Chapter 433: The Beautiful Man in Flower

There is indeed a saying in this world that some people are particularly good at writing poetry, such as Luo Binwang; some are particularly good at being a carpenter, such as the public sending squad; some are particularly good at fighting, such as Chen Qingzhi. These people have created their own miracles in their respective fields. Some are able to recite famous poems through the ages with open crotch pants, some can build air transportation vehicles that can last thousands of miles more than a thousand years ago, and some are powerless... But as soon as they go to the battlefield, they immediately become god-level figures, and can support millions with seven or eight thousand people. They will fight against the crowd for a lifetime, but they will be invincible and invincible.

Looking at these great people, we have to admit that talent cannot be achieved by diligence and willingness to learn, so it is really important to know where your talent is and choose the right one...

Of course, he also realized that he was really talented. For example, Qin Lei, with his drastic personality, it should be difficult for him to adapt to Yun Niu's turbulent political struggles, but he just knew it without a master and was familiar with it. It made people have to admit that this guy was born to be a political person.

He smelled the scent of conspiracy from Gu Jun's description. This was an intuition, which had saved his intuition many times. Now, in the extremely dangerous Nan Chu, his whole mind was mobilized, and his intuition became extremely keen.

"The prince was used!" With his intuition, he turned his mind firmly: "He was trapped in a trap. Before taking action, we must first find out what kind of trap this is, who participated, and what their purpose is." In fact, Qin Lei had already guessed in his mind, but he still needed facts to verify his speculation.

The facts did not make him wait too long. Only at night, Zhu Gui brought a ragged beggar from outside.

Qin Lei was not asleep. He was waiting for the person to arrive. With the dim light, he saw that the man had hedgehog-like hair and beard on his scar-scared face. Under the messy hair, there were a pair of firm and calm eyes.

This man is the escort of the Prince's Mansion. Qin Lei's old acquaintance Zhonglikan, a man with only nine fingers. The two met here and there, so naturally they sighed, but now is not the time to sigh. After a simple greeting, Qin Lei asked bluntly: "Why are you here?"

I briefly talk about what happened to Zhonglikan these days. It turned out that he escaped by luck before the ship sank, and relied on his family's qi-keeping skills to sneak two or three miles underwater. Only then did he escape the sight of the secret spy in Nanchu and went ashore to escape in a panic.

If an ordinary person is almost dead and still alive, he will definitely be like a broken dog, and he will escape as far as he can. But a man who can cut off his fingers without changing his face is obviously not an ordinary person. He lurks in the fishing village first, and after he recovers his vitality, he begins to look for the whereabouts of the prince. It is not how deep he has for the prince, but that he believes in a deadly reason - if the person is thrown from me, I must find him back.

With this stubbornness, he finally caught up with a few spys of the Nan Chu who committed the crime that day after half a month. It was not that he had a good memory, but that those people's outfits were so special... from head to toe, they were all white, so how could anyone recognize them?

After silently following him, he returned to the Shenjing City. Finally, he followed those people to an outside of a heavily guarded courtyard in the east of the city. Because he was afraid of being discovered, he did not approach him rashly, but pretended to be a beggar and secretly monitored nearby. Of course, he did not forget to go to the inn every day to see if there were any domestic envoys.

Fortunately, the fight for the throne in Chu has entered a white-hot stage, and everyone's attention is focused on the ring where the two princes fight each other, and no one has noticed a beggar with very regular activities.

After listening to his story, Qin Lei said in a deep voice: "Gu Jun said that the disaster was caused by the thousand-year-old ginseng that the prince gave to Emperor Chu. Do you know who gave it to the prince?"

"I have never seen that person," Zhonglikan recalled: "The prince received a letter that day. After seeing the letter, he hurried out with Beizhi. Later, he arrived at a mansion in Xicheng, and his subordinates called the door. But the servants in the mansion only let the prince enter. Beizhi refused to agree, but the prince insisted on entering, so we guards had to wait at the door. When the prince came out the next day, he saw that he was refreshed, and the sorrow that had been on his face for many days was wiped out, and there was a thousand-year-old ginseng in his hand."

"This idiot! He is so old-fashioned, why do you still trust others so easily?" Qin Lei cursed softly: "Why did he become an old friend to that shitty seventh prince?"

Zhonglikan's mouth twitched, shook his head and said, "After the prince came back, after we asked, he said that the man was his former friend. He couldn't bear to see him trapped in the shallows, so he appeared to give him a guide." He said with anger, "According to the old friend of the prince, Emperor Chu has obtained a prescription that can cure the dragon body, but there is a lack of precious medicinal herbs on it... It is this thousand-year-old ginseng. The man searched in every way and finally spent a huge amount of money to find a branch from the northern border. He thought he could get promoted, but when he saw that His Highness was in trouble, he gave it out, thinking it was for use in getting out of trouble."

