Chapter 172 Jin丨Jiang Wenxue Exclusive Release (Extra Updates with Overlord Tickets)

Xue Chen took a shower, changed into his brother's clothes, and dealt with the paperwork of the Ministry of War with Yu Qi.

He wanted to recruit soldiers for his father, but he couldn't make a big fuss.

The manpower added in the past few days was extremely limited, and it basically relied on the spontaneous propaganda of the officers and soldiers in the army, calling their relatives and friends who couldn't afford to eat to come over, otherwise there might not be so many new recruits.

It was because of this that King Taiping calmly accepted the expansion of manpower.

If he knew the truth, he might not react like this now.

Xue Chen got an official position in the Ministry of War, responsible for managing the Southern Cao, and could review the files of military operations, which made up for this deficiency to a great extent.

Yu Qi had just handed over his work these few days and was not yet familiar with his subordinates.

Xue Chen divided the data he brought back to the mansion into two parts, and each vest read one. After reading for a long time, he found that it was more efficient to concentrate on one of the bodies, and put all the data together. The main body and Yu Qi took turns to rest.

Xue Chen looked for a long time and found that there were many noble children in the military examination.

These people looked like ordinary people. If you go back a few generations, you will find that they are all military generals. There are very few civilians, and it is impossible to pull them under the command of King Taiping.

He sighed: "I came to the wrong place."

System: [Huh?]

Xue Chen: [The poor are good at literature and the rich are good at martial arts. The usual practice of the military examination has excluded the lower-class people with poor family conditions. However, there are still rich people willing to learn martial arts in the chaotic world. They should be thinking of serving the country. We still have to get in touch with them if we have a chance.】 System

:【But even if they can go to the capital to take the exam, it is not your responsibility.】 Xue Chen:【Stupid, I can get in touch with them privately.】 He flipped through them and took out a few files:【Look at this person, his home address is next to the Fengying Bureau, and Da Mian can run into him by chance after work. And this one, Qingtan is very close to his hometown, go and find out about his family background first, and find a way to meet him. 【After getting familiar with them, directly invite them to join the army in the name of my father. Even if they have illusions about Zhao Ji, after they have been tempered in the army for a long time, and then learn about Zhao Ji's tricks, it won't take long for them to become our confidants.】 System:【Okay. 】 Xue Chen did what he said. Qingtan set off for the town over there. Yun Heyan inquired about the student's family background inconspicuously, and then went to meet him by chance. This efficiency is a bit low, and it may take several days to convince one person. But these students all have a basic foundation. They can participate in martial arts, riding and shooting are not a problem. They are proficient in military strategies and their physical fitness is much better than that of the people who can't afford to eat. They can be regarded as elite talents. Xue Chen spent several days contacting these people, and Xiaohe received a reply from Gong Jiu. Xue Chen flipped through the letter. It was indeed Gong Jiu's handwriting on it. It can be seen that he was very conflicted when he wrote this letter. Although there were no mistakes, his pen was stagnant. With Gong Jiu's obsessive-compulsive disorder, writing a reply like this is enough to show that he is restless. Xue Chen looked back and forth several times with a cold face. Xiao He glanced at Yu Qi beside him. She thought Yu Qi was lively and active, and was very sweet in front of the eldest son, always calling him "Brother Xue Chen". Unexpectedly, after the eldest son came back, Yu Qi became very quiet and rarely spoke on her own initiative. At this time, the eldest son was obviously angry, and Yu Qi had no intention of persuading him. She just sat there expressionlessly, looking like she was in a daze, which was somewhat similar to the prince when he was in a daze. Xiao He couldn't count on him, so she retracted her gaze and whispered, "The prince may be busy with something important, and he still has you in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have specially found a doctor from outside to come." "Well." Xue Chen put down the letter and said to Xiao He, "Continue writing to him." Xiao He was afraid that he would still be sad because he didn't get the answer he wanted, so she suggested, "Why not wait a few days? The prince will come back naturally after he finishes his work." System: [When Gong Jiu finishes his work, the sky will change.] Xue Chen: [Too abominable, am I not as ambitious as him?] System: [You know yourself that Gong Jiu knows very well that this is your plan, and of course he won't fall for it easily.] Xue Chen said unhappily, "Are you still listening to me? Continue writing to him." Xiao He: "Yes." Xiao He continued to write to Gong Jiu. Xue Chen and Yu Qi quietly left the palace and went to visit Xie Heng in the army. Xie Heng was in poor health and had been staying in the barracks. He personally supervised all the blasting experiments, and had less time to refine the elixir every day. King Taiping ordered people to build two new rooms for him, which were very close to his office. The inside was a rest room, and the outside was a small study room where he could read, write, and eat. With the row of houses in front blocking the outside, it was not too cold in winter. Xie Heng usually stayed here and only went out when he was making firearms and testing their power. He was a little restless today, and called Hu Sheng to go outside for a walk. Hu Sheng covered his legs with a thick blanket and pushed him around aimlessly. Xue Chen: [Where is my dad? Where is my dad? We are almost there, why don't we see him? 】 System: 【You are so excited that your mind is overflowing. 】 Xue Chen: 【How can this be called excitement? I am clearly here to pick a fight! 】 System: 【……】 Hu Sheng saw that his cheeks were red from the cold, and walked to the front to straighten his collar: "It's too cold outside, why don't you go back?" Xie Heng: "Keep walking, I always feel sleepy in the house, and I feel much more energetic when I go out to get some fresh air." Hu Sheng pushed Xie Heng to the front. The soldiers in the barracks were training, and they looked a little lazy and not very energetic, as if they were reluctant to do such things in the winter. Xie Heng frowned: "Have the soldiers always been like this?" Hu Sheng: "They were more energetic when they just came back from the battlefield, but then they gradually became lazy. I heard that this is still good, the imperial guards in the palace are even worse." System: [How can this be! Now we can fight at any time! ]

