Chapter 361 The Praying Mantis Knife

Wu Yan looked at the painting boat on the lake, the concubine Xiang and the concubine Yue were swimming in the lake, talking and laughing in harmony.He coldly withdrew his gaze and looked at Duanger Peak.This man, since he was a persecuted prince, has led the Duange family to stand by him, and he is the only one among the nobles who supports him in marrying Mo Zi as his queen.If there is anyone in this world who can trust him wholeheartedly, it is probably only this gray-haired old man.

He sighed and said, "My eyes are full of spring scenery, but my heart is covered with mountains of ice and snow. Prime Minister, if you leave, I'm afraid you won't find someone who is truly lonely. I wish you a long life and a long life."

Duangerfeng laughed and said, "Thank you for the blessing of the king. It's just that I have lived for a hundred years, and my fate will eventually come to an end. However, although the old man has already entered the coffin, if I don't choose Duange's descendants to continue to be loyal to the king, I will not leave. .The sons are all mediocre, but the grandson is worthy of great use. Ah Shou is brave and resourceful, and does things calmly. When he returns to the capital, I ask the king to observe him more."

"Duanggeshou's biological mother is Han, and she was not a direct descendant. If the prime minister wants to pass on the position of patriarch to him, there must be many obstacles in the way ahead." Wu Yan was a little surprised by Duangerfeng's decision.

"So, the old man may have to use the king's order at that time. The position of the patriarch is for those who are capable. They are both in the blood of my Duange family, so how can we divide them into descendants?" Duangerfeng is an outstanding patriarch of a generation with a long-term vision And the chest is broad.

Yan nodded in response to him, "I never thought that such a timid and thin boy would succeed you. If I had known this, I should have gotten closer to him."

"If it weren't for the king's vision, how could he lead troops and order generals... How could he establish a great reputation?" Duangerfeng stroked his snow-white long beard "King, counting the time, Miss Song should have arrived in Dadu. Why did we The people sent can't find her?" The beautiful woman in my memory has extraordinary wisdom and dexterity... she is the perfect candidate for the empress.

"There are still three days before Qingming... She must be here, but none of the traps set by Gu have been touched. I don't know when and how she entered. I thought she would rush to find out about Dou Lu's whereabouts." , It seems that people are so anxious that they are alone. Prime Minister, I just said that in front of you, this time I have no confidence at all." The beauty on the lake seems to be a painting, but he can't see it in his heart.

"Miss Song can avoid the Song Mansion, Hu City and those old places she once loved, but she will definitely not be able to avoid Chu Liu's peony party tomorrow. The king will keep the news of Chu Yu secret...except for asking from Chu Liu, she has already Don't go the other way. Even if Miss Song can guess that it's a trap, I'm afraid she will have to jump. However, as Wang said, she is very smart, we have to watch one by one to avoid mistakes." Duangerfeng really appreciates Mo Zi.

Wu Yan's eyes flickered, and he was full of ambitions, "When we get married, that's when we march into Nande. When Nande returns to me... Dazhou and I will divide the world equally, and then take it to unify, and the great cause will be accomplished."

"My king's wish will come true." Duanger Peak retreated and arranged.

Yuan Cheng's carriage was parked on Rabbit Mountain, from where Mo Zi could see his former home.

"I didn't expect to be able to see it like this." She looked at the eaves. "Suddenly realized that the yard I used to live in was really small. At that time, I was playing hide and seek with Doulu. In order not to let me find it, she actually hid In the big hu pot... covered the head with soil, planted a hu plant, ended up eating a mouthful of mud... made me laugh..."

Yuan Cheng listened with a smile, holding her hand tightly.

"We left four years ago. These houses and yards still look so clean, there are no weeds, but there is no one. As I expected, it is another trap of Wu Yan——" Mo Zi suddenly paused, He couldn't help but took two steps forward, pointing at "Yao Huang."

Yuan Cheng saw a row of bright hu flowers blooming below, "It may not be Yao Huang."

"No, no, Yuan Cheng, it's not the one that came out in the row, but the one with only leaves at the corner." Mo Zi didn't blink, and looked at "Doulu loves peony, I also know it." A lot."

"Wu Yan put Yao Huang on?" Yuan Cheng thought so.

"No matter who placed it, it was the news from Doulu to me." Mo Zi turned and left. "You know, Doulu and I played a game from the east to the west of the city. At that time, Doulu couldn't go out, but I often tell her about the outside world. In order to let her know where is where, I treat that yard as a shrunken metropolis. The location of Yao Huang is in Zhengxi Ying Temple, where only Wuyan can go. It is rumored that the shadow guards all come from that temple, and it is also the most mysterious and unknown place. I should have thought of it earlier. Yuan Cheng, Jinyin and Doulu are most likely locked there."

"Are you going to kill me now?" Seeing her aggressiveness, Yuan Cheng grabbed her, "Who just said that it is the most mysterious and unknown place? Besides, how did Wu Yan expect it?" So what should I do? ?It's fine if there are no clues, do you know where the person is, and continue to circle around with Wu Yan?Yao Huanghu, this means that gold and silver may be in danger, and they can't wait any longer. "She and Dou Lu have a tacit understanding.

"I'll go." Yuan Cheng's gentle expression contained determination, "but I need to prepare. If Wu Yan set up the Peony Society for you, tomorrow night is the best time for us to make a move. You have to go to Chu Liu's place. Wuyan wishes."

