Chapter 413 Qinghe Boatman [ask for monthly ticket! ]

"No." Liang Yue looked at Hu Delu, "Mr. Hu, why are you messing around with them too?"

Hu Delu said with a straight face, "Just now the prince and this kid got drunk and insisted on becoming sworn brothers. I said that was inappropriate. They said they would take you with them, since you are the oldest, and you should be the eldest brother. I said that was even more inappropriate... Then they made me the third brother."

"Just agreed?" Liang Yue said.

"Of course I didn't, but do you think it's important?" Hu Delu pointed at the two people's hands holding his.

Chen Ju and the prince were obviously very happy. They pulled Hu Delu and the three brothers spun in circles. Seeing the bright stars and the cool breeze, Chen Ju suggested, "Why don't we call a boatman and take a night cruise on Qinghe River?"

The Qing River is crystal clear. On a starry night, the water surface reflects the Milky Way, which is a beautiful sight.

In addition to the pleasure boats and pleasure boats that are popular among scholars and literati for gatherings, there are also many serious boatmen who paddle their simple black-sailed boats and wait for guests who want to take a night tour.

"Okay!" The prince agreed happily.

Chen Ju immediately called a Qinghe boatman, and the four of them boarded the boat together. After the boat passed through the city for a circle, it could also go out of the city along the waterway, bypass Yungong Mountain outside the city and come back.

Lying on the side of the black-sailed boat, the prince chuckled and said, "This time I came to Yunlu City, I visited the snack alley, ate at the Wei family banquet, went to the Yunzhong Fairy Boat, and rode on the Qinghe boat... It seems that there is nothing missing."

"The only case that hasn't been solved yet is the one." Liang Yue whispered on the side.

Okay.

You came here to check in.

If conditions permit, should we put up a notice? The seafood stalls by the Qing River are amazing, the oysters are very nutritious and so delicious that you will stamp your feet... The tenth floor of the Lei River is not authentic, and the locals say it is a scam for tourists... If the weather is good, you must take a ride on the Qinghe boat, the scenery is amazing!
"Aren't you investigating the case?" The prince grabbed Liang Yue's arm and said, a little drunkenly but sincerely, "My father taught me a truth. It doesn't matter if you don't know anything. Just let someone who is good at it do it. What I need to do is to see clearly who is trustworthy. A person may be trustworthy in one thing, but not necessarily in another."

"In my opinion, Liang Yue, you are someone who is trustworthy in everything."

"So I'll leave this case to you to investigate. I'll provide you with all the help you need and won't interfere. That's the best thing I can do."

Liang Yue was really touched when he heard that the prince actually had such thoughts. The little fat boy usually looked silly, but he was actually very insightful.

This is indeed a great wisdom.

"Your Highness, you are too kind." Liang Yue said, "I will definitely do my best."

"I can trust you to do the work!" The prince said with a chuckle, "When I ascend the throne, I will let you be my left prime minister, to defend against foreign enemies, suppress bandits, manage internal affairs, intimidate officials, educate the people, and govern the country."

As he said this, he turned around and grabbed Chen Ju, "You will be my right-hand man, the leader of the civil and military divisions, and choose a concubine for me!"

Liang Yue was speechless. It turned out that the person who did so many things was even lower than the one who was only responsible for selecting concubines, right?
Chen Ju said loudly: "I will devote myself to the cause until my death! As long as I am here, the harem will be filled with beautiful concubines!"

The prince said solemnly: "With you here, my second brother, I feel at ease!"

The two men clasped hands, as if a thousand-mile horse finally met its master or a mountain met a stream. When they talked about their excitement, tears welled up in their eyes.

Liang Yue wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and thought, "No, what are these two people angry about?"

The selection of a concubine inexplicably gave the impression of entrusting an orphan to the care of another child.

Hu Delu was beside him, feeling distressed, "Prince, you are so good at choosing the best. You can't have it all."

"Third brother, I will never forget you." The prince turned around and patted Hu Delu again, "When the time comes, I will let you be in charge of the drinking horse station and be my imperial city's twilight tiger!"

"..." Hu Delu felt a chill in his lower body when he heard this and quickly shut up.

