Not only the envoys of Dasheng, but also the various tribes who came to witness the new king's accession to the throne silently paid attention to the assassination of Mu Nai, and they had some discussions, and all kinds of rumors spread in just a few days.

In this Qingnan Plateau, the strong are respected, the new king Mu Nai was assassinated, and was seriously injured, there is no doubt that this is a manifestation of his lack of ability, on the battlefield is more caught off guard by cold knives and cold guns, if there is no strong strength, how to lead the country of Pu to stand on this plateau.

Unconsciously, a rumor arose among the patriarchs of these tribes, saying that Mu Nai took medicine during the competition to win the eldest prince Chi Deru.

Rumors also reached Chi Deru's ears through someone.

"What you say is true?!"

In a splendid golden hall, Chi Deru sat on a high-backed chair, his right thigh was still wrapped in layers of bandages, and his whole person was slightly haggard.

At this moment, he was looking at the blue-clothed young man sitting not far away with a shocked expression, his pupils shrunk, and the corners of his forehead were erect.

"There is no lie." Mu Jinfan looked at Chi Deru and nodded slightly, the expression on the young and clear face was cold, and there was a kind of casual and light breeze in his gestures.

Chidesong gritted his teeth, and in his deep sockets, two angry flames ignited in those brown eyes, and his fists clenched tightly together.

Many images flashed through his mind like a marquee, and he remembered the scene of the monarch selection ceremony......

He also felt strange at the time, obviously at the beginning, Mu Nai was beaten by himself and had no power to fight back, but in the middle of the field, Mu Nai suddenly became like a divine help, and became infinitely powerful, so that his blade came out of his hand, which gave him a chance to take advantage of!

No wonder, no wonder I lost to him!

"Boom!"

Chi Deru hammered the square table on the side with a fist, causing the melon and fruit refreshments on the square table to shake slightly, and a tender yellow drunken pear was shocked to fall from the fruit pot and roll out on the floor "bonely".

The slave girls serving in the house were all silent, bowing their heads slightly, not daring to make a sound.

"Okay, you Munai!" Chi Deru read almost word for word, his heart seemed to be burning with a few flames, and the wound on his leg was even more heart-rending and painful.

Mu Nai's knife almost pierced his thigh, fortunately it didn't hurt the blood in his leg, but a hundred days of injury to his muscles and bones was enough to make him uncomfortable for a while, and it was enough to make him lose face again at Mu Nai's enthronement ceremony!

The poison of Mu Nai's mind can be seen!

The more Chi Deru thought about it, the more angry he became, and he hammered the fist of "Dong" on the square table again, and his eyes were bloodshot with anger, as hideous as a spider's web.

Suddenly, Chi Deru's sharp eyes like an enraged tiger looked at Mu Jinfan, his eyes were like arrows and knives, his voice was so cold that he was about to fall out of the ice slag, and asked in Dasheng: "Why are you telling me this?" ”

He looked at Mu Jinfan without blinking, his sharp gaze as if he wanted to penetrate him.

Mu Jinfan smiled indifferently and arched his hand casually, "My Dasheng and Pu Guo are the country of in-laws, and such an unfair thing is really indespicable." ”

Mu Jinfan smiled slightly, but his expression was detached, Chi Deru was not a fool, of course he didn't believe it.

Mu Jinfan didn't care whether Chi De believed it or not, and continued calmly: "We have come thousands of miles from thousands of miles on the order of my Dasheng Son of Heaven, hoping to get along with your country forever, so that the two countries will live in peace from now on, and there will be no more war at the border. Whether it is for your country or for my great prosperity, it is a good and harmless thing! ”

"For thousands of years in my Central Plains, I have always inherited this supreme throne with my eldest son, so it is orthodox."

"The eldest prince, as a concubine, was harmed by a concubine with such a conspiracy, which is really chaotic! How can you be the monarch of your country if your brother is of inferior character! ”

Mu Jinfan said a lot of high-sounding words, and as he spoke, he evoked a meaningful smile, and his tone was even more relaxed, "What's more, the new king of your country will also be our Dasheng's 'county horse master'." ”

Mu Jinfan deliberately increased the volume on the three words "Jun Ma Ye".

