Si Tian Guan

Before Liu Chongming had passed the dismounting stone, he saw someone waiting outside the palace gate from a distance, he hurriedly got off his horse, threw the reins to the person behind him, and went up to meet him.

"I'm going to trouble Commander Bo today."

"Where is it? It's just a matter of raising your hand, and I would like to trouble the prince to come over in person." Bo Yan smiled and cupped his hands, but his eyes passed Liu Chongming and fell on the people who followed behind.

The man looked at the clothes and had no official title, he was just a follower in the Jinxiu camp, but he met this gaze, looked at Bao Yan for a moment, then snorted through his nostrils, and turned his face away.

Liu Chongming smiled, and walked inward side by side with the somewhat embarrassed Bo Yan.

"Commander Bo has been busy, I haven't had a chance to apologize to Commander yet, this time I have to disturb Commander again."

Naturally, what he was talking about was the matter of Ren Rui and Zuo Xiaoying. At that time, he was holding the emperor's order, and Nanya was under the command of King Qi, so he had already told King Qi.

Let's talk about it now, firstly, this time, we have to pick up people from Nanya again, and secondly, to see the situation on Bo Yan's side.

Although Bo Yan was responsible for dispatching the Nanya soldiers before, but once the banner of King Qi was gone, Bo Yan's embarrassment and helplessness appeared.

King Huai and King Ning almost couldn't express their covetousness for Nanya, but Bo Yan couldn't express his suffering, and he couldn't even tell the emperor.

Nanya needs a new leader, and Bo Yan needs a new asylum, someone who can hold an important position in front of the emperor and speak well.

Although Mu Jingchen was crowned king, it was far from possible to replace King Qi's position in the court.

Liu Chongming had already guessed Bo Yan's intentions since Bo Yan came to him under the guidance of Qu Shenzhou, but he knew his own weight and knew that he couldn't bear this burden.

"Your Majesty will be offended if you say that," Bo Yan forced a smile with a tired face on his face, "If there is really a problem among the patrolling guards, it's my dereliction of duty, so it can't be called bothering you."

The three of them went west along the palace wall and entered the inspection room, where the daily inspection rotation and waist card collection were routinely recorded.

The watchman had already received the order, and handed Bo Yan the duty booklet from a few days ago. The three of them entered the room. Liu Chongming nodded, and took the booklet and turned around behind the screen.

Bo Yan waited for a long time, but didn't hear the other party take the initiative to speak, but heard his own heartbeat getting faster and faster.

It had been a long time since he was so at a loss, as if the person standing in front of him was still the same person, as if he was about to hear a reprimand for himself in the next moment.

"Master..." After so many years, he called out these two words again for the first time: "Master, is he... okay?"

Fang Wuyang folded his arms, leaned against the beam, glanced at him, and then cast his gaze in the direction of the screen.

Bo Yan was even more embarrassed, his fingernails gently caressing the mahogany table top.If he hadn't been lucky enough to be spotted by others, he wouldn't be qualified to sit here now.

But when the master hung the seal and left, he flinched shamefully.

Although he would never deceive his master and destroy his ancestors like Liao Guangming, he would not be able to argue for his master, and he would not be able to advance and retreat with his master. The only thing he could do was to quietly stop Liao Guangming.

Compared with Liao Guangming, he thought he had done a better job, but that night became a nightmare for many years, and he saw his conscience.

Guilt is a worm that feeds and grows unconsciously, gnawing deeper and deeper into the hole of conscience.

The appearance of Fang Wuyang is a sharp knife piercing into the hole, and it is also his redemption with relief.

"Is your name Fang Wuhai?" Bo Yan asked softly, "I saw that your hand skills are good, but your footwork is not solid. Master, he..."

Fang Wuyang finally responded this time: "Since you see it, I won't hide it from you—his legs are getting worse and worse. But don't expect me to bring you to see him, you are not willing to hurt him once?"

Bo Yan had a lump in his throat, unable to refute, and asked after a while: "Has Master ever told you about me..."

"What do you want him to say about you?"

Bo Yan was speechless, he had thought of all kinds of possibilities long before meeting this junior, and this answer was considered the most gentle one.

In fact, he should have thought earlier that Master's character...

"You also know Master's temper." Fang Wuyang looked at him from the corner of his eye, sighed a long and rare sigh, and then said reluctantly: "Whoever goes is not to be persuaded, but whoever comes is to be pursued."

"He seldom complains about things that have passed, and there is no need to ramble about recalling them like an old man."

"It's just that before I came to Beijing, he had a quick drink with me, got me drunk, and told me not to get drunk again."

"It was also the only time he mentioned you that day."

"He said, when you see Bo Yan, say one more thing - instead of staying on the wrong things you have done, you should stand up and do something right. Take it!"

Bo Yan was stunned when he heard it, but was suddenly awakened, and reflexively took the things in his hands.

The sealed oilcloths were opened one by one, and a sharp dagger was inserted in the honeysuckle leather case. The blade was cold, but it seemed to be scorching hot that he dared not touch it.

