Volume 4 The Envoy Chapter 8 Who is behind the scenes

Completely unaware that he almost disfigured the handsome face of the senior brother and almost caused him to be inhumane, Bei Juese had no dreams all night and slept very well. The next day, when he got up from the bed with a lazy stretch, he was startled by Dong's invincible appearance.

I saw that Dong Wuving, who was in low spirits and resentful, had one side of his face red and swollen, and a few fingerprints could be vaguely seen on it. Bei Juese asked curiously and with concern, "Senior brother, are you injured?" ”

Dong Wushu glared at him, but when he saw him blinking his eyes and looking completely innocent, he couldn't get angry. I had to lower my head and say sullenly: "It's okay!" With that, he ignored him and walked out.

Bei Jue touched his head in confusion, and said to himself, "Why is Senior Brother so strange? ”

Meng Chao came in with a basin of washing water and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, please freshen up." ”

"Okay." Bei Juese came back to his senses and hurriedly freshened up. It's not early, and it seems like everyone is up early.

After he hurriedly freshened up and changed his clothes, Ruan Jinglun seemed to have pinched the time, paced in slowly with a steady posture unique to Confucianism, saluted to the north, and then went straight to the point and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the few black-clothed people we captured yesterday, after interrogation, they confessed that they were the assassins sent by the Second Prince, and the purpose was to assassinate His Royal Highness the Prince. He took out a small token from his sleeve and handed it to Bei Juese, "This token was searched from the man in black in the lead, and the minister recognized that this was a token for the second prince's mansion." ”

Bei Juese took it and saw that it was a bronze medal two inches long and one inch wide, with a flame-like pattern on the top, and the words "Shun Wangfu" were engraved directly below.

Ruan Jinglun said again: "I wonder what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks about this matter? ”

Bei Juese looked at the token in his hand, thought for a while, and said, "Just based on the words of one token and a few assassins, you can't conclude that this matter must be related to Uncle Erwang. ”

"That's right." Dong Wushu didn't know when he would come back, "Minister Wen, I don't know what you think in your heart?" ”

Ruan Jinglun smiled respectfully and said, "I just haven't thought yet, so I came to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's opinion." ”

Dong Wushu glanced at the flawless smile on his face, didn't say anything, just walked over and said to Bei Juese, "Senior brother, this matter looks very suspicious. If it were you, if you wanted to get rid of your opponent, would you let your men kill with your tokens? ”

Bei Juese shook his head and said, "No." If the Assassin fails and is caught, wouldn't it be me who did it to everyone? ”

Dong Wushu nodded and said, "A simple person like you wouldn't do it, and your second uncle shouldn't do this kind of thing to move a stone and hit his own feet." ”

Bei Juese asked rhetorically: "What Senior Brother means is that someone wants me to die, but he doesn't want to be known that he instructed him, and all those who let his subordinates pretend to be Uncle Erwang." In that case, even if you can't succeed in getting rid of me, you can frame Uncle Erwang? ”

Dong Wushu smiled, did not answer his words immediately, and asked Ruan Jinglun instead: "Minister Wen, do you think His Royal Highness the Prince's speculation is reasonable?" ”

Ruan Jinglun said quietly: "It sounds very reasonable. It seems that the minister will have to interrogate the Assassins again. By the way, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the minister still has something to report to you. ”

"What's the matter?"

"There is a long section of the road ahead that has been blocked by pouring landslides, and although we have been given the manpower to mobilize to open the road, the blockage is so serious that it will take at least three days to get the road out."

Bei Juese said: "That's also something that can't be helped. Senior brother, let's go and help open the way. ”

Ruan Jinglun hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a golden body, this kind of thing should be left to the ministers to do, Your Highness, you can stay here and wait for news." ”

Bei Juese said: "Everyone is working hard to open the way, why can I sit here and wait for news?" Minister Wen, in which direction is the road blocked by landslides? I'm going to check it out now! ”

Ruan Jinglun hesitated for a moment before saying, "You can see it a few hundred meters south after walking out of the gate of this house." ”

"Okay." Bei Juese stood up, "Senior brother, let's go and take a look now." ”

As soon as the feet of Bei Jue Se and Dong Invincible stepped out of the door, Meng Qing's voice sounded on the side: "His Royal Highness the Prince, please come over here for breakfast." ”

Turning his head to look, he saw Meng Qing standing not far away with a simple cane, with a bright and sweet smile on her face.

Bei Juese hurriedly stepped forward, glanced at her legs that were wrapped in cloth and fixed with a wooden frame, and asked with concern: "Xiaoqing, how are your legs?" ”

Meng Qing said: "The medical officer has treated me, and the broken bones have also been connected. As long as I don't move this leg, I will soon be able to recover and be able to run and jump as before. ”

"That's fine." Hearing her say this, Bei Juese's heart was a little more comfortable.

Meng Qing smiled and pulled his sleeve and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, come over and have breakfast, the food is about to cool." ”

Bei Juese hurriedly said, "I'll just go by myself." "I'm afraid that Meng Qing will not be able to stand on her feet, and it will be troublesome if she breaks her leg again.

When I walked into the dining room, I saw that two bowls of pork knuckle soup rice noodles had been placed on the dining table. Bei Juese and Dong Wushu walked over and sat down, each bringing a bowl and preparing to eat, but heard Meng Qing say anxiously: "Wait! ”

Dong Wushu and Bei Juese stopped for a while, Meng Qing sat down beside them, took the bowl in their hands, swapped the two bowls of rice noodles, and said to Bei Juese with a smile: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, this bowl is yours." ”

Looking closely into the bowl, I found that there was a clear difference in the number of pork knuckles in the two bowls. The bowl that Meng Qing gave was covered with pig's hands; In the other bowl, there are only one or two pieces of pork bones.

Meng Qing's performance today seems to be a little strange, but Bei Juese can't say that there is anything wrong. Although he had doubts in his heart, he didn't think much about it when he rushed out, just took the bowl and quickly swept the rice noodles into his stomach.

When eating, I felt that Meng Qing's gaze had been sweeping over my body, and I felt so uncomfortable.

Seeing that he was about to finish eating, Meng Qing said again: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I'll go and get you some hot tea back." ”

Bei Juese stopped her and said, "No need, I'll just go get it myself." ”

Meng Qing stood up and said stubbornly, "I'll be back soon." With that, he walked out on crutches.

Looking at her distant figure, Bei Juese asked, "Senior brother, do you think Xiaoqing is very strange today?" ”

Dong Wushu took a sip of soup and said coldly: "I'm going to ask you." ”

"Ask me? Why do you ask me? "The north is even more puzzling.

Dong Wushu said a little unhappily: "After falling off the cliff yesterday, what did you do to other people's little girls?" ”

Bei Juese said: "I haven't done anything, I'm just carrying her to find the way." ”

Dong Wushu glanced at him coldly, lowered his head and continued to gnaw on the pork bones in the bowl.

Bei Juese was a little anxious: "Senior brother, you can make it clear what Xiaoqing's strangeness has to do with me!" ”

Dong Wushu didn't even look at him, and concentrated on solving the remaining rice noodles.

Seeing him ignore him like this, Bei Juese had to hold the bowl depressedly and drink the rice noodles and soup in the bowl. Before he could swallow the soup, Dong Wushu put down the bowl and said in a cold tone: "Based on various circumstances, the little girl has taken a fancy to you." ”

As soon as these words came out, Bei Juese squirted out all the soup and rice noodles, and Dong Wudi, who was sitting opposite him, was sprayed with soup by him, and his face was covered with white rice noodles.
