HOG _ Chapter - 60

Tricky

Genius Long originally thought that the queen was the kind of noble and dignified, restrained and sharp beauty snake. Any sentence can bring out multiple meanings. Perhaps she is also very good at acting. If you want to cry, you can cry and laugh. When you cry, the saint has to be soft when he sees it, but when he sees it with his own eyes, he is firmly startled.

This is a very gentle woman, who seems to be able to see the whole picture at a glance-a husband and a son, a stable life. If you are in an ordinary family, you might have to add male ploughing and female weaving.

There is a restrained gentleness in this person, and the queen's luxurious dress has become a foil. Genius Long's first reaction was that the news was wrong. Maybe the assassin was sent by someone else. They actually misunderstood others, but he changed his mind and thought about where the harem was. Since this person can sit in the position of the queen, how can it be underestimated?

He slowly sorted out his thoughts and stood behind Yun Xian with his head down. Anyway, he is not Xiao Wang Ye of Shenghua now, even if he is unlucky, it is not his turn.

Tai Wenkuan was originally worried, but he didn't feel relieved the moment he saw the queen. This was an incredible thing. He used his bad brain to think for a long time, and finally came to one conclusion. That is, the queen is really scary and disgusted.

Genius Long glanced at him secretly, and silently turned his head away, thinking to himself that if this person died, it would be really unjust.

Xiang Honghui and Xiang Hongyang were also present today. Genius Long looked at Xiang Hongyang dryly, knowing that they were too different from each other to talk casually, so he had to endure the urge to rush over to get the antidote for the time being. He stood obediently, turned his gaze slightly, and looked at the initiator of the banquet, the crown prince.

On the day he first came to Zenan, he had seen this person from a distance at a state banquet, but at that time he was thinking about keeping a low profile, so he didn't dare to look more. At this moment, he couldn't help but look carefully. The crown prince has a Confucian aura and seems to have a very good temper. There is no feeling of arrogance and domineering at all. His eyebrows are a bit like Xiang Honghui, but he doesn't have that evil aura. He is very approachable.

A gentle queen and an elegant crown prince were completely unexpected from the bottom of his heart, and the scene could only be described with kindness.

They were not the only one's present, but also several imperial relatives. Some of them had young and beautiful men and women sitting beside them. When Genius Long saw this, he took advantage of the situation and sat next to Yun Xian. He moved his body back a little and whispered, "Xiao Yun Xian, why do I think it's weird?"

"Indeed," Yun Xian said, "I don't feel any hostility at all. Do you think we have wronged others?"

"But my brother gave the note to Zhan Lingyan at the beginning. He didn't have to lie to us, and we really met assassins at the station. This can't be fake, right?”

"Well...also," Yun Xian responded, and then smiled, "Why do you care so much? After dinner, you go to Xiang Hongyang. As long as the antidote is in hand, let's go and let them fight."

"Hey, it makes sense.”

More than a dozen musicians were already in place, holding musical instruments and waiting patiently. At the beginning of the banquet, the silk and bamboo sounded in unison, which was very nice. Then he saw a team of Wuji fish rushing in, their sleeves fluttering, very smart.

Since Xiang Hongyang listened to Genius Long's suggestion, he took the initiative to talk to Xiang Honghui, intending to join forces with him. Although the latter did not make a clear statement, he did not explicitly refuse. The relationship between the two seems to be closer than before, which can be seen at a glance.

Genius Long was bored, so he silently observed them. It stands to reason that the two joined forces. Even if the mother and son were calm and saw it at first glance, they should have expressed something, but he looked at it. The expressions of the two remained the same, and they didn't take this matter as a threat, as if the dragon chair was already in the bag, and it couldn't get away anyway.

Moreover, at this banquet, the two of them treated them completely as a landlord's friendship, without the slightest intention of wooing them. Although the crown prince and Zhan Lingyan had a lot of talks, this was not surprising. Zhan Lingyan's appointment as the next monarch of Gu Shu is a sure thing, and the crown prince should have a good relationship with him.

"Brother, I feel more and more weird about Zenan." Yun Xian was also observing, and finally couldn't help it.

"I think so too," Genius Long said in a low voice, "Maybe things are not what we thought at the beginning."

"It's not like that. What can it be like? Could it be that the queen sent someone to kill monster just to kill and play?”

"Who knows..." Genius Long looked carefully, and suddenly found that the queen's eyebrows were faintly gloomy. Most of the time, she didn't speak. She just chatted with Xiang Honghui occasionally. What she said was nothing more than homely, such as the weather getting colder and wearing more clothes. The crown prince sometimes smiled and interjected next to him. Obviously, he has a very good friendship with Xiang Honghui.

Most of the people here are princes, and it is inevitable that the topic will be about some political affairs. The queen is inconvenient to stay longer. She left the table soon. When she left, she didn't forget to take a look at Xiang Honghui. The gloomy color seemed to be heavier.

