BXBX NOVEL Chapter 172: pawn
The man turned his head when he heard the sound, it was Mr. Wu.
Feng Shuo and Mi Yue also followed in. Mi Yue blinked at her indiscriminately.
The guards outside have been transferred.
Shen Mingjiao secretly raised her eyebrows. Obviously, the other party came here quietly.
She said with a sullen face and cold voice: "Are you the master of this island?"
Mr. Wu smiled slightly, neither denying nor admitting directly.
Shen Mingjiao seems to have completely lost her patience. "Tell me, why did you spend so much time trying to catch me?"
Mr. Wu still had a smile on his face, and raised his hand to make a cup of tea for Shen Mingjiao.
"Young man, don't be so anxious!"
Shen Mingjiao didn't answer, but just stared at him coldly, with condescending disdain in those eyes.
With such familiar eyes, Mr. Wu felt humiliated and annoyed.
Immediately, he didn't want to be polite anymore, so he cut straight to the point:
"I don't know if I should call you Young Master Su? Or Prince Qi Chen?"
During the period of the first emperor, the princes fought fiercely, among them King Wu jumped the most. It was not until several years after Jing and Emperor ascended the throne that King Wu's party was completely wiped out. missing.
It caused speculation among the court and the people for a long time. Some people said that the prince of Wu Wang hid and planned to make a comeback in the future, and some people said that it was the grasshopper after autumn.
However, the fact is that Prince Wu's son died a long time ago, but his death was disgraceful.
Shen Mingjiao's expression changed immediately, and then she suddenly looked at Mi Yue.
Mi Yue turned her face away guiltily.
Mr. Wu appreciated the sudden panic in her eyes with satisfaction.
He was lucky enough to have a glimpse of Prince Wu from a distance. At that time, the other party was only a child in his early ten years old. Although his appearance was a little blurred after a long time, Shen Mingjiao's involuntary nobleness could not deceive anyone. In addition, the other party is now With this reaction, he no longer had any doubts.
Immediately, he calmly comforted him and said with a smile:
"Your Majesty, don't be nervous. To tell the truth, this old man almost became His Highness King Wu's staff. Over the years, the most regrettable thing about this old man is that he didn't follow His Highness Wu..."
Shen Mingjiao tried her best to calm down, and finally managed to calm down, interrupting him impatiently:
"After making such a big detour, you just want me to help you deal with those women on Peach Blossom Island!"
Mr. Wu was not annoyed at all when he was interrupted.
"Yes, as long as you help to complete this matter, I promise to send you back to the Great Xia Kingdom."
Shen Mingjiao's heart twitched, her eyes lit up with joy, but there was a suspicious sneer on her face:
"Heh! It's not that you don't know how powerful those people are on Peach Blossom Island. Do you think I'm still alive if I really did something?"
"A man can bend and stretch, but those women have nothing but brute force,"
After finishing speaking, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his bosom, still smiling, but the words he said were cruel and vicious: "This is a poison that seals the throat when it sees blood, when the time comes, you can quietly pour it into their cooking water In the tank, try to find a way to gather all the women on the island together. Just come and catch them all!
I know you must hate them too, this is also a revenge for you! "
Miyue on the side clenched her fists in anger when she heard "see blood and seal her throat", until she heard something behind her.
She couldn't bear it anymore, she just slapped the table and stood up, living in Peach Blossom Island since she was a child, she can do whatever she wants quickly, and never knew what forbearance is:
"Fuck you—"
Because of too much force, the solid wood table fell apart.
Shen Mingjiao helped her forehead, but she didn't stop her. Anyway, sooner or later she would have to do it.
Mr. Wu was stunned by this scene, but he reacted fairly quickly. Looking at the shattered table, he instantly realized the identity of the other party.
He was startled and opened his mouth to scream.
Feng Shuo took out a marble from his pocket, threw it casually, and threw it into the opponent's open mouth impartially.
Mr. Wu only felt a numbness at the base of his tongue, and before he could react, his hands were violently twisted.
He struggled desperately, he felt that his kung fu was not bad, otherwise he would not have been wanted by the court and still be alive after all these years.
But his strength is simply not enough in front of Mi Yue.
Shen Mingjiao stepped forward, condescendingly looking at his frightened and resentful face. Then gather your mind and stare closely at each other's eyes.
Fortunately, although this person is determined, he is not too difficult to hypnotize. If there was another Cheng Geer, she would vomit to death.
Mr. Wu's eyes gradually became dizzy, Shen Mingjiao pondered where he should start asking,
After thinking about it, she still asked the question she cared about the most: "Do you know the way back to Daxia?"
Mr. Wu nodded and then shook his head,
Shen Mingjiao frowned and looked at him: "Is there anything to say, what do you mean by nodding and shaking your head?"
