He glanced at the figure standing by the river with his hands behind his hands, lowered his voice, and muttered quietly.
"How could you not take it seriously? This is related to the reputation of our Dali Temple..."
Duan Chuiwen tilted his head and said slightly surprised: "The desire to win or lose is suddenly so strong?"
"It's necessary. It's a rare opportunity to show off. Why don't you give that kid some color? Let's not talk about the distant ones, but the close ones. General Li has devoted himself to Daxia for most of his life. If it weren't for the prince, he could suddenly
Are you going to retire and return to your hometown and die in depression? Besides, he clearly knows that you have a good relationship with the second prince, but he still says those weird things, obviously he has no good intentions..."
"Lee Si."
After giving his subordinate a warning look, he looked towards the river. He didn't know what he thought of. Complex emotions surged in his eyes. Then he lowered his eyes and said calmly: "The minister does not speak against the king. Remember, he is the future emperor."
.”
"oh……"
"By the way, I asked you to go with those two cronies. Did you find out anything?"
Upon hearing this, Capt. Li was completely stunned. He lowered his head and said, "No, it took me a long time to get close. Let alone pry open my mouth, I didn't even give him a proper look."
He patted the other party's shoulder: "As expected."
"..." Thank you, without being comforted.
While he was talking, a homing pigeon fluttered its wings and landed in front of Duan Chuiwen.
Unfolding the letter paper, there is only one word: yes.
"What do you mean?" Li Si came over and took a look.
"An earring was found near the pier and it was confirmed that it belonged to Miss Gao."
"Huh? Then..."
Li Captou was about to do something when he saw the person next to him suddenly stood up and rushed towards the river bank like a gust of wind.
"Your Highness."
Along with the majestic deep voice, Xia Houzhi's wrist was pressed hard, and the thing in the palm of his hand fell to the ground.
Snap.
It's a small flat stone.
She raised her head, her expression surprised and innocent.
"Brother Duan, do you want to compete with me again?"
Duan Chuiwen was slightly startled and quickly let go of his hand.
After a moment of silence, he bent down to pick up the stone, brushed off the dust on the surface with his sleeves, put it in the palm of his hand and handed it over.
"This is one of the crime scenes. Please don't touch the things here."
"OK."
Xia Houzhi nodded happily, still looking very talkative.
At this time, a catcher hurriedly came to report: "Sir, some villagers said that they did see a cargo ship heading downstream at 4 o'clock this morning."
pier.
"The folk woman was washing vegetables over there. It was not very bright at that time, and the lake was foggy. I saw a big shadow in the distance. That boat is not small." The middle-aged woman pointed and gestured.
.
"Yes, very big." Another person agreed.
"What else did you see? The features on the ship, or the words and patterns on the flag?" Li Si asked.
"...No, I can't see clearly."
"Did you hear anything?" Duan Chuiwen said thoughtfully.
The two looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Okay, thank you both."
This was the first time for the villagers to meet such a friendly official, and they were simply flattered.
Before leaving, the woman said enthusiastically: "Although our pier is small, the advantage is that it is in a good location. Along this river, you can reach Bianzhou in less than two days, which is twice as fast as traveling from other places."
Not only that, I heard that Bianzhou has many beautiful scenery that are completely different from those in the capital!"
Bianzhou.
Point your fingertips on the map.
Duan Chuiwen looked at the sun gradually setting on the horizon and frowned.
