There were about ten minutes left before the dinner began, and the Lion King Makoto wanted to ask the prince a few words before the others arrived, but he didn't know how to speak. He looked at the ceiling above him for a moment, and then at the lamps that stood around the room.

However, Fenghuo, who was guarding behind him, was a little impatient, and suddenly shouted at the prince and the royal raccoon: "Ah, I really can't bear it anymore!" Prince, my father-in-law has been with you all these years, how can you deceive him like this? Trap him in injustice?! ”

The princely and royal raccoon's expression did not change significantly, and he said gently: "Later, when the others arrive, I will definitely give you an explanation." ”

"You ......"

Fenghuo still wanted to continue to vent his fullness, but Lion King Cheng raised a hand and motioned for him to stop.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and under the guidance of the demon servant, Ouyang Xiaoleng, Ouyang Yong, and Ouyang Hongye walked in. They were all dressed very formally, so that they really looked like they were coming to a banquet, and they all seemed to have smiles on their lips.

"My king! Elder Yong! Red! When the prince saw this, he quickly stood up and saluted.

"My king!" Lion King Cheng nodded and asked, "Why are only a few of you here?" ”

"Isn't that more like a family dinner?" After Ouyang Yong finished speaking, he sat down in the position next to Lion Wang Cheng.

Ouyang Xiaoleng sat next to the prince and the raccoon, and Hongye sat farther away, the atmosphere seemed to be relieved compared to the embarrassment just now, everyone first exchanged a few words with the lion king Cheng, and then Ouyang Yong suddenly asked, "We can almost start, right?" ”

"Okay, let's serve!" The lion king Cheng instructed the demon servant to go down.

At the beginning of the feast, the servants came out from behind a huge screen depicting four lions, and as if they were juggling, they brought up delicacies along with fruits and wine, which in the light of the lights made them more like exquisite crafts.

Ouyang Hongye stood up with the wine glass in front of him, and just when the prince and the beaver thought that he might be going to say something to toast, he said unexpectedly: "The raccoon, one of my subordinates was ordered to find several secret passages hidden in the royal city, and found one in your mansion. I guess that mysterious person is you, right? ”

Such a direct question surprised Wang Hou Yuxi, and he could only raise his glass and stand up and say, "That's right! ”

"That's good, who is the person who hurt her?" Ouyang Hongye continued to ask.

"This ......," Wang Hou Yuci was bent on protecting the blue bamboo.

"It seems that you are a little embarrassed, Brother Miraci?!" Ouyang Hongye didn't stop there.

"Not really." The king replied urgently.

"In any case, you answered my first question honestly, and I still want to thank you, I salute you for this glass!" After Ouyang Hongye finished speaking, he raised his head and put the preparation wine into his throat, and then sat back in his chair.

"I did it too!" The prince and the beaver also finished drinking the wine, but he did not sit down, because he knew that he did not have that opportunity for the time being.

The second one to stand up was Ouyang Xiaoleng, and just this one action made the prince feel unbearable and said, "My king, just sit down!" ”

"Soon after my father ascended the throne, you became a prince, and I have heard a great deal about you from the two elders. Sixteen years ago, you were in charge of covering the city's inhabitants to retreat to safety, even if you were seriously wounded, and held out until the last moment. I just want to ask you, why didn't you just walk away at that time? Join the opposing army alive? After Ouyang Xiaoleng sat down, he said all the words that had accumulated in his heart in the past few days.

"I know that the mistake has been made and there is no way to undo it, but I still want to try my best to save a few more lives, although no matter what I do, it will not cover my sins." Wang Hou Yu's hand holding the wine glass had begun to tremble.

"Okay, then let me ask you again, are you forced to do so? Are there any difficulties? Ouyang Xiaoliang planned to give him a chance to defend himself.

"Even so, I am willing to fall into the trap of the other party for my own selfish desires." Wang Hou Yuxi thought that he did not deserve such an opportunity.

After hearing this, Ouyang Xiaoleng also drank all the wine in his cup.

"It seems that you all want to have a good time today, so we two old people can't lose to you young people." Ouyang Yong felt that the tension around him was already on the verge of erupting, so he wanted to distract everyone's attention with Lion Wang Cheng.

"I already know the reason why you called me to the banquet today. I don't want to hide it anymore, from the moment I let go of Momiji's men, I have the consciousness to explain everything to you at any time......" The prince decided not to remain silent any longer, and he told all the reasons why he had built a secret passage in the mansion.

"Lan Ruoqing, isn't she the former proprietress of the Sparrow Hotel? Most people call her Lady Blue. "Ouyang Hongye, like everyone here, never knew that Wang Hou Yuhu had such a confidant.

"Ruoqing will also help Qingyun for the sake of her son, and the reason why Lanzhu has the intention of killing Hongye's subordinates is completely to protect me." Wang Hou Yuxi still hopes that the demon king, the fox and others will not blame Lan Ruoqing's mother and son.

