The prince is five and a half years old, and he is reclaiming land and becoming a group favorite.

King Chu didn't know yet that they had discovered his secret, so King Chu was waiting for time while they were in a hurry.

The Duke of Qi wanted to bring the tiger talisman to mobilize the Lingnan garrison. Before the King of Chu could react, he had to take action first, and the opportunity to do so had to be found from Qi Chengjun.

The Duke of Qi glanced at his eldest son with pity, then patted him on the shoulder: "Although the King of Chu dare not touch you openly, assassination in secret is definitely inevitable. You still have to be careful."

The reason why he incited the people of Huizhou to participate in this incident was to let the people of Huizhou know that Qi Chengjun's life was now threatened.

He didn't ask these people to face the murderous killer, he just wanted these people to pay more attention to Qi Chengjun.

As long as this is the case, the people of King Chu will not be able to take action easily.

He just wants to build Huizhou into a copper and iron wall.

Qi Chengjun obviously also understood the arrangements that Duke Qi Guo had made today. He turned around and knelt down, kowtowing solemnly to Duke Qi: "My child is stupid. Only now can I realize my father's intentions."

Duke Qi laughed and patted Qi Chengjun's shoulder, signaling him to get up.

Qi Chengjun continued: "The King of Chu has been assassinating me for some time. He has not succeeded because he did not expect that the emperor would leave me a secret guard."

But he himself didn't expect that the King of Chu would also cultivate secret guards.

Qi Chengjun informed everything about King Chu's secret guards and whispered: "Father, I have made it clear to the emperor that King Chu's last trump card has been revealed."

The two sides have been fighting for so long. From the time His Highness King Wen went to Mobei, it seemed that all the luck of God was on the side of the Emperor.

He finally understood now why the emperor believed the monk's words.

Now that King Chu's trump cards have been revealed, he will naturally begin to gradually reveal his claws.

Duke Guo of Qi whispered: "I heard news from the king about Mr. Huo's prediction. If the people of the King of Chu convince the Beidi people, then Beidi will most likely go south in early winter or early spring next year."

It is already May, less than half a year away from the beginning of winter.

No wonder the emperor asked his father to go to Lingnan.

"Father……"

Qi Chengjun sat up straight and whispered: "Your Majesty is asking you to mobilize troops to Lingnan now. Do you want to eliminate internal troubles first?"

He originally thought that the mobilization of the Lingnan garrison was more to prevent the Jiangnan Navy, but now that his father mentioned the time of early winter, it meant that the emperor's plan was to take the initiative.

No matter what the King of Chu's calculations are, as long as the King of Chu's power is wiped out and the King of Chu himself is captured and brought to justice, his calculations will naturally come to nothing.

Duke Qi did not speak, but his eyes were meaningful. Qi Chengjun let out a long breath: "Then who is responsible for the defense of Beijing now?"

Once the war started, the King of Chu would never let the capital be peaceful.

For the defense of Beijing, one is Shenwei Camp, which is mainly responsible for the safety of the palace, the emperor and the empresses in the harem, and the city patrol troops and horses division.

Duke Guo of Qi is the commander-in-chief of the City Patrol Troops and Horses Division. Although his official position is not high, he holds real military power in his hands.

At that time, even though he was selected as the crown prince's companion early and the Duke of Qi was "forced" to side with the crown prince, the King of Chu did not forget to send people to lobby, hoping that his father would abandon the crown prince and join his service. The position of the City Patrol Troops and Horses Division can be said to be the first line of defense to guard the capital. This is a very important position, but the emperor transferred his father away at this time, which is really a bit daring.

"You are stupid." Qi Guogong rolled his eyes at Qi Chengjun angrily, and said with wide eyes, "How can I leave the capital in a big way? I am leaving the capital in a big way to tell the King of Chu that the emperor has sent me to deal with you, so hurry up Ready to resist?”

Qi Chengjun...

He laughed and shook his head, his voice a bit flattering: "My child realizes his mistake. I hope my father will forgive my child's stupidity and ask my father to teach me."

Only then did Duke Qi snort with satisfaction.

With both children away, Qi Guogong's life was also very lonely.

The most important thing is that he has to face the crying of the women at home all day long, making Qi Guogong's life feel like years.

Of course, if you get the chance, you should run out immediately.

He whispered: "Some time ago, there was a thief in the capital. When the crime was committed, I happened to be leading the patrol of the army. I fought with the thief and was seriously injured. The current Qi Guogong is still recovering at home."

"I'm just recovering from my injuries. How can I neglect others with this important defense task in Beijing?"

When news is sent to the palace, it is finally entered into the palace and decided by the emperor.

Qi Chengjun could not breathe a sigh of relief when he learned that the affairs in the capital were well arranged. He thought that when his father returned from Lingnan, he was afraid that chaos would break out in the Jiangnan area, and his heart suddenly started to rise again.

The Duke of Qi could only use the excuse of recovering from his injuries to escape from the capital. Otherwise, even if King Chu's influence in the capital was almost eliminated, as long as there were still one or two people left, the emperor's plan would come to nothing.

Qi Chengjun wanted to understand the reason and couldn't help but nodded secretly.

If you want to mobilize the Lingnan garrison, this is indeed a good way.

As for why he was looking for Duke Qi instead of someone who didn't attract attention, one was naturally because of Duke Qi's ability to lead troops in battle, and the second was the origin of Duke Qi and the Lingnan Army.

The Duke of Qi was originally from Lingnan.

His mind was spinning rapidly, and something suddenly occurred to him: "Father, in Jiangzhou, have you heard about the real cause of death of King Chu's long history?"

He lightly tapped the table with his index finger: "I always feel that the King of Chu framed Ling Changshi's death on me, not just because he wanted to take me down openly, but also had another meaning, to cover up Ling Changshi's death. The real cause of death.”

When Qi Guogong arrived in Jiangzhou, Ling Changshi was not only dead, but even his body was buried.

He said: "I did some research and found out that the Prince of Chu's palace and the staff of the Prince of Chu were all silent about Ling Changshi's death. Ling Changshi's family had trouble with the Prince of Chu several times, but in the end the matter was settled."

Qi Chengjun said: "It will definitely not be settled, otherwise the King of Chu would not suddenly put this name on me after such a long time. There must be a deeper involvement between the King of Chu and the Ling family."

Prince Changshi passed away, and the King of Chu gave a reasonable reason. What qualifications did Ling Changshi's family have to make trouble?
We had troubles a few times!
This shows that the Ling family must have something to do with King Chu, so they are so confident, and King Chu will do everything possible to push themselves out as the scapegoat!
The water in Jiangnan is so deep that he has been here for more than a year, but he still can't figure out how many fish and shrimps there are.

The father and son talked for almost the whole night. When it was just dawn, Qi Guogong took Qi Chengjun's letter and left the city from the west gate of Huizhou, speeding all the way towards Lingnan...
