The most beloved princess in the prosperous world

Chapter 148 Who is the man behind
When everyone heard the words, they looked over and saw that the person who spoke was Yan Linglong.

Hu Yanliang said coldly, "Enemies? The princess doesn't know. This is the first time Baili Warrior has come to Nanhua. Baili Warrior has always been a warrior of my Xihu. He has never been out of Xihu, let alone Nanhua. After that, there will be no enemies."

Hu Yanliang's tone was not good, Yan Linglong remained calm, "I just made some proper guesses." After saying that, she didn't speak again.

Hu Yanliang glanced at Yan Linglong, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, princess."

Then he looked in the direction of Huangfuyu, "Nanhuanghuang, although the Baili warrior is not in danger of his life, it is unknown when he will wake up. This time, the Baili warrior is Xihu. The representative of the warriors in the alliance competition, now, something happened to someone in your Nanhua Palace, and the Baili warriors are obviously unable to participate in any competitions in this alliance, so how should I calculate the loss of my Xihu?"

Huangfu Yu said in a deep voice, "What is the fourth prince planning?"

Hu Yanliang looked at Baili Warrior, and when he looked up again, he was startled by Huangfu Yu's eyes.

The smile that had already formed on his lips froze for a moment.

Huangfu Yu was standing on a high position, looking at Hu Yanliang, and before Hu Yanliang could speak, he said, "Since something happened to the Baili warrior in my palace, I will definitely investigate the matter and give the prince an explanation. I will definitely pay for the loss caused by the coma of Baili warriors, and I am afraid that Nanhua or the other countries should not give any explanation to your country."

Confession?What can I explain?

What Xihu thought was just to take advantage of the coma of the Baili warrior to seek some benefits for Xihu, but now that all the countries are here, who can allow it?

Over there, a leisurely voice came from the envoys of Xiyue, "Could it be that the fourth prince thinks that the Baili warrior is unconscious, so the event that the Baili warrior will participate in is suspended in this alliance competition?" Or just declare Sihu the winner?"

The voice came from Xia Houyan. Xiyue and Xihu live next to each other, but the relationship between the two countries is not necessarily very good. In the borderlands, disturbances are common.

No matter what Hu Yanliang thought, as soon as these words came out, it aroused the anger of the envoys from other countries, "Could it be that the Xihu thief shouted catch the thief, and directed and acted such a scene?"

The envoys on Xihu's side heard this, and some courtiers said angrily, "It's pure slander, Baili warrior is the most respected warrior in Xihu!"

"Hmph! The murderer has been searched and found. Since he is not in the Nanhua Palace, and the Baili warriors have no enemies outside, the fourth prince might want to say that one of us secretly killed him."

Hu Yanliang said coldly, "I reminded this king, it's not impossible."

As soon as this remark came out, it naturally aroused the anger of the envoys from other countries.

Originally, at least on the surface, some peace could be maintained, but it was broken like this. However, although many envoys in the hall were angry about this, some people were still awakened.

At least, Chen Guo and Beiyan have always been very quiet, except for the words that Yan Linglong uttered at the beginning, Beiyan has never made a sound.

Seeing that the swords were already on the verge of being tense in the hall, Xu Huaiwen's voice sounded, "Fourth Prince, this alliance of nations is for the common future development, not for the purpose of provoking disputes."

"Of course this king knows, but should my Xihu warriors be killed for nothing?"

"Nanhua will definitely investigate the matter of Baili warriors, but I hope that the fourth prince will put this alliance as the most important thing." Xu Huaiwen's voice was low.

Hu Yanliang didn't know what he thought of, he looked up at Huangfu Yu who was standing on the high position, and said, "I am not an unreasonable person. I am also worried that the Baili warriors have been wronged so much. The king can give your country time to find out the matter."

Xu Huaiwen then said, "Of course, please rest assured, Fourth Prince."

*
A palace banquet that was supposed to be harmonious at first did not end happily, because what happened to the Baili warriors took some time, and by the time the palace banquet was over and they left the palace, the sky had already darkened.

The Xihu warrior was unconscious and had no fear of his life. Therefore, he was sent back to the post in the Xihu country, and the envoys from various countries also returned to their post.

