Dragon Fate of Shan Hai Ji
Chapter 74
When they entered the room, Mrs. Luluo was begging the man with tears in the dim light.
"...I just want to see him once, and hear him say a word to me, just one time and a word..."
The man sighed, "Ah Luo, just treat him as dead from birth."
Mrs. Luluo grabbed the silk handkerchief in her hand a little excitedly: "Why should I treat him as dead! He is still alive! He has called your wife for decades, and now your wife has passed away. You gave me a title, and you didn't expect him to recognize me, I just wanted him to say a word to me!"
The man's expression was helpless and heavy: "Ah Luo, it's impossible, you also know what time it is now, you are his mother, and you have to think about his future."
Mrs. Luluo clenched her teeth tightly, wiped away the tears that kept streaming down her face with a silk handkerchief, took a deep breath, and raised her head: "Okay, since you said so, I will not beg you again, nor will I see you again." She stood up, "From now on, you and I will have nothing to do with each other."
She got up and walked to the window quickly, and the man hurried forward and grabbed her: "A Luo, why is your temper always like this? There are some things that everyone has room for, so it's easy to do things."
Mrs. Lu Luo coldly shook off his hand: "I only hate me more than ten years ago. Why didn't I be hard-hearted and know you blindly!" She put on the hood of her black cloak, pushed open the window sash, jumped into the night.
"Unexpectedly, this person turned out to be Mrs. Luluo's old lover." Lin Jing hugged her teacup, sitting at the table and sighing. She and Zhao Yuan kept watch all night, but they didn't see anyone looking for him. In the morning, he cleaned up The burden, and a servant got into the carriage and went out of the city. It seems that he really came to meet Mrs. Luluo's old lover.Lin Jing has been following the carriage all morning, and she didn't find that she stopped halfway or connected with others.
Is it really just a serious suspicion?Du Ruyuan smiled and said: "If you are still worried, you can catch up with that carriage and keep watching."
Lin Jing yawned: "I don't want to do useless work." She went to her room to catch up on sleep.
On the last day of the rehearsal, Le Yue came back in the evening as usual. After eating, when he went to take a bath with Zhao Yuan, he met Young Master Nangong on the way.
Young Master Nangong looked exhausted, and asked Le Yue tentatively: "Brother Le, are you sure?" Le Yue said, "To be honest, I'm not sure."
Young Master Nangong sighed: "If you're not sure, I'm even more lost." He unconsciously raised his hand and pressed on his left rib.
Le Yue asked, "Brother Nangong, are you feeling unwell?" Young Master Nangong shook his head feebly: "No, the doctor brought by my aunt helps me take my pulse every day. There is nothing abnormal, maybe it is caused by my dry heart."
When we arrived at the bathroom, we just met Wen Ji and greeted each other politely.When they went into the changing room to take off their clothes, Le Yue and Zhao Yuan heard someone say from the next door: "In my opinion, Master Wen has a better chance of winning than Master Nangong. He is easy-going and will come to trouble. Unlike that Young Master Nangong, who is not yet weaned." , I have to be accompanied by elders to invite relatives, meals and baths are arranged by myself, and I have never entered this bathhouse."
Another person said: "Hey, whether it's Young Master Wen or Young Master Nangong, after all, isn't the prince of Nanjun's son the best chance of winning? I guess, this competition is just a pretense, and the county horse may end up being Du Shizi .”
Le Yue and Zhao Yuan came out of the changing room with basins in their hands, and the two who had just spoken also came out from the next room. When they saw Le Yue and Zhao Yuan, they immediately realized that they had heard what they had just said, and their greetings were a little embarrassing.
There were so many people bathing today that the small room was already full, Le Yue and Zhao Yuan had no choice but to soak in the big pool outside.When I was dressing after washing, there was a sudden commotion outside.
Le Yue stuck his head out with his belt on, and saw a bunch of people huddled together in one place, and someone shouted: "Don't crowd, first carry him to the edge of the pool and lie flat, quickly help him dress and call the doctor!"
During the chaos, there was another muffled groan and a few exclamations from another place. Le Yue turned his head and saw a man vomit blood and fell headlong.
The people surrounding him exclaimed: "Poisoning, this is poisoning!" Suddenly, some people in the crowd who were exclaiming also spurted black blood, as if they had been cast some kind of spell, and more and more people in the bathroom spurted blood fell down.
The fish pond was in complete chaos: "Poison! Someone poisoned you!"
In the changing room not far from Le Yue, a man fell straight out of the door, his mouth was full of blood: "...this poison...it gets hot when it's hot...get out of the bathroom..."
He turned out to be that Tang Sect disciple Tang Yansheng.
Zhao Yuan helped Le Yue, and together with other people who had no abnormalities, dragged the poisonous people out of the bathroom one by one.
The chief of the county palace and a large number of guards rushed outside the bathroom, and the light from the lanterns illuminated the open space outside the bathroom as bright as day.In the process of transporting the poisoned people, some people fell down again and again.Even the disciples of the Tang Sect and several young masters from the Jianghu medicine family were tricked, and they couldn't tell what kind of poison it was.
The medical officer sent by the Zhenxi Palace checked the poisoned person's pulse, and stammered to the main pipe: "I can't find out what kind of poison it is, but I can see the symptoms of the poison..." He lowered his voice, but the words still fell into the Le Yue and Zhao Yuan, who were standing nearby, heard it. "The symptoms of their poisoning are somewhat similar to those of the prince and princess back then."
Le Yue suddenly thought of something, and dragged Zhao Yuan quickly to the residence.
Lin Jing, Luo Lingzhi and the others were all in the room, they had already heard about the poisoning incident in the bathroom, and they were discussing.Le Yue grabbed Luo Lingzhi: "Brother Luo, what's wrong with you these days?"
So many people can be poisoned, most likely by poisoning food or drinking water, Lin Jing, Zhao Yuan, Shang Jing and Ying Ze are not afraid of poison, Du Ruyuan is half human and half immortal, only Le Yue and Luo Ling are left Possibility of poisoning.
Luo Lingzhi was startled, and said: "These days are the same as usual, there is no abnormality or discomfort."
Le Yue breathed a sigh of relief, and he himself did not have any symptoms.
Lin Jing said: "So many people are poisoned together, tomorrow's audition will definitely fail, the poisoner is quite ruthless."
Le Yue said: "It's not just that it can't be done. I heard from the medical officer that this kind of poison is the same as the poison technique used to poison the prince and princess. The poisoner wants the lives of these candidates."
Lin Jing suddenly changed color. Although Le Yue just said that he was fine, she was still worried. Just as she was about to take out the medicine bottle she carried and stuffed Le Yue with a pill of unicorn elixir, a few maids and attendants hurried in outside the door, and a A medical officer saluted them respectfully.
