Chapter 326: First Strikes First
In fact, under Liu Qingyan's cold surface, there is also a hot heart. It's just that she won't show it easily. Even if she is as calm and doesn't say much, she can still do the best mockery.
However, Liu Qingyan's situation like this is really rare, but I am afraid that only Xuanyuan Yichen can see this situation. I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse for him.
At this moment, Xuanyuan Yichen could only smile helplessly when he heard it, but being said by Liu Qingyan made him temporarily put aside the idea that Liu Qingyan would "say goodbye without saying goodbye" to such a pessimistic and negative Liu Qingyan, and instead began to think about the incident of "Twenty Beauties" that had happened.
"You must know that I have never paid attention to these twenty beauties, let alone anything wrong with them. But the decree has already followed, and for a short time, they can only stay in the mansion. Xuanyuan Yichen said.
Then seeing that Liu Qingyan had not yet answered, he immediately spoke: "I think, although there is no shortage of so many rooms and silver taels for them to spend in the Xianwang Mansion, there are not so many idlers in the mansion. It's better to make them your subordinates. ”
People are meant to stay, and they must be driven out, and it cannot be today's business. In this way, having Liu Qingyan personally watching it can be regarded as the only way for Xuanyuan Yichen to show his innocence.
"Humph!" However, Liu Qingyan didn't seem to appreciate this feeling, and sneered, "It's enough for me to have Xiaoyue by my side." Are you trying to get so many people here to get my eyes in the way? ”
But as soon as the words came out, Liu Qingyan regretted it again. Knowing that the reason why Xuanyuan Yichen agreed to keep these people was to protect himself, but he was always saying these unreasonable and inexplicable words, which really became almost not himself.
She wanted to say that she didn't mean to say that, she wanted to say that she didn't really mean to say that. But in front of Xuanyuan Yichen, she couldn't say this kind of confession and apology. And in the same way, Xuanyuan Yichen also wanted to say that he didn't mean that, but in front of Liu Qingyan, he felt a sense of powerlessness, and he didn't want to say anything more.
One is angry, the other is weak-hearted, such two people, talking and talking, from the discord between you and me, to a silence with nothing to say, the room was suddenly very quiet, and the sound of the shallow breathing of the two people could be clearly heard.
Both of them seemed to think that they were at fault first, but they didn't know how to find a step for themselves and each other, so they suddenly froze here, and no one spoke.
Although both men are extremely intelligent people, there are no problems or difficulties that can stump them. However, it is not a problem that they can all solve well, as if now, both of them are like children who have done something wrong, but they look awkward and stubborn.
"Lord Wang...... Princess......! Xiao Yue didn't have Xuanyuan Yichen's permission, so she suddenly hurriedly broke in, but seeing that the atmosphere in the room was not quite right, so she had already stepped in with one foot, and one foot was hanging in the air, and she didn't know whether to go in or exit......
"Come in." Xuanyuan Yichen really wanted to thank Xiao Yue for appearing at this time! Because her appearance suddenly eased the atmosphere in the room a lot, "What's the matter?" ”
"The person who chased him out has finally returned, Lord Wang...... Do you want to ask? "There are dozens of people chasing them out, and it's been almost an hour since they went out.
But judging from Xiao Yue's current face, I'm afraid that she didn't bring back good news. But about the assassination of King Xian and Princess Xian in the mansion, whether it is good news or bad news, Xuanyuan Yichen has already raised 120,000 points of spirit to pay full attention.
Xuanyuan Yichen immediately stood up, but saw that Liu Qingyan was still lying on the bed at this moment, and he didn't seem to want to go over with him to check the situation at all, so he said softly: "Qingyan, you have a good rest first, I'll come when I go." ”
And now Liu Qingyan really doesn't want to move, because on the one hand, she is still a little uncomfortable when she just woke up, and on the other hand, she thinks that this matter should be handed over to Xuanyuan Yichen for the time being, anyway, there seems to be no time when she can help.
Xuanyuan Yichen left in a hurry alone, but he didn't worry about Liu Qingyan alone, so he still left Xiao Yue behind. When Xuanyuan Yichen arrived in the living room where the accident occurred, more than half of the dozens of people who chased him out came back one after another.
