Every time I wake up, I take the blame for the villain

The surrounding streets were suddenly filled with screams and uncontrollable chaos.

The people of Qin were good at martial arts, and their generals had been practicing in the palace for many years, but they had never used it. At this time, we suddenly faced the enemy and were quite stretched.

Jiang Chen's body is weak, and he is no better than Jiang Lu when facing the enemy head-on. Seeing the knife heading straight for the door facing Jiang Lu, Jiang Chen kicked him in the crook of the leg and dodged Jiang Lu. He was immediately half shorter and narrowly avoided the blade above his head. Jiang Chen pulled his long sleeves and pulled Lu's forward body back. The other hand went over his head and hit the killer's wrist. The knife fell instantly. Jiang Chen caught it with his backhand, and the blade flew around. Before he could take it back, there was a blood mark on his hand, and the tendons were severed.

When he retracted his hand, he saw a few blood stains on the edge of the sleeves that had not been completely avoided, and frowned slightly.

The assassin missed repeatedly and injured his right hand again. Seeing the two of them ducking away again, he pulled out the dagger from his waist again, raised the blade with his left hand, and said angrily, "Little Fusu! Stop hiding, watch me kill you!"

Before he finished speaking, a black horse galloped behind him, and the man stabbed him in the chest with a sword.

Blood spurted out, and even though Lu was protecting him, half of Jiang Chen's face was still stained with blood. There was something terrifying about this childish face.

Jiang Chen was silent. He saw that his normally bent eyes seemed to have lost some of their smile. Suddenly he felt that he was frightened. He sighed that he was too big. He just wanted to take him out to play, but he didn't expect it. Encountered this kind of thing.

The assassin raised his dagger, his eyes showing unwillingness, and he fell down with a weak thud on top of the golden sugar water overflowing on the floor.

General Lu was protecting him, and when he saw that he was safe, he turned around and saw that it was Meng Yi who was paying homage to the minister. This man is the younger brother of General Meng Tian and the son of Meng Wu, who is favored by his father. "It turned out that I was in the dark, and I was saved by you."

Meng Yi has a handsome appearance and a fair complexion. No one would have imagined that such a handsome scholar could draw a sword so neatly without seeing him in person.

"Sixth Young Master, Young Young Master...why are you two in Changlefang?"

"I just have nothing to do and take a walk around. I'm so lucky to have you here today!"

Meng Yi was worried when he saw Jiang Chen was silent for a long time, "Young Master? Young Master?"

Jiang Chen moved, stretched out his hand to wipe off the blood on his face, and said with cupped hands, "Thank you, Sir." It was obvious that the other party's original intention was Young Master Fusu, but for some unknown reason, he mistakenly identified Jiang Lu, which is why this happened. .

Meng Yi raised his eyebrows slightly. I had long heard that the Eighteenth Young Master was innocent and cute in front of the emperor, but in fact he was naughty and had a weird temper. When I saw him today, I couldn't believe the rumors.

The capital guards heard the commotion here and hurried over.

Meng Yi was afraid that something might change on his way back and the two generals would be unable to cope with it, so he had to accompany them back to the palace.

After hearing Meng Yi's report, he almost lost two sons in one day. One of them was Hu Hai, the child he always loved. The supreme Qiangu Yi Emperor's face was calm, and all the fingers on his side were clenched, obviously suppressing his anger.

"When the other party stabbed the Sixth Young Master, he called out to the Young Master Fusu, so I thought that the target of the assassin might not be the Sixth Young Master, but the eldest Young Master Fusu."

"Is this happening?" Ying Zheng, who was dressed in black and gold dragon clothes, fell into deep thought after hearing this, and the gloomy look on his face became more serious. After a long moment of silence, Ying Zheng said in a deep voice, "Call Fusu over."

Then there was an internal servant who attended Nuo and left the hall.

"Your Majesty is aware that this matter must have nothing to do with Young Master Fusu." Meng Yi always had a very good impression of Young Master Fusu. This son is gentle and polite, has honest conduct, is kind and gentle, and will never be associated with anything that would hurt his brothers. The only possibility is that someone intends to assassinate the eldest son Fusu.

Ying Zheng heard this but did not express his opinion. His face was gloomy, making people unable to understand his thoughts.

After seeing several people entering the palace, Jiang Chen never said a word, and Ying Zheng frowned slightly. Could it be that this incident scared Hu Hai? Although he is not very old, as a queen of Great Qin, how can he be intimidated by a mere villain! "Hu Hai!"

Before Fu Su could come, Ying Zheng asked him. "What do you think about this?"

