Why is Prince Zhennan here? !
Steward Deng stared so hard that his eyes almost bulged out.
Last time it was Young Master Xiao, and now it is Prince Xiao again. This is Xiao Yi!
Unlike that second-generation ancestor Xiao Luan, the "Killing God" Xiao Yi is their sworn enemy in Baiyue!
Can I escape unscathed today?
Guanshi Deng felt as if his whole body was immersed in ice water. He was so cold that he shivered slightly unconsciously. Thousands of thoughts were surging in his heart.
At this time, Manager Deng had already felt that something was wrong in everything that Young Master Xiao did. In fact, he had briefly suspected something at the beginning, but the calm and normal life allowed him to quickly put away that suspicion. Putting it all behind him...he was careless after all!
After a while, Manager Deng suddenly said in a deep voice: "Why?...Why did you wait until today to take action?"
While asking the question, the answer naturally emerged in Manager Deng's mind. Could it be because Xiao Yi was still on the battlefield ahead?
But Second Young Master Xiao is the step-son of King Zhennan. It is said that the two brothers have always been incompatible. How could Second Young Master Xiao be of the same mind as Xiao Yi? !
Wait a minute, is that young master really Xiao Luan, the second master of Xiao?
Manager Deng suddenly figured out something. The "Xiao Luan" in his memory was frivolous and a bit effeminate, with a thin and weak figure. Although the Xiao Yi in front of him was described as beautiful and his appearance was brighter than that of a woman, but that There is a sharp temperament in his nonchalant heart that makes people never mistake his gender...
These two people look very different in appearance and temperament. Are they really brothers?
Did the so-called "Second Young Master Xiao" just use Xiao Luan's name to come here to explore the way? But he was so stupid that he was cheated out of two hundred and fifty stones of iron ore? Shengsheng sent a large sum of military pay to the Southern Xinjiang Army? !
Guanshi Deng felt a sweetness in his throat and almost vomited a mouthful of old blood.
Interesting! Xiao Yi looked at Manager Deng with a half-smile and slightly raised his eyebrows. They hadn't asked any questions yet, but the other party was testing their tone first. But since he decided to hand over Manager Deng to Guan Yubai, he didn't plan to say anything anymore.
Guan Yubai nodded slightly, stroked his sleeves, then looked at Manager Deng and said warmly: "Brother, regardless of whether your surname is Deng or not, I will call you Manager Deng."
Guanshi Deng remained silent, as if he didn't care about him at all.
Xiao Si narrowed his eyes slightly, a murderous look flashed in his eyes.
Mandarin Baiyu kept saying in a non-surprising tone: "Manager Deng, what you expected was right. You have already missed the mark. Also, 'that person' is indeed not the Second Young Master Xiao."
Guanshi Deng's pupils shrank sharply, and he looked directly at the gentle and elegant young man sitting next to Xiao Yi in shock.
The other party can be on an equal footing with Xiao Yi, so he must not be an ordinary character.
However, Xiao Yi was so eye-catching in both appearance and temperament that Manager Deng almost ignored this weak scholar just now. It was only now that he had to look directly at his existence.
Manager Deng remained silent, but there was a storm in his heart, and questions emerged in his mind one after another:
Who is this person? !
How does this person know what he is thinking? !
Is there a way of looking into people's hearts, or is the other party just deceiving themselves? !
What does the other party want? !
……
Even Zhou Dacheng looked at Guan Yubai in surprise, thinking: This An Yihou is still so unpredictable in his words and actions.
Guan Yubai smiled faintly and continued: "Manager Deng, I had a few encounters with your lord Kui Lang when I was in the royal capital. His Highness Kui Lang is indeed a hero. Even if he fails to achieve his goals for a while, he still There are people like Manager Deng who are loyal to him."
Xiao Yi and the others really knew it! Knowing that he is from Baiyue, he knows that he is loyal to His Highness Kuilang! After realizing this fact, Manager Deng calmed down and figured out a lot of things.
Since the matter of "Second Young Master Xiao" is a trap, then the escaped slave who went to sue the government must be in the same group as "Second Young Master Xiao", so to speak...
"You intercepted the letter I sent to His Highness the Sixth Prince?" Steward Deng said slowly, his heart as clear as a mirror.
Back then, in order to raise the two hundred stones of iron ore that "Second Young Master Xiao" wanted, I wrote a letter for Lao Song to send to Ruijiang City to ask for help from His Highness the Sixth Prince...Now that I think about it, all of that was "Er Young Master Xiao". "Young Master" calculated it well and forced himself to ask for help. Yes, and only in this way will they know that this mine is related to His Highness Kuilang.
Then they must have known for a long time that this was a salt mine, not an iron mine.
Strange things have come and gone, but I still blame myself for having been here smoothly for nearly 20 years. I was too comfortable and that's why I made a mistake...
