As soon as the Jiang siblings left, Wen Jianzhou put away his inappropriate playful smile and looked at Huo Jingchen seriously.
"It's okay. If you don't come back, I will tell my uncle about this."
"Did anything happen while I was away?" Huo Jingchen nodded slightly and motioned to the soldiers guarding the door to stay away.
Hearing this, Wen Jianzhou looked around cautiously and made sure that no one was eavesdropping. Then he whispered: "King Xiang sent someone to deliver a gift to congratulate you on your promotion to General Weiyuan."
"But the person who gave the gift was actually Chen Wen. He hinted in his words that he wanted to meet you in person to express Prince Xiang's affection for you."
After saying that, Wen Jianzhou raised his eyebrows proudly and said with a smile: "But who am I, this young master, who can let him succeed so easily?"
"As early as the day you disappeared, I ordered Li Tiezhu to pretend that you were lying injured in bed."
"That blind man Chen Wen was easily fooled by me."
Huo Jingchen ignored Wen Jianzhou's look for praise, glanced at the smiling person with his tail raised to the sky, and wisely remained silent.
Wen Jianzhou didn't care about his indifference, he was used to it anyway, and continued: "King Xin also sent someone to give you a gift, but he didn't ask to see you. He put down the gift and left."
"He also left you a letter. It was just a polite message, saying that we would discuss it later when we returned to Beijing. On the surface, there was no problem."
Huo Jingchen thought of the man in black who had fought with him before, and silently took out an arrow from his sleeve.
Wen Jianzhou immediately picked it up and looked at it carefully.
There was nothing on the black arrow, nothing could be seen at all.
"What does this arrow mean?" Wen Jianzhou really didn't understand what he meant and asked in confusion.
Huo Jingchen took the arrow directly, played with it, and explained patiently.
"Most of Dasheng's arrowheads are in the shape of a willow leaf, with a thin tip and a tapered tail. But this arrow has a thicker and longer arrowhead with a cylindrical tail."
"Furthermore, in recent years, the war between Dasheng and Beidi has continued, and a large iron mine was discovered in Xuzhou a few years ago. The iron source is sufficient, and the speed of weapon replacement has been greatly accelerated. In recent years, the Dasheng soldiers have mostly used weapons made of new iron, while the old iron
.”
"Beidi!" Wen Jianzhou instantly understood Huo Jingchen's unfinished words and punched the table in anger, which made him scream in pain.
"But there is little iron ore in Beidi, and they have always only used conical arrows. This is obviously the old arrow type we gave up before."
Wen Jianzhou was still puzzled, and suddenly he had an idea and thought of Chen Wen, the former Prime Minister of Jingzhou!
"Chen Wen! It's him!"
"King Xiang!"
When Wen Jianzhou thought that Huo Jingchen had not been defeated at the hands of the enemy, but was framed by his own people, he was trembling with anger. His handsome face, which was always full of smiles, now looked extremely ferocious.
"Very good! Very good! For the sake of Jingzhou's military power, the majestic prince actually resold weapons, colluded with foreigners, and killed Zhongliang!"
"I will definitely punish this rebellious minister and traitor severely!"
Seeing Wen Jianzhou who was so angry that he was losing his mind, Huo Jingchen was moved by his friend's defense, but he knew that the matter involved a lot and it was not advisable to act rashly.
"Calm down first. These are just our speculations. We haven't found any evidence yet. If there is no ironclad evidence, the Holy One will just lightly expose this matter."
"Don't forget, Prince Xiang is my biological son, and my mother-in-law is also Concubine Zhang who has been favored by the Sixth Palace for many years."
"My maternal ancestor was a powerful prime minister, and many high-ranking officials in my family were well paid and very powerful."
Wen Jianzhou laughed angrily and said angrily: "Is it possible that the Wen family and the Huo family are vegetarians, so we allow them to bully us like this!"
Huo Jingchen smiled lightly and said domineeringly: "Of course not. If you dare to hurt me, Huo Jingchen, no matter he is the prime minister or the prince, you must pay the price!"
Seeing that his friend was not dizzy, Wen Jianzhou breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "That's okay! I thought you were going to swallow this breath!"
"Leave this matter to me and I'll send someone to check it out."
"King Xin, check it out too." Huo Jingchen thought of something and quickly added.
Although Wen Jianzhou didn't understand why he suspected King Xin, he knew that Huo Jingchen wouldn't make a mistake, so he agreed.
"By the way, who helped you disguise yourself? Give this person to me quickly. He is a rare talent! He is simply a natural detective."
After the important matter was over, Wen Jianzhou finally had the time to study the makeup on Huo Jingchen's face. He was so curious that he couldn't help but reach out, wanting to touch it and identify the authenticity.
But he was knocked away by Huo Jingchen's ruthless palm, causing Wen Jianzhou to look at him with an aggrieved and accusatory look.
"Miss Jiang did it." Huo Jingchen knew that if he didn't tell Wen Jianzhou the answer, he would probably annoy him to death, so in order to keep his ears clear, he had to tell him the truth.
But Huo Jingchen didn't want him to disturb Jiang Hexi, so he warned: "You are a man, so don't disturb other girls' homes."
Wen Jianzhou said "Oh!" in a long voice and glanced meaningfully at Huo Jingchen, who was also a man in front of him.
This prompted Huo Jingchen to kick him, but Wen Jianzhou, who was well prepared, nimbly dodged it and ran away immediately.
For a moment, the slender blue figure gradually disappeared under the arch of the courtyard, leaving only the man's hearty and ruthless ridicule in the air.
