Chapter 233: Relief
His thin lips opened, and he began to tighten his throat with relief, but the slightly trembling tone mercilessly reflected the deepest and most urgent fear and fury in his heart.
During the whole process, Sihan stared at him with deep eyes, no longer saying half a word, but the coldness and coldness in his heart became more and more intense.
This huge Great Chu Palace, which is not on fire elsewhere, is on fire in the crescent moon hall where she lives, which is weird. Moreover, Dongfang Yan's anxious and furious reaction doesn't seem to be a fraud, could it be that today's incident was not done by someone he sent to do it? And the real murderer, who else?
The more I thought about it, the more I realized that tonight's events were not simple.
She Yan Sihan boasted that she had never offended the people of Da Chu, nor had she made a feud with anyone in Da Chu, but now she has just entered the Crescent Moon Hall of Da Chu, and she has suffered this catastrophe! If she went to bed very early today because of the fatigue of the journey, or was unwilling to go out because of the cold night, so, if there were no such changes, would she Yan Sihan be wrapped in this sudden and rapid fire?
Her thoughts were churning and swaying, and the doubts and frowning in her heart were rising more and more, and when she came back to her senses, she swept her eyes around, but saw that the people around her were all looking at the fierce crescent moon hall in front of her with different expressions.
Is there a real murderer among these people?
Or, is the so-called murderer wantonly snooping on her in the shadows?
"Eldest Princess." At this moment, a resolute and frowning voice came not far away.
Si Hanyu came back to his senses, followed the sound, and saw Shan Zhongze running over with a bucket. Because he ran too quickly, most of the water in his bucket was spilled, and when he stood in front of Sihan, he said worriedly: "The fire here is too big, the eldest princess will go elsewhere to split first, this crescent hall, most of them are made of wood, and the subordinates are worried that the crescent hall will suddenly collapse and hurt people." ”
Si Han's face was silent, and his eyes swept towards the crescent moon hall in front of him, "It's okay, you and Chu Jun will fight the fire together." Here in this palace, you don't need to worry. ”
Shan Zhongze's brows furrowed greatly, he hesitated for a moment, and seeing that Sihan insisted, he didn't say anything after all, but only recruited a few Tanglin guards to wait beside Sihan, and then left with a bucket.
The night was cold, the cold wind was raging, and the tongue of fire in the crescent moon hall was swayed by the strong wind, and there was a tendency to spread to the side.
Everywhere around, the scene was messy, with the sound of breaking water and shouts coming and going, and the formation was huge.
Sihan stood quietly in place, without saying a word, his pupils were deep and bottomless, and his aura was strong.
For a long time, when the chatter of everyone around him stopped, and when Sihan's legs were stiff and sore, the open flames on the huge crescent moon hall were finally extinguished.
In the air, the smell of burning was disgustingly thick, and on the crescent moon hall, huge streams of water vapor and green smoke floated up.
And the sky, which had just been ignited by the firelight, had suddenly stopped, and it was pitch black and heavy, leaving only a few scattered stars, which were exuding extremely faint light and shadow.
Tonight's big drama is, after all, rested.
Sihan came back to his senses and couldn't help but move his stiff legs slightly, but in a moment, Dongfang Yan beside him suddenly roared, "Come, everyone who will be present, all surround, no one is allowed to leave!" ”
The cold voice, the majesty and solemnity, the coldness and toughness in the tone have not diminished in the slightest.
As soon as these words fell, a large group of armored guards appeared out of nowhere, and they were wrapped in layers, swords facing each other, and in an instant, all the people present to watch the excitement were surrounded by water.
"Who are you? How dare you send people around this king? Do you know that this king is ......"
In an instant, there was a boiling sound in the crowd, and the green-bearded man not far from Sihan immediately roared, but before he could say anything, someone hurriedly reminded, "Lord Wang, that is the prince of Tanglin." ”
As soon as these words came out, the green-bearded man who was shouting suddenly choked up, his eyes immediately swayed a little, and then he stared at the east a few times and stopped talking.
For a while, the surrounding atmosphere was also inexplicably silent, Dongfang Yan's eyes were gloomy, he took a step forward, and after standing on the stairs in front of him, he swept his eyes towards the people present, "The crescent moon hall caught fire for no reason, and it almost affected the eldest princess of Tanglin." This matter is not trivial, and the people who live in the Great Chu Palace are all suspicious. ”
As soon as the majestic voices came out, the people present became more and more helpless.
