"My lord, you are here! Your Highness the Crown Prince has been in a bad mood since last night. I wanted to inform you overnight, but Your Highness said, Your Excellency is busy with work and should not bother you." Pulled.
"Then what did the accompanying imperial physician say?" the magistrate of Gucheng hurriedly asked for details.
But the attendant's description was very frightening. He opened his mouth and said that His Highness the Crown Prince was seriously ill, but closed his mouth and said that His Highness the Crown Prince was in a coma, which almost scared away half of the spirit of Zhizhou.
"Do you need to invite the county king to come over to serve the sick? After all, he is the cousin of His Royal Highness." The magistrate of the city had an idea, and immediately thought of Song Yucheng's identity, thinking that this was a good opportunity. Although it is very troublesome for the crown prince to be ill, it would be a pleasant surprise if Song Yucheng could settle down.
However, the attendant curled his lips: "Forget it! We said it yesterday, we can't ask the county prince to come over. But our master spoils this cousin. He doesn't let him invite him no matter what, even the imperial doctor is dismissed." It's sealed. It is said that the county prince is not allowed to come over, so as not to get sick."
"..." It was really a perfect rhetoric, leaving no room for others to refute.
The Zhizhou of Gucheng was stunned. Later, I don't know why, but after listening to the attendant and the imperial doctor talking, he was left here to serve the prince. There wasn't even time to go back and explain.
But everything is so logical, even though the magistrate of the city always vaguely doubted whether the prince pretended to be sick and deliberately kept him, but the follow-up details made him unable to find any flaws. After all, it is normal for the prince's confidantes to act, but others may not be impeccable.
But right now, on the prince's side, even a boy watching the medicine furnace wipes his tears from time to time, fearing that if something happens to the prince, they will lose their heads too. From this point of view, it should not be fake.
The magistrate of the city was very contradictory, but after the attendant arranged him into the pharmacy, he hurried back to report to the prince.
"Master, everything has been arranged."
"En." The prince responded.
He was lying on the bed right now, just looking at his face, he seemed to be seriously ill. But looking at his leisurely appearance flipping through the book, one can immediately understand that this person is clearly pretending.
"Master, the prince of our county is very capable. You don't know, the crippled king is so angry that he can't find a way out. He even wants to come to you and cry at this moment. It's a shame." The attendant's tone was full of gloating.
However, the prince replied: "Without us, Qi Nian is a serious county prince."
"Yes, yes. Master, what you said is correct." The attendant had been serving the crown prince since he was a child, and he was not afraid of being ordered, but rather narrowed down, "It's not us, it's your county prince."
What he said was playful and meant to be a bit of a test, but at this point, even if he didn't test, the prince's intentions are already clear. What's more, a thoughtful person like Rong Junwang is not worthy of Wu Wenshan's trash. I'm afraid that if it's Quan Da'an, there will only be his prince.
The prince didn't answer, but the slightly raised corners of his lips still showed his good mood.
It can only be said that Song Yucheng is really good at it. In just a day or two, he won the hearts of everyone around him. Just look at those hidden guards, who are now brothers and sisters with his soldiers in the Yu family army. Of course, loyalty must still be loyal to him. But the prince believes that if Song Yucheng finds them for help, as long as they don't betray the master, these people will definitely be obliged.
In the words of the hidden guard, "The king of the small county is the real smart man.". However, the prince felt that Song Yucheng's ability was far beyond what they had seen.
"Call those crazy people back later, and let them go to Huo Yinshan to have a look. Huo Yinshan has always wanted to go to Beijing. Now that he has gone in, don't let him come back."
"You mean..."
"Qi Nian took great pains to set up the game, I can't waste it. Also, if I'm not wrong, my fief is probably going to come down this time."
"Give you a fief? How dare he!" How is that different from abolishing the prince? The attendant suddenly turned pale with shock, and his eyes were filled with hatred.
The current position of the prince has been changed seriously. Regardless of how much the queen's mother's family has contributed to the peace and happiness of Da'an, and the fact that the queen lost her life trying to protect the emperor from the knife, just say that the prince has done his best for the people of Da'an these years, and the dog emperor is not qualified to say The matter of the abolished prince.
As for giving the prince a fief? Ha ha, so what is the difference with hair matching? Simply do not understand why! The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and the anger in the attendant's eyes almost materialized. I can't wait to yell at the next second.
But the crown prince shook his head indifferently: "There's nothing to be angry about, it's a good thing. Just look at the chaotic situation in Shangjing, if you fall into it, you can only wait for death. The really smart ones have already come out."
"Then what do you mean, master..."
"The four cities of Huo, Li, Xiang and Liang are good places. When Huo Yinshan falls, how about we just fall here?"
The attendant was puzzled at first, then suddenly realized, and quickly said: "The master is far-sighted, it's my subordinates who are short-sighted."
"It's okay, let's go to work. Please come to Rong County King later."
"Yes." The servant went away in response.