"Born in sorrow, die in comfort." Xie Heng said softly, "The King of Taiping doesn't care?"

"The prince said that the New Year will be here in a few days, so it's good to relax for a few days. These soldiers haven't been home for two years. It's human nature to miss their families during the New Year. The war is urgent, and we dare not let them go back. We can only send them a few letters home and give them more food and wages."

System: [Your father is pretty good.]

Xue Chen: [My father is good in everything, but he is too soft-hearted. Sometimes I really think that if my father was not the King of Taiping, he would definitely be in a miserable situation and would lose everything in business. It was only with the support of my mother that he could barely save up a little fortune.]

System: [Why do I feel that the scene you describe is warmer than the current one? 】

Xue Chen:【Of course, my mother is not dead, my brother is not a pervert, and with the intelligence of the whole family, they can get by well, isn't it better than now?】

The system is silent.

It is a little sad, why did the princess die?

If the princess hadn't committed suicide, the Taiping Palace would not have become what it is now.

Xue Chen:【My brother deserves to die for not coming home for the New Year.】

System:【That's right!】

When Hu Sheng saw Xie Heng was silent, he thought of his life experience and felt sorry for him.

Since Xie Heng became disabled, he should have never been able to get along well with his family. The word "reunion" is probably very unfamiliar to him, so after hearing what he said, Xie Heng was so depressed.

Hu Sheng asked: "Sir, do you want to go back to Jiangnan for the New Year?"

Xie Heng came back to his senses: "What are you going to do?"

Hu Sheng: "It's warmer there than here, and there are friends like Master Hua Liu... Your affairs have all been resolved, and you have the royal palace to rely on, so you won't drag innocent people into this."

Xie Heng: "Do you have any family?"

Hu Sheng: "They are no longer alive."

Xie Heng smiled and said: "Then I am the only one you have?"

Hu Sheng: "Yes."

Xie Heng thought for a while: "Then go back, but you have to tell King Taiping. We will leave in a few days. I don't know how many days we will have to walk on the road, so I'm afraid we won't stay there for too long."

Hu Sheng: "Just treat it as an outing on the way."

Xie Heng: "That's right."

System: [What conspiracy do you have? ]

Xue Chen: [How can it be called a conspiracy? I just think that I made friends with Hua Liutong, and Mr. Hu also established relationships with them. He suggested this for my sake, but it also indirectly shows that he has a good impression of my friends. Mr. Hu is just taking care of me, and he is not my personal property. He has the right to make friends... I don't care. If he keeps staying at home with me, I guess he will be very depressed. 】

System: [You are quite nice to Mr. Hu. ]

Xue Chen: [After all, he has taken care of Xie Heng for so long, and they are inseparable. ]

System: [What about me? Our relationship is closer, and we are even more inseparable. Why can't you be nicer to me? ]

Xue Chen: [What do you want to eat? I'll eat it for you. ]

System: [...]