Jiang Chen, who was suddenly called upon by name, said: "Go back to my father. My intention as a son-in-law is the same as that of Meng Shangqing."

"Hmm..." Ying Zheng responded, then stopped answering.

Jiang Chen knew that his follow-up response was not in line with people's wishes. However, Jiang Chen had no intention of caring about whether he was satisfied with this matter.

The emperor called urgently, and Fusu hurried over, arranging his clothes along the way. Every time he comes to visit his father, he always pays special attention to his appearance.

When they entered the palace, they saw Ying Zheng standing in front of the throne, Jiang Lu and Hu Hai on the right, and Meng Yi standing on the left in front of the jade steps, still holding a sword.

The atmosphere in the main hall is quite strange.

Fusu didn't know what was going on, so he had no choice but to step forward and bow, "My son, I pay my respects to my father."

Ying Zheng said solemnly, "General Hu Hai was assassinated today while he was out playing."

Fusu was stunned for a moment and subconsciously went to see his two younger brothers.

"When the thief was assassinating him, he shouted, Fu Su, stop running away. Fu Su, what do you think about this?" Is it a trick of the suspected soldiers to slander Fu Su, or is it Fu Su's intention...

His eldest son, he knew best. Fusu has a reputation of being kind and would never do anything to his brother. Otherwise, he would not be Fusu who used virtue to repel the enemy and caused the barbarians to come to court with his troops.

Fusu frowned slightly, "Father, Emperor Mingjian, I don't know about this..."

"...Meng Yi, if you have anything to say, just say it."

When Meng Yi was called, he bowed his hands and was a little hesitant. Finally, in order to help Su, he answered, "I think it may be the rebellion of the six countries."

As expected, Ying Zheng's face darkened and he snorted lightly.

Meng Yi said, "Your Majesty values ​​the prince, and everyone in the world knows it. Mr. Fusu is the eldest son of our Great Qin royal family, and his status is extraordinary. Your Majesty, Mr. Fusu has just returned to the imperial city. He needs to get familiar with the surroundings, so he is the easiest weakness to break. . If Fusu is hurt, Your Majesty will also be sad. This is why he wants to restore the rebel party."

"Six countries, rebel against the party..." Ying Zheng repeated these four words twice, with a cold light flashing in his falcon-like eyes.

At this moment, Jiang Chen felt a bit of bloodthirsty fighting spirit from him.

He raised his hand without looking back, "You all go down." His tone was calm, and he didn't know what kind of decision he had made.

After leaving the palace, Meng Yi whispered the matter to Fusu in detail. About the time when he passed through Changlefang and rescued Hu Hai and his son Jiang Lu.

The smile on Fusu's face faded slightly and he frowned, "Fusu mentioned a few days ago that he hopes to take Hu Hai to Changlefang for a leisurely trip. I am afraid that because of this, the assassin mistakenly identified Lu as me."

A young man with a childlike appearance, Changlefang, is indeed quite recognizable.

Fu Su vaguely recalled that when he mentioned taking Hu Hai out of the palace that day, someone persuaded the brothers to unite and not to bother others. Xianyang City is heavily guarded and extremely safe. Young Master can travel with Young Master Hu Hai and get to know each other better. They haven't seen each other for six years, so they must have a lot to talk about.

Although Fusu felt strange at the time, he didn't think much about it. He said that he was busy with things recently and allowed him to think about it again.

Unexpectedly, something so bad happened today.

Could it be that the other party had a premeditated plan?

When Meng Yi saw him thinking deeply, he knew something was fishy.

Jiang Chen followed behind, silent, keeping Lu by his side.

Hu Hai has always been innocent and lively, and he will never be bored when he is around. Such unusual silence today made several other people unavoidably worried.

Fusu really didn't want him to think that his eldest brother had ulterior motives and was deliberately hurting his brothers.

"Hu Hai."

He suddenly spoke, and Jiang Chen raised his head, his question was quite obvious.

"I will find out about this matter."

Jiang Chen replied, "After the incident is exposed, if my brother is the person behind the scenes, will he wait for others to investigate?"

Fusu said subconsciously, "I think I treat Mr. Gongshu well. Mr. Gongshu is rich in knowledge. Fusu treats him with courtesy and respects him as a teacher. He has always been open-minded to receive teachings and never...why..."

When Jiang Chen heard this, he smiled, "Gongshu? Is it related to the Gongshu clan of the Lu State? Since it is a legacy of the Six Kingdoms... is there any doubt?"