"I'm here to do a drug test for you under the order of the princess."
One maid took out a roll of silk cloth and unfolded it, while the other maid held a tray with a glazed cup on it.The medical officer said to Le Yue: "My lord, please stretch out your left hand."
The medical officer took a silver needle from the unfolded silk cloth, pierced Le Yue's middle finger, stared at the blood-stained needle tip, then grabbed Le Yue's hand, and squeezed out a few drops of blood into the glass cup.
The bright red blood immediately spread in the glass cup filled with water, and the medical officer breathed a sigh of relief: "Congratulations, young master, you are not poisoned."
Le Yue said: "Dare to ask the medical officer, have you found out why this is poisonous?"
The medical officer only said vaguely: "It hasn't been found out yet, but the poison is silently lurking in the human body. Before the poison occurs, there is no change in the pulse condition. The only way to test the blood is with a silver needle, and then use the prepared medicine to melt the blood. Only then can we find out." He took out a pill from his sleeve and handed it to Zhao Yuan who was beside Le Yue, "I have to go to other rooms for drug testing, please test the rest by yourself, and dissolve this pill in water In the middle, use the silver needle and check it as I did just now. If the silver needle changes color after being stained with blood, or if the blood changes color after entering the potion, please report it to the guards immediately."
After all, he left in a hurry with people.
Le Yue asked Du Ruyuan and Luo Lingzhi to test each according to the law, and neither of them had been poisoned.
But almost all the candidates in other rooms were found to be poisoned, even Nangong Ling was not spared.
Nan Gongling covered her left side and murmured, "It turns out that it's not true energy, it's poison."
Mrs. Nangong was relatively lightly poisoned. She asked the medical officer if there was an antidote to the poison. The medical officer bowed and said, "It's being prepared."
Nangong Ling's face was pale: "Preparation? If there is an antidote, how could the prince and concubine of Zhenxi die from this poison? They came here to seek a beautiful wife, but who would have thought that they would die."
Le Yue and the others were watching from a distance in the corridor, while Du Ruyuan tapped his fan thoughtfully.Le Yue said: "Brother Du, what should we do now?"
Du Ruyuan said: "Don't do anything for now, let's see what happens next."
At three o'clock, all the candidates who had not yet been poisoned gathered in the courtyard.
Wen Ji walked out of the crowd, and said slowly: "There is no antidote for the poison now, we can't just sit and wait for death. Among us, there are not a few people who are proficient in medical skills or pharmacology. Let's first investigate the source of the poisoning, and maybe we can find a way to detoxify." Everyone agreed, and the anthology suggested that those who were not poisoned and those who had been poisoned should be separated from each other. Everyone checked the recent eating activities to see if there was any sign of poisoning. Seeing that there was no objection, he asked the ones who were not poisoned to take the first place on the left. space.
Among the crowd, only Yue Yue, Zhao Yuan, Lin Jing, Luo Lingzhi, and Ying Ze walked out. Due to his special status, Du Ruyuan stayed in the room and never came into the courtyard.After a while, Sun Ben also walked out of the crowd and stood beside them.
Anthology was a little surprised: "There is no one else?"
There was a commotion in the crowd, but no one came out again.
Crisis walked up to Le Yue and the others, cupped his hands and said, "May I ask Le Shaoxia, how are you eating recently, what special places have you been to, and what special things have you done?"
Just as Le Yue was about to answer, someone said loudly: "Why are you the only ones who didn't get poisoned? Could it be you who poisoned me?!"
The commotion among the crowd was even worse.
Le Yue said loudly: "Everyone, we are the ones who added the poisonous injection. Wouldn't it be wise for us to pretend that we have been poisoned?"
The voice just now said: "The county prince's mansion sent people to test the poison one by one. There is no antidote to the poison, so you dare not pretend?"
Le Yue squinted his eyes and saw that the speaker was a thin man of medium build. From the dim light in the corridor, he could only see that he was wearing a blue gown and had a short beard on his lips, looking slightly obscene.
Without waiting for Le Yue to explain again, Wen Ji turned around and said with a smile: "Everyone, I don't think there is anything suspicious about Le Shaoxia and others. For one thing, based on emotion and reason, Dingnan Palace will not poison Chu The horses of Princess Ling are running for the election. They come here, as brother Le said, they can pretend that they have planted poison, but for those who have a little understanding of medicine, it is not difficult to turn the silver needles black and the blood in the medicine to change color. What's more The medical officers only test the candidates, and those who accompany or follow are tested by themselves."
The short-bearded man sneered, "Could Mr. Wen imply that the poisoner is among us?"
Anthology calmly said: "Wen, like everyone else, wants to know the cause of the poisoning as soon as possible. I never speculate on things without real evidence. At this moment, when we are about to unite, if we are suspicious of each other, we will Give those with ulterior motives a chance."
The short-bearded man kept sneering, and when Wenji was asking Le Yue about his diet and actions again, he suddenly saw the head of the Xijun Prince's Mansion with a gloomy and anxious face, and came with a group of guards at an unusually fast pace.Everyone was sensitively aware of the tense atmosphere and couldn't help but hold their breath.
The manager said sadly: "Everyone who participated in the election, the soldiers and horses of Beijun have arrived outside the city gate... Our little son... The poisonous hair...has gone... The princess ordered me to come and inform everyone that Xijun will do his best to protect everyone's safety, Please don't worry."
There seemed to be a faint breath of blood in the warm night sky.The candidates in the courtyard were silent for a long time, and the sound of something being slammed to the ground kicked off the prelude to anger.
"It turns out that it was Beijun who poisoned him!"
"Spies! Among us, there are spies from Beijun!"
"Northern county beasts are inferior!"
Nan Gongling walked out of the crowd quickly: "Everyone, we just came to participate in the princess's marriage invitation, but we were framed by such a low-class man for no reason. Even though we are not afraid of life and death, we can't be cowardly under such villainous tricks." .In any case, we must seek justice!"
More and more voices joined in, becoming more and more impassioned: "Please be fair! Please be fair!"
Sun Ben strode forward: "My lord, the princess is in a critical situation and needs protection. I wonder if we can go to support the county prince's mansion?" In the night, his expression was vague and impenetrable.
The manager hesitated, and a figure slowly walked out of the room: "I also want to go to Zhenxi Prince's Mansion. With this sudden change, I can no longer stand by and watch, but I don't know if there is anything I can do in Nanjun."
The stars in the night sky are very bright, the moonlight is soft, and the night that should be peaceful and quiet is full of imperceptible breath of rain.
When everyone arrived at the Xijun Prince's Mansion, the princess had already gone to the north gate in person, leaving only some guards to protect Tantai Rongyue and Eunuch Liu and his party.
There was a lot of wailing in the Xijun Prince's Mansion, and a new spiritual seat was about to be added in the mourning hall.Just now, Princess Chu Ling's younger brother was poisoned and died of vomiting blood.
