Rong Feiyan said: "Your Majesty, so many people have poured into Piaoxiang City in a short period of time, and many of them have ulterior motives. It is really difficult to ensure that everyone is safe."
Long Xuanjiao said calmly: "Did you hear something?"
Rong Feiyan nodded and said: "I heard that Prince Heihu and Prince Nanyue had a conflict on the spot last night at Prince Fu's residence, and almost had a fight. There are still more than twenty days until the ninth day of September, and I am worried about similar things.
There will be more to come.”
Long Xuanjiao said: "They can make trouble if they like. As long as no one is killed, let them do the rest."
Rong Feiyan said: "I'm afraid that many things will get out of control if they develop."
Long Xuanjiao said: "Don't worry, everything is under the control of the Ai family."
When King Fu Yang Long listened to the counselor Liao Yuansheng's explanation of the latest situation, a knowing smile appeared on his lips.
Liao Yuansheng said: "Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince!"
King Fu chuckled and said, "Why am I so happy?"
Liao Yuansheng said: "It seems that the situation is more interesting than we expected. I'm afraid that before the Double Ninth Festival selection, these people will fight with each other."
Yang Longyue said: "The more lively the fight, the better. Luring so many people to Piaoxiang City, there is only one princess, and more than 10,000 people are fighting for one princess. Does she really think that this situation is easy to control? I think she will inevitably end up in it in the end
You have to shoot yourself in the foot!" The woman Yang Longyue refers to is naturally the Queen Mother Long Xuanjiao.
Liao Yuansheng lowered his voice and said: "Actually, everyone knows that the final candidate for the prince's consort will only be chosen among those dozen people. In the prince's opinion, who has the most hope?"
Yang Longyue said meaningfully: "Let's talk about who can survive until the day of selection!"
Liao Yuansheng was full of flattery and said: "Your Majesty, you are really pleased!"
Yang Longyue said: "How does Mr. Liao think this king should respond now?"
Liao Yuansheng said: "To cope with all changes by remaining unchanged and doing nothing, in fact, the more things are done, the easier it is to make mistakes. Your Majesty just needs to wait for others to make mistakes."
On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Hu Xiaotian was going to Deyuelou for an appointment to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with his cousin Xu Mubai. Before going out, someone sent a letter. Hu Xiaotian opened it and was surprised. He saw that the letter read:
Be careful, someone poisons you.
Hu Xiaotian asked Zhan Peng to go out to find the messenger. When he went out, he found that the messenger had disappeared.
This letter is a bit inexplicable, but the person who sent it should know that he is going to the banquet tonight. Someone has poisoned him? No matter whether this is true or not, he must be more vigilant. After thinking about it, Hu Xiaotian decided that he must go
This trip to Deyuelou. However, there was no need for others to accompany him. He asked Zhao Wusheng and Zhan Peng to stay and decided to go alone.
Although Zhao Wusheng and Zhan Peng felt strange, they thought about it after all. They were cousins gathering together, and it might be inconvenient for them to follow them. Hu Xiaotian's wisdom and martial arts were enough to deal with any dangers encountered.
Hu Xiaotian walked alone along the long street to Deyuelou. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, but there are not many pedestrians on the street. Because of the assassination that just happened, the security in Piaoxiang City has been increased several times. You can see it everywhere in the streets and alleys.
When the Forbidden Army patrols, ordinary people would rather reunite with their families at home than go out to the streets to cause trouble.
The patrols did not relax their vigilance because of the festival. Whenever they encountered suspicious persons, they would come forward to question them or even search them.
Hu Xiaotian also encountered several interrogations one after another. Fortunately, he had the Fengming Plate given to him by King Fu. After showing the Fengming Plate, the soldiers who blocked his way immediately apologized and let him go. In this way, he walked and walked until he arrived in front of Deyue Tower.
Today there is also a lack of traffic and traffic in front of the door. It is completely different from the scene in the past when the door was crowded with guests. If it had not been for a few orders of business in advance, the shop owner would have wanted to close the shop early and go home for the holidays.
Hu Xiaotian threw his mount to the waiter and asked him to take it to the rear to eat grass. At this time, another group of people passed by. It was the famous Feng Ling Guard of Tianxiang Kingdom. The leader was Murong Feiyan. Hu Xiaotian took the initiative to greet:
"Commander Rong, why do you still work overtime during the holidays?"
Murong Feiyan glanced at him coldly and ignored him.
Hu Xiaotian secretly sighed in his heart. It seemed that something had happened to her and she didn't remember him. Thinking of what happened to Le Yao, Xumi Tian just used a demon to seize Le Yao's body. He just hoped that the same thing would not happen to her.
On Murong Feiyan's body.
He pointed at Deyuelou and said: "On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon is full and the people are round. Why don't you, Commander Rong, show your face by having a glass of wine and get together?"
Murong Feiyan refused mercilessly: "No time!" After saying that, the horse galloped past Hu Xiaotian. Hu Xiaotian looked at her retreating back and shook his head helplessly.
There was a slight cough behind him, but it was his cousin Xu Mubai who appeared outside Deyue Tower. He happened to see the scene just now. Xu Mubai looked at him with a smile and said, "What are cousin and Commander Rong talking about?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Nothing, I just invited her to come in and have a drink together."
