"The bandits in Xuanwu Mountain have never been wiped out. They have committed crimes of burning, killing and looting near the capital over the years. But I never thought that the two children under Shen Aiqing would be so capable. They destroyed Xuanwu Mountain with their own strength. Sure enough, A hero is born from a boy. I couldn't help but feel very relieved when I heard about this. Come and pour some wine for these two little heroes!"
Emperor Suiyuan's expression was smiling, but the expressions of everyone present couldn't help but change.
Shen Lin, the tutor, sounds nice, but to put it bluntly, he is just a useless civil servant, relying on his salary to live. The only reputation he can claim is that he is the daughter of the Mingyuan County lord, Mrs. Shen. But the county lord can't say anything at the emperor's feet, let alone a little county lord's daughter?
It is precisely because of this that Shen Lin is extremely cautious in Beijing and does not offend anyone. But now Emperor Suiyuan is so eloquent that he calls Shen Qingyi and Shen Jingnian "little heroes". Isn't he praising the Shen family in disguise?
On the surface, these words were indeed a compliment, but in fact, they pushed the two of them to the forefront!
Shen Qingyi suddenly clenched her chopsticks.
Shen Jingnian's hand was hidden under the table by his sleeves and squeezed hers tightly. He shook his head slightly at her, then raised his head, raised his glass and said with a smile: "Your Majesty really broke our brother and sister. In fact, he suppressed us." The bandit was a completely unintentional act. It turned out that the head of the Xuanwu Mountain took a fancy to my eldest brother's smooth career and wanted to marry my third sister. My Shen family did not agree, so the thief had a desire for revenge. Who knew the conspiracy The mistake was discovered by me, so the two of me, my brother and my sister, worked together inside and outside to make everyone in Xuanwu Mountain kill each other.
"I feel ashamed to say that my brother and sister were just a little clever. Who knew they would inadvertently wipe out the entire Xuanwu Mountain? The two of us are really unworthy of your majesty's praise!"
His words were measured and sincere. Emperor Suiyuan couldn't help but smile and nodded after hearing the words.
However, they suddenly heard a sneer, and everyone followed the sound, and it was Liu Muzhi who laughed.
He played with the cup and smiled slightly.
Shen Jingnian heard the hidden meaning of his words and couldn't help but burst into anger. He was about to explode when he was stopped by Shen Qingyi beside him.
She stood up gracefully.
"When I was on the mountain where I was taken captive, I saw two leaders in the bandit den that day. I thought that since the bandit leader was interested in the Shen family and not me, it shows that what they need is the support of officials. Naturally, they wouldn't do anything to me until they got what they wanted, so I used this matter to divide the two of them. As expected, I found that they were at odds with each other in face and heart. I then dealt with it and lost their trust. One differentiation.
"My brother and I successfully escaped from this civil war and returned to the capital unharmed."
Her words were extremely clever. She not only cleared up the secret collusion between the Shen family and Xuanwu Mountain, but also told everyone in disguise that she had never lost her virginity. She understood the true ins and outs of the whole matter, and even Liu Muzhi was speechless.
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but secretly praise Yu Shen Qingyi's clever answer. Chu Zhengyue even raised the corners of his lips and smiled silently.
Hearing the word "explosives", Liu Muzhi thought of the humiliation he suffered at the hands of Chu Zhengyang that day. He gritted his teeth in annoyance, rolled up his sleeves and said: "What a bunch of nonsense! Not to mention where did you get so many explosives?" , I heard that Ms. Shen San said that she was staying at Ms. Yuan’s house a few days ago, so why do you say today that she was kidnapped in those days? If you don’t have any evil intentions, why did you hide it by staying at Ms. Yuan’s house? "
The implication of Liu Muzhi's words was that Shen Qingyi was able to destroy the entire Xuanwu Mountain. He must have paid something. If he hadn't betrayed his lust and bribed the people in Xuanwu Mountain, I'm afraid the Shen family had colluded with Xuanwu Mountain.
Normally, he would have taken action long ago, but at this moment, he naturally did not dare to make a mistake in front of the emperor and empress, so he could only hold the wine glass and patiently listen to what farts he could make.
Shen Jingnian became annoyed when he saw his expression, and had the urge to punch him in the face.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but have different expressions, and the eyes staring at Shen Qingyi became ambiguous.
No matter which one, I am afraid that the reason for the destruction of Xuanwu Mountain is not that simple. When everyone present looked at Shen Qingyi's beauty, and then thought of Taifu Shen Lin's grandson-like appearance, they were naturally more inclined to the former guess. They couldn't help but I started watching a movie and wanted to know how Shen Qingyi could prove himself.
I saw Liu Muzhi raise his head, a pair of narrow phoenix eyes glanced around Shen Qingyi's face, and said: "This is strange, since he has asked for marriage, it can be seen that the bandit must be greedy, Miss Shen was kidnapped He walked away and destroyed the entire Xuanwu Mountain without any damage. This sounds like something that would happen in a storybook. His Majesty also said just now that Xuanwu Mountain burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of crimes. Why did this bandit attack the two senior officials? Take a look, is it possible that there is something hidden in it?"
She calmly glanced at everyone and said: "To be honest with you, as Mr. Liu said, the bandit from Xuanwu Mountain once wanted to marry me, but my brother also said just now that the bandit leader is not interested in me. The face is the Shen family behind me.
However, instead of being as eager to prove herself as everyone expected, Shen Qingyi just let out a sneer.
"In order to save me, my brother had already taken the opportunity to sneak into Xuanwu Mountain, and he took the opportunity to use a large number of bombs to blow up the mountain, making one of them think that the other had murderous intentions, so the relationship between the two completely collapsed.
His smile just froze at the corner of his mouth.
The smile on his lips was very confident, and he thought he had found the biggest loophole in Shen Qingyi's words. However, as soon as he finished speaking, everyone became strangely silent.
Yuan Wanning held her chin and said casually: "Hey, this is strange. A-Yao is just a boudoir. It is common for outsiders not to hear anything for a few days. What's more, I have never told anyone that A-Yao is living in my house. I wonder why Mr. Liu is so concerned about the affairs of my family and A-Yao's family? Mr. Liu knows that I have made an appointment with the eldest son of the Shen family, but he secretly inquires about it. Even A-Yao, in order not to worry Mr. Shen and his wife, We all know the cover-ups, could it be that Mr. Liu has a different intention towards me and A-Yao?"
Liu Muzhi muttered for a long time, but could only manage to say: "That's nonsense!" He was speechless and couldn't say anything.
Everyone couldn't help but gloat at Liu Muzhi's defeat. Prince Dingxihou laughed and said, "I heard from others that Mr. Liu and Miss Shen didn't get along well. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that the rumors are indeed true.
"I just don't know why Mr. Liu pays so much attention to a young girl from the Shen family? I don't know why. Mr. Liu, would you like to explain it to us?"
