The night was quiet and everything was quiet. The room was silent for a moment. King Qi picked up the teacup, drank a small sip, put down the teacup, but suddenly there was a look of pain in his eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he finally said, "Chu Huan, you said... you said Father..." After a pause, hesitated and said, "Do you say Father will harm me?"

Chu Huan was stunned, and the King of Qi smiled bitterly, "Do you think your father wants me to die?"

"Prince, where do you start?" Chu Huan frowned. In fact, he had always had such doubts in his heart, but naturally he could not say to the King of Qi, "The prince is the prince of the priest. As the saying goes, "The prince is not a poisonous person, and he is not a child. Is the prince... thinking too much?"

"Actually, I don't believe it either." King Qi smiled bitterly and said, "But I thought a lot along the way. You said that with the wisdom of my father, I knew that I was definitely not the prince's opponent, and the prince would definitely harm me when he found an opportunity, but why did he leave me in the capital and in the hands of the prince when he was on the northern tour?"

Chu Huan frowned, but didn't know how to answer.

"The prince wants to kill me, but he is just worried that I will compete with him for the throne." The King of Qi leaned on the chair, looking a little weak, "Why did the father kill me? Why did he want me to die? Is he determined to pass the throne to the prince, but he is also worried that keeping me is a disaster, so he keeps me in the capital and let the prince slaughter? You say that the tiger poison does not eat the child, so why did he do this? The prince is his son, and I... is his son too!"

Chu Huan could only say: "Maybe the emperor didn't think so much. He was just worried that the prince would not be able to handle many things alone in the capital. He kept the prince, and could help the prince, and also practice political affairs. Although the prince was cruel and ruthless, the emperor might think that the prince would still think of his brotherhood and would not murder the prince...!"

The King of Qi smiled faintly and said, "Then is he betting on whether the prince is kind enough? I use my life to bet on whether the prince is a person who cares about brotherhood?"

Chu Huan became silent.

Regarding this matter, he had always suspected that there was a reason, and many signs showed that the emperor really did not take the life and death of King Qi in his heart.

As the King of Qi said, the crown prince is the emperor's son, and the king of Qi is also his son. He doesn't eat his son even if he is old and confused, he will not ignore his son's life. What's more, the King of Qi was born by the queen, and the emperor has always been very fond of the queen and has also been very fond of his son. After the King of Qi was already an adult, the emperor still kept him in the palace and did not let him leave the palace to open a mansion, but built a spectacular royal palace for the King of Qi outside the palace. All of this shows the emperor's love for this young son from the bottom of his heart.

The eldest son died early, the prince was already disabled, the third son, the King of Han was crazy and a deposed person. It seemed natural to pass his throne to his favorite young son. Moreover, many signs in the past showed that the emperor did have the will of abolishing the crown prince. Now he suddenly entrusts the prince to respect power, but puts the King of Qi in danger. This is logically unreasonable. Chu Huan doesn't know why the emperor has made such a big change. As for the purpose of leaving the King of Qi in the capital, Chu Huan only thinks that this kind of experience is too cruel.

Seeing that Chu Huan didn't speak, the King of Qi could only smile bitterly, think for a while, and finally asked: "Chu Huan, do you think I still have a chance to return to the capital?"

"Why did the prince ask like this?" Chu Huan said, "Of course you can go back to the capital." After thinking for a while, he said, "Everything is not clear. Perhaps after the emperor returns to the capital, the misunderstanding in the middle can be solved. When the emperor can, he may summon the prince back to the capital!"

"What if the father really wants to kill me?" King Qi leaned forward and held Chu Huan's arm. "If everything is really what the father meant, he really wanted to kill me with the prince's hand, then even if he returns to the capital and summons me back to the capital, wouldn't I fall into the trap?"

Chu Huan felt that the King of Qi's hands were very hard, and knew that the King of Qi was in a complicated mood. Maybe he was afraid, but more so he was sad and angry.

Chu Huan was so smart. King Qi was just a child in front of him. When King Qi asked this, he certainly knew the meaning behind King Qi's words. He thought for a while, stared at King Qi's eyes and said, "Your Majesty still remember when we were in Yunshan?"

King Qi nodded and said, "Of course, my friend is very good, but you are my only friend. Yunshan's biggest gain is to make friends like you."

"I was just a young general under Governor Qiao. If I hadn't known the prince, I might not have been able to enter Beijing in my life." Chu Huan stared at King Qi, "Prince, I will never forget this kindness in my life."

The King of Qi felt excited and warm, "Chu Huan, don't say that, we are friends, so we should help each other."

"Yes, we are friends." Chu Huan also reached out to hold the King of Qi's arm, "But today is thanks to the prince. When you come to this world, a man with a strong standing in the sky must do two things, otherwise he will die with his eyes open!"

"What?"

"If you have grudges, you must repay them, and if you have grudges, you must repay them." Chu Huan's voice was heavy, "I only hope that the day I die, in this world, there will be grudges and grudges without any regrets."

King Qi thought for a while and finally said, "You are right, only when you have to be in love with grudges can you go down steadily."

"I must repay the favor of the prince." Chu Huan said slowly: "Now I can only promise the prince that I will do everything possible to repay the prince's kindness of his understanding. If the prince needs to use Chu Huan, he will never refuse!"

