Chapter 457: Hit a rake

Dragon City and Changyi City are the strongest of all the city-states. It is normal for Dongfang Jue to interfere with Longcheng from buying grain from other cities, but from Huo Dongpeng's eyes, Long Tingxiao can see that things are not so simple, although he can guess some: "It seems that what Dongfang Jue said is related to me."

"Yes, the Eastern Lord said that the Dragon Monarch has a mind to dominate the world." When Huo Dongpeng said this, his eyes never left Long Tingxiao for a moment.

Long Tingxiao seemed to have heard someone say this, and his expression did not change at all. It was Xiao Mei'er who laughed "poof": "This Dongfang Jue's face is thick enough!"

Huo Dongpeng saw the calm Long Tingxiao and said, "Doesn't the Dragon Monarch have anything to say?"

Long Tingxiao said at this time: "What does Monarch Huo want me to say?" Do you want to listen to my justification or righteous words? It doesn't matter if I have this in mind or not, what matters is how the two monarchs see me? ”

He Weijie, who rarely spoke, said: "Monarch Gu and Huo naturally believe that the Dragon Monarch does not have such a big heart, but one of the things that the Eastern Lord said is that Lonely wants to confirm it with the Dragon Monarch."

He Weijie also admitted that he had met Dongfang Jue.

"If I guessed correctly, what Monarch He wants me to confirm is that there is gunpowder in Dragon City." Long Tingxiao said firmly.

"And what about it?"

Huo Dongpeng and He Weijie looked at Long Tingxiao with solemn expressions.

Long Tingxiao said: "My queen mentioned this matter to the envoys of the cities and states on the birthday of the queen mother last year. Since the two monarchs asked again, I will talk to the two monarchs about this gunpowder. ”

Zhang Mengjie was also forced by the situation to say it so casually, most people were skeptical, and most people didn't believe it if they didn't see the real thing. The people who were there at the time just listened to it as an interesting story. So this matter has not been exaggerated, Huo Dongpeng and He Weijie, Murong Xue's birthday last year, did not participate, and it is reasonable that the two of them do not know.

In the eager eyes of Huo Dongpeng and He Weijie, Long Tingxiao continued: "Even if I don't say this, Dongfang Jue doesn't say it, the two monarchs will know sooner or later, because this gunpowder is no longer a secret. This time Dragon City cooperated with the natural disaster of the Jade Yarn Country, and Long Cheng used gunpowder. The power of this gunpowder was witnessed by the people of Mincheng and Biancheng, so I couldn't hide it even if I wanted to. What's more, I didn't plan to hide it, otherwise I wouldn't have let the queen play up this secret matter of the Dragon City royal family at the queen mother's birthday banquet last year, and I wouldn't have used it in this natural disaster. ”

"I heard that a few pieces of gunpowder can destroy a city?" Huo Dongpeng asked.

Long Tingxiao said "gracious" and said: "The two monarchs don't have to worry, unless it has to be, I will uphold the ancestors' teachings and only use it to protect the important things in Dragon City, otherwise this gunpowder would have appeared in the frontier outside the Saiwai Frontier."

Huo Dongpeng listened to Long Tingxiao's reassuring and said: "Lone didn't believe in the Dragon Monarch, otherwise Lone wouldn't have made this trip."

Long Tingxiao smiled and said, "I know that the two monarchs just want me to give me a reassurance."

Huo Dongpeng and He Weijie's worries made Xiao Mei'er on the side think of the suffering that Mrs. Xiao has suffered over the years because of Dongfang Jue, and she said angrily for a while: "It is better for the two monarchs to guard against the emperor than to guard against Dongfang Jue, but I am afraid that it is Dongfang Jue who has the heart to dominate the world!"

Xiao Meier's gaffe made Huo Dongpeng and He Weijie see that she and Dongfang Jue had something to do with it. Although the two of them were suspicious of Dongfang Jue's behavior afterwards, they still couldn't believe it in their hearts, He Weijie said with a hint of uncertainty: "Miss Mei'er is the queen's sister-in-law, and this heart is naturally towards Longcheng." Although the prince of the East has the intention to slander the Dragon Monarch, Miss Mei'er should not be alarmist. ”

Xiao Mei'er looked at He Weijie and sneered: "If there is no real evidence, I will not be honest and slander others like Dongfang Jue."

He Weijie only had a trace of doubt in his heart, and coupled with the delicate relationship between Yuncheng and Longcheng, he blurted out his words. When he said it, he regretted it a little when he thought that this was in Dragon City, and when he heard Xiao Mei'er's words with a little anger, he felt a little unhappy in his heart, but he didn't dare to fight back.

Huo Dongpeng heard the unusualness in Xiao Mei'er's words: "Miss Mei'er, I believe that Monarch He intends to target Miss Mei'er and Longcheng, but the misunderstanding of the relationship between Miss Mei'er and the queen is also reasonable." What does Miss Mei'er know about the prince of the East? ”

Huo Dongpeng's warmth made Xiao Meier's anger disappear a lot, and she also realized that she was a little out of shape just now: "I also had something wrong just now, and I hope that Monarch He will not worry about me as a little woman." It's just that when I think of Dongfang Jue and Dongfang Rui's harm to my mother and what they did to Yuncheng, I can't be calm. ”

He Weijie was originally very unhappy in his heart, but when he heard Xiao Meier's apology, he felt a little empty-hearted: "You shouldn't speculate in vain, Miss Mei'er is also fighting based on the facts, listen to Miss Mei'er's meaning, the Eastern Monarch and the Oriental Prince have done something that should not be done to Mrs. Xiao and Yuncheng."

Xiao Mei'er's face turned cold again: "It's not just that you shouldn't do it, it's just revenge!"

Long Tingxiao and Zhang Mengjie knew that she was going to tell all the grievances of the Xiao family and the Eastern Imperial Family the moment Xiao Mei'er opened her mouth.

"The two monarchs only know that Jie'er is my mother's daughter, but they don't know that my mother has a real blood relationship with the royal family of Changyi City."

Except for Long Tingxiao, Zhang Mengjie, Qingfeng, who knew about this matter, and Yu Xiyao, who was informed of Yu Xiuwen's speculation, everyone else was shocked.

"Mei'er, your mother is a princess, princess?" They are all royal people, Xiao Meier said it so clearly, who wouldn't understand it, Yu Xilang was a little confused.

"Yes, my mother is Princess Anping, who was once as famous as the current queen of Changyi City!"

"Princess Anping? She's still alive! Huo Dongpeng muttered to himself.

"Homony? Your mother shouldn't be the same ......as the empty 'pig' queen," Yu Xilang felt that the atmosphere was wrong when she was about to say the four words "Wasted Reputation" and stopped her mouth in time.

Yu Xiyao reprimanded in a low voice: "Eighth brother, how many times have I told you, I can't hide it, Princess Anping's talent is real."

Yu Xiyao didn't say anything about Zhu Yanlian's talent, which made Huo Dongpeng and He Weijie smell something.

"Fifth brother, how do you know?" Yu Xilang asked ignorantly.

"Who is like you, although Princess Anping is an elder, but her affairs are praised in the royal families of various cities and countries, and you don't know it doesn't mean that everyone is as ignorant as you!"

Princess Anping's talent is indeed rarely looked down on, and it would be an exaggeration to say that the royal families of various cities and countries have praised Yu Xiyao, but who will reveal it at this time.

"Isn't the 'pig' queen rumored to be on the earth and less in the sky? It's not an empty stomach yet. Yu Xilang muttered quietly.

"Don't interrupt, listen to Miss Mei'er." (To be continued.) )
