Chapter 25 Identity
Qingyan didn't know what expression he should have at this moment. After a brief period of loss of consciousness, he quickly stood up and wanted to salute, but was pressed by Wang Xiaojing beside him.
The latter said helplessly, "Qingyan, you and I have always been brothers all the time. If there is no outsider here, there is no need to be polite. And since Brother Dong has already made it clear, then I will just say it. I am the current prince of Emperor Ling of Southern Zhao - Zhao Jing, who is one year older than you. Wang Xiaojing is the pseudonym for my trip this time." After a pause, he continued, "Brother Qingyan, I stopped Brother Dong not for anything else. You also met the assassins in the birch forest on the eve of the past. I didn't tell my identity for your safety. The less I know, the better. I hope I won't be surprised."
After Zhao Jing finished speaking, he picked up the wine bowl and drank it all.
Seeing that Zhao Jing was so free and easy, Qingyan stopped refusing to sit down. Dong Tie smiled at the sky and said, "That's right. Since we met Brother Qingyan, the names we named made me extremely uncomfortable. Now I can finally be myself quickly."
After drinking a bowl of wine, Dong Tie wiped the corner of his mouth and continued, "Brother Qingyan, don't listen to what Zhao Jing said nicely. In fact, our emperor has four princes. Except for the eldest prince who died at a young age, his fourth prince Zhao Jing is the most in power. So don't look at his noble status, it's actually all false."
After hearing this, Zhao Jing also smiled helplessly and continued to drink.
Qing Yan was a little confused, "Is Brother Dong's words a bit alarmist? No matter what, he is the fourth prince of Emperor Ling, and the extremely noble Prince of the King of Wu. Even if he is a little incompetent, he may not be as stated by Brother Dong."
"Brother Qingyan, you are not in Jinling, so you don't know. Both King Zheng and King Pei are much more powerful than him. Although the entire court ministers on the surface are following the leader of the Ling Emperor, but he is old and poor in good health, so of course the civil and military officials under his command have to take the team in advance. But somehow, none of the officials leaned against Zhao Jing. Apart from the fairly grand Wu Palace, there is a lonely mansion. It's really evil."
Maybe it was not enough to drink, Dong Tieju abandoned the bowl and exchanged the jar and took a big sip. "I am not interested in the power schemes in Jinling City. Let me tell you, brother. My real name is Dong Qi. I am the prince of the Lingnan Prince's Mansion. I am three months older than you. My sister is called Dong Zhao and has the title of Princess Nishang. She is three years younger than you. This year, she is sixteen. This year, I planned to have only two brothers and sisters. However, Zhao Jing got the news from somewhere. My sister and I were blocked by him as soon as we arrived in Xiangzhou."
Zhao Jing put the wine bowl hard on the table and cursed with a smile, "You said that the Prince of Lingnan has a lifetime of reputation, why did you have a confused son? The little thoughts between you and Dong Zhao were already known by the Prince of Lingnan three months ago. During that time, I happened to go to Lingnan for my father to do the job. By chance, I got this news, so I waited for you in Xiangzhou."
"What? My father knows this?" Dong Yan said with a shocked look on his face. Obviously, it was no secret that he did not believe in his careful planning, and the person who should not know the least had an insight into his intentions at the first time.
When Zhao Jing saw Dong Feng like the eggplant beat by Shuang, he felt very relieved and said, "Although I don't know why the Prince of Lingnan did not stop you, according to my guess, although the King of Lingnan is not as good as the King of Lingnan, he is definitely a hero. I guess since he knows that you and Dong Zhao want to go out and have a chance to go out and experience it alone."
After hearing the whole story, Qingyan nodded, "Your Highness of the King of Wu". Before Qingyan finished speaking, Dong Zhao interrupted, "Everyone said you don't have to care about these false rituals, why do you still speak the King of Wu? Then you might as well kneel down and talk to him with respect, hum! Pretends."
Seeing Dong Zhao sarcastically sarcasticizing himself without any concealment, Qingyan was somewhat embarrassed, "Then I will call Brother Jing. I think if it is true as Brother Jing expected, the Prince of Lingnan would not send anyone to guard the situation on the surface, but would definitely arrange personnel in secret. He would never show up to help until the real crisis."
Zhao Jing nodded with a smile and said, "That's right, if the Prince of Lingnan really intends to train you brother and sister, he will never interfere easily unless he has to. However, although this training is the purpose, if something unexpected happens, the Prince of Lingnan will never agree."
After a brief trance, Dong Yan listened to Qingyan and the other two analyses, he murmured, "I tried my best to plan for a few months. I thought everything was in control, but I didn't expect that my father had already known it. It seemed that there would be a beating when he went back this time." After saying that, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Then according to your opinion, if Brother Qingyan had not sacrificed his life to save me, my sister would not have any danger, right?"
Qingyan and Zhao Jing nodded at the same time.
"It seems that Brother Qingyan, your sword is in vain. It hurts you even if you think about it." After saying that, Dong Yan raised the wine jar. But just as he was about to sit down, the chair under his butt was kicked out by Dong Zhao beside him, so the former sat on the ground without any warning.
