The two looked at each other, and the scene was very embarrassing for a while. Zhu Yu glanced at Wang Cheng, who was close at hand, anxious in his heart, and asked Bian Yan, "Then what should we do now?"

"You disappeared right in front of Yun Le. He was in a hurry. He guessed that He Lanyi was going to kill you. He couldn't come out to find you in person because of his plans for the night. That's why he asked me to come over." Bian Yan frowned. He said, "Originally, I planned to send you back to the Prince's Mansion directly after I rescued you, but if it is true as you said, He Lanyi led the troops to ambush here, and it would put us in a dilemma."

"Didn't you predict this in your plan? He Lanyi wants to be the king, and now he can't rely on literature, so he will naturally choose martial arts!" Zhu Yu said nervously, "He is very serious about me. I said, I want to kill the king in the name of Amo's rebellion, and then claim the king myself!"

"Of course I thought of this! He Lanyi looked proud at the scenery, but in fact my master had already started planning a long time ago. The reason why Yu Yuan suddenly appeared was also due to my master. My master had gone to find Yu Yuan a long time ago. Yuan, but Yu Yuannian was unwilling to directly cooperate with my master on the old relationship with He Lanyi, and did not agree to join hands with my master until not long ago, and most importantly, He Lanjue also began to doubt He Lanyi." Bian Yan Said.

"He Lanjue has doubts too? Isn't he the one who trusts He Lanyi the most?" Zhu Yu asked in a low voice, "I heard from Yun Le that He Lanyi made many of He Lanjue's decisions, including launching a war of aggression. He has done all these things, such as punishing the ministers who advised him, how could he doubt He Lanyi?"

"I'm not sure about this. I'm afraid only He Lanjue knows. Anyway, this year he followed He Lanyi on the surface, but in fact took away most of the military power in his hands and returned it to the commanding mansion. So you said He Lanjue Lan Yi deployed troops outside the city, so I couldn't figure it out, where did his soldiers come from?" Bian Yan pondered.

"But the most important thing right now is to get to the dinner party as soon as possible, right? Is there any way to sneak in?" Zhu Yu looked at the sky and felt that it might be very bad if it was delayed.

"This is a private banquet of the royal family, and no foreign ministers were invited. Originally, I could use my master's pass to enter, but you said that He Lanyi's soldiers might be ambushed outside. Now I'm not sure. You can't sneak in, if you are discovered, you might be treated as an assassin and killed on the spot." Bian Yan took out the token at his waist with a tangled expression, and said in embarrassment.

"You have a brand, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Zhu Yu pulled Bian Yan and walked towards the gate, "Try a dead horse as a living horse doctor!"

"You're really crazy, aren't you?" Bian Yan snapped back to Zhu Yu, "If the gatekeeper is really He Lanyi's man, how many heads can the two of us lose?"

"In the current situation, if you try it, there may be a glimmer of life. If you don't go, you will just sit and wait for death. I am not willing to wait for death!" Zhu Yu insisted on going forward to try, but Bian Yan had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk up.

"Who is coming?" The soldiers guarding the gate saw Bian Yan and Zhu Yu approaching, and immediately stopped them, "This is the royal city, no one is allowed to enter or leave at will!"

"Have you seen this sign?" Zhu Yu picked up the token in Bian Yan's hand, and it lit up in front of the soldier's eyes, "This is the apprentice of the great wise man, you don't know who the great wise man is, do you? You dare to stop him, don't you want to mess around?"

"The great wise man is attending the dinner in the royal city, you two can see him after the dinner is over." The soldier said unmoved.

"We have something urgent, we need to see him now!" Zhu Yu said loudly, "Get out of the way!"

The soldier looked at Zhu Yu expressionlessly, and then at Bian Yan. He was about to speak when he suddenly froze and stood motionless. Zhu Yu was wondering when he heard Bian Yan beside him say loudly, "We Just go in and talk to the wise man about something, and come out soon."

After Bian Yan finished speaking, he led Zhu Yu into the gate. The soldiers guarding the city were all surprised when they saw Bian Yan and the others entering. Bian Yan stepped forward and whispered something to a soldier, and the soldier nodded. Signaling Bian Yan to go in, the other soldiers didn't stop them either.

"What did you do? Could it be something like using a Gu technique?" Zhu Yu was startled, and asked Bian Yan in a low voice.

"The one outside was needled by me and couldn't speak or move for half an hour. The one inside happened to be someone I recognized, He Lanyi's mansion soldier. I told them that the Second Highness ordered me to come, but no one stopped We are here." Bian Yan replied, "There is indeed a problem with the soldiers guarding the city. Today they should be the guards arranged by the Commander's Mansion, but there are many soldiers from He Lanyi's mansion mixed in, but it seems that they haven't done anything else yet. action."

"I didn't expect that your undercover life in He Lanyi's mansion would still be helpful. It seems that those soldiers think that we are with He Lanyi, so let's stop He Lanyi at the dinner party as soon as possible!" Zhu Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Open your mouth and say.

