Murdering Heaven Edge

Chapter 33: Elder Haoyue

Views:

At the same time, there were two ordinary-looking middle-aged men following behind these four people. They were also very ordinary-looking, and they looked like ordinary guards.

But Chu Mo felt a slight twitch in his heart, remembering what Nayi said before, beside Elder Haoyue, there were two guards from Yuanguan realm, who were inseparable. Presumably... it was these two people.

Looking at the attires of Elder Haoyue, father and son, Chu Mo had an eye-opening feeling.

On this prairie, all he met before were some vulgar men. Even Nayi, although she had an extremely beautiful life, was dressed in a prairie style, with many ornaments on her head and body.

Walk up, jingle.

The prairie people in Chu Mo's imagination should also be like this.

But after seeing Elder Haoyue and his three sons, Chu Mo suddenly felt a little confused, as if he had returned to Daxia.

Chu Mo glanced at Pang Zhongyuan, and sure enough, after Elder Haoyue appeared, a look of unnaturalness flashed across Pang Zhongyuan's face in an instant. But then, he returned to normal, stood up with a smile, and looked at Elder Haoyue with some respect in his eyes.

Nayi and Brother Lie also stood up and greeted Elder Haoyue with smiles.

Princess Baolian was the last one to get up, and her tone was very flat, she didn't seem to be facing her husband at all, looking at Elder Haoyue who walked over, she said calmly, "Why are you here?"

Elder Haoyue smiled slightly, then nodded to Pang Zhongyuan who was beside him: "Mr. Pang, we meet again!"

Pang Zhongyuan saluted Elder Haoyue: "I have met Elder Haoyue!"

"Haha, don't be so polite, we are old friends now!" Elder Haoyue laughed heartily, and then he looked at Princess Baolian with a doting face: "Our niece and nephew are here, I can't come here Do you want to see it?"

As he said that, he turned his head and said to the three young men behind him, "Have you come to see the princess and the third prince?"

Although there are not as many rules in the royal court of the grassland as Daqi and Daxia, the seniority and inferiority are the same.

There was no reluctance on the faces of the three young people, and they all stepped forward to salute Nayi and Brother Lie with smiles on their faces. Nayi and Brother Lie also returned the salute with a smile, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

The degree of danger to Elder Haoyue in Chu Mo's heart increased a bit. Just looking at this scene, I can't imagine Bardo's cold attitude towards them before.

"Could it be that Baduo treated Nayi with that attitude because he was full of food?"

Obviously impossible!

Then, I can only say that Elder Haoyue... the city is too deep, and he is too good at disguising himself.

His three sons are not bad at all!

But Nayi and Brother Lie here... are not too far behind.

This made Chu Mo feel a little emotional. A child born in this kind of family is really good at acting, and can fake his true emotions in the blink of an eye.

The arrival of Elder Haoyue made the atmosphere in the banquet hall somewhat dull. But Elder Haoyue himself didn't realize it, asked someone to change the dishes on the table, and started drinking with Pang Zhongyuan with a smile.

During the period, I also raised my glass to respect the knights who protected Nayi all the way.

"Thank you for escorting the princess and prince along the way. You have worked hard!" Elder Haoyue stood up, holding a big bowl: "I will finish this bowl of wine first!"

All the knights were temperamental, seeing Elder Haoyue like this, they also stood up one after another and drank the wine in their bowls.

"You are all good men on the prairie, and you are all passionate men! Don't let me go just because I am here, just treat this as your home! Feel free to do whatever you want!" Elder Haoyue gestured to everyone with an empty bowl, and then He sat down again with a smile on his face.

The atmosphere in the hall gradually returned to its former enthusiasm.

There was a chill in Chu Mo's heart. He secretly observed the expressions of Nayi, Pang Zhongyuan and Princess Baolian.

Sure enough, those people were also very smart, with a bit of coldness and anger in their eyes.

"Elder Haoyue, although he is the landlord here, there is nothing wrong with entertaining everyone. However, the words he said and his attitude are clearly sending a signal to everyone..." Chu Mo thought to himself: This is... I want to be the king of this grassland!

"Besides, since he came in, he hasn't mentioned a word about the king and the queen..."

"It is said that the king and the queen have always been very kind to Elder Haoyue. This person... is really cold."

Before, I really underestimated him!

Thinking of some things recorded in the secret letter on Daqi's special envoy before, Chu Mo suddenly took a breath in his heart: In that secret letter, there were three or four people, all of whom belonged to the clan of Elder Haoyue...

Chu Mo thought that he should not know about it. But judging from his performance today, such a shrewd person should not be unaware of this kind of thing.

"Could it be that...Elder Haoyue is the most secretive and powerful pawn that Daqi has laid out on the grassland...?"

Although it was just a guess, Chu Mo was still taken aback by this possibility. Grandpa once said that the games and contests among high-level officials are full of wisdom and conspiracy. Ordinary people can't even figure out what's going on until they die.

Only at the moment when the cards are lifted, can you know the truth of everything. Even sometimes, the hole cards are lifted, but you still can't see the truth!

"It seems that after we go back, we need to re-study the secret letter." Chu Mo thought to himself.

The banquet ended very late, Elder Haoyue and his party did not stay here, but led the team away directly.

Under the guidance of a special person, Chu Mo returned to the room, and not long after, Pang Zhongyuan came to the door.

