Overwhelming mountains and rivers

Shen Qingjun sat down on the other side of Helianxin, and motioned for Chu Xuanzhao to sit down as well, "Looking at it now, this Yanzhou incident can be described as a mixed bag. If it is said that the letter of request comes from Chen Yousi, this is a group of people. The people who searched for the petition belonged to Ma Liang, and they belonged to a group of people, and we sent another group of people, so who does Wenliu Villa, who holds the petition, belong to?"

"Aren't they with Chen Yousi? Aren't Chen Yousi and the old owner sworn brothers? Isn't it natural that he sensed something wrong and handed over the petition to the old owner?" Chu Xuanzhao always thought so.

Shen Qingjun slowly shook his head, "It seems so, but obviously not."

"Why?" Chu Xuanzhao and Helian Xin asked together.

"If that thing is a letter of request, it is the identification of Ma Liang. He tried to hand it over to the court. How could he hand it over to a friend in the rivers and lakes? Moreover, since the two are sworn brothers, how could Chen Yousi buy the estate? The master died, but he saved his own life? Even if he would, how could the owner of the villa agree? Now that Chen Yousi is safe and sound, the owner of the villa is dead, and the letter of request has never returned to Chen Yousi's hands. This is illogical. Please write the order to Chen Yousi It was lost during the chaos at the birthday banquet, so I think it might be that the old owner took advantage of the chaos and stole it away."

Shen Qingjun turned his head and looked at Helian Xin, "Last time you came, you said that before the assassination in this pavilion, the old owner was poisoned once, and the assassin who failed the assassination was the second time. The methods are completely different, and it is very likely that Chen Yousi It is the joint result of two groups of people, Ma Liang and Ma Liang."

"I've always felt that something doesn't make sense. It seems really weird when you say that." Chu Xuanzhao nodded.

"The purpose of this question to Liushanzhuang is unknown. Now that I think about it, it must be another unknown force that does not belong to the other three." Shen Qingjun concluded.

Chu Xuanzhao frowned slightly, and suddenly, with his pupils slightly dilated, he patted his knee, "If you are talking about who might have power in the whole Wenliu Villa, then I can think of someone who can have such a great ability. .”

"Who is it?" Helen Xin was a little curious.

"My royal father."

Helen Xin pouted, "That mediocre gentleman?"

"You don't know that when my father first came to power, he also worked hard to rule, hoping to create boundless achievements in his own hands. At that time, the power in the world was stronger than now, threatening the court faintly, and the emperor ordered several golden armored guards to hide their identities. Establish a villa in a place where there are many powerful forces in the world, in order to integrate into it and gradually destroy the forces in the rivers and lakes."

"What happened next?" Helen Xin asked.

"Later, there were indeed results. The power in the rivers and lakes and the court gradually stabilized. However, the emperor did not transfer the group of golden armored guards back, but ordered them to stay in the villa, as the eyes of the emperor on that side, and by the way as a A blade that secretly solves some problems that cannot be solved openly."

"But later, the royal father gradually lost the heroic spirit of his youth, and gradually became a bit slack in politics, and during this period, some villas rebelled. It is estimated that which villa is still serving the royal family, and the royal father himself is not sure. .”

Chu Xuanzhao sighed, "Maybe my father has forgotten them long ago, but if what Yi Qingjun said, this question about Liushanzhuang might be because he still remembered the mission of his own villa, so he stole the letter of request. .”

"Can you manage to get the list of those hidden villas?" Shen Qingjun asked.First of all, it is necessary to determine whether this guess is true or false before acting.

"It's not easy. It's been a long time, and there are rebellions and ruins, but I will think of a way and leave this matter to me for the time being. Even if I can't get the list, at least I will definitely ask Liushanzhuang what is going on .”

…………

The matter of Liushanzhuang had a direction, and the three of them chatted for a while.

Unknowingly, the sun is already westward.

The afterglow shines on the east wall, and the golden fallen leaves in the courtyard are more dazzling.

