Chapter 637： behind the scenes

Chapter 637 Behind the scenes

In the fortification hall of the mine, Qin Huai and Ayu sat next to each other, with Chijia and Chigou standing behind them respectively. Opposite them was the eldest prince Qin Qin who was half lying on the bed.

The two sides have been silent for a long time, and they don't know how to speak.

It was Wang Sanlang who found some fresh fruits outside, put them on a plate, added a few cups of freshly brewed tea, and brought them in.

"If you don't like it, I'll send someone to look for it." After Wang Sanlang greeted them, he said to Ayu, "Just now I saw a lot of berries growing on the hillside over there, when we save everyone It's almost there, I'll pick it up for you."

Ayu said: "Third brother, you don't have to worry about me."

Wang Sanlang waved his hand: "When we were going out, your sister-in-law specifically told me that you followed me to Wanning City to work hard, and when we arrived, I must take good care of you. Otherwise, I will not be able to explain it when I go back."

He spoke very smoothly, as if he forgot that he and Wei Qianying were only engaged, not officially married yet.

Ayu heard that it was Wei Qianying's intention, and she still wanted to show some face to this unmarried sister-in-law, so she had to say: "It doesn't need to be a lot, just a little. I grow up, and I don't like to eat those children's food."

Everyone looked at her again.

Then it became clear that Ayu had reached the age where he would emphasize that he was an adult.

After this interruption, the awkward room was finally not so suffocating.

It was the eldest prince who spoke first, and first looked at Qin Huai: "I heard before that this year's Jie Yuan is a young and promising young man. I didn't believe it before, but now I know it after seeing you. You can see it at a glance." Take Jie Yuan's material."

As he was talking, the Eldest Prince smiled again: "Speaking of which, the Empress Mother is your cousin, and I think you are somewhat similar to the Empress Mother."

Qin Huai and Queen Qin don't look much alike, but if they stand together and carefully ask other people to find similarities, they can still find some similarities.

Among them, the most similar thing is the expressionless eyes of the two of them, which seems to be carved out of the same mold, with a sense of solemnity that makes people unapproachable.

"Yeah, yeah, I think so too, brother Ayou and the queen's cousin are very similar!" Ayu saw that Qin Huai was unwilling to answer this topic, so she had to break the embarrassment so that the eldest prince would not feel jealous, "Your eldest prince, do you live?" People in the inner palace, then you must have seen the queen’s cousin, we haven’t been to the palace again, and we don’t know how the queen’s cousin is doing now, how is her recovery?”

Hearing Ayu's name, the first prince was stunned for a while, and then realized that this little girl should be Qin Huai's little fiancée who was on the cusp of his heart.

Ayu's name is still a bit famous in the circle of nobles in Wanning City. There is no other reason, because this little girl is very capable. After hearing about it, many masters shouted that beauty is a disaster.

What's more, is there any young lady who still shows her face after getting engaged? Shouldn't she stay in her boudoir, learn poetry and book etiquette, learn how to be a good mistress from her mother, and then wait to be married by her husband's family?

But this little girl is fine, maybe because the people from the countryside don't understand these rules, she really took away the most promising boy from the masters.

However, many people who are the same age as Qin Huai, or who are only three or four years older, are very tired of him. When they think of the fiancées they are engaged to, or those girls in the city, none of them can match the rumored Qin Huai's younger fiancées. compared to.

It’s not about poetry etiquette or family background and appearance, but about this kind of courage, which even men feel ashamed of.

The eldest prince is also one of them.

Of course, the reason why Ayu is most famous is because of some crazy things Qin Huai has done over the years.

The most exciting thing among them is that there is a rich man who talks loudly outside, talking about Qin Huai in an extremely insulting tone, and talking about Ayu in obscene terms.

On the second day, everyone discovered that the rich man had been stripped of his clothes and hung at the gate of the city.

That’s not enough, his mouth was strung together with a thick wire, and his ears were cut off. His whole body was trembling with fright, and before he even had time to feel ashamed, he fainted from fright.

Afterwards, everyone guessed that this matter must have been done by Qin Huai, because he went directly to the door of the young master and said to him, "If there is a next time, I will make you deaf and speechless."

