96. Barbecue

On the second day, Celie told her what she had done before. But to the surprise of Zhao Yuan and Mason, it was not the killer hired by Xili herself, but the killer who took the initiative to find her.

"After you left that day, a man in black suddenly appeared in my room. He told me that the Ninth Princess of the Fox Clan planned to marry His Second Highness, and he could help me stop this marriage. ”

"He said that at that time, they will pretend to assassinate the Second Highness, so that the Second Highness will suffer some minor injuries, and he will have to recuperate for a period of time before he can take the Quenching Pill, so that I will have the opportunity to secretly replace the Quenching Pill. When I become a berserker, the fox princess will naturally not be afraid. ”

"But I didn't expect that they were really going to assassinate His Royal Highness, at that time I was faintly uneasy, and I couldn't help but go over and take a look in advance, only to find that His Royal Highness's life was hanging by a thread......" Speaking of this, Celie showed a look of fear, and looked at the second prince's eyes full of guilt.

"Then you didn't ask them why they were helping you?" asked Mason.

Xili nodded: "I naturally asked, they said that they were hired by the fox clan, in order to let the ninth princess of the fox clan marry the eldest prince, because some people hate the ninth princess and don't want her to get a good marriage." ”

Zhao Yuan secretly said that it was really a lover's eyes: "How can marrying the second prince be a good marriage, but marrying the eldest prince is not good?"

Xili pouted and said: "Originally, the eldest prince is violent by nature, so happy, likes to hunt for beauty, although there are no concubines, but there are already more than a dozen concubines in the family!"

Unexpectedly, Mason also nodded and agreed: "Although it seems that the eldest prince is infinitely beautiful and powerful now, the eldest prince relies on his huge maternal power, and most of his fierce generals are also begged for a lot of money, and there are few loyal subordinates." In the long run, His Royal Highness still has a good chance of winning the throne. ”

The two analyzed the eldest prince from the perspective of temperament and strength, so that Zhao Yuan could understand it thoroughly. Although the lion king said that he would let the ninth princess of the fox clan choose a husband by herself, it seems that as long as the ninth princess is not a fool, she will definitely choose the second prince as her husband, and it is no wonder that Xili panicked and did something stupid.

"Can you describe the appearance of those men in black?" Zhao Yuan asked suddenly.

"En......" Xili thought for a while, but finally shook her head: "His whole person is shrouded in a cloak, and he has no breath at all, except for reaching out and taking out the fox token to confirm his identity, he can't find any traces." ”

The second prince was slightly shocked: "Such a professional mercenary, I'm afraid it has a lot of background." ”

There was a faint sneer on Zhao Yuan's face. He glanced at Mason, who was lost in thought, took out a crystal and said to Celie, "If the man in black comes to you again, let me know." ”

Celie nodded, and meekly took the crystal. She is now very in awe of Zhao Yuan, although Zhao Yuan caught her red-handed yesterday, but it is precisely because of this that she can be open and honest with the second prince and get a happy ending. So her little resentment towards Zhao Yuan also dissipated, leaving only deep awe and gratitude.

"Celie, why did you just take the Quenching Pill yesterday, Liam and I have been away for several days. Zhao Yuan suddenly thought of this stubble.

Xi Li smiled slightly and glanced at the second prince beside her: "The second highness has not recovered before, and I am afraid that I will not feel well after taking the quenching pill and will not be able to take care of the second highness, so I have been dragging it out." Yesterday, His Royal Highness was in good health and began to receive guests, so I was relieved. ”

After listening to Celie's words, everyone present was silent for a long time. Mason patted Xili on the shoulder and didn't say anything, but there was a look of affirmation in his eyes, Zhao Yuan knew that after today, Xili really obtained the qualification to enter the inner circle of the second prince.

"Now that my body is well, today I will go and clarify with my father that His Excellency Zhao Yuan is not an assassin, and I will return your innocence. The second prince said sincerely.

Mason smiled slightly: "Second Highness, don't worry, haven't you noticed, now the rumors in the market have been calmed down, as long as His Majesty the Lion King doesn't pursue it, and you don't mention it, these rumors will naturally be self-defeating." ”

Zhao Yuan also nodded: "No one can do anything to me, it's better to see what tricks they have." ”

When the second prince heard this, he sighed heavily, and said, "Thanks to you this time, I was able to escape this catastrophe, if it weren't for the help of His Excellency Zhao Yuan, Mason and Liam would probably have lost their lives." Even if no one instigates Celie, I'm in a very bad situation. ”

Zhao Yuan smiled heartily: "This is still the second prince, you are blessed with a great fate, in this way, the person who gave Mason the fake news of the ruins and the group that assassinated you may be in the same group, and the purpose is I'm afraidβ€”" Zhao Yuan didn't finish speaking, but everyone was already shocked into a cold sweat.

Liam had been in a daze beside him, but when he heard this, he suddenly came to his senses: "Yes, Second Highness, if we all die in the ruins, and no one will bring you back the Quenching Pill, Xili will die directly because of the gullibility of the villain." At that time, the ninth princess of the fox clan will have to marry the eldest prince!"