The King of Qi showed excitement and even tightened Chu Huan's arm, just like a drowning man grabbed the wooden board, "Chu Huan, you... are you saying true?"

"Prince, now, you and the prince are incompatible." Chu Huan said solemnly: "So as long as Chu Huan is here, you must protect the prince's safety. I can understand the prince's mood. The prince almost killed the prince. The prince is resentful to him. Does the prince hope to be able to return to the capital one day and take revenge?"

When the King of Qi heard Chu Huan explain it clearly, he knew that Chu Huan really regarded him as a friend, otherwise he would definitely be talking about him and beat him up for a long time. If he had not regarded himself as a friend, Chu Huan would never have spoken like this.

"No," King Qi immediately said: "When I left the capital, I had already swore that one day, I would fight back to the capital and avenge my shame!"

Chu Huan nodded and said solemnly: "I can understand the prince's mood, but it is not realistic now."

The King of Qi was stunned.

"Your Majesty, you already know that Xiguan is facing great difficulties now. Xiao Huanzhang and Zhu Lingyue are both ambitions and want to dominate the Northwest and become the real Northwest King." Chu Huan said seriously: "To be loyal to the Prince, first conquer the Northwest. Whether it is Zhu Lingyue or Xiao Huanzhang, they must be eliminated. Otherwise, no matter who becomes the Northwest King, they will occupy the land and become an independent kingdom that is separated from the empire."

King Qi nodded and said, "I understand what you mean."

"We are still too weak now. If we want to avenge revenge, we need absolute strength." Chu Huan said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty knows that although the emperor has long been determined to depose the prince, why hasn't he issued an order for a long time?"

King Qi heard what Lu Haosheng said to him and whispered: "Are you concerned about the military?"

Chu Huan nodded and said, "That's right, it's because of the military. The four generals of the Empire, Lei Guheng, the General of the State of War, and Chi Liandian, the General of the Defense State of War, all had a close friendship with the prince. Regardless of whether they were from the prince or not, they firmly supported the prince as the crown prince from the beginning, and even supported the prince to inherit the throne after the saint's hundred years. Even though the saint had an opinion on the prince and had the intention to depose the prince, the saint was somewhat concerned because of Lei Guheng and Chi Liandian. Chi Liandian and Lei Guheng were both founding generals, especially Chi Liandian, who were in charge of Liaodong and Liaodong soldiers, were his confidants. Even the Goryeo people were extremely afraid of him. Now the strongest army in the empire may be the Liaodong Iron Cavalry of Chi Liandian."

The King of Qi smiled bitterly, "When the prince was born, his father was still conquering the world. When he was very young, he followed the army. He stayed in Chi Liandian and Lei Guheng's army. Before the founding of the country, he had a friendship with them." He paused and sneered, "Many people know that they have a good relationship with the prince. Of course, they have to keep the prince, and that is also for their own future."

"The four generals of the Empire, General Yu and General Feng are no longer there. The only ones left are Chi Liandian and Lei Guheng." Chu Huan said with a brow: "These two men not only have many soldiers and a wide range of generals, but also they are veterans who have been through the battlefield for a long time. With these two men to protect the prince, the emperor will certainly not easily abolish the crown prince. Moreover, the prince should also understand that the prince's strength is stronger than we think."

King Qi let go of the hand holding Chu Huan's arm and clenched his fists with both hands.

"So, if the prince wants to avenge his revenge, he must not be too hasty, and such things are not too anxious." Chu Huan said softly: "The prince's strength is like a prime minister, and we are like a child. With absolute strength, everything is in vain. So if we want to compete with the prince, we can only make ourselves stronger. The first step is to solve the current dilemma facing the northwest. If we can occupy the northwest, keep a low profile, rest and watch the changes in the city, when we have the opportunity, the prince's order, and the soldiers in the northwest come out in full swing, it may not be impossible to compete with the prince!"

Chu Huan's words made the King of Qi suddenly enlightened, and he heard Chu Huan's support for him from Chu Huan's words.

After all, King Qi was a disciple of Xu Congyang. He read a lot of books and listened to many customs and customs. He knew in his heart that when it comes to wealth, the northwest was considered a barren land, but when it comes to courage, the northwest children were extremely fierce and had extremely strong combat power. If he could really control the entire northwest, rest and train troops, he might not be able to have a brave and combative Northwest legion. With this legion, he would not be able to compete with the prince in Beijing and fight for the past.

"Chu Huan, I listen to you." The King of Qi's eyes flashed, "Let's pacify the northwest first, accumulate energy, and one day, you will enter the capital and cut off the prince's head!"

When Chu Huan heard this, he knew that the King of Qi had hated the crown prince to the core.

"Your way, you're tired, it's already late, so let's take a break soon." Chu Huan got up and smiled and said, "In two days, we will go back to Shuoquan together."

The King of Qi also got up, thought for a while, and asked, "Chu Huan, can I help me? Is Xiao Huanzhang really going to rebel? If I take action personally, will he... listen to me?"

Chu Huan shook his head and smiled, "Prince, whether it is Xiao Huanzhang or Zhu Lingyue, they no longer take the imperial court seriously. They are determined to fight for the northwest. Not to mention the prince, now they are afraid that the emperor's will will come, and they will ignore it."

The King of Qi clenched his fists and sneered: "Then let's fight, and deal with these two dog thieves first!"
