Chapter 192: The Intention of the Ten Princes
"This ......"
Steward Fan suddenly looked at Li Ji with some embarrassment, he couldn't do anything about this.
Li Ji's face also changed slightly when he heard this, according to his previous arrangement, he planned to take advantage of the fact that these people in the Hundred Beast Mountain were fighting with the golden retriever, and they divided a few people to secretly go to the grotto to take out the things left by that person. He had also led a large group of men and horses to go there several times before, but they were all blocked by the golden retriever at the entrance of the cave, and he lost a lot of money if he didn't get anything.
Fortunately, Steward Fan had a friend who was a disciple of Hundred Beasts Mountain, and once mentioned that there was a pair of strange beasts in Shimen, and referring to his description, Steward Fan deduced that the pair of strange beasts in his Shimen was this golden retriever, so he told Li Ji to send someone to send the letter to Hundred Beasts Mountain. Sure enough, as he expected, as soon as the people of Hundred Beast Mountain saw the letter, they immediately flew pigeons and sent a message saying that the person would arrive soon, which made the master and servant more careful while being happy, and secretly prepared a lot of tricks. However, they didn't expect that the other party was actually Zhong Ziqi, the elder of the Hundred Beast Mountain, and as soon as he came, he had to go alone, which made them all a little dumbfounded.
Zhong Zigui, who had been overjoyed since receiving the letter, didn't know that there was not just one golden retriever there, but several. And any of them is not comparable to the semi-domesticated golden retrievers in their mountains.
It's not that Li Ji deliberately concealed what ulterior motives he wanted to achieve, but he was purely worried that if the other party was also afraid of the golden retriever, wouldn't it be in vain. But these words can't be said to the other party, so it is inevitable that there will be some moments.
Time is life for Li Ji, and he can't afford to delay it, otherwise even if he finally gets that kind of thing, I'm afraid General Tang's family will already be ......
In a short period of time, countless thoughts had flashed through Li Ji's mind, and his brows were furrowed more and more.
"Lord Wang!"
Li Ji woke up from his contemplation and found that several people were looking at him in amazement.
He looked at Zhong Ziqi, who was already obviously impatient, and said with determination: "Since this is the case, this king will go with Mr. Zhong." "His little abacus is very simple, if he goes, he will inevitably bring some guards, and the other party will not say much because of his identity, and it will be much easier to do something else when the time comes.
"Lord Wang, don't do it!" Steward Fan was frightened when he heard this, and knelt on the ground with a thud and said, "Lord Wang, you are a body of ten thousand gold, and it is really not suitable to get involved." If there is any mistake, let alone the dozens of people in the palace, I am afraid that the people of Liangzhou City will suffer. I hope the prince will think twice!"
Li Ji was stunned when he heard this, he didn't think about it so much, but what Fan Guan said was not unreasonable, if something happened to a dignified prince, then the company would be widespread.
Steward Fan obviously had a plan, and continued: "Let your subordinates take them around." ”
Li Ji pondered for a moment and said, "It's okay! I don't know what Mr. Zhong thinks?"
Zhong Ziqi nodded and said, "It is naturally best to be led by Steward Fan, and it must save a lot of trouble." The trouble he was referring to was, of course, the officials who were checking at the city gates.
Seeing the two leave the room, Li Jicai let out a long sigh and sat on the chair without speaking for a long time.
Ji Wufu didn't bother, just poured himself a drink and waited quietly.
"National Teacher!" Li Ji suddenly called.
Ji Wuyi put down the wine glass in his hand and arched his hand: "What does the prince command?"
Li Ji shook his head and said: "I can't talk about the order, it's just that I talked to the national teacher about the alliance between the two countries some time ago, I don't know what your country's opinion is after the national teacher sends a message back?"
"There has been a reply!" Ji Wuyi took out a red lacquer sealed letterhead from his bosom, walked up to Li Ji, and handed it over with both hands, "Please take a look at the prince!"
Li Ji took the secret letter and opened it, took out the letterhead from it and read it, a smile suddenly bloomed on his face, and said: "This is very good, after this king goes back, he will be the emperor's brother and prepare to welcome your country's mission." The more he thought about it, the more he felt happy, and said, "The national teacher has really contributed to the diplomatic relations between the two countries this time, and this king toasts you with tea instead of wine." After speaking, he raised the teacup in his hand.
