Fang Xingzhai saw that the few jars of wine that Qi Feng took were not poisonous, and sneered: "Your Highness, even if it is not poisonous, it can't prove that this matter has nothing to do with them. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info their own wine is not poisonous, and it cannot be explained that the two jars of wine given to His Highness are not poisoned by them. The little prince was poisoned, and he must not let them go until the real murderer is found. ”

Qi Feng couldn't help but argue: "Our lord said that if we give you poisonous wine at this time, how inferior the means are, don't we want to live ourselves?" Who knows if there are people under His Highness who have malicious intentions and want to take this opportunity to poison His Highness.......! ”

"Shut up!" Qi Ning shouted in a deep voice and bowed his hand to the crown prince: "Your Highness, this matter is very important. To put it mildly, if the real culprit cannot be found, this incident is likely to lead to a confrontation between your two countries, and the good relations that you and I have maintained over the years will also be ruined. ”

Fang Xingzhai said coldly: "Are you threatening us? ”

Qi Ning sneered: "Lord Fang, you are aggressive, do you have to identify this matter on us?" What I said to His Highness is just a frank and honest statement, but it is not a threat, it doesn't matter if you don't understand it, Your Highness is aware of everything and naturally understands. ”

The prince's expression was solemn, he pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Jinyihou, this matter must be investigated by the palace." You ordered your men to stay at the boar slope and not to leave, and you were wronged to wait in the tent of the palace. Xiang Situ Mingyue instructed: "Situ, pass the order, pack up the preparations, set off early tomorrow morning, and return to the capital." ”

The king of Linzi was killed, and such a major event happened, so it was naturally impossible for this hunt to continue, Situ Mingyue agreed, stepped forward, and said, "Master Hou, please!" ”

Qi Ning frowned slightly, knowing that the other party was trying to hold him hostage, surrounded by Eastern Qi officers and soldiers, if he moved, Qi Ning's martial arts skills might not be able to kill, but these people under his command would definitely not be spared, even the more than 200 people stationed in the wild boar slope, I am afraid that it will also be a big disaster.

Wu Dalin frowned, and was about to argue, Qi Ning raised his hand and said: "Team Leader Wu, you lead people back to the wild boar slope first, without my orders, don't act rashly." His Royal Highness is wise, and naturally he will not wronged good people. ”

"Master Hou.......!"

"Needless to say." Qi Ning said in a deep voice, and left with Situ Mingyue, several prince guards around him stared, Wu Dalin and Qi Feng glanced at each other, knowing that at this time, they must not be impulsive, and now under the supervision of the Eastern Qi soldiers, they returned to the wild boar forest.

None of the people expected such a result, let alone dare to say more, the prince personally returned to the cowhide tent with the body of King Linzi in his arms, looking sad.

The officials and generals of the Eastern Qi Dynasty know in their hearts that the king of Linzi has followed the prince since he was a child, although he is not born by the queen, the two are half-brothers, but the relationship is very good, although the king of Mount Tai is the eldest son, but the temperament is violent, and the relationship with his biological brother the prince is quite bad, and the prince and the king of Linzi seem to be from the same mother.

The horseback archery of the king of Linzi is also learned by the prince, the monarch of the Eastern Qi Dynasty has five children, the king of Linzi is one year younger than the princess Tianxiang, among the princes and princesses, the youngest, so the palace is also a lot of favor for him, after the prince was established as the prince, there is a prince's mansion, the king of Linzi is mixed in the prince's mansion every day, in the eyes of many people, although the prince and the king of Linzi are brothers, but sometimes they are like a pair of father and son, the prince takes care of the king of Linzi.

This trip out of Beijing to hunt, the king of Linzi pestered to come out with the prince, but ended up with such a result, everyone knew that the prince must be heartbroken.

Qi Ning was arranged in a separate small tent, and only then could he really calm down and consider the suspicions.

Judging from the situation at the scene, the prince's reward for the imperial wine was a temporary intention, originally the imperial wine was only a reward for Shitang, and the king of Linzi was not in the plan, and it was completely the king of Linzi himself who stepped forward at that time, so the purpose of the person who poisoned him naturally would not be the king of Linzi.

Qi Ning really had doubts at the beginning, although the ten jars of fine wine pulled out from the court of Chu State, although they came from the palace, they were prepared by the household department, and this wine was poisonous, could it be that Dou Kui took the opportunity to kill himself? If Dou Kui poisoned the wine and dedicated it to the monarch of the Eastern Qi Kingdom, once someone was poisoned, the people of the Eastern Qi Dynasty would naturally not go to Dou Kui for trouble, but only for the trouble of his own mission.

The purpose of the murderer's poisoning may be to poison the prince, but it is not excluded that the other party originally wanted to poison Shitang, and the purpose of poisoning Shitang may not be to have any grudges with Shitang, but perhaps to frame the Chu State Mission.

However, Qi Ning thought to himself that before this, he had never dealt with these people, and even the Eastern Qi and Southern Chu did not have much enmity, why did the other party frame the mission? If it is for himself, then he wants to deal with the Jinyi Qi family, if it is said that the Northern Han people hate the Jinyi Qi family to the bone marrow, but why does Nanchu have this hatred for the Jinyi Qi family?

