The news of the return of the fifth princess spread back to Yuezhong City very quickly, but this time there was also another news, that is, the prince of Chen Kingdom, Chen Ruyi, who came with the fifth princess.
The troops stationed by Chen State stirred up trouble in Jiang State, and the people of Jiang State already hated Chen Guo to the core.
Even if he is the husband of their princess, they find it difficult to accept him.
Therefore, this time the prince wanted to hold a banquet and wine in the city. Looking at the entire Yuezhong City, no inn was willing to come forward.
They are simply announcing to the outside world that they are closed for business.
Even if the person who spoke was the noble prince, they were unwilling to change their words.
Jiang Huan had no choice but to place the banquet in Lihuo Palace, creating a quiet place.
She didn't want others to interfere with the banquet, so the people preparing for the banquet this time were all Jiang Huan's carefully selected confidants.
It hasn't been too long since he left this city. Even though Jiang Zixu changed the guards of Lihuo Palace, many of Jiang Huan's former confidants were still left behind.
It's just that the right-hand men and women in the past can only do some idle work in the Lihuo Palace. Even the killers who used to kill without batting an eye can only go to the dining room to kill people.
"Fifth Princess, it's great that you're not dead." The little cook saw Jiang Huan standing in front of him alive and kicking. His nose felt sore and tears fell down.
Jiang Huan had never noticed before that his confidants were so incompetent that they kept crying one after another.
All of them are people with strong martial arts skills and good assassins, but now they all cry like little cowards.
Jiang Huan smiled helplessly, "How can I die?"
"The fifth princess didn't know that half a month ago, the soldiers from the Chen Kingdom who had been building the White Jade Tower in the bamboo forest suddenly entered Yuezhong City, throwing the life of Yuezhong City into chaos. At this time, the late king suddenly fell ill.
I can't afford it, I have no time to deal with the garrison." The little cook sniffed and curled his lips as if he was about to continue crying. Jiang Huan quickly made a forbidding gesture.
I didn't expect to cry about the men I hadn't seen in the Chen country, but I actually saw two of them in my Jiang country, which was full of fierce men.
"After the previous king died of illness, the eldest prince inherited the throne and became the new king. However, after the eldest prince inherited the throne, he replaced the guards in the inner palace with Chen Guobing. These Chen Guobing only obeyed the king's orders, and the rest were
Don't take it lightly. In the past half month, Lihuo Palace has been in chaos by these Chen Guobing, and there has never been a moment of peace..." The little cook felt more and more sad as he spoke, and sighed deeply.
Jiang Huan felt extremely uncomfortable when he heard this.
Who is she? She was the fifth princess who once dominated the Jiang Kingdom. Everyone in the Jiang Kingdom, and even her father, could not do anything to her. But today, the Lihuo Palace fell into the hands of Chen Guoren.
This is why Jiang Huan is not angry.
Jiang Huan suppressed the anger in his heart, took out five jars of fine wine, and placed them on the long table.
"Little cook, there is something I want to tell you." Jiang Huan pointed to the wine jar, and the little cook immediately straightened his back, no longer timid.
He looked like he was always ready for his fate, and he looked like a warrior that Jiang Huan was very familiar with before.
"I will obey the princess's instructions."
Jiang Huan pointed to the wine jar and ordered, "I have poisoned this wine. After drinking it, I will forget all the memories of my life. When the time comes, a servant will be required to test the poison for the officers. Can you take on this responsibility?"
?”
The little cook straightened his back. He bowed solemnly and said solemnly, "Don't worry, princess, I promise to complete the task successfully."
...
The candlelight flickered as they drank wine.
The stove was heating up at full speed, and the rising heat filled the whole room. The officers' cheeks were flushed by the heat, and they looked extremely excited.
"I never thought that today I would accept the prince's kindness and get such a fine wine!"
"No, otherwise everyone says that our prince is a rare good person in the world. Princess Jiang is willing to give us all the good wine she has hidden!"
The officers laughed, and they said some words that seemed to be true and false under the influence of wine. Although they were compliments, their tone was full of ridicule.
They laughed loudly, as if Chen Ruyi in front of them was not the crown prince of Chen State at all, but just an official for their entertainment.
Chen Ruyi didn't say much, just smiled lightly.
He pursed his lips and smiled, sipping the wine in the cup. He looked elegant and carefree, and seemed not to be affected by these officers at all.
"Let me tell you, there is a reason why the prince can sit in this position. Otherwise, if his short-lived brother died, the emperor would still be able to hold him in his hands regardless of past grudges?"
"I can't say for sure. I have to ask His Highness how the former prince died."
The officers were all drunk and lost their minds one by one, spilling out what they should and should not say at once.
They did not take Chen Ruyi into their eyes at all. The five jars of wine reached the bottom, and the drunken general shouted loudly, "The wine is empty. Your Highness, why don't you go and ask that beautiful wife to send another jar?"
of?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the prince is really lucky. Even though his legs are disabled, he still managed to snatch such a beautiful fiancée from the hands of the third prince."
"I don't know what method the prince used. Can you teach us?"
The officers were making a fuss, but Chen Ruyi just sneered and raised her eyes.
He took a careful look at the five empty wine jars, and saw that all five empty wine jars had fallen to one side, and they were completely drunk.
"Have you finished drinking?" Chen Ruyi tapped her slender fingers on the table again and again, very regularly.
"Are you blind? You can't even see? You don't have any sight at all!"
Chen Ruyi's fingers tapping on the table suddenly stopped, and the smile on the corner of his mouth disappeared little by little, leaving only an endless coldness.
The chill is bone-chilling, and just by looking at it, you can feel that you are in an ice cellar, as if you are about to be frozen at any time.
Those officers wanted to scold something, but the next moment the general who led him felt dizzy. He tried desperately to wake himself up, but the feeling of dizziness hit him hard, hitting every pore in his body.
Make him unable to resist.
The other officers also had the same reaction. They instantly realized something was wrong and picked up their weapons to approach Chen Ruyi.
But before they could move, they all fell to the ground one by one, with no strength left at all.
Chen Ruyi blew on the hot tea, took a sip, and said, "After drinking it, we'll be on our way."