Liam's words stunned everyone, they didn't expect this kind of thinking. Everyone was concerned about what damage these people's actions would cause to the second prince, but they ignored the final result, and it was really the same as what the man in black told Xili, so that the fox princess had to marry the eldest prince.

"This is a plan to kill two birds with one stone! What a ruthless heart, the mastermind behind the scenes, except for the fox clan who has always been cunning and resourceful, I really can't think of anyone else!" Mason said hatefully.

Cunning and resourceful, I am afraid that you have forgotten a certain clan on the other side of the ocean, Zhao Yuan said in his heart.

"Looks like we need to find out what the fox princess is, what secrets does she have, and let her opponent use such a poisonous trick against her. After Mason finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Zhao Yuan and showed an ambiguous smile.

Zhao Yuan's scalp was numb when he saw his smile, Mason walked over and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Now that our Second Highness has a family, Liam is an elm head, and I have a lot of affairs to deal with, this fox princess, it depends on Your Excellency Zhao Yuan!"

Zhao Yuan: "......"

It's autumn season, and the animals in the hunting grounds are all out to forage for food, hoping to stock up more fat to survive the harsh winter that follows.

I only went back yesterday, and today Zhao Yuan came to the royal hunting ground with Liam. Liam complained as he pitched his tent: "If I knew I wouldn't have dismantled it, I would have to reinstall it again." Zhao Yuan sat on the side, looking at the flock of birds hovering in the clear sky.

According to Mason's news, the princess of the fox clan will stay in the royal hunting ground for the past three days, and the eldest prince will definitely go to offer courtesy during the period, after all, the beauty of the fox clan is famous, and the identity of the fox princess is so noble, the eldest prince must want to get the heart of the beauty before the second prince.

Zhao Yuan has a bitter face at this time, he himself has no experience in love, he holds the game every day, and what means do he have to get close to the ninth princess of the fox clan. Fortunately, they also crossed paths last time, and now they can say two words when they meet.

The royal hunting ground is very vast, and if it wasn't for the crescent moon fox that smelled the aromatic smell of barbecue and ran to Zhao Yuan's vicinity, I am afraid that the two sides would not meet once in ten days and half a month.

So this time, Zhao Yuan planned to repeat his old tricks. He didn't sit idle, and took advantage of the time for Liam to set up his tent and set up the camp, and quickly shot a pheasant and a wild deer back.

Poor Liam had just finished the camp when he was rushed by Zhao Yuan to cook again.

"We obviously came out after lunch, why do you want me to cook again!" Liam shouted angrily, but was ruthlessly suppressed by Zhao Yuan: "If you are told to cook, you will cook, have you forgotten how Mason explained when he went out?"

Liam pursed his lips aggrievedly, Mason had told him a thousand times before, only one sentence: Everything is under the orders of His Excellency Zhao Yuan. Although he was ignorant and reckless, he was still very convinced of Mason, so he had to roll up his sleeves and go to the barbecue again.

"This deer is enough for us to eat, so why do we have to hunt a chicken?" Liam wondered.

Zhao Yuan chuckled: "This chicken is not for us. ”

Liam didn't understand what he was saying, didn't bother to ask any more, and buried himself in the ingredients in his hands.

In just half an hour, there was a burst of barbecue aroma wafting into the air, Zhao Yuan swallowed his saliva, he was obviously full at noon, but now he smelled the tempting aroma of barbecue, and his stomach rumbled again.

Without Liam to say, he took out a thin dagger and cut a large piece of meat from the roast deer, the venison was still moistened with oil, and the juice flowed down when he bit it, Zhao Yuan's tongue was hot and numb, and he was stunned to rely on his strong recovery ability to eat the venison. Zhao Yuan's posture was Rao, and Liam, who had always thought he was brave, couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly when he saw it.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew inexplicably, blowing the fire with the roasted chicken a little bit at once, Liam hurriedly turned his head to cook the chicken, and he didn't have time to watch Zhao Yuan eat.

Zhao Yuan smiled secretly, his spiritual power had already locked on the position of the ninth princess, and this gust of wind sent the tempting aroma of roast chicken all the way over, so that they would not be able to come.

Sure enough, only for a moment. A familiar little fox probed his brain in the grass on the side, Zhao Yuan smiled slightly, beckoned to it, the little fox didn't know if he really knew Zhao Yuan, or took a fancy to the roast chicken in his hand, and actually slipped to Zhao Yuan's feet, and his black eyes looked at the roast chicken in Zhao Yuan's hand in a daze, and he almost drooled.

Zhao Yuan and Yan Yue tore off a chicken leg and put it in front of the little fox, the little fox snorted excitedly, and then buried his head in the serious gnaw, the little appearance is very cute.

After a while, a series of horses' hooves sounded near the camp, and the ninth princess followed the little fox all the way to this side, and she didn't feel anything at first, but the closer she got to it, the more she felt a mouth-watering aroma lingering on the tip of her nose, and it became more and more intense.
