Chapter 243 Be Honest with Each Other!
When Tang Fei saw Zhong Tianyi leave angrily, he knew that his goal had been achieved.
This trip was fruitful and worthwhile.
In the past, the conflict between Zhong Tianque and Zhong Tianyi was hidden in the dark. The world did not know that the two brothers had a sharp confrontation, and they did not know that the last incident that made Zhong Tianque infamous and earned the notoriety of "diarrhea prince" was caused by Zhong Tianyi.
Of course, even Zhong Tianyi himself did not know that there were other forces behind this incident.
Today, due to various events, the discord between the two brothers was finally exposed to the public.
Many people with a heart will know that their royal family is not a monolithic entity, and the unlearned second prince is not really interested in that position.
Is there something to be done here? How much benefit can be gained from it?
Power moves people's hearts.
Zhong Tianyi left, and Yu Huoshui followed him.
The scene fell into a dead silence.
"Should I say something?"
"Will my words be misunderstood?"
Everyone fell into this vicious circle of self-questioning and questioning.
For a long time.
For a long time.
Qin Jianyi stood up and walked to Zhong Tianque, saying, "I'm going back to pack my bags. I'm going to the border tomorrow to thank your highness for his hospitality. We'll meet again next time."
Zhong Tianque patted Qin Jianyi's shoulder vigorously and said with a smile, "Jianyi, you've worked hard. We're waiting for you to show your strength in the border, make great achievements in battle, and return triumphantly."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Qin Jianyi said gratefully.
Zhong Tianque is the eldest prince and the crown prince of the country. He is indeed qualified to say some words of encouragement to the expeditionary soldiers.
With Qin Jianyi taking the lead, the others also stood up and said goodbye.
"Your Highness, my mother asked me to go back for a blind date. The message said that the girl is waiting at home."
"My grandfather is celebrating his 80th birthday today. My father called me several times and asked me to go over. Thank you for the wine and food, Your Highness. We will meet again next time."
"My uncle is getting married for the second time today"
——
Qin Shuang also came to say goodbye to Zhong Tianque and said directly: "I have something to do, so I'm leaving first."
"Miss Qin, I'm sorry for the poor hospitality. See you next time." Zhong Tianque nodded in response.
Qin Shuang's eyes fell on Tang Fei's face and asked: "When will you duel with me?"
"."
Tang Fei looked helpless.
Is this woman crazy? Why do you want to duel with me as soon as you meet?
Qin Jianyi was frightened by what he saw. People outside said that Tang Fei and Princess Fenghuang had a close relationship.
The two of them came to the party together just now, and they didn't mean to avoid others at all.
If the two of them really have that kind of relationship, it would be inappropriate for Qin Shuang to get involved.
No matter how prominent the Qin family is, they can't compete with the princess for a man.
This is a very irrational behavior.
So, Qin Jianyi hurriedly tried to smooth things over, saying, "You are all classmates in the academy, are you afraid that you won't have a chance to compete with me? It's the New Year, so let's put aside all the fighting for the time being. It would be bad if you get hurt and bleed."
"Yes, yes." Tang Fei also nodded repeatedly, saying, "There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
"Okay." Qin Shuang nodded, turned around and walked outside.
Fenghuang looked at Qin Shuang's back, looking thoughtful.
Qin Jianyi clasped his fists to Tang Fei and said, "Brother Tang, my sister has a cold temper and is ignorant of the world. Please forgive her."
"It's okay, she has no ill intentions." Tang Fei smiled and said, "I wish Brother Qin a bright future and a great victory."
"Thank you."
Qin Jianyi smiled apologetically at Fenghuang, then turned around and left.
Soon, most of the guests in the yard had left.
When Tang Fei was about to say goodbye to Zhong Tianque, Zhong Tianque took the initiative to say to Tang Fei: "Please stay for a while, let's talk for a few words."
He then said to Fenghuang: "You go back first, I'll have someone send Tang Fei to Fenghuang Cottage later."
Fenghuang nodded and said: "Okay, Xiaopang is still with me, I'll go back and eat with him."
Fenghuang glanced at Tang Fei, then turned and left.
Zhong Tianque dismissed the maids and servants, invited Tang Fei to sit down again, personally picked up the wine bottle and poured him a glass of wine, then looked at Tang Fei and asked: "Don't you like Shen Xinglan?"
"How could that be?" Tang Fei immediately denied it and said: "I love and respect Senior Brother Xinglan, and regard him as my brother's idol, how could I not like him?"
Zhong Tianque shook his head and said: "You don't like him, and he doesn't like you either. This is a well-known fact."
