Chapter 142 Jin丨Exclusively published by Jiang Wenxue (10,000 favorites plus more)

Fang Yingkan has never seen a person like Yuan Feishuang in his life.

Yuan Feishuang seems to be acting coquettishly. What is the difference between what he said and directly flipping the table?

Fang Yingkan did not refute immediately, but looked at Xue Chen in disbelief, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Yuan Feishuang: "I heard that Fang Yingkan also betrayed the bank and worked for the Jin people in secret. Not only that, he even sent someone to assassinate you. People like this who are two-faced are the most annoying, just like your brother."

Xue Chen: [See, I'm not a brother control.]

System: [……]

Fang Yingkan heard Yuan Feishuang bring up the old matter again, and silently thought about how to respond. When he heard the last sentence, he was puzzled and relieved at the same time.

Yuan Feishuang may not have bad intentions. He is Cai Jing's man. Cai Jing has received so many benefits from him and has always been close to the Kingdom of Jin. How could he embarrass himself because of those things?

Maybe there are other deep meanings in Yuan Feishuang's words, but he has been under house arrest and may have missed some important information, so he did not understand the meaning of Yuan Feishuang's words.

Xue Chen smiled and said nothing.

Fang Yingkan: "I don't have any other intentions. It's just that when I was invited by the eldest master, I didn't hear the eldest master mention it. Young Master Yuan is also here."

Xue Chen said humbly: "I did something wrong in this matter..."

Yuan Feishuang interrupted: "It was my idea. I know what you did privately, so I asked Xue Chen to do this, just to see what kind of character you have."

He had a gentle expression, a unique voice, and a steady pace of speech. He looked very gentle.

Fang Yingkan said tentatively: "I just said something wrong. I was just a little confused. I didn't mean to say anything bad about Mr. Yuan. I'm using tea instead of wine to apologize to Mr. Yuan."

He picked up the teacup and drank it all.

Xue Chen: [Xiaofen's face is really good. You can attack whoever you want, and you won't make enemies.]

System: [Why do I feel that Fang Yingkan's reaction is not right?]

Xue Chen: [Do you still want him to continue to pretend to be innocent and compete for favor with Xiaofen? Let's not talk about the fact that I was wrong in the first place. Fang Yingkan is on good terms with me only because his own situation is unstable and he is in a temporary weak position. It doesn't mean that he has no chance to turn things around. After all, he is also a marquis and the second in command of Youqiao Group. It is impossible for him to be humble. 】

System: [So complicated...]

Xue Chen: [Do you know what politics is?]

System: [Those things in the court? Governing policies, factional struggles and so on.]

Xue Chen: [The way people get along with each other is called politics.]

System: [I don't understand.]

Xue Chen: [You can always see the fight between me and my brother, right?]

System: [I think I understand a little bit...]

Yuan Feishuang glanced at Fang Ying, did not pick up the teacup, and did not say that he forgave him.

Xue Chen said apologetically: "I thought that the young marquis could get along well with Feishuang, but I didn't expect such a mistake."

Fang Ying had a good relationship with Cai Jing, and Yuan Feishuang was a member of Cai's party. According to common sense, these two people should get along well.

System: [Why do you say that? 】

Xue Chen: 【How can the main body actively lie? The character will collapse! So the blame must be passed to Xiaofen. He was originally from the evil camp, so it doesn’t matter how bad his reputation is. 】

System: 【What did you lie to him about? 】

Xue Chen: 【I tricked him here. 】

System: 【……】

Fang Yingkan: "To be honest, I stayed at home for a long time. I could only go out these few days and didn’t hang out with anyone. As soon as I came out, I thought about apologizing to the eldest master. I was too anxious just now and didn’t understand the situation clearly."

The system was very disappointed: 【What a scapegoat! 】

There were a few knocks on the door of the private room, and Yuan Feishuang said softly: "Is it time to serve the dishes? Just bring them in."

The waiter came in with a tray and placed the exquisite dishes on the table.

After a while, a few more dishes were served. When the hot dishes were almost served, the door was closed again.

Xue Chen looked at the table reservedly: [They all look delicious. I really want to hold the elbow and chew it. It must be very comfortable. 】

The system instigated: [Chew! Fang Yingkan didn't dare to say anything. 】

Xue Chen: [Wuwuwuwuwu No, I can't do it. 】

Yuan Feishuang picked up the serving chopsticks, divided the stewed elbow into small pieces, picked up a piece and put it on Xue Chen's plate.

