As soon as Xiao Qi stepped into the room, he saw that there was already someone in the room. He straightened his expression and said respectfully, "My lord."

"Do you know why this king is here?" Zhao Ling stood with his hands behind his back, without turning to look at Xiao Qi.

"The last general has served His Majesty after all, so he should go and have a look." Xiao Qi did not hide anything, "Did you offend the prince?"

Zhao Ling tilted his head and looked at him, "The dying man, why should I bother with him."

"Then why did the prince find the last general?" Xiao Qi said.

Zhao Ling turned around and said with a light smile, "I want to see what your expression will be when you know Zhao Chen is going to die."

"My lord is serious, I will not have any undue thoughts in the end."

"Whether it's true or just acting, I don't care about you. But Xiao Qi, I want to remind you, think about your relatives, they are all waiting for you. For the sake of a useless person with no future, will you play tricks again?" Really worth it."

Xiao Qi said: "The last general dare not."

"Why don't you dare." Zhao Ling covered his lips and smiled, with a cold light in his eyes, "Isn't it you who blocked that arrow in the Bairi Hall?" After speaking, he felt amused again, "You two People, it's really strange that you stabbed the knife on Zhao Chen yourself. This king also came to hurt him, but you started to protect him."

Xiao Qi gritted her teeth secretly, "At that time, if the prince killed His Majesty, he would be cast aside by the people of the world. Could it be that the prince doesn't care?"

"This king only wants this position." Zhao Ling shrugged, "It doesn't matter if people in the world spurn this king, then this king will kill all the people in the world."

His words have no warmth, how can such a person take on such a big responsibility.Xiao Qi said, "If that's the case, whose king is the prince?"

Zhao Ling glanced at him, "It doesn't matter, this king is the emperor, that's enough."

Xiao Qi also knew that he couldn't understand Zhao Ling, so he could only say, "My lord still decides to take your majesty's life? In fact, my lord can send your majesty far to the frontier, and earn a good reputation."

"My king is not stupid. Keeping him is just breeding tigers. The Zhao Chen of tomorrow will be my king today." Zhao Ling sneered.

"My lord, you have to think again, it is impossible to kill all the people in the world!"

"Zhao Chen must die! But I feel that what you said is somewhat reasonable." Zhao Ling smiled, "Then let General Xiao come forward to help me solve this problem, okay?"

Xiao Qi paused, "Is the lord going to...kill His Majesty?"

"No, it's not that the king wants you to kill him, it's you who want to kill him." Zhao Ling patted Xiao Qi on the shoulder, "Ah Wu, don't forget your mother and brothers. After speaking, Zhao Ling laughed and left Xiao Qi's residence.

"Your Majesty." Early the next morning, Xiao Qi came to the dungeon again.For some reason, Zhao Chen always felt that Xiao Qi's braid was a little skewed today, even a little messy.

"Xiao Qi, your hair is so messed up. After all, you are a general, so why don't you care about your appearance any more?" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, this minister likes it very much." Xiao Qi coughed a few times, somewhat unnaturally.

Zhao Chen thought for a while, then suddenly realized, "You didn't take your hair off all night, did you?" Just when Xiao Qi thought that the atmosphere had reached the point where his mind was about to be fully exposed, Zhao Chen said a little treacherously, " Xiao Qi, you don't know how to braid your hair, do you?"

Xiao Qi twitched the corners of her mouth, His Majesty is really...as always incomprehensible. "My minister has important matters to discuss with His Majesty, how can I care about these things."

Zhao Chen signaled Xiao Qi to continue, "King Qingling wants to kill them all."

"I know." Zhao Chen was not surprised, "That day he killed the second brother, and I knew that this day would come sooner or later. Everyone used to say that the second brother was cruel and the fourth brother was kind. Who knows if it is true or not? I can tell the difference."

"Your Majesty has countermeasures," Xiao Qi said.

"I have to die. If I don't die, Zhao Ling can't let go. If he doesn't feel at ease, how can we turn defeat into victory."

Xiao Qi nodded, "Your Majesty is right, but King Qingling is cunning, so what if he doubts it."

"Then make it so that he can't doubt it." Zhao Chen said, "Tomorrow, you will set fire to this dungeon, and tell him to watch me burn to death with his own eyes."

Xiao Qi's eyes widened, and he grabbed Zhao Chen's shoulder, "If that's the case, how can your majesty escape!?" Zhao Chen looked at him silently for a few seconds, perhaps aware of his own situation, Xiao Qi quickly let go, The voice was a little low, "It's the minister who overstepped the rules."

"I don't blame you." Zhao Chen said lightly, "Who's dungeon doesn't have a secret passage left by escape, and this place is no exception."

"King Qingling will see how His Majesty escapes."

"Who said that if he wants to get so close, it's enough for him to see my corpse." Zhao Chen blinked slyly. "Have you gotten in touch with Gu Youming?"

"Yes. Master Gu rescued Deputy General Zhang. They have already met outside the city. The Qingling King's people don't know that Master Gu is here." Xiao Qi said.

"That's good. After I leave, you send me to meet them outside the city. The day of Zhao Ling's enthronement ceremony is the day when we turn around."

"Yes." Xiao Qi felt a little excited, finally, everything was going back to the original track again.

"You... Zhao Ling won't think too much about you coming here." Zhao Chen hesitated.

Xiao Qi shook his head, "He expects that Dingchen will obey his orders in the end, but there are no restrictions on the minister's actions."

Looking at him, Zhao Chen always didn't know how to speak, hesitated for a moment and finally just sighed.Xiao Qi looked at him and seemed to understand, "Your Majesty wants to ask about Taiping?"

"Well... I, I can't let him go." Zhao Chen said, "He was poisoned, and Zhao Ling's arrow killed him again. His life is safe now..."

"He is still fine. I picked up the bottle of antidote in the hall, but his poison has only been relieved. When the poison should be onset, he still can't escape." Xiao Qi said, "I think that your majesty I won't forgive him."

"I didn't. Taiping has been with me for more than ten years, so I shouldn't have killed him after all. It's just that I can't keep him by my side anymore." Zhao Chen sighed, "After all, my heart is still not cruel enough. I still remember my father once said that ruthlessness is extremely important in the way of being a king."

"After I ascended the throne, I couldn't bear to kill my ambitious brother. It's the same now. After all, I still couldn't have the heart to kill Jiang Taiping." Zhao Chen smiled wryly, "From this point of view, Zhao Ling is better than me. It is more suitable for this position. Xiao Qi, do you think I am a good king after all?"

Xiao Qi said: "Who stipulated this way? Why should your majesty be like others? This way is your majesty's own. It doesn't matter what is the way of the king. Ruthlessness is important, but it is not necessary. Besides, your majesty Now he is the best king I have ever seen."

Zhao Chen still smiled after all, "You have met several kings, how do you know that I am the best."

"I just know." Xiao Qi was strangely stubborn on this issue.

Zhao Chen smiled, looked at Xiao Qi standing beside him, and for no reason thought of the black dog that was secretly raised outside the palace when he was a child, which is really... apt.Zhao Chen covered his lips and laughed again, Xiao Qi tilted his head not knowing what it meant.
