Chapter 183: Retribution

In an instant, Chu Muzhi's eyes crossed countless undercurrents, but they only disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, as if those undercurrents just now were just some illusions.

"Did the Fourth Emperor Brother misunderstand something?" Chu Muzhi's eyebrows smiled lightly, and looked at Chu Yan's way with a smile.

"Was it just a misunderstanding?" Chu Yanzhi also raised his eyebrows, looking at Chu Muzhi's eyes full of smiles, but with a hint of sarcasm.

Chu Mu's eyes flickered, then he turned his face, reached out and picked up the teapot on the table and slowly poured a cup of tea for himself, and at the end, he said, "Since the fourth emperor brother already knows, then I have nothing to hide." In fact, before the seventh sister-in-law gave birth, she had someone send me a letter asking me to come to Chao'an Temple quickly, saying that there was something important to discuss, and after I came, the seventh sister-in-law told me that she suspected that the seventh brother was still alive, so I asked me to send someone to Suyang again to find out. Speaking of this, Chu Mu paused, raised his eyes to look at Chu Yanzhi again, and said, "Fourth brother, you also know that the seventh sister-in-law is really affectionate to the seventh brother, and I really couldn't bear to stimulate her at that time, so I can only make this decision." ”

"Is it really what you say?" Chu Yanzhi looked at Chu Muzhi with a smile, but his dark eyes were telling Chu Muzhi that he didn't believe what he said.

"Otherwise, what do the four emperor brothers think?" Chu Muzhi asked with a smile.

Chu Yanzhi's eyebrows smiled lightly, and suddenly smiled, he reached out and raised the teacup and took another sip of flowers leisurely, and then said, "If I remember correctly, the eighth brother has always trusted the seventh brother the most, why did Xiwei let you go to Suyang to find out what was going on this time, but you didn't go?" Don't you want to know if your most trusted seventh brother is really alive? ”

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Chu Muzhi's face gradually narrowed, and a coldness faintly condensed between his eyebrows, "Seventh brother, is he still alive, who else in this world knows better than the Fourth Emperor Brother!" ”

Chu Yanzhi turned the teacup in his hand, staring intently at the painted bluegrass on the teacup, his dark eyes were unfathomable, "Why, I always feel that I underestimate you a little?" ”

He didn't understand who you were referring to, but Chu Muzhi knew that he must be among you.

"Does the Fourth Emperor Brother have any other teachings?" Chu Muzhi looked at Chu Yanzhi sideways, and a smile appeared at the corner of his lips, but this smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.

Chu Yanzhi put the teacup back on the table steadily, brushed his sleeves, and stood up calmly, "No." The hour is not early, so I will not disturb the rest of the eighth brother. With that, he smiled, and then walked out calmly.

The cold wind was howling outside, and I didn't know how many snowflakes were falling.

It wasn't until Chu Yanzhi had been gone for a long time that Chu Muzhi's clenched hand in his sleeve slowly loosened.

He must have found out, right?

I don't know if I can hide it from him this time......

Leaving Chu Muzhi's room, Chu Yanzhi went back to his room, and as soon as he saw him come in, Gu Cheng, who was still standing on the chair, stood up suddenly, "Lord Wang, are you back?" ”

Gu Cheng is the son of Gu An, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army and the most trusted Yan Yunwei who took over the emperor, Gu An's wife and concubine gave birth to a total of seven daughters, and Gu Cheng was born from Gu An's last concubine, although he was a concubine, but he was his only son. Although Gu Cheng has been walking birds for fun all these years, Gu An has brought him into Yan Yunwei since he was a child, although he has not grown much, but in the end, he still got some true inheritance from Gu An and learned good martial arts. And Chu Yanzhi used to be the deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army, and he naturally had a good relationship with Gu Cheng.

"How? King Qin, can he be recruited? Gu Cheng looked at Chu Yandao with great interest.

