The smart dulcimer and the resentful Xiao sound set off Hua Dan's slender singing voice, echoing in the entire opera garden, and I don't know when there was a white envelope in her hand.

The writer seemed to be sure that she would come, but the letter that should have been received tomorrow was delivered to her.

*

The north wind was bleak, and the surface of the lake condensed into ice, and you could still vaguely see a few figures digging ice caves.

The prince, who was belated, led General Hai and several important henchmen to Mr. Lu, who was fishing, and raised his eyebrows disapprenously.

The first to speak: "Your Excellency, it must be Mr. Lu, who is not as famous as meeting." ”

The man in the cloak glanced at him, and silently continued to look at the fishing line hanging on the ice, still silent.

Seeing this, the prince was a little annoyed, how could he, who was in a high position, have suffered such idleness, and a rebellious minister and thief who collaborated with the enemy and rebelled dared to put up a fight in front of them.

He sneered, "Hmph. ”

Yu Xiangfeng, who was beside Mr. Lu, stepped forward and said, "Don't be angry with the prince first, my husband just didn't have a good rest last night and suffered from some wind and cold. ”

Hearing this, the color on the prince's face was even more ugly, what does this mean? In other words, this person is just not willing to bow down to himself.

What's the use of those who don't want to surrender to themselves?

"Someone comes."

As soon as the prince gave the order, the archers who were lying in ambush nearby all tightened their bowstrings and aimed hundreds of sharp arrows at the man in the robe.

Yu Xiangfeng rolled his eyes and saw the situation clearly, but he didn't have a timid look.

He made a compilation with both hands, bowed down and said, "I still advise the prince to not act rashly." ”

"Why?" The prince smiled and said arrogantly: "Now the whole situation is in my hands, of course, including your gentleman who is 'silent' and 'has no one in his eyes', if there is no one in my hands, none of you will think about getting out alive from here today!" ”

"Don't be in a hurry, listen to Xiang Feng's words first, and then judge whether to release arrows?"

Yu Xiangfeng's posture and voice were equally low, but his eyes were as cunning as loaches.

General Hai pushed the prince in the wooden wheelchair and took a few steps forward.

I saw that the prince smiled and said: "Come on, let's talk about it, what other chips do you have, can you beg me and let you go?" ”

The cunning man lowered his eyes slightly, glanced at the man in the cloth, and said indifferently: "The prince doesn't know, a large amount of gunpowder is buried near the hut on the shore of this Xuanbing Lake, as long as the gentleman gives an order, our people will blow up the hut and die with the prince, and at that time, we will all be buried under this cold lake, Prince, even if you have more archers ambushed here, it is useless." ”

"Bold Jade Xiangfeng, are you the prince's person or Mr. Lu's person, and you dare to talk to the prince in such a tone?" General Hai cursed angrily.

The crown prince looked around silently, thinking to himself, impossible, when he sent people to ambush, he didn't see other suspicious people.

How could there be a gap for the other party's people to come and bury gunpowder?

"The prince doesn't believe it?"

Yu Xiangfeng raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang not far away, and the sound of the explosion was mixed with the screams of people.

The prince turned back in astonishment, the direction of the explosion was the direction of his archers' ambush, and the bastard actually blew up his people in front of him.

"Now, the prince is credible?" Yu Xiangfeng spread his hands angrily.

General Hai couldn't hold back any longer, he pulled out his knife, wanting to teach Yu Xiangfeng a lesson, "You two-faced dog, I really regret introducing you to His Royal Highness the Prince, you actually have the heart to kill the lord, take your life!" ”

"Ah, wait." The crown prince calmed down, stopped General Hai, and looked at Mr. Lu with a pleasant face: "Presumably, Mr. Lu will not blame this prince... It's tempting. ”

At this time, the silhouette that had been silent finally spoke.

"Temptation?"

Like a string that breaks in silence, it attracts everyone's attention.

"Of course, who did I bring you?"

With that, the prince raised his hand and waved it lightly, allowing the man behind him to step forward.

The man in the lily robe turned his head slightly, revealing half of his bangs on his cheeks and the terrible burn scars on his face.

He looked at the person in front of him with satisfaction, and there was an intriguing smile on his face: "Chenyou, it's really interesting, very interesting." ”

Yu Xiangfeng was a little surprised, he had never seen Mr. Lu smile since he surrendered, this was the first time.

Could it be that there is something special about this Tatsu-sama?

"This official has seen Mr. Lu." Tatsumi said politely.

"Although, I don't know how the prince used to turn you against you, but you are really strange, no matter where you stay, these eyes are still so bright, it is really jealous." Lu Yizhong turned his head and fished carefully and seriously.

The prince looked at Yu Xiangfeng, lowered his voice, and asked: "What does he mean by this, he regards me as his subordinate and himself as Jiang Taigong, does he have to wait until the wisher takes the bait before he is willing to tell me his plan?" ”

"Don't worry, this matter has been arranged for a long time, as long as the news arrives, you can do it." Yu Xiangfeng smiled reassuringly.

"Message?"

As soon as the words fell, a small guy rushed over in a hurry, almost knelt in front of Yu Xiangfeng, raised the scroll and said, "Report, there's news over there." ”

"Good."

Yu Xiangfeng took the scroll, looked at it carefully, and turned back to Mr. Lu and whispered a few words.

I saw that the man in the coat nodded, put away the fishing rod, took off the coat, and walked straight into the house.

"The fish are coming, and it's time to reel in the net."

The unknown prince followed Mr. Lu suspiciously, not quite understanding what this person was thinking, in short, he felt that this person was a madman.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, General Hai, ladies and gentlemen, please take a seat."

