Chapter 647: Feng Wan appeared
Li Shimin stood up with a wine glass, and Dou Hongxian stood beside him with another glass of wine on a tray. "King Zheng, in the past, he was a younger generation who offended a lot. Today, in front of King Chen and all the adults, the younger generation took this opportunity to pour wine and ask King Zheng for his guilt, I wonder if King Zheng can laugh at his enmity and forgive his recklessness and abruptness in the past? ”
Wang Shichong looked at him, "Okay." ”
Li Shimin felt that the eyes of all the people in the hall were focused on him at this moment. Just about to step forward, Pei Lin grabbed the hem of Li Shimin's robe tightly with his hand and asked quietly, "What are you doing here?" Why didn't you use that purple medicine? ”
"The ring is gone." Li Shimin said without hesitation, "This is the medicine I have prepared, I have to do this, if I miss this time, it will be difficult to find an opportunity." He shook Pei Lian's hand away with a slight flick.
Li Yuan, who was on the side, also heard Li Shimin and Pei Lian's words, and couldn't help but be shocked, and shouted in a low voice, "No, since the ring is lost, then the original plan will be suspended." Without that purple medicine, if you go up like this, even if you succeed, we will be found out immediately afterwards. At that time, our Li family will have to compensate them for the funeral, this matter is not worth it, we will find a chance next time. ”
"No, there's no chance, there won't be a next time." Li Shimin's eyes were red, the green tendons on his neck were bulging, and he screamed in a low voice.
Li Shimin's abnormality with Dou Hongxian just now has attracted the attention of Chen Kefu, who has been paying attention to them. At this time, seeing that Li Shimin seemed to be arguing with Li Yuan below, Chen Kefu couldn't help but be a little puzzled. The letter of the eldest grandson Shunde clearly stated that the plan of Li Yuan's father and son was a plan to join forces with Li Mi and Wei Dao'er. Moreover, although Li Shimin had contacted Wei and Yan earlier, he later informed Li Tang and his ministers after discussing it with Li Yuan.
this plan. Li Yuan is obviously a mastermind, but why are Li Yuan and Li Shimin arguing again? Moreover, he just found out that Li Shimin seemed to be looking for something just now, what was he looking for?
I saw that everything was going according to what I had mastered. This sudden change made him a little puzzled. Sitting on the top, his right hand stroking the short hair that was not long under his chin, Chen Kefu was full of questions.
The banquet was still going on, and the maids in the hall were going on and on.
Although they didn't take a few bites of the wine and food, the maids had already begun to remove the dishes from the table and start the second round of wine and food.
Braised puffer fish, steamed osmanthus fish, roast duck with lychee, soft-shelled turtle soup, stir-fried deer breast, stewed bear's paw. New dishes are placed on several tables. But Chen Kefu didn't bother to take a look, and now he was full of Li Shimin.
"Does Your Highness think that Li Shimin seems to have lost something?" A crisp and pleasant voice sounded in my ears.
Chen Kefu was stunned when he heard this, turned his head to look, but saw that after the maid who had just served the food had set up the dishes, she did not leave, but stood on his side. And the sentence just now is exactly what she said.
Look closely. This maid is as unique and beautiful as the maid next to Li Shimin, fresh and refined. This beautiful countenance. It made him think about it immediately. Li Shimin fell down before, wasn't it this maid who helped Li Shimin pick up crutches?
Although a beautiful woman is easy to attract attention, it does not necessarily attract Chen Kefu's attention. But if a beautiful woman. If you can say what is on his mind at this time, it will immediately attract his attention.
"Who are you?" Chen Kefu looked at this woman with some vigilance, he was already sure in his heart that this was by no means a maid. Even if there is such a beautiful maid in this small place of Mengjin, there will never be such a Lianming, who can guess what he thinks at a glance. And the maid who dared to take the initiative to stand here and talk to herself so boldly. Although I couldn't judge her way for a while. But Chen Kefu had already instinctively become vigilant. …,
A delicate woman, sometimes a deadly killer. The battlefield has been fighting for many years. He has seen more enemies of all kinds, and he will not get carried away like those reckless men who have never seen the world.
"Your Highness didn't see the guards take me down right away, which shows that Your Highness is so courageous." The maid smiled.
Chen Kefu smiled slightly, and had already guessed the identity of this woman. After Chen Kefu became self-reliant, many people in the Liaodong Army called him His Royal Highness. At that time, although he was the king of Beichen County rewarded by the imperial court, in fact, this highness was not the title brought by the status of the county king.
The person who is called His Royal Highness refers specifically to the crown prince or prince. Only the crown prince and the prince are qualified to be called His Highness, and other people, even if they are also princes, cannot be called His Highness. At that time, the court named him the king of Beichen County, no matter how you say it, you can't call him His Royal Highness. The real reason why his subordinates called him His Royal Highness was that Mao Xi and other old subordinates of Nanchen called him as the prince of Nanchen.
