Yijing: The identity of my son?Saying it can scare you to death!

A: Xingzhu, B: Hesheng, O: Jiangyuan;

It is rare for the sun to shine brightly in northern Xinjiang, but it happens to be today.

Bai Xiangying raised her hand to block the glare, and when she turned around, she saw the endless green grass—this didn't seem like a good time to say goodbye.

She walked freely, and finally got off her horse in a sparsely populated place in the barracks. After greeting several sergeants who were feeding their horses and preparing their weapons, she saw a man open the tent and walk out.

Many people say that he is handsome with sword eyebrows and star eyes, envious of Ling Junhou who can pick up such a good-looking and talented son halfway, but in Bai Xiangying's eyes, this man is even more hidden, even though he has been busy here for two years, his appearance A little older, but still no one knows his past, and there is no way to find out his origin—only whose son he is.

"I have seen the general." Seeing Bai Xiangying coming in person, Xing Cheng couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then bowed his head to salute.

Bai Xiangying folded her arms and said with a smile, "You don't need to salute."

"General, don't worry, they will return to your camp." Xing Cheng said humbly.

"I will know." Bai Xiangying closed his eyes, "But I also know that if you go here, you may not come back, regardless of whether you are dead or alive, so I will make you unnecessary to salute."

"You can't disregard the etiquette for a lower official," Xing Cheng said with a smile, "The lower official has been here for two years, and his life is as low as an ant. If the general is not hesitant, no one can complain for the lower official. But the general not only holds his hands high, but also It is entrusted with a heavy responsibility, such kindness, Xing Sheng will definitely repay the general in the future."

"How could I kill Juncong's son? He will definitely be at stake with me." Bai Xiangying shook her head dumbfounded.

"Whether you can or can't, it's all in the general's mind." Xing Cheng turned around, and the sergeant handed over the reins, and hung the long sword and saber on the saddle together. "The northern border is bitterly cold, I dare you to take care of it."

Bai Xiangying took two steps forward, patted the war horse's neck, and asked casually: "You only have about twenty people with you. Since the other party is a reckless mission, at least one or two hundred people, not to mention that they are nomadic, and they are proficient in horse warfare." , is much stronger than the Central Plains, what should you do?"

"The border gates are not open to trade with Hu Zhuang. It is easier to be exposed if many people sneak in. Besides, people or horses need to drink water, eat food, and rest. I just prepare to wait for work."

Bai Xiangying thought for a while, then sighed: "Forget it, be careful in everything."

"Your Majesty thanked the General."

"But Ben will always be curious about one thing..."

"General", Xing Cheng interrupted her lightly, "If there is a future, let's talk about it."

Bai Xiangying pursed her lips.

It seems that the ministers are more concerned about which prince will be allowed to study in the cabinet than the reckless staring at the northwest.

The emperor pressed the slightly sore forehead, and finally made a conclusion, and let Prince Xingzhu study with his brothers.

This matter is over.

Gu Xiaowu winked at Lu Yichuan, and then the emperor heard from the Dali Temple: "The patriarch of the Sifuluo clan, Chengjing, came to report. My lord went to Ningwu the day before yesterday to see my younger brother Yijing, but for Ningwu The army commander Lan Mo stopped him, and after many inquiries, he found out that Yijing had been missing for more than half a year, so he begged Dali Temple to send people to look for it."

"What did you say?!" The emperor shouted, "Yijing is missing?"

"Yes", Lu Yichuan bowed his head and said, "According to the investigation of Dali Temple, there are people in Ningwu who can testify that Yijing has been tortured by hard labor all year round, his body is exhausted, and then his expression is in a trance, probably...he died, and his body was destroyed. "

There was a moment of silence in the court hall, and even the emperor's breathing was terribly slow.

Seeing this, Cui Shu came forward and said: "Your Majesty, as the Minister of Dali Temple, I have found out that Sifu Luo Yijing was suspected of killing the general Meng Qian, and then disappeared strangely. I am afraid that he may be absconding in fear of crime."

Gan Yi cursed secretly in her heart.