Xue Chen: "Thank you."

He ate slowly, savoring it carefully.

Yuan Feishuang gave him a piece of fried fish with sauce, a few slices of roast duck with crispy skin, and a big spoonful of lychee shrimp balls.

Fang Yingkan was about to say something but stopped.

Yuan Feishuang glanced at him and said softly, "Just say it."

Fang Yingkan: "The eldest son has always been in poor health. I heard that the diet in Prince Taiping's mansion is light. Occasionally, they eat meaty food, which is supplemented with precious medicinal materials..."

Yuan Feishuang: "Then you should eat more. This is something you can't eat at home."

Fang Yingkan was very scared. He was really worried that Xue Chen was not feeling well after eating, and Prince Taiping and the prince would come to trouble him.

Everything was done by Yuan Feishuang, and it had nothing to do with him!

Xue Chen's appetite was only slightly better than Liu Yixuan's. After tasting each dish, he was almost full. He took the hot tea and drank it slowly.

The waiter came in and brought the hot soup and then left.

Yuan Feishuang served the subject a bowl of soup, picked up the dishes on the plate that the subject had not touched and put them in his own bowl, helping him to deal with the leftovers.

The two of them did not say a word during the whole process, and their tacit understanding was beyond words.

Fang Ying looked at their interaction in surprise, thinking about their relationship in his heart. The

eldest son called Yuan Feishuang "Feishhuang", and Yuan Feishuang called him "Xue Chen" without any courtesy.

When did they know each other?

King Taiping has always advocated war and hated the Jin people to the extreme, and even Cai Jing's faction, which was close to the Jin Kingdom, was not welcomed. Yuan Feishuang was brought into the palace by Cai Jing yesterday. She must be Cai Jing's confidant.

The eldest son and Yuan Feishuang are close, could it be...

Fang Yingkan remembered that when he requested an alliance, the prince had not agreed, and it was only after the eldest son spoke that the alliance became negotiable.

Could it be that the eldest son and the King of Taiping are not of the same mind?

Xue Chen drank a sip of soup and looked at Fang Yingkan through the hot steam.

Fang Yingkan didn't eat much the whole time, and his expression was inexplicable, obviously thinking about the changes in the situation.

Xue Chen said softly: "Does the young marquis' promise to me still count?" Fang Yingkan

came back to his senses: "Of course it counts."

Xue Chen: "That's good."

Fang Yingkan glanced at Yuan Feishuang with concern, and signaled to Xue Chen with his eyes whether he could discuss these in front of Yuan Feishuang.

Xue Chen smiled: "Feishhuang is my friend, absolutely trustworthy, please tell me what you want to say, don't worry about him."

Fang Yingkan: "It's not difficult to do what the eldest master asked, it just takes a little more time."

Xue Chen pondered for a moment: "I will send someone to help you. After all, this is my job, it's not right to leave it all to you. But I'm not like Lian'er, who has already established my own team. I don't have anyone to use, so I can only rely on the young marquis's connections."

Fang Yingkan: "The eldest master is polite."

He felt Xue Chen's sincerity.

Finding Taihu stone is just an excuse. Xue Chen intends to establish contact with him, and it is an open and aboveboard contact. By then everyone knows that Xue Chen and Fang Yingkan are very close.

Fang Yingkan: "I am naturally overjoyed that the eldest son is willing to acknowledge me as his friend, but the Prince of Taiping seems to have a prejudice against me."

Xue Chen: "Young Marquis, you worry too much."

Fang Yingkan still had doubts.

He made friends with Xue Chen because of Xue Chen's background. Without the Prince of Taiping's Mansion, Xue Chen is just an ordinary person. Who will give him face?

Xue Chen saw his hesitation and explained: "My father is a very open-minded person. He rarely interferes in the affairs of the younger generation. I have the final say on who I associate with."

Fang Yingkan: "The prince is very righteous."

After dinner, Yuan Feishuang left first, and Xue Chen and Fang Yingkan chatted for a few more words before coming down from the stairs.

The guard took the white cloak and put it on Xue Chen.

The carriage of Prince Taiping's mansion stopped in front of the restaurant, and behind it was Fang Yingkan's sedan chair.

