"Last year, King Qinglian feasted hundreds of officials in Tianshan Building, and the eating and drinking degrees were all exquisite and rare to the extreme, and I felt dazzled when I saw too much, but this 'silver bud smoked fish' was fragrant but not greasy, which made Chu remember deeply. The girl might as well take a bite and see how far apart Chu's craftsmanship is from the Qinglian Palace Divine Chef. ”

"I haven't eaten it, I can't see it."

On the carriage, which was a little too luxurious, the man who was called the flute man for the time being talked to himself, and he didn't mind if someone on the other side was gobbling up or even talking clearly, which made him feel a little embarrassed, but he couldn't stop saying anything with the chopsticks in his hand.

It was the first time she knew that hunger was such an unbearable feeling, what silver bud smoked fish, what golden soup, she couldn't care about the sweet, sour, bitter and salty, but whatever could fill her stomach in the mouth was a good thing. After a gust of wind and clouds, Yan Li put down his chopsticks with worry, raised his head with a long sigh, and looked at the man who had been in a good time.

"Girl, you have a good appetite." The man gave a thumbs up.

Yan Li's face was full of seriousness: "After the award, it is the son's superb cooking skills, and every dish is full of color, flavor and flavor, which can't help but make people's appetite move." ”

"The girl is so eloquent." The man smiled playfully.

"I'm telling the truth, I've never been so cruel when I eat before, and I've made an exception for my son's good cooking skills."

The lie under a serious expression made the man chuckle, and he raised the small wine glass half-up, and the contours of his facial features became more and more profound under the reflection of the oil lamp: "Just now the girl said that the prince of Dingyuan mistook you for the king of Qinglian?" It's not surprising if you think about it, the prince of Dingyuan rarely lives in the imperial capital, and he only has a few connections with the Qinglian King, if he often interacts with the Qinglian King as usual, he will definitely not admit his mistake - cunning people can be disguised, but their eyes can't deceive people, the girl and the Qinglian King are essentially different, and Chu's eyes can see clearly. ”

"Listening to the tone of the son, it seems that he is very familiar with the Qinglian King?" Yan Liwu only put his hand on his cheek, looked at the man opposite, and sighed after getting a nod in response, "It's best to be familiar, I don't want to be mistaken for the Qinglian King again." If the prince is willing to help, please tell the prince of Dingyuan, whether the Qinglian King is dead or alive has nothing to do with me, I don't know where to hide what he wants, I just want to live quietly, and ask him to stop harassing me with a sword. ”

The man paused, and his eyes seemed to inadvertently pass over his worried face: "Oh? Is Shizi looking for something? Qinglian King's? ”

"Yes, something that belongs to the Qinglian King seems to be very important to Wen Moqing." Yan Liwu did not hesitate to answer while quietly observing, and when she was sure that her answer had aroused the curiosity of the other party, a smug look in her eyes was fleeting. There was a burst of thunder outside the carriage, Yan Liwu raised the teacup to cover his face, and a silent smile was cut off: "I want to leave Qinglian Mountain safely, as long as Gongzi Chu can help, I will naturally inform you of the more detailed situation after leaving." ”

"Girl, this is a bargain?"

"To each according to his needs, fair exchange."

The luxurious carriage surrounded by heavy rain was warm and fragrant, and the two people who looked at each other across the long table did not give in, as if they were waiting for the other to compromise. After half a pillar of incense, the man finally gave up the confrontation and smiled lightly: "The girl doesn't even know who I am, how dare she mention rash conditions?" Aren't you afraid that if I refuse to answer, and then get angry and do something bad to the girl? ”

Yan Liwu had expected the other party to ask this question, and a trace of confidence flashed in his eyes: "What is the identity of Gongzi Chu, and what is the relationship with King Qinglian, I really don't know about these, but I know that Gongzi Chu is different from those who chase and kill me, you don't plan to take my life, otherwise how would I be sitting here now?" Unless ......"

"Unless what?" Seeing that he said that he was half and half was left, the man smiled even more, but he always maintained an indifferent attitude.

"Unless there is an interest between Prince Chu and King Qinglian, or if Prince Chu is restricted by some circumstances, he can't kill King Qinglian." Yan Li's slender fingers gently stroked the edge of the carriage window, and his shrewd eyes still stayed on the smiling young face opposite, and he paused and said, "Such a luxurious carriage ordinary people will definitely not be able to sit down, thinking that Chu Gongzi is either from a famous and wealthy family or has an inseparable relationship with high-ranking officials and ministers, if you think like this, it makes sense that Chu Gongzi and Qinglian Wang often meet and are familiar with each other." ”

Wen Moqing once said that King Qinglian is a red face and a disaster, relying on the emperor to spoil his arrogance and arrogance, and do many evils, and the people of the world are eager to break his body into pieces. In that case, why didn't the man surnamed Chu kill her? According to Yan Liwu's conjecture, there may be two reasons why he didn't kill her, one is that Wen Moqing and others are for that roster, and the second possibility is related to his identity - the emperor's favored woman, some people can't kill her if they want to.

The keen speculation of Yan Liwu made the man suddenly silent, and for a long time, he sighed with emotion: "The girl Bing Xue is not inferior to the Qinglian King, even Chu can't help but want to doubt the girl's identity, but this is not a good thing, you must know that in the troubled times, many times you can save your life if you are confused." ”

How can the way of self-preservation prevail in troubled times?

Officials protect each other, collude up and down, and even their own children have to be used as bargaining chips in exchange for benefits, compared to these disgusting deeds, what is Mingzhe to protect himself as a turtle with a shrunken head?

The memories that he wanted to forget made Yan Li's eyes dimmed, and he lowered his head and no longer accepted the other party's inquiring gaze, and a pure cautious atmosphere mixed with a little melancholy, which actually made the man opposite who had been for a long time show an apologetic look.

"Did I say something wrong and make the girl sad? If so, Chu apologized first, and the conditions for wanting to make a deal with the girl were also improved. ”

"Oh? And the perks? Yan Liwu cheered up and squeezed out a smile, "Does Young Master Chu mean that he doesn't plan to ask Wen Moqing what he is looking for?" Actually, it's okay to tell you, after all, it has nothing to do with me. ”

Yan Liwu's impression of this Chu Gongzi is not bad, and her impression of Wen Moqing is not good, so she doesn't mind revealing the roster - if there are more people who know, it will be chaotic, and in this case, it will not hurt her to mess up.

However, a piece of "kindness" failed to return the imaginary, the man smiled, elegant and light, but the words were worried but caught a trace of cunning from the corner of his eye.

"Don't be mistaken, girl, Chu didn't agree to the conditions you proposed!" Therefore, as an embarrassed hand, the man shook his head, with an unconvincing sincere expression, "Although they don't dare to stop my carriage, but protecting the 'Qinglian King' from Qinglian Mountain will definitely attract scolding, there is not enough benefit Chu doesn't want to be poked in the back; ”

Treacherous is comparable to a black businessman. scolded secretly in his belly, and Yan Liwu still kept a calm smile: "What does that son want?" ”

The man blinked, his slightly hot fingertips unexpectedly pressed against Yan Li's worried brow.

"I want...... It's you. ”
