According to the itinerary, after the princes of the Wei State arrive at Yangnan City, they will rest in Yangnan for two days. Finally, the Yangnan Prefect will send troops to escort them to the Kyoto of Qian State.

Back at the post house, Xiao Chen was about to take a rest when Wu Liang hurriedly called Bing Bing outside the door: "Your Majesty, someone wants to see you."

Looking at Wu Liang's mysterious appearance, Xiao Chen waved his hands impatiently and said: "No, no one." He hadn't figured out how to deal with the matter in the Prefect's Mansion, so his mood was naturally not much better. It was either treason or treason.

When it comes to fighting, it's a headache to choose.

Wu Liang quietly revealed a corner of brocade silk engraved with a golden dragon from his sleeve. Seeing this scene, Xiao Chen quickly pulled Wu Liang into the back room and carefully closed the door. Xiao Chen then said: "Is it your Majesty?"

Wu Liang nodded, took out the imperial edict from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Chen. Wu Liang said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty was imprisoned by Bai Qi. Although I don't know how your Majesty conveyed this edict, but in the future

Your Majesty's current situation, this imperial decree, the prince does not need to pay attention to. What's more, none of us can say whether this imperial decree is true or false. If it is Bai Qi's treacherous plan, it will be bad."

Xiao Chen looked at Wu Liang and said: "So what you mean is..."

Shaking his head slightly, Wu Liang said coldly: "Whether this imperial edict is true or false, we can just pretend we didn't see it. Your Majesty is a scourge now. Anyone who dares to approach him will be harmed."

Opening the imperial edict, the general meaning of what was written on it was that he hoped Xiao Chen could find a way to meet Cao Xun in private. Xiao Chen lowered his head and looked thoughtful, his expression slightly solemn.

Gently throwing the imperial edict into the brazier, Xiao Chen said in a solemn voice: "Not only am I going to do this, but I also have to do it in an honest and fair manner."

Wu Liang looked at Xiao Chen in surprise and said, "My lord, are you saying that you want to see Cao Xun openly? Will Bai Qi agree?"

Xiao Chen smiled slightly and said, "He will agree!"

…

Xiao Chen only took Zhang Gu with him when he went to Bai Qi Inn. The reason why he took this old man with him who had no idea how high his martial arts attainment was was to protect his own safety. Secondly, he brought Zhang Gu at the request of the old man.

He went to see the gastrooper named Lu Lengyan. From the beginning to the end, whenever he mentioned the three words "gasmologist", the old man's words were full of praise and dignity. Xiao Chen had met Lu Lenyan once, although

It was a quick glance, but as he was not skilled in martial arts, he naturally could not understand the mystery of Lu Lengyan. However, Xiao Chen's graceful appearance was still fresh in Xiao Chen's memory. Regardless of whether Lu Lengyan was strong or not, at least she was a real beauty.

Hearing that it was Xiao Chen who was coming, the guards took Xiao Chen directly to the courtyard where Bai Qi was.

In a small courtyard of several hundred square meters, Bai Qi was holding a pen and writing and drawing on the stone table in the courtyard. Next to Bai Qi, the simple woman in Taoist robes stood so quietly beside Bai Qi.

Today, Bai Qi was wearing casual clothes and holding a writing brush. He actually had a rare elegant temperament. Lu Lengyan was still wearing the same Taoist robe, and his hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin. The moment he saw Lu Lengyan, Zhang Gu's eyes were deeply moved.

He was deeply attracted, and there was a deep solemnity in his cloudy eyes.

Keenly aware of the abnormality on Zhang Gu's body, Xiao Chen's eyes wrinkled slightly. Being able to make Zhang Gu show such an expression was enough to show that Lu Lengyan was much scarier than he thought.

Slowly putting down his pen and looking at Xiao Chen who was waiting in the courtyard, Bai Qi laughed and said: "I always like to write and write in my spare time, but unexpectedly I neglected Prince Xiao because of this. Prince Xiao, please don't be offended."

Xiao Chen smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "General, you're welcome. Who in the world dares to be angry with the general?"

With a calm smile, Bai Qi came to Xiao Chen, warmly pulled Xiao Chen to the stone table and said, "Come, let's see how I write this."

"I am invincible..." Looking at the four big characters on the stone table, Xiao Chen frowned slightly, and then laughed and said: "It's not that you don't know, general, what I hate most is reading and writing. I'm sure this word

I can’t comment, but I just don’t understand it and I feel domineering and treacherous.”

If there was a meaningful smile, Bai Qi did not worry too much about the words, and suddenly changed the topic: "I heard that Sun Wei, the prefect of Yangnan, specially invited the prince to sit alone after the reception banquet?"

Xiao Chen nodded and said: "Exactly!"

Waving gently, Lu Lengyan nodded knowingly, and exited the courtyard with Zhang Gu. Not long after, a guard hurried into the courtyard, removed the paintings and calligraphy in the garden, and replaced them with a pot of tea.

After signaling Xiao Chen to sit down, Bai Qi gently poured a cup of steaming tea for Xiao Chen and said, "What did you say?"

Xiao Chen slowly picked up the teacup and said calmly: "The Guizhou Kingdom wants me to treason."

"Thing!" Xiao Chen's words sounded like thunder in Bai Qi's heart. Looking at Xiao Chen's plain face, Bai Qi asked in disbelief: "What did you say?"