Mo Zi's eyes froze, "Yuan Cheng!

Yuan Cheng smiled, "Two smart people, two places that need to do smart things, I think you and I should be able to do it."

Mo Zi made his self-satisfaction laugh. "Okay, I agree to split up, but before dawn, someone must send a message to me, otherwise I will go find you."

"Yes." Yuan Cheng spread out his palms, "High-five as a vow.

With a snap, both palms joined together.

On the night of the Peony Club, Mo Zi and others sneaked into the Yuling Prince's Mansion.

"Unexpectedly, Prince Yuling still has a wide range of people when he is begging for help, so many people come." Yang Qiao was very sensitive. "I thought he was a hostage. Even if he begged the king to grant him prosperity and wealth, he would be neglected by the court."

"That's true. Could it be that others come when he invites you? I see the disapproval expressions of most of the guests." Wei Jia agreed with Yang Qiao.

"I also find it strange, unless Prince Yuling is good at dancing and can win people's hearts, but it doesn't seem like that." Shen'an also doubted.

Mo Zi was silent, wondering if Yuan Cheng's operation was going well.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Wei saw that she had something on her mind.

"I just think that our appearance should be able to deceive people." She and Yang Qiao were dressed as young ladies with heavy makeup on purpose.Fortunately, on such an occasion, almost every woman is showing off her branches, and the two of them are inconspicuous.

"Remember, don't attract others' attention." After Xiao Wei instructed, he took Wei Jia and Zhong An to check out the terrain.

Mo Zi and Yang Qiao sat in the female family's table, quietly listening to their chat.

"I heard that Prince Chu has a distinguished guest tonight." A noble woman at the same table said.

"I've heard about it too. It is said that the Peony Fair is held for him, but I don't know who it is." Another nobleman quickly added.

Because half of the guests are the female relatives of rich merchants in Yuling, they mainly speak Chinese.

Yang Qiao naturally understood. She took a look at Mo Zi and mustered up her courage to ask, "Could it be the king?"

Her appearance is quiet and delicate, and when her small face mentions Daqiu Wang, she still prints red, which makes people think that she is interested in Wang, but it is reasonable.

"No. How could the king come? Don't say that the king won't come, even the three major families of Duangmaer will not come. We have to attend as a last resort. It must be from Yuling." Curling his lips, he seemed disdainful.

Attending by order?Mo Zi sneered, it really was Wu Yan's trick, but he didn't know what kind of gimmick this distinguished guest was putting on.

"We'll find out later," she said in begging words.

Immediately, the attitudes of the two noble ladies changed, thinking that she and Yang Qiao belonged to some family.Just about to ask in detail, it was announced that Prince Chu had arrived.

There is only an aisle between the female family seats and the male guest seats, and Chu Liu walks in the middle, laughing and walking slowly, hugging the two beauties in Yuling palace costumes, laughing and chatting, as if they were not around.Behind Chu Liu, there were four palace maids sitting on the couch with a hanging curtain, and there was one person lying at the desk in the couch, and the curtain blocked it again, so he couldn't see his face.

Chu Liu took the seat, and the curtained couch was placed on his right side.He glanced at it with a contemptuous expression, picked up the flagon and raised his head to take a big sip, then burst out laughing.

"Everyone is invited to come tonight to see if Peony is fake, and to see if it is true that I, Chu Liu, punished the traitors in Yuling."

When everyone heard it, there was a lot of discussion.

Mo Zi squinted her eyes and found that the person behind the curtain was sitting upright.

"Before serving the dishes, I would like to give you an appetite. Recently, there have been many rumors that there is a second prince in Yuling, that is, my younger brother Chu Yu, who is in exile. As we all know, my younger brother died of illness a long time ago. Everyone must be surprised, How can the dead come back to life?" Chu Liu pulled a beauty and kissed suddenly, and said regardless of the expressions of the guests at the banquet, "I'll tell you the truth, this is the ugly home of the Yuling royal family. My brother is dead, Instead, he lied to my father’s money and went to the people to open a bank and start a business. You may have heard of the name. Gold and silver. Gold of gold, silver of silver, so vulgar. His gold and silver bank, Many of you should have saved money there.”

The discussion suddenly became louder.

"Thank you King Daqiu for catching this scum for me, so that I can deal with him with my own hands." As soon as Chu Liu waved his hand, a guard brought a knife.

Yang Qiao leaned close to Mo Zi's ear, "What is he going to do?"

"Everyone bear witness for me. From now on, only I will be the orthodox heir to the throne in Yuling. Whether Chu Yu, gold or silver, they will no longer exist in this world." Chu Liu got up and opened the curtain with a knife .

Yang Qiaozhong covered his hands and exclaimed.

Mo Zi bites hun, the person behind the curtain is wearing golden clothes, gems shine in his black hair, because he wants to grab the hilt of the sword, now the hand outside the curtain is covered with colorful beads and crystals.

Gold and silver? !

"You guys......" Chu Liu turned around and looked around, "Do you know why I used the curtain to block him? It's because he doesn't look like a man. Every time I see him, I feel disgusted. His mother is low. , he is also lowly, just a bastard. He doesn't deserve me to take another look."

He sent the knife in with both hands, and immediately there was the sound of the blade cutting through flesh.He stabbed more than a dozen knives in a row until the blood spattered and stained the curtain scarlet. ! .