Ji Wuyi got up and raised his wine glass and bowed down: "The prince is serious, these are just things that are within the scope of the next thing." Moreover, it is a good thing for both countries to reach a friendly alliance. We also do not want to see a scene where war is raging and the people are in dire straits. ”
"Well said!" Li Ji laughed and drank all the tea in his hand, and said with feeling, "Once the war starts, the most bitter people are the people of Limin." If we can resolve these calamities with just a few things, it is really a supreme merit. National teacher, this king will give you another glass. After speaking, he raised the teacup and drank it again, the end of that heroism, I didn't know that I really thought he was drinking wine.
Ji Wuyi then raised his wine glass and drank it all, and said, "In addition, the imperial concubine has a small matter that I hope the prince can help." ”
Li Ji's eyes were slightly red at this time, and there was also a trace of sadness on his face, and when he heard this, he said, "I don't know what the imperial concubine needs to serve this king?"
"It's not a big deal. Ji Wuyi smiled and said, "A few days ago, there were a few assassins in the palace, which was not a big deal, and those assassins were caught by the guards just after they appeared. ”
Li Jiqi said: "Isn't that good?"
"The problem is really after the capture of these assassins. Who knew that there was no blame, but shook his head and said, "Those assassins later confessed, saying that they were instructed by Murong Hao. The news reached His Majesty's ears, causing His Majesty to be furious and ordered that Murong Hao return to the palace to resume his life. Unexpectedly, on the way back to the palace, he suddenly injured several guards and fled. It wasn't until the border with your country that he was found again, but just as we were about to catch him, he fled into the territory of your country......" At this point he stopped and bent down deeply at Li Ji, "Therefore, our country hopes to use the power of the prince to arrest that Murong Hao." ”
Li Ji was obviously a little unclear about the situation, and said suspiciously: "I don't know what the origin of this Murong Hao is, why is he so bold to send someone into the palace to assassinate?"
Ji Wuyi said: "The prince doesn't know, this Murong Hao is a prince left by the former queen of our country. This prince has been extremely stubborn since he was a child, and he can barely manage it when the first queen is alive. But since the death of the former empress, this prince has become more and more lawless, and these majestys have connived at him in the face of the former empress. Unexpectedly, one day he suddenly broke into the palace and kept saying that His Majesty and the imperial concubine had killed his mother...... You know, if that gets out, it's okay. His Majesty put him under house arrest and wanted him to meditate on himself. As a result, it didn't take long for the assassination to happen......"
Not far from their room, Yun Xiu and Luo Chen, who were lying on the wall eavesdropping, couldn't help but look at each other, they didn't expect that the Black Sand Country was not peaceful, and there was infighting in the royal family like this, no wonder they would agree to sue for peace. However, this plan is blameless, and they keep saying that the prince is stubborn, but they don't believe it. It's not because these two people know much about the twists and turns of the royal family, they are purely judging people by their appearance, and when they hear the soft and coquettish voice of this national teacher, they get goosebumps all over their bodies, and then feel that the emperor who favors the national teacher is no better.
"Murong Hao, why does this name sound so familiar?" Luo Chen couldn't help but mutter.
His voice was extremely low, Yun Xiu didn't hear it too clearly, and couldn't help but ask, "What did you say?" Before he finished speaking, his face suddenly changed, and the whole person flashed to the side.
As soon as Yun Xiu dodged away, a red scorpion appeared where he was standing, raising his scorpion tail to demonstrate to the two.
Luo Chen's face turned cold when he saw this, and a silver needle had already shot away with a wave of his hand, nailing the red scorpion that was showing off his might on the floor and turning into a dead red scorpion, and then hurriedly swept to Yun Xiu's side, and said with concern: "How are you?"
Yun Xiu shook his head and didn't answer, his face had begun to turn blue at this moment, which was a sign of poisoning, and then he took out a pill from his arms and took it, closed his eyes and breathed for a moment before he spoke: "It's not a big deal! Fortunately, I flashed fast, but I was touched by a tail thorn." This thing is so poisonous that I almost caught it. This national teacher is not simple, let's go!"
Luo Chen nodded, and the two of them silently touched towards the door.
