Chapter 4: The theft of congratulatory gifts
Li Daimei was already nervous and excited, and she was even more overjoyed to be cared for by Yuwen Junyan like this, although she had tried her best to suppress it, Li Daimei's voice still trembled slightly uncontrollably. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yuwen Junyan smiled slightly, took Li Daimei and walked towards the Qiyao Palace, and took her to perform a canonization ceremony and be worshiped by the ministers. However, he suddenly felt a sharp light in his eyes staring at him from somewhere in the middle of nowhere, making his back like a thorn. He couldn't help but turn his head suddenly, but when he looked closely, there was nothing else behind him except the civil and military officials and palace guards with their heads down.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Li Daimei asked with concern.
Yuwen Junyan shook his head, but the desperate and ruthless eyes of Qing Qi'er before her death, the disappointed eyes of Dark Dust, and the unbelievable expressions of the dark guards appeared in her mind for no reason, and the strangeness in her heart gradually magnified.
"King Zhongtong has arrived!"
“……”
……
At this moment, the sound of the announcement came from the gate of the palace, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty knelt down again to pay homage. I saw a man in an ice blue brocade robe smiling lightly, walking extremely fast, with respect for the owner of the palace, but he was calm and calm, revealing the calmness and bearing that a royal family should have.
It is not difficult to find that this person's face is somewhat similar to King Zhongsu, but his temperament is diametrically opposed to King Zhongsu, with a little less seriousness and coldness between his eyebrows, and more gentle and approachable peace. However, the strange thing is that although there are guards behind him, he is holding a large brocade box in his own hands.
"Congratulations to King Beichen on his new marriage, my brother is late for some reason, please forgive me!" Before the person could stand still, Yuwen Tongyi apologized happily, and his tone was sincere, which was unbearable to blame.
And this royal brother made King Beichen frown: "King Beichen is just a small feudal country of Zhonghou Kingdom, and this king is only a small feudal king, how can he afford the sound of King Zhongtong." King Zhongtong came to congratulate him on his order, and the king was grateful, so please sit down and watch the ceremony. ”
Although compared to his attitude towards King Zhongsu, King Beichen's attitude towards King Zhongtong was already polite, but his tone was still lukewarm.
Yuwen Tongyi smiled disapprerovingly, his eyes were like torches: "Brother Wang is not in a hurry to rush this king to take a seat, first see what good gifts this king has prepared for King Beichen to congratulate." ”
As he spoke, he held the delicate and luxurious brocade box in his hand in front of King Beichen. The brocade box is graceful and luxurious, engraved with delicate patterns, and the few sapphires and red agate inlaid on the box alone are priceless.
The box was presented in front of Li Daimei's eyes, despite the red veil, Li Daimei still looked at it carefully, and secretly exclaimed: a box can be so exquisite, I don't know how amazing the treasure inside will be.
However, the king of Beichen took her away from the brocade box, snorted coldly, and said: "Although the country of Beichen is only a small feudal country, there are also many rare treasures, and it is even more pitiful that the congratulatory gifts brought by King Zhongsu at the will of Emperor Zhonghou are even more treasures, it seems that the treasure of King Zhongtong is not needed by this king." ”
Yuwen Tong smiled and said nothing, only lightly pressed on the brocade box, the mechanism was opened, and the brocade box was automatically opened.
When Li Daimei saw the contents of the brocade box, she snorted coldly: "King Zhongtong, this is what you call a baby?" When the civil and military officials heard this, the audience was in an uproar, and all kinds of speculations and comments arose: "This ......"
"Why is there only one ice cube in this box?"
"Could it be that this is the will of Emperor Zhonghou?"
"To humiliate the king and princess so much at the wedding, dare to ask what Zhonghou Guo means?"
“……”
Yuwen Tongyi's eyes stared at the ice cube tightly, and suddenly understood something, and threw Yuwen Hansu with a surprised look, and it happened that Yuwen Hansu was also looking at it with a solemn expression, and the two people with completely different personalities rarely ordered at the same time: "Open all the boxes you brought!" ”
The situation was serious, and the accompanying guards opened the treasure chests one by one in public very quickly, and everyone present was stunned and amazed, the boxes of treasures had long been gone, and they had all been replaced with ice cubes without knowing when!
In addition to being shocked, everyone was puzzled! Because it is a congratulatory gift and a gift from the emperor, there are naturally elite heavy soldiers guarding along the way, and even at the post station, there are special guards at all times.
What's even more strange is that it was the height of summer, and the ice cubes in the brocade box had not left the slightest trace after a long journey, not even a drop of water stains, which ......
Everyone present was extremely shocked, except for one person, that was King Beichen, for him, it was not the first time that a similar theft had happened. One after another, important items have been found to be stolen from the palace, and even some urgent military supplies have been unknowingly stolen during transportation.
However, the stolen materials and treasures were distributed to the beggars or poor people in the city, in order to protect the face of the royal family, he has not publicized the matter, but has been secretly investigating for more than a few months, however, after so long, there is still not a trace of clues, which undoubtedly brings great hidden dangers to him and the Beichen feudal country.
However, this ice does not melt in the middle of summer, and there is not even a trace of water stains, and someone must be secretly controlling it nearby!
King Beichen was thoughtful, and suddenly raised his head to carefully inspect the surroundings, suddenly, as if he had found something, and before anyone could react, his luck suddenly jumped up!
Almost at the same time, King Zhongtong and King Zhongsu also chased in the same direction as King Beichen! When Li Daimei, who didn't know why, and the civil and military officials reacted, they saw three figures of red, white, and blue passing by, and disappeared in an instant!
The theft of the emperor's congratulatory gifts, the gathering of the three kings, and the loss of the bride by the king of Beichen are missing, this one by one, has already made the civil and military officials in an uproar, Li Daimei is even more angry, shouted a few times After the king of Beichen did not get a response, he slammed the phoenix crown on his head to the ground and left angrily.
And the eyes of King Beichen, King Zhongsu, and King Zhongtong are now only the silver-faced son who has just been discovered.
Only one organization can steal the imperial treasures under the noses of elite heavy soldiers without being detected at all, and even more so in the scorching summer, only one organization can do it-Water Killing Pavilion! However, the whereabouts of the Water Killing Pavilion have never been known, and their appearance in Kyoto today is the only chance they can find the Water Killing Pavilion!
The three of them followed closely behind the silver-faced boy, chasing after him, sweeping over Kyoto like a dragonfly, and the silver-faced boy was extremely light, but seemed to be deliberately leading them to a place, always controlling the speed, not letting the two sides go too far, and finally disappeared in the most lively eight music workshops on the outskirts of Beijing.
