Chapter 33 Elder Haoyue
At the same time, there were two middle-aged men with ordinary appearances who followed the four men, dressed very ordinary, and looked like ordinary guards.
But Chu Mo felt a little moved in his heart, remembering that Nayi had said before that there were two guards in the Yuanguan realm around Elder Haoyue, who were inseparable from each other. I guess... they were these two people.
Looking at the dress of Elder Haoyue and his son, Chu Mo felt an eye-opening feeling.
On this grassland, he met some vulgar men before. Even Nayi, although her life is extremely beautiful, her dress is completely in the grassland style, with many ornaments on her head and body.
When you walk, you jingle.
The grassland people Chu Mo imagined should be like this.
But after seeing Elder Haoyue and his three sons, Chu Mo suddenly felt a little confused, as if he felt like he was returning to Daxia.
Chu Mo looked at Pang Zhongyuan. Sure enough, after Elder Haoyue appeared, an unnatural flashed across Pang Zhongyuan's face in an instant. But then, he returned to normal, stood up with a smile, and looked at Elder Haoyue with a little respect in his eyes.
Nayi and Brother Lie all stood up and greeted Elder Haoyue with a smile.
Princess Baolian was the last one to get up, and her tone was very plain, not like facing her husband. Looking at Elder Haoyue who was walking over, she said lightly: "Why are you here?"
Elder Haoyue smiled slightly, then nodded to Pang Zhongyuan beside him: "Mr. Pang, we are meeting again!"
Pang Zhongyuan bowed to Elder Haoyue: "I have seen Elder Haoyue below!"
"Haha, don't be so polite, everyone is old friends!" Elder Haoyue smiled cheerfully, and then looked at Princess Baolian with a doting look on her face: "Our nieces and nephews are here, can I just come and have a look?"
As he said that, he turned around and said to the three young people behind him: "Isn't I here to see the princess and the third prince?"
Although the rules in the grassland royal court are not as many as those in Daqi and Daxia, the old and the superiors are the same.
There was no reluctance on the faces of the three young men. They all came forward with a smile on their faces to greet Nayi and Brother Lie. Nayi and Brother Lie also returned the greeting with a smile, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Chu Mo's danger to Elder Haoyue was increased a little more. Just looking at this scene, he could not imagine the cold attitude Bardo had towards them before.
"Did Nabado treat Nayi with that attitude because he was full?"
Obviously it is impossible!
Then, I can only say that Elder Haoyue... is too cunning and too good at disguising himself.
His three sons are not bad at all!
However, Nayi and Lie Ge... are not inferior to each other.
This made Chu Mo feel a little emotional. Children born in this family are indeed born to act and can disguise their true emotions in the blink of an eye.
Elder Haoyue's arrival made the atmosphere in the banquet hall a little dull. However, Elder Haoyue himself did not realize it and asked someone to change the table of dishes and drink with Pang Zhongyuan with a smile.
During this period, he raised his glass toast the knights who protected Nayi all the way.
"Thank you for escorting the princess and princes along the way. Thank you for your hard work!" Elder Haoyue stood up and held a big bowl: "I'll do this bowl of wine first!"
All the knights were all very kind. Seeing Elder Haoyue like this, they stood up and drank the wine in the bowl.
"You are all good men on the grassland, all passionate men! Don't let go just because I am here. Just think this is your home! Everyone can do whatever you want!" Elder Haoyue signaled Kongwan to everyone, and then sat down with a smile.
The atmosphere in the hall gradually returned to its previous enthusiasm.
Chu Mo's heart was cold. He secretly observed the expressions of Nayi, Pang Zhongyuan and Princess Baolian.
Sure enough, those people were all very smart, and deep in their eyes, they were all a little cold and angry.
"Although Elder Haoyue is the landlord here, there is nothing wrong with entertaining everyone. However, the words he said and his attitude clearly conveyed a signal to everyone..." Chu Mo said in his heart: He is... wanting to be the king of this grassland!
"And, since he came in, he has not mentioned a word about the king and the queen..."
"It is said that the queen of the king has always been very good to Elder Haoyue. This person... is so cold and thin."
Before, I really underestimated him!
Thinking of some things recorded in the secret letter on the envoy of Daqi before, Chu Mo suddenly took a breath in his heart: There were three or four people on the secret letter, all of whom were from the elder Haoyue tribe...
Chu Mo thought he shouldn't know about this. But judging from his performance today, such a shrewd person shouldn't be aware of such a thing.
"Can you say... Elder Haoyue is the most secret and powerful chess piece that Daqi has laid on the grassland?"
Although it was just speculation, Chu Mo was still shocked by this possibility. Grandpa once said that the game and competition between senior officials were full of wisdom and conspiracy, and ordinary people could not understand what was going on until they died.
Only when the trump card is opened can you know the truth of everything. Sometimes, the trump card is opened, but you still can't see the truth!
"It seems that after you go back, you will have to study the secret letter again." Chu Mo said in his heart.
The banquet ended very late. Elder Haoyue and his group did not stay here, but led the team away directly.
Under the guidance of a special person, Chu Mo returned to the room. Not long after, Pang Zhongyuan came to the door.
