In the fortification hall of the mine, Qin Huai and Ayu sat next to each other, and behind them stood Chijia and Chigou respectively. Opposite them was the eldest prince Qin Qin, who was half-lying on the bed.

Both sides have been speechless for a long time, and they don't know how to speak.

Wang Sanlang still found some fresh fruits outside, put them on a plate, and added a few freshly brewed teas to bring them in.

"If you don't like it, I'll ask someone to find it." After Wang Sanlang greeted them, he said to Ayu specifically, "I saw a lot of berries growing on the hillside over there, and when we have almost saved everyone, we will go and pick them for you." ”

Ayu said, "Third brother, you don't have to worry about me. ”

Wang Sanlang waved his hand: "When we went out, your sister-in-law specially told me, saying that you came to Wanning City with you to work hard, and when we arrived, we must take care of you." Otherwise, I won't be able to explain it when I go back. ”

He said it very smoothly, as if he had forgotten that he and Wei Qianying were only married, and they had never officially married.

Ayu heard that it was Wei Qianying's meaning, and she still wanted to give this sister-in-law who had not passed through the door a little face, so she had to say: "You don't have to have a lot, just a little, I'm grown up, and I don't like to eat those things that children eat." ”

And they looked at her again.

Then it became clear that Ayu had reached the age where she would emphasize that she was an adult.

After this interruption, the originally awkward room was finally not so suffocating.

It was the eldest prince who took the lead in speaking, and first looked at Qin Huai: "I heard before that this year's Xie Yuan is a young and promising young man, I was a little unbelievable before, but now I know when I see you, and at a glance, I can take Xie Yuan's material." ”

As he spoke, the eldest prince smiled again: "Speaking of which, the queen mother is your cousin, and I see that you are somewhat similar to the queen mother." ”

Qin Huai and Empress Qin don't look alike, but if the two of them stand together and carefully ask others to find similarities, they can still find some.

Among them, the most similar is the expressionless eyes of the two of them, which seem to be carved out of a mold, with a sense of solemnity that makes people unapproachable.

"Yes, yes, I think so too, Brother Ayou is very similar to the queen's cousin!" Seeing that Qin Huai was reluctant to answer this topic, Ayu had no choice but to break the embarrassment, lest the eldest prince feel guilty, "The eldest prince, you are the one who lives in the inner palace, then you must have seen the queen's cousin, we haven't been to the palace again, and I don't know how the queen's cousin is doing now, how is she recovering?" ”

Hearing the title of Ayu, the eldest prince was stunned at first, and then reacted that this little girl should be Qin Huai's little fiancée on the tip of his heart.

Ayu's name is still a little loud in the noble circle of Wanning City, for no other reason, because this little girl is very capable, and she abducted the noble little boy in the Yongguo Mansion to study abroad.

What's more, if there is a little lady who still shows up after the marriage, shouldn't she stay in the boudoir from now on, learn poetry and etiquette, follow her mother to learn how to be a good housewife, and then wait to be married by her husband's family?

But this little girl is good, maybe because the people in the countryside don't understand these rules, and they really should take away the young man who is most optimistic about the masters.

However, many people who were the same age as Qin Huai, or only three or four years older, were very tired of him, and when they thought of the fiancées they were married to or those girls in the city, none of them could compare with the rumored Qin Huai's little fiancée.

It's not about poetry, etiquette, or family appearance, but about this courage, even men are ashamed of themselves.

The eldest prince is also one of them.

Of course, the reason why Ayu is most famous is because of some crazy things that Qin Huai has done over the years.

To say that the most exciting thing is that there is a rich son, who talks loudly outside, talks about Qin Huai in an extremely insulting tone, and uses obscene words to talk about Ayu.

On the second day, everyone found that the rich boy had been stripped naked and hung at the gate of the city.

That's not all, his mouth was strung with a very thick wire, and his two ears were also cut off, and the whole person was so frightened that he didn't even have time to be ashamed, and he was directly frightened and fainted.

Later, everyone speculated that Qin Huai must have done this, because he went directly to the door of the son-in-law and said to him: "If there is a next time, I will make you unable to hear and speak." ”

The family immediately reported to the official, but no matter how Shuntian Mansion investigated, they couldn't find the slightest relationship with Qin Huai, but their family had accidents one after another, so they could only leave Wanning City in disgrace.

