Uncle Nine

Chapter 128 Going to Beifeng Mountain
When eating in the evening, Xia Yu rested her cheeks and stared at Zhao Shuo who seemed nothing had happened, wondering why this person has such a thick skin?He did such a thing to himself during the day, but now he can pretend to be so calm?

She carefully moved her face closer and stared at Zhao Shuo's face, as if she wanted to see him clearly.

"What are you doing?" He squinted at her, and it was this squinting movement, as if looking at her secretly, with a look of hope and brilliance.The long eyelashes fell down instantly, with a bit of contempt and disdain.But when he lowered his eyes and raised his eyes, he watched her actions carefully, and all of them fell into his own eyes.

"It's nothing, I just want to know how thick my master's face can be." She chewed the white rice, her eyes narrowed with a smile, like crescent moons, she was extraordinarily charming.

Zhao Shuo took a chicken leg and gave it to her in a bowl, "Compared to you, I still lose."

She curled her lips, when did she become as shameless as him?

"Who do you trust most in this world?" He asked.

Xia Yu gnawed on the chicken leg, her mouth was full of grease, and her expression trembled slightly. She opened her eyes and thought for a while, "You should ask this. I can tell you a lot about who else in this world I can't trust."

"Don't you understand how to guard against others?" He picked up another piece of braised pork and put it in her bowl.

"You are guarding against others, and then others are guarding against you, how tiring." Xia Yu said, "I don't deal with people in your officialdom. It's better to be loyal and keep promises in the Jianghu."

Zhao Shuo tightened his grip on the chopsticks, "Official circles are like battlefields, Jianghu is indeed a good place."

Xia Yu nodded, "That's natural. If you don't become a prince in the future, I will take you to meet those friends in the rivers and lakes. It will be interesting to keep anyone you know."

He looked up, "Are you taking me?"

"What's the matter?" Xia Yu took a sip of the soup, "Is there something wrong? As a prince, you must not know what is dangerous in the world, right? No one is taking it with you, so you probably won't be able to walk around three times."

"The one who can't walk around three times is the horse crane?" Zhao Shuo glanced at her.

Xia Yu chuckled, "Three sentences are always the same, don't take offense, don't take offense."

"You are worried for Liang Yiru, does he know?" Zhao Shuo finally returned to the topic.

Xia Yu bit her chopsticks, "I do mine, does he know, does it matter?"

He chuckled, "Stupid."

"It's better to be stupid than to do nothing." Xia Yu grabbed the rice in the bowl.

He got up and went outside.

"If you don't eat, you'll be tired." Xia Yu curled her lips, she happened to be going out tomorrow, so eat more today.Be a human being, just do what you like today, who knows what it will be like tomorrow?But what is certain is that tomorrow's mood will certainly not be similar to today's.

Therefore, try to eat when you can. There are no two completely similar leaves in the world, and naturally they will not have completely similar tastes.

Xia Yu cleaned up all the meat and vegetarian dishes on the table by herself.Caressing her chubby belly, she walked out the door, stretched her waist, "The chef of Prince Rui's residence really cooks better and better."

Zhao Shuo probably went to the study, so Li Huan stood in the yard.

Xia Yu wobbled over, "The dishes in Prince Rui's Mansion are more and more to my liking."

Li Huan cast a sideways glance at her coldly, "It goes without saying."

Isn't everything made according to her taste?
Also deliberately——

"Actually, I know the inside story of the girl's robbery and murder, right?" Xia Yu asked.

Li Huan didn't speak.

"Prince Rui's Mansion is on par with the Prince Regent's Mansion, but for the case of the young girl being robbed and murdered, logically speaking, it should be a major court case. Didn't the Lord say that? It is impossible for the court to ignore the killing of six appointed officials in a row. It is impossible for the Prince Regent's Palace to ignore it. But why, no one cares in the end?" Xia Yu was puzzled.

"Because no one wants to take care of it, and can't do it. Even if you have clues, you can't escape the suspicion of framing in the end. Since it's the same whether you do it or not, what are you going to do in this muddy water?" Li Huan straightened his body .

Xia Yu nodded, "That's true. Prince Rui's House and the Prince Regent's House have always had a rift, no matter which party is implicated, it will become a false accusation, and the gain outweighs the gain."

Li Huan was not talking.

Scratching the back of her neck, Xia Yu frowned and walked to her room.

Seeing Xia Yu walking away, Li Huancai quickly turned back to the study, knocked on the door, "Master."

"Come in." Zhao Shuo responded from inside.

Li Huan entered the door, and immediately saluted, "As I expected, Xia Yu really came to ask Beizhi some things. Beizhi completely followed the prince's order, and said every word, Xia Yu didn't suspect anything."

"It's the truth, why should there be any suspicion?" Zhao Shuo swiped his pen and ink, as if he was writing something in the candlelight.It's about a letter or something, but I don't know what the intention is.

"I'm not afraid of her, so I'm really going to take risks?" Li Huan frowned, "But why doesn't she want Master Liang to know?"

Zhao Shuo sighed and raised his head, but did not speak.After pondering for a long time, she said, "She and Liang Yiru have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and Liang Yiru holds a lot of weight in her heart. By the way, how did you investigate the matter that was asked?"

"It's exactly what I thought." Li Huan bowed and saluted.

The tip of the pen paused, and the ink instantly smeared on the paper. Zhao Shuo frowned, "No wonder I couldn't catch anyone."

Li Huan nodded, "Then, should I send someone to stop me?"

Zhao Shuo put down the ink pen in his hand, his eyes were deep and hard to distinguish, there was no light in the dark pupils, it made people tremble with fear, "Stop—of course we have to stop."

