When Han You arrived at the small courtyard where Zhou Xiao was under house arrest, Zhou Tong was as sleepy as a dog. He had barely slept a wink since he left the prison.
"Where's Lu Baichuan?"
Han You shouted: "Where did the dead go? Replace the broken turtle."
The door of the adjacent wing was pushed open, and Lu Baichuan reluctantly walked out, rubbing his eyes.
Can Gui was really sleepy. He smiled gratefully at Han You and went to find a place to sleep.
Perhaps because he heard the shouting outside, Zhou Xiao, dressed in underwear, pushed open the door and walked out, his eyes bleary.
"What's the ghost's name?"
Zhou Xiao, who was rubbing his eyes, cursed: "Don't you know that this king is taking a rest?"
Zhou Tong, who was about to leave, raised his foot to kick him. Zhou Xiao quickly took a step back, looking a little embarrassed.
"Don't you fucking cause trouble."
If the second child scolds the eldest son, it is like the father scolding his son, with a cold look on his face.
"If you continue to show off your royal authority in front of Shao Yin, don't blame my second brother for being rough with you!"
Zhou Xiao curled his lips, seven were dissatisfied and eight were dissatisfied, but he didn't "talk back".
Han You didn't have his trademark playful smile. He turned around and sat on the stone table in the small courtyard: "Change, I have something to ask you."
Since Zhou Tong hadn't left yet, Zhou Xiao muttered something to the effect of what a piece of shit you were, how could you talk to me.
Wang Hai was making tea nearby, and Lu Baichuan was sitting nearby watching the excitement. Jiang Zhui and Feng Bai, who had just woken up, were squatting on both sides holding knives.
Jiang Zhui and Feng Bai had never been in contact with Zhou Xiao. They only knew his deeds and felt that this guy was a dangerous person and did not dare to be careless.
After waiting for a while, Zhou Tong, still wearing his underwear, came out. His hair was untied and he sat down in front of Han You without even arranging it.
Da Ma Jin Dao sat there and didn't sit up straight. This guy didn't look like a prince, he looked like Huang He.
"Second brother told me that you, the emperor's personal soldier, are deeply trusted by my father, and you are the first-class celebrity in front of my father."
Zhou Xiao scratched his nose: "Any advice."
"If I remember correctly, you tried to kill me, right."
"That's right." Zhou Xiao laughed: "If I kill you, I will return to the Southland. I don't believe that Han Bairen is the best in the world, so I want to know him."
Wang Hai brought the teapot and took a teacup. Before he could pour it for Han You, Zhou Xiao grabbed the teacup with a smile and a provocative look.
Han You didn't say anything, just looked at Zhou Xiao calmly.
According to his understanding, Zhou Xiao should be a well-educated person who has read four books and five classics. Although he is proficient in military training, he considers himself a scholar.
Not only Zhou Tong said this, but Lu Baichuan also said this. Although he is rebellious by nature, he still behaves like a knowledgeable and sensible person in daily life. When I saw him today, he looked like a rogue.
"The Wolf Tribe has now surrendered to the imperial court, and the Eagle Tribe will do the same in time. If I want to lead the border troops to occupy the mountains and forests, and turn the mountains and forests outside the pass into my Great Zhou territory, what should I do?"
Han You's tone was calm, and he said this sentence without any beginning or end. Zhou Xiao's expression suddenly changed, and he frowned and stared at the former.
"You're not talking, are you? Then I'm leaving. You can continue to stay."
"Wait a minute."
Seeing Han You preparing to leave, Zhou Xiao asked coldly: "Why do you do that?"
"What you're asking is so funny. You don't mention official position or status. You just say that as a citizen of the Zhou Dynasty, I want to open up territory for the country. Is there any problem?"
"Just you?"
Han You: "..."
Zhou Xiao began to collapse again, returning to the same look as before.
Han You happily started counting with his fingers.
"Let's take a look. First, you are now known as a rebel. I won't hide it from you. The border commander, deputy commander, battalion commanders and deputy generals, including some school captains, all know that you are not really a rebel. , including many of the troops below, are also aware of it, but, but, no one dares to say anything if they know it.”
"so what."
"Two, your palace guard commander Xi Zhi ran to the border to ask for help. If I had not agreed to go out to rescue you, maybe you would not die today, or tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, but one day, you will die. Die in the mountains and forests.”
Zhou Xiao smiled disdainfully: "You think I am afraid of death. If I were afraid, I wouldn't be such a rebel!"
"Don't worry, there is a third and most important point."
Han You's smile grew thicker: "According to the rules, according to reason, according to any statement, I can now order someone to escort you back to the capital and send you to the palace. Under normal circumstances, I will do the same. Return to the capital to see your majesty. , are you embarrassed, uncomfortable, and ashamed?"
Zhou Xiao's eye sockets trembled slightly.
As he said, he was not afraid of death, but he was afraid of seeing Lao Ba.
Although he was a false rebel, he killed many aristocratic families, wiped out many southern aristocratic families for Lao Ba to secure the throne, and played an indispensable role in Zhou Tianfeng's downfall. The problem was that that was not how things happened.
This guy is a prince, a prince, and the eldest son of the royal family.
It's true that the emperor has become a laughing stock. He was originally a rebel. Your boss has also rebelled. This is not a joke.
After falsely rebelling and killing so many aristocratic families, there is no way to vindicate him. Once he is vindicated, the emperor in the palace will fall into an unfavorable situation.
This is also the reason why Zhou Xiao is unwilling to face Lao Ba. A severe beating will definitely be indispensable when they meet. It doesn’t matter if the skin is painful. It can be done later. How to arrange it in the future? Can’t he live incognito? If Zhou Xiao is It is impossible for a person who is trying to live an ignoble life to leave the seclusion and want to die outside the seclusion.
With a snap of his fingers, Han You took the tea cup over, poured himself a cup of tea, and opened his mouth with a smile.
"Your Highness, the First Prince, how about I show you a clear path?"
"If you fart, hurry up."
"In order to open up territory for our Great Zhou Dynasty, the four major tribes will win over one group and suppress one group and kill another group. We will clear the borders of the border for the border troops and turn the mountains and forests outside the Pass into our Great Zhou territory."
Zhou Xiao burst out laughing, not hiding the sarcasm on his face.
Han You said to himself: "If you can play a role in this matter, there is no need to return to the capital immediately to embarrass His Majesty and embarrass yourself. If this thing can be done, you will establish Compared with such achievements, killing several noble families in the South is nothing. If the world mentions your pretended rebellion, not only will they not laugh at you, but they will give a thumbs up and praise you. You are a good man and a wise man today. King, the eldest prince who is both civil and military."
Zhou Xiao's expression changed, and his breathing became heavier. After being silent for a long time, he frowned and asked, "What should I do?"
"Who are you asking? If I want to know, I'll tell you."
Zhou Xiao: “…”
Han You stood up and stretched a lot: "I'll give you one day to find your second brother, Lu Baichuan and others to understand what happened inside and outside the customs after your rebellion. After understanding what happened inside and outside the customs, think about whether there is any solution. Yes, I persuaded Your Majesty to leave you at the border. Unexpectedly, I will have you brought back to the capital to bear the kindness of my old father. You can think about it yourself."
After saying that, Han You left with his friends with his hands behind his back, leaving the eldest prince Zhou Xiao to fight alone.
