At the front of the team, Xiao Chen saw Bai Qi, who was sitting in the carriage drinking wine alone.

Seeing Xiao Chen, Bai Qi showed a smile, waved to Xiao Chen and said: "I'm bored at night, so I came here to sit with the prince. Is the prince interested in having a drink with me, the general?"

Nodding, Xiao Chen stepped onto the carriage. Although the space of the carriage was not as spacious as Xiao Chen's, it was still enough for the two of them to sit down. Two wine glasses and a plate of peanuts had already been placed on the table.

Xiao Chen sat down in front of Bai Qi, and Bai Qi quickly poured Xiao Chen a glass of wine with his own hands.

"This is the rosemary I specially brought from Kyoto. They are good wines that have been produced for decades. I heard that the prince is a good wine connoisseur. I am afraid that I will ask the prince to taste whether this wine is authentic or not. If it is

If there is a lie, I will definitely not be able to spare the liquor dealer when I return to Beijing."

He picked up the wine glass and put it to his nose and sniffed it gently. Xiao Chen chuckled and said, "Who dares to lie to you, General Bai, in the Kingdom of Wei."

Bai Qi laughed loudly, waved his hands and said: "It's impossible to say. Although I have some false reputation in Wei State, there are so many things that I do behind the scenes. There are some things that should always be guarded against?"

Xiao Chen smiled and said nothing. He didn't believe that Bai Qi invited him here just to treat him to a wine tasting.

After a pause, Xiao Chen looked at Bai Qi and said, "To be honest with you, general, after I went back and thought about it over and over again, I still don't understand why the general wanted to facilitate my marriage with King Xunxi."

Bai Qi was slightly startled, looked at Xiao Chen and said, "This is not like you Xiao Chen."

"Oh?!" Xiao Chen said with a hint of curiosity on his face, "How did you say this?"

Bai Qi said: "If you were in Kyoto, you must have been thinking about whether Linghu Jin is as beautiful as the rumors."

Xiao Chen put down his wine glass and said: "After all, it was the general who prompted it. No matter how greedy Xiao Chen is, he should think more about why."

Bai Qi quickly waved his hands and said, "It's wrong of you to say that. It makes me, Bai Qi, have the same purpose in everything I do. I should have a drink."

Looking at Bai Qi holding up the wine glass, Xiao Chen picked up the wine glass and touched it lightly.

The mountain road was a bit bumpy, and the carriage was shaking. Bai Qi's body swayed with the shaking of the carriage. Putting down the wine glass, Bai Qi twisted a peanut with his hand and put it into his mouth, smashed it and said: "Actually, the most important thing is

I'd like to help you and Linghu Chu resolve this grudge. Think about it, one of you is the prince of Yong'an, and the other is the prince of two cities on the southwest border. If there is a conflict because of these things, wouldn't it be me, Wei?

Disaster for the country?”

Having said this, Bai Qi took a deep look at Xiao Chen and said, "It's you, Xiao Chen, who surprised me today. If those more than a thousand martial arts knights were placed on the battlefield, they would be no less than a powerful armored cavalry. It would be a shame to the world."

Everyone thinks that you, Xiao Chen, only have 5,000 black armors in Yong'an City, but this move of yours has made even Linghu Chu suffer a heavy loss."

Xiao Chen quickly waved his hand to clear the relationship: "General, this matter has nothing to do with me. Those people are all left by my father." With a hint of bitterness on his face, Xiao Chen continued: "General, it's not that you don't know,

There are only a few people in Yong'an, so we rely on the five thousand black armors to protect our safety. Some people in the world have great righteousness and have surrendered to the palace. Naturally, my father can't shut them all out, can he?"

Bai Qi said in a funny tone: "There is no need to explain in such a hurry. Do you think that I, Bai Qi, will cause trouble for you, Xiao Chen? Or that His Majesty behind you will cause trouble for you?"

Xiao Chen rubbed his hands and said: "I heard that it is a serious crime to raise soldiers and horses privately, but I guarantee that these people are not from the palace."

Bai Qi said with a smile: "I know how to be a retainer."

…

After going back and forth, the two drank a lot of wine, and most of the topics were useless nonsense. This was undoubtedly an unprecedented first time for Bai Qi, who had always been solemn and solemn.

Being drunk, Bai Qi also opened up his chatterbox a little. He looked at Xiao Chen in a drunken state and said: "Seriously, the world today is in turmoil. As a prince with a heavy army, have you ever thought about what to do in the future?

?”

Xiao Chen was startled, shook his head and said to himself: "General, everyone in the world knows that I, Xiao Chen, have no ambitions. It's impossible for you not to know that for me, my biggest wish is to keep the three-acre land in Yong'an.

I'll find a few pretty ladies to play with each other every night, and no one will offend me."

With a self-deprecating smile, Xiao Chen continued: "Actually, those people who scolded me are quite right. I'm just a bastard with no ambitions. It's good to be the Lord of Chen Shou. How can I expect anything else?"

Bai Qi frowned and looked at Xiao Chen with some confusion and said: "Whenever there is chaos, it is a great opportunity to show off your ambitions. Do you really have no idea of ​​competing with this world's heroes?"

