The Great Hero [Comprehensive Martial Arts]

The reason why Chu Xiao was in a hurry to get things done was simple.

He just wanted to meet Gong Jiu before King Taiping, and colluded with the confession.

After all, if King Taiping finds out about calling each other bastards, both of them will be unlucky, and they will have to kneel in the ancestral temple for a few days to confess their mistakes and repent.

Of course, if Chu Xiao guarantees that Gong Jiu can appear in the capital within one and a half months, it is not aimless.

After confirming that Gong Jiu was the heir of Prince Taiping, Zhu Xiao immediately sent down an order, asking the spy lurking on Wuming Island to deliver a message to Gong Jiu.

At that time, King Taiping had not yet arrived in the capital.

Calculating the time, the spies should have received his orders in the past two days. As long as everything goes well, Gong Jiu will definitely arrive in the capital before the Lantern Festival.

however.

Chu Xiao, who felt that everything was under control, never imagined that his plan would suffer from Waterloo at the very beginning.

When the spy received the order, Gong Jiu had just left Wuming Island, and then he was beaten up instead of pretending to be coercive, and Ye Gucheng was detained in Baiyun City as a 'meeting gift'.

In the next few days, I don't know whether it is luck or misfortune. The weather in the South China Sea has been very bad, and the sea is very windy and rough every day, making it impossible to sail.

Therefore, Gong Jiu's delay in returning did not arouse suspicion.

It wasn't until the end of the new year that the weather finally improved.

but--

As soon as the new year was over, Ye Gucheng immediately took all the meeting gifts including Gong Jiu, and went all the way to the capital!

Stayed on the unnamed island until the wind was messy and didn't see Gong Jiuhui's spy on the island's guard dragon guard: Where's the person? ? ?

On the other side, in the Forbidden City, Chu Xiao, who didn't know that his lover was coming, was busy doing things.

Well, help his royal brother to do things together.

Chu Xiao collected a lot of information during his previous trip out of the palace, such as the detailed records of the Minister of the Ministry of Households taking advantage of his position to fill his own pockets, and the Ministry of Officials so-and-so randomly arranged official positions for the family's idiot son, nephew, and nephew. Pay, the chief arrester of the Six Doors actually works part-time as a gangster in private...

Emperor Qing made such a big move all of a sudden, and the court would naturally be in chaos. Fortunately, King Taiping was sitting in Beijing.

King Taiping, who controls most of the military power in the imperial court, is like a living bodhisattva, firmly pressing on the heads of the group of rebellious officials who are about to jump over the wall in a catastrophe, completely cutting off their way of life.

One after another courtiers who used to be high in power and could even shake Emperor Qing's right to speak were imprisoned, and then quickly replaced their official positions by young blood who had been favored by Emperor Qing early on. Among them, there is one who is particularly eye-catching.

The fifth son of Hua Ruling's family, the richest man in Jiangnan, Hua Yunxi.

He was only 27 years old, and he took the vacancy of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance directly from a seventh-rank official of the Ministry of Accounting.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a step up to the sky.

The two elders of the Hua family were overjoyed to receive this good news.

The ancestors of the Hua family have been in business for generations, and their descendants have produced many children who are extremely talented in business, and they have also produced heroes who have done well in the Jianghu. In a hundred years, there is really only the fifth son of the Hua family.

Although it is not practiced nowadays that "everything is inferior, only reading is high", in the eyes of many people, it is still very worthwhile to have a champion named on the gold list, or a descendant who is an official in the court. One thing to be proud of.

Even the wealthy Hua family is no exception.

Hua Ruling first entertained his relatives and friends in the south of the Yangtze River for a few days, and then asked Hua Manlou to go to the capital in person to present congratulatory gifts to the fifth son of his glorious family——

On this day, when Emperor Qing summoned Hua Yunxi, Chu Xiao also rushed to join in the fun.

He was originally just curious, and wanted to see what Hua Manlou's real brother looked like. As for whether he wanted to make friends with him or not... it all depended on the situation (value).

If the other party looks particularly pleasing to the eye, Chu Xiao will definitely be happy to make friends with the other party.

The results of it.

Chu Xiao had just touched the edge of the window, and before he had time to take a closer look, he was spoiled by a guy who didn't have long eyes.

"Hey—little prince! What are you doing?"

Wang An, who was guarding the door of the imperial study room, had actually noticed Chu Xiao's arrival a long time ago, but out of some thoughts, he deliberately pretended not to see it, and did not make a sound to inform Emperor Qing.

The next development was just as Wang An expected.

The little prince who always regarded the palace rules as nothing really committed a taboo again.

Although Emperor Qing always showed an attitude of doting on his younger brother, Wang An thought that, as an emperor, no matter how much he valued brotherhood, it was impossible for Emperor Qing to not have the slightest suspicion and precautions against Chu Xiao.