Fang Yingkan: "Next time there is a chance, I will treat you to a meal in return, and please don't refuse it, young master."

Xue Chen's face was pale, and he smiled gently: "Okay."

Fang Yingkan suspected that he had a very painful meal, so he didn't dare to greet him for too long, and said goodbye to him.

Xue Chen entered the carriage, closed his eyes, and secretly thought for a while.

System: [Who do you plan to send to follow Fang Yingkan?]

Xue Chen: [There is no one to use, so we can only let Da Mian go, and maybe he can take Lu Xiaofeng with him. Do you think I should pay Lu Xiaofeng some salary? This way he won't run away suddenly.]

System: [Poor Lu Xiaofeng, he has been working for your family all the time. 】

First, he worked for King Taiping, then for Gong Jiu, and now he has to work for Xue Chen.

Xue Chen: [He got the money! Isn’t the money my father and my brother gave him enough? Especially my brother, I feel so distressed when I think about it, forget it, I won’t pay him. 】

System: [……]

After returning home, Xue Chen took a nap for a while. When he woke up, he still felt a little tired, so he asked Xiao He to bring some pills made by Xie Heng.

The ingredients Xie Heng used to make the meatballs were hawthorn and black plum, as well as some other medicinal materials. They were appetizing, strengthening the spleen and aiding digestion. The effect was very good. After Xue Chen ate it, he could eat a few more mouthfuls of rice.

He swallowed the pills with water. Gong Jiu came in from outside and stood at the door from a distance, with a cold face and said nothing.

Xiao He: "How can the food outside be as good as the food at home? The young master is always picky about food at home, but he is not picky when he goes out. He just wronged himself."

Xue Chen: [How can he not be picky about food if he eats like this at home!]

System: [If you say now that you don't like to eat the food at home, will she suspect that you are not the original owner?]

Xue Chen: [Do you still remember when I just took off my vest? My brother has already tried it.]

System: [I remember this! I still don't understand where you showed your flaws.]

Xue Chen: [Because I have been lying down and not seeing anyone. And it violated the original owner's habits. You should have seen that the original owner is like me, very active in eating. If the food at home is not so bad, it is still delicious. 】

Xiao He saw that he looked depressed, and asked with concern: "Young Master?"

Xue Chen smiled: "How could I be picky about food at home? Don't talk nonsense. If you have nothing to do, take a few taels of silver and go out for a walk. Don't criticize me here."

Xiao He: "You talk as if I want to criticize you. I'm busy and don't have the time to wander around."

After that, she retreated.

Gong Jiu still stood coldly at the door without saying a word.

Xue Chen smiled and said, "What do you mean?"

Gong Jiu didn't say anything.

Xue Chen: "Come here."

Gong Jiu walked slowly to him, his expression was cold, and his eyes were cold and firm as he looked at the silk beside the bed.

Xue Chen reached out and fiddled with the green tassel. Gong Jiu's eyes followed it, and then he realized something was wrong and looked at his brother.

Xue Chen chuckled.

Gong Jiu shouted unhappily: "Brother."

Xue Chen: "I went to see Yuan Feishuang and Fang Yingkan." Gong

Jiu: "Yes."

Xue Chen: "Fang Yingkan's business is very big and very secretive. He deals in the most basic things. He has a mixed bag of people and is well-informed. With his help, we can quickly find out the details of various places."

Gong Jiu's expression eased a little: "Yes."

Xue Chen: "Asking him to help search for Taihu stones is just a cover. What I really want to do is to use the title of Jiedushi to build my own power in an open and aboveboard manner to compete with Wuming Island."

Gong Jiu was moved: "I know that everything my brother did was for me. You should just speak frankly about this kind of thing, why do you avoid me?"

Xue Chen supported his chin and smiled: "Because my brother is like a little cat, people can't help teasing him."

Gong Jiu was stunned.

If someone else said this, he would definitely cut off the other person's tongue. But the person who said this was his gentle brother, with a hint of doting in his eyes, and he didn't know how to react.