Xue Chen: [If you don't want to eat, forget it. It's tasteless. 】

System: [……]

Yu Qi used Qinggong to buy some snacks, caught up with the original body, and came to the army with him.

Everyone in the military camp knew that the two sons of King Taiping were twins. Even if they had never seen them, it was easy to judge their identities when they saw two young men with the same appearance, luxurious clothes, and eyebrows that were somewhat similar to the king.

Yu Qi still pretended to be Xue Chen. Xue Chen wore a thin white dress and had a look that belonged to a younger brother.

The two of them had a better understanding than twins. Even without any verbal communication, it could be seen at a glance that the relationship between them was very good.

Xue Chen and Yu Qi did not go to say hello to King Taiping, but came directly to Xie Heng.

Xie Heng was still outside enjoying the breeze. He smiled when he saw them: "Why are you here?"

Mr. Hu saluted Xue Chen: "Young Master, Prince."

Yu Qi gently said to Mr. Hu: "You go down first."

Mr. Hu: "Yes."

Xue Chen looked at Xie Heng's legs and said regretfully: [It's a pity that I can't just become smaller and sit on Xie Heng's legs now.]

System: [Why are you so lazy!]

Xue Chen: [I am lazy.]

System: [You get Xie Heng off the wheelchair and sit on it yourself.]

Xue Chen: [Then I have to carry Xie Heng and walk, which is not a good idea.]

Xue Chen pushed the wheelchair forward and took Xie Heng back to his residence.

They didn't find the King of Taiping, but the news of Xue Chen and Yu Qi's arrival will soon reach the King of Taiping, and he will come over himself.

After returning to the house, Xue Chen automatically occupied the main seat.

He looked around and found that he could clearly see the door of the King of Taiping from here, but he had to stand up.

Xie Heng had been sitting, his line of sight was too low, and his perspective on many things was different from that of normal people.

System: [There are obviously three people here, but the atmosphere is still so deserted.]

Xue Chen: [A fight?]

System: [...Forget it.]

After a while of silence, the King of Taiping came in from outside and saw at a glance his youngest son in white sitting on the main seat, his eldest son standing far away by the window, and Xie Heng in another corner, sitting on a wheelchair, quietly lowering his head.

The atmosphere was not right. Did they have a quarrel?

The King of Taiping greeted Xie Heng first, then looked at Xue Chen: "When did Lian'er come back?"

Xue Chen: "Dad, it's me."

The King of Taiping smiled awkwardly: "Why did you change clothes with your brother again? I almost didn't recognize you."

System: [What do you mean by almost didn't recognize you? You didn't recognize you in the first place!]

Xue Chen: "It's a long story. I'll talk to Dad in detail when I get back."

"Okay." The King of Taiping looked at Yu Qi and saw that he was still in a trance. "You haven't been home for so long, and you didn't even say hello to Dad when you came back. I wonder if anyone is worried about you?"

Yu Qi played dumb: "Ah? Are you talking to me?"

King Taiping: "Who else could it be but you."

Yu Qi quickly came to Xue Chen: "Brother Xue Chen, your father is so scary, he won't hit me, will he?"

System: [You...]

Xue Chen: [No, although Xiao Qi won't be embarrassed, Xie Heng and I will still be embarrassed.]

System: [...]

Xue Chen protected Yu Qi: "Dad, you've got the wrong person, he is Xiao Qi. I haven't been home these days, and it's always been Xiao Qi who disguised himself as me to get along with you." King Taiping

frowned: "What are you not at home?"

System: [Poor King Taiping.

Xue Chen said softly, "I've been away from home for more than half a month. I just came back from outside yesterday. Didn't you know?" King

Taiping: "..."

Thinking of his eldest son entering the Ministry of War these days, he and his eldest son were in a cold war, and his eldest son showed goodwill to him pitifully in the cold wind. The father and son reconciled happily and made plans for the outside world...

How could he not be at home? !

Who has been with him for more than half a month?

How many sons does he have?

Why does it feel like there are so many, but when you think about it carefully, it seems like there are none?

System: [Your father's shock is already written on his face. By the way, why did you torture him?]

