Chapter 590 House Arrest

Fang Xingzhai saw that the jars of wine Qi Feng had received were not poisonous, and sneered: "Your Highness, even if it is not poisonous, it cannot prove that this matter has nothing to do with them. Their own wine is not poisonous, and it cannot be said that the two jars of wine given to You are not poisonous. The little prince was poisoned by someone, so he must not let them go before the real murderer was found."

Qi Feng couldn't help but argue: "Our Marquis said that if we give you poisoned wine at this time, the methods are so inferior. Don't we want to live? Who knows if there are some under Your Highness who have ulterior motives and want to take this opportunity to poison Your Highness!"

"Stop!" Qi Ning shouted in a deep voice and bowed to the prince, "Your Highness, this matter is of great importance. To say something that should not be said, if the real murderer cannot be found, this matter may cause war between us and us to meet each other. The good relationship that we have maintained over the years will also be destroyed."

Fang Xingzhai said coldly: "Are you threatening us?"

Qi Ning sneered: "Mr. Fang, you are aggressive. Do you have to determine this matter to us? What I said to Your Highness is just a frank word, not a threat. It doesn't matter if you don't understand it. Your Highness is very clear and naturally understands it."

The prince looked solemn and pondered for a moment, and finally said, "Waiting for Jinyi, I must find out the truth about this matter. You tell your subordinates to stay on the Wild Boar Slope and not to leave. You are wronged and wait for your tent in the palace." He ordered Situ Mingyue: "Situ, send orders, pack up, set off tomorrow morning and return to the capital."

When the King of Linzi was killed and such a major event occurred, the hunting naturally could not continue. Situ Mingyue agreed and came forward and said, "Mr. Marquis, please!"

Qi Ning frowned slightly, knowing that the other party was threatening him, and was surrounded by officers and soldiers of Dongqi. If he started, Qi Ning might not be able to fight out, but his subordinates would definitely not be able to escape. Even more than 200 people stationed in Wild Boar Slope would be in trouble.

Wu Dalin frowned and was about to argue, Qi Ning raised his hand and said, "Captain Wu, you lead the people back to the wild boar slope first. Without my instructions, you should not act rashly. Your Highness is wise and naturally he will not wrongly accuse the good people."

"Mr. Marquis!"

"No need to say too much." Qi Ning said in a deep voice, and left directly with Situ Mingyue. Several prince guards were staring at each other. Wu Dalin and Qi Feng looked at each other, knowing that they must not be impulsive at this time. Now, under the surveillance of the Eastern Qi army, they returned to the wild boar forest.

No one expected such a result, and he dared not say much. The prince personally carried the corpse of the King of Linzi back to the cowhide tent, looking sad.

Officials and generals of Dongqi knew in their hearts that the King of Linzi had been with the prince since childhood. Although they were not born by the queen, they were half-brothers, but their relationship was very good. Although the King of Taishan was the eldest son, he was violent and had a bad relationship with his biological brother and prince. The prince and the King of Linzi seemed to be born by the same mother.

The prince of Linzi also learned horse riding and shooting skills from the prince. The king of Dongqi has five children. The king of Linzi is one year younger than Princess Tianxiang. Among the princes and princesses, he is the youngest, so many people in the palace also favor him. After the prince was appointed as the crown prince, he set up a prince's mansion. The prince's mansion was always in the prince's mansion. In the eyes of many people, although the prince and the prince were brothers, they sometimes looked like a father and son. The prince took great care of the prince.

When they went out to hunt in Beijing, the King of Linzi was entangled with the prince, but ended up with such a result. Everyone knew that the prince must be heartbroken.

Qi Ning was arranged in a separate small tent, so that she could truly calm down and consider the doubts.

Judging from the situation on the scene, the prince rewarded the imperial wine for a temporary purpose. Originally, the imperial wine was just a reward for Shitang, but the King of Linzi was not in the plan. At that time, the King of Linzi came forward by himself, so the purpose of the poisoned person would naturally not be the King of Linzi.

At first, Qi Ning really had doubts. Although the ten jars of fine wine pulled out from the Chu court came from the palace, it was prepared by the Ministry of Revenue. The wine was poisonous. Could it be that Dou Kui took the opportunity to kill him? If Dou Kui poisoned the wine and offered it to the king of Dongqi, once someone was poisoned, the people of Dongqi naturally would not cause trouble for Dou Kui, but would only cause trouble for his mission. Qi Ning was also in awe. When he was sure that the imperial wine he brought had not been poisoned, he immediately determined that the two jars of wine must be the people around the prince.

The murderer's purpose of poisoning may be to poison the prince, but it is not ruled out that the other party was to poison Shitang. The purpose of poisoning Shitang may not be to have any hatred with Shitang, but perhaps it is to frame the Chu delegation.

