If he had a choice, Xu Tianze did not want to confront Meng Qi, because his elder brother Meng's feelings for him were the purest. He always treated him as a younger brother and there was never any other mixture.
It was when he was Xu Li's son, it was when he stirred up the world and won the favor of Emperor Gan, and it is still the case now.
But both Xu Tianze and Monk knew that their positions were different and they both had their own supporters, so sooner or later they would stand on opposing sides.
"If possible, I would rather die in your hands." Monk stared at Xu Tianze's increasingly blurred back, his voice crushed in the wind.
He is stubborn, so he will always be loyal to the emperor. Long Qingyi is now the empress, so he will be loyal to Long Qingyi until Long Qingyi is no longer the emperor.
But he is not a stone that cannot be warmed up. He remembers all the help Xu Tianze has given him, whether it is obvious or hidden, and is always grateful.
Even when his family fell into poverty at a young age and he was constantly bullied, ridiculed and mocked, Xu Tianze always treated him equally, and even spoke up for him and supported him many times, both openly and secretly.
He also vowed that he would use his life to repay Xu Tianze's kindness and would not let Xu Tianze down for his sincerity towards him.
But now, when his principles conflicted with his feelings, he suddenly didn't know how to choose to get the best of both worlds.
"What? Commander Meng has taken a fancy to him?" Long Muli's faint voice came from behind Meng Qi.
"Shouldn't His Royal Highness Prince Chang be in Jiangnan now? Now he has returned to the capital in such a sneaky way. Aren't you afraid that I will report this directly to His Majesty?" Monkie frowned and spoke in a muffled voice.
If the guards saw this, they would definitely say that this was the commander they were most familiar with, and that the rich expressions, thoughtfulness and gentleness were all fake, and were not what their wooden commander would do at all.
"The war itself cannot be fought, so it won't have much impact whether I come back or not." Long Muli waved his hand, not caring whether Monkie would report it or not.
If he was really afraid that Monkie would make a report, he would not have taken the initiative to appear in front of Monkie. Compared to these, he was more curious about what Monkie was thinking.
He had noticed these two people for a long time. To put it bluntly, he came back just for Xu Tianze, but he saw Monkie, the wooden man, talking and laughing with Xu Taize.
This was really a novelty for him. You know, he had been working with Monkie for the past three years, and he was fed up with Monkie's expressionless face.
As a result, he saw a scene that shocked him. Combined with what was played in the storybook, he could of course see that Monkie had feelings for Xu Tianze.
"Tell me quickly, are you interested in him?" There was curiosity in Long Muli's eyes and anticipation on his face.
You have to know that his second brother died not long ago, and Monkie wanted to take action so quickly. He really wanted to see the excitement.
"Your Highness, please be careful with your words. I have never had any improper thoughts. But Your Highness..." Monkie said halfway, as if he suddenly thought of something, and sighed and shook his head.
"What do you mean? Explain yourself clearly to me!" Long Muli was watching the fun and enjoying the show, but before he even got the melon, he was already furious with Monkie's attitude.
The most important thing is that Monkie didn't explain clearly, but just kept shaking his head, as if he was saying that he was not good enough. Long Muli couldn't tolerate this at all.
"Your Highness, don't you still want Ozawa to give you a way to save that woman? But Your Highness has offended Ozawa so badly, so you probably don't have a chance." Monkie said a few sarcastically, turned around and ran towards his home.
He was stupid enough to quarrel with Prince Chang in the middle of the night. He finally managed to exchange his day off with the deputy commander, and now that he had nothing to do, he naturally had to go back and have a good sleep.
Long Muli was a little overwhelmed by Monk's words. By the time he reacted, Monk had already left.
"What? It was just a show. Who really cares about the princess of the enemy country? I'm not crazy." Long Muli muttered and touched his nose.
After a while, he scratched his head awkwardly again. He couldn't say that he felt that he had offended Xu Tianze too much three years ago, right?
Originally, he came back this time to find an opportunity to apologize to Xu Tianze, because he had learned from his aunt that Xu Tianze was also one of the people arranged by his father.
So he thought since they all knew the secret and the plan, he could still apologize shamelessly, but he never found the opportunity. In the end, he was even mocked by Monkie, the wooden lump.
Finally, Long Muli looked in the direction Xu Tianze left, hesitated for a long time, and did not have the courage to chase him directly, so he had to turn around and leave dejectedly.
Xu Tianze didn't know what happened after he left. When he returned to Diezhai, he saw Xiaozhanzi who had been guarding the door of Diezhai. For a moment, Xu Tianze felt a headache.
When I was arguing with the prince before, I didn’t realize that Xiaozhanzi was still a stubborn guy. Now that he is directly entangled with him, I feel a little annoyed and helpless.
"Sir, you're back." Xiaozhanzi heard the noise and turned around to see Xu Tianze, an expression of surprise instantly appeared on his face.
This made Xu Tianze even more at a loss. At first, Xu Tianze wanted to return to his small house in Shangjing City, but he thought that Xiaozhanzi might be guarding there.
So Xu Tianze has been staying in Diezhai for the past two days. Because he goes out early in the morning and comes back late at night, he has not been discovered by Xiaozhanzi.
Now it seems that Xiaozhanzi is being stubborn and is coming straight to me.
"Come in." Xu Tianze glanced at Xiaozhanzi, and finally had no choice but to take the lead and step into Diezhai.
After going up to the second floor and waiting for the shopkeeper to make tea and leave, Xu Tianze raised his eyes to look at Xiaozhanzi: "I don't care what your master wants, and I have no interest in getting involved."
"But if he really wants to lure me into this, he should at least give me enough benefits. Otherwise, wouldn't it be ridiculous to want to get something for nothing?"
After Xu Tianze finished speaking, he gestured to Xiaozhanzi to go out. He had said everything he needed to say and clearly expressed his attitude.
Next, as long as Xiaozhanzi conveys the message, it will depend on what choice the prince will make. As for whether Emperor Gan’s subsequent plan will collapse or whether the prince will get out of control, that is not his concern.
Thinking of this, Xu Tianze became interested, and there was a hint of gloom in his eyes when he looked at the small bowl, as if he wanted to see through the small bowl to see what decision the prince would make.
