Chapter 21: Swallows

The young man nodded again.

The entourage followed and reported in a low voice: "Now that someone has discovered the abnormality in the Lu Mansion, the yamen has been alarmed, and has begun to investigate the case and reported it to Your Majesty." The prince ......"

The young man waved his sleeve and said, "Let them check! But you should pay special attention to see if there are any smart enough people." If so, don't hesitate!" He raised his right hand and made a motion to wipe his neck.

The entourage comprehended and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, the prince will never let them suspect this!"

The young man nodded: "Okay, you go!"

After the entourage left, the young man looked up at the pair of swallows again, and his eyes showed a look full of emotion: "You swallows, every year you return to the nest in spring, lay eggs in summer, fly south in autumn, spend winter in the warm south, and come back after spring...... Although your life is just monotonous, it is really simple, self-satisfied, and not so much troubled. ”

He sighed and said, "What about me, although I am a prince, I always have to worry about this and that, especially the betrayal of my subordinates. This Lu Ming ...... Why do you secretly make a secret pact with Wu Peng behind the back of this king to take my head? What does this king have to do with him?"

After dark, Ling Ye changed his outfit and left the Marshal's Mansion among the servants. Not all the servants in the marshal's mansion lived in the marshal's mansion, and some of them were handymen who came to work for nothing and returned to their homes at night. Ling Ye didn't want to be watched, so he chose this method to sneak out of the door.

He walked towards the dense crowd, moving in and out of the crowd, and had to change his clothes. After realizing that no one was watching, he walked back to Que Wan'er's current residence.

It was still Yao who opened the door, and said with a smile to him: "You are so amazing, today's events have spread everywhere, and my sister admires you so much!"

Ling Ye shook his head: "It's nothing, anyway, Lu Ming is also my enemy, and I will always kill him." ”

Yao grinned and said, "Young Master Ling, mine is not Lu Ming! it was you who wittily dealt with the three problems of the Hu envoy in the court!"

Midnight: "...... It turned out to be this thing. That's not that hard! I just know that. ”

Yao smiled and winked at him: "Sister, because I admire you so much, I have been waiting for you to come over, so I want to toast you well." ”

Ling Ye was startled: "Forget the wine, right? Since the last time, I have had lingering palpitations about wine, and my heart is pounding." ”

Yao covered his mouth and smiled: "Is there a snake shadow in the cup? Hehe, don't worry! You won't drink any more wine with the Seven Days Death Pill in it!"

While talking, Que Wan'er turned out of the inner room, smiled and said to him a blessing: "Ling Gongzi is back! ”

Ling Ye suddenly became a little embarrassed: "...... This one...... To tell the truth, I hope you will be happy when you learn about Lu Ming's death. ”

Que Wan'er said: "That is indeed worth rejoicing." I have burned incense in front of my father's spirit during the day and told him, and I think his spirit will rejoice in it. He's not looking at the wrong person!"

Midnight: "...... Don't praise me, can you? I thought of burning incense in front of your father's spiritual throne. ”

Que Wan'er smiled and led him to Que De's spiritual seat. Ling Ye lit three sticks of incense, bowed to the spiritual seat, and inserted the incense into the incense burner.

Que Wan'er looked into his eyes and said, "I guess, you're not here for this?"

Ling Ye said: "I really can't hide anything from you." I do have something to discuss with you. He briefly told her about this in the Marshal's Mansion, and finally said: "Tian Duxing's appearance is very suspicious to me, especially when he saw me and ran away. This is obviously a weak heart, afraid that I will ask something. ”

Que Wan'er was silent for a while, and said, "Brother Ling, I think you can also guess that Tian Duxing is nothing more than two possibilities. First, he was sent by Wu Peng, and second, he was sent by Wu Peng's opponent. If it is Wu Peng's person, then he will indeed have a weak heart, and if Wu Peng's opponent sent him, then he is not weak-hearted, but uses the counter-strategy you use, so he sets up a suspicious array, so that you can doubt Wu Peng. ”

Ling Ye smiled bitterly: "That's pretty much it, and there's no way to tell which one it is at the moment." ”

Que Wan'er thought for a while and said, "I don't know much about Wu Peng, and I haven't been to the Marshal's Mansion to spy on anything, so I can't do it for the time being." However, what kind of person is Wu Peng as you see it?"

Ling Ye said: "His city is very deep, and he always looks like he is smiling, but I can see that there is another meaning behind the smile. ”

Que Wan'er snorted: "What else?"

Ling Ye said: "He is a very stoic person. He was once defeated at the hands of the Knights of the Southern Holy Capital, and suffered slander, white eyes, and insults in the imperial capital, and from then on, he worked hard, and finally rose to the rank of imperial marshal with military exploits. However, I think, he has not yet defeated the Knights of the Holy Capital in the south, because the two countries have not fought recently. ”

Que Wan'er thought for a while and said, "This shows that he is a very scheming and very tolerant person. If this kind of person has no plans, it's fine, but once he has a plan, it's definitely very big!"

Ling Ye snorted, and said, "I'm still thinking about some of the stories that Tian Duxing once told me, I don't know if it's true or not...... If he was sent out by Wu Peng, then it seems that those stories should not be known. ”

Que Wan'er: "What's the story?"

Ling Ye's face was hot, and he said a little vaguely: "Tian Duxing, Wu Peng was beaten into a eunuch who was not a eunuch by the people of the Holy Capital Knights. If he was sent out by Wu Peng, then this kind of disgrace seems to be undeserved. ”

Que Wan'er gave him a blank look: "Then according to what you see, what is Wu Peng...... Ahem, is it a eunuch?"

Ling Ye shook his head and said, "I know this too." Anyway, I didn't see that he had a wife, concubines, and children, but only that his righteous daughter was as cold as frost. And cold as frost, yours, she ...... Ice is clear and jade. ”

Que Wan'er snorted, raised her head and thought about it, and said, "Leng Rushuang's injury will heal quickly on its own...... This reminds me of something, something very old, yes, it's a ......."

Ling Ye asked, "What legend?"

Que Wan'er said: "About a mysterious kingdom that has disappeared. The origin of Leng Rushuang, where did Wu Peng meet her, and how did she adopt her...... Well worth checking out!"
