanced quietly at Shen Boling who was beside him. Shen Boling was also very surprised when he heard what King Chu said. He just raised his head to look at Zhu Bingling, but unexpectedly Zhu Bingling was also looking at him. Meeting in the air.

Because Zhu Bingling and Shen Boling paid special attention, others did not see their small movements.

When Chu Hengqing heard the King of Chu's roll call and asked him to report, he took the initiative to step forward.Fortunately, after the accident, Chu Hengqing immediately sent people out to investigate, but there is no result yet.

It's just that he didn't expect that his father would ask him this matter so early. "Father, my son has already sent people to investigate, but there is no news yet."

"Well, what did you find on the corpse?" King Chu continued to ask, seeming to be very interested in these robbers.

This time even Chu Hengqing felt that something was wrong, the King of Chu was not someone who cared much about such trivial matters.

If the King of Chu cared so much about such trivial matters every day, then he had really worked hard on the throne.If you can't handle major national affairs, how can you have time to manage such small matters?

So this time King Chu was so concerned about this matter, which made everyone feel very strange.

Zhu Bingling grinned from below. It seemed that the King of Chu really had a problem, and he was entangled in this kind of robbers.

"Returning to my father, the corpses of all the robbers have been inspected. They are all wearing ordinary swords without any marks on them. As for the clothes on their bodies, they have been searched. There is nothing. On the surface It looks like an ordinary robber. But I feel that this matter is a bit strange." Chu Hengqing did not continue.

But under the signal of the King of Chu, he continued, "I just think that to be able to do evil in such an open and aboveboard manner at the foot of the emperor in the capital, and to be able to know the movement of the patrolling soldiers in the capital, should not be an ordinary robber. So simple."

Under the direction of King Chu, Chu Hengqing continued to talk about what he had discovered, but he still had some reservations, because along the way, of course, Chu Hengqing discovered many doubts, and these doubts all pointed to his father. Wang, he really doesn't want to admit this, so in his mind, he has been resisting this answer.

He has never wanted to admit that now his father and king have begun to take precautions against him, otherwise why would he no longer be in charge of the military camp?
When the King of Chu first arrived at the barracks, he was anxious to parade to see the real strength of the soldiers he trained.

King Chu was really happy when he saw the real strength of the soldiers, but when he saw his high prestige among the soldiers, King Chu's eyes became much colder.

Although he hid it well, but as the son of the king of Chu, after living carefully beside him for so many years, how could he not understand what his biological father's every move, or every expression, every look in his eyes represented?
When he saw King Chu's eyes, Chu Hengqing felt that his father had already had a different view of him.

It's no longer the time to just come out of the capital and help him train soldiers to defend his country.

Later, Zhu Bingling told him in private that the King of Chu had placed a lot of people near the barracks, and they were everywhere looking for something.This kind of thing made Chu Hengqing feel even more disturbed and chilled.

It was he who saved his father from the hands of the rebellious prince.It was also him who helped his father take over when he needed help the most and was the most helpless. No one went to the frontier to train soldiers. He has done so much, can't he get back a little bit of sincerity?
From a young age, the prince was the only one who stood up to his father.The prince has been a dou who cannot be supported since he was a child, but his father has always wanted to pass on the throne to him.

Although the crown prince is incompetent, his father has always supported him, and he wholeheartedly wants him to be a little bit better, so that his father can pass on the throne in a legitimate way.It's a pity that the crown prince just doesn't have that material at all. No matter how much his father helps him, the crown prince has never been self-motivated. He always thought that everything would fall into place, so he never felt that the throne would fall into the hands of others. , This gave Chu Hengqing, who had been in the dark, an opportunity.

Among all the princes, only he is the most suitable and capable of inheriting the throne, but the king of Chu just doesn't like him.

He has never had an official position with real access to core power.If he hadn't had a lot of experience in fighting, it is estimated that his father would not even let him participate in such things as fighting.

But even if he is allowed to take part of the military power and go to the border to fight, he will use various methods to take back the military power not long after he returns from a triumphant return.

The father has always used various methods to guard against him, and has never really trusted him.

When he rescued his father from the hands of the prince, Chu Hengqing felt the subtle changes in the king of Chu. He suddenly and naively thought that his father's impression of him had changed.

In this way, in the future, the throne will be passed on to him slowly and logically, so that he will not have a head-on conflict with his father, and he can also retain the last bit of father-son affection.

But just when he thought things were slowly getting better, King Chu hurt Chu Hengqing's heart again.

