Chapter 198: Not Honest Enough
was robbed by Lian Ji, Xiahou Ninghan couldn't help but be slightly stunned on the spot.
Indeed, as the other party said, she listened to other people's rumors about Li Jiangyao's defection to the Turks and being named Baron Metasequoia. And those people only saw the Khan's edicts preached everywhere by the Turks, but no one really verified whether Li Jiangyao defected to the enemy and rebelled.
Lian Ji's questioning cannot be refuted by anyone else.
Li Jiangyao saw that Xiahou Ninghanqiao's face was slightly red, and he was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to respond, so he smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, okay, in the lower district, a martial artist, right and wrong, insignificant." Let's get down to business, shall we? What do you say, master? ”
"Huh? Is the donor asking the old man? Hui Dian reacted: "What do you mean by business?" ”
Li Jiangyao patiently explained: "This serious matter, of course, refers to the house arrest of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Murong Xue. ”
As soon as he finished saying this, Lian Ji, who was sitting next to him, immediately turned her head to glance at him, and Li Jiangyao secretly shouted in his heart at the same time: It's bad!
Lian Ji had told him before that Engong's apprentice had told him about Murong Xue and his wife being trapped, but there was no mention of how the crown prince Li Bing was.
In other words, whether it was Murong Xue who was ordered by Xie Guang to be arrested, or Murong Xue who was ordered by the crown prince Li Bing, Lian Ji did not explain it to Li Jiangyao, and he should not know at all at this moment.
After all, the news that is now spreading everywhere outside is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is preparing to ascend the throne in the Eastern Capital and command the Xuanjia Legion to fight against the imperial court.
At this time, Li Jiangyao actually said firmly that Murong Xue was under house arrest in the palace with the prince, which shows that he must have hidden something.
Li Jiangyao secretly regretted in his heart, since he entered the house just now, he felt a little unrelenting, and now he actually made such a big mistake, it is really damn good.
His mind was spinning rapidly, and he was thinking about what kind of reason to bring the conversation back, only to hear Master Hui Dian on the other side say, "Really? What a coincidence! We came to the Eastern Capital this time to rescue them! As he spoke, he told all the things that happened before, including how to know Murong Xue and Li Bing and the others.
Compared with Li Jiangyao's suspicion, Lian Ji obviously cares more about her sister. As soon as she heard that the world-famous master and demon demon mad monk Hui Dian also planned to rescue Murong Xue and them, Lian Ji suddenly became interested: "Oh, we also have this intention." Master, how about we join forces together? One more person, one more strength. ”
She's very good at it. Hui Dian has few opponents in the rivers and lakes, and that cold Xiahou Ninghan, martial arts are obviously not under Hui Dian, if you can get the help of these two top masters and rescue her sister Rui Ji's success rate, it will inevitably increase greatly.
Li Jiangyao has not yet recovered from the gaffe just now, and at this time, looking at the topic of saving people between Hui Dian and Lian Ji, you and I are talking hotly, and I can't help but feel a little stunned that I can't speak.
He subconsciously looked at Xiahou Ninghan, who was sitting next to him without saying a word, and suddenly found that the other party was also looking at him, and his heart moved. Obviously, this girl has a deep prejudice against herself, and she is very guarded, and her smart and beautiful eyes are shining, as if she wants to look into his bones.
Alas, it would be nice if this gaze were a little more gentle, the kind with affection. Li Jiangyao thought boredly.
At this moment, Xiahou Ning Han suddenly spoke: "Lord Li, Miss Lian, regarding the matter of cooperating to save people, please forgive Ning Han for not being able to agree. ”
"Huh? Why? Li Jiangyao and Lian Ji asked in unison.
"Because both of you are not telling the truth." Xiahou Ninghan said lightly: "I can believe that you all have an urgent desire to save people, and this is not false. However, you also have some hidden secrets, or secrets, in your hearts. It is very dangerous for me to cooperate with you in such a hidden situation. ”
Xiahou Ninghan slowly got up and continued: "Besides, we have just arrived, and a lot of news has not yet been grasped, so I am afraid it is too early to talk about saving people now." The two of you will take your leave first. ”
With that, she turned around and walked out, and when Master Huidian saw this, he also quickly got up, said Amitabha, and left with her.
When Xiahou Ninghan walked to the door, he suddenly stopped again, and turned his back to Li Jiangyao and the others: "If you change your mind and decide to treat each other with sincerity, then go to the Yunlai Inn in the west of the city to find me." ”
Looking at the back of Xiahou Ninghan's departure, Li Jiangyao sat in the distance and was distracted, speechless for a long time.
