Chapter 146: Eavesdropping and Conspiracy

Bi Yuntao walked towards the dining hall with joy, but after walking a few steps, he saw a familiar figure, hiding and running towards the path not far away.

This made him stunned, and there was a throbbing pain in his heart for no reason, as if he had been grabbed by someone, and the pain was unbearable. It wasn't until the figure disappeared that Bi Yuntao came back to his senses and chased in the direction where the figure disappeared just now.

Bi Yuntao chased after him for a while, and suddenly felt that something was wrong. The shadows of the trees around them swayed with the cold wind, looking extremely hideous. The swaying of leaves in the howling cold wind was clear to the ears, like a strange laugh from the devil, low and screeching, and eerie.

This made Bi Yuntao anxious, now that the sky has all darkened, I don't know what is going on today, it is a little cloudy, the moon is blocked by clouds, and I can only faintly see the outline, it can be said that I can't see my fingers. Only the occasional moonlight, which emerges when the clouds are blown away by the cold wind, brings a brief moment of brightness.

At night, when he can't see his fingers, there is no lighting equipment such as flashlights, and there are not even torches, which makes him look for someone at night like looking for a needle in a haystack, not to mention that this is the back mountain of Hanfeng Temple, surrounded by trees, which makes it even more difficult to find someone.

Bi Yuntao is now like a headless fly, anxious, and has lost his usual calmness.

At this moment, he regretted it a little, he knew that this would happen, he shouldn't have come up with that bad idea. If something happens to Sister Xue, he will never forgive himself for the rest of his life.

Just as he was at a loss, a low, suppressed cry came to his ears along the wind.

This made a trace of something bad faintly rise in his heart, he was afraid that Xue Ruyue was injured, and where he couldn't see his five fingers, no one knew what kind of danger he would encounter in the next foot, maybe it was a ravine, maybe it was a trap.

If it's a ravine, it's fine, but at most it's just a little skin trauma. He knew that there were some small animals such as hares and pheasants in the back mountains, and there were many second ancestors like him, and they had secretly set some traps to catch animals these days. Injuries can range from injuries to disability.

At the thought that Xue Ruyue had stepped on the trap, Bi Yuntao's heart trembled and twitched.

Bi Yuntao ran towards the source of the sound with an anxious mood, but after all, it was dark now, and there was no lighting equipment on him, so he couldn't see the road ahead clearly, and groped forward with one foot and one foot shallow.

After not taking a few steps, Bi Yuntao's feet were empty, and he suddenly stumbled and fell, rolling down the slope of the mountain road.

"Ahh Bi Yuntao wailed, although he stopped his body, he also hit the trunk of the tree, and the moment he stopped, he only felt that his whole body was about to fall apart.

Struggled to get up with the trunk of the tree, his left foot had just touched the ground, and suddenly there was a sharp stinging pain, and he lowered his head to check through the moonlight that had just emerged, but the brightness of the moonlight was limited after all, and he couldn't see what was going on at his ankle no matter how he looked, so he had to endure the pain and grope for a while, making sure that he didn't hurt the bones, and then he limped towards the source of the crying sound step by step.

After all, Bi Yuntao was injured in his foot, and every step he took was extremely difficult. Soon, cold sweat was on his forehead.

Bi Yuntao held on to a tree trunk and gasped, wiped the sweat on his head, and couldn't help complaining: "This is special, how nice it would be if there was a flashlight!" ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Bi Yuntao was stunned for a moment, and then slapped himself vigorously.

"You're such a stupid X, how could you forget about this?! Didn't you draw a flashlight in the lottery last time? Why did you forget?! You deserve to be fallen, and you don't have too many to fall to death! ”

Bi Yuntao scolded angrily, and quickly found a flashlight from the storage ring. That flashlight can't be said to be a flashlight anymore, to be precise, it should be a portable searchlight. And it is also a brightness of 3500 lumens, even if the power is out, it is not afraid, the emergency searchlight can not only be charged by hand, but also by solar energy. At that time, he was shocked to draw it, he didn't expect to be able to draw this kind of thing, and he even suspected that he could draw something terrible.

I quickly turned on the searchlight, and my eyes suddenly brightened.

"Whew! It feels so good to have light! Bi Yuntao breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly checked the injury on his foot, only to see that his ankle was obviously swollen, swollen like a hawthorn, red and big.

Bi Yuntao smiled bitterly, let's find Sister Xue first, even if I apply the medicine now, I will have to wait for a while to reduce the swelling.

Re-identified the direction where the crying was coming from, and walked in that direction step by step by holding on to the trunk of the tree.