The lineage of Zhenxi Wang Bai's family has never been seen before.
Eunuch Liu was furious in the vestibule of Xijun Wangfu: "Bold, our family and Miss Tantai are still in Xijun Wangfu, they dare to lead troops to attack blatantly, they clearly don't take the emperor and queen mother seriously!"
In the atmosphere of Ning Su at this time, his words and deeds were particularly abrupt. Chief Guard Deng advised in a low voice: "Eunuch, Prince Zhenxi's son just died tragically. We should not worry too much at this time."
Eunuch Liu said angrily: "Our family is standing out for Xi County! Everyone can see who poisoned the young prince! Poisoned the princes and concubines, the people who came to recruit relatives, and murdered Miss Tantai and our family , to attack Xijun, Beijun is so daring, there is no kingly law!"
Chief Guard Deng whispered again: "Eunuch, there is no conclusive evidence for this matter, so it is inconvenient for me to say more."
Du Ruyuan first went to the mourning hall, put three incense sticks in front of the coffin, and then said to the chief of the county palace: "I want to go to the city gate to have a look." There is no need to get involved in the grievances between Xijun and Beijun.
Du Ruyuan said: "My son has already waded in this muddy water. If soldiers and horses from Beijun break into the city tonight, this son, all the county horses and horses running for election, and the innocent people in the city, who can survive alone?"
Le Yue and others agreed.
The head of the palace and the guards led Du Ruyuan in front, Le Yue, Sun Ben and the others in the back. As soon as they left the mourning hall, Wen Ji suddenly jumped out of the crowd, pulled out the sword at his waist, and pierced through the white wall beside the door. Funeral curtain.
The mourning curtain was torn apart, and a book from the anthology was hung on a person's neck.That man turned out to be the man in blue with short beard who questioned Le Yue loudly in the courtyard.
Wen Ji said in a harmonious voice: "Qian Wuxia, you took advantage of everyone's unpreparedness to hide here, have you completed your work, and are you going to go back and ask for credit from the master?"
Qian Wu's expression changed, and he said with a smile, "Young Master Wen really knows how to joke."
Wen Ji said coldly: "Laughing unscrupulously in the mourning hall, Qian Wuxia really has no taboos."
Qian Wu's expression changed drastically: "What does Mr. Wen want to say?"
Wen Ji squinted his eyes: "When I was in the courtyard, I felt that Qian Wuxia looked strange, as if he was too eager to blame Le Shaoxia. Later, when he came to the county prince's mansion, as expected, Qian Wuxia took advantage of everyone's lack of time to pay attention to others. , quietly disappeared, what are you hiding here, what do you want to do?"
Qian Wu opened his mouth, Wen Ji's sword flicked, and a sword suddenly cut open his skirt.On the fleshy part of the left chest exposed by the ripped skirt, there is a bluegrass tattoo, which is exactly the same as the body of Tantai Rongyue who assassinated that day.
Everyone changed their expressions.
Wen Ji's sword lay across Qian Wu's neck again: "Say, how many accomplices do you have? Where is the antidote?"
Qian Wu suddenly laughed wildly: "The soldiers are already under the city, and the doom of the West County has been decided. You gangsters are just dying, haha, the antidote? I didn't inflict the poison, but even if I have the antidote, you And never get it!"
His laughter became weaker and weaker, black blood came out of his mouth, and he fell to the ground.Several county horse candidates hurried forward and searched Qian Wu's body carefully with Wen Ji, but found nothing.
Nangong Ling frowned and said, "He must have accomplices!"
Wen Ji heaved a long sigh: "That's right, he must still have an accomplice, and the accomplice will have an antidote, but now the clues are all gone, and we don't have time to investigate." He looked up at him, and the sky in the north was turning red. Light.
That is the color that illuminates the sky when countless torches burn.This color represented that the Beijun army was approaching the city.
Le Yue looked in that direction: "Otherwise, we will split into two groups. Brother Wen, you are calm and calm. It seems that the poisoning has not yet deepened, so go to the North City Gate with us. Brother Nangong, you stay here with the others to continue. Find the traitor and the antidote."
Wen Ji said in a deep voice, "Okay, what Brother Le said is true."
Nangong Ling seemed to have objections.Lin Jing interrupted him and said: "Oh, there is no chance to fight now. You are poisoned, and it may have been useless in the past. In the county prince's mansion, there are Miss Tantai and her party, as well as maids and servants who don't know martial arts, and people who have been poisoned in the hotel." You also need protection, you should stay."
Le Yue said: "That's right, if the city breaks down, I'll leave these people to you, the county prince's mansion may have a secret way, by then it will be one who can be saved, and one who can escape!"
Nangong Ling's expression finally became firm: "That's right, we all know martial arts anyway, and we probably won't be able to use the poison path before tomorrow morning, which is enough to do a lot of things. Leave it to us here, Du Shizi, brother Le, take care of yourself."
Le Yue cupped his fists, turned around and rushed to the north city gate.
At the north city gate, half of the sky was filled with dark red.
The steward led Du Ruyuan, Le Yue, Zhao Yuan, Lin Jing, Luo Lingzhi, Ying Ze, Sun Ben and Wen Ji up to the tower. Under the tower, the vanguard officers of the Beijun army were shouting loudly.
"Listen people in the city, the Xijun Prince's Mansion is under the guise of recruiting relatives, and has assembled an army privately with the intention of rebelling. Today, our North County has specially led troops to quell the chaos. If the Xijun Prince's Mansion reined in from the cliff and opened the door to confess, there is still a way to survive! City gate, arrest the traitor!"
Princess Chu Ling stood on the tower in armor, staring at the city gate, like a silent stone statue.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, she turned her head and her eyes fell on Du Ruyuan. The red flames were like big blood-red dahlias blooming around her.
"My mother and concubine are dead, my father and king are dead, and my only younger brother is also dead. I am the only one left in Zhenxi Wang Baishi. Xijun can only rely on me." Her eyes were extremely firm and bright , looking directly at Du Ruyuan, "You have to help me."
Du Ruyuan sighed: "Yes, there is no time."
Sun Ben crossed his arms and leaned against the city wall: "Master, there are a lot of soldiers and horses from Beijun, how do you plan to fight?"
Princess Chuling turned around calmly and looked down at the city. The densely packed soldiers holding torches suddenly parted a gap. A carriage came slowly and stopped not far from the city gate. Yuan saw his face clearly: "He is the one who teaches Le Yue."
However, what he was wearing on his head today was not a square scarf, but a purple gold crown, and what he was wearing was not a commoner garment, but a robe embroidered with python patterns.Behind him is a flag with a word embroidered on it——Mu.