Xiang Honghui turned the wine glass and watched her back go away, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Xiao Yun Xian..." Genius Long said in horror, "Do you think my sister-in-law will climb the wall behind my brother's back?"

"Are you confused; can you tell the order? Even if he climbs the wall, he is now climbing with the queen on his back and climbing towards your brother..." Yun Xian's tone was also terrifying, he was calm, and said weakly, "Brother, we're overthinking this, aren't we? The queen is the monster's aunt."

"So what? Wherever love is, no matter what their relationship is, maybe the queen kills people because of love and hate. What can a woman do for the man she loves? But my brother was obsessed, but he didn't expect that person to have something in his heart..." He looked at Xiang Honghui before he finished a word, with a smile in his peach blossom eyes, as if he expected them to guess indiscriminately, and his gaze could almost see them inside and out see through.

Genius Long and Yun Xian shook suddenly, lowered their heads to eat obediently, and did not think about it anymore.

The meal was not long, and the crown prince still had important things to do. Although another after-party program was arranged, their minds were actually not at the banquet. After only a while, they got up and left.

Genius Long was thinking about the antidote in his heart and looked at someone expectantly. Xiang Hongyang and the monster happened to be standing together. He was suddenly startled when he looked at it. He saw that the monster was staring at a place, and his eyes, which had never been emotional, were complicated. He followed this person's gaze and looked over. That corner happened to be where the crown prince's back disappeared.

Yun Xian was saying goodbye to the princes, and he had to say a few polite words. Genius Long slowly shrank back, stood in front of the facial paralysis, and whispered: "Actually, it's a love affair.”

General Gu didn't attend the meeting just now, and many things were unclear. He was surprised when he heard what he said: "What do you mean?”

"To the effect that the queen likes monster, but the monster like the crown prince, so the queen is unwilling, and in line with the principle that I can't get it and I don't want others to get it, she sends troops to kill people.”

General Gu knew that although Xiao Wang Ye loved to play, he never joked about major events. At first glance, he froze when he heard this: "Couldn't be wrong? The assassin at the courier station at that time was obviously targeting Xiao Wang Ye."

Genius Long was startled: "The result is almost the same. Anyway, if things turn out to be unlucky in the end, it will be the monster. Their relationship is completely unexpected. You haven't seen the queen's sad little eyes when she looked at the monster, nor the complicated eyes of the monster when he saw the crown prince leave. I'm telling you that there is definitely something tricky between them.”

General Gu still felt incredible, but it was hard to say much at this time. Yun Xian had already returned, and the group left the palace. Xiang Hongyang finally got time and said with a smile: "There is a famous teahouse in the capital in front of. Is the prince interested in going for a cup of tea?" Although he said it to Yun Xian, his gaze swept towards Genius Long intentionally or unintentionally. The latter knew that this was about the antidote and was immediately excited.

Yun Xian naturally knew it, so he should go down. Tai Wenkuan was with them. At this time, he didn't want to go back first, so he followed.

Xiang Honghui looked at it, his face was silent, and he didn't know if he was happy to see it happen. Zhan Lingyan glanced at him and whispered: "The people you want to check have already been found, and this king has arrested them, but this king's people are inconvenient to stay longer, do you want to meet?”

He was already scaring the grass and scaring the snake, not to mention the sentence that should not be left for a long time. Xiang Honghui had to make a quick decision now. He knew that Zhan Lingyan's actions were nothing more than trying to distract him and let Xiao Wang Ye get the antidote smoothly, so that he could leave Zenan as soon as possible.

Zhan Lingyan slowly added: "If you want to see, this king will take you there now." The deep meaning of the words is that I am by your side. If you want to order your subordinates to do things on the road, I will do it when I see it.

Xiang Honghui was not angry at being so calculated and nodded with a smile: "Naturally.”

Zhan Lingyan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly. This person... was afraid that he still had a backhand. He whispered a few words with Yun Xian, and then left with Xiang Honghui.

A group of people here asked for a wing and sat down for tea. Xiang Hongyang, as a prince, wanted to help with state affairs, so he didn't have much time, and there were no outsiders here. His gaze quickly turned to Genius Long: "Xiao Bao, this king has a courtyard outside the city. There are lotus flowers planted in the courtyard. You should still be able to see a few flowers now. Would you like to go and have a look?”

Genius Long said quietly: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness. I don't have much time now. I really don't want to waste so much time on the lotus.”

Xiang Hongyang smiled suddenly: "Xiao Bao, if you have to think about it, the antidote will be placed in another courtyard.”

Genius Long was startled, Xiang Hongyang got up with a smile and rubbed his head: "This king still has some things to do, so let my subordinates take you there first. You can take a look at the lotus, and wait for this king to finish the matter at hand and then arrive, how about?”

Genius Long nodded in a daze but cursed treacherously from the bottom of his heart. This person was probably afraid that he would run away after eating the antidote, so he came up with this way to trap him in the courtyard to cultivate feelings.

Xiang Hongyang rubbed his head again, exchanged a few polite words with Yun Xian and the others, and left with one of his subordinates.

