Chapter 39: Why don't you ask this king to help you?
At this time, Murong Bai was leading his troops everywhere to find yesterday's assassin, and for a while, people in the Xiling Capital were panicked. Although Murong Qingxue sued him for a solution yesterday, he also understood that it was indeed difficult to invite Dongfang Yunrui on his own, so he would not use yesterday's plan until the last moment.
"General, after looking for so long, we still don't have any clues, and the day after tomorrow is a three-day period. Deputy General Gu Cheng said worriedly.
Murong Bai didn't know that he was looking for a needle in a haystack, but even so, he couldn't give up searching, and his face was solemn: "Keep looking, be sure to find clues." ”
After Gu Cheng got the order, he led a team of men and horses to continue the search. Murong Bai looked at the guards who were shuttling through the crowd in a hurry, and he was also confused.
"Master, master!" followed the prestige, it turned out to be Lai'an.
Murong Bai's face was surprised, at this time, Lai'an was not in the mansion, how could he come here, so he asked him what was going on.
Lai An said: "Master, Lord Rui arrived in the mansion, thinking that there was something important to discuss." Now in the snow garden, the villain is afraid that the little guy will not be able to speak clearly, so he personally ran to tell the master. ”
Lord Rui? Murong Bai was suspicious in his heart, didn't Prince Rui just get seriously injured yesterday, how did he get to the General's Mansion at this moment? Murong Bai didn't dare to slack off, so he went back to the mansion first.
On the way, he met Jiang Tianxing's father and son, who were going to the general's mansion together, and returned home together.
Murong Bai originally arranged for Lai'an to take Jiang Tianxing and his son to sit in the hall first, and then go to greet Dongfang Yunrui by himself. But Jiang Tianxing felt that it was inappropriate, with the status of Prince Rui, how could he dare to be a general of Zhenyuan, so he went to Xueyuan with Jiang Chen.
At this time, Dongfang Yunrui was quietly reading a book next to the peach blossom tree, his expression was serene, and the sun was pouring on a peach tree, which also reflected his moon-like face. Murong Qingxue cooked a pot of tea for him next to him, calmly and quietly, and the pearl of the South China Sea on his neck was lined with snow-like skin, which was very bright and shining.
"Miss, the master is here with General Jiang and Major General, and he will be at the door immediately. Xinyun hurriedly came over to report.
Dongfang Yunrui didn't raise his eyelids, turned a page of the book, took a sip of the freshly cooked tea: "It's coming, it's coming, what's the fuss about, disturbing the aroma of this tea." Murong Qingxue looked at his light expression, lowered her eyebrows and smiled lightly, her heart was at a loss, and she looked at the young lady stupidly. Murong Qingxue waved her hand and motioned for her to go down first, and Xinyun quickly retreated as if she had been amnestied.
"By the way, you didn't come today just to ask me about last night, did you?" asked Murong Qingxue.
Dongfang Yunrui put down the book and said with a smile: "No, I just want to come and see you." ”
The woman opposite bowed her head and was silent, and Dongfang Yunrui approached her: "After being poisoned yesterday, I was a little scared in my consciousness. Although Ping Yang's medical skills are outstanding, he is a little panicked when he thinks that if something happens and he will never see you again. ”
It's true, but it's hard not to be moved.
While speaking, Murong Bai and his party had already arrived.
"The minister saw the prince Rui, I didn't know that the prince was coming, there was a loss of welcome, and the prince waited for a long time, the sin of the minister. Murong Bai's face was panicked, making Prince Rui wait for so long, he could be said to be the first person, he didn't dare to raise his head, and waited for it to fall.
When Murong Qingxue saw her father kneeling, she also bowed down, Dongfang Yunrui stretched out her hand to support her hand, and asked her to salute, nor did she salute. Murong Qingxue was very helpless, Dongfang Yunrui smiled warmly at her, helped her up, and made her face red again. This tiny expression was seen by Jiang Chen, who was kneeling on the ground, and his heart was inexplicably a little sour.
Dongfang Yun Ruihui's usual cold expression made several people calm down and did not pursue the others, which made Murong Bai's heart a little relieved.
"General Zhenyuan and Major General are also there?" Dongfang Yunrui asked, this time Jiang Tianxing's father and son were summoned to Beijing, and he had also heard about it, so why did he go to Murong Bai's mansion, which surprised him.
Jiang Tianxing hurriedly replied: "Back to the prince, the minister and Brother Murong are in-laws, and the minister's sister is Brother Murong's, a flat wife." ”
Dongfang Yunrui nodded, it turned out that there was such a relationship, he asked casually. Jiang Tianxing couldn't see any expression on Dongfang Yunrui's face, he didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't know what he was thinking. But when he thought that the three holy princes of the world today were indifferent in temperament, and their joy and anger were invisible, they no longer took it to heart. Jiang Chen's eyes kept looking at Murong Qingxue, a woman in a pale green dress, with bright eyes and a pleasant beauty. Even in front of Lord Rui, who everyone is afraid of, she is still calm and calm, neither afraid nor deliberately welcomed, she is really not an ordinary woman.
Dongfang Yunrui noticed Jiang Chen's gaze, and immediately showed displeasure, and a layer of frost condensed on his face. Murong Qingxue found out, and sighed in her heart, afraid that with Dongfang Yunrui's character, something would happen, so she preemptively spoke: "Is my cousin here to see Erniang today?"
