When Xiao Yi was called in, he was covered in sweat and still holding his broken gun in his hand.
"No, you have so much free time every day. Aren't you studying discipline cultivation with your third brother? Why are you always going out to practice shooting?"
Xiao Yi wiped his sweat, sat on the stool and said stupidly: "Just outside the government office, there were many people passing by, showing them some marksmanship."
"You are simply sick."
Chu Qing discovered that Xiao Yi really couldn't rest, either his brain couldn't rest or his body couldn't rest.
In fact, Xiao Yi's marksmanship has its origins. He learned it from an old soldier in the border army. This old soldier also came from a famous family, but he joined the army later when his family fell into disgrace.
Xiao Yi had said this before, and the veteran soldier who was half his master had said that marksmanship should not be lost, and there was no need to establish a sect to recruit disciples. Anyone who wanted to learn could learn it.
Even the Feng Taoists said that this set of marksmanship is good and is most suitable for use in battle formations.
But this is also where Chu Qing’s shortcomings lie.
If you show off your marksmanship to attract others to learn it, it's okay, but it's not impossible. You can go to the Eighth Camp, or if you can't go to Zhechong Mansion or Tunbingwei, or even to the academy. You're making a fool of yourself at the gate of Qianqi Camp every day, and everyone passing by is a kid.
Ordinary people, who would learn this thing, would not have enough to eat. It is no exaggeration to say that practicing martial arts may be more expensive than studying.
This is just like driving a sports car. A sports car must be driven in a suitable place, such as in front of a bar, or in front of the university... Turn left outside the university gate in front of the bar. The problem is that you can't drive on the highway in the middle of the night every day. You can go on the highway.
What are you talking about, who are you flirting with, who are you flirting with?
"Don't be embarrassed at the door from now on. I want to teach marksmanship. After I've been busy for a while, I'll go to the academy and ask if there are any young students who like to learn. If I have nothing to do, I can help my third brother with his discipline."
"After they finished helping, Brother Fu asked General Mo and General Lin about the border army, and also found a few generals from the Ministry of War. After that, nothing happened. I don't know what he meant."
"Oh, leave him alone, he will take care of it himself, so what, I want to ask you something."
Chu Qing stood up, rubbed his waist and sat on the desk: "What has your father been busy with recently?"
"My father?" Xiao Yi didn't react for a moment: "Who am I... Oh, sir, you are talking about the great rebel king."
Chu Qing had a black line on his head: "Yes, that's King Wu."
"I don't know, General Mo. I have looked for him several times in the past few days, but he has avoided seeing me. I don't know what he is doing all day long."
Chu Qing hesitated for a moment and said: "Ayi, I have a merciless request. This request will probably put you in a difficult position. You may refuse, and I don't know whether I should ask or not."
"Embarrassed?" Who is Xiao Yi? He is absolutely upright. He smiled slightly and said, "Then don't talk about it, sir."
Chu Qing: "..."
Xiao Yi's deeds are upright, real, quite real, and straight, straighter than a laser.
Looking at Chu Qing's face, Xiao Yi asked tentatively: "So, general, are you going out to play with guns?"
"You're just kidding me, just listen to what I have to say."
Xiao Yi said pitifully: "Sir, I really don't want to go to the palace."
Chu Qing's face was full of astonishment: "How did you know that I asked you to go to Prince Wu's Mansion?"
"The general is not Tao Da... and he is not a fool. When you look for the general, first ask about the current situation of the rebel king, and then say that it will be difficult for the general. The most difficult thing for the general in this life is the rebel king. How could it be possible?
Can’t guess.”
Chu Qing couldn't laugh or cry: "Then tell me why I want you to go to Prince Wu's Mansion."
"What else can I do? Find out if King Wu is planning something secretly."
Having said this, Xiao Yi scratched his forehead: "Actually, the general is also surprised that this rebel king has been in the capital for half a year and has not returned to his fief..."
"Can the Emperor allow him to go back? He would like to."
"No, if he wants to leave and leave the capital, the emperor cannot stop him."
"Really or not, even the emperor can't stop him?"
"It's not that we can't stop it, it's just..." Xiao Yi glanced at the door and lowered his voice: "Sir, I will know something about the Tian family."
Chu Qing couldn't help but wonder: "What's going on?"
