Shen Chu held Zai Zai on his lap, sat in Li Di's study, flipping through the words he practiced.Li Di sat across from each other, and the two exchanged the information they found recently.At the end, Li Di asked, "Why have you been so obsessed with the case of the Duke of Ning's Mansion lately? No matter what the facts were back then, it doesn't make much sense to find out, at least now it's impossible to reverse the case."

Shen Chu paused, he didn't know how to tell Li Di the truth back then, and he didn't know if it would bring him any adverse effects.

He used the reason Fang Heng thought, "Now that I have become the son of King Yun, and King Yun treats me well, I naturally still have to share my worries for King Yun." He is still not used to calling King Yun his father, and he always feels that It sounds a bit awkward.After all, he is not like Zai Zai, who is still a child. He is an adult, and a biological father pops up. Even if he treats him very well, he still can't get used to it quickly.

Li Di was obviously a little skeptical, "Really? I feel that Uncle Nine Emperors cares more about your body than anyone else. How could he let you investigate these old crimes?" Now the emperor already knows that Shen Chu is the child of King Yun and Shen Lang Well, if Shen Chu went to look up these old things now, it is inevitable that the emperor would not be suspicious.Neither King Yun nor himself was willing to see such a situation, let alone Shen Chu was still pregnant with a child.

Shen Chu said in his heart that he wanted to find out, King Yun would definitely not want him to come to this muddy water, but as a son of man, even if he passed through the book, he still wanted to know the truth about the past, and wanted to find out as much as possible. do something.

He deliberately changed the subject and said, "Why, doesn't Your Highness care about me more than King Yun?"

Li Di turned his face away and said uncomfortably, "Of course Gu cares, you are still pregnant with Gu's child."

If it was before, he would have kissed her long ago and let this person tease him.But now, he had to restrain himself.

Seeing his appearance, Shen Chu couldn't help wanting to tease him even more.He got up and put Zai Zai in his arms, sat next to him again, leaned into his arms and said, "King Yun is so kind to me now, I'm always a little at a loss, thinking about doing something in return."

"But King Yun doesn't lack anything. After thinking about it, he probably only has this knot in his heart."

"It's always nice if I can do something more."

Li Di's body was a little stiff, and while he was distracted, he tried his best to restrain himself.He said unnaturally, "But Uncle Jiuhuang can find out no less than us. He did all the things that should be investigated and should not be investigated. Now things are different, and if they are found out again, if they cause trouble, it's not what Uncle Jiuhuang wants. have witnessed."

Shen Chu raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "Are you afraid?"

Li Di said honestly, "Gu used to be invincible on the battlefield, and he has long put life and death aside."

"However, I'm afraid now. I'm alone with you, cubs, and the child in your belly. I can't bear to be alone."

"Gu is more reluctant to let you take risks."

Shen Chu couldn't help but soften in his heart, he was so moved, he leaned over and wanted to kiss Li Di's lips.

Unexpectedly, Li Di turned his face away quickly, he only brushed the corner of his mouth, and his lips brushed his face.

Shen Chu couldn't help getting a little angry. Although he knew the reason in his heart, he wanted to tease this person more and more, so he deliberately got angry, "What's going on with you recently? Why do you always seem to be avoiding me?"

Li Di racked his brains to think of reasons and said, "Zai Zai is still here, don't spoil the children."

"Gu didn't hide from you, but he was afraid that he could not control himself. You are pregnant now, so it is not appropriate to do these things."

Shen Chu snorted coldly in his heart, men are indeed big pig's hooves, who used to climb the walls so frequently when he was still in his small yard, and now he is lying in front of him and pretending to be abstinent.He was just trying to tease him, but it made them both unhappy.

So he got up and wanted to hug Zai Zai back, out of sight and out of mind.

Zai Zai thought the two fathers were playing a game, so he laughed happily, twisted his chubby body, and kissed Li Di on the cheek, then turned to kiss Shen Chu's cheek, and patted the little boy. Fat Hand said happily, "Kiss! Kiss!"

The room was full of atmosphere for a while, I don't know whether it was embarrassment or something else. Seeing Shen Chu angry, Li Di felt panicked in his heart. He seized Shen Chu's concern and said, "When you rest, let's go to visit Beibei." Prince Hu Tuge."

