Chapter 168: There Are Mountains Beyond the Mountains (1)
Xiao Yuhuan sat on the main hall and sipped tea and waited for Shen Fan's arrival. A moment later, a minion ran in and whispered something to Xiao Yuhuan, Xiao Yuhuan waved his hand, the minion retreated, and it didn't take long for Shen Fan to walk in.
"Old slave, I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince." Shen Fan saluted with Xiao Yuhuan.
Xiao Yuhuan took the teacup in his hand and observed it carefully, and he didn't look at Shen Fan, but replied with a smile: "Lord Shen, please get up, come and sit." ”
Shen Fan got up, didn't say anything, walked to a position and sat down.
"Lord Shen, do you know what is the matter with this king coming to you today?"
"The old slave doesn't know, and I ask Your Highness to make it clear."
Xiao Yuhuan put down the teacup in his hand, looked up at Shen Fan and said, "Lord Shen, it seems that this king has entrusted you with one thing to do. After so long, I don't know if this thing will be done or not? ”
"Oh, that's what His Highness said about it." Shen Fan seemed to feel relieved, "Your Highness, the person the old slave is looking for has already gone, but there is no news yet." Your Highness, don't be impatient. ”
"Lord Shen, it's not that this king doesn't trust you, it's just that this king wants to ask your lord, who are you looking for?"
"It's some people who have nowhere to go with murder cases on their backs, and they seem to be pretty good. However, even if something happens and is discovered, you will not be able to find out where Your Highness is here. ”
In this way, there are many murderers who are guilty of murder. What kind of handle did Lord Shen hold on to them, so they would be willing to obey Lord Shen's orders? ”
Shen Fan smiled faintly and said, "It seems to be there, but it doesn't seem to be." ”
"Lord Shen is really brave and strategic, this kind of outlaw, this king will never dare to use it. It's just that it's been so long now, and those outlaws won't let go of Yibo and run for their lives, right? ”
"This..."Shen Fan seemed speechless.
"Anyway, they may have really seen Xuan Zhuyi and a few people, but they knew that their strength was invincible, so they fled for their lives in a hurry. This king thinks that this possibility is still possible. However, did Lord Shen underestimate Xuan Zhuyi's group of people too much? Anyway, they are also disciples from Lingxian Pavilion, and a few gangsters want their lives? Does Lord Shen look up to this villain too much, or does he want to do something perfunctory to this king? Xiao Yuhuan saw that Shen Fan was speechless, and said in a slightly mocking tone, "Lord Shen, what's wrong today?" Why can't you say a word? It was the first time that this king had seen Lord Shen's embarrassed expression. ”
Shen Fan smiled awkwardly: "Your Highness said it was funny." This... This matter is indeed the old slave's inconsiderate thinking, and the old slave did not have the heart to perfunctory His Highness's affairs, and hoped that His Highness would forgive his sins. He got up from his position and knelt down in the tunnel, "The old slave is willing to find someone to kill Xuan Zhuyi and the others again, and make up for His Highness's merits to show his loyalty." ”
"Lord Shen~ Look at it, no wonder my father always said that you like to kneel down first and ask for guilt when you encounter anything, and now it seems that this is really the case. This king doesn't blame you, and he doesn't want to cure your sins, so why should you? Hurry up. ”
"Yes." Shen Fan stood up and sat back down.
Xiao Yuhuan glanced at Shen Fan and said with a smile: "Lord Shen's loyalty to this king, this king naturally knows, this is a joke that this king made with you, Lord God, don't take it seriously?" ”
"Don't dare, the old slave thanked His Highness."
Xiao Yuhuan closed his eyes and said, "Lord Shen, if you find someone to do this kind of thing in the future, you still have to be safeguarded, otherwise this king will be easy to be unsure." However, Lord Shen is really capable, even this king is a little curious, how many layers of relationship does Lord Shen have? ”
"The old slave is stupid, I don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince means by this, and I ask His Highness to make it clear."
"Father's heart disease, does Lord Shen know what it is?"
"The old slave doesn't dare to speculate on the holy will, because he doesn't know what His Majesty is thinking in his heart."
"My father's biggest heart problem is the Jade Dragon Terrace. After years of investigation, there has been no result. Xiao Yuhuan opened his eyes and looked at it and said, "That's why I said that Lord Shen has the ability, and even the Jade Dragon Terrace can find it." ”
"What do you mean, Your Highness?"
