Chapter 173: Trading
Huayuan looked at Ning Shangmo and took the initiative to sigh: "I can't imagine two people in the world who are so imaginable. ”
Chu Yue smiled faintly and asked half-truthfully, "How do you know that she is not the eldest princess of Da Ling?" ”
Hearing this, Huayuan couldn't help laughing, "Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, I suddenly discovered a secret of yours. ”
Chu Yue was puzzled and asked, "What secret?" Let's hear it. ”
"You like the eldest princess of Da Ling." The painting garden replied confidently.
"How? Is it because I have this beauty next to me who looks like the eldest princess of Da Ling? Chu Yue couldn't help laughing.
Ning Shangmo pretended to be surprised and asked, "What is the eldest princess of Da Ling?" Does she look like me? ”
"It's not very similar, it's very similar, almost carved out of a mold." The painting garden smiled and nodded.
"Really? I really want to meet this eldest princess of Da Ling, maybe I'm her sister who has lost to the people. Ning Shangmo said with a wistful expression: "In this way, I am also a princess." ”
"Needless to say, it's really possible. It's better for me to take you to see the eldest princess of Da Ling another day, she is now in the Xiliang Royal Court. The painting garden said with a smile.
Ning Shangmo asked again in surprise, "Isn't the eldest princess of Da Ling gone?" How did you come back again? ”
"Ming Xiang's old illness has recurred, and they can't continue to hurry, so they can only come back." Hua Yuan said with a smile: "It's easy for you to go to see the eldest princess of Daling, now the second prince is responsible for protecting the safety of the Daling envoy's court, just let him take you there." ”
"Really? Will the second prince take me there? Ning Shangmo asked with a surprised expression on his face when he heard this.
Chu Yue replied solemnly: "Don't make trouble, I'm responsible for protecting their safety, how can I bring people in casually?" If you want to see her, wait for a chance. ”
Ning Shangmo nodded obediently and responded, "Okay, listen to you." ”
Huayuan clapped his hands and smiled: "I envy you, my husband sings with my wife." I wondered if I would be the one who was happy if I had won the bid for the beauty that night. ”
Chu Yue not only did not get angry when he heard this, but smiled ambiguously, as if he really married Ning Shangmo.
Ning Shangmo couldn't help blushing and looked down at his wine glass.
Therefore, each has reservations, and it is natural that the speech is half-implicit, half-revealing and half-tentative.
It was not very pleasant to talk like this, and after eating, the painting garden got up and said goodbye.
"Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, can I invite you to drink another day? Today's beauties are naturally not happy to drink. He asked with a smile.
Chu Yue knew that he had something to say, so he nodded and responded: "Okay, when the time comes, I will get drunk with the painter." ”
"Okay, then we'll settle it." The painting arched his hand at him and turned to leave.
Ning Shangmo looked at his back and couldn't help muttering, "Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, do you think he really doesn't suspect that I am the eldest princess of Da Ling?" ”
"It's hard to say, this person doesn't seem to be simple. He's coming with you, isn't he? Chu Yue asked out loud.
"Yes." Ning Shangmo nodded.
"However, he didn't go with Xiangye and them, don't you think it's very strange?" Chu Yue asked with a slight smile.
Ning Shangmo nodded again, Huayuan ate her poison before leaving Beijing, and the antidote was only available to her. He didn't follow Fake Ning Shangmo and them back to Daling, he should have thought of something, this is what she once thought of.
"In this case, he should be suspicious, and of course he may be lingering for other things." Chu Yue concluded: "To be honest, I can't guess either. You know him well, what do you think? ”
Ning Shangmo thought for a while and replied, "I'm similar to what you think." Maybe it's not hard for us to prove it. ”
"I'll arrange for someone to do it." Chu Yue nodded solemnly, as long as he investigated what he did after staying.
Fake Ning Shangmo's side did not move, but Zhenning Shangmo's side was in full swing to find out the truth.
A few days later, the painting garden took the initiative to invite Chu Yue to drink.
Chu Yue had a promise before, so he readily agreed.
They went to the same restaurant, but they asked for a private room.
The boss has been nervous because of what happened last time, and he was afraid that Chu Yue would be dissatisfied with him, so this time he was very careful and smiling, and he was courteous.
Chu Yue understood his thoughts and waved his hand at him: "You don't need to serve here, you can go out." ”
After the boss went out, Chu Yue drank and chatted with the painting garden, but they also had a good conversation.
Of course, they didn't come out to drink, and when the wine was half-drunk, Huayuan spoke first and asked with a smile: "Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, do you know who the gang of people who had a conflict with the restaurant owner here last time?" ”
When Chu Yue heard this, he raised his eyebrows and asked lightly, "Who is it?" ”
"Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, can I make a deal with you, I will give you valuable information, and in the future, I will be here in Xiliang Realm, you have to protect me." Hua Yuan smiled and asked.
