Chapter 57: The Messenger
As I watched him drift away, my legs and feet followed me without being called.
How could he be in Shangqing Palace? I'm not going to do anything bad again!
I followed him closely to see what he was up to.
He walked for a while, then stopped at the entrance of Xia Ning's courtyard and stood there, as if waiting for someone.
I crouched down beside the stone pier not far from him, and watched him carefully, just enough to keep me out.
After a while, he saw a man walking towards him, was this the person he was waiting for?
The man gradually approached, and when he looked closely, he ...... Isn't it a wind story?!
Could it be that this palace man is waiting for the wind to tell? How could it be him?
Feng Shu stopped in front of him and gave him a letter, and the palace man gave Feng Shu another letter, and then Feng Shu gave him a purse, and the palace man checked the purse and said with a smile: "Lord Xie! ”
Feng Shu said, "Be careful! ”
The people of the palace saluted, and the two of them went their separate ways.
Odd! Isn't that palace man Liu Tianquan's person? How to follow the trend......
I continued to follow him, only to see him out of Shangqing Palace and walk in the direction of the palace gate.
I followed him closely, and he seemed to notice someone following him, turned a corner, and disappeared.
I ran a few steps forward, but I still couldn't see him. Damn, he actually ran away!
Just as I turned to leave, I suddenly found him standing behind me!
I was startled, my heart rose to my throat, and I quickly took a few steps back, and asked tremblingly, "You...... What are you doing? I want to scare people! ”
He stared at me with a blank face and asked, "Why are you following me?" ”
I raised my voice and said, "What are you doing sneakily in our Shangqing Palace?" You talk to the wind...... I saw it all! What do you want? Do you want to harm His Highness? ”
The man listened, smiled, and then wanted to leave.
I stopped him and said, "Hand over the stuff!" ”
"What's that?"
"Faith! I saw it all! ”
He suddenly took a few steps towards me, and I quickly backed away.
He said: "Anyway, there is no one here, so you are not afraid of ......"
He ran his finger at his neck, and then said, "Whoever is interested, pretend that he has not seen anything!" "Then it's time to go.
He's right, there's no one here, and even if he takes me out, no one will know.
But...... I stopped him anyway!
"Your Highness is my brother, even if I fight for my life, I must protect him! You must hand over the letter today! ”
He ignored me and wanted to leave, but I tugged at his sleeve and wouldn't let him go.
He made a hideous look and stared at me fiercely, and I was so frightened that I quickly let go of him, took a few steps back, and he was gone.
But just after walking a few steps, I pulled my sleeves again, "I have to ...... Put the letter ...... ...... Hand it over! ”
After a long while, he turned around, and I looked at him carefully, but he said helplessly: "I am doing things for His Highness!" You dragged it like this, missed the hour, can you afford it?! ”
"You...... You are talking nonsense! You are obviously the person who tilts the power of Liu, how can you be doing things for His Highness! ”
"Who told you that I was one of Liu Qianquan's people?"
"When I was hunting outside the palace, that night, you bumped into me and dropped a letter, and then you were taken to His Highness by Fengshu for questioning, you said, you are sending a letter to Liu Tianquan! You...... Don't remember?! ”
The man laughed and said, "Huh! Who am I doing for, you can ask Your Highness! And also! Don't follow me anymore! ”
With that, he left.
He said that he was doing things for His Royal Highness, and the Highness he was talking about was Xia Ning or the prince's brother?
But that night, he was obviously sending a letter to Liu Tianquan, why is it now doing things for His Royal Highness?
Could it be that he is fooling me?
But it's not right to think about it! If he is really a person who leans power, how can he follow the trend...... Feng Shu is a person from the Xia Kingdom!
No way! I need to tell Xia Ning about this!
I ran back to Shangqing Palace and came to Xia Ning's courtyard, only to find that the palace man was standing beside Xia Ning, whispering something to him.
After they saw me, Xia Ning let the people of the palace leave.
I walked over and asked, confused, "What's going on?" ”
Xia Ning didn't speak, I felt that something was wrong, and asked again: "That palace person just now, is it your person?" ”
Xia Ning still didn't speak, and I then asked, "So...... Everything that happened on the night of the hunt was a play by you? ”
Xia Ning looked at me, still didn't speak. I'm almost sure it's a play he's playing!
"Did you let him hit me on purpose? And then say that he sent a letter to Liu Tianquan, but in fact he is your person? ”
I almost cried and asked, "Why are you doing this?" ”
At this time, Xia Ning stood up and said, "You listen to my explanation......"
"Why the hell are you doing this? I trust you so much, why are you lying to me? ”
Suddenly, the world was dark, and the people I thought I would be able to stay with for the rest of my life were actually lying to me!
I can't accept this fact!
Xia Ning's gaze was calm, as if he was ready to be questioned by me.
"Onkyo, do you believe me?"
"Huh! Believe? How can I trust you? You can lie to me today, and maybe you can sell me tomorrow! Is there anything else I don't know? I'm so stupid! What am I, a plaything? Playing with others? I'm getting worse and worse to see you! Yes, you are a complete stranger to me! I don't know your temperament, your preferences, and what you have done in Xia Kingdom, and what kind of person you are, I don't know! I originally thought that in this world, except for the master, the only thing I could trust was you, but I never thought that even you would lie to me, and I would trust you so much! I was wrong! ”
With that, I turned and left.
Xia Ning suddenly grabbed me and said, "Anqiao, you listen to my explanation!" I'm not doing this to lie to you! ”
I shook off his hand, "But you're lying to me by doing this!" ”
"Although all this is intentional on my part, it is indeed true that Liu poured his power to buy iron ore privately! I did this just to tell you that Liu Tianquan was privately buying iron ore to cast weapons! ”
"If that's the case, why don't you just tell me! Do you have to act in such a scene? ”
Xia Ning paused and said, "If I tell you directly that Hua Muning also bought iron ore privately before his death, would you believe it?" ”
"What?"
I was stunned, I couldn't believe what I had just heard, "What did you say?" ”
"Hua Muning privately bought the iron ore of Xia Kingdom before his death! He's also forging weapons privately! ”
"Impossible! You must be lying to me again! ”
Xia Ning looked at me and didn't speak.
