Chapter 454: The Adulterer and the Silver Woman
At this time, Xia Qianwei was already immersed in her thoughts, and she didn't notice that Mu Longyuan had stood by her side, and reached out to knock her smooth forehead.
"Some things are not as simple as you think. ”
He happened to receive news not long ago that King Jin had swept away most of the forces opposed to him in the court with a thunderbolt after ascending the throne, and those ministers who died had one thing in common, they were all poisoned by snakes!
King Jin is so blatantly tyrannical because he has accepted a powerful wizard.
This wizard is good at manipulating all kinds of poisonous snakes, and he is definitely a tricky character, so Mu Longyuan also sent someone to investigate secretly, and it turned out that all the spies were gone and never returned.
The dead soldiers under his command had never suffered such a great loss, and King Jin was ambitious, presumably thinking that he could sweep away thousands of armies with this sorcerer, so he took advantage of the feast of the four kingdoms to start the idea of fighting the kingdom of Chen.
The death of three people today may be just a small test for the other party.
"Lord Wang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has brought someone in this direction!" At this time, the Qi guards outside lowered their voices and warned, Mu Longyuan's eyes flashed, and a cold heart burst out all over his body.
It's so late, there is only one girl's family and a corpse, doesn't the prince know how to avoid suspicion?
I saw this unhappy man standing straight, with a posture of planning to greet Mu Yuan in person, and the Qi guards outside were immediately a little anxious.
"Lord Wang, they're coming soon!"
"So what?"
Mu Longyuan raised his eyebrows coldly and slightly, did he still want him to give up his place to Mu Yuan?
only heard a squeak, but Xia Qianwei opened the window on the side, and looked back with a caring and serious face, "The prince can leave from here." ”
“......”
At this time, the Qi guards had already followed in, and respectfully persuaded, "Lord, now is not the time to clash head-on with the crown prince. ”
He wanted to speak and stopped, Mu Longyuan's eyes moved, and then he glanced at Xia Qianwei unwillingly.
"Lord Wang, wait!"
Mu Longyuan, who had already jumped out of the window, was immediately called by Xia Qianwei, he was overjoyed, but in the next second, a robe was thrown out of it, and the window slammed shut again!
The Qi guards looked at their master's face that was even more gloomy than the night sky at this time, as if this was the clothes that the prince had just used to cover the male corpse......
At this time, Xia Qianwei had already settled down, and soon there was a sound of footsteps outside, accompanied by the flattered voices of two of the young servants, "Your Highness, why are you here when it's getting late?"
"Let you work harder, how can this temple be comfortable?"
Mu Yuan's tone was full of concern, and he had already stood at the door and knocked gently, "County Lord, disturb." ”
Soon, the girl opened the door of the house without being surprised, the beautiful little face was a little surprised, and before she could say anything, Mu Yuan took the food box handed over by the guard behind her, and smiled softly, "I brought you pastries." ”
"Thank you, Your Highness, but the situation is urgent, and it's still ......"
"Then I'll eat it later. ”
Mu Yuan seems to understand Xia Qianwei's temperament, she is not the kind of person who will be half-hearted, if she doesn't come tonight, she is likely to stay up until dawn.
At this time, the gentle man's gaze had already passed over Xia Qianwei and landed on the corpse behind her, but the naked appearance still made his expression change slightly.
Mu Yuan couldn't help but cough lightly, and then stepped in, but the wisp of familiar smell left in the air made his eyes flash, and he subconsciously began to look around.
"But what did you find?" he said as he walked towards the corpse, and the look of embarrassment on his face vanished.
Xia Qianwei couldn't help but glance at the window where Mu Longyuan had left, and then replied naturally and calmly, "He has been poisoned by a rare snake." ”
The servant on the side immediately chimed in, "Yes, the lowly found snake bite marks on the guard's back, and the other corpse on the shoulder. ”
Xia Qianwei slowly walked to the corpse in the center and pointed to the inside of the other party's thighs, "According to the size of the bite marks, this snake is about the thickness of a finger, and it is really not easy to guard, Your Highness should have prepared early." ”
There was a sudden silence all around, and I saw that all the men present avoided their eyes with unnatural expressions, Xia Qianwei looked in Mu Yuan's direction suspiciously, "Your Highness?"
However, what she didn't expect was that in their eyes, a young girl like herself would stand next to the undressed man with such an unchanged face, and pointed with her finger, even if she was dead, she shouldn't be so calm.
One of the servants hurriedly picked up a piece of black cloth and covered the corpse, pretending to be calm and round, "What the county lord of Yongle said is extremely true, this snake venom is not trivial, and it will not spread like a plague, and now the spring is the time when these poisons begin to be active, so we have to guard against it." ”
After everyone discussed, Mu Yuan suddenly looked in Xia Qianwei's direction, "County Lord, since the cause of death has been found, can this hall send you back to Xia Mansion?"
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness, the courtiers plan to take some scabs back, maybe they can develop an antidote, and my father has ordered someone to wait for the courtiers to return home. ”
The guards on the side immediately whispered beside Mu Yuan for a moment, and the elegant man's face immediately showed a bit of pity and reluctance, "In this case, the county lord should not be too tired, and the main hall will take the first step." ”
Looking at the departing group, Xia Qianwei had a faint smile on her face, Prince Chenguo, who is willing to share hardships with the people, should be a good emperor in the future.
She closed the door with her hand, but for some reason she let out a long sigh, compared to Mu Yuan, why is someone not so easy to deal with?
Who knew that a moment later, the door behind him suddenly opened, and the prince who had left turned back again.
He glanced around without a trace, and then smiled in Xia Qianwei's surprised gaze, "Remember to eat pastries." ”
“...... Thank you, Your Highness, for your heart. ”
Mu Yuan nodded lightly, and this time he finally left her sight without looking back.
Xia Qianwei's heart moved, did he notice something?
"What if he finds out?" Who knows, an extremely unhappy voice sounded in her ears, Xia Qianwei frowned, and immediately met Mu Longyuan's gaze dissatisfied.
However, the handsome man actually showed a wicked smile with a deep meaning, "If your appearance is discovered, I am afraid that you will really misunderstand what kind of adulterer we are, woman." ”
Could it be that only Mu Yuan can kill the carbine? Could it be that this girl thinks he can allow her to share a room with another man?
only heard a bang, and in the next second, Mu Longyuan was pushed out fiercely, and he ate a closed door, and the Qi guards on the side were full of helplessness, and he felt the strong anger of the Yongle County Lord through the door.
However, looking at his master's instantaneous happy expression, the Qi guards suddenly had a premonition that the prince was afraid that it would be a long time before he could get the princess......
