Chapter 45: The Strange Banquet of the Hongmen

"That's how you like him." He said that he had something to tell me privately, and when the eldest princess moved to the dinner hall with the others, he specially asked me to stay, and it turned out to be such a sentence without a beginning or an end.

"And then?" It's not so much about making a lot of mistakes, it's better to let him finish it all at once.

"You can't promise the eldest princess to be my bodyguard." He warned with great solemnity.

"It's the prince's guard." I emphasize.

He was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and reluctantly accepted this reminder, "Okay, anyway, you can't agree." ”

"If you don't want me to be the prince's bodyguard, go tell the eldest princess yourself." Although she agreed with me to help me find someone, I didn't have much hope, on the contrary, I felt that she just gave me the best excuse to cover up, and it was easier to find someone.

"Of course I can't say." I was about to turn around and go out, but he grabbed me, and he seemed to really don't want me to be the prince's guard, and he followed him all the time.

"Then take it." I waved my hand away from him, "However, Yuan Ying's skills are so good, how can he be weak, or is it that you, as his stand-in, are very bad at kung fu." ”

"Your temper is so bad, Lord Zhaohua, no wonder, Yuan Ying is unwilling to marry you." He smirked and whispered in my ear.

He knows who I am, and he also knows about Yuan Ying, seeing that he is angry and confident now, it doesn't look like he is pretending, but I still don't remember who he is and why he is so similar to Yuan Ying, but it is certain that at least for now, he is on Yuan Ying's side. "Don't you know, I'm already married, but not to Yuan Ying."

"Since you are the dignified queen of Nancheng, don't deign to be the prince of Beishao, you are right, if you spread it, it must not be good for the emperor of Nancheng." He did it again, and it smacked of threat.

"It's okay, Huangfu Xuan's face is big, and I'm not afraid of losing it." I want to know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of this fake Prince Yuwen in front of me. "You're so afraid that I'll become the prince's guard, I'm afraid it's because you don't want to have anything to do with me, in Yuan Ying's mind, you probably knew about my marriage to Nancheng, and chased me to Nancheng, so let you wait here instead of him, if I become the prince's guard and follow you every day to protect you, Yuan Ying, I'm afraid you won't be able to explain."

Sure enough, his face was blue and white for a while, which made me right, and he still didn't give up on strong words, "You are too arrogant, I can have someone quietly send him a letter to say that you have arrived at the eldest princess's mansion." ”

"Then go and carry the letter." I am sure that he will not do this, otherwise he would not have asked me to refuse the eldest princess's mention in person so strongly, although I don't know what he is calculating, but in terms of his mind, he is definitely not Yuan Ying's opponent, maybe his careful thinking has already been figured out by Yuan Ying.

"You." He was so angry that he pulled me by the collar.

"I don't know if my aunt will think that the prince is naturally weak, gentle and kind." The voice of the Second Highness came from outside the door, the fake prince panicked, and withdrew his hand weakly, but I found that the Second Highness had just stood still, and I was afraid that he hadn't heard anything, otherwise with his flamboyant and domineering character, he would have shouted out a long time ago.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me about the eldest princess being ambushed by gangsters outside the city, and when she heard that the carriage had overturned and fell to the ground, I was afraid that she was so excited that she couldn't control herself for a while." I explained out loud that although this prince is fake, after all, he is acting as a stand-in for Yuan Ying, whether it is Yuan Ying or Yu Wenzheng, I have to help him round this game.

"The prince is really busy, and he cares about such small things as he cares about the world." The words of the Second Highness are very uncomfortable to hear, that look is really very inadequate, I have seen many such unbeatable and high-minded people, but like him, who wants to be above others, but tramples others to worthless, it is really a minority.

The false prince didn't dare to argue with him like he had just done with me, he was a little afraid of His Royal Highness the Second Highness, and explained in a serious manner, "Even if it's my aunt's business, how can it be a trivial matter." ”

"The Second Highness is both martial and martial, and he can be called a hero, how can he be greedy for life and afraid of death, it is not surprising that such a thing is a trivial matter." A guy who doesn't understand the suffering of the world and is not good at disguise, no matter how ambitious such a person is, it is difficult for him to control himself properly.

"Hmph." His Royal Highness was full of disdain and was extremely arrogant, "For the crown prince, I'm afraid that nothing is a trivial matter, in the past, the golden house was hidden, and now he is busy dealing with the daughter of the Gao family, this world in Beishao, sooner or later, someone will be in charge." ”

With that, he raised his gray-black brocade robe and walked away.

