Chapter 126
京都
On the way to Wangjing Tower.

"Are you not full at noon or what? Why are you so moaning, hurry up!"

Xiao Jun turned his head and looked at Chu Fei who was walking three steps behind him and taking one step back, and said with a frown.

It is not far from the first floor of the world to the Wangjing Tower, and they have been walking for almost half an hour.

"I'm coming."

Chu Fei agreed, but the pace of his feet never accelerated.

To be honest, he is unwilling to go, even in normal times, he is not qualified to have dinner with the prince, especially in this sensitive period, the emperor has already said that day, as long as the people in the court are found to be related to the disappearance of the prince , You can just grab it and talk about it.

If you get too close at this time, if the second prince is really related to the disappearance of the prince, then he will not be able to do so.Originally, he didn't want Xiao Jun to go, but he didn't expect Xiao Jun to agree so quickly, and he insisted on pulling him to go with him.

So one can imagine how much he resisted, but due to Xiao Jun's identity, he didn't dare to say it clearly.

Stopping and stopping, dawdling, the two finally arrived at Wangjing Tower.

Today's Wangjing Tower seems to be specially designed to receive Xiao Jun, and it is not open to the public, and the second prince's guards are guarding the door.

In the sound of the guard's notification, Xiao Jun took Chu Fei up to the second floor slowly. As soon as he went upstairs, he saw the second prince Zhao Yi sitting behind a big round table, constantly looking at the stairs.

"Mr. Xu Zhu, you are finally here!"

Seeing Xiao Jun's appearance, the second prince stood up happily and walked up to him quickly.

"I'm sorry, Second Prince, I've been delayed by something, I'm late."

Xiao Jun smiled and clasped his fists.

"It's okay, it's okay, Mr. Xu Zhu can come here to show off face, please sit down quickly, please sit down."

Zhao Yi looked enthusiastic, waved his hands to indicate that he didn't mind, and forcibly pulled Xiao Jun to let Xiao Jun sit on the main seat.

Xiao Jun did not follow Zhao Yi's arrangement this time, but sat down on the seat closest to him.

Seeing that Xiao Jun had already taken his seat, Zhao Yi coughed in embarrassment, and no longer forced himself to sit on the main seat, and began to greet Xiao Er to serve the food, and poured a glass of wine for Xiao Jun himself.

"Can he sit down and eat together?"

Xiao Jun pointed to Chu Fei, looked at Zhao Yi, smiled and said.

"Yes, yes, it seems that Deputy Commander Chu has gotten very close to Mr. Xu Zhu recently."

Zhao Yi glanced at Chu Fei, and said with a smile, with a hint of obvious banter in his words.

What he cares about is not who sits and who doesn't, the important thing is that Chu Fei was brought by Xiao Jun, so he can sit. If Chu Fei came by himself, he might not even let Chu Fei come up to the second floor.

This is also a problem that Chu Fei understands in his heart, so since he came up to the second floor, he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, and he was a little at a loss.

Soon, the two waiters brought up all the dishes plate by plate. There were all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas, and they were very rich.

But it was obvious that none of the three people present came to eat.

"I heard that Mr. Xu Zhu has already agreed to father and is willing to come forward to save my elder brother?"

Zhao Yi looked at Xiao Jun and asked as if asking for proof.

His elder brother is naturally the prince who has disappeared.

"Yes."

Xiao Jun didn't hide it, Zhao Yi, as the prince, how could he hide it?
"Then I want to thank you sir for my elder brother. I really hope that sir can find my elder brother as soon as possible and bring him back."

Zhao Yi looked at Xiao Jun devoutly, and said seriously.

"Does the Second Highness hope that the prince will come back alive or dead?"

Xiao Jun looked at Zhao Yi, and suddenly asked directly.

After hearing Xiao Jun's words, Zhao Yi and Chu Fei were stunned at the same time. They didn't expect Xiao Jun to dare to say such words in the capital, and he was still in front of the second prince who was also a member of the royal family.

For a mortal, just this one sentence is enough to kill everyone.

"I don't quite understand what you said sir, please explain clearly, sir!"

Zhao Yi's complexion was slightly gloomy, he looked at Xiao Jun, and said slowly, clearly seeing a trace of displeasure.

"Don't mind, Your Highness. I just heard some rumors. Some people say that the mastermind behind the kidnapping of the prince may be the Second Highness. The purpose is to compete for the position of the prince and the imperial power."

Xiao Jun said solemnly, but the matter of the prince's disappearance is clearly still a top secret, few people know about it, let alone rumors.

"I don't know where the sir's rumor came from, but it's obviously telling the truth? If I really kidnapped the elder brother, why would I dare to sit here and invite the husband to the dinner party? This is not self-introduction A snare?"

"Besides, if something really happened to my elder brother, then I must be the first one to be suspected. It's too late for me to hide. Why did I dig a hole for myself? And that's my elder brother. Anyway, he is my elder brother. , how could I unite with outsiders to kidnap my elder brother?"

The more Zhao Yi spoke, the louder his voice seemed to be really angry.

Chu Fei, who was sitting next to Xiao Jun, had been restless for a long time, because the rumors in Xiao Jun's mouth came from his mouth, but his was just an analysis, not a definite conclusion. Unexpectedly, Xiao Jun Actually blatantly asked the second prince directly.

"I don't think it's possible. The second prince is not stupid. Even if he really wanted to kill the prince, he wouldn't choose such a method. There are many ways to choose."

Xiao Jun shook his head with a smile, and said to himself.

Originally Zhao Yi had already smiled, but after understanding Xiao Jun's words, his face sank again, and this time he was really angry.

"Sir, please respect yourself. Although I respect you, it doesn't mean I can tolerate him slandering me! If these rumors reach the ears of my father, I'm afraid the entire imperial city will be in turmoil!"

Zhao Yi stared into Xiao Jun's eyes and said in a deep voice.Sweat was already visible on his forehead, which was obviously different from when Xiao Jun came in just now.

"Okay, then I will punish myself and apologize to the Second Highness, I shouldn't talk nonsense."

Xiao Jun shook his head, and while speaking, he picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, while secretly observing Zhao Yi's expression.

Zhao Yi's face was a little cloudy and uncertain, and he was no longer as enthusiastic as he was at the beginning. Without saying a word, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Afterwards, the two of them chatted without saying a word, and they were no longer as enthusiastic as they were at the beginning, and the meal was drowsy without any atmosphere.

But Chu Fei, who was sitting by the side, didn't eat much, and his attention was always on the two of them, trembling with fear, for fear that Xiao Jun would say something suddenly.

The banquet started very late, but ended very quickly. After drinking for three rounds, Xiao Jun said goodbye to Zhao Yi and left Wangjing Tower with Chu Fei on the grounds that he still had something to do.

But this time Zhao Yi didn't stop him much, he just showed a symbolic politeness.

When Xiao Jun walked out of Wangjing Tower, a sneer flashed across his mouth.

The reason why he was so straightforward was that he wanted to stay away from Zhao Yi, who always wanted to get close to him, so as not to hinder his investigation of the prince's affairs, and the second was to test Zhao Yi to see if the prince's disappearance had anything to do with Zhao Yi. .

But Zhao Yi's answer was watertight, even if he was angry, Xiao Jun couldn't find any faults.

But Xiao Jun understands that being angry can't prove anything, because people will get angry after being wronged and exposed, so Zhao Yi is still the object of his suspicion now.

You know, there is no silver 300 taels here, and it can be reversed.
