Mu family's little lucky girl

Chapter 86 The deal struck

"I am also helpless."

Wei Qi said helpless words, but there was no helpless expression on his face.

"You have been refusing to recognize me, and you have been refusing to do things by my side. I had to use a little trick to get you to come to me."

Chen Xiao lazily raised his eyelids, glanced at him coolly, snorted coldly, and did not speak.

"However, visiting Dr. Liu is something I have long wanted to do. It's just that he has been traveling all over the world for these years. I have been suffering from not knowing his whereabouts, so I have been procrastinating from visiting him. I found you, and also found Dr. Liu."

As he spoke, Wei Qi picked up the teacup and the lid, skimmed off the foam gracefully, and took a sip of the fragrant and mellow Longjing tea with an intoxicated expression on his face.

"This tea is Longjing tea, which I brought here specially from the capital. After drinking it, it leaves the fragrance on the cheeks and refreshes the heart. It is really a divine product of tea; it would be a pity not to drink it."

Chen Xiao remained unmoved, and picked up a jade-white chess piece from the chess box. With a crisp sound, the chess piece fell, and the white chess, which had no way out, came back to life in an instant, while the black chess was suddenly trapped. disadvantage.

Chen Xiao didn't lose his face because he reversed the situation of Bai Qi, he still had no expression on his face, and said calmly: "Tell me, why are you looking for me this time?"

Wei Qi put down the teacup, looked at him with black eyes, with a serious expression, "Have you heard about the cases of missing children in the town?"

Chen Xiao picked up another chess piece, heard the words, twisted it in his hand to play.

The bottom of the eyes floated and sank.

"You mean the strange disappearance of a boy from your home for several days in succession?"

Wei Qi nodded solemnly.

"It is said that the children sleepwalked and disappeared while the adults were asleep; but the weird thing is that a child's sleepwalking can be explained, but there are children sleepwalking for several days in a row, and they are all boys. This is strange."

Snapped!
Chen Xiao dropped another piece, with lowered eyebrows, it landed on the chessboard.

"With the county magistrate here, he will give an explanation to the families of the missing children."

Chen Xiao held his sleeve with his left hand, reached for Wei Qi's black chess with his right hand, and started to play chess by himself.

He took a moment to look up at him, and said: "His Royal Highness tried so hard to get me to come to you, I'm afraid it's not because of this matter?"

Wei Qi leaned back on the chair and said, "You are still as smart as you were when you were a child. I didn't expect you to be separated for so many years. On this point, you still haven't changed."

Chen Xiao's father, Chen Liang, used to be the personal bodyguard of Emperor Hong Tai for several years when he was a child. At that time, he had a good friendship with Emperor Zhou Gaozu who was the general.

Because of the relationship between the adults, the two children walked around more frequently. In addition, the two children were of the same age and could play together, so their relationship was very close back then.

However, Chen Liang resigned from this position after serving as a bodyguard for about three years by Emperor Hong Tai, and begged the emperor to allow him to return to his hometown of Xingzhou County. As the head of a county, govern Xingzhou County.

Since then, the two have never met again.

However, after nearly ten years of separation between the two, there is no gap between them after meeting again, as if they are still the same as before.

Wei Qi sat up straight and said seriously: "I suspect that the disappearance of the child this time is related to the group that hunted and killed me."

Chen Xiaoman asked casually: "Are you being missed by your opponent?"

"Stop joking, I'm serious."

At the beginning, he lied that he was in business, and his family hated him, so he sent people to hunt him down, purely because there were outsiders present, and he couldn't say much, so he made a fool of himself.

With Chen Xiao's wisdom, he will definitely be able to tell the truth from the fake.

At this moment, I deliberately teased him with words.

Chen Xiao: "Did you offend someone on the way?"

Wei Qi avoided his question and said seriously: "I need your help."