Chu Yanzhi walked to the couch and sat down, raised his eyes and glanced at Gu Cheng, "Do you think he would be so stupid?" ”

"Lord Wang, but just now in the forest, I heard with my own ears what he commanded the secret guard! There is no doubt that those secret guards near Chao'an Temple were sent by him. Gu Cheng also followed and sat down beside Chu Yanzhi, and said eagerly.

Chu Yanzhi lowered his head, reached out and touched the jasper wrench on his index finger, for a long time, without saying a word.

After waiting for a while, he didn't see any reaction from Chu Yanzhi, and Gu Cheng couldn't sit still, "Lord Wang, you have something to say." ”

During the years he was in Yanyunwei, although others treated him politely for his father Gu An's sake, no one behind his back said that he was a gentleman. It was probably because of these relationships that he got closer to Chu Yanzhi Lu Haiyang.

"What do you want this king to say?" Chu Yanzhi raised his eyes and looked at Gu Cheng and said lightly.

Gu Cheng was stunned, "Naturally, it's King Qin?" Lord, what are you going to do with him? If it is according to me......" Gu Cheng smiled coldly, raised his hand to his neck, and a trace of cold murderous aura crossed his eyes.

This King of Qin clearly harbors evil intentions, and since King Yan has been eliminated, there is no need to keep him. Isn't there a saying that when you cut the grass, you have to get rid of the roots?

Chu Yanzhi glanced at Gu Cheng sideways, and raised his eyebrows, "This is your idea?" Do you think that the water in the capital is not mixed enough? Do you want to stir it up again? ”

"Lord ......"

"Do you think Chu Muzhi is a nameless junior on the street? I only think about solving everything by killing, if it's really that simple, why do I have to endure it for so many years. Besides, you don't know that now is the opportunity to establish the crown prince, if something happens to King Qin at this time, do you think those old old-fashioned people in the court will not be suspicious of me? Chu Yanzhi said coldly.

After saying these words, Gu Cheng's face was red, and after a while, he said, "Then according to the prince's meaning, what should I do now?" ”

Chu Muzhi is clearly planning something in secret, so he can't let it go.

Chu Yanzhi touched the hand of the jade wrench and paused slightly, "Send someone to keep an eye on him first, there is news from Haiyang." ”

Gu Cheng shook his head.

Tianxiang Pavilion is the most famous green building on the bank of the Qinhuai River, the girls in it are all talented and outstanding, especially the Yijin girl inside is outstanding, not only the appearance is gorgeous, the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all fine, and the princes and grandsons who come here are endless every night.

It's just that tonight, no matter how many people come to bet on Miss Yijin's beauty, they are all blocked back by the old bustard with a smile - tonight, Miss Yijin already has a guest.

At this time, in the boudoir of Miss Yijin of Tianxiang Pavilion, the sound of the pipa accompanied by a soft voice slowly sounded.

The peach is dying, scorching its glory.

The son is home, and it is appropriate for him to live in his room.

The peach is dying, and there is a fact.

The son is home, and his family room is appropriate.

The peach is dying, and its leaves are blooming.

The son is home, and it is suitable for his family.

Since there are beauties to accompany him, there are joys to be enjoyed, but the man sitting in front of Yijin has his eyebrows tightly locked, and he looks worried.

Seeing this, Chen Mubai on the side waved his hand at Yijin.

Yijin understood, got up and blessed Chen Mubai, and then retreated.

"Zimu, the matter has come to this point, it's useless for you to worry, it's better to think about what to do next." Chen Mubai poured tea while looking at the absent-minded man next to him.

That's right, this man is not an outsider, it is Chu Xizhi who has just left the capital.

"What you said is light, of course you don't care if she's not your wife." Chu Xizhi's sword eyebrows were raised, and there was a trace of resentment in his ink-colored eyes.

Seeing it like this, Chen Mubai touched the tip of his nose, "I'm really wronged, it's true that Xiwei is not my wife, but she is also my cousin!" It's not that you don't know, she is the only cousin of our Chen family, and my father thinks she more than me. ”

Listening to Chen Mubai's words, Chu Xizhi's face became darker and darker, "Since you value her so much, how can you bear to throw her there?" Did you know she gave birth prematurely a few days ago? If I were by her side......"