They just saw or rushed to the sky, and came to see the excitement, how could they go around and around, and they became suspects.
Everyone present blew their beards and glared, or frowned, helpless, and the subtle voices began to sway densely again.
After only a moment, someone else began to say in a good voice: "Prince Tanglin, this crescent moon hall is on fire, and we are also surprised, but if you want to find the murderer, why do you surround us here?" The people of my Great Qi have never intersected with Tanglin, and they can't afford to burn the crescent moon hall where the eldest princess of Donglin lives so much. ”
"In this way, my country of Loulan is also innocent, and my Loulan is not anxious about Tanglin, how can I harm Tanglin for no reason."
The voices of one after another began to rise, and everyone said a word, and I said a word, but they were all dissociating themselves.
During the whole process, Sihan saw it in his eyes, without saying a word, and his eyes began to look carefully in the crowd.
There are so many people this time, if Dongfang Yan wants to investigate the murderer like this, he can't find out, and even, if the ordinary murderer had set fire to this crescent moon hall, he would have fled a long time ago, and how could he still stay in this place where the crime occurred to watch the excitement regardless of the danger?
Therefore, if Dongfang Yan investigates like this, he may find out tomorrow, but he will not be able to find out why.
Sihan's face was gloomy and his heart was cold.
In a moment, some people resisted Dongfang's dominance and arrogance, and began to say gloomily: "The country of Tanglin rarely has disputes with the world, and the other four countries and Tanglin really have little to do with each other. But if you want to say that you have the greatest intersection and blood feud with Tanglin, it is also you Tanglin who is. Your Dongling country only destroyed the first emperor and the first prince of Tanglin before, and now the eldest princess of Donglin is here, I don't know if your Donglin people have the intention of cutting grass and destroying roots. ”
When these words came into his ears, Sihan raised the corners of his eyes, and his gloomy gaze fell towards the east.
Dongfang Yan was very annoyed, and his eyes fell on the person who spoke, "Who are you?" ”
The man didn't speak, just took a few steps forward slowly, and the whole person slowly stood out from the crowd.
The surrounding light and shadow fell on him, Sihan turned his eyes, looked at it, and saw that the person was covered in purple, with a golden crown on his head, and the whole person was full of laughter, which was really cynical.
"This king, the second prince of Da Chu, the honorary king of the imperial seal, Xiao Lou." As soon as the man's thin lips opened, he opened his mouth, and his voice was quite proud, as if he was a silent provocation to Dongfang, completely fearless.
Dongfang Yan's pupils shrank, "You are the second son of the King of Chu, the second prince of Chu who likes Fengyue and is nostalgic for the willow lane of Flower Street, Xiao Lou?" ”
His words are really not good words, the king of Chu has a notorious second son, which is known to the world.
However, as soon as these words came out, Xiao Lou's face was inconvenient, probably because he was used to being cheeky, but he laughed and began to correct in a serious manner: "The words of the prince of Tanglin, this king doesn't like to hear it, this king is not nostalgic for Huajie Liuxiang, but for the people of Huajie Liuxiang." To the north of Chujing, there is an alley that is very lively at night, why don't you take the prince of Tanglin to take a look one day? Maybe when you get there, red crisp hands, soft fingers, let you Jin Ge Iron Horse be a tough guy, when you get there, you are all drunk under the peony flowers, and it is worth it to die. ”
Xiao Lou's words were really explicit, and when the end fell, he shocked a lot of people.
In any case, this time it was Chu Jing after all, this time Xiao Lou, as the host of Chu Jing, no matter what, he changed to uphold the etiquette and law and entertained people, but what they didn't expect was that this Xiao Lou did not take into account the prestige of Chu State, and wantonly preached obscenity in public, which was undoubtedly too much of a joke, which made some slightly older courtiers of various countries shake their heads irrepressibly.
It is no wonder that the second prince of Great Chu is so famous, and it is no wonder that after the sudden death of the prince of Great Chu, the king of Chu did not consider the second prince of Great Chu to succeed to the East Palace, but chose Xiao Hong, the third prince of Great Chu.
Such a character as the second prince of Da Chu is undoubtedly difficult to become a climate.