However, seeing the situation at this moment, as Xuanyuan Yichen had expected before, he did not bring back any useful news.
In fact, from the beginning of the chase out, I just saw Sun Bao being caught by a mysterious person with a whip and taken away. The light skills of the two of them are very high, so even the kung fu of so many guards in the palace is so clever that none of them have caught up.
But Sun Bao was also injured at that time, but under the observation of so many people, he didn't even find a trace of blood!
So many people returned in vain, and they didn't even know if the person who came to rescue Sun Bao was from the palace, or from the Six Princes' Mansion, or somewhere else.
However, there is still one thing that is certain, that is, there is indeed a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger in the Xianwang Mansion, and there are many masters of all kinds, and they are all very well hidden. So, it doesn't matter if it's the palace or the Six Princes' Mansion or something else, it's actually not too much.
Xuanyuan Yichen walked out of the living room with his head down, and just wanted to return to the idle court, he saw the housekeeper walking towards this side with a person. And this person turned out to be an acquaintance, and he was also an unwelcome guest.
"See the prince." This person came to the front and respectfully greeted Xuanyuan Yichen. It seemed polite, but he only felt the coldness behind his words and body. He hadn't seen each other for months, but he hadn't changed at all.
"Oh? Tall man, I haven't seen you for a long time, why do you have to do it? Xuanyuan Yichen said impatiently. Because there have been many bad things that happened in one day today, this has come and gone, and Xuanyuan Yichen doesn't know if there is an end.
This tall man, in fact, should be said to be the deputy commander of the Royal Forest Army. On the first day of the Three Kingdoms Martial Arts Competition, he came to pick up Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan's carriage at the behest of the emperor.
It was he who rode a horse and led his men to run amok, so that he ended up knocking over almost an entire street of shops, as well as innocent vendors and pedestrians on the side of the road. For this kind of person, Xuanyuan Yichen's impression is not deep, and there are more disgust and dislike. Seeing that he came this time, there must be nothing good about it. But I just don't know what kind of bad thing he brought today!
"Lord, Gonggong Li and Commander Sun have come to convey the holy decree, but it has been an hour or two, and Grandpa Li and Commander Sun have not returned to the palace to report the news. The emperor was in a hurry, and specially ordered his humble post to come and find it. The senior deputy commander was preaching to Xuanyuan Yichen at the moment, unhurried, lukewarm, but with an attitude that could not find mistakes.
It turned out that he was looking for someone. The guards in these mansions who came back were divided into several routes, and two of them went directly to the palace and the Six Princes' Mansion. Some people have been staying there to spy on them, and some have already returned to report the news.
The two people who came back said that they had not seen any trace of Sun Bao, and there was no unusual movement outside the palace and the Six Princes' Mansion. Especially the Six Princes' Mansion, where they searched more carefully and more easily.
But everyone has already come to the door, so is it true that Sun Bao did not return to the palace, or did he go back but the emperor himself came to cover up. The only thing that is certain is that the person disappeared in his own Xianwang's mansion, and then came to the Xianwang's mansion to look for him.
At that time, can the emperor beat him upside down, saying that the Xian Wangfu imprisoned or even killed Sun Bao, so that he could not return to the palace? This kind of thing, the emperor will definitely be able to do it. Xuanyuan Yichen thought, instead of being controlled by others like this, it is better to strike first!
Xuanyuan Yichen simply took him to the living room not far away, went out to find someone and came back empty-handed, the guards were still gathered here and did not leave, under the leadership of the housekeeper, so many people surrounded the senior deputy commander in the middle at once, and then began to say a word, as if countless little bees surrounded the senior deputy commander, and finally almost used everyone's mouth to say that he was stunned.
The senior deputy commander watched so many people keep switching back and forth in front of his eyes, and heard so many people keep talking in his ear, constantly gesturing, his eyes suddenly made a mistake, and the figure of Xuanyuan Yichen, who he had been staring at, disappeared in front of his eyes all at once.
He was still bent on chasing him out, but so many people immediately surrounded him tighter, let alone chasing him out, even if he wanted to move his steps, or even see these people in front of him clearly, it would be a super difficulty.