At first glance, today's incident looks like an accident, but because it is impossible to find out who actually attacked the Xihu warriors, it will not make people feel that it is just an accident on the surface. up.

After leaving the Nanhua Palace, Yu Wuhen frowned, "Fourth brother, Changqing, I always feel that what happened in the palace today is very strange."

Yu Wujue glanced at him unsurprisingly when he heard that, Ruan Fu smiled and said, "Oh? What's so strange about Twelve?"

Because of his temperament, Yu Wuhen has always been reluctant to pay attention to the open and secret fights in the court. Although he can't see it when he sees it on weekdays, he seldom pays attention to it.

"The Xihu warriors have confirmed that they were poisoned by the single-phase ions in the food. The food passed through Nanhua's imperial dining room. It is very strange that the murderer cannot be found out. It is just a matter of who touched the food and who has been in contact with it. Can people still Can it disappear? What's more, it's so confusing and confusing with no clues. I think Hu Yanliang has the tendency to make a big fuss when the incident started, and it ended hastily in the end..." Yu Wuhen thought about this day Frowning, "What's especially incomprehensible is that killing a Xihu warrior without using the medicine that sees blood to seal his throat just gives him an obvious chance of being rescued. Single-minded people are common. The antidote is also easy to get, who can be so idle and panic when it makes people fall asleep without life or death?"

After hearing this, Yu Wujue cast a sidelong glance at Yu Wuhen, "It's a bit improved."

Yu Wuhen choked, it was obviously the fourth brother's words of praise for him, why did he find it unpleasant when he heard it, he might as well not say it!

Seeing this, Yu Wufan smiled maliciously, patted Yu Wuhen on the shoulder, and said, "That's the interesting part of the matter."

Ruan Fu shook his head slightly, had already sat down with Yu Wujue, looked at the few people who were still standing in the flower hall because of today's incident, and said with a smile, "You are all in the hall today, what can you see? "

When Ruan Fu asked this, several people present looked at each other, and Lin Mo said, "Could it be that there is really something hidden in today's incident?"

Ruan Fu smiled and said nothing.

Yu Wufan frowned and asked tentatively, "Xihu and Nanhua?"

Li Xiudao, "There is no clue to whoever attacked the Xihu warriors. The Xihu warriors are unconscious. If the matter is restored to the simplest state, no one has any hatred against the Xihu warriors. Today's murder seems to have no head and no tail." , all the other party wants is a result... For example, the rift between Nanhua and Xihu is not pleasant."

Ruan Fu nodded, with a look of approval in his eyes.

Lin Mo and Li Xiu are both this year's Jinshi Jinshi, but there is already a slight difference in their political abilities. Lin Mo's political theory is good, and he is more practical, while Li Xiu is better at analyzing practical things .

Hearing this, Yu Wujue finally said, "Nanhua has always wanted to win Xihu and Nanliang together."

"But after today's incident, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to explain between Xihu and Nanhua." Yu Wufan said, "In this way, it shouldn't be the Emperor Nanhua who strikes?"

Ruan Fudao, "Huangfu Yu prefers to act secretly. If he does something that is obviously not good for him, if he does it, he will not choose this time. Perhaps, he will threaten and lure Xihu behind his back."

"Could it be an envoy from another country?"

"Who knows." Ruan Fu said softly, "Whoever benefits, it seems that everyone benefits, but if this alliance of various countries is not happy, no one wants the entire Central Plains to be in turmoil right now. stand up."

In this way, behind this incident, it is by no means so simple.

There was silence in the flower hall for a long time before a cool voice reappeared, "Perhaps, the other party just wants to make this alliance of nations more lively."

Everyone looked up at Ruan Fu, with a strange look in their eyes, but Ruan Fu's eyes were full of deep thought, and he stopped talking.

In the next two days, the warriors of Xihu still did not wake up, but a group of imperial doctors came to the post every day, but when they finally left, their faces were a little dignified.

On Hu Yanliang's side, there was not much commotion on the bright side, but when he entered and exited the post house, almost everyone saw the gloomy expression on his face.

