On the Zhenhua stage, the King of Chu was teasing Young Master Zhen. Young Master Zhen's little arms like lotus roots were pulling the King of Chu's beard and hair, and he kept pressing against the King of Chu, making the King of Chu laugh with joy.
Hearing that Fei Wuji was coming to the meeting, he did not shy away and announced him in.
Meng Ying was sitting beside her. Although she was a mother, her beauty was still so stunning. Every time Fei Wuji came to the palace and saw her, he didn't dare to look at her.
The King of Chu smiled and said: "Fei Qing is sitting alone, Zhen'er is too fond of mischief, I can't get away from here..."
Fei Wuji also laughed: "The young master is naturally friendly to the king, I really envy him."
The King of Chu finally broke free of Xufa from Gongzi Zhen, and just as he was about to respond to Fei Wuji, Gongzi Zhen wrapped his arms around his neck and kept holding on to him. The King of Chu was so happy that he didn't know what to do.
"Huh? Let go, let go, Zhen'er let go, there are important ministers around, I see something bad, I'm rude...Haha..."
Fei Wuji suddenly started sobbing softly from the side.
King Chu asked curiously: "Fei Qing? What's wrong with Fei Qing?"
Fei Wuji swallowed even more: "Seeing the king's father and son having a blind date, I... am extremely happy and sad..."
The King of Chu sighed softly, and finally took Master Zhen off his neck and handed him to Meng Ying beside him. He sat down and said: "The Qing family is unfortunate and I regret it... What's the matter? There is a way to pursue the murderer. What's the progress?"
Fei Wuji wiped away his tears and replied: "Your Majesty is concerned. I have found out the location of the murderer."
King Chu said: "Then go and arrest him! Did he escape to another country? Which country? I will give you a letter of credence. No matter which country he is in, let him have nowhere to hide. If he refuses to surrender, he will raise an army." Cut it down!"
Fei Wuji sighed: "I am guilty of death. I dare not expect to avenge Hong'er."
The King of Chu was puzzled: "If you have anything to say, tell me quickly."
Fei Wuji reported: "I am frightened. I didn't know that the prince misunderstood me so deeply. I come here to say goodbye to Your Majesty, and I am willing to leave Yingdu and save the rest of my life."
Upon hearing this, King Chu was immediately stunned, and his face slowly darkened: "Could the murderer be one of the prince's people?"
Fei Wuji covered his face with his hands, tears falling from between his fingers, and cried: "Your Majesty, please do not blame the Crown Prince. Everything is my fault. It was my fault that I offended the Crown Prince... But, I also I don’t know what I did wrong, so I had to leave Yingdu and ask the king to please allow me to return home because I have served you wholeheartedly.”
King Chu confirmed again: "Have you found out?"
Fei Wuji said: "Siwei Fei Bin is outside the palace, and the whereabouts of the murderer Wei Fushen are being found out by the Tingsi."
The King of Chu flicked his sleeves: "Xuan!"
After a while, Fei Bin entered the palace and went to the Zhenhua Terrace to report: "The prince set up an assassination camp by the Wild Duck Lake near Chengfu to recruit swordsmen and knights from all over the world. The imperial temple has identified Wei Fushen, the murderer of Fei Hong, who is in the camp. .”
King Chu was stunned for a long time, and then suddenly sneered: "Jiying? What does he want to do? Apart from Wei Fushen, who else is there in Ciying?"
Fei Bin said: "The assassination camp is secretive and heavily guarded. It is difficult for me to find out. It is currently known that the swordsman Zhuanzhu, who was the former bodyguard of the princess, is also in the camp. By the way, the people preparing for the assassination camp are members of the prince's guests. .”
King Chu suddenly smiled: "Okay, my son has set up a camp to recruit heroes from all over the world? Is he a hero? Haha, he really has the ambition to cheer up!"
Fei Wuji advised: "Your Majesty, don't hurt the relationship between father and son because of me, otherwise I will die without redemption. I have made up my mind to return home. I have one last word before I leave. I hope your Majesty will allow me to do so." Accept.”
King Chu sneered and glanced at Fei Wuji without comment.
