What about the soft and cute bamboo horse I am a freshman?

"He's so small."

"It will grow up slowly in the future."

"Does he have a name?"

"No, when he is one year old, His Majesty will personally name him."

"That's right, after all, he is Beicheng's most talented...a genius at drawing arrays."

Jinshi felt something rambling in his head, he tried to hear it clearly, but he could only hear a few words, and then the words were melted into a sea of ​​flames.

"what……"

He sat up suddenly, panting heavily, the sweat from his body soaked his underwear.

With a "squeak", Jinshi turned his head and looked blankly at the source of the sound, and found that it was Yuanchu who pushed the door in.

"woke up?"

Yuan Chu held a roll of yellow things on the table, then poured a glass of water, put it on the small table beside the bed, helped him sit up, and put a cushion behind him.

Jin Shi was still a little dizzy, so Yuan Chu stuffed water into his hand, and he took a few sips while holding the cup, the dry heat in his throat was relieved a lot, and he became much more energetic.Reason and memory began to gradually return.

The cave, the corridor, the red flame, and Xu Yunhe...

"Song... Mr. Song!"

Jinshi turned over and was about to get off the ground, but was pushed back on the bed by Yuanchu.

"Song Chengyuan is dead."

This sentence made Jinshi froze, and then his body softened. He sat on the edge of the bed, stared blankly at Yuan Chu, and murmured: "It turns out...it's all true."

Yuan Chu sighed, the late spring weather didn't need to cover him with a quilt, he sat on the chair beside the bed, took Jinshi's hand to feel his pulse.

"In addition to Song Chengyuan, Xu Yun and the boss of Jin Lixuan also died. There is only one young eunuch who was blinded by the smoke and couldn't ask any questions. His Majesty ordered him to die."

Jin Shi was in a daze: "They are all dead?"

Yuan Chu nodded heavily: "They are all dead."

But didn't Xu Yun escape with that boss and the little eunuch?Not only did they escape, but they also sealed the entrance of the cave with fire, trying to put him to death!why...

Didn't they set the fire?

Jin Shi recalled the voice he vaguely heard before he fell into a coma. Could it be that he was hallucinating?

He couldn't help but grabbed Yuan Chu's hand and asked, "How did they die?"

At the beginning of Yuan Dynasty, he pondered for a while, and told him from the beginning.

After Jinshi disappeared, the Tuzhen Division and Jingyin sent a large number of people to search, but there was no news. It was not until night that Liang Fang captured Jinshi's aura through the capital formation, and then took people to the south of the city. Go to Mingfang Mountain.

The south of the city is far away from the north of the city. Liang Fang led people through the entire city. Just as they stepped into Mingfang Mountain to search the mountain, the mountain suddenly shook. Immediately afterwards, a corner of Mingfang Mountain burst into flames.

"The underground structure of the capital is special, with a large number of underground rivers and karst caves. At the beginning of the establishment of the Damu Dynasty, the Taizu asked people to find out the underground structure, and built secret escape routes according to the underground river trend and karst cave distribution, and then set about Draw the array and draw the teleportation array." Yuanchu said, "The underground map and the distribution map of the array are kept by the emperor, and they are passed on to the prince when he passes on the throne. But unexpectedly, Xu Yun also got this underground map .”

When Liang Fang was protecting Emperor Fengyuan from the palace, he relied on this map to wait for Xu Zhang to lead his troops back to help, and then the map was passed on to Emperor Yujing Xu Zhang.

"But," Jin Shi was puzzled, "didn't it be said that they were blocked in the secret passage during King Wen's rebellion? Xie Chong used this map to escape at that time?"

In other words, this map was probably obtained or seen by Xie Chong at that time?

"No," Yuan Chu shook his head, "The secret passage that Xie Chong was blocked was the secret passage he dug when he was in trouble. There are formations in the secret passages of the underground karst caves in the royal capital. In addition to the map, there are also formations. If you enter rashly, you will get lost in it if you are not careful, and there are many formations inside, and rashly moving the formations may cause immeasurable consequences."

From this point of view, Xu Zhang's personal eunuch Deyu should have given the map and formation to Xu Yun, but Xu Yun and his party, Song Chengyuan, no longer drew formations, and the other two did not know formations, and they even destroyed secret passages. At that time, the shopkeeper named Qin Cheng also used the mechanism on the wall.

So these formations can only be activated by Xu Yun who has been unsealed, and Xu Yun asked him to unseal the spirit seal in order to activate the formations?

