Volume 2: The Secret of the Illusion Chapter 118 Division of Labor and Cooperation

The next day, Mu Cheng and the others came to the teahouse near the palace early, waiting for the arrival of the four princesses.

An hour ago, after Mu Cheng handed over the Four Princesses token to the guards of the palace, the guards told Mu Cheng to let Mu Cheng come to the teahouse here first and wait.

At first, Mu Cheng didn't understand why this was so, until now he finally understood the painstaking efforts of the guards.

"I said, Fourth Princess, you're too laid-back. ”

Mu Cheng heard the familiar footsteps behind him, and he knew who it was.

After waiting for such a long time, even Mu Cheng had three points of anger, and unconsciously teased.

"You two, wake me up early in the morning, do you know that I investigated the case last night and didn't sleep all night!

I just squinted for less than half an hour, and I was woken up, and I was dressed up and applied, but I was busy, and you have no conscience and blame me for being too slow, hum. ”

I don't know why, this time the fourth princess had such a childish temper, and as she spoke, her hazy sleepy eyes were filled with tears.

It's just that the fourth princess knows what the identities of Mu Cheng and the others are, but the guards around her don't know, and when they heard that someone dared to ridicule the princess and made the fourth princess cry, she was immediately furious.

"Bastard little ghost, Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess, is willing to deign to come to you, it is already your blessing, and you dare to say irresponsible things, let me teach you a lesson. ”

As he spoke, the guard wanted to capture Mu Cheng first.

Early in the morning, there are really a lot of people who drink morning tea.

These people, in general, live a more comfortable life, but lack some stimulation, and they stretch their necks when they see the excitement.

At this time, the fourth princess suddenly woke up from a half-dream, remembered her previous words, and suddenly felt bad, and just as she wanted to open her mouth to stop it, the guard flew past her at a faster speed.

When the other guards saw their teammates being knocked away, they looked at Mu Cheng with their fists outstretched in disbelief, froze for a moment, and immediately put on a fighting posture.

And Mu Cheng just looked indifferently at the guard who was knocked to the ground, withdrew his hand, and said lightly.

"I'm talking to the fourth princess of your family, do you have the right to interject?

The relationship between Mu Cheng and the fourth princess was already tense, if it weren't for Xiao Chi's request, he probably wouldn't have cooperated with this girl for the rest of his life.

The other tea guests saw that Mu Cheng was so arrogant near the palace, and they all showed different attitudes when they didn't agree with each other.

The timid and fearful ones quietly turned their heads and pretended to drink tea and saw nothing.

Those who dared to watch the play looked at Mu Cheng with a strange smile, as if Mu Cheng was already a prisoner on the gallows.

Others, shaking their heads, with a look of regret, regretted that Mu Cheng was too sharp at a young age, and offended people who should not be offended.

"Stop! Get out of here! Drag this idiot down!

Originally, the fourth princess wanted to continue to fall asleep and get a little closer to Mu Cheng, but she never thought that she would bring out such an unlucky thing.

The words of the fourth princess surprised everyone, and they all looked at Mu Cheng with suspicious eyes.

"What are you still stunned for!

The fourth princess saw that she was saving the guards, but the pigs were still not moving, and she became even more angry.

At this time, the group of guards woke up as if they had just woken up from a dream, and only replied, picked up the fallen guards and left the teahouse.

The tea guest watched the fourth princess walk to Mu Cheng's table, sat down, and drank tea, as if they were all confused, this slap in the face of the royal family is gone?

"You don't give me face, but I'm also the fourth princess, your partner, and even take you into the palace in a while, so you will give me another public appearance. ”

The fourth princess's face remained unchanged, and she drank tea calmly, and whispered in a voice that only Mu Cheng Xiaochi and the two could hear.

"I didn't ask you, I didn't have you... Hiss. ”

As soon as Mu Cheng was halfway through his words, he felt a sudden heart-piercing pain in his feet.

"Shut up, you! It's not enough to make trouble? I deleted the last incident from my mind, and I want to be friends with the fourth sister, do you hear?"

Xiao Chi glared at Mu Cheng and blamed.

Mu Cheng saw that Xiao Chi said this, so what else could he do, he could only sulk, shut up and drink tea obediently.

Xiao Chi knew that Mu Cheng was unhappy in his heart, so he didn't force him, but just sighed, she was also thinking about Mu Cheng.

"I'm sorry, because I caused you to quarrel, by the way, my name is Gem Night, you can call me Night. ”

The fourth princess saw that the atmosphere between the two was a little stiff, so she wanted to open her mouth to resolve it.

The fourth princess has a good heart, but she really doesn't look at the atmosphere.

Koike smiled awkwardly and waved his hand, indicating that it was okay.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's the orange that's not good. His name is Lie Orange, my name is Lie Chi, Sister Night, you look older than me, just call me Xiao Chi. ”

After a brief introduction, the three of them fell into an embarrassing atmosphere of speechlessness.

"Well, why don't I take you into the palace now?"

The fourth princess really doesn't like the current atmosphere, since there is nothing to say, it is better to enter the palace early.