Thinking about it, Manager Deng felt bitter in his heart. This time, he was going to end up here. He just hoped that His Highness Kui Lang, who was far away in the royal capital, would not be affected.
Guan Yubai did not answer, and said to himself: "Kui Lang entrusted you with such an important task. I guess you and him are not just ordinary masters and servants. In other words, your old master and Kui Lang There is an extraordinary feeling of affection."
Nineteen years ago, Kui Lang was just a boy less than ten years old. It was obvious that the original owner of this salt mine would not be Kui Lang.
Salt is a daily necessity for everyone. Since ancient times, illegal salt has represented huge profits that are enough to make countless people take risks, not to mention Baiyue, which is short of salt. The old owner of the salt mine is willing to hand over the salt mine, which represents huge benefits, to Kui Lang. He must have a close relationship with Kui Lang, such as his parents' blood relationship...
With this salt mine, it is no wonder that Kuilang could have such great influence in Baiyue during the lifetime of the King of Baiyue. Even though Baiyue had been fighting against the surrounding small tribes in the past few years, Kuilang had all the resources on hand. There is enough military pay to support it.
Steward Deng remained silent, his lips pursed into a straight line.
Now that things have happened, he has nothing to say, and the other party can't even expect to learn anything from him, and the left and right will only die! ...Moreover, even if he does it, will Xiao Yi let him go?
The corners of Manager Deng's mouth curved into a sarcastic arc.
For a while, there was silence in the study room. The three soldiers stared at Manager Deng with cold eyes, thinking: These **** Nanman people are already prisoners of the rank, and they still dare to be so arrogant!
But Xiao Yi still looked careless and not in a hurry. Even if Manager Deng didn't say anything, Xiao Bai would naturally have a way to pry out what he wanted to know from the other party.
He picked up the teapot beside him and poured himself a cup of tea.
"Crash--"
The sound of tea echoed in the small study room. It was not loud, but in Steward Deng's ears, it seemed to be infinitely amplified. Beads of sweat broke out on his forehead unconsciously.
"Xiao Bai, drink water." Xiao Yi also poured a glass for Guan Yubai.
Guan Yubai took it politely and drank tea leisurely. Looking at the two people, they looked like they were listening to a book and drinking tea in a teahouse.
"I heard that the mother of Your Highness Kui Lang was a saint from the previous generation of your country?" Guan Yubai played with the tea cup in his hand and said leisurely, "The two generations of saints in your country are all extraordinary women. He has great wisdom, and he is really like a woman!"
Steward Deng was shocked, why did this person suddenly mention the queen, or rather the queen mother, who had already gone there earlier. ... However, to compare that person to the Queen Mother is to think too highly of him. How can he be as far-sighted and wily as the Queen Mother! Back then, how could the late king have sat on the throne if he hadn't been the Queen Mother! It is only natural that His Highness the First Prince will succeed to the throne!
Guan Yubai has been observing every change in Manager Deng's expression, and naturally he has not missed the trace of contempt in the other party's eyes.
It seems that he guessed well. Since ancient times, there have been no fathers and sons in the royal family. When it comes to the struggle for the throne and power, even biological fathers and sons will turn against each other. How could the King of Baiyue hand over the salt mine, which is related to the lifeblood of the country, into the hands of Kui Lang? As expected, this salt mine was passed down to Kui Lang by Kui Lang's mother, the previous saint of Baiyue.
Guan Yubai put down the tea cup in his hand and said with a smile: "Steward Deng, your country has held this mine in your hands for nineteen years, and you even killed Deputy Steward Yuan of the Fang family to silence him... Could it be that these Over the years, the Fang family has never had any suspicions? Have they never sent anyone to investigate?"
Steward Deng glanced sideways at Guan Yubai and sneered: "Do you want to ask us if we are colluding with the Fang family?... Do you think you will believe me if I say no?" There was a hint of disdain in his eyes. , it seems that this person is nothing more than that. Those pretentious words in front of him are indeed deceiving him! ...Hmph, just let them Dayu people go dog-eat-dog!
Thinking about it, Manager Deng’s eyes turned sinister.
Guan Yubai always had a slight smile on his lips. From the tone of Manager Deng, it was obvious that he did not know that the old Zhennan King had come to Sigelai Mountain to investigate. Also, how could someone like Old Zhennan King miss the mark so easily! If the death of Old Zhennan King was related to the mine, given his wisdom and martial prowess, he might have died in the hands of an acquaintance... Was this person in the Xiao family or the Fang family? !
Then, there is one last question left...
Guan Yu's white eyes flashed, and he stretched out a slender index finger and asked: "Manager Deng, I have one last question to ask. Have you ever been to Heyu City nineteen years ago?"
Last question? And Yucheng? ! What's the meaning?