Xiao Chen put down the tea cup and said in a solemn voice: "I said that the State of Guizhou wants to conquer the State of Wei, and Sun Wei stayed with me this time just to make me promise him to open the gate of Yong'an when the Wei State was in chaos and let him go to the State of Guizhou.

The soldiers entered Wei."

Bai Qi is indeed a famous general in the Wei Kingdom. After hearing Xiao Chen's words, Bai Qi suddenly understood and said:

"You are saying that the State of Guizhou stirs up disputes among various countries in the name of recruiting relatives. After this marriage, whichever remaining country is the weakest, she will unite with the third force to completely eliminate it. Fortunately, the

If you raise a wolf, you always have to eat meat."

Slightly startled, Bai Qi looked at Xiao Chen and said, "Why are you telling me this? You have every reason not to."

Xiao Chen spread his hands and said: "The general should understand why the State of Guizhou focuses on the Wei State. Everyone knows that the general and Wei Emperor Cao Xun have long been incompatible, but no matter how incompetent Cao Xun is, there will always be some death.

The stubborn old thing will block the general's path. By then, there will definitely be an internal fight in Wei."

"When you both lose, Guizhou only needs one elite soldier to push thousands of miles across the territory of Wei. The only difficulty may be how to enter Wei, whether to attack Yong'an or win over me, Xiao Chen. In fact, for Guizhou

As far as the country is concerned, when the day comes, he won't care at all."

"Cooperating with them is like seeking skin from a tiger. In this case, I might as well tell the general about this news. The general is prepared and may be able to change the mind of Guizhou before that day comes."

Looking at Xiao Chen who was being frank, Bai Qi smiled slightly, lightly punched Xiao Chen's shoulder with his fist and said, "You will be glad for today's decision!"

Xiao Chen said lightly: "I hope!"

Suddenly, Xiao Chen looked at Bai Qi and said: "I want to see Cao Xun."

Hearing Cao Xun's name, Bai Qi's face suddenly became a little ugly. This nominal emperor of the Wei Kingdom, he really wished he had been locked in a cage and never seen the light of day. Xiao Chen suddenly wanted to see him.

Cao Xun, on the other hand, surprised Bai Qi.

"Why do you want to see him?" Bai Qi looked at Xiao Chen and asked word by word.

Xiao Chen smiled and said: "The situation in the Wei Kingdom is getting dark. I think I should let him know about these things."

"Is it because of this?" Bai Qi said with an undisguised sarcasm on his face: "Then Cao Xun is a piece of mud who can't hold up the wall. If I, Bai Qi, hadn't supported this world for him these years,

, Wei State has long been over."

"Why should I rebel? Look at the Guizhou, Xia, and Wu countries on the border. Which country is not looking at our Wei State with eager eyes. With his little knowledge and courage, the Wei State will be destroyed in his hands sooner or later. Instead of

In this case, it is better for me to help him look after Wei."

But looking at Xiao Chen with a determined look in front of him, Bai Qi hesitated again the moment he met Xiao Chen's gaze.

It's just a bird in a cage, so what if Xiao Chen meets him? There is no need to offend King Yong'an who just chose to side with him over this trivial matter.

Taking a deep breath, Bai Qi said in a concentrated voice: "I'll ask Leng Yan to take you to see him later."

Seeing Bai Qi finally compromise, Xiao Chen chuckled and cupped his hands and said, "If so, then thank you General!"

…

Xiao Chen never imagined that time could cause such a big change to a person.

Seeing Cao Xun again, Xiao Chen was shocked in his heart. Although the Cao Xun in front of him was wearing a dragon robe and an imperial crown, his messy hair and haggard appearance looked like a drunkard who had been drunk in Manjiang.

The high-spirited Cao Xun has long since been smoothed away by time.

Xiao Chen stood outside the courtyard and tentatively shouted: "Your Majesty!"

Hearing this voice, Cao Xun's first reaction was to take a step back suddenly. When he saw it was Xiao Chen, Cao Xun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Xiao Aiqing, why are you here?"

I don't know whether Cao Xun was pretending to be stupid or really stupid. He glanced at Lu Lengyan who was standing by and said in a solemn voice: "Can I see your Majesty alone?"

Lu Lengyan stared at Xiao Chen in front of him with bright eyes. After a moment, he smiled meaningfully and said: "Of course."

After saying that, Lu Lengyan actually turned around and left. Faced with Lu Lengyan's actions, Xiao Chen was puzzled, but just in case, he still winked at Zhang Gu. Zhang Gu, who understood, quickly stepped back, presumably to help Xiao.

Chen went to monitor the surrounding environment.

"Xiao Chen! All my hopes are in your hands." The moment Lu Lengyan retreated, Cao Xun suddenly took out a piece of stuff from his arms and pushed it towards Xiao Chen. When Xiao Chen saw the thing clearly

When he looked like that, the whole person couldn't help being shocked.

"Military Talisman?!" Xiao Chen, who had reacted quickly, declined and said, "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, princes do not control armies. In addition, I, Xiao Chen, have no ability at all. I can never accept this military talisman."

Unexpectedly, Cao Xun resolutely stuffed the military talisman into Xiao Chen's chest and said in a concentrated voice: "Bai Qi finally imprisoned me, so he will not let me go easily. Even though most of the soldiers and horses in the world are in his hands,