A soldier jumped down from his side, took a horse and turned up, and rode the horse to the gate of the city, and said loudly: "The prince of Anshun came to mediate this matter by order, please open the gate of the city quickly, the prince of the county The soldiers in our hands are all imperial soldiers and horses, and the private grievances between the two counties' palaces should not harm the common people!"
King Anshun?Le Yue was stunned. It was King Anshun who taught him how to train soldiers under the tree?During the Martial Arts Conference, Wang Mingming of Anshun was a kind-looking fat man. How could there be such a huge change within a few months?Princess Chu Ling raised her hand to signal, and immediately a deputy general lay down on the city wall and shouted down: "Report to His Royal Highness Anshun Wang, Beijun slandered our private soldiers and horses in the west county, and used excuses to come to Xijun to commit rebellion. Our princess said I would like to open the gates of the city, and ask Lord Anshun to enter the city to interrogate, but if it proves that we have been wronged, I hope that King Anshun can represent the court and give us justice! North County Zhou Li dog thief poisoned the prince, concubine and the little prince, and poisoned the people who ran for the princess to recruit relatives , don’t crush the dog thief to ashes, it’s just for heaven’s sake!”
Sun Ben stood up straight and said, "So that's the case. The king of Beijun thought that the princess was hoarding soldiers and horses in the city in private, and he thought he had a handle, so he just invited King Anshun to send troops under the pretext, trying to put Xijun to death, but he didn't want to hurt the princess. The assassins of King Anshun came in to investigate, and there must not be a single soldier in the city." He shook his head regretfully, "It's a pity that the sky has no eyes, and this world values men over women. It's a pity that the princess was born in the wrong birth, and she will not be a man in this life."
Princess Chuling smiled and said, "What's the matter with being a woman? Framed, framed, doomed to fail, I only believe in heaven."
Both Zhaoyuan and Linjing were silent.
Le Yue took a step forward: "Princess, if you really believe in the laws of heaven, please take out the antidote."
Princess Chu Ling looked at him with a calm expression like a cloud moored in the sky: "What are you talking about?"
Earlier, when Du Ruyuan and Luo Lingzhi had just tested whether they were poisoned, Lin Jing said anxiously: "Did Beijun go too far in this matter? To poison so many people to death, many of them have some origins. They are not afraid of others looking for him in the future." Revenge."
Le Yue said: "It's not too much. Because this matter was not done by Beijun at all."
Lin Jing was stunned.
For the first time, Zhao Yuan was not in a daze. Recently, Le Yue took him to check things. He felt that what Le Yue found was unexpected, and it was definitely not as simple as Beijun, which can be guessed at once.
Du Ruyuan said: "It's only because it's not Beijun that it's more vicious."
It is indeed vicious.
They all knew who poisoned him and who murdered Tantai Rongyue.But they still didn't expect that the murderer was so vicious that he would not spare even young children.
Le Yue walked to the city wall and turned around to look inside the city. The city is very quiet now, and the people all over the city are waiting for their fate in silence.
"Princess Chu Ling, if King Anshun knew that there is a military path imitated by Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms period in the underground of Jiuyi City, [-] soldiers and horses near Jiuyi can enter the city or hide within an hour. Going into the hollowed-out mountainside on the outskirts of the city, do you think he is helping you, or helping the North County King?"
At first, Le Yue simply discovered that the number of people entering and leaving Jiuyi City every day was very different from the number of candidates entering the Xijun Prince's Mansion.
Moreover, there are too many young talents in the world to participate in recruiting relatives.Are there really so many people in Jianghu who happen to be young and unmarried, who are not afraid of officialdom and power and want to step in?Le Yue patted the bricks and stones of the city wall: "At first, I just guessed whether the Xijun Prince's Mansion was using the pretense of recruiting relatives to take advantage of the opportunity to do something else, because the relationship with Beijun was tense, and anyone who was paying attention would naturally think that it was in the city. Transporting troops. The spies of the King of the North County guessed the same way, so the King of the North County fell for your tricks."
However, because the Xijun Prince's Mansion is too obvious, such a martial and knowledgeable official, anyone with a little wink will be suspicious, and the number plate made of a soldier's plate is simply arousing people's thinking.
"Those few houses in Jiuyi City, people often come and go there recently, and those who are interested will guess whether the princess hid the soldiers there."
But Le Yue went to check and found that there was no room at all, just used as a cover.
"So I have wondered since then whether the princess is plotting something."
Then, according to the blueprint drawn by Zhaoyuan, and after surveying the surrounding conditions of Jiuyi City, Le Yue found that the position of the drainage ditch was very strange, combined with many books that Le Daxia had heard , A paragraph of Cao Cao's military strategy came to his mind, and he finally discovered that Jiuyi City certainly has an underground military strategy.
Le Yue walked up to Wen Ji and scratched the back of his head: "This Mr. Wen should be the princess' guard."
Wen Ji was full of surprise: "I don't quite understand what Le Shaoxia said." As he said this, his hands retracted into his sleeves without moving, and before he touched the secret bag containing the poisonous needle, suddenly It was as if his body was no longer his own, unable to move at all.The nearest Le Yue was five or six steps away from him, no one touched him, no hidden weapons, the tower was empty, and it was not easy to release poison.
They don't have to do that, he knows.
Le Yue said: "Young Master Wen is from Jiangnan, and his father was the leader of a gang related to water transportation. I'm afraid he has dealt with river fish before he can remember. How could he remember that he couldn't pry the shell when he ate crabs for the first time?"
Wen Ji smiled and said: "It's just an unintentional remark, Le Shaoxia pays attention to such small things."
Le Yue said modestly: "I can't help it, brother is from a monastic sect, and used to help people look at faces to earn pocket money."
After discovering that there was something wrong with Wen Ji, Le Yue guessed whether Wen Ji was an undercover agent of the Beijun Prince's Mansion, or someone else sent him.
"It's just that, I think, when Mr. Wen used that sentence to comfort me, he said it a bit bluntly. It seemed that he meant to tell me that it made me suspect that you were an undercover agent in Beijun. I thought I was suspicious."
"After that, Miss Tantai was assassinated."
Beijun has always relied on King Anshun's power, so he probably wouldn't dare to disturb King Anshun's daughter-in-law, the future empress, easily.Moreover, to blame Xijun, you need to train dead men a few years ago and stab a flower in their chest?Taking a brand and charging it for a full charge is obviously similar to that effect.
Looking at the trace of that flower, it was tattooed at least ten years ago. At that time, Xijun and Beijun were connected with each other. Even if their faces and hearts were not in harmony, Beijun didn't have to bother to plot against Xijun.
Doing it deliberately and blatantly, saying that it was framed by others, this kind of thing may also happen.Therefore, if you don't look at it personally, both the North County King and the West County King's Mansion are very suspicious.
