A few hours later, in the Lingren Pavilion in the east of the city, the eldest prince Yuwen Moqian also heard the news. He couldn't help but laugh out loud after hearing that Yuwen Mochi was shot blind in one eye by Bai Yiyan. His good sixth brother pretends to be smart, and now he doesn't have to do it himself, he digs his own grave, and he will never be able to chase the throne in the future. This can be regarded as revenge for his attempt to calculate his revenge in Yitu Pavilion.

Yuwen Moqian thought happily, before he was worried that in addition to the crown prince, he would have another competitor who won the hearts of his father. Now I can finally rest assured. He happily let people serve wine and food, and then called two beautiful young men over, and he wanted to celebrate today.

After waiting for a while, a man came in with food and drinks. He put the wine and food on the table, closed the door with his backhand, and sat opposite Yuwen Moqian with a big grin. Yuwen Moqian saw this person's outfit and asked him with a frown, "Who are you?!" ”

I saw that although the man was as tall as jade, he was only wearing a brown linen robe. He wears a silver mask on his face and one of his right eyes is covered by a black cloth. The man opened his mouth in a dumb voice: "It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is whether you want to stop here, Your Royal Highness, or do you want to celebrate after giving Yuwen Moyuan a head-on blow?" ”

Yuwen Moqian was shocked when he heard this, and asked him: "Bold thief, you dare to provoke the relationship between me and the prince." I'll order someone to arrest you and go to see Jing Zhaoyin! ”

The masked man sneered, "Your Highness, why are you so nervous? I have come today with no ill intentions, but rather to give a gift to His Highness. You and I have common enemies. Yuwen Moyuan and I have a grudge against the sky, and my face was ruined by him. His Royal Highness is the dragon and phoenix among people, and Xiao Ke has been admiring him for a long time. And His Royal Highness, as the eldest son of Emperor Wei, should naturally be made the crown prince, when will it be Yuwen Moyuan's turn? It was he who sprang up your image in Emperor Wei, so that Your Highness missed out on the position of the crown prince. ”

Although the eldest prince didn't believe him yet, listening to this man's mouthful, Yuwen Moyuan, he thought that he really had an old grudge with his second brother. As the saying goes, the enemy of an enemy is a friend, but his attitude was relaxed, and he did not call the attendant in, but just waited for the man's next step.

The masked man said softly: "I also took a big risk when I came here today, but in order to bring down Yuwen Moyuan, I can't care about it." I just hope that one day, when Your Highness ascends the throne, he can ruin Yuwen Moyuan's face and avenge me. At the end of his speech, his words were full of hatred.

Yuwen Moqian's suspicion this time is a little smaller, it seems that this person has a lot of enmity with Yuwen Moyuan. Listen to what he has to say. Yuwen Moqian opened his mouth hesitantly: "I don't know what you want to talk about with His Royal Highness today?" ”

The masked man replied: "Xiao Ke would like to offer a plan for His Highness today, and let Yuwen Moyuan be rejected by Emperor Wei in the early court tomorrow." ”

Yuwen Moqian stared at him: "Oh? ”

The masked man slowly asked Yuwen Moqian: "I wonder if Your Highness has heard about the affairs of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion?" ”

Yuwen Moqian didn't expect that this person would even find out this kind of secret that was only circulated in the upper echelons, and the matter of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion only happened today, so he would be able to find himself immediately, it seems that this person's energy is not small. He began to get a little serious: "Listen. But what does this have to do with Your Highness? ”

The masked man continued: "I don't know if His Highness knows that when Yuwen Moyuan met Emperor Ling alone today, he tried to intercede for the Marquis of Dingyuan. Therefore, Emperor Wei did not immediately issue an order to kill the Dingyuan Marquis family, but only put their family in prison. However, Emperor Wei specially informed the important ministers that tomorrow morning, indicating that Emperor Wei's thoughts have not yet been completely decided, and it is likely that he will ask the ministers again at the court meeting tomorrow about the handling of the Marquis of Dingyuan. ”

Yuwen Moqian looked at the person opposite in surprise, how could he know so much news? And the head of the analysis is the Tao, and it seems that he is a hidden master. Fortunately, this person had a grudge against his second brother, which made him pick up a bargain.

