Chapter 251: Visitors from Outside the Mountains (2)
"I wonder how you got your book?" Zhu Xiang asked with a smile hidden in his face.
It was Yunchen who shook out the matter of hiding books in order to save Queen Jiang! Yuan Che found that he underestimated Yunchen's ability, and underestimated the relationship between him and Queen Jiang's sister and brother. Yunchen has to save people in a situation where he can't protect himself, Rao is Yuan Che and him are opponents of each other, and they can't help but look at him with admiration at this moment!
Yuan Che could almost imagine how King Ning would be furious. He set up such a big bureau, he was attacked and disappeared, and he came to find the book collection without telling the king, and it was impossible for Ren to show mercy to his own grandfather.
He's guilty of deceit!
He had planned to hide the fact that he had found the books, but now that he was in the situation...... He decided to be honest in exchange for a lighter punishment.
So, he also replied with a smile and a knife: "Don't hide it from General Zhu, the collection of books in the previous dynasty was found, and there were five boxes. But I'm too weak and injured to open the box. ”
"You found it?" Zhu Xiang pretended to be surprised: "Where is the thing?" ”
"This ......" Yuan Che looked at the hundreds of guards outside the cave and said in a low voice, "Can these people believe it?" It's not going to leak the news, is it? ”
Zhu Xiang immediately patted his chest: "Don't worry, the prince can rest assured, the two hundred people outside are all the king's cronies, which is enough to be trusted." ”
"Then you come with your ear, and I will listen to you." Yuan Che hooked his finger towards Zhu Xiang.
The latter hesitated for a moment, but still stretched his neck to his ear, and Yuan Che didn't intend to lie, so he said: "The collection of books is all ......."
"Wait!" Wei Nong suddenly spoke to stop it.
This voice was too cold, Yuan Che, Zhu Xiang, and Wang Tuo all looked at her together, waiting for the following.
Wei Nong stuck his hands on the sword bag of the Shocking Sword on his waist, and smiled slightly: "General Zhu wants to know the whereabouts of the box, there is no problem." But I have two conditions. ”
Zhu Xiang's eyes narrowed, but he smiled: "This is the queen mother of Yan Kingdom?" ”
Yuan Che immediately answered: "He is also the life-saving benefactor of this son." ”
"I'm a deposed queen, and I can't afford to be called that by General Zhu." The slight expression remains unchanged.
Yuan Che hurriedly said: "General Zhu can call her 'Night Girl', um." ”
Wei Nong glanced at him when he heard this, which means: Shizi, you really save face for me.
Zhu Xiang also admonished: "Okay, night girl, I don't know what conditions you have?" ”
Wei Nong came back to his senses: "First, before coming to Peacock Mountain, I had already made an agreement with the prince that thirty of the forty-nine books in the collection were to be given to me. This time, the son of the world was in distress, and I sacrificed my life to save him, and he promised me twelve more copies. ”
Wei Nong paced in front of Zhu Xiang as he spoke, and asked with a smile: "I don't know if these forty-two books are collected, is King Ning willing to keep his promise and let me take them?" ”
Zhu Xiang didn't know what aspects these forty-nine books contained, but he only knew that all of them were unique and priceless treasures. At this moment, when he heard Wei Nong's words, he naturally became angry, and sneered: "What a big appetite, forty-nine books, you alone have to take forty-two?" ”
Wei Nong raised his eyebrows: "If you don't believe it, you can ask the prince to see if what I said is true or false." ”
Zhu Xiangsui looked at Yuan Che, who immediately answered: "That's true. ”
When Zhu Xiang heard this, he naturally suspected that the two were conspiring, but he didn't dare to get angry at Yuan Che, so he had to vent his anger on Wei Nong: "Finding books is the king's will, and no one has the right to call the shots." If you want to collect books, you can ask for them in front of the king, but I still advise the night girl to know the current affairs, and not to ask the lion to open his mouth. ”
The warning meaning of his words was very obvious, and he originally thought that Wei Nong should know the difficulty and retreat, but unexpectedly, she asked with a smile: "Since General Zhu said that it is your king's will to search for books." Where is the will? Can you show us that? Otherwise, what you say with yellow mouth and white teeth is nothing, and the son of the world can't believe it, and I can't believe it as a foreign woman. ”
As soon as she said this, she immediately woke up Yuan Che, and the latter also became confident: "Not bad! Since General Zhu was sent by Grandfather Wang to help me, do you have a will in your hands? Or maybe give me a token! ”
It's hard for a strong man! For a secret act like a book search, who would really make a will? Isn't this going to make the world know? In fact, King Ning secretly sent him over this time under the pretext of helping Queen Jiang quell the chaos. Where can there be any will and token?
Zhu Xiang was so angry that he choked up, but he smiled on his face: "The prince of the world is really good at laughing, isn't my two hundred guards the best proof?" They often walk in front of the emperor, and you must be familiar with them. Why don't I call a few people in for you to see? ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed outside the cave, and the two hundred guards blocked the entrance of the cave with brushes, and the armor was dazzlingly reflective. Yuan Che waved his hand playfully: "No need! Whatever General Zhu says, it's what it is! ”
Wei Nong immediately sang with a white face: "The prince can't say that. I don't know about this General Zhu, but as he said, your king sent troops to Jiang to help quell the chaos, maybe he accompanied the army to quell the chaos, and somewhere did he learn about your whereabouts, and deliberately pretended to pass on the holy decree to rob things? ”
Wei Nong said unceremoniously, Zhu Xiang was naturally furious when he heard this, and pointed at her and scolded: "You ignorant queen queen, how can the Son of Heaven come out to calm the chaos with the army?" ”
"But I, the queen of the waste, have never seen the Son of Heaven's guards come out to look for people and things." Wei Nong was not provoked at all, and stretched out two fingers neatly: "Now there are only two possibilities. First, General Zhu was really trusted by your king, and he was tasked with the secret task of finding the prince and the collection of books; Second, you are lying, you are not the commander of the Praetorian Guard at all, but you have been released, taking advantage of Jiang's civil strife to falsely pass on the holy decree, and you want to fish in troubled waters. ”
"Who do you say has bad intentions?" Zhu Xiang glared at her angrily, and almost stepped forward to make a move.