But this kind of suspicion is even more terrifying, Le Yue is not sure.
Until the poisoning happened.
"...I just want to see him once, and hear him say a word to me, just one time and a word..."
The man sighed, "Ah Luo, just treat him as dead from birth."
Mrs. Luluo grabbed the silk handkerchief in her hand a little excitedly: "Why should I treat him as dead! He is still alive! He has called your wife for decades, and now your wife has passed away. You gave me a title, and you didn't expect him to recognize me, I just wanted him to say a word to me!"
The man's expression was helpless and heavy: "Ah Luo, it's impossible, you also know what time it is now, you are his mother, and you have to think about his future."
Mrs. Luluo clenched her teeth tightly, wiped away the tears that kept streaming down her face with a silk handkerchief, took a deep breath, and raised her head: "Okay, since you said so, I will not beg you again, nor will I see you again." She stood up, "From now on, you and I will have nothing to do with each other."
She got up and walked to the window quickly, and the man hurried forward and grabbed her: "A Luo, why is your temper always like this? There are some things that everyone has room for, so it's easy to do things."
Mrs. Lu Luo coldly shook off his hand: "I only hate me more than ten years ago. Why didn't I be hard-hearted and know you blindly!" She put on the hood of her black cloak, pushed open the window sash, jumped into the night.
"Unexpectedly, this person turned out to be Mrs. Luluo's old lover." Lin Jing hugged her teacup, sitting at the table and sighing. She and Zhao Yuan kept watch all night, but they didn't see anyone looking for him. In the morning, he cleaned up The burden, and a servant got into the carriage and went out of the city. It seems that he really came to meet Mrs. Luluo's old lover.Lin Jing has been following the carriage all morning, and she didn't find that she stopped halfway or connected with others.
Is it really just a serious suspicion?Du Ruyuan smiled and said: "If you are still worried, you can catch up with that carriage and keep watching."
Lin Jing yawned: "I don't want to do useless work." She went to her room to catch up on sleep.
On the last day of the rehearsal, Le Yue came back in the evening as usual. After eating, when he went to take a bath with Zhao Yuan, he met Young Master Nangong on the way.
Young Master Nangong looked exhausted, and asked Le Yue tentatively: "Brother Le, are you sure?" Le Yue said, "To be honest, I'm not sure."
Young Master Nangong sighed: "If you're not sure, I'm even more lost." He unconsciously raised his hand and pressed on his left rib.
Le Yue asked, "Brother Nangong, are you feeling unwell?" Young Master Nangong shook his head feebly: "No, the doctor brought by my aunt helps me take my pulse every day. There is nothing abnormal, maybe it is caused by my dry heart."
When we arrived at the bathroom, we just met Wen Ji and greeted each other politely.When they went into the changing room to take off their clothes, Le Yue and Zhao Yuan heard someone say from the next door: "In my opinion, Master Wen has a better chance of winning than Master Nangong. He is easy-going and will come to trouble. Unlike that Young Master Nangong, who is not yet weaned." , I have to be accompanied by elders to invite relatives, meals and baths are arranged by myself, and I have never entered this bathhouse."
Another person said: "Hey, whether it's Young Master Wen or Young Master Nangong, after all, isn't the prince of Nanjun's son the best chance of winning? I guess, this competition is just a pretense, and the county horse may end up being Du Shizi .”
Le Yue and Zhao Yuan came out of the changing room with basins in their hands, and the two who had just spoken also came out from the next room. When they saw Le Yue and Zhao Yuan, they immediately realized that they had heard what they had just said, and their greetings were a little embarrassing.
There were so many people bathing today that the small room was already full, Le Yue and Zhao Yuan had no choice but to soak in the big pool outside.When I was dressing after washing, there was a sudden commotion outside.
Le Yue stuck his head out with his belt on, and saw a bunch of people huddled together in one place, and someone shouted: "Don't crowd, first carry him to the edge of the pool and lie flat, quickly help him dress and call the doctor!"
During the chaos, there was another muffled groan and a few exclamations from another place. Le Yue turned his head and saw a man vomit blood and fell headlong.
The people surrounding him exclaimed: "Poisoning, this is poisoning!" Suddenly, some people in the crowd who were exclaiming also spurted black blood, as if they had been cast some kind of spell, and more and more people in the bathroom spurted blood fell down.
The fish pond was in complete chaos: "Poison! Someone poisoned you!"
In the changing room not far from Le Yue, a man fell straight out of the door, his mouth was full of blood: "...this poison...it gets hot when it's hot...get out of the bathroom..."
He turned out to be that Tang Sect disciple Tang Yansheng.
Zhao Yuan helped Le Yue, and together with other people who had no abnormalities, dragged the poisonous people out of the bathroom one by one.
The chief of the county palace and a large number of guards rushed outside the bathroom, and the light from the lanterns illuminated the open space outside the bathroom as bright as day.In the process of transporting the poisoned people, some people fell down again and again.Even the disciples of the Tang Sect and several young masters from the Jianghu medicine family were tricked, and they couldn't tell what kind of poison it was.
The medical officer sent by the Zhenxi Palace checked the poisoned person's pulse, and stammered to the main pipe: "I can't find out what kind of poison it is, but I can see the symptoms of the poison..." He lowered his voice, but the words still fell into the Le Yue and Zhao Yuan, who were standing nearby, heard it. "The symptoms of their poisoning are somewhat similar to those of the prince and princess back then."
Le Yue suddenly thought of something, and dragged Zhao Yuan quickly to the residence.
Lin Jing, Luo Lingzhi and the others were all in the room, they had already heard about the poisoning incident in the bathroom, and they were discussing.Le Yue grabbed Luo Lingzhi: "Brother Luo, what's wrong with you these days?"
So many people can be poisoned, most likely by poisoning food or drinking water, Lin Jing, Zhao Yuan, Shang Jing and Ying Ze are not afraid of poison, Du Ruyuan is half human and half immortal, only Le Yue and Luo Ling are left Possibility of poisoning.
Luo Lingzhi was startled, and said: "These days are the same as usual, there is no abnormality or discomfort."
Le Yue breathed a sigh of relief, and he himself did not have any symptoms.
Lin Jing said: "So many people are poisoned together, tomorrow's audition will definitely fail, the poisoner is quite ruthless."
Le Yue said: "It's not just that it can't be done. I heard from the medical officer that this kind of poison is the same as the poison technique used to poison the prince and princess. The poisoner wants the lives of these candidates."
Lin Jing suddenly changed color. Although Le Yue just said that he was fine, she was still worried. Just as she was about to take out the medicine bottle she carried and stuffed Le Yue with a pill of unicorn elixir, a few maids and attendants hurried in outside the door, and a A medical officer saluted them respectfully.
"I'm here to do a drug test for you under the order of the princess."