Tomorrow is the time for the hunting ground competition, and the national alliance will really kick off. It was just noon on this day. Ruan Fu was sitting in her room, reading the file just handed to her, but heard the sound coming from outside. Hasty footsteps.

She raised her head and looked out, Yu Wuhen was walking quickly, and did not stop when she reached the door of her room.

Ruan Fu put down the file in his hand and said with a smile, "What's wrong with Twelve, it's in such a hurry."

Yu Wuhen frowned and said, "Changqing, something happened."

Ruan Fu paused slightly, "What's wrong?"

"The envoy of Nanliang was poisoned, and he is still a single-phase son." Yu Wuhen said.

Ruan Fu was taken aback, "Poisoned? A single-minded child?"

Yu Wuhen nodded, sat down opposite Ruan Fu, frowned and said, "I don't know what's going on, it's been spread all over the post house now. Because tomorrow is the start of the alliance competition, Nanliang side The feast of the monarch and his ministers was originally a lively banquet, but when the meal was only half used, many times they fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, and hesitated, which was exactly the same as the symptoms of the Xihu warriors in the main hall that day. Same."

After hearing this, Ruan Fu frowned and remained silent, before asking, "Is Prince Nanliang alright?"

"The Prince of Nanliang is alive and well. It is their ministers who have the accident. Nearly half of the envoys of Nanliang have had accidents. Naturally, Nanliang will not let it go. It just so happened that the imperial doctor came to treat the Xihu warriors, so there was no Nanliang. Liang’s envoys were all buried in Nanhua, but one of them was an elderly minister with serious symptoms, whether he can return to Nanliang alive is still a question.”

"What is Nanhua doing?"

"Prime Minister Xu Huaiwen is here. The Crown Prince of Nanliang has already entered the palace to meet the Emperor Nanhua. All the post houses have been sealed off, and they are still investigating who poisoned them. The entire post house is only allowed to enter and not to leave. The envoys are making a fuss because of this, and now it's a big fuss."

Ruan Fu frowned deeply, and murmured, "Another single-minded person."

As Ruan Fu was talking, he heard that the front of the Chen Guo Post House was already bustling.

"Unless you can come up with enough evidence to prove that the accident in Nanliang is related to our country Chen, otherwise, Master Xu, please go back."

Xu Yuan'an smiled and said, "Master Lin, the incident happened in the posthouse, and the murderer was not found. I am just conducting a routine search."

"Routine search? In just two days, this is already the second case of Shi Chen's accident. If this continues, who knows who will happen to the next incident, but your country has made no progress at all. On the contrary, Doubt us, is this the way of welcoming guests in your country?" Lin Mo said.

Xu Yuanzhao's eyes were deep, and his tone became a lot colder, "This is the step of investigating the case, I hope Mr. Lin will understand."

"Forgiveness, Mr. Xu told us envoys to be considerate of you, who will be considerate for us?" Yu Wuhen's voice came from inside, and when the voice fell, she and Ruan Fu had already appeared in the front yard, and there was only one person in the front yard. Here, with Xu Yuanan as the leader, followed by a group of teams, as if they were going to search the post house.

Seeing Ruan Fu and Yu Wuhen, Xu Yuanan cupped his fists and said, "Twelve princes, Ruan Tongzhi."

Yu Wuhen snorted coldly, and Xu Yuan'an said to Ruan Fu, "An accident happened in the posthouse. I was ordered to investigate, and I hope that Ruan Tongzhi will allow me to go in and search the posthouse. If there is any suspicious person, I will take it away. If not , everyone is happy."

Hearing this, Ruan Fu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Everyone is happy, Mr. Xu, did I hear you right?"

Xu Yuanan was taken aback, "If not, everyone will be happy..."

Ruan Fu smiled, "In the posthouse of Kingdom Chen, there are either envoys from Kingdom Chen, or the servants of your country who are placed in the posthouse to deal with daily life. Master Xu's words are intended to Said that the people of Chen Kingdom intend to kill the envoys of Nanliang in Nanhua and stir up disputes in the Central Plains?"

"This..." Xu Yuan paused and said, "I just want to search."

A sneer rose from the corner of Ruan Fu's lips, "It seems that Mr. Xu has indeed confirmed that the envoys of various countries killed each other."

