Chapter 182 What’s so difficult about being a friend?

Xie Nandu retorted, "Why not?"

She was very serious, looked at the dean and said, "If it makes sense, then I want both the academy and the Xie family."

This sentence is very common, but in fact it is not a very common thing.

The two identities of the head of the Xie family and the dean of the academy were very important in the Liang Dynasty.

The dean said, "If this day comes, I don't even dare to think about what will happen to the Liang Dynasty."

The dean is very serious. This matter is also a huge thing for him. Hearing Xie Nandu say this is also a bit unexpected for the dean.

If both the Xie family and the academy were in Xie Nandu's hands, then she would definitely become an important figure who could influence the situation of the Liang Dynasty. Such a figure could easily become an extreme person. 🄲

Regardless of whether he is in power or is jealous of those in power because of his too much power, the final outcome will not be good.

The fate of powerful ministers has never been good.

Xie Nandu smiled casually and said no more.

Her thoughts moved slightly, and a sword energy emerged between her fingers, which looked very sharp.

She is really the type of person who is born to practice swordsmanship.

The dean looked at her and asked solemnly, "Is that something that must be done?"

Xie Nandu looked at the dean and nodded seriously.

The dean nodded and said no more. He just walked a few steps in front of the bookshelf. He didn't know what he thought of, and then left.

The dean walked quickly and did not smile this time, otherwise there might be some rumors about the academy being haunted.

Xie Nandu put down the book in his hand, was silent for a long time, and looked to the north.

The two bottles of wine were not drunk quickly, but it was finally time to finish them.

There was a blush on the second prince's face, and his highness was already a little tipsy.

Chen Chao's eyes were clear. He had drunk a lot of wine, but he was not drunk at all. He was still very clear.

"There is something that no one has thought about clearly, but I know it very well."

The second prince narrowed his eyes and said softly, "That means that whether it is you, Commander Chen, the guardian envoy, the dean, or the northern general, standing here, you should not be involved." In the so-called battle for the throne."

Chen Chao said softly, "I can't compare with these people."

Whether it is the dean or the guards, they are all the real big shots in the Liang Dynasty. Although the Chen Dynasty has gained some fame now, no matter how you look at it, they cannot be mentioned together with these figures.

The second prince shook his head and retorted, "Don't underestimate yourself, even if you are really insignificant. I am not as good as my father. At this moment, I can only look up to you."

I look forward to my father, but I will never feel that I will be inferior to my father for the rest of my life. "

"Your Highness has great ambitions..." Chen Chao looked at the wine glasses on the table and had finished the last glass of wine.

"you have not?"

The second prince looked at Chen Chao and said casually, "I can see that you will be the same person as me, so I just want to be a friend with you. It has nothing to do with the throne, the fight for the crown prince, or the world. Even if there is One day you will choose to stand beside Brother Huang, and I think we can still be friends."

This is the first time tonight that the second prince calls himself me instead of me.

This may not seem to mean anything, but it actually does mean something.

Perhaps at this moment, Chen Chao and the second prince really let go of their identities.

Chen Chao looked into the eyes of the second prince, as if he wanted to see what he wanted to see in those already somewhat blurred eyes.

"I'm taking my leave."

I don't know how long it took, but Chen Chao stood up and bowed to say goodbye.

The second prince didn't try to stop him, or even got up.

We talked a little tonight, but not much. The two of them didn't really open up their hearts. It wasn't that the second prince didn't want to, but that Chen Chao didn't give him the chance.

This young man from Weishui did not give the second prince a chance to communicate with him in depth.

After leaving Baihe Pavilion, the carriage was waiting not far away.

The steward looked at Chen Chao with a smile and said, "Commander Chen, please."

Previously, Chen Chaogao said that he would go to the second prince's banquet first. The steward made the decision to agree without informing the eldest prince. In fact, Chen Chaogao had already taken a look at it. Now that he saw him again, Chen Chaogao Chao took the initiative and asked, "Don't you know the name?"

The steward shook his head and said, "My surname is Zhou."

Chen Chao nodded, knowing how to advance and retreat.

Manager Zhou glanced at Chen Chao, then smiled and said, "His Royal Highness has sent a message before. It is too late tonight. The commander should go back and rest. Your Highness will not disturb the commander tonight."

As he spoke, several people came over behind him carrying many things.

"This is a gift from His Highness to the commander. Please accept it."

Manager Zhou looked at Chen Chao with a smile on his face.

Chen Chao thought for a moment and then understood what was going on. The second prince was already an extremely smart person. If the eldest prince was a fool, then he would not be able to compete with the second prince.