The two generations of the Jinyi Qi family fought against the Northern Han people, but they never had a sword and soldier dispute with the Eastern Qi people.

Qi Ning knew that the prince was obviously quite suspicious of this matter, otherwise he would never be so polite to himself in the case of losing his brother, which shows that the prince of Dongqi is also a person who can control his emotions.

He suddenly thought that the prince had ordered Fang Xingzhai to go and fetch wine, but after King Linzi was poisoned, Fang Xingzhai was extremely excited, was there anything to say about this? If it is said that poisoning, Fang Xingzhai obviously has a great chance.

Qi Ning pondered in the tent for a long time, and he didn't know what the prince would do next, but one thing he understood was that before there was absolutely conclusive evidence, the people of Eastern Qi did not dare to act rashly against the mission, after all, the mission represented Southern Chu, and the national strength of Chu was far above that of Eastern Qi.

If the situation is compelled, even if Chu will not launch a full-scale war against Eastern Qi, it will not send a force of soldiers and horses to conduct a local war.

The people of Eastern Qi have scruples, so Qi Ning believes that before the other party can come up with strong evidence, he and the mission should still be very safe.

Thinking of the envoy to Dongqi, he has not yet arrived in Lu Wangcheng, there are many difficulties along the way, strange things happen one after another, I just feel that it is really very difficult to do something, I can't help but sigh, after this sigh, Qi Ning was suddenly stunned, because after he sighed, there seemed to be an echo, and this echo seemed to be a woman's voice.

Qi Ning immediately got up and looked around, the tent was not big, the furnishings inside were simple, just a casual glance, the situation inside could be seen at a glance.

He frowned, thinking that it seemed that he was thinking too much, and hallucinations appeared in his mind, but he just followed his sigh, which was quite clear, and he could hear that it was a woman's voice, which was very strange, and he was wondering, and suddenly saw the tent being lifted, and a person walked in, but it was a servant in Tsing Yi, with his head down, and came in with a tray, and he didn't speak, walked to the side of the case, and put the tray on the table, but it was a pot of tea, plus two small snacks.

Qi Ning frowned and asked, "Who asked you to send it?" ”

The servant said: "Your Highness ordered, don't neglect the brocade clothes, this is the villain sent by His Royal Highness, if the Hou Ye has any needs, he can order at any time." Without saying much, he was about to retreat, Qi Ning glanced at it and shouted, "Wait!" ”

The man bowed his head and said, "What else does Master Hou command?" ”

"You're the prince's attendant?" Qi Ning asked, "Have you ever practiced martial arts?" ”

The man didn't look up, but said, "The villain is a miscellaneous servant, and he has never practiced martial arts." ”

Qi Ning stared at his hand and said, "But your hand tells me that you have practiced kung fu for at least ten years." He suddenly got up and said, "Why hide it?" ”

The man immediately retreated, turned around and left, hurriedly walked out of the tent, Qi Ning felt that something was wrong, rushed forward, lifted the tent and went out, before he took two steps, he saw the cold light flashing, two big knives blocked the front, two soldiers staggered with big swords, stared at Qi Ning, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Hou, Your Highness has an order, please rest in the tent, and you must not leave." ”

Qi Ning glanced at it, and saw seven or eight soldiers on the side, four soldiers holding spears and aiming at this side, and two of them stood farther away, took bows and arrows in their hands, and stared at him coldly.

Qi Ning frowned, with his martial arts, it was not a problem to deal with these guards, but it was naturally difficult to use force at this time, he glanced at it, and saw that the back of Fang Cai's green-clothed servant was not far from the left, and he raised his hand and said, "Catch that person, he has a problem." ”

A few people turned around, the figure of the green-clothed servant flashed, and he had already turned to the back of a tent, and a soldier asked, "Who does Master Hou want to arrest?" ”

Qi Ning sighed and said, "If you don't catch anyone, just catch me." "I thought that if you hadn't blocked it and moved faster, it would have been impossible for the Tsing Yi servant to run away, but just a moment, the Tsing Yi servant pulled away a considerable distance, which shows that his foot speed is really not weak.

Several soldiers looked at each other, thinking that this brocade was inexplicable, could it be crazy?

Qi Ning groaned slightly and asked, "Someone entered the account just now, can you see it?" ”

"It was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who sent someone to deliver food to the Hou Ye." A soldier said, "Is Master Hou saying that there is something wrong with that person?" ”

Qi Ning glanced at the soldier, thinking that you are not stupid, but he couldn't tell these soldiers clearly, and said, "I want to see His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

"His Royal Highness is bathing and changing clothes for the little prince, and no one dares to disturb." The soldier said: "If the Hou Ye wants to see His Royal Highness, it is better to wait." ”

Qi Ning was stunned, but immediately understood that when the King of Linzi was poisoned, the seven orifices were bleeding, which looked very terrifying, and the prince and the King of Linzi had a deep relationship, thinking that he was personally wiping the body of the King of Linzi, and suddenly thought that since the prince was wiping the body of the King of Linzi and was grieving, how could he think of sending someone to send something to him? frowned, and said, "I want to see Situ Changshi, and invite him over quickly." ”
