Chapter 37: An agreement is reached
When Wei Chi Jincheng heard this, he raised his eyes and looked at Ji Ruoshui with interest: "Cooperation? How does the Lord of the Water Pavilion want to cooperate with this king? ”
Ji Ruoshui said: "As we all know, my Ruoshui Pavilion is a teahouse on the surface, but secretly I am doing the business of taking people's money and eliminating disasters. Someone paid a lot of money to buy the life of the prince before, and if I received the money from the Water Pavilion, it would naturally be difficult not to do anything. But this time, Ruoshui came in person, to cooperate with the prince, form an alliance, and hand over the person who wanted to take the prince's life to the prince. ”
Hearing this, Yu Chi Jincheng smiled faintly and said, "If the water pavilion master's words can't help but make this king doubt your credibility." If you Ruoshui Pavilion is also a well-known killer organization in the rivers and lakes, how can you do something to betray your employer? If this king has promised you today, will you betray him to others on another day? ”
Ji Ruoshui smiled faintly and said, "What the prince said is extremely true. If I can stand on the rivers and lakes for many years, I will naturally rely on the credibility of the rivers and lakes. It's just that this credibility and life must be that Ruoshui would rather choose his life. After all, so many brothers are following Ruoshui, if they don't even have their lives, then what's the use of credibility? ”
When Wei Chi Jincheng heard this, he laughed: "If the Lord of Ruoshui Pavilion is well aware of the righteousness, it's just that what you said is somewhat true and how much false, but this king doesn't know." If the Lord of the Water Pavilion really wants to show an attitude of cooperation, will he also show some due sincerity? ”
Ji Ruoshui nodded and said, "What the prince said is true." There is one thing that the prince may not know yet, but this secret guard of yours is very loyal. As she spoke, she pointed at Li Erdao with her finger, "Such a strong and loyal secret guard in martial arts really makes Ruoshui extremely envious." If he hadn't defeated Ruoshui, Ruoshui would not have risked being scolded by the people in the rivers and lakes to talk about cooperation with the prince. ”
Yu Chi Jincheng squinted his eyes slightly, looked at Li Er, and then looked at Ji Ruoshui, and said lightly: "Li Er has always been the most trusted person of this king, and the pavilion master should tell me what you should show your loyalty to this king." ”
Ji Ruoshui looked at Wei Chi Jincheng lightly, and said word by word: "How about getting rid of the person who wants to kill the most for the prince first?" ”
Yu Chi Jincheng hooked his lips and smiled: "The people this king wants to get rid of, he will naturally get rid of them." This king only wants the Lord of the Water Pavilion to hand over the people behind the scenes who hired you to assassinate this king. ”
Ji Ruoshui nodded when he heard this: "Okay, then, Ruoshui will agree with the prince to hand over that person to the prince as soon as possible." ”
Wei Chi Jincheng said: "Okay! The day when the Lord of Ruoshui Pavilion hands over the people behind the curtain will be the day when my Seventeen Royal Mansion and Ruoshui Pavilion will officially form an alliance! ”
Ji Ruoshui nodded lightly, and then pointed to Yao Qiqi and Shui Han and said, "So, can Ruoshui's two subordinates take it away?" ”
Yu Chi Jincheng stretched out his arm, raised his eyebrows and said, "You can do it at any time." ”
Ji Ruoshui blessed him, glanced at Lin Ajiu deeply, and left the dungeon with Yao Qiqi and Shui Han.
After they left, Lin Ajiu turned to look at Yu Chi Jincheng: "Lord Wang......"
Yu Chi Jincheng looked at her and said lightly: "Let's do it for yourself." ”
Sent Lin Ajiu away, Yu Chi Jincheng sat in the study, and there were four dark guards standing opposite.
"Li Er, what did you say to Ji Ruoshui to make her agree to cooperate so smoothly?" Yu Chi Jincheng took a sip of tea and raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Back to the prince, the subordinates just gave proper guidance to the lord of Ruoshui Pavilion, making her feel that 'good birds choose trees to perch', and it is the right way to follow the prince, so she came to join the prince." Li Er lowered his head and replied respectfully.