Xue Chen: [He prepared jerky himself and didn't share it with me! He finally shared it with me, but only gave it to the two of us! And the roasted lamb in the army last time, and all kinds of palace banquets, social gatherings in other places, he went to eat by himself, didn't take me with him, and didn't even think of packing! He feeds me medicinal food every day, or vegetables without much oil and salt, who can stand this? 】

System: [...]

A moment of silence for King Taiping.

Xue Chen's expression turned cold: "You didn't really not know?"

King Taiping said awkwardly: "You didn't tell me in advance, I was busy with things outside, and didn't pay much attention to the family... And half a month ago, weren't you sick all the time? Why did you suddenly leave the house?"

Xue Chen lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes, saying nothing.

System: [I remember, when you questioned your brother, he reacted like this, and you complained that he was like a pillar. 】

Xue Chen: [You may not die if you say less, but you will definitely die if you say too much. 】

System: [……]

The King of Taiping looked at Yu Qi: "Your name is Xiao Qi?"

Yu Qi nodded.

The King of Taiping: "Is this your disguise?"

Yu Qi nodded.

The King of Taiping: "When did you come to my house? And when did you disguise yourself as Chen'er?"

Yu Qi said naively: "Didn't Brother Xue Chen say so? More than half a month ago."

The King of Taiping originally thought that he was Xue Lian, and that the two brothers had made up a new name and played an insignificant little joke on him.

After seeing Yu Qi's expression, the King of Taiping knew that this man was indeed not his son.

His two sons would never show such an expression.

Seeing that he called Xue Chen brother and that he didn't look very old, the King of Taiping treated him kindly: "Are you the one who has been with me these days?"

Yu Qi nodded.

King Taiping: "No wonder..."

With the appetite of the eldest son, if he really didn't want to eat, he wouldn't eat no matter how much he urged. But that day, Yu Qi ate two pieces of dried meat in a row. It was absolutely impossible for the eldest son to take the third one!

King Taiping: "Do you know what happened?"

Yu Qi squeezed on Xue Chen's body and barely stood firm in a very labor-saving posture: "Xue Lian did something bad outside and was discovered by brother Xue Chen. They never reached an agreement. Xue Lian was furious and locked up his brother and pretended to be his brother. He was afraid of being discovered, so he kept pretending to be sick until he was caught by Xiao Mian and his brother escaped."

System: [!!! Why did Xiao Qi tell everything? ]

Xue Chen: [It's time. Sure enough, it is better to let Xiao Qi do such embarrassing things. 】

System: [……]

You don’t care about the life and death of King Taiping at all, right?

King Taiping: "How could Lian'er do such a thing? He and Chen'er have always been good friends..."

Yu Qi: "If they didn't have a good relationship, Brother Xue Chen would have been killed by him long ago. It is because of their good relationship that he locked up his brother and didn't let anyone see him except him."

Xue Chen said softly: "Xiao Qi, don't say anymore."

Yu Qi: "Oh."

King Taiping didn't expect such a big thing to happen in the mansion. He hasn't figured out the truth yet, how could he let it go so easily?

Considering the health of his eldest son, King Taiping suppressed his chaotic and complicated emotions and tried to say gently: "You just came back from outside yesterday. I'm afraid you haven't rested well. Do you want to lie down with your father?"

Xue Chen shook his head.

"You have been wronged." King Taiping said with pity, "You and Ren'er quarreled a few days ago, was it because of this?"

Xue Chen: "Yes."

King Taiping regretted it very much: "If I had known this, I should have asked a few more questions."

Xue Chen: "I didn't want you to know."

King Taiping thought of the reason given by his eldest son at that time, and now it didn't seem false: "Are you afraid that your father will severely punish your brother?"

Xue Chen: "Lin'er has fallen to this point, it is his own fault, but he is my brother after all, and I can't lose him."

King Taiping: "What exactly did he do?"

Xue Chen pursed his lips and lowered his head.

Prince Taiping: "Xiao Qi, you tell me."

Yu Qi: "He wants to kill you."

"Kill me?" Prince Taiping was stunned, "Why? Lian'er has always been calm and sensible. Although he looks a little cold, he is actually very smart and will not be easily provoked by others. Why would he suddenly want to kill me?"

Xue Chen: "Xiao Qi!"

Yu Qi: "Because he saw you holding a dagger and stabbing the princess in the heart. He has always been afraid of you and has always wanted to avenge the princess."

