Chapter 12: Difficult to Divide (5)

"Brother, it's been clarified."

Xiao Di visited King Ning and came out, and Li Lian, who was waiting outside the door, greeted him and returned to him to investigate the results.

"The eldest grandson was really bitten by a snake, but the snake was unique to this area, and it is not poisonous to say that poison is not poisonous, and the person who was bitten has some small symptoms of convulsions and fever, and he doesn't even have to take medicine, and he will be fine in two or three days." Li Xiao said: "The eldest grandson really pointed to this idea as a symptom of poisoning, and he was blinding, so he got the opportunity to fight back." ”

Xiao Di listened, didn't say anything more on this matter, only asked him: "All the spies who surfaced this time have been dealt with?" ”

Li Lin bowed his head: "According to your orders, most of the people of the Changsun clan have been cleared, these days, I have sent more people to search and arrest, everyone in this mausoleum city is in danger for a hundred miles, and the battle is big enough." ”

"The battle is bigger, but it is also for deterrence." Xiao Di said, not forgetting to instruct: "It's just that you have to pay attention to instructing the people below, do things to do things, don't take the opportunity to bully innocent people, once you find someone who is acting wrongly, you will be directly exiled to the army, and you will never be soft." ”

"Brother, don't worry, other younger brothers don't dare to say that the people in our house have always been the most disciplined."

As soon as he heard this, Xiao Di glanced at him and sneered: "Heh, strict military discipline? ”

Li was silent for a moment, and immediately understood the meaning of his words.

After thinking about it, he still persuaded from the side: "Brother, what Brother Zijun did this time is indeed out of proportion, but the stall of the Changsun clan is terrifying, and he is in danger, and it is also a helpless move." ”

Xiao Di's eyes became even colder, a sarcastic smile appeared on his lips, and he wrote lightly: "Interesting, the people of the Gu family are really helpless." ”

"Brother......

Xiao suddenly stopped.

He looked back at Li Xiao and said, "You don't intercede for him less, look at me, I don't know what you think in your hearts?" ”

Li Lin frowned, and he hung his head and didn't dare to speak.

Xiao Di let out a long breath and eased the annoyance in his heart a little, "This is today when he uses Xiangyu as bait, you think that this king doesn't care about Xiangyu, and thinks about my intentions, so you dare to despise her." He asked: "Mo Yan, you ask yourself, if it is Yu Hibiscus who is the bait today, it is his own person, he still dares to do this?" Do you still dare to intercede for him? ”

Li Xiao knew that he was angry, and he was also ashamed of his words, and hurriedly confessed: "What my brother taught me is that the younger brother is wrong, and he will not dare in the future." ”

This one is upright, it is still easy to teach, and what makes Xiao Di have a headache is still the one with a bamboo sieve as the pot lid and a stomach full of eyes.

Retracting his thoughts, he solemnly said to Li Lian: "In any case, Xiang Yu is already the princess of Chu, as long as she does not do anything that damages the palace of Chu for a day, you will have to treat her as the master in your hearts." After a pause, he said slowly, "Unless, you don't want to recognize me." ”

Li Lin almost knelt down: "Little brother doesn't dare!" ”

While he was talking, Wei Chaoyang came over and asked for instructions on how to deal with the matter of the eldest grandson.

"Eldest Sun Zhen, those people are locked up in King Ning's mansion, and it is not appropriate to think about it. Please order Your Highness, can your subordinates send someone to escort this person back to Beijing first? ”

"No need." Xiao Di straightened his cuffs and said lightly: "Kill." ”

Hearing this, Li Xiao and Wei Chaoyang were both shocked.

The two glanced at each other, and Li Lin cautiously persuaded: "Brother, Changsun Zhen, in the end, is the younger brother of Changsun Ji, whether it is looking at the relationship between the two countries, or looking at our personal relationship with Changsun Ji, I am afraid it is always inappropriate to kill it like this." ”

"Hmm," but seeing that His Royal Highness the King of Chu nodded, he said casually: "Leave him a whole corpse." ”

When Xiao Di returned to the courtyard, Mr. Yiyuan was talking with Qingchen under the porch.

"Your Highness."

Mr. Yiyuan followed him inside, and Xiao Di stood by the bed, staring at the unconscious person, with mixed emotions in his eyes.

Behind him, Mr. Yiyuan replied: "The sword of the eldest grandson Zhen was stabbed off, and the wound was shallow, and the princess's shoulder was just a flesh wound, which was not in the way." ”

"Out of the way?" When Xiao Di heard this, his voice was slightly deep, "Then why has she been asleep?" ”

Mr. Yiyuan was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "The subordinates diagnosed the princess's pulse, and when they saw the princess's pulse signs, they appeared and appeared, and when they were hidden, they looked like they were dying, but now, they were healthy. Your Highness, I'm afraid my subordinates ......"

Xiao Di hurriedly asked, "I'm afraid of what?" ”

Mr. Yiyuan glanced at her and muttered, "I'm afraid that what the princess has is not a real disease, but an external disease." ”

A moment later, Li Xiao was called in front of Xiao Di.

"You go back to Beijing immediately, go to the palace of King Qi, and ask Princess Qi to come to the mausoleum as soon as possible."

Li Lin was instructed, but he was at a loss for a while, "Princess Qi? ”

Good manner, what did my brother do when he invited this living ancestor to come over?

