Liu Yan looked at Xun Mou and said helplessly: "Hey! You don't know something. In order to build the 'Golden Statue of Nine Dragons Seizing the Pearl', I spent a lot of my savings. Prince Ning's bottle of wine only took a lot of time and effort. This time There’s no way it can be compared!”
The other three were stunned for a moment after hearing this, and Xun Mou comforted him: "Your Highness, you don't have to think so much. If you think about it from another angle, if you hadn't spent so much money this time, maybe Prince Ning would have had the upper hand! "
"Hey!" Liu Yan slammed his fist on the desk, "What General Xun said makes sense, but I must retaliate for this bad breath!"
Xun Yu stood up, walked to Liu Yan, and asked with a puzzled look, "Isn't it strange, Your Highness?"
"Oh? How do you say this?"
Xun Yu said: "This peach dew spring wine is so rare. In the world, only Geng Nande, the late director of the Good Brewing Department, could brew this wine. Now that Geng Nande passed away just last month, the method of brewing this wine has naturally been lost, and this bottle of wine is like It seemed that the timing was calculated, and it happened to appear one month after Geng Nande's death. You must know that it takes at least a year to brew this wine. In other words, King Ning asked Geng Nande for advice on the brewing method last year or early this year, but how could he Did you know that Geng Nande will pass away this year? What if he is still alive? Then there is no need for him to offer wine. Is everything a coincidence? Your Highness, aren't you surprised?"
After hearing this, Liu Yan couldn't help but take a deep breath and became frightened.
Xun Mou also said strangely: "Prince Ning could have such a pattern this time. It's not like his style. How could he have such precise timing? How could he dare to predict that the Holy Emperor would like this thing? This has to be said. It’s a clever move, but it’s also a dangerous move! Based on my understanding of Prince Ning, he definitely wouldn’t dare to take this risk.”
Liu Yan nodded and agreed with Xun Mou's point of view, "That's right, but who can be the person behind Prince Ning who can come up with this idea?"
Several people in the study began to rack their brains to think, but after much thought, they were unable to find a solution. How could the people around Prince Ning have such a character?
Liu Yan shook his head, "Hey... I really can't think of anything unusual about Prince Ning in the past few days. Why did such a bottle of 'Tao Lu Chun' suddenly come out? Is it really strange?"
After hearing this, Xun Mou suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, "Yes! Yes! I remembered it!"
Everyone raised their eyes and looked at the excited Xun Mou, "What?"
"His Royal Highness, have you forgotten? The mysterious person Deng Zhuo reported to two days ago!" Xun Mou replied without thinking.
Liu Yan muttered for a moment before remembering, "Are you talking about the person named Tao?"
"Exactly!" Xun Mou's eyes were bright, "Now it seems that he is the most likely!"
"But I heard that Deng Zhuo said that the family had just moved here from the south not long ago. How could he have planned such a thorough plan in just a few days?"
Xun Mou also began to be suspicious. Now that the person behind King Ning was becoming more and more mysterious, he couldn't help but feel a little troubled. He had not felt this sense of crisis for a long time since Lu Zuo's death. Xun Mou suddenly frowned, right? A terrible thought suddenly passed through Xun Mou's mind, and Xun Mou couldn't wait to ask: "Your Highness, do you still remember that Deng Zhuo said that he saw a man who looked very much like Lu Zuo's apprentice in the Tao Mansion?"
"Yes! His name is Yin Ji, and he even won me a 'Zhanlu Sword'!" Liu Yan opened his eyes wide in surprise, "What? Are you saying that that person might really be Yin Ji?"
Xun Mou shook his head uncertainly, thinking with empty eyes, and murmured after a while: "Yin Ji? Tao Qian? And Master Tao Qian who just moved into Xining Street? And Prince Ning, who was originally rumored to be giving a rhinoceros horn bead-embedded cup. , suddenly turned into the Holy One's favorite drink, 'Peach Blossom Spring Wine'? There seems to be some connection between all these!"
Xun Yu and Xu Bingde asked in unison: "Relation? What connection?"
Seeing that Xun Mou was silent again, Liu Yan said, "General Xun, are you saying that the person behind King Ning is really the owner of Tao Mansion?"
Xun Mou pondered for a long time, then suddenly revealed a terrifying look, "That person may be... Lu Zuo!"
The other three people sitting there stood up in unison and asked in surprise: "What?"
A trace of fear and suspicion flashed in Liu Yan's eyes, "How is this possible! He is already dead!"
"Have you all seen the body?"
Liu Yan looked around, hesitating and beginning to feel at a loss, "But...but at that time, the people under his command said that he only had one breath left. He must not be able to survive. How can he still be alive now!"
"So he was still alive when he was released from prison?" Xun Mou asked without any excuse.
Although Liu Yan was a little disgusted with Xun Mou's arrogant tone, he still felt a little sorry for Xun Mou, "Yes... the three-division trial did not have evidence to prove that he participated in the rebellion of the King of Wei. His release was approved by the emperor Yubi Zhu. I asked the guards at that time, and they also said that Lu Zuo would not survive more than two days, so I didn't take it to heart."
Xun Yu also looked at Xun Mou, and the father and son looked at each other with a trace of uneasiness in their eyes.
Xun Yu straightened his voice and said, "It seems that this person is probably Lu Zuo!"
Liu Yan lowered his head and said nothing. At this moment, his mind was beginning to turn upside down, praying that the person had better not be Lu Zuo, and it must not be him. After a long time, Liu Yan raised his head and asked Xun Mou: "What should we do next?"
Xun Mou's eyes flashed fiercely and he said decisively: "Kill!"
"Okay!" Liu Yan made up his mind. Regardless of whether he is Lu Zuo or not, as long as he is related to Prince Ning, it is not wrong to kill him. "Then I will send someone to kill him tomorrow!"
"No!" Xun Mou couldn't wait. He knew how powerful Lu Zuo was. If it wasn't Lu Zuo, it would be okay. If it was really him, he would definitely take other actions tomorrow. At that time, he would have missed the opportunity to fight. "Send someone now." , can’t delay even a moment!”
Although it was almost the second watch at this time, Prince Ning and Liu Xun had already gone straight to Tao Mansion in excitement and did not return to Prince Ning's Mansion immediately. When the concierge saw that it was Prince Ning, he did not dare to stop him, but Liu Xun was still polite. Let Lao Pan go in first to report, and then go in for a meeting after that to show courtesy and respect. After a while, I saw Lao Pan running out in a hurry to report back, saying, "Master, he is not feeling well. He is waiting for the prince in his study."
Ning Wang Liu Xun ordered his entourage to wait at the door, and only brought one personal guard into the house. When Prince Ning came to the courtyard, he heard the melodious sound of the piano. At this moment, Prince Ning couldn't help but feel joyful. He naturally felt that the music was light and festive. He stopped at the door of the study for a while, embarrassed to knock on the door. The door disturbs.
Prince Ning waited until he finished playing the song in the study, and Lu Zuo's voice came from the door, "Come in!"