System: [You still say that you are not a brother control! ]

Xue Chen: [I am not! This sentence is a lie to him, can't you see it? ]

System: [Impossible, absolutely impossible! ]

Xue Chen: [Use your brain, I'm going out to eat. If I tell my brother, he will definitely go with me, and then he will definitely quarrel with Xiaofen, and my role will double! 】

System: [……]

Xue Chen: [The most important thing is that my brother will definitely not be happy if Xiaofen picks up food for me. How many of the delicious fish and meat can I eat?]

System: [No wonder you kept it a secret from him and let Xiaohe hold him back.]

Xue Chen stood up: "Are you still angry?"

Gong Jiu: "I'm not angry."

Xue Chen took the clothes beside him, and Gong Jiu came over to help him dress.

Xue Chen: "I'm going to daddy's place, do you want to come with me?"

Gong Jiu was hesitant.

Xue Chen made a decision for him: "Let's go together."

Gong Jiu was silent and did not reject his proposal.

The purple robe that he wore in the morning had been washed by Xiaohe. Xue Chen picked up a sky blue robe and matched it with a white cloak. His indifferent temperament was diluted a little, and he looked as gentle as jade, which was particularly eye-catching.

Gong Jiu sent someone to the front to ask and found out that Prince Taiping was still in the army, so he suggested: "Why not wait until he comes back to see him?"

Xue Chen sighed: "You don't even want to call him dad."

Gong Jiu said lightly: "If big brother wants me to get close to him, I will comply with your wishes."

Xue Chen: "Really?"

Gong Jiu: "Yeah."

Xue Chen smiled: "When you see daddy later, go hug him."

Gong Jiu looked awkward: "...Change another one."

Xue Chen pulled him out: "Just... This."

Gong Jiu reluctantly said, "No."

Xue Chen said, "You've just said it, and you're going to regret it now? I see that you keep your word to everyone, but you keep going back on your word to me."

Gong Jiu said, "That's because you're different from others."

Xue Chen said, "Will you still listen to me?"

Gong Jiu was silent for a moment, "Yes."

Xue Chen came to the backyard and found that the carriage he had taken in the morning had been taken away for cleaning. He couldn't help but sigh to the system that the servants were really efficient.

Gong Jiu often went out and was familiar with this place. Seeing that his elder brother didn't seem to know much about driving, he took the initiative to speak up and instructed the servants to harness the horses and prepare the carriage for travel.

The charcoal brazier in the carriage had just been lit. When Xue Chen sat in, the temperature had not yet risen. He held up his sleeves and said, "I thought I knew everything about the mansion, but I didn't expect there were things I didn't know."

Gong Jiu didn't say anything.

Xue Chen opened the curtain and watched the scenery outside change: "It seems I should go out more often in the future."

Gong Jiu lowered his head and said nothing.

Xue Chen took out a piece of maltose from his sleeve and threw it into Gong Jiu's arms.

System: [When did you steal it?]

Xue Chen: [What do you mean by stealing? I bought it with my own money! 】

This was the appetizer given by the boss when they had lunch in the restaurant this morning. Yuan Feishuang tried a few pieces, and most of them were not as delicious as the ones in Hefangzhai. Only the candies made with simple craftsmanship tasted the same as the expensive ones.

He couldn't finish them all at once, so he secretly hid a few pieces in his sleeves.

Gong Jiu stared at the candies on his clothes in a daze.

Xue Chen looked at him for a long time: [He really looks like a fool sometimes.]

System: [Diamond.]

Xue Chen: [That was an accident.]

System: [Brother control.]

Xue Chen locked it in a small dark room.

He sat next to Gong Jiu, took the maltose, peeled off the outer paper, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Gong Jiu raised his head.

Xue Chen: "Open your mouth."

Gong Jiu opened his mouth.

Xue Chen put the candy in and closed his chin: "Is it sweet?"

Gong Jiu nodded silently.

Xue Chen rubbed his head, messed up his meticulous hair, untied his crown, and tied it up for him again.

The military station was three or four miles away from the capital, and the carriage took more than half an hour to get there.

Xue Chen ordered someone to go in and pass the message, and he and his brother stayed in the car to warm themselves by the fire, and released the system.

[My father's commuting time is not bad. It takes about half an hour to ride a horse here. It's just that it's a bit remote, so you can't order takeout.]

System: [It's already very good, much more convenient than those officials going to the morning court.]

