Chapter Volume 5 18
Not much longer, Yong Yi approached his horse and stood in front of them.
With a distance of three meters, he shouted. "Is the presence of the King of Xi Rei in front of me?" After finishing, he turned his body and got off his horse, cheered loudly: "I heard that the King of Xi Rei wants to come to Dong-Fan, and he will venture into Yong Yin along the way. Yong Yi waited for you here. long time."
Feng Ming's heart groaned, upon hearing the meaning of this, the prince did not seem to have received the order of the King of Yong Yin to welcome them, but seemed to find them on purpose to block his path.
Rong Hu and they also have the same thought and everyone's eyes spilled over Rong Tian.
Rong Tian suddenly laughed and got off his horse to answer: "Sorry for making the Crown Prince wait so long, Rong Tian feels very guilty inside."
When he saw Rong Tian get off his horse, everyone behind him did the same. Chiu Lan approached Feng Ming and whispered: "The eyes of this crown prince Yong Yi seem to be swollen, as if he had cried for a while."
Feng Ming looked closely; in fact, Yong Yi's face was not pleasant: "Could it be that this morning, he quarreled with Lie-Er and cried, therefore, Lie-Er is not present?"
Chiu Yue knew that Feng Ming was just saying that to comfort Rong Hu, so they nodded: "That's right. Duke Ming got a point. With Lie-Er's temper, everyone would argue with him. They must have fought today, for that is that Lie-Er did not want to follow the Crown Prince. "
Rong Hu knew that everyone was trying to comfort him, showed his appreciation and smiled at Chiu Yue, lowered his voice and said: "Duke Ming, don't worry, let's ask clearly and we'll keep talking."
No one else said anything else and focused their attention on Rong Tian and Yong Yi.
Yong Yi's pale face focused his attention on watching Rong Tian with a complicated look, after a while he laughed hesitantly: "King of Xi Rei is still as good as before, making everyone feel happy. Yong Yi waited here , just to wish a small amount of free time from the King of Xi Rei during the passage, share a drink and remember the glorious moments of the Aman river incident as before. Unfortunately, the wine had been prepared at the inn later, I hope that King Xi Rei and Duke Ming can join me. "
Rong Tian turned around and exchanged glances with Feng Ming, and nodded: "Sounds good."
They arrived at the inn, where they arranged the wine and food before, but the banquet was not held in the hall, but in a remote and silent hall, and they did not prepare songs and dances as usual.
Rong Tian and Feng Ming were sitting on opposite sides, Rong Hu and the maids stayed behind in the back, and the guards were ordered to guard outside. The crown prince sat on the main end, did not even bring any servants.
The air in the room was a bit calm and cold, and Yong Yi was the only one who served drinks and drank them, causing everyone else to burn in advance, but not knowing what to do. At that moment, Yong Yi looked at Feng Ming and laughed: "Please, excuse me, Duke Ming, Yong Yi is not someone who is normally addicted to wine, it's just today ... Oh, my mood today it's not really good. "
Feng Ming's heart was about to jump from his chest, silently feeling that something was not right.
Rong Tian took a drink of wine and swallowed it, stared at Yong Yi: "Do you know that?"
Everyone's minds were tense.
Yong Yi silently looked at Rong Tian for a moment and then asked softly: "What does the King of Xi Rei think?" Laughing softly for a while and then suddenly he got serious, he lowered his voice. "I can't believe that the King of Xi Rei did tricks and used a loyal bodyguard to come up with a sad game like this, ha ha, so pitiful."
There was a silence in the guest room. Chiu Lan shifted a few centimeters, held Rong Hu's hand tightly and suddenly realized that his hand was soaked in cold sweat.
"If Lie-Er were not fully dedicated to the Crown Prince, then this would have become a pitiful game." Feng Ming sneaked into the conversation: "However, to compensate for Lie-Er's affection, the Crown Prince only sees it as a pitiful game, I don't see it that way."
Everyone looked towards Feng Ming.
Feng Ming stood up and walked calmly towards Yong Yi and stopped, looking into his eyes. He said very seriously: "Xi Rei's army is twice as strong as Yong Yin, Lie-Er is a confidant of the Great King, with a bright future, but he chose to come to Yong Yin despite the danger, don't you understand the Crown Prince for whom he did everything? "
Yong Yi can't resist Feng Ming's gaze, the resentment in him also disappeared. He concentrated again and lamented: "Everyone can say anything, but he came to Yong Yin to divide the kingdom, this definitely cannot deny it."
Rong Tian took the opportunity to ask: "How does the Crown Prince know that that was Lie-Er's purpose?"
I didn't know what Yong Yi was thinking, but he kept quiet, and then replied: "He told me personally."
"Ah?"
"That?"
This time, even Rong Tian was also surprised: "That's Lie-Er for you ..." Suddenly he laughed, turned around and looked at Rong Hu: "Your brother is a straight person. Rong Hu, give me the sword on your back. "
Rong Hu quickly drew his sword and raised it.
Rong Tian received the sword and placed it on the table, his face darkened, he stared at Yong Yi and spoke coldly: "After Lie-Er told you everything, what was your response?"
Yong Yi asked backwards: "If I were the King of Xi Rei, how would you respond?"
