Chapter 336 Night Banquet
There are about ten minutes left before the dinner party. Lion Wang Cheng wanted to ask the prince Yuli a few words before others arrived, but he didn't know how to speak. He looked at the ceiling above his head for a while, and then looked at the lamps standing around the house.
Instead, the wind and fire behind him were a little impatient. Suddenly, he shouted at the prince Yuli, "Ah, I really can't stand it anymore!" Wanghou, my godfather has confised with you in the coming year. How can you deceive him like this? Trapped him in injustice?!"
There was no obvious change in the look of the royal beaver. He said gently, "When the others arrive, I will definitely give you an explanation."
"You..."
Fenghuo wanted to continue to vent his fullness, but Lion King Cheng raised one hand and motioned him to stop.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside. Under the guidance of the demon servant, Ouyang Xiao Leng, Ouyang Yong and Ouyang Hongye came in. They all dressed very formally, so that they really looked like they were coming to the banquet, and the corners of their mouths seemed to be smiling.
"My King! Brave Elder! Red leaves!" Wanghou Yuli saw it and quickly stood up to salute.
"My King!" Lion Wangcheng nodded and asked, "Why are you the only ones here?"
"Is this more like a family banquet?" After saying that, Ouyang Yong sat down next to Lion Wangcheng.
Ouyang Xiao Leng sat next to the prince Yuli, and Hongye sat far away. The atmosphere seemed to be a little relieved from the embarrassment just now. First, everyone said a few words to the lion Wang Cheng, and then Ouyang Yong suddenly asked, "We can almost start, right?"
"Okay, let's eat!" The lion king ordered the demon servant to go down.
At the beginning of the banquet, the demon servants circled from behind a huge screen with four male lions and put up delicious food together with fruits and wine like a trick. In the light, they were more like exquisite handicrafts.
Ouyang Hongye raised the wine glass in front of him and stood up. Just as the prince Yuli thought he might say something to toast, he said unexpectedly, "Yu Li, one of my men were ordered to look for several secret roads hidden in the royal city, but they found one in your mansion. They were about to come back and think of me. Report, but he didn't want to be plotted and was seriously injured. Fortunately, he was rescued by a mysterious man to get out of danger. I think the mysterious man is you, right?
Such a direct question surprised Wang Hou Yuli, and he could only raise his glass and stand up and say, "That's right!"
"That's good. May I ask who is the person who hurt her?" Ouyang Hongye continued to ask.
"This..." Wang Hou Yuli is dedicated to protecting the blue bamboo.
"It seems that you are a little embarrassed, brother Yuli?" Ouyang Hongye didn't send it, so it stopped.
"No." Wang Houyu responded in a hurry.
"In any case, if you can answer my first question honestly, I still want to thank you. I respect this glass of wine!" After saying that, Ouyang Hongye looked up and put the prepared wine into his throat, and then sat back on the chair.
"I did it too!" Wanghou Yuli also finished a glass of wine, but he didn't sit down, because he knew that he didn't have that chance for the time being.
The second person to stand up was Ouyang Xiao Leng. This only move made the prince Yuli feel unbearable and said repeatedly, "My king, just sit down!"
"Not long after my father ascended the throne, you became a prince. I have heard a lot about you from the two elders. In the war 16 years ago, you were responsible for covering the residents in the city and retreating to safety. Even if you were seriously injured, you did not flinch and persisted until the last moment. I just want to ask you, why didn't you just leave at that time? Why don't you just join the other party's army alive?" After Ouyang Xiaoling sat down, he said all the words that had piled up in his heart these days.
"I know that the big mistake has been made and irreparable, but I still want to try my best to save a few more lives, although no matter what I do, I can't resist my sins." Wang Hou's hand holding the wine glass has begun to tremble.
"Okay, let me ask you again, do you have to? Is there any difficulty?" Ouyang Xiao Cooling intends to give him a chance to defend himself.
"Even so, I am willing to fall into the trap of the other party for my own selfish desires." Wang Houyu believes that he doesn't deserve such an opportunity at all.
Ouyang Xiao Leng also drank all the wine in his glass after listening.
"Today, it seems that you all want to have a good drink, so we two old people can't lose to you young people." Ouyang Yong felt that the tension around him was imminent, so he wanted to distract everyone's attention with Lion King Cheng.
"In fact, I already know the reason why you asked me to come to the banquet today. I don't want to hide it anymore. From the moment I let Hongye's men go, I have the consciousness to explain everything to you at any time..." Wang Hou Yuli decided not to keep silent, and he told all the reasons why he built the secret channel in the mansion.
"Lan Ruoqing, isn't she the former boss's wife of the Sparrow Hotel? Most people call her Mrs. Blue. Ouyang Hongye, like everyone here, never knew that Wang Houyu had such a confidant.
"Ruoqing also helped Qingyun for his son, and the reason why Lan Zhu killed Hongye's men was that he was completely protecting me." Wang Hou Yuyu still hopes that the demon king fox and others will not blame Lan Ruoqing's mother and son.