Later, someone went to the Yongguo Mansion to mention Qin Huai's family affairs.

Some people fell in love with Qin Huai's own intelligence, and some people fell in love with the power of the Yongguo Mansion and wanted to take advantage of it to rise to the top, but these people all returned in vain, and none of them had a good color when they came out, and later I learned that these people were all directly bombed out by Qin Huai.

Everyone said that in the past, they heard that this little prince of the Yongguo Mansion was weak and sickly and could not speak, but now they found that he was not only strong and strong, but also able to speak well.

Even for him, Yong Guogong, who rarely came forward, was about to break his leg, explaining to this family for a while, and explaining to that family for a while, for fear that they would be disgusted with Qin Huai.

Qin Huai couldn't see Yong Guogong lowering his value like this, and he didn't know what method he used, the rumors about him in the market gradually decreased, and no one dared to joke about his fiancée, but Ayu's name spread in the city.

"The eldest prince, Sister Chigou is a very cautious person, I thought you were disguised as a person in the prince's mansion, so I have a bad attitude towards you, I know, the eldest prince is a generous and generous person, and the people say that you are polite, you must not care about such a trivial matter, right?" Ayu saw that the eldest prince seemed to be weighing the pros and cons of this matter, and hurriedly spoke up to help Chigou.

When Chigou heard Ayu speak for her, her eyes flashed with emotion.

Woo, it's better to miss Ayu, and I'll still miss her.

But there was no expression on her face, and others only looked at her as a wood.

Qin Qin only felt that he had a headache on his forehead, a pain in the back of his head, an indescribable pain in his whole body, and he was still hungry in his stomach, but when he calculated it, they were also his own people.

The queen mother and her mother have always gotten along very well, and if she finds trouble with her nephew, he will not be able to respond when the queen mother asks in the future.

"Forget it, I didn't make it clear myself, I thought there were many irrelevant people in it, and if they heard it, I would have to panic." The eldest prince didn't plan to be very careful.

Thinking about it, even if he puts himself in the original situation, he will not trust a person of unknown origin.

Didn't that girl named Akagu also say that she was a staff member in the palace of the Easy King? turned out to be the personal guard of the little prince of the Yongguo Mansion.

Speaking of which, the name Akainu is really a bit ugly.

Unexpectedly, Qin Huai was dignified and introduced to Xie Yuan, but he was reluctant to give the guards a nice name.

The other party is still a girl.

When Ayu was not around, Qin Huai didn't like to talk to the people around him, first, he felt bored, second, he felt unnecessary, and thirdly, because of his habit since childhood, Chijia usually spoke more for him.

Now that Ayu is by his side, Qin Huai is even less rare to talk to others, and when he only stays with Ayu, he feels that the irritability in his heart is much less.

On weekdays, people who don't like it and want to kill them directly can endure it.

"Can the eldest prince tell me why he is in this mine?" Qin Huai glanced at Chi Jia, and Chi Jia spoke for him.

The eldest prince saw that it was a personal guard who asked him, and he didn't want to answer.

Ayu explained: "And my brother was sick when he was a child, and his throat was sometimes uncomfortable, so he didn't like to talk much. ”

The eldest prince nodded, indicating that he understood: "I have heard a little, but this involves some royal matters, and it may not be convenient to inform you, forgive me." ”

Ayu: "Oh, we were also abrupt, I didn't think of this. ”

In fact, Ayu didn't want to talk to him, but the red dog hurt the eldest prince, and they were going to come anyway, so as not to make the prince angry, it was also possible to take the red dog to sacrifice to the sky.

Ayu greeted a few more times, and when more doctors in Wanning City arrived, she said that she would go find a doctor and show the eldest prince carefully.

After she went out, she saw Liang Xue who was following Doctor Xue.

"Sister Liang Xue, why did you come here?"

Liang Xue was helping a freshly brought out injured person to bandage the wound, her technique was extremely neat, she quickly bandaged it, and easily used her elbow to slap Ayu to the side, so as not to let her get bloodstains.

"Of course I was called, my master and I were going to look for you first, but we were called back by the people from the palace, saying that there was a large group of people in need of healing, and we ended up here."

