The person here is to deliver cold dispelling soup.

The water in the pool was too cold, Shi Yu fell into the water before, and walked half of the palace in wet clothes before arriving at this vacant palace.

When Emperor Cheng got the news, he first asked people from Dali Temple to investigate, and second, he ordered his servants to go to the imperial dining room to prepare hot soup for him.

When someone comes in, the conversation can only come to an end.

Qu Liannian wanted to try harder to sell himself, but the other party stopped him with a single sentence: "I don't need it."

He had no choice but to pick up the notepad: "That's fine. But if you change your mind, I can do it anytime."

Shi Yu nodded to show that he heard it.

Before leaving, Qu Liannian seemed to be showing his favor, and said, "There were seventeen assassins who assassinated Mr. Xiang, and all of them died. Half of them committed suicide by taking poison after the rescuers arrived. There is no trace on their body that might reveal their origins. .”

In short, Shi Yu's guesses just now are all correct.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have succumbed so quickly.

Shi Yu sent Dali Siqing away, uncovered the lid of the sand bowl, and took a spoonful of the soup with a spoon.

Two spoons, three spoons, four spoons.

The cold-dispelling soup just out of the pot is naturally boiling hot, and a sand bowl is specially used to keep it warm.

Shi Yu was not in a hurry to drink, but looked at the hot air in front of his eyes, and a layer of water droplets appeared on his eyelashes.

The game wouldn't put such a big smoke bomb at the beginning to confuse the players, so if nothing unexpected happened, the assassination of Xiang's son, even if it wasn't the main storyline of the game, should have a lot to do with the main storyline.

However, the assassination of the son of an official ordered by the imperial court has nothing to do with the war between the two countries mentioned in the previous summary?

He blinked, and the water droplets on the eyelashes rolled down.



It was still early when the palace banquet ended.

Shi Yu returned to his residence and went straight into the study.

"My lord," the personal guard handed over the letter, "Young Master Xiang was rescued by the general's mansion Sheng Yuantang after being assassinated, and has now returned to the prime minister's mansion. He didn't suffer any injuries, but he must have been quite frightened."

Although Doctor Yu Shi was named as an assistant to the prime minister, everyone knew that Emperor Cheng initially selected someone to take office to supervise and check and balance the prime minister, so as to prevent the imbalance of one person's power over the government and the opposition.

In this way, the news about the Prime Minister's Mansion was naturally sent to Doctor Yu Shi immediately, without even inquiring.

Shi Yu repeated the stranger mentioned by the guard: "Sheng Yuantang?"

"Yes." Qin Wei said, "Palace Master Sheng was also attending the palace banquet at the palace, and left immediately after hearing the news, just to rush to rescue Young Master Xiang. What a deep friend. Do you need to check it, sir?"

The content on the letterhead was the same as what Shi Yu said to Qu Liannian before. After reading it, he refolded it and put it aside, ran his fingers over the books on the shelf one by one, and finally pulled out one.

Shi Yu opened the booklet.

The name on the top of the first page of the brochure is Sheng Yuantang.

The Sheng family counted up three generations, followed the late emperor to conquer the Dacheng Kingdom, and later retreated from the front line. The late emperor intended to reward him, and his power as the founding general would not be small.

The prosperity of the Sheng family started from that generation, but now to the generation of Emperor Cheng, the original owner of the Sheng mansion, that is, Sheng Yuantang's father, was shrouded in horse leather on the battlefield, and the power of the Sheng family finally fell to the head of General Sheng's illegitimate son. .

Although Sheng Yuantang has the title of head of the General's Mansion on his head, his actual age is only 19 even now.

Such a young man would naturally not have a better life in the General's Mansion under his command. The inside struggled for power every day, and the outside wanted to take a bite out of it. It would not be an exaggeration to describe it as internal and external troubles.

The personal guard didn't hear his order for a long time, and asked again: "My lord, do you need your subordinates to investigate the relationship between Palace Master Sheng and Young Master Xiang?"

Shi Yu gave a "hmm" and suddenly said, "Young Master Xiang should be about the same age as Sheng Yuantang?"

"Yes, they are the same age."

"Sheng Yuantang is still studying at the Imperial Academy?"

"Yes," the guard finally came to his senses when he heard this, "The same goes for Young Master Xiang, and this subordinate will investigate in this direction."

"Go."

As soon as the guards left here, the maid knocked on the door: "My lord, His Majesty just sent someone here and sent some nourishing things."

