Chapter Eighty-Nine
Mu Xici gritted his teeth and suppressed it with all his strength, so as not to let his tears flow out. But the slightly trembling body had already exposed the emotions he had suppressed.
"Master!" He Xun was about to step forward to comfort him, but found that he opened his mouth, but he couldn't even say anything comforting.
He'd never seen him like this.
In his impression, the master has always been a person who strategizes and talks about everything with a smile. Now, it is like a lonely geese......
Sorrow, wailing......
After a long time, Mu Xici calmed down the emotions in his heart a little, and finally glanced at the red fragments scattered on the ground, held the jade pendant with a crested pattern, and walked out with a heavy face.
From beginning to end, he didn't dare to look at "her" again.
In his memory, she had been smiling quietly and gently, how could she lie in front of him so unrecognizable?
He was like an empty shell that had lost his soul, and it wasn't until he went downstairs and was stopped by Bai Yi, who rushed to hear the news, that he came back to his senses.
"The Third Prince of Xiwu?" Bai Yi hurried over with Song Qi.
Mu Xici turned around and saw Bai Yi with a white cloth wrapped around his neck, and couldn't help but clench the jade pendant in his hand, gritting his teeth.
"Lord Bai Yi, should you tell me what's going on?"
"Last night, there were thieves in and out of this inn, and a fire broke out accidentally, causing ...... This is the fault of the next! Bai Yi lowered his head.
"Thieves coming in and out? Accidentally caught in a fire? Mu Xici tried his best to restrain his anger, "How the hell did you escort?" Are all the officials of Yun Qiguo so sloppy? ”
"This is the minister's poor escort, please calm the anger of the third prince!" Bai Yi hurriedly said.
"Anger? Hehe, Lord Bai Yi's words are very funny. Mu Xici smiled contemptuously, "If the person you are going to marry encounters an accident on the way, will you still say such things at that time?"
Besides, she is not only the Princess Zhaoyun of your Yunqi, but also the Princess Mingjing of Xiwu! Harmony is a major matter concerning our two countries, and if you are so rash, then the peace agreement between our two countries might as well be stopped! ”
When Bai Yi heard this, he secretly exclaimed that something was wrong. Only then did he hurriedly step forward to stop Mu Xici, who was about to stride away.
"This matter is that my escort is not effective, I have repaired a book, and ordered someone to send it back to the capital as soon as possible. Please also ask the three princes of Xiwu to be calm and not impatient, we Yun Qiding will give Xiwu an explanation! ”
Mu Xici looked at him coldly: "Okay, then I'll see how Yun Qi explained to me!" But if I want to wait for you to explain, you must agree to my two requests! ”
"What a request, the third prince, please speak!"
"One, you want to thoroughly investigate who is responsible for this fire? The culprit must be seized and handed over to me. Second, I want to take Princess Zhaoyun's bones away! Mu Xi stared at him intently.
"Needless to say, this first request will also be thoroughly investigated. But the second request, I'm afraid it ......" Bai Yi suddenly looked embarrassed.
The ship where Zhaoyun was.
"Girl, you can't just talk nonsense about framing us!" A woman who was making a fuss just now threw away the melon seeds in her hand and said unreasonably, "It's like we didn't do anything!" ”
"Yes, you can go over there and see for yourself, didn't we do so many things?" The other woman also stuck her waist and said viciously.
Zhaoyun smiled, and when he went over there to open the lid of the pot, he saw a few bowls of steaming tamales, roast goose, sauce elbow and other meat dishes inside.
"Take a closer look for yourself, we're all ready to rest here for a while!"
"I'm afraid these are all for the official master!" Zhao Yunpi said with a smile.
The women who were stealing and playing tricks immediately bowed their heads in a bit of a loss.
"You little girl is really funny when she talks." The dark and thin woman from before immediately changed her face, "Although you are a person sent by Lord Wang, you may not know that since we were invited by Lord Wang to spend silver and silver, we will always give priority to a few adults when we make food. ”
"What Mrs. Cao said is right!" A woman replied, "The soldiers below are subordinates, and it is enough to prepare white porridge and pickles for them!" ”
Human? If it weren't for these "subordinates" in their mouths, what would they do to resist the flowing bandits? Zhaoyun sneered.
"They are subordinates, so who are you?" Zhaoyun stepped forward and asked rhetorically.
Seeing that the women were silent, Zhaoyun sneered, "Since they are not the masters, how can they come from to say that the subordinates are here?" ”
"Those soldiers are in the prime of life, how can porridge and pickles fill their stomachs? If you don't have enough to eat, you naturally don't have strength. What if we meet a bad guy on the way? ”
Seeing that they were silent, Zhaoyun picked up the big iron spoon again, scooped a scoop of porridge from it, and spilled it from mid-air.
"See for yourselves, this porridge is really worthy of gruel, and the rice in it is pitiful."
"Gruel is naturally thin, is it the same as boiling rice, and boiling a big pot of rice?" The thin black woman looked up and quibbled.
"Before I got on the ship, I had heard that there were bandits in the West Sea. They robbed the shippers and sometimes killed and sold the goods. Zhaoyun didn't answer her words, and threw the iron spoon into the pot, "The words have been said for this part, you can decide for yourself!" ”
"It depends on whether you think it is more important to be greedy for money in your pocket, or if it is more important to have a small life!" A cold voice echoed in the ears of several people.
A few of them just wanted to take this opportunity to be greedy for some money. How could he have expected to hear such news from Zhaoyun's mouth?
Seeing that their faces suddenly turned blue and red, Zhaoyun picked up a green onion on the boiling table and played with it.
"You must be bluffing us!" The woman, who was a little rich, stepped forward and glared and said, "We have never heard of bandits in the West Sea before, how did you know that?" ”
"Yes, we never heard of it before, you must be lying to us!"
Looking at their unbelieving looks, Zhaoyun shrugged helplessly.
"I've got it done, believe it or not! But as the old saying goes, it's better to believe what you have than what you don't. Life is not child's play, just don't regret it yourself! ”
These words, along with a thunderclap from outside the cabin, exploded in everyone's ears with a "boom".
Enough to deaf feedback.