The family immediately reported to the government, but no matter how much Shuntian Mansion searched, they couldn't find any relationship with Qin Huai, but their family had accidents one after another, so they had to leave Wanning City in despair.

Later, someone went to the Duke of Yong's mansion to bring up Qin Huai's marriage.

Some people fell in love with Qin Huai's own intelligence, and some people fell in love with the power of the Duke of Yongguo, and wanted to take advantage of it to rise to the top, but these people returned without success in the end, and there was no color when they came out Good looking, I found out later that these people were all kicked out by Qin Huai directly.

Everyone said that they heard that the young master of the Yongguo Mansion was weak and sick and could not speak, but now he is not only strong and strong, but also eloquent. People vomited three liters of blood.

Even because of him, Yong Guogong, who seldom showed up, was about to lose his leg, explaining to this family and explaining to that family for fear that they would hate Qin Huai.

Qin Huai couldn’t see Duke Yong’s self-deprecation, somehow, the rumors about him gradually decreased, and no one dared to make fun of his fiancée, but Ayu’s name spread in the city.

"Eldest Prince, Sister Chigou is a very cautious person. At that time, she thought you were pretending to be someone from the First Prince's mansion, so she treated you badly. I know that the First Prince is a magnanimous and generous person. People say that you Be polite to others, surely you won't fuss over such a trivial matter, right?" Seeing that the First Prince seemed to be weighing the pros and cons of this matter, Ayu quickly spoke up to help Chigou.

When Chigou heard Ayu speak for her, his eyes flashed with emotion.

Hoo, Miss Ayu is better, I will still miss her.

But there was no expression on her face at all. Others looked at her and regarded her as a piece of wood.

Qin Qin only felt that he had a forehead headache, a pain in the back of his head, and an indescribable pain in his whole body, and he was still very hungry, but after all the calculations, they were considered his own.

My mother and my mother and concubine have always gotten along very well. If I find trouble with her natal nephew, he will not respond well when my mother asks her in the future.

"Forget it, it's because I didn't speak clearly. At that time, I thought there were many irrelevant people inside. If they heard it, I would have to panic." The eldest prince didn't intend to be too fussy.

After thinking about it, even if he put himself in the original situation, he would not trust a person with unknown background.

That girl named Chigou, didn’t she also say that she was an aide in the Xiaoyao Palace? It turned out to be the personal bodyguard of the Young Master of Yongguo Mansion.

Speaking of it, the name Chigou is really ugly.

Unexpectedly, Qin Huai would not be willing to give the guard a nice name when he introduced Jie Yuan.

The other party is still a girl.

When Ayu was not around, Qin Huai didn't like to talk to the people around him. First, he found it boring, second, he felt it was unnecessary, and third, because of his childhood habit, Chi Jia usually talked more for him.

Now that Ayu is by his side, Qin Huai doesn't care much about talking to other people, and when he just stays with Ayu, he feels that the restlessness in his heart is much less.

People who are not pleasing to the eye on weekdays and want to kill them directly can also bear it.

"The eldest prince, can you tell me why you are in this mine?" Qin Huai glanced at Chi Jia, and Chi Jia spoke for him.

The first prince saw that the person who was asking the question was a bodyguard, so he didn't want to answer.

Ayu explained: "My brother was sick when he was young, and his throat sometimes felt uncomfortable, so he didn't like to talk very much. Uncle Chijia is also a teacher and a friend. What he said represents the words of Brother Ayou."

The eldest prince nodded, expressing his understanding: "I have heard a little bit, but this involves some royal affairs, it may not be convenient to tell you, forgive me."

Ayu: "Oh, we were also abrupt, we didn't think of this."

Actually, Ayu didn’t want to come over and talk to him, but since the red dog hurt the eldest prince, they would come anyway, lest the prince get angry and take the red dog to sacrifice to heaven.

Ayu greeted a few more times, and when more doctors from Wanning City arrived, she said that she would find a doctor and show the eldest prince a closer look.

After she went out, she saw Liang Xue who was following Miracle Doctor Xue.

"Sister Liang Xue, why are you here?"

Liang Xue was helping a wounded patient who had just been lifted out to bandage the wound. Her technique was extremely neat, and she bandaged it quickly.