Shi Yu took out another booklet from the bookshelf, pulled out a chair and sat down at the desk: "Let's deal with it."

The maid responded and withdrew.

How did Sheng Yuantang and Xiang Yanchao, the young son of the prime minister's family, know each other, and why did they sacrifice their lives to save each other?

Shi Yu is actually not very inclined to end the war between the two countries because of what happened to the two of them in the past, and the final focus still has to fall on the assassination.

More importantly, he has never seen any of the two protagonists in the story.

But there is no need to do anything about this, it will be solved automatically the next day.

When he went to the court the next day, because the prime minister mentioned above, Emperor Cheng naturally mentioned the matter in front of all the officials, condolences to the prime minister and ordered the minister of Dali Temple to find out the truth as soon as possible.

Qu Liannian felt miserable in his heart, and he could only accept it on the surface.

Then there is Sheng Yuantang who saved lives.

Emperor Cheng looked down at the steps: "What reward does Sheng Aiqing want?"

Sheng Yuantang raised his gaze: "Your Majesty, please allow me to inherit my father's mantle, retreat the barbarians to the border, and protect my Dacheng Kingdom."

Full of uproar.

The military power of the Sheng family has been passed down in one continuous line until General Sheng died in battle.Everyone thought that Sheng Yuantang would not be able to hold it, but no one thought that he not only held it, but even planned to continue holding it.

If he was really allowed to go to the battlefield, he might not be able to be called Master Sheng after he came back.

It's a pity that the ancestors of the Sheng family have been ghosts on the battlefield for generations. Now that Sheng Yuantang wants to inherit his father's mantle, no one can give any reason to refuse.

Chengdi seemed to think for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement.

After Shi Yu received the news, it was already after the emperor finished writing the imperial decree and issued it.

He couldn't escape the negative impact of falling into the water the day before. He developed a high fever at night and directly complained to the emperor that he was absent from the morning court. At this moment, he was writing a pen on the scroll while listening to the report of his subordinates: "Sheng Yuantang was sent to the border. gone?"

"Everyone used to think that Sheng Yuantang was just an idle son who was unlucky and gifted to inherit his father's career." The guard lowered his head, "I never thought that ambition is not small."

Shi Yu didn't look at him: "Since he can win the power of Sheng Mansion among so many people, how could he have no ambitions."

"It's the subordinates who are stupid."

"What about Xiang Yanchao?"

The personal guard was about to report this: "There is still no clue about the person behind the assassination of Young Master Xiang. I heard that Dali Temple is also in trouble. I have found out about him and Palace Master Sheng."

"They have had contact with each other since they were in the Imperial College, but they are not close to each other. Just talking about Palace Master Sheng, he can have a chat with anyone in the Imperial College whoever he meets."

Shi Yu listened: "What about Yu Xiang Yanchao?"

Qin Wei said: "Young Master Xiang is naturally indifferent and doesn't like to associate with others, but being able to maintain a relationship with Palace Master Sheng to meet and chat for a few words is considered special to a certain extent."

To put it bluntly, Sheng Yuantang is an extrovert who makes many good friends and wins many friends, and Xiang Yanchao is just an unusual one among all his friends; but for the introverted Xiang Yanchao, he is not afraid of his cold face Sheng Yuantang is probably the only friend.

But it is clear that one of them is the head of the General's Mansion, which is on the verge of collapse, and the other is the son of the current prime minister. No matter how you look at it, the latter should be more attractive than the former.

The ink under the pen was slightly dry, Shi Yu's pen was stained with ink on the inkstone, and continued to write.

But at this moment, a person suddenly broke in from outside, knelt down and said, "My lord, something happened."

The personal guard frowned and reprimanded: "Why are you still so edgy in front of adults?"

The guard apologized, and hurriedly said: "The Seventh Prince was assassinated in the palace and died directly in the palace!"

Shi Yu tapped his pen, and a bird outside the window suddenly started.

[This launch node has ended, players will return soon]

Vision suddenly blurred.

When it was clear again, it was still the original secret room, with a round table, a chandelier above the head, and ten players sitting together.

Before everyone could react, there was a scream.

One of the male players fell to the ground, a hole was poked out in his chest by something, and the bright red blood overflowed from the fingertips of the player's hands covering his chest, soaking the entire skirt in a short time.

In just a few seconds, the male player died due to blood loss.
