The disabled king and medical concubine are pampered

Chapter 39 The snipe and clam fight, the fisherman wins

Gu Yuan didn't understand what he was doing while saying sorry to her while looking at the side.

And being stared at Xiao Chiyu just drank tea quietly, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

Xiao Yun finally couldn't hold back anymore, stood up and said, "I almost forgot that Tian Guang once went to war with King Yi. Since you are a member of King Yi, do you also know him?"

Xiao Chiyu raised his head indifferently: "I guess we know each other."

"So you have arranged all this long ago, and you have known that Miss Gu will not be in danger. The reason why you didn't tell me is to lure me into the game?!"

Gu Yuan looked at Xiao Chiyu in surprise.

Xiao Chiyu slowly put down the tea cup in his hand, and nodded calmly: "I mentioned it before, Mr. Iron Fan does not have a disciple named Situ. And if I remember correctly, Mr. Iron Fan's surname is Situ, and his name is Situ Photo. It’s just that most people in the Jianghu only know their names but not their names.”

Situ Yun smiled wryly: "As expected, I still underestimated you."

His master's name is indeed rarely known, so he dared to use his surname to walk on the rivers and lakes.

He didn't expect that the person in front of him was not only good at calculating, but also knew many things about Jianghu, so he couldn't hide it at all.

"It's a pity that you followed the wrong master."

Throwing down these words, Xiao Yun turned and left.

But the next moment, a teacup was thrown at him: "Where do you want to go, Brother Yun?"

Xiao Yun caught it with his backhand, snorted coldly and said, "Now that you know my identity, do you still want to keep me by your side?"

Xiao Chiyu stood up and walked towards him: "So what if you know your identity? You and I are not enemies."

"The way is different, so we don't conspire with each other. Since you are King Yi's lackey, we are destined not to be friends."

Xiao Chiyu frowned slightly: "Yi Wang's running dog? Oh, I would like to know, Yi Wang has devoted himself to the country and fought on the battlefield for many years. Why did he become the person you despise?"

"Do you really not know, or are you pretending to be confused with me? Although I have been with Master since I was a child, I don't know about court affairs. But in the year since I came back, I heard more than once that King Yi ruled out dissidents and formed a party for personal gain." What’s more, he also opposed my Duan Palace everywhere, not only oppressing the court, but also secretly doing things behind his back, trying to assassinate me several times.”

Xiao Chiyu lowered his head and smiled: "As far as I know, King Yi fought on the battlefield for many years. He didn't come back from the border until he was assassinated more than a year ago, his legs were crippled and his right face was destroyed. And those people he eliminated after he came back , are all those who have colluded with other countries or corrupted the law, and they really deserve what they deserve. As for the confrontation with Prince Duan's mansion, wasn't King Duan the one who started it first?"

"You are talking nonsense and turning black and white. It seems that you have become deeply corrupt and hopeless."

"Brother Yun, you have to get evidence for what you say. Do you have evidence for what you said?"

Xiao Yun choked up.

"No, your master has always been impeccable in his work. If there is evidence, I must have already presented it to the Holy Majesty, and I will not investigate it myself."

Xiao Chiyu wandered back and forth beside him, and when he heard this, he suddenly turned around and said, "Since that's the case, then if I say that King Duan has always been in charge of the government, seeing that King Yi's return threatened his status, he gathered cronies to spread rumors Framed, trying to eradicate King Yi. Do you believe this?"

Xiao Yun's eyes flickered, he stared fixedly at him, and didn't speak for a while.

Gu Yuan watched the play with great enthusiasm, and seeing that they had stopped talking, she tapped on the table lightly with her chin propped on her hand, and said, "Go on."

Both looked at her at the same time.

She had no choice but to stand up and said, "I saw you arguing, and suddenly thought of a sentence, and I don't know if it's appropriate."

Xiao Chiyu said with great interest: "What are you talking about? Let's hear it."

Gu Yuan chuckled, and slid her fingers back and forth between the two of them, saying: "When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman wins. I think you two are like the snipe and the clam, you bite each other tightly, and you can't compete with each other." , it made me, who was watching the battle next to me, watch it lively."

After a pause, he continued: "Of course, this metaphor is not so appropriate. After all, I'm not a fisherman, and I can't get any benefits."

Xiao Chiyu said with a smile: "What a snipe and clam fight, the fisherman wins. I just don't know who will be the biggest winner after both King Duan and King Yi are injured."

Hearing this, Xiao Yun also became suspicious.

Had he been wrong all along?

Seeing him lost in thought, Xiao Chiyu continued: "I have seen that totem you have seen before."

"What?!" Xiao Yun suddenly looked at him.

"That was two years ago. I saw it when I followed King Yi to fight abroad. I didn't pay attention to it at the time. But after thinking about it carefully, the person who assassinated King Yi was very likely to be him. And in the subsequent investigation, All the clues pointed to the person who was placed in the barracks by King Duan."

"You hu..."

Before finishing speaking, Xiao Chiyu interrupted: "Don't get excited, I'm just explaining the results of my investigation. I won't jump to conclusions before I have conclusive evidence. Those who killed you, do all signs point to King Yi?"

Xiao Yun suddenly came to his senses and understood the meaning of his words.

"You mean, the people who want to kill me and King Yi may be the same group, and they created some clues pointing to each other, making us mistakenly think that the other party wants to assassinate us?"

Xiao Chiyu nodded: "I hadn't figured it out yet, but Gu Ying reminded me just now."

The reason why he believed that someone was instigating it was mainly because after such a long investigation, he had some understanding of King Duan's character, and knew that he was not a person with a heart of disobedience.

And to be so frank with Xiao Yun is precisely because he wants to investigate the truth with him and find out the person hiding in the dark.

The three of them stayed in the room for a long time, and it was not until late at night that Gu Yuan came out yawning.

After this exchange, she no longer has such strong hostility towards Xiao Yun. After all, she doesn't understand the court affairs, and she can understand what he did.

It's just that there is a faint worry in my heart. The two of them discuss such an important matter in front of her, don't they treat her as an outsider too much?

What if she wants to put aside ties with them when she returns to Kyoto in the future, and they won't let them go?

"Miss Gu, do you have time to chat?"

Gu Yuan looked back and saw Xiao Yun standing behind him, frowning slightly.

"Although I'm very sleepy now, you can talk if you want." It happened that she also wanted to tell him something.

The two came to the next room, Gu Yuan wanted to close the door, but was stopped by Xiao Yun.

"For Miss Gu's reputation, let's open the door."

Gu Yuan thinks about it too, although she doesn't have the concept of "clear reputation" in her heart, but it's better to avoid suspicion if the lonely man and widow stay in the same room late at night.

Just about to turn around, he caught a glimpse of Xiao Chiyu standing diagonally across the door, watching her quietly, and then silently closed the door.