Chu Xuanzhao got up, "When the sun goes down, it's time for autumn fog. I gave you the cloak, and I'll get it for you."

"Cough cough cough!" Helen Xin coughed violently.

Can you guys think about it for me, a sad person who just got rejected.

Chu Xuanzhao raised his eyebrows, and a golden light flashed through his long and narrow phoenix eyes, "Valley Master Helian, aren't you a miracle doctor? You cough so badly, remember to take medicine."

Catching the golden light in his eyes, Shen Qingjun's heart tightened.

It is said that when the Fire Dragon Jue enters the eighth level, when the kung fu is used, the color of the pupils will turn into a fiery golden color due to the impact of the internal force of Zhiyang on the blood vessels.

Chu Xuanzhao didn't exercise his martial arts at this time, but a golden light flashed in his eyes, which was obviously the result of his inability to control his martial arts as he wished.

"Speaking of taking medicine, I have good brain-replenishing pills. The prince should need them. Are you right, Xiaojun?" Helianxin Erlang swayed his legs.

Chu Xuanzhao let out a heavy breath, with accusing eyes, "Qing Jun, what did you say again? Do you really despise me so much?"

"Very disgusting." Shen Qingjun said loudly.

"Okay... then, Lord Pavilion Master, can you tell me, who is despised, where is your cloak?"

Shen Qingjun raised his hand suddenly, signaling him to stop, "Don't go, there are people."

"Ah?" Chu Xuanzhao was confused, "What—"

Just as Chu Xuanzhao was about to ask again, an eager cry came from outside Yazhuxuan's door, "Mr. Mo Yuan! Can the prince be here? Mo Shiliu begs to see the prince!"

"Come in." Shen Qingjun's voice was soft and slow, but it was transmitted to the ears of the people outside the door.

Chu Xuanzhao frowned, Mo Shiliu?Didn't I send him and Feng Si to secretly guard Princess Jiazhen? Counting the time, the Tuojia mission has only entered Tuojia's land not long ago... Chu Xuanzhao suddenly felt bad.

Mo Shiliu came straight to the three of them in a blink of an eye, his hair disheveled and his body in a state of embarrassment. He hurriedly knelt down towards Chu Xuanzhao, "My lord, princess, something happened!"

After the premonition was confirmed, Chu Xuanzhao calmed down, "What's going on?"

"That Gergis is not as gentle as he looks at all, he is a lunatic! He is a beast with a face and a heart! Princess, she, oh~" Mo Shiliu was travel-stained, his eyes filled with grief and resentment.

He went all the way back to Beijing, but he didn't see Chu Xuanzhao in the palace, so he hurried to find Yazhuxuan.

Chu Xuanzhao was a little angry, "Say!"

"Yes! Here's the thing..."

…………

It turns out that since the mission left Beijing, the journey has been smooth.

Princess Jiazhen drove a four-horse and phoenix sedan chair alone, with twenty maids serving on both sides. She was guarded by the Tuojia mission in the center of the team, and in front was the sedan chair of Tuojia Prince Gergis.

All of this seems reasonable and there is no abnormality.

Although the two had a marriage contract, Princess Jiazhen and Gergis did not meet much along the way, and they only had a chance to meet each other during the night break when they stopped traveling.

In this way, the chariots and horses drove all the way out of Hanling Pass, the border between the two countries. To the north of Hanling Pass is a desert with an extremely wide view. Mo Shiliu and Feng Si did not dare to get too close.Although the two have no malicious intentions, once they are discovered, it may cause misunderstandings and affect the peace talks between the two countries.

At that time, neither Mo Shiliu nor Feng Si expected that a tragedy would happen in this desert, which was only a few tens of miles away from the abyss.

The incident happened suddenly and without any warning, only because Mo Shiliu and Feng Si arrived later, it was impossible to reverse it, everything was a foregone conclusion, irreversible.