Dong Zhao stared at his beautiful eyes and shouted, "What does that sword mean to be in vain? These are their guesses. Who can guarantee that the father really sent someone to protect us? If they were wrong, if there was no Qingyan that night, your sister would have no life to sit here." Dong Yan got up from the ground and smiled and said, "Yes, yes, my sister is right. Qingyan is the most important thing, and the most important thing is to make a contribution."
"I can't hear that Qingyan is not good at all"
"What did you say? Say it again!"
Dong Yan quickly waved his hand and said, "I didn't say anything. I said Qingyan did well, but he did it very well." Then he quickly sat next to Qingyan and hugged his shoulders. Zhao Jing also smoothed out and said, "Yes, Dong Zhao said it well, these are just my guesses and Qingyan. If Qingyan had not been desperate that night, the consequences would be unimaginable. Moreover, no one showed up to help after the Qingyan brother was injured. I think the Prince of Lingnan had not sent anyone to secretly protect him."
After hearing Zhao Jing's words, Dong Zhao's expression improved a little. After a snorting, he continued to play with Ah Dai.
Qingyan asked the doubt in his heart at this time and said, "These are all things Qingyan should do, if you two would probably be the same, but then again, I am probably clear about Brother Dong and Miss Dong now, but as the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand on a dangerous wall. Brother Jing, you are the prince, why don't you?"
"What's that? Brother Qingyan wouldn't want to say, why is my fourth prince of Ling Emperor and King Wu of Southern Zhao now traveling around like a homeless man?" Zhao Jing interrupted Qingyan's words and said to himself, "Brother Dong has a saying that is right. My identity as a prince sounds extremely noble, but in my own opinion, it is not as pleasant as the child from the common people's family."
Qingyan did not respond immediately, but fell silent. He also knew that the intrigue of the royal family in the palace would only be more bloody and tragic than he had imagined. Qingyan somehow raised his arm and patted Zhao Jing on the shoulder.
Zhao Jing gave a bowl of wine and said sighingly, "Since I can remember, there are countless servants around me who serve me. At first I felt very proud, but as I grow older, the faces of those people make me more and more disgusted and scared. I know that these people are respectful to me on the surface, but in fact they are all like an invisible knife that kills people, hanging over my head every day and night, and they will fall down at some point."
Speaking of this, Zhao Jing raised his head and looked out the window, "Just when I was alive like a walking corpse, a man appeared. I clearly remember that in the summer of ten years old, I was bored at the Royal Garden, and a little boy suddenly appeared in front of me. This surprised me very much. Although I was not old at that time, there was no boy in the entire Taichu Palace except me, so I went up to ask about his identity. But he threw me down without saying a word, and his little fist hit me like a strong wind and rain."
A faint smile appeared on Zhao Jing's lips, "We have been fighting for a long time, thanks to my servants before, but fortunately no one noticed us. Later, when we were tired of fighting, we lay on the ground and gasped. Is that right, Brother Dong?"
When Dong Jian heard Zhao Jing calling him, he looked embarrassed and said, "What do you say about these things? They are all things that are like Chen Zhimao. In the final analysis, he was young and ignorant at that time. He only thought that the King of Side by Side by the Royal Family, and thought that as long as the royal bloodline was, he would be as brave as the King of Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by Side by
Zhao Jing's smile became stronger and stronger, "Maybe you just wanted to fight me at that time, but you didn't expect that the fight with you made me open my heart and understand that not only these puppets and puppets in the inner courtyard of the palace, but also interesting boys outside the palace who were about the same age as me. Therefore, I regard you as my best friend in life, and I also want to go to the outside world to take a look."
"Stay away from the power of the palace, stay away from intrigue, stay away from the royal family's war. Over the years, I have always wanted to stay away from these, so I beg my father to hand over the errands to me for the errands." Zhao Jing suddenly paused at this point, his tone was a little miserable, "But even so, even if I am so uncontested, the prince's shackles on my head have been firmly followed me and can never be escaped. The night of Baihualin made me fully understand this principle."
Qingyan was not surprised too much when he heard this. He only had sympathy and helplessness for Zhao Jing. Just as he said in front of Lao Zhang's tomb, who could be safe in this troubled world? Everyone is an incoming game. It is impossible to surpass this chess game, but it is difficult to control the chess game, let alone Zhao Jing is in the most dangerous whirlpool in the chess game.
Dong Jian felt the atmosphere a little solemn, and picked up the wine jar and said, "Zhao Jing, just like you said, after that fight, I will also regard you as my best friend. You are not a prince, and I am not a prince. We are happy and happy with each other. I know that we can't persuade you. I just hope that you can be a prince of peace in the future and we will drink and talk for the rest of our lives."
Zhao Jing may also know that he was a little out of control. After rubbing his face hard, he smiled and said, "That's right, this trip is not only very pleasant, but also fortunate to meet Brother Qingyan. I can still remember what Brother Qingyan said in the White Birch Forest. Now I am extremely moved by the capital of Sizhi. For this, I have to respect Brother Qingyan for a bowl." After that, he handed the wine bowl in front of him.
"Wait."
At this time, Dong Zhao put A Dai on his legs, took an empty bowl and poured it all over the wine and said, "I'm a lady."
Qingyan felt the eyes of the three of them and raised the wine bowl and said, "You are all extremely noble, but thanks to Buqiu, sitting at the same table with Qingyan and drinking fine wine together, Qingyan will no longer be pretentious. May our friendship last forever and do it!"
