Han You walked into the main hall and did not dare to sit down too close to Zhou Ben, so he was more attentive.
He couldn't see through Zhou Bi.
In his impression, this guy would either get beaten or cry. After the father beat the boss, he would beat the boss, the boss would beat the second child, the second child would beat the ninth child, and after the ninth child was beaten, everyone would beat him together, day by day, like a doormat. , still a mama’s boy.
Lu Baichuan stepped forward, his sword unsheathed, and stood behind Zhou Ben.
"Your Highness, don't overestimate your position in His Majesty's heart, and don't underestimate Shao Yin's position in His Majesty's heart. If you act rashly, don't blame the general for being ruthless."
"How could I, the king, be so arrogant?"
Zhou Ben's face was full of self-deprecation: "The commander is naturally extremely important in the heart of my father. How can I, as a son-in-law, compare with the commander? That's peace of mind."
"Your Majesty, it's good that you understand the importance of this."
After thinking about it, Lu Baichuan added: "I am so disappointed in you."
Zhou Bi opened his mouth and suddenly turned back: "Did you know that when I rushed to the fiefdom, I wrote a letter to ask for help from my father. I was alone in the East China Sea and didn't even have anyone I could trust. In the letter, I mentioned that I wanted you. Come to serve as the guard of my palace, but my father has not mentioned it to you. If he had mentioned it, I would not..."
"The general will know about this."
Lu Baichuan's eyes changed somewhat.
"Then why don't you come..."
Halfway through, Zhou Ben laughed at himself: "That's right, you don't look down on me either, right?"
Lu Baichuan shook his head: "Not only His Highness, but His Highness Qin, Chu and Han also hope that the general will go to their fiefdom to serve as the guard commander. It's not that the general looks down on your highness, but that the general looks down on everyone... General I don’t want to leave Jingzhong.”
"Yeah."
Zhou Bi turned his head and stopped worrying about this matter. There was no need to worry about it.
Lu Baichuan did not dare to slack off. The Zhou Ben in front of him was already far away from the cautious young man in his memory.
Han You and Wang Hai looked at each other, and they couldn't figure out how a bear like Lu Baichuan could become the favorite of the royal family. What ability did he have, Xian?
Han You also didn't know something. In the army, Han Bairen was the most willful one. Lao Ba, Wen Wu, and Wen Yong didn't dare to control him. They were afraid of being singled out. In a fight with Lu Baichuan, it would be okay if he won, but if he lost, It would be a shame if you won, because there is a possibility of winning, but well, you don’t always win.
This is how it is in the military. People of similar rank will fight if they can't argue with each other. Winning or losing will be determined by fists and kicks. Lu Baichuan is born to be 50-50, and he will do it if he doesn't accept anyone.
It was because Lu Baichuan was willful that the young princes liked him very much. When his father scolded him, Lu Baichuan helped them seek justice.
Especially Zhou Bi, because his mother's status is relatively inferior, Lu Baichuan always excuses him, saying that at least he has a mother and a father. Looking at him, Lu Baichuan, alone and alone, is much more pitiful than Zhou Bi.
In fact, Lu Baichuan was talking nonsense. He had a lot of parents and a lot of relatives in the family. They were all in the West. He just wanted to be close to the emperor because he served as a sword guard and didn't want the outside world to know. Over time, everyone thought this guy was an orphan. Woolen cloth.
"Let me guess." Han You crossed his legs and said, "You haven't slept so late. You are still waiting for the letter. After the assassin kills people, you still need to pay attention to the news in Beijing, right?"
"That's right." Zhou Ben admitted generously: "Four Seasons Villa, Honglu Temple, Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Punishment each send one person."
"There is another person who is going to kill people and silence them. Is it right to kill Jingwei? What does that Jingwei know?"
"It's just a small matter. Manager Liu used some money to ask the guards and soldiers of Honglu Temple about the time of night patrol tonight."
Han You narrowed his eyes: "Do you know who your Majesty values the most?"
"Of course I know, Jun Wu, but that Jun Wu betrayed his comrades when he saw the money. When he collected the money, he clearly knew that something was going to happen. If something happened, he would not be able to escape his involvement. Wouldn't it be a pity for such a person to die?"
Zhou Ben's face was full of joking: "If the commander wants to preach, there is no need. The lives on your hands are no less than mine."
"Hahahaha." Han You was very proud: "This commander has never killed anyone."
"Yes, I know." Lu Baichuan nodded repeatedly: "They are all locked up in the dungeon."
Han You rubbed his eyebrows: "Before I escort you into the palace, answer me a question, why do you do this?"
"How about Han Tong being the first to answer my question."
"explain."
"How am I inferior to Xiao Jiu, inferior to eldest brother, inferior to second brother?"
Han You looked confused: "Why do you ask?"
