Chapter 231: Naughty kid?
Before Fan Jingrui could speak, the Fifth Prince spoke first: "Don't worry, the boss knows better than anyone that too much is as bad as too little."
This is indeed the case. After successfully wiping out the forces of the fake "Li Jing", the eldest prince did not get involved in any of the subsequent work of tracing the clues.
Can you say that he is worthy of being a child who grew up in the palace? He is so thoughtful and has an extremely accurate sense of proportion.
However, it was obvious that it was too early for Chu Ci to feel relieved.
The eldest prince has never been bad at serious matters.
However, this time, he set his sights on Chu Ci!
To be precise, both the King of Shu and the King of Qin received orders from the emperor to secretly investigate the origins of the dagger.
So along the way, the eldest prince tried every means to pester Chu Ci and tried every means to buy her dagger.
He kept thinking: If he could get this dagger and present it to his father, he would be able to please his father. If his father is happy, he might let bygones be bygones. Maybe he could go a step further and get more rewards and trust from his father.
Unexpectedly, Chu Ci refused without hesitation: "No way, I have already made it clear that this is for my self-defense."
"If His Royal Highness the King of Shu also desires a superior sword, you may as well send a message to Master Duanmu. Although it is not as sharp as the one in my hand, it is much stronger than ordinary swords."
The eldest prince: Does he want a sword that is stronger than an ordinary sword? He wants a top-grade sword that can cut through iron like mud!
Just when the eldest prince was about to continue pestering, he was stopped in time by the fifth prince.
Afterwards, the eldest prince's probing of Chu Ci became much more obscure. He was no longer direct and forceful. Instead, he used indirect attacks and his words were full of mystery, trying to find out more information about the dagger from Chu Ci's casual response.
Chu Ci frowned, feeling annoyed: he was already tired from the journey, and now he had to deal with him, so he had no peace.
Helplessly, Chu Ci could only pull Qianxue and Qianyan into the carriage. Although it was a bit stuffy in the carriage, it was much better than facing the eldest prince's constant and varied temptations.
At least in this small space, she could temporarily get a moment of peace and quiet, allowing her thoughts to breathe, without having to be on edge all the time to deal with the eldest prince's temptations that might pop up at any time and anywhere.
Fortunately, the next target, Meicheng, where the Zhang and Lin families are located, is not too far from Shuiyue City where the Li family is located.
On the morning of the fourth day after leaving Shuiyue City, Chu Ci and his party arrived in Meicheng.
But sometimes, when people are unlucky, even drinking water gets stuck in their teeth.
In order to keep a low profile, Chu Ci and his party chose to queue up to enter the city. Unexpectedly, a naughty kid suddenly rushed out from nowhere and got into the carriage where Zhang Tao and Lin Feng were.
The most important thing is that this naughty kid actually knew the two of them. He just shouted in a crisp voice: "Brother Tao, Brother Hui, why are you here?"
Fortunately, the two of them were quick-witted and said before the embroidered law enforcement officers following them took action: "Shh, Yunyun, don't talk."
"My brothers want to give Master Yue a surprise. When Aunt Liu comes to visit us later, please don't tell anyone about our affairs, okay?"
"If you behave yourself, we will buy you some candy later."
Sure enough, little Lin Yun was attracted by the candy the two were talking about. His eyes lit up and he nodded excitedly: "Okay, okay, Yunyun will be obedient. Brothers, don't lie to me."
Upon hearing this, the two young men, Zhang and Lin, breathed a sigh of relief, but the law enforcement officers in embroidered robes who followed them remained tense.
Therefore, when he heard someone outside calling Yunyun with a hint of temptation in the voice, he immediately realized that something was wrong. He immediately sealed the major acupoints around Yunyun's body, and then stretched out his hand and made several gestures in the air.
Soon, the woman who was looking for Yunyun outside fell to the ground and was seriously injured.
Everything happened so fast that neither Zhang nor Lin had time to react.
By the time they reacted and wanted to ask the reason, they were also under control.
"Why, why? Are you also in the same group with those people who are chasing us?" As soon as they thought of this terrible possibility, the eyes of the two young men, Zhang and Lin, were instantly filled with despair. Their faces turned pale as paper, and their bodies trembled involuntarily, as if the whole world had completely collapsed at this moment.
But the law enforcement officer in embroidered clothes who followed him did not explain. He just said indifferently: "You will understand later."
They are the butchers and we are the meat. Even though they are unwilling, Zhang and Lin have no other options.
They clenched their fists and gritted their teeth, but were forced to accept the situation before them.
Until Chu Ci and his party entered the city safely. After everything was settled, Chu Ci hypnotized the beloved younger brother Yun Yun in front of Zhang Lin and the other two boys.
"He is not Yunyun. Yunyun was replaced a long time ago?" Zhang Tao and Lin Feng were in disbelief. They were so shocked that they didn't even realize that the ropes on their bodies had been untied.
Their eyes were dull and they kept muttering to themselves, as if their souls had been pulled out by this sudden truth.
After a long, long time, the two finally woke up from a dream and looked at Chu Ci pleadingly, "Can you ask where the real Yunyun and Aunt Liu were taken? Please, as long as we can find them, we are willing to do anything."
Chu Ci did not refuse, but his words were like a bucket of cold water poured over the two people's heads: "Okay, but not everyone is as lucky as you. The truth behind this may be extremely cruel, you must be mentally prepared."
Zhang and Lin had expected this. Although they were heartbroken, they knew Chu Ci was thinking about them. "We understand."
They suppressed the pain in their hearts, their eyes firm and resolute.
Chu Ci then nodded slightly and continued the interrogation in front of Zhang Tao and Lin Feng.
"Why did you appear at the city gate, and why did you happen to get into Zhang Tao and Lin Feng's carriage?"
The hypnotized "Yunyun", no, to be precise, it is the dwarf Mu Diao.
At this moment, under the influence of hypnosis, there was no concealment at all, and he said truthfully: "The real Yunyun likes the fish ball shop at the city gate, so I kept this habit. I just didn't expect that as soon as I arrived, Sister Bai discovered the Mingxiang left in Zhang Tao and Lin Feng's bodies."
Upon hearing about such a thing, the two young men, Zhang and Lin, instantly became nervous.
Even the purple-robed envoy's body tensed up a bit.
Chu Ci knew that this matter was very serious, and hurriedly asked: "What is Mingxiang? Why can we accurately judge the identity of the visitor even if we are several miles apart?"
There was a trace of struggle on Mu Diao's face.
But under the influence of Chu Ci's hypnosis, he still spoke slowly: "Mingxiang is a kind of fragrance unique to our organization."
"Anyone who comes into contact with you will have a unique smell on them."
"And the people specially trained in the organization, such as Sister Bai, can use this smell to determine whether someone has come into contact with Mingxiang from a long distance."