One maid took out a roll of silk cloth and unfolded it, while the other maid held a tray with a glazed cup on it.The medical officer said to Le Yue: "My lord, please stretch out your left hand."
The medical officer took a silver needle from the unfolded silk cloth, pierced Le Yue's middle finger, stared at the blood-stained needle tip, then grabbed Le Yue's hand, and squeezed out a few drops of blood into the glass cup.
The bright red blood immediately spread in the glass cup filled with water, and the medical officer breathed a sigh of relief: "Congratulations, young master, you are not poisoned."
Le Yue said: "Dare to ask the medical officer, have you found out why this is poisonous?"
The medical officer only said vaguely: "It hasn't been found out yet, but the poison is silently lurking in the human body. Before the poison occurs, there is no change in the pulse condition. The only way to test the blood is with a silver needle, and then use the prepared medicine to melt the blood. Only then can we find out." He took out a pill from his sleeve and handed it to Zhao Yuan who was beside Le Yue, "I have to go to other rooms for drug testing, please test the rest by yourself, and dissolve this pill in water In the middle, use the silver needle and check it as I did just now. If the silver needle changes color after being stained with blood, or if the blood changes color after entering the potion, please report it to the guards immediately."
After all, he left in a hurry with people.
Le Yue asked Du Ruyuan and Luo Lingzhi to test each according to the law, and neither of them had been poisoned.
But almost all the candidates in other rooms were found to be poisoned, even Nangong Ling was not spared.
Nan Gongling covered her left side and murmured, "It turns out that it's not true energy, it's poison."
Mrs. Nangong was relatively lightly poisoned. She asked the medical officer if there was an antidote to the poison. The medical officer bowed and said, "It's being prepared."
Nangong Ling's face was pale: "Preparation? If there is an antidote, how could the prince and concubine of Zhenxi die from this poison? They came here to seek a beautiful wife, but who would have thought that they would die."
Le Yue and the others were watching from a distance in the corridor, while Du Ruyuan tapped his fan thoughtfully.Le Yue said: "Brother Du, what should we do now?"
Du Ruyuan said: "Don't do anything for now, let's see what happens next."
At three o'clock, all the candidates who had not yet been poisoned gathered in the courtyard.
Wen Ji walked out of the crowd, and said slowly: "There is no antidote for the poison now, we can't just sit and wait for death. Among us, there are not a few people who are proficient in medical skills or pharmacology. Let's first investigate the source of the poisoning, and maybe we can find a way to detoxify." Everyone agreed, and the anthology suggested that those who were not poisoned and those who had been poisoned should be separated from each other. Everyone checked the recent eating activities to see if there was any sign of poisoning. Seeing that there was no objection, he asked the ones who were not poisoned to take the first place on the left. space.
Among the crowd, only Yue Yue, Zhao Yuan, Lin Jing, Luo Lingzhi, and Ying Ze walked out. Due to his special status, Du Ruyuan stayed in the room and never came into the courtyard.After a while, Sun Ben also walked out of the crowd and stood beside them.
Anthology was a little surprised: "There is no one else?"
There was a commotion in the crowd, but no one came out again.
Crisis walked up to Le Yue and the others, cupped his hands and said, "May I ask Le Shaoxia, how are you eating recently, what special places have you been to, and what special things have you done?"
Just as Le Yue was about to answer, someone said loudly: "Why are you the only ones who didn't get poisoned? Could it be you who poisoned me?!"
The commotion among the crowd was even worse.
Le Yue said loudly: "Everyone, we are the ones who added the poisonous injection. Wouldn't it be wise for us to pretend that we have been poisoned?"
The voice just now said: "The county prince's mansion sent people to test the poison one by one. There is no antidote to the poison, so you dare not pretend?"
Le Yue squinted his eyes and saw that the speaker was a thin man of medium build. From the dim light in the corridor, he could only see that he was wearing a blue gown and had a short beard on his lips, looking slightly obscene.
Without waiting for Le Yue to explain again, Wen Ji turned around and said with a smile: "Everyone, I don't think there is anything suspicious about Le Shaoxia and others. For one thing, based on emotion and reason, Dingnan Palace will not poison Chu The horses of Princess Ling are running for the election. They come here, as brother Le said, they can pretend that they have planted poison, but for those who have a little understanding of medicine, it is not difficult to turn the silver needles black and the blood in the medicine to change color. What's more The medical officers only test the candidates, and those who accompany or follow are tested by themselves."
The short-bearded man sneered, "Could Mr. Wen imply that the poisoner is among us?"
Anthology calmly said: "Wen, like everyone else, wants to know the cause of the poisoning as soon as possible. I never speculate on things without real evidence. At this moment, when we are about to unite, if we are suspicious of each other, we will Give those with ulterior motives a chance."
The short-bearded man kept sneering, and when Wenji was asking Le Yue about his diet and actions again, he suddenly saw the head of the Xijun Prince's Mansion with a gloomy and anxious face, and came with a group of guards at an unusually fast pace.Everyone was sensitively aware of the tense atmosphere and couldn't help but hold their breath.
The manager said sadly: "Everyone who participated in the election, the soldiers and horses of Beijun have arrived outside the city gate... Our little son... The poisonous hair...has gone... The princess ordered me to come and inform everyone that Xijun will do his best to protect everyone's safety, Please don't worry."
There seemed to be a faint breath of blood in the warm night sky.The candidates in the courtyard were silent for a long time, and the sound of something being slammed to the ground kicked off the prelude to anger.
"It turns out that it was Beijun who poisoned him!"
"Spies! Among us, there are spies from Beijun!"
"Northern county beasts are inferior!"
Nan Gongling walked out of the crowd quickly: "Everyone, we just came to participate in the princess's marriage invitation, but we were framed by such a low-class man for no reason. Even though we are not afraid of life and death, we can't be cowardly under such villainous tricks." .In any case, we must seek justice!"
More and more voices joined in, becoming more and more impassioned: "Please be fair! Please be fair!"
Sun Ben strode forward: "My lord, the princess is in a critical situation and needs protection. I wonder if we can go to support the county prince's mansion?" In the night, his expression was vague and impenetrable.
The manager hesitated, and a figure slowly walked out of the room: "I also want to go to Zhenxi Prince's Mansion. With this sudden change, I can no longer stand by and watch, but I don't know if there is anything I can do in Nanjun."
The stars in the night sky are very bright, the moonlight is soft, and the night that should be peaceful and quiet is full of imperceptible breath of rain.
When everyone arrived at the Xijun Prince's Mansion, the princess had already gone to the north gate in person, leaving only some guards to protect Tantai Rongyue and Eunuch Liu and his party.
There was a lot of wailing in the Xijun Prince's Mansion, and a new spiritual seat was about to be added in the mourning hall.Just now, Princess Chu Ling's younger brother was poisoned and died of vomiting blood.
