Chapter 54: The Night of Candles 4

Looking at Lin Ruo's confident appearance, Murong Chong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows with interest: "Listening to your tone, it seems that there is no thousand machine locks that you can't unlock?" ”

Lin Ruo raised his head proudly: "At present, there really isn't." Moreover, the only defeat of Pei Yikong's predecessors, who is known as 'clever and empty', was the defeat of my 'Thousand Machine Lock'. Master Pei swore that he would be able to unravel it in just three hours, but it took seven days and seven nights to complete. Only me, Xiao Qi, Bo Yu, Master Pei and Master Mo know about this matter. However, without drawings, it took seven days to unravel, and it was extremely difficult. Master Pei's title of 'the first thief in the rivers and lakes' is not in vain. ”

Fourteen jigsaw puzzles, that's more than 10 billion variations! It is admittedly not easy to unravel with seven days and seven nights, but Lin Ruo, who used this ever-changing design to design a "thousand machine locks", is even more admirable!

Murong Chong felt that his cognition of Lin Ruo had been refreshed again.

"The prince is talented and intelligent, and he may be able to unlock my 'Thousand Machine Lock', but even if he unlocks it, he may not be able to read the news inside."

"Why is that?"

"But all the news that is going to reach my hands is written in the secret language of the Lin family, and others can't understand it at all."

Murong Chong let out a long breath: "No wonder you can run the Lin family for so many years without outsiders knowing. So you are not afraid to tell me this, because even if I reveal it, you will be able to solve it. ”

Lin Ruo shook his head: "Lord Wang, you guessed this wrong. In a few years, maybe I wouldn't mind letting people know that I was the one behind the Lin family, but I can't do it now. Therefore, I put my greatest handle in your hands to show you my sincerity. ”

Murong Chong looked at Lin Ruo's clear gaze without evasion, he boasted that his gaze was like a torch, and he had insight into people's hearts, few people could have the courage to look directly into his eyes, but when it came to Lin Ruo's eyes, he was a little bottomless in his heart.

smiled lightly and said playfully: "Lord Wang, now, we can talk about business?" ”

Murong Chong was stunned for a moment, looked at the three things that Lin Ruo had placed on the table, and then came back to his senses: It turned out that what Fang just talked about was not a serious matter!

He couldn't help but wonder what her so-called "business" was.

Lin Ruo put the "Thousand Machine Lock" aside, spread it out with his bare hands, pointed to the envelope, wooden box and scroll on the table, and said: "These are my three chips, which represent my sincerity, in exchange for the prince's three promises." ”

Murong Chong didn't speak, but simply motioned for her to continue.

Lin Ruo smiled lightly, opened the envelope that was not sealed with glue, took out the two pieces of paper inside, and slowly unfolded them.

Murong Chong's eyes jumped, the heads of these two pieces of paper were written "Leave the Book" and "The Book of Resignation" respectively, and there was a large blank space in the middle, and the name of "Lin Ruo" had been signed at the end.

Although Murong Chong had already understood and was somewhat accustomed to Lin Ruo's straightforwardness, such a straightforward approach was still beyond his expectations.

"This is my first bargaining chip, I have signed it, the prince fills in the content, you can divorce your wife or divorce on this basis, I will not entangle."

Murong Chong took the two pieces of paper in his hand, looked back and forth, folded the paper back according to the creases, put it back in the envelope, put it in front of him, nodded to indicate that he accepted the first bargaining chip, and asked, "What promise do you want?" ”

"If the prince meets someone he likes one day, he can draw a line with me with this, but in the same way, if one day, I want to leave, please don't stop the prince."

"That's all?"

Lin Ruo smiled slyly: "Lord Wang, I have hidden a requirement in this condition. ”

Murong Chong frowned slightly, thought for a while, and suddenly said, "You mean, as long as I marry one more woman in the palace, you will leave?" ”

"The prince is really smart." Lin Ruo hooked the corners of his mouth with satisfaction, "Although I'm not afraid that someone will secretly do something, and I am confident that these small tricks will not get into my eyes, but it is too much time to be distracted to deal with these trivial matters and people who are looking for trouble." The prince grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he should be no stranger to these intrigues. The prince invited himself to join the army, in addition to wanting to fulfill Ling Zun's grand wishes, I'm afraid this is also a reason, right? ”

Murong Chong's eyes darkened, and what he wanted to say to others was broken by someone who had never said anything.

Seeing that Murong was silent, Lin Ruo half-jokingly added: "Good jealousy is the rule of the seven, and it is reasonable for the prince to divorce me at that time." ”

Murong Chong was stunned for a moment, although he knew that she was joking, but the words had already been said to this point, and if he refused, he would be stingy. Then he agreed: "I agree to this condition." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang."

Although Lin Ruo thanked her, from her eyes, Murong Chong felt as if she had already decided that she would agree. is also, a smart woman who is young but has become the richest man in Bian'an, with clear eyes that can directly look into his inner thoughts, and he has not yet seen through everything, everything seems to be under her control.

"Won't you ask me for a voucher?"

Lin Ruo smiled playfully: "No need, the prince has a promise, I can trust it." Moreover, with the prince's affection, he should only wait until the person he really wants to meet will try his best to give her a grand wedding that Ming Media is marrying. As for the rest, the prince should also be afraid of trouble. ”

Murong Chong felt inexplicably sour, as if the wound that had already scabbed had been torn open again, and blood was dripping with blood. A familiar face comes to mind, don't look over it, hide the emotions in your eyes.

Lin Ruo sighed in her heart, how could she not understand the pain that could not be hidden?

The two were silent for a long time, Murong Chong came to his senses and pointed to the wooden box in front of Lin Ruo: "What is in this wooden box?" ”

Lin Ruo's face regained his calm, and he said in the same tone as usual: "This is the answer to the question that the prince raised when he first came in. ”

Murong Chong frowned and thought, "You really brought food from the Lin Mansion?" ”

Lin Ruo didn't answer, opened the lid of the box, the box was divided into five compartments, the largest compartment was placed in the dough sheet, the lower three small compartments were placed in turn in order to put beef foam, diced vegetables and seasoning powder, and in the long compartment on the right, there was a wooden spoon and a pair of wooden chopsticks.

Murong Chong had a suspicious fox in his eyes, which was different from what he thought. He watched Lin Ruo skillfully take a bowl, put four compartments of things into it in turn, and poured hot water, the familiar fragrance began to diffuse, but Lin Ruo took a plate and buckled it directly on top of the big bowl, stopping the taste that aroused his appetite.

"It's ......"

"The prince patiently waited for the time of a stick of incense, and then he knew the result."

Murong Chong nodded: "Then you might as well talk about the second promise you want first." ”

Lin Ruo smiled mysteriously: "Lord Wang, this second condition is a bit difficult to handle, but compared to the things in my wooden box, it is extremely cost-effective." ”

"Oh? Let's hear it. ”

Lin Ruo met Murong Chong's gaze and said, "I want to find out the cause of my sister's death." ”

"Lord Minrou?"

"Yes."

"What's strange about her death?"

"Yes, but I'm just skeptical, there's no evidence."

Murong Chong frowned: "Something to do with the people in the palace?" ”