The subordinate said respectfully: "Gongzi, please wait downstairs, and the little one will bring the carriage.”

Genius Long nodded and glanced at Yun Xian. The latter accepted his fate and got up: "Since there are lotus flowers, this king will also go and have a look. Why don't we go together Xiao Wang Ye?”

Tai Wenkuan then accepted his fate: "It's okay.”

Genius Long suddenly smiled triumphantly. Accompanied by two princes, Xiang Hongyang had a hundred guts and didn't dare to be tough.

The subordinate did not dare to resist and responded respectfully.

A group of people left the wing, and General Gu secretly calculated that they had two guards disguised as Muzi and the secret guard, plus the two people left by Zhan Lingyan, which was enough. Now neither Xiang Honghui nor Xiang Hongyang want them to have an accident, and there should be a lot of people secretly protecting them.

He was thinking about walking, but when he was about to reach the entrance of the stairs, he paused. There was an acquaintance standing there. There were three teams of secret guards beside the emperor. Muzi was the captain of the first team, and this person was the captain of the third team.

General Gu quickly exchanged glances with Muzi, slowed down and walked at the end of the crowd, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

"The emperor is here.”

General Gu was slightly shocked, knowing that since this person could say these words, it meant that the emperor was looking for him. He nodded and continued to follow the crowd downstairs. He walked a few steps behind Genius Long and whispered: "I have something to leave, you go first, I will rush over to find you in a while.”

Genius Long looked back at him: "Then you have to hurry up.”

General Gu touched his head: "Hmm.”

Xiang Hongyang's courtyard was not far from Jianye. A group people got on the carriage and walked southwest along the official road. They soon reached a sparsely populated place. At this moment, there was a sudden noise, and their carriage was surrounded in an instant. Genius Long raised the curtain of the carriage to look at it, and hurriedly retracted. Yun Xian was surprised: "Brother, what happened?”

"I want to tell you bad news..."

Yun Xian was startled: "What?”

Genius Long hadn't answered yet, he only heard a shout from outside: "Robbery!”

"......"

Genius Long was almost crying without tears: "Do you think this is a coincidence or was it calculated a long time ago?"

Yun Xian patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, I think you should honestly wait for the antidote from the monster. Look at you. Selling meat and burying flowers has been robbed again. This is fate. People can't fight with fate. Admit it.”

"......"

While talking, there was already a fight outside. Muzi originally suspected that there might be a secret guard inside, but after the fight, he knew that he thought too much. These were indeed bandits. A few of them stayed firmly around the carriage and repelled the enemies who greeted them one by one. Although the bandits are not better than them, they have a large number of people, and it is difficult to distinguish between the high and the low for a while.

The bandits were shocked by their skills: "Boss, these people are not easy to mess with, let's withdraw?”

"What do you know, the more it's like this, the more valuable it is, damn it, tell the brothers to shoot arrows!”

As soon as the voice fell, a rain of arrows shot into the forest, and Muzi felt a chill in his heart. He was afraid that if he went on like this, he would hurt the people in the carriage. He was about to drive away in person when he saw an arrow hit the horse's hip. The horse screamed and ran away. The secret guard closest to it suddenly chased forward a few steps, flew up, and barely climbed into the carriage, trying to control the speed.

How could the leader of the bandit let the ducks in his hand fly, and hurriedly shouted: "Separate a group of brothers to stop these people, and the others will follow me!”

Muzi and the others were shocked when they saw this, and they were about to follow up at the moment, but they were surrounded by bandits again. Their eyes were cold, and they didn't care if they would be injured. They all took their lives in one move, trying to make a quick decision.

The bandit felt cold in his heart and quickly withdrew.

Muzi and the others hurriedly chased forward, but when they arrived, the carriage was already empty, and there was a little blood on the board. He doesn't know whose it was, and the few people who disappeared don't know if they fled elsewhere or were taken captive by bandits, let alone whether they are alive or dead now.

Zhan Lingyan took Xiang Honghui to the place and ordered his subordinates to withdraw. He also walked out of the room. He was not interested in listening to the secret history of the harem of the other countries. Besides, it's not good to listen to this kind of thing. In case it causes death, it can only increase the trouble.

Therefore, he sat patiently on the stone stool in the courtyard and drank tea. He barely got up until he heard the obvious commotion in the room, gently opened the door, and then was startled.

The people he caught were all lying on the ground, their necks twisted, apparently pinched to death by human, while Xiang Honghui stood in the middle of the room, holding his forehead and smiling, his peach blossom eyes were covered by the palm of his hand, and he couldn't see what the emotion was. The corners of his mouth were slightly curved, and he smiled lowly, one after another, as if even his body trembled lightly.

Zhan Lingyan has been fighting with this person for so long and has never seen him like this. Now he knows that this person's mood can only be described as bad. His first reaction is to turn around and go out, but at this time the person in the room suddenly put down his hand, strode over him, and left without looking back.