Mr. Wu replied blankly: "I know the approximate location, but I haven't walked by it, but I should be able to find it based on my feeling."
Shen Mingjiao wanted to pour herself a cup of tea, but she glanced at the torn apart table, she looked away embarrassingly,
Coughed lightly, and asked: "Then. Another question, where did you meet Ryan and his party?"
"Goryeo."
Shen Mingjiao thought about it carefully, Koryo seems to be in the northeast of Daxia Kingdom.
"What was your status in Daxia before? How did you come to go so far away from Korea?"
Mentioning this, Mr. Wu's stiff face twitched, obviously this matter had a deep emotional impact on him.
"I am an officer in charge of sending letters to the Northwest Army. Five years ago, the post station received a letter from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to King Su. It happened that I was on duty that day. At that time, the imperial court was at war with Beidi. I didn't dare to delay. I took the horse and planned to Going to the barracks, but was stopped on the way."
Shen Mingjiao held her breath subconsciously. Five years ago, that was the former prince.
The letter from the first prince to Feng Lisheng! This sensitive and coincidental time!
Mr. Wu continued to speak mechanically: "The person who stopped me was a servant. He took out a letter and asked me to replace the prince's letter. Naturally, I didn't want to. The man said it was an order from a nobleman, and he showed a corner of the imperial decree. They said that as long as I can accomplish this, I will be promoted to the capital in the future, in order to have a better future in the future, I agreed without much hesitation."
"It didn't take long for the news of the assassination of the prince to spread, and I was flustered. But I thought that this was the order of the Holy One, so I calmed down again, secretly looking forward to the promotion in the future, but who knows..."
Speaking of this, even though his eyes were still dull, his tone became excited:
"Unexpectedly, what I waited for was to kill people. While escaping, I was lucky enough to fall into a hidden cave and escape. In order to avoid being hunted down again, I fled to Korea with a merchant ship."
Shen Mingjiao frowned when she heard it: "How can you be sure that the servant is His Majesty's person? Just relying on a piece of imperial decree that hasn't seen the whole picture?"
Mr. Wu insisted: "Who else is it not His Majesty? After the prince's accident, there are rumors in private, saying that His Majesty is afraid of the prince's popularity, and has long wanted to abolish the prince."
Shen Mingjiao subconsciously looked at Feng Shuo.
But the little guy was still expressionless, but his ears were quietly pricked up.
She retracted her gaze. Like Feng Lisheng, she felt that it was impossible for Jing and Di to harm the first prince.
She glanced at Mr. Wu with dull eyes, and couldn't help but sneer,
It is impossible for this person to have doubts in his heart, but he just thinks so unconsciously for his own future.
Now is not the time to think about these things, she asked Mr. Wu: "Do you remember the appearance of that servant?"
Mr. Wu nodded: "Medium build, square face, slightly curved eyes...There is a mole on the inside of the right arm."
Shen Mingjiao tried to outline a vague figure in her mind according to his description, but unfortunately there is no pen and paper here, otherwise she could draw it, and hand it over to Feng Lisheng for investigation when she goes out.
She revealed the matter, and said instead: "The story about the treasure is false!"
She used an affirmative tone.
Mr. Wu nodded: "Yes, there is no treasure at all. Everything was arranged by me. I just wanted to get some property, but Ryan is so easy to fool, so I wanted more. Ryan has ambitions in vain no brains..."
Shen Mingjiao was impatient to hear him indulge himself here: "Just tell me your purpose."
"Ryan has weapons in his hand. He wants to create his own kingdom. I let him attack Qingzhou. With those weapons, it will not be a problem to win Qingzhou. When that happens, I will unite with my men to take the opportunity to kill He. I will be able to inherit everything from him logically.
Now that Prince Wu's son is in my hands, as long as this news is released, those who supported our king back then will definitely come and join him..."
Shen Mingjiao looked at him indescribably, she just wanted to say, this pattern, this vision, there is no one else!
Even Mi Yue, who had never seen the outside world, felt that his words were too unreliable.
Shen Mingjiao asked the last question: "Where are those weapons hidden?"
"In Ryan's close-fitting tent, hidden under his bed, there are more than a dozen boxes."
Shen Mingjiao nodded, stared into his eyes again, and said word by word:
"Today's business talks went very smoothly, Prince Wu agreed to all your conditions, and you are in a particularly good mood."
Not long after, the other party's eyes gradually became clear, and he walked towards the door without looking back, with a happy look on his face.
Shen Mingjiao rubbed her slightly tired forehead. The two people on the opposite side were not too surprised that he had such a strange ability.
Miyue has never been exposed to the outside world, so she thought it was a skill of some people outside.
