Li Yuan was lying on the wooden board, the placket on his buttocks had been torn apart, and the blood stains were leaking, but Li Yuan seemed to have passed out, lying on the wooden board and not moving. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Qi Ning and Wei Shutong glanced at each other, but Li Hongxin had already said coldly: "Master Hou, Lord Wei, this king already knows about Li Yuan's mistake in killing the Miao people. Since the Black Rock Cave has been wronged, then the Miao people in the Black Rock Cave will not be a thief, Li Yuan has committed a big crime, and this king will hand him over to you now. ”

"Lord Wang, ...... are you?"

Li Hongxin waved his hand and said: "You don't have to say much, as the saying goes, the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, not to mention this little brute." Lord Wei, you are the official of Xichuan's parents, in charge of Xichuan's punishment, Master Hou, you are here by order, on behalf of the imperial court, how to deal with this little brute, the two are in charge, and this king will never have any protection. ”

Qi Ning saw Li Hongxin's expression, but he sneered in his heart.

When he went to Chengdu Mansion, he naturally had to challenge Li Hongxin about this matter, but he didn't want this old boy to go out of the city to greet him, so he took the initiative to send Li Yuan over.

Wei Shutong coughed, and then said: "Hou Ye, the prince said this, it can be said that he is upright, the prince is still in a coma now, in the opinion of the lower officials, it is better to send the prince to see the injury first, if how to deal with it, let's go back and discuss it, what do you think?" ”

Qi Ning knew that this was Li Hongxin's territory after all, and if he really tore his face in front of him, it would be bad, and said with a smile: "What Lord Wei said is, Lord Wang, it is better to send someone to the prince to see the doctor first, the prince is weak, if there are really three long and two short, it is really not good." ”

Li Hongxin sighed and said: "The dog's failure is all the fault of this king, and this king's negligence in discipline will lead to today." Since both of them have said so, the king has no objection, but the matter must not stop there, otherwise someone will say that the king has bent the law for personal gain. He didn't look back, he just let Li Yuan go down first.

Eve was behind Qi Ning, her pretty face was cold, she naturally wanted to chop Li Yuan with a knife, but she was a smart woman after all, and she knew very well in her heart that at this time, it would not be a good thing to really tear her face with Li Hongxin.

Li Hongxin and Qi Ning walked side by side, and someone in front of them opened the way.

Obviously, many people in Chengdu know that the King of Shu went out of the city to welcome guests, and after entering the city, the streets are crowded with people, all come to see the excitement.

Li Hongxin's Jinguan guards were guarded on both sides, and there were cavalry in front of them to guide the way, and the road was also unimpeded.

As the capital of Xichuan, Chengdu City is majestic and huge, shops on both sides of the street gather, row upon row, the Yingying Poetry Building, Tea Tasting Building, Calligraphy and Painting Building, such as fine mutton fat and beautiful jade, trembling and swaying, the quaint bluestone road, in whispering the long past of this ancient city.

"Nine days out of Chengdu, thousands of doors into the drawing. The grass, trees, clouds and mountains are like splendor, and Qinchuan has no time here! Qi Ning rode a horse through the streets of Chengdu City, and suddenly opened his mouth to chant.

Li Hongxin was stunned for a moment, then stroked his beard and smiled: "Hou Ye is really good, I thought it was a general, but I didn't want Hou Ye's literary talent to be so good." ”

Qi Ning smiled: "Let the prince laugh!" ”

"Don't laugh, don't laugh." Li Hongxin sighed: "The old marquis of Jinyi and Ling Zun are the pillars of the world, folk rumors, our Li family and your Jinyi Qi family are incompatible, that is just a foul rumor in the market, in fact, this king has respect for the old marquis and Ling Zun." Back then, you and I did meet each other on the battlefield, but we didn't know each other if we didn't fight, and it was from that time that this king has always respected your Qi family. ”

"The prince is really open-minded." Qi Ning said: "When my father was alive, he also mentioned the prince to me many times, saying that the prince was both civil and military, and had outstanding talents, but he was a hero in the world, and said that if he could see the prince one day, he must ask the prince for advice. ”

He knew that Li Hongxin was full of lies, since this was the case, he could say it casually, anyway, Qi Jing was dead, and no one knew what he had said.

Li Hongxin said with a smile: "General Qi is wrong to love. ”

While speaking, he had already arrived in front of a magnificent pavilion, Li Hongxin said: "Lord Hou, this is the most famous restaurant in Chengdu Mansion, authentic Xichuan cuisine, and there are songs and dances of Xichuan, originally to set up a banquet in the palace to catch the wind and wash the dust for Lord Hou, but it is just .......!" But his expression became gloomy.

Qi Ning asked, "Is there any inconvenience for the prince?" ”

"This .......!" Li Hongxin hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "If it were someone else, this king would inevitably prevaricate, but since it is the Hou Ye, this king will not hide it from you, and the palace is holding a funeral." ”

"Funeral?" Qi Ning was stunned, and Wei Shutong on the side was also surprised: "Lord, is there ...... in the house?" ”

Li Hongxin had already said: "Master Hou, Master Wei actually knows a little about this matter. He turned over and dismounted, and said, "It's getting late, and I'm still going in to talk." ”

Everyone followed into the building, Jin Guanwei and Wei Shutong's soldiers and horses were guarding around the restaurant, but Eve and others also followed into the house.