"Lord Shen?" Xiao Yuhuan looked at Shen Fan and said, "Isn't the person who killed Xuan Zhuyi the person from Yulongtai?" ”
Shen Fan seemed to be a little flustered, he knelt on the ground again and said, "Your Highness, why did you put this charge on the old slave?" If the old slave does something that is not satisfactory to His Highness, His Highness will change to a more satisfactory minion. The old slave can't afford such a big crime! ”
"Lord Shen doesn't have to hide here with me. Lord Shen doesn't believe in this king? Do you think this king will be the kind of person who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge? ”
"The old slave had no such intention."
"I'll tell you the truth." Xiao Yuhuan didn't seem to be going to make fun of Shen Fan, "A few days ago, the people from Yulongtai entered the palace and found this king, and told him about Xuan Zhuyi. So Lord Shen, this king is just teasing you, why should you be serious? Look at you, sit down. There are many places where this king needs to rely on you in the future, so why should you worry that in this situation, this king will cross the river and tear down the bridge? It is not a matter of course, and if you want to say it, it will be a matter of the future, at least until this king ascends to the throne and becomes the king of this country. Lord Shen, what do you think? ”
"The old slave believes in His Highness, and he is willing to smear His Highness's liver and brain." With that, he stood up and sat down.
Xiao Yuhuan smiled with satisfaction and said, "That's right!" Lord Shen drank tea, suppressed the shock first, and then we talked about the business. ”
Shen Fan picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly, on the surface he was silent, but in his heart he was extremely disgusted with Xiao Yuhuan's style.
"Lord Shen? Let's talk about it? How did you find Jade Dragon Terrace? ”
Although Shen Fan was disgusted, he still greeted him with a smile: "Actually, Your Highness, it was not the old slave who found the Jade Dragon Terrace, but the Jade Dragon Terrace who found the old slave. The old slave didn't know how they learned about Xuan Zhuyi and the others, but they suddenly appeared, and the old slave had no choice but to push the boat down the river and hand over this business to them. However, it was the old slave they found at the beginning, and now. How could he suddenly go to His Highness? ”
"What else could it be for? Money, of course! ”
Shen Fan smiled faintly: "Saying this, it naturally makes sense." ”
"But..."Xiao Yuhuan's thoughts seemed to drift into the distance, "This king really underestimated Xuan Zhuyi's group of people at the beginning, but he didn't expect that the people of Yulongtai couldn't kill him. ”
"That's... They came to you just to talk about it? ”
"Of course not. The people who came said to the king, the lord of the Jade Dragon Terrace asked the king, whether Xuan Zhuyi still kills him? Lord Shen? Why did he ask, you say? ”
"Maybe I'm scared."
"Scared?" Xiao Yuhuan laughed, "They killed so many people in Yulongtai, and now they are afraid?" He stood up and walked to Shen Fan's side and said, "However, Xuan Zhuyi and the others must have gone somewhere else now." You say, can the people of Yulongtai still find them? ”
"Your Highness." Shen Fan's face did not change and said, "Your Highness believes that they can find it after all, otherwise you will not be willing to continue to believe in them and let them kill Xuan Zhuyi." ”
"Oh? Why did Lord Shen decide that I was letting them continue to kill Xuan Zhuyi? Xiao Yuhuan was quite interested in Shen Fan's words.
"Your Highness said at the beginning that the people of Jade Dragon Terrace found you for money, so you must have given a bounty for them to kill."
"Hmm." Xiao Yuhuan sat next to Shen Fan, "It's just that I want to ask Lord Shen to get an idea for me now." ”
"Your Highness, please speak."
"Xuan Zhuyi and his party, what does Lord Shen know?"
"I don't know much, I just know that these people are all from Lingxian Pavilion, Xuan Zhuyi is called a senior brother by the rest of the people, there is a woman wearing a veil who often follows him, and two girls seem to be sisters, and there is also a man and a woman, presumably His Highness should know."
"Hmm~" Xiao Yuhuan nodded slightly, "Yu Cihe, after fighting, it is indeed a difficult bone to gnaw, and that son also seems to care about Yu Cihe." ”
"But..."Shen Fan turned to Xiao Yuhuan and asked, "Your Highness, do you know who that Yu Cihe is?" The old slave thought that only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent could one not be defeated in a hundred battles. ”
"Yu Tzu-hyuk?" Xiao Yuhuan thought for a while, "The last time I saw him, I only said that I had a close relationship with Su An, I just thought that it might be someone Su An met by chance before." ”
"Old slave remembers, Your Highness, you said that this Yu Cihe has the demeanor of Princess Su'an."
