Master and Bandit Commander

44

Seeing him in a dilemma, Ren Xiang continued to add more firewood: "I know what you think, you have to hold things in your hands to be at ease, but the timing never waits for anyone. Think about it, if the third prince really takes the first step to ascend the throne, However, our secret edict has not yet been delivered to the crown prince. Isn’t this a delay in the battle? Are the people of this world going to be in dire straits? Neither you nor I can afford this big crime.”

The consequences he said were really serious, Ye Changsheng was indeed a little shaken, he was just making a final struggle: "But, but Dad said to let me pick it up, what if something goes wrong along the way?"

"The teacher said that it's good for you to come and get it, but the main purpose is to let you get it with your own hands to confirm its safety, and then arrange for a trustworthy person to send it back, so that I can ensure that the person who came is not a spy." Ren Xiang said sincerity.

"Let me think about it." Ye Changsheng was moved by the persuasion, and after contemplating for a while, he finally decided to think about it alone. After all, this is a big matter, and he dared not make a decision rashly.

The three of them returned to the inner courtyard by the same route. Ye Changsheng's school boys and maids had been waiting for a long time. When they saw someone coming out, they naturally moved over happily, chirping and asking this and that.

"Play on your own first, I have something to think about." Ye Changsheng had other things on his mind and was not in the mood to play with them, so he just walked into his room sullenly with the things in his arms.The servants didn't know why, after looking at each other for a while, they all ran to squat in front of the little master's door, waiting to listen to orders at any time.

Chu Liuxiang glanced at Ren Xiang, who was calm and composed beside him, and said with a chuckle, "Master Ren seems to be in a good mood."

Ren Xiang hated him for being so confident that he seemed to know everything. Hearing this, he smirked and responded to him: "I have solved a major matter on my mind, so I am naturally happy."

"Heh..." Chu Liuxiang smiled again in a vague way, "Yeah, I finally found a decent reason to keep him and hide him, so I'm naturally happy, but I don't know if Changsheng knew his most respected 'Brother Ren' How sad it would be to lie to him."

Ren Xiang's expression changed drastically, "Where did you start talking about?"

Chu Liuxiang restrained her smile, and said seriously: "Changsheng can't see it with a little experience, but it doesn't mean that Chu can't see it either. The whole matter can't stand up to careful scrutiny. If there is such a secret edict, Why did he, a squeamish nobleman, go all the way here to get things? Mr. Ren, you just send someone you can trust to secretly send him to the capital. There was no need for such a trouble, anyway, he still has to bother you when he comes. Go run errands."

"Besides, he is weak, and if he encounters a cold on the road, he will die. No matter what he thinks, the Ye family will never let him take such a big risk. In my opinion, this matter from the beginning to the end is just a way to lure him out of the capital. I'm afraid that the so-called secret edict wrapped in wax in his arms is also a blank sheet of paper?"

Ren Xiang stared at Chu Liuxiang with a cold face for a while, and then said: "It is said that Chu Xiang is handsome and smart, and now I see that his reputation is indeed well-deserved. It took only three or two days to figure out all the truth, and Ren admires it. "

"That's right, the whole thing was indeed planned by us, as you imagined." He simply admitted it generously.

The suspicion in her heart was affirmed, and Chu Liuxiang was not surprised: "As expected."

"But what we did was to let him leave the quagmire of power entanglements, and to protect him intact."

"Mr. Chu is a member of the Jianghu, and he may not understand some things above the court. This is not a gadget for you people in the martial arts to fight and kill. If it is not good, it is going to copy the family and punish the nine clans! The identity of the Ye family is at stake. There, whether they like it or not, they have to have their own stand. If the prince wins, their family will naturally have a bright future. If the prince loses, the new emperor will never allow those who support the prince to live. Everyone related to Sheng, including Sheng, is afraid that their heads will be lost."

"I think you should know a little bit about the stakes in this. The teacher wants to save the last hope for the Ye family. Changsheng's temperament seems soft and easy to handle, but in fact, when some things get stubborn, no one can control them. , what else can I do if I don’t use this method to trick him out of the dragon’s pond and tiger’s den!”

Chu Liuxiang listened to Ren Xiang's words in silence, and finally sighed: "I, a warrior, really don't know much about the affairs of the court, but you are all lying to him like this. If he knows the truth in time, wouldn't it be even more troublesome?"

"That's better than falling into the hands of the third prince!" Ren Xiang was a little excited, "The third prince...he had such nasty thoughts about Changsheng, and the Ye family fell into Changsheng's hands and suffered." That kind of insult, why not go with the Ye family!"

Shocked by the news, Chu Liuxiang was stunned for a long time, "You mean...the third prince has thoughts about Chang Sheng?"

