Chapter 863 Confessing identity

That night, Xue Mei borrowed a small stove from the chef and made a simple grill - her exquisite one, and fed it to the crocodile.

The boat walked for a while and was moored in the middle of the water.

It is not suitable to sail at night. This is not just the superstition of boatmen, but it is indeed impossible to see clearly when encountering a reef.

He pushed open the small window on the cabin, and the river surface was chilly after the heavy rain. Xue Mei opened her short jacket and was making grilled fish on the stove.

Emperor Jianhong and Xiao Jingcheng sat opposite each other, chatting while eating the barbecue made by Xue Mei.

"...I suddenly discovered last year that you will never eat dessert after entering the palace." The emperor said.

The emperor really didn't think much about King Jing. If Xiao Jingcheng hadn't been too passive and lazy, the emperor wouldn't have noticed it.

"When I think about it, this matter is not right, so I sent a secret spy to investigate and found out that the general Wang and King Jing of Liang were actually 80% similar." Emperor Jianhong said again.

There is no need to guess the rest.

Xiao Jingcheng asked: "Why didn't I arrest me? I'm still allowed to accompany me?"

"Do you have any malice to me? Can't I see that? I was also puzzled at first, what did you do when you came to Chu? If you want to be scheming over the years, I will even give you the position of crown prince.

But you have no achievements, no connections, no reputation, and even no money. After thinking about it, you don’t want anything from me. You must have come to Chu for her," said the emperor.

He said, pointing at Xue Mei.

Xue Mei: "..."

Xiao Jingcheng: “…”

"...If I met such a woman when I was young, I would follow her even if she was dangerous. Besides, since you can replace King Jing, King Jing will definitely be in your hands.

Think about it again, A Meng might be in your hands too." The emperor said.

This is why the emperor did not act rashly.

His son and daughter-in-law were all pinching in their palms.

"King Jing is not in my hands. He is the general king in Liang State, and A Meng is taking care of the children in Qingzhou." Xiao Jingcheng said, "When I go back, King Jing will come back."

Emperor Jianhong did not ask further.

He seemed to have a little awe of this matter. For example, where did the real King Jing go?

Is the one who went to Liang Kingdom to be the general king, is he the real King Jing again?

The emperor had never felt the changes of King Jing, but Xiao Jingcheng had obvious characteristics, and his tight shoulders were somewhat unusual.

Many times, his words and deeds reveal the temperament that he is a person who has been fighting for many years.

This cannot be hidden from the old emperor's eyes.

The old emperor only discovered that his son had been replaced last year. Xiao Jingcheng had more and more flaws, especially sweets, which he couldn't eat.

Therefore, the old emperor's concern for his son is nothing more than that. If the person who went to the two countries was not his own son, he deserved it. He never found out that something was wrong with his son. Then what qualifications should he be demanding that it must be true?

Anyway, after Xiao Jingcheng revealed his identity, King Jing would not do anything that was unfavorable to the State of Chu, nor would he do anything that was unfavorable to the old emperor.

The old emperor needed someone to vent his guilt about the concubine who fought to protect him.

That's all.

The old emperor struggled himself throughout his life. In the most difficult times, his mother and children needed his protection, but no one would come to help him, which led to his weak feelings for many people.

Sometimes he even hated his relatives, thinking that they were all dragging him down.

After Xiao Jingcheng talked, the emperor didn't say anything else, but just said to Xiao Jingcheng: "You can take off your mask and say you are the leader of the guards I have found. I used to pretend to be King Jing, just to make everyone feel at ease."

Xiao Jingcheng was overjoyed: "Thank you, Father."

The emperor glanced at him: "Are you still addicted to taking advantage?"

Xiao Jingcheng: “…”

The old emperor thought about it again. Xue Mei always called the prince the eldest brother. She was the prince's adopted sister, and she could also be equivalent to the old emperor's adopted daughter.

If Xiao Jingcheng marrys Xue Mei, he will be the old emperor's son-in-law.

A son-in-law, half a son, was really worth nothing when he called him Father.

In this way, Xiao Jingcheng took off his mask the next day, and the guards were indeed shocked.

Among these five hundred guards, three of them were senior generals. But they had never dealt with Xiao Jingcheng and did not recognize him. They only knew that this man had aura and was difficult to get close to.

The emperor said to them: "This is the person recommended by Marquis Chengyang to me, and he will lead you in the future."

Xiao Jingcheng said, "I am the next surname Xiao. If you don't know where you will be, I will accompany you first. Please take care of me."

The guards called him Commander Xiao; the other guards called him Brother Xiao, and several of them were on equal terms, but they were full of suspicion of him.

This way, it seems to be smoother.

After breakfast that day, Xue Mei found crocodile skin on the boat when she set off.

It turned out that in the middle of the night last night, the old emperor sent guards to the river beach to see if the dragon was dead.

When he found that it was really exhausted, the guard brought the dragon's corpse up.

The emperor said that the corpse was not easy to preserve, so he only had a complete dragon skin.

Xue Mei was speechless when she saw this.

She scolded the emperor: "That thing can bite people into two pieces in one bite, but there is no such easy weapon anymore.

If you send the guards, if there are still his companions lurking, wouldn’t it be that people who die? Is this what the Lord of Ren did?”

The emperor was a little embarrassed by her words, and at the same time he was very angry: "You have criticized me, I haven't settled the score with you yet."

"What's wrong with me? Before I came to Chu State, I changed the person I should have changed." Xue Mei said, "It's not up to me..."

emperor:"……

The old emperor was so angry that he decided to ignore her.

After thinking about it, Xue Mei felt that his words were a bit heavy. After all, in the eyes of the emperor and the guards, being able to die for the emperor was the supreme glory and could shine the eighteen generations of ancestors.

Therefore, the emperor sent him out not to die, but to bring glory to the family.

The emperor had a meal for no reason and was in a good mood, but Xue Mei told him that if the dragon's flesh was not processed quickly, it would soon rot, and it would not work.

When the emperor heard this, he decided to shake hands with Xue Mei and make peace, and asked her: "Do you have a way to deal with it?"

"The lightweight lamb skins on the market are all my methods of making them. I am an expert in this." Xue Mei proudly showed off.

The emperor decided not to have the same knowledge as her, so he urged her to quickly prepare the dragon skin, and he wanted to take it back and hang it on his dragon throne.

He was a little excited: "That is the real dragon throne."

Xue Mei: "..."

You ancient people who have no knowledge are so worried about me!

While worried, she still made the crocodile skin with the help of the guards.

When their ship really arrived in Lingnan, General Montaigne and his soldiers greeted the pier, the crocodile skin was already afraid that it would be properly fabricated, and it didn't look very discolored, extremely fierce and vivid.

The emperor was very satisfied. As soon as he met, he would invite General Meng to see his dragon. He couldn't wait to show off, exactly like a child.
