Tang Dizhihua

There was a sudden sound, and the atmosphere inside the imperial city and in the East Palace was heavy and stagnant.

In the East Palace, the snake spirit's purple-clothed man unsheathed his weapon, and stood guard at ten steps, one post at five steps, and one whistle at five steps.The crowd faintly surrounded a side hall, the lights were brightly lit, and faint voices came from it, which was particularly eye-catching in the emptiness and awe.

Li Yi lightly landed on the top of the hall, because he was wearing a dark blue knee-length short robe and Xiaofeng's black clothes, it almost blended into the night, and was not noticed by anyone.

Li Yi untied the rope wrapped around his body, and laid Xiaofeng flat on the roof.Glancing at her expression of hidden resentment, she said, "It's better not to make a sound, so as not to disturb your old master's happy conversation."

Then he sat down and clutched his chest, secretly adjusting his breath.

I could only hear Yuan Tiangang in the hall saying proudly and confidently: "Ten years ago, I accidentally got two ancient almanacs, which recorded the weather and hydrology of Luoshui in detail. A great secret was discovered within."

"Oh? What's the secret?" Di Renjie said.

"The Luoshui River is connected to the Tengshui River in the west, the Caoqu Canal in the south, and the canal in the north. The hydrological situation is extremely complicated. The book records more than a dozen terrible floods that occurred in the Luoshui River in ancient times. Based on this, a certain person used the calendar technique to add After deduction, it was found that it was not a flood, but a huge undercurrent in Luoshui due to the influence of the solar eclipse or lunar eclipse. It can also be said that every moment of undercurrent is related to the solar or lunar eclipse United."

"...solar eclipse?" Di Renjie frowned, "Since ancient times, hydrology and weather must have changed, and there have been countless solar or lunar eclipses, but there is no record of this undercurrent."

"Of course. Maybe this undercurrent will appear every time, but not every time it will have a huge impact, so it has not been recorded in detail. Therefore, a certain person calculated in detail according to the law, and finally found that there may be a solar eclipse ten years later. , and the operation of celestial phenomena and hydrological laws is very close to that recorded in the almanac."

"For Luoyang, a solar eclipse means an undercurrent. At that time, the water level of Luoshui rose, broke through the dam, and the Luoshui flooded back and forth. The buildings in the city that were crossed by Luoshui will be destroyed in an instant. devoured."

"I call this——Luohe Mystery."

"Is this undercurrent really so powerful?" Di Renjie asked persuasively.

"Of course, this is a mysterious force of nature, and manpower can't compete with it. At that time, a certain person thought that if this force could be well used and induced, instead of being extended to both sides of the strait, it would be concentrated in one point. A huge impulsive force that destroys the dead, pulls up mountains and rises up mountains, and everything will collapse in front of it. If this huge force is used on Wu Zhao, what should we do?"

Di Renjie was shocked: "I finally understand that the reason why you chose the East Palace is because Luoshui and Shangyang Palace in the East Palace are very close.

You dig a lotus pond in the East Palace to connect with the Luoshui River, and place a living gate in the pond. Normally, the river water will not enter the lotus pond;In this way, the undercurrent water will rush into the lotus pond, break through the four walls of the lotus pond with its destructive power, pour into the tunnel, and go straight to His Royal Highness Linde of the Shangyang Palace. "

"That's right. It was the period of the Great Dynasty. Once the Linde Hall collapsed, Wu Zhao and all his courtiers would be buried. At that time, my snake spirit will be the lord of the world!"

Di Renjie sighed: "What a vicious strategy! In this way, you will use those easy-to-understand ministers of the prince's cabinet to steal my country and society. This is why you concocted the so-called miracle of Luohe dedicating a monument to trick the saint into moving the capital." Reason."

"You are really an extremely smart person. It's just that the move of the capital is a grave dug for himself by Wu Zhao himself, and he just followed the trend, that's all."

Di Renjie's heart moved, and he couldn't help frowning: "What do you mean?"

Yuan Tiangang chuckled: "Since you are so smart, why bother asking me again?"