"Yes." Li Huan bowed his head.

"It seems that the plan should be changed." Zhao Shuo let out a long breath, resting his forehead for consideration, "Is there any news outside?"

"We found a foothold, but people ran away again." Li Huan whispered.

Zhao Shuo nodded, "After running for more than ten years, it doesn't mean that if you catch it, you can catch it. Keep looking. Since you are in the capital, don't let him go out. Maybe you can catch a big fish."

Li Huan saluted, "I understand the humble job."

Folding the letter on the case, putting it into an envelope sealed with red clay, Zhao Shuo got up, "Send this out, let her follow the plan, don't startle the snake. It's just the beginning, and the best is yet to come."

"Yes." Li Huan took the letter, saluted and left.

That night, Zhao Shuo didn't go back to his room, and before dawn the next day, Xia Yu quietly slipped out of the palace's back door with a small bundle on his back.If you want to leave, you have to take advantage of the present, otherwise it will not be so easy when the sun breaks.

After all, she was going to take risks. If she leaked the news and let those thieves know, they would definitely attack her in advance.

I touched the small wooden box in the bundle, and the spiders inside were well-raised.With this thing by her side, she felt a lot more courageous in an instant.

Following the markings on the map, one person and one horse walked slowly.If she was in Daizhou, she could walk out with her eyes closed.But this is the capital, a place where people are unfamiliar, so it's better to be careful.

Suddenly, she reined in the horse, and there seemed to be——

Pursing her lips and tightening the reins, Xia Yu thought for a while, then suddenly pinched the horse's belly, let out a sound of horse whining, and immediately whipped the horse.

Behind, there was a figure galloping, but two legs were no match for four legs, watching Xia Yu disappear in front of him.The figure quickly returned to the Prince Regent's Mansion, and Dongfang Xu was the first to know the news.

Officer Yun raised his hand, and the spies backed away quickly.

"My lord, this matter is not a trivial matter. Xia Yu went out either on the order of Prince Rui, or because of the case at hand by Liang Yiru. But no matter what the reason is, it is definitely not a trivial matter." Official Yun stepped forward.

Dongfang Xu nodded, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Going north out of the city, where will you go?"

Yun Guan frowned, thought for a while, "Could it be—"

"Beifeng Mountain!" Dongfang Xu looked up, his eyes were cold for a moment, "I didn't expect her to find it so soon?"

"Beifeng Mountain? Prince Rui's Mansion should know some inside information, but why didn't they stop it?" Official Yun was puzzled.

Dongfang Xu knew Xia Yu's physique, and only those who were invulnerable to all poisons could go in and out of the miasma forest without incident.Zhao Shuo really spent a lot of money this time, assigning Xia Yu, which is really amazing.

"Even if Prince Rui's mansion knows about it, there is no conclusive evidence. If you can't break through the miasma in the miasma forest, you can't get ironclad evidence inside. In this way, if Prince Rui opens his mouth, he will not only startle the snake, but also be accused of false accusation. Just ask, the world Who doesn't know about the conflict between Prince Rui's Mansion and Prince Regent's Mansion? This case must be handed over to an irrelevant third person before it can be settled." Dongfang Xu walked out, "Where is the foster father?"

Yun Guan said, "At this time, you should review the papers in the study. Why, the young master is going to tell the regent?"

Dongfang Xu smiled softly, "As long as someone breaks into the miasma forest, the adoptive father will definitely know about it. Therefore, this matter cannot be concealed. Since it cannot be concealed, it will be accused of being unfavorable in the end. It is better to do it now." Go and make it clear."

"Yes." Yun Guan nodded and followed closely behind.

Outside the study, Dongfang Xu bowed and saluted, "Father, Xu'er has something to report."

Dongfang Yue replied coldly in the room, "Come in."

The door opened, and Dongfang Xu quickly entered.

After a while, Dongfang Yue opened the door of the study coldly, and a large number of hidden guards immediately dispatched to the Prince Regent's Mansion and went straight to Beifeng Mountain in batches.

In the dark alley, two people quickly disappeared, "I'm watching here, you hurry up and tell the master, you say the dog's nose is too sharp, and they all chased them out."

The other person nodded, "Understood!"

The sound fell, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

A large number of secret guards from the Prince Regent's Mansion went straight to Beifeng Mountain, and Xia Yu's situation was worrisome.Liang Yiru had calculated thousands of times, but he didn't expect that Shuying would run to talk to Xia Yu, otherwise Xia Yu would never go to Beifeng Mountain in vain because of Xia Yu's greedy nature and fear of death.

But for Liang Yiru's sake, for the sake of brotherhood, Xia Yu can ignore everything and ignore everything.

In an instant, all dangers were concentrated on Beifeng Mountain.

The road up the mountain was difficult, and it was impossible to ride a horse at all. Xia Yu had no choice but to abandon the horse and go on foot, tying the horse to a hidden place at the foot of the mountain.

At a glance, there are dense forests everywhere, covering the sky and the sun, and it is dim and dark, which makes people feel a little panicked.Xia Yu was bold, so she was naturally not afraid of these things, so she walked forward quickly with her burden on her back.

As long as she finds out the murderer, Liang Yiru doesn't have to be the son-in-law of the Prince Regent's House, nor does he have to die.

Behind him, fallen leaves swished down, and the sound of running footsteps came one after another.

Xia Yu's body froze on the spot in shock, and she quickly turned her head to look behind her.Although I didn't see anyone for the time being, the fear and anxiety in my heart became more and more intense.

The next moment, she ran away.