Hearing this, Yu Chi Jincheng sneered: "When did you learn to pat on the back?" ”
Li Erzheng said: "The subordinates don't dare, the subordinates just tell the truth." ”
"Hahahaha!" Wei Chi Jincheng looked up to the sky and laughed, and then asked, "Where did you meet the Ruoshui Pavilion Master?" ”
Li Er replied: "In the room of Concubine Wenfang." ”
Seeing that Yu Chi Jincheng was obviously stunned for a moment, Li Er said: "Do you still remember that when Concubine Wen first arrived, he and Concubine Lin both fell into the water?" ”
Yu Chi Jincheng thought for a while, nodded and said, "This king has an impression. At that time, you also repeatedly promised the king: Concubine Wen will never know martial arts. Why, if the Water Pavilion Lord has doubts about this matter? ”
Li Er nodded and said, "Lord Wang, it's true." If the Lord of the Water Pavilion came this time, it seemed that he wanted to bring back her subordinates, but he actually wanted to explore the secret of Concubine Wen's body. ”
When Yu Chi Jincheng heard this, his brows frowned, and he leaned forward: "What, is there really any secret on Concubine Wen's body?" ”
Li Er looked left and right, and Yu Chi Jincheng asked Jiang Tao and He Zi to retreat, and then said, "You can say it now." ”
Li Er slowed down and said lightly: "Do you still remember that when Wen Wuji died, the prince rummaged through his body and the Inner Guard Mansion, and never found that thing?" ”
Hearing this, Yu Chi Jincheng raised his eyebrows, his eyes shot a shinnage, and he leaned closer and asked, "What do you mean-that thing is likely to be on Concubine Wen's body?" ”
Li Er nodded and said, "Lord Wang, please think about it carefully: Wen Wuji had a close personal relationship with the prince before his death, and he was also secretly ordered by the prince to go to search. The subordinates were ordered to follow Lord Wen, and later inquired in many ways and learned that he had indeed obtained the thing, but he did not give it to the prince. So the prince can think about it, where can he put such a thing related to the community, and who can he trust it to? ”
Yu Chi Jincheng's phoenix eyes widened and said, "You mean, he handed it over to his daughter?!" ”
Li Er nodded and said, "The subordinates guess that eighty percent of them are like this." Lord Wang, you think, since your subordinates can be ordered to follow Lord Wen, then the other princes can naturally too. In order to hide people's eyes, Lord Wen naturally wouldn't put that thing on himself, so his subordinates thought that he must have found that thing first, then hid it, and then let it be made public at the most appropriate time. ”
Yu Chi Jincheng said: "Therefore, before his death, on the grounds of showing loyalty, he made a marriage with this king, and asked his daughter Wendi to marry this king after her sixteenth birthday, in order to put this thing in the hands of this king?" ”
Li Er nodded and said, "That's right." However, his subordinates guessed that before his death, Master Wen must have instructed the side concubine Niangniang not to hand over things easily unless the prince is sincere to Niangniang. So since Concubine Wen got married, she has been trying to get close to the prince, wanting to see if the prince is sincere to her. ”
When Yu Chi Jincheng heard this, he immediately understood, he looked at Li Er, and said slowly: "Li Er, you have thought of this layer a long time ago, so when the king decided to fulfill his promise and marry Concubine Wen, he took the initiative to go to Zhang Luo, arrange the courtyard for her, personally arrange a credible girl, and offered to protect her...... Your purpose is also to know how much Concubine Wen knows about this matter, isn't it? ”
Li Er looked at Wei Chi Jincheng for a while, nodded and said, "Yes." The reason why the subordinates didn't tell the prince at the first time was to confirm whether the matter was as the subordinates speculated. ”
"So, how do you confirm that?" Wei Chi Jincheng looked at him, as if trying to find some loopholes in his words.
Li Erdao: "The subordinates were ordered by the prince to stay with Concubine Wen for almost a moment, and the subordinates found that in addition to not knowing martial arts, she knew a lot about other techniques. Concubine Wen's jade flute has always been by her side, not leaving an inch, and it is said that Lord Wen specially customized it for her. So the subordinates guessed that the location of that thing should be related to the jade flute! ”
Hearing this, Yu Chi Jincheng pursed his thin lips, kept turning his jade wrench fingers with his hand, and asked after pondering: "Li Er, what do you say this king should do?" ”
Li Er said in a deep voice: "If the prince really trusts Lord Wen, then he should treat her daughter sincerely, I believe that in time, the side concubine Niangniang will definitely feel the prince's sincerity and hand over that thing to the prince." ”
Yu Chi Jincheng asked again: "Even if this is the case, how can you conclude that the location of that thing is in that jade flute?" ”
Li Erdao: "Has the prince forgotten the calligraphy and painting that Lord Wen gave to the prince when he met the prince for the last time?" ”
Yu Chi Jincheng was shocked suddenly, and hurriedly asked: "That calligraphy and painting, but the one that you put in Concubine Wen's room and decorated it?" ”
Li Er nodded and said, "Exactly." In order to test Concubine Wen's reaction to this, the subordinates put it in the room, and the "Linjiang Immortal" mentioned above was made by Lord Wen. When Concubine Wen saw it at the time, she immediately held her breath and was stunned, and she didn't even react to Baoyue's girl talking to her, which shows that she should know the poem. So the subordinates dared to guess that the secret was in that poem, and the key thing was the side concubine Niangniang and the jade flute in her hand! ”
Hearing this, Yu Chi Jincheng took a deep breath and said to Li Er: "Li Er, this king really blamed you before, and I can't accompany you here." ”
Li Er was slightly stunned, immediately knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said, "Lord Wang!" Don't bother your subordinates! The subordinates naturally did their best to assist the prince, and please don't blame the subordinates for their previous rash behavior! ”
Yu Chi Jincheng got up, put his arms around him, helped him up, and said deeply: "Li Er, you know, this king has not trusted any woman since he was a child, and there is only your class of 'brothers' by his side. For the sake of the king's cause, it's time for you to appear in another capacity! ”
When Wendi woke up from his sleep, it was already evening. She moved, touching her chest with her hands, and it was strange that there was no pain.
"Baoyue!" Wen Di opened his mouth to call, but he was so frightened that he shut up.
How could her voice be so neutral? Didn't she get hit by a sword, shouldn't she have lost her blood to death?
"!" When Baoyue heard the sound, she immediately came in from the outside, and when she saw the appearance of Wen Di, she couldn't help but be stunned.
Wen Di wondered, "Baoyue, what's wrong with you?" ”
Baoyue blinked, took two steps forward, and asked, "Niangniang, how do you feel?" ”
Wen Di said: "There is nothing wrong with it. ”
Baoyue listened, and her face was happy: "Oh, in this way, the medicine of that moon-stepping boy is really effective!" It's only been two days, and Niangniang's complexion has returned to normal, and Baoyue thought that Niangniang would lie down for at least ten days and a half months! ”
Wen Di also looked strange, and hurriedly said: "Baoyue, you help me up and look at my wounds." ”
Baoyue nodded, helped her up, took off the gauze and looked at the wound, and the two exclaimed at the same time: "The wound is healed?!" ”