"Yes!" Xiao Yuhuan became angry when he heard Shen Fan's words, "That little slut of Yu Cihe, who has threatened this king before, is exactly the same as that slut of Su'an!" A person like Yu Cihe will definitely not go along with me, she has a close relationship with Su'an, and she must be someone from the side of King Nanyang. Thinking about it like this, Xuan Zhuyi and his party must be killed! ”
"Yes, killing must be killed." Shen Fan said with a smile, "It's just that the old slave has heard a little rumor about Yu Cihe, I wonder if His Highness is interested in hearing about it?" ”
"Huh? Lord Shen shouldn't sell it. ”
"Yes. The old slave heard that Yu Cihe had a great relationship with Princess Su'an, and it was definitely not a relationship that was met by chance. ”
"Oh? What's that relationship? ”
Shen Fan lowered his voice and said, "The old slave heard that this Yu Cihe is actually a maidservant girl next to Princess Su'an. ”
"Handmaiden?" Xiao Yuhuan was shocked, "I've been looking at Jinci Palace all these years, when did Su An send her maidservants out of the palace?" ”
"This, the old slave doesn't know. It's just that the old slave heard that this Yu Cihe is not an ordinary maidservant girl next to Princess Su'an, she is actually Xiao Nai. ”
"Xiao Nai?!" When Xiao Yuhuan said this name, he felt that the whole person was in a trance, "How is it possible?" Xiao Nai has been in Jinci Palace all these years, and she has always been by Su'an's side! How could she be Yu Jihyuk? ”
"Your Highness, the old slave wasn't very sure at first. It's just that everyone in Jinci Palace is wearing veils, and we don't know what their faces look like after the veil. Therefore, whether Xiao Nai next to Princess Su'an is the real Xiao Nai now, none of us knows. This matter is very important, so it is impossible for too many people to know, and it is only possible that Princess Su'an herself knows. ”
"This king will send someone to bring Xiao Nai over now! This king will take off her veil himself and see if she is Xiao Nai! With that, Xiao Yuhuan stood up and was about to summon someone to go to Jinci Palace to invite Xiao Nai. Shen Fan hurriedly stood up and grabbed Xiao Yuhuan, Xiao Yuhuan looked back at Shen Fan, Shen Fan realized that he was rude, hurriedly took his hand down, stepped back a few steps and saluted: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the old slave has just been rude, and I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will forgive his sins." It's just that if His Royal Highness summons Xiao Nai over at this time, it will be a startling snake. In this way, Princess Su'an will definitely be suspicious, and Yu Cihe and the others will be more cautious outside, and it will be difficult for His Highness to kill her at that time. ”
Xiao Yuhuan calmed down: "Yes, what Lord Shen said is reasonable, but this king is too anxious." That... What is Lord Shen's plan? ”
"The old slave has a law, I don't know if it's feasible or not."
"Lord Shen, please take a seat!" Xiao Yuhuan asked Shen Fan to sit down and sat next to him, "Lord Shen, please speak." ”
"Your Highness, if you want to know whether Xiao Nai in Jinci Palace is the real Xiao Nai, what you just said is indeed what we have to do. It's just that we can't call her over yet. Wait for another three days, and after three days, I will ask His Highness to summon Xiao Nai. ”
"Why after three days?"
"Your Highness, in the past three days, please send someone to watch the movements of Jinci Palace day and night, and pay special attention to Xiao Nai's every move. Your Highness should be able to easily find someone who is similar in shape and voice to Xiao Nai, right? ”
"What does Lord Shen mean... In the past three days, send someone to keep an eye on Xiao Nai, learn her every move, and replace the king's people after three days, follow Su An's side, and monitor her every move? ”
"Your Highness is exactly what he said."
"But..."Xiao Yuhuan had scruples, "Won't Su An find out?" ”
"This requires His Highness to find someone who can pretend to be real. The old slave thought that Princess Su'an might not be very familiar with the people around her now, but the old slave couldn't be sure. Your Highness, you can send a dead soldier, the success or failure of this matter is determined by heaven, even if you lose, it will not affect your Highness's later affairs. At least, we know the true identity of Yu Tzu-hyuk. I don't know, Your Highness, what do you think? ”
"Okay, let's do it according to Lord Shen's wishes. The king now seems to have thought of a good candidate. ”