Yuan Che hurriedly came out to play a round: "Wei Nong, how can you doubt General Zhu?" He pretended to retort to her solemnly: "Last year's Yunchen incident was exposed by General Zhu, so loyal to the world can be learned, how can you say that he falsely preached the holy decree, had ill intentions, and fished in troubled waters?" ”
"Shizi, the heart of guarding against people is indispensable," Wei Nong sang and harmonized with him, "After all, they are outnumbered, and we are outnumbered." If you tell him where the books are hidden, it is very likely that he will kill people, take them for himself, and then go back to tell your grandfather that he has not found anything. Didn't you die unjustly? ”
After that, she didn't give Zhu Xiang a chance to get angry, and continued in one breath: "Okay! Even if General Zhu is indeed loyal to your grandfather, what will he do to you? If you had worked so hard to find the book, and you were even seriously injured for it, if he wanted to take credit and kill you, and finally lied that he had found the book, you would have been eaten by the wild beasts of the mountains, then wouldn't you have died more unjustly? ”
Yuan Che never thought that his slightly thick mouth would be so clever! In the past, although she always blocked him from speaking, she was always concise and sarcastic. But this time, hey! That's brilliant!
He was overjoyed in his heart, but his face pretended to be sad and hesitant, as if he was really moved by the slight words.
When Zhu Xiang heard this, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, and pulled out his sword and pointed at Wei Nong, but his words were said to Yuan Che: "Shizi, don't listen to her gossip to confuse the public!" She is not only provoking the relationship between you and me, but also provoking you and the king! Don't trust her! ”
In fact, Yuan Che knew in his heart that this was indeed what King Ning meant, but he roughly understood Wei's intentions and concerns, so he pretended not to hear anything.
And Wei Nong, looking at Zhu Xiang, who was furious, laughed again: "Why does General Zhu have such a big anger? I'm not Yunchen, and I don't have three heads and six arms, is it worth your troubles? ”
"You!" Zhu Xiang gritted his teeth and said, "No matter who you are, I have to kill you today, it's a big deal to go back and ask the king for guilt!" ”
As he spoke, he was about to stab him with a sword.
Yuan Che was startled when he heard this, and was about to stop him, when he saw that Wang Tuo had already dodged and ran over, stretched out his hand to block Zhu Xiang's saber, and still had the same coffin face: "General Zhu, the identity of the Dusk clan after the abolition is special, you have to think twice." ”
Wei thick straightened his hair, made an arrogant gesture cooperatively, and said with a proud smile: "Guard Wang, let him do it." As long as he dares to hurt me, do you see if he can get out of Jiang Country alive? King Ning couldn't save him. ”
"Hmph, a wasted queen, don't be ashamed!" Zhu Xiang's hand was firmly held by Wang Tuo, and the sword couldn't be pierced at all, but he calmed down a little because of this, knowing that he was reckless.
Wei Nong looked at him more provocatively, and replied: "Although I am the queen of the abolition, I am also a relative of Yanwai, the daughter of the eldest princess, and the cousin of the regent. Oh yes, I forgot to tell you, I have a lot of connections with Momen, and your king's grandson is my senior brother. Queen Jiang is also my dear friend. ”
Wei Nong flicked the tip of his sword with his fingers as he spoke, and sighed: "General Zhu wants to kill me to vent his anger?" OK. As long as you are not afraid of Jiang Guo's poison, not afraid of Momen's pursuit, not afraid of Wang Taisun's investigation, and not afraid of our country's regent Aimei's heart......"
After saying a word, he deliberately took a step forward and stood less than a foot away from the tip of the sword.
She said four "not afraid" in a row, but in fact, everything Zhu Xiang was afraid of. He couldn't help but think of King Ning's explanation before leaving, as well as Qi Zhan's special instructions, all of which ordered him not to embarrass the Hou Du clan. King Ning said more clearly - "If there is no change in the Yan Kingdom, the Dusk clan will be returned immediately; If Yan Guo is restless, he will take her hostage, but he must treat her politely. ”
Thinking of this, Zhu Xiang secretly rejoiced, and couldn't help but glance at Wang Tuo gratefully. But if he wants to apologize to Wei Nong in such a situation, he really loses face, especially if the other party is the first to speak out.
Fortunately, Yuan Che made a peacemaker: "One of you is an important minister in the court, and the other is my life-saving benefactor, so noisy and noisy, this makes me very embarrassed to be caught in it!" ”
Zhu Xiang got down the stairs at this time, and put away his sword with a cold snort: "Since the prince has spoken, how dare Weichen embarrass you." ”
Wei Nong also sighed helplessly: "Didn't I just in case? You can't tell him the place where the books are stored so easily, can you? ”
"So what do you say?" Yuan Che spread his hands and threw the problem to Wei Nong.
"Shizi, how about this, let General Zhu send us down the mountain first, once you meet with Ning Jun and confirm that what he said is true, let's tell us about the place where the books are hidden?" The slightly thick eyes shone in the firelight, and he smiled calmly.
