Chapter 221. Restlessness
No one could guess Chu Yunfei's intentions, especially those important ministers in the court, all of whom kept wondering why King Liang fell into Chu Yunfei's hands. In addition to being smart, Chu Yunfei is even more admirable for his iron-faced selflessness. Could it be that King Liang really did those things that were not ashamed of the world? Otherwise, why would Chu Yunfei be so ruthless? For a while, the people in the royal family were also nervous, especially the people who interacted with King Liang on weekdays, and they pinched cold sweat for him.
What's even worse is that it is rumored that the assassination of the Liao mission is definitely not something that King Liang can do alone, and there must be people behind the scenes. People on all sides are speculating about how many people are involved in this and wrong. What's even worse is that the news from Mei Xiang Xiaozhu is even more disturbing: Chu Yunfei suddenly disappeared! Rumor has it that he has traveled to Shu to retrieve the treasure that he had already found. And the undercurrent floating in the capital seems to prove this statement, because there are many more people going west out of the city than in the past, which makes people have to think about it.
At the same time, another rumor also spread from Jingzhong Pavilion: King Liang held in his hand a clue to the legendary long-lost jade seal. Chu Yunfei did not go to Shudi, but to Luoyang, and found the heirloom jade seal as soon as possible to ensure that no one would use it to usurp the throne.
What's even more puzzling is that the emperor, who should have come forward a long time ago, didn't seem to know anything about this, and didn't send someone to "rescue" the King of Liang, who had been closest to him since childhood, as the world thought. This seems to confirm that statement: Chu Yunfei is the emperor's confidant, so the two of them secretly reached an agreement, and the emperor will pretend not to know before finding the heirloom jade seal.
"Are you deliberately letting out the news to make people think that you have left the capital, when in fact, you have been staying here all the time? What is the purpose? You can't take this opportunity to elope with me, right? I'm not that casual. In the quiet courtyard, Mei Qianjiao, who was dressed in red, leaned on the couch charmingly, trying to use every subtlety on her body to tease Chu Yunfei.
Chu Yunfei had a bright smile on his face, and he said leisurely: "If the owner of Baihua Mansion is willing to cut his love, he can elope with you, I can't ask for it." But there are still a few things to do right now. Don't forget, now that I'm in the same boat as your landlord, if the plan fails, your life won't be too easy. ”
"Is this a threat?" Mei giggled, her index finger running across Chu Yunfei's face, "I just like the way you look." Okay, tell us about your plans? We can't just hide here forever, can we? Something has to be done, right? We landlords don't like to procrastinate. ”
"I'm here to wait for someone. I believe he's coming soon. Chu Yunfei said with confidence, and then changed to a lazy posture and lay on Mei's lap, enjoying the beauty to the fullest.
Although Mei was full of questions, she didn't say it after all. A woman as smart as she is, of course, knows what to say and what not to say, especially at such special times. In fact, no one was more anxious than her, wanting to know what Chu Yunfei was waiting for, but she actually held back.
It wasn't until night fell that a mysterious man dressed in a night suit quietly appeared. He leaned against the door frame and said slowly: "I didn't expect you to be in such a good mood to laugh with a woman?" I want to see what's going on in your head. ”
"I'm thinking about you. Looks like the clues I left you are quite useful, otherwise you wouldn't have found them so quickly, would you? A bright smile appeared on Chu Yunfei's face.
The mysterious figure walked in slowly, and the indescribable power on his body frightened Mei, who had always been heavy, to take the initiative to stand up. The mysterious man sighed and said, "Say, you have spent so much effort, what are you here for?" ”
"It doesn't mean to gossip with you, does it? I don't think you would have been here if you hadn't had a ghost in your heart. Chu Yunfei sat up from the couch neatly, squinted at the mysterious figure in front of him and said, "I know, you must be wondering in your heart, how much do I know." Otherwise, with your passion for that treasure, why would you come to me when you have all the clues? ”
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn, and Mei was confused, and at that moment, she noticed a small crack in the secret passage in the room. No need to ask, the landlord has already gotten the news to be here so soon.
The mysterious man glared at Chu Yunfei for a while, and suddenly laughed: "I don't understand what you're saying." Could it be that you haven't seen each other for a few days, and you have forgotten our agreement? ”
"It's because I remember our agreement that I can be sure that you've got what we desperately wanted. That legendary treasure, you've found the exact place, haven't you? The only thing I don't understand is why you can still be so calm. Aren't you afraid that someone will get ahead of the curve? Chu Yunfei asked slowly.
The mysterious figure snorted coldly, as if to gauge how much Chu Yunfei knew, and finally shook his head slightly and said, "I don't quite understand what you're talking about." Don't you know that the legendary treasure map is incomplete? Unless I'm an immortal, how can I find the location of the treasure place? I think you're confused, right? ”
"Indeed, as far as we can see, the treasure map is indeed incomplete. But what if someone had already made up the rest? What about finding the last missing piece? Chu Yunfei looked at the person in front of him helplessly. Forcing the truth out of other people's mouths has always been the last thing Chu Yunfei wants to do, after all, it hurts other people's self-esteem too much.
The visitor smiled coldly and said, "You are really good at laughing, the treasure map is of great significance, how could ordinary people easily get those four parts?" What's more, the so-called treasure, no one knew where it was in the first place......"
"But it must have been familiar to you, didn't it? Not only do you know the treasures, but you also know that the treasures contain the legendary heirloom jade seals. More importantly, everyone in the world knows that if someone can get the jade seal of the country, they can become a rightful emperor. And you, as long as you hold the jade seal, you can ascend to the throne of God, right? Chu Yunfei pressed forward step by step, he stared at the mysterious figure in front of him, and every word was said clearly.
The person in front of him was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes narrowed, and his eyes were full of murderous intent, and he said word by word: "You really will be whimsical!" Aren't you afraid that I will kill you? ”
"Your life must be more precious than mine, isn't it? Even if you want to kill me, you'll think about whether it's worth killing me. Chu Yunfei's face turned pale, "You are the dignified King of Xiang, with the respect of your daughter, you committed the crime of murder for my little cloth, it's too much to say, right?" ”
