Although Liu Qi and the second prince have different goals, the people they have to deal with are the same.
"Liu Gongzi, take the liberty to ask whether what you are saying can represent the general. If this matter is only what Liu Gongzi thought unilaterally, without the support of the general, this matter may not be completed!" The second prince said.
Liu Qi smiled slightly and said: "My son meant that the old man was fully supporting him. How does the second prince feel?"
The second prince laughed immediately. If Liu Qi's meaning could be supported by the general, it would be equivalent to the support of the general. In the Kuangwu Empire, even the entire Five Elements Continent knows that the general is the military pillar of the Kuangwu Empire. Without a general, there would be no current Kuangwu Empire. The general commanding nearly half of the military power of the Kuangwu Empire, as long as the generals support, The success is definitely considered to be the majority.
Although the second prince has a lot of heartfelt men, but the military strength is not enough, if he can get the support of the general, it will be even more powerful.
"Liu Gongzi, if that's the case, Liu Gongzi must have a good plan in his mind." The second prince seemed very happy. He couldn't help it now. After waiting for so many years, he finally waited for this opportunity.
"The prince certainly does not want the prince to form an alliance with the second prince. He will stop it at all costs, just like today's assassination. Then, what we have to do is to let the prince see that we are not in an alliance, and temporarily relax his vigilance. The second prince The Whirlwind City is not far from the imperial city. When the time is right, the imperial city can be surrounded and attacked inside and out. The prince cannot resist even if he has great skills!"
"Then how do we let the prince relax our vigilance?"
"Tomorrow we deliberately perform a good show. His Royal Highness deliberately wronged this son by sending someone to assassinate you, thus chasing and killing him throughout the city. This drama must be true. It must be true with a real sword and a gun! Only then will the prince be the prince. I believe there is no alliance between us!"
The second prince's eyes lit up, and he suddenly felt that this was a good idea, but then he asked, "This king can do this, but the time that Liu Gongzi said is ripe, when is the time ripe?"
"Wait! Once the time is right, this son will naturally contact the second prince. At that time, the second prince only needs to cooperate!" Liu Qi said with squinting eyes.
"It's so good, the king is ready at any time, waiting for the news of Liu Gongzi!"
Liu Qi nodded, and then talked with the second prince about specific cooperation matters, and then Liu Qi returned to the inn alone.
…
As soon as the sky came to light the next day, the Yuelai Inn where Liu Qi was located was overturned by the noise.
"Quick! Attention all the soldiers, the real murderer who assassinated His Royal Highness the second prince lives in the inn, he is the grand general's grandson Liu Qi! Surround the entire inn, don't let Liu Qi run away, hurry up, surround!"
Hundreds of soldiers surrounded Liu Qi's inn one after another, all with weapons in their hands.
"Young Master, it's not good. The inn was surrounded by the Second Prince's army, saying that Young Master was the real murderer behind the assassination. What should we do now?" Zhang Dazhuang hurried to Liu Qi's room to report the situation outside.
"What should I do? Of course, it's a flash of people, really wait for someone to be arrested here!"
"But if you just ran away like this, wouldn't it be self-inflicted, but the young master is not the real murderer!"
"Since they have surrounded here with full arms, they must be convinced, even if they explain it, it will not have any effect!"
"That's what it said. Then we cover the young master from leaving here!"
As a result, Liu Qi and his party quickly left from the back of the inn.
"Liu Qi is here, hurry up, stop them, don't let them escape!" The soldiers guarding at the rear saw Liu Qi, and they all started to take action.
"Go away, our young master is not a murderer!" Zhang Dazhuang kicked a soldier and roared angrily.
"Huh! Let's not quibble, we already have conclusive evidence, and we won't be able to catch it with our hands. If we don't follow it, let's kill it!" the leader of the general roared coldly.
"Cold the next door! If that's the case, then rush out!"
Zhang Dazhuang and the three guards immediately rushed to the pile of people, a pile of soldiers was lifted off, and a crack was instantly torn apart, and all the soldiers shot, even if they died, they would stay in Whirlwind City! "The general pointed at Liu Qi and roared angrily.
Whoosh whoosh...
Numerous sharp arrows shot at Liu Qi and his group. Zhang Dazhuang's several guards are masters, and You Shenglan are also extraordinary. Of course it is not a problem to stop these sharp arrows. Not to mention Liu Qi, these sharp arrows are absolutely not right. He caused harm.
When surrounded by dozens of soldiers, Liu Qi took out dozens of silver needles from his chest and shot them at dozens of soldiers.
Boom! With a loud noise, Liu Qi's attacking array was activated, and dozens of soldiers were blown away by the huge force in an instant.
"Now, flash!" Liu Qi shouted to everyone.
Suddenly, several figures flashed past, and Liu Qi and his party directly broke through the soldiers' encirclement.
"Attention everyone, chase immediately, don't let Liu Qi and his party escape, chase it all out, hurry!"