After several twists and turns, Bi Yuntao finally saw the figure that made him feel distressed, she was sitting by the river with her legs crossed, sobbing quietly.

Seeing that Xue Ruyue was dressed in white and as clean as snow, without any mess and stains, and couldn't see any danger at all, this made Bi Yuntao breathe a sigh of relief.

Xue Ruyue was wiping her tears from her knees, and at this time she only felt that the surroundings were bright, which made Xue Ruyue a little surprised, and raised her head suspiciously, turned around and looked behind her.

But the moment Xue Ruyue turned her head, Bi Yuntao turned off the searchlight and put it in the storage ring, and the surrounding environment fell into darkness again, so that she didn't see anything clearly, only knowing that there was something messy about the person who came.

"Is it Xiaolan?" Xue Ruyue's nose muttered, and she asked the visitor.

"Oops! Which fairy is this who has fallen into the mortal dust and provoked these osmanthus flowers to compete for beauty?! Oh, it turned out to be the glamorous and moving Sister Xue, and I can't complain that this osmanthus is ashamed of itself. ”

Bi Yuntao picked an osmanthus flower and limped towards Xue Ruyue.

"You! Don't come here! As soon as Xue Ruyue heard that the person turned out to be the bastard of King Qi, her heart trembled, and she picked up a stone in her hand in fear, and warned him to demonstrate, "If you dare to come, don't blame this girl for being polite." ”

"Oh?" Bi Yuntao was playful, this little woman is so cute to threaten people, "Then I'm here, why are you not polite?" ”

Xue Ruyue was angry and threw the stone vigorously towards the source of the sound.

"Oops!" Bi Yuntao covered his head in pain, he didn't expect Xue Ruyue to throw a stone at him, so he didn't take any precautions and was smashed by her.

"You! You now know how awesome Miss Ben is! If you know each other, hurry up and stay away from this girl! Xue Ruyue heard his cry of pain, and her courage suddenly became a lot bigger.

"Humph! Insect carving skills! Bi Yuntao snorted coldly and limped towards Xue Ruyue's side.

"You!" As soon as Xue Ruyue wanted to speak, she heard the sound of a tree branch breaking, and she was immediately shocked, and shrank back in fear.

"Ahh Xue Ruyue exclaimed, and her body fell uncontrollably into the river.

"Be careful!" Bi Yuntao saw that Xue Ruyue was about to fall into the cold river water, and regardless of the injuries on his feet, he threw himself hard and grabbed Xue Ruyue, who was about to fall into the river.

"Sister Xue, are you okay? Are there any injuries? Bi Yuntao pulled Xue Ruyue and examined it carefully.

"Whew! Call! It's okay! Xue Ruyue was also afraid for a while, if she fell into the water, even if she was rescued in time, she would probably have to lie in bed for a few days.

"It's okay! Scared the hell out of me! Luckily, I'm in good shape. When Bi Yuntao heard Xue Ruyue say this, his hanging heart finally let go.

"It's not all you, bastard! It's no good to touch you! Xue Ruyue's mood calmed down a little, and under the cover of the night, she secretly moved her body to the side, planning to run away directly when he was not paying attention.

Bi Yuntao's attention has always been on her, and naturally he noticed these small movements of hers, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It seems that in the future, you must find an opportunity to explain to Sister Xue what she did before, otherwise she will run away as soon as she sees her, how will she contact her in the future, let alone plan to marry her in the future!

"Second prince, I don't know what's the matter with looking for me?" A voice came, reaching the ears of the two people who were thinking about it.

Xue Ruyue's body shook and looked behind her in horror. In the past two days, the things between her and Bi Yuntao have been spreading, and now she is with Bi Yuntao, if this is seen by others, wouldn't it really confirm the unclear relationship between her and Bi Yuntao.

Just when Xue Ruyue was anxious and at a loss, Bi Yuntao grabbed her little hand and pulled it towards the grass not far away.

"You put ...... Woooooo Xue Ruyue was stunned by his sudden movements, and when she saw him pulling herself towards the grass, she shouted in panic, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she was suddenly covered by the quick-eyed Bi Yuntao.

"Shh Bi Yuntao endured Xue Ruyue's punches and kicks, and pulled Xue Ruyue behind the grass, then he raised his index finger, made a silent movement, and said with bared teeth: "Someone is coming this way!" My reputation has long been notorious, and now you are just misunderstood, and you can explain it clearly. If someone finds someone lonely and widowed, blind in the dark light, and you have a tryst with me here, it will really be mud touching the crotch of your pants, not and! ”

Xue Ruyue also knew the seriousness of the matter, and after hearing his explanation, Xue Ruyue also stopped resisting.