This sentence not only shows that his relationship with him is only a brother and sister, but also sets aside his relationship with him, after all, he is not to see himself. Dongfang Yunrui's face really softened a little, and he no longer looked at him. Jiang Chen replied gratefully: "Today, Ben and my father visited my aunt together, and I met my uncle on the way, so I came together. ”
I see. It's just that Murong Bai and Jiang Tianxing were puzzled in their hearts, when did Jiang Chen become so familiar with Murong Qingxue that he actually called him cousin. It's just a fleeting thought, and there's nothing wrong with that.
"Lord Wang, do you need to move to the hall?" Murong Bai always felt that it was not suitable in his daughter's yard, so he made a suggestion. However, Dongfang Yunrui didn't mind, sat down directly, and took a cup of tea to taste.
Murong Bai and the three of them looked at each other, and they had no choice but to stand aside. Lai'an didn't dare to disturb, so he retreated first.
"I don't know why the prince came to the cold house, is the prince's injury better?"
"No problem. Today's visit was originally to inquire about the progress of the search for the Assassins, how is the current progress?" Dongfang Yunrui paused for a moment, and turned to ask about the Assassins.
Murong Bai shook his head and sighed, clueless.
Jiang Tianxing asked, "But the assassin who assassinated the emperor yesterday?"
Murong Bai nodded: "Exactly." This man's martial arts are extremely high, I realized that it was too late, the assassin was so fast, I didn't even see the way his martial arts came from, it was too late to stop him. Fortunately, Prince Rui stopped it in time, which protected the emperor. ”
Murong Bai's tone revealed self-blame, and more of an unwillingness to be unable to do so.
"Fortunately, there is a prince, otherwise, the consequences are really unimaginable. Murong Bai's eyes were full of admiration, although Dongfang Yunrui was also injured in the process of saving the emperor, but the clear-eyed people present knew at a glance that if he fought alone, the assassin was not his opponent at all, but at that time, everyone's attention was attracted by others, and the assassin came too fast, the sword qi was too strong, and it was too late to stop it when he found out, fortunately, it was Rui Wangye, if he was someone else, not only would he not be able to hurt that person, but he would also be killed on the spot.
Jiang Tianxing didn't say anything anymore, after all, Murong Bai said so, and it wouldn't be of much use if he was there.
Dongfang Yunrui raised his eyes and asked lightly: "Father gave you three days to investigate, and now half a day has passed, can you be sure of the rest of the time?"
Hearing this, Murong Bai's face turned pale, and he still shook his head in a cold sweat.
"Then you, why don't you ask this king to help you?" As soon as Dongfang Yunrui's words came out, everyone present was shocked and couldn't believe it. But he didn't care, and said slowly: "Those who fake horses will not benefit their feet, but will lead to thousands of miles; A gentleman is not different, and he is good at things. General Murong should know that with your strength, you will not be able to find the assassin at all, let alone catch the assassin. ”
Murong Bai nodded in agreement, but he couldn't guess Dongfang Yunrui's thoughts. You must know that you have never had a relationship with him, and with his character, it is impossible to take care of such idle matters.
"Lord Wang, do you really want to help Weichen?" Murong Bai asked uncertainly.
"Ling Ran, you will assist General Murong in tracking down the assassins in the past two days, and I will have the results before tomorrow evening. Dongfang Yunrui didn't say much, but directly ordered Ling Ran.
When Murong Bai heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and thanked him, he didn't expect that Dongfang Yunrui would arrange for Ling Ran to help him, but this was indeed true. Ling Ran is close to him, and the high level of martial arts is needless to say, he actually used Ling Ran, what a glory this is. Yu Guang glanced at Dongfang Yunrui, there was no expression on his face, he was just drinking tea quietly, but occasionally looked up at Murong Qingxue, and suddenly understood a little in his heart that he still borrowed Qingxue's light after all.
"Well, the tea has been drunk, and the king will go first. Dongfang Yunrui got up and said lightly.
Murong Bai, Jiang Tianxing and the others hurriedly saluted and glanced at Murong Qingxue: "Lord Wang, it's better to let Qingxue send you." ”
Dongfang Yunrui nodded, the two of them went out one after the other, and the three people in the back looked at each other, fortunately, there was no danger. When they were far away, they turned back to the hall.
"Do you really want Ling Ran to help my father? You have always been alone and don't care about idle things. Murong Qingxue said.
Dongfang Yunrui smiled, he recognized Murong Qingxue's words. She was right, she had always been alone, and no one's business had anything to do with him.
"Is it because of me?"
"He's your father after all, isn't he? You said that Murong Qingyi is your enemy, but it can be seen from the sachet incident that you still have feelings for your father. So, this king will do it for you, isn't it?"
Murong Qingxue looked at the person in front of him who was as gentle as jade, he actually knew himself so well, so he smiled.
"Who do you think the Assassins would have sent?"
"These things don't need my heart, Ling Ran can do it. Dongfang Yunrui was confident, he believed in Ling Ran very much, whether it was martial arts or resourcefulness, just like believing in himself.
Unknowingly, when he walked to the door, Murong Qingxue said goodbye to him, but was stopped by him.
"What's wrong, is there anything else?" asked Murong Qingxue.
"It's nothing, there's a peach blossom in your hair. Dongfang Yunrui stretched out his hand to take off the petals, stroked her long hair, his eyes fell on the pearl on her neck, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Ling Ran, go home!"
Looking at the departing figure and the pearl on her neck, Murong Qingxue lowered her eyebrows and smiled.
