In front of so many people, even if someone wants to suppress this matter, it won't work. The king of Qi sent an order to go down and ask the Xue clan, who was in charge of guarding, to search carefully. It didn't take long for Xue Yang, the eldest son of the Xue family, to hurry over, his armor rattling with the sound of walking, and knelt down in front of King Qi to reply.

As expected, the Xue people found nothing. The prince's guards, originally many people were promoted from the army under the control of the Xue family, and after King Qi led people away, the prince immediately asked someone to send a letter to the head of the Xue family and the eldest prince of Xue, and removed the people who had been hidden in the secret passage in advance. Those guards quietly infiltrated the people guarding the safety of the Lingque Terrace, and it was difficult for outsiders to catch the handle.

Ever since he came over, Chu Ning had been looking at him with a smile, and when he finished answering King Qi's words and stood sideways, Chu Ning turned his head frequently and looked at him with a smile, but as soon as Xue Yang looked over, Chu Ning immediately turned his head away.

After repeating this a few times, Xue Yang finally couldn't help but ask: "This young lady has been looking at Xue, could it be that there is something strange about Xue?" ”

Chu Ning learned the twisted appearance of those young ladies in Lindu, raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose, lowered his head and said: "No, I have heard of Master Xue from others several times, but I have never seen it, and I can't help but want to see it clearly." ”

There was nothing wrong with saying this, at most it was a little abrupt, Xue Yang was not easy to answer, so he had to stand up straight and try not to look at her.

Chu Ning continued: "Earlier today, I heard a guard chatting outside, a few days ago, it seems that a stunning woman was looking for a husband for thousands of miles and came to find Prince Xue, but was taken in by the prince, it seems that Prince Xue has a lot of affection with His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Hearing this, Xue Yang's brows furrowed slightly, he had never heard of any woman coming to him, and he wanted to ask carefully, but in front of King Qi and so many people, it was difficult to speak, and the doubts in his heart were even heavier.

The prince did not discuss the matter arranged by the Xue family this time, but the real reason is simple, the head of the Xue family is almost the same age as the king of Qi, and he also followed the king of Qi to discuss everywhere back then. But the prince is not a child anymore, he is stared at by the Xue family, and he can't make a mistake by half a step, and he is inevitably a little unconvinced, just like a child always wants to prove to adults that he has grown up, and wants to do something to show them.

But the younger generation of the Xue family is not so close to the prince, and even because the prince has recently preferred to favor the strategists who are proficient in spiritual arts, they have already complained a lot. Chu Ning's plausible words made Xue Yang suspicious, suspecting that Prince Bu's bureau also included pulling the Xue family into the water.

Chu Ning observed the words and looks, knowing that Xue Yang's heart had been shaken, and seeing that King Qi had a calm face and did not speak, he thought that he had not yet made up his mind, so he seemed to suddenly remember something, and said: "Speaking of which, when I set off from Lingque Terrace that day and walked along the secret passage to the East China Sea, I seemed to smell a strange aroma in the secret passage, which was contaminated on my body and would not dissipate for several days, and I didn't know what the smell was, so magical. ”

This is completely her three-inch incorruptible tongue playing freely, and the humidity in the secret passage is very heavy, and any smell is washed away by the seawater. But the secret passage has not been opened once for more than ten years, and ordinary people don't know what the secret passage is like. When Xue Yang heard this, his brows tightened even tighter, if there was a smell in the secret passage, those prince guards who mixed into his hands must also be contaminated with this smell, as soon as they smelled it.

But Xue Yang was not as easy to panic as the crown prince, he thought for a while, and then said: "When this young lady said this, I also remembered that the soldiers I sent to search in the secret passage also seemed to have some people infected with the smell. ”

Chu Ning turned his head again and said with a smile: "So Senior Prince Xue has already sent someone to search in the secret passage, and it is pitch black in the secret passage, can Grand Prince Xue's people see it clearly?" ”

Xue Yang didn't want to entangle with her too much, so he replied bluntly: "Just light the torch." ”

"Oops," Chu Ning exclaimed, "There is a lot of sulfur gas in the secret passage, and it is very dangerous to use torches to illuminate it." ”

Xue Yang replied: "I also ordered someone to prepare the Night Pearl, where it is inconvenient to light the torch, it is enough to use the Night Pearl to barely illuminate it." ”

"Well," Chu Ning finally nodded with satisfaction, "Didn't the people under Grand Prince Xue tell you, that big snake has been in the dark for a long time, and as long as it sees the light, it will go crazy and lose control, and I am afraid that it will kill and injure people." ”

Xue Yang only felt that his temples were jumping suddenly, and he didn't want to say a word to this confused little girl, but King Qi looked at it thoughtfully, and he had to continue to answer: "The matter is very important, I specially sent experienced spies, and when they hear an abnormal noise, they will immediately cover the light and not disturb the big snake." ”

