Chapter 38 When he can overthrow King Pengcheng, he must have full wings
Huo Qubing's mouth twitched.
It has to be you, my lord.
Watching Xie Yuan put on the clothes of the accompanying bodyguard and leave, Huo Qubing's eyelids twitched.
He pressed his eyelids and frowned.
Lord...
…
It rained slightly during the Qingming Festival, but this did not hinder the good mood of the two princes going out hunting.
They were in high spirits and hunted dozens of prey in one day, including even a sika deer.
At night, King Pengcheng and King Langya sat in the tent, drinking wine, eating meat and admiring the moon.
"I have gained a lot today. Come on, my dear brother, I will give you a drink." King Pengcheng smiled and raised his glass towards King Langya.
"It's not just today that I have gained a lot." King Langya toasted in return with a smile.
"No, come on, come on, we won't get home until we get drunk tonight."
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."
Late at night, the two princes seemed to be drunk, and they talked freely and wildly——
"Your Majesty has made great achievements, but you don't know that I have also made great achievements."
"Brother, why did you say this?"
"I did one thing more than ten years ago, and now I have done another one. Your Majesty is grateful to me from the bottom of his heart."
"Your Majesty, that's the brother I'm waiting for too."
"That's right. Now that the treasures stolen by the Cui family are divided between you and me, I don't know if those guys have found out about me."
"Having said that, when the emperor went back to clean up the scene, why did he leave behind the dagger made by the subordinates in Pengcheng County?"
"Let those brats from the Cui family find out and file a complaint with His Majesty."
"ah?"
"With just a short sword, they wanted to accuse me of assassinating Taigong Cui. I could use this to bite them back and accuse them of making weapons to frame me - after all, which noble family has never made weapons."
"Is it possible that the emperor's intention is to split the Cui family and divide the Cui family's property?"
"The only person who knows me is the emperor's brother! I have done this once, and now I am very good at it. When my great cause is about to be completed, I will definitely benefit from the emperor's brother in the future."
"Then I will look forward to hearing the good news from my royal brother!"
"Hahahaha! Okay!"
…
The two people in the room laughed for a while and then fell asleep, unaware that their conversation was clearly heard by the young man standing guard outside.
Xie Yuan pursed his lips.
Judging from the conversation between the two, it seems that King Pengcheng was the culprit behind the assassination of Taigong Cui.
In order to divide the family property, he even wanted to use the weapon to bite the Cui family and break them into pieces.
It's really a good calculation.
But what does it mean to do something more than ten years ago?
Xie Yuan was puzzled.
That’s it, let’s talk about it when we get back.
When the shift was over, Xie Yuan left the camp, went straight outside the hunting ground, and whistled somewhere.
Soon there was a whistle.
Huo Qubing ran out of the darkness and walked straight towards Xie Yuan.
"Where are the guards?" Xie Yuan took the cloak and put it on.
"He was placed in the inn, and when he woke up he was knocked unconscious by my palm."
"Go wake him up."
After the two returned, they changed the guard's clothes, fed him some medicine, and sent him back to the hunting ground.
When the guy woke up, he thought he had fallen ill, but when he smelled the medicine, he felt something was wrong and couldn't tell what was wrong.
Afraid of being blamed by King Pengcheng, he hurriedly went to bed at night.
…
When Huo Qubing brought hot soup to Xie Yuan, he saw that he was talking with one hand and the chess pieces in both hands did not necessarily fall down.
"My lord, is there something on your mind?" After pouring the hot soup into the barrel, Huo Qubing raised his eyebrows and looked at Xie Yuan.
"It's not really worrying, I'm just thinking about what I heard today." Xie Yuan shook his head and sighed slowly.
"What did my lord hear? Is King Pengcheng the culprit who murdered Grand Duke Cui?" Huo Qubing looked curious.
"It's him. He wants to split the Qinghe Cui family and seize the family property. Besides... King Pengcheng was drunk today and told King Langya that he had done something more than ten years ago. I can't remember what happened back then."
"Of course, my lord, I can't remember it. You and I were just chattering at that time." Huo Qubing smiled, but secretly he couldn't help but feel frightened.
King Pengcheng is crazy. He actually wants to split up a century-old noble clan and annex the family property. This greed has no bottom line. It is really outrageous.
Xie Yuanmo.
He came back with memories, so he still remembers things from his childhood quite clearly.
What King Pengcheng did more than ten years ago...why do I always feel that it has something to do with me?
That's all, what needs to be known will eventually be known, there is no need to rush.
Let’s go find Cui Jia Sanlang tomorrow.
He dropped his hand, rubbed his temples, picked up a pen and wrote a letter and gave it to Huo Qubing: "Send it to the teahouse where we first came to Langya and tell him to hand it over to Cui Jiasanlang."
"Here."
Early the next morning, a flying pigeon fell from Xie Yuan's window, with a note tied to its leg——
"At the end of the Si Shi period, the tea house was named Yajian."
Xie Yuan burned the note unhurriedly and let the pigeons fly. Calculating that it was almost time, he took Huo Qubing to the teahouse.
Cui Heng has been waiting for a while in the elegant room of Tianzihao.
Huo Qubing moved the screen again.
"It has only been one day, and Xie Xiaolangjun has already heard the news?" Cui Heng shook his feather fan and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"King Pengcheng wanted to split the Cui family and seize his family property, so he killed Cui Gong."
In addition, Xie Yuan also wanted to talk about the dagger.
Cui Heng paused in waving his fan, then looked at Xie Yuan. When he saw that he was looking at her steadily, he knew that he had not lied.
It's exactly the same as what the young man from the Xie family guessed.
"King Pengcheng has gained a lot of favor in recent years and is extremely powerful. It is not easy to deal with him." Cui Heng slowly smiled and said seriously.
"Cui Sanlang, please don't make any noise about it. I always feel that King Pengcheng is going to make a big move. If I scare the snake at this time, he will definitely be alerted and find a reason to hold him accountable."
"What do you think of Mr. Xie's family?"
"I will find a way to place an informant around King Pengcheng. If there is any trouble, I will be notified as soon as possible. If Cui Sanlang also wants to know, I can order someone to repair the book and send it to Qinghe." Xie Yuan stroked the tea cup.
"Xie Xiaolangjun wants to overthrow King Pengcheng?"
"Don't Cui Sanlang also want to overthrow King Pengcheng?"
"Aren't you afraid of the revenge of the Sima clan's children?"
"When I can overthrow King Pengcheng, I will have full wings." Xie Yuan smiled slightly.
At that time, he must have had the power to challenge the nobles and even the government and the royal family. Those who wanted to move him had to weigh the pros and cons.
Cui Heng smiled.
The young man from the Xie family is indeed what his uncle said, he is a sharp-edged and restrained master.
That's fine, let's take this opportunity to test him and see how smart he can be.
If he is a foolish person, then he will take Huanzhi back to Qinghe.
"Then I'll wait for the good news from the Xie family." Cui Heng bowed, "If you need any help, just repair the book and send it to Qinghe, and I will help you."
"good."
Thinking of something, Xie Yuan asked again: "More than ten years ago, did King Pengcheng do anything significant?"
