Chapter 120 Birthday Celebrations Upstairs ([-])

Ye Lingxi was thinking about several possibilities. He didn't notice that there was a plum blossom blooming on a plum branch in front of him. He walked forward without paying attention to where the people next to him were.After a while, she stopped, looked around, and realized that there was no one around her. When she turned around, she saw someone standing in front of a plum tree. She lowered her head and kicked the toe of her shoe a few times, then slowly moved back.

"Do you like this one?" Ye Lingjue asked, looking at the plum blossom on the branch.

"This one is also pretty." Ye Lingxi also looked at the plum blossom. It seemed a little lonely among the sparse branches. Because of this, it deepened the cold and proud temperament. Although there was no ice and snow, it was The blooming seems to bring a steep chill, cold and tough.

Two days later, Ye Lingxi followed Xiao Luzi to the martial arts training ground to watch her third brother and Commander Wu learn how to tame falcons.Commander Wu was holding the black hawk on his arm, and his usually stern face seemed to show a bit of helplessness, as if he had been so entangled that he had no choice but to squeeze out this little free time.

The guard on the side was holding another cage, which contained another eagle. Compared with the black eagle led by Wu Commander, it was slightly smaller in size. Its feathers were dark brown and brown, and its sharp eyes always showed his actions. The domineering power of the king of the air.

Commander Wu asked Ye Lingxi to stand next to him, and then motioned to the guards to open the cage. The eagle in the cage did not fly out immediately. Ye Xingye raised his arms to let the eagle stand on it, staring firmly at the pair of sharp eyes. Eagle Eyes, the eagle stayed still, suddenly soared into the sky, Ye Xingye couldn't dodge, and the strong feathers whizzed across his rosy face, as if he had been slapped in the face, and his face became more rosy and looked radiant. , full of vitality.After hurriedly rubbing his face twice, he immediately chased after him. One man and one eagle started a chase that tested his perseverance in the sky and on the ground.

The black eagle flew from Commander Wu's arm, spread its wings and soared under the blue sky, like a strict invigilator, restraining the eagle within the scope of the martial arts training ground with absolute majesty.

After Ye Lingxi watched for a while, he looked up at Commander Wu and asked him if the bad guy had been caught.Facing those big shining eyes, Commander Wu still adhered to the principle of no comment and did not reveal any information.

"Commander Wu, just tell me. I won't tell others. Maybe I can help you catch the bad guys." Ye Lingxi blinked her big sincere eyes and looked up at Commander Wu's resolute chin. Commander Wu was still not convinced. Moved, she pursed her little cherry mouth and her watery eyes looked like she was about to cry. Commander Wu frowned as if he was a little helpless.

"Princess, I really have nothing to say."

Ye Lingxi puffed up his cheeks angrily and smiled weirdly, "I know where the bad guys are hiding."

Commander Wu only thought it was a child's talk and didn't take it seriously.

"Commander Wu, look." Ye Lingxi raised a hand, clenching his fist as if he was holding something. After Commander Wu glanced at it, his eyes returned to the man and the eagle chasing in front. Ye Lingxi put away his fist. , and stopped talking.

About half an hour later, Commander Wu blew his whistle, and the black eagle swooped down and personally escorted the eagle back to the cage, then landed on Commander Wu's arm. Commander Wu threw a piece of raw meat for it to eat.Ye Xingye also picked out a piece of meat and gave it to the eagle to eat. The other person took one look at it and turned around, pointing his butt towards the person, showing no appreciation at all.

Ye Lingxi saw her third brother running and was sweating profusely. She raised her hand and stretched out her fist in front of him, "Third brother, what do you think I'm holding in my hand?" Ye Xingye looked at the little fist curiously, He held his chin and thought for a while, "Eat?" Ye Lingxi shook his head, "If it's not food, then it's gadgets." Ye Xingye said wildly, and Ye Lingxi shook his head again.Commander Wu asked the guards to take Ying down, resigned and was about to leave. He paused when he heard Ye Lingxi's words behind him.

"Third brother, you always stare at my hand. In fact, I am holding something in my other hand." Ye Lingxi took out the other hand behind his back and opened his palm. Inside was a green star. of grapes.Commander Wu glanced at the grape, thoughtfully, then glanced at Ye Lingxi in surprise, and then walked away.

"Third brother, try it and see if it's sweet or not." Ye Lingxi said as she glanced at Commander Wu who was leaving, thinking that the other party must have understood what she meant. She had been thinking about the craftsman these past two days. Last night, I suddenly had an idea and thought of a possibility. Is it possible that the missing craftsman was just a cover-up to arouse suspicion? As long as the craftsman is not found, the real culprit will be She could hide her eyes from others and not be discovered. It happened that Xiaoluzi came to her today and said that Commander Wu was going to teach her third brother how to falcon and let her go over to see it. She had an idea and came up with such a method. Next, it was up to Commander Wu to verify it. .

Ye Xingye was eating grapes and felt that one was not enough. She asked Ye Lingxi if there were any more. Ye Lingxi poured out all the green grapes in her purse. She originally planned to use them as snacks, but the grapes were big and sweet. , the skin is also thin, and it melts when you put it in your mouth and take a sip.

……

Two days later, Commander Wu released all the craftsmen imprisoned in Yetingsi from the palace, and then had people secretly monitor their every move.Finally, on a dark and windy night, a craftsman quietly slipped out of his house and finally arrived in front of a small house hidden in a secluded alley. The location was very remote and inconspicuous. He carefully looked around and quietly recommended. After entering the door, he took out a hoe from the woodshed and started digging soil in the yard. After the excavated soil piled up into a hill about one meter high, he dragged out a sack from the kitchen, which seemed to contain a person. When he was pushing the sack into the pit and preparing to bury it, two black figures jumped in and quickly subdued him, then pinched his mouth open to prevent himself from committing suicide.

Commander Wu interrogated the craftsman overnight. Under torture, the craftsman revealed that the person behind the scenes was the steward of the Duke's Mansion.

After the morning meeting the next day, Ye Lanchen left Shen Ning to discuss matters in the Imperial Study Room and asked Commander Wu to tell him what happened. Shen Ning was surprised when he heard that the craftsman revealed that the person behind the scenes was his housekeeper. .

"Your Majesty, this must be framed by someone. The old housekeeper of Weichen's family is over 60 years old and has lost several teeth. How can he have the courage to kill someone if he can't even kill a chicken? Your Majesty is aware of this!" After saying this! If it was reasonable, Shen Ning shouted brother-in-law again and again, causing people to have a headache.

Ye Lanchen waved his hand to tell him to shut up, "If I were suspicious, I wouldn't ask you to come over."

"Your Majesty is indeed aware of everything," Shen Ning said flatteringly without blushing.

Ye Lanchen waved his hand again, "I called you here to remind you that someone is eyeing the Duke's Mansion, and you know it yourself."

Shen Ning turned into a serious face for a second, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will pay attention to you." After a pause, "The Queen..."

"Didn't you just say that I know everything about you? Now I'm afraid that I will hold the Queen accountable." Ye Lanchen's tone softened a bit, "I naturally know the Queen's character."

Shen Ning wanted to see the craftsman, so Ye Lanchen asked Wu Tong to take him there.