"I said that I would not agree." Chen Xiaoyun said lightly: "Since you have been hunted down, it means that you will be killed if you get involved too much. I am only sixteen years old and I am not alive yet. Enough."

Wei Qi laughed angrily: "I am ordering you now as the prince, so you can't refuse!"

Chen Xiao spread his hands together: "You say you are the prince, who will believe it?"

Wei Qi: "...What if I say that this group of people is related to the death of County Magistrate Chen?"

Chen Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, his face suddenly turned cold.

At the beginning, he suspected that his father's death might have something to do with the remnants of the previous dynasty and the Beidi people lurking in Dazhou. Could it be that Anling County also has the shadow of these two forces?

If this is the case, it will be difficult for him to investigate the truth of his father's death by himself.

"Why should I believe what you say?"

Wei Qi: "I am the prince, there is no reason to come here from the capital just to lie to you."

Chen Xiao stared at him for a moment, and said, "Tell me, how can I help you?"

Wei Qi lowered his eyes and turned the jade finger on his right hand, "Help me investigate the mastermind behind this case and find those missing children."

"However, before I leave Anling County, you must stay by my side to protect my safety."

Wei Qi is a prince, but he always speaks gently, without a trace of aggressiveness, and he rarely uses the position of prince to oppress others and force others to submit to him.

No matter how ugly Chen Xiao's face was, no matter how bad his tone was, he knew the seriousness of the matter, and naturally he would not let his temper run wild in front of major events.

Moreover, Chen Xiao had been reluctant to get too close to Wei Qi before, because he was afraid of getting into trouble. On the other hand, he knew that there were many hidden guards around Wei Qi who were secretly protecting him, so Chen Xiao refused from the very beginning. his request.

However, if the opponent is a remnant of the previous dynasty and a Beidi person lurking in Dazhou, then things are another matter.

"I can promise you, but you have to agree to my conditions."

"You said."

Chen Xiao narrowed his eyes, his eyes darkened, "From now on, stay away from Ah Li, including her family."

Wei Qi's eyes were stained with a bit of teasing, "Has the son of the No. [-] martial artist lost confidence in his charm?"

Chen Xiao sneered: "I haven't put you in my eyes yet."

Wei Qi choked on him so much, he couldn't hold back his face at all.

He rolled up his sleeves, pointed at his handsome face, and said: "I am no worse than you in appearance, looking at the entire capital, I can't find a second person who is more handsome and talented than me."

"How come you can't see it when you come here?"

Chen Xiao glanced at him, his attitude was obviously perfunctory.

Wei Qi coughed dryly, and continued: "Heng, I am the crown prince after all, the future heir apparent. If you treat me so disrespectfully, aren't you afraid that I will blame you in the future?"

Chen Xiao's expression has already fully demonstrated that he is not afraid.

Wei Qi leaned back in his chair, turned his head to look at him, and said with a serious expression, "Heng, not only I want to stay away from Miss Mu, but you too."

"I know." Chen Xiao's expressionless face finally showed impatience, and he said angrily, "I don't need your reminder."

Wei Qi has a special status, not only the remnants of the previous dynasty stared at him, but also the lurking Beidi people.

No matter who they are, they both want to capture Wei Qi alive, so as to threaten Emperor Zhou Gaozu to abdicate, and then take over the rule of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

But exactly how these two forces are, everything is still unknown.

And Chen Xiao could not be involved in it, but he had to find out the truth about his father's death.

People, once they make a choice, are bound to face trade-offs.

If the father's death was not a simple death in the line of duty, but a premeditated political action, then he continued to keep close attention to Mu Li and her family, and it is very likely that they will be affected.

Therefore, Chen Xiao had to stay away from them in the future.

Always keep a distance from them, especially Muli.

Wei Qi saw that his face was cold and displeased, and all the displeasure in his heart disappeared in an instant.

He laughed unkindly.

Chen Xiao swept over with a cold gaze.

Wei Qi smiled even more cheerfully.
