Volume 1 The Wind Rises Chapter 86 Going to the Meeting Alone
Suddenly, the guard trotted out and arched his hand towards Li Feibai and said, "Sir, the prince is already waiting in the main hall, please come with me." ”
Li Feibai turned his head and said to the four palanquins: "You wait here, I'll come when I go." ”
He has been here once, and he is no stranger to Tsing Yi Division, passing by that row of thatched houses, the picture of Liu Renfang's assassination is vivid.
At that time, the eight guards of the Tsing Yi Division were lying on the edge of the grass he passed, and Liu Renfang was assassinated in the first thatched house on the right-hand side.
Thinking back to the case, before Fang Qing made his move, he had already been taken first, and who the murderer was had not yet been caught.
And the stupid Tsing Yi Si people, after discovering that tunnel, put the blame on themselves. Li Feibai sneered.
Then he wondered: what was the purpose of the murderer? Could it be the same as himself, do you want to pull Nangong to settle the horse? Or do you just want to kill Liu Renfang?
But if it's the latter, it's not better to start on the road or at his house, why choose it during the tea party?
The only thing he can be sure of now is that the murderer is the person who was in the Tsing Yi Division that day, as for who it is, he did not verify it in detail, after all, it has little to do with him.
"Sir, it's here."
The guard's voice shattered his thoughts.
"The prince is inside, please."
"There is labor!" Li Feibai returned the salute.
Entering the main hall, there was no one in the air, there was a tea tray in front of Nangong Ding, and there were three cups on the tea tray, one was a male cup, one was his own, and the one opposite was prepared for Li Feibai. Behind him stood Xiao Wuji, tall and straight, without squinting.
Probably this is the style of the patriotic royal family, and there must always be a guard or subordinate behind him to show his status. Otherwise, Li Feibai has no cultivation, and it will be in vain whether he stands or not.
"Lord Wang, I am invited to visit." Li Feibai was dressed in a white shirt and stood in the middle of the main hall.
"Brother Bai went to the Tsing Yi Division alone, and the king admired it very much." Nangong Ding stood up and said with a smile.
"The prince only invited me alone, if I bring someone else, wouldn't it be a loss of courtesy?" Li Feibai also replied with a smile.
"Good, very good!" Nangong Ding stroked his palms and smiled: "Come, please take a seat." ”
"Thank you."
Li Feibai was not polite, walked directly to the opposite side of Nangong Ding, and sat down.
"Superior Longjing, please taste it to Brother Bai." Nangong Ding personally poured a cup of tea for Li Feibai.
Picking up the cup, Li Fei took a sip: "Sweet and bitter parallel, aftertaste, good tea, good tea." ”
"It seems that the White Brothers also have a lot of research on the tea ceremony."
"I have lived in the countryside for a long time, and there are many tea trees growing around, but I have urinated and drunk countless tea since I was a child."
poured another cup for Li Feibai, and a hint of banter appeared on Nangong Ding's face: "Brother Bai is not afraid, I poisoned this tea?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere immediately became strange, and the surroundings seemed to be full of the sound of swords, guns, swords, and halberds.
Holding the corners of his mouth and smiling, Li Feibai replied: "If the prince wants to put me to death, there are at least a hundred more clever means than this." ”
"Well said." The smile in Nangong Ding's eyes was even worse: "However, I really poisoned the tea." ”
Li Feibai was stunned for a moment, his brain was spinning rapidly, and at the same time he felt whether there was any change in his body.
No, no way!
If he wants to kill himself, he can just slap him, why use such indiscriminate means as poisoning.
I think back to the four words that I taught him before: attack the heart first. Li Feibai immediately concluded that Nangong Ding said this just to take the initiative in the next conversation.
Relieved, his face was still so calm, the corners of Li Feibai's mouth rose slightly, and said, "Lord Wang, if the tea is really poisonous, then I will accept my fate." ”
He picked up his teacup and took another sip.
"Wonderful, wonderful." Nangong Ding patted the tea table, pointed at Li Feibai and said: "It is worthy of coming out of the mountains, it is really fearless, there is no poison in the tea, Brother Bai can drink it." ”
"Having said that, ordinary people entertain guests, they are all wine feasts, and the prince is just preparing a few cups of tea, it seems that the intelligence work of the Tsing Yi Division is in place." Li Feibai then spoke.
What he means is that you know I don't drink, so I only prepare tea, and the intelligence is good. On the surface, it is a compliment, but in fact it is sarcasm.
The anger in his eyes flashed, and Nangong Ding simply replied with a smile: "Brother Bai, I not only know that you don't drink a drop of alcohol, but also know what you like to eat, what you don't like to do, what time you fall asleep every day, what time do you wake up, do you want me to say it one by one?" ”
"No need." Li Feibai stretched out his hand to stop: "It seems that the prince is still very attentive to me." ”
"Who told Brother Bai to buy so many bamboo leaves last time?"
The two looked at each other and immediately laughed.
Nangong Ding's implication was that because Li Feibai bought so many bamboo leaves last time, he almost made Tsing Yi Si arrest him as a "white tiger" with the party, so Tsing Yi Si would know his situation well.
"Speaking of the matter of Zhu Yeqing last time, this king is here to apologize to Brother Bai for the people of Tsing Yi Division, I almost wronged you." Nangong Dingyi arched his hand.
"The prince doesn't have to be polite, the Tsing Yi Division works day and night for my David, and I don't have to worry about this little thing."
"Brother Bai is broad-minded, this king replaces wine with tea, toast you." Nangong Ding raised his glass and drank all the tea inside.
Li Feibai also picked up the cup, took a sip, and then said: "Speaking of which, can the prince find out the real murderer of Lord Liu Renfang?" ”
With a solemn face, Nangong Ding opened his mouth and replied: "Brother Bai, I won't tell you, we have already determined that it was the traitor 'White Tiger' who defended the country. ”
Since "Vain Fee" was almost arrested as a "White Tiger" party, he already knew the details of the matter, and it didn't hurt to tell him. This is Nangong Ding's idea.
"Just that tunnel?" Li Feibai continued to ask.
"Yes, the assassination of the former prince Nangong Jiang was done by the White Tiger, and there is also a tunnel at the scene, so it is certain that the person who killed Liu Renfang must also be the person of the 'White Tiger'."
Putting down the teacup, Li Feibai's face tightened, and he clenched his fists and said, "Lord Wang, I was also present that day, and I have a different opinion on this matter." ”
"Oh?" Nangong was interested: "Brother Bai, but it's okay to say it." ”
"That tunnel may indeed be the work of the 'White Tiger', but I think it wasn't they who killed Lord Liu."
"What do you mean by that?" Nangong Ding began to listen carefully.
"First of all, the eight Tsing Yi Division guards who died that day, outside the thatched house, they did not have any traces of struggle or struggle, which means that the person who started must be very familiar with them, and the prince must also understand this."
"I naturally thought of this, but it exists, but I can't explain it." Nangong replied.
"Okay, let's assume that the 'White Tiger' people passed through the tunnel and wanted to kill Liu Renfang in the thatched house, but since he had already succeeded, why did he still come out of the tunnel and kill the eight guards outside the thatched house, wouldn't this be too much, and it would increase his own exposure risk?"
"Buzz"
Nangong Ding is like an initiation.