As for the prince who was left alone in the room, he lay back on the soft couch again, but the look on his face seemed to be in deep thought.
The prince understands that Song Yucheng's seemingly nonsense actions are just delaying time. In fact, he wanted to wait for Huo Yinshan to enter the city, so that he could clean up the Zhizhou in one fell swoop.
Rongcheng, where Song Yucheng is located, is surrounded by the sea on one side and the city on three sides.
And judging from the way Song Yucheng is currently training troops in Rongcheng, he probably wants to train the navy. That must have something to do with the rumors of Japanese pirates a few days ago.
But if he wants to go to war, he must stabilize the relationship between Rongcheng and the other three cities. Otherwise, once something goes wrong, there is no way back.
Therefore, for Song Yucheng, Huo Yinshan must be eliminated. The four cities also had to reshuffle their cards. So now, what I should do is to hold the four cities in my hands.
You have to show your own strength, or you will have to find someone else to cooperate with Song Yucheng's realistic temperament.
The prince thought about it, pondered for a while, then wrote a secret letter, called another confidant in, and asked him to find a way to send it out quietly.
If the prince's calculation is correct, Huo Yinshan must have died in Shangjing within half a month at the most. So he has to hurry up with his movements.
————————
In Gingcheng, the prefect of Gingcheng is the biggest official. As soon as the prince locked up the Zhizhou of the city, the rest of the people in the city were completely in chaos. As for Yu Jiajun's street performances, there was no one to manage them at all, and everyone just spent the day happily as if it was New Year's Eve.
After closing the stall in the evening and going back, these Yu Jiajun soldiers were still excitedly counting the copper coins in the basket, and even couldn't help but compare each other.
System: So how poor are they usually? [Puffer Shock]
Song Yucheng: It's not how poor you are usually, but the money you earn with your hands, which is especially cherished.
System: Where did the money come from in the past
Song Yucheng: Of course it was snatched!
So it was all stolen, why can you say it so confidently? Recalling the very upright and positive Song Yucheng in the previous two worlds again, the system suddenly felt very sad.
It's all its fault, it seems to have misled the host again QAQ.
Sensitively aware that Song Yucheng seemed to be overly substituting his personality again because of the emotional relationship left over from his original body, the anxiety in the system's heart became more and more aggravated.
But soon, he thought of the prince, and suddenly felt that maybe it didn't matter. Because this time is different from the past, I used to walk alone, but now I have company, the tragedy will definitely not happen again.
Otherwise, if something goes wrong...he will accompany Song Yucheng to self-destruct.
———————
Song Yucheng was not aware of the system's worries. But right now, he has other things to do. The attendants of His Highness the Prince came to invite someone, saying that the Prince was unexpectedly seriously ill and had been in a coma for the whole day, and now there is a lot of chaos there, so he wanted to invite Song Yucheng to take a look.
"Is Your Highness sick? Is it important?" Song Yucheng asked anxiously, but there was a smile in his tone. Thinking about it in his heart, the prince looks serious, but in fact he is also a man who is afraid of chaos in the world. No wonder no one from Zhizhou in the city came to find fault today. It seemed that he was tripped by the prince.
Interesting, thinking about it, Song Yucheng followed the attendant and walked towards the prince's courtyard together.
The prince's courtyard is not far from Song Yucheng's house, but it is just there after passing through two corridors.
It is said that there must be a complete set of acting. As soon as Song Yucheng entered the yard, he smelled a particularly strong smell of medicine. The servants and maids who were busy going back and forth all had their faces sinking like water, as if they were facing an enemy. As for the two old imperial doctors who accompanied the prince, they were also frowning, wishing to pull off their beards one by one.
If you just look at the surface, it really looks like the prince is terminally ill.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Wang came to serve the sick early in the morning, and he is helping to decoct medicine at the pharmacy." The attendant seemed to be introducing the situation to Song Yucheng, but actually reminded that the prefect of the city was also in the yard.
Song Yucheng immediately understood, and the "cousin" with a crying voice jumped out straight away, his steps quickened, and a gust of wind rushed into the prince's room.
It was a coincidence that Zhizhou, who was decocting medicine in the pharmacy at this time, had just brought out the processed medicinal materials when he was so frightened by Song Yucheng's voice that they all fell to the ground.
Fuck! This is how to do
The magistrate of Gucheng suddenly felt like a dog in his heart, wishing he could run out immediately to catch Song Yucheng and strangle him to death.
He has been handling this medicinal material for a day, and the two old doctors acted like they were deliberately punishing him, saying that they must select the thinnest bud from it and trim it to the same size, so that the medicinal effect can be maximized.
But it was about the prince, and he didn't dare to neglect easily. Coupled with the fact that the two old doctors were staring at him, as long as he was a little lazy, his attitude would be the same as if he wanted to kill the prince.
After finally making it almost the same, we can leave. Song Yucheng's sudden voice made everything return to zero, and he had to start all over again.
Seeing the mess all over the place, Zhizhou of Gucheng only had the urge to cry.