"Years ago, didn't the rebel king and his general meet with the Supreme Emperor? The Supreme Emperor said that as long as he didn't reveal his rebellion, he could leave the capital if he wanted to. But if he returned to the fiefdom with evil intentions, the Supreme Emperor would personally lead his troops to kill him.
.”
Chu Qing suddenly realized that it seemed that it was the rule set by the Supreme Emperor. As long as he did not rebel, and before he seriously rebelled, the fourth brother could not kill other brothers, or even be placed under house arrest.
As Xiao Yi said, the emperor really couldn't stop him.
"Sir, this is why I feel strange. He can obviously leave, but he doesn't leave the capital. He stays in the capital all the time. I'm afraid..."
Chu Qing was just suspicious at first, but now that Xiao Yi said this, he couldn't help but become alert, but he didn't show it. After all, he was his own son, and it would be wrong to talk too deeply, so he changed the topic.
"By the way, I'm asking something you shouldn't ask. Why do you hate your father so much?"
"He doesn't like the last general either."
"Really?" Chu Qing said happily: "I don't know, I feel quite used to you. Didn't I take you into the palace to show off to the Supreme Emperor before? You were also said to be treated poorly by the court because of your achievements.
"
"It's just a show, just to increase his reputation as King of Wu."
Seeing that Chu Qing didn't believe it, Xiao Yi continued angrily: "He didn't like me when he was young. When he saw that I didn't like studying, he always scolded me. He also said that he and my mother were true love, but I was a
Accident."
Chu Qing: "..."
As soon as Wu Wang Chang Chengke was mentioned, Xiao Yi was full of complaints: "That's all. If you say that he wants to rebel, he is a man, so he should rebel quickly. As a result, after so many years, everyone in the world knows that he wants to rebel, but he
Even if he doesn't rebel, he will be very worried. Sometimes he thinks, if you rebel, he will be reborn sooner rather than later. Why bother? When today is young and powerful, and he is a wise king, how can he let his gains go to waste?"
"What does it mean to gain a fortune for nothing?"
"What the traitor means, he said it himself. The Chang Dynasty is already full of problems. With the power of the emperor, he will definitely not be able to maintain order for long. When the world is in chaos and the country is unstable, he will naturally take over the Chang Dynasty."
Chu Qing couldn't laugh or cry: "It means seizing the throne without violence."
"That's what it means. When the general was young, he was still the king of the county. At that time, the emperor had not even ascended the throne. He already wanted to be the emperor. After thinking about it for so many years, just waiting, the general looked anxious."
Chu Qing was finally convinced. Why did this sound wrong? Why are you so anxious? You are so anxious to be the prince.
Xiao Yi sighed. There were some words that he didn't know how to say, let alone say them to Chu Qing.
In fact, before Xiao Yi joined the army, Chang Chengke wanted to be the emperor when he was very young, even before the emperor ascended the throne. That sentence is true. Born in a heavenly family, no matter whether he is a county prince or a heir apparent, no one wants to be the emperor.
Emperor, Chang Chengke also thought.
Although Xiao Yi was young at that time, he knew that Chang Chengke was not the prince, so he went to the frontier army for many reasons. Later, when the emperor ascended the throne, Chang Chengke failed in the political struggle and returned to his fiefdom. Xiao Yi became even more desperate.
He always wanted to make more contributions, so that when Chang Chengke was defeated, he could use some military merit to protect his family, even if Chang Chengke was demoted to a commoner.
Fu San walked in and shook his head: "Master, Zhao Baodan shamelessly looks for apprentices every day. He Jizhen sleeps all day long. The two of them rarely leave the government office and never leave the eyes of the brothers.
The matter of the general temple should have nothing to do with them."
"Where's King Wu? Have you asked?"
"I asked. Although King Wu always leaves the mansion, he has never seen any outsiders or courtiers. Most of the servants in the mansion are arranged by the palace. There is a housekeeper from Weijiang who rarely leaves the mansion.
No letters have been sent."
"That's weird. It can't really be a spontaneous act by those four hundred people, right?"
Rubbing his brows, Chu Qing ordered: "Let Ertong go to Jingzhao Mansion and ask the first criminals captured by Lao Ma who they are, where they come from, where they are from, and whether they are people from the capital."
As soon as Chu Qing finished speaking, a detective ran in: "Sir, Princess Qingyang wants to see you."
"Princess Qingyang?"
"Yes, he said he wanted to see General Xiao Yi."
Xiao Yi's expression changed slightly: "Third sister, are you looking for me?"