The various performances after the military parade clearly showed the Chu king's distrust of Chu Hengqing.

If Chu Hengqing guessed correctly, the time of the robbers on the road was also a trick of his father.

The purpose is obviously to test him. On the way, the conversation between Zhu Bingling and Shen Boling fell into his ears very clearly. Now that even outsiders see this matter so clearly, how can he, the person involved, not know? ?
Sometimes it's not that he doesn't know, it's just that he doesn't want to face this reality.Just like what Zhu Bingling said, reality is always cruel, and you must face it head-on.

As long as you don't face it head-on for a day, it will keep hurting you, corroding your heart little by little, and one day you will die from the cruelty of reality and your escaping psychology.

"Well, since nothing was found, it should be ordinary robbers. Since the last incident, there have indeed been a lot more robbers, and this is not a big deal. The soldiers you trained this time happened to be In case of emergency, first arrange all the patrols in the capital first, as for the guards in the palace, let’s do this first, there is no need to send any more manpower for the time being, and it will not be too late after the next batch of soldiers are trained.” King Chu felt relieved when he heard Chu Hengqing say that he hadn't found anything.

His son is too smart, and he is also the most like him among all his princes.

But he never felt that this was something to be proud of, because he knew himself too well, and knew that if he really wanted to accomplish something, he would definitely go all out to accomplish it.

Therefore, if Chu Hengqing really wanted to seek power and usurp the throne, then he would be in some danger now.

The robbery incident this time was also planned by him, and his purpose was nothing else, but to test what Chu Hengqing was thinking right now.

However, after this robbery incident, the King of Chu was surprised to find that it seemed that Chu Hengqing was not as rebellious as he had imagined.

On the contrary, when danger approached, Chu Hengqing was more concerned with protecting him.

After discovering this, King Chu suddenly realized that he didn't know what to do. He had already taken precautions against Chu Hengqing, but Chu Hengqing had no intention of seeking power.

But when he saw the attitude of the soldiers towards Chu Hengqing, he had to guard against it.

The King of Chu suddenly felt very tired. After sitting on the throne for so many years and being a loner for so many years, he had never felt so tired at this moment.

For a moment, he suddenly wanted to rest, wanted to have a good rest, so he just closed his eyes and had a good sleep, not caring about anything.

Ever since he took the highest position in Chu State, he has never had a good night's sleep, nor has he tried to sleep until he wakes up naturally. Every night he sleeps with trepidation, and he habitually raises his vigilance while sleeping.

This is the truest life of a king on the throne.

Everyone gave up a lot of things to fight for the throne, but when you really get it, you know that in this position, you can no longer trust anyone.

There is no dearest person by your side, only yourself, and you can only believe in yourself.

Over time, at a certain moment you will feel that living is just to prevent everyone from robbing you, and forget the true meaning of life.

King Chu, who was very nervous about the robber's time just now, seemed to be relieved when he knew that Chu Hengqing hadn't found anything, so that Chu Hengqing didn't have to continue to investigate further.

All the people present were human beings. After the king of Chu said so, they became more suspicious of the connection between this time and the king of Chu.

It is estimated that without much investigation, it is possible to find out whether the king of Chu is behind the scenes of these people, and whether the play was directed and performed by the king of Chu himself.

"My son knows." No matter how many thoughts Chu Hengqing had in his heart, it was impossible to express them, and he still said along the lines of King Chu.

"Okay, it's late, everyone, go down and rest, and continue on your way tomorrow morning." King Chu waved his hand as if tired.

Everyone was very happy when they heard the king of Chu say that.After a tiring day, no one wants to continue discussing this fruitless topic in other people's rooms, especially in King Chu's room, where there is no freedom of speech at all.

Here, the happiest person is none other than Zhu Bingling.

I bumped a little on the horseback, and my whole body was about to fall apart, especially when I met robbers today.Meeting robbers is nothing, but for her beloved horse, it is a challenge.And not only is it a challenge to her beloved horse, but her beloved horse is also a challenge to her.

On the horseback today, because she pulled the rein too hard, her muscles are strained and the pain is terribly painful. What she wants most now is to go back to her room and take a good hot bath to relieve it Fatigue all over.

Finally hearing that King Chu was going to let them go back, Zhu Bingling rushed to her own room after saluting happily.

After Chu Hengqing and Shen Boling saw it, they smiled knowingly, knowing that Zhu Bingling was indeed exhausted today.No matter how hard you usually work, Zhu Bingling will not complain about suffering or tiredness, but when it comes to horses, Zhu Bingling really needs a period of time to get used to it.