"He said he promised you before, and later he found a good piece of iron, which is the most suitable for hitting. It's just that he is not in good health, so he guided me to hit it, so let's make do with it."

Bo Yan stroked the dagger, and suddenly burst into tears.

Liu Chongming's eyes fell on the duty booklet, but he could hear the choking sound outside, which was extremely light and restrained, and soon disappeared.

After all, this is not a place where you can let yourself cry.

But with just this sound, he was already relieved.

Since Bo Yan visited his father late at night and asked about Pei Xiao's situation, he had such a plan, and Qu Shenzhou opened up a new way for him to leverage Bo Yan.

Fang is fine.

With the direction guided by Qu Shenzhou, he already has an [-]|[-]% chance of winning this result.

The only thing left is Wenlan's murder.

In fact, this matter is not very difficult, with the emperor's oral order, he brought the two eunuchs to Jinxiu Camp.

The little eunuch who was watching the night outside Guanxing Pavilion was not a hard-headed one, after staying up for a long time, he let go, and admitted that Xiao Liangzi had indeed come to pass Qu Sitian around the time of Haishi, and Qu Sitian said that the time to go out was not bad at all.

And the small beams that could be placed beside the emperor were not so easy to pry.

Now that Xu Ziwen has been promoted to an official position, he is in charge of a first-level prison, and he is anxious to make a good contribution in front of Commander Liu, but he only consumed a few drops of Bi Hongzi, and Xiao Liangzi howled and cried, and he did everything.

But the result of this confession was not what Liu Chongming wanted, and the person who made Xiao Liangzi falsely preach the imperial decree pointed to Concubine Xian's palace.

Although Concubine Xian sent people to him, the people who could be placed next to the empress were different from other places. It was Concubine Xian who killed her with one bite, and in the end she could only get a dead body.

It wasn't until he saw it with his own eyes that Liu Chongming realized Bi Hongzi's horror. Every scream was like a barbed iron, pulling repeatedly in the hole in his heart.

In the past, he was so ignorant that his crime was unforgivable, every time he knew more of the truth, every time he recalled the past, every breath he was living now was suffering.

Not to mention that you can still see Qu Shenzhou every day.

He longed for Qu Shenzhou to talk to him a few more words, but such an opportunity and qualification had already been abandoned by himself.

Liu Chongming wiped his face heavily, pulled himself together, and flipped through the duty booklet.

He asked Ling He about the case, discussed and analyzed it several times, and felt that Wen Lan was not mentioned in Xiao Liangzi's confession at all, so he was at a loss when he asked.

It is very possible that Wen Lan's death has nothing to do with the matter of leading Qu Shenzhou to Yuxiu Palace.

It just happened to happen at the same time, and fortunately so.

In this way, we can only start from Wenlan's Anle Palace.

As early as when the Zuo Xiao camp had an accident, a few words of the interrogation inevitably spread, and many people looked at the young commander with admiration.

After he even brought a few people to Jinxiu Camp but never returned, the palace people couldn't help shivering when they saw him, let alone the delicate girls.

He asked a few court ladies who had been close friends with Wenlan in the past, and they quickly confessed that Wenlan had become a little weird for a few months, and those who had a better relationship said that Wenlan had embroidered in private. The veil was embroidered, but she didn't use it.

What is inside and outside the words, even Liu Chongming has figured it out without the maids explaining.

This girl must have a sweetheart, and to make Wenlan look like this, she can't be the eunuch who is the opposite food, but only the guards who often walk around the palace.

With Bo Yan's cooperation, it is only necessary to check the soldiers who entered the palace that day, especially those who inspected the section between Yuxiu Palace and Compassionate Ning Palace, someone must have walked alone.

It only takes a little cross-examination to find out the person Wenlan had a tryst with. As for Wenlan's death, it must be related to that person.

But these are not the most worrying things in Liu Chongming's heart, his worries are only on Qu Chenzhou.

When it comes to the murder case in the palace, the reason why the emperor didn't let the queen intervene can be imagined, but he didn't hand over the person to Linghe, but directly handed it over to himself.

He was not sure what it meant, so he went back to the Hou Mansion.

Father could see the emperor's thoughts more clearly, and what he said made him break out in a cold sweat.

The emperor understood better than anyone else that he couldn't help but rely more and more on Qu Shenzhou.

But there is no such a good place to go around the emperor, whether it is the emperor's own thought, or someone calmly reminded him, the emperor puts all the people who may doubt it in his sight.

Including Liu Chongming.

This time sending Qu Shenzhou to Jinxiu Camp, what the emperor wants to test is Liu Chongming's attitude.

Liu Chongming is now in a dilemma, in a dilemma.

Even if it was acting, he would not be able to torture Qu Shenzhou, let alone use perjury to make Qu Shenzhou responsible for Wenlan's murder.

Not to mention, after him, if the emperor sent someone to King Huai for testing, what would happen to Qu Chenzhou.