Without hesitation, Rong Tian quickly replied: "I see nothing wrong if Feng Ming personally asked me to renounce conquering the world and to give him everything Xi Rei." Feng Ming looked at Rong Tian with surprise and his throat closed.
Rong Hu couldn't contain the words and quickly asked, "What did you do with Lie-Er?"
The sword stirred. With her in hand Rong Tian said: "Please excuse me, Crown Prince. I promised Lie-Er that if the Crown Prince did not treat him well, I will definitely make Crown Prince receive the consequences with this sword."
A pair of hands from behind extended and placed themselves gently on the sword. Rong Tian turned around, it was Feng Ming.
Feng Ming shook his head: "You are wrong, majesty."
"Why?" Rong Tian said surprised.
"Even if Lie-Er will face problems, he will definitely not want the Great King to harm the Crown Prince. Also, if the openness of the Crown Prince causes Lie-Er pain, then Lie-Er's vision of seeing people it's quite limited. " Feng Ming turned to Yong Yi and said: "Am I right?"
Yong Yi said nothing for a long moment and finally shook his head and sighed: "Duke Ming is quite impressive." He poured himself another drink and laughed loudly as he remembered: "Lie-Er told me that if I really care about him, I should follow him and never go back to the city. I ... stubbornly refused."
Everyone had guessed that this was the case or they would not have met Yong Yi in this place.
"To tell me everything sincerely, I have never blamed him for a moment. But my father, who has high expectations for me, how I can hide from my responsibilities, to reject him was because he was in a difficult position. If we were together in a place, why should we yearn for another place? "
Feng Ming suddenly asked: "Can I ask the Crown Prince some questions?"
"..." Yong Yi finally nodded: "Duke Ming, please go ahead."
Feng Ming sat in a place where he could speak directly with Yong Yi: "I would like to ask the Crown Prince, become King in something that will make you happy?"
"That is the decision of my father and also the people of Yong Yin ..."
"Then I would like to ask the Crown Prince, within the Yong Yin Kingdom, are there heirs who, due to the throne, hate each other bitterly?"
"That ... is something that cannot be avoided."
"If the Crown Prince does not become the Crown Prince, would the King of Yong Yin have other heirs to the throne?"
"Of course."
"The last question," Feng Ming smiled: "Do you like Lie-Er? If there was a day when the Crown Prince could no longer see Lie-Er, would you be suffering?"
Yong Yi smiled bitterly: "Duke Ming, can't you guess Yong Yi's thoughts?"
Feng Ming asked again: "Lie-Er wholeheartedly thinks of you, haven't you seen him yet?"
Chiu Yue and Chiu Xing were getting impatient and complaining that Feng Ming is asking indirect questions instead of asking directly.
"I do it that way because I want ... to make sure some things with the Crown Prince." Feng Ming straightened up: "One, if the Crown Prince already knew everything, but still intentionally blocks us, do you plan to start a war or have other intentions? Second, since the Prince and Lie-Er knows the wishes of the another, why the sad look on your face? Three ... where did Lie-Er go?
The last one was what everyone wanted to know and everyone's attention was on Yong Yi. for fear of losing any word.
Yong Yi said slowly "He just left a piece of paper, said he received Xi Rei's order, so he needs to comply. If I can't promise him, then he has to find another method."
"Not well." Rong Tian suddenly narrowed his eyebrows and said: "Could Lie-Er want to enter the palace and meet King Yong Yin?"
Yong Yi revealed a slight smile: "It is not surprising that Rong Tian has grown up with Lie-Er. That year, when he entered Yong Yin, using the alias Fu Ju, he received my father's affection. After faking his death, my father was still sad. This time, if he enters the palace, my father will see him as someone who looks like Fu Ju and will keep him close. "
"If he enters the harem of the King, then it will be a disaster."
Feng Ming disagreed and said: "Lie-Er is not someone who puts himself in danger."
Yong Yi nodded: "Duke Ming is right, he did not enter the palace directly, but joined my second brother. Everyone will believe that he is someone who looks like Fu Ju, and take advantage of this to bring happiness to my father. Just looking for the right opportunity, my second brother will definitely give it to my father. "
"Ah!" Feng Ming suddenly realized everything, suddenly became the focus of sight. He patted his forehead and laughed and said "the reason why the Crown Prince moves like this is because you want to ask our soldiers."
Amid everyone's look of surprise, Yong Yi couldn't deny and nodded: "I just wished that the King of Xi Rei could allow me to borrow 5000 soldiers. I can't use my soldiers to attack the Second Brother's residence. I just need to rescue Lie-Er, I won't want the throne. I've already lost it once, I won't lose it again. "
Chiu Yue could not understand and said: "If you wanted to borrow soldiers, Crown Prince should say it frankly, making us worry like that."
Yong Yi took a serious look: "Yong Yi did it because he wanted to see if Lie-Er's loyalty and persistence is worth it. I will not lie to the King of Xi Rei and Duke Ming, this wood throughout this inn is soaked in oil , if the two ignore Lie-Er, treating him like a scapegoat to take advantage of, then it seems that everyone here will not see the rising sun of tomorrow. "
Everyone in the room was silent.
Rong Tian suddenly laughed: "Lie-Er..Lie-Er, your opinion about people is not so bad."
