Chapter 441: Induced Suspicion
Due to the heavy rain for most of the day, the sky was always dark, and when night fell, the sky became even more gloomy, and the torrential rain turned into moderate rain, which did not stop.
Si Chen stood in front of the cave, and suddenly said, "If this rain doesn't stop, the lake of Mingyue Lake will flood, and the mountains and rocks will also be washed away by the rain, blocking the road." ”
When everyone heard this, they were slightly stunned.
Si Xuerou looked disdainful, glared at her and said coldly: "Even if the eldest sister knows the celestial phenomena and knows divination, don't you need to be alarmist and scare people at such a time." ”
Si Chen didn't look back at her, nor did he respond to her.
Si Xuerou felt a soft gray nose, and her beautiful face was full of anger.
Emperor Chiyang turned a deaf ear to the voices around him, he had been practicing since a long time ago, sitting cross-legged on a large rock, several of his guards were guarded around, with a wary expression.
Shen Run sat on the side and pondered, not paying attention to the gunpowder conversation between Si Chen and Si Xuerou sisters.
Only Dou Xuan listened to the conversation between the two of them with great interest, looked at Si Xuerou with anger on her face for a while, and looked at Si Chen who was standing in front of the cave carelessly, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
After a while, another man broke through the rain curtain and ran into the cave, startling the people who were sheltering from the rain in the cave.
Yan Ying broke in with quicksand, the two of them were also soaked, Yan Ying's long black and thick hair hung down, covered with water droplets, snow-white face, red lips, crystal clear, like a rose blooming in the rain moist and magnificent.
Si Xuerou's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly shifted her gaze, she knew how to be self-controlled, Yan Ying, this man was too dangerous, she couldn't control it, and her pursuit of advantages and avoiding disadvantages made her choose restraint.
After breaking into the cave, Yan Ying smiled and said to the people who were watching him:
"The rain is too big, the road is not easy to walk, the water level of Mingyue Lake has been rising, it is safer to stay in the mountain at this time, and it is better to wait for the rain to stop and the water level will recede before going down the mountain."
He said it lightly, which caused the anger of Emperor Chiyang.
"Did His Royal Highness Sakura already think of this when he invited me out to swim in the lake?" Emperor Chiyang asked coldly.
Yan Ying knew that he was suspicious of him, and said with a smile: "Emperor Chiyang misunderstood, every year at the turn of spring and summer, the flood season around Yicheng will enter, but this year's flood season came late, and it collided with the Five Kingdoms, Yan Ying thought that there would be no spring flood this year." ”
Emperor Chiyang looked at him in the darkness where he couldn't see his five fingers, because his night vision was not good, and he didn't see anything, he snorted heavily and said no more.
Yan Ying brought some firewood, and I don't know where he found it, the quicksand made a pile of firewood, and lit it in the middle of the cave, and the bonfire of Ran Ran rose, bringing brightness and warmth.
Si Xuerou was overjoyed, she was almost frozen by the wet clothes on her body, as soon as the fire was lit, she couldn't wait to go over to roast the fire, before squatting down in front of the fire, there was a sudden loud grunt in her stomach, Si Xuerou's face flushed, and her stomach was clamped.
The others felt funny and embarrassed, and it was inconvenient to ask her if she was hungry, so they could only pretend not to hear.
Shen Run stood up suddenly, walked to Si Chen's side, and asked her softly:
"Are you hungry?"
Si Chen shook his head.
At this moment, a little goat that didn't know whether to get lost or escape to avoid the rising water level suddenly broke through the rain curtain and broke into the cave, and before it had time to withdraw because there were many people in the cave, I didn't know who shot the goat in the head, and then several guards came up and worked together to surround and capture the goat.
The guards went to the cave to dispose of the goats in the rain, but the smell of goat's blood wafted in the wind and rain.
Si Chen frowned, and finally left the cave and went inside.
Huo Wu spread his clothes on the stone, Si Chen sat down, pondered for a while, and beckoned to Huo Wu.
Huo Wu willed, sat on the big stone, Si Chen crooked in her arms, closed his eyes and rested.
Emperor Chiyang glanced at her, thinking that this woman is also a good fate, not only the beautiful men around her are like clouds, but even the maids are all beautiful from face to figure, and she embraces her left and right, enjoying all the beautiful blessings.
While he was thinking about it with exhaustion and hunger, the guards brought in the slaughtered goats and set them up on the fire for barbecue.
The smell of barbecue wafted over, Si Chen didn't like the smell of meat, and always felt that there was a smell of blood in it, which made her nauseous. But it was raining heavily, and it was impossible for her to go outside to get drenched in the rain, so she frowned, pillowed on Huo Wu's thighs, and simply covered her head with her clothes.
Shen Run walked over, lifted a corner of the clothes that covered her head and face, and asked softly, "Do you want to eat?" ”
Si Chen was a little unhappy with his interruption, looked at him with a calm face, and did not answer.
Shen Run didn't care, he reached in and touched her forehead, making sure that there was no fever before he withdrew his hand and put down the clothes that covered her head and face.
Si Chen didn't like to be touched by outsiders, so he frowned and rubbed his forehead with his clothes.
Yan Ying stood in the distance, taking in the scene just now, although the corners of her lips were still hooked into a smile, she shifted her gaze to the outside of the cave.
At this moment, he listened to Huo Wu and opened his mouth softly.
Huo Wu was just whispering to Si Chen, his voice was very low and soft, because the guards were roasting the whole sheep in the cave, there was a lot of noise, and Huo Wu's voice was very small, as if he didn't want others to hear it. But several important masters in the cave have good ears, and even if she whispers, they can hear it.
Huo Wu lowered his waist, leaned into Si Chen's ear, frowned, and whispered to Si Chen through a piece of clothing in a solemn tone:
"Your Highness, the slave and maid remembered something."
"What's the matter?" Si Chen asked lightly through his clothes.
"The slave remembered that Qian'er beside Prince Changxi had come over to ask His Royal Highness Nian Xia if he was going out these days, saying that Prince Changxi wanted to know His Highness's whereabouts."
"So, how?"
"That Qian'er came out of the Ouyang family, it seems that she was rewarded from the Ouyang family from the palace, the slave and maid are thinking, after going back, should you ask Chang Xi Gongzi, has he ever sent Qian'er over to ask His Highness's whereabouts."
Si Chen was silent and speechless.
Seeing this, Fire Dance stopped talking.
Shen Run, who was sitting nearby, listened to this conversation word for word, and he frowned.
The master and servant didn't say anything suspicious, but their words were clearly strongly inducing in the current atmosphere.
No one knew that today's tour of the lake was temporarily agreed by Shen Run and Chenguang, and in the eyes of outsiders, they may have made an appointment in advance.
Today, the heads of the four countries were assassinated, and the only one who was not present was Yan Yunguo was very suspicious. According to Huo Wu, the Qian'er girl who was born in the palace of Yanyun Kingdom took advantage of Chang Xi's concern for His Royal Highness Lord Feng to ask a little girl about His Royal Highness Lord Feng's whereabouts, and then there was today's assassination case of the head of the four countries.
Si Chen and Huo Wu, the master and servant, just had a simple conversation, no one knew if they were lying, they didn't even reach a conclusion, but they used inducing words to plant a seed of doubt in people's hearts.
If it weren't for Shen Run knowing that this trip between him and Chenguang to the lake was a whim, he would have added another touch to the suspicion of Yanyun Kingdom.