Shen Chu was stunned, he didn't know how this person changed the subject so quickly, but the business was important, these petty feelings between the two of them were put aside for the time being.

"Why?"

"Why hasn't this Prince Beihu left the capital yet? It's been a long time since the Ten Thousand Nations Court Meeting has passed, and the envoys of various countries have also left Beijing one after another. Prince Xishan stayed here to prepare for the marriage, and this Prince Beihu will never want to stay and do it." Consort?"

Li Di thought to himself that this person is really not to be messed with, and when he is in a bad mood, he has a sharp mouth, and he couldn't help secretly glad that he wasn't the one who was complained about.

"Wu Jia found out the news that the eldest prince had secretly contacted the prince's people. It is said that he wanted to find an ally in the court so that he could deal with the Yan clan of the Beihu tribe."

Shen Chu: "Who is the Yan clan of the Beihu tribe? Isn't she the eldest prince's biological mother?"

Li Di: "It is said that the Northern Huyan family is called Dunzhu, and she is a woman captured by Northern Hu Khan Chamuhe. Her identity is unknown."

"Before Dundup, Chamuhe had many women, but he didn't marry a wife. The eldest prince Tuge was born to his previous woman and had no status."

Shen Chu: "Does this Dunzhuyan clan have any children of their own?"

Li Di: "Chamuhe has three sons, all of whom were born before marrying Dunzhu. After marrying Dunzhu, they never had any more children."

Shen Chu understood, and asked, "There are rumors that Shen Lan, the younger sister of Duke Ningguo, was kidnapped by the leader of Beihu, and she was first in the Yan family of Beihu. What do you think?"

Li Di: "It's hearsay, you can't trust it, but we can still learn about Tuge, and maybe we can get some unexpected gains."

Shen Chu nodded.If the Dunzhuyan family is really Shen Lan, will the assassins at the Wan Guochao meeting have something to do with the Beihu people?But looking at the skills of those assassins, they were obviously not from Beihu, but he felt that there must be something to do with it.

All accidents must not be coincidences, and of course, they may not necessarily be the truth.

But in an unremarkable private house in the capital, Yan Jiu was sitting in front of the bed, with a pale face, eating rice porridge with her only arm.

A man in black flashed in from the outside, bowed his head and cupped his fists and said, "Zuoshi, the master of the sect has summoned you and Shen Shaoxia."

Shen Mo, who heard the noise coming in, looked at his master and couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive.

Yan Jiu gave him a comforting look, and said to the man in black, "Please lead the way."

On a cliff in the west mountain, a man in white clothes stood facing the wind with his hands behind his back, his robes fluttering, and his eyes were looking into the distance.He didn't look back when he heard the sound, Qingyuan's voice sounded, "You have failed this operation." His tone didn't fluctuate at all, but anyone who knew him knew that he was not in a very happy mood.

Shen Mo didn't know this sect master very well, he only knew that he had a deep affection for the former sect master Li Wugui, that is, his grandfather.

Li Wugui, once the world's most famous swordsman, founded the Juzimen, and there are no legends about him in the world.If he is still alive now, he should be in his early fifties.It is said that because he offended the imperial court and was assassinated by the emperor's secret guards, the current sect master Murong Bai has been dormant for many years, just wanting to kill the emperor.Of course, the emperor is not so easy to kill.

When Li Wugui was young, he was a romantic and heroic man. When he was young, he traveled all over the world. He went to the capital and met the oiran at that time.

The oiran raised Li Yunniang alone, and she didn't want to find Li Wugui again, even if she wanted to, the world is so big, she doesn't know where to find it.

Li Yunniang inherited the beauty of the oiran, and when she was sixteen, she became a famous beauty in Beijing. The oiran didn't want her to go her own way, so she sent someone to write to Li Wugui, but Li Wugui didn't know her until after her death. I know I have a daughter.At that time, Li Yunniang had already joined the Ningyuan Houfu and gave birth to two children.