Xue Chen: [But my father also has to go to the morning court occasionally. 】

System:【No wonder he is always so busy. Sometimes he doesn't even go home and lives directly in the military camp. Not to mention the workload, he spends a lot of time on the road every day.】

Xue Chen took a breath:【What's that smell? It smells so good.】

At this time, the guards outside came back and said outside: "The prince invites the two young masters to come in."

Xue Chen opened the curtain and saw the bonfire in the distance at a glance:【Oh my god! They are roasting a whole lamb!】

Xue Chen looked closely: "Isn't that my father?"

The guards: "Young master has good eyesight."

The system silently prayed for King Taiping.

Xue Chen said softly: "Let's go."

The guard led the horse forward for a while, and when they came to the camp, the two brothers came out.

The two walked towards the campfire, and the smell of smoke became stronger and stronger.

Prince Taiping held the wine bowl, clinked it with the person next to him, and drank the wine in one gulp: "Comfortable."

The general next to him smiled and said: "How long has it been since you last drank wine, Your Majesty?"

Prince Taiping: "Aren't you asking knowingly? I just entered the palace yesterday, how can there be no wine at the palace banquet? It's just that the things in the palace are exquisite and the portions are small, how can they compare to the outside world?" "

Your Majesty is right."

Xue Chen looked at him with his eyes wide open as he picked up a dagger, cut the roasted mutton, and gave a piece to everyone next to him.

He called from afar: "Dad."

King Taiping raised his head and greeted his two sons: "You came at the right time. There will be no training today. The soldiers will rest."

Xue Chen: [I thought he was the same as the soldiers in the army, eating big pots of food and simple military rations every day. I didn't expect that I was the only one suffering.]

System: [Didn't your father say that? You are eating like this today because you are resting. You must eat very simply on other days. I don't know how long it has been since you had a snack.]

Xue Chen: [Wow, I even have to eat snacks secretly.]

He walked over with Gong Jiu, and soldiers immediately surrounded them, expressing their amazement at the appearance of the two brothers.

One soldier praised: "As expected of the prince's son, he looks like a rare talent, just like the prince!"

Another one started to make a noise: "You can tell he's his biological son!"

Gong Jiu's face looked a little ugly.

Xue Chen glanced at him, grabbed his sleeve, and brought him to his father.

When King Taiping saw the expressions of his two sons, his hands holding the bowl stopped.

He asked in a low voice: "Did you two quarrel again?"

Suddenly coming to the army to see him, could it be that the eldest son finally couldn't discipline the younger son and decided to let him, as a father, take care of him himself?

Xue Chen couldn't laugh. He controlled the side of his eyes and didn't look at the roasted lamb on the fire: "I have something to tell Dad."

King Taiping handed the mutton to the soldier next to him, poured some wine, and washed off the oil on his hands: "It's windy here, and the smoke and fire are stinging. Go to Dad's tent."

Xue Chen saw that Gong Jiu didn't move, so he reached out and gently pushed his back, motioning him to go with him.

Gong Jiu's expression was solemn, as if he was doing some difficult math problems. He took a step forward sadly, closed his eyes, and hugged King Taiping.

All the soldiers looked over, and those who were chatting shut their mouths. Only the crackling sound of burning firewood was left around.

King Taiping moved stiffly and patted Gong Jiu on the back.

Gong Jiu immediately stood up, left his father's arms without any regrets, and stood next to his brother.

System: [What a weird scene.]

Xue Chen: [He really took my words to heart...]

System: [Why does it feel so weird?]

Xue Chen: [Of course it's weird. I expected that my father would go to work normally and meet us privately, and I would urge him to hug my father, not in public like this. This atmosphere is not suitable at all!]

Gong Jiu is such a big man, and he rushed over and hugged his father. No one thought that they had a good relationship. It was more like he was wronged and couldn't help but come to his father for help.

The soldiers looked at their family with inquiring eyes.

Xue Chen said with a cold face: "Let's go."

King Taiping walked between his sons. He approached Gong Jiu and asked softly: "What did you do to make your brother so angry?"

Gong Jiu said coldly: "No."

King Taiping shook his head and looked at his eldest son.

Xue Chen's expression was even colder than Gong Jiu's. He didn't even look at him.

King Taiping hesitated, looked at Gong Jiu again, and asked in a very low voice: "Chen'er?"

Gong Jiu sneered.

King Taiping turned his head to look at Xue Chen again, and suppressed his voice to maintain his dignity as a father: "Chen'er?"

