Early in the morning, a street stall in the outer city.

Nangong Que frowned and looked at the bowl of plain noodles on the table, secretly distracted.

On the opposite side, a man in white picked up hot noodles and couldn't wait to put them in his mouth, and the sound of noodles attracted the attention of the guests at the next table.

This gorgeous costume, as well as the bald old man behind him, are incompatible with this market no matter how you look at it.

"It's still delicious pasta from the north!" Miao Gongzi exclaimed.

"Lord Nangong, please, what are you doing in a daze?"

Nangong Que raised his eyes and looked at the hairless old man who had been looking at him, and said, "I am busy with official business on weekdays, and I don't have the habit of eating breakfast." ”

As soon as the words fell, his stomach screamed uncontrollably.

Miao Gongzi hooked the corners of his mouth, and after dividing the noodles in the bowl by two, he poured the soup base into his stomach with all his heart.

"Lord Nangong, don't worry, there are people from Xiao Wang all around, and there will be no spies from His Majesty mixed in."

"The prince laughed." Nangong Que replied.

"Let's talk about it, what's going on with Wei Cheng and your two brothers, how did they become His Majesty's spies?" Miao Gongzi casually took the handkerchief handed over by the hairless old man and gently wiped the corners of his mouth.

"It's all arranged by Duke Wei, I don't know much about it, and I ask the prince to forgive me." Nangong Que arched his hand.

"Lord Nangong, this can't be trusted by Xiao Wang......"

"Don't dare, what you say below is the truth, where will you deceive Your Highness." Nangong Que remembered the note that her daughter brought back in the middle of the night, and beads of sweat gradually oozed from her forehead.

What kind of calculation is this Wen Chen? Didn't you pass the anger a long time ago, why didn't you let yourself say a word......

Miao Gongzi was not angry, and smiled casually, "Then before Wei Cheng died, did he leave any important instructions for your two brothers, such as ...... He wants to get his hands dirty? ”

Nangong Que's body trembled, looking at the young face in front of him, and suddenly felt as if he had been stripped naked and thrown on the street.

"Duke Wei has always been cautious in doing things, and he hasn't said anything to me and Brother Dongfang, and didn't he send a secret letter to Yuzhou before the accident, doesn't His Royal Highness the Prince know the content of the letter?"

Whew-

Miao Gongzi breathed a long sigh of relief, "Wei Cheng said in the letter that he asked his father to wait for good news, he has sent someone to demolish His Majesty, and nothing else has been mentioned. ”

"Demolishing Your Majesty?" Nangong Que's expression was dazed, this was not something he deliberately showed, but he really didn't know what His Royal Highness the Prince was talking about.

"What does His Highness the Prince mean?"

"Wei Cheng didn't tell you two?" Miao Gongzi raised his eyebrows, looking very surprised.

Nangong Que shook his head, "Never mentioned it." ”

When Miao Gongzi heard this, he suddenly grinned, "Then forget it, it's not good for Lord Nangong to know about this." ”

"By the way, Xiao Wang is very interested in that Wen Chen, why don't Lord Nangong and Xiao Wang confide in the deeds of this new factory duke, how about it?"

Nangong Que's face was embarrassed, he naturally felt that it was not a big deal to talk to the prince about these things, but Wen Chen had his life first, and he didn't dare to make a claim.

"Forgive me for being stupid, Gonggong Wen's affairs are also very little known in the next place, but I have occasionally dealt with them in the past two days, so it is difficult to answer the questions of the prince."

Miao Gongzi bowed slightly, while the expression of the hairless old man behind him looked more and more serious.

"Then Lord Nangong Que, can you do Xiao Wang a favor?"

"No!" Nangong Que blurted out subconsciously.

"But Xiao Wang hasn't said what he needs help from adults?" Miao Gongzi laughed.

"This ...... This ......" Nangong Que is a little cramped, it's not that he hasn't seen the world, if he just makes up nonsense and copes with it, then he has a hundred ways to fool this son.

But Wen Chen's orders were so strange that he really couldn't think of how to deal with them.