After Liu Qi broke through the encirclement, he escaped from Whirlwind City along a route agreed with the second prince in advance. There were countless soldiers behind Whirlwind City, but it was a pity that he couldn't catch Liu Qi at all. Moreover, the soldiers who intercepted in front were not the opponents of Liu Qi and his group. In this way, Liu Qi and his group broke through from the gate of Whirlwind City where the guards were the weakest. lost.
After Liu Qi escaped from Whirlwind City, the second prince immediately issued a national wanted order and made Liu Qi a national wanted.
The matter had spread to the imperial city, and it caused an uproar. Even the court was discussing the matter.
"Report to the great king that General Liu's grandson has been rebellious and assassinated the second prince. His Royal Highness has issued a national wanted order to arrest Liu Qi. I hope that the king can severely punish this rebellious kid. Liu Qi is the grandson of the general. The general also has the responsibility of negligence. Please confess the crime to show the king's law!" Hubu Shangshu Cai Ren rightfully reported the assassination in the court. He finally caught this opportunity, and of course he would not let it go.
"Cai Xiaoer! What evidence do you have to prove that the old man and grandson assassinated the second prince, or that you have seen it with your own eyes? This incident is clearly planted and blamed. You even rightly said that you condemned the crime. I think you planted it!" Liu Qitian curled his lips and said disdainfully.
"This is the wanted order issued by the second prince himself. Even if it was not made by Liu Qi, it was also instructed by Liu Qi. Otherwise, why did Liu Qi be assassinated when the second prince arrived in Whirlwind City? Is it such a coincidence?"
"Fart! You can get evidence if you have the ability, but if you don't have any evidence, you can say a fart!"
"General, this is the court hall. Ministers are still in civilized terms, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the king!"
"Which word is the old man rude? Tell me!"
"..."
The king was annoyed by the courtiers below, and suddenly said loudly, "Dear Aiqing, stop arguing. This happened too suddenly, and the assassination of the prince is not a trivial matter! But there is no evidence of this matter yet. After finding the grand general's grandson Liu Qi Investigate the matter clearly before discussing the matter. This king must severely punish the murderer behind the assassination, but he also needs real evidence!"
"Great King Yingming!"
"This matter involves the royal family as well as the royal family. The investigation will be left to the prince. The course of the matter and the evidence must be investigated clearly. Do you have any objections?"
"Erchen has no objection!"
"The old minister has objections. His Royal Highness and His Highness the Second Prince are brothers, and certain aspects must have subjective ideas, and the prince should not be allowed to investigate this matter!" Liu Qitian objected directly.
"His Royal Highness is the prince of the Kuangwu Empire, how can there be prejudice, he will definitely accomplish this very well!" Cai Ren quibbled.
"General, the king's heart has been decided, and the matter is left to the prince to deal with. With the king's will again, he will definitely complete the matter perfectly!" The king interrupted Liu Qitian, who wanted to speak, and said solemnly.
"General Liu, this palace will definitely follow the father's explanation and will never let your grandson be wronged. Please rest assured, General Liu!" The prince arched his hands at Liu Qitian and said with a smile.
"Humph!" Liu Qitian snorted coldly.
After the court meeting, Liu Qitian hurriedly returned to the general's mansion.
Of course, Liu Qitian didn't believe Liu Qi's assassination of the second prince, but he didn't know what Liu Qi was doing. He had made such a big disturbance. Now the entire Kuangwu Empire knew that Liu Qitian sent someone to assassinate the second prince.
Liu Qitian has sent someone to investigate the reason, but the result is that there is no result. The result is that the second prince thinks that Liu Qi is behind the scenes. Moreover, Liu Qi seemed to have evaporated, making Liu Qitian feel like he was up and down all day long, wishing to go out and search for it by himself.
In the middle of the night, Liu Qitian still couldn't sleep. After discussing the search for Liu Qi with several generals, he stayed in the study alone and thought.
Just as Liu Qitian was thinking, there was a sound outside the door, and then the door was gently pushed open.
Liu Qitian flashed to the door in an instant, ready to give a blow to the person who sneaked in.
"Master, don't be impulsive, it's me!" Liu Qi suddenly whispered when Liu Qitian was about to attack.
"Grass! It turned out to be you, stinky boy, where did you go? Do you know what happened to the assassination of the second prince?" Liu Qitian pulled Liu Qi in and frowned after closing the door. Asked.
"This is a long story. Anyway, I didn't do this thing, but the prince did it. In fact, the second prince and I played it for the prince."
"That's it! What are you going to do next? Now the whole court thinks that you assassinated the second prince. This act is too much!"
"Actually, I don't know what to do next, just adapt to the situation."
"General, it's not good. The prince brought people to the general's mansion. They said they would take the young master for questioning!"
At this moment, an anxious cry of the next person sounded outside the door.
"You'd better not show up, the old man go out and have a look!" Liu Qitian said to Liu Qi solemnly.
