Qin Wu was trembling with excitement, "We are being led by the nose!" He said, "This move is really awesome!"

It turned out that just when Qi Rusong thought that there would be a bloody storm in Lingnan City, what he didn't expect was that the Nanjing Crown Prince and his wife did not make any move to resist.

The couple even took the initiative to send their child to the King of the South, and asked Qi Tai to "strictly discipline" him in the hope that he would become a talented person.

The military power of Lingnan City was also transferred as soon as possible. This approach made the entire Lingnan City think that Qi Rubai was really a wise and competent prince.

Qi Tai burst out laughing when he heard this, and at the same time he was also sweating for Qi Rushong. The Southern Crown Prince was impeccable in his work, but Qi Rusong, who was lacking in politics, had a future full of thorns.

This is definitely not his brother's real purpose. The other party must be planning something. But he has no way to deal with him. If he deals with him at this time, he will definitely face opposition from the entire Lingnan City.

Regarding the witchcraft and "poisoning", the doctor took all the blame and admitted that he was responsible.

The reason was that his son was "unjustly accused" of being a time-travelling demon, and as revenge, he harmed Qi Tai.

This is not the truth, Qi Rushong thought. But no matter how tortured he was, the other party refused to let go.

On the second night of the interrogation, the doctor died in prison inexplicably. All clues were interrupted.

The truth has been buried, and the people behind the scenes are still at large.

"Exile him or let him join the Demon Hunting Sect, but don't give him another chance!" Qin Wu said.

"Excuse me, what is his crime?" Qi Tai said, "During the time when I was [seriously ill], Lingnan City was managed well! After that, he also handed over all power immediately."

"He did not take this evil disaster seriously and almost killed the young prince."

"He sent Feng Gaowei! The southern border has been quiet for too long. This time the demon may have exceeded many people's expectations. He didn't have much [fault] in this matter!" Qi Tai seemed to have guessed this situation. "

It would be a good thing to avoid a bloody fight."

Maybe this is politics! Qi Rusong smiled, he still lacked too much in this aspect!

"Rusong, tell me, what should we do next?" Qitai asked him.

"Use the trick, send more people, and observe their actions secretly!"

"I will arrange this matter, but we made so much noise before, I'm afraid someone will gossip!" Qin Wudao.

"Diversion of attention," Qi Rusong said, "It just so happens that the Crown Prince of the Eastern Region is in our Lingnan City! A grand banquet can make all problems forgotten."

Qi Tai smiled and said, "I'll do whatever you want!"

So Lingnan City held a grand banquet to entertain He Xiao, who came from the Eastern Territory to save his son and the entire Southern Territory Demon Hunting Sect.

On the third night of Qi Rusong's return to Lingnan City, the welcome dinner held by Xiao Jiefeng and to celebrate the recovery of the King of the South had been going on for two full hours.

The hall of the Prince's Mansion in Lingnan City was steaming with steam, filled with the aroma of barbecued meats, broth, stewed river fish, and roast duck. There were several singers in the hall strumming the strings and singing ballads.

Qi Tai, He Xiao, Qi Rubai, and Qi Rushong were sitting in the middle of the hall. They were talking and laughing, and they were having a great time.

Wang Minjun was still late. Today she wore a gem-studded tiara that set off her long black hair, which was shiny. The emeralds inlaid on it matched perfectly with her bright black eyes.

Qi Rubai helped her up the high platform and led her to sit down at the seat. She did not look at Qi Tai or herself from the beginning to the end. Moreover, even Qi Rusong, who did not understand "politics", could still tell that the princess's smile was just superficial.

Everyone has their own secrets, but on the surface they are so harmonious... I still need to learn so much, so much...

"Rusong, let's talk about this [Demon Disaster Journey]!" The Crown Prince of Nanjing said.

Qi Rusong took a bite of the cold beef tendon in front of him. "Too many people want to kill me, the monsters who broke through the seal, the time travelers, the monsters hiding in the strange forest, the humans who have lost their minds, and some villains sent here

My assassin.

But in the end, I killed them all."

Qi Tai and He Xiao both advised him not to talk about Feng Gaowei's assassination in the open. Qi Rubai was meticulous in his work and would definitely avoid all responsibilities.

"Rusong, Rusong, you are always like this. You have no brains at all!" He Xiao said. "Where could some villain come to assassinate the young prince of the southern border. It must be those time-traveling monsters or the monster clan.

"

While talking, he looked at Qi Rubai and said, "Your Majesty, do you think so?"

As soon as these words came out, Qi Rubai, who was good at fake smiles, looked a little unnatural, as if he had eaten maggots and stewed crow.

"These things should not be mentioned at the banquet." Qi Tai said, "No matter who gave the instruction, I will definitely get to the bottom of it." He sometimes bit into the beef, sometimes took a sip of broth, sometimes took a sip of wine, and his mind was obviously not on the banquet.

.

"Go down and drink!" He Xiao suggested.

