Chapter 496: Honest Meeting
The golden afterglow of the setting sun cast on this lush mountain forest, and the runners from all over the world on the Royal Racecourse left one after another, and the tense atmosphere was blown away by the evening breeze along with the relatively successful race.
At this time, in the unmanned shed, when Mu Yuan returned, he saw that the demure and distant figure was waiting in front of him.
Xia Qianwei had already noticed the seemingly helpless gaze, and she immediately slowly stepped forward with a solemn expression, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has something to say?"
She knew he would come and give her an explanation.
Mu Yuan's eyes flashed, he couldn't help but remember the past when he was reprimanded by Xia Qianwei before, presumably this time, she was also very annoyed, right?
How many people on the field are in pity for this round of two-person matches, I thought I had the chance to win, but in the end I lost to Jin Guo by a millimeter.
And he also received the news just now, the second young master of Yunguo Liu died unexpectedly, and then remembered Xia Qianwei's deviation from the track, he didn't have to think about it to know the powerful relationship.
"It was Mu Yuan who lived up to the expectations of the county lord, saying that I was the one who wanted to win, and I was the one who chose to lose in the end. Mu Yuan knew very well in his heart that if it weren't for the fact that he was the crown prince, he would probably have become a sinner for the ages who lost this competition.
He can calmly face the accusations in everyone's hearts, but he is only worried that he will not be forgiven by Xia Qianwei.
I was going to think about it for a while to apologize, but she was waiting for her here.
Mu Yuan took a deep breath, he calmly met Xia Qianwei's slightly stern gaze, and opened his mouth with a wry smile, "Actually, I am more unwilling than anyone else, but Mu Yuan, as the prince of Chenguo, can only have this choice for the sake of the people of Li and the people." ”
He wanted to win before, because he knew that this feast of the Four Kingdoms, countless eyes were waiting for them to expose the weakness of the Chen Kingdom, these years of extravagance and decay of the imperial policy, the gold and jade outside the defeat of it, as long as they showed a trace of the decline of national strength, I am afraid that they would immediately become the target of public criticism.
"As the saying goes, people are swords, and I am fish and meat, Bianguo and Yunguo are watching the fire from the other side, and they are waiting for Jin Guo to take the lead in taking out the knife, so they can get a piece of the pie. ”
If Chen Guo loses in the first round of the individual competition, then Mu Yuan will follow the plan and win the championship on the road paved by Xia Qianwei in one fell swoop, but now Leng Yuhan and Mu Yan have demonstrated the national strength of Chen Guo, and everything will stop at the point, and there is no need to steal the demeanor of Jin Guo anymore.
Today's Chen Kingdom is not the opponent of Jin Guo at all, so why bother to be quick for a while?
"Avoid its edge, have the right to endure, taoguang to cultivate obscurity, and hit its laziness, this is what His Highness wants to say, right?" After a period of silence, Xia Qianwei showed a comfortable smile like a bright moon.
In just a few words, Mu Yuan's complex and deep thoughts that had been accumulated in his heart were unraveled, and he looked at the beautiful smile of this girl in surprise, and suddenly understood something, "Isn't the county lord of Yongle ...... Expected to do so?"
"If the courtiers really want to win, they should take the second flag, and from the beginning, the courtiers want His Highness to decide for himself. ”
As long as she wants to win, she can swap places with Mu Yuan, and she is more willing to deal with all the accidents by herself than to hand over the victory or defeat to others.
As Mu Yuan thought, the current Chen Kingdom is not suitable for dominance, and it is not good for them to completely anger the Jin Kingdom.
"His Royal Highness did not disappoint the courtiers, but made the most correct choice. If Mu Yuan is willful, then she has to reconsider whether this prince of the Chen Kingdom is worthy of her full help.
At this moment, Mu Yuan suddenly realized that Xia Qianwei had actually given him a test!
But when he met her clear eyes, he felt a trust that did not need to be expressed.
"Your Highness is tired today, go back to the palace to rest early. Xia Qianwei glanced at the pony who was waiting impatiently not far away, and smiled lightly.
"Yongle County Lord is slow!"
But he didn't want to, Mu Yuan suddenly took a step forward and grabbed her wrist, Xia Qianwei looked at his extraordinarily bright eyes in surprise, and saw that the noble man in front of him had an unprecedented seriousness on his face.
Mu Yuan seemed to be making one last thought, and after a while, he opened his mouth meaningfully, "Mu Yuan has been waiting for an opportunity, it seems that the time is right." ”
He glanced at him, and two top masters immediately appeared behind him.
This sudden appearance of the aura was completely different from the guards around Mu Yuan in the past, Xia Qianwei had always guessed that the prince of Chen Kingdom still had an unknown side, it seemed that today, he was going to be honest.
"Now that the undercurrent is surging in the court, the queen mother has begun to prepare many years ago, the county lord of Yongle is right, Mu Yuan will not let you down, in fact, Chang Feng went to the border pass, which is also what I meant, in order to stabilize the foundation in the army. ”
At this moment, the big net that the queen and the prince have secretly woven for many years is slowly opening in front of Xia Qianwei......
On the other side, deep in the woods, no one is around.
With a bang, Liu Qingfeng was punched hard in the cheek, and the sturdy man was knocked out of a tooth, and blood spilled out of the corners of his pale lips.
"So, you led the corpse away from under the nose of the King of Darkness so casually?"
Wei Xuanqi's eyes burst out with extremely cold flames, and then he laughed angrily, "That cunning and cunning Youwang, why did you let you be safe and sound? It seems that this palace's cultivation of you for many years has been in vain!"
This punch made Liu Qingfeng sober up instantly, and he looked at Liu Qinglan's corpse on the side blankly, yes, something like this happened, Youwang should have detained him and tortured him together, but he let him go so easily.
Isn't it to buy time to find out the hidden stakes they have planted in the racecourse?
The reason why Liu Qinglan was able to set a trap in the forest full of Yan Youjun's forces was because of the people who moved Wei Xuanqi without permission, he could be regarded as innocent, and for his own selfishness, he completely ruined Wei Xuanqi's hard work over the years!
I'm afraid that King You has already guessed that there is a traitor in his Yan You army!
If Fang just bit Liu Qingfeng tightly, and Wei Xuanqi got the news here, he would immediately take preventive measures, then Mu Longyuan would really lose the opportunity!
And when he led his second brother back to ask Wei Xuanqi for his guilt, he must have caught someone on Mu Longyuan's side and solved everything......
"The crime deserves death!" Liu Qingfeng's eyes showed an unconcealable horror, he was immersed in the pain of losing his brother, so he ignored the others, and instead fell into the way of the Youwang!
I saw that the man kneeling on the ground suddenly pulled out the long sword at his waist, and was about to apologize for his crimes, but was stopped by Wei Xuanqi in time.
"Your Highness?"
"The main hall said that you were going to die?"
Wei Xuanqi took a deep look at Liu Qinglan's head, quickly put away the storm in his eyes, and his tone actually revealed a bit of self-blame, "Speaking of which, Qinglan's death, the main hall is also responsible......
Damn it, it's not just this kid......