Later, other generals in the army also called it this way to show their closeness. But later, Chen Pojun sent troops south to Huaibei to support Jiangdu, and he had already torn his face with Nan Chen. In the middle of the army, except for Mao Xi and other old family members from Chenjiazhuang, others rarely call him that way anymore, and now everyone calls him King Chen instead of His Royal Highness.
But now, when this maid came out, it was His Royal Highness. This has revealed some information, not enough, but enough.
"I heard a few days ago that my uncle's cousin had arrived in Ha Duong, and then I heard that another girl had come from the south to meet her. Although time is in a hurry, my subordinates have not yet found out the identity of this girl, but if my guess is correct, I guess you are the one who came from the south to join my cousin, right? Chen Kefu looked at her with a smile.
The smile on the maid's face paused for a moment before returning to normal.
"It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that His Royal Highness has a secret service under his command, and his ears and eyes are all over the world, and he is everywhere. In the past, the little woman didn't believe it, but today she really believes it. ”
The maid did not admit Chen Kefu's speculation positively, but it was equivalent to admitting Chen Kefu's speculation.
Chen Kefu's eyes became a little sharper, and he looked at the maid again.
Although the Secret Service has not confirmed the identity of the woman who came from the south to join her cousin Shen Luoyan, there is no doubt that she is from Nanchen. He knew that Shen Luoyan, the cousin of his uncle's family, seemed to be in secret contact with Wang Shichong recently, and he also remembered that Shen Luoyan used to be Li Mi's military advisor and accompanied Li Mi to Wagang Mountain. Although they met at that time, they did not know the true identity of each other.
Li Mi's alliance with Wang Shichong was what he feared the most, and he sent many secret agents to investigate Shen Luoyan and try to capture her. But Shen Luoyan is very cautious, and the brothers of the secret service department have made several shots, but they have all failed. And the latest information about Shen Luoyan from the Secret Service Department is that she has joined a mysterious woman from the south.
"Are you also the cousin of the Shen family, or are you from other families in Jiangnan? The Lu family, the Wang family, the Xie family? Or is it the Zhu family and the Zhang family? Chen Kefu looked at her with some curiosity, he had not been in contact with Jiangnan for a long time. I can't think of any plans for this woman who suddenly appeared in front of her.
Chen Kefu guessed that eight or nine were not far from ten, and the woman standing in front of him was indeed the woman who met Shen Luoyan, that is, the Lingnan saintess Feng Wan. Although the nineteen counties of Lingnan also nominally belonged to the Jiangnan Chen Dynasty, the Jiangnan Chen Dynasty was originally controlled by various clans, but in fact they were still independent. It is formed by the Shen, Lu, and Wang families, as well as the large and small congregation clans.
Lingnan, on the other hand, was just a matter of listening to the tune and not listening to the announcement, nominally submitting to the separatist forces of the Chen Dynasty. Lingnan faced the pressure of the army of Xiao Yu, the uncle of Yang Xuan of Jianghan, but Chen Chao did not save him when he saw death, but retreated his troops and horses to the east. Feng Ang had no choice but to think of sending his daughter north to try to find an ally to help them resolve the crisis. …,
Feng Wan, who went north, has her own plans. She didn't want to find Wang Shichong or Li Mi's alliance, but directly wanted to find Chen Kefu's alliance. Moreover, standing in front of Chen Kefu at this time, she felt that she also had this opportunity.
Looking at this tyrant who had long been in the world, Feng Wan became more and more sure of his idea of forming an alliance with him. Although he was so young, his youth was a little surprising, and he was a little different from the legendary and famous Iron Cavalry Commander.
In front of Chen Kefu, she gently stretched out her right hand, and in front of him, the five green jade fingers were unfolded one by one, and finally, the ring that shone with purple light inside was revealed.
"This is what Li Shimin was looking for just now." Feng Wan lightly opened her lips and said slowly.
Looking at the delicate and beautiful gemstone ring, Chen Pojun said with some doubts, "It's just a ring, although this purple gem looks good." But Li Shimin is the most powerful Li valve in the world, and you also saw it just now, a cane is inlaid with gold and jade. A gemstone ring is nothing more than a drop in the bucket for him. I don't believe that Li Shimin will suddenly lose his luster because he lost a gemstone ring, and he searched around. ”
Although the eldest grandson Shunde wrote a letter to tell Chen Kefu and Li Yuan's father and son that they were going to toast and drink poison at the banquet, he did not write such trivial things as hiding poison with a hollow ring.
Feng Wan smiled slightly, walked up two steps, lifted the wine jug on the table and poured two glasses of wine for Chen Kefu, and then saw the fingers of her right hand shake lightly a few times. Immediately, in front of Chen Kefu, a few wisps of purple mist spilled from the purple gemstone ring into the two wine glasses in front of Chen Kefu.
All this, if she hadn't done it in person, it would be difficult for ordinary people to notice it at all. Chen Kefu looked at the wine as soon as he entered it, and he had already dissolved into it, and he couldn't see the slightest strange poisonous wine at all, and his face couldn't help but sink like water.
He finally understood that this was the prop that Li Shimin was preparing to poison. If it weren't for his secret report from the eldest grandson Shunde, I am afraid that it would be difficult for him to prevent this move.