He didn't dare to gamble.

But what would the emperor be thinking if he clearly followed up the case and sent Qu Chenzhou back to the palace?

Whether it is Qu Shenzhou or him, they may immediately become the target of public criticism, and all the hardships and tortures Shen Zhou suffered before are all in vain.

On the other hand, Qu Shenzhou asked him to push down the Thousand Sons Pagoda in the south within five months.

Although he didn't know what Qu Chenzhou wanted to do, what he saw in him, but the little fox was pale at that time, it seemed that he had spent a lot of effort, and he was willing to ask him for help, it must not be a trivial matter.

Even if there is a mountain of knives in front of him, he must go.

Liu Chongming seemed to be being roasted back and forth on the fire, but he had to force himself to calm down——Qu Chenzhou was walking on the tip of a knife, if he panicked, how could he support him well.

Seeing the sun shining on the desk from the window, he drew a map of the inspection route that night, and wrote down the names of several people before he got out of the screen.

Bo Yan's expression has returned to normal, but when sending the two of them out, he still couldn't help but glance at Fang Wuyang a few more times.

"My lord," he bowed his hands to the two in front of the palace gate, and in response to Liu Chongming's thanks, there was something in his words: "It's a little effort, your lord, you are welcome. If you still have something for me to serve, you don't have to be so polite."

"Don't dare to bother Commander Bo all the time, let alone service." Liu Chongming smiled faintly: "When I just want to take care of you, please take care of Commander Bo."

Bo Yan's eyes flickered, as if he understood what Liu Chongming was talking about, but he couldn't figure it out.

Horseshoes bound with straw got stuck in the mud.

Although it has been only drizzle all the time, it has been underground for several days, and the ground is deep and shallow when walking, but now the horseshoe is also stuck, which is a big trouble for the team.

Jiang Xingzhi's head and face were all black, he was extremely embarrassed, and he was not half as elegant as before.

Together with the others, he pulled the rein with all his strength, and finally pulled the neighing horse out.

King Qi threw the whip on the ground, leaned against the wet stone beside him panting, wanted to curse, and looked at the sky covered with dark clouds, but he didn't even have any extra strength.

The hundred and ten people sat silently in place for a while, when the sound of horseshoes stepping on the ground and splashing mud and water came from afar.

Everyone looked up in one direction.

Jiang Xingshang went forward to greet the man in front of King Qi. The scouts were exhausted from running and almost threw themselves on the ground.

"My lord, there are people waiting in the town to the northwest. There are not many people, about three No. 40. The subordinates didn't dare to stay longer, and they didn't observe their skills."

Jiang Xingzhi waved his hand to let the man back down, then looked at the frowning King Qi, and called out, "My lord."

Although the scouts didn't test, they all knew that those who could wait on the road would definitely not be soldiers and crab generals. With so many of them, it was impossible for them to bypass the other party's sight.

"Fuck!" Qi Wang couldn't help cursing: "I actually fell to this point one day."

"My lord, don't panic. Although the road is bumpy, haven't we come here?" Jiang Xingzhi comforted him: "After Jiping, we will be safe when we arrive at the lord's fief."

King Qi looked at Jiang Xingzhi in a mess, and said with emotion after a long time: "Xingzhi, I really never thought that it would be you who would follow me faithfully. Fortunately, you arranged this journey."

Jiang Xingzhi smiled: "My lord, now is not the time to say this - do you want to detour to the southwest?"

One can imagine that the southwest direction will not be a peaceful place.

King Qi frowned: "Near the mountains but not the water... Let's go, I shouldn't believe this, if you go by water..."

He sighed and stopped talking.

According to the current situation, some people don't want him to go to the fief. Even if he goes by water, it may not be smooth sailing. If he is not good at water warfare, he may suffer even more.

"My lord, don't be discouraged and regret it. The letter asking for help from the capital should be arriving soon. Even if the reinforcements from the capital can't arrive for a while, it's time for Jiping to come to meet him."

Jiang Xingzhi gently twisted his fingers in his sleeve, as if the secret letter that had turned into ashes was still in his hand.

"My lord, there is no need to worry, everything has been arranged, and everything will come true."

The author has something to say: I ordered a durian mille-feuille today [happiness is soaring to the sky haha], thank you for your blessings, let’s be happy and happy together!

PS: It is estimated that many people have forgotten what the Pagoda of Thousand Sons is. It appeared when I wrote about sin and giving birth. The emperor built the pagoda in four directions. It was said to be a blessing, but it was actually afraid of the baby woman who killed him. Follow the story and read slowly. Every time Shenzhou starts to cast the net, you may not understand the butterfly effect that will happen. You will know when you close the net. I dare not 100 every time it will not go empty % Guaranteed, but more than [-]% of the plots are not useless, there are back and forth, emmm, according to my current estimation, it will end in May, there will be some estimation errors before and after, and there will be a few chapters in the middle of the lock text warning,