The lineage of Zhenxi Wang Bai's family has never been seen before.
Eunuch Liu was furious in the vestibule of Xijun Wangfu: "Bold, our family and Miss Tantai are still in Xijun Wangfu, they dare to lead troops to attack blatantly, they clearly don't take the emperor and queen mother seriously!"
In the atmosphere of Ning Su at this time, his words and deeds were particularly abrupt. Chief Guard Deng advised in a low voice: "Eunuch, Prince Zhenxi's son just died tragically. We should not worry too much at this time."
Eunuch Liu said angrily: "Our family is standing out for Xi County! Everyone can see who poisoned the young prince! Poisoned the princes and concubines, the people who came to recruit relatives, and murdered Miss Tantai and our family , to attack Xijun, Beijun is so daring, there is no kingly law!"
Chief Guard Deng whispered again: "Eunuch, there is no conclusive evidence for this matter, so it is inconvenient for me to say more."
Du Ruyuan first went to the mourning hall, put three incense sticks in front of the coffin, and then said to the chief of the county palace: "I want to go to the city gate to have a look." There is no need to get involved in the grievances between Xijun and Beijun.
Du Ruyuan said: "My son has already waded in this muddy water. If soldiers and horses from Beijun break into the city tonight, this son, all the county horses and horses running for election, and the innocent people in the city, who can survive alone?"
Le Yue and others agreed.
The head of the palace and the guards led Du Ruyuan in front, Le Yue, Sun Ben and the others in the back. As soon as they left the mourning hall, Wen Ji suddenly jumped out of the crowd, pulled out the sword at his waist, and pierced through the white wall beside the door. Funeral curtain.
The mourning curtain was torn apart, and a book from the anthology was hung on a person's neck.That man turned out to be the man in blue with short beard who questioned Le Yue loudly in the courtyard.
Wen Ji said in a harmonious voice: "Qian Wuxia, you took advantage of everyone's unpreparedness to hide here, have you completed your work, and are you going to go back and ask for credit from the master?"
Qian Wu's expression changed, and he said with a smile, "Young Master Wen really knows how to joke."
Wen Ji said coldly: "Laughing unscrupulously in the mourning hall, Qian Wuxia really has no taboos."
Qian Wu's expression changed drastically: "What does Mr. Wen want to say?"
Wen Ji squinted his eyes: "When I was in the courtyard, I felt that Qian Wuxia looked strange, as if he was too eager to blame Le Shaoxia. Later, when he came to the county prince's mansion, as expected, Qian Wuxia took advantage of everyone's lack of time to pay attention to others. , quietly disappeared, what are you hiding here, what do you want to do?"
Qian Wu opened his mouth, Wen Ji's sword flicked, and a sword suddenly cut open his skirt.On the fleshy part of the left chest exposed by the ripped skirt, there is a bluegrass tattoo, which is exactly the same as the body of Tantai Rongyue who assassinated that day.
Everyone changed their expressions.
Wen Ji's sword lay across Qian Wu's neck again: "Say, how many accomplices do you have? Where is the antidote?"
Qian Wu suddenly laughed wildly: "The soldiers are already under the city, and the doom of the West County has been decided. You gangsters are just dying, haha, the antidote? I didn't inflict the poison, but even if I have the antidote, you And never get it!"
His laughter became weaker and weaker, black blood came out of his mouth, and he fell to the ground.Several county horse candidates hurried forward and searched Qian Wu's body carefully with Wen Ji, but found nothing.
Nangong Ling frowned and said, "He must have accomplices!"
Wen Ji heaved a long sigh: "That's right, he must still have an accomplice, and the accomplice will have an antidote, but now the clues are all gone, and we don't have time to investigate." He looked up at him, and the sky in the north was turning red. Light.
That is the color that illuminates the sky when countless torches burn.This color represented that the Beijun army was approaching the city.
Le Yue looked in that direction: "Otherwise, we will split into two groups. Brother Wen, you are calm and calm. It seems that the poisoning has not yet deepened, so go to the North City Gate with us. Brother Nangong, you stay here with the others to continue. Find the traitor and the antidote."
Wen Ji said in a deep voice, "Okay, what Brother Le said is true."
Nangong Ling seemed to have objections.Lin Jing interrupted him and said: "Oh, there is no chance to fight now. You are poisoned, and it may have been useless in the past. In the county prince's mansion, there are Miss Tantai and her party, as well as maids and servants who don't know martial arts, and people who have been poisoned in the hotel." You also need protection, you should stay."
Le Yue said: "That's right, if the city breaks down, I'll leave these people to you, the county prince's mansion may have a secret way, by then it will be one who can be saved, and one who can escape!"
Nangong Ling's expression finally became firm: "That's right, we all know martial arts anyway, and we probably won't be able to use the poison path before tomorrow morning, which is enough to do a lot of things. Leave it to us here, Du Shizi, brother Le, take care of yourself."
Le Yue cupped his fists, turned around and rushed to the north city gate.
At the north city gate, half of the sky was filled with dark red.
The steward led Du Ruyuan, Le Yue, Zhao Yuan, Lin Jing, Luo Lingzhi, Ying Ze, Sun Ben and Wen Ji up to the tower. Under the tower, the vanguard officers of the Beijun army were shouting loudly.
"Listen people in the city, the Xijun Prince's Mansion is under the guise of recruiting relatives, and has assembled an army privately with the intention of rebelling. Today, our North County has specially led troops to quell the chaos. If the Xijun Prince's Mansion reined in from the cliff and opened the door to confess, there is still a way to survive! City gate, arrest the traitor!"
Princess Chu Ling stood on the tower in armor, staring at the city gate, like a silent stone statue.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, she turned her head and her eyes fell on Du Ruyuan. The red flames were like big blood-red dahlias blooming around her.
"My mother and concubine are dead, my father and king are dead, and my only younger brother is also dead. I am the only one left in Zhenxi Wang Baishi. Xijun can only rely on me." Her eyes were extremely firm and bright , looking directly at Du Ruyuan, "You have to help me."
Du Ruyuan sighed: "Yes, there is no time."
Sun Ben crossed his arms and leaned against the city wall: "Master, there are a lot of soldiers and horses from Beijun, how do you plan to fight?"
Princess Chuling turned around calmly and looked down at the city. The densely packed soldiers holding torches suddenly parted a gap. A carriage came slowly and stopped not far from the city gate. Yuan saw his face clearly: "He is the one who teaches Le Yue."
However, what he was wearing on his head today was not a square scarf, but a purple gold crown, and what he was wearing was not a commoner garment, but a robe embroidered with python patterns.Behind him is a flag with a word embroidered on it——Mu.
