Zhang Shumo smiled awkwardly: "That, you haven't had lunch yet, have you?" Why don't we eat and talk? ”

Gongsun Rong smiled: "Didn't Gongzi expect that someone would come to find him, so he prepared the meal in advance, right?" ”

"I guessed someone was going to look for it, but I didn't expect it to be the two of you." Zhang Shumo said as he asked people to prepare two more dishes and chopsticks.

After explaining, the three of them went down around the table, and then Zhang Shumo asked, "It's time to tell me the purpose of your coming here this time, right?" ”

Gongsun Rong glanced at Zhang Shumo: "What you said, if there is no purpose, Ning'er can't come to you?" ”

"Of course, you are always welcome to come and play with me!" Zhang Shumo hurriedly replied.

Gongsun Rong pursed his lips: "You are really not very good at talking, why let us come to you, you can't take the initiative to find Ning'er?" ”

Gao Ning'er smiled: "When did Rong'er become so sharp-toothed?" Okay, let's get down to business, I've heard you've deduced who was behind your assassination? ”

Zhang Shumo nodded: "What?" Do you want to know? ”

Gao Ning'er raised her head: "Of course I want to know, after all, I was hit by a sword!" ”

When Zhang Shumo heard this, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and then said lightly: "Actually, it's best if you don't get involved in this matter." ”

"Why? Is it the mastermind behind us that has something to do with us? Gao Ning'er asked.

Zhang Shumo didn't answer, and Gongsun Rong said on the side: "Don't worry, Zhang Gongzi, no matter what the final outcome of this matter is, Ning'er and I will be on your side, just say it." ”

Hearing Gongsun Rong's words, Zhang Shumo sighed, and then spoke slowly.

"I suspect that the mastermind behind the scenes is His Royal Highness!"

"Huh?" Both girls were taken aback.

"Why is it the Second Highness, I think the Great Highness is more likely." Gao Ning'er said.

Zhang Shumo looked at the two and said his own inference.

"The person who assassinated me is called Xu Xuan, and he is a descendant of Zheng Guo's Thunder Sword Xu Ke. You must know that Xu Ke's status in Zheng Guo is not bad, how can his children and grandchildren be reduced to a foreign land as guards? ”

When Gongsun Rong heard this, he immediately understood: "So Xu Xuan must have been arranged by Zheng Guo to assassinate you?" ”

Zhang Shumo nodded: "That's right, this proves that someone in Yan Guo must have colluded with Zheng Guo." The person who colluded with Zheng Guo was the mastermind behind this time. ”

"Then why can't it be Gongsun Yang?" Gao Ning'er asked.

"Because Zheng Guo will never collude with a powerless person, Gongsun Yang is just a chess piece exposed to the outside. Do you remember the sneak attack we received when we first entered the Yan Kingdom? If no one in Yan Guo colluded with Zheng Guo, then how could Zheng Guoren grasp our whereabouts? ”

Gao Ning'er nodded: "But this doesn't prove that it's the Second Highness?" ”

"I only found out yesterday. Yesterday's interrogation of Xu Xuan, His Royal Highness suddenly arrived, you must know that this matter is carried out in secret, it stands to reason that His Highness should not know, but he just went, which means that someone revealed the news to him! So I asked him on the yamen, but he didn't dare to say who that person was, although in the end Fan Xiang relieved him of the siege, but everyone present should be able to guess that it must be someone from the Qi Wangfu who revealed the news to him! ”

"Then doesn't this mean that it is His Highness who is colluding with the Qi Palace? What is the matter with His Royal Highness Guan Er? Gongsun Rong asked.

Zhang Shumo smiled: "In a situation like yesterday, Xu Xuan is a person from the Qi Palace, then the Qi Palace's main suspicion, if His Royal Highness is really their ally, then the Qi Palace's Mansion should not go to His Royal Highness." But the Qi Wangfu just went, so there are only two possibilities, one is that the Qi Wangfu wants to frame His Highness, and the other is that His Highness is the mastermind behind the scenes, and the Qi Wangfu has important matters that have to be discussed with His Highness. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Shumo paused and continued: "So yesterday I deliberately tested Sun Kang, the prince of Qi, on the yamen, and asked him why he wanted to frame His Royal Highness, and that Gongsun Kang didn't dare to say any more as a thief. At the same time, the Second Highness, who was originally holding His Royal Highness, also sent a mouth, saying that it would be retried tomorrow, and it was obvious that the Second Highness was also weak-hearted. That's why I judged that His Royal Highness was the mastermind behind the scenes! ”

On the other side, Lin Xiruo was depressed that her plan was interrupted by Gao Ning'er. At this time, I happened to meet a subordinate holding a bowl and chopsticks and walking towards Zhang Shumo's room.

So Lin Xiruo hurriedly stopped them: "What are you doing here?" ”

"Zhang Gongzi and Miss Gao, they are going to eat in the room, let the little ones add some dishes and chopsticks."

When Lin Xiruo heard this, he was shocked, the wine he had drugged had not been withdrawn, and if they let them drink it, there would definitely be a mess. Thinking of this, Lin Xiruo hurriedly said: "Give me the dishes and chopsticks, and I'll send them to them!" ”

After taking the dishes and chopsticks, Lin Xiruo strode towards Zhang Shumo's room, and hurriedly pushed the door in without caring about the notification.

At this time, Zhang Shumo and the three of them were talking about the assassination, and seeing Lin Xiruo coming in in a panic, Zhang Shumo couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with Miss Lin?" Why didn't you come in without a notice? ”

Lin Xiruo looked at the wine glasses on the table, and saw that they were not drinking, and the stone in her heart was put down: "I'm here to deliver dishes and chopsticks to the two young ladies." So Lin Xiruo hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks: "Childe, two young ladies, please use them slowly!" ”

After speaking, Lin Xi picked up the wine jug and was about to leave.

At this time, Gongsun Rong stopped her: "You don't have to remove the wine, right?" It's hard for me to get out of the palace once, so I'll have a few drinks with Zhang Gongzi. ”

Zhang Shumo smiled: "Okay, Miss Lin, just leave the wine." ”

Lin Xiruo's body trembled, and he stayed in place for a long time before he thought of a reason: "I, I'll take the wine out and warm it." ”

Gao Ning'er also laughed when she heard it: "Now I think it's summer, what kind of wine is warm, so be it." ”

Zhang Shumo got up and took the wine jug from Lin Xiruo's hand: "Okay, there's nothing to do with you, you go out first." ”

Lin Xiruo was apprehensive for a while, but there was no reason to take the wine jug away, so he could only leave helplessly. But she didn't dare to go far, she stayed at the door as soon as she went out, and once something happened inside, she rushed in as soon as possible.

Waiting for Lin Xiruo to leave, Zhang Shumo poured a glass of wine for the two girls: "How can the two of you be so Yaxing today, you want to have a few drinks with you?" ”

Gao Ning'er looked at Gongsun Rong, so Gongsun Rong took the lead and said, "Actually, the real purpose of our coming to you today is not to ask who is behind the scenes. Because we know that no matter who instigated the assassination, his purpose was only to prevent Huai Guo from negotiating peace with Yan Guo, and it had nothing to do with Zhang Gongzi. ”。

Gao Ning'er also nodded: "That's right, so we think that no matter who is behind the scenes, you must not care too much, it will also be beneficial for you to stay in Yan Country for a long time in the future." ”

Of course, Zhang Shumo understood what the two meant, so he picked up his glass: "Thank you for your kindness, then this first glass of wine wishes Yanguo and Huaiguo a smooth peace!" ”
