Chapter 11: Epiphany
Xue Xue put his hands together, stuffed vegetables into his mouth, and only after eating did he realize that Chu Mo and Li Jin did not move their chopsticks.
"Your Highness, why don't you eat it?" said the snowfall with a mouth full of vegetables.
Your Highness hasn't moved the chopsticks yet, but you have eaten first. Li Jin glared at her, this girl is becoming more and more unspeakable.
Xue Xue grinned: "If you don't eat it, wouldn't it be a waste?"
Li Jin shook his head helplessly.
Suddenly, seeing Chu Mo looking downstairs, he sat down and asked softly, "Your Highness, are you looking for someone?"
Chu Mo didn't answer, squinted his eyes and said, "Now, the only person who can be trusted is Gonggong Li and Xue Xue." But if you want to fight against the enemy in the shadows, it is far from enough, and you can't even protect yourself. Therefore, Lone must gather a group of people as soon as possible to form his own forces. ”
"Your Highness is planning to recruit these people from the rivers and lakes?" Li Jin frowned, "This is indeed a rare good knife, and there is no need to worry about adulteration, just ......"
"Just what?" Chu Mo looked up and asked.
"It's just that these people in the rivers and lakes are all unruly people, and I'm afraid they won't easily accept His Highness's solicitation. The eldest prince and the fourth prince also secretly sent people to solicit them, but they were beaten back by indiscriminately. In addition, there is an unwritten rule in this Wangjiang Tower, that is, regardless of state affairs, only talk about the rivers and lakes. ”
As soon as he said this, Chu Mo understood.
In Chu Mo's memory, he had never heard of this incident.
Presumably, the eldest prince and the fourth prince sent people to Wangjiang Tower to recruit knights from the rivers and lakes, and it was extremely hidden.
Even in the name of someone else.
But Li Jin knows the inside story, and it is conceivable that he has been paying close attention to the movements of the eldest and fourth children, and secretly collecting intelligence for His Royal Highness the Prince.
It's a pity that the original Royal Highness the Crown Prince was born a fool and couldn't understand Li Jin's good intentions.
Suddenly, Chu Mo looked at Li Jin with more appreciation in his eyes.
He glanced at the snowfall at the same time, and found that the snowfall only cared about eating and drinking, and was not interested in what they were talking about, Chu Mo rubbed his forehead.
This girl......
He stretched out his hand for Li Jin to whisper his plan to Li Jin.
After Li Jin listened, his face was suddenly filled with disbelief: "Your Highness, can this method really work?"
"Jianghu people, when using the law of rivers and lakes to solicit, believe that Lonely, this method will definitely work. ”
Chu Mo lifted the tea and took a sip and smiled confidently.
Seeing this, Li Jin had no choice but to nod silently and agree with his idea.
After all, he has been thinking about it for so many years, and he has not come up with a better way than this, it is better to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who suddenly changed sex, give it a try, in case it doesn't work, it will only cost some money.
The most important thing to do is money.
After the matter was finalized, Chu Mo and Li Jin finally began to move their chopsticks.
When you arrive at this Wangjiang Tower, if you don't have a little meat and wine on your mouth, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.
The three of them ate until the evening, then left Wangjiang Tower and walked around the city in a carriage.
After the food was consumed, Chu Mo looked at the snow with a smile: "Snowfall, the taste of the wine and food just now is okay?"
"Not bad. ”
The snowfall bar sighed and replied casually.
"Then can you help Gu do something now?" Chu Mo hit the snake with the stick.
Xue Xue pulled his face and rolled his eyes: "I knew that His Highness would not be so kind." ”
Chu Mo laughed: "If this thing is done well, Lone will often take you to Wangjiang Tower to eat and drink in the future." ”
When Xue Xue heard him say this, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"
Chu Mo smiled mysteriously, took out a few sparks of startling horse incense from his arms, and whispered a few words to her.
The snow fell suddenly, collected the few startling horse incense, and jumped out of the carriage at night.
Li Jin glanced at Chu Mo and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
In the past, he was worried that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be calculated, but now, it is the turn of those people to worry......
So, that night, all the horses raised in the stables of the Great Prince's Mansion and the Fourth Prince's Mansion rushed out of the stables as if they were going crazy.
Running around in the house, the people under the maids screamed and screamed, and the city was full of wind and rain.
It wasn't until the middle of the night that the screams stopped.
............
In the blink of an eye, it was time for the review.
The so-called proofreading, in addition to poetry, is that the royal family wants to try the talents and knowledge of each prince, and throw them a hot topic at the moment, so that they can express their opinions.
Again, for Chu Mo, a liberal arts student and a graduate student in history, this matter is very easy.
As long as he doesn't curse Emperor Chu and his mother on the spot, this small proofreading is just a formality for him, and there is basically no difficulty.
Early in the morning, Chu Mo led the snow all the way to the school review ground.
As for Li Jin, he hurried out early in the morning according to the plan set in the restaurant......
When I got off the carriage, there were already a lot of people gathered in the school review room, but most of them were the guards of the school review room and the invigilators of the school review.
Of course, there are also some children of the family who ran outside the school parade to watch this assessment of the princes.
These powerful sons and daughters are usually very good at making friends, and now they will not let go of this opportunity, once they see a powerful prince, they will immediately cling to it and take the initiative to show their goodwill.
But when they saw Chu Mo coming over, they were like seeing a plague god, and they were so frightened that they retreated.
Chu Mo had a cold face, and scolded the former prince in his heart.
How fucking bastard does this have to be to make so many people afraid?
As the two of them were walking, they suddenly noticed that the children of the powerful were rushing behind them, and the group of people divided into two groups, quietly waiting under the two richly decorated carriages, looking at them with a blank eye.
Chu Mo recognized the carriage of the eldest prince and the fourth prince at a glance, he turned his head to Xue Xue and said, "Do you think these people look like dogs waiting for people to?"
Xue Xue laughed loudly: "Your Highness, let them hear it, I'm afraid they will be angry." ”
Chu Mo sneered: "Let's go, these are other people's dogs, we can't count on them!"
And yet at this moment.
A faint voice came from behind.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, you are in such a hurry to leave, is it because you dislike the humble status of our two brothers, and you can't wait for me?"
Xue Xue frowned, and immediately blocked in front of Chu Mo, glaring at the eldest prince and the fourth prince with a cold face.
Whoever listens to these weird words will know that the other party is looking for trouble.
Chu Mo pulled her behind him and said with a faint smile: "Don't panic, there is a lonely place!"
Xue Xue was stunned: "Your Highness ......"
Chu Mo waved his hand: "It's okay, today, it's time to face it by yourself." ”
Chu Mo clearly remembered that when he met the eldest prince and the fourth prince in the past, it was Xue Xue who stood in front, protecting him with open hands, not allowing the other party to have a chance to bully him, the stupid prince.
And now, it's time for him to stand up and face everything in front of him alone......