When Ayu heard this, she felt that this matter was not so simple.

It was just the collapse of a quarry, which was a great accident for ordinary people, but it couldn't alarm the people in the palace.

Not to mention Grandpa Xue and Sister Liang Xue, they are not the imperial doctors of the palace!

Thinking of the way the eldest prince wanted to speak and stopped just now, Ayu had a vague guess in his heart.

Is the collapse of this quarry, and the great prince buried inside, really just a coincidence?

[Bao, the task is still the last bit of progress to be completed, now, take a few powerful people and go to the back mountain to catch the mastermind behind the scenes! ] 】

The dango issued the task in a timely manner.

In fact, this task is to ask Ayu to find relevant clues, and then investigate them one by one, and finally find out the key evidence, and finally go to the back mountain to determine the murderer.

Tuanzi was reluctant to let Ayu be so troublesome, so he immediately expanded the energy circle, collected all the sounds within a radius of hundreds of miles, and then analyzed it frantically, and finally found the key point.

Ayu didn't think about it, turned around and went to Qin Huai, and didn't forget to say to Liang Xue: "Sister Liang Xue, I'm going to do something very important later, please tell my aunt and them, and I'll be back soon." ”

Liang Xue: "Why don't you say it yourself?" ”

Ayu smiled: "If I say it, they will be afraid that I will be tired and don't want them to worry." ”

But what Ayu didn't say was that if she knew that she was going to take someone to catch the mastermind behind the scenes, they would definitely try their best to stop themselves.

This is a royal secret!

Ayu returned to the fortification hall and saw the eldest prince who was struggling to drink hot tea, and asked him, "Great prince, are all your people here?" Is there a hundred? ”

The Great Prince: "? How? ”

"Oh, I found a couple of suspicious people, and they ran back into the mountains. Another villager told me that there seems to be something terrible in the back mountain, and if you have enough people, you may get something from going now! ”

The eldest prince didn't care about the pain, so he immediately called his own people over, and after such an order, a team of about forty or fifty people stood in front of Ayu.

Ayu also wanted to talk to Qin Huai, but she saw that some guards surnamed Chi and ordinary guards came out, standing behind her, and the people in front of her directly protected Ayu.

Ayu smiled and narrowed her eyes.

"Let's go."

Qin Huai didn't ask where to go, just left.

The little sheep who had helped to dig the soil for a long time came from the side, and was also beckoned by Ayu: "Little sheep, go, now I need you very much." ”

After these people hurried away, some of them secretly squinted, turned their heads and ran in another direction.

As a result, he didn't run a few steps before he was covered with a sack.

Wang Wulang clapped his hands and said to Wang Shilang, who was busy tying up people: "Fourth brother, it seems that you are still not stupid when you read, and this craft has not fallen at all!" ”

Wang Shilang: "...... Side to go. ”

Of course, Ayu won't tell anyone, and she has already sent a message to Wang Wulang and others with various secret actions, and she really caught it.

In the depths of the mountain, in the cave of a mountain, several people surrounded one of the hooded people, and their expressions were heavy.

"The eldest prince has been rescued, and this mission is half a failure."

"No, we still have a chance." One of them said viciously, "They all thought it was just an ordinary collapse, they were all busy saving people, and the eldest prince didn't have any guards around him at all, as long as we should cooperate with the outside world, we would directly put the eldest prince-"

The man made a neck-cutting motion, and his eyes were very grim.

The hooded man shook his head and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "No. ”

The others were anxious: "The eldest prince has seen something that he shouldn't see, master, you must not be soft-hearted at this time, it will ruin our big things!" ”

"Huh?" The hooded man turned to the man who spoke, and was caught off guard by a slap.

The man flew out upside down and slammed into the stone wall of the cave, spurting out a large mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground without knowing who knew it.

When the others saw it, they did not dare to say anything more.

The hooded man slowly withdrew his palm and said, "I don't say my words a second time, can you understand?" ”

Seeing that everyone was silent, he was very satisfied, and said: "Qin Qin, that waste, is a dead man after all, so you don't have to care." Our immediate priority is to—"

Before the words fell, someone answered.

"Are you going to turn yourself in?" The delicate female voice is innocent, as if she is really curious about the second half of the sentence.

If it weren't for the sound outside the cave.
