184. The concubine is dull and does not dare to speculate
At this moment, Xiong Yi suddenly stopped, looked at her with a little scrutiny, and his momentum was a little compelling: "The little lady is very capable, I Xiong Yi has seen a woman who can get out safely after entering this camp, but you are the only one!" ”
The woman hooked her lips and smiled, took a step back, and said slowly: "Vice General Xiong is questioning the prince's decision?" ”
Xiong Yi glared at her with unkind eyes: "Little lady, don't talk nonsense!" Xiong Yi has followed the prince for more than eight years, and this loyalty and courage is not something you can instigate! ”
"Vice General Xiong doesn't have to be nervous, the concubine is just asking casually." She retracted her eyes and walked slowly towards the sentry post.
Before leaving the sentry post, she suddenly looked back and said to the person behind her with a straight face: "By the way, the concubine just missed something, why don't Deputy Xiong help the concubine convey it on her behalf." ”
"What?" Xiong Yi had a little defensiveness in his eyes.
"There is news from Kyoto, saying that Lord Bai of Dali Temple has expelled his daughter Bai Zhiru from the family tree yesterday. However, just the day before yesterday, the concubine met the family of the White Mansion at General Xuanwu's place......"
Xiong Yi had a suspicion in his heart, this Miss Bai family came to the stall too coincidentally, he was already suspicious, but he didn't know what trick this woman used, and let the prince take her into the account, even if he had doubts, it was not easy to move the master's woman.
Now that she said this, Xiong Yi's suspicion of the Bai family was even more confirmed: "What do you mean, the Bai family's Miss is ......"
"Vice Admiral Xiong! The concubine didn't say anything. It's just that he said what he saw with his own eyes. The concubine spoke first, directly cutting off his unspoken speculation, and then said with a deep meaning, "The concubine is stupid and doesn't dare to speculate." However, Vice General Xiong can remind the prince that the Bai family has made great contributions in the battle of King Qin that year, but not many people know about this credit, but if you have the heart to inquire, you will definitely know a thing or two......"
Xiong Yi tugged at the beard on his chin, and his thoughts were shaken by her words.
Seeing that the goal was achieved, the woman blessed her body slightly, turned over on her horse with a smile on her face, and left with a whip......
Xiong Yi weighed what she had just said in his heart, then hurriedly entered the camp tent and told Tang Yuanhuai about it.
Tang Yuanhuai held the teacup in his hand and tossed for a long time before he opened his mouth and ordered: "Go and bring Cheng Shen to me!" ”
"Yes."
But in a moment, a man wearing a thin prison uniform and shackled limbs was brought to Tang Yuanhuai.
"Lord Wang, someone brought it over."
Tang Yuanhuai raised his eyes from the sand table and looked at the prisoner with a cold face: "Master Cheng, how are you doing lately?" ”
A hint of mockery flashed at the corner of Cheng Shen's lips, and he said lightly: "Lord Lao remembers, the old man is very good." ”
"Huh." Tang Yuanhuai chuckled, "The military advisor is worthy of being under the command of the Protector of the Country, and he can bend and stretch, and this king really admires it." ”
"The prince has something to say, why bother talking with the old man like this?!"
The smile on the corner of Tang Yuanhuai's mouth flickered, and a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, and then he said: "This king just wants to inquire about an old matter with the military advisor. ”
"There are too many old things, the old man is old, and his memory is not very good, I don't know which one the prince wants to inquire about?" Cheng Shen rubbed the dark iron shackles on his wrist with his fingers, and asked quietly.
"Dali Siqing, Bai Jin."
"Lord Bai, ......" Cheng Shen raised his eyebrows slightly, thought for a moment in his heart, smiled randomly, and said lightly, "Lord Bai is a hero, in the battle of King Qin back then, Lord Bai was a first-class meritorious ......"
Listening to him talk about the events of the year unhurriedly, Tang Yuanhuai's fingers were tightly closed, and his knuckles were blue and white due to excessive force.
"Xiong Yi, take Cheng Junshi down and send someone to invite Bai Zhiru to this king!" There was a hint of ruthlessness in his tone, like a bloodthirsty beast suppressing its restlessness against its prey.
"Yes."
When Bai Zhiru heard that the King of Huainan had passed her over, she was overjoyed, she was busy arranging her clothes, and inserted a golden phoenix glazed hairpin on her head, and then walked towards the main tent with lotus steps.
Tang Yuanhuai only raised his eyes and glanced at the visitor, then lowered it again, and a trace of killing intent slipped almost undetectably under his eyes.
Bai Zhiru didn't notice that Tang Yuanhuai was wrong, she leaned over and smiled smartly: "The concubine has seen the prince." ”
"No courtesy." Tang Yuanhuai's eyes didn't raise again, and he said quietly, "This king has a little bit of a problem, and I ask Miss Bai to solve the puzzle for this king." ”
"It is the honor of the concubine to be able to solve the prince's doubts. I don't know why the prince is stuck? ”
"This king wants to ask Miss Bai, where did you get that arrow?"
"This thing...... This thing was given by the concubine's father......" Bai Zhiru's eyes were a little fluttering, and her tone was also vain.
Tang Yuanhuai looked at her and sneered: "Whether it was given to you by Bai Jin or stolen by you, it seems that Miss Bai needs to think about it!" ”
After Bai Zhiru heard this, her face immediately lost her color, and she snorted, "Yes...... It's a concubine...... The concubine took it out of the Baifu ancestral hall......"
Tang Yuanhuai smiled with interest: "The things in the ancestral hall of Baifu can be taken out by Miss Bai without knowing it......"
Even if Bai Zhiru's brain is not good, she can hear that something is wrong at this time. Her shoulders trembled, and she hurriedly knelt down and grabbed King Huainan's sleeve: "Lord Wang...... The prince must believe in the concubine body, this thing is indeed taken out of the ancestral hall by the concubine body! ”
"The concubine heard...... I heard that this arrow was left in the battle of King Qin that year, and it was given to the Bai family by the saint, and I also heard that the prince has been looking for this thing...... So the concubine is ...... I thought about it, and I used this thing to ask the prince for protection......"
"I heard that this king is looking for this thing?" King Huainan hooked the arrow from her collar, played with it twice in her hand, and said lightly, "Do you know why this king is looking for it?" ”
Bai Zhiru shook her head gently, she only knew that this arrow was the weight of her life, but she had no way of knowing the origin of King Huainan and this thing.
King Huainan chuckled, as if mocking Bai Zhiru's ignorance, and as if laughing at himself. He released the arrow from his hand: "This thing was pulled out of a man's heart. That man...... He is a rebellious minister, a thief, and the royal brother who loves the king the most......"
Bai Zhiru froze in place as if she had been shocked. A sentence that her father had said flashed in her mind, he said that this thing was the glory of the Bai family......
Could it be......
Her face turned pale suddenly, and a chill welled up from the soles of her feet.
"Someone reminded me that the Bai family had made great contributions in the battle of King Qin that year. I don't know, Miss Bai knows, what is the credit? ”
"Concubine...... The concubine doesn't know ......" Bai Zhiru's eyes dodged, her heart was flustered, her hands trembled slightly, and she pinched the corners of her clothes tightly.
