Chapter 245: Winning Means Applause and Flowers, Losing Means Being Fried in a Pan!

"Why?" Tang Bandit looked puzzled and asked aloud: "Is it because of the conflict between me and Yu Huoshui? You also know what happened between us. There was some unpleasantness when Bailu recruited new people."

"I had forgotten about that thing a long time ago. I didn't expect that he would still keep it in mind and think about revenge all the time. He would mock me whenever he found an opportunity."

"Just now he said that I have thousands of favors in one body. Didn't I just get your favor? He was calling me a soft-spoken pretty boy. Can't I hear it?"

"."

"Because of this, he wants to harm me? Isn't it possible? He is a relative of the emperor and a well-known big shot in Phoenix City. He doesn't even have this kind of magnanimity?"

"It's not just because of this matter." Phoenix said with a serious expression, "Now the situation has become very complicated, and you accidentally got involved."

"Is there anything else?" Tang Bandit looked at Fenghuang and asked in confusion.

Fenghuang was silent for a moment, but decided to tell Tang Bandit the truth, and said in a deep voice: "My eldest brother and second brother are going to fight."

"A fight?" Tang Bandit was stunned for a moment and said, "What are they two fighting for? Weren't they sitting together drinking just now? Are they going to fight just because they said a few angry words?"

Fenghuang thought that Bandit Tang could only see some one-sided things. If he relied on these things as a reference, it would be impossible to accurately judge the current situation.

For the sake of Tang Bandit's safety, she had to reveal some royal secrets to him, and said aloud: "Some things happened before, which made my eldest brother suspect that the second brother wanted to harm him. The eldest brother is the prince, if anything happens to him, The second brother is likely to take his place."

"Why not 伱?" Tang Biao said with a playful smile, "I think you are much better than the two of them, and it would be good to be a queen. I have already chosen a name for you, Xiu Xue I, what do you think? Sample?"

Phoenix shook his head and said: "Although various countries have been advocating equality between men and women hundreds of years ago, when it comes to matters such as imperial power and family rights, the priority of each family and clan is still the eldest son and grandson of the family, the male heir, and the smoothness of the female heir. Seats have to be in the back row. This kind of thing can’t be changed for a while, and I can’t change it on my own.”

"What a pity." Tang Bandi shrugged his shoulders and said, "I thought that if you became the queen, I could hold your thigh, eat well and drink spicy food all day long, eat and wait for death, who would even look at me? , I’ll beat him up.”

"Brother, what about me?" Xiaopang asked anxiously from the side.

"You hold my thigh. When I fly upward, I will naturally carry you with me."

"Okay." Xiaopang was satisfied, grabbed an orange and started peeling it.

He was eating when Tang Bandit left, and he was still eating when Tang Bandit came back.

He was eating cakes when Tang Bandi left. After Tang Bandit came back from walking around the Zhongtianque courtyard, he started eating fruit.

"No chance." Phoenix shook his head again and said, "I have never thought about this kind of thing, and I don't want to get involved."

"The eldest brother is the prince, the crown prince of the country designated by his father. This is good. It is established from the beginning, and there will be no sibling discord."

"However, since the last incident, the relationship between the two of them has become very strange. They seem to be closer than before, but"

"I know them too well. Their intimacy is perfunctory and staged. They are worried that others will see that they are not getting along and do it forcefully."

"Excessive force." Tang Bandit described it accurately.

"Yes, it was just too much force. At that time, I started to worry. I was afraid that it would affect the relationship between the brothers and cause chaos within the royal family."

"But I think that my father should already know what I can see. Besides, I am their sister, so it is hard for me to do anything in the middle to avoid causing them misunderstanding."

"I didn't expect that such a delay would actually cause the two of them to quarrel on the spot. As soon as today's incident became fermented, the entire empire knew that the eldest brother and the second brother were at odds."

"In this way, things will develop into a very dangerous situation. At that time, even if you want to, you can't pull it back."

"What happened to the two of them?" Tang Bandit asked aloud: "Can't you help mediate?"

"this."

Fenghuang looked embarrassed. She really couldn't tell her that her second brother had put a "Prince of Diarrhea" on her elder brother's forehead.

She also felt it was too shameful.

"If it's not convenient, forget it." Tang Bandit said with a considerate look: "I'm not very interested in this kind of thing. The fight between the eldest prince and the second prince is something I can't get involved in, and I don't dare to get involved. That is a family matter for your royal family. I believe that with the wisdom of the current ruler, all problems can be solved with a few moves. "

"I'm just curious. This is obviously a fight between the two of them. Why do you think I'm in danger?"

Fenghuang looked at Tang Bandit and said: "In the past, I also agreed that you and Big Brother should get closer and closer. After all, he is the crown prince and the future king of the country. The honor and disgrace of you and Xiaopang are all in Big Brother's thoughts."

"Yes, that's no problem. I understand your good intentions, so I have been working hard to get closer to your elder brother recently." Tang Bandit nodded and said: "Why is there danger again? Are you afraid that the second brother will snatch it away? Big brother’s position?”