Steward Deng couldn’t hide the confusion in his eyes, and he looked confused. He clearly didn't say anything, so why did the other party act like he had confessed? !
Guan Yubai got the answer from his eyes and stood up suddenly.
Xiao Yi also stood up.
Sun Xinyi's aunt said that the person who went to Fang Mansion was a man, so it was definitely not Kui Lang's mother, nor was it Manager Deng. No matter who it was, this person might still be alive, and Manager Deng obviously knew nothing about it. known.
The two of them left the study without any hesitation, and the outcome of Manager Deng and others was self-evident.
Guan Yubai suddenly said: "Ayi, don't worry."
They will definitely find the real culprit behind the scenes and let the spirits of the dead rest in peace in heaven!
It was just four words, Guan Yubai said it lightly, but these four words came from his mouth, but they had a calming power.
Xiao Yi looked at Guan Yubai. At this moment, the afterglow of the setting sun shone softly on him, coating him with a faint halo, gentle, but containing extremely powerful power.
Xiao Yi stared at Guan Yubai for a moment.
Is it true that when he was at his lowest point, Guan Yubai also told himself over and over again: Guan Yubai, don't worry.
Xiao Yi curled up the corner of his mouth and smiled with relief at Guan Yubai.
This person has passed away, the most important thing is now.
Xiao Yi said slowly: "Xiao Bai, let's take our time."
Yes, there is no rush.
It has been almost twenty years. Even when my grandfather was alive, he was only getting the first clues. The other party must not be underestimated. They have to do it step by step...
Xiao Yi's fists couldn't help but clenched.
At this time, the footsteps of several people came from behind. Zhou Dacheng and a few soldiers came out and reported: "Your Majesty, it has been solved."
After a pause, Zhou Dacheng asked for instructions again: "Master, what should we do with the miners here?" Let them go, or...
Xiao Yi pondered for a moment, and then ordered in a deep voice: "These people cannot be let go just yet. Zhou Dacheng, half of the manpower we brought this time will stay here, and you will also stay for now. This mine must continue. 'Business' continues!"
Xiao Yi meaningfully emphasized the word "business".
Zhou Dacheng understood immediately, cupped his fists and said, "Yes, the Crown Prince."
As long as this mine remains, it is just a bait, and the "fish" from Baiyue will naturally take the bait!
Half an hour later, dozens of horses galloped out of the iron gate at the foot of the mountain, galloping along the official road under the setting sun, leaving Sigelai Mountain far behind...
When the moon rose above the willow trees, Xiao Yi and his party finally arrived at Hehe Town to join the army.
The army was stationed on a weedy field one mile outside Hehe Town. Under the moonlight, countless camps were densely scattered around. It was quiet all around, and most of the soldiers had rested. There were only the footsteps of some soldiers patrolling the night, the sizzling sound of bonfires burning, and the occasional loud eagle cry in the night sky...
"Brother, Lord Marquis!" Before Yu Xiufan could fall asleep, he saw Xiao Yi and his party returning from a distance. He ran towards them excitedly, pointing to the sky excitedly and shouting, "Brother , Lord Hou, look! This little guy Han Yu has learned to fly!"
Chang Huaixi, who was with him, followed him leisurely and contentedly.
Everyone looked up following the cry of the eagle, and saw two eagles, one gray and one white, circling with their wings spread beside the huge silver moon, making cries of joy and joy. During the day, they were flying crookedly as if they were about to be lost at any time. The balanced Han Yu was now flying like a fish in the night sky under the moonlight, flapping its wings and spreading its wings. The silver moonlight shone on the lustrous feathers of the gray eagle and the white eagle, as if they were covered with a coat of feathers. layer of silver yarn.
The night sky, the silver moon, and the two eagles look so harmonious, like a painting of the moon chasing eagles at night by a famous artist.
Suddenly, Han Yu swooped down quickly, shooting at Guan Yubai and Xiaosi like a sharp arrow, and then leisurely circled slowly and suddenly above their heads, crowing proudly, As if to say, look, look, how good I am flying!
Looking at the lively Han Yu, even Xiaosi, who was always expressionless, had the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his black eyes were shining under the moonlight. He gave a rare good look to Xiao Hui beside him, and thought to himself: For the sake of it teaching Han Yu how to fly, let's prepare a piece of dried meat for it tomorrow.
Xiao Yi was also looking up at the double eagles in the sky. Ever since he came out of the mine in Sigelai Mountain, there had been a trace of depression deep in his heart. It was only at this moment that he suddenly became enlightened.
Xiao Yi showed a bright smile and said matter-of-factly: "Xiao Hui, great! You are one step closer to marrying a wife and going home."
His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, and was just heard by Xiaosi. The smile on his lips froze instantly.