Although he is quite old, it does not mean that he will never need it again. He does not want to suffer this disaster at the last minute.

……

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince probably didn't dare drink in the palace before. For a long time, he was stared at and criticized by a group of people if he behaved well, so he didn't dare to show any flaws when eating, drinking and having fun. If he said something flawed after drinking, it would immediately become a knife handed to the Sixth Prince's party. Now that he is not so nervous, and he is outside the palace, he dared to let go and drink a little, and immediately he drank more.

No one took his drunken nonsense seriously. Liang Yue sat at the stern of the boat and watched them making a fuss, fantasizing about traveling around the world to select concubines in the future, but he didn't say anything.

Under normal circumstances, the gates at the entrance and exit of the city wall would not be lowered, and the boatmen would row downstream out of Yunlu City and bypass Yungong Mountain along the Qing River.

Yungong Mountain is very tall, with several peaks reaching into the clouds. The top of the mountain is square and vaguely resembles a palace, hence the name Yungong. The mountain is large and deep, and many wealthy families in Yunlu City have villas on the mountain. It is a good place to go for spring and autumn outings and summer vacation.

As the mountains looked vast in the darkness, a fire suddenly broke out in one place.

call--

There was a hint of red in the dark color. Although it didn't look big, it was very conspicuous and came from far away through the night.

Judging from the size, it might just be a torch or a bonfire, and no one was surprised. However, Liang Yue suddenly remembered what Qi Zhongqing said.

He said that there would be another big case in Yungong Mountain in the morning, and the position of Qingdu Prison Officer would be decided as soon as possible.

Could it be related to this fire?

As soon as I thought of this, before I could think about it any further, I saw the red light spreading rapidly across the mountain, and in a blink of an eye it covered half of the peak!
"Wildfire!" Seeing this scene, Chen Ju suddenly became more sober.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"An ordinary wildfire would never spread so quickly. It must have been set by someone on purpose." Liang Yue said.

Hu Delu had the highest cultivation level and the broadest spiritual awareness, so he said directly and confidently: "It's not a human, it's a monster."

Another fire demon?

Liang Yue turned around and said, "I'll go take a look."

Under normal circumstances, he is not a nosy person.

But now that I have just arrived in Yunlu City, it is time to collect more information and prepare for the investigation, so naturally I have to go and take a look if there is anything.

Moreover, Yungong Mountain is a very sensitive place. Before Zhao Faxian disappeared, he was investigating a case related to Yungong Mountain, and the Yihuo Sect wanted to stop him. Qi Zhongqing knew that something would happen in Yungong Mountain, and this matter might also be related to the Qi family.

Now, the two lines involved in the Zhao Faxian case can both converge on Yungong Mountain.

He certainly couldn't just watch from afar.

After giving his instructions, he turned around and fled into the night, heading towards the place where the red light was lingering.

"Liang Yue!" The prince called out, frowning, "The fire is so big, what if he is in danger? Mr. Hu, why don't you go and follow him? Anyway, Mr. Zhao is here to protect me."

"No." Hu Delu refused flatly. "Zhao Mengyu and I will protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, one in the open and one in the dark, so that nothing can go wrong. If one of us leaves, the Crown Prince will face some risks. If he fails, it will be too late to regret. Liang Bandu is very skilled, and his battle to capture the city is famous all over the world. He should not be taken lightly. There are not many people who can prevent him from escaping now, so Your Royal Highness does not need to worry too much."

"It's just that the situation ahead is unclear at this moment, and we still don't know what happened..." The unknown is the most worrying thing. The prince thought for a moment and said, "Since Mr. Hu is only responsible for protecting me, then I should follow Liang Yue, right? In this way, Mr. Hu, you can protect him at the same time."

These words made Hu Delu stunned, but that was the truth.

But I always feel like he's finding some loophole.

Because they were afraid that the prince would be in danger, they arranged for two first-class priests to accompany him for protection. Now, in order to let them protect others, the prince had to put himself in danger.

Isn’t it a bit weird?

Chen Ju looked at the situation and said, "If you all go, then I will go too."

Hu Delu's face was full of black lines, and you guys still call me loyal.

It's clearly time for the three of you to become sworn brothers!