Xue Chen: "Don't say anymore."

System: [Why is your performance suddenly not perfunctory? ]

Xue Chen: [This is a key plot, I have to get through it carefully. It might leave a psychological shadow on my father. I have to leave him a gap to vent his emotions, and I can't let him focus on my brother all the time, otherwise I'm afraid he will send troops to capture my brother now, and my brother will commit suicide after being captured. ]

System: [You have it hard. ]

Xue Chen: [Fortunately, as long as you follow my plan, my brother will definitely be fine, and it's very exciting. ]

System: [? ]

King Taiping winked at Yu Qi, and Yu Qi stood up and walked to the side, giving up Xue Chen's position.

The King of Taiping did not let Xue Chen stand up. He half-knelt in front of his son, held Xue Chen's shoulders, looked him in the eye, and soothed him: "Chen'er, do you believe in Daddy?"

Xue Chen: "Of course I do."

Yu Qi: "It was Xue Lian who always asked his brother to choose between Daddy and Xue Chen. Brother Xue Chen always firmly chose to stand on Daddy's side, so Xue Lian would angrily lock his brother up."

The King of Taiping said with emotion: "Good boy, I'm sorry for you. These things should have been borne by Daddy, but I didn't expect that all the pressure fell on you."

He finally understood why his eldest son's illness had been recurring for the past six months.

The relationship between Chen'er and Lian'er has always been very good. Being treated like this by his younger brother is hard for even ordinary people to bear, let alone Chen'er who has been weak and sick since childhood?

Xue Chen held the hand of the King of Taiping: "Lin'er is unfilial, I'm sorry, Dad."

The King of Taiping suddenly felt something was wrong: "Did you let him go on purpose?"

Xue Chen was stunned.

The King of Taiping: "These days, you often exchange identities with him. Is it also for this matter?"

Yu Qi: "Yes!"

Xue Chen glanced at Yu Qi and remained silent.

The King of Taiping: "Now you are dressed like Ren'er again... Although you are confessing what Ren'er did, you have been protecting him all the time... Chen'er, tell Dad, have you thought about what will happen in the future and are ready to take the punishment for him?"

Xue Chen lowered his eyes: "Yes."

System: [Are you really ready to take the punishment for Gong Jiu? 】

King Taiping: "Child, you only care about him, why don't you take care of yourself? It's nothing for Lian'er to get hurt, but if it's you, I don't know how long you will have to rest. Dad knows that you are kind-hearted and a good brother who loves your brother, but you have to think about dad too. You are innocent. If you get hurt because of Xue Lian, how sad will dad be?"

Xue Chen: [Didn't the scripture I read before express this meaning? 】

Xue Chen: "I am sickly to begin with. Without my brother's health, the time I spend with you is destined to be less than that of Lian'er... Not to mention that it would be better if these days of bedridden end sooner..."

System: [I didn't expect you to be so obsessed with your brother. 】

Xue Chen: [Stupid. King

Taiping held his son's cold hand: "Chen'er, how can you say that?"

Xue Chen lowered his head: "I am unfilial."

King Taiping: "Since you know that you are unfilial, then live well and don't think like that anymore! You don't have to worry about Lian'er's affairs, leave this matter to me. Didn't that kid fail to do it yet? Even if he is to be punished, it will be dealt with according to family rules. Don't worry, even a tiger will not eat its own cubs, and Dad will not kill him."

Xue Chen shook his head.

Prince Taiping: "What else do you have to worry about?"

Xue Chen: "How do you plan to explain the misunderstanding between my brother and me?"

Prince Taiping sighed: "What your brother said is true. How old were you two brothers when the princess passed away? No wonder he hates me. It is also my fault that he can get to where he is today. It's just that this matter is not as simple as he sees."

When he admitted it, Xue Chen's hands trembled a little, but his face remained calm and pale: "I remember how my father treated me for more than 20 years. I believe in my father."

Prince Taiping held it tighter: "Chen'er, good boy, do you want a glass of water? Where's your medicine? Do you have it with you?"

Yu Qi flipped through it, took out the medicine bottle, and said with a smile: "It's with me!"

System: [Xiao Qi's mood is out of tune with this place. 】

Xue Chen: [It seems a little, but that's Xiao Qi's personality, it's normal. 】

Yu Qi poured a glass of water, took the medicine and fed it directly to the subject.