Xiao Yi glanced at Xiaosi, let out a hearty laugh, and said loudly: "Xiaobai, Xiaofanzi, and Xiaoxizi, it's getting late, let's go and rest early! We have to set off tomorrow morning !"
Looking at Xiao Hui happily spinning around Han Yu, Xiao Yi's beautiful peach blossom eyes were filled with water. He couldn't wait to go home and see his stinky girl!
The night passed quickly. In order to let Guan Yubai rest for a while, Xiao Yi did not order the camp to set off until Chenshi the next day.
Tens of thousands of troops marched all the way north to Luoyue City with great momentum.
Everywhere he passed, people from nearby towns came from time to time to greet him and applaud warmly.
On February 15th, around Youshi, the army arrived at Luoyue City.
As the only son of King Zhennan, Xiao Luan led the generals out of the city to meet Xiao Yi on the order of King Zhennan.
However, Xiao Luan's scalp goes numb whenever he thinks that the eldest brother of the great demon king is coming back.
Xiao Luan waited in fear on the outskirts three miles away from Luoyue City until the army appeared at the end of the official road.
At that moment, everyone’s eyes were focused on the flag flying wantonly in the air——
This is the banner of Prince Zhennan!
Xiao Luan stared at the flag and became more and more uneasy, but he could not run away. He could only watch the flag getting closer and closer...
Then the eldest brother's half-smiling face came into view. Xiao Luan was so frightened that his heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly got off his horse to greet him.
In sharp contrast to him was the neat dismounting action of Yao Yan and other soldiers. Many soldiers shook their heads secretly and thought: Fortunately, there is still a prince in Zhennan Palace.
"Brother!"
"I have met the prince!"
Xiao Luan and other soldiers saluted Xiao Yi with clasped fists, each with a loud voice. Xiao Yi immediately raised his hand to signal them to excuse themselves.
Xiao Luan swallowed, clasped his fists as if to endorse something and said: "Brother, my father ordered me to welcome you back to the city. Brother," as he said this, he looked at Guan Yubai beside Xiao Yi, "Master Hou, you guys It’s been a hard journey, let’s go back to the palace as soon as possible!”
Xiao Yi just raised his eyebrows, but Guan Yubai smiled slightly and said warmly: "Second Young Master Xiao, you have worked hard."
His warm smile made Xiao Luan, who had been tense all of a sudden, relax a lot. He thought to himself: An Yihou still has a good temper. Last time I was in trouble, he kindly guided me to write; and he also has similar interests to me. Just listening to myself talk about Xiao Hui can last a whole day... Why is An Yihou not his eldest brother? !
Xiao Luan said diligently: "Brother Guan, I see you have lost weight. You must not be able to eat well or sleep well outside, right? When you return to Luoyue City this time, you must have a good rest until you have had enough rest. I'll take you around. There are several restaurants in Luoyue City that serve delicious food. Brother Guan, you will definitely like it..."
Seeing how warmly he spoke, Yao Yan and others on the side were speechless and couldn't help but look at each other.
It wasn't until Xiao Yi coughed impatiently that Xiao Luan suddenly came back to his senses, closed his mouth in embarrassment, and got on his horse dejectedly.
Everyone continued to walk towards the city gate. As for Xiao Luan, naturally he did not dare to follow Xiao Yi and shrank shyly beside Guan Yubai...
The common people had learned that the Crown Prince would lead his army back to the city today, and they all gathered spontaneously at the city gate.
The entire Luoyue City was immersed in the joy of the army's triumphant return.
Amidst the lively sound of firecrackers and splendid fireworks, the army entered the city in a mighty manner. At that moment, the dim sky in the evening was reflected by countless huge fireworks, which was as gorgeous as day, and it was so beautiful.
Xiao Yi had no intention of admiring these fireworks, and went with the generals to return his orders to King Zhennan with some absent-mindedness.
Throughout the whole process, Xiao Yi went in with one ear and out with the other. When King Zhennan finally sent everyone back to their homes, he finally returned to his original position and couldn't wait to return to Bixiaotang, with a somewhat agitated face. Goofy bright smile.
How happy that stinky girl would be when she saw him!
Thinking about it, Xiao Yi's steps became more brisk, and he walked into the entrance of the courtyard with the wind at his feet.
"Your Majesty!" Huamei came forward and bowed to Xiao Yi with a stiff expression.
"No courtesy." Xiao Yi strode toward the house without even looking at Huamei. He felt that this maid was really ignorant and was delaying his meeting with him.
Huamei could only keep up quickly, and hurriedly reported: "Master, the Concubine, she...she is sick!"
Xiao Yi suddenly stopped and looked over in disbelief. Only then did he notice the worry on the maid's eyebrows, her whole body was wilted and she had no energy.
Xiao Yi's face turned grim, and he quickened his pace and rushed towards the house, like a gust of wind.