When Shen Mo was young, Yan Jiu had been teaching him how to practice martial arts. When he was fourteen, Shen Mo followed him to roam the world, and of course joined the family of the giant.At the same time, it also means that he has also assumed the responsibility of avenging Li Wugui.Although, in his opinion, this is tantamount to hitting a stone with a pebble, but he is still young and vigorous, with a simple mind, and thinks that it is not a pity for him to die alone, and it does not matter to fulfill the righteousness.

But in the last assassination operation, he accidentally stabbed Shen Chu, and he was always anxious and blamed himself. Even after the news of his brother's recovery came later, he didn't dare to go back to see him.

He opened his mouth to say something, but was suppressed by Yan Jiu's eyes.

Yan Jiu bowed his head and said coldly, "It's because the subordinate's actions are not good, and the Sect Leader will punish him."

Murong Bai turned around, revealing a shockingly beautiful face.Although he was over forty years old, there was no trace of age on his face, but his eyes were full of vicissitudes.If Shen Chu was there, he would be able to recognize that this person was Li Qulai whom he met on the way to Yangzhou by boat.

"I can't blame you for the failure of this operation. If the emperor was so easy to kill, he would have died a thousand or eight hundred times already, and you have already lost an arm."

Although the door master's tone was very gentle, Shen Mo did not dare to take it lightly.Murong Bai, the master of the Juzi sect, has the highest and most unfathomable martial arts. He once saw him execute a traitor in the sect with a sword qi, with a smile like a spring breeze on his face. Since then, he has been in Shen Mo's heart left an indelible shadow.

Yan Jiu: "I don't know if the sect master has come here this time, but he has other plans?"

Murong Bai glanced at Yan Jiu and Shen Mo, "This deity will stay in the capital for a while, you and Shen Mo will return to the gate to preside over the overall situation, and heal your wounds along the way."

Yan Jiugong replied, "Yes."

······

After Xiumu, Shen Chu and Li Di went to Mingyue Tower to meet the eldest prince Tuge of Beihu after receiving the news from the servant.

Tuge asked for a good private room, on the table there was a roast whole lamb, a roast suckling pig, and a lot of roast beef, and the wine was placed there one jar after another.

When Shen Chu and the others arrived, Tuge was eating meat and drinking in big bowls, and Mao Tuan said in his mind, "If Zai Zai sees so much meat, he will be very happy."

Shen Chu said helplessly, "This little guy has neither food nor clothing, why is he so greedy?!"

Mao Tuan said with a look of godliness, "Then you don't know, foodie's pursuit of delicious food is endless."

"And through Ben Jiu's observation, Zai Zai's food instinct is probably inherited from you."

Shen Chu:······

Tuge is tall and strong, with beards all over his face and sharp eyes. He looks quite fierce, a bit like a Siberian bear, or a Siberian eagle flying high in the sky. He didn't get up when he saw them, and laughed loudly, " This king knew that there would definitely be guests, so he ordered a lot of barbecue and wine, but he didn't expect it to be His Royal Highness Qin Wang and Lord Shen."

"His Royal Highness King Qin's famous name makes me, Beihu Erlang, terrified. Mr. Shen is also very talented. It is my honor to invite you two to have a drink together today." Although it is not obvious.

Before coming, Shen Chu had reported to Dali Siqing Han Ji, and felt that the North Hu people could not escape the suspicion of the assassin, so it was necessary to investigate the North Hu Prince.Han Siqing handed over this task to him by the way, and repeatedly urged Tuge not to arouse Tuge's suspicion, so as not to affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and then they would cause more trouble because of their handling of the case, and they would go away.

Of course, there is actually no evidence to prove that it was the people from Beihu who did it, and they were just eliminating the suspicion. Han Siqing didn't take it too seriously, maybe it was more about sending Shen Chu away.

But Shen Chu didn't mind, because with the name of Dali Temple, it was not easy for people to guess his real purpose.

Shen Chu and Li Di sat down, cupped their hands and said, "It's better to obey orders than to invite you over there."

Tuge poured a bowl of wine in front of the two of them and himself, and raised the wine, "I wish the friendship between the people of Beihu and Yunmeng will last forever!"

Shen Chu thought in his heart that it would be a good thing for you Beihu people not to come and harass me at Yunmeng Border Pass so often that the friendship will last forever, and then the friendship will last forever.

