Lu Baichuan was very calm and calm, and said: "The two brothers are not very capable and can't help if something happens, so I made the decision and replaced them."

"Can't help," said quite meaningfully.

Looking at his serious look, He Jiuniang could think of his ferocious heart when he knew that Hou Dahou Er was bribed by her.

She took the initiative to hold his hand and said: "Okay, okay, I didn't mean to hide anything from you, I just felt there was no need to tell you and make you worry. After all, I can solve it." ."

Of course Lu Baichuan knew this, but he just felt uncomfortable in his heart. He couldn't let his wife bear everything by herself. What else would he do to her?

"What happened to those assassins?"

He went to ask the guard and found that the guard didn't ask anything.

To be precise, the wife didn’t let them interrogate her. She just dragged her away and beat her a few times, but she didn’t ask any questions.

Therefore, he did not go to trial without permission. He first asked his wife what she thought.

"Don't panic, the other party is definitely still holding back his ultimate move, and you will know when the time comes."

"He Jiuniang is mysterious and does not intend to say it now.

"You mean the crown prince's coronation ceremony?"

"Yes, you will know when the time comes."

He Jiuniang blinked and said He looked like he had a sure chance of victory.

In just that moment, Lu Baichuan suddenly understood, everything was unspeakable.

“Isn’t this gift too expensive for you?”

He was referring to the enthronement gift given to the prince.

"It's okay, who asked me to be generous!"

The couple was playing riddles. If there were others, they would definitely not know what they were talking about.

Over at Nantai Posthouse, the envoy Shiziye sent was not as anxious as Dongting Xiteng, as if this matter had nothing to do with him at all.

"Your Majesty, why are you not worried at all? Aren't you afraid that Dongting and Xiteng will join forces to harm us?"

Some people began to worry, after all, not everyone has it. This calmness.

"What are you afraid of? It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that can't be avoided."

Prince Nantai looked calm and relaxed, feeding himself very leisurely The fish he raised seemed like he was here to play in Beiyan, and anything else had nothing to do with him.

"Huh?"

The envoy was stunned, this prince is crazy.Bar?

When I took the initiative to invite Ying to come, I promised so much, but after I came, I was a salty fish every day. I felt that the prince of Nantai was dead and the old emperor was unable to do what he wanted, so he started to be perfunctory like this. Right?

The envoys were very angry, but the other party was the crown prince. The royal family had few heirs, and the most capable crown prince was assassinated. As the old emperor’s nephew, the crown prince might be selected to adopt him. Emperor, thus taking that position.

Therefore, they dare not offend easily.

When Crown Prince Nantai saw them like this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "First of all, it is impossible for Dongting and Xiteng to cooperate. Secondly, we have done nothing. We are not afraid of slanting shadows. What's there to be afraid of? Let's all go back, I'm going to take a lunch break."

He threw all the fish food in his hand into the fish tank, then waved his hand to chase people away.

The envoys became more and more dissatisfied, but they still didn't say anything. They just left and started to complain. They felt that the prince was really unreliable. Can they fulfill their promise to the old emperor of Nantai in this way?

Prince Nantai just curled his lips and said nothing.

These old guys didn’t know that he secretly met someone who invited him to cooperate, but he refused, but they also knew that the person the other party wanted to deal with was not him.

As long as he doesn’t stand up and make trouble, the other party won’t be in trouble.

After all, Prince Nantai had just died, and there was still chaos internally. The national power was instantly weakened, and it did not pose any threat to them.

That’s why he can be so calm.

While others were messing around, he was going to do his own thing.

After everyone left, Prince Nantai went out quietly.

However, he did not go to any suspicious place, but walked around the streets. Looking at the bustling streets of Beiyan Capital, he couldn't help feeling a little envious.

In the past, Nantai was like this, and they even had the ability to send troops to Beiyan to gain some benefits for themselves.

But since the prince and the most powerful King of Liang were killed, the major forces began to fight overtly and covertly, all trying to compete for that position. Now their strength has been greatly reduced, and they have become the weakest of the four countries. Looking at this bustling street, I can only feel envious.

But he didn’t come out just to envy others. After walking around for a few times, he went to the teahouse.

This teahouse has a special feature. Only older gentlemen from aristocratic families like to come here because it not only serves good tea, but also has people singing ditties. The most important thing is that you can play chess here. , discuss chess skills together.

Many gentlemen from noble families like to play chess and pass the time.As long as Prince Nantai came here because he had inquired about it, Old Man Lu also came here often recently.

Mr. Lu was born in a poor family and wanted to learn something so as not to embarrass his son, so he liked to come to this teahouse to learn chess skills from others.

There are many people here who look down on Old Man Lu’s background. They feel that they are of noble birth, have been officials themselves, or have many people in their families who are officials, so they look down upon the Lu family’s military general background even more. Wufu, even if Old Man Lu takes the initiative to ask for advice, people are unwilling to pay attention.

Of course, some people saw that the Lu family grew up so quickly. Lu Baichuan was a confidant of the emperor and the prince, and his children performed particularly well in the Imperial College, so they also liked to hang out with him, going back and forth. I also made a few old brothers.

Prince Nantai looked around and didn’t see Old Man Lu today. I heard that when Lu Baichuan went to court in the morning, he presented a confession, saying that it was written by Old Man Lu. At the banquet yesterday, I offended the old emperor, so I specifically apologized.

I think Old Man Lu is feeling upset right now, so it’s understandable that he’s not in the mood to go out to play today.

Prince Nantai found a seat and sat down, and let the waiter serve refreshments. Then he went to the nearby chess place to join in the fun and learned a lot of tricks.

It was rare for the noble man to see a young man in a place like this, and he even pulled him to play several times, winning two out of three games. Everyone was very optimistic about this young man and praised him again and again.

Later in the evening, when he was about to go back, he suddenly saw Old Man Lu coming. He didn't take the initiative to say hello, but just agreed to someone else's request for another fight.

“Brother Lu! Come on, come on!”

Someone saw Old Man Lu and greeted him very warmly.

Mr. Lu felt guilty all night last night and didn't sleep well. He was depressed at home for a while today. If his third wife hadn't been asking him to come out to relax, he wouldn't have been willing to go out.

When he heard someone calling him, although he was not in the mood, he still came over to watch the game to save face.

"This young man is really good. He just played three games with us old guys and won two of them! This game has just started, and we don’t know what is going on yet."

Mr. Gui next to him stroked his beard and praised him. He was the only one who won. He felt very accomplished, but he also knew in his heart that it was not easy to win against him, so he praised him even more sincerely.