This argument barely makes sense, but Jinshi still finds it a bit weird.

"Wait," Jinshi suddenly remembered, "You just said that Mingfang Mountain shook and lit up before Liang Fang found the entrance?"

"Yeah," Yuan Chu let go of his wrist and frowned, "When Liang Fang rushed over, he saw you and that Jingyan lying beside a small cave in Mingfang Mountain. Jingyan couldn't speak anymore. What happened inside, now only you can restore what happened."

Jin Shi felt dizzy for a moment after hearing Yuan Chu's words.

he?At the mouth of the cave?

He clearly remembered that he fainted from the smoke in the tunnel!

How could it be at the entrance of the cave?

As for Xu Yun and the others, didn't they want to set fire to themselves?Why did they die inside instead?

Jin Shi thought it was Liang Fang who rushed to save him, but according to what Yuan Chu said, Liang Fang was just preparing to search the mountain at that time.

But he clearly remembered that when the shopkeeper of Jinlixuan hurried in, he said "someone is coming".

Isn't that person Liang Fang? !

Jin Shi thought of the voice he heard on the eve of coma.

Isn't that an auditory hallucination?Did someone really go in and save him?

who can that be?

Jinshi remembered the touch of red that he saw in a daze.

Red hair, North adult, it can't be Merong Hyuk, right?

and many more!

"Tu Yang!" He said nervously to Yuan Chu, "Where is Tu Yang?"

Yuan Chu didn't know why, but he still replied: "Isn't Tu Yang holding it in your hand? You passed out at the time and held Tu Yang in your hand. We took a lot of effort to pull it out of your hand." Return it to the Supervisor of Rituals."

Tu Yang in his hands? !

Jinshi suddenly felt a little cold, he remembered that he was clearly unable to hold onto Tu Yang, and Tu Yang fell to the ground.

"Then..." Jinshi asked again, "Tu Yang, is there any problem? For example, the Venus points in the back don't match the record?"

Yuan Chu shook his head: "There is no problem, the number can match."

He touched Jinshi's forehead worriedly: "Why are you worried about Tu Yang?"

Jinshi forced a smile: "It's nothing, so now, except for me, no one knows the truth about this matter anymore?"

"No," Yuanchu pondered for a while, and said, "One of the three generals of the Yulin Army was found to have a relationship with Jin Lixuan, and some money transactions were found out from the accounts. Later, when the general was interrogated, he confessed truthfully. Xu Yun's plan, as long as Xu Yun's assassination of His Majesty is successful, they will join forces with Tao Baiyang's painters to control the capital, and then Xu Yun can spread rumors of the collusion between His Majesty and Beicheng, and then use Mo Ronghe as evidence , it was strange for him to defect to the enemy at the beginning, but when His Majesty dies, even if Merong He refutes it, it will be regarded as sophistry."

The dead can't be distinguished for themselves. If Xu Zhang died in that battle, Xu Yun, who is the only other royal blood, would naturally be able to ascend the throne.

And Liu Qing, who holds the military power, has been evacuated by Xu Zhang a lot in these years. Most of his army is in the northern border. The prince's person is him, and Xu Yun can still label him as instigating Xu Zhang to cooperate with the enemy.

Of course, all of this is based on the fact that Xu Zhang died during the formation test.

"It can be said," Yuan Chu sighed, "If you hadn't rescued him back then, Xu Yun might have succeeded."

This plan is similar to what Xu Yun told himself in the cave at that time. Jin Shi hesitated for a while, and then asked: "Have you found out anything else?"

Yuanchu thought for a while and said: "The rest is that some officials from the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households have colluded with Xu Yun, but those are not bad."

"No," Jinshi organized his words, "I mean, has Xu Yun stationed troops?"

At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, he was taken aback: "Target troops?"

"Xu Yun took me away mainly because he asked me to release the spirit seal on his wrist." Jin Shi frowned, "He said he failed this time, and he just wants to be a simple array painter from now on." And Song...Song Chengyuan still said that they are going far away, but I always feel that something is wrong."

Xu Yun failed, what he has to do is how to escape quickly, this matter has not been found out on him before, why did he ask Jing Yan to steal Tu Yang out?Do you still have to ask him to unlock the spirit seal for him?If it was for escape, he could have Tao Baiyang send a Nanya painter to activate those formations with him, there is no reason for him to go into battle himself.