"Exactly, I have been away from the capital for more than ten years. I heard all this from my senior brother, the second young master of the Ye family. He sent me a letter and earnestly asked me to keep Changsheng. If the Ye family really It's overturned, even if Changsheng can be an ordinary person in the future, at least under my protection, he can spend the rest of his life in this fairly affluent place, which is better than being his little pet with the third prince! "

"Chu Xiangshuai, if you really regard Changsheng as a friend, if you are willing to pity the efforts of the Ye family, please don't tell him these things, just let him think that there is really a secret edict, let him Be happy for as long as you can, please!" Ren Xiang said as he was about to kneel down.

Chu Liuxiang quickly pulled him back: "What is Master Ren doing, please get up quickly. Chu is not that unreasonable person, I understand what Master Ren said, I... will not tell him."

"My thoughts are the same as that of Lord Ren and the Ye family, please rest assured, Lord Ren." Chu Liuxiang assured.

Seeing his sincerity, Ren Xiang was quietly relieved. He knew that people like Chu Liuxiang valued promises the most, and once they promised something, they would definitely do it.

"I am also relieved of the words of Xiangshuai." Ren Xiang raised his sleeves and wiped the slight drops of water from the corners of his eyes, "You may not know, but news came from Beijing two days ago that the crown prince was deposed gone."

"What!?" Chu Liuxiang was shocked, even a martial artist knew what abolishing the crown prince meant to the entire country.

"It's true. The teacher's letter has already said that the Ye family is now in a storm. Although the crown prince has been secretly sent to the Northwest Camp by them overnight, but the fact that things have come to this point means... The battle is about to see blood."

"The power of the three princes' and mother's clan should not be underestimated. His concubine's family is also a branch of the Pingnan Army with heavy troops, and the prince's side is basically equal in power. If the two parties really fight, the capital will definitely be bloody. "Ren Xiang said heartbrokenly, "No one is willing to fight, but the matter has come to this point, if Chang Sheng goes back at this juncture, it will undoubtedly cut a knife in the Ye family's heart."

Chu Liuxiang nodded, "Unexpectedly, the situation in the court has become so serious. Prime Minister Ye's decision is correct. If Chang Sheng returns at this time, it will definitely distract the entire Ye family."

The two were discussing the situation in the court in the middle court, and they gradually had some thoughts of mutual sympathy, and soon became friends.

Ye Changsheng was bored in the room alone, he could understand all of Ren Xiang's meaning, what he was afraid of was what would happen if there was something wrong with this thing, but if he sent it back by himself, it would waste time, so he could only be in a dilemma.

When Chu Liuxiang opened the door and walked in, he was still thinking about it.

Having promised Ren Xiang to keep this secret, Chu Liuxiang's mind has changed again now, no matter whether Chang Sheng will blame him if he knows everything in the future, he will do it, nothing is more important than his life.

"Still thinking about it?" He walked over and sat down, looking at Chang Sheng's frowning expression and smiled.

"Well, brother Chu, how do you think I should make a decision?" Ye Changsheng trusted him very much, so he asked directly.

Looking at him with such trusting eyes, Chu Liuxiang felt a little guilty that she wanted to lie to him, so she could only force herself to calm down: "I think Master Ren is right, you should listen to him."

"You think so too?" Ye Changsheng said sullenly, "But what if something goes wrong?"

"You should trust Mr. Ren, just like you trust me." Chu Liuxiang enlightened him, "Prime Minister Ye said that he can be trusted, so you have no hesitation."

"I don't distrust my brother." Ye Changsheng was dissatisfied.

Chu Liuxiang shook his head: "Look at this road, even if I take good care of you, you still have minor illnesses from time to time, don't you? Brother Chu can't sleep soundly every night, just because I'm afraid that you will fall asleep again. If you catch a cold while stepping on the quilt, and you are picky eaters and refuse to eat this or that, is it a waste of time for you to talk about it yourself?"

Ye Changsheng was a little ashamed by what he said, and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I, I..."

Chu Liuxiang opened his arms and hugged him into his arms: "I didn't say so much to make you feel ashamed, Changsheng, brother Chu hopes you pay more attention to your body, the road to the capital is too far, I'm afraid you will get sick. "

His voice was too gentle, Ye Changsheng blushed: "Then, then I'll let Brother Ren deliver the letter."

"Okay, Changsheng is so good." Chu Liuxiang kissed him on the forehead, "You are going back now to share your father's thoughts, and when the secret edict is issued to announce that the situation in the world is stable, brother Chu will take you home in a good mood ,OK?"

Ye Changsheng got up from his arms, stared into Chu Liuxiang's eyes, and replied blankly, "Okay."

The corners of Chu Liuxiang's lips raised a nice curve, then she lowered her head slightly, and gnawed down on that pretty chubby mouth: "This is a reward."
