Chapter 38: Secret Discussion

It's just a lot of words without speculation.

When Liu Zixing saw He Yuanqing follow the trend and praise the young talent, he couldn't help but feel more jealous in his heart.

No longer paying attention to this dull and serious-looking man, Liu Zixing wrapped his fur cloak tightly around his body, hit his horse and hurried on in the wind and snow.

He Yuanqing also pretended not to know. After leading the group to a certain military camp, he only said, "Military orders are like mountains and outsiders are not allowed to enter" and asked them to wait outside the camp gate.

Liu Zixing and others had no choice but to obey the order and stood waiting in the cold wind. And He Yuanqing went into the camp, warmed himself by the fire, and then came out and said regretfully: "It's unfortunate that the Crown Prince came here. It is said that King Xiao Nanchen only leaves every two days. We have to go to the next military camp and search again."

Liu Zixing, who had dismounted and was stamping on the spot, had no choice but to get on his horse again and follow suit.

Not to mention him, even the masters in the inner circle were so cold that their noses and tears fell in large numbers and were wiped off.

He was late on his way, and couldn't get to the village or get off to the store, so He Yuanqing had no choice but to order his entourage to put up a temporary felt tent to stay.

After enduring a lot of wind, snow, and cold, Liu Zixing and others walked around in a large circle before they found the military camp where Zhou Shengchen was located not far from Chang'an City.

Hearing that the prince was coming, military advisor Xie Chong couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Military advisor, don't worry. The prince is here because of Xiao Yan. We can just receive him as normal." Zhou Shengchen said calmly and ordered him to go out of the camp to greet him.

Liu Zixing quietly wiped away the snot from the cold, but he only saw an old man who thought he had gray hair coming out with some soldiers. He couldn't help but frown and asked, "Why is my uncle not here?"

Military advisor Xie Chong also frowned after hearing this, and first reminded him in a low voice: "The prince's status is noble, but he must have the courtesy. The military camp is full of rough guys. Hearing you call 'Uncle Emperor' will definitely make him feel unhappy. I’m afraid there will be a noise.”

Liu Zixing came to his senses - because he became Liu Hui's "son", he should have been demoted a generation.

He quickly changed his words and said, "He is my king's great-uncle, great-uncle."

Xie Chong raised his hands and said seriously: "King Xiao Nanchen is dealing with military affairs. It is inconvenient to come out to greet the prince immediately, so I ordered the old minister Xie Chong to come."

Although he felt that King Xiao Nanchen was too arrogant, Liu Zixing knew that he was originally unruly and that he had come from afar to ask for help, so he could only say: "I have long heard that the emperor's uncle has a resourceful military advisor. It turns out to be your Excellency. It's a pleasure to meet him." Nice to meet you."

Xie Chong sighed with a smile: "I am still getting old. Okay, please dismount the prince and enter the camp on foot."

Liu Zixing had no choice but to dismount and slowly follow Xie Chong into the military camp.

Seeing the order of the camps everywhere, he secretly admired and looked forward to it: If it weren't for King Xiao Nanchen, how could there be such a mighty army? Without such a heroic army, how could my wish be realized? !

The joy in the heart can offset part of the coldness in the body. But Liu Zixing glanced slightly and saw the four guards with cold faces, staring at him at all times.

Sighing secretly, he followed Xie Chong and walked towards the tent.

"Wait a minute!" Several majestic guards at the entrance of the tent reached out and grabbed a few people.

Liu Zixing and others were stunned for a moment, then the guard shouted: "When outsiders enter the tent, they must take off their weapons!"

Xie Chong said quickly: "This is,"

Liu Zixing immediately waved his hand: "I will obey your orders." After that, he took off the sword from his waist and handed it to the guard.

The four Ouchi masters next to them each hesitated for a moment, then had no choice but to take off their sabers and hand them to the guards.

Xie Chong immediately led a few people into the tent, and Liu Zixing suddenly said to himself, "It's so warm!"

There were two pots of charcoal fire burning in the tent, which made people, especially Liu Zixing, who had been traveling in the wind and snow in recent days, feel like a spring breeze.

As much as his body felt this way, he also felt it in his heart. Because King Xiao Nanchen had already stood up from behind the public eucalyptus with a smile on his face and walked over slowly.

Liu Zixing was the first to salute: "Meet the Emperor's uncle!"

Zhou Shengchen secretly thought that he was "well-behaved" and said with a smile: "The prince does not hesitate to show his dignity and come to the military camp in such cold weather. There is something urgent."

Liu Zixing said quickly: "Exactly." After saying that, he gestured behind him with his eyes.

Zhou Shengchen immediately frowned and looked at those people. Army Commander Ma Ganhua immediately drew his sword and shouted: "How can outsiders come in and out of King Nanchen's tent at will! Anyone who breaks in without permission will die!"

Liu Zixing felt proud, but he quickly apologized, then turned around and shouted: "Go out first!"

These four people knew that they did not have the status to stay in the big tent, so they had no choice but to bow their heads and exit.

At this time, Liu Zixing looked extremely happy and his expression became cheerful.

Zhou Shengchen just smiled, turned around and walked to the public eucalyptus, Liu Zixing quickly followed. Military advisor Xie Chong and others neither went out nor followed, but just waited where they were.

The two were sitting very close to each other, and Liu Zixing whispered urgently: "Liu Yuan and Zhao Teng are ambitious and evil-hearted. They threaten Your Majesty and are ready to do harm at any time! I beg the Emperor's uncle to send troops to clear Your Majesty's side and save Your Majesty!"

"How is this possible?" Zhou Shengchen heard it clearly and could understand it, but he could not agree with it, so he frowned and said, "I previously swore not to enter Zhongzhou, but was forced to do so by Your Majesty and the Queen Mother. But now you can If you say that, will I lead the troops? Not to mention that it will make His Majesty’s situation more dangerous, and it will also make people in the world question this king.”

Liu Zixing did not give in, and continued to whisper: "I have brought your Majesty's secret order, and I have also thought about how the emperor's uncle will lead the troops - on the pretext of escorting Xiao Yan to Beijing for trial! At that time, the emperor's uncle quietly Enter the city and restrain Liu Yuan; I have a way to kill Zhao Teng myself!"

He spoke simply, and Zhou Shengchen kept nodding in agreement, and then asked in a low voice: "Can you handle Zhao Teng alone?"

"The Emperor's uncle is willing to risk his own life, how dare I just sit back and enjoy the benefits!" After Liu Zixing said this, he prostrated himself on the ground again, wiping his tears and crying.

Reaching out to help him up, Zhou Shengchen comforted him and said, "I am sending troops just for your majesty's safety. The prince is deeply moved. Do you really want to wait to inherit the throne in the future?"

Liu Zixing was stunned for a moment. When he saw him again, his eyes were gentle, and the panic in his heart calmed down a bit. After thinking for a while, he replied: "I was named the King of Guangling, and I also bear the reputation of the prince. But after all, your majesty is still in his youth and will have his own heir soon. Alas,"

He sighed, and then continued: "My future is probably the most unpredictable."

After frowning and thinking for a moment, Zhou Shengchen couldn't help but smile: "It seems that you shouldn't be so eager."

Liu Zixing hurriedly bowed to the ground: "Your Majesty's safety is the most important thing for me as a minister to kill myself to repay. If I can live my life in peace in the future, it will be the blessing of the Emperor Taishu!"

Zhou Shengchen pulled him up, stared into his eyes and said, "I think you look quite noble."

"This," Liu Zixing's eyes immediately flashed with a glimmer of light, and he secretly praised in his heart: The heroes really see the same thing!
