Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 986

A few days later, Emperor Xixuan received an invitation to leave from Xiao Xu.

What was written on it was that he wanted to hand over his military power and then return to Liancheng. If he went to Beijing to receive a reward, he would delay the mining of the Fuli Mountains.

Emperor Xixuan originally thought about how to get him to hand over military power willingly when he came to Beijing without being criticized by the Chinese and Chinese military officials, but he did not expect that he would take the initiative to offer military power with both hands, which surprised Emperor Xixuan Besides, I have some doubts.

What is Xiao Xu thinking about?Are you really willing to surrender military power?Or is it intentional?
At this time, Eunuch Cao stood aside and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, Your Highness has given up the opportunity to return to the capital. Maybe His Highness would rather be a wandering wild crane."

Emperor Xixuan gave Cao Zhi a cold look when he heard the words, "You seem to be talking too much today."

Eunuch Cao immediately lowered his head when he heard the sound, and didn't dare to say anything again.

In Cao Zhi's eyes, he has seen the King of Ying from birth to the present. He also knows a lot about the temperament of the King of Ying. A kind heart is rare in the court.

He hoped that this pitiful His Royal Highness could stay away from the palace, live a peaceful life, and stop being entangled in this vortex.

He believes that as long as His Majesty is willing to let His Highness have a way, he will not threaten Xixuan Jiangshan.

But if His Majesty insists on embarrassing him, I don't know what His Majesty will do with his temperament.

That's why just now, when he saw His Majesty's expression was shaken, he dared to say this.

It's just that the king's mind is unpredictable, he doesn't know what decision His Majesty will make.

In Prince Yi's mansion.

Xiao Hou pinched his fingers and just received the information, he hooked his lips, and when the smile reached his eyes, it turned into a little cold, "Father still didn't let Xiao Xu lead the army to continue fighting."

At this time, a counselor named Lin Jiangdong who was in front of Xiao Hou stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that the reason why Your Majesty is unwilling to let Xiao Xu continue to fight is because he does not want to put too much military power in his hands. After all, the general is outside, and the king's order is not acceptable, if Xiao Xu wants to support the army as king, with his reputation among the people and prestige among the three armies, it is not impossible."

Xiao Hou chuckled softly, "My father wants to be beaten and let him go. It's really funny."

"After all, there is no one who can compete with Prince Nancang, except Xiao Xu." Lin Jiangdong shook his head and said.

"I don't know when my royal father will take advantage of it again and again. When will my brother, the emperor, be unable to bear it and rise up to resist? If there is a day, then this hall can sit on the sidelines and reap the benefits of the fisherman. "Xiao Hou leaned on his chin, looking expectantly.

Lin Jiangdong thought for a while, and a light flashed in his eyes, "My lord, I don't know the year of the monkey and the month of the monkey, why don't we take the initiative to push? Anyway, we will get there sooner or later, why don't we let it come earlier?"

"What does Mr. Lin mean?" Xiao Hou became interested when he heard the words, and looked fixedly at the person in front of him.

Lin Jiangdong said, "Today, I heard that Your Majesty has received a letter from the King of England. The King of England proposed to return directly to Liancheng without entering Beijing."

"Is there such a thing?" Xiao Hou raised his eyebrows.

Lin Jiangdong nodded, "Yes, this is news from the palace, but His Majesty has not given a definite answer yet."

Xiao Hou raised his hand and stroked his chin, feeling a bit interested.

"Your Highness, if His Majesty allows King Ying to return to Liancheng, then the thorn in our eye will always exist, so I want to use this opportunity to get rid of the thorn in advance." Lin Jiangdong said.

"What's your opinion, Mister?" Xiao Hou looked at him.

Lin Jiangdong smiled softly, "Since the King of England doesn't want to enter the capital, let's let him enter the capital, and we can also take this opportunity to increase His Majesty's precautions against the King of England."

"Before we had a brief cooperation with Prince Nancang. Although he didn't know our identities, we can still cooperate with him this time. With his hands, we can plant seeds of doubt in His Majesty's heart. When the seeds germinate, We can watch His Majesty personally deal with the King of England, if two tigers fight, one will be injured."

As soon as Lin Jiangdong's words came out, Xiao Hou quickly understood. He nodded with a smile and praised, "You are indeed a counselor carefully selected by the palace. You really live up to your reputation as the most intelligent person around the city."

Lin Jiangdong said modestly, "Your Highness is extremely wise. I'm in front of you. It's just a show of shame in front of Guan Gong."

Xiao Hou raised his hand, "There is no need to be modest." His words paused, and he continued, "The hall will write a letter later, and someone will give it to Prince Nancang. I think he should also hope to see me like this. Brother, you are not satisfied!"

Lin Jiangdong bowed his head, "Your Highness is right. Presumably Prince Nancang hates King Ying to the bone."

"Okay, then do it like this!" Xiao Hou lifted the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a icy smile.

At this time, the peace negotiation between the two countries has been decided, and the Nancang army is relieved.

At this time, in the temporary tent in the forest, Pang Huang was receiving treatment from a military doctor, his expression slightly painful, and the insertion of silver needles brought waves of pain and trembling.

He has been studying martial arts for so many years, and he has never been injured so seriously. When he thinks about this, when he thinks about losing the battle, he hates Xiao Xu even more.

If it wasn't for Xiao Xu, he wouldn't be in such a mess, like a dog in water, everyone shouted and beat him!

In Pang Huang's depression, Lei Luo walked in quickly.

"His Royal Highness, there is a secret letter from someone who was behind the Xixuan army's secret line before."

Hearing this, Pang Huang opened his eyes, and took the letter after the military doctor took off all the silver needles.

He frowned and opened it, only to see a paragraph written on it.

It probably meant that if he wanted Xiao Xu to have a bad time, he would pretend to harass the people in the city and provoke him to send troops. When the time comes, the higher-ups will blame him, and he will be charged with disobedience and disobedience. Being wary, Xiao Xu will have no place to gain a foothold in the capital in the future.

After reading the letter, Pang Huang chuckled, "This person seems to hate Xiao Xu so much that he even came up with such a scheme. However, using the prince as a gunman, do you really think that the prince is made of mud? "

"Then what does His Highness mean?" Lei Luo also read the letter, feeling that this person is also bold, to use his prince so blatantly.

Pang Huang pondered for a moment, and then said, "If you want to cooperate, you can, but the prince has conditions. You must be sincere before cooperating. Tell the prince who he is, and then the prince will decide how to cooperate."

When Xiao Hou received the news, he curled his lips into a smile, "Okay, the cooperation master is here to come."

Afterwards, in the back and forth, no one knew what conditions were written in the letter.

But Xiao Hou and Pang Huang have formed an alliance in private.
