As soon as he opened the door curtain of the elegant room, Chen Shucheng realized that something was wrong, but it was too late. A familiar feeling came again. The sharp blade was placed on his neck, causing Chen Shucheng to forcefully remove what he wanted before.
The exclamation he made was swallowed.
Pei Zilie winked and retracted the sword in his hand. Li Xingchen stepped forward and pulled Chen Shucheng fiercely into the private room. Chen Shujian, who was following behind, shouted in surprise: "What's wrong?
"
Chen Shucheng was about to speak when he saw the bright weapon in front of him and said hurriedly: "It's okay, I accidentally fell..."
"Oh, who is that friend inside?" Chen Shujian was obviously wary and asked in a deep voice, while reaching out to lift the door curtain.
"Brother, hurry up... Oh!" Chen Shucheng could only sigh when he saw the many weapons on Chen Shujian's neck.
Xiao Shilian patted Chen Shucheng's shoulder with great interest: "Don't worry about your brother at this time, think about your own life first. I really didn't expect that you two guys would be so angry when they heard someone was treating you.
Bianpi Dian ran up."
"Shameless." Chen Shujian said coldly.
Li Xingchen handed over his hand: "Shameless or not, as long as it works. I originally wanted to invite the two highnesses to sit down for a cup of tea and chat, but I guess the two highnesses were not willing to come, so this was a helpless move.
, please don’t be offended by your two highnesses, I have frightened you two, and Li will apologize here."
Chen Shujian sneered: "If you want to be killed or beheaded, please do as you please. There is no need to go through these twists and turns. Unfortunately, my two brothers fell into your trap today. We are unlucky."
Li Xingchen laughed loudly, while Pei Zilie and Xiao Shilian looked at each other and shook their heads slightly. With their IQs, even if they didn't fall into the trap today, they might fall into another trap one day.
However, he smiled and Li Xingchen still made an invitation gesture and asked Chen Shujian and Chen Shucheng to sit down: "Actually, we have no ill intentions, we just have a few questions to ask your two highnesses. As long as you answer truthfully, this good wine
Good meat is indispensable for two people."
Chen Shujian snorted. He never thought that Li Xingchen had a chance to escape with the protection of the two princesses in Guotong Alley, but turned around and came to the door. But since he had been caught, he could only accept his fate:
"What do you want to know?"
Li Xingchen knocked on the table in his spare time: "Why did your two highnesses appear in Gutong Alley?"
"We..." Chen Shucheng was about to speak, but he quickly came to his senses and stopped abruptly.
Chen Shujian frowned, glared at his younger brother, and said calmly: "My two brothers walked from Yujie to Qinhuai via Gutong Lane. Is there any problem?"
"This Gutong Alley is the alley where the back doors of the mansions in Wuyi Lane are located. It is usually filled with servants coming and going. If for no other reason, would you two appear in Gutong Alley?" Xiao Shilian squinted at Chen Shujian, a member of an aristocratic family.
If there is nothing wrong with this disciple, he will definitely not go into the alley where servants usually walk.
Chen Shujian said with a straight face: "My two brothers are just willing, isn't it okay?!"
"Presumptuous!" Pei Zilie slammed the sword in his hand on the table, "Do you think the three of us are fools?"
The corners of Chen Shujian's mouth twitched and he remained silent, while Chen Shucheng's eyes were evasive, trying to keep himself as far away from the sharp sword as possible.
"It's true that if you don't eat the toast, you will have to drink the wine as a penalty." Li Xingchen shook his head, and the short knife in his hand was directly pressed against Chen Shucheng's back, "Let's go."
"Go...where?" Chen Shucheng was like a frightened bird. If Li Xingchen hadn't stretched out his hand and pressed his shoulder, he would have jumped up in fright.
"Your brother wants to harm you, I can't stand it anymore." Li Xingchen said with a sneer, "Let's go to the private room next door to talk."
The expressions of brothers Chen Shucheng and Chen Shujian changed slightly. Just as Chen Shujian was about to say something, Pei Zilie walked slowly in front of him, blocking his sight, and slowly clenched his fists: "How about it, do you want to think about it again?"
?”
Chen Shujian closed his eyes: "Your Highness, I don't believe it. You really dare to hit the prince!"
"The prince doesn't dare to fight, but that doesn't mean he doesn't dare to kill." Pei Zilie said coldly, "What if the two highnesses are drinking in this restaurant and the restaurant catches fire?"
Chen Shujian shuddered and suddenly opened his eyes: "You guys!"
"Your Highness, you have to think clearly." Xiao Shilian chuckled, and at this moment, two "dong dong" knocks came from the wall. Xiao Shilian nodded at Pei Zilie and walked out, "Look
Come on, our twenty-fifth prince is more knowledgeable."
After a while, Li Xingchen clapped his hands and walked in. The sound of tapping on the wall just now was a code, which meant to let Xiao Shilian pass: "I didn't expect your brother to be so vulnerable. As long as His Highness the Prince also says it, you two will say it."
If it’s the same, then I’ll let you go.”
"Chen Shucheng!" Chen Shujian gritted his teeth and said, then his face sank and he slowly spit out a name.
After frowning, Li Xingchen still reached out and knocked on the wall three more times.
Chen Shujian didn't know that in the private room next door, Xiao Shilian was holding a short blade and gently rubbing it on Chen Shucheng's face. He pricked up his ears and when he heard three sounds, his hand trembled subconsciously.
A cut was made on Chen Shucheng's face.
"What...what does this mean..." Chen Shucheng's voice trembled, and this cold feeling made the hairs on his body stand up.
"This means that your brother has already spoken, so please tell me what you know. If it is the same as what your brother said, we will let you go." Xiao Shilian said with a smile, but this smile was different no matter how you looked at it.
Somewhat ferocious.
"I said, I said!" Chen Shucheng said in a panic. If Xiao Shilian hadn't quickly withdrawn the knife with quick eyesight and quick hands, he would probably have drawn blood marks on his face.
At the same time, listening to the knocking sound coming from the next door, Li Xingchen took a breath, glanced at the ashen-faced Chen Shujian, and then strode towards the private room next door.
"Lu Qiong...it's quite expected. It seems Master Zhou will be fine." Li Xingchen murmured, and when he saw Xiao Shilian nodding, he knew he was right.
And Xiao Shilian reached out and pointed at the dejected Chen Shucheng, with a solemn expression on his face: "He also named someone."
"Who?" Li Xingchen raised his eyebrows.
After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Shilian finally said: "Xu Jian, son of Duke Xiaomu."
"Hiss——" Li Xingchen suddenly took a breath of cold air.
