Growth Volume Chapter 266: Wait and see what happens
For two days in a row, the palace of the west was unusually calm, except for the busy maids and servants, there was no indication that two weddings were about to be held here that were enough to cause a sensation in the world.
In the courtyard of the guest room, Xiao Chen sat by the window of the study, holding an indescribable history of the rivers and lakes in his hand and reading it with relish.
Outside the window, in the heavy snow, Han Che was still concentrating on the Breaking Thousand Army that Xiao Chen had taught him, this superb martial arts from his biological father was amazingly difficult, and even a martial arts genius like Han Che couldn't get into it for a while.
Also, after all, in this world, not everyone is a monster like Xiao Chen.
There were footsteps outside the door, but Xiao Chen didn't even raise his head.
Ouyang Xu walked to Xiao Chen's side, took a deep look at the young man practicing swords in the snow, and did not speak.
"How's it going out there?" Xiao Chen's gaze was still on the wild history, and he asked without raising his head.
Ouyang Xu said: "Linghu Chu sent countless soldiers and guards to leak the inside and outside of the guest room. ”
Xiao Chen nodded lightly, his face calm, as if this situation was not unexpected by him.
"It seems that I, my father-in-law, have a heart to keep me." Xiao Chen smiled faintly.
"Lord Wang, do you want to ......" Ouyang Xu wanted to speak and stopped.
Putting down the wild history in his hand, Xiao Chen smiled slightly: "Just say what you have, don't hide it." ”
Ouyang Xu arched his hand and said: "Lord Wang, otherwise you will follow me tonight and rush out of the Patrol West Palace, I have carefully observed, although there are many guards outside, there are not many strong martial artists, as long as you are surprised, you should be able to rush out." ”
Xiao Chen smiled dumbly: "Can you think of it, that Ling Hu Chu can't think of it?" ”
"Then what is the prince going to do?" Ouyang Xu asked, "Is it true that you really want to be a puppet prince here?" ”
Xiao Chen chuckled: "Ling Hu Chu's purpose is nothing more than to let me get married by controlling me and controlling Yong'an, that is the first step in his plan." Until he achieves his goal, he must be cautious every step of the way. At this time, if you want to leave the palace, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky. ”
"But there are always times when people get carried away and are sparse, and at that time, it is the time for us to leave this place."
Ouyang Xu nodded lightly when he heard this, and there seemed to be no better way in front of him.
After pondering for a long time, Ouyang Xu said again: "But I still don't understand a little, since the prince already knows Ling Hu Chu's thoughts, why do you want to come to Manshenzhou......"
Xiao Chen was slightly stunned, as if he remembered something, and slowly stood up and looked out the window.
"Before I left, I specially told Ji Wushuang the news that I came to Manshenzhou."
Ouyang Xu was stunned for a moment: "Mr. agreed?" ”
Xiao Chen nodded: "With his calculations, he will definitely be able to calculate my situation today, but what makes me puzzled is why Ji Wushuang agreed to let me come to Manshenzhou." ”
Ouyang Xu pondered for a long time, frowned, and said, "Is it possible that he wants to harm the prince?" ”
Xiao Chen smiled: "What good can he do to me?" ”
"I know that people like Ji Wushuang can do whatever it takes for their own layout, but I can't figure it out, what good can he do if he murders me."
Shaking his head slightly, Xiao Chen said lightly: "So the only explanation is that he is playing a bigger game." ”
Ouyang Xu frowned and said, "Then what should we do now?" ”
Sitting back in his seat, Xiao Chen shook his head and said calmly: "Do nothing, wait and see." ”
……
In the palace hall, Ling Hu Chu was also listening to the news from the attendants.
Leaving Xiao Chen behind was part of his big plan, and for this reason, he hadn't even closed his eyes for two days and two nights.
"You mean, he hasn't been out of the courtyard since the king sent men to surround his room?" Ling Hu Chu asked suspiciously.
The guard bowed and nodded: "That's right, Lord Wang." Except for eating and sleeping, Xiao Chen almost didn't do anything else. ”
"And what about his guards?" Linghu Chu asked again.
The guard shook his head: "It's also in the courtyard, and there are almost no other activities." ”
"That's weird!" Ling Hu Chu was puzzled and said even more: "It stands to reason that ordinary people must be furious if they want to know that they are under house arrest, and they want to find me, but Xiao Chen is such a gentleman, but there is no abnormality at all, this is really unreasonable." ”
The guard said: "Is it possible, is it that Xiao Chen is reluctant to leave our Manshenzhou?" ”
Linghu Chu shook his head: "If it was Xiao Chen before, this king might still believe it, but since the battle of Yong'an, this king has to look at him with admiration." ”
Pacing back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back, Ling Hu Chu suddenly asked as if he remembered something: "By the way, what about the army sent by Yong'an to help our Manshenzhou?" ”
The guard bowed and said, "According to the military report from the front, they have also been following the army back to the city, and many soldiers are still clamoring to come and drink their prince's wedding wine." ”
Ling Hu Chu finally nodded with relief: "That's fine, as long as that army is still under our control, Xiao Chen won't be able to make any waves." But no matter what kind of medicine Xiao Chen sells in his gourd, it will only be a day before he gets married, you must watch Xiao Chen in prison and not let him leave the palace for half a step. ”
"Yes!"
The guards quickly retreated, and suddenly only Ling Hu Chu was left in the main hall.
Although things have been going according to his expectations, he doesn't know why, he always has a feeling of fear, and he always feels that something big is about to happen.
Suddenly there were footsteps outside the palace gate, and Hu Chu thought that it was the guards who went and returned, and said impatiently: "You go down first, this king wants to be alone and quiet." ”
The owner of the footsteps seemed to be deaf to him, and walked into the temple step by step.
"I said it......" Ling Hu Chu, who raised his head, was about to get angry, but when he saw that the person who came was actually Ling Hu Jin, he could only suppress the rest of his words.
Today's Ling Hu Jin wore a snow-white long dress, with her delicate face, she looked extraordinary, like a fairy who had fallen into the world.
"Jin'er, why are you here?"
Ling Hu Chu tried hard to squeeze out a seemingly gentle smile, since the last conversation, Ling Hu Jin locked himself in his boudoir and didn't go out for two days and two nights.
Ling Hu Chu seemed to be hard-hearted, but after all, he was his daughter, and he was inevitably a little worried in his heart, and at the same time blamed himself for saying too much. Now that he saw Ling Hujin, he naturally seemed a little cautious.
Ling Hu Jin squeezed out an expressionless smile: "In a blink of an eye, I'm about to get married, and I haven't tried the feeling of hunting, I want to go out hunting." ”
"Good, good!" Ling Hu Jin changed his temperament and did not make any noise, and only made a request for hunting, Ling Hu Chu naturally agreed with joy: "I will arrange manpower, you can go hunting wherever you want, my father told you, I have a lot of guards who are good at hunting, you will definitely be happy, and ......"
"I want to take Xiao Chen with me." Ling Hu Jin opened his mouth lightly. interrupted Ling Hu's gushing.
Ling Hu Chu was stunned, and his face instantly collapsed:
"You know how important Xiao Chen is to me, at this juncture, I don't want any changes to happen!"
"So you don't agree?" Ling Hu Jin looked at Ling Hu Chu with a frosty face on the seat,-for-tat, not giving an inch!