"Ah?" Tang Fei looked at Zhong Tianque in surprise and asked: "Why doesn't Senior Brother Xinglan like me?"
He thought he had hidden it well, how could it be known to everyone?
I, the person involved, don't even know it yet.
"Because of Phoenix, because of Grandmaster Xuanyuan Mingjing, and because..." Zhong Tianque looked at Tang Fei and said, "Because you are too good."
"Not really." Tang Fei said, "There are so many outstanding young talents in Phoenix City, who am I?"
"Besides, no matter how outstanding I am, I can't compare with Senior Brother Xinglan. The gap between us is huge. I am not even worthy of carrying Senior Brother Xinglan's shoes. He can't dislike me because of this, right?"
"You don't need to belittle yourself." Zhong Tianque took a sip from the wine glass and said, "You saved Fenghuang, you are Fenghuang's savior. She also appreciates your kindness, and the relationship between you two is quite good."
"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that between you and Shen Xinglan, Fenghuang values you more. Before you, Fenghuang and Xinglan had a very good relationship."
"It's not an exaggeration to describe them as childhood sweethearts. Fenghuang, a friend who grew up together, died in Xiqi Mountain. Although this is a joke between elders, doesn't it mean to make a real move forward?"
"Because of your arrival, Xinglan's situation has become awkward. They have been friends for so many years. Does Shen Xinglan really have no feelings for Fenghuang?"
"At Fenghuang's coming-of-age ceremony, Shen Xinglan gave Fenghuang the egret that he had raised for many years and regarded as a close friend and family member, but Fenghuang refused."
"I heard Fenghuang talk about this matter. She felt that the gift from Shen Xinglan was too expensive and she couldn't accept it." Tang Fei explained.
He wanted to lighten his burden, he didn't want to take the blame.
Zhong Tianque glanced at Tang Fei and asked, "If you gave it to him, would Fenghuang accept it?"
Tang Fei said without hesitation, "No."
Regardless of whether it would happen or not, he could only give this answer.
Now is not the time to be competitive, it would cost lives.
"Let's not talk about this for now. Grandmaster Xuanyuan Mingjing has been cautious all his life. For so many years, he has only accepted Shen Xinglan as his disciple."
"I don't know what means you used, but he actually accepted you as his disciple. In this way, Xuanyuan Mingjing has two disciples. If it were you, what would you think?"
"Brothers will compete for favor with each other, let alone fellow apprentices? Is it more dazzling to be the only disciple of the grandmaster, or to be one of the two with a high profile?"
"From the moment you became a disciple of Xuanyuan Mingjing, a competitive relationship has been formed between you. Although you are not as good as Shen Xinglan for the time being, you have made rapid progress and have great potential for development."
"Moreover, the most important thing is that you are not a member of the nine major families without roots or foundations. Instead, you are more likely to be won over or reused by all parties. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I know." Tang Fei smiled bitterly and said self-deprecatingly: "I thought I had hidden the fact that I didn't like my senior brother very well, but I didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Prince saw through it at a glance."
Zhong Tianque was quite satisfied with Tang Fei's attitude. He was willing to expose his true thoughts in front of him, which proved that he regarded himself as his own.
Being able to get a talent like Tang Fei to work for oneself is also a huge gain.
"When we look at people and things, we can never just look at the appearance, but we must see whether there is an actual conflict of interest between the two parties."
Zhong Tianque said in a tone with some instruction: "There are so many conflicts between you and Shen Xinglan, how can you be friends?"
"."
"But don't worry, this is not a big deal. Who doesn't have some conflicts between people? The nine major families restrain each other, so that the imperial regime can be stable and the imperial power can be maintained. If they stick together, what will happen to our royal family?"
Tang Fei looked at Zhong Tianque with wide eyes. Can such words be said casually?
"This is a well-known fact. If I don't tell you the truth that even a three-year-old child knows, you won't understand?"
Tang Fei said sincerely, "I understand this truth. I just didn't expect that His Highness would trust me so much and tell me such private and important things."
"Trust people when you employ them, and don't employ people you don't trust." Zhong Tianque said, "If I have to hide everything in front of you, how can we talk about trust?"
"Yes." Tang Fei stood up, saluted respectfully, and said, "You treat me as a national hero, and I will repay you as a national hero. As long as Your Highness has any mission, Tang Fei will do it without hesitation."
"Well. I understand. "Zhong Tianque raised his hand and pressed it down, motioning Tang Fei to sit down and talk: "We have not known each other for a long time, and there have been some unpleasant things between us before. However, those are all in the past."
"We still have a long way to go in the future, and there are many places to deal with. Whether we are reliable people will naturally be determined in the future."
