Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 381

The second prince's eyes widened, full of disbelief, "This, this..." He raised his finger and pointed at the peregrine falcon, "This is my elder brother's Sahera, the most intelligent and quick-witted one was selected from hundreds of peregrine falcons." One, but it is wild and difficult to train, and it has been domesticated for more than two years before it dares to be put into the air without fear of flying away. What, what about it?"

Immediately, he didn't know what to think of, and looked at Qi Wang and Qi Wang concubine warily, frowning, doubting whether what they just told him was the truth.

King Qi nodded, "Yes, when it was intercepted, it was injured, and the princess took care of it, so it is very close to the princess."

The second prince snorted, but his eyes were still full of surprise.

Looking at the familiar and intimate appearance of the peregrine falcon landing on Princess Qi's shoulder, it seems that there is a relationship that has been cultivated since childhood. How does it look like a relationship that has just been intercepted and can be taken care of in a short time?Peregrine falcons are harder to tame than eagles and are more wild, but the peregrine falcon on the shoulder of the princess is not so docile as one of the overlords of the sky.

That is clearly the elder brother's Saheila, and Saheila means falcon in the Turkic language.The eldest brother cherishes this peregrine falcon very much, if the eldest brother sees his Sahela nestling on the shoulders of others so docilely, how wonderful the expression on the elder brother's face will be?

The second prince grinned, gloating in his heart.

Fang Yan is not in such a good mood as him.

"Now that I know the content of the note, it proves that Cai Xiang is not innocent in this matter, and our assumptions about misunderstanding him are also untenable." Shen Xinniang was beside Fang Yan, slowly Said.Even this peregrine falcon has been recognized as the bird of the Great Turkic Prince, so what else can we hope for?
Fang Yan gave a long sigh, "I know it's Cai Xiang, what can I do now? Take Cai Xiang? Although Cai Xiang is not a general, nor does he hold a heavy soldier, but he is a character who can't be moved easily. The whole body, called him Mr., officials who have been involved in official careers through his review, are all over the court. If he is moved, the court will be shaken. It is not yet known whether this matter was planned by Cai Xiang alone or with others. I always feel that General Xie..."

Shen Xinniang nodded slowly when she heard the words, General Xie was also very suspicious, and just because Peregrine Falcon sent a letter to Cai Xiang, she could not rule out her suspicion of General Xie.What if Cai Xiang and General Xie conspired in this matter?

"Nowadays when the frontier is fighting, if the capital is unstable, there will be internal and external troubles, and Daliang will surely fall into turmoil." Fang Yan said slowly.

Shen Xinniang naturally understood what he was talking about.The two looked up at the second prince.

The second prince frowned tightly and was on guard.

Nowadays, both internal and external disturbances cannot be stirred up at the same time, and the two-front battle is bound to be critical. It would be a good way to let the internal and external disturbances be defeated one by one.

"Didn't you plan to hand me over to those courtiers who colluded with my elder brother first?" The second prince stared and said, "You don't understand my elder brother, but I do. He will never be the same You make peace, he is cruel, easy to kill, brave and good at fighting. His favorite is to massacre Liang people. He once said that Liang people are a weak nation at all, not worthy of occupying such a vast land. He wants to make Liang people become slaves of Turkic people , to serve the Turks."

The atmosphere in the flower hall was very condensed.The second prince's mind, which had just been relaxed, was now even more tense, like strings on a piano.

Neither Fang Yan nor Shen Xinniang spoke.

It seemed that a beating heartbeat could be heard in the flower hall, but it was unknown who it was coming from.

The second prince swallowed, and continued: "But I appreciate the culture of the Liang people, their intelligence, and their diligence. I advocate a result that is beneficial to both countries. Negotiating a peace, regardless of whether it is for the Liang people, It is still a good thing for the Turks. There are not many places where you can graze in Liang State. We are born to like the vast world and the free life of growing grass. We could have lived in peace! Don’t worry about temporary stability , made the wrong choice!"

The second prince said in the end, already quite sternly.

Shen Xinniang turned her face sideways, because the peregrine falcon that landed on her shoulder kept stretching out its tiny legs, kicking her collar.He kept rubbing his little head against her, seeing that she ignored her, and even pecked at her collar with his sharp beak.

After finally attracting Shen Xinniang's attention, it stretched out her thin bird legs again.

Shen Xinniang stretched out her hand to pull it off her shoulders, and groped along its legs into the soft feathers.

Among the fine feathers, Shen Xinniang's fingers suddenly touched something hard, she lowered her head and touched it carefully, "There is a reply!"

Pulling back its soft and dense feathers, I found a very thin bamboo tube on the slender calf, which was tied tightly.Fang Yan took out the sharp black iron dagger on his body and handed it to Shen Xinniang.

Shen Xinniang took the dagger, carefully picked apart the thin thread, removed the wax seal, and took out the small note inside the bamboo tube.Slowly unfolding the note, it was still a text they could not understand.