The day was approaching evening, and the group was in the desert. At night, they took out the simple tent that accompanied them and set it up in the leeward place, intending to rest here for the night.

And Mo Shiliu and Feng Si saw that there should be no robbers or assassins intercepting the team when they looked around to the end, so they planned to stay far away behind the sand dunes about a mile away, and planned to continue to follow the team tomorrow morning.

At night, the princess got up to go to the bathroom, and when she passed by Gergis' tent, she heard news that would make her, who was ignorant of the world, feel struck by lightning.

At that time, Gergis was discussing with Yujia. When the princess heard about it, Gergis actually had a terrifying conspiracy and ambition.

Through many trips to Beijing, he secretly contacted many ambitious officials in Dayuan, and promised them to use them for his own benefit. He planned to use these people to eat away at the court of Dayuan from the inside, and finally gave Dayuan a fatal blow. hit.

When the princess heard it, Gergis was receiving a list from Yujia, which was the list of the group of officials that the two had secretly contacted.

With this list, Gergis can act conveniently based on this list.

The princess was shocked, but what she thought of was not her own safety, but the list.

Definitely destroy the list.

It was the only thought on her mind.

The princess, who had been cowardly all her life, seemed to have used up all her guts, threw herself into the tent and reached out to grab the list.

Guergis was unprepared, and was rushed by her, and with a hiss, the paper was split in two.

The princess lay on the ground looking at the paper in her hand, then looked up at Gergis with red eyes, her whole body was trembling belatedly.

…………

Princess Jiazhen tightly clutched half of the list in her hand, walking on her knees, trying to escape from the tent.

It's not that she doesn't want to stand up, it's just that her legs have long lost the strength to stand up.

Gergis stuffed the remaining half of the paper into his bosom, squatted down slowly, grabbed the princess's chin, and turned her face away, but the gentleness in his mouth was completely opposite to the strong action, "Hey, give it to me? Huh?"

"No...", the princess's eyes were full of fear, tears flowed down her face uncontrollably, but her hands clenched tighter and tighter.

Gergis lowered his head slightly, his smile still warm, "If such a delicate finger is broken, it will not look good, what do you think, Your Highness the Princess."

The princess raised her hand slowly, "... here you are."

Gergis let go of her jaw, and was about to turn to pick it up, but the princess quickly stuffed the paper into her mouth, and by the time Gergis realized it, she had already swallowed it.

Gergis blinked, and squeezed Kong's hand severely, "Oh, you are capable, my dear princess!"

Gergis grabbed the princess's high bun, and the gold and silver pearl hairpins on the scarlet phoenix crown fell to the ground with a crackle, and her hair was instantly messed up like a cloud of blue silk.

"Since you are my princess, naturally you have to do what you should do!" Gergis slammed the princess onto the fur laid on the inner floor.

The princess fell to the ground, a mouthful of blood came out.

Guergis lowered his hand and gently wiped the blood off her face, "You Central Plains people pay attention to red and festive, yes, I like it too."

The princess wanted to shout, but because she swallowed the paper before, her heart and lungs were hurt again, so she just opened her mouth, but didn't make a sound.

Gergis tapped the scimitar on his waist with his blood-stained fingers, "Yujia, those people are probably still waiting for their princess, you go and help them, don't wait."

Ever since the princess rushed in, Yu Jia, who had been standing with her head down on the side of the tent curtain, nodded her head, "Yes, I understand."

…………

It wasn't until midnight that Gergis let go of the princess. The princess' eyes were empty, and she became like a puppet who lost her soul.

When she thought it was finally over, she heard Gergis shout something to the outside, she was in a trance and couldn't hear clearly.

Two people walked in, she thought they were going to execute her.

"Reward you." Gergis straightened his underwear, then pointed to the fur on the ground floor, "I'll change it."

When the princess was dragged to another tent, and the two men rubbed their fingers and pulled on her bruised shoulder with a dislocated elbow, she finally understood what Gergis meant by "reward you".