"However, I can assure you that as long as you work hard, I will never treat you unfairly. What you have now, you will have in the future. What you don't have now, you will have in the future. "
"Thank you, Your Highness." Tang Fei said excitedly.
Zhong Tianque began to paint a big picture for himself. It seems that he has already determined that he is his person.
My plan has taken another big step forward.
"Yeah." Zhong Tianque nodded, looked at Tang Fei and asked, "What's going on between you and Tianyi? Why do you look unhappy?"
Tang Fei immediately stood up and apologized timidly, saying, "Your Highness, I don't mean to make things difficult for the Second Prince, and I dare not make things unhappy with the Second Prince."
"That's right. It's just that Yu Huoshui and I don't get along well. You know, when the Egret Academy was recruiting new students, there were some conflicts between him and me."
"Yu Huoshui is jealous and has tried every means to make trouble for me. This is not the first time today."
"I know that the Second Prince is your biological brother, and you have a deep brotherly relationship. Yu Huoshui is also the nephew of the Queen's mother's family. How dare I provoke them?"
"That's right. I took the initiative to apologize to them, but they didn't want to accept it. Your Highness, you know that I am a nobody and don't know what to do."
Tang Fei was very humble and scared.
You are royal relatives. I can't afford to offend you, and I don't want to offend you.
Zhong Tianque was very happy to hear that.
He knew about the conflict between Tang Fei and Yu Huoshui. When Bailu was recruiting new players, Tang Fei and his team's clearance process was broadcast live to the outside world.
Because Fenghuang also participated in it, they had been following the competition from beginning to end.
Tang Fei stabbed Yu Huoshui to death with a knife, which was equivalent to destroying Yu Huoshui's ideal and plan to enter Bailu Academy.
It was reasonable for Yu Huoshui to hate him.
And Yu Huoshui had a very good relationship with Zhong Tianyi. The two of them were together day and night and had many common hobbies.
He had someone investigate the video dissemination incident a few years ago. It was very likely that Yu Huoshui was helping his second brother to handle this matter.
After all, those who were found out were all Yu Huoshui's people.
To say that Yu Huoshui was completely unaware of the incident is to treat them as idiots.
Will Zhong Tianque forget that incident?
No, he will never forget it.
Thinking of himself making a fool of himself in public and shitting his pants
What's even more hateful is that the outside world gave him the title of "Prince of Diarrhea", and he wanted to kill all the people who knew about it and watched the video.
Shame!
It's really too shameful!
The enemy of your enemy is your friend. Because Tang Fei and Yu Huoshui and Zhong Tianyi have an irreconcilable conflict, Zhong Tianque is more confident in him.
Who else can he turn to besides himself?
He doesn't want to rely on the crown prince of a country, but he runs to hug the thigh of an idle prince who is unlearned and unskilled?
Tang Fei is a smart man, he can't do such a stupid thing.
Tang Fei looked at Zhong Tianque with a pleading tone, and said, "Your Highness, you are the second prince's brother and Yu Huoshui's cousin. They will definitely listen to you."
"Can you help me set up a game, I will apologize to them in public and put an end to the previous things. What do you think?"
Zhong Tianque looked at Tang Fei and said, "Tang Fei, don't worry. With me here, no matter whether it is Tianyi or Yu Huoshui, they can't hurt you."
"There is no problem with setting up a game, but I can't guarantee that they will accept your apology now. After all, it has just happened not long ago. Not only did you join Bailu, you also became a disciple under Xuanyuan Mingjing"
"The more successful you are, the more angry Yu Huoshui will be. I am afraid that apologizing at this time will have no effect, and it may even add fuel to the fire"
"Wait a little longer, when the time is right, I will arrange a dinner party, invite Tianyi and Yu Huoshui, and I will help You can talk about it, and I will toast them with you. At that time, I don't believe they won't give us a little face. "
Tang Fei looked at Zhong Tianque with gratitude, and said: "Thank you, Your Highness, then I will follow your arrangement. When you think it is appropriate, I will apologize to them."
"Yes." Zhong Tianque nodded and said: "Have a good holiday, and we will talk about the future later. I don't have anything to do here, I will ask someone to send you to Fenghuang, she is still waiting."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
"Why are you so polite?" Zhong Tianque patted Tang Fei's shoulder and said meaningfully: "After getting to know each other for a long time, you will find that I am a very generous person. From childhood to adulthood, I love my sister the most."
"I will find ways to find and give her things she likes."
Tang Fei's expression was slightly stiff, and he said with a smile: "Your Highness has a deep brother-sister relationship. It's really enviable."
