Denton turned around and sat down, mentioning another thing.
He stared at Balu with squinting eyes and said, "Now that General Juqu and a few of the Sixth Prince have come back, the affairs outside the city will be left to you, but have you caught anyone?"
Balu's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said stubbornly: "So what if I didn't catch him! There were so many people looking for him all night yesterday, but they couldn't catch him. Now I'm the only one left. How can I catch him?"
"You are wrong. According to the information I got, those people have almost nowhere to escape! In the past, you basically just arrested people. How could you not have caught them?"
Balu was actually a little scared, but when the news came from the city, he immediately thought of the fourth prince's words.
Before they came over, the fourth prince said that the Asan tribe was being targeted.
This time Gehun dies, and something will happen to the two clans.
Unexpectedly, the second clan leader had just arrived and he would die like this!
Balu's first reaction was to go back and take a look, but the second prince's people told him to stay and continue arresting people.
In the past, he was not very good at refuting, and by the time he felt something was wrong, he was already gone.
"Those people are so powerful, they couldn't catch them all night long! How could I possibly catch them! Even if you want to blame them, you can't blame me!"
Balu was also a little angry. He didn't want to wade into this muddy water at all.
Denton sneered: "Can't you blame me? Do you really think what happened to the second patriarch was an accident?"
"It's not an accident?" Balu opened his eyes wide instantly and looked at him in disbelief.
Wen Qingzhu next to him felt his heart sink. Could it be that Denton had predicted this a long time ago
impossible! Her attack on the second clan leader was just a temporary move.
If Beidou Sanniang and the others hadn't been forced into desperation, she wouldn't have wanted to touch the second clan leader so quickly. After all, thunderbolts were really precious.
The raw materials are all Jiang Yuancheng's stock. Before finding the formula of the raw materials, use a little less.
"Of course it's not an accident! The group of people who rescued the slaves yesterday had extraordinary hands and unprecedented mobility and organization."
Denton looked into Balu's eyes and said: "Didn't you say that Fu Lie led the army to Tianying City? But we have never found any news about him. Now it seems that he came here just to save people! Inside Maybe it’s Fu Lie himself.”
Balu was even more amazed: "Are they so bold? This is Tianying City, and Juqu is guarding here!"
"So what? Juqu is powerful, but in Fu Lie's eyes, he is nothing. Only the God of War from the White Wolf Tribe can rival him!"
When Denton talked about Fu Lie, he spoke highly of him.
As Wen Qingzhu listened to them talking, he felt the stone in his heart getting heavier and heavier.
Fu Lie had indeed been to Tianying City before, and he had made two preparations.
One is to respond to them and rescue the captured Qi people.
The other is preparing to ambush in the Xiongnu Palace, and when the time is right, Lei Shuo will come out.
Now that Denton has already guessed half of it, isn't that the other side of the tower—
Balu turned around excitedly, and finally saw Wen Qingzhu.
Looking at her appearance, he always felt that she looked very familiar.
The slave girl in the basket yesterday flashed through my mind.
But the person in front of me happened to have a very ordinary appearance, and was not comparable to the one last night.
When Denton saw that Balu finally noticed Wen Qingzhu, he asked, "What's wrong?"
"Who is she?" Balu pointed at Wen Qingzhu and turned to Denton to ask.
Denton stood up and explained: "She is the maid I prepared for Miss Lei. What do you think?"
Balu was startled: "You still dare to prepare? Didn't the prince say last time that we are not allowed to interfere with his and Miss Lei's affairs in the future?"
Sister Shuo! Wen Qingzhu immediately perked up his ears.
Denton actually wants to give himself to Sister Shuo, isn't that what she meant
But listening to their conversation, it doesn’t seem to work.
Denton patted Balu on the shoulder and said: "There are some things you don't understand. The prince has changed. He is different from before. Miss Lei's existence will only affect him. Originally, King Zuo Xian also liked Miss Lei very much, but She actually interfered with the relationship between the Korza tribe and the White Wolf tribe, and King Zuoxian can no longer tolerate her."
"Then just kill him!" Balu said nonchalantly.
Denton frowned, this was where Baloo couldn't make sense.
He turned to look at Wen Qingzhu: "Qing'er, have you heard of the name Lei Shuo?"
Wen Qingzhu shook his head blankly.
Denton smiled and said: "From now on, you will serve Miss Lei Shuo. When the opportunity is right, I will send you away together!"
"Then, can I see you again in the future?" Wen Qingzhu wanted to say thank you, but felt that she needed to know more about Denton.
Now that she was alone, the best strategy was the beauty trap.
Wen Qingzhu opened his big eyes and looked at him motionless.
Denton coughed twice and looked away.
He seemed to feel something was wrong, so he turned back to look into her eyes and said seriously: "No need, Miss Lei is a noble girl from Qi State. If you take care of her here for a while, she will remember your kindness. When you return to Qi in the future, you won’t have to be sold back and forth.”
"Yeah." Wen Qingzhu laughed, but there was still a little disappointment in his eyes.
His gaze rested on Denton, with a bit of reluctance.
Denton has seen this look countless times, so he can accept it.
He turned to Balu and said: "In short, I have the tacit approval of King Zuo Xian for this matter. Just keep silent and I will take care of the rest. What we have to do now is to try to get away with it. "
Balu didn't understand, so Denton took him to sit down without worrying about Wen Qingzhu listening.
After all, he and Balu spoke Hun dialect.
