Jiuxi

Chapter 414 Chapter 412 [A humble gentleman]

Xiudefang is not too far from the palace, it takes about a quarter of an hour to walk.

After coming out of the palace, the third prince regained some sense, and at the same time silently told himself that as long as his life was still alive, he could not completely despair.

His future life will be extremely desolate. Being imprisoned in Qiushan Lane is no different from the women who were relegated to the cold palace. He cannot see the wind, flowers, snow, moon, spring, summer, autumn and winter outside. There is only boundless darkness and loneliness. That kind of restraint and embarrassment is enough to force him to Crazy for any ambitious person.

Despite this, the third prince told himself that he could not admit defeat, let alone his fate.

Based on this mentality, the third prince did not look at Lu Chen next to him from the moment he left Wende Hall.

The third prince felt that it was not difficult to guess what Lu Chen was thinking. It was simply that he had not avenged the sacrifices of his soldiers, so he wanted to watch the whole process of being expelled from the palace, or he wanted to ridicule him in person to vent his anger.

He didn't care about this trivial matter. Only the emperor's move of allowing Lu Chen to come made him feel cold.

To be precise, when the Emperor said the word "Zhunzou", the third prince who had fallen to the ground suddenly came to his senses. He did not struggle any more needlessly, and only let go of the remaining affection between father and son deep in his heart. Erase them all.

On the long street, the third prince and Lu Chen walked forward slowly, followed by Lu Chen's personal soldiers and the imperial guards sent by the emperor.

Lu Chen said indifferently: "I just want to see what kind of person you are up close."

To the third prince's surprise, Lu Chen remained silent from beginning to end, and there was no sarcasm as he imagined.

A surge of anger quickly rushed to the third prince's forehead. Since he was a child, when had he heard such face-to-face humiliation?
Relying on the favor of Queen Xu and the support of his descendants, as well as his deliberately arrogant and domineering attitude, the third prince has been regarded as the number one dandy in Beijing these years. Even Li Yunyi's status is respectful in front of him. The Qingke scribes around me are all good at flattering.

Lu Chen put his hands behind his back and said slowly: "A self-righteous fool."

Lu Chen looked indifferent, and then said: "You were born as the son of a prince, and within a few years you became a prince. You have achieved an extremely noble status without doing anything. Ordinary people will never see the class you are in even if they spend their entire lives. . There is a word called "moral incompetence", which is very suitable to describe you. I can't believe that you have the nerve to laugh at others just because of your good fortune. "

After an unknown amount of time, this team filled with solemn atmosphere entered Xiudefang, and then crossed two streets to reach King Jian's Mansion.

His words obviously have the meaning of breaking a jar and saying that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.

Although he was indeed prepared to frame the boss in advance, he never thought that Lu Chen could survive on Qingfeng Street. Those five assassins and dozens of dead soldiers were all the forces he had secretly developed over the years, not to mention the Yin Qianjue was such a great master who was hired at great expense.

He finally couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Marquis Shanyang is really broad-minded, and he is actually in the mood to send us all the way."

The third prince said expressionlessly: "Did you see it?"

But at this moment, Lu Chen dared to call him a fool to his face.

Lu Chen said: "It may not be very accurate, but I can probably tell."

"Good luck?"

The third prince suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a cold voice: "You are just lucky, otherwise you would have turned into a corpse long ago."

The emperor has deprived the third prince of his princely title. He is no longer one of the only three princes in Da Qi, but the lowest status person in the clan. Naturally, he is not qualified to continue to enjoy the protection of the royal guards.

The third prince hoped that Lu Chen would die, so that the second prince would lose the greatest help. Then the crime of assassinating Lu Chen would be pinned on the eldest prince, and then everything would be done.

"Nonsense...it seems that you still don't understand where you went wrong."

Those imperial guards were here to protect him on the surface, but in reality they were more monitoring and escorting him to pack his bags and head to Qiu Shan Lane to ensure that he would enter a state of confinement without being able to contact the outside world.

The third prince said contemptuously: "If you think these nonsense can make me feel anxious, I advise you to give up."

But for a prince who turned from a prince to a lieutenant of Fengguo and lost everything in half a day, he didn't go crazy on the spot because it was the result of self-hypnosis. How could he be afraid of the young martial artist next to him?

The third prince then asked: "Then what kind of person am I?"

Lu Chen shook his head, and then said coldly: "Even if you are lucky enough to succeed, and I really die on Qingfeng Street, you still have no hope of coveting the throne."

This sentence undoubtedly poked a scar in the heart of the third prince.

He didn't know when he had the idea of ​​competing for the heirloom. At first he only dared to keep this idea deep in his heart, and he didn't even dare to reveal it in front of Queen Xu.

As time passed little by little, the emperor still had no clear candidate for the crown prince, and the desires in the third prince's heart grew like wild weeds.

Once he learned about the eldest prince's shortcomings through various channels, his desire turned into sufficient motivation, so he began to consciously cultivate his cronies and tried every means to lay out ambush in advance.

The third prince suppressed the boiling thoughts in his heart and said in a cold voice: "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit."

Lu Chen gave up without seeing the good news, and said bluntly: "Taking a step back, even if you can really sit in that position, you will only become a coward, a tyrant, and a king of subjugation, and you will not even be able to compare to one ten thousandth of the current His Majesty." Go. I don’t know who gave you the confidence. I just think that you have a rich imagination. You can only play some dark tricks that are not popular, but you think that you have the ability to help the country revitalize the country, haha. enough!"

