The Male Wife

Pei Cheng doesn't quite understand why the second prince wants to cooperate with the foreign army, "Didn't the second prince escape? Why did he choose to cooperate with the foreign army? Like this...he will probably be buried in the foreign army for the rest of his life." hands."

Jiang Linzhi's mind is complicated.

Chu Jingtian lowered his eyes, "I overheard my father talking to his disciples last night. I don't know very well. I wanted to ask my father carefully, but he was unwilling to tell me. .”

"But why hasn't the news reached the imperial capital yet? Was it blocked by the second prince, or by the imperial capital?"

Pei Cheng asked.

Chu Jingtian shook his head and said: "I heard that the second prince is only initially cooperating with the foreign army, but the entire Huacheng was blocked because the second prince colluded with the local government, and then locked the city gate with money. Now Huacheng can't get in or out, and our people don't know what the news is inside."

Pei Cheng pondered for a while, and saw that Jiang Linzhi, who was sitting beside him, hadn't said a word from the beginning to the end, and immediately realized something was wrong. He felt that Jiang Linzhi might have known something a long time ago, "Jiang Linzhi, are you Didn't get the news long ago."

At the beginning, Chu Jingtian was worried that Jiang Linzhi didn't know that Huacheng was blocked by the second prince, so he chose to tell Jiang Linzhi, but he didn't expect to hear Pei Cheng say this suddenly.

Chu Jing raised his head consciously and looked at Jiang Linzhi, only to see the man looking indifferently ahead, his expression full of indifference.

"Ah."

Neither Chu Jingtian nor Pei Cheng expected that Jiang Linzhi would have received the news long ago.

Jiang Linzhi frowned, and said to Chu Jingtian: "These are news that should be blocked by the royal family. You shouldn't spread it casually. If someone knows it, it will cause panic in the entire imperial capital. You will be punished by the new emperor."

Chu Jingtian suddenly felt aggrieved. He knew that Jiang Linzhi would not care about whether he would be punished by the new emperor because of the news of the oblique road in the Bauhinia Houye Mansion. Jiang Linzhi was only worried about Pei Cheng's mood after hearing the news. will be sad.

However, Chu Jingtian couldn't say anything.

Chu Jingtian felt quite aggrieved, "Although the news is blocked in the imperial capital city, this method really hides it from the common people. For some people, like Chu Xun who watched Jiang Linzhi, they can't hide it at all. living."

Jiang Linzhi said indifferently: "Young Lord, you come out, do you know about the Redbud Lord? If he finds out that you should not have known about this because of eavesdropping, I'm afraid you won't be able to go out for a while .”

Chu Jingtian suddenly felt even more wronged, this Jiang Linzhi was clearly threatening him, he heard it.

Obviously when he begged Jiang Linzhi for help, he didn't see Jiang Linzhi angry, but because he told Pei Cheng that Huacheng was occupied by the second prince and then blocked, Jiang Linzhi was angry.

Why did this person put Pei Cheng on top of Wuwu Pavilion?Does he like Pei Cheng that much?

Thinking of this, Chu Jingtian couldn't help looking at Pei Cheng. He didn't think that Pei Cheng had anything better than him, but looking at it horizontally and vertically, it seemed that Jiang Linzhi liked Pei Cheng very much.

Chu Jingtian felt wronged, "Why did you threaten me? I risked my life to tell you this, not to hear you say these threats to me. Is it necessary for you to do this?"

After a pause, Chu Jing was in a bad mood, and continued: "I won't tell you anymore. Pei Cheng, it has been about five or six days since Huacheng was occupied by the second prince, and now the foreign army is also coming from afar, planning to Bypassing the guards at the frontier, sneaking to Hwaseong to help the second prince occupy Hwaseong."

Pei Cheng frowned, "Could it be that the second prince really thought that the foreign army sneaked around the border guards and came to Huacheng, and he really came here to help him protect Huacheng? If he was really chased away by the foreign army, When we arrive in Huacheng, Huacheng will take down a city without a single soldier. The second prince is too arrogant."

Chu Jingtian couldn't help but nodded, this time he agreed with Pei Cheng's words, "But now the second prince has sealed off Huacheng. Two days ago, when the guards of the imperial capital rushed to Huacheng, they planned to follow the new emperor's order. I mean to seek peace with the second prince, no matter what, now we have to defend against the enemy and heal the disease at home. How can we have the manpower and energy to deal with the foreign army and the second prince at the same time, so the new emperor only wants to make peace with the second prince first , when the foreign army withdraws, we will sit down and have a good discussion with the second prince."

Discuss such nonsense carefully, presumably the current second prince will not easily believe it.Pei Cheng thought in his heart, in fact, not only the second prince, but even Pei Cheng himself felt that such words were false.

Chu Jingtian complained: "In this case, even if we don't believe it, let alone the second prince, the second prince has been fighting wits and courage with the new emperor for so many years, and the two of them are very familiar with each other's tricks. How could... ...So, the second prince is unwilling to agree to the new emperor's peace proposal now, and now the two sides are at a stalemate, and they don't know how to stop the troops from sneaking over."