Qin Lei shook his head and smiled bitterly, "My second brother is really naive. He was used as a gun." It is obvious that someone wanted Emperor Jingtai to die early, and inexplicably became the prince who murdered Emperor Chu's brother. He was just another eagle shot by this arrow.

"Who wants Emperor Jingtai to die the most in Chu State?" Qin Lei asked and answered: "It should be King Qi Chu Guiyi, because during this guy was serving his sick, he had some stories with his father's wife."

"Do you know this?" Zhonglikan said with wide eyes.

Qin Lei smiled and said, "This is not surprising. You should know that the people of Nanchu love to spread rumors, especially the lovely news."

Zhonglikan smiled bitterly and said, "It's just a rumor, how can you take it seriously?"

Qin Lei shook his head and said, "Wrong, you must know that three people become tigers. As long as they reach Emperor Jingtai's ears, as long as they are still a man, they will definitely go crazy. Even if there is no real evidence, the balance in his heart will tilt towards King Zhou." As he said that, he flashed his fingers and said, "And this matter is hard to explain, so the best way for King Qi to deal with is to knock down Mr. Jingtai without revealing his strength."

Qin Lei said as if he had seen it with his own eyes: "Why must it be him? Because although the old man was sick, he was the emperor of a country. Usually, there were only two results of regicide, one was success and the other was failure..." Everyone was dumbfounded and smiled bitterly in their hearts: "Isn't this nonsense...'

"If you succeed, you may not be able to take over, but if you fail, you will definitely stop. So this is a high-risk and low-reward job. No one will adopt it unless you have to." Qin Lei reached out and knocked on the table, and then said: "So only the King of Qi who saw that the situation was not good can do it, while the King of Zhou who had the advantage will not do it, and he will also prevent the King of Qi from taking the attack. This adds to the difficulty of the King of Qi. After all, the two sides have fought for so many years and have already figured out the bust of the other party's concubine!" Several confidants in the room couldn't help but sweat, thinking: "The prince is really unpolite..."

Seeing his subordinates throwing strange eyes, Qin Lei laughed dryly, "That is to say, there are shrimp soldiers and crab generals on both sides. Everyone is eating dumplings blindly, and they know what they know. So if you want to know, you have to find an outsider who doesn't seem to have any relationship..."

At this time, Zhong Likan shook his head and said, "Although we are incompetent, we will not be so unavailable. The accompanying imperial physician has tested it. The ginseng product is genuine and there is no problem."

Qin Lei shook his head and chuckled, "The imperial doctor of Chu is not a fool. If there is a problem with the ginseng, how could it be given to them to the emperor?" He slapped the table and said, "It is very likely that the problem lies in the prescription! For Emperor Jingtai, it might be a dose of poison!"

Zhu Gui couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Just like the prince, you said, the imperial physician of Chu should be able to check it. If the medicine itself is poisonous, how could he give it to the emperor?"

"There are some things in the world that are supplements for normal people, but for some patients, they are deadly poisons, which is not uncommon." Qin Lei explained softly: "So there is another murderer who murdered Emperor Jingtai, and our poor prince became a poor scapegoat."

Everyone looked at Qin Lei with admiration. It can be said that when they came to a country full of hostility and undercurrents, they were like being in a fog, unable to find east, west, south and north. Even if they had all their strength, they didn't know how to use their strength.

But after the prince peeled off his back, things suddenly became clear... Although it was just a conclusion drawn with the help of little and vague information, at least there was a direction for efforts, right?

"I order!" The prince said lightly, his voice soft but full of majesty.

Several confidants in the room stood up at the same time and bowed and said in a solemn voice: "Listen to the prince's order!"

Qin Lei said in a deep voice: "Zhu Gui ordered the Intelligence Bureau to monitor the two houses mentioned by Zhonglikan around the clock, and be sure to find out who the mastermind behind the scenes is."

"Shi Gan informed Mr. Le to come and meet quickly. I will see him within three days."

"Zhonglikan," Qin Lei smiled and said, "Go and take a shower and have a meal, don't go out again."

Zhonglikan said in surprise: "Why is this? I still want to make atonement for my sins."

Zhu Gui smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lord Zhongli, the prince is protecting you. They must have seen you come in. As long as you go out again, you will be arrested, so you should stay peacefully." Zhonglikan went on unwillingly, and did not mention washing his face and eating.

In a magnificent mansion near the palace, the third son of Emperor Jingtai, the King of Qi, was in his thirties. Mr. Yuan was tall and handsome, and was not as weak as his other brothers. His grandfather was the predecessor of the Chu State, the general of the Shangzhu State. He was highly respected in the military and had a wide connection. His mother was named the Imperial Concubine. After the death of the queen, he was the de facto lord of the harem.