———————
However, the magistrate of the city was tortured so much that he wanted to hit his head to death, but in the prince's bedroom, the atmosphere between Song Yucheng and the prince was very harmonious, even extremely pleasant.
The matter of Zhizhou in the city made Song Yucheng feel the sincerity of the prince's cooperation again. Later, the two had some detailed discussions about going to Beijing, which made Song Yucheng appreciate the prince even more.
"Your Highness has such courage, and Qi Nian admires it very much." The smile on Song Yucheng's face became much more real.
However, the prince just accepted it with a smile, and changed another topic without any trace: "Qinian, you don't have to be so polite. Apart from other things, you are still my cousin."
So this is implying that he calls him brother
But this is also very normal. The ancients paid attention to the order of the elders and the younger, so it is not a problem for the prince to express his closeness in order to respect the virtuous and corporal.
Under normal circumstances, if another person did this kind of action, Song Yucheng would definitely take over and reach a further alliance. But for some reason, Song Yucheng felt a little awkward again when he met the prince's handsome and beautiful face that could not be described in words.
It even felt that the prince coaxing him to call him cousin might have other meanings.
Song Yucheng: You said I must be thinking too much! The prince is so purposeful, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't seem to be out of tune.
Song Yucheng couldn't figure it out, but the situation was special, so he could only talk to the system.
But the system's answer made him feel more subtle.
System: Isn't it really interesting? Save you have to deliberately Raiders.
"..." This has nothing to do with the strategy or not! Song Yucheng felt powerless to complain, but in the face of the prince's expectant gaze, he finally called out "cousin" awkwardly, and then felt heat in his ears, and couldn't help but stand up and leave.
However, behind him, the prince's deep laughter seemed to confirm his thoughts. The prince really did it on purpose!
"..." Song Yucheng narrowed his eyes dangerously.
It was always only when he teased others, but today he was teased by the crown prince. Song Yucheng's competitive spirit was immediately aroused, and he decided that after seeing the prince next time, he must win back.
But at this moment, the prince in the room looked at the empty room door with a satisfied smile on his face. Think of him, Song Yucheng, when he teases others, he has always been able to handle it with ease. But when he was teased, his reaction was unexpectedly simple. Even an ordinary "cousin" can make him so awkward that he runs away temporarily.
This contrast is really quite lovely.
The prince couldn't help laughing in a low voice. But then, it was interrupted by a sound from the other side of the window.
He looked up and found that it was his family, Hai Dongqing, who came back from the outside. It's that expression, no matter from which angle you look at it, it doesn't look happy. Undoubtedly, he must have been rejected again by the dazed white little Jiu at Song Yucheng's house.
"Come here!" The prince waved his hand, motioning for him to fly over, and then patted its head as a comfort.
"It's sad. Ever since I tried to curry favor with my husband, my daughter-in-law has regarded me as a class enemy who robs my master. Every time we meet, she wants to beat me. I can't see my sincerity at all. I can't live through this day." Hai Dongqing With a sad stomach, he nagged the prince endlessly.
Although the prince couldn't understand, he could roughly see what he wanted to express. Finally, after he got down depressed, he said gently: "Don't worry, you have to be patient in everything. How can you let him run away if you are sure, it's just a slow plan. It's still a long time."
What the prince said was meaningful, as if he was comforting Hai Dongqing, but also as if he was talking about himself.
But after Song Yucheng returned to his yard, the first thing he did was to call the messenger and ask about the specific situation on the other side of Huo Yinshan.
It has been a while since those crows were released, counting the days, Huo Yinshan should be able to arrive in Beijing in a few days.
"Master, don't worry. The other end of the magic fortune teller has already entered the Seventh Prince's residence. However, he is not taken seriously among the disciples. The Seventh Prince only regards him as a plaything for fun."
"That's right. Let him stabilize and don't show his feet. In addition, before Huo Yinshan enters the capital, our people should also spread the news. This time the prince will help. But no matter what, we must let him The seventh prince married Huo Yinshan's daughter."
"Okay, sir, don't worry, we're doing business!" After finishing speaking, the orderly turned around and left. But Song Yucheng was counting the days, seeing how many days were left before he could pick off the lame king's dog's head openly!
——————————
Both Song Yucheng and the prince took actions on their own, but Huo Yinshan's side was the most miserable.
It has been said before that noise can drive people crazy. Huo Yinshan still felt that this was a bit exaggerated. However, now that the facts are happening right in front of them, who would have thought that the crows that they ran into at the inn before would follow them all the way.
That's right, it's all the way, and it seems that there is no need to rest at all, almost twelve hours a day, calling.
Calling when walking, calling when eating, calling when sleeping, there is no time to rest. And the flying posture of these crows is also very strange. It always seems to be spelling a word Rui.
The author has something to say:
Huo Yinshan: How do I remember that all the auspicious people are magpies? Could it be that these crows are variants of magpies
The fortune teller in Shangjing: I watch the sky at night, and see that you will have a catastrophe~