He was thinking, as long as he continued to apply eye drops to Chu Xiao in front of Emperor Qing, one day, Emperor Qing would definitely take the opportunity to send Chu Xiao down because of this deepening suspicion.

As the saying goes, a phoenix on the ground is not as good as a chicken.

Once Chu Xiao loses power, he will naturally not worry that he will not find a chance to retaliate.

Chu Xiao: "..."

To tell the truth, no matter how many times he has been taught a lesson like Wang An, he can never learn to remember, and is so obsessed with dying for decades, it is really rare.

Was he afraid that he would live too long?

Or is it a little itchy after not being beaten for a while?

Just when Chu Xiao raised his arm and was about to punch Wang An's old face that needed to be punched, Emperor Qing, who heard the movement and realized that the situation was not good, opened the door in time, and stepped out with a stride like Inadvertently stopped between the two.

"I said why there is so much noise outside all of a sudden, it turns out that Xiao Xiao is here."

Emperor Qing, who had long been experienced in dealing with such occasions, first expressed his great surprise at the arrival of his younger brother, and then gave Wang An a serious reprimand.

"The same goes for you, old slave. Didn't I tell you long ago that no matter when the prince comes over, you just let him go. There is no need to waste time passing it back and forth."

Chu Xiao squeezed his fingers unwillingly, and secretly poked Emperor Qing at an angle that Wang An couldn't see.

"??"

Emperor Qing didn't understand, so he looked back from the corner of his eyes.

"Brother Huang, just let me beat him to vent my anger." Chu Xiao moved his lips slightly, and said to Emperor Qing: "I promise to control the strength and never beat anyone to death."

Emperor Qing thought that would not work.

If Chu Xiao really wanted to do something, Wang An would be half-crippled even if he didn't die.

Of course, the reason why Emperor Qing stopped his younger brother was not because of the old master-servant relationship between Gu Nian and Wang An, but because he felt that now was not the best time to get angry with Wang An - it would still be useful for him to keep Wang An.

So I can only wrong Chu Xiao and bear it a little longer.

Feeling a little guilty, Emperor Qing blinked at his younger brother, trying to express comfort... However, in Chu Xiao's view, his appearance was more like eye cramps, or a sudden facial nerve disorder?

Cough, just kidding.

Of course Chu Xiao could see what his royal brother meant.

But he still wanted to teach Wang An a lesson.

"Eunuch Wang seems to be getting old, and his brain is not working well." Chu Xiao stepped forward, gave Wang An a sneer full of malice, then lowered his voice, and suggested threateningly: "I have a friend here." It’s a good way to make people remember longer, would you like to try it, Eunuch Wang?”

Wang An's legs went limp in fright, and he subconsciously raised his hands to cover his head.

I was afraid that Chu Xiao would beat him into a fool or something.

Emperor Qing helplessly raised his head and looked far away, pretending that he didn't see anything... well, the wind was blowing a little too hard, so he couldn't even hear the sound clearly.

Wang An, who thought Emperor Qing could protect him, really couldn't stand now.

He knelt down on the ground with a plop, ruthless, and while slapping his mouth, he cautiously begged for mercy from Chu Xiao: "My lord, calm down, it's because my slave has a bad memory, please be merciful, my lord, and forgive me once—"

"Be merciful?"

Chu Xiao raised his eyebrows with a smile that was not a smile, and interrupted Wang An's words of begging for mercy, "Why should this king show mercy to your subordinates? Do you have such a big face?"

"No no no no."

Wang An hurriedly shook his head, racking his brains to think of a countermeasure.

Chu Xiao is different from Emperor Qing, he doesn't like relying on the old and selling the old at all, and has a very violent temper, often resorting to force when he disagrees with each other... This ancestor doesn't take softness and hardliness!What else can he do besides admitting his fate? !

After about half a cup of tea, Wang An's face was already swollen by himself.

Only then did Emperor Qing persuade with a look of reluctance: "Forget it, Xiaoxiao, your body has just recovered, don't turn around and get angry over such a trivial matter, it's not worth it."

Chu Xiao rubbed his chin, which seemed to be a sign of being persuaded.

Emperor Qing continued his efforts: "If you think he is an eyesore by staying here, you can just punish him to face the wall and think about it. There is an old saying? Out of sight is pure."

"……All right."

After pondering for a while, Chu Xiao finally nodded.

Wang An, who had survived the catastrophe, almost didn't cry. He kowtowed to Emperor Qing with great gratitude, and then without waiting for Chu Xiao to speak, he hid his face and ran away in silence.

After Wang An retreated, Emperor Qing and Chu Xiao looked at each other.

On the dissimilar faces of the two brothers, a sly look flashed at the same time.

After capturing this scene, the fifth young master of the Hua family who was forgotten in the imperial study couldn't help sighing in his heart, rumors really shouldn't be easily believed.

What is gentle, generous and good-tempered, what is weak and sickly.

It's all a lie, right?
