Kyoto

On the way to Wangjing Tower.

"Are you not full at noon or what? Why are you so grinding, hurry!"

Xiao Jun turned his head to look at Chu Fei, who was taking three steps back behind him, and said with a frown.

From the first floor of the world to the Wangjing Tower, it was not far in total, and they had been walking for almost half an hour.

"It's coming, it's coming. ”

Chu Fei promised in his mouth, but the pace under his feet never accelerated.

To tell the truth, he was reluctant to go, even in normal times, he was not qualified to have dinner with the prince, especially in this sensitive period, the emperor had already said that day, as long as it was found that the person in the court was related to the disappearance of the prince, he could be arrested directly.

If he gets too close at this time, in case the second prince is really related to the disappearance of the crown prince, then it will be difficult for him to do it. Originally, he didn't want Xiao Jun to go, but he didn't expect Xiao Jun to agree so quickly, and he had to take him with him.

So you can imagine how much he resisted, but because of Xiao Jun's identity, he didn't dare to say it clearly.

After stopping and grinding, the two finally arrived at Wangjing Tower.

And today's Wangjing Tower, it seems that it is specially for the reception of Xiao Jun, it is not open to the public, and there are guards of the second prince at the door.

In the sound of the guards' announcement, Xiao Jun took Chu Fei up to the second floor slowly, and as soon as he went upstairs, he saw the second prince Zhao Yi sitting behind a large round table, constantly looking at the staircase.

"Mr. Xuzhu, you're finally here!"

Seeing Xiao Jun appear, the second prince stood up happily and hurried to greet him.

"I'm sorry, second prince, I'm delayed, I'm late. ”

Xiao Jun smiled and hugged his fists.

"It's okay, it's okay, Mr. Xuzhu can come to give enough face, please sit down, please sit down." ”

Zhao Yi looked enthusiastic, waved his hand to show that he didn't mind, and forcibly pulled Xiao Jun and let Xiao Jun sit on the main seat.

Xiao Jun did not follow Zhao Yi's arrangement this time, but sat directly on the seat closest to him.

Seeing that Xiao Jun had already sat down, Zhao Yi coughed awkwardly, and no longer reluctantly, he sat down on the main seat, began to beckon Xiao Er to serve the food, and personally poured a glass of wine for Xiao Jun.

"Can he sit down and eat together?"

Xiao Jun pointed at Chu Fei, looked at Zhao Yi, and said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, it seems that Deputy Commander Chu has been getting close to Mr. Xuzhu recently. ”

Zhao Yi glanced at Chu Fei and said with a smile, with an obvious hint of banter in his words.

What he cares about is not the question of who sits and who doesn't, the important thing is that Chu Fei was brought by Xiao Jun, so he can sit, if Chu Fei comes by himself, he is afraid that he will not even let Chu Fei come up on the second floor.

This is also a question that Chu Fei understands in his heart, so since he came up to the second floor, he has been sitting on pins and needles, and he is a little at a loss.

Soon, the two young two brought up all the dishes, and there were all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, which were very rich.

But it was clear that none of the three people present had come to eat.

"I heard that Mr. Xuzhu has promised his father and is willing to come forward to save my eldest brother?"

Zhao Yi looked at Xiao Jun and asked as if he was seeking verification.

His eldest brother is naturally the prince who has disappeared.

"That's right. ”

Xiao Jun didn't hide it, Zhao Yi was the prince, how could he hide it?

"Then I'm going to thank Mr. for my eldest brother, I really hope that Mr. can find my eldest brother as soon as possible and bring him back. ”

Zhao Yi looked at Xiao Jun with a reverent face and said seriously.

"Does His Royal Highness want the prince to come back alive or dead?"

Xiao Jun looked at Zhao Yi and suddenly asked directly.

Listening to Xiao Jun's words, Zhao Yi and Chu Fei were stunned at the same time, they didn't expect Xiao Jun to dare to say this in Kyoto, and he was also in front of the second prince of the royal family at the same time.

For mortals, just this sentence is enough to kill all the doors.

"I don't understand what Mr. is saying, please make it clear!"

Zhao Yi's face was slightly gloomy, looked at Xiao Jun, and said slowly, obviously seeing a trace of displeasure.

"Your Highness, don't mind, I just heard some rumors, some people say that the mastermind behind the kidnapping of the crown prince may be the second highness, the purpose is to compete for the crown prince and compete for imperial power. ”

Xiao Jun said seriously, but the matter of the prince's disappearance is still a top secret, and few people know about it at all, let alone rumors.

"I don't know where I heard the rumors from Sir, but it's obvious that I'm playing tricks? If I really kidnapped my eldest brother, why do I dare to sit here and invite my husband to a dinner party?

"Besides, if something really happens to my eldest brother, then the first one to be suspected must be me, I can't hide yet, why should I dig a pit for myself? And that's my eldest brother, anyway, it's the eldest brother who is in the same vein as me, how can I unite with outsiders to kidnap my eldest brother?"

The more Zhao Yi spoke, the louder he became, and he seemed to be really angry.

Chu Fei, who was sitting next to Xiao Jun, had long been unable to sit still, because the rumors in Xiao Jun's mouth came out of his mouth, but he was just an analysis, not a positive conclusion, but he didn't expect Xiao Jun to blatantly ask the second prince directly.

"I don't think it's possible, the second prince is not stupid, even if he really wants to kill the prince, he won't choose this way, there are many ways to choose. ”

Xiao Jun shook his head with a smile and said to himself.

Originally, Zhao Yi had already smiled, but when he understood Xiao Jun's words, his face sank again, and this time he was really angry.

"Sir, please respect yourself, although I respect Mr., it does not mean that I can tolerate Mr. slandering me like this! If these rumors reach the ears of my father, I am afraid that the entire imperial city will fall into turmoil!"

Zhao Yi stared at Xiao Jun's eyes and said in a deep voice. There was already sweat on his forehead, which was obviously different from when Xiao Jun came in just now.

"Okay, then I'll punish myself with a cup and make amends to His Royal Highness, I shouldn't talk nonsense. ”

Xiao Jun shook his head, and as he spoke, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all, while secretly observing Zhao Yi's expression.

Zhao Yi's face flickered a little uncertainly, he was no longer as enthusiastic as he was at the beginning, he didn't say a word, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

Next, the two of them spoke without a word, and each other was no longer as enthusiastic as they were at the beginning, and the meal was groggy and without any atmosphere.

And Chu Fei, who was sitting on the side, didn't eat a bite, and his attention was always on the two of them, afraid that Xiao Jun would suddenly say something again.

The banquet started very late, but it ended quickly, after three rounds of drinking, Xiao Jun had something to do, said goodbye to Zhao Yi, and left Wangjing Tower with Chu Fei.

And this time Zhao Yi didn't stop it much, just symbolically politely.

The moment Xiao Jun walked out of Wangjing Tower, a sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth.

The reason why he is so straightforward is that he wants to keep Zhao Yi, who always wants to be close to him, away from him, so as not to hinder his investigation of the prince's affairs, and second, he wants to test Zhao Yi to see if the prince's disappearance has anything to do with Zhao Yi.

But Zhao Yi's answer was not leaky, even if he was angry, Xiao Jun couldn't find any fault.

But Xiao Jun understands that being angry doesn't prove anything, because people get angry after being wronged and exposed, so Zhao Yi is still the object of his suspicion.

You know, there are no three hundred taels of silver here, and you can come in reverse.