After the words, Chu Xizhi couldn't say any more.

What kind of husband is he, throwing his wife in danger, and he can't even stay by her side when she gives birth! It's ridiculous, he also swore that he would protect her for the rest of her life.

Seeing that Chu Xizhi's mood was so depressed, Chen Mubai sighed, and then said, "Zimu, this is Xiwei's own choice. She's so smart and smart, even if it's for you, she'll be safe. If you are really good for her, you should cheer up and plan early, so that you can be with their mother and son as soon as possible. ”

Chu Xizhi still had a calm face and did not speak.

Chen Mubai's eyes flickered, and the corners of his mouth suddenly pulled out a little smile, "Speaking of which, if someone hadn't been the first to get there, right now, Xiwei wouldn't be who the lady was?" My father has always hoped to hire Xiwei for my second brother, but he didn't expect to kill you halfway through, not to mention that people were robbed, and even half of our Chen family's property was filled in. I knew that you looked like this now, so I might as well let my second brother rob my relatives. ”

"You're sure he's got it." Chu Xizhi rolled his eyes impatiently at Chen Mubai.

Chen Mubai was amused by Chu Xizhi's move, and finally calmed down, he pulled the corners of his mouth, raised his hand, and motioned for Chu Xizhi to drink tea, "Let's get down to business now, you can't go to Wucheng right now, are you planning to stay in this Tianxiang Pavilion?" Or ......"

Chu Xizhi raised his eyes and glanced at Chen Mubai lightly, "Say, what identity did you arrange for me." ”

Chen Mubai smiled, "Don't worry, this identity will definitely not insult you." ”

Chu Xizhi twisted his eyebrows, knowing that the identity that Chen Mubai arranged for him was definitely not bad, but he was not in the mood to care about this, at this time, his heart was full of eyes and all remembered Xiwei, who was thousands of miles away.

I don't know what happened to her now?

Chu Yanzhi's thoughts about her were already clear, he felt as if his heart was being tightly held by an invisible palm, uncomfortable and panicked, he was really afraid that the tragedy of his previous life would repeat itself in front of him again.

Micro ......

"By the way, I heard that the one from Yihong Courtyard is dying, you see......" Chen Mubai seemed to suddenly remember something, took a sip of tea, and raised his head to look at Chu Xidao.

"Your friend?" Chu Xizhi raised his eyes and glanced at Chen Mubai, and said indifferently.

'Poof' The tea that Chen Mubai had just drunk squirted out, "Who is good!" I said you did it on purpose! Chen Mubai glared angrily at Chu Xidao.

It must have been that he had just whispered in his ear that his father intended to hire Xiwei for his second brother, and he took revenge on him like this.

Chu Xizhi raised his eyebrows without smiling, "How come?" I'm not as good as Chen Gongzi, this Qinhuai River is like my own backyard, I have old acquaintances everywhere, so I naturally don't know who Chen Gongzi is talking about. ”

Being squeezed by Chu Xizhi like this, Chen Mubai really vomited a mouthful of old blood, and he couldn't care about going around in circles with Chu Xizhi at the moment, so he said directly, "It's Xiao Xile!" It is said that he has flower willow disease, and he can't survive. ”

"Can you tell me if she can live or not?" Chu Xizhi raised his eyebrows and said.

Chen Mubai couldn't wait to fall to the ground, and at this time he deeply realized what King Chu Muzhi of Qin said, if you really offend anyone, don't offend King Yan, because he will repay him, and he always vomits so much that you can't wait to fall a thunderbolt on your head and fall yourself to the ground.

Catching a glimpse of Chen Mubai's expression of wanting to die, Chu Xizhi's mood after being depressed for a long time finally improved a little. He stretched out his hand to pick up the cup of tea that Chen Mubai had poured for him, and took a leisurely sip, "Find a doctor to take a look for her, after all, she must have met your Chen Gongzi, and it's not good to see death and not save it, right?" ”