"What is the preference of the second prince, the palace has no intention of exploring. The main hall only asked, the palace of Da Chu here is only used to entertain envoys from various countries, how did you, the second prince, appear in this palace? ”
It was only a moment, and in the solemn and cold atmosphere, Dongfang Yan once again spoke gloomily.
Xiao Lou complained a little, and said slowly: "What else can it be?" It's just that I made a mistake, let my old man drive this king out of the Chu Palace, and now this king has nowhere to go, he can't live on the streets, in this palace, there is also a place where this palace lives, this king, naturally come here to settle down. Why, is it possible that this palace appeared in this palace, and the prince of Tanglin asked like this, don't you think that this palace is the murderer of the fire-burning crescent moon hall today? ”
His attitude is really a little lazy, but also a little contemptuous and sarcastic, as soon as these words came out, he didn't wait for Dongfang Yan to react, he turned his eyes straight towards Sihan, even though the night was cold, the light and shadow were dim, and there were still many people standing around Sihan, but that Xiao Lou could stare at Sihan at a glance, hooked his thin lips, and said slowly: "The eldest princess of Tanglin looks curvaceous and delicate, but her face is colder, this king is curious, how did the eldest princess of Tanglin accept the prince of Dongling." Look at the anxious appearance of the prince of Donglin, he really wants to swallow everyone present for the sake of the eldest princess, at this time, the eldest princess is not ready to say something? ”
Sihan's pupils shrank, and his complexion sank a little, under the light this time, the light and shadow were dim, if Xiao Lou hadn't noticed her at the beginning and recognized her, he wouldn't have suddenly looked at her accurately.
Moreover, tonight's incident, she Yan Sihan is just the victim, and now Xiao Lou's words are undoubtedly all on her.
For example, if she doesn't open her mouth tonight to relieve the siege for these people around her, she will definitely offend all the people around her, if she opens her mouth to relieve the siege for the people around her, then the fire in the Crescent Moon Hall tonight will definitely become an unsolved case, and it is not easy to overturn the case, and she Yan Sihan has also suffered a dumb loss, and she has nowhere to say anything.
I have to say that this Xiao Lou seems to be a ruffian, but in fact, he plays a good chess hand.
She knew it in her heart, and looked at him with deep and cold eyes, but she didn't say anything.
Xiao Lou looked at her with interest, and after a while, he hooked his lips and smiled, "It seems that the eldest princess of Tanglin is unwilling to relieve me and others present." Also, I heard that Tanglin has already passed the letter of peace to Dongling, and strives for the eldest princess of Tanglin to be harmonious, and now the eldest princess of Tanglin and the prince of Donglin have joined forces, wantonly pressing, not to mention whether the fire in the crescent moon hall is a joint effort between the two, just to frame the case, just say that they want to arrest the so-called murderer, in case it is a thief shouting to catch the thief, we are surrounded by you on the spot, is it not very wronged? ”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people present changed more and more, and some people were immediately instigated by his words, and said angrily: "Prince Tanglin, Princess Tanglin, don't go too far." This time all the nations are here, are you doing this to oppose the nations? ”
Dongfang said coldly: "Presumptuous! I will never use such tricks to embarrass others. ”
"Prince Tanglin won't, but it doesn't mean that Princess Tanglin won't. The so-called most poisonous woman's heart, maybe even the prince of Tanglin you, was deceived by the eldest princess of Tanglin. ”
"Yes, yes, the crescent moon hall was fine a few days ago, why did the eldest princess of Tanglin suddenly catch fire as soon as she settled in today."
"Isn't that easy? This time it must have been the eldest princess of Tanglin who deliberately set the fire, so as to join forces with the prince of Tanglin to put us together. He Donglin has long been determined to dominate, and Donglin is not a vassal country of Dongling, these two countries are originally a family, and they are acting on their own, but they just want the rest of us to look good. ”
“……”
Noisy and complicated voices, messy.
On the stairs, the long-slender Dongfang Yan was already furious, and his eyes were full of ups and downs.
After only a moment, he burst into rage, "Shut up! ”
The majestic and fierce voice, mixed with a little internal force that has never been concealed, as soon as these words come out, it seems that even the surrounding air has shaken, and the power is compelling.
