Chapter 221: Jealous
Chapter 221: Jealous
The Governor's Mansion is large and empty. Now one courtyard after another welcomes its owner, gradually giving the quiet mansion a sense of fireworks.
Chenlong liked peace and quiet, so Meng Qianqian specially arranged a quiet and elegant courtyard for him.
When Meng Qianqian went to find him with a food box, he was sitting in the yard in a daze.
"elder brother."
Meng Qianqian shouted with a smile.
Chenlong had no emotion and didn't respond to her.
Meng Qianqian walked up to him and placed the steaming food box on the stone table.
She was facing the light, and her figure was illuminated by the moon in the sky.
Chen Long glanced at the ground, where there were two figures.
"What are you doing here?"
Chenlong asked expressionlessly.
Meng Qianqian sat down next to him: "If you don't go to eat, I have to bring you food!"
Chenlong raised his eyes and looked at Lu Yuan: "I'm asking him."
Lu Yuan flicked his sleeves, folded his arms and sat down opposite Chen Long: "This is my home, I can go wherever I want."
Meng Qianqian swore to the sky: "He is worried that you will be bad for me, but I absolutely believe in you!"
Lu Yan said with a cold face: "Meng Xiaojiu!"
Meng Qianqian trembled.
Chen Long looked at the unsatisfactory Xiao Yinhu and said to Lu Yuan, "Why are you so mean?"
Meng Qianqian: "That's right, why are you so mean?"
Lu Yuan: "..."
Lu Yuan turned his face and didn't care about anyone.
Meng Qianqian opened the food box and brought out several exquisite and delicious dishes: "Sweet and sour fish, braised chicken, roasted eggplant, radish soup, and sweet potato pancakes."
Chenlong took a look and found that they were all his favorite food.
Weiyang's words suddenly flashed through his mind: "Don't you think that Meng Xiaojiu's archery posture looks very much like a person?"
Chenlong's eyes moved.
He went to get the chopsticks: "Two pairs?"
Lu Yuan reached out and took out a pair: "The governor didn't eat either. How do you think it would be a shame to serve you alone?"
Chenlong looked at Meng Qianqian: "You don't want to eat."
Meng Qianqian touched her round belly and said, "I've really eaten it."
The two grown men ate their dinner slowly, in front of the flowers and under the moonlight, a pair of beautiful men.
Meng Qianqian held her chin in her hands, feeling that it was very eye-catching.
But as I ate, something felt wrong.
Is it an illusion?
He seems to have murderous intent!
She looked at the two of them in horror, then had an idea and asked Banxia to get a pot of wine.
"Come, come, drink, drink!"
She poured wine for the two of them.
Lu Yuan raised his glass and said, "You are a guest, so I'll do it first as a courtesy."
"As the guest does, the host does as he pleases." Chenlong also drank the wine in one gulp.
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Keep drinking."
Chenlong showed no sign of weakness: "Just drink."
Meng Qianqian covered her head, why do I feel that the murderous aura is getting stronger and stronger...
When the two of them went to pour wine at the same time, Meng Qianqian stood up and hugged the wine bottle: "Don't drink it yet. Let's finish talking about the business first before drinking."
Chenlong: "What's the business?"
Meng Qianqian asked: "What did you and the other Twelve Guards say at the Princess Mansion?"
one day ago.
Chenlong, Sishe, Ji Li, Weiyang, and Haizhu were sitting in the pavilion of the princess mansion. Weiyang's first sentence was: "Have you ever felt that Xiao Yinhu's archery posture looks very much like a human being?"
As soon as these words came out, not one of the Twelve Guards refuted.
They understood who Weiyang was talking about, but they felt a little ridiculous.
Weiyang continued: "As far as I know, Meng Xiaojiu only met Li Haiya once at the border, and Li Haiya passed the Yinhu Order to her. Don't you think it's too strange?"
Ji Li opened the folding fan and said, "Yes, so we don't recognize her!"