The masked man didn't care what Yuwen Moqian thought, and continued: "According to what Yuwen Moyuan did today, he will definitely let his supporters in the court leave the life of the Marquis of Dingyuan tomorrow, and the big thing will be small. But His Royal Highness thought about it, if Yuwen Moyuan interceded, but then someone revealed that Dingyuan Marquis was a villain who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country. , what do you say Emperor Wei will think of Yuwen Moyuan? ”

Yuwen Moqian frowned: "What are you talking nonsense, how could the Marquis of Dingyuan collaborate with the enemy and betray the country?" And even if he collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, how can he guarantee that his father will definitely blame the second brother? ”

The masked man took out a letter from his arms and gently pushed it in front of Yuwen Moqian: "Coincidentally, not only did the Marquis of Dingyuan really collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, but his evidence also made me steal it." Your Highness may wish to take a look at what is written in this letter. ”

Yuwen Moqian took the letter suspiciously, opened it and quickly browsed it, the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became. Judging by the wording, the letter should be a reply. The person who replied agreed to buy two hundred carts of grain and grass from the Marquis of Dingyuan and transport it out of the country through Baiyuguan. At the end of the letter, the Marquis of Dingyuan also asked the prince to ask the prince on his behalf. The payment was none other than Xie Weining, the ninth prince of the Xia Kingdom.

Yu Wenmo asked sharply, "How did you get this letter?!" ”

The masked man calmly replied, "This letter was sent by a friend of mine who was in the Praetorian Guard. Presumably, His Royal Highness also knew that the Praetorian Guards were ordered to raid the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion today, and this friend of mine found this letter in the secret compartment of the Dingyuan Marquis's study. But he didn't say anything, and secretly brought it out to me. ”

The masked man looked into Yuwen Moqian's eyes and continued, "Your Highness, think about it. If tomorrow at the court meeting, Yuwen Moyuan first intercedes for the Marquis of Dingyuan, and then you throw out this letter. Do you think Yuwen Moyuan will be rejected by Emperor Wei? This letter is my gift to Your Highness. ”

Yuwen Moqian really believed the person in front of him now. He is not stupid, after reading this letter, he knew that it should be the Marquis of Dingyuan who sold the military grain to the Xia people in order to collect money, and his second brother probably also knew about it, and even he instructed it behind it. Collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country is a great crime. But thinking about it, the Marquis of Dingyuan dared to take in the remnants of the Qianguo and let him lead his troops to fight, what else did he not dare? It is possible that this letter is true.

He showed his first smile to the masked man: "Sir gave me such a big gift, how can this prince reciprocate?" ”

The masked man looked directly at Yuwen Moqian and said solemnly: "Xiao Ke just wants to ask for a promise, if His Highness has the opportunity to bring down Yuwen Moyuan, he must ruin his face and abolish one of his eyes!" ”

When Yuwen Moqian heard him ask to ruin Yuwen Moyuan's face again, he knew that this person only wanted revenge. Such a person can make him truly put his mind at ease. He nodded at the other party: "I promise you." I wonder if Mr. would like to stay with me and be my guest? ”

The masked man sighed, and said with some discouragement: "Thank you, Your Highness, for looking down on Xiao Ke." It's a pity that my appearance has been ruined, and I am blind in one eye, and I can't enter the court as an official again. ”

Yuwen Moqian knew that he was telling the truth, and he didn't want to force him too much, but he repeatedly emphasized that if he changed his mind, he was welcome to go to his palace at any time.

The masked man gave Yu Wenmo a long gesture, got up and left the room. Yuwen Moqian felt that this day was really a lucky day, first the sixth brother was shot blind, and then a mysterious person gave a big gift. He is no longer in the Servant Pavilion, and he must hurry back to discuss with his disciples about tomorrow morning.

The man with the silver mask went out of the Lingren Pavilion, and after making sure that no one was following him, he found a place where no one was around, raised his hand to remove the mask, and removed the black cloth covering his right eye, revealing his peerless face. He let out a long sigh of relief. muttered in a low voice: "Where did Yin Quan find the broken mask, it's not comfortable at all, it's about to suffocate me." ”