Lian Ji laughed half-angrily and said on the side: "Okay, my general, the soul has been hooked by that little goblin?" Shouldn't you be honest with the slave family now? ”
"Be honest with each other?" Li Jiangyao pretended to be confused and said: "What treat each other with sincerity? ”
Lian Ji glanced at him: "Tell me, how did you know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also in prison?" ”
Li Jiangyao had already prepared at this time, and replied casually: "Oh, I think you were completely misled by that Miss Xiahou." How do I know what prince is not very sonlike? Just now, I just guessed blindly, just to probe the reality of the other party. Unexpectedly, I really got the truth from them. ”
Lian Ji couldn't determine the truth of his words for a while, so she pursed her lips angrily and asked instead, "Then what are you going to do?" Really go and help them rescue the prince? ”
Li Jiangyao put his hands behind his head and said lazily, "I don't care." You want to save your sister, they want to save Lord Murong, that is, your brother-in-law, left and right are the same thing. If I can really rescue the prince easily, maybe his old man will be happy, not only will he pardon me for his innocence, but he will also be able to make a big official. ”
"It's not like that at all!" Lian Ji was dissatisfied: "Rescuing the prince, how can it be so easy to say?" Do you think the Xuanjia Legion is an ornament? At this time, it is absolutely impossible to make extraneous branches, and it is most important to save my sister! ”
Li Jiangyao nodded, expressing his agreement with Lian Ji's statement, and then asked a question: "What do you think?" We were chatting so much just now, don't you want to join forces with them? ”
Ren Ji pondered and said, "Of course, it would be best to be able to use their power. Don't you know? The Huidian monk just now is very famous in the rivers and lakes, and he can be called a master among the masters. In addition, the little vixen, his kung fu is also unfathomable, I'm afraid it's not much worse than Hui Dian. If they are willing to take action, coupled with the help and support of Engong, and take my sister and brother-in-law out of the Eastern Capital, I don't think it's a problem. ”
"But didn't you hear them? You have a secret that is not true, and Miss Xiahou will never help. Li Jiangyao squinted his eyes and looked at Lian Ji: "Hey, what ulterior secrets do you have?" Even I hid it. ”
"What secret can I have?" Lian Ji was dissatisfied: "What she just said was that you are okay. Look at the look of a hungry ghost in your color, I can't wait to carry her to bed immediately, it is not a good thing at first glance! ”
Li Jiangyao didn't care about the nameless jealousy with her, and continued to say leisurely: "I advise you, if you want to invite those two masters to come out, it's best not to hide any favors in the future." I don't care, but Xiahou Ninghan will definitely not let it go easily. Again, if you want to get their help, you have to be honest. ”
"Phew, little slippery." Lian Jijiao leaned over with a smile, clinging to Li Jiangyao's body and coquettishly: "You still say that you don't care?" I think you've always wanted to know about my father-in-law, right? ”
Li Jiangyao hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "If you tease me like this again, I really can't control it." If you don't want to say it, don't say it, I'm not uncommon to know your bullshit benefactor. Okay, I'll go to the guest room and rest, good night. With that, he ran out of the room as if fleeing for his life.
Lian Ji's coquettish voice came from behind: "No cowards, do you want to escape again, and the slave family is alone in the empty boudoir?" …… Don't worry, I'll tell you the secret of my Eungong when the time is right! ”
-
At dawn the next day, Li Jiangyao woke up early, and sat on the couch wondering whether to contact Wang Hai and inform him of what happened last night. Unbeknownst to him, Lian Ji suddenly pushed the door in at this time, still holding a tray in her hand.
On the tray, there are two bowls of white porridge, a few oil fruits and four side dishes.
Lian Ji walked to the couch, put the tray on the couch, and said with a smile: "Official, are you awake?" Have some breakfast. ”
"You did this?" Li Jiangyao was a little stunned.
"Of course." Lian Ji said gently: "From Liangzhou to here, those who have eaten and slept in the open along the way have either been in the wilderness or staying at the post inn, and they have not been able to cook a delicious meal for the officials. Now that I'm finally at my sister's house, I'll let you taste the craftsmanship of the slave family while the kitchen is complete. ”
Li Jiangyao happily picked up the dishes and chopsticks, pulled a mouthful of porridge into his mouth, and then tasted the various dishes on the plate, and then praised it: "Well, it's delicious!" Delicious! It's a simple dish, but it's exquisitely cooked and tastes great, no worse than the chefs of those big restaurants! ”
"The officials praised it falsely." Lian Ji said happily: "It's good if the officials like it." ”
Li Jiangyao was eating in the wind and clouds, and at the same time muttered in his mouth: "Anyway, what do you want me to do?" ”
Lian Ji was a little curious: "How do you know that the slave family has something to ask for?" ”
"Get up early in the morning to make food, have nothing to do, and if you don't ......, there must be something." Li Jiangyao said vaguely.
Lian Ji glanced at him: "Hmph, I can't cook for you if it's okay?" Dislike! She put a poach in a bowl for Li Jiangyao, and then said, "I want you to make a hard trip, go to the Yunlai Inn to find Hui Dian, and ask them to help save my sister together." ”
