Chapter 773: Drinking to Eliminate Sorrows
Bei Xiao Nan naturally walked to Lin Huixin and sat down, and Changfeng sat down next to Jin Ruoxin quietly. Jin Haoran, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, pulled Ximen Yuqing to sit in the empty seat between the two of them, just opposite Lin Wan across the table.
Lin Wan greeted everyone and set off, picking his favorite dishes to eat. Although after listening to Concubine Yu's admonition, her movements were much more elegant, but the speed was still not flattering.
When Lin Wan finished eating and put down the chopsticks, Jin Haoran and Ximen Yuqing had a glass of wine.
The small bowl in front of Jin Ruoxin and Lin Huixin was full of dishes that Changfeng and Bei Xiaonan had sandwiched for them, and they obviously hadn't eaten a few bites yet.
Bei Xiaonan put another piece of pastry into the small plate in front of Lin Huixin, smiled slightly, and said gently: "Huixin, this is the ginseng jujube glutinous rice cake that Miss Xiaoqi specially made for you, you eat more." ”
Lin Huixin nodded shyly, and also sandwiched a piece of beef for Bei Xiao Nan, and said in a low voice: "Anan, you can eat it too." ”
Ximen Yuqing saw some clues, shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "No wonder Brother Bei didn't even touch his favorite wine in the past, it turned out that it was because he wanted to cooperate with his sister-in-law to give birth to the little prince of Beichen." My sister-in-law is really blessed! Brother Bei is obsessed with wine, and he has never been shaken by his beauty. ”
Lin Huixin was ridiculed by Ximen Yuqing, and she was even more ashamed to find a crack in the ground to get into.
Bei Xiao Nan laughed, stretched out his big hand, took Lin Huixin into his arms, and said with a heroic smile: "Wisdom is enough in this life! What kind of wine, what kind of beauty, it's just floating clouds, and it can't be compared to the chance of wisdom." ”
Everyone laughed, Lin Huixin blushed with shame, and quietly twisted it on Bei Xiao Nan's thigh. It's a pity that Bei Xiaonan's thighs are as hard as iron, I'm afraid that even Lin Huixin's hand hurts, and Bei Xiaonan doesn't have any consciousness yet.
Changfeng let out a long sigh in his voice and said, "Alas, Brother Bei, you have already hugged the beauty, so you have nothing else to ask for." But our hard-working brothers, stimulated by the two of you, can only use wine to kill their sorrows. As he spoke, he glanced at Jin Ruoxin sadly. Then pretending to be miserable, he drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.
Jin Haoran also sighed, picked up the wine jug, filled a glass to Changfeng, nodded and agreed: "Brother Changfeng is right, we won't get drunk today." ”
Then, he poured a full glass of wine for Ximen Yuqing and himself, and the three of them raised their glasses together and drank with their heads up.
Lin Wan secretly looked at Kapok Zi who was standing behind her, and saw her eyes staring straight at Bei Xiao Nan and Lin Huixin, her eyes full of resentment and grief. Thankfully, she didn't see any change in her complexion because she had potions and disfigurement cream on her face.
And Bei Xiao Nan and Lin Huixin only had each other in their eyes at the moment, and they didn't notice the kapok who had been staring at them.
Only Ximen Yuqing noticed that Lin Wan had been secretly looking at his maid, and couldn't help but be a little curious. But seeing that this maid was a fresh face, I guessed in my heart that maybe because this maid was new, so Lin Wan paid more attention to her.
Changfeng, Ximen Yuqing, and Jin Haoran drank wine, Bei Xiaonan drank tea and accompanied each other, and the four of them chatted about the strange things in various places.
Lin Wan, Jin Ruoxin, and Lin Huixin also got together to chat and talked about what happened after entering the palace today.
Early this morning, the prince and princess of Dongli Kingdom, the prince of Xiling Kingdom, and the prince and princess of Beichen Kingdom entered the palace together to see Zhou Chang'an, the emperor of Dafeng Kingdom.
After Zhou Changan got the news, he hurriedly dispersed the early dynasty, took the eldest prince, the third prince, the sixth prince and the seventh prince, as well as the two prime ministers on the left and right, to the Qinzheng Palace to meet the five distinguished guests.
Bei Xiaonan, as a representative of several of them, first explained his intention to Zhou Changan straight to the point. Then, he politely asked, "Uncle Zhou, it's been a night since this happened, I wonder if your country has found out the origin of the assassins?"
Zhou Changan nodded in embarrassment and said, "Don't hide it from your virtuous nephews, since yesterday's incident, I have sent a large number of Yulin troops to thoroughly investigate this matter. Although some eyebrows were also found, those two groups of assassins were not the people of Dafeng, but the people of Nanyue and Xiling. And they were all killed on the spot, leaving no one alive. Therefore, for the time being, the mastermind behind the scenes has not been identified. ”
Bei Xiao Nan nodded and said, "This matter is complicated, involving the Nanyue Kingdom and the Xiling Kingdom, and it is indeed a little difficult for Uncle Zhou to find out the truth." However, Wan'er's safety really worries Prince Ben and the princess, I don't know what Uncle Zhou's countermeasures are?"
Zhou Changan nodded solemnly, and said with a straight face: "I have already sent the Yulin Army to guard the Lin Xiangfu, as long as those assassins dare to come again, I will definitely capture them alive and give you an explanation." ”
Ximen Yuqing hooked his lips and smiled, and suddenly said: "Uncle Zhou, in addition to the two groups of assassins that General Feng saw later, there was actually a third group of killers yesterday. It's just that the last three killers are too high in martial arts, and we don't have the ability to leave them behind, and when General Feng came, they were already gone. ”
Zhou Changan asked suspiciously: "What are the characteristics of those people, who are they? Ximen Xian's nephew, what clues do you have?"
Ximen Yuqing shook his head helplessly, and said: "I don't know who the other party is, I only know that those people are strong in martial arts, and they are all from the capital of the Great Sealing Kingdom." Among them, the leader is more than a hundred years old, but he still personally attacked a powerless woman from the county lord of Wanxin, I don't know who instructed him, what is the deep hatred?"
Zhou Changan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and blurted out: "It's more than a hundred years old, how did the virtuous nephew know?"
Ximen Yuqing hooked his lips and smiled, and replied lightly: "It was the man who said it himself." After a pause, he looked at Zhou Changan's thoughtful expression, and asked suspiciously, "Could it be that Uncle Zhou already knows the origin of that person?"
Zhou Changan immediately shook his head and said, "I don't know the origin of that person, but I will send someone to investigate." A master of the rivers and lakes who is over 100 years old should not be difficult to find. ”
Ximen Yuqing nodded and said politely: "Okay, then thank you Uncle Zhou." ”
Jin Ruoxin also took a step forward, blessed Zhou Changan slightly, raised his head, and said slowly: "Uncle Zhou, Wan'er is the most beloved little daughter of my father and mother, if there is any mistake, I can't explain it to them, and please Uncle Zhou take more effort, don't let this happen again, thank you!"
Jin Haoran also walked to Jin Ruoxin's side, bowed, and said politely: "Uncle Zhou, if we have any offense in our words, please forgive Uncle Zhou." It was really because Wan'er almost lost her life at the hands of the assassin yesterday, and we were all very worried, so we entered the palace together and asked Uncle Zhou for help. ”
