For the next ten days, Lin Shuo would honestly stay at the Xiangshan Duke's Mansion.
It was actually quite embarrassing at night, the Fourth Madam and the Fifth Madam were more interested in it, especially the Fifth Madam, Lin Shuo couldn't persuade her at all.
In the room, not only Lin Shuo and his wife were present, but also Artemis.
Although it is not new for Lin Shuo to be listened to at night, Yun Xiu'er had been listening on the balcony all night when he was in the bridal chamber with Su Nianqiu and Di Lan.
But hearing is believing, seeing is believing, and it's two different things in front of people.
Fortunately, Artemis is not an ordinary person. He is a student of Lin Shuo's mother. He has reached the level of two-character titles in refining gods, so he can still do it by isolating his own perception. some comfort.
As for whether she really cut off her sight and hearing as she said, then Lin Shuo didn't know, and he didn't dare to investigate carefully, otherwise he would be prone to psychological barriers.
In the past few days, Lin Shuo stayed at the Duke's mansion, while Miao Chengyun took the hunting team's activity funds and went out to spend time and drink.
In Mr. Miao's words, he has to maintain his unrestrained personality, lest a woman really like him, and it will be difficult to explain it when he goes home.
Of course Lin Shuo didn't believe this fallacy, but Lin Shuo supported the fact that he spent the night outside.
The large army is now basically in the Duke's mansion, under the surveillance of others, so it is necessary for Miao Chengyun to be active outside, which is equivalent to setting eyes and ears outside.
The brothers meet every afternoon to exchange information.
This day is the tenth day since the hunting team arrived in Xiangshan City. Tomorrow, a grand wedding will be held in the Duke's Mansion of Xiangshan.
The bride is the childhood sweetheart of the Duke of Xiangshan, and the groom is an overseas person who came out of nowhere.
The Duke of Xiangshan wore this green hat down-to-earth, and this matter had been publicized for almost ten days, and the news really spread like wildfire.
Regarding this strange incident, there are all kinds of speculations in the market, and what Miao Chengyun will tell Lin Shuo today is one of the versions.
"It's called buying bones with a thousand dollars." Miao Chengyun said to Lin Shuo, "Some people think that you, the bridegroom, should be a capable follower.
In order to attract you, the Duke of Xiangshan simply gave away his own woman, and advertised it widely, in order to tell the world that he, the Duke of Xiangshan, recruits wise men.
In this way, in the future, the Duke's Mansion of Xiangshan will be crowded with people from all walks of life. "
At this moment Su Dongdong went out, it is said that he went to match tomorrow's clothes and jewelry, and Lin Shuo was not allowed to follow, saying that in this way there would be no surprises tomorrow.
Right now, apart from brothers Lin Shuo and Miao Chengyun, Artemis is also in this room.
The Duchess was listening, laughing wildly: "Nonsense."
"Siblings, this doesn't make sense, why are you talking nonsense?" Miao Chengyun asked.
"She's not a younger sibling." Lin Shuo quickly clarified from the side.
"Soon, it will be tomorrow." Miao Chengyun waved at Lin Shuo, "Don't interrupt."
Artemis glanced at Lin Shuo, and said, "I'm not his concubine at the Duke of Xiangshan's mansion, I'm the dignified Duchess of Mia, can the Duke of Xiangshan give me away for a woman like me?"
Miao Chengyun nodded: "That's right, so the other version is actually more widely circulated. It is said that he is the Duke of Xiangshan, who has this hobby, that is, he likes to see his beloved woman do things with other people. In addition to your younger siblings, you Your reputation is really not that good, so everyone believes that you did it voluntarily, just to match the Duke of Xiangshan's hobbies... "
"What kind of mess is this!" Lin Shuo couldn't listen anymore, and stared at Miao Chengyun and said, "You've been asking for news outside these two days, and this is all you've heard?"
Miao Chengyun ignored Lin Shuo, but said to Artemis, "Look, he's in a hurry."
"Well, I'm in a hurry."
"When he said that you were the woman of the Duke of Xiangshan, he became anxious."
"Yes, that seems to be the case."
"What the hell..." Lin Shuo slapped the table and stood up, "You guys are chatting, I'll go for a walk."
"Come back, let's get down to business." Miao Chengyun smiled and waved, "You can't help being funny."
Lin Shuo sat down angrily with a dissatisfied face.
"The dignified leader of the Hunter Sect is usually as stable as a dead man, but now he is panicking." Miao Chengyun muttered, and said seriously, "The third prince arrived last night."
As soon as Lin Shuo heard that the business was coming, he stopped fussing with this person and asked in a deep voice, "Where are you?"
"The best inn in Xiangshan City, Dingxiang Building." Miao Chengyun said, "And guess what?"
"Stop talking nonsense and keep talking."
"The eldest prince also arrived last night, and he will also stay at the Dingxiang Tower." Miao Chengyun said, "Two groups of people met unexpectedly at the entrance of the inn."
"Did you fight?" Artemis asked excitedly.
Miao Chengyun glanced at Artemis: "Brothers and sisters, with your political consciousness, do you still want to govern a principality
After marrying my younger brother, you should be honest and teach your husband and children.
That is the heir of the emperor, not a street hooligan, the two groups of people have to fight when they meet.
Of course the brothers and sisters respected each other, they were friendly and courteous to each other, so in the end neither of them lived in the Dingxiang Building, but I did. I called eight girls at once, hey, Shu Tan. "
"Just do it like this." Lin Shuo rolled his eyes.