Fei Wuji took out the prince's memorandum from his sleeve and presented it: "I ask the king for permission to allow the prince to return to Ying. From then on, father and son are in harmony, and the king and his ministers are of one mind."
King Chu opened his eyes and looked at them, nodded and said: "Want to return to Yingdu? Do you want to be filial?"
Feibin said: "I have something to say. If the king allows the prince to return to Ying, he must be ordered to disband the assassination camp. This assassination camp... does not conform to the rules and has no old rules in the past."
The King of Chu said: "Fei Qing doesn't need to mention the matter of returning home. Please step back first. I have my own arrangements for this matter."
After taking Fei Wuji and Fei Bin down, Meng Ying suddenly knelt down beside him and said, "Your Majesty, I sincerely ask your Majesty to take pity on you and grant Zhen'er a title so that you can go out to live in the city. I would like to leave the capital of Ying and raise Zhen'er to grow up. I will never dare to return Ying."
King Chu frowned and said, "What does this mean?"
Meng Ying said sadly: "If the prince returns, I am afraid that there will be no place for my mother and son to live in Yingdu."
The King of Chu was silent for a moment, then waved his sleeves and left.
Returning to Zhu Palace where he lived, King Chu thought for a long time and summoned Sima Han Fenyang, the father of the city in Yingdu.
Han Fenyang was in Ying to rush for the dispatch of military rations. The city father stationed a large number of troops, which could not be supported by the local people. Therefore, a large amount of grain and baggage was sent from Ying every year.
King Chu's first question was, how did the prince win or lose when he attacked Chengyang a few years ago?
Han Fenyang immediately started sweating on his forehead. He was present at the time and naturally knew how the battle started. Although he wanted to speak for the prince, he still did not dare to make it up and had to tell the truth.
King Chu’s second question is, why was it so easy to defeat the Four Kingdoms Allied Forces, but then retreated when encountering the Jin Army?
Han Fenyang tried his best to explain, saying that the Chu army had been conquering for a long time and the soldiers were tired. The Jin army was a new force with high morale, and retreating was to avoid its sharp edges. But looking at King Chu's expression, he should be dissatisfied with this rhetoric.
In fact, Han Fenyang also knew that some explanations did not make sense. The prince did hope to reach a peace treaty with the Jin State. He belonged to the Jin faction, which was different from the pro-Qin faction. It was indeed unreasonable to say that the prince had no intention of selling the Jin country well.
King Chu's third question was more specific. He asked the prince what it meant to accommodate Zhuanzhu and Wei Fushen.
Han Fenyang was not a close confidant of the prince. Before the prince went to the city father to seal the throne, he was the city father Sima. He was not regarded as a confidant by the prince. Therefore, he only heard about the prince's taking in Zhuan Zhu. As for the matter of taking in Wei Fushen, he really never heard of that.
But since there is Zhuanzhu, how can we dare to say that there is no ups and downs in Wei?
He didn't dare to vouch for the prince for such a big matter, otherwise his family and life would be ruined, so he hesitated for a long time and could only say that he didn't know anything about it.
After answering, Han Fenyang broke into a cold sweat.
As Sima, the father of the city, he did not answer "This is just lies", but hesitated and then said "I don't know", which is worth recalling.
The King of Chu sat on the throne, silent for a long time, and said slowly: "Han Qing, your family has lived in Chu for three generations. I have never regarded you as an outsider. You are a minister of Chu, right?"
Han Fenyang said: "It has been three generations since my grandfather entered Chu from the Jin Dynasty. I grew up in Yingdu since I was a child. I regard Yingdu as my hometown and I am already a Chu native."
The King of Chu asked again: "Han Qing, are you loyal to me?"
Han Fenyang kowtowed: "I and my family are willing to die for your Majesty."
King Chu continued: "Han Qing, when will you return to Chengfu?"
Han Fenyang said: "I have prepared all the food and fodder for the city father's army. It is estimated that we can set off in three days."
King Chu nodded and said, "Let Dou Mu go with you."
Dou Mu is Huan Lie Yin, the most powerful Huan Lie Guard who controls Yingdu. After hearing King Chu give this order, Han Fenyang closed his eyes, beads of sweat dripping from his forehead. He hesitated for a moment, lowered his head and said, "I obey." make."
