Chapter 164: Xianyun Idle King
Spring was born and autumn died, and in a blink of an eye, it was the second day of the first month of February, and to everyone's surprise, the hunting line of the original few people increased to more than a dozen. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Among these people, in addition to Pei Shudong, Zuo Zhen and Liu Zhengsheng, who came to celebrate his birthday, there were also Zhu Jia, Jiang Cheng and some other officials who came to congratulate him.
The most surprising thing is that Liu Haopage, the king of Xianyun, also came, and the king of Xianyun had not been in contact with officialdom for many years, and this time he came, but he only said that he was here to join in the fun.
More than a dozen people rode slowly through the woods, most of them, the atmosphere was quiet and terrible, and some tried to stir up the atmosphere, but failed.
Seeing this atmosphere, King Xianyun was a little impatient, and took the arrow behind him and said: "Why don't we come to the competition, within two hours, whoever catches more prey will win." ”
Just when everyone wanted to shout, he said: "Knowing that your archery is magical, I also want to open my eyes, and there must be a rule in this rule, only those who shoot the head of the prey can be counted, and if they shoot other parts, they will be invalid, how about it?" ”
When he said this, he naturally added difficulty to the game, but no one refuted it, and everyone's faces flashed a trace of fighting spirit.
Zuo Zhen is a big old man, he often forgets etiquette, raises his horsewhip, and said in a rough voice: "This idea is excellent, then I won't let you." ”
As soon as the words fell, the whip in his hand had already been waved on the horse's back, and the horse's hooves were so powerful that they kicked everyone to ashes, and they had to scold him behind his back.
Chu Shenxia saw that everyone was driving forward, and even Lu Zhi, who had always been loyal to his duties, couldn't help but chase after him, but the king of Xianyun, who proposed this proposal, looked at the people in the distance, and had no intention of leaving.
At this time, there were only Liu Yan, Chu Shenxia and King Xianyun who remained in place, Liu Yan drove the horse to his side and asked, "Uncle Huang is interested in competing with me?" ”
King Xianyun glanced past Liu Yan at Chu Shenxia, waved his hand at Liu Yan and smiled: "I'm not interested, I'm not interested, why don't we go back to the villa for tea?" What's the point of hunting? ”
Chu Shenxia's eyes jumped slightly, and he saw that King Xianyun was deliberately throwing off everyone. I didn't know what he meant, and I didn't know much about him, and for a while, I couldn't be sure whether he was friend or foe.
Liu Yan obviously felt that something was wrong. gave Chu Shenxia a good look, so he complied with the intention of offering the king of Yun, and drove the horse back to the villa.
"Why did Your Highness come back? Isn't this supposed to be hunting? As soon as Ruoyu spoke, the two people beside her also looked back at each other.
King Xianyun seemed to see something, and his eyes lit up. Suddenly strode up to them, looked down at the chess game, and said with a smile: "You female dolls playing chess are so interesting, it's not simple, it's not simple." ”
Xu was that his expression was too exaggerated, Yongming and Banrong didn't pay attention to him, they just stood up unhurriedly and saluted.
King Xianyun felt bored, so he beckoned the two who were standing on the side stupidly, and walked to a room with the most beautiful scenery.
He beckoned them to sit down and poured tea for them himself. looked at Liu Yan for a while, pointed at him and smiled: "You are still the same as when you were a child, exactly the same, and you are still this stupid." ”
Liu Yan was stunned, his lips trembled slightly, in the end it was nothing, this was his imperial uncle, no matter what, he always understood the truth of respecting the elderly.
"You kid looks smart," King Xianyun suddenly turned his head and pointed at Chu Shenxia. He smiled and said, "It's very clean, it's thoughtful, I like it." ”
Chu Shenxia felt that his words seemed to be in a fog. It's a big mystery, but no matter what I think, I can't figure out what he means.
Out of his mind, King Xianyun had already taken out a jade pendant, which he would take to Chu Shenxia for a while, and then in front of Liu Yan. It seems that it is impossible to decide.
King Xianyun's face was full of doubts, and after thinking about it, he put the jade pendant on the table, took the cup on the side and smashed it with force, smashed the fine jade pendant in half, and handed it to them with a smile and said: "Today is abrupt, and there is no meeting gift, this king will give you this good jade pendant, one and a half." ”
Chu Shenxia was puzzled at first, but when he took the jade pendant, his eyes couldn't help but be shocked, where is this smashed hole, such a straight mouth is clearly cut with a knife in advance, this Xianyun King is obviously prepared.
King Xianyun noticed Chu Shenxia's gaze, and suddenly laughed, so shocked that Chu Shenxia almost dropped the jade pendant in his hand, and when he raised his eyes to look at him, he had stopped smiling and said: "Quickly put it away, don't lose it, the best jade is not easy to come by." ”
"Peng!" There was a sound on the ground, and I didn't know what movement came from outside, Chu Shenxia and Liu Yan hurriedly rushed outside the room, and when they hurried downstairs, Ruoyu rushed to his side, with a worried face.
"Didn't the voice come from you?" Liu Yan was surprised.
Ruoyu was also a little surprised: "No, isn't it from upstairs?" The movement was too big, and I was afraid that His Highness would make a mistake, so I rushed over. ”
"There's no movement upstairs," Liu Yan frowned and called Lu Zhi, but found that he was not there, so he had to check the villa with Chu Shenxia.