It's too arrogant. "Make a deal with you, if you keep it secret for me and don't report my whereabouts to Yuan Ying, I will never interfere with you using his identity as Prince Yuwen to get close to the daughter of the Gao family."

"What the hell do you want to do?" He was right.

Why, I think he is very cautious in this sentence, unlike the one who was originally cautious and afraid of being discovered, he seems to be a little defensive of me, as if he is afraid that I will threaten something, is it because, the daughter of the Gao family, or Yuan Ying? His worries are directly related to his identity, "It has nothing to do with the people of Beishao, I came to find someone." Based on Yuan Ying's black belly, I'm afraid that I am already in Nancheng now, and Huangfu Xuan is bound to buy me time, but it won't be long before he finds out that I am not in Nancheng, and I will use this method He will not be difficult to guess that I secretly went to Beishao. I need to find the person I'm looking for before he notices. ”

"In that case, it's harmless to me, deal." The cunning in his eyes doubled slightly, and he readily agreed, but this person, although he is not ruthless enough, but his mind has become too fast, I am afraid that he is not a trustworthy master, it seems that I need to be a little faster than planned.

Just looking at the scale of the construction of this eldest princess's mansion, you can probably understand the weight of this eldest princess in her imperial brother's heart, no wonder she wants to pretend to be an indifferent and useless outsider to protect herself, there are still people who refuse to let him go, at least four times larger than the Ning Wangfu I have seen, some details are extremely exquisite, I am afraid that from this point of view, you can predict the words of this eldest princess, and you can make the emperor of Beishao change his mind.

At dinner, I finally saw the horse master I heard from Gong Li's mouth, the commander of the left captain, Zhao Yu. But unlike the impression I had in Gong Li's description, this horse master is the same as the eldest princess, gentle, elegant, and indifferent people, although he is a military general, but his temperament is elegant, and he talks generously and funny, and he sits next to the eldest princess.

No matter how you look at it, they are a rare and very compatible couple in this world.

Everyone sat down, and the maid standing on the side began to pour wine for the people at the table, but the master of the horse got up himself, and tested the temperature of the wine pot with the back of his hand from the side of the wine that was being warmed, and carefully poured wine for the eldest princess, "The sky will change in a few days, I am worried that your body will be uncomfortable again, I will let you have a warm wine, but you still have to drink less, be careful and have a headache." ”

The eldest princess smiled, and let him fill her glass with warm wine. She looked at the master of the horse and stretched out her hand to roll up her long sleeves for him, "Look at you, you always go to get these things yourself, get your clothes wet, and leave these little things to the next person to do." ”

"It's fine." The horse lord looked down at the sleeves that were rolled up, and then looked at the eldest princess, and said with a doting smile in his eyes.

No matter how you look at these two people, they can be called eyebrows, and they are by no means like Gong Li said.

"The horse is really careful, the dignified Zuo Du Lieutenant commanded the envoy, and he warmed the wine for his aunt for ten years." The words came out of the mouth of His Royal Highness the Second Highness, no matter how he listened to them, they were all full of mockery, by no means as simple as he said, but it was such a seemingly unintentional sentence, which suddenly made the whole table feel a little embarrassed.

I just thought that these two highnesses were hostile to everyone, but this sudden silence made people have to doubt, although the second highness has a bad temper and a bad mouth, maybe he really knows anything and can't say anything.

However, the eldest princess calmed down first, and smiled gracefully, "Che'er, it's been so many years, how can you still call him a concubine, he is your uncle after all." ”

"Yes." He almost snorted through his nose, and his expression was full of provocation at the pony master.

"It's okay, Your Royal Highness is used to anything." But the master directly ignored the provocation of the extremely strict smell of gunpowder, and turned his head to relieve the eldest princess.

"You're just spoiling these kids." The eldest princess said angrily, "Although he is the son of the emperor's brother, he wants to call me an aunt, but you love them more than me, an aunt, lest I blame them a little." ”

From this point of view, this concubine should be a kind and kind person, his carefulness to the eldest princess is not like pretending, pretending, he can't pretend to look at the eldest princess, is it true that they have been married for many years and have no children, is it really just an accident?

Seeing that these two people are in love and respect each other, maybe because their husband and wife are not people who care about fame and fortune, and they don't care about how the folk circulate before they make an explanation, but they always feel that something is not quite right.

As soon as the eldest princess was about to take the eldest princess's hand, the eldest princess raised her hand and put the hibiscus crab with chopsticks in her hand and put it in the porcelain bowl in front of me.

