"Since the prince doesn't treat me as an outsider, Zhongtian has a few words today that I would like to ask boldly," Chi Zhongtian said.

The king nodded and said, "Okay, feel free to ask."

"My lord, why are you doing this?" Chi Zhongtian suddenly asked.

Hearing this nonsense, the king was stunned for a moment, and then asked with some confusion: "Zhongtian, what do you mean by this? Why?"

"My lord, why are you deliberately planning to kill Prince Qing?" Chi Zhongtian said calmly.

"ah!"

When the king heard Chi Zhongtian's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed.

"Actually, I've long felt that something was wrong. When we came out of Lijiang City, you ordered the troops to divide into two groups, but you didn't let Prince Qing and the others go too fast. This doesn't seem to make sense. After arriving at Chongqing Mansion, you said

You are sick, but I found that you must have eaten something that caused you to be like this."

After Chi Zhongtian finished speaking, he looked at the king quietly, wanting to see what he would say.

The king had already stood up from the chair at this time, and his gray beard seemed to be trembling.

"Zhongtian, are you too tired? Why are you always talking nonsense?" the king said.

"Your Majesty, you know better than me whether I'm talking nonsense or not," Chi Zhongtian replied with a smile.

Without waiting for the king to answer, Chi Zhongtian continued: "Your Majesty, ever since I learned that you were sick, I had a vague premonition, so I sent someone overnight to notify him and asked him to take Prince Qing back to the capital along the path.

, and then someone pretended to be King Qing and sat in the carriage. Sure enough, I soon learned the news that King Qing had been killed. You suddenly fell ill, which made it impossible for me to get back together with King Qing as soon as possible, which gave others the opportunity to take action.

, Your Majesty, could it be said that you don’t know these?”

"Zhongtian, you misunderstood." The king slowly regained his composure and said.

"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter whether I misunderstood or not. The route Prince Qing traveled is top secret. No one knows except you and me. Even the guide walked a certain distance. I sent someone to inform you.

Tell me, how did the assassin know where Prince Qing was?"

"Moreover, I just made an observation in the court. When Your Majesty saw that Prince Qing was not dead, the expression in your eyes was not surprise, but disbelief."

"Zhongtian!"

Just when Chi Zhongtian was about to finish his sentence, the king interrupted him impatiently.

"Stop talking nonsense." The king continued.

"My lord, you don't have to hide anything from me. Let me tell you one more thing. The assassins you sent are now in my hands." Chi Zhongtian said with a smile.

"What!"

"Your Majesty, there is no need to panic. I have set up a trap a long time ago. Their actions that night were a trap. After they left, the sergeants of Shenwu Longyang Guard followed them. They didn't know where they were, so they

Got them all."

After Chi Zhongtian finished speaking, the king's expression immediately changed.

"Your Majesty, do you want me to bring someone here?" Chi Zhongtian asked.

"you!"

"Zhongtian, don't meddle in other people's business!"

After a long time, the king squeezed out this sentence through his teeth.

"Your Majesty, the assassins you sent have fallen into the hands of the emperor." Chi Zhongtian said.

"What!"

The king was shocked and said quickly: "You did it!"

"Your Majesty, at first I was not convinced that it was your subordinate. I just followed common sense and handed over the person who intended to murder Prince Qing to the Emperor."

"You! You! You!"

The king showed that he was very angry. He said "you" three times in a row. It seemed that he was really angry.

"Your Majesty, I have always respected you, but I didn't expect that you would act like this. Do you know how much we paid to rescue Prince Qing? Not to mention ten cities, Master Zhang Yunzhi lost his life, Shenwu Longyang

There are so many fewer sergeants in the guard. My lord, think about it, are you willing to let these people die in peace?"

As soon as Chi Zhongtian mentioned these people, the mouth that the king had just opened closed again.

"Your Majesty, Zhongtian does not participate in the affairs of the court, let alone any partisan disputes. I am just a general leading troops, begging your Majesty, don't let our heroes die in vain."

After finishing speaking, Chi Zhongtian knelt on the ground and kowtowed, then turned and left.

After Chi Zhongtian left, the king slumped on the ground helplessly.

In fact, what Chi Zhongtian said was absolutely correct. Those assassins were indeed sent by the king.

From the time he went there, the king always arranged for people to follow him. Several times, he would sneak out quietly to meet with the people he arranged. His habit was to wear a black cloak so that others would not see his face.

The illness that time was indeed just as Chi Zhongtian said, he was faking it.

It's just that Chi Zhongtian is so shrewd, even if the king pretended, Chi Zhongtian still discovered some clues.

In fact, he already knew that the assassins he captured were undoubtedly sent by the King.

In order not to break his face, and to be able to move back and forth in the future, Chi Zhongtian didn't say it so harshly, so he just stopped there.

That night, after the emperor had dinner, he summoned Prince Qing in his palace.

King Qing's biological mother, Concubine Jin, has fallen out of favor, so when he learned that King Qing was captured by thieves, he was worried every day and couldn't sleep at night. Now that he heard that King Qing was back, he was not over happy, and he found out immediately.

His son was deprived of his royal title and took back the royal palace.

"My son, please see your father!"

King Qing knelt on the ground and said respectfully.

The emperor was half-lying on the bed reading a book. After hearing the sound, he put the book on the bed and said, "Ten cities cost you one life. Your life is really valuable." The emperor said.

"Father! I know my crime, I know my crime!" King Qing already knew about the emperor's throne and was very angry, so he didn't dare to talk back.

"What did you do every day when you were in Lijiang City?" the emperor suddenly asked.

"When I return to my father, I will inspect the military camp every day and send people to patrol the city to make complete preparations to fight against the thieves."

"Oh, you didn't go out to play?" the emperor asked next.

"As for my father, I don't have the heart to play." King Qing replied shamelessly.

"Oh... Then I want to ask you, how did you fight?" the emperor then asked.

At this time, King Qing didn't know how to answer.
