Volume 2: The Secret of the Illusion Chapter 113: Trust and Quarrel
As soon as the fourth princess heard Xiao Chi's words, the whole person was stunned, and she took the badge in a daze, and confirmed it several times before she came to her senses.
"It's so young, it's incredible. ”
The fourth princess muttered admiration as she returned the badge.
At this time, the fourth princess suddenly remembered something and immediately bent down to apologize.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault, I misunderstood you, I was a little too impulsive. ”
Mu Cheng saw the fourth princess apologize, and then his face was better, of course, the most important reason was that Xiao Chi was fine.
However, the fourth princess didn't mind Mu Cheng's attitude, but was more concerned about the purpose of the two of them.
"You said you were here to investigate this murder case too?"
"Yes, to tell you the truth, Liezhan is our friend, and we also know Liezhan very well, and when we heard this, we all felt strange, so we came over. ”
Xiao Chi saw that Mu Cheng still minded, afraid that the two would fight again if they didn't agree, so she had no choice but to continue to explain to the fourth princess.
The fourth princess listened to Koike's explanation, nodded her head to show trust, and then asked.
"Then why don't you enter through the main entrance? ”
"We don't want to, it's just that our age and corresponding identities are too shocking, so if we can, we don't want to expose it. ”
"That's right, when I first saw your badge, I almost thought it was fake, but when I thought about your combat effectiveness, I was relieved. ”
I don't know why, for Xiao Chi's words, the fourth princess inexplicably felt trust, even if reason reminded her to beware of these two people, she couldn't be wary.
"Okay, okay, since it's a misunderstanding, let's break up early, don't waste time, we still have a lot to do. ”
Mu Cheng didn't like the fourth princess from the bottom of his heart, so he naturally didn't have any anger when he spoke to her.
It's just that when Mu Cheng spoke to Xiao Chi, it was another gentle face.
"Koike, it's getting late, let's go. ”
Xiao Chi glanced at Mu Cheng helplessly, although she really wanted to continue chatting with the fourth princess and get more information, but since Mu Cheng didn't like it, she naturally wouldn't continue to stay here.
The fourth princess saw Mu Cheng picking up Xiao Chi and was about to leave, knowing that the person who really made the decision was the boy in front of her, so she immediately spoke.
"Wait, I have a proposal, I want to cooperate with you to investigate this matter, I don't know if you want to. ”
"I'm sorry, I don't want to work with someone who almost killed my beloved. ”
After speaking, Mu Cheng was about to jump downstairs and leave this ghost place.
It's just that Mu Cheng hasn't jumped yet, and Xiao Chi's voice sounded in his head.
"Orange, since it was a misunderstanding, then you might as well listen to her, she is the fourth princess, if she is willing to help us, she can let us enter the palace secretly, and all kinds of actions should be much easier.
Being the Son and Daughter is only a means to protect us, and if we enter in this way, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the Mother of Dragons, which will not be good for our investigation.
And don't you think it's quicker to investigate our ultimate goal under the pretext of investigating a homicide?"
"It doesn't matter, let's investigate slowly, it's the same, there's no need to borrow the power of an untrustworthy person. ”
Mu Cheng also knew that what Xiao Chi had to say was very right, but he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart, so he could only say it tightly.
"Okay, don't be childish, go quickly. ”
The conversation between the two felt long, but for the fourth princess, there was not even time to breathe.
The fourth princess just saw Mu Cheng turn around and paused when she was about to leave, and then turned around and said.
"How to cooperate?"
Listening to Mu Cheng's reluctant words, although the fourth princess didn't know why Mu Cheng changed her mind, it didn't make any sense for her to find out about it, all she wanted was to find out about the murder.
"It's very simple, since you have an unusual relationship with Lie'an, it must also be related to Lie'an, so you check Lie'an's side, and I check the palace's side, it's as simple as that. ”
"Heh, you've been doing it for a long time, you're asking us to help you work, then I'm sorry, we'll investigate it ourselves. ”
The original intention of Mu Cheng and the two to cooperate was to use the identity of the fourth princess to enter the palace.
Now this condition is not beneficial to them at all, but they also help the fourth princess to work, and if they don't get it right, they may be stabbed in the back.
"But aren't you friends with Liezhan?"
The fourth princess was stunned at this time, she confidently believed that Mu Cheng was willing to come back to discuss with her because she cared about the fierce battle.
"We're friends, but I'm going to use my own way to solve this matter, and I won't rely on a random murderer like you. ”
"I said, everything is a misunderstanding, you are a big man, how long do you have to worry about it? Can't you discuss how to solve this case maturely?"
The fourth princess was annoyed by Mu Cheng's repeated mention of this matter, she was a princess of a country, and no one dared to disobey her, but now she was said so.
"I'm not mature? I care about it? Then when I kill your loved ones, I hope you can come and teach me a lesson like this. ”
If it weren't for Xiao Chi's insistence, Mu Cheng wouldn't have wanted to cooperate with the fourth princess, but now it is exactly what he wants, and he will break up in two.