"Did she tell me who her husband was?" Ouyang Yong suddenly asked him.

"I've never mentioned it, and I don't know much about him."

"But I know that there is such an incident, when someone reported a former army general, he was rescued by Qingyun's men on the way back to the royal city on the snowy night. Xue Yenian had made great contributions to him, and if the news that he was rescued by the enemy spread, it would be equivalent to directly confirming the rumors that he was a traitor, so he said to the outside world that he died unexpectedly on the way back to the royal city. This person's name is Zhuxi, and he is from Miancheng. ”

After listening to Ouyang Yong's words, the prince and the royal raccoon suddenly realized that the reason why Lan Ruoqing named her son Lanzhu was not to commemorate their acquaintance at the Sizhu Station, but simply because she missed her husband Zhuxi. couldn't help but say to himself: "It seems that the initiator of everything is Qingyun's devil!" ”

Now he can't say, is the reason why Lan Ruoqing came to Wangcheng to open a hotel just a step in Qingyun's plan? She met him again, but it was just to use his feelings to make a deal with Qingyun. He complained and felt sorry for her, complaining about her use and deception of him, and distressing because she was also a victim.

"There's also a secret passage hidden in the old warehouse of the Sparrow Inn." Ouyang Xiaoleng said tentatively.

"Sure enough......" The prince fell to his knees and thumped his chest.

"Now that the truth has been revealed, then ......" Ouyang Xiaoleng was about to put the prince under house arrest in the Chenji Palace first, when a commotion suddenly interrupted him from outside.

"Momiji, go and see what's going on?" Ouyang Yong ordered.

"Yes......"

Who knew that before Ouyang Hongye walked out of the door, the lights in the house were suddenly all extinguished, and a fishy sweet smell was immediately used, and there was an unfamiliar smell with it. It all happened so fast that they didn't have time to react, and when they re-lit the lamp in the house with their demonic powers, they found that the prince and the raccoon were gone.

"Who could have rescued him?" Ouyang Yong felt that after inhaling the gas just now, his chest began to feel stuffy.

"It's only possible that Madame Lan still has her son!" Ouyang Xiaoleng stood up angrily.

"Oh no, will Mochizuki be okay?" Ouyang Hongye exclaimed, and immediately rushed out, heading straight to the outside of the Kaiyang Palace.

Several of the guards fell to the ground, unharmed at first glance, but a closer examination revealed poisonous needles on their bodies. He was anxious because he couldn't find Mochizuki, but Mochizuki suddenly flew to his side.

As soon as he saw Ouyang Hongye, he said: "Fang just suddenly shook out two black-clothed people, and in just an instant, he poisoned all the guards with poisonous needles, I only cared about chasing one of them, and after a distance from the residence, I felt that I had been tricked, so I turned back, how is the situation in the Kaiyang Palace?" ”

"The prince and the civet were rescued by them, he has just confessed his guilt, and it was his righteous son Lan Zhu who hurt my subordinate Red Lotus that day, and this person is the son of Lady Lan."

"Damn! You don't need to ask to know, what means did Qingyun use to force the prince and the royal raccoon to obey him? ”

"It's a long story, and it involves an unsolved case many years ago. Do you remember Bamboo Creek? ”

"Bamboo Creek...... Oh, that young man from Miancheng, because of his military exploits, he was promoted from a small soldier to an indispensable general in the army, and he was deeply loved by the first king Xueye, and I still heard some of his things. Just when Xueye wanted to take him well, he still decided to return to Miancheng. ”

"Lady Lan is his surviving person, but Zhuxi was rescued by Qingyun's men on the way back to the royal city for investigation. Xue Ye remembered his past exploits and decided to hide the news, only to inform him that he had died accidentally on the road, but someone told Mrs. Lan that he was ordered to be executed on the road by Xue Ye. ”

"So that Mrs. Lan is here to avenge her husband? Then everything is clear. But I can't figure it out, since the secret passage has been exposed, why do they still want to save the prince and the raccoon? ”

"Maybe it's to save him, there is still affection between them."

"Where are they going to take him?"

"Maybe...... Follow this clue to find Qingyun's hideout. As Ouyang Hongye was speaking, the nerves in his head suddenly jumped and hurt, making his whole body shake with it.

"What's wrong with you, Momiji?" Mochizuki asked with concern.

"Mrs. Lan's mother and son are both good at using poison, just now they released toxic gas into the house, I'm afraid I inhaled some, it's not a big deal."

"Alas, how many people are still being used by Qingyun in this royal city?"

"Qingyun is good at using other people's emotions to achieve his own goals, and those of us who can't completely let go of love and hatred can be caught by him." What Ouyang Hongye said was meaningful.

Mochizuki thought of the little snow rabbit, if Qingyun had threatened him with an antidote, what would he do? In order to save her, he is also likely to betray the king whom he has decided to be loyal to in the first place, turning his back on his intention to protect the Great Friendship with his life. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be afraid for a while.