"The second prince left you with the idea that if the murderer is not caught, the responsibility may be passed on to the fourth prince. That's why I haven't come forward. And what you do has always been very straightforward. If they catch the opportunity, There is no loophole to frame it."
Balu's tone became weird: "So you asked me to go on purpose? Just because I'm simple-minded and disobedient?"
Denton laughed dryly: "That's what I mean, but in short, it's easier for you to get away with it than for me. Now we just have to wait until the fourth prince comes."
Balu said nothing.
At noon, Wen Qingzhu cooked a meal and sent it over. They were all exquisite dishes from Qi State.
Due to limited ingredients, I only made three cold dishes, three hot dishes, and a large pot of soup.
The staple food of the Huns is wheat cakes, and the better ones are flour cakes.
Wen Qingzhu specially made noodles this time, and also used a plant similar to chopped green onions native to Xiongnu to garnish them on top instead of the role of chopped green onions.
The two people, who had always lived a rough life, were still shocked when they saw this table of food.
Denton looked up and asked her, "Did you often cook before?"
Wen Qingzhu shook his head quickly: "No, no, if I cook often, it must be four cold dishes, eight hot dishes, and two soup dishes. I have been doing rough work, and the kitchen is a place with heavy oil and water, meat and vegetables." I rarely eat, and I won’t let people like me touch the kitchen.”
Denton was silent, she was just an ordinary Qi woman.
Although he had heard a lot about Qi State from the people of King Zuo Xian, but now when he personally came into contact with Qi State-related matters, he discovered that Qi State was more prosperous than he imagined.
The dishes in front of me are all the most common ingredients in the Huns.
Generally, the Huns cook the meat directly or stew it, and the vegetables are either eaten raw or stewed with the meat.
There are no tricks.
Especially the bowl of pasta in front of him looked more appetizing than usual.
Is Qi really that prosperous
Denton silently reached out to grab it, and stopped suddenly when he reached the noodle bowl.
Wen Qingzhu quickly took the chopsticks and handed them to him: "Do you know how to use them, sir?"
Seeing that Denton didn't move, she quickly demonstrated it to her.
Denton nodded and took her chopsticks.
Before he left the Korza tribe, he followed King Zuoxian.
King Zuo Xian preferred to use chopsticks, so he also learned to use them.
Wen Qingzhu saw that Denton didn't look like he was using it for the first time, and he felt even worse.
Why are all the talents she meets from the Fourth Prince's side
She turned around and took the chopsticks to hand to Balu, but saw Balu pick up the bowl, open his mouth wide, and pour it directly into his mouth.
After a few gurgles, I wolfed down a bowl of noodles.
Balu put down the bowl, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and said to her: "Go get another bowl! It's delicious! Specially prepared for delicious!"
Wen Qingzhu has been here for a long time, but this is the first time she has seen someone eating like Balu.
After thinking for a moment, she directly lifted the pot.
Balu's eyes lit up, and he hurried over and scooped out the noodles with a bowl, but the noodles were long and couldn't get up.
Wen Qingzhu quickly picked up the chopsticks, went over and said to Balu: "Sir, let me do it."
Baloo stopped, looked at Denton and asked, "What is she talking about?"
"She said she's coming, put it down, this pasta can only be served with chopsticks." Denton stopped and explained to Balu.
He was also very happy and quickly let go.
…
This meal was very enjoyable.
Balu even said involuntarily: "Such a good slave girl, just leave her to us!"
Denton's face darkened: "She is the maid I found for Miss Lei, not a slave."
Seeing that Denton was a little angry, Balu quickly shut up.
However, he still whispered: "Aren't the Qi women here all slaves..."
Wen Qingzhu didn't speak, just stood aside quietly.
Denton glanced at Wen Qingzhu and said to her: "Go down and rest first, I don't need your service here."
"yes."
Wen Qingzhu felt very sorry that he could not listen to their conversation.
When she walked to the door, she heard Balu ask cautiously: "Denton, do you have any news about the beautiful slave girl yesterday?"
Wen Qingzhu's steps paused, but Balu hasn't given up yet
Denton in the room noticed her change, and just said lightly: "No, now is a special time, you'd better stay in the room honestly, otherwise it will cause trouble to the fourth prince, and the problem will be big..."
Wen Qingzhu walked out and the sounds in the house were no longer heard.
She went to the kitchen, preparing the ingredients for the evening, and thinking about how to avoid Geeta.
I can hide it from Denton, but I may not be able to hide it from Geeta.
After all, he was taught by King Zuo Xian, so Wen Qingzhu was still a little worried.
In the middle of the afternoon, people came into the yard. They seemed to be Juqu's men. They talked to Denton and then left with Denton and Balu.
There was no one else in the room, and soon Feitian quietly appeared.
He whispered to her: "I have already inquired. Denton and Balu will not be back for a while. The second prince is looking for you. I suggest you go there. The people from the Asan tribe are beginning to doubt us. They have already He Lai was placed under house arrest."
"Where is Beidou? Can he come back now?" Wen Qingzhu went there alone, always feeling unsafe.
Feitian, however, disagreed a bit: "Beidou was chased by them for so long last night. Will they be discovered if we come here now?"
Wen Qingzhu pondered, this was indeed a problem, but now she had no other choice.
Only with Beidou here can she be sure that she is infallible.
Feitian looked at the sky and said, "Time is running out, adults, let's make a decision."