***

In the main hall, He Lanjue sat on the high platform, and the beautiful concubine beside him poured wine and served him dishes, and the dancers under the stage danced together with the sound of silk and bamboo, with graceful posture and graceful figure.Wine and beauty, singing and dancing, a scene of extravagance.

Amo was dressed in fine clothes and sat on the left side. A maid beside him filled a glass of wine for him. He glanced at it silently, but didn't drink it.

"Brother, do you think today's food is not to your taste?" He Lanyi, who was sitting opposite A Mo, smiled slightly, "I don't see how my brother moves his chopsticks."

A Mo looked up at He Lanyi, reached out and tore a piece of mutton on the table, dipped it in salt, stuffed it into his mouth, frowned, and swallowed it whole, then looked up at He Lanyi and said, "I grew up in Yunning , it is indeed not suitable for the food of Haihuai country."

"Since that's the case, why don't you try the fine wine from our Haihuai country, which you can't get from Yunning country." He Lanyi pointed to the glass of wine on Amo's table, with a smile on his face that didn't fade.

That glass of wine was filled with cartilage powder. The maid beside Amo had already been bribed by He Lanyi. There was no problem with the wine in the decanter, and the glass was also fine, but the maid touched it with her fingernails when pouring the wine. On the wine surface, the medicine hidden between the nails melted into the wine. As long as Amo drank it, his limbs would immediately become limp and unable to exert any effort.

Seeing that A Mo just picked up the wine and shook it, but did not drink it, He Lanyi's eyes flashed, and he looked at He Lanjue on the high platform, "My lord, look at the banquet you specially prepared for the eldest brother tonight. But it doesn't seem to suit the elder brother's taste, it seems that the food in our Haihuai country is not as good as Yunning's."

He Lanyi's move was to use the name of He Lanjue to make Amo have to drink that glass of wine. After all, Amo is the king of the county. If He Lanjue, the lord of the country, spoke, Amo should have no reason to refuse. .

But today's He Lanjue was uncharacteristically, and didn't answer He Lanyi's words right away. He didn't speak until He Lanyi tentatively called the emperor's brother again, "Since the king doesn't like today's food, then don't Forced."

Naturally, this is not what He Lanyi likes to hear. He was a little annoyed. He Lanjue, who always obeyed his wishes, didn't follow his lead, so he said again, "My lord, since the county king has already returned to the country , then naturally we have to follow the customs of our country, we can’t keep the habits of other countries, it’s not good to spread it like this, plus the elder brother’s different pupils, people’s words are scary, brother!”

"Then third brother, what do you want?" He Lanjue's voice was a little erratic, "The king of the county is our real brother, didn't we know about this a long time ago?"

"Of course I welcome the king of the county to return to the country. I just want the king of the county to integrate into us more. I don't have any other ideas." He Lanyi sensed something was wrong, and quickly eased his tone and said, "The king of the county needs to be more gregarious." .”

"Third brother, do you really want my position?" He Lanjue said suddenly.

"What are you talking about?" He Lanyi stood up in a panic, "You are my own brother, how can I covet your position, is there a villain who provokes you in front of you, you must not Believe those lies that slander your younger brother!"

"Whether it's slander or not, only you know." Amo said, picked up the glass of wine, raised it deliberately in front of He Lanyi, then raised his head and drank it in one gulp.

Seeing that Amo had already drank the wine, He Lanyi felt a little more at ease. He turned his head and said to He Lanjue, "My lord, I don't know why the elder brother said this to me, but if you really want to say it, the county The king covets your position as the king more than I do. His purpose of coming back this time is very doubtful. You trust him so much, but he is so indifferent. I am afraid that he has made some plans long ago to seize the throne! "

"Third Brother, I have invited a guest to this dinner." He Lanjue said without answering He Lanyi's words, "You should want to see him."

Before He Lanyi could reply, the guards had already brought a person up. The person shrank, lying on the ground, not daring to raise his head. He Lanyi looked at the person suspiciously. Judging by his figure and clothes, he should not be from the Haihuai Kingdom. Talent is right.

"Let him raise his head." He Lanjue said.

The guard forcibly lifted the man's head, He Lanyi looked at it carefully, shook his head and said, "I don't know this man."

"You don't know him, but he knows you." Amo stood up, walked up to He Lanyi and said, "He has done so many things for you, and now he has come to Haihuai country to seek asylum, but you say you don't know him." People, it's really sad."

"I don't know what nonsense you are talking about." He Lanyi is not afraid of Amo who has taken the cartilage powder at this moment. He looks at the concubine next to He Lanjue and winks at her, "My lord , please be clear, I have never been abroad, how can I know this person, someone must be talking nonsense in front of you, instigating our brotherhood..."

"Zhu Wenlin! Why are you here!"

Before He Lanyi finished speaking, he was interrupted by an exclamation. He turned his head and saw Yun Le led Bian Yan and Zhu Yu directly into the hall, and the name Zhu Yu exclaimed, It was indeed very familiar, and He Lanyi always felt that she had heard it somewhere.

"Zhu Wenlin... Could it be that you are from the Zhu family of Yunning?"