Jinshi's guess is, could Xu Yun have stationed troops somewhere, and then after he recovered, he would use the underground map of the capital in his hand to let these dead private soldiers sneak into the palace to assassinate or kidnap the emperor?

But he also felt that this was impossible, the underground caves and underground rivers were complicated, and there were many formations, even if Xu Yun really had a detailed map, and he planned to use these underground formations to cooperate with his private soldiers, so many people came in, then When it comes to big array moves, is Liang Fang, who draws the big guard array for the capital, just idle?

What's more, if he had stationed troops, the imperial court would have discovered that there were so many people making such a big move, and he didn't need to bribe a general of the Imperial Forest Army.

At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, he also felt that something was wrong: "Isn't he possessed by a demon? If he unlocks the spirit seal, he will go crazy, right?"

Jin Shi told Yuan Chu truthfully what happened in the cave, except for the last part of the tunnel, Yuan Chu was silent for a while after listening, and his face became serious.

"He said that the purpose of making a contract with Lan An was to help him get the original score of Huangquan Naihe Formation from the Liang family?"

Jinshi didn't expect Yuanchu to focus on this.

"No, this matter has passed," Jinshi said, "The main reason is that Xu Yun's forces are all really found out now? There will be no other remaining forces, right? Tao Baiyang is greedy for so much money from Mo Nanya, Does it match up with the bribes accepted by these relevant officials?"

When Yuan Chu first heard that he asked this, he shook his head helplessly with a smile: "The thing you said is 'past'."

Jinshi didn't understand.

Yuan Chu stretched out his hand and rubbed his head: "Xu Yun is dead, no matter how powerful he is, those powers will not be able to help a dead person ascend the throne."

Jin Shi was slightly startled.

That's right, Xu Yun is dead. Even if he has any strategic plans, those people have already fallen and scattered. Those who are found out will be arrested and sent to prison. the past.

"So," Jin Shi didn't know what to say, "Now His Majesty is not so attached to the truth, is he?"

It doesn't matter what happened in the cave. Xu Yun is dead. The forces that found out that he is related to him have already explained Xu Yun's plan clearly.

But how and why Xu Yun died, most of them will regard it as their own fault.

Jinshi felt a little uneasy, he wanted to tell his experience in the tunnel, but a voice told him again, it's better not to tell anyone.

Does it matter if that touch of red is Merong Hyuk?

He saved himself and brought out Tu Yang, who returned to Zhao intact without any trace of being used.

Merong He and the emperor still have an alliance that only the two of them know about.

If he confessed the "suspected" Merong Hyuk, in the eyes of His Majesty, who had almost been stigmatized, he might still think that there was something wrong with him.

Jin Shi silently sighed in his heart, he was a little unwilling, but he was helpless.

"Oh, that's right," Yuan Chu stood up, took the bright yellow roll from the table, and handed it to Jinshi, "This is a reward from His Majesty."

"reward?"

Jin Shi took the imperial decree, and there was a gift list in the imperial decree, which was all given by His Majesty. Jin Shi casually put the gift list aside, opened the imperial decree, and the imperial decree gave him a bunch of high hats in front of it, the last sentence Made him freeze up.

"Specially granted the title of Jiuyao."

The author has something to say:

This volume ends here.The old people in the title of the volume refer not only to Jinshi and Yuanchu, but also Song Chengyuan and Xu Yun. So far, the role of these "old people" is over, and it can be said that the chaos of King Wen has come to an end.Later, I began to decipher Yuanchu's identity, Merong Hyuk's purpose, and so on.

Regarding Song Chengyuan, Song Chengyuan is actually a very complicated person. The reason why he hates Beicheng is because Beicheng is the direct murderer of his brother, but Liang Hang's behavior is similar to "let me use it if you are dead." , coupled with Xu Yun's provocation, made him feel resentful. He waited for Liang Hang to complete the formation before starting because this was his only chance (Liang Hang's weak period), killing Liang Hang was simple and rude. He used Lingzhi, which is the one in his hand, so he couldn't continue to draw arrays, because drawing arrays is painting his heart, and he thought of Liang Hang as soon as he used Lingzhi. He has been brainwashing himself for so many years. What he did was That's right, coupled with the fact that Xu Zhang, who later learned Liang Hang's support, formed a pact with Merong Hyuk, which made Song Chengyuan more and more determined in his own mind, thus following Xu Yun.

It is said that Xu Zhang is a little bit "praising" Jin Shi now, the two brothers really have no good things.