"Did she say who her husband is?" Ouyang Yong suddenly asked him back.
"I've never mentioned it. I don't know much about him."
"But I know that there is such a thing. At the beginning, someone denounced a former military leader. On the way to send someone to take him back to Wangcheng on a snowy night, he was rescued by Qingyun's men. Xue Ye Nian made great contributions to him. If it spread that he was rescued by the enemy, it would be equivalent to directly confirming the rumor that he was a traitor, so he said that he accidentally died on the way back to the royal city. This person is called Zhuxi, and he is from Miancheng.
After listening to Ouyang Yong's words, Wanghou Yuli suddenly realized that the reason why Lan Ruoqing named his son Lanzhu was not to commemorate their acquaintance at Sizhu Station, but just because he missed her husband Zhuxi. I couldn't help saying to myself, "It seems that the originator of everything is the devil of Qingyun!"
Now he can't say. Is the reason why Lan Ruoqing came to Wangcheng to open a hotel is just a step in the Qingyun plan? She met him again just to use his feelings to make a deal with Qingyun. He complained and distressed about her, what she blamed about her use and deception, and what he worried about was that she was also a victim.
"There is also a secret channel hidden in the old warehouse of the Sparrow Hotel." Ouyang Xiao Leng said tentatively.
"Sure enough..." The prince Yuli knelt on the ground and beat his chest.
"Since the truth has come out, then..." Ouyang Xiao Leng was planning to put the prince Yuli under house arrest in the Chenji Palace first, and suddenly a burst of ** interrupted him.
"Red leaf, go and see what's going on?" Ouyang Yong ordered.
"Yes..."
Unexpectedly, before Ouyang Red Leaf walked out of the door, all the lights in the room were suddenly extinguished, and a sweet smell was used in, and there was a strange smell with it. Everything happened so fast that there was no time to react at all. When they rekindled the lamp in the room with demonic power, they found that the prince Yuli had disappeared.
"Who will save him?" Ouyang Yong felt that after inhaling the gas just now, his chest began to feel stuffy.
"It can only be Mrs. Lan and her son!" Ouyang stood up coldly and angrily.
"Oh no, will there be anything wrong with Wangyue?" Ouyang Hongye exclaimed, and immediately rushed out and went straight to the outside of Kaiyang Hall.
Several bodyguards fell to the ground. At first glance, they did not seem to be injured, but after careful examination, they found poison needles on their bodies. He was anxious because he couldn't find the moon, but the moon suddenly flew to him.
As soon as he saw Ouyang Hongye, he said, "Just now, two people in black suddenly shook out. In just a moment, I poisoned all the guards with poison needles. I only cared about chasing one of them. After a while, I felt that I had been tricked, so I turned back. How's the situation in Kaiyang Hall?"
"The prince Yuli was rescued by them. He has just pleaded guilty. It was his adopted son Lan Zhu who hurt my subordinate Honglian that day, and this person is Mrs. Lan's son."
"Damn! You don't have to ask, you know what kind of forced means did Qingyun use to make the prince Yuli obey him?
"It's a long story, and it involves an unsolved case many years ago. Do you remember Zhuxi?
"Zhuxi... Oh, the young man from Miancheng was promoted from a small soldier to an indispensable fierce general in the army because of his slight combat achievements. He was deeply loved by Wang Xueye. I have heard some of him. Just as Xue Ye wanted to help him well, he still decided to return to Miancheng.
"Mrs. Lan is his survivor. At the beginning, Zhuxi was rescued by Qingyun's men on the way back to Wangcheng for investigation. Xueye remembered his former merits and decided to hide the news. He only told him that he had died accidentally on the road, but someone told Mrs. Lan that he was ordered to die on the road by Xueye.
"So that Mrs. Lan is to avenge her husband? Then everything will be made clear. But I can't figure it out. Since the secret matter has been exposed, why do they still want to save the prince Yuli?
"Maybe it's to save him. They still have feelings for each other."
"Where will they take him?"
"Maybe... you can find Qingyun's hiding place along this clue." Ouyang Hongye was talking, and the nerves in his head suddenly jumped and hurt, making his whole body shake.
"What's wrong with you, red leaf?" Wang Yue asked with concern.
"Mrs. Lan and her son are both good at using poison. Just now, they released toxic gas into the house. I'm afraid I inhaled some. It's not a big deal."
"Alas, how many people in this royal city are still used by Qingyun?"
"Qingyun is good at using other people's emotions to achieve his own goals. Those of us who can't completely let go of love and hatred may be grasped by him." What Ouyang Hongye said is meaningful.
Wang Yue thought of the little snow rabbit. If Qingyun threatened him with an antidote at the beginning, what would he do? In order to save her, he is also likely to betray his loyal king and turn his back on his intention to protect the great friendship with his life. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be afraid for a while.