Li Di hurriedly held it down, and said hesitantly, "Your body—"

Seeing this, Tuge showed a hint of sarcasm, "Why, you two are looking down on me, Tuge?"

Shen Chu resisted Li Di, and shook his head lightly. He has the BUFF blessed by hair balls, and being pregnant is no different from not being pregnant. Drinking alcohol will not do any harm to the baby in the stomach.

He raised his neck and drank it down in one gulp. Li Di looked worried and could only gulp it down.

Tu Ge put a bowl of wine in front of the three of them again, and respectfully said, "It's fate that the three of us can drink together again, do it!"

With the first bowl, the second bowl is very crisp.

After finishing drinking, Tuge poured a third bowl, "Cheers to my Khan and the longevity of Emperor Yunmeng!"

Shen Chu figured it out, this person just found an excuse to drink.

Fortunately, after drinking all three bowls, Tu Ge boldly said, "Cheer up!" He then called the two of them to eat meat.

When Tuge was toasting, Shen Chu exchanged the wealth value for instant hangover powder from Maotuan, and took it in the first bowl, so there would be no problem drinking more wine.But Li Di and Tu Ge are really good at drinking, and they didn't respond much after three bowls.

Tu Ge: "You two have a good drink!"

"I don't know why you two are looking for this king today?"

Shen Chu saw that Tuge's character was quite direct and forthright, so he went straight to the point, "I don't know why the eldest prince hasn't returned to Beihu? Up to now, only you and the prince of Xishan who are about to get married have not returned."

Tuge glanced at him, and said with a strange smile, "I, Tuge, am a rough man. I used to only know how to ride a horse and falcon on the grassland, but I didn't know that there are so many prosperity in the world. , it made me linger for a while."

"Why, you don't welcome me here as a guest?"

Only then did Shen Chu feel that he was straightforward, and now he just wanted to take back this sentence, but he was unwilling to be disadvantaged, "Of course not, but I thought that the eldest prince also wanted to stay in our Yunmeng and marry a princess as a son-in-law."

Tuge turned his eyes and said with a smile, "I am very willing, but it's a pity that I heard that Princess Changle has already promised someone."

"However, the eldest princess of Changle is mainly willing to regret her marriage and marry this king, and this king doesn't mind. Well, in fact, Princess Anyang and Princess Pingliang are also fine."

Shen Chu was about to be laughed out of anger, this person is really not picky.

Li Di's face was even more ugly. These were his younger sisters. Although he didn't have a good relationship with the prince, he was just passable with the other princes. Although the younger sisters were not very close to him, they didn't ignore him very much. Treat him like an older brother.As an elder brother, how could he want his sister to be disrespected by this barbarian.She couldn't help but said coldly, "My princess Yunmeng has a noble status, and the emperor regards it as a treasure. You can think about it casually."

If it is suitable for marriage, at least the etiquette is acceptable. Even if the emperor is reluctant to let his daughter marry so far away and suffer, he still has to give a formal reply.Such light words and teasing can only be regarded as the behavior of a prodigal son.

Tuge could afford to let it go, and drank a bowl of wine by himself, "If you offend His Highness King Qin, I hope you will forgive me."

Li Di also made a bowl, so he couldn't appear too shameless.

Tuge couldn't help sighing, "His Royal Highness King Qin and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really have different personalities, like us Beihu people, we love to deal with His Highness King Qin, it's refreshing!"

Sensitively grasping the information in his words, Shen Chu pretended to be puzzled, "Oh?! So the eldest prince has dealt with our Crown Prince?"

Although Tuge looked at the big and three rough, but he was not careless, he said naturally, "His Royal Highness presides over the affairs of the Ten Thousand Nations Court Meeting. He has seen us many times, so he has naturally come into contact with him."

"His Royal Highness is more like a native of the Central Plains. He looks like a scholar, and he talks in three circles. Unlike His Royal Highness King Qin, one is one, and two is two. He is straightforward and very appetizing to us Beihu people."

"Oh, no, you can't say that, His Royal Highness Qin's mother and concubine are also from Beihu."

Shen Chu was amazed in his heart, feeling that he had really underestimated the big prince of Beihu, before he could say anything, this man was just trying to beat him, but he never forgot to join them at any time.