After finding nothing, Liu Yan and Chu Shenxia slowly walked upstairs, and Liu Yan couldn't help muttering: "It's really strange, what happened to the movement just now?" ”
"I can't say either, it seems that we still have to be more vigilant, so as not to ......" Chu Shenxia, who was walking in front of Liu Yan, suddenly paused when he said this, Liu Yan couldn't help but ask, "So as not to what?" ”
But when his eyes fell on the room, the whole person froze, and King Xianyun, who was still smiling and greeting, fell to the ground, and the two reacted and hurriedly stepped forward to check the breath.
Chu Shenxia was attracted by a scar on his neck, and he was killed with a knife, no, to be precise, this was not a knife wound, but a wound caused by Jing Min's unique swordsmanship, which looked no different from a knife wound.
Liu Yan probed his breath, and the whole person was stunned, the imperial uncle who had not been seen for many years suddenly appeared, deliberately avoiding others and being alone with himself, but what he said was a divine chatter, and he didn't know what he meant, and now he was inexplicably killed here, which is really confusing.
"Your Highness, inform the Criminal Department and the Punishment Temple." Chu Shenxia patted Liu Yan on the shoulder, trying to reduce his uneasiness.
Liu Yan's eyes were misty, he turned around, but he couldn't find the focus, and said very frustratedly: "Is there still many things that we can't imagine waiting for us, one after another forces are emerging in an endless stream, I thought that to this day, I have seen the situation of the DPRK clearly, but it is still not clear." ”
"In fact, these forces are fighting back and forth, but they can't escape Liu Yu's palm." Chu Shenxia said suddenly.
Fang Cai's still discrete eyes suddenly became energetic, Liu Yan turned his head to look at him sharply, and asked vigorously, "What do you mean?" Do you know the purpose of Uncle Huang? ”
"I don't know," Chu Shenxia looked at Liu Yan and said without dodging, "I only know that the person who killed the prince was sent by Liu Yu." ”
Liu Yan stared at Chu Shenxia's gaze tightly, and slowly spoke, "Is it Jing Yan?" ”
Chu Shenxia avoided Liu Yan's burning gaze, did not nod or shake his head, the corners of Liu Yan's mouth hooked slightly, and he threw his sleeves out of the room.
The emperor was very sad about the death of King Xianyun.
Over the years, a lot of people around him have died, and there is only one King Xianyun left, but King Xianyun Yehe does not touch the government at all, and the emperor really can't help him, so he has to let him out to be an idle king.
The emperor couldn't help but be a little displeased when he saw that Chen Que had investigated Qixia Mountain for so many days without results, but he didn't have the heart to worry about him at this time, but just ordered him to shift his focus to the death of King Xianyun.
Chen Zhiming naturally didn't know that King Xianyun was killed by Jing Yan, so he tracked down very carefully, and even what King Xianyun did and said before he died, he had to ask carefully.
After such a check, he pointed the finger at Chu Shenxia, Chu Shenxia and Liu Yan were inseparable at that time, he naturally couldn't doubt Liu Yan, so he had to suspect Chu Shenxia.
"I said that I wouldn't let Chu Shenxia go to the Punishment Temple with you." Liu Yan stopped Chen Zhiming outside the main gate of the East Palace again.
However, this time Chen Zhiming's identity has changed, he is no longer the original sinner, but the head of the Punishment Temple, he is not angry but laughs: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I am not here to search the palace, nor am I here to stir up trouble, but just to ask Chu Shenxia some questions, why is His Highness so nervous?" ”
Seeing the sneer in his eyes, Liu Yan couldn't help but get goosebumps, and said coldly: "Ask some questions?" Chen Zhiming, I know very well what kind of place the Sixing Temple is, and I also know very well what kind of person you are. Either you go and ask your father for a decree to come back, otherwise I will never agree. ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, why bother? It's just a question for a doorman, why bother the emperor? Our torture temple is a place that pays attention to evidence, and it will never be difficult for Chu Shenxia, this is always okay, right? Chen Zhiming's tone was slightly playful, the more anxious he Liu Yan was, the happier he became.
"You obviously know that the **** and Chu Shenxia have been together all the time, if you have anything to ask, why don't you ask me." Liu Yan looked at him coldly, but unexpectedly, the person in front of him said with a happy face, "That's okay, but the emperor will investigate it, and His Royal Highness will defend me, and His Royal Highness insists on going back with me." ”
Lu Zhi couldn't help but scolded: "This is His Royal Highness the Prince, are you worthy to ask His Royal Highness the Prince?" If Your Highness is injured at all, can you afford it? ”
"I can't afford it," Chen Zhiming retracted the sneer on his face and said sharply, "Even you know that I can't afford it, so Your Highness shouldn't say such things to perfunctory me, hand over Chu Shenxia, and make trouble to the emperor, no one's face will look good." ”
"Isn't it the Punishment Temple? I'm a regular there, so let's go. ”
Liu Yan heard the familiar voice behind him, turned his head suddenly, and said repeatedly: "I can't go!" ”
"Why can't I go, there, I can't be more familiar with it, Your Highness, don't worry, I have to go and return." Chu Shenxia snorted lightly and walked in front of Chen Zhiming.