Although Feng Shuo was a little surprised, he was indifferent, and accepted it calmly after the surprise.
Mr. Wu walked out of the tent in a happy mood, but he didn't know that his behavior that he thought he was hiding was being watched all the time.
In the tent where Ryan was, after listening to the report of the stalker, Ryan didn't raise his head, as if these things had been expected by him.
"Let him go, he's just a useful pawn!"
…
Ryan officially met with Shen Mingjiao and the others the next day. In order to cooperate with the performance of both parties, Shen Mingjiao's complexion was obviously much better than the previous two days.
After taking his seat, he subconsciously glanced at Mr. Wu.
Ryan, who was sitting at the top, didn't seem to see anything.
Lian also gave her a bottle of poison in the end, the only difference was that he promised to reward her with two boxes of gold and silver when she was done, and make her the prince of the island in the future.
Shen Mingjiao glanced at Mr. Wu again, then stepped forward to take the porcelain bottle,
Say some flattering words such as that you will never disappoint the king.
Lian was obviously satisfied with her attitude, and asked her when to leave, according to what was just discussed. She pretended to escape back to Peach Blossom Island through untold hardships, and then looked for an opportunity to poison.
When things are done, they can occupy Peach Blossom Island without a single soldier.
Shen Mingjiao said straightforwardly that she would leave in the evening, but she mentioned that she was inconvenient and asked to send someone to give her a ride.
Lian glanced at her pale face, and readily agreed.
But glanced at Mi Yue and Feng Shuo who were following behind,
"Your wife and children don't have to follow, stay on the island and wait for you to come back."
This means taking hostages.
Shen Mingjiao agreed without hesitation, as if she didn't care about the lives of the two of them.
With Miyue here, Shuo'er doesn't have to worry about her safety at all, and it doesn't take much time to go back and forth.
At this time, there was still half a day before night, Shen Mingjiao had nothing to do, so she wandered back and forth on the island. Unlike the gloomy face of the previous two days, she seemed to be in a good mood today. Her handsome face was warm and smiling, which made people feel happy again and again. Good impression.
There was some commotion in front, so I walked in looking for the sound, and saw another few blond men fighting with a group of Western Regions.
Shen Mingjiao withdrew her gaze, and turned around as if nothing had happened. She walked to a coast where more than a dozen magnificent ships were docked.
There are still damp on the bottom of several boats, obviously they have just been used. The boats all looked new, except for a medium-sized boat parked in a corner.
The boat looked magnificent, but it was obviously a bit old. You can still smell the rotting vegetables faintly from above.
She curiously asked the two strong men following her, "Why do you keep such a broken boat?"
The two blond and blue-eyed strong men couldn't understand what she was saying, but they could probably guess it. One of them said something casually.
Shen Mingjiao naturally didn't understand, so she glanced at Feng Shuo who was following beside her.
Before leaving, Shen Mingjiao seemed to be planning for the future, so she purposely made friends with many people on the island. Of course, she only looked for people who could understand Chinese, otherwise she wouldn't be able to communicate.
When it was getting dark, Shen Mingjiao got into a small boat, Feng Shuo stood on the bank looking at her with tears in his face, but Shen Mingjiao didn't turn his head back, he just said something stiffly:
"Be obedient, don't run around, I'll come back to find you right away."
Feng Shuo bit his lip and nodded heavily, looking pitiful and helpless.
Same as when she came here, it was still Kichirei Yamamoto who sent her back this time.
Kirei Yamamoto smiled at her: "Young Master Su, we meet again,"
Shen Mingjiao also responded to him with a smile and said with a vague meaning: "You're welcome, there must be a beginning and an end!"
Kirei Yamamoto didn't pay much attention to her words, he slid the oar skillfully,
The two of them had nothing to say all the way, when they arrived at Peach Blossom Island, thinking of Feng Shuo's exquisite and beautiful face, Yamamoto Kichiri said tentatively:
"I see Mr. Su really doesn't want to see your son, but I have always regretted not having a child. If Mr. Su doesn't mind, let the child play with me for a few days?"
Shen Mingjiao turned around abruptly, looked at him with fixed eyes, and smiled coldly with her red lips:
"Your heart is too dirty, I have to wash it for you."
Kichirei Yamamoto was startled, with a bad premonition in his heart, he subconsciously reached out and touched his waist. However, he hadn't waited for his next move.
He suddenly became dizzy, and his eyes became empty and dull.
Shen Mingjiao sat quietly in the small cabin,
The boat didn't go any further, but turned around and went back the same way.
Not long after, the sky completely darkened, and the boat finally stopped on an uninhabited coast.
Kirei Yamamoto led Shen Mingjiao around, and finally came to the tent where she lived before.