Phoenix shook her head and said, "It's natural for you to get close to Big Brother. But think about it carefully, why is Big Brother trying to get you close in every way?"

Tang Fei looked at Fenghuang and said, "Isn't it because of your face? Isn't it because you help to intercede?"

"For people like them, I can help to intercede in small matters. But when it comes to big things like the struggle for imperial power, my words are not so useful."

"So, he did this to make me help him work?" Tang Fei couldn't keep playing dumb, he understood the truth that too much is as bad as too little.

After all, he just gave the Zhong brothers a comment of "overdoing it".

"Yes." Fenghuang nodded and said, "Moreover, it is a job that ordinary people can't do."

"."

"Think about it, my brother has been the crown prince for many years, and there are countless talented people around him. Although my father is still in power, they dare not surrender to my brother openly for the sake of my father's emotions, but there are still many talents who are loyal to my brother secretly? Why did they choose you?"

"Because I have no foundation, I am innocent."

"Yes, it is because you are innocent. You are not affiliated with the nine major families, nor are you a child of any party, so he can use you boldly."

"But I am not innocent either." Tang Fei said very dissatisfiedly: "I am the princess's man. Who in the empire doesn't know that I am your man?"

"."

"That's right." Xiaopang was eating pearl dragon fruit, his face full of red juice, and he echoed: "Everyone knows that my brother is Sister Fenghuang's man. Without Sister Fenghuang, we can't come to Xinxing."

"Eat your food well." Fenghuang knocked Xiaopang on the head and said aloud.

Influenced by a bad guy, she also likes to knock on Xiaopang's head.

"Oh." Xiaopang nodded and continued to eat.

"It's true that you are my person, but things are not as simple as you think." Fenghuang looked at Tang Fei and said, "I am just a princess. If I don't manage politics and the army, how much say can I have? If I don't have the love of my father and the care of my brother, what can I do for you?"

"So, I hope you will go to my eldest brother and get closer to him. But I am very worried that he will make you do something very dangerous if he tries so hard to win you over."

Tang Fei understood what Fenghuang meant and asked directly, "Are you worried that your eldest brother's purpose of winning me over is to hurt your second brother?"

He knew that since Fenghuang was willing to say this to him, she was really speaking from the bottom of her heart. This silly girl really regarded herself as her own person.

Otherwise, she only needed to remind herself implicitly. Why would she need to explain the twists and turns in the middle to herself?

She even did not hesitate to tell the scandals within their royal family.

Fenghuang looked at Tang Fei and said, "This possibility cannot be ruled out."

"Your eldest brother tried to win me over and wanted me to do that dangerous thing. If I didn't agree, I wouldn't be able to hand in my name, I wouldn't be one of his own, and I wouldn't be able to become his confidant. Once I did it, I might become a dead man."

Just kidding, who would be willing to do something like assassinating the prince?

The two brothers fought to the death, and that was an internal struggle among the royal family.

If I got involved and really killed the second prince, then what would the royal family think? What would Zhong Daolong think?

There was only one way to die waiting for me.

At that time, it was simply a foolish dream to expect the eldest prince to protect me.

In order to prove his innocence, he was afraid that he would throw himself out at the first time, just like throwing away a useless pawn

"You can see the problem, your second brother naturally understands it. Therefore, they will always be on guard against me and target me. They will find a way to get rid of me if they have a chance."

Tang Fei smiled bitterly and asked, "Is that right?"

Fenghuang was speechless.

Tang Fei had already guessed all the results.

Tang Fei pulled Xiao Pang's arm and left, saying, "No more playing, no more playing. You royal family members are too cunning. We can't play anymore, let's hide, okay? I'll hide under the mountain and never come down again."

Xiao Pang held the watermelon with a confused look on his face. Why did he leave for no reason?

I haven't finished eating my watermelon yet.

"Tang Fei." Fenghuang shouted.

Tang Fei turned to look at Fenghuang and asked, "If you were me, what would you do? What can you do?"

Fenghuang looked at Tang Fei with an apologetic look and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect things to develop to this point."

"Why do you say sorry? You're not sorry to me." Tang Fei waved his hand and said, "If it weren't for your early warning, I wouldn't have thought of these things at all. I didn't expect it to be so complicated."

"But now the problem has arisen, we have to find a solution. You are also a member of the royal family, and you are smarter than the two of us. Can you help us think about what we should do now?"

"Xiao Pang and I don't want to be successful, we just want to live a stable life? Can we just live well?"

"I tell you this just to discuss solutions to the problem with you." Fenghuang gritted his teeth and said firmly, "No matter what, I will protect you."

——

Zhong Daolong held a big cigar in his mouth, and his whole face was hidden in the thick smoke, making it difficult to see his emotional changes at this time.

"Tearing it apart in public? Each one's wings have grown hard? Do you think I'm dead?"

Chen Fenglei hunched his body and said with a smile: "Maybe it's just a little temper among young people, and it will get better after a while."

"Having a little temper? Do you think it's Zhong Tianque who's having a little temper or Zhong Tianyi who's having a little temper? Are they the kind of people who have a little temper?"