The subject didn't even move his hands and took it from his hand.

System: [Why do you have to pretend to be so sick in front of your father? Didn't you know the truth a long time ago? You are not as sad as you show now, right? 】

Xue Chen: [I'm not Xiao Qi, how can I have no feelings. That's my mother! And my own brother! 】

System: [I was wrong, I'm sorry. 】

Xue Chen: [And look, does my father still have any intention of arresting my brother himself? Wait until I interrupt his attention, and then take the initiative to mention it later, and he will hand over the power to punish his brother to me. 】

System: [……]

Seeing that his complexion seemed to have improved, Prince Taiping explained, "Your mother and I have a deep relationship. If she had not had any choice, how could she have chosen such a desperate path?"

Xue Chen: "I know that mother's status is low. If it weren't for father's insistence, she could only be a concubine, and would never become a princess married in a formal way. Moreover, father has never looked for other women in all these years..."

Prince Taiping: "I'm glad you understand. Alas, but Lian'er only wants to believe what he sees with his own eyes."

Xue Chen: "Lian'er should have thought it through over the years, but he has planned it for a long time and put all his efforts into it. If he is allowed to turn back, his first half of life will be meaningless. He is such a proud man, he would rather die than admit defeat."

Prince Taiping: "So you want to die for him?"

Xue Chen was silent.

Prince Taiping: "If Lian'er survived with your identity, he would not commit suicide, but can you really bear to let him spend the rest of his life in pain?"

Xue Chen shook his head.

When Prince Taiping saw that his son's attitude softened, he knew that he had listened.

He couldn't help but feel a little scared. Fortunately, Chen'er hadn't made up his mind to replace Ren'er, otherwise he would never have brought Xiaoqi here today because of his hesitation and confessed through Xiaoqi's mouth.

As a father, he was afraid that he would be kept in the dark by his two children. He might not know the truth until Chen'er passed away.

King Taiping: "There will be other ways. Dad is here for everything. Don't be afraid, Chen'er, your brother will be fine."

Xue Chen responded in a low voice.

King Taiping: "Do you know where Lian'er is?"

Xue Chen: "I don't know, but I have figured out the forces his subordinates are running. If we want to get rid of those people, we have to rely on Daddy's help."

King Taiping: "Just tell me what you need me to do. No need to be polite."

Xue Chen shook his head: "I'll tell Daddy when Lian'er comes back."

King Taiping sighed: "Okay."

Xue Chen: "Dad, train private soldiers."

King Taiping looked serious: "Do you know that training soldiers privately is tantamount to treason, a serious crime punishable by the extermination of the entire family?"

Xue Chen: "Lian'er is already doing it."

Xue Chen: [Our family has long been on the court's death list! ]

System: [Your brother's revenge is still very smart. Whether he succeeds or fails, it will implicate King Taiping. Unfortunately, you are a variable. He doesn't want to drag you into it, so he can only give in step by step. 】

Xue Chen: [My brother is so good. ]

System: [……]

Prince Taiping couldn't believe it: "You said that Ren'er was plotting a rebellion? If he hated me, he could just kill me directly. Why would he do such a thing?"

Xue Chen said softly: "Dad is a cautious person and is in charge of the military power of the world. Ren'er has been under your shadow all his life. How could he possibly fight against you? He can only rebel and break through your power to have a chance to suppress you."

Prince Taiping: "This idiot!"

If Gong Jiu accidentally revealed his plan, their whole family would have no idea how many times they would have been reincarnated.

And according to Xue Chen, Gong Jiu had been preparing for these things since the death of the princess. How old was he then?

Their family is lucky to have been able to keep it a secret until today.

Xue Chen: "My younger brother has his own private army and many followers in the underworld. If dad leads the army to capture him, I'm afraid it will alarm the court."

Prince Taiping: "This matter is of great importance. Once it is done, there will be no turning back. I have to think about it and give you an answer in a few days."

Xue Chen: "Yes."

Prince Taiping: "Did you instruct Xiaoqi to do everything?"

Xue Chen: "Yes."

Prince Taiping: "You are smart and capable enough to stand on your own. Dad underestimated you before. But After all, you are young, and you have rarely dealt with outsiders, and you still have many shortcomings... It would be good to gain some experience in the Ministry of War. You must be careful with Cai Jing. If he catches you, he will not let you go. If you make a mistake in this matter, Zhuge Zhengwo might stand on the same side as Cai Jing."

