Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 1247 Killing three birds with one stone
At this time, Xiao Hou and Pang Huang sat opposite each other.

The green tea in front of him curled up with light smoke, enveloping the eyes of the two of them.

Pang Huang leaned on the back of the chair, crossed his arms with both hands, restrained his arrogance, and said leisurely, "Yi Wang, why are you so anxious?"

Xiao Hou took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and then slowly opened his mouth, "In the past two days, my father discovered my king's people, and now my father is sending people to investigate. Although nothing has been found yet, but in my heart I am still a little worried. In addition, a few days ago, I entered the palace of the King of England for something, which aroused the suspicion of my father, thinking that this king and Xiao Xu were involved. I'm worried, but the two things come together, and I'm really afraid of being found out."

Pang Huang nodded, with a smile on his lips, "Often this kind of thing is just a one-shot that affects the whole body. You have been holding back for so many years, just for this year. If you are discovered, wouldn't it be a waste of success?"

"That's right, that's exactly what this king is worried about." Xiao Hou played with the teacup in his hand with a calm expression, "How can this king's network of contacts and troops that he has painstakingly cultivated for so many years be destroyed by such a small mistake? ?”

Pang Huang raised his eyebrows slightly, "Although I said so, why can't the prince see Yi Wang's anxiety? Could it be that you already have a countermeasure?"

Xiao Hou smiled softly, met Pang Huang's searching gaze, and said in a clear voice, "Of course, if you don't have a countermeasure, how dare you bother His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Seeing that he was relaxed, Pang Huang couldn't help muttering in his heart, this current incident is definitely not trivial, but Xiao Hou in front of him didn't feel nervous at all, on the contrary, he acted like a normal person, which made him have no sense of Xixuan. The prince felt a little fear in his heart. If this person is a friend, it is fine, but if he becomes an opponent, he will be very troublesome. I am afraid that he is not under Xiao Xu.

But also because of this, he was looking forward to the rivalry scene between Xiao Xu and Xiao Hou. Once such two incompatible people fight, it will be more exciting than any other scene.

"Then I would like to ask King Yi to enlighten me, the prince will listen attentively."

Xiao Hou nodded, then raised the corners of his lips and said slowly, "Father is investigating the relationship between me and Xiao Xu, just to suspect whether the two of us conspired together. This is what he is most worried about. As long as we give him Make a scene to prove that Xiao Xu and I have nothing to do with each other, and that it will not hinder his idea of ​​wanting Xiao Ran to inherit the Great Reign, then my crisis will be resolved."

"Also, this scene needs to attract widespread attention, and take this opportunity to divert father's attention from the exposure of the weapons under me. Then I took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, find out the single craftsman and deal with it, so as to avoid future troubles, and then I took the opportunity to dispose of these weapons. Put the blame on Xiao Xu, and let him be speechless."

After listening to Xiao Hou's words, Pang Huang couldn't help being very interested. He leaned forward slightly and asked curiously, "You have said so much, but you haven't revealed the secret yet. How do you want me to help you with this scene?" play?"

Xiao Hou curled his lips into a smile, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.

"It's very simple. I want to arrange an assassination. The target of the assassination is myself, and the person to be assassinated is the Valiant Knight."

"Heroic Cavalry? Isn't that the elite in Xiao Xu's hands? Don't you mean—" Pang Huang's eyes lit up, "You want people to pretend to be them?"

Xiao Hou nodded, "That's right. Over the years, my people have fought against Xiao Lieqi in Xiao Xu's hands countless times, and I know a lot about them. We can start from this point."

Having said that, Xiao Hou raised his eyes to look at Pang Huang, "However, although they know the heroic cavalry very well, but at this time I am on the cusp of the storm, and it is too risky to send my own people, and it is easy to reveal the truth, so I want to ask His Royal Highness Here are some people lent out to play the heroic knights, and my people will be responsible for teaching some of their habits and moves, I wonder what your highness would like?"

"We are allies. Your business is mine. If you have anything to say, just tell me how many people you need, and I will arrange it for you." Pang Huang readily agreed.

Xiao Hou smiled and cupped his hands, "Then I would like to thank Your Highness the Crown Prince.

"Yi Wang is polite," Pang Huang raised his hand to block it, then he seemed to think of something again, raised his eyebrows and looked at the smiling fox in front of him, "Didn't you say that Xiao Xu planned to leave the capital before, you give him this, then He can't leave even if he wants to, and he has already handed in the soldier talisman, so it can be said that he has no bargaining chips, and he doesn't even have the ability to challenge your father, you are simply pushing him into a pit of fire."

Xiao Hou chuckled lightly, with a rather disapproving tone, "Isn't this the result we want? Five years ago, I was able to blame him for assassinating Xiao Ran once, and my father transferred him far away, and almost died on the road. Being able to repeat the old tricks and blame her will make him speechless."

"Nowadays, the calls for establishing a crown prince are getting louder and louder. The parties that support Xiao Xu and the parties that support Xiao Ran are fighting against each other, but the people are more inclined to Xiao Xu, but Xiao Xu is not the candidate in Father's heart. Leaving, although it relieved my father's urgent need, no matter where Xiao Xu went, it was a thorn in my father's throat, and I couldn't swallow it. Now I am just giving him a reason to get rid of Xiao Xu. , I am still a very filial son, and I took the initiative to share his worries for him."

Pang Huang laughed loudly, "Filial piety? Haha, I have to say that your idea is really bad. Not only did you get rid of your suspicion, but you transferred the trouble to Xiao Xu, and you also framed him to mutilate your siblings, and then gave it to your father." A reason to get rid of him! King Yi, don't be your opponent, otherwise you won't even know how to die in the future."

"Your Highness, the crown prince, is serious. I just gave them back the scheme they plotted against my grandfather's family back then. In Buddhism, there is a saying that the cause you sow, you have to taste the fruit yourself in the end."

Xiao Hou showed a cold smile.

Although I don't know what happened at Xiao Hou's mother and concubine's house, but from Xiao Hou's words, it can be seen that some secrets in the palace are involved, but he has seen this kind of thing a lot in Nancang.

Pang Huang asked, "Since you hate Xiao Xu so much, is this ending too cheap for him?"

Xiao Hou smiled softly, turned his head to look at Pang Huang, and there was an unpredictable smile in his eyes, which was a bit pervasive, "I don't hate Xiao Xu, but I want to achieve my goal through Xiao Xu, so that those who stand behind him People, taste what it means to fall short of success and despair. I want to pay them back bit by bit for the hardships my mother suffered back then!"

The look in his eyes made Pang Huang a little stunned. It turned out that there was such a vicious heart hidden in this gentle prince, which made him, who had been immersed in the vortex of power for many years, feel a little scary.