Chen Chao said, "It's too far. Can you give me a ride?"

After hearing this, Manager Zhou glanced at Chen Chao strangely, and then laughed.

He is also a smart man and naturally knows what it means to reciprocate kindness.

He quickly opened the curtain and welcomed Chen Chao in.

The carriage left here and headed towards the academy.

The driver was none other than Manager Zhou.

He doesn't seem to be very good at driving, but you can tell from such things.

Chen Chao was silent for a long time and suddenly said, "Perhaps I won't be able to go to His Highness's residence before leaving the capital city."

Manager Zhou didn't turn his head and said with a smile, "It's not a big deal. I think His Highness can understand it."

Chen Chao said, "Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness."

Manager Zhou said softly, "Commander Chen should also pay attention. There are many people who don't want to see Commander Chen live like this."

Chen Chao said, "But I think I won't die so easily."

Manager Zhou listened to the words coming from the carriage, smiled and nodded, "Of course, His Highness is not willing to let Commander Chen die like this."

Chen Chao was silent for a moment and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

This is not the first time he has said such words, but the meaning is different every time.

Manager Zhou can naturally understand.

Chen Chao said, "When I come back, I will visit His Highness personally."

Manager Zhou shook his head with a smile and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you see me or not, as long as you have this idea, it will be fine."

Chen Chao said with emotion, "Your Highness is really lucky to have someone like you."

The title sir is very formal, and it does not mean that everyone can afford it.

Manager Zhou smiled and said, "It would be a real blessing for His Highness to make friends like Commander Chen."

The carriage turned back from the academy and returned to the eldest prince's residence.

Manager Zhou jumped off the carriage and walked in through the side door.

Not long after, Manager Zhou walked down the corridor and came to the study.

After pausing at the door of the study for a moment, he walked in.

The study room is very simple, it can be said to be very elegant. There is only a row of bookshelves and an ordinary desk in front of the bookshelves.

The eldest prince sat there, like a hill.

He is very fat.

There was nothing cruel about that round face, but it was unexpectedly generous.

Rumor has it that when the current emperor was still the vassal king, he always disliked the eldest prince because of his poor health, and even

The idea of ​​changing the crown prince came to mind, but it was also because of the firm opposition of the empress that he kept the crown prince position. After Emperor Liang took over the capital, he never established a crown prince. I'm afraid it was also because of this.

Maybe it was just because the Queen was still there before, but now that the Queen has passed away, everything has become subtle again.

The eldest prince was sitting here and could hear those voices, but he didn't care and was just listening to Manager Zhou's words.

The eldest prince is listening to the final answer to what happened tonight.

I don’t know how long it took, but Manager Zhou finished talking about what happened, and then began to talk about his views on Chen Chao.

In fact, he doesn't look like a manager, but like an aide to the eldest prince, and the relationship between the two seems to be more than that.

I don't know how long it took, but Manager Zhou finished everything and then looked at the eldest prince.

The eldest prince rubbed his face, then took a sip of the hot tea on the side, and then said slowly, "Commander Chen is a very smart person, but he is too smart, which is not good for him."

"Based on my humble opinion, although Commander Chen is still just a young man, he is actually very cautious in his advance and retreat, and what he shows is probably what he wants outsiders to see."

Manager Zhou lowered his head, not knowing what he was looking at.

"Speaking of which, you have a good opinion of him."

The eldest prince put down the tea bowl and said with a smile, "Actually, my father's opinion of him...ahem...price...is also pretty good."

Manager Zhou quickly handed over the cloth.

The eldest prince covered his mouth and nose and coughed violently, which lasted for half a quarter of an hour.

Half a quarter of an hour later, he handed back the cloth in his hand, and then looked at Manager Zhou tiredly.

"Since he has made this choice, let him go. I understand what the second child is thinking. I don't necessarily want to compete with him, but I am just expressing an attitude."

The eldest prince took a sip of hot tea.

Manager Zhou quickly picked up the iron kettle on the stove not far away and added some new boiling water to the eldest prince.

Some sparks are brought up immediately.

The eldest prince said softly, "I heard that in the last days of my mother, I saw him several times. Gods had always rumored that he was actually a descendant of the former dynasty, but how could my mother be wrong? If he was really a descendant of the former dynasty, my mother would not Meeting him for the second time.”

When Manager Zhou heard this, he knew that he couldn't hear what happened next, so he quickly backed out and left the study.

Even he was unwilling to get involved in the secrets of the royal family.

Because if you are not careful, your head will fall to the ground.

The eldest prince murmured to himself, "So can I call you brother?"