Xiao Di had no intention of explaining more to him, only thinking that Wen Lian might not give him this face, so he thought about it again and again, and instructed Li Lian: "If she refuses, please ask her for the sake of King Huai'an, and be sure to help this king." ”

At this moment, Li Lin was even more surprised.

He has always known how much his brother doesn't like to owe favors to others, and he doesn't like to threaten others with favors, but now it's okay, and even the name of the king of Huai'an County has been invited, thinking that this matter must be very important.

Thinking of this, Li Lin didn't dare to delay any longer, accepted his life, and immediately set off.

Xiao Di stayed by her sickbed all afternoon, and a pair of eyes, as if they were tireless, just stared at her all the time.

When Changsun Zhen's sword stabbed at him, although he was thinking about things in his heart, he also noticed that if there was no movement of her suddenly slamming the door and coming in, distracting him, ninety percent of that sword would not have touched him.

It was self-defeating, but when the blade of the sword sank into her shoulder, he didn't mean to complain about her at all, and there seemed to be a raging anger in his heart, which suddenly rose, and other than that, it was fear.

He was afraid that the man would just fall asleep and never wake up again.

Just like the man back then......

His Royal Highness the King of Chu hadn't had such a strong murderous intent for several years.

Just because of this sword on her body, Changsun Zhen must die.

“…… Your Highness,"

There was a timid voice from the little girl's side, with a little nasal voice, obviously just crying. He rolled his eyes, looked up slowly, and saw Qingchen holding a porridge and standing in front of a table not far away.

Since the disappearance of Princess Chu, how many days have passed, from Yangpu to Lingcheng, this girl has always looked like she has made a mistake, and she always feels that she has not followed the princess well, which made her fall in love with the way of the villain, and she blamed herself very much between her eyebrows, and she looked at Xiao Di helplessly and distressed.

Qingchen persuaded softly: "You haven't eaten much in the morning, it's all this hour, so let's cushion it......"

He smiled helplessly, got up and walked towards her, "She's all back, why are you still crying?" ”

It's good that he didn't mention it, but now that he mentioned it, the little girl had just suppressed her tears, and then she had the meaning of surging up.

"It's all my fault, if I hadn't been separated from the princess that night, she wouldn't have been taken away. It's all my fault that the princess has suffered so much, you see that she is still asleep now, if it is ......" Qingchen said, he couldn't help but be a little anxious, pulled his cuffs and said: "If Princess Qi can't do it later, then what should I do?" ”

He said: "Then there is still Jiguang, and it will not be successful, the ends of the earth, and Wen Yan." ”

Qingchen nodded, and after thinking about it again, he was still not at ease: "If it is, if it is, if it is ......"

Xiao Di smiled tiredly and patted her lightly on the top of her head.

"Don't worry, she'll wake up." He muttered, "She's going to wake up." ”

That night, Gu Zijun heard the door ringing, he looked up, but saw that His Royal Highness the King of Chu was carrying a food box and personally came to bring him dinner.

Since that day, he was found out by Xiao Di when he left the country with his eldest grandson, and he has been confined here, and this is the first time the two have seen each other in the past few days.

"Yikes! Will Your Highness come and see me? He pretended to be surprised, with a cynical face, and said with a smile: "I am still Your Highness, because I feel sorry for the princess, and I will never forgive me again!" ”

Xiao Di glanced at him without emotion, put down the food box, and sat down on the side.

He asked Gu Zijun: "Do you think I should forgive you?" ”

Gu Zijun smiled and only said: "My subordinates have taken risks for state affairs and hurt the safety of the princess, and His Royal Highness is unwilling to forgive, so he should be." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Di was silent for a moment.

Gu Zijun took advantage of his silence to put the meal away, picked up what he liked, and ate it calmly.

waited until he finished eating, Xiao Di spoke again: "You are smart, like your father." ”

Gu Zijun's eyebrows moved.

Xiao Di sighed lightly, and continued: "It's just that this smart person, once he uses his heart to be vicious, he can only be mistaken by his cleverness." ”

The smile in Gu Zijun's eyes faded, and his tone softened, and he said, "I don't understand what you said." ”

Xiao Di smiled lightly.

"There are a lot of spies in the territory of the Changsun clan, even if the eldest grandson Zhen takes Xiangyu out of the territory all the way, just along the way, if you can fish it out, it will only be a drop in the ocean."

Gu Zijun's expression became more and more serious with Xiao Di's words.

"You've been with me since I was a child, and no one knows better than me if you're stupid, or if you're smart, or how smart you are. As for whether this bait is useful and how useful it is, and how the eldest grandson should clean it up, Zijun, you know it very well in your heart. ”

He paused for a moment, but Gu Zijun didn't speak.

Xiao Di looked at his side face and said word by word: "This time, you are not trying to hook up the spy network of the Changsun clan, you are trying to get rid of Xiang Yu." ”

The shadow of the lamp flickered, and a silence spread through the room.

After a long time, Gu Zijun suddenly smiled softly.

"yes, of course I'm here to get rid of each other." He said: "Anyway, she is also the daughter of the Xiang family, and it is not easy to justifiably make her disappear, if you don't get it right, it will hurt our relationship with the Xiang family, and you can't do it." It is most appropriate to kill people with a knife. ”

After a pause, he asked, "Is my idea bad?" ”