"By the way, in a few days, it will be the Queen Mother's birthday, and the lower officials are in charge of the defense of the inner city, so they may not be able to spare time to serve His Royal Highness the Prince, and please forgive His Royal Highness!"

"Oh——, I see." Miao Gongzi smiled and waved his hand gently, "Since Lord Nangong is busy with official business, then Xiao Wang will not occupy the precious time of adults, please take advantage of it." ”

When Nangong Que heard this, he was relieved.

Got up and hugged his fists at the two, "Say goodbye!" ”

After that, he blended into the flow of people on the street.

"Childe, there is something wrong with this Nangong Sparrow!" The hairless old man suddenly said coldly.

Miao Gongzi smiled easily, poured the plain noodles in front of Nangong Que into his bowl, and stirred the noodles with chopsticks, "It's a problem, but it's not a big problem." ”

"Old Ma, tell the people outside the Zhenguo Division to withdraw, there's no need to keep an eye on it."

The hairless old man's face was shocked, "What does Childe mean by this?" ”

"Nangong Que's behavior now is obviously self-preservation, no one dares to believe it, he is doing this for no more than two reasons."

"Please make it clear!"

"First, after the death of Wei Cheng and Dongfang Yuan, he was the only one in the imperial city, and he was afraid that His Majesty would suddenly find out Wei Cheng's bottom and implicate himself, so he was cautious on weekdays, which is understandable."

"Then Nangong Que shouldn't be so protective of his son, could it be that he has forgotten who his master is?" The old horse frowned.

Wow -

Miao Gongzi suddenly knocked on the edge of the bowl, "This is the second reason that this king wants to say, his master has always been Wei Cheng, as soon as Wei Cheng dies, he will be very embarrassed for a small role, both afraid that His Majesty will clean him up, and afraid that after his father loses his cronies here, he will give up his plan and choose to befriend His Majesty, and hand him over as an abandoned son." ”

"Nangong Que is so cautious, because he is afraid that this king will set him up."

"Ao ——, I see!" Lao Ma nodded suddenly in realization, "It's still the son who can see it thoroughly!" ”

"In this way, the prince's plan has not been exposed, and Wei Cheng's death is also a coincidence!"

"Well, it seems like this at the moment." Miao Gongzi nodded lightly, "It's just that this king didn't expect that Wei Cheng was also a two-faced and three-knife person, eating from the bowl and looking at the pot, and finally put his life into it, but it's okay, it's clean when he dies, anyway, my father has some opinions about his past style." ”

"But in the capital of Keshang, there can't be no one without the prince, why don't the old slaves go and knock that Nangong Sparrow again?" The old horse bowed and proposed.

Miao Gongzi raised his hand, a sharp gaze flashed in his eyes, "No need, this person is embarrassed, and with his current situation, he doesn't have the courage to work with us." ”

"Wouldn't that prince be very passive when he entered Shangjing this time?" The old horse said worriedly.

"Passive?" Miao Gongzi snorted, "In this world, he is not the only living person!" ”

"Childe already has a suitable candidate?"

Miao Gongzi smiled and nodded, "This king looks at Wen Chen well, he has some ability, and he is young enough, even if it takes a few more decades, Xiao Wang can afford to wait." ”

The old horse touched his bald head, "But the old slave heard that this Wen Chen and His Majesty are very close, will it be difficult to buy?" ”

Miao Gongzi glanced at him and said meaningfully, "Wei Cheng was also very close to the first emperor at the beginning. ”

"Boss, check out!"

"Okay uncle, a total of six articles!"

When the old horse heard this, he took out a piece of broken silver and threw it on the table, and the boss was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to thank him.

But the next moment, the broken silver was quickly taken into his arms by Miao Gongzi, and he glared at the bald head, "The flowers, the province!" ”

After that, he took out six copper coins from his purse and patted them in the boss's hand, "It tastes good, my son will come tomorrow." ”

And then walked away.

"Childe, let's go to the Wen Chen Mansion now?"

"Don't be in a hurry, let's take a look around this Shangjing City first, this king is so big, I have never seen such a prosperous place, this place is much better than Lincheng......"

"By the way, help Benwang watch it, if there is any fresh food on the street, remember to remind Benwang!"