Another student of Gu Xiaowu asked, "Hearing what Dali Temple Minister said, you probably already knew that Sifu Luo Yijing had been missing for a long time. Why didn't you report such a big event early? Could it be that you have something else to hide?"

Cui Shu said: "Your Majesty is not looking for Yijing's whereabouts, but unexpectedly Lu Yichuan disrespected the superior, knowing that the matter has progressed, but did not report it to the minister. He has ulterior motives, and I hope Your Majesty will learn from him!"

"Your Majesty," Lu Yichuan said slowly, "I have also heard about Yijing's disappearance, but I have not been involved in this matter, and I dare not take the liberty to intervene. Therefore, even if someone says that Yijing is dead, I still believe that the Dali Temple minister himself Can deal with it. But now that Cheng Jing has come to report the case, I am afraid that Dali Temple Minister has other plans, so I have to risk my life to say that if your majesty punishes me, I will accept it!"

"Cui Shu!" the emperor said angrily, "If Cheng Jing hadn't found out, would you have buried this matter forever? You haven't brought it from the truth!"

Cui Shu panicked and kowtowed to plead guilty, and secretly signaled Qu Liying from the corner of his eye, but Qu Liying just shook her head regretfully.

Gan Yi said quietly: "Cui Shu only knows to investigate the truth, but he forgot about Yijing's birth from the Sifuluo clan. He treats it like an ordinary official leading a horse. He failed to report Yijing's disappearance to the court in time. It is an unforgivable crime." .Your Majesty, please replace him, and order another sage to search for Yijing."

"The prime minister thinks, who is the most suitable?"

Gu Xiaowu stopped him and said: "Cui Shu has been in office for a long time, he knows the whole story of this matter, and has always been dedicated to his duties. Although he has neglected this time, the investigation is also to find traces of Yijing, so it is not slack. Please His Majesty order him to make up for his mistakes. "

The emperor nodded thoughtfully, and ended the morning court today.

Cui Shu came to the Prime Minister's Mansion in shock after the dynasty was over, and asked puzzledly, "Why did she order the officials to look for Yijing?"

"The case of Meng Qian has become a mystery to this day. The Holy Majesty was also suspicious of Yijing at the beginning, so she was dismissed. She pleaded for you, but she was telling the emperor that Yijing is indeed innocent, and she is not afraid of us framing him." Gan Yi patiently explained to him.

"But she put the blame on me, what should I do? Do you want the officials to tell His Majesty that Yijing doesn't even have any corpses left?"

Gan Yi was in a hurry, then picked up the book on the case and threw it at his head: "Are you really scared by her?! The emperor wants someone, you just say you can't find him, what can he do to you?"

This remark was like enlightenment to Cui Shu, he immediately sobered up and understood the relationship, and then thanked Gan Yi a thousand times.

There was also Lu Yichuan who was tortured beyond recognition by Gu Xiaowu.

Although he was calm and composed in court, he was still in a hurry in private.

"Cui Shu can completely prevaricate this matter..."

"But the point is not Cui Shu," Gu Xiaowu reminded him, "Only one person has the power to decide which of us will die and who will live..."

"You mean..."

"Isn't Yijing dismissed from office because Gan Yi used Meng Qian's death to plant a seed of doubt in the emperor's heart?"

"So this time, the seed of doubt is Prince Xingzhu?" Lu Yichuan asked with blood.

Gu Xiaowu didn't answer him.

"I've always been full of doubts about your lord's actions." Lu Yichuan walked up to Gu Xiaowu, "I think my biggest distress is that I don't know what your lord's original purpose is. Now it seems that the person who controls the world is no longer the master. So you chose the prince Xingzhu, and made him worry that someone else will dethrone the throne..."

"Because someone's purpose is not Jiang Yuan." Gu Xiaowu raised the corner of his mouth, as if raising a curtain of light in the long night.

Lu Yichuan seemed to understand something - the current emperor is just a peacemaker, why did he accept Su Shengyi's proposal and allow Jiang Yuan to be a member of the court?

It's no wonder that Gu Xiaowu took advantage of the epidemic to spread rumors and said, "Promoting the Lord will not govern".