"I know that after all, you have been friends with Xiao Jiu when you were still young, but what about the second brother? When the second brother first entered the capital, he humiliated you in front of countless people, humiliated you greatly, and made you lose face. Sweeping the floor, why don't you imprison him in the dungeon, why don't you ask your father to put him under house arrest? That's all. The second brother is rude, disrespectful, and has no brains, but even so, you still act like you are protecting Xiaojiu. Let him make great achievements and become famous all over the world!"
Speaking of this, Zhou Ben gritted his teeth and said: "There is also the eldest brother. The eldest brother is a rebel and a traitor. Others think that the eldest brother is willing to accept humiliation. How can I not know it? He must be in danger because he does not intend to come back alive and deliberately fights with his father." Go against it, and also, with the temper of my eldest brother, how can he be irritable with you, how can he be as obedient to you as Xiaojiu is, but why do you want to lose your reputation and risk your life to save him and let him go from there? The anti-king became a general who opened up new territories and expanded his territory!”
Han You opened his mouth wide, full of weirdness.
Zhou Ben snorted heavily: "Only I, only I, have been humiliated, forced, and tortured so many times that you have made me a joke and the laughing stock of the world. How can I be humiliated in public? You, could it be that I have rebelled and rebelled? I just want to protect some people involuntarily, why have I become such a despicable person in your eyes?"
With a bang, Zhou Ben slapped the table: "Everyone in the world says that you, Han You, have the ability to recognize people. It's a joke, it's a big joke. What's the difference between you and those vulgar warriors in the army back then?"
"What do you mean by this?" Han You couldn't help but look at Lu Baichuan.
Dachuan'er said stupidly: "At the beginning, all the generals and captains in the army looked down upon him. Everyone was more interested in the eldest prince and the second prince."
"The same to you?"
"well enough."
Han You: "..."
"I don't need your answer anymore." Zhou Bi put down the tea cup: "Please escort me to the palace. I am a prince, a prince in life and a prince in death. I don't need to be humiliated by you. There is only one person in the world who can punish me. You have a father, and you Han You...heh, you are not qualified."
"Really?" Lu Baichuan said in a gloomy tone: "Your Majesty, guess how your Majesty will react now that Shao Yin has broken your leg. How will the ministers react? How will the people of the world react?"
Zhou Ben's face froze and he was speechless.
"No response." Lu Baichuan sighed: "You don't take Shao Yin seriously, so why do Shao Yin take you seriously? Maybe this is the difference between you and His Highnesses King Qin and King Zhao."
"I'd better answer His Highness's question."
Han You stared at Zhou Bi and said sternly: "The general does not look down on His Highness, but looks down on all those who collude with the Ying thieves and live with the Donghai family. It just so happens that you are both kinds of people."
"You think you know the Ying people?"
"It's because you don't understand the Ying people. I don't want to argue with you on this matter."
Han You said distractedly: "Now answer my question, why do you do this just to prevent me from going to the East China Sea?"
"Fight."
"Fight?"
"Yes, Zheng." Zhou Ben laughed miserably: "If you go to the East China Sea, you will die."
"This is nothing for you to worry about."
"But I am afraid that if you don't die, if you don't die, I will be the one who dies."
Han You's pupils shrank suddenly: "What does this mean?"
"My king...my king, I am already in a deep quagmire. At the beginning, the Fang family promised me that within ten years, I would let me sit on the position of commander-in-chief of the East China Sea Marine Corps. I was thinking...I was thinking about it. At that time, I, as the younger brother, will definitely be better than the eldest brother."
Han Yousheng swallowed the words "It's up to you" back into his stomach.
"It's just that after entering the capital, I...wanted..."
"Want to be a prince?"
"Yes, who doesn't want to be the prince, who doesn't want to be the heir apparent, and who doesn't want to take the time to sit on the Nine-Five Supreme Dragon Throne and command the world."
Zhou Ben's eyes became a little distracted: "I don't know why I have so many undue ambitions. When I was in the fiefdom, where did I see so much money and so many beautiful women? I have never seen such a luxurious life. Gradually, gradually, I... fell into a quagmire."
Han You rubbed his eyebrows vigorously: "This is the reason why you are afraid of me going to the East China Sea. Your Majesty and I know about you in the East China Sea, which is just the tip of the iceberg. You are not only because Lanshan Academy saved you, but You are a member of the Blue Shirt Academy, from a bystander to a participant, from a participant to a very important person, right?"
"That's right. The bystander is me. The participant is me. The king...has become a very important person in the school. This is a deep trap."
"Stop talking, I'm afraid I will really cripple you or kill you."
Han You shook his head: "Now let's talk about assassinating the envoy."
"Wait!"
Zhou Ben's expression suddenly changed, and he looked a little ferocious: "I don't believe it was General Han who saw through our scheme. It was you, Han You, who saw through it. I want to compete with you."
Han You keenly heard the key word "we".
He just said that what happened tonight was too contradictory to Zhou Ben's character.