"Ruan Tongzhi speaks carefully, this is not what I say."

"If that's not the case, is it because you, Nanhua, put people with bad intentions into the post house?"

"The people in the post house who are used to take care of the envoys from various countries are the young and white people carefully selected by our court!" Xu Yuanan said in a deep voice, the placement of people in the post house is extremely important. Said that Nanhua was disrespectful to the envoys of various countries?
"Yes, what happened today?"

Xu Yuan'an's face darkened, he felt that Ruan Fu had disturbed him, he took a deep breath, and said, "We just want to check whether there are criminals in the post house, not to suspect the envoys of various countries."

"Things have happened for so long, if there were really criminals, who would wait until the incident happened until people from your country showed up to investigate, isn't Master Xu just joking?" Ruan Fu laughed, his voice slightly cold.

Xu Yuan'an seemed to be forbearing. Of course he understood that if the envoys of various countries really wanted to do something, there would be nothing left in the post that could be investigated by Nanhua, and he took the opportunity to search the post. The museum was just secretly ordered by Huangfu Yu to investigate various countries, especially Chen Kingdom and Beiyan.

Seeing this, Ruan Fu said no more, but the envoys of the entire Kingdom of Chen seemed to disagree with Nanhua's search of the posthouse.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan'an also knew that today's matter would definitely not be able to be done, and if it was too hard, it would not be a good thing, so he had to bow his hands and say, "I didn't think carefully, thank you Ruan Tongzhi for pointing it out."

Ruan Fu nodded lightly, the coldness in his eyes remained undiminished.

Xu Yuan'an turned around and led the people away. Since the country of Chen had hit a wall, there was no need to search the rest of the inn. However, although the search was stopped, the people outside the inn did not evacuate, saying that it was to protect The envoys of various countries, however, seemed to put people under house arrest.

After Xu Yuanan left, everyone looked at Ruan Fu.

Ruan Fu said, "First Xihu, then Nanliang, I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the countries that Nanhua wants to ally with are the ones who attacked."

"Ruan Tongzhi, is this matter related to Beiyan?"

Ruan Fu shook his head, "Although it's suspicious, I'm afraid it doesn't have much to do with it. Neither Yan Jing nor Yan Linglong are good people. If it's related to Bei Yan, I'm afraid it's not just such a small incident. gone."

Everyone sighed, and some courtiers gradually felt uneasy.

Ruan Fu probably understood their psychology, so he said, "Let our people be more careful."

Lin Mo and Li Xiu Zheng nodded, "Ruan Tongzhi don't worry."

Ruan Fu frowned slightly. Whether it was the matter of the last palace banquet or the matter of the posthouse this time, the people who did it were not simple people. At least, there is one thing that is very strange, that is, no matter the other party Which way to attack, but will never use the identity of someone in the post house or palace, otherwise, if the other party is confused, whoever borrows the identity to do things will always leave some traces, and the other party does not have any, but they can He was attacked by envoys who were well guarded in the dark, so he was able to be ignorant and unaware, and there was nothing to investigate, but there was such a big commotion, lest the world would not know...

Who could it be, Nan Hua, who has such abilities?
Or is it really related to the envoys of various countries?
She is thinking here.

Over there, there is a courtier who is still uncertain, "Oh, I don't know how long this single-minded son will continue to harm others!"

The one who spoke was an older scholar from the court, and Lin Mo heard the words, "Last night, the students studied at night and learned a little about this single-mindedness. Single-mindedness is a medicine extracted from acacia beans. It is poisonous. It is somewhat different from Acacia, but it is much easier to obtain than Acacia, so folks often use it to avoid the plague, and it is quite effective. The other party chooses such an easy-to-obtain medicine that can even be refined by oneself, which is indeed difficult to find .”

"It is said that Yangshan in the east of Huadu has spontaneously grown a large area of ​​acacia beans. If someone wants to take advantage of it, it is obviously very easy." After a pause, Lin Mo added.

Ruan Fu was thinking to himself, but when he heard this, he looked up at Lin Mo with a strange look in his eyes, but everyone was thinking, and no one noticed her expression.
