Chapter 287: The so-called confidant
If such a major event as the assassination of the prince had been known by the emperor, it would definitely not be so easy to prepare for the atmosphere of the incense festival now.
Xuanyuan nodded calmly.
"No, although the news of your injury has spread, everyone thinks that you were injured because you rarely ride a horse and were accidentally thrown off by a horse."
How can this way of being hurt be so aggrieved?
After an injury, digestion is weakened due to insufficient blood supply to the stomach and intestines. So Shangguan Li ate very slowly, rarely chewed slowly, chewed and chewed, and understood where he felt something was wrong just now.
She followed Feng Sibei all the way, and never felt the breath of other people nearby.
If the assassin was also following him, she couldn't have found out, unless it was a master of Xuanyuan Night's level.
But if those assassins were really like Xuanyuan Ye, ten Feng Sibei wouldn't be able to hold out when she arrived.
Coupled with that big pit, it is likely that the assassins were not following him, but ambushed there.
The problem was that everyone's hunting route was not fixed, so how could the Assassins accurately guess which way Feng Sibei would take in such a large forest?
Thinking of Xuanyuan Ye's attitude again, she frowned slightly.
"Feng Sibei went there by himself?"
She didn't call His Royal Highness King An, she called her by her name directly. Xuanyuan Ye's eyes showed a little vague appreciation, but he quickly hid it back.
"The forbidden soldiers who were replaced by the ban are not all from one of the sides."
Shangguan Li's eyes widened slightly.
"Are you saying that they are the people of the two Highnesses, and they both want to calculate each other in today's hunt?"
"Probably."
Xuanyuan Ye said ambiguously, it doesn't matter.
"I have little interest in the fight between the two Highnesses, as long as the balance they maintain is not broken for the time being, I will not interfere."
That's why I was so angry about her and Feng Sibei getting close to Changfeng Residence before?
Shangguan Li bit her chopsticks and thought nonchalantly.
The train of thought deviated for a moment, and she manually dragged it back.
So Feng Sibei should have wanted to go there to ambush Feng Sichen, but he didn't expect his second brother to move faster than him, and he also arranged for a master to go in, almost killing him.
No wonder Feng Sibei, who was a victim, didn't go to the emperor to make a small report, this matter was really investigated, and he and Feng Sichen couldn't please both sides.
And even if he had no choice but to do so, Feng Sichen directly put the pot on those thieves the day before, and there was really nothing he could do.
As for the two dead forbidden soldiers, it can be said that they fell into the pit and died. Under the behest of the prince, these two lives are not even grass mustard.
In this way, this assassination, which was enough to cause panic again, ended quietly.
Shangguan Li had a wound on his body for nothing.
"Alright."
Xuanyuan stood up.
"If the county lord is bored after eating, he can also go to the incense festival, and if there is anything for Tianji to do. I still have something to do, so I'll go first. ”
After speaking, without waiting for Shangguan Li to say anything, he turned around and left.
Shangguan Li glanced at his back, then ate and drank to his heart's content, cleaned himself up again, and then followed out of the camp.
As night fell, it was another good day. There was no moon tonight, but the stars were bright, and torches were lit around the tent, and the smell of roasted meat and grass wafted in the wind.
A little farther away, there was a large bonfire, and many girls were in groups of three or five, talking about flowers and people. As for the young men who came out of the wounded battalion, most of them were talking about the heroic posture of the king of Zhenbei and the lord of Shaoyang.
Shangguan Li has good hearing, and when she listened to it from a distance, she felt that the praise was really exaggerated, and she was not a person who liked to be lively, so she didn't plan to go over.
It's a good idea to find a random place to see the scenery, or go back and read a book for a while.
"County Lord?"
But someone didn't want her to be happy, so she turned her head and saw that it was Tianquan and Tianji, the unlucky pair. Both of them looked a little haggard, and their eyes were even more complicated when they saw her.
"It's really the county lord, you're awake!"
Dimensity screamed.
"Tianxuan should be able to ......"
"Ahem!"
Tianquan elbowed her, blocking back her words.
Shangguan Li's gaze turned back and forth between the two, and Tianxuan ...... It should be the one who looks like a fox.
She remembered that he was punished with thirty lashes by Xuanyuan Night, what the hell?
"What's wrong with Tianxuan?"
"Uh."
Tianquan didn't expect Shangguan Li to take the initiative to ask, and Tianji, who was stuck in the shell, had already said it in one go.
"Didn't the prince ask him to send someone to keep an eye on the hunting ground? As a result, a master suddenly appeared, he and the county lord are walking together, and the fight is at the same level as Tianquan, and he didn't react at the first time. ”
"As a result, the county lord was injured, and was punished by the prince with a pepper water whip, and was given to our camp tent in the kneeling hunting ground, and he was not allowed to get up if the county lord did not wake up. Now, I'll tell him to go! ”
After speaking, Feng Feng turned around and ran away.
Shangguan Li: "......"
Tianquan, who stayed behind, looked at her face and said suddenly.
"Does the county lord think that the prince has been punished heavily?"
Shangguan Li glanced at him.
"Don't worry, a few of us have been beaten with this kind of whip a few times except for shaking the little cub, and this time it is indeed Tianxuan who is too negligent, it's just ......"
His expression suddenly became a little tangled, as if he was holding back a sentence that he didn't know whether to say or not. Seeing that he had a tendency to suffocate himself to death, Shangguan Li let out a breath and said lightly.
"You say."
Tianquan: "We have never seen the prince so angry, the prince is ...... to the county lord Well, it's a lot of concern. ”
Shangguan Lixin said I still need your reminder?
She nodded.
"I know."
"You know?"
Tianquan's eyes widened, and he was so excited that he forgot to add honorifics.
Shangguan Li is not stupid, thinking about it carefully, although he can't see through Xuanyuan Ye, he basically didn't do anything to endanger himself or the group, on the contrary, he helped her a few times.
Although most of the time the two are connected by the word "cooperation", Shangguan Li feels that the so-called confidant is probably like this.
Tianquan didn't know that Shangguan Li's thoughts were a little different from his own, so he stumbled and asked.
"So, what does the county lord think?"
Shangguan Li gave him a puzzled look.
"What do you think?"
Tianquan was stunned for a moment, could it be that he was thinking wrong? He wanted to ask what was going on, but when it came to his own prince, he couldn't help but be a little timid and hesitated for a long time.
"That, the county lord's incense ......"
"Third sister!"
His questioning was abruptly interrupted.