Di Renjie faintly had an ominous premonition, but in this hall, he had to concentrate all his energy, so it was inconvenient for him to think about other things.

He listened to Yuan Tiangang's explanation of why he didn't dig the tunnel to Shangyang Palace, but to Qianyi Square, and he let out a long sigh with astonishment: "I completely understand that the so-called Luohe is so magical. "

Di Renjie paused and said, "How much does Xiao Qingfang know about this matter?"

Yuan Tiangang sighed: "In the past ten years in prison, Xiao Qingfang's power in the snake spirit has grown rapidly, far beyond my comparison. If she didn't want to know the specific date of the miracle, how would she be willing to rescue me? When Huan Bin and Xiaomei rescued me, they told me about all the changes. So, I thought of you."

"I didn't expect Di to become your murder tool."

"You are indeed very useful. Xiao Qingfang's frequent actions these years not only made me lose Jinghui, but also put Wen Zhong under house arrest in Lingnan for ten years, making him lose the right to speak in the snake spirit. You have repeatedly sabotaged Xiao Qingfang's plan, she hates you To the bone, and you will continue to investigate after the snake spirit is exposed, Yuan only needs to be the secret pusher, and I can use your hand to get rid of Xiao Qingfang for me."

"I switched identities with Lu Cheng, and Lu Cheng dealt with Xiao Qingfang for me, while I secretly directed the whole plan."

Fei Wenzhong pulled out an insincere smile, thinking of that night, when he knelt in front of the old man, the old man was full of helpless sighs:

He knew very little about Luohe's dedication of the stele. To this day, Yuan Tiangang only revealed a little emotion in front of everyone tonight, and the leaked details made Xi Wenzhong's heart feel like a mess, and he was almost enlightened. , You can see through the hidden deep secret.

"Wen Zhong...it's good that you have such a childlike heart. However, in this boundless floating world, it is clear that there is no way for me to survive."

At that time, he thought that he was talking about himself, but thinking about it now, Yuan Tiangang might also have some difficulties that he had to do.

But now, Wenzhong looked at Di Renjie in front of him, surrounded by many masters of the snake spirit, talking freely, without any fear, but the vague sense of uneasiness that he usually felt was getting heavier and heavier.

He heard Di Renjie tell the ins and outs of being an undercover agent coldly but firmly: "What happened at the same time as Xiaomei leading me into Dayang Mountain was the second undercover agent you arranged—Hui Wenzhong."

Li Yi, who was adjusting his breath on the roof, suddenly lost his breath, quickly covered his face and coughed secretly, his eyes hidden under his sleeves were secretly red, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

On the other hand, Wenzhong met Di Renjie's indifferent gaze, and suddenly flashed in front of his eyes the wise smile that stabbed the old man in Hanguang Temple that day, and the caring and considerate every time he visited, made him feel warm and painful every time, and made his reason and emotion even stronger. Contradictory emotions.

He played the expression that a killer should have at this moment, and smiled disdainfully.

"Earlier, Di had been wondering why it happened so coincidentally that you escaped to the small temple where Yuan Fang and two people were resting, and happened to be rescued by them. You must have learned that Yuan Fang was so beautiful through the snake cave in Dayang Mountain. Yan has arrived, so they carefully arranged a good show, and Wen Wenzhong and the two blood spirits staged a farce of poisoning in front of Xiao Qingfang, so the second dark thread was buried logically."

Hui Wenzhong smiled and said, "That's right."

"At first I didn't doubt you. What really made me suspicious of you was because Yuan Fang once told me about something. He said that the mysterious killer who fought against him in Tuoluodi had a flickering appearance. The tricks and some extremely lethal moves are all faintly similar to a person. And the killer is wearing Viper clothes, so it must be related to Vipers. For various reasons, I can’t think of anyone other than you. outsiders."

Di Renjie turned to Yuan Tiangang and asked: "And Lu Cheng's snake lair is very high and very eye-catching. When there is no one around, Li Yuanfang will definitely go there to spend the night. So, you are the one who ordered him at that time." order?"

Yuan Tiangang smiled and said, "Not bad."