However, Qi Ning thought that before this, he had never had any contact with these people, and even the two countries of Dongqi and Nanchu did not have much hatred. Why did the other party frame the mission? If it was for him, then he wanted to deal with the Jinyi Qi family. If the Northern Han people were marrowing their hatred for the Jinyi Qi family, why did Nanchu have such hatred for the Jinyi Qi family?

Both generations of the Marquis of Jinyi Qi family fought against the Northern Han people, but never had any wars with the Eastern Qi people.

Qi Ning knew that the prince was obviously quite suspicious of this matter, otherwise he would never be so polite to himself when he lost his brother. This shows that Prince Dongqi is also a person who can control his emotions.

He suddenly realized that the prince ordered Fang Xingzhai to go and get wine. After the Linzi King was poisoned, Fang Xingzhai was extremely excited. Is there anything to say about this? If you say poisoning, Fang Xingzhai would obviously have a great chance.

Qi Ning pondered in the tent for a long time, and didn't know what the prince would do next, but one thing he understood was that before absolutely conclusive evidence, the people of Dongqi did not dare to act rashly on the mission. After all, the mission represented Nan Chu. The national strength of Chu was far above Dongqi. If there was no absolute evidence, just a hat was buckled, it would be impossible for Nan Chu to accept it.

The State of Chu did not fight with Dongqi, but was only concerned about the Northern Han Dynasty, not afraid of Dongqi. If the situation was forced, it would be fine if Chu did not launch a full-scale war against Dongqi and sent a group of troops to engage in a local war.

The people of Dongqi were scruples, so Qi Ning believed that before the other party could not provide strong evidence, he and the mission should still be very safe.

Thinking of the mission to Dongqi, before he arrived at the Lu royal city, there were many difficulties along the way, and strange things happened one after another. I just felt that it was really difficult to do something, so I couldn't help but sigh. After this sigh, Qi Ning was stunned, because after his long sigh, there seemed to be an echo, and the echo seemed to be the voice of a woman.

Qi Ning immediately stood up and looked around. The tent was not big, and the decorations inside were simple. Just a glance at it, and the situation inside could be seen at a glance.

He frowned, thinking that he seemed to be thinking too much, and there was hallucination in his mind. However, the sigh that followed him was quite clear, and he could even hear the voice of a woman. She was extremely strange and confused. Suddenly, he saw the tent being lifted up and walked in. However, it was a servant in blue. He lowered his head and brought a tray in. He didn't say anything. He walked to the side of the desk and placed the tray on the desk, but it was a pot of tea and two plates of snacks.

Qi Ning frowned and asked, "Who asked you to send it?"

The servant said, "Your Highness has ordered not to neglect the wait for the Brocade Clothing. This is the sending of a villain from Your Highness. If the marquis has any need, he can give orders at any time." Without saying much, he wanted to retreat. Qi Ning glanced at him and shouted, "Let's wait!"

The man lowered his head and said, "What else does the marquis have to give?"

"Are you a servant next to the prince?" Qi Ning asked, "Have you practiced martial arts?"

The man didn't look up and just said, "The villain is a traitor and has never practiced martial arts."

Qi Ning stared at his hand and said, "But your hand tells me that you have practiced for at least ten years." He suddenly stood up and said, "Why hide it?"

The man immediately retreated, turned around and walked out of the tent hurriedly. Qi Ning felt something was wrong, so he rushed forward and lifted the tent and went out. Before he could take two steps, he saw a cold light flashing. Two big swords blocked the front. Two soldiers intertwined their swords, staring at Qi Ning, and said in a deep voice: "Marty, your highness has an order, please rest in the tent and not leave."

Qi Ning glanced at him and saw seven or eight soldiers beside him, four soldiers holding spears, aiming at this side. Two of them stood far away, took the bow and arrow in their hands, and stared at him coldly.

Qi Ning frowned. With his martial arts, it was no problem to deal with these guards, but he was naturally not good at using force at this time. He glanced and saw that the blue-clothed servant had a back not far from the left. He raised his hand and said, "Catch that person, he has a problem."

Several people turned around, and the blue-clothed servant flashed and had already turned behind a tent. A soldier asked, "Who are you going to catch?"

Qi Ning sighed and said, "No one will catch me, just grab me." He thought that if you hadn't blocked and moved faster, the servant in the blue-clothed clothes would never be able to run away. However, in just a moment, the servant in the blue-clothed clothes opened a considerable distance, which showed that his foot speed was really not weak.

Several soldiers looked at each other, thinking that the waiter in the Brocade Clothing was speechless, could he be crazy?

Qi Ning pondered slightly and asked, "Someone entered the tent just now, can you see it?"

"It was His Highness the Crown Prince who sent someone to deliver food to the Marquis." A soldier said, "Did the Marquis say that there is something wrong with that man?"

Qi Ning glanced at the soldier and thought to himself that you are not stupid, but he couldn't explain it clearly to these soldiers, and said, "I want to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Your Highness is bathing and changing clothes for the little prince, and no one dares to disturb him." The soldier said: "If the marquis wants to see your prince, please wait a moment."