"Okay, let's talk as we go, I'll just tell you the results of our investigation. ”

Xiao Chi nodded, got up, grabbed Mu Cheng's arm, and picked him up.

For Mu Cheng, what he was really angry about was that when he saw the fourth princess, he remembered that he couldn't protect Xiao Chi at that time.

And now, he wants to protect Koike, but he is treated like this by Koike.

Maybe his approach was wrong, but that was his attitude.

Of course, the most critical problem is that he understands Koike's kindness, and the conflict between the two feelings makes him a little sulky.

Along the way, Mu Cheng still didn't say a word, and the investigation information in the past few days was all Xiaochi exchanging with the fourth princess.

After listening to Xiao Chi's words, the fourth princess was silent for a while, and sighed a little sadly.

"Is that so? I'm expecting that my investigation and conjecture have gone wrong. ”

After saying this, the fourth princess told the two of them about the relevant investigation in the palace.

After listening to this, Mu Cheng thought for a while and said.

"Do you mean to say that combining the two aspects of investigation, the most likely position is one of the five people, the Dragon King, the Dragon Mother, the Dragon Master, the Dragon Phase, the Dragon General, and your brothers and sisters?"

The fourth princess was a little surprised to find that Mu Cheng was willing to talk, but this was a good thing for her.

"Yes, I haven't been idle during this time, asking around, looking for news, and finally coming to the conclusion that these people are these people.

Although there are many people in the palace who can get the night tea of the stars, they can basically be eliminated based on various considerations. ”

"We've also discussed before that the Mother of Dragons can't do such stupid things, so she can basically rule them out. ”

Xiao Chi nodded and said in a timely manner, while the fourth princess shook her head.

"It can only be said that the probability that the Mother of Dragons will do this thing is very small, but it is not impossible, from another aspect, if the Mother of Dragons is doing the opposite, then we will miss her. ”

Xiao Chi stopped and looked at the fourth princess with a strange expression, and there seemed to be some fear in his eyes.

"Mother of Dragons ... You think it's your mother? I think you're terrible when you say that, your mother. ”

"Oh, you're mistaken, the Mother of Dragons is not my mother, I'm an orphan like you, and the Mother of Dragons is my adoptive mother.

There are five of us brothers and sisters, except for the eldest brother and the younger five, who were born to the dragon mother, everyone else was adopted by the dragon mother. ”

When the fourth princess saw that Xiao Chi had misunderstood, she opened her mouth to explain.

"But even though she didn't give birth to you, she was the one who raised you? ”

"The Mother of Dragons is not the one who really raised me, but the person who raised me in name, and the person who raised me in my heart is my nurse, but as a subordinate, she can't get this name. ”

The fourth princess didn't seem to want to talk about it too much, and just explained lightly.

"What about the others?"

"The Dragon King is said to be in a coma and has not woken up yet, but I have never really seen it; the Dragon Master is the personal brain of the Dragon King, and now he is assisting the Dragon Mother; the Dragon Commander and the Dragon General are in charge of the civil and military officials.

The possibilities of these people, I ranked them from small to large.

In addition, there are five of our brothers and sisters, the eldest brother's whereabouts are still unknown, the second sister is obsessed with running Huichuan Garden, the third brother is obsessed with martial arts, and there is the little five who are still young. ”

The four princesses briefly introduced a few people to Mu Cheng one by one, and for those characters who might have doubts, they briefly said their conjectures.

After listening to Mu Cheng's consideration, he made up his mind.

"Listen to what you mean, the five of you brothers and sisters are the least likely to commit crimes, so let's start with the two most likely ones, Long Xiang and Long Jiang.

But before that, I want to ask you a question, do you know the modus operandi behind the scenes?"

When the fourth princess heard this, she smiled bitterly and spread her hands.

"I'm sorry, I really don't know about this, I've checked countless information, and there are indeed several possibilities that can cause this effect, but it's a pity that these methods, theoretically speaking, are impossible to achieve now, because they have died out with history. ”

Mu Cheng was silent after listening, he understood the meaning of the fourth princess, theoretically it was dead, which meant that everyone could use these techniques, or they might not be useful but a new technique.

There is no means of committing the crime, this murder case is even more complicated, and at this moment, Mu Cheng's mind even flashed the thought of giving up on solving this problem and going back with Xiao Chi after stealing something directly.

But the next moment, Mu Cheng vetoed it, although he didn't stay in this world for a long time, he could be regarded as having met a few friends.

Although Lie'an has changed, and the four princesses were still slashing with them at the beginning, in fact, Mu Cheng recognized them more or less in his heart.

"There are two dragon generals and dragon phases, one for each of us, and the lady is first, you pick first, right?"

Mu Cheng looked at the fourth princess and said casually.

"Then I'll choose the dragon phase, the various information on his side is more complicated, and it may not be so convenient for you to find it. ”

The fourth princess thought for a while and immediately said.

"Okay, it's decided, remember to give me a copy of the dragon general's information, by the way, if you can, those methods, please also give me a detailed information, I want to study it. ”

Xiao Chi looked at the two with a clear division of labor, and smiled secretly, it seemed that the orange had come out of the tip of his horns.