Di Renjie continued: "So you lured Yuanfang and Ruyan to go to the main altar Tuola land while talking. Originally, your wishful thinking was that as long as Ruyan was left behind, Fei Wenzhong would be able to go undercover under my body smoothly. But Li Yuanfang is difficult to control and must be eliminated. So there is a battle in Tuola, and Wenzhong is the best candidate for this battle."

Turning to Wen Zhong, he said: "You are wearing Viper clothes, just to distract Li Yuanfang's attention. It will make him unable to guess your identity."

"That's exactly what I mean." Wen Wen said faithfully, if he hadn't been covered by a mask, his strong exterior and middling might have already been exposed in front of Li Yuanfang.However, in that battle, when he took the shot, he felt that Li Yuanfang deliberately released water, the purpose was to feign death and sneak into the enemy camp, he was just pushing the boat along the way.

"However, Yuanfang fell to the ground on purpose, but you thought you killed him, and walked into the cave along the mechanism in the grocery store. Later, Di compared the prison where you and Ruyan were imprisoned, with the prison. The location of the organ is like a mountain cave, so I immediately suspected you."

Yuan Tiangang said: "Di Renjie really reasoned like a god. It's a pity that you still lost to me."

"In fact, there is no limit to winning or losing. It is too early to draw conclusions now."

Di Renjie smiled, and said: "You didn't want to face me directly, but Wen Zhong was too arrogant and didn't kill Li Yuanfang, which made you have to change your plan midway."

Yuan Tiangang turned his head sideways when he heard the words, took a deep look at Wen Wenzhong, and then admitted with a smile: "Yes, since this matter has been accomplished, I have to do it myself to help you, and it happens that I can also direct the action in person."

"However, Xiao Qingfang ran away alone, and she carried a miraculous secret with her. I know her nature very well. Once she falls into your hands, she will definitely reveal the miraculous secret. But Xiaofeng hadn't arrived at that time, and Xiaomei couldn't escape by your side. Wen Zhong pretended to be incompetent and unable to act, no matter who he sent, he would be exposed. Fortunately, you entered the mountain cave, so Wen Zhong had a great opportunity to act."

Hearing the words, Wen Wenzhong remained silent, and only quietly listened to Di Renjie's slow talk of his actions.When he talked about the bitterness in the main altar, his breathing was slightly suffocated, and the knife wound on his chest started to hurt again.

He squinted his eyes secretly, and pressed down the surging inner breath.

"Your trick is really effective, and everyone has to let go of you, the most suspected person. On the way to the north, I repeatedly deduced everything that happened in those few days, and all kinds of evidence gathered on you. It happened that at that time Pei Le Guihui, I will let him stay with you every step of the way, he should have prevented you from sending letters many times."

Yuan Tiangang snorted coldly: "Pei Le... is that Li Yi who is wanted by the court. You are not afraid that Wu Zhao will find out that such a character is hidden in the army. Are you asking?"

Hearing this, Wen Wenzhong's heart skipped a beat.

"It seems so." Di Renjie didn't answer Yuan Tiangang's words, but instead said: "Pei Le is an outsider, but he accidentally disturbed your layout. You have no choice but to temporarily suspend the plan."

Yuan Tiangang smiled, and said: "He is not an outsider. Old Di Ge doesn't know something. His uncle's surname is Shangguan. He is a member of the Shangguanyi clan who was exterminated because of the abolition of the queen. After being rescued by me, It was supposed to be my job. However, when I went to him more than ten years ago, he was not willing to join my snake spirit. A few months ago, he still didn't want to do things for me. It happened that Xiao Qingfang wanted to deal with them, so I went with the flow and wanted to Using this matter to trip them up, who knows that the child escaped unharmed."

Xiaofeng on the roof raised her eyebrows and glanced at the boy beside her.

Li Yi didn't respond, and remained silent without saying a word.

Fei Wenzhong said in his heart that he was often half-drowsy and half-awake along the way, even if he had a plan, he would not be able to receive it.It's just that it doesn't matter whether these details are said or not at this moment.

"After returning home, Di Mou transferred Pei Le away from you. Sure enough, you took action."

