Chapter 18 Chapter 18

However, the two did not get out of Chengjing.

Because the hidden guards around the emperor who was born in Huangzhuang came, and brought a bad news-the first emperor rebuked the vassal king who left Beijing and rebelled against the king.

Xie Hengzhi and Xie Du were both shocked when they heard the news. The acting king was demoted from Beijing because he failed to fight for the crown prince. How could he hold the military power?What is the use of such a polished commander if he turns his back on him?The secret guard only said that he had followed the emperor's secret order and only came to invite people, and he didn't know anything else.

After all, Xie Hengzhi couldn't just sit idly by, he rushed back and brought Xie Du into the palace as soon as he had packed his bags, but the first thing he saw was the crown prince, and then he asked about the emperor, only to find out that the emperor had been lingering on the sick bed and sleeping for many days.

The rebellion against Dai Wang is because the fifth and sixth princes escaped from the capital and hooked up with the Beiyi tribe north of Dai Kingdom. Currently, Dai Wang is the commander in chief, with the fifth prince as the emperor and the sixth prince as the emperor's younger brother. He became ill in the name of "killing the king with the sixteenth prince and not reporting it".

——It was simply a farce, but it was precisely because the emperor was seriously ill that he did not wake up, which gave them an opportunity.

Xie Hengzhi blamed himself very much.

In his eyes, even if his father didn't talk about his status as the emperor, he was still a dignified person. When did he think that his father would lie unconscious on the couch one day?And because he didn't grow up under the emperor's lap since he was a child, he cared far less for his father and brother, and he only enjoyed their pampering. Now... what should he do?

Xie Du, who was by his side, also saw everything, remembering that when the emperor was seriously ill and the crown prince couldn't take care of him, the master just ignored these things, and felt that he was simply... a disaster, even if he was not outstanding in appearance.

Even when Xie Hengzhi was thinking about what he should do, he didn't forget Xie Du. From his expression, he could tell how entangled he was. He looked up at the prince and asked to send troops.

The crown prince didn't allow it. Firstly, Xie Hengzhi was weak since he was a child. Although he couldn't see it now, as a brother, how could he let his younger brother take risks; secondly, he had never heard that this little brother had a reputation as a good soldier.It’s just that there are too many mysteries in Xie Hengzhi. The token left by Master Shanming allows him to mobilize the eighteen knights who are known as the Buddhist soldiers who protect the country, plus the unassigned dead soldiers from Huangzhuang... Xie Hengzhi’s oral skills are really brilliant. The prince allowed it.

It's just that before sending out troops, he still has something to say to Xie Du.