Chi Deru just listened casually at first, with a contemptuous expression, until Mu Jinfan's last sentence, he was slightly moved, and his body, which was originally lazily leaning on his high back, also sat up straight, and a certain thought appeared in his heart.

Could it be that Queen Xu Jingsi has taken a fancy to herself? !

That's why she let these Dasheng envoys come to help her?

Thinking of this possibility, Chi Deru's eyes widened, and his heart was surging, and he said to himself in his heart: Also, everyone knows which is stronger or weaker between himself and Mu Nai, and the queen also knows it.

He is more noble than Mu Nai, stronger and more heroic than Mu Nai, how can the queen look down on Mu Nai, a rat who hides in the gutter and sees no people!

Chi Deru felt a lot more relieved as if he had taken a reassuring pill, but on the surface, he still didn't say anything, making a noncommittal look.

Not only is Chi Deru paying attention to Mu Jinfan, but Mu Jinfan is also paying attention to every expression of Chi Deru, he is a smart person, so he naturally saw through Chi Deru at a glance, and said: "Eldest Prince, do you know that there are rumors in the capital now, saying that you are unwilling to be defeated by the second prince and unwilling to lose the throne, so you sent someone to assassinate the second prince in the temple to seize the throne?" ”

What the?! Chi Deru was so angry that his heart rushed to his head, and he instinctively wanted to stand up, but he touched the wound, and a piercing pain came from his right thigh, and he sat back down.

Chi Deru was so angry that his chest rose and fell violently, a thick haze appeared in his eyes, and he snorted coldly and said, "If I did it, of course I admit it." I didn't do it, and don't try to rely on me. He was colder than every word, as cold as the cold wind of the wax moon, and the air around him suddenly became cold.

In contrast, Mu Jinfan was still as cold as a bamboo, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and he said, "Prince, you are still too naïve." ”

"Even if I hadn't come here, wouldn't the eldest prince be suspicious about the competition that day?"

"You are backed by the Gansong tribe, the Gansong tribe is the largest clan in Pu country, if you are not satisfied with the results of the day's competition, then the Gansong tribe is your most powerful backing. For the second prince, your presence will always be a thorn in his flesh and a thorn in his eye! I'm afraid he's going to get rid of you soon! ”

"We have a saying in Dasheng, cutting grass does not remove roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows. If you are the second prince, will you cut the grass and eradicate the roots to prevent future troubles? ”

Chi Deru's eyes became darker and darker, and they became more and more dark.

If he was Munai......

In order to prevent future troubles, he should have completely suppressed the Gansong tribe and himself before the Gansong tribe rebelled, and there was no place to turn over.

It's a pity that he has never taken Mu Nai, the son of a humble slave girl, in his eyes, he thought that the person who ascended the throne must be himself, so he would be bitten by Mu Nai, a poisonous snake!

Mou, Nai.

Chi Deru thought hatefully in his heart, and suddenly a flash of inspiration, his eyes were almost glared at the extreme, and a certain thought appeared in his heart: Could it be ...... This so-called assassination is actually Mu Nai's bitter ploy, intending to point the finger at himself! Blame yourself for killing a king, and let yourself be speechless?! Let him take it for granted that he will kill himself later?!

Yes! It must be so.

Chi Deru instantly felt the truth about herself. Otherwise, why didn't the assassin kill Mu Nai, he could have killed with one blow, but he didn't hit the vital point with one sword, and he could also make up for it, at that time, Mu Nai was the only one in the temple, and he was seriously injured and had no strength to dodge the second knife at all!

Chi Deru's face was suspicious, angry, shocked, hateful, unpredictable.

The corners of Mu Jinfan's mouth hooked an arc that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and he sighed deliberately, and continued quietly: "As a friend, I really don't want to see your country in turmoil. ”

Cride didn't speak, the thick lips between his beards shook violently, and his brown eyes became violent and deep little by little, raging like a tornado, as if to destroy the world.