"It's just asking the girls to drink together. It's nothing to do. It's called maintaining a persona. By the way, I can get information from these girls. I can kill two birds with one stone. My wife will definitely understand." Miao Chengyun said shaking his head.
"Then what did you find out?" Lin Shuo asked.
"I found out that the third prince is here for the first time. However, the eldest prince is the cousin of the Duke of Xiangshan, and the two have been friends since childhood, so the eldest prince often comes to Xiangshan City.
The Dingxiang Building is where the Duke of Xiangshan entertains the First Prince, so the girls there are quite familiar with the First Prince's situation.
This eldest prince is a scholar and does not practice cultivation, so his cultivation level is not as good as that of ordinary people in Daxizhou. However, he has an outstanding literary talent and is also lenient and polite to others, so he has a good reputation.
His relationship with the emperor is also quite unusual. The emperor trusted him very much. Whenever the emperor went on a tour, the eldest prince must supervise the country in the capital and organize the state affairs in an orderly manner.
So although there is no crown prince in this dynasty, everyone believes that the eldest prince is undoubtedly the crown prince.
At the same time, the third prince, who was also highly regarded by the emperor, was actually just a whetstone, which the emperor used to spur the eldest prince.
Of course, these statements of the Dingxianglou woman have to be questioned.
Because their information channels are all from the First Prince and the Duke of Xiangshan, they must be talking to the First Prince, and they will not speak too highly of the Third Prince, and the statement must not be objective.
So I just ignored the above and didn't take it to heart. What I mainly inquired about was the entourage of the First Prince.
At that time, when the two princes met at the entrance of the inn, they each brought their troops. The girls upstairs and downstairs were all watching, and I was also watching from a distance.
Among these two groups of people, there are many masters.
The decapitated Tu Liang seemed to have been subdued by the third prince, so he followed suit this time.
As for the people behind the eldest prince, I got their names out of the girls' mouths.
Hey, the scale of masters accompanying the eldest prince this time is almost the same as that of the emperor.
The emperor is usually only three or six or nine, but his trip was two or four or eight.
That is, two two-character titles, four three-character titles, and eight four-character titles.
On the premise of not overstepping, this is the most luxurious lineup that a prince can bring with him. "
Speaking of this, Miao Chengyun paused for a moment, and said to Artemis: "Siblings, before you marry my brother, tell me honestly, do you have an affair with the First Prince?"
The Artemis were all dumbfounded: "Huh?"
"If you don't have a leg, why did he bring so many experts with you to drink your wedding wine this time?" Miao Chengyun said solemnly, "Isn't it clear that you want to snatch the bride?"
When Artemis heard this, she became anxious. Seeing Lin Shuo's aggrieved face, she was speechless.
"Hey, you don't understand him." Lin Shuo comforted, "The more serious he looks, the less serious he is in his heart. I'm just kidding you."
"Hey, you still explain this to him." Miao Chengyun smiled, "You also said that she is not my future sibling."
Lin Shuo slapped himself with a "slap", "Just pretend I haven't said anything, and you guys continue."
Artemis looked satisfied at this time, and changed his face faster than the sky, smiled and gave Miao Chengyun a thumbs up: "Miao Chengyun, I found that you beat him."
"It didn't work before, he took care of everything." Miao Chengyun smiled, "That is to say, he let me go for seven years, and now I am his brother."
"I didn't understand that." Artemis looked puzzled,
"That's a long story, I'll talk to you later." Miao Chengyun said, "Speaking of the matter, I personally think that the eldest prince brought so many masters this time, it's not really to kill three The prince, just let his younger brother lose face.
After all, the battle for the throne is a battle for reputation, and it depends on who has a better reputation in all aspects.
Even if the intensity of the competition has reached the level of life and death, you can't openly fight with the opponent, at most you will stumble secretly.
So the two sides add up to so many masters, although there are checks and balances with each other, in the end, they will definitely deal with us with all their brains.
Lin Shuo, you have stabbed a hornet's nest this time. "
Lin Shuo glanced at Miao Chengyun: "What, are you scared?"
"Of course I'm not afraid." Miao Chengyun said, "However, in the current situation, it's obviously unwise for us to head-on. We need to make some arrangements."
"Of course there are arrangements." Lin Shuo smiled, "Otherwise I would still let you be so promiscuous outside. I don't care if my cousin cleans you up, but what if she settles accounts with me, the person in charge?"
"Anyway, on her side, you have to cover for me." Miao Chengyun said, "By the way, Dingxianglou spent a lot last night, and I ran out of money. I will give some more activity funds."
"Fifty gold coins, all gone?" Lin Shuo asked in surprise.
"That's the Dingxiang Building. The girls have served the prince. What is the worth of each of them? I also want to inquire about information." Miao Chengyun said, "It's purely for work, and I have to continue tonight. Ask about the specific situation of those masters under the First Prince, so that we can target them."
"I don't believe you didn't ask all the questions last night, and you have to continue for another night." Lin Shuo said.
"Believe it or not." Miao Chengyun stretched out his hand, "Give me the money."
"I'm out of money." Lin Shuo said helplessly, "Just fifty gold coins, which I got from Nemea, and I'll give it all to you."
"I have it here." Artemis said to Miao Chengyun, "Wait a minute, I'll get it."
After saying this, Artemis got up to get the money.
Miao Chengyun looked at Lin Shuo and said with a smile, "I think from now on, your family will still have to let her be the head of the house. You see, she's much better than my junior sister."