The third prince's face turned livid, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's not your turn to teach me a lesson."

As he spoke, Prince Jian's Mansion was already in sight.

Lu Chen stopped, turned around and looked at the prince who was about the same age as himself, narrowed his eyes and said, "I know you are not convinced, and now I will tell you why I think you are a self-righteous fool."

Of course the third prince didn't want to hear it, but he didn't want to show his timidity in front of this disgusting peer, so he immediately looked at him coldly.

Lu Chen stood with his hands behind his hands and spoke in a calm tone.

"Although Da Qi has a firm foothold in the south now, the enemies in the north are still watching. As the prince of the Tian family, you don't want to be friendly with a general like me who sacrifices his life for the country. Instead, you want to kill me for your own selfish reasons. , have you ever thought about how the frontier soldiers would react if I died in the capital? Once a powerful enemy attacks again, how many of them will be willing to serve the country loyally after seeing my fate? "Yan, you are disloyal."

"Your Majesty cares so much for you. He knows that you have never done anything serious in these years and have been domineering and misbehaving in the capital, but he has not abandoned you because of it. Instead, he has always taught and admonished you, hoping that you can take the right path. However, you don't care about His Majesty at all. It is difficult to act arbitrarily and almost cause the Great Qi court to fall into civil strife. This is unfilial. "

"The First and Second Highnesses treat you well, especially Your Highness. Although his character does have some flaws, he can be regarded as an eldest brother to you. However, you tried every means to frame him, and even used such despicable methods. The method is to frame him for death. I don’t ask you to be brothers and sisters, but you don’t even have the most basic conscience and bottom line. It is simply unkind and unjust, almost like a beast. "

Lu Chen slapped the third prince in the face with each sentence. Although the third prince could still maintain his calmness, it could be seen from his face that he was extremely angry.

"The most ridiculous and sad thing to me is that you actually want to sit on the same boat with the Jiangnan family. Don't you know what considerations His Majesty has done in the past two years? He is worried that the new king will not be able to suppress him in a hundred years. The Jiangnan family, so you are doing your best to weaken their power, just to make Daqi's empire more stable. You don't even understand this, and you think you can become the crown prince with the support of the Jiangnan family, how could your Majesty choose you?"

A sarcastic sneer finally appeared on Lu Chen's always indifferent face, and he said bluntly: "What qualifications do you have to covet that position?"

The third prince's breathing became heavy, his eyes gradually turned red, and he said with a ferocious smile: "I heard that six of your soldiers died? It's a good death. It's a pity that not enough died. I don't know when I will see that you care. All of them died violently, and I hope that day is not too far away.”

Lu Chen looked at him steadily, then suddenly laughed and said, "Let me tell you a story."

The third prince did not take the conversation. He knew that his words would definitely anger Lu Chen, but he was so humiliated by the other party that he really couldn't bear the bad breath.

Lu Chen said slowly: "There used to be a person who wanted to take revenge, but due to various constraints, he was unable to find the enemy, so he waited patiently for ten years and finally succeeded in killing the enemy. This story is called a gentleman's revenge. , ten years is not too late.”

The third prince naturally understood the profound meaning of this so-called story, and he couldn't help but sneered: "Are you worthy of being called a gentleman?"

Lu Chen lifted his sleeves up and said softly: "Before entering the capital this time, my father hoped that I could change my temper and become a gentle and gentle man, so that I can live in the capital. I will follow his wishes. I found that this really doesn’t work, because some people don’t understand the situation at hand if they don’t understand the power of fists.”

"After much thought, I finally changed my mind."

Before he could finish his words, the third prince saw a fist appearing in front of him.

"boom!"

Lu Chen punched the third prince in the chest, and the third prince instantly flew away and landed on the edge of the steps of the Prince's Palace.

In the distance, Lu Chen's soldiers looked at this scene solemnly.

They already know the fate of the third prince. Although they cannot make the decision for their dead brother, they understand that in today's world, Lu Chen's ability to do this for everyone is the limit.

But in front of me...

They watched solemnly, with no expressions of joy on their faces, only a surge of passionate blood in their hearts.

On the other side, Shen Yulai, the commander of the forbidden army who personally led the team, couldn't help but be frightened when he saw Lu Chen's sudden attack, because he knew how high Lu Chen's martial arts was. If this punch continued, the third prince would be seriously injured even if he didn't die.

But he only took one step and stopped because he could see that Lu Chen didn't use his inner strength. Obviously, the young prince also knew the importance.

Shen Yulai remembered the emperor's instructions just now, and couldn't help but sigh, and then whispered to the guards around him: "Don't leak a word of what you saw today to the outside world, otherwise military law will be engaged."

The imperial guards agreed one after another, looking at the once-in-a-lifetime scene in front of them. They were shocked by Shanyang Hou's courage, but also felt very happy for some reason.

Although Lu Chen's punch did not use any internal energy, his bones were too hard and the force was too strong. The third prince felt as if his internal organs were displaced.

He struggled to get up, stared at Lu Chen, and said with splitting eyes, "Lu Chen, I will kill you!"

Of course, Lu Chen knew what was appropriate. Since he had already made concessions to the emperor in the court, he would not defeat the third prince and cause all his previous efforts to be wasted.

But he also understood the meaning of the emperor's "accurate performance". The emperor obviously agreed with him to vent his anger slightly, as evidenced by the silent guards in the distance.

Lu Chen retracted his fist and said, "I'm waiting for you."
