Fish swimming around the world

"Then, let's assume that the problem lies with Jiang Fan and Man'er themselves. What kind of riddle are these two people... playing?" Sima Ru said with great interest.

King Wei suddenly also smiled slightly: "If it is really for love, it would be really interesting."

Sima Ru suddenly looked at King Wei: "Your Majesty, if possible, do you agree with Man'er to marry that King Xiaoyao?"

King Wei stopped and thought for a moment: "If we don't act small, it will be more useful than marrying Xiahou Ting..."

Sima Ru nodded slightly: "But the problem is that it is unrealistic not to be a child. Therefore, the king will never agree. If the king does not agree...then will the two of them perform a show in the air and show their respect for Xiahou Ting? , How about actually telling the king?"

King Wei's eyes froze: "What the Imperial Master means... Man'er's real purpose is to force this King to agree?"

Sima Ru said calmly: "Man'er has been independent since she was a child, not following the secular etiquette. Especially after walking with Jiang Fan, it became even more obvious. If she doesn't care and wants to be that Jiang Fan's woman, it is really possible. …”

King Wei was dumbfounded for a long time: "What the hell is it that a great woman is not allowed to stay..."

…

The third day of September is the big day when the son of the Marshal of Wei's army marries Princess Changying of Wei.

It was already August 27th, and there were only six days left before the wedding, but he didn't want to break the news that Xia Houting had assassinated King Xiaoyao and shock the whole city.

After many attempts to trace the source, it was found that a Jianghu man named Xia Chen revealed the matter to the girl he liked after he got drunk in a brothel. And this Xia Chen was one of the people who accepted the employment that day. It is said that a total of four martial arts masters accepted the employment of Xia Houting that day, and King Xiaoyao killed three of them. Only he himself managed to escape because he was responsible for the lookout.

This person said that they did not know that they were dealing with King Xiaoyao, and they just took the portrait to assassinate him. They did not expect that he would be such a big shot, and that he would be protected by a martial saint. This man was very proud of being able to escape from King Xiaoyao, but he did not dare to say anything about it. In the end, he couldn't hold it in after drinking, and boasted about it to Cui Liu'er, the girl he wanted to marry.

Who knew that this girl was a big talker, and it didn't take long for her to spread the news to her close friend. Later, this close friend revealed the matter to many people as a conversation piece after drinking, and eventually the news spread and the whole city knew about it.

Afterwards, Xia Chen and his lover probably hid because they saw the situation was not going well.

And no one knew that Xia Chen and Cui Liu'er were kneeling in front of a young man in the Tianzi Room of Yuelai Inn.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I have done as you asked... Can you please spare this villain's life..."

Xia Chen said with an anxious expression.

The young man is naturally none other than Xiaoyao Wang Jiangfan.

He smiled slightly: "Don't worry, if I want to kill you, I won't let you go on the day of the assassination. You are a smart kid. I kept you just for today. You did a good job. I will give you a generous reward afterwards."

Xia Chen quickly thanked him profusely. Yes, he is one of the four groups of people in Xia Kingdom, the group with a bit of probing meaning.

Jiang Fan turned to look at Cui Liu'er: "You are not bad. I will tell Miss Luan later that your reward will be indispensable."

Cui Liuer hurriedly kowtowed: "Your Majesty is my master's distinguished guest. It is Cui Liuer's honor to serve you. I would never accept it as a reward from your Majesty."

Jiang Fan smiled: "Okay, everyone, get up, our play is not over yet."

The two of them kowtowed respectfully before standing up.

Jiang Fan stood up and walked to the window. He put his hands behind his hands and looked out the window with a smile on his lips: "Next...just wait for that stupid pig to send someone to kill you."

——

In the palace, King Wei and Sima Ru were playing chess. Suddenly, a general in front of the palace came in and reported: "Your Majesty, someone is flying an arrow to deliver a message."

King Wei was stunned for a moment, then slowly put down the chess piece in his hand and said, "Bring it up."

The general in front of the palace presented a letter sealed with fire paint to King Wei with both hands, then bowed and left.

King Wei stared at it for a while, slowly opened it, looked at it for a moment, his eyes moved, and handed the letter to Sima Ru: "The Imperial Master will also take a look."

Sima Ru took it and saw it said: "The third house on the west side of Baima Lane in the west of the city can fish."

Sima Ru looked at it for a long time and then showed a meaningful expression: "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

King Wei tapped his fingers on the chessboard: "Send a message to me, it depends on my attitude."

Sima Rudao: "Now it is certain that King Xiaoyao is in Jian'an, and he must have done this. The meaning of this letter is very simple, give us a step."

King Wei nodded: "Yes, give us the witness and let us take Xiahou Ting by the way. Naturally, the wedding can only be cancelled."

Sima Ru said: "A good method is inevitable. But if you do this, you will offend Marshal Xiahou."

King Wei said: "Xiahou is easy to handle. If he knew about this, he would not break Xiahou Ting's legs. Even if he is resentful, he can only blame his son for being confused."

Sima Ru shook his head: "This King Xiaoyao is very clever. However, I am really curious. He really did not use this matter to threaten Wei State. In his eyes, the overall situation of the world is not as important as Man'er. Unless I haven't understood its meaning yet." , Otherwise, this person can be called the most passionate person."

King Wei said slowly: "If this is really the case, we finally discovered a weakness in him."

Sima Ru said: "The weakness is Nilin, the king needs to weigh it carefully."

King Wei snorted coldly: "Only dragons have reverse scales."

Sima Ru said calmly: "He is wearing a five-clawed golden dragon king robe..."

King Wei's eyes were deep and his thick eyebrows were furrowed tightly.

Sima Ru sighed and said, "Then... do something?"

The King of Wei also said helplessly: "It's really passive..."

——

There are only six days left for the wedding, and Xiahou Ting is like an ant on a hot pot.

The source of the news has been found, but the problem is that the person cannot be found.

What makes him most uneasy is that it seems that the King of Wei is also looking for that person. This means that the King of Wei may have other intentions. It just so happens that the old man is in charge of the army and can only come back on the day of the wedding. Now it can be said that there is no backbone.

Just when he was restless, suddenly a maid hurried in.

Xiahou Ting was stunned. He knew this maid. She was the personal maid of the eighth concubine.

The maid knelt and saluted: "Young Master, the lady wants to see you."

Xiahou Ting was stunned: "Aunt looking for me?"

The maid nodded.

"What's the matter?"

"I don't know, you can ask in person."

Xiahou Ting pondered for a while, and immediately got up and followed the maid to the backyard.

Soon, they arrived at an elegant little building, where a young lady with an elegant face, like a mountain lily, was sitting quietly and drinking tea.

This was the eighth concubine, Wang Su, who was recently taken into the mansion by his old man. She was quietly raised in the other courtyard for a few months before being officially taken into the mansion, and she was very favored.

At the beginning, the other concubines were very resistant, but this young lady was very good at handling things, and she kept giving gifts every few days. Gradually, they stopped making trouble. After all, Xiahou Chun already had seven concubines, so it didn't matter if there was one more.