A soldier jumped down from his side, took a horse and turned up, and rode the horse to the gate of the city, and said loudly: "The prince of Anshun came to mediate this matter by order, please open the gate of the city quickly, the prince of the county The soldiers in our hands are all imperial soldiers and horses, and the private grievances between the two counties' palaces should not harm the common people!"
King Anshun?Le Yue was stunned. It was King Anshun who taught him how to train soldiers under the tree?During the Martial Arts Conference, Wang Mingming of Anshun was a kind-looking fat man. How could there be such a huge change within a few months?Princess Chu Ling raised her hand to signal, and immediately a deputy general lay down on the city wall and shouted down: "Report to His Royal Highness Anshun Wang, Beijun slandered our private soldiers and horses in the west county, and used excuses to come to Xijun to commit rebellion. Our princess said I would like to open the gates of the city, and ask Lord Anshun to enter the city to interrogate, but if it proves that we have been wronged, I hope that King Anshun can represent the court and give us justice! North County Zhou Li dog thief poisoned the prince, concubine and the little prince, and poisoned the people who ran for the princess to recruit relatives , don’t crush the dog thief to ashes, it’s just for heaven’s sake!”
Sun Ben stood up straight and said, "So that's the case. The king of Beijun thought that the princess was hoarding soldiers and horses in the city in private, and he thought he had a handle, so he just invited King Anshun to send troops under the pretext, trying to put Xijun to death, but he didn't want to hurt the princess. The assassins of King Anshun came in to investigate, and there must not be a single soldier in the city." He shook his head regretfully, "It's a pity that the sky has no eyes, and this world values men over women. It's a pity that the princess was born in the wrong birth, and she will not be a man in this life."
Princess Chuling smiled and said, "What's the matter with being a woman? Framed, framed, doomed to fail, I only believe in heaven."
Both Zhaoyuan and Linjing were silent.
Le Yue took a step forward: "Princess, if you really believe in the laws of heaven, please take out the antidote."
Princess Chu Ling looked at him with a calm expression like a cloud moored in the sky: "What are you talking about?"
Earlier, when Du Ruyuan and Luo Lingzhi had just tested whether they were poisoned, Lin Jing said anxiously: "Did Beijun go too far in this matter? To poison so many people to death, many of them have some origins. They are not afraid of others looking for him in the future." Revenge."
Le Yue said: "It's not too much. Because this matter was not done by Beijun at all."
Lin Jing was stunned.
For the first time, Zhao Yuan was not in a daze. Recently, Le Yue took him to check things. He felt that what Le Yue found was unexpected, and it was definitely not as simple as Beijun, which can be guessed at once.
Du Ruyuan said: "It's only because it's not Beijun that it's more vicious."
It is indeed vicious.
They all knew who poisoned him and who murdered Tantai Rongyue.But they still didn't expect that the murderer was so vicious that he would not spare even young children.
Le Yue walked to the city wall and turned around to look inside the city. The city is very quiet now, and the people all over the city are waiting for their fate in silence.
"Princess Chu Ling, if King Anshun knew that there is a military path imitated by Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms period in the underground of Jiuyi City, [-] soldiers and horses near Jiuyi can enter the city or hide within an hour. Going into the hollowed-out mountainside on the outskirts of the city, do you think he is helping you, or helping the North County King?"
At first, Le Yue simply discovered that the number of people entering and leaving Jiuyi City every day was very different from the number of candidates entering the Xijun Prince's Mansion.
Moreover, there are too many young talents in the world to participate in recruiting relatives.Are there really so many people in Jianghu who happen to be young and unmarried, who are not afraid of officialdom and power and want to step in?Le Yue patted the bricks and stones of the city wall: "At first, I just guessed whether the Xijun Prince's Mansion was using the pretense of recruiting relatives to take advantage of the opportunity to do something else, because the relationship with Beijun was tense, and anyone who was paying attention would naturally think that it was in the city. Transporting troops. The spies of the King of the North County guessed the same way, so the King of the North County fell for your tricks."
However, because the Xijun Prince's Mansion is too obvious, such a martial and knowledgeable official, anyone with a little wink will be suspicious, and the number plate made of a soldier's plate is simply arousing people's thinking.
"Those few houses in Jiuyi City, people often come and go there recently, and those who are interested will guess whether the princess hid the soldiers there."
But Le Yue went to check and found that there was no room at all, just used as a cover.
"So I have wondered since then whether the princess is plotting something."
Then, according to the blueprint drawn by Zhaoyuan, and after surveying the surrounding conditions of Jiuyi City, Le Yue found that the position of the drainage ditch was very strange, combined with many books that Le Daxia had heard , A paragraph of Cao Cao's military strategy came to his mind, and he finally discovered that Jiuyi City certainly has an underground military strategy.
Le Yue walked up to Wen Ji and scratched the back of his head: "This Mr. Wen should be the princess' guard."
Wen Ji was full of surprise: "I don't quite understand what Le Shaoxia said." As he said this, his hands retracted into his sleeves without moving, and before he touched the secret bag containing the poisonous needle, suddenly It was as if his body was no longer his own, unable to move at all.The nearest Le Yue was five or six steps away from him, no one touched him, no hidden weapons, the tower was empty, and it was not easy to release poison.
They don't have to do that, he knows.
Le Yue said: "Young Master Wen is from Jiangnan, and his father was the leader of a gang related to water transportation. I'm afraid he has dealt with river fish before he can remember. How could he remember that he couldn't pry the shell when he ate crabs for the first time?"
Wen Ji smiled and said: "It's just an unintentional remark, Le Shaoxia pays attention to such small things."
Le Yue said modestly: "I can't help it, brother is from a monastic sect, and used to help people look at faces to earn pocket money."
After discovering that there was something wrong with Wen Ji, Le Yue guessed whether Wen Ji was an undercover agent of the Beijun Prince's Mansion, or someone else sent him.
"It's just that, I think, when Mr. Wen used that sentence to comfort me, he said it a bit bluntly. It seemed that he meant to tell me that it made me suspect that you were an undercover agent in Beijun. I thought I was suspicious."
"After that, Miss Tantai was assassinated."
Beijun has always relied on King Anshun's power, so he probably wouldn't dare to disturb King Anshun's daughter-in-law, the future empress, easily.Moreover, to blame Xijun, you need to train dead men a few years ago and stab a flower in their chest?Taking a brand and charging it for a full charge is obviously similar to that effect.
Looking at the trace of that flower, it was tattooed at least ten years ago. At that time, Xijun and Beijun were connected with each other. Even if their faces and hearts were not in harmony, Beijun didn't have to bother to plot against Xijun.
Doing it deliberately and blatantly, saying that it was framed by others, this kind of thing may also happen.Therefore, if you don't look at it personally, both the North County King and the West County King's Mansion are very suspicious.
But this kind of suspicion is even more terrifying, Le Yue is not sure.
Until the poisoning happened.