Mr. Pang, who drank a lot tonight, looked a little drunk and his tongue was a little big. When he saw Chu Mo, he apologized first: "I'm sorry, I've been wronged tonight. In theory... Mr. Lin is the one who should be sitting at the first table!"
Chu Mo waved his hand: "We didn't agree before that my identity cannot be exposed. Otherwise, the next plan will not be carried out."
Pang Zhongyuan waved his hand and said bitterly: "Things... may have changed a little!"
"What?" Chu Mo looked at Pang Zhongyuan and frowned slightly.
Pang Zhongyuan took a sip of water and said in a deep voice: "Elder Haoyue... has a big problem!"
"Huh?" Chu Mo glanced at Pang Zhongyuan. He had this guess tonight, but he didn't know what Pang Zhongyuan was inferred.
"When I was drinking just now, I deliberately tried Elder Haoyue's three sons. Those three guys... The eldest is a smiling tiger with deep scheming! The second brother is gloomy all day long and has few words. Only the third brother, who is self-proclaimed and frivolous, is the least scheming."
"So, among those three boys, only the third one is the easiest to deal with."
Pang Zhongyuan was a little verbose because he drank too much. Chu Mo didn't urge him and listened patiently.
"I realized from the third brother's words that Bardo was blocking it today, not because of the instructions of Elder Haoyue, it should have come from his eldest son, Haoyue Gemu!"
"This incident made Elder Haoyue Lei Ting angry and scolded Haoyue Gemu fiercely."
Pang Zhongyuan showed a sneer on his drunken face: "Although that boy Haoyue Geshui only showed half a sentence, how could he escape my eyes?"
"This matter was not instructed by Elder Haoyue. Then, he got furious because of Haoyue Gemu. There must be something wrong with it!"
"Because he is not Bao Lian! He doesn't like Nayi and Lie that much!"
"He got angry because he was afraid that Haoyue Gemu's actions would arouse our vigilance!"
"That's why he showed up with his three sons at the dinner party, and all looked happy when they saw their relatives, without mentioning anything about what happened in the royal court... This is clearly numbing us!"
"But his sons are still a little tender. How could they escape my eyes when they pretended to be happy?"
Pang Zhongyuan sneered: "First he cursed Haoyue Gemu, and then came to attend the banquet in person. This is not the original character of Elder Haoyue! I know him, and there is only one reason for him to do this! That is, this guy has an extreme ambition and wants to be the king of this grassland!"
"You mean... he surrendered to Daqi?" Chu Mo asked.
"Seal to Da Qi?" Pang Zhongyuan shook his head: "This possibility may be a little bit, but it is very slim. Even if he has a connection with Da Qi, he is just using each other. In this person's bones, he is very proud, so he is unlikely to surrender to Da Qi."
Chu Mo thought for a while and asked tentatively: "Then... do you think there will be chess pieces set up by Da Qi among Elder Haoyue's men?"
Pang Zhongyuan frowned slightly, rubbed his head with his hands, and said, "There is still a possibility."
"So... what are our previous plans?" Chu Mo looked at Pang Zhongyuan: "Is it delayed temporarily?"
"You have also seen the situation here. It is much more complicated than what we think, and you need to see clearly... So, that plan should indeed be temporarily postponed. This will make you feel aggrieved by Mr. Lin, and you will stay here for a while." Pang Zhongyuan said a little apologetically.
"It's okay, I don't have anything important to do anyway." Chu Mo said softly: "It's right to be cautious!"
At the same time, Princess Baolian and Nayi were also talking about this in her room.
"Aunt, why do I think something is wrong with my uncle?" Na leaned against the head of the bed, feeling a little drunk. Although she didn't drink much, she couldn't hold back for a long time. Although the three brothers didn't drink much, they all drank with her a lot.
"Of course something was wrong with him!" Princess Baolian sneered: "After your father passed away, he had a strange intention. He first asked me, "God of Jin and Yin should kill him if he did such a careless thing?"
"What do you say, aunt?" Nayi asked.
"Of course I said I should kill!" Princess Baolian said, sighing: "Those two children are considered to be the ones I have grown up. They were both good when I was a child. I didn't expect that after I grew up, I would do such a careless thing."
"Your uncle asked me again, what should I do if I kill Brother Jin and Brother Yin and avenge the king?"
Princess Baolian sneered: "I understood what he meant as soon as I heard it, and told him that the grassland royal court will always be the king's lineage. Brother Jin and Yin are dead, isn't there any brother Lie?"
"He also said that Brother Lie was young and could not convince the public at all. I told him that Brother Lie was young and Nayi! There was no queen on our grassland!"
Nayi shook her head: "I definitely can't..."
"Why can't you?" Princess Baolian took Nayi's hand and said, "Your personality is the most similar to me. You are both prosperous and powerful, dare to think and do, and you are smarter than me, why can't you?"
"It's too early to say this..." Nayi said with some loss: "If my uncle really had that thought, who could stop him in the whole grassland?"
Princess Baolian sighed, hesitated for a moment before whispering: "Do you know, your parents' death is actually...it has a direct relationship with him!"