"The new emperor is now in a state of distress because of the second prince and the foreign troops who are gradually moving to Hwaseong. Even the enthronement ceremony that was still in discussion with the ministers has been postponed. I don't know when the enthronement ceremony will be held." Chu Jingtian said mockingly.

Jiang Linzhi said: "After the new emperor ascended the throne, he had a great influence on the second prince. Otherwise, if it was the second prince in previous years, he would definitely not choose to cooperate with the foreign army when the foreign army made a surprise attack, and he would not Cooperate with Panic."

Pei Cheng frowned, doubtful in his heart: "But, the new emperor has just come to power, so it stands to reason that he wouldn't make such a fuss with his younger brother. After all, it's not good for the reputation of Hua. But why is the second prince unwilling to believe the new emperor?" The emperor's words?"

"Because this matter is not as simple as imagined." Jiang Linzhi said lightly, "Although the new emperor ascends the throne, it is not easy to kill, but if the second prince really obeys the new emperor, he will not cooperate with the foreign army, but wait for Jiang Wei to fight back If the second prince uses Huacheng to threaten the new emperor, then the new emperor will have a reason and have time for Jiang Wei to lead troops to Huacheng from the frontier."

"The strength of Hwaseong is compared to that of a group of soldiers who returned from the battlefield. Tell me, if there is a real fight, will the second prince of Hwaseong win, or Jiang Wei, who returned from the battlefield, will win?" Jiang Wei Linzhi said indifferently, "At that time, the second prince will be caught by Jiang Wei and sent to the new emperor. Life and death will be decided by the new emperor."

Pei Cheng really didn't think about this level, he just thought that once the new emperor agreed to discuss with the second prince, and when the army retreated, the new emperor would see the brotherhood in the past and the happy event just enthroned Come on, spare the second prince.

But what Jiang Linzhi told Chu Jingtian told Pei Cheng why the second prince was unwilling to do this.

It turned out that this royal man's mind was really Linglong's mind, twisting and turning, as if he couldn't see the edge at a glance.

Chu Jingtian's mind is not so clear, but he has been in the royal family for a long time, and his father also explained to him why the second prince left with the treasury after confirming that the new emperor is the eldest prince.

Because if he stayed, he would either die or be dispatched. In this case, he would not continue to stay.

Pei Cheng said: "But Hwaseong's military strength is not enough, what does the second prince rely on, thinking that he can hold Hwaseong before the arrival of foreign troops?"

Jiang Linzhi said: "Because there are many people in Hwaseong, and there are many wealthy families."

"What does this mean?" Pei Cheng was stunned.

"Although the economic strength of Huacheng is not as strong as that of God's capital, it is not very weak. Therefore, as long as he occupies Huacheng, even if the new emperor is dissatisfied, he will not act rashly." Jiang Linzhi said lightly, "There are many people in Huacheng, and there are many rich people. If you act rashly, you will be in a hurry. I don't know what the second prince will do to the people in Huacheng."

"What if we can't go back to Hwaseong again?" Pei Cheng suddenly thought of another thing, "What if we can't go back to Hwaseong?"

Jiang Lin was startled and looked at Pei Cheng, "Do you want to go back now?"

"I'm worried that Hwaseong will no longer belong to Huaguo in the future." Pei Cheng said in a melancholy tone, he didn't want Hwaseong to cease to be Hwaseong because of the fight between the second prince and the new emperor. A rich city called Hwaseong will be cut off from the territory.

That was the home where he grew up.

"There is no need to worry about this. It will be resolved naturally. It's just a matter of time." Jiang Linzhi comforted Pei Cheng with a tone of course. Obviously, Jiang Linzhi really felt that the second prince now occupies Huacheng. It was just a matter of time, and soon things will be reversed.

Pei Cheng believed it.

Chu Jingtian, who was sitting on the side, looked at the appearance of these two people, and listened to the natural and casual tone of their conversation, and felt a little sour in his heart. It took him a long time in the past to become half-acquainted friends with Jiang Linzhi , although he always said he didn't care, how could he really not care.

Originally, Chu Jingtian always thought that Jiang Linzhi's nature was such that he could not talk or coax others, but now seeing Jiang Linzhi coaxing Pei Cheng, how could Chu Jingtian say these words to comfort himself .

For the first time, he felt cheap.

The very cheap kind.

Fortunately, Chu Jingtian had already installed a man named Jiang Wei in his heart.So even if he is unhappy with Jiang Linzhi's attitude towards himself and Pei Cheng, he will not be as sad as before.

However, looking at the scene in front of him, he still felt uncomfortable.

Jiang Linzhi said: "Is there something else for the young master to come here?"

No more.

Chu Jingtian somehow felt that he was rejected. He stood up and said, "Probably not."

Jiang Linzhi saw that Pei Cheng was not feeling well, so he stopped staying with Chu Jingtian, "Butler, let's see off the guests."

Chu Jingtian: "..."

It turned out that he was really disgusted.