Xue Chen had no expression on his face.

King Taiping had no choice but to bring the two children to the tent and pour them a cup of hot water.

He sat in the main seat: "Tell me, what is it?"

Xue Chen said calmly: "Give me the Qingyi Building."

The King of Taiping wanted to ask who he was, but after a long silence, he still couldn't ask.

He asked in confusion: "What do you want the Qingyi Building for?"

Xue Chen: "I already have an official position, but my martial arts skills are low, not as good as Zhan Bieye and others. I need some manpower to ensure my safety."

Regarding the safety of his brother, Gong Jiu agreed: "That's right."

The King of Taiping: "I accepted the Qingyi Building for you two brothers. It's understandable to hand it over to you now, but you are young after all, and most of those Jianghu killers are poor and vicious. Do you really have a way to control them?"

Xue Chen: "I have my own plan."

Gong Jiu: "I will also help."

The King of Taiping became more and more confused, and he really couldn't tell the two of them apart.

Xue Chen: "Dad, are you planning to use Qingyi Building for other things?"

The King of Taiping was delighted. He was willing to call him dad, so this must be the eldest son.

Gong Jiu: "Dad, be careful of backlash."

The King of Taiping: "..."

Xue Chen glanced at Gong Jiu and stopped talking.

The King of Taiping hesitated and asked: "You two had a quarrel some time ago. Was it because of Qingyi Building?"

The two children spoke at the same time.

Gong Jiu: "We didn't quarrel."

Xue Chen: "No."

The King of Taiping had never been as distressed as today. He simply stopped thinking about it, took a pen and paper, wrote two notes, and gave one to each of his two sons.

"Take this and go to Qingyi Building and find a man named Yun Heyan. He is the leader of Qingyi Building for now, and he has the final say on all matters in the building. He is a casual person and has great martial arts skills, so don't offend him easily."

Xue put the note away silently.

Gong Jiu: "Yun Heyan?"

Prince Taiping: "He and Lu Xiaofeng came to visit the mansion that day, and you two happened to be arguing and missed meeting them. Yun Heyan is a powerful killer. It is said that in Qingyi Building, no one can be his opponent when it comes to single combat. I originally planned to let him serve in the army, but he seemed reluctant."

Xue Chen: "I will go to see him."

Prince Taiping hesitated and wanted to ask, who are you, but he couldn't say it in the end.

Gong Jiu: "If you have something to say, just say it." Prince Taiping:

"You two, do you have anything else to say?"

Xue Chen said silently: [Wuwuwu I want to eat roast lamb. 】

System:【You just ate so much this morning, and you took the hawthorn pills to digest some of it. Can you still eat now?】

Xue Chen:【Yes! I have a very good appetite!】

He controlled Yun Heyan to cut his wrist and drank a mouthful of blood.

Ye Hai shook his head helplessly, took the medicine and cotton cloth, and prepared to bandage him.

System:【……】

Gong Jiu said coldly: "Nothing."

Xue Chen nodded silently.

Prince Taiping: "It's getting late, and the food in the army is rough. I won't keep you here. Go back quickly. Chen'er, why did you have to go there in person? You are weak to begin with, and now it's cold. You exchanged clothes with Ren'er. You are wearing such thin clothes. Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"

He patted Gong Jiu's shoulder and said to Xue Chen: "You too, you have always been concerned about your brother's health, so how could you fool around with him?"

Gong Jiu sneered.

Xue Chen continued to remain silent.

Prince Taiping felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward. He regretted that he should not have made a decision so easily.

At this point, he could only make the best of a bad situation. He took a big red cloak from the back, put it on Gong Jiu, and said gently: "Even if you are good at martial arts, you should wear more clothes. People eat all kinds of grains, how can they not get sick? You still need to be careful."

Gong Jiu didn't say anything.

Xue Chen: "Dad, we're leaving."

Gong Jiu followed the salute.

King Taiping thought to himself that he had made a mistake. The one wearing a white cloak and a sky-blue robe was the eldest son, and the one wearing white clothes and a stern look next to him was the youngest son.

He was helpless. The two sons looked so similar, and their temperaments and expressions were similar when they deliberately pretended to be each other, and there was no way to tell them apart.

Even if these two children were his own flesh and blood who grew up in his eyes, he couldn't recognize them.