Sishe: "Don't make trouble."
Ji Li pouted.
Weiyang said: "She must be related to Marshal Chu. No one will doubt this, right?"
Si She said: "But as far as I know, Marshal Chu has no sister, and it is impossible for him to have such an illegitimate daughter. Could it be Mrs. Chu's natal relative?"
Ji Li was rarely serious: "Xiao Yinhu is proficient in the Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate. It is not impossible."
Wei Yang said to Chen Long: "Chen Long, you have a good relationship with her, why don't you investigate her."

Ji Li was unhappy: "Who said they have a good relationship? I am Xiao Yinhu's neighbor!"
No one paid any attention to him.
Si She said, "I originally wanted to ask Chen Long something. Since everyone is here, I'll ask them all. Where were you all that night when the Chu family was exterminated more than six years ago?"
Ji Li shook the folding fan: "Li Haiya and I went to Beiliang to perform a mission. Didn't I tell you earlier?"
Weiyang said: "I received the order from the generalissimo to arrest Beiliang Xizuo in the city."
Hai Zhu said: "Me too."
Si She: "Okay, second question, who conveyed the order to you? I hope you will answer it at the same time. This is related to whether I want to be your enemy."
Ji Li raised his fingers in cooperation: "Three, two, one."
The three of them said in unison: "Shenhou."
Ji Li clicked his tongue: "Oh no, now there is no proof."
Weiyang asked in confusion: "What do you mean by this?"
Ji Li waved the folding fan handsomely and said, "It means there was a traitor among the Twelve Guards. Someone deliberately took you away that night, causing the Chu family to be destroyed."
Wei Yang frowned: "Shen Hou is a traitor?"
Ji Li smiled casually: "Maybe you are using Shenhou to lie."
Weiyang said displeased: "What evidence do you have to prove that we lied?"
Ji Li spread his hands: "That's why I said, there is no proof until death."
Weiyang said: "Is it because the three of us have defected to the Prime Minister?"
Ji Li closed the folding fan: "Huh? I didn't say that, you said it yourself."
Si She asked, "Why did you seek refuge with the Prime Minister? He might be the murderer of the Chu family."
Weiyang said indifferently: "Whether Xiang Guo is a murderer or not has nothing to do with us. I lost the bet to the Generalissimo, and I accepted it. We agreed that if he lived for one day, we would sacrifice our lives for him for one day, but we didn't say that after he died, We have to avenge him. From the moment he dies, the contract between us ends."
"Now that it's over, it doesn't matter who we worked for. It's enough that we didn't kill the person."
Ji Li said: "Hey, we have been through life and death together. Isn't it a bit too cold-blooded for you to say that?"
Sishe stood up and said, "If I find out that you are traitors, I will kill you with my own hands."
Weiyang frowned and looked at him: "Sishe, you don't want to avenge Marshal Chu, do you? Why did you do this?"
Si She's melancholy blue eyes looked at the distant sky: "Because he promised to do something for me, and no one can do it except him. Now that he is dead, my hope is gone. The one who ruined everything People need to pay the price.”
Chenlong omitted several people's guesses about her and only started with the truth about the night when Sishe started to interrogate her.
Meng Qianqian looked at Chen Long who was lying on the table, drunk and unconscious, and murmured to himself: "What did you promise Si She? Did I promise it, or was it Chu Nan who promised it?"
"What are you mumbling about?"
Lu Yuan glanced at her casually.
"It's nothing." Meng Qianqian smiled slightly, "The governor is still a good drinker! My brother is drunk, I helped him in."
"Brother, brother, I don't see you calling me so frequently." Lu Yuan muttered in a low voice and said angrily, "Call Yu Zichuan over later."
Meng Qianqian thought for a while: "That's okay."
From this point of view, Weiyang and Haizhu were really instigated by Prime Minister Xun to rebel.
Prime Minister Xun, do you not only want to get the Miao territory, but also want to swallow up the Twelve Guards? (End of chapter)
