Dusk and dusk.

Li Gongpu dressed as an ordinary Confucian scholar. After confirming that no one was paying attention, he got off the car in the secret alley behind Sifang Pavilion, followed the prince Zhan Shi He Man, entered the back door, and Du Mushan followed him.

The Sifang Pavilion is quite large and is full of foreign envoys. The dinner has not yet begun. The prince rests in Cuiyun Pavilion behind the banquet because it is the crown prince of a country, and the security is very tight.

Li Gongpu followed the left bend and walked around the right side soon outside Cuiyun Pavilion. He entered the hall alone. He saw the prince wearing a bright yellow robe studying the chess game on the chess couch. He hurriedly stepped forward to see him. Although he was the second-rank official, he was as humble as a servant:

"My minister, Li Gongpu, pay homage to the crown prince."

Zhao Jinghuan studied the chess game and raised his hand to signal the opposite side:

"No gift, Mr. Li sits there, just take a walk with me, just finish this game of chess."

Li Gongpu sat on the opposite side, his butt only halfway, and looked at the chessboard slightly...

Which fucking trick is this game?!

This is a hammer...

However, Li Gongpu didn't say anything, picked up Bai Zi and let it go without rushing and slowing down:

"Speaking of this, this is the first time that Weichen has spoken up when he sees His Highness becoming an adult."

Zhao Jinghuan's great situation is naturally like a flying move:

"It's not that, when I was six years old, I fell down. Mr. Li rushed in front of the servant and picked me up. He coaxed me a few words at that time. But the father didn't like it, so you stay away from him."

When Li Gongpu heard this, he felt tears filling his eyes:

"It turns out that Your Highness still remembers, alas... I am actually an old slave. I am satisfied with being able to serve the Emperor and even His Highness well. I don't have any ambitions if I don't take charge of the army or take power.

"The Lord of the Lord will give a few words of admonition, and as long as it can make the Lord of the Lord feel comfortable, even if the Lord of the Lord is beaten every day, I will be happy..."

The first sentence of this sentence emphasizes that you have no ambition, while the second sentence emphasizes that you can take the blame.

Zhao Jinghuan knew Li Gongpu’s positioning and responded:

"The father only respects his mother and is diligent in government affairs. It is natural for you to serve him, an elderly man. I have no interest in the things my father likes, and I just want to do my best to be an enlightened king."

"It is a blessing for the prince to have such ambition. However, he should work and rest in addition to government affairs..."

...

After a few words, the two of them made a move, but the situation became a stalemate.

Zhao Jinghuan frowned, and there was a little more surprise in his eyes. He thought about the chess game for a while before he made a move again.

Li Gongpu was still talking, but in the end he was also focused and his eyes were all on the chessboard. The two fought like this for nearly two quarters of an hour before the endgame ended with the prince narrowly winning, well...

A dangerous and refreshing showdown!

Zhao Jinghuan didn't see that Li Gongpu was giving up the chess. After playing the chess game, even the anger that Zhao De was suffering was dispersed. He raised his eyes and looked at the old minister opposite:

"No wonder Mr. Li was able to serve his father for so many years. This chess skills are really good."

Li Gongpu was a little unwilling to accept: "Oh, this endgame is too difficult to solve and cannot be used to the level. Weichen's chess power is more than that. Why don't I accompany Your Highness in the next game?"

Zhao Jinghuan felt that in the next game, he would either win narrowly or be honored even if he lost.

But I can't tell that it's so good to let go of water. I shook my head and smiled:

"Photography, painting, piano and chess are ultimately something to have fun in my spare time. There are many people who have better chess than Mr. Li in the court."

"Haha~ that's natural."

While I was talking, two sounds came from outside the hall:

"Jiji~"

The melodious cry sounds like nothing, but it can be heard very clearly.

The reaction of the prince Zhao Jinghuan was like a motorcycle guy hearing the exhaust sound. Xie Jinhuan heard the beauty moan and almost subconsciously turned his head to look at the source.

"Oh, by the way..."

Li Gongpu seemed to remember something, stood up and walked to the door in small steps, took the bird cage from Du Mushan, and placed it on the chess stand:

"I have only been watching birds recently, but I can't raise them. I brought them to Your Highness today. I wonder if your Highness likes it."

Zhao Jinghuan frowned slightly and hesitated a little before he lifted up the black cloth covering the bird cage.