"Of course I was called. My master and I planned to go to you first, but we were called back by someone from the palace, saying that a large group of people needed medical treatment, so we ended up here."

As soon as Ayu heard this, she felt that this matter was not so simple.

It was just a collapse of a quarry, which was a huge accident for ordinary people, but it couldn't alarm the people in the palace.

Not to mention sending Grandpa Xue and Sister Liang Xue, they are not the royal doctors of the palace!

Reminiscent of the way the eldest prince hesitated to speak just now, Ayu had a vague guess in his heart.

Is the collapse of this quarry and the eldest prince buried inside really just a coincidence?

【Treasure, the task is only a little short of the last progress. Now, bring a few more powerful people and go to the back mountain to catch the mastermind behind the scenes! 】

Tuanzi released the task in time.

Actually, this task requires Ayu to find relevant clues, and then investigate them one by one, and finally follow the vines to find key evidence, and finally go to the back mountain to identify the murderer.

Tuanzi would not be willing to trouble Ayu so much, he immediately expanded the energy circle, collected all the voices in a radius of a hundred miles, and then analyzed them frantically, finally found the key point.

Without even thinking about it, Ayu turned around and went to Qin Huai, not forgetting to say to Liang Xue: "Sister Liang Xue, I have to do some important things later, please tell my mother and the others, it's very important Be back soon."

Liang Xue: "Why don't you say it yourself?"

Ayu chuckled: "If I tell you, they will be afraid that I will be tired again, so I don't want them to worry."

But what Ayu didn't say was that if they knew that she was going to lead people to catch the mastermind behind the scenes, they would definitely try their best to stop him.

This is a royal secret!

Ayu returned to the fortification hall again, saw the first prince who was struggling to drink hot tea, and asked him: "Prince, have all your people come? Are there a hundred?"

Eldest Prince: "? What?"

"Oh, I found a few suspicious people, and they ran to the back mountain. Another villager told me that there seems to be something incredible in the back mountain. If you have enough people, you might be rewarded if you go there now! "

The eldest prince didn't care about the pain, and immediately called his people over. After giving such orders, a team of about forty or fifty people stood in front of Ayu.

Ayu still wanted to talk to Qin Huai, but some guards surnamed red and ordinary guards came out, standing behind her, and the people in front directly protected Ayu.

Ayu narrowed his eyes with a smile.

"Let's go."

Qin Huai didn't ask where he was going, and just left.

The lamb who helped dig the soil for a long time came from the side, and was also waved by Ayu: "Lamb, go, I need you very much now."

After these people walked away quickly, some people squinted their eyes secretly, turned their heads and ran in another direction.

As a result, within a few steps, someone covered his head with a sack.

Wang Wulang clapped his hands, and said to Wang Silang, who was busy tying up people: "Fourth brother, it seems that you are not stupid in reading, and your skills have not fallen at all!"

Wang Silang: "...go aside."

Of course Ayu wouldn’t keep everyone informed. He had sent a letter to Wang Wulang and the others by relying on various secret actions, and he was really caught.

Deep in the mountains, in a mountain cave, several people surrounded a hooded man with heavy expressions.

"The eldest prince was rescued, this mission is considered a half failure."

"No, we still have a chance." One person said viciously, "They all thought it was just an ordinary collapse, and they were all busy saving people. The eldest prince has no guards at all. As long as we cooperate with each other, we can directly take the first prince—"

The man made a neck-cutting movement, his eyes were very sinister.

The man in the hood shook his head, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "No need."

Others were anxious: "The First Prince has seen something that shouldn't be seen, master, you must not soften your heart at this time, it will ruin our event!"

"Huh?" The hooded man turned to the speaker, and struck out with a palm unexpectedly.

The man flew upside down and hit the rock wall of the cave hard. He spurted out a big mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

Others didn't dare to speak any more when they saw it.

The man in the hood slowly withdrew his palm and said, "Don't say what I said a second time, do you understand?"

Seeing that everyone was silent like cicadas, he was very satisfied, and said: "Qin Qin, that trash, is a dead person after all, so don't worry about it. Our top priority is to-"

Before he finished speaking, someone answered.

"Are you going to surrender yourself?" The charming female voice was innocent and innocent, as if she was really curious about the second half of the sentence.

If it didn't sound outside the cave.