Meng Yi frowned slightly when he heard this. His tone reminded people of the expulsion order from decades ago. At that time, Gao Jianli entered the palace as a musician to avenge his friends. It was quiet for more than a month, and the emperor trusted him. However, Gao Jianli took advantage of the situation and raised his buildings to attack each other. Emperor Qin was furious and issued an order to expel all guests from Shandong. At that time, everyone was in danger. Li Si, who first entered Qin as a disciple of Marquis Wenxin, did not say that even the Meng family, which was deeply rooted in Qin at that time, was affected. Because the Meng family goes back three generations and is a native of Qi. Today, the Eighteenth Young Master mentioned the legacy of the Six Kingdoms, which really made people's hearts skip a beat.

Jiang Chen took in everyone's expressions, and when he saw Meng Yi, the smile on his face did not diminish, "Brother, I should ask, in Gongshu's heart, what is more important than the rise and fall of the temples of Lu State, due to my brother's kindness of knowing me?"

Fusu was silent. Which one is more important? No one knows except Gongshu Fu himself.

The Gongshu family had a good personal relationship with the royal family of the King of Lu, who was destroyed by King Kaolie of Chu. The legacy of the Lu Kingdom has not been extinguished. Now that they meet Gongshu, they must hit it off immediately. Nowadays, the six kings and families want to restore their country, but their wolfish ambitions remain undiminished. Another country, Lu, has been destroyed for more than a hundred years. Just not too much, not too little. Although Fusu was kind to Gongshu, he had different answers for different people compared to the old country.

Moreover, Fusu's mother was a daughter of the Chu clan. After King Kaolie.

"I hope that my brother will do what he can. According to the laws of Qin, those who rebel against Qin should be killed. Fan Yuqi's situation in the past is enough to explain everything. Even if he wants to plead with His Majesty, he will not waver. You have followed him for the longest time. You should know that Qin is governed by law and Confucianism Tolerant and considerate..." Jiang Chenwei ended with a smile.

"But……"

Jiang Lucai said, "My eldest brother believes in Confucianism and governs the world with benevolence and righteousness. He has heard such a saying. Confucius said, repay evil with kindness, how can you repay kindness? Repay hatred with straightness, repay kindness with kindness."

Fusu was slightly startled and stopped.

Jiang Chen had no intention of waiting. He turned around the corner of the high palace wall and went back to his room.

The red curtains interfered with each other and became a little dim under the dusk sunlight. In front of the desk, a tall figure stood with his hands behind his back.

A long shadow dragged to the door. When the attendant opened the door, the shadow dragged out of the palace door.

Jiang Chen took two steps closer and called out politely, "Zhao Zhongcheling."

Zhao Gao turned around slowly, with a cold smile on his lips. "Son."

"If I remember correctly, today is not a Qin law class, nor is it a calligraphy class." Jiang Chen seemed to be completely unable to feel his anger. He stretched out his hand to spread the soft mat and motioned for him to sit down. He said with an innocent look, "Come here, Zhongche Ling. What's the point?"

The waiter beside him hurriedly brought the tea tray, and the green tea fell into the white porcelain tea cup.

Zhao Gaozheng sat down, picked up the bowl of tea, and looked at the extremely calm tea. "There are no waves." His hand shook slightly, and the water in the tea bowl rolled out a whirlpool. Zhao Gao put down the tea and looked at the turbulent whirlpool inside. , "The undercurrent is surging."

The red curtain on the side was blown by the wind, blocking the space between the two of them. The light and transparent gauze curtain made the two people's expressions look a little unpredictable.

After a long time, he said something meaningful in a cold voice, "The rain is about to come and the wind is blowing all over the building."

Since the news that the emperor was going to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to the gods was spread, the remnants of the six kingdoms began to move. Today, the assassination of the two princes was just the beginning, just a stone hitting the calm water surface, and the undercurrents will be revealed tomorrow.

Today, he is a prince of Qin, who knows who will be tomorrow.

On the high throne, sat the supreme.

The crimson veil fell with the wind.

Hu Hai showed a face that often made people less vigilant, even if he didn't smile. He didn't look as serious as Ying Zheng when he was young, but rather quite cute. But Zhao Gao had been with him for many years, and not only knew that the smile on his face was cute, but also knew that he inherited the decisive and ruthless character in Ying Zheng's nature.

He seemed to be the most innocent among the princes and the closest to his elder brother Fusu, but this was only for the people he liked.

People of the royal family were born with the cold-blooded nature of the royal family's domination of others. Zhao Gao did not doubt that if he had the experience of Ying Zheng's early years, he would not be weaker than his father. But he is just a child raised in the deep palace. Although he is cold-blooded, he is not good at practical things. With a little guidance, he can become a perfect chess piece in his hands.
