Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 438
After inspecting the fleet, arsenal, and barracks of the Beiwa Navy, His Royal Highness Yan Wang expressed his satisfaction, and announced on the spot that a banquet will be held at the Zongbing Yamen at noon today to reward all officers.

Ordinary soldiers are also rewarded, of course, but they can only eat and drink in the barracks.

The weather is hot and the distance is long, so it is inconvenient to transport the pork and mutton for rewards. Fortunately, Chongming has a large population and prosperous business, so they can be purchased locally.

However, His Royal Highness King Yan did not come empty-handed. His two boats were full of wine jars, all of which were good wine brewed by Guanglu Temple.

The officers and soldiers of Yanshan Guards will be transported off the boat like flowing water, some will be sent to the general office of the army, and some will be sent to the barracks.The army is full of drinkers, especially the navy.Seeing so many delicious wines being delivered, all the soldiers were smiling, and Xisha Island was full of joyful atmosphere.

Before the banquet started, Zhu Di met Wu Gao and Wu Zhong in the official residence where he was staying.

The two had nothing to say to thank King Yan, thanking him for saving face in front of the people below.

Zhu Di wiped his face with a handkerchief, and said with a faint smile: "We grew up together, studied together, and played around together. In the words of my sixth brother, it's called 'faxiao'. If I don't support you, who will support you?"

"Justice!" Wu Gao and Wu Zhong were very grateful, and they all gave a thumbs up and said: "Your Highness is really righteous, and we brothers will support you to the end!"

"Hahaha, of course, 'a fence with three stakes, a hero with three gangs'." Yan Wang laughed and wrung out the towel, then changed the topic: "Since you still recognize me as a brother, then I can't hide from you."

"Yes, if you have anything to say, please speak directly." The two brothers immediately puffed up their chests.

"This king's visit this time is just an excuse. The real reason is—" Zhu Di didn't hold back, and said directly to the two:
"My emperor's brother received a lot of reports, saying that Beiwa Navy had colluded with the pirates for a long time, tipping off the news, providing cover, etc. The circumstances are very bad, so I was sent to investigate!"

"Ah..." Wu Gao and Wu Zhong's faces turned pale when they heard this, they didn't expect that His Highness didn't have any foreplay at all, so they came straight to the point.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, it's all false accusations." But under the strong coercion of His Highness King Yan, the two of them didn't dare to move, and could only sit there and wipe their sweat.

"No, nothing..."

"You two, don't be in a hurry to deny it. This king will give you another chance to organize your words." King Yan stared at the two of them with those eagle-like eyes, and said in a deep voice:

"Let me tell you, this king has already taken you two out as a guarantor with the crown prince."

"Many, thank you Your Highness for your support..." The two obviously relaxed, and then said with a tangled expression: "No, but we are really innocent..."

"That's why I picked you out. I believe that your father should not have participated in it. The two princes are also considered extremely human subjects. How could it be possible to get involved with a group of stinky pirates? What good is there?"

"That's right," the two of them nodded hurriedly and said, "No one in our family will get involved in those dirty things."

"There's no reason to insult the family."

"So, you men don't know about it, right?" The fourth child firmly grasped the rhythm.

"Yes, I don't know anything." The two brothers continued to nod.

"The king's investigation of Beiwa Navy is actually to clear your father's innocence." The fourth child said in a deep voice, "Believe me, I will definitely clear their innocence."

"Thank you, Your Highness." The two brothers were dizzy and couldn't figure out the advantages and disadvantages for a while, so they said to answer first, and then ask Dad later.

"Then, I will tell you a secret." The fourth child twisted the towel and said in a flat tone, "My sixth younger brother, your Highness the King of Chu, is leading the fleet to sea this time, saving people is the second priority. The real purpose is to wipe out the two pirates in one fell swoop, Fang Chen, who have plagued our seas for many years!"

"Huh?" The two brothers were completely numb.Wu Gao lost his voice: "Didn't the King of Chu just go out with ten boats? How could he be the opponent of those pirates?"

"That's right." Wu Zhong also echoed: "Your Highness, hurry up and bring back the King of Chu. He is really no match for those pirates. No one is their match, not even Beiwa Navy. Otherwise, we won't always...falsely fight with them."

After he finished speaking, he wished he could slap himself in the face, how could he keep his mouth watering while talking?
"My sixth brother is invincible in the world, he has the ability to wipe out those pirates!" Fortunately, Zhu Di didn't seem to hear it, and still said in an unquestionable tone to himself: "Don't worry about how he did it, let me think about it—if those pirates are wiped out, what will happen to the Beiwa Navy!"

"This..." The two brothers had been completely led by the fourth brother, and they couldn't help thinking along his train of thought.Then he broke out in sweat again.

If the two gangs of pirates were wiped out, then the Beiwa Navy, who had the same origin as them, would have panicked, and would probably run away as soon as they wanted to.Regardless of Sanqi 21, escape to the sea first, and then talk about it when it is safe.

When the time comes, will their men follow, or stay?Running after him becomes a bandit. The two brothers are both the sons of the marquis. They just lie down and do nothing, and they will inherit the title when the time comes.How could she be willing to leave the Huahua World in the Central Plains and go to suffer on an island where there is nothing to do?
So it's better to stay. They have iron coupons for avoiding death at home, or the kind that avoids two deaths.Moreover, their father is still a god in the hero temple, so as long as they don't rebel, it won't be too miserable.At most, the emperor dismissed the old man from office, made the two of them punish themselves with three cups, and went home to hold their grandson.

But the two brothers still have a lot of good times, so they can't follow them home.So you have to draw a clear line with the old man and make meritorious service for the court!

Inspired by the strong personality charm of the fourth brother, the two brothers were finally successfully brought into the ditch...

"Tell me, Your Highness, what do you need us to do?" Wu Gao patted his chest and said, "I will go through fire and water, and I will do whatever I can!"

"That's right, we will do whatever Your Highness asks us to do." Wu Zhong also nodded heavily.

"It's easy." Zhu Di said in a deep voice, "I just want you to remove the guards outside the banquet hall and replace them with mine."

"Ah? Your Highness, what are you going to do?" The two were startled, because usually this is the rhythm of fighting.

"Don't worry, this king won't harm you." King Yan laughed and said, "I'm only a small number of people, dare to attack them? Why don't you let the soldiers outside chop them into meat paste?"

"That's true, Your Highness..." The two brothers tentatively asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"It's just to prevent them from escaping." Zhu Di said lightly.

"That's it." The two brothers murmured.I feel that what His Highness said makes sense, but I'm afraid that he will be fooled.

"In case, Your Highness, I mean in case, what if the King of Chu loses?" Still, the older brother's IQ was a little higher, and he finally thought of another possibility.

"If my sixth son loses, then they don't have to flee. Naturally, my people don't have to stop them, and they just stand on guard for your family's guards." Zhu Di saw through the thoughts of the two, and released a big move at the right time:
"How about this, I will send all the guards around me away. You two will follow me closely. If this king does anything that is not conducive to your father and son, you will kill me with a knife. Don't you feel relieved now?"

"Hmm..." The brothers thought about it, and finally nodded.His Highness has entrusted his life to both of them, so why do they believe it?
"It's not that we don't care about His Highness, but we are simply willing to be His Highness's guard!" Wu Gao also wisely said a few words.