This action seems to be smooth, without a trace of error, even the hesitation of that moment is well disguised, and the two end the entire coherent action with eye contact, still deeply affectionate.

"If it weren't for Ye Gongzi's righteous action, I really don't dare if the palace would be able to sit here and eat at this moment, maybe it was the will of heaven that sent such a young hero to the palace and saved the palace." The eldest princess carefully explained to the people present, this word sounded very polite, but there was no lack of deeper meaning.

"The princess has spoken, I'm afraid that any person who practices martial arts will not be indifferent when he passes by." It's just that I don't understand, an eldest princess, why the accompanying guards can't even beat a few people in black, even if those people are really unfathomable, but the guards around the eldest princess can't be so vulnerable.

Obviously, someone is putting water in it, and these people can be arranged, either this seemingly affectionate concubine, or this seemingly gentle and atmospheric eldest princess. If it wasn't for her, then she probably knew who was going to attack her, otherwise, she wouldn't have asked me to protect the prince, but should have asked me to protect her.

"In any case, Gongzi is Hui'er's life-saving benefactor, and he should be thanked by Zhao Yu, this glass of wine, I respect Gongzi." The horse lord raised his head and did it all.

I followed.

It's not him, unless his acting skills are really good, and there is no flaw at all, he is not deliberately covering up or shirking anything, but it gives me the feeling that it is enough to show that he is truly grateful to me for the fact that I saved the princess.

Could it really be that the eldest princess single-handedly arranged this ambush? If I hadn't shown up at the time, wouldn't she have been killed, and for what?

As this seemingly prosperous Hongmen banquet came to an end, I slipped out under the pretext of sobering up.

I always feel uneasy, I feel that if he knows that I sneaked into Beishao, I will never be able to find the person I want to find anymore, this feeling is getting stronger and stronger, Yu Wenzheng, or Yuan Ying, he has too many secrets, what he wants to hide and what I want to figure out, maybe the same thing.

Suddenly, I felt a chill behind me, instinctively turned sideways to avoid it, and an arrow shot straight in front of me, stabbing hard at a tree. It was the false prince, and I looked back and saw that he was running away in a hurry, and I reached out and threw off the arrow.

The hem of his clothes was pierced into the wall by a broken arrow, nailed to the wall, and the whole man was wolf. "It turns out that you really don't know kung fu."

He jerked hard, trying to pull the hem out, glaring at me viciously.

"Why did you do that?" I asked him, my eyes glancing at the broken arrow, I couldn't figure it out, no matter how fast his mind changed, but I could feel that the arrow just now, he was determined to take my life.

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be a stand-in anymore." Unconvinced, he turned his head away.

I leaned down to remove the broken arrow and held it up to him, "I thought we had made a deal. ”

"In Dongfu, the old emperor and Fu Ang are protecting you, in Xiyi, there are guards to protect you, and now, you have even joined forces with Huangfu Xuan, it is you who deceived Yuan Ying to Nancheng, and now there is only you and me in Beishao, I want to get rid of you, I only have this opportunity." He swung the broken arrow.

"You hate me so much." I still can't remember what I had to do with him, and I don't understand what he said about Xiyi and Wei Liang has anything to do with me, but I know, "You can't replace Yuan Ying." ”

"How do you know I can't do it." He was stunned for a moment, and then turned his head sideways.

"You want to replace him, I'm afraid he already knows, he can still let you go free and stay in Beishao Palace instead of him, because he is sure enough, you can't turn the game, he is far more insidious than you and I calculated, give up." I seem to have lost a memory, and since I returned to the palace, I can't remember a memory before, so I don't remember what kind of holiday I had with you. I said frankly, "I was just wondering who you are." Although I haven't remembered it yet, but now, I'm afraid I already have the answer, you are ninety percent similar to him, the age is similar, but the mind is not as good as his scheming, Yuan Ying's skills are unfathomable, but you can only sneak attack and fail to run away in a hurry, he left the country and let you replace him, play the role of Prince Yuwen, except that he calculated that you can't do it, I'm afraid he himself doesn't know, he also wants to trust your secret, in this case, you must be related to him by blood. ”

He was speechless.

"If you guess correctly, you should be the same as him, surnamed Yuan, an orphan of the country of phoenix relics." Only for this reason can Yuan Ying trust him so much, and blood is thicker than water. "Moreover, I said that you can't replace him, and there is another reason, because you will not hurt him either."