In an instant, the people present were tense, and they were immediately silent, and only Xiao Lou stood lazily, smiling wickedly, and the slender peach blossom eyes were still looking at Chao Sihan with interest.
Today's drama is undoubtedly exciting.
She Yan Sihan, the victim, has now become a self-directed arsonist.
She had no intention of being an enemy of the other powers in the Chu State, but now, it is not that she can live in peace if she wants to.
The whirlpool has been formed, the trap has been laid, and now she inexplicably finds that among the people in the audience, Xiao Lou, who is the only one with a flowery tongue, is the most suspicious.
"Generally, the evildoer will not admit it in person, but will blame others and wantonly shirk the blame, and I don't know what the second prince of Da Chu is so aggressive tonight, and his behavior is obviously high-profile? Moreover, the fire in the Crescent Moon Hall today is really not set by the main palace, and the main palace is no matter how poisonous it is, and it will definitely not take his life and joke with the crescent palace where he lives. If others are arbitrary and sarcastic, and suspicious at will, the country of Tanglin in this palace cannot fight with the countries, but it can also make the countries not live in peace. Similarly, in this world, no matter how strong a person is, there will be weaknesses, and no matter how weak a person is, he also has strengths. ”
A distant voice, silent and cold.
However, as soon as these words came out, Xiao Lou chuckled, "The eldest princess of Tanglin is going to be powerful?" Or is it annoyed and angry? ”
His words are really not respectful, let alone respectful.
Sihan looked at him indifferently and coldly, and he was not angry, but said: "The second prince is so concerned about whether the palace is angry?" ”
She asked nonchalantly.
Xiao Lou crossed his arms around his chest, and his eyes swept over Sihan explicitly, "The eldest princess of Donglin is also a beautiful woman in the city, the beauty is angry, and this king, the host, cares about herself." ”
"Didn't the second prince still suspect that the palace was the murderer who set fire to the Crescent Palace, and now, he is not worried that the palace is vicious and will suddenly attack the second prince?"
"This king's life is hard, it's hard everywhere, the beauty beats it twice at will, it's just a tickle, heh, it's the eldest princess of Tanglin whose hands are stained with blood and let the fire go, this king also likes it." Who said to avoid the femme fatale? The daughter of the femme fatale is even more amorous and crispy. ”
"You are presumptuous!"
Shan Zhongze on the side finally couldn't listen to it anymore, and suddenly shouted angrily, and before the end of the note, he had already drawn the sword on his waist, and was about to stab towards Xiao Lou in an instant.
Xiao Lou suddenly turned around, turned a corner and trotted to the rear of several Chu State guards, and drank with great interest, "Wait and see, say that she is a snake and scorpion, and say that she has let the fire go, she will be annoyed and angry." What is the truth of this farce today, it is already clear that the eldest princess of Tanglin and the prince of Tanglin colluded to kill and set us all on the crime of murder and arson, and trapped in front of this crescent palace. ”
The incendiary meaning of the words full of interest was extremely obvious, and in an instant, the faces of the people present changed more and more abruptly, and the hearts of the people were different.
Protesting together, angrily reprimanded, some people suddenly began to push the Tanglin guards in the outer circle, as if they wanted to forcibly break through the encirclement of the Tanglin guards and leave.
For a moment, the scene was chaotic.
Dongfang Yan on the stairs was very cold.
He marched and fought all year round, although as the prince of Tanglin, he could also handle the affairs of the country, but he really did not deal with such scenes, and it was not easy to use the harsh laws in the army to suppress, suppress and stop.
Just when the scene was out of control, not far away, the voice of the guard Liu Wei suddenly came, "His Royal Highness the Prince, the murderer has been caught." ”
Liu Wei's voice was so great that it even completely overshadowed the noise around him.
As soon as these words came out, the people present were subconsciously stunned, but in a moment, Liu Wei and Fu Jiu, who were full of energy, actually pressed one person at the same time and came quickly towards the east.
Sihan looked fixedly, and saw that the person Liu Wei and Fu Jiu were holding was a man in armor, and the man, frowning, his face was sad and desperate, and when he was escorted by Liu Wei and Fu Jiu and knelt in front of Dongfang Yan, he was weak and collapsed to the ground.
"Liu Yu?"
Dongfang was shocked, and Xiao Lou, who was standing behind Chu Wei, couldn't help but be stunned.
