Chapter 516 Tuoye Hid in the Vegetable Jar
Xie Mingxu was silent for a moment, planning to go out to buy wontons and wait for his sister to come back to eat.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the courtyard gate, he saw his third brother Xu Jingxi coming with a scroll of books.
Looking at his posture, it seemed that he was going to give it to Shen Ningning.
Xie Mingxu immediately said: "Third brother, you don't have to go. My younger sister has already gone out with my second brother."
When he said this, he looked at Xu Jingxi with a gentle look.
They were both brothers who were temporarily abandoned by their sisters.
They really sympathized with each other.
Unexpectedly, Xu Jingxi smiled, and his bamboo-colored robe made him look even taller than jade.
"Brother, you misunderstood. These are the ancient books about Changliu Kingdom that my younger sister asked me to find some time ago. I just found a few more books. They ran into them when they went out just now. My sister asked me to put them on her table."
After that, he bowed and turned to leave.
Xie Mingxu silently watched his back go away.
Well, now he understood that he was the only one in the family who was idle and could not help Ningning at all.
Shen Ningning and Xie Mingan returned to Langshan together.
At the door, the girl whispered a few words, and Xie Mingan raised his eyebrows.
He nodded and smiled: "I understand what you mean, just to scare him, simple."
Shen Ningning pursed her lips: "Stinky second brother..."
"Hmm?" Xie Mingan glanced over.
Shen Ningning remembered and immediately changed her words, smiling sweetly: "Good second brother~"
"That's right, what do you want to say?"
"Tuoye has not been completely scared by me. If you want to say something, don't be too deliberate, so as not to make him more alert."
Xie Mingan laughed twice: "Second brother, when I interrogated prisoners in Dali Temple, I often needed to scare and deceive at the same time to make the prisoners confess the truth. Don't worry, I am familiar with this job."
The brother and sister pushed the door and went in.
Unexpectedly, Tuoye was not in the room where he was resting.
Shen Ningning was surprised and asked the Black Wolf King: "Where are the people?"
The Black Wolf King's cold wolf eyes showed a hint of contempt for Tuoye.
It shook its head and pointed in a direction.
It turned out to be in the kitchen.
Shen Ningning hurriedly looked for it.
Grandma Qin now lives in Xiangyun Village. The spacious kitchen is spotless. Looking around, there is no one.
Until the Black Wolf King took his paw and patted the vegetable jar in the corner.
Xie Mingan opened the cover on it and was immediately shocked.
Shen Ningning was also stunned: "Why are you hiding here?"
Tuoye, an eight-foot man, curled up in the vegetable jar, even difficult to turn over, but dared not move.
I don't know how long he has been hiding here.
Seeing that it was Shen Ningning who came back, his pale face finally warmed up a little.
"Not long after you left, someone came into the house..." Tuoye said, his voice was shaking.
Shen Ningning frowned.
Someone came in?
It's impossible. Everyone in the area knows that this is Wolf Mountain.
Ordinary people don't dare to come up here to die, and familiar people won't come up casually.
"Is it my grandma?" Shen Ningning said so, and asked the second brother to pull Tuoye out first.
Tuoye stepped out barefoot with a cabbage leaf on his head, and his tall body was still shaking.
He looked at Shen Ningning's reaction and was sure that those who came were not arranged by her, nor did she deliberately scare him!
But the bad guys dared to come when there were so many wolves guarding the house.
Tuoye clenched his palms and bit his lips until they turned white.
"Xiu Mu must have arranged people to kill them all. Didn't you say it was absolutely safe here? Why did they dare to come in?"
Xie Ming'an glanced at him: "If I don't kill you, I will have to pay a higher price. What are the wolves afraid of? As long as they achieve their goal, they will never have any trouble again."
"Sister, I have already said that we can't keep such trouble at home. I will throw him to the street now, otherwise you will also be involved in their dispute. It's too dangerous."
Xie Ming'an began to act.
He grasped Tuoye's fear and grabbed Tuoye's collar and dragged him out.
Tuoye struggled desperately and hugged the stove with both hands: "I can't go out! If I go out, I will die!"
Xie Ming'an sneered and looked at him with his eyes down, without any ripples.
"You will die if you stay here. They have already come to our house. If they didn't succeed this time, they may come again next time. Do you want my sister to take risks with you?"
"Hurry up and leave, or I will break your hand and throw you out."
Tuoye looked at Shen Ningning hurriedly: "I have sent a pigeon to call my secret guards. When my people arrive, I will settle accounts with Xiumu immediately!"
"Princess Funing, you have already taken me in. Why don't you keep me for a few more days? I promise I won't cause you any trouble."
Shen Ningning seemed to hesitate and looked at her second brother pitifully.
Xie Mingan shook his head decisively: "No."
Shen Ningning had no choice but to say to Tuoye: "I can't help you. This is your family affair. You can handle it yourself."
Xie Mingan pulled Tuoye hard, and even his clothes made a "sizzling" sound and a tear appeared.
Tuoye grabbed a corner of the stove with white knuckles.
He said hastily: "This is not just our family affair, but a conspiracy against your Cangyun country!"
Oh? Finally she was willing to tell.
Shen Ningning curled her lips: "Nonsense, didn't you come here to find the Tenth Princess? Now you make up such a lie, I don't believe you."
Tuoye was anxious instead.
"It's true! I thought the Tenth Princess was a cover, but it turned out to be true. But Xiumu's ultimate plan is to use you to steal the secret formula of gunpowder."
As soon as these words came out, it was obvious that Tuoye really wanted to explain.
Xie Mingan let go, and Tuoye fell to the ground exhausted, gasping for breath.
His forehead was covered with cold sweat.
He glanced at Xie Mingan, wondering how this legendary Dali Temple Minister could still have so much strength.
Shen Ningning frowned: "Stealing gunpowder? How is it possible? It's simply a fantasy."
Tuoye took a breath for a while before sitting up and wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"Xiu Mu was praised by my father as the most astute and intelligent think tank in Changliu Kingdom. As long as he wanted to do something, he never failed."
"Why do you think you broke up with that Qi Xiuwei? This was all his handiwork."
He took the initiative to explain how Xiu Mu planned to conquer Cangyun Kingdom step by step.
Shen Ningning was shocked after hearing the plan.
Xiu Mu was more cunning than she thought.
He knew that Cangyun Country had just experienced many disasters, so the spiritual pillars in the hearts of the people were nothing more than Shen Ningning and the emperor.
Now the prince's illness seemed to be stabilized, but in fact it would continue to relapse.
But by then, Changliu Country would not easily take out the Zhentianzhu to help.
Xiumu started with Shen Ningning and made her break up with her friends. The essential purpose was to shake Shen Ningning's mood.
"If nothing unexpected happens, the next step will be to arrange Qi Xiuwei to come to you to pretend to reconcile, and take advantage of your guilt to trick you into taking out the secret recipe for gunpowder."
Shen Ningning pursed her pink lips.
It was true that she was a little surprised, but through what Tuoye said, she discovered a secret.
I'm afraid that even Tuoye didn't notice it.