"Alright, you've got enough!"
Suddenly, Xiao Chi, who was in Mu Cheng's arms, yelled angrily, interrupting the quarrel between the two.
Mu Cheng was stunned for a while, from before to now, Xiao Chi has never been so seriously angry, and today...
Just when Mu Cheng was stunned, Xiao Chi said coldly to the fourth princess.
"The conditions you proposed, forgive us for not accepting, since you are asking us to help, then naturally there should be an attitude and conditions to ask people to help, now what you are proposing is just one more person for us, and you are no different from others. ”
After this small pond's vague reminder, the four princesses suddenly understood what they wanted.
"I'm sorry I was negligent, but you all mentioned that you wanted to hide your identity, so if you need my help, I'll do my best to help you, okay?"
Although the fourth princess said it very ambiguously, all Koike wanted was this one promise.
"Okay, that's it, but I advise you not to expect too much from the resistance forces, Orange went down to check, judging from various traces, the person who committed the crime is most likely from your royal family. ”
"You... How do you know?"
The fourth princess's guess about the case was broken by Koike's words, and she couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous.
Suddenly, the fourth princess remembered that the shadow had told her that the two of them were lying on the roof and peeking before, and they instantly understood.
"You saw me take that tea, but how do you know it's a royal tea? And how do you know there's no medicine or anything like that in this tea?"
Xiao Chi pursed his lips and said coldly.
"It's better for you to investigate these yourself, are you done? ”
The two didn't want to say much before the four princesses met, so they had to suppress the doubts in their hearts, and then threw a token to Xiao Chi.
"This is my token, seeing the token, to a certain extent, is equivalent to seeing my deity, with it, you can not only find me through the palace personnel, it should also be more convenient for your actions. ”
Xiao Chi glanced at the token, nodded, stuffed it into Mu Cheng's arms, and then leaned on Mu Cheng's chest and hugged Mu Cheng tightly.
Mu Cheng glanced at the fourth princess, nodded her head, and left the roof of the teahouse with a few taps.
The fourth princess looked at the two who were far away, and her heart was complicated but she couldn't say it, so she could only sigh and leave the roof.
"Orange, where are we going now?
Xiao Chi stayed in Mu Cheng's arms and asked Mu Cheng gently.
"No, let's go to the central square, Levian told me before, if you want to find him, go to the central square, and someone will naturally take us to his side when the time comes. ”
After Mu Cheng said this, he stopped talking, and Xiao Chi stopped asking questions.
Mu Cheng concentrated on running and shuttling between the roofs, and the sound of the wind whirring in his ears made Mu Cheng's clothes hunt.
Xiao Chi bit his lower lip, grabbed Mu Cheng's coat tightly, and let go again, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
After repeating it a few times, Mu Cheng's coat was crumpled by Xiao Chi, and then Xiao Chi finally made up his mind and said in a low voice.
"That... Orange... I would like to say... ”
"I know what you're trying to say, but it's not up to you, it's me, I'm sorry, I didn't protect you, and my willfulness, everything, I'm sorry. ”
Xiao Chi raised her head and wanted to see Mu Cheng's face, but Mu Cheng seemed to deliberately turn her head, so she didn't see it.
It's just that from Mu Cheng's choked words, Xiao Chi guessed that Mu Cheng's eyes might have turned red, right?
"No, I'm so happy to see you doing this for me, thank you. ”
Since Mu Cheng didn't plan to show his fragile side to himself, then he should treat it as if it didn't exist.
Xiao Chi smiled happily, closed his eyes, leaned towards Mu Cheng's chest and rubbed it affectionately, silently feeling the warm chest, listening to the slightly accelerated heartbeat.
Mu Cheng felt the movement of Xiao Chi in his chest, and his whole body trembled slightly, and then a relieved smile appeared on his face.
Koike, I'm the one who should say I'm sorry and thankful.
Although there was still no word between the two, the atmosphere was already very different from before.
The central square is some distance from the teahouse, and even if you take a shortcut on the roof at the speed of Mu Cheng, it will not arrive until the evening.
After running around for such a long time, Mu Cheng not only felt tired, but even felt energetic, and thought in his mind, how good it would be if he could be a little longer.
In the evening, the central square is very lively, and the dragon people who have eaten dinner come to the central square for an evening walk.
A young couple, a happy couple of three, an old couple who are stumbling but supporting each other...
The warm street lamps in the dusk, the old streets, and the splendid musical fountains are intertwined with each other to create a peaceful music.
Infected by this atmosphere, Mu Cheng and Xiao Chi held hands and sat quietly by the fountain, listening to the soothing music in the fountain, waiting for the person from the Lie Ann Say.
At this time, a thin dragon man of about sixteen years old walked towards Mu Cheng and the others.