The two brothers left the tent silently.

Gong Jiu said softly: "Why are you angry with him?"

System: [He really knows you well, better than your father.]

Xue Chen: [Of course, we are twins. Gong Jiu glanced around :

"You got angry after arriving at the camp. Don't you like being stared at by these lowly soldiers?"

Xue Chen: "I always respect these soldiers. How could I be angry about this? You, watch your words."

Gong Jiu: "Yes."

Xue Chen: "I'm not angry."

Gong Jiu: "Brother, you are lying. I can feel that you are angry."

Xue Chen: "Okay, I can't hide it from you."

Gong Jiu: "Why?"

Xue Chen: "Yesterday's palace banquet was so extravagant. The whole hall was warm, like spring. The army is so bitter and cold, but a bowl of muddy wine and a few sheep can make them smile. However, those people in the court are insatiable and do their best to eliminate dissidents..."

System: [You are so good at making up stories. 】

Xue Chen:【Of course, I'm a professional.】

Gong Jiu didn't expect that his elder brother would think so deeply, and suddenly felt that his thinking was shallow.

He comforted: "When we become strong, we will definitely make changes."

Xue Chen smiled and said: "Okay."

Xue Chen:【Tong'er, did you hear that? He said 'we'!】

System:【Ah, do you want to take it? But it's very ordinary.】

Xue Chen:【Oh, ​​you go to the small dark room and reflect on yourself, I shouldn't let you out.】

System:【I was wrong! Don't lock me up in the small dark room! On the way back ,

some people still came over. The soldiers brought a large roasted leg of lamb and asked enthusiastically, "Would you like some, young masters?"

Xue Chen stopped, took the dagger, and cut a slice from it. The delicious juice immediately flowed out and dripped on the ground.

Xue Chen took out a handkerchief and handed it over, "Be careful, don't burn your hands."

The soldier paused, looked at the clean white handkerchief, and said a little embarrassedly, "I have thick skin and flesh, I am not afraid of burns! I don't need such a precious thing, you should keep it for yourself."

Xue Chen handed the handkerchief to Gong Jiu, stabbed the meat slice with the dagger, and put it into his mouth.

Gong Jiu looked nervously, afraid that he would accidentally hurt himself with his shaking hands.

Xue Chen chewed a few times: "It's delicious, I'll have another bite."

The soldier said: "If you like it, it's okay to carry this leg back."

Xue Chen said: "I can't eat so much. If I take it back and it gets cold, it won't taste good. Isn't it a waste?"

He cut a few more pieces and ate them, then thanked the soldier and left with Gong Jiu.

Prince Taiping saw Xue Chen eating roasted lamb from a distance, and whispered to himself: "Chen'er has never liked these greasy and fishy foods. He should not have made a mistake. The one in white is Chen'er... These two children, they didn't forget to make fun of me even when they quarreled."

When he said this, his mind suddenly opened up.

Could it be that these two children quarreled just because of him?

The more Prince Taiping thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense. Every time he made a mistake between the two children, it was Lian'er who reacted the most.

He probably felt that his father didn't care about him, so he resented himself.

Chen'er didn't want to tell him the reason, perhaps because he was afraid that he would be sad because of Lin'er's rebellious behavior. This child has always been considerate and sensitive, and he knows very well how much he, as a father, loves his two children.

He had to think of some way, and couldn't always accuse his two sons of being wrong.

Jiu helped his brother into the carriage: "Brother, you have never liked these greasy and fishy foods, why do you have to put yourself in a difficult position for others?"

Xue Chen: [The "we" he just said did not exclude me. In the past, he must have been doing business outside, and I was lying at home, never thinking that I could also carve out my own world. My brother's progress is very obvious, which is enough to prove that my education is useful. ]

System: [What we? ]

Xue Chen: [Is your brain full of mush? ]

System: [I don't have a brain. ]

Xue Chen: [I don't want to talk to a brainless system. ]

System: [Woo woo, I was wrong! I have a brain, don't lock me up in a small dark room! Gong Jiu

didn't wait for his brother's reply, and looked at his face carefully: "Brother, you don't look good, are you feeling unwell?"

Xue Chen: [Isn't my complexion the same as his?]

System: [Yes.]