Yu Xiangfeng squatted in front of the hearth, took a bamboo spoon, scooped a scoop of hot water and poured it into the teapot, made a pot of hot tea for the prince and Mr. Lu, and handed the teacup over. When he arrived in front of General Hai, the other party turned his face disdainfully.

He said coldly without scruples: "This official can't stand the tea poured on your wall, I'm afraid of losing my life, hum!" ”

Mr. Lu happily drank the tea poured by Yu Xiangfeng and said, "Prince, do you know what I just received?" ”

The prince didn't take the tea, "I don't know, I want to hear about it." ”

"The spies have just received news from Wanxi Kingdom and printed the edict written by the king himself." Mr. Lu said indifferently.

"Wanxi Country? What can the edict of a country that is so barren that its people are dying of hunger that its edict be useful? The prince was puzzled.

Mr. Lu didn't speak, but glanced at Yu Xiangfeng, and he continued to drink tea.

Yu Xiangfeng sat down and said: "The prince doesn't know, since Wanxi opened a few trade routes, the national strength has become stronger and stronger, and now, he is recruiting troops and buying horses to become a strong country, which is just around the corner." ”

"Is that true?" The crown prince was surprised, "However, the monarch of Wanxi Country has never paid attention to business, and he is a mediocre and incompetent person, so it is impossible for Wanxi Kingdom to have such earth-shaking changes." ”

"It seems that the crown prince really doesn't care about the weak, you don't know, after the new monarch succeeded to the throne twelve years ago, he not only recovered the lost territory of defeat, but also vigorously developed and improved the national economy and people's livelihood.

Yu Xiangfeng's words deeply shocked the prince's heart, and he anxiously asked: "What is the content of this edict, and how can he help me, ascend the throne, and unify the six countries." ”

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince." Yu Xiangfeng lowered his eyes slightly, and patiently explained: "It is written that on the day when Minghua and Wan Qiong made peace, the king of Wanxi Kingdom will personally come to Wanqiong to witness the two countries and sign the peace treaty of the three countries at the same time. ”

Hearing this, the prince frowned, a little annoyed.

"Three countries want an alliance? Mr. Lu, what do you mean by this, do you want to disgust me, or do you want to tease me, and when the peace treaty is signed, how can I unify the six countries? ”

"Of course there is, there is danger."

Mr. Lu raised his eyes slightly, and his seemingly godless and empty eyes flashed with a strange and dazzling emotion.

"Organic talent creates a crisis, and harmony will not succeed, you know this, I know, and the king of Wanxi Country also knows, so why did he sign a peace treaty?"

The man's tone was flat, as if he was saying something inconsequential.

"The people of Wanxi Kingdom want to take the opportunity to raise troops and swallow Wan Qiong?" The prince said excitedly.

"Not exactly."

Mr. Lu raised the teacup handed by Yu Xiangfeng, looked at the turquoise tea, rubbed the rim of the cup, and said: "This time, he is willing to come for another matter, I don't know, have you ever heard of Yan Jingtian." ”

"The surname is Yan... Yan Jingtian..."The prince felt that this name was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.

General Hai next to him remembered and said in surprise: "Could it be Wan Qiong's richest man, Yan Jingtian?" ”

"That's the man." Mr. Lu said lightly: "Back then, in order to assist Wan Qiong's monarch to ascend to the throne, he prepared a large sum of money, which was enough to buy a country. ”

Chen You, who was beside him, raised his eyes slightly, and thought deeply, thinking that the rich country was enough to describe the rich.

It turns out that there is also the saying 'rich can buy a country'.

The mysterious man said again: "This money, he hid it in Wanqiong, a very secret place, and it was full of mechanisms, Yan Jingtian must have thought that in the whole world, except for himself, no one could open the mechanism and take out this treasure." ”

The prince's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he asked, "Do you have a way?" ”

"Twelve years ago, Mr. Yan died in a hurry, and he shouldn't have had time to tell his descendants the details of the treasure, but the key to open the treasure should have been left to his eldest daughter, Yan Shunhua."

"In other words, as long as I get the key to the treasure from Yan Shunhua, I can take a step ahead of Wanxi Kingdom and seize the treasure?"

Yu Xiangfeng took over the conversation and said bewildermently: "His Royal Highness the Prince, go and find it, grab the front of Wanxi Kingdom, get the treasure in your hands, and have the food and armor for the army." ”

Chenyou's eyes flickered slightly, and his eyes looked at Yu Xiangfeng with a complicated look.

Although he and Yu Xiangfeng are not close friends, they have also said a few words in the officialdom.

This person used to be upright-minded and served the country and the people, but now, he colluded with foreign enemies and wanted to murder the monarch of the dynasty.

What's even more unbelievable is that Yu Xiangfeng can betray his former sweetheart without any leeway, push her into the jackal and tiger's den, and provoke birds and beasts to compete for food, which is really terrifying.

Mr. Lu suddenly raised his head, and happened to meet Shangchen's complicated gaze.

"It's better to leave this matter to Chenyou, he will definitely be able to get ahead of Wanxi Kingdom and find the key."

"Tatsuyou?" The prince turned his head suspiciously and looked at Chen You.

I saw that this seven-foot man made a compilation with both hands, stepped forward and said: "Back to the prince, this official is willing to follow the work of dogs and horses, catch Yan Shunhua, and seize the key to the treasure, but dare to ask Mr. Lu, what does the key to the treasure look like?" ”

The person in front of him tilted his head slightly, signaling Yu Xiangfeng to hand over the drawings, and Chen You respectfully took the drawings, shocked.

couldn't help but blurt out: "Swastika? ”