"Don't think about it anymore, you just need to follow my orders and do things. How is Yijing today? I want to see him."

But when he heard that Gu Xiaowu was going to meet his own Yijing, he felt uneasy in his heart, he knew that he had already returned to his original state, so no matter what he said, he couldn't hide it from Gu Xiaowu's eyes.

"When you were unconscious, I heard you talking about the past when the Ningwu army was wiped out." Gu Xiaowu said straight to the point.

Yijing put down his teacup and said helplessly, "It was just nonsense at that time."

"I've thought about it for a while, and I'm afraid it's not just as simple as nonsense." Gu Xiaowu stared at him, unable to help him dodge. A matter of imagination. You may have noticed another truth when you knew the purpose of the emperor, but you deliberately avoided it because of the dead Su Shengyi, until you couldn't restrain your thoughts and words...you unintentionally It leaks."

Yijing was silent, and then sighed: "I'm afraid I don't tell you, you can guess one or two of them, but why do you need to know this?"

Gu Xiaowu asked him back: "In your opinion, after quelling the reckless civil strife, can Princess Qianze prevent another war? The civil strife consumes a lot, and they may have many years to prepare. If Princess Qianze I can't stop it, so I should prepare for this country early, and use another person..."

Yijing clenched his fist with his right hand, and frowned fiercely: "No... civil strife is probably about to speed up their pace of dispatching troops."

"Do you want to conscript?" Gu Xiaowu didn't ask why, but was concerned about the follow-up deployment.

"If your lord's wishes go well, we don't have to," Yijing said leisurely, "Now the treasury is constantly being filled and the people's livelihood is revived. If we rashly recruit soldiers, the world will surely be in chaos."

Gu Xiaowu pondered and said: "Xing Sheng is about to go far away to Hu Mang, I will send a message to him on a flying horse to explain this matter."

"Xingsheng is going to Hu Mang?" Yijing said in surprise, "You strongly recommended him to deal with Hu Mang's mission?"

"Isn't this just what you thought?" Gu Xiaowu raised his eyebrows.

Yijing suddenly laughed out loud, couldn't help recalling the past, and continued: "Su Xiang is really smart, so he chose you."

Gu Xiaowu gave him a blank look, and then asked: "What advice do you have for Xing Cheng?"

"That man is exactly like my son, he should recognize it," Yijing murmured, the layers of hatred and regret in his heart made him suddenly exhausted, his eyes were sleepy, so he had to close his eyes and said, "Tell that man, Now someone has found out what happened back then... If it is really what you and I think, Xingcheng will know how to deal with it, if it is not the case... then Xingcheng must be careful."

Gu Xiaowu, who used to be as calm as Mount Tai, seemed a little panicked at the moment: "You...what the hell did you do!"

But Yijing said: "I have never mentioned this matter for so many years, just not to let people know that Yijing and the traitor back then, the fifth battalion commander of the Ningwu Army, were originally close friends..."

It has been exposed a long time ago that there is no close relationship between Xiao Shengya and Yijing. Xiao Tingxue and Xiao Tingyu are not Yijing's biological children. Xiao Shengya also told Changming that it is Yijing. They saved their mother and son, and only recognized their relatives in order to prevent them from being suspected.

When Yijing was imprisoned and his life was dying, Gan Yi wanted her son to marry Xiao Tingxue to catch Yijing's handle, so Yijing begged Hua Cishu to help save Xiao Tingxue.

Huacishu said at the time - even if you adopt Xiao Tingxue, I know whose son he is!

Then there was the conversation between Yijing and Gu Xiaowu today——Xiao Tingxue was the son of the fifth battalion commander of the Ningwu Army. Nine ethnic groups.That is, the failure of this war made Huacishu and Princess Qianze bid farewell. One became a general of the court, and the other became a reckless Wang Qing.

In the previous chapter, in Yijing's dazed dream, he saw Changming and his daughter, as well as the commander of the fifth battalion and Princess Qianze.

It should be said that all the tragedies were foreshadowed back then, but now Yijing began to think of another more terrifying truth.