Then, regardless of Qi Rusong's reaction, he directly pulled the other person up and walked towards the audience.

He Xiao completely ignored the hard journey from the Eastern Border to the Ghost Forest and then to Lingnan City. He pulled Qi Rusong and began to challenge the nobles in the halls one after another. This time it was the turn of a pimple-faced warrior.

This big man was already their third opponent. He Xiao wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and sang loudly. His voice was not bad, it was just a little rough after drinking.

Unfortunately, the musicians in the room deliberately made noisy sounds in order to match He Xiao. It was like a "beast and a girl" pairing, it was simply flowers and cow dung, and they had nothing to do with each other.

Wang Minjun obviously didn't like the noise. She covered her ears with disgust on her face. Qi Rubai undoubtedly belonged to the group who couldn't bear it. He muttered a few unintelligible words and then got up to go to the toilet.

The smoky hall was bustling with guests and servants coming in and out.

When He Xiao was enjoying himself, he picked an empty seat and sat down, "Rusong, although I hate these intrigues and fights." He lowered his voice, and then drank a large glass of wine.

"But I have to tell you that if you are born into one of the five major families, you have to withstand pressure from all aspects. How to get along with people you don't like is the most important part of your future life.

If your brother, if he were not the eldest son of the Qi family, poisoned his father and murdered his brother in order to become the king of the South, I would have wanted to pluck out his skin and twitch his tendons for such a bastard.

But if you don’t have evidence, if you touch him, you will be questioned.”

Qi Rusong blinked, "Huh?"

"Nothing can be perfect. As long as he does it, he will definitely leave clues. Be patient, find his flaws, defeat him in one fell swoop, and don't give him a chance to stand up!"

It's like fighting, killing with one blow without giving the opponent a chance to counterattack. Qi Rusong thought to himself.

I must learn to observe words and expressions, and discern the emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy hidden in people's eyes. Although his father behaved in a polite manner, there was a killing intent in his expression that he had never seen before.

He didn't say much, and always glanced at the whole hall with a low look, his eyes were very sharp. The brother sitting next door drank happily all night, and his big smiling face turned red.

He kept raising glasses and toasting, and he was very happy while talking. This person was indeed very sophisticated. If it hadn't been for what happened before, I would have thought that the other person was just a dandy who only knew how to spend the day and night.

But the Crown Princess sitting next to him was like a cold statue.

"What is that woman planning?" Qi Rusong told He Xiao, "My brother is smiling on the surface, but in fact he is already planning the next step."

He Xiao looked at Qi Rusong carefully and said, "You learn very quickly. Our Daxia Kingdom needs talents like you."

"Don't make fun of me!" He smiled bitterly.

"Go for a walk and sober up." He Xiao suggested.

With that said, he walked out of the hall, followed closely by Qi Rusong, running into the low night.

The whole palace was dark and lonely. They sat down on the stone bench outside the hall. "By the way, you said you would take me to the East last time. Does it still count?" Qi Rensong asked.

"Sure, you are always welcome."

"Then when you go back, take me with you." Qi Rusong suddenly became excited, "As long as you tell your father, he will definitely agree. I know he will."

He Xiao looked at his face again, "So anxious?"

"Yes, I haven't learned how to swallow a sword and control a spiritual sword." Qi Rushong said, "My father is in good health. I am afraid that I will become the target of my brother's attack in Lingnan City."

"It's true." The corners of Bunyan's mouth turned downward slightly. He picked up Qi Rushong's wine glass from the table, filled it with wine, and took a deep sip. "You have never been exposed to these intrigues and deceitful struggles since you were a child. It's quite embarrassing for you.

"

"So, you agreed?"

"Ha, since you said so, that's it." He Xiao said with a smile, "Do you want Su Yu to take it with you? I suggest not to take it with you. It will affect our life like a fairy."

"She'll be lonely here alone!"

"Ha, that's up to you." He looked up at Qi Rushong, "I will tell your father about this after the dinner."

"Thank you," Qi Rusong asked him suddenly. "I want to ask you something, are you married?

He Xiao felt a chill pierce his whole body, he pursed his lips and did not answer.

"Did I say something I shouldn't have said?" Qi Rusong said quickly, "I'm sorry!"

Perhaps He Xiao's beloved wife died young, which caused him pain.

"I have a wife!" He Xiao sighed. "I don't want to mention her, it makes people upset."

So that's it, Qi Rusong sighed. "You don't like her?"

"No man would like such a woman. She has to ask about everything and talks non-stop all day long. It's like she will become mute if she doesn't talk for a day."

Qi Rusong smiled, "If one day you find that the person you hate the most is no longer nagging you, that would be the most terrible thing."

He Xiao chuckled, "I hope that day comes soon."

After a while, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Realm pulled him up and said, "Let's go and have a few more drinks. The addiction to alcohol has returned.

After saying that, they turned around and returned to the banquet hall, humming a love tune.