Chu Ning finally stopped talking, she put away her soft smile suddenly, and said coldly: "Master Xue, you said in such detail, it is estimated that many people will believe it, but I only don't understand one thing, whether what I entered and told you is the same secret passage." Why did the one I walked on have no strange aroma, no sulfur gas, and a forbidden separation from the sea of the East China Sea, so that it would not attract a big snake? ”

Xue Yang had completely understood at this time, he was surrounded by this little girl who looked smiling. King Qi's gaze was nailed to his back like a sharp sword, and Xue Yang hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty, time is urgent, I really don't have time to check all the places one by one, I have sent safe and reliable people to search separately, I don't know much about the situation in these places, and it is also ...... Forgivable circumstances. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the crown prince and Xue Yiyi arrived. When he saw Xue Yang kneeling and replying, his first reaction was that his little thing was exposed, and he almost knelt down.

Before the prince could say a word for himself, someone who looked like an internal official hurriedly walked up to King Qi and whispered a few words in King Qi's ear. I saw that King Qi's eyes suddenly showed excitement, and he said loudly: "Hurry up and call Yu'er over." ”

Jiang Chengyu has a good reputation for being suave, but the number of times Chu Ning has really seen him is limited. I saw him wearing a tight-fitting hunting suit, with a horsewhip around his right arm, walking in with a breeze, many of the young women present blushed, and even Su Jinyao lowered her head, pinching the corner of her clothes with one hand.

It was inconvenient for Ji Chongguang to show up directly, and when Chu Ning discussed this method with him, he said that he needed a spokesperson. Jiang Chengyu appeared at this time, and he was naturally the spokesperson that Ji Chongguang said. Jiang Chengyu's biological mother is the princess of the Jin Kingdom and Ji Chongguang's aunt, and the two are actually cousins. When there was a civil strife in the Jin Kingdom, the five sons of the Jin King were all killed by the favorite concubine Liji, and only Ji Chongguang fled to the Eastern Qi, and it was Jiang Chengyu who strongly advocated that the Eastern Qi take in Ji Chongguang, and even divided half of his mansion for him to live temporarily.

Behind Jiang Chengyu, there were four attendants carrying a half-human-high water bottle, which contained nearly full seawater, and a huge egg soaked in the water.

"Father," Jiang Chengyu motioned to his entourage and placed the water bottle in front of King Qi, "I originally wanted to go around the Lingque Terrace, but I happened to see this on the seaside, and the person guarding the egg was so badly injured that I had time to tell me to bring this egg to my father, so I had to send him to my residence temporarily, soak this egg in seawater, and send it over." ”

When Jiang Chengyu spoke, his eyes were always unconsciously tilted around, and according to the old men in the palace who taught etiquette, his posture was very undignified. But this tone is very popular with girls, and everyone who is a little closer to him will feel that he is secretly flirting with him.

Chu Ning didn't look at the egg that had a relationship with the future, turned to Xue Yang and said, "Master Xue, you said that your people have searched carefully, so how can you explain that this egg and the injured person are not far away, but you didn't notice it?" ”

She turned her head again and asked Jiang Chengyu: "Childe said that my companion was ambushed and seriously injured, what is the situation?" When we took the eggs, he only had some skin wounds. ”

According to the pre-determined lines, Jiang Chengyu should say next that the person guarding the egg was injured by the prince's guard, not only that, but the prince's guard also slaughtered fishermen in several nearby fishing villages, as evidenced by corpses. Next, Chu Ning can lead the topic to the relationship between Xue Yang and the crown prince, and encourage the king of Qi to screen them one by one in the army commanded by Xue Yang, as long as he finds that the prince's guards are mixed in, he can label the prince as a bad planner.

But Jiang Chengyu glanced at Chu Ning a few times, and suddenly showed a strange expression, and said: "There is a group of rogues nearby, and when they saw that he was alone, they wanted to snatch the snake egg. He took the egg all the way to hide, and went north, and when he saw that my chariot and horse had the mark of the royal family on it, he dared to ask me for help. ”

This is completely different from the predetermined.

Xue Yang's reaction was extremely fast, and he keenly grasped a bit of goodwill from Jiang Chengyu's words, and immediately said: "Yes, the people I sent were all gathered near the secret passage, and they didn't go north. Fortunately, Gongzi Yu passed by, otherwise when it gets dark, I'm afraid he will still be found by those rogues. ”

Chu Ning's face sank, and he immediately understood what Ji Chongguang meant. Jiang Chengyu's words must have come from his instructions, Jiang Chengyu has always been an idle son, and suddenly accusing the prince of misdeeds will definitely arouse the suspicion of King Qi. And he gave the Xue family a step down at this time, and he could take the opportunity to make friends with the Xue family.

She thought that the two could trust each other and cooperate with each other as they did at the bottom of the East China Sea, but she didn't expect that Ji Chongguang had already made his own calculations, pushed her in front as a target, and sat in the dark to reap the benefits.

The taste of being used by others is very bad, and it is even worse to be used by someone she is rarely willing to trust once.
