Seeing Wu Lai's promise, everyone put on the veil again, and moved away with a satisfied look, the light and graceful, ethereal gait was intoxicating.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Wu Lai's mouth. The method of wanting to capture the past has been used by him perfectly.

Liu Bo counted the number of casualties, and fifteen of the guards were killed, the remaining thirty-five were more or less wounded, and thirty-eight of the men were killed and nearly fifty wounded. However, the core members of the Caifeng Song and Dance Troupe are fine.

After some rectification, the painting boat continued to set sail, although there were so many dead and injured people, so that morale could not help but be a little low, but with Wu Lai there, more or less everyone had a sense of security.

Originally, Ruyan asked Wu Lai to move to the deck to live, after all, below the deck was where the subordinates lived, but Wu Lai said that he didn't want to move, he still lived in Liu Yuan's room. Seeing Wu Lai's insistence, everyone was not reluctant.

The news that Ruyan's Caifeng Painting Boat was attacked by unknown forces soon spread to Suncheon City, and King Qi was extremely furious.

"Who dares to attack everyone in my Daqi? Ruyan is the most honored guest of this king, if something happens, how will this king have face?" King Qi said angrily: "Come on, check for this king, you must find out!"

Seeing King Qi's angry appearance, the people in the palace were so frightened that they trembled.

It is rare to see King Qi angry like this, and it seems that he attaches great importance to everyone in Ruyan. It's no wonder that everyone is the lady of the sky, not only has the color of the country and the city, but also shocks the world with her talent. This is also the reason why King Qi attaches great importance to everyone like smoke.

The ministers were also shocked by the news. Fortunately, she was fine, but she was frightened! Is it unbearable to let such a beauty be frightened?

The ministers have all said that they will investigate to the end, and they must find out this matter clearly, and everyone will be fair.

Although the ministers all demanded to be investigated to the end, there was no clue to this matter, and how to investigate it was a big problem. Because of the lack of clues, this matter is equivalent to a headless public case, which is quite tricky, and the ministers did not give a good plan, and after discussing it for a long time, they did not discuss a result, and King Qi walked away.

After returning to the study, King Qi sat on the throne and said behind him, "Old Wei, what do you think about this matter?"

An old man suddenly appeared behind King Qi, and no one knew how he appeared. That old man looks like an ordinary old man, and in the vast sea of people, you must not see any difference between him and others.

"Back to the king, the old slave didn't dare to say. The old man said respectfully.

"Oh, but it doesn't hurt to say that. King Qi waved his hand and motioned for the old man to continue.

Wei Lao said softly: "The old slave suspects that it was done by King Chen Yang. ”

"Is it him?" King Qi was stunned. For King Chen Yang, King Qi was naturally a little jealous. As a prince, the power of King Chenyang is quite large, and for many years, he has been painstakingly managing his own power, and his power has been expanding, which is a great threat to the central power.

But usually King Chen Yang is very cautious, never shows flaws, and does not leave any handles, King Qi has always wanted to do something to him, but there is no suitable reason. Originally, there was no need for a reason for the king to do something to whom, but this King of Qi was a little indecisive, and some old ministers had been supporting King Chen Yang.

Now, there is often friction between the Great Qi State and the Great Yuan State on the border, and the flames of war are ignited from time to time, in fact, the Great Qi State and the Great Yuan State have always been very friendly before, and I don't know why the Great Yuan Kingdom first made trouble and provoked disputes. It was really internal and external troubles, which made King Qi very distressed.

King Qi glanced at Wei Lao and asked, "Do you have any evidence?"

"No, it's just the old slave's speculation. However, those who have this kind of strength, and dare to risk the world's condemnation like this, except for King Chen Yang, the old slave can't think of anyone else. With that, Wei Lao stopped and looked at King Qi.

King Qi nodded thoughtfully and said, "You continue." ”

Wei Lao continued: "Why do you want to attack everyone's painting boat? ”

"Knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger?" said King Qi in surprise.

"King, please think about it, why did everyone come to my Great Qi?" Wei Lao was about to continue, but King Qi interrupted impatiently: "Do you still need to think about this? Of course, I came here for the king's birthday banquet. She was the most honored guest of the king's invitation. Hurry up and get to the point. ”

Wei Lao smiled and said, "It can be said that everyone who moves like smoke is disrespectful to the king." They were clearly coming for the king's birthday feast. If there is no smoke at the king's birthday banquet to congratulate the birthday, where will the king's face be?"

King Qi bowed his head and said, "That's right! This is obviously to make this king lose face." However, isn't it possible that the Great Yuan Kingdom or the Great Song Kingdom did it?"

Wei Lao said unhurriedly: "If that's the case, they don't have to wait until they are in the Great Qi Kingdom to start. Anyway, it is to destroy the king's birthday banquet, and detain everyone for a while, and then release her when the birthday banquet is over. Besides, if you want to destroy the birthday banquet, you can also destroy it on the day of the birthday banquet, so why bother to attack the world-famous Ruyan everyone? Ruyan everyone has been warmly welcomed in the Great Yuan Kingdom and the Great Song Kingdom, and the Yuan King and the Song King also respect Ruyan everyone, and they should not attack Ruyan everyone. As far as the old slave knows, King Chen Yang is ruthless and resolute, and in order to achieve his goal, he does this kind of thing. He had always been eyeing the throne of the Great King, and if he took everyone away, he could use this to attack the prestige of the Great King, and then launch a mutiny on the day of the birthday banquet, with unimaginable consequences. ”

"What you said is very reasonable, Chen Yangwang is indeed a suspect, however, we have no evidence. For this, King Qi was very helpless. Without evidence, it cannot be proved that it was Chen Yangwang.

Wei Lao smiled bitterly: "King, even if there is evidence, we have nothing to do with him." ”

King Qi was surprised and asked, "Why?"

"If he said that he wanted to invite everyone to Chenyang to be a guest for a few days, what can you say, your lord?" Wei Lao's words made King Qi speechless.