The restaurant is magnificent, and very spacious, carved beams and painted buildings, the guys in the building are not dressed in the ordinary restaurant, very exquisite, there are many maids waiting, these maids are graceful, beautiful appearance, fair skin like beautiful jade.

Nishikawa is a beauty, and it has always been like this.

The first time Eve entered such a place, it was an eye-opener, and she saw Qi Ning walking past a group of beautiful maids, without squinting, and her heart was actually a little happy.

It's just that there was an arrangement in advance, Eve and a few Miao Han could only dine downstairs, and a sumptuous banquet had already been set up downstairs, and Qi Ning was invited to the second floor.

Eve Ben was a little worried that Qi Ning would go upstairs alone, and Qi Ning signaled that he didn't have to worry.

In the elegant hall on the second floor, eight beautiful girls with better posture waited on both sides, and a large vermilion table was already full of all kinds of wine and delicacies, full of aroma, although Qi Ning didn't know how to taste each dish, but the style looked extremely exquisite, which made people have a great appetite.

"Master Hou, you came all the way from the capital, and you should have summoned officials and gentry to accompany you." After sitting down, Li Hongxin said: "It's just that I got the news too hastily, today should be a light meal, and I will go back and wash the dust for Hou Ye, so I can invite the troupe to come over and perform a show." ”

Qi Ning smiled: "This is the best, few people are comfortable, yes, does the prince like to listen to dramas?" ”

"I don't like it." Li Hongxin said with a smile: "You have also seen that this king is very old, and he has time, he has nothing to do on weekdays, raises flowers and vegetables, and occasionally fights boxing. This Xichuan is the land of abundance, and it is the most suitable to live in the heavenly year. ”

"The prince is in good health, it's too early to talk about his retirement." Qi Ning said with a smile: "In my opinion, if the prince is on the horse, he can still lead thousands of troops and horses in all directions." ”

Li Hongxin's expression was calm, he shook his head and smiled: "No, I know my body, if I was ten years ago, it might be okay to go into battle and kill the ground, but now I can't do it." He raised his hand and said: "Master Hou, these are all special dishes of Xichuan, even in the capital, it is not easy to eat, you taste the taste, see if it is suitable." If you like it, you can bring the chefs in this restaurant back to the capital when the time comes, and let the families in the Hou Mansion taste authentic Xichuan dishes. ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Qi Ning picked up the chopsticks, but he was not worried about poisoning the dishes, with Li Hongxin's shrewdness, of course, it was impossible to make such a low mistake, tasted a few dishes, and gave a thumbs up: "Sure enough, the taste is beautiful, Lord Wang, you can't talk without words, the chef of this restaurant, I really want to bring it back to Beijing." ”

Li Hongxin laughed and said, "This king knows that the dishes here must be to your taste." ”

Qi Ning put down his chopsticks, and then asked, "Lord Wang, I talked about it downstairs just now....... Funeral, I don't know what's going on? ”

Li Hongxin's expression immediately became solemn, and he said: "Master Wei, the recent incident that people in Chengdu Fucheng are worried about, it is better for you to explain it to Hou Ye." ”

Wei Shutong frowned and said, "Lord Wang, is there ..... in the palace?" ”

Li Hongxin nodded slightly and said, "Last night, the king's concubine Feiqiong was killed!" ”

Qi Ning was stunned, and Wei Shutong was already shocked: "Lord Wang, you mean that the throat piercing ...... Broke into the palace at this moment? ”

Li Hongxin looked grim and sneered: "Although this king knew that the throat piercing was rampant, he didn't expect that he would be so bold and rush into this king's palace. The king's palace is heavily guarded, and since the appearance of the Throat Assassin, the palace has increased guards, but he didn't expect to sneak into the palace to assassinate him in the end. ”

"Lord Wang, what's the matter with the Throat Stabber?"

"About half a month ago, three officials in Chengdu were stabbed overnight, and all of them died through their throats." Li Hongxin's voice was low: "The other party is using a Qimen blade, like a sharp blade the size of a finger, which penetrates the throat, often sinking into the back of the neck and penetrating through the throat. This is a big case, Lord Wei immediately investigated, a few days later, another official was stabbed, until Feiqiong was killed last night, there were no less than seven people who died in the hands of the assassin, except for Feiqiong, everyone else was an official. He sneered and said, "It wasn't Feiqiong who wanted to assassinate the throat stabbing last night, but I'm afraid it was this king." ”

"Why did the prince say that?" Wei Shutong's expression was solemn.

Li Hongxin said: "This king summoned Feiqiong to sleep last night, and in the middle of the night, he couldn't sleep, so he went to the study, and when this king returned to the house, he found that Feiqiong was stabbed to death in the house by throat. He seemed calm, but the cold light in his eyes was like a knife, and he clenched his fists and said: "The assassin sneaked into the palace, naturally to assassinate the king, but was evaded by the king, and Feiqiong became the king's substitute ghost." ”

Wei Shutong's expression became more and more heavy: "Lord Wang, the throat piercing man has caused panic among the people of Chengdu Fucheng, and the officials have been derelict in their duties, although they have sent people to search day and night, but there is no clue so far." ”

Li Hongxin waved his hand and said, "Master Wei doesn't have to blame himself. The stabbing throat was able to sneak into the palace quietly, which shows the power of his martial arts, in fact, these days, the king has also sent people to search secretly, but there is no trace of it, the stinger is like a wandering ghost, it is difficult to find its trace. ”

Suddenly a gust of wind blew in outside the window, and the gloomy atmosphere was very infiltrating.