"."

silence.

He didn't dare to answer this question.

No matter who hears it, it will not bring good results to him.

A slave is a slave, how can he dare to interfere in his master's family affairs?

Zhong Daolong took another puff of his cigar and hissed: "The best way to deal with it is to pretend that nothing happened. The more I ignore it, the more unsure they will be."

"Let them have a showdown, and the winner will inherit the position under my butt, and the loser will be left to the winner. It's better than hiding hatred and desire in your heart, don't you think?"

"The Lord Qiankun is arbitrary. I think they will understand the Lord's painstaking efforts."

"They won't understand. How can they understand something that we ourselves don't understand?" Zhong Daolong said with a smile: "Since they want to act, then I, the old father, will go down and act with them. "

After pondering for a while, he said aloud: "Let someone call Er Er first. I'll listen to his explanation first."

"Yes, Lord." Chen Fenglei agreed, turned around and went out to arrange work.

Soon, Zhong Tianyi was invited over.

Zhong Daolong pointed to the sofa opposite and said, "Sit down, let's chat as father and son."

Zhong Tianyi did not dare to sit down, lowered his head, and said with a guilty look on his face: "I know I have made my father sad, and my son knows his mistake."

"You know you're wrong?" Zhong Daolong raised his head to look at Zhong Tianyi and asked with a smile.

"I know I was wrong."

"Will you do it again in the future?"

"Never do it again."

Zhong Daolong sighed and said, "If you can say these words, it proves that you still have no intention of telling the truth to me."

"Father."

Zhong Daolong pointed to the seat opposite and said, "Sit down."

"Yes, father."

Zhong Daolong looked at Zhong Tianyi sitting opposite and said, "Tell me, what is going on?"

"Actually, it's just a small matter. It was originally just a small friction between Yu Huoshui and Tang Bandit."

"Tang Bandit?" Zhong Daolong's eyes narrowed slightly and he asked aloud: "Is there anything else about Tang Bandit?"

"The whole thing started because of him. When Bailu was recruiting new people, didn't he use some small tricks to eliminate Yu Huoshui? Later he took the opportunity to join Bailu and became a disciple under the Grand Master."

"Since then, he has become even more arrogant and domineering, and has always been at odds with Yu Huoshui. Today, my eldest brother invited him to a party. After he went, he sat directly next to Yu Huoshui and made sarcastic remarks to Yu Huoshui."

"The two of them started to quarrel. I was sitting next to Yu Huoshui. I really couldn't stand his arrogance, so I said something to Yu Huoshui."

"Then why did you and your elder brother have a dispute?"

"My eldest brother and I didn't have any dispute. It's just that my eldest brother felt that I said something wrong and scolded me a few times. With so many people watching, my son was so thin that he really couldn't get off the stage, so he left the meeting early."

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple." Zhong Tianyi pointed at Chen Fenglei and said, "If father doesn't believe it, you can ask Chen Fenglei to investigate."

Zhong Daolong raised his head, looked at Zhong Tianyi's expression thoughtfully, and asked, "Don't you have any other ideas?"

"Other thoughts?" Zhong Tianyi said with a smile: "We are all a family, what thoughts can I have? The noise will be over soon. Who can really hold a grudge?"

"Why are there rumors outside that you are interested in your brother's position as crown prince and want to replace him?" Zhong Daolong asked with a faint smile on his lips.

thump!

Zhong Tianyi knelt on the ground with a frightened look on his face and said nervously: "Father, my son definitely has no such idea. My eldest brother and I are brothers. Although we have occasional frictions, we can be regarded as brothers and sisters, and we get along very harmoniously. ”

"It is natural and natural for the eldest brother to sit in that position. I know how much the eldest brother has paid for it over the years."

"And I am an unlucky person. I am greedy for drinking and fun, and I am uneducated and incompetent. I have no ability or qualifications to compete with my elder brother for that position."

"Whenever I have the slightest thought like that, I will be struck by thunder and let my father do whatever he wants."

"Okay, okay." Zhong Daolong waved his hand and said, "We are just chatting casually. Why are you so nervous? If you really want to do it, you can tell me directly and I can give you a chance."

"Let you practice in various cabinet departments to see if you have this ability. I have been a little lax in discipline over the years and have been in a state of free rein. I really don't know if you have this brush."

Zhong Tianyi's heart was beating hard, but he knew that he could never admit it at this time.

Even to death I couldn't admit that I had the slightest idea about that position.

"Father, I really don't have that kind of idea, and I am indeed not that material. If you put me in those important ministries, wouldn't that delay the military and state affairs? I really can't afford it."

Zhong Daolong stared at the top of Zhong Tianyi's head and remained silent for a long time.

Zhong Tianyi prostrated himself on the ground, not daring to breathe.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhong Daolong sighed softly and said, "If you don't want to, I won't force you to take that position. It's not that easy to sit on."

"If you want to be an idle prince, you will naturally be rich and prosperous for the rest of your life. If you have other ideas, you have to leave it to fate. If you win, you'll get applause and flowers, and if you lose, you'll be fried in a pan."
