Chapter 3459 Girl's Laughter
Chen Bi Ri frowned and thought for a long time, then shook his head and said, "This matter is not that simple. Why he went is one question; he died, but if he said something nonsense before he died, I'm afraid..."
Chen Wenxiong sneered and said, "Uncle, there is no evidence after death."
There is no evidence after death.
Chen Bi Ri's heart skipped a beat when he heard these four words. He looked up at his nephew and asked, "What do you mean?"
Chen Wenxiong said, "No matter what he said, he's already dead. Can the words of a dead person be counted?"
“…”
"Besides, even if the people of Yan heard what he said before he died, what good would it do? He is a Yan countryman. Can Your Majesty trust the people of Yan instead of you, my uncle?"
Chen Biri's eyes lit up.
He said, "You have a point."
Chen Wenxiong continued, "So, uncle, don't worry at all. If His Majesty comes and really asks, we will firmly declare that it was the Yan people who murdered your uncle and planned this assassination. When the time comes, no matter what the Yan people say, it will only be their excuses. The more outrageous their stories are, the less likely Your Majesty will believe them."
"Okay, okay, okay."
Chen Bi Ri said "good" three times in a row, looked up at his nephew, his eyes full of appreciation and satisfaction, and nodded, "Very good."
This nephew is so thoughtful, and he finally deserves his careful cultivation over the years.
His chest ached slightly, and he gasped twice more as he pressed his hand against it. Chen Wenxiong hurriedly tried to help him lie down, but Chen Biri waved his hand to stop him and asked, "By the way, when will His Majesty arrive?"
Chen Wenxiong said, "They should be arriving soon. It takes less than a month to travel from Daluo City to Doubei Town. If they haven't arrived yet, I'm afraid they were delayed along the way."
At this point, they were silent.
They had actually seen the absurdity of the King of Yue. Even though they had received the news that the Prime Minister had been assassinated at the border more than a month ago and had to rush over from Daluo City in person, they didn't know how long they would be delayed on the road.
Not to mention sightseeing, even seeing a beautiful girl is enough to make him unable to walk.
Chen Biri couldn't help but sigh.
Chen Wenxiong glanced at him carefully. Seeing that his lips were dry, he walked over and personally brewed a cup of tea for him. He sighed and said, "Brother, you're really something. He serves His Majesty and should have advised His Majesty properly. No matter what, he should have rushed over to see such a serious matter as his uncle's assassination. How could he let His Majesty be delayed on the road?"
Chen Bi Ri took two sips of tea from his hand to moisten his throat before saying, "Your eldest brother can't be blamed for this."
Chen Wenxiong didn't say anything and put the teacup on the small table beside him.
Chen Bi Ri moved to lean against the headboard and said, "He's also concerned that we still need to deal with that person. If His Majesty comes too early, and the matter isn't handled properly, wouldn't that expose his true identity?"
Chen Wenxiong immediately laughed and said, "Uncle is right, it is my nephew who is confused."
Chen Bi Ri glanced at him again before saying, "I personally nurtured you and your elder brother. You are brothers, so remember to help each other. If you two don't trust each other, what can you accomplish?"
Chen Wenxiong laughed and said, "Uncle, you're worrying too much. How could I not trust my own brother?"
Chen Bi Ri said, "That's right."
Just as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. Chen Wenxiong frowned slightly and turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"
The voice of Ding Ji, Chen Biri's trusted attendant, came from outside the door. He said, "Sir, Second Young Master, the news from the front says that His Majesty will arrive in Doubei Town tomorrow."
"oh?"
Both people in the room were shocked. They had just finished talking when the King of Yue was actually about to arrive. Chen Wenxiong's face showed joy, and he said with a smile, "Great, I didn't expect His Majesty to arrive so soon. Then we should also--"
As he spoke, he glanced at Chen Biri.
After all, Chen Biri had served the King of Yue for so many years, so he was much more calm and steady. He thought for a moment and said, "Immediately issue orders to impose a curfew throughout Doubei Town and prepare to welcome His Majesty."
"yes."
Ding Ji took the order and immediately turned around and went down.
Chen Bi Ri thought for a moment and lowered his voice, "The news from Yan Country must be kept secret. Your Majesty must not be informed until he arrives in Doubei Town."
Chen Wenxiong thought about it, then immediately came to his senses and said with a smile, "Nephew understands."
After saying that, he also withdrew.
When Chen Biri was the only one left in the room, he sat leaning against the headboard. Although his face was pale and his breath was unstable, his eyes were filled with gloom. He sneered, "Two emperors have arrived at the border. In this situation, are you still afraid that a war will not break out? Xiahou Jiu, I will show you who has the final say in Yue Kingdom!"
The day passed quickly.
Early the next morning, before daybreak, Chen Wenxiong brought his men to the village entrance to set up a battlement to welcome the King of Yue. Although Doubei Town was only a small town, it was located on the border, adjacent to Yan State, and with the trade exchanges over the years, it had gained a lot of money. The town had expanded more than twice. After Chen Biri bought a house here, the town became even more prosperous. The road at the head of the town was built wide and smooth, and the two stone lions were mighty and majestic, looking quite majestic.
At this moment, colorful flags were flying at the entrance of the town, and the welcoming people had already lined up in two rows, looking forward to it.
However, I waited from dawn until noon.
Although the winter sun is not as scorching as the summer sun, it is still a bit hot. In addition, there is no shade above everyone's heads, so Chen Wenxiong is sweating all over. He keeps wiping the sweat from his forehead and stretching his neck to look ahead.
Finally, when some people were almost fainting from the sun, a team finally appeared at the other end of the long road.
It’s the king’s team!
Everyone was overjoyed and breathed a sigh of relief. They saw that the team was also lined up in an orderly manner, with two rows of cavalry leading the way in front, and a large carriage in the middle, the carriage was as big as a small house.
As the team slowly approached, Chen Wenxiong immediately saw his elder brother, Chen Wenxiao, who was riding a horse beside the carriage. He was also another nephew that Chen Biri had carefully cultivated.
He is of the same age and looks as Chen Wenxiong, but his clothes are more fancy.
There was also an unfathomable depth in the eyes that were slightly narrowed in the sunlight.
He saw his brothers standing in the crowd and nodded slightly. Chen Wenxiong also nodded calmly.
Soon, the convoy arrived.
Everyone immediately knelt down to welcome the king, but the carriage was silent, without a sound at all.
Chen Wenxiong frowned slightly and looked up subconsciously, only to see the curtain hanging in front of the carriage sway slightly, and then a girl's sweet laughter flew out from inside.