The two brothers walked into Deyue Tower together, and Xu Mubai whispered: "This Commander Rong is the apprentice of Su Yunjin, the Taifu of Tianxiang Kingdom. It is best for my cousin not to provoke her easily."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Who is Su Yunjin?"
Xu Mubai said: "Su Yunjin is the Jinlan sister of Queen Mother Long Xuanjiao, and the enlightenment mentor of King Yang Longjing of Tianxiang. She can be regarded as one of the most powerful women in Tianxiang Kingdom."
Hu Xiaotian said: "My cousin is really well informed."
Xu Mubai smiled and said: "The Xu family has a lot of properties in Tianxiang Kingdom, and we can still find out some information." At this time, he noticed that Hu Xiaotian came alone, and said with some surprise: "Didn't I ask you to bring all those brothers?
? Why did a person come here?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "They all think it's a gathering of our relatives, so it would be inconvenient for them to come."
Xu Mubai heard that what he said was reasonable, and he nodded immediately and said: "That's fine!" The two came to the Accord on the third floor. In addition to Xu Mubai's four maids, there was also a short, fat middle-aged man present.
The middle-aged man stood up with a smile when he saw the two people coming in. Xu Mubai introduced Hu Xiaotian: "This is not an outsider. He is Xu Mucheng, the shopkeeper of Yu Qingbao Tower, and he is also our brother."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Little brother, please see Brother Mucheng."
Xu Mucheng smiled and said: "Brother Xiaotian, I have been famous for you for a long time. I just met you today. You are indeed a young hero!" He is not a direct descendant of the Xu family, and his status in the family is far lower than that of Xu Mubai, but Xu Mucheng is a person.
Shrewd and sophisticated, he is responsible for the Xu family's property in Tianxiang Kingdom, and he has managed it successfully in recent years.
Xu Mubai asked people to serve the food. Hu Xiaotian remembered the letter he had received before arriving, the reminder about the poisonous food and wine. Looking at the dazzling array of dishes, there seemed to be nothing unusual on the surface. Hu Xiaotian still hesitated in his heart, whether to send the letter to him or not.
What do you tell Xu Mubai about the content?
Xu Mubai winked, and the maid behind him took out a white jade needle and probed each dish. When she saw that there was nothing unusual about the white jade needle, she smiled at Xu Mubai.
Xu Mubai said: "Sail with caution, and always be more cautious when dining out."
Hu Xiaotian said deliberately: "Cousin, are you worried that the food and wine are poisonous?".
Xu Mubai nodded and said: "Everything is possible. There have been successive assassinations in Piaoxiang City in the past two days, and the targets are the candidates who come to apply for the consort. We should be more careful."
A maid opened a brocade box, which contained emerald wine glasses. Xu Mubai asked her to bring out three wine glasses and gave one to each of Xu Mucheng and Hu Xiaotian. He said to Hu Xiaotian: "This is called the emerald luminous cup.
An ancestral treasure of the Xu family, the color of the cup can change depending on the type of wine. If the wine is poisonous, the cup will turn black."
Hu Xiaotian secretly thought to himself that Xu Mubai was really considerate of things. He was on guard. It seemed that he no longer needed to tell the contents of the letter. However, Xu Mubai clearly did this to reassure himself. It seemed that he was trying to hide it.
The meaning of three hundred taels of silver, could it be that he was the one who wanted to poison him? Hu Xiaotian looked at Xu Mubai, who was as graceful and gentle as jade, and really couldn't think of a reason why he wanted to do something to him.
The maid filled the three wine glasses, but she saw that the color of the glasses became more and more green and clear, and the fragrance of the wine was astonishing. She looked up and saw that a full moon had slowly risen in the night sky.
Xu Mubai said: "It's rare for you and I to get together to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. Come! Come! Come! Let's have a drink!"
Hu Xiaotian raised the glass to his lips. Before the glass of wine reached his lips, the candlelight in the room suddenly went out. Everyone was shocked. They looked out the window and saw someone standing on the eaves of the opposite side.
There was an arrogant figure, wearing a silver mask and a black robe fluttering in the night wind, like a flag fluttering in the night sky. Although there was still some distance between them, everyone in the room felt an invisible pressure.
Xu Mubai stood up suddenly, and his toes turned into a ball of white light and threw it out the window. Hu Xiaotian was worried that he had made a mistake, so he hurriedly followed.
The weird man wearing the silver mask stood there quietly, looking at the two teenagers swooping down from the sky. He was not in a hurry. When the two were still a foot away from him, no one could see how he moved. The tiles under his feet
But suddenly it rose up, and hundreds of tiles struck Xu Mubai like falling rain.
The weirdo pointed his toes and fled into the distance along the eaves like a meteor. Hu Xiaotian shouted angrily: "Where to escape!" He used the flying control technique to rise and fall in the void, flying across a distance of tens of feet in an instant.
Xu Mubai was blocked by the piece of tile. He knocked the tile off and landed on the eaves. When he looked up again, he had lost sight of the weirdo and Hu Xiaotian.
As the New Year is approaching recently, there have been more and more gatherings in various fields. Octopus will try its best to ensure continuous updates, and I hope everyone will be considerate! (To be continued.)