Xiao Chen glanced at Bai Qi with a chuckle and said: "To compete with the heroes of the world is what a brave man like a general does. I'm afraid I, Xiao Chen, can't even compete with me. I don't have the heart to play those intrigues.

I really don’t want to live a life where the tip of a knife licks blood.”

Bai Qi's expression changed slightly, and he quickly regained his composure and said, "It's better to be stable. It's better to be more stable."

Xiao Chen raised his wine glass and said: "General Bai, most of the world's troops and horses are in the hands of the general. If he makes a move, the Wei State will be turbulent. It is no exaggeration to say that the future destiny of the Wei State is closely related to the general. I am here

Here, I wish the general to create a new atmosphere for the country of Wei."

When Bai Qi heard this, his eyelids sank slightly: "Wei State? Do you think the current Wei State can be saved?"

Everyone knew that Bai Qi was rebellious, but when Bai Qi said these words, Xiao Chen still felt deeply shocked and hesitant.

"At least..." Xiao Chen looked at Bai Qi and said, "At least we are still in the Wei Kingdom."

His fingers kept rubbing on the wine glass, and the look on Bai Qi's face was gloomy. After a while, Bai Qi picked up the wine glass, laughed and said: "Okay, let's toast our Wei Kingdom with this glass!"

…

In the dark night, the motorcade slowly moved forward on the mountain road.

Bai Qi stood on the carriage and looked at the back of Xiao Chen leaving alone, with a look of uncertainty on his face and said: "Sometimes I seem to be able to see through our Prince Xiao at a glance, and sometimes I feel like there is something about him.

It’s covered in a layer of fog, do you think it’s because I’m overthinking it?”

In the dark night, a horse slowly appeared beside the carriage. Lu Lengyan smiled lightly and said, "What do you mean, general?"

Bai Qi murmured: "When Xiao Chen walked out of the Falling Soul Gorge in blood, and was still chatting and laughing in front of all the princes, and pretending that nothing happened, I was actually extremely shocked at the time. He was only twenty years old.

, for such a young prince, who still carries the reputation of being cynical and unambitious, even a person who has gone through ups and downs would find it difficult to sit still and let go when faced with such a thing, right?"

Turning to look at Lu Lengyan, Bai Qi said solemnly: "But Xiao Chen did it. Not only did he not attack on the spot, he didn't even hold the King of Patrol to the West accountable in the slightest. With this kind of courage, I, Bai Qi, don't think he can do it."

arrive."

Lu Lengyan lowered his head and thought for a while, then said slowly: "General, have you ever thought that maybe Xiao Chen is timid and afraid of getting into trouble?"

Bai Qi did not speak, and Lu Lengyan continued: "As we all know, Xiao Chen is the weakest among the six princes. Therefore, even if Xiao Chen takes advantage of the Falling Soul Gorge, he does not dare to really go to Xun

The King of the West raised an army to investigate. But the general is different. The general has countless soldiers and horses. Anyone who dares to offend the general is violating his majesty, which cannot be tolerated. The general and Xiao Chen are in different positions after all, so naturally we cannot generalize."

Bai Qi smiled slightly and said, "I hope everything is as you said." With that, Bai Qi turned around and prepared to return to the carriage.

However, Lu Lengyan stopped Bai Qi and said, "General, you haven't said yet what you think of Prince Xiao after you had a drink with him today?"

Bai Qi chuckled lightly, shook his head and said: "As you said, he is timid and fearful, and a playboy!"

…

Wei's convoy moved forward slowly in the dark night, and the sound of the carriages and horses rumbled in the dark night.

Inside Linghu Chu's chariot, Linghu Chu took off his python robe and put on casual clothes. In front of him, sat a thin middle-aged man. The man was about forty or fifty years old. His hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin.

, with a goatee and a single piece of clothing hanging sideways without any image, looking like a drunkard on the roadside.

There was a rosewood coffee table between the two of them, and a pot of tea was steaming warmly on the coffee table.

Linghu Chu poured a cup of tea for the man in front of him respectfully, and said with a depressed expression: "Sir, I have embarrassed myself today. The most important thing is that I can't really marry my daughter to that playboy Xiao Chen.

Ah, didn’t that harm my daughter?”

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Hearing this, the man couldn't help but raise his head and burst into laughter.

Looking at the man's reaction, Linghuchu was a little confused for a moment. He sighed and said: "Sir, I'm not kidding you. I invite you here this time just to help you think about countermeasures and see how to do it."

Save my daughter!"

"Save the princess?" The man said with a puzzled look on his face: "Your Majesty, why can't I understand you?"

Linghu Chu quickly said: "Sir, Xiao Chen is famous for not doing his job properly in Wei State. He got into countless troubles when he was in Kyoto. This time when he went to Guizhou Province, he actually brought three girls with him for his entertainment.

, you said that if my girl were to marry such a person, wouldn’t that push her into a pit of fire?”

There was a hint of meaning in the corner of the man's mouth, and he shook his head and said: "No, no, no, but my subordinates feel that the prince has found a treasure this time. I think the princess not only does not need to be rescued, but the subordinates also need to tell the prince in advance."

Congratulations!"