This noble prince followed his uncle to train in the army since he was a child, familiar with military tactics and excellent martial arts skills, and developed a physique that was very different from other brothers. He also had a generous personality, ambitions, and was highly regarded by military generals. It was precisely because of the clear support of these people that he stood out among several competitors and maintained the suspense of the reserve position until now.

But he has always been the second choice in Emperor Jingtai's mind, because he is not the legitimate prince, and his fifth brother, King Chu Gui of Zhou, was.

This made Chu Guiyi, who was arrogant and arrogant, very unhappy. He thought that he would have to endure the prince to death and his second brother would have to beat him down, and it would have been his turn to the crown prince, but he didn't expect that his father would actually be the ill fifth brother... Isn't it just that he has a better background, and the queen's son is amazing? Besides, the old woman has been dead for several years, so why should she pay attention to her face?

If he was dissatisfied, he would complain a lot, and there would be more villains around him. These people like to fan the flames and fear that the world would not be in chaos. I don’t know how many bad things about Emperor Jingtai were. Over time, he really felt that his old man was an irreconcilable enemy and there was no longer any father-son relationship in his heart.

As Qin Lei expected, this powerful King of Qi, Kong Wu, indeed, slept with his concubine. He was really afraid that the matter would be exposed. He wanted to do it all the time and break the old man, and with the support of the Yulin Army, he ascended the throne directly.

But the old saying "being a thief is guilty" is obviously very reasonable. Since doing bad things, His Highness King Qi has been restless every day, poorly eating, and unable to sleep well. He is always worried that things will be exposed and he will be caught and ravaged by his father. In less than two months, he has lost more than 20 kilograms and has lost his whole body. Although outsiders think that this is caused by His Highness King Qi serving the old man who is not untied, and he greatly appreciates him, the pain caused by long-term restlessness in sleeping and eating is always gnawing on his not strong heart.

So he often vents by smashing things and smashes the decorations in the house every day so that he can feel a little more comfortable.

Today was no exception. His Highness of the King of Qi raised a large porcelain bottle high and fell to the ground suddenly. With a bang, the large bottle with ordinary style and low price was smashed to pieces... There was no way. No matter how rich the royal palace was, he could not help but smash it every day. The housekeeper had to wholesale a large amount of civilian porcelain from the market, which was specially used by the prince to relieve his boredom... Fortunately, the King of Qi was not picky.

There was another person in the room. Seeing His Highness King Qi cramps in his face, the man couldn't help but frown slightly, but said that this person looked... so good. But he saw his two bent eyebrows that seemed to be frowning but not frowning, and his eyes that seemed to be happy but not happy. He was filled with sadness in his face, and his delicate body was sick, as quiet as a delicate flower shining on the water, and his actions were like a weak willow to support the wind.

If Qin Lei saw this person, his eyes would fall to the ground. This person actually had a relationship with his old acquaintance and the prince's old acquaintance, which made Gong Liangyu, a handsome man in the south look exactly the same.

However, although Gong Liangyu is handsome, he can still distinguish genders. However, the man or sister in front of him who is dressed in red and green is confused and difficult to distinguish between male and female, which makes people puzzled.

Let's call him "Brother"...

The man stretched out his big hand and lifted the long hair on his forehead, raised the orchid slightly and pointed: "Third brother, I've smashed enough today, you'd better take a break," he said, covering his mouth and chuckled, "Or your housekeeper will feel distressed."

Chu Guiyi was obviously used to his style, threw out the last pen holder in his hand, and said with a grim face: "Lao Qi, when did you think the old man will return to the west? It's been more than a month, why haven't you heard any movement?"

It turns out that this is the seventh prince of Chu State, the King of Longyang, Chu Guima. Although his name is a little angry, he is indeed a real prince. He just doesn't know how he looks like this?

He took out a pink handkerchief embroidered with lotus embroidered from his arms, stepped forward and gently wiped the sweat from King Qi's forehead, and laughed softly: "Stern brother, don't be anxious, don't worry about late meals. After all, the longer the old man's illness is delayed, the less suspicion we will be."

King Qi reached out and gently stroked his pink face, sighed and said, "Xiao Yu said, but Gu was afraid that the old man would wake up suddenly?"

Chu Guima shook her head and said confidently: "Don't worry, third brother, I stolen this prescription from my master. Even if I can't trust me, can you still trust my master?"

Chu Guiyi then looked gentle and said, "The Gu Wang can still trust the skills of the Guigu Immortal Master, so wait." As he said that, he tightened Chu Guimu's waist and gritted his teeth and said, "No mistakes are allowed during this period!"
