Chapter 42: Xinghua’s Thoughts

The boy who spoke was none other than Xie Chen, the adopted son of Xie Chong.

Feng Qiao saw him laughing and said, but she was a little shy.

Before approaching, she gestured with her fist and shouted: "You bastard!"

Xie Chen is blind, but he can sense the wind through his fists. He was not afraid, and still smiled and said: "Do you want me to divine for Senior Sister?"

Zhou Tianxing stepped forward and said with a smile: "Don't you only speculate on military affairs?"

"If General Feng agrees, I can also try to divine for her." Xie Chen said with a smile.

Because he was indeed very accurate in divination, Feng Qiao did not dare to let him divination in public, for fear that he would tell her own thoughts, so she quickly changed the subject and said: "The army is heading east, do you think we can succeed this time?" "

After listening to her words, Xie Chen's expression returned to normal.

"King Xiao Nanchen will go in person. If there is any accident, it will be the responsibility of the soldiers." He said slowly.

After hearing this, everyone immediately became vigilant and looked at King Xiao Nanchen in unison.

Zhou Shengchen nodded, and then said: "Don't worry, everyone, we will still win a great victory this time!"

Everyone said it together, and their mood was even more high.

A scout hurriedly arrived on horseback. He dismounted and approached and saluted: "Your Highness, Grand Master Fu has entered Zhongzhou City; there is another secret message to report."

After that, he no longer spoke in public, but reached into his arms and took out a secret letter.

Zhou Shengchen took it, opened the letter and read it. It was from Prince Liu Zixing.

The letter stipulated a time that was as detailed as the hour and scale. Liu Zixing was determined to kill Zhao Teng independently to show his martial arts and prestige.

Putting away the letter, Zhou Shengchen looked into the distance indifferently.

"Your Highness, what did he say?" Military Advisor Xie Chong approached and asked.

"He is always unwilling to be humiliated. But I am a little worried about his small body. I don't know how he will succeed." Zhou Shengchen said slowly.

"Actually, it's not necessary." Xie Chong said nonchalantly, "Even if he has made some achievements, he still has to follow His Highness's instructions."

Nodding, Zhou Shengchen said no more, but looked at Xie Chong and smiled.

Seeing him with fury, Xie Chong said hesitantly: "Your Highness, this is,"

"I have been in the army for many years, and I am still only in my twenties. However, the soldiers call the military advisor and me together the 'old guy'." Zhou Shengchen said with a smile.

Xie Chong also laughed when he heard it: "That is a joke that the soldiers love His Highness. Your Highness also said that the veteran is Xiao He, so there is naturally a difference."

"They are really Liu Bang and Xiao He, and they are indeed similar in age." Zhou Shengchen said with a smile, "Okay, please forgive me, the military advisor."

Xie Chong was still in a daze when he saw Zhou Shengchen wave his hand. Feng Qiao, Zhou Tianxing and others suppressed their laughter and immediately approached holding two sets of ordinary soldiers' armor.

"Your Highness and the military advisor, please change your clothes!" they said together.

Therefore, in this army that quickly advanced into Zhongzhou, King Xiao Nanchen and the military advisor disappeared, and two soldiers with guns were added.

Arriving outside Zhongzhou City, the general guarding the gate immediately approached and asked: "Where did you come from?!"

"Bastard! You can't even see the royal army of King Xiao Nanchen?!" Feng Qiao cursed, holding up a scroll in her hand, "I have been ordered to escort Prince Nan Xiao to Beijing! If it is delayed, you can wait for me Are you up?"

How can a guard general dare to take care of him? He will have to drink with his wife and children when he is back on duty.

He hurriedly saluted and replied: "I don't know that the general has the emperor's order, so please invite the army to enter the city!"

After saying that, he quickly waved to the city gate and shouted loudly: "The king's army is escorting important prisoners into the city, get out of the way!"

Afterwards, the guard stood aside and watched the team enter the city.

There was indeed a prison car in the row, and a man with a stern expression was sitting in it indifferently. When the guard saw his sharp eyes, he couldn't help but shuddered: It's really important! We need so many people to escort us!

Military strategist Xie Chong and Xiao Nanchen Wang Zhou Shengchen followed the formation with guns and entered the city together.

When they arrived at the designated garrison location, they surrounded the prison car and guarded it nearby, waiting for someone from the court to hand over.

It was already late, and everyone was just waiting silently, waiting for the best moment to arrive.

News of the king's army entering the city came, and of course the general Liu Yuan and the imperial minister Zhao Teng were notified.

But the two of them only trusted Zhou Shengchen to respect his promise, especially because of Xiao Yan's important status. Furthermore, Prince Liu Zixing and Emperor Liu Hui were covering up this matter, and Liu Yuan, Zhao Teng and other civil and military ministers had no doubts about this.

It was too late to escort the prisoners, and everyone was looking forward to debating right and wrong with the Prince of Nan Xiao at the court meeting tomorrow morning.

That night, Liu Zixing sat in the East Palace Bedroom, holding the wine glass in his hand in a daze.

"His Royal Highness, are you still thinking about that girl?"

A soft voice came, and Liu Zixing came back to his senses.

The visitor's name is Xinghua, and she is the niece of Queen Mother Qi Zhenzhen. She was called into the palace to be raised, which was just a human bargaining chip prepared by Qi Zhenzhen.

But this girl has both beautiful appearance and shrewd mind. She saw that Liu Zixing was handsome and suave, so she fell in love with him.

Things in the world are so confusing. It is said that Xinghua and Liu Zixing are a good match, but they cannot satisfy Liu Zixing.

Maybe the less you get, the more you crave. To this day, he is still thinking about the girl from Shiyiyao whom he has never met, but everyone knows that she is of outstanding appearance.

Seeing Xinghua approaching, Liu Zixing asked her to sit across from her, and then said, "My little sister is not resting in the harem, why are you here?"

Xinghua also knew that he was in love with Nao Shiyi, so he could only say in a helpless tone: "The prince is in a daze right now, and he must be thinking of Miss Nao again."

Smiling, Liu Zixing said slowly: "Although Taifu said that there will no longer be that engagement, it has not been officially terminated after all. Therefore, even if I miss Miss Nao, there is nothing wrong with it."

Xinghua was naturally jealous, but he laughed at his infatuation first: "The prince's words don't make sense. In this world, who can't do it?"

She said it cleverly, meaning that everyone's thoughts cannot be forbidden, but she also secretly expressed her thoughts about him.

It's not that Liu Zixing doesn't like her, but if he can marry Yang Shiyi, he will not only have a wife with both talent and beauty - a princess - a queen, but he can also use the power of the Yang family to make the nobles in the court fall in love with him.

Xinghua is very simple, she is just the niece of the Queen Mother, not her legitimate daughter. If Liu Zixing becomes the emperor himself in the future, he will no longer need to rely on the power of Queen Mother Qi Zhenzhen. Moreover, Qi Zhenzhen is currently under house arrest by her biological son, the young emperor Liu Hui.

No longer talking around with her, Liu Zixing stood up and said calmly: "Sister Xinghua goes back to rest, and I have to go out for a while."

"Brother is out so late? Why don't we just drink tea and play chess with my little sister?" Xinghua reached out and pulled his sleeve.
