After losing the vest at the beginning, the female general was forced to marry the scheming prince

Chapter 47 Why is it him? (plus one more)

Three days later, the emperor held a family banquet in honor of King Jing and King Huai in Shengping Hall.

This time there were no ministers present, but many people came to the harem, including concubines of the third rank and above.And the three eldest princesses who were married in Yudu also came.

Although Qu Chu hadn't married Ning Youbei yet, she was already the queen concubine of Chu, so the emperor specially ordered her to participate.

Qu Chu is still dressed in men's clothes, if it is not with Ning Youbei, the concubines in the harem might not recognize her.

Hai Lizhu also attended the banquet.

When she saw Qu Chu come in, she naturally went up to greet her.

Qu Chu nodded to her, and saw that her face was ruddy, and there was no trace of depression between her brows, so she knew that she was doing well.

Besides Hai Lizhu, there was also Rufei who took the initiative to greet Qu Chu.

Concubine Ru is in her 30s, with a gentle face and a gentle voice.

"I've heard about the general's name for a long time, but I haven't been able to see him in person. Now I finally see him. It's really a woman who doesn't give in to a man."

With a gentle tone and a sincere smile, it is difficult for people to feel bad for him.

Qu Chu's face was a little softer, and he tried to make his voice not so cold: "Your Majesty, I'm so proud of you."

After Rufei and Qu Chulue said a few words, they stopped disturbing her and returned to her place.

Except for Hai Lizhu and Concubine Ru, the other concubines did not come forward to greet Qu Chu, and Qu Chu felt relaxed.

However, everyone was curious about Qu Chu, and they glanced at her from time to time.

Qu Chu looked unmoved, and after sitting down with Ning Youbei, he drank by himself.

"Drink less".

Ning Youbei handed over a plate of dried fruit, "If you're bored, eat some dried fruit."

Qu Chu looked at the dried fruit with disgust, but still listened to Ning Youbei's words, and peeled the pine nuts boredly.

Qu Chu found that this is really a good way to kill time.She peeled it wholeheartedly, and after a while, she peeled off a small dish.

Qu Chu pushed the peeled pine nuts towards Ning Youbei, and continued to peel the second dish.

The two acted as if no one was around, but they didn't know how many eyes were looking at them, and how many people were thinking in their hearts.

……

When Qu Chu peeled the third plate of pine nuts, the servant sang loudly: "The emperor has arrived, King Jing has arrived, and King Huai has arrived."

Qu Chu stood up.

When she saw a 37-year-old man, Qu Chu was stunned.

How is he?

The man Qu Chu saw was the one who had been poisoned by blood vine flowers in the cave and raped her.

When Qu Chu took off the mask of that man, it was the man who appeared in front of him.

That is King Jing!
The man was wearing a black gold mask before. Qu Chu had inquired that only the leader of the Dark Night League wore a black gold mask, so Qu Chu had always suspected that the man was the leader of the Dark Night League.

But now it is confirmed that the man was King Jing, so is King Jing the leader of the Dark Night Alliance?
The Dark Night League mainly focuses on espionage and assassination. If King Jing is the leader of the Dark Night League, it would be a bit scary!
Qu Chu's stupefaction did not hide from Ning Youbei who was beside him, he asked softly: "What's the matter?"

Qu Chu looked away from King Jing and looked at King Huai, "It's nothing."

……

Duke Huai is a lively young man, he happily walked over to Ning Youbei when he saw Ning Youbei, "Youbei".

Ning Youbei also showed him a sincere smile.

"Is this General Qu?"

Qu Chu nodded at him.

"I have long heard that General Qu is a heroic warrior, but now I see him. How does this make us men look good?"

This is saying...

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Duke Huai returned to his seat.

Ning Youbei explained in a low voice beside him:
"Duke Huai's biological mother was born as a palace maid. After he was born, his biological mother was granted the seventh-rank treasure forest, so he has been cautious since he was a child. However, he is not a bad person."

Qu Chu said little by little that he understood.

Ning Youbei's words sound nice, but Qu Chu's understanding is: Prince Huai is a good old man!
……

After sitting down again, Qu Chu was still thinking.

Although the Dark Night Alliance has existed for a long time, it only emerged more than 20 years ago.If it really rose under the control of King Jing, wouldn't it mean that King Jing has been making arrangements since he was a teenager?
So how deep is the city of King Jing?How big is it?

If he really has this ability, how could he be defeated in the reserve position battle?

There are many things that don't make sense!
Was he the same person back then?
Qu Chu looked up at King Jing again.

King Jing looks ordinary, but exudes a sense of dignity all over his body.But this aura of nobility comes from the fact that he grew up pampered, which is completely different from the Assassin League's aura.

Unlike herself, after staying on the battlefield for a long time, she couldn't hide the murderous aura in her body.

When Qu Chu looked over, he met King Jing who also looked at her, King Jing smiled at Qu Chu.

Qu Chu turned his gaze expressionlessly.

Seeing Qu Chu look at King Jing again, Ning Youbei thought deeply.

……

On the way back, Qu Chu said to Ning Youbei:
"When we went to the west, those who assassinated us were members of the Night Alliance. How much do you know about the Night Alliance?"

Ning Youbei shook his head.

"When I was training in Jianghu, I heard about the Dark Night League. I only knew that it was an organization mainly for espionage and assassination, but I didn't know anything about it.

Why did you suddenly ask about the Night Alliance? "

"It's nothing."

Qu Chu was just guessing, not sure that King Jing is the leader of the Dark Night League, so it is not good to talk too much with Ning Youbei now.

Qu Chu has a way to prove whether that person was King Jing?But even if it is confirmed, it cannot be confirmed that King Jing is the leader of the Dark Night League.

"You suspected that the 2000 soldiers who raided that night were private soldiers of the local vassal. Do you have any clues?"

Seeing that Qu Chu changed the subject, Ning Youbei didn't chase after her to ask questions.

"It's really a headache to say. I have a few suspects, but I can't be sure who they are. For example, King Jing, or my cousins."

Seeing that Ning Youbei mentioned King Jing calmly, Qu Chu thought: He doesn't shy away from himself.

"You never doubted Duke Huai?"

"Duke Huai is unlikely at the moment, because it won't benefit him at all. He is too weak, even if something happens to me and Brother Huang, it won't be his turn."

This is too true!

……

That night, Qu Chu wrote a secret letter and asked "Grey Lightning" to send it to Su Yingxue overnight.

……

On the same night, Duke of Wei

Although it is July, the night is still dark.

A man wearing a hooded black cloak quietly entered Duke Wei's mansion through the side door.

His whole body was shrouded in a black cloak, and his face and age could not be seen clearly.

Under the guidance of the steward of the Duke of Wei's mansion, this person entered the study of the Duke of Wei, and the Duke of Wei was waiting inside.

The two chatted for about half an hour, and this person left the Duke of Wei's mansion quietly again.

After this person left, Duke Wei sat quietly in the study for another time.