Xue Chen looked at Gong Jiu and confirmed that his brother's complexion was as pale as ever. He couldn't help but be speechless: [With such a face, no one would think he looks healthy, right?]

System: [Think positively, at least your character is stable. 】

Xue Chen: "I'm not feeling unwell."

Gong Jiu: "You ate a lot of hard-to-digest food in the palace yesterday, and you ate outside again at noon today. I heard that after you returned home, you slept for a long time, and you felt unwell after waking up. You felt better after taking medicine. You ate so much meat just now, you must be feeling uncomfortable again."

Xue Chen: "Then what are you going to do?"

Gong Jiu: "Do you want them to stop first and find a place to rest?"

Xue Chen: [I thought he would induce vomiting in me. ]

System: [Not really. ]

Xue Chen was a little moved. He opened the car curtain and looked into the distance: "There shouldn't be a place to rest around. You'd better go back home quickly. I'm fine. It's you who's worried too much and thinks I'm too fragile."

Gong Jiu didn't say anything else.

Xue Chen: [Why do I feel like he's a little disappointed? ]

System: [Really? 】

Xue Chen opened the car curtain and continued to look into the distance. When he was about to enter the city, he saw several figures in the woods at the city gate.

Those figures did not look like ordinary passers-by. They walked with a strong step. They should be martial artists.

Xue Chen: "Do you want to go out?"

Gong Jiu paused: "Yes."

Xue Chen: "Has someone made an appointment with you?"

Gong Jiu: "Yes."

Xue Chen: "Is it someone from the Nameless Island?

" Gong Jiu: "Yes." Xue Chen:

"Your subordinates?"

Gong Jiu: "Yes."

Xue Chen: "There are often pedestrians passing by the dense forest not far away. Someone was assassinated there a few days ago. Do you know about it?"

Gong Jiu: "Yes."

Xue Chen: "Is it related to you?"

Gong Jiu: "Yes."

Xue Chen: "Explain it yourself."

Gong Jiu is no longer the same person as before.

In the past, he would deliberately conceal his actions, but after being exposed by his brother several times, he had a new understanding of his brother.

The eldest brother was not as short-sighted as the woman in the deep house. He was capable, sensitive, and knew himself very well. His little thoughts could not be hidden from the eldest brother at all.

If the eldest brother did not expose him, it must be that he was giving him face and was willing to play along with him to maintain his self-esteem.

He had confronted the eldest brother many times and promised him personally that he would let him handle the matter of the Nameless Island.

Now that the eldest brother has discovered his dealings with the Nameless Island, how dare he hide anything?

Gong Jiu confessed: "My subordinates in the capital still come to exchange information with me every once in a while. Last night, they came to see me again. The old man hoped that I would return to the island and not stay here for long.

"As for the assassination that big brother mentioned, the person assassinated was Yuan Feishuang. He was the junior brother of Di Feijing of Liufenbantang. He was very famous. This time he went down the mountain, not just to see Di Feijing. The grappling skills he practiced have been perfected, and Yuan Feishuang must use this to make a name for himself.

"Yuan Feishuang was quite ostentatious along the way. My subordinates saw that he was extraordinary, so they made a special trip to find out his whereabouts and sold the information to the Mi Tian League. The Mi Tian League and the Liu Fen Ban Tang have always been at odds, and they certainly don't want to see the Liu Fen Ban Tang become bigger, so they carried out this assassination."

Xue Chen: [I said that the Mi Tian League is only a force in the capital, how could it reach so far, clearly know when Xiao Fen arrived in the capital, and set up an ambush on the road in advance. It turns out that my brother was behind it.]

System: [You still can't control him.]

Xue Chen: [It's much better now than before. 】

Gong Jiu whispered: "At that time, Yuan Feishuang was not on good terms with big brother, I didn't mean it."

"I know." Xue Chen said softly, "I don't care about this matter. You said that the old man wanted you to go back to the island. What did he say specifically?"

Gong Jiu: "He didn't say much, just let someone take this sentence."

Xue Chen: "I will go back to Wuming Island for you."

Gong Jiu: "Big brother!"

Xue Chen: "Don't worry, I won't go alone this time. Isn't there a killer with high martial arts skills over there in Qingyi Building?"

System: [If you go to Wuming Island, you should see what to do there? ]

Xue Chen: [Simple, open a new vest. ]
