1037 Transaction, I'd rather die in the Imperial City

Just as the Ninth Prince said, the Third Prince had revealed his identity on purpose, but he did not expect that the Ninth Prince would guess it so quickly and come to kill him directly. Such a direct approach was really unlike that of a royal family member, but the Third Prince did not dislike it.

The two of them went back and forth, testing each other and guarding against each other. It was no wonder that the Third Prince and the Ninth Prince were so cautious, because what they talked about was related to the lives of many people.

Half an hour, an hour...

The conversation between the Ninth Uncle and the Third Prince finally came to an end. Judging from the looks of both of them, they seemed very satisfied.

The servants served the fragrant tea at the right time. The Ninth Prince picked up the teacup but showed no intention to drink it. The Third Prince took a sip and said, "Why? Are you afraid that your brother will poison you?"

"Yes, I am afraid." The Ninth Prince put the teacup on the table and made up his mind not to drink it.

"Afraid? What do you have to be afraid of? Don't you have a confidante with superb medical skills by your side? With her by your side, what do you have to fear?" The Third Prince said sourly.

Speaking of Feng Qingchen, the lines on the Ninth Uncle's face softened a bit: "Third Brother, you think too highly of her. Her medical skills are just so-so."

"Nothing more? No more than that. I can help you heal Prince Yu's legs and make Prince Yu work for you?" The Third Prince was very dissatisfied with the Ninth Prince's concealing attitude. There was a hint of murderous intent in his words, and this murderous intent was of course directed at Feng Qingchen.

Uncle Jiukan remembered that in the imperial city, the Third Prince's people had asked Feng Qingchen for treatment, but Feng Qingchen did not go. He immediately frowned and said in a cold voice: "Royal brother, this matter has nothing to do with the transaction between us."

The Ninth Prince was wearing armor and already had a murderous aura. His anger was even more compelling. Even the Third Prince was shocked and laughed loudly: "Ninth brother, Third Brother's choice was indeed correct. You... are very good!"

The Third Prince suddenly changed the subject, but the Ninth Prince understood what the Third Prince was talking about. They had just reached a very strange agreement. |

The Third Prince was willing to give the 50,000 private soldiers he had trained in Shandong to the Ninth Prince. His only request was that the Ninth Prince bury him on the top of a solitary peak outside the imperial city so that he could see the Dongling Imperial City from afar and "see" the emperor's fate after his death.

Although I know that the Third Prince proposed this deal because he wanted him to be an enemy of the Emperor, they are already enemies, so...

Such a deal is a sure win for the Ninth Prince no matter how you look at it, so he certainly won't refuse it. But that doesn't mean he trusts the Third Prince.

He believed that with the Third Prince's management over the years, it was impossible that he only had such a small number of people. One must know that the Third Prince's power in the Imperial City was not to be underestimated.

However, one should not be too greedy. The Ninth Prince was already very satisfied to get these 50,000 private soldiers. He did not expect that the trip to Shandong would bring such a great gain. With these 50,000 private soldiers in hand, he could easily control Shandong and cooperate with Nanling Jinxing to take Taicheng.

He thought that Nanling Jinxing should be interested in half of Taicheng.

Outside the garden, whether it was the Ninth Prince's personal soldiers or the Black Cavalry, they were all eagerly waiting for the Ninth Prince to come out, or waiting for the signal to attack. From the moment the Ninth Prince went in, their hearts could not calm down. The danger inside was unknown, and the Ninth Prince would truly be risking his life if he went in.

As time passed, the worry grew. If it weren't for the strict discipline of the Ninth Prince, no one would dare to disobey his orders, and the eight generals would have rushed in without caring about anything.

For an hour, there was no movement since the Ninth Prince went in. If he didn't come out, they would all suspect that the Ninth Prince had died quietly in there.

What should I do? What should I do?

The eight generals looked at each other, extremely anxious, but no one dared to move. All of them stared at the gate of Lu Garden, hoping that it would open and the Ninth Prince would walk out.

So, when the gate of Lu Garden opened again, nearly four thousand people looked at the gate first, opened their eyes wide and waited for the people inside to come out.

"Ninth Uncle."

When the Ninth Prince walked out, everyone couldn't help but shout, revealing an ecstasy that they themselves had not even realized.

"Hmm." The Ninth Prince responded calmly. Under the candlelight, the armor on his body reflected a dazzling silver light. There seemed to be a halo surrounding his body, exuding a sacred aura.

"Retreat." Without any reason or explanation, the Ninth Prince gave the order to retreat.

The Third Prince stood outside the hall, watching this scene with a weird smile on his face.

They came fully armed and left fully armed. The Third Prince's men followed them in secret all the way until they were sure that the Ninth Prince had left with his men. Then they turned back and said, "Master, the Ninth Prince's men have left."

"Well, set fire." The Third Prince gave the order coldly, tapping his fingers lightly on the armrest, as if calculating something.

"yes."

As soon as the Ninth Prince stepped into Hua Garden, Lu Garden was engulfed in flames. The flames instantly surrounded the entire Lu Garden, and the people in the garden had already left through the secret passage.

really.

The Ninth Prince stood on a high place, looking at the fire that illuminated half the sky red, with a cold smile in his eyes.

The royal family is ruthless, the emperor is untrustworthy. Brotherly love and the like are all unreliable. He knew that the Third Prince would not surrender, so he reached an agreement with him and then fled in a flash.

"Third brother, I believe that we will meet again soon. You must do what you promised me."

The Ninth Prince turned around and walked down the observation deck, returned to the study, and immediately wrote a memorial to report to the Emperor, telling him that the Third Prince was not dead and was staying at Lu's family in Shandong. He also hinted to the Emperor that those mysterious people in the imperial city were the Third Prince's forces, and that the Third Prince had been lurking in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to commit treason, and that the Hu concubine's fall from the country was the work of the Third Prince.

The Lu family will undoubtedly be put to death for treason, and coupled with the crime of harboring the Third Prince, the Lu family will never be able to turn things around, and Shandong... even if there is chaos, the emperor will take responsibility for everything, and the emperor will never let the Third Prince go.

"Third brother, don't blame me, the ninth brother. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being so unfaithful. I don't think you mind that I sell you to the emperor." The ninth uncle wrote the memorial in one go, sealed it, and asked his subordinates to deliver it to the imperial city at an accelerated speed of 800 miles.

With this memorial, even if he caused chaos in Shandong, the emperor would not do anything to him. The emperor was a thorn in the Third Prince's heart, and the Third Prince was also a thorn in the emperor's heart. The two of them were truly at war to the death.

At the same time, Feng Qingchen and Su Wenqing ran into the Third Prince and his entourage who had just escaped from the Lu family outside the city.

"Third Prince, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Feng Qingchen sat on the horse's back and looked at the Third Prince who came out of the secret passage with a charming smile.

The sparks were blinding. As soon as the Third Prince came out, he found himself surrounded by people. The leader was actually a woman in armor. A flash of shock flashed across the Third Prince's eyes and he asked, "Are you Feng Qingchen?"

The change on the Third Prince's face was very subtle, and if Feng Qingchen hadn't been paying attention to him, she would have missed it.

Feng Qingchen dismounted and saluted to the Third Prince: "I am Feng Qingchen. It's our first meeting. Please give me your guidance, Third Prince."

Feng Qingchen's purpose is self-evident as he brought a large group of people to block here at this time.

The Third Prince cannot escape tonight. He must fulfill his promise with the Ninth Uncle and go to the Imperial City with the Ninth Uncle!