"I'm letting you go now! If you'd rather be caught having a tryst with me than hide with me, then do as you please! ”

After Bi Yuntao finished speaking, he let go of Xue Ruyue and pricked up his ears to eavesdrop on the conversation of the visitor.

"Brother Shen, this prince only returned to Beijing yesterday, and as soon as he returned to Beijing, he heard the bad news of the Shen family! Please mourn! ”

"Hey! My miserable Xu'er! As soon as he said this, Shen Jianqiang was filled with grief in his heart.

The scene fell silent, and even Shen Jianqiang's cry Bi Yuntao couldn't hear it, which made him depressed for a while, and just when he thought they had left, the second prince spoke.

"Huh!" The second prince said with a smile: "Brother Shen! You had a child in your old age, and now you are a white-haired person sending a black-haired person, and it is inevitable that you will feel uncomfortable. ”

Seeing that Shen Jianqiang was still wiping his tears, the second prince continued: "Brother Shen, there are only you and me here, and this prince is not hiding it, just go straight to the point, have you ever thought about revenge?" ”

Seeing that the second prince was so straightforward, Shen Jianqiang no longer pretended, and put down his hand to reveal a gloomy face, where was the grief just now, and there was not even a trace of crying on his face.

"The second prince is really fast-talking, the old man naturally thought about revenge, but even the emperor didn't blame King Qi for this, and he could only think about it!"

"Huh!" The second prince smiled faintly and said, "Brother Shen, haven't you thought about why the emperor didn't condemn King Qi?" ”

Without waiting for Shen Jianqiang to answer, the second prince continued: "Brother Shen has been an official for so many years, doesn't he understand the truth that you can't form a party for personal gain? ”

After all, Shen Jianqiang has been an official for many years, and after such a reminder from the second prince, he instantly understood what the second prince meant, and suddenly broke into a cold sweat.

"Is Your Highness saying that the emperor is killing chickens and making an example of monkeys?"

"That's right!" The second prince nodded, "Brother Shen must have known about the incident between Meng Ruoxi and King Qi before, and that incident made a lot of noise, and the emperor had already had a plan in his heart." ”

"When the emperor was worried that he couldn't find someone to use to make this chicken, the three princes and the king of Qi made such a big move. This was in the emperor's hands, so the emperor took this opportunity the next day to purge the court and rebalance the various forces. ”

"Brother Shen, your son, the third prince and the king of Qi were all used as a spear by the emperor, but the difference is that the king of Qi is safe, while the third prince has a broken leg, as for Brother Shen, you can naturally only bear the fate of you standing on the wrong side alone."

"In fact, there is no need for this prince to remind him, with Brother Shen's ingenuity, he can naturally understand the reason for this, but Brother Shen is immersed in the grief of losing his beloved son, so he didn't think about it carefully."

"Then according to what the second prince said, what should the old man do?" Shen Jianqiang is worthy of being an official for many years, and he knows how to deal with people like the second prince, so he pretended to be taught, lowered his body and asked the second prince for advice.

"You only have two choices now, one is to stand in line with the eldest prince, and the other is to stand in line with this prince, and now that this prince has found you, you must know what to do!"

"Huh! That's nature. Shen Jianqiang smiled, "It's naturally okay for the old man to stand in line with the second prince, but it's ......"

"But what? Brother Shen said it was okay. ”

"Good! That's not hidden down there! Tell your Highness directly. Shen Jianqiang made up his mind and said to the second prince: "The old man also said just now, if you want to take revenge, Your Highness, as long as you help the old man avenge the loss of his son, the old man will naturally follow behind His Highness and follow the power of dogs and horses." ”

The second prince frowned, "It's naturally okay to help Brother Shen take revenge, but it's still a little difficult to deal with two princes at once." And if it is discovered by the eldest prince, I am afraid that this prince will become the target of public criticism. ”

"Huh! His Highness misunderstood. Shen Jianqiang saw that the second prince would be mistaken, and said with a smile: "You only need to deal with the King of Qi alone, as for the third prince, a broken leg is also deserved." ”

"If you only deal with King Qi alone, then please rest assured Brother Shen!" When the second prince saw that as long as he dealt with Bi Yuntao alone, he immediately relieved his heart and asked him to deal with two powerful opponents at one time, which was no less difficult than expanding his territory.

"This prince happens to have a plan in his heart, but not now, he needs to wait until the hunting competition during the Spring Festival, I don't know if Brother Shen can wait?"

"As long as what His Highness promised can be done, the old man's promise will always be valid."

"Haha!" The second prince laughed heartily, "Then please ask Brother Shen to wait for good news." ”