Di Renjie turned around quickly, and said to the woman in black who had been silent all this time: "The man in black last night must be Xueling Xiaofeng."

'Xiaofeng' snorted coldly and didn't say a word.

Di Renjie ignored her, and turned to Yuan Tiangang and said: "That night Pei Le reported to me that the man in black first went from the study to the west, then stayed in the east courtyard, and finally went to the study. Both you and Xi Wenzhong Living in the west courtyard, Xiaofeng came to inquire about my plan first, and then went to the west courtyard to report to you; after you assigned the task, Xiaofeng passed it on to Wenzhong and Xiaomei successively. However, Ruyan noticed your whereabouts, so, So you used your tricks, led Ruyan to the study, and staged a fighting scene in front of me, trying to confuse me."

"I think at that time, you have already decided on the trick to lure the enemy tonight."

"Not bad." Hui Wenzhong replied.

He raised his head and looked outside the hall, but his eyes were blocked by many buildings.But at this moment, it should have passed Zi Shi, and it was already the twelfth day of the seventh month.

He still listened to Di Renjie's loud inquiry: "Then, what day is it that Luohe is miraculous?"

Yuan Tiangang said: "Don't worry, you will definitely see it. At three o'clock tomorrow, the solar eclipse will come..."

Di Renjie finally showed a smile.

Fei Wenzhong happened to look up and saw Di Renjie's smile, and the uneasiness in his heart suddenly reached its peak.

wrong!

He looked at Yuan Tiangang, and Yuan Tiangang seemed to be too complacent, not knowing what kind of shocking secret he had revealed, "...followed by a terrible undercurrent, by then, the palace will be poured out, the temple will be overthrown, and the Wu family will be defeated." The world will come to an end.”

Fei Wenzhong's heart was in a mess, and he suddenly looked at Xiaomei.Xiaomei noticed that he was looking at her, so she also turned her head sideways, with a questioning look in her eyes.Fei Wenzhong motioned her to look at Di Renjie's expression, and Xiaomei took a closer look, but she didn't notice anything unusual about Di Renjie.

In fact, since Di Renjie fell into the trap of the snake spirit, he has been too calm from beginning to end. There are only two explanations for this: one is that the other party really fell into their tricks, and the other is that they did not Wherever he noticed it, he played a dark chess game, and he was confident in his heart that nothing would happen to him.

The Snake Spirit has already played all the cards, but they don't know what backhand Di Renjie is hiding.

And Di Renjie's calmness from beginning to end, as well as the slight helplessness he showed at the beginning, also made the scheming Yuan Tiangang think that he had no back-up from the beginning, so he gradually let down his vigilance, so he failed to notice the subtle changes in the opponent's expression .

Except for him who has been absent-minded, no one noticed the change in Di Renjie's expression.

And this happened to be a big taboo.

He couldn't help but think of what Li Zhuan said when he taught him the art of war. As a superior, one must always consider the worst possible situation and make corresponding countermeasures when planning affairs. among.

Because the impermanence of the world will always make the worst possible come true, countless lessons in history have verified this point.

When Yuan Tiangang made a desperate move tonight, he didn't know whether he would have thought of this move. Perhaps it was also because their Snake Spirits no longer had any extra manpower, and they no longer had the strength to deploy second-handers.

Fei Wenzhong secretly became vigilant, and sorted out the people and things he met early this morning, and then suddenly his heart trembled, and a name suddenly popped up in his mind: "Ruyan!"

Di Renjie didn't see Ruyan for such an important plan, which was really abnormal.Is she the backhand arranged by Di Renjie?If so, where is she hiding at this moment?

And Li Yi...we had dinner together at noon today, but we haven't seen him since. I don't know if he has also gone to the East Palace and where he is hiding.

"...And Mr. Di Ge, stay here with the crown prince until this matter is over. Because you and the crown prince are our amulets. Besides, with your talents, it would be a pity if you were to be eliminated. A good bird also chooses a tree to live in, so it is better to accomplish great things with us snake spirits."

Di Renjie squinted at him: "You?"

Yuan Tiangang said: "What?"

Di Renjie's voice was stern: "You deserve it too!"