Chu Yue couldn't help laughing, the painting garden really deserved to be playing with intelligence information. How could he serve him for free, knowing that he would have a request, but this request was within his bearing, so he said: "This is no problem, but I want to hear what valuable information can make my second prince protect you." ”
Huayuan smiled very proudly: "You should believe me, it is definitely worth the money." ”
"Really? Let's talk about it. Chu Yue said casually. He casually showed a casual appearance, but in his heart, he really wanted to know what kind of news he would give him.
He had also heard of the painting garden, which was under the name of opening a brothel, collecting information from various countries to obtain corresponding value. So he earns not only the money of the girls and the girls, but also this part.
However, he knew that he had a principle, that is, the military secrets of various countries were not within the scope of his information collection. Therefore, he has not tried to contact him, and now, he has taken the initiative to come to the door, maybe he should make good use of this line, but the painting garden has a dense eyeliner in all countries.
"I'm talking about the origin of the group of people who occupy the window seat and don't change it." Huayuan smiled slightly, "They are not Xiliang people, not Jin people, but." ”
Chu Yue saw that he was deliberately selling Guanzi, and he was not in a hurry, he flicked the table lightly with his index finger, looked at him quietly, and did not urge.
Huayuan couldn't help but shake his head slightly, this second prince was really calm enough. Did he already know? No, if this news hadn't been sent by his people from the Beimeng Flying Pigeon, he wouldn't have known. He didn't think that the second prince's eyeliner was greater than him in Beimeng.
I don't know, for sure.
The painting garden continued with confidence: "It's a native of Beimeng. ”
Sure enough, when Chu Yue heard the news, his hand on the table stopped.
"Northern Mongolians? Are you sure? ”
From this sentence, Huayuan understood that he really didn't know.
So there was a confident and smug expression on his face: "Of course, wouldn't it be smashed if it weren't for my signboard?" ”
"What are they here for?" Chu Yue's eyes sank, it was already chaotic enough. Da Ling's waiter hasn't left yet, and Ning Shangmo's affairs haven't settled down yet, which is enough to annoy him. Why are the Northern Mongolian people here again?
He shook his head, indicating that he didn't know what they were for.
Chu Yue stared at him in disbelief, "Is there anything else you don't know?" Make a price, I am interested in something, no matter how much it costs, I don't care. ”
When Huayuan heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "His Royal Highness the Second Prince still understands me." But it's not that I deliberately didn't say it, but the purpose behind it involves the Northern Mongolian royal family, and I really don't dare to ......"
"What would you not dare? With my second prince protecting you, what are you worried about? Chu Yue's face turned pale.
Huayuan hurriedly waved his hand: "No, don't dare, it's just my principle, don't touch the royal affairs of various countries." ”
"The words come out of your mouth, and they stop in my ears, and no third person will know. And after I know the news, I will act cautiously and will definitely not expose you. Chu Yue solemnly promised.
When Huayuan heard him say this, he had to sigh, "That's it, since you plan to take refuge under the second prince, I naturally want to make an exception for you and tell you the news related to the disguise of the Northern Mongolian people in Xiliang."
Chu Yue nodded and responded: "Okay, in the future, you will be my Chu Yue's friend, and you can enter and leave my prince's mansion freely." ”
This is the highest reward, and it is exactly what the painting garden wants, he clapped his hands and smiled: "The second prince is really worthy of the painting garden, and with your protection in the future, I will not be bullied in Xiliang." ”
"That's nature." Chu Yue stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, solemnly promised.
"The skinny Beimeng who clashed with you that day was the illegitimate son of the Beimeng Emperor who was exiled among the people. His mother was a peasant girl, and he grew up in a peasant family, and only recently was he recognized as a naturalist. Huayuan smiled very proudly, such a secret news is not available to ordinary people, even in the palace of the Northern Mongolian Imperial City, there are very few people who know about it.
"Getting to the point." Chu Yue was not interested in such news, which was commonplace in the homes of the rich and noble.
The painter nodded and continued.
It turned out that the Emperor of Beimeng recognized his illegitimate son Tuoba Hongyu as his ancestors, but did not announce his life experience, and the queen mother knew about it, but no one else knew about it.
If the painting garden hadn't arranged eyeliner around the Queen Mother of Beimeng, he wouldn't have gotten such top-secret news.
After Tuoba Hongyu recognized the Northern Mongolian Emperor, he was arranged to receive training in the Northern Mongolian army. Later, with his own ability, he has become an excellent spy in a few years.
Of course, he used a disguised identity, and no one knew his true identity.
I came to Xiliang this time because of Tuoba Yanling's affairs. Emperor Beimeng naturally couldn't accept his daughter's insult and chose to go into hiding, and on the surface he blocked the news and did not move. Secretly, he used his most trusted and most important son, Tuoba Hongyu, to investigate the matter.
After hearing this, Chu Yue asked in surprise, "Princess Tuoba was humiliated and disappeared?" However, why did they come to my Xiliang to investigate this matter? ”
Huayuan shook his head and replied: "I don't know about this, after all, it is related to the secrets of the royal family, and I only know so much." Maybe they thought that the eldest princess of Daling and the prime minister were here, and Princess Tuoba had been closely entangled with them, so they came. ”