"Stomp, stomp!"

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside, and the door of the house was pushed open, and a gust of wind poured into the room......

Chi Deru frowned, a look of displeasure on his face.

A middle-aged man with a mustache walked in quickly, bowed to Chi Deru, and said in Pu language: "The eldest prince, the second prince has a life, let people search the Tianyi Pavilion, saying that they want to search the assassins." ”

Tianyi Pavilion has always been a temporary residence place for the Gansong people when they came to the capital, and of course Chi Deru knew it.

"How can it be!" Chide Ruden was furious and slapped the case again, "Mu Nai is simply too deceitful!" ”

Mu Nai is ostensibly searching Tianyi Pavilion, and he is clearly pointing a sword at himself, wanting to make the whole country suspect him!

Mu Jinfan was silent on the side, sitting there calmly, holding a tea bowl in both hands, and drinking slowly, as if he couldn't hear what the two were saying at all.

The water in Pu is even more mixed......

On July 8, the new king Mu Nai sent troops to search the Tianyi Pavilion where the Gansong tribe lived, but was resisted by the Gansong tribe, and the eldest prince Chi Deru also sent troops to stop it, and asked the queen Xu Jingsi to call the shots-

"Queen, Mu Nai has not yet ascended the throne, as long as he does not have the enthronement ceremony for a day, he is not the new king of Pu State, and he has no right to mobilize 'private soldiers' to break into the Gansong clan post house!"

Queen Xu Jingsi agreed with Chi Deru, saying that the ten clans of Pu are one family, and ordered that the patriarchs of the various tribes should not be rude.

Now that the new king has not yet ascended the throne, according to the rules of the kingdom of Pu, except for military and political affairs, the queen has the right to be the master of all other matters, and as soon as this statement came out, the courtiers and other patriarchs of various clans also echoed it.

On July 9, the eldest prince Chi Deru openly summoned the patriarchs of the nine clans except the Fu clan, saying that he would never recognize the succession of the throne this time when the second prince Mu Nai was cheating. On the same day, the Gansong, Jiluo, and Keba tribes seconded the proposal, and another five tribes expressed wait-and-see, but only the Chengba tribe stood on the side of the second prince Mu Nai.

On July 10, the envoy of Dasheng, in the capacity of the queen's mother, proposed to ask the two princes to re-compete to choose a new king.

On July 11, Cen Yin and his entourage finally returned to the capital from the Ningjiang Palace.

Cen Yin, who had been on the road for a few days, returned to Zhongshao Street first, his arrival was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, the entire East Factory was shaken, and for nearly an hour, the people of the East Factory and the Master of Ceremonies came here in an endless stream to visit Cen Yin, and told the recent trivial matters in the court and Beijing.

From time to time, there was the sound of galloping horses' hooves on Zhongshao Street, and the pedestrians and people all avoided it, thinking that the east factory was going to raid the house again.

Waiting for Cen Yin to bathe and change clothes, he changed his clothes, and when he rode a horse from Zhongshao Street to Quanyu Street, the sun was already setting in the west, and the entire capital was shrouded in the golden red light of the setting sun, and the air was still as hot as if it had been baked.

Along the way, the little scorpion dressed as a little maid was already covered with sweat, but Cen Yin felt clean, clean and refreshing.

"Knock knock!"

The little scorpion personally knocked on the corner door of Duanmu's house, and the corner door was opened by someone from the inside, revealing a middle-aged porter's smiling face, and said politely: "Dare to ask this little brother what advice he has?" ”

The porter walked behind the little scorpion as he spoke, but saw a young man in a blue brocade robe and a jade belt around his waist standing a few steps away.

The porter of the Duanmu family has naturally seen a lot of dignitaries, and at a glance, he knows that this young noble son is from an extraordinary background, could it be that he is a classmate of the eldest young master, or he has come to ask to see his old lady?

The porter was thinking about it, when he heard the little scorpion arch his hand and said, "Brother, our son wants to ask to see your eldest girl." ”

Girl?! The porter's jaw almost didn't drop, he heard him right, right?