Mr. Pang, who had been drinking a lot tonight, looked a little drunk, and his tongue was a little big when he saw Chu Mo, he first apologized: "I'm sorry, I have wronged Mr. Lin tonight. It is said... Mr. Lin should sit at the head table people!"

Chu Mo waved his hand: "Didn't we agree before that my identity cannot be revealed. Otherwise, the next plan will not be able to be carried out."

Pang Zhongyuan waved his hand and said bitterly: "Things... I'm afraid something has changed!"

"What?" Chu Mo looked at Pang Zhongyuan and frowned slightly.

Pang Zhongyuan took a sip of water, then said in a deep voice, "Elder Haoyue... has a big problem!"

"Huh?" Chu Mo glanced at Pang Zhongyuan. He already had this guess tonight, but he didn't know how Pang Zhongyuan deduced it.

"When I was drinking just now, I intentionally tested Elder Haoyue's three sons. Those three guys...the boss is a smiling tiger with a deep scheming heart! The second child is gloomy all day long and talks very little. Only the third child, Self-proclaimed flamboyant, a little frivolous, considered the most scheming."

"Therefore, among the three boys, only the third is the easiest to deal with."

Because Pang Zhongyuan drank too much wine, his words were a bit long-winded. Chu Mo didn't rush him, and listened patiently.

"From the few words of the third child, I noticed that it was not Elder Haoyue's instruction to stop Baduo there today, it should be from his eldest son, Haoyue Gemu!"

"This incident made Elder Haoyue furious, and severely scolded Haoyue Gemu."

Pang Zhongyuan showed a sneer on his drunken face: "Although that kid Haoyue Geshui only revealed half a sentence, how could he escape my eyes?"

"Elder Haoyue didn't instigate this matter, and then he was furious because Haoyue Gemu did that. There must be... something wrong!"

"Because he's not Pauline! He doesn't like Nayi and Brother Lie so much!"

"He got angry because he was afraid that Haoyue Gemu's actions would arouse our vigilance!"

"That's why he showed up at the dinner with his three sons, and all of them looked happy to see their relatives, and didn't say a word about what happened in the royal court... This is clearly paralyzing us!"

"It's just that his sons are still a little tender. How can their feigned happiness escape my eyes?"

Pang Zhongyuan said with a sneer: "First scolding Haoyue Gemu, and then coming to the banquet in person, this is not the original character of Elder Haoyue at all! I know him, and there is only one reason for him to do this! That is, this guy, The ambition has swelled to the extreme, and I want to be the king of this grassland!"

"You mean...he took refuge in Daqi?" Chu Mo asked.

"Take refuge in Daqi?" Pang Zhongyuan shook his head: "There may be a little possibility of this, but it is very small. Even if he has a connection with Daqi, it is nothing more than mutual use. In this person's bones, he is very proud. He is It is unlikely that he will rely on Daqi."

Chu Mo thought for a while, and asked tentatively, "Then... do you think there are any chess pieces played by Da Qibu among Elder Haoyue's subordinates?"

Pang Zhongyuan frowned slightly, rubbed his head with his hands, and said, "This possibility... still exists."

"So... our previous plan?" Chu Mo looked at Pang Zhongyuan: "Is it temporarily postponed?"

"You have also seen the situation here. It is much more complicated than we thought. We need to see it clearly... Therefore, that plan should indeed be postponed temporarily. This will wrong Mr. Lin and stay here for a while longer." Pang Zhongyuan slightly Said with a bit of apology.

"It's okay, I don't have anything important anyway." Chu Mo said softly, "It's right to be more cautious!"

At the same time, Princess Baolian and Nayi were also discussing this matter in their own room.

"Auntie, why do I feel that something is wrong with Uncle?" Na leaned on the head of the bed, also a little drunk. Although she didn't drink much, she couldn't last long. Although the three elder brothers didn't drink her much, they didn't drink with her less either.

"Of course there is something wrong with him!" Princess Baolian sneered, "After your father passed away, he became suspicious, first he asked me, should Brother Jin and Brother Yin do such unconscionable things, should he be killed? "

"What do you say, aunt?" Nayi asked.

"Of course I said they should be killed!" Princess Baolian said, and sighed: "Those two children, I watched them grow up, they were good when they were young, but I didn't expect that when they grew up, they would make such a funeral. Do all the good things."

"Your uncle asked me again, saying that if Brother Jin and Brother Yin were killed and avenged the king, what would the royal court of the grassland do?"

Princess Baolian sneered and said: "I understood what he meant as soon as I heard it. Tell him, the grassland royal court will always be the lineage of the king. Brother Jin and Brother Yin are all dead. Isn't there still Brother Lie?"

"He also said that Brother Lie was young and couldn't convince the public at all. I told him that Brother Lie was young, and there was Nayi! It's not that there have never been queens on our grassland!"

Nayi shook her head: "I definitely can't..."

"Why can't you?" Princess Baolian took Nayi's hand and said, "Your personality is the most similar to mine. You are always busy, dare to think and do things, and you are smarter than me. Why can't you?"

"In this situation, it's too early to talk about this..." Nayi said a little disappointed: "If my uncle really has that kind of thought, who can stop him in the entire grassland?"

Princess Baolian sighed, hesitated for a moment, and then said softly: "Do you know that the death of your parents is actually... directly related to him!"