Xue Chen: "No."

The late emperor in the original book was not a good emperor. He forced the people to have no way to live. Zhuge Zhengwo and other officials could not stand it, so they rebelled together.

Unexpectedly, just when they were ready and had no time to take action, the late emperor died, and then pushed Zhao Ji to the throne.

Fu Zongshu, who participated in the rebellion, defected to Zhao Ji's side and betrayed them, resulting in the murder of the entire family of Yu Fenggang, the Minister of War. Zhuge Zhengwo had no handle in Fu Zongshu's hands, so he escaped.

If someone was plotting a rebellion, Zhuge Zhengwo should understand.

But it would be a bit difficult to get him involved. He was betrayed by Fu Zongshu, so he must be extra cautious, fearing that he would take a wrong step and fall into the trap of political enemies. If

a big thing fails the first time, it will be difficult to do it a second time.

After talking about Gong Jiu, King Taiping looked at Yu Qi: "Who is this kid? His disguise is so good that he looks exactly like you two brothers."

Xue Chen smiled: "I knew that Daddy couldn't recognize me and Lian'er."

King Taiping: "Of course Daddy can recognize you, but you two brothers usually dress up in different ways, so you can be distinguished at a glance. When you are caught off guard, you won't think that your identities are wrong. Who would have thought that there is a master of disguise like Xiao Qi?"

Xue Chen didn't expose him and waved his hand at Yu Qi.

Yu Qi came over: "I am from the Western Regions and came to the Central Plains to play. I met Brother Xue Chen by chance. He is my first friend in the Central Plains and helped me a lot."

System: [What about Lu Xiaofeng? ]

Xue Chen: [Lu Xiaofeng is the first friend in another sorting method. 】

System: [Wrong, Lu Xiaofeng. 】

There are often disturbances in the Western Regions. The King of Taiping used to fight with the Western Regions, and the princess was sent to his side at that time.

Hearing Yu Qi say this, the King of Taiping was immediately alert. He

is from the Western Regions, and he has such a superb disguise technique, and the imitation of the expression and tone is also very accurate.

This child will not feel out of place no matter who he disguises himself as. He can easily sneak into the court. Whether he is a spy to gather information, or directly pretending to be a superior and issuing some orders that are misleading to the country and the people, no one will suspect him.

Xue Chen whispered: "Dad, Xiao Qi is a good child, he listens to me very much."

Yu Qi nodded repeatedly.

The King of Taiping was relieved to hear his son say this.

He looked at Yu Qi again, and thought of the princess, and treated the boy who disguised himself as his son much kinder.

Yu Qi: "Daddy, if you have anything, you can tell me, I will do my best."

Seeing that he was dressed exactly like his eldest son before, and now he showed such a gentle expression, and his voice and tone were exactly the same as his eldest son, the King of Taiping couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.

He glanced at his serious son in white clothes next to him, and said to Yu Qi: "Thank you very much."

Yu Qi: "You and I are father and son, you don't have to be polite."

The King of Taiping: "..."

System: [I don't know why, when this sentence comes out of Xiao Qi's mouth, it feels like the King of Taiping is the son.]

Xue Chen: [Indeed.]

System: [Are you doing it on purpose?]

Xue Chen: [No, Xiao Qi really couldn't feel it, so I just said it directly.]

Yu Qi looked at King Taiping gently: "Dad, you have worked hard to train the troops. Brother Xue Chen and I have compiled a list of talented people. Two people will come to visit us someday. Please take the time to meet them in person."

Xue Chen continued: "As for the others, it is difficult for me to gather them one by one with my energy. You have to fight for them yourself."

His words were very smooth, and his voice, speed and tone were exactly the same. Even though King Taiping was used to seeing his two sons get along, he still felt a little strange at this time.

The eldest son and Yu Qi are so close that they are like one person.

He is under a lot of pressure. If he meets these children again, can he really recognize which one is his biological son?

Prince Taiping asked: "Has Ren'er met Xiaoqi?"

Xue Chen nodded: "More than that. Xiaoqi often disguises himself as me, and occasionally disguises himself as Ren'er. Ren'er himself can't tell the difference."

Prince Taiping: "That's good."

System: [? ? Your Majesty, you let something slip! ]