Shen Xinniang handed it to the person who waited on the side, and that person sent it to the second Turkic prince.The second prince looked at the note with a frown, and murmured: "Don't worry, you will pay attention, if the trouble is eliminated, you can achieve great things."

Fang Yan and Shen Xinniang exchanged glances.

The second Turkic prince raised his head, his eyes were still a bit puzzled, "A big event? What big event? What is it? If the trouble is eliminated, that is, if I die in the capital, if I die in Daliang, if I go and never come back, my brother can plan for it." ..."

He muttered to himself here, suddenly his face changed drastically, he suddenly stood up from the short back, his eyes were wide open, his mouth was slightly opened, his complexion was extremely ugly.Not caring about being with King Qi, Princess Qi opened her mouth, turned around and walked towards the door.

"What does the second prince want to do?" King Qi asked behind him.

The second prince staggered impatiently. He hurried to the door and said in a low voice, "Achieving something great? I'm dead. The big thing that my brother can do...isn't it just usurping power and taking the throne? He can do this kind of thing." Come out! Is there anything he can't do for a person like him? I want to go back and tell Father Khan! Let Father Khan know his wolf ambition!"

The door of the Flower Hall of Prince Qi's Mansion was tightly closed, the second prince stretched out his hand to pull the door, but he couldn't open it.

He was already anxious, but when he saw that he seemed to be locked inside and couldn't go out, he became even more anxious and annoyed. He turned around and looked at King Qi and Princess Qi, "What do you mean?"

King Qi got up and said: "Second prince, please be safe and don't be impatient. The letter is still here. Even if the eldest prince wants to plan, he will only plan after receiving the letter. He will plan after he knows that the disaster is over. If you are not sure, no one will go if you think about it." Do."

The second prince took a deep breath, "Even so, I should go back quickly, let Father Khan know his thoughts, and take precautions against him! We must not waste time here!"

"If you tell Tumen Khan that the eldest prince intends to seek power and usurp the throne, will Khan trust you unswervingly? Don't you suspect that you are trying to frame the eldest prince, but in fact you have evil intentions, so Are you deliberately taking this opportunity to get rid of the person who threatens you the most?" Qi Wang asked slowly.

Hearing this, the second prince stopped pulling at the door immediately. He frowned slightly, thinking about King Qi's words.The anxiety in his eyes seemed to gradually cool down.If he told Father Khan that his elder brother was going to seek rebellion, would Father Khan feel that he was trying to eliminate dissidents?Deliberately framed brother?Will it?won't it?I will...

He looked up at King Qi, and after a long while, he nodded slowly, "What Prince Qi said makes sense..."

"What's more, the second prince's visit to Beijing this time must be for the sake of the friendly relations between the two countries? Now that no peace talks have been negotiated, is the second prince really willing to leave with nothing? Then such an adventure is far away. Going away, isn't it just a waste of time to return without success?" King Qi said again.

The second prince nodded weakly, he wanted to negotiate a peace, and he came to negotiate this matter in person.If you can personally promote the friendly relations between the two countries, you can't help but reduce the wars every year, and the life of the Turkic people will also be greatly improved!

"Is there anything King Qi can do? Why don't you tell me, since you and I both want to facilitate the peace negotiation, now we are friends standing in the same trench!" The second prince returned to the back of the short table and sat with his clothes up down.

King Qi nodded slowly, "Now there is a two-way solution, which can not only get rid of the foreign aggression on the Daliang border, but also help the second prince get rid of an opponent who has been thinking about your life. I wonder if the second prince is willing to cooperate?"

The second prince frowned slightly, "I also ask King Qi to make it clear."

Prince Qi curled his lips into a sneer, pointed to the note on the short table and said, "Another way of saying it."

The second prince frowned, thought deeply for a moment, and suddenly understood, "What King Qi means is, tell elder brother that I have already died in the capital, and ask him to find something?"

King Qi nodded with a smile, "Second prince has a high opinion."

The second prince shook his head immediately, "No, this is absolutely not possible! Prince Qi also said just now that no one would do anything he is not sure of. If he knows that I am dead and wants to raise troops to rebel, he must have something! Only when you are completely sure will you act! My father Khan still doesn’t know anything, so he will suffer from it? What if...if...if he makes things happen! My father Khan... "

As he spoke, he shook his head again and again. Such consequences had already scared him into a cold sweat.The elder brother is successful, but his father died in vain, so he is nothing!Neither Daliang nor Turks will have a place for him, and he absolutely cannot afford such a result.

"The second prince misunderstood. Since I said it, no one would do anything unprepared. How could I let the second prince take such risks?" King Qi shook his head.

The second prince was a little confused, so he looked up at him.

Only then did King Qi slowly explain: "What if Tumen Khan knew about the eldest prince's intentions first? What if Tumen Khan had taken precautions in advance, but the eldest prince didn't know all his schemes and calculations, and had already Khan knows everything. Under such circumstances, it is possible to usurp the throne again? He did not act rashly, but if there is a slight change, the result must be greatly beneficial to the second prince?"