As a result, a little bird with purple green body appeared in front of her eyes. When she saw a stranger, she spread her wings and her feathers shone with metallic shimmering color, and then:

Sizzle ~

A small purple electric flower, the thickness of a hair, appeared from the tip of the feather, hitting the edge of the bird cage. Although it is the most powerful, the scene is indeed gorgeous and mysterious.

The purple ting bird is a spiritual bird in the mountains and lakes, and it also has the meaning of purple qi coming from the east. As long as you find it, it is usually used as auspicious beasts to pay tribute, which is extremely rare.

Zhao Jinghuan showed surprise when he saw it at first:

"Is this Li Chimo's one?"

When Li Gongpu saw the prince's subtle change in expression, he knew that it was almost 10% true. He smiled and said:

"The prince has good eyesight. The existing Zi Ting Bird in Daqian is less than the number of hands, and this one is the best quality."

Zhao Jinghuan looked at the bird in the cage and teased it with his fingers:

"My father doesn't like me to contact these things, don't Mr. Li know?"

"Know."

Li Gongpu whispered: "But Daqian is only you, the crown prince. No matter what, the burden of the thirty-two states of Daqian will fall on the shoulders of His Highness. No outsiders know about this thing. The prince will keep it in his spare time, so it's okay."

"Oh……"

Zhao Jinghuan teased the little bird for a moment before looking up at Li Gongpu who was bowing down, and thought for a moment, suddenly asked:

"Mr. Li thinks that the time for father is approaching?"

Li Gongpu looked stunned and bowed quickly:

"I dare not. This thing is simply to respect the crown prince..."

"The father and the emperor have the elixirs to protect the father-in-law's tribute, and the dragon body is not hindered."

Zhao Jinghuan covered the black cloth: "But with your cautious personality, you are not sure of this dangerous move, so you should have a trap."

"Um?"

Li Gongpu's eyes looked a little confused.

But at this moment, there were dense sounds of horse hooves on the street outside:

Step on...

Then the rushing footsteps also came to the door, He Meng reported respectfully:

"Your Highness, the Imperial Heavenly Prison, Chilin Guard, and the county government, a large number of people came to the Sifang Hall and said that the Sifang Hall might hide evil spirits and asked the prince if he could enter the city to inspect."

"ah?"

Li Gongpu's face changed suddenly and he stood up immediately:

"Uh...who will retreat for the time being?"

Zhao Jinghuan thought for a while and looked out the window:

"Xie Jinhuan leads the team?"

"right."

Zhao Jinghuan nodded and looked at Li Gongpu:

"This is 'catching turtles in a jar', you can go out by yourself, don't bother the envoys to purify the envoys."

"Your Highness!"

Li Gongpu was shocked and slid directly on the ground, trying to speak but stopped.

Zhao Jinghuan handed over the bird cage:

"Things of the world are like chess, and if you make a mistake, you will never get rid of it. You killed Xie Jinhuan in a game, but Zhou Ming'an died and you didn't catch anyone. Now that someone is making a game, you are really here.

"I surrounded the Sifang Pavilion under the name of "The Evil Hidden" and screened the staff in the Pavilion. It was justified. If I didn't let someone come in, the Imperial Heaven Supervision would ask my father for instructions.

"The father attaches importance to the chaos of the Nether God Cult and appreciates Xie Jinhuan's ability. I can't stop him. If someone comes to you, he will not leave if he doesn't search you today. You are also a smart person. You are still more decent when you go out by yourself."

“…”

Li Gongpu was like falling into an ice cellar, silent and speechless. In the end, he even forgot about etiquette. He hurriedly got up and lifted the bird cage, and ran out...

——

Rumble...

At night, the horses outside the Sifang Pavilion were as thunderous as the horses. The Chilin Guard and even the Imperial Heavenly Supervisor Crown were running on the streets with various magic weapons in hand, searching the surrounding buildings, and hundreds of yamen runners were also guarding the streets.

Cao Huaian, the governor of Chilin Guard, rode a black horse and stood outside the large archway of Sifang Pavilion, with a slightly hesitant look:

"If His Highness the Crown Prince invites foreign envoys to the banquet, if he disturbs Qingjing and doesn't find anything, it's really hard to explain."

Xie Jinhuan was hanging his arms with his arms around him, signaling the black hawk in the sky:
