Act 81 [Dragon Sparrow] (I)

The dragon sparrow is also known as "Fei Lian".

Legend has it that it is a descendant branch of the twelve ancient sacred beasts "Burning Sky Golden-winged Phoenix". It is the size of a normal grey sparrow with two horns on its head that resemble a dragon's horn, and once it takes off, it inhabits the wind for the rest of its life and does not land until it dies. It is a lonely and fierce bird, which was once used as a family crest by the Shu Guo Lian clan.

Many years ago, the "Chiyan Rebellion" provoked by the Black Heaven Sect swept through Dongji, and many vassal states were tragically affected in this battle between the Chiyan warriors and Xia and Hand. The Ji Dynasty, which had been glorious for 600 years, was divided into two Ji dynasties, East and West.

After that, Yun Chen, the lord of the Shu Kingdom, held high the banner of Kuang Fu Ji Dynasty to aid Xia and Hand, who were almost destroyed by the Chiyan warriors, and fought with them against the Chiyan warriors.

It is said that in the genealogy of the Su State clan, the last known Lian family is named Lian Wu, who was ordered by Yun Chen, the lord of the Shu Kingdom, to protect Ao Chun, the king of Xia, and evacuated with his body as a shield, and finally wrapped himself in horse leather.

After the "Chiyan Rebellion" was pacified, Yun Chen, the lord of the kingdom full of honors and triumph, brought back a child. That child is Lian Mu. At that time, he was about the same age as Yun Ji. It's just that due to his playfulness on the way back, he accidentally fell off the horse, resulting in a head injury, which made Lian Mu lose all his memories before he came to the country.

As a result, the descendants of heroes and martyrs, because of the tricks of fate, became an orphan who did not know his family crest and family history. Later, out of pity and guilt, Yun Chen, the lord of the country, adopted Lian Mu.

Since then, the Suguo Lian clan has officially died out.

......

On the evening of October 15th,

Mo Yan appeared at the military aircraft on the eighth floor of the Yao Pavilion in the Guang Yuan with what Lian Mu wanted. At this time, Lian Mu looked at the information about the fire incident in Qi Temple presented by Mo Yan, and fell into silence for a long time.

Mo Yan on the side, his face solemn, his mind full of unburned notes about the unburned note he had seen in the brazier in his room in the afternoon. The afterglow of the setting sun did not melt the snow on the edge of the window, but it melted some doubts in Lian Mu's eyes.

"Actually, she's already aware of this, isn't she? As the commander of the three divisions of the Frost Sword, Lian Mu's voice was full of admiration for Pu Jia, and Mo Yan, who was originally in a state of distraction, suddenly sobered up here, and said indifferently: "Hmm." ”

Lian Mu: "Does anyone else know these things besides you?"

Mo Yan: "Inside the frost sword today, it is difficult to distinguish between people and ghosts. Naturally, the fewer people who know this, the better. ”

Lian Mu: "Relying on the strength of the two of you to try to do this, it is simply going against the sky. ”

Mo Yan: "I'm just helping her share these things a little, and the one who really wants to go against the sky is actually she not me." ”

Lian Mu: "Lonely and brave." ”

Mo Yan: "Fortunately, she has now been transferred to the Guardian Division as the commander, otherwise she may really die of exhaustion because of these things." ”

Lian Mu: "Maybe the lord of the country also noticed this, so he transferred her away." Is this possible?"

Mo Yan: "So what, it's not her who will finally solve this mess, but you." What are you going to do next. ”

Lian Mu: "Naturally, it is to find out the truth." ”

Mo Yan: "This fire in Qi Temple is far more complicated than imagined, and the forces behind it really have something to do with the clan." ”

Lian Mu: "The charge of treason is not a joke. ”

Mo Yan: "Just ask if you dare to check?"

Lian Mu: "If you don't say it, I will also investigate to the end." ”

Mo Yan: "That's what you said, Lian Mu. ”

Lian Mu: "You didn't know me for the first day. ”

Mo Yan: "Okay, just say this to you, no matter what happens next, I will always believe in you, and stand on your side, and help you do a lot of things that are inconvenient for you to do." ”

Lian Mu: "Let's not talk about these things first, let's sort out the ins and outs of all the events first, so as not to miss important details." ”

Mo Yan: "Then where to start?" ”

Lian Mu: "When did Yun Fan come back?" ”

Mo Di: "August 14, noon. ”

Lian Mu: "What day will you leave Bright Moon City again?" ”

Mo Yan: "I don't know. ”

Lian Mu: "Being able to leave quietly under your nose, it seems that this guy's stealth skills have made considerable progress in the past few years." ”

Mo Yan: "I'm afraid it's advancing by leaps and bounds. ”

Lian Mu: "When did the fire in Qi Temple happen?" ”

Mo Yan: "October 6th, about evening. ”

Lian Mu: "From August 14 to October 6, did anything major happen in the city during this period?"

Mo Yan: "In addition to Yun Fan's return, the lord of the country held a state banquet for him, and the heads of various clans were absent one after another, it was the transfer of relevant powers between the frost sword and the Chiyan warrior. ”

Lian Mu: "Anything else?"

Mo Yan: "Is it a big deal that you suddenly became the Great Commander of the Three Divisions of the Frost Sword?"

Lian Mu: "Of course, but this shouldn't have much to do with the fire in Qi Temple, according to the information on the case file, the killer targets of those Mo countries should only be these Sabu barbarians who came back with Yun Fan." ”

Mo Yan: "Why didn't you come directly to Yun Fan alone, kill him, isn't everything a hundred?"

Lian Mu: "I think they're here to confuse the public. And it is very likely that it was used as a pawn by the mastermind behind the scenes and put in our dreaming country, or an abandoned child. ”

Mo Yan: "You would take a tenth-order martial artist as an outcast?"

Lian Mu was puzzled: "Martial artists above the tenth order, there are no more than thirty people in the entire Dongji, how can it be that it is not a tenth-order martial artist sent by the Mo country?"

Mo Yan: "The country of Mexico sent a total of four killers this time, three of the ninth order and one of the tenth order. ”

Lian Mu: "The tenth-order one has reached the peak level?"

Mo Yan: "It shouldn't be, otherwise I wouldn't have been killed on the spot by Liu Fengsoul, who was still the commander of our Frost Sword Guard, when he entered the palace on the night of September 30 to assassinate him." ”

Lian Mu: "Why didn't you mention this matter just now?"

Mo Yan: "It's not a big deal, is it?"

Lian Mu: "Isn't the assassination of the lord of the country a big deal?"

Mo Yan: "With the soul of Liu Feng, unless you are at the peak of the tenth order, there is no possibility at all, since you haven't succeeded, what is the big deal?"

Lian Mu smiled bitterly: "What kind of logic are you?"

Mo Yan replied: "After this incident, the lord of the country told us to keep this matter a secret, and strengthened the garrison. Because of the lack of manpower, the frost sword that was originally guarding the Qi Temple was secretly transferred to the palace during this period. ”

Lian Mu: "Whose arrangement is this?"

Mo Yan: "We are in the clan of the country. ”

Lian Mu: "In other words, these elite killers of the Mo Kingdom were actually targeting the country lord from the beginning?

Mo Yan: "Or maybe after finding out the scene of Yun Fan's isolation, he specially came to make a move to divert the tiger from the mountain? Then, as you said before, the main target is Yun Fan." ”

Lian Mu: "Take the tenth-order martial artists to transfer the tiger away from the mountain, they are really ruthless!"

Mo Yan: "The three ninth-order professional killers of the Mo Kingdom, if they join forces to kill Yun Fan, there shouldn't be much of a problem." Especially under the premise that Yun Fan claims to be ill to the outside world. ”

Speaking of this, Lian Mu suddenly frowned: "Do you know that during the period from August 14 to October 6, there were any changes outside our dream?"

Mo Yan: "Putting aside what you already know, it is rumored that someone has seen Yun Fan's traces in Tianqiong City on the night of September 27. Around September 29, the Yan Kingdom was suspected of discovering traces of the Black Sky Sect, so it blocked the border, except for the Bai family's chariots and horses, the rest of the business travelers were subject to strict inspection. Around October 6, the imperial capital had a vision, and the long dark night had turned into a moment of day, and the specific reason has not yet been ascertained. ”

Lian Mu: "Don't worry about the affairs of the imperial capital and the Yan Kingdom first. Since there is news about Yun Fan on September 27, and he is still outside the Shu Kingdom, why would the killers of the Mo Kingdom make a move on October 6?"

Mo Yan: "After Yun Fan returned, we immediately carried out a very strict inspection of all the people who entered and left the city, and blocked all news coming out or into Bright Moon City and Mirror Moon City. During this period, we also arrested all the Mo spies in the city who had been eyeing them for a long time, and now they are still locked up in our "ice prison". ”

Lian Mu: "In other words, these killers of the Mo Kingdom either entered the city with Yun Fan or entered the city before him. Because after entering the city, the news was blocked, so later, they didn't know that Yun Fan had actually left here a long time ago, and they also couldn't get any news from the outside world. ”

Mo Yan: "You mean, their goal is actually the lord of the country from the beginning, and there is no such thing as turning the tiger away from the mountain?"

Lian Mu: "Something must have happened in this, otherwise these killers of the Mexican country, even if they die, they will definitely find a way to complete the task and assassinate the lord of the country." ”

Mo Yan: "Do you suspect that this matter has something to do with the clan?"

Lian Mu smiled: "Doesn't Pu Jia think the same way?"

Lian Mu thoughtfully: "From September 30 to October 6, there are seven days in total. Those spy in the city, when did you clean up all of them? ”

Mo Di: "September 27th. ”

Lian Mu: "When was the last Mexican spy arrested? Is it also September 27?"

Mo Yan: "When the body was found, it was already October 5th, and the time of death should have been the day before, that is, October 4th. Interestingly, it wasn't us who discovered the secret agent of the Mo Kingdom, but Liu Feng's soul. ”

Lian Mu: "I heard that he was there before the fire in Qi Temple, right?"

Mo Yan: "It was he who saved Sinzaima, one of the six generals of the Sabu, from the hands of those three killers of the Mexican Kingdom. ”

A pair of deep eyes stared straight at Mo Yan, Lian Mu didn't speak, but Mo Yan already understood what he meant: "Do you suspect that the fire was actually set by Liu Feng's soul?"

Lian Mu: "Maybe he was released by the clan." ”

Mo Yan pondered: "Your inference is a little inconsistent, the sect transferred the people who were guarding the Qi Temple, and created an opportunity for the killers of the Mo Kingdom to assassinate Yun Fan, but as a result, Liu Fengsoul killed those killers in the past, and by the way, he also rescued Xin Zaima......

Speaking of this, Mo Yan was silent, and Lian Mu was also silent. After a while, Lian Mu spoke first: "During the city-wide blockade of news, can the clan exchange news with the outside world?"

Mo Yan: "Only the clan can make exceptions. ”

Lian Mu: "From this point of view, perhaps, Liu Fengsoul is the 'receiver' of this group of killers in the Mo Kingdom, and it is very likely that he is here to clean up the aftermath and to kill Yun Fan." ”

Mo Yan continued with Lian Mu's words: "But after he arrived at the Qi Temple, he found that Yun Fan was not actually in the Qi Temple, so he killed these three killers, rescued Xin Zaima, and then cleared the suspicion?"

Lian Mu: "Reasonable. ”

Mo Yan: "First secretly collaborate with the killers of the Mo Kingdom to assassinate the Lord of Yun Ji, so as to create a suitable reason to transfer the guards of the Qi Temple, and then order these killers to turn their swords and assassinate Yun Fan, the future lord of our Shu Kingdom......"

Lian Mu didn't speak, he was listening to Mo Yan's analysis: "If Yun Fan was there at the time, then the three killers of the Mo Kingdom plus the soul of Liu Feng, Yun Fan will definitely die! ”

Lian Mu: "And the Chiyan warriors and the warriors of the Sabe will settle this account on the head of the Mexican Kingdom because of Yun Fan's death, so they will continue to fulfill Yun Fan's will and protect our long-cherished country." ”

Mo Yan: "After Yun Fan's death, the lord of Yun Ji will definitely consider the overall situation, so he will join forces with the clan to maintain stability. However, since the Frost Sword has been controlled by the clan, the Chiyan warriors and the warriors of the Sabe may not necessarily listen to the arrangements of the Yunji Kingdom Lord in the short term, so the actual rulers of the country actually return to the clan. ”

Lian Mu: "What the clan wants is actually an obedient country lord, and the country lord Yun Ji is very satisfied with their requirements, isn't it?"

Mo Yan: "If Yun Fan hadn't died." ”

Lian Mu: "This is the current situation. ”

Mo Yan: "The clan is really powerful!"

Lian Mu: "Wicked, the killer of the Mexican country has done it." The hero, Liu Feng's soul came, the good name, and the clan accepted it, and by the way, eased the tension with Yun Fan's forces. The Liu family is worthy of being the first family in the country, and this arrangement is really leaky. ”

Mo Yan listened and shook hands with Lian Mu.

Lian Mu was puzzled: "What are you doing here?"

Mo Yan: "I didn't expect that the things that Pu Jia couldn't figure out were sorted out by the commander, Mo Yan admired, admired the five-body throw!"

Lian Mu smiled: "As the commander of the three divisions of the Frost Sword, he should be loyal to the lord of the country, ask for his life for the people, and don't be a person who sells his reputation and reputation!"

Mo Yan: "Then when are we going to catch the soul of Liu Feng?"

Lian Mu: "Don't worry, he will come to us in a few days to take up a job, and I will meet him first to see if it is the same as we think, so as not to make a mistake." And until then, don't startle the snake. ”

Mo Yan: "By the way, do you think that Liu Fengsoul has anything to do with Lu You's case?"

Lian Mu thought for a while: "It depends on whether Lu You's case has anything to do with the fire in Qi Temple." ”

Mo Yan: "Previously, I thought that this fire was Lu You's secret communication with the killer of the Mo Kingdom, in order to let the killer solve Yun Fan, so that our Su Kingdom would fall into civil strife, so that the Xia State army stationed around Mingyue City could continue to march towards Mingyue City under the pretext of completing the 'marriage'." And he, Luyou, can whitewash himself through the 'marriage', so as to get rid of our frost sword's pursuit of him, and through the 'marriage hero', he will fly on the branches again and become a phoenix. ”

Lian Mu thought for a while: "According to our inference at noon today, the clan may be protecting Lu You, so if you follow your line of thought, Lu You and this matter are indeed a little involved." ”

Mo Yan: "The people of the clan colluded with the killers of the Mo Kingdom, and Lu You paved the way for himself and the reigning Xia Kingdom, and their goal was to kill Yun Fan." But it is absolutely impossible for the clan to hand over the Shu Kingdom to the Xia Kingdom. ”

Lian Mu turned around and said: "Just now I asked people to go to the Heartfelt Restaurant to buy me a pot of wine, but I didn't buy the wine, but brought back a piece of news. ”

Mo Yan: "What's the news?"

Lian Mu: "Lord Lu bought Qiantan's 'Drunkenness', and also borrowed the chefs who are best at making Hokuriku cuisine from Heartfelt Restaurant. ”

Mo Yan: "He's going to set up a banquet to win over Gu Yina and the others? At this time, why?"

Lian Mu: "Because Gu Yina gave me a slap yesterday, it is estimated that Lu You thinks that the relationship between our Frost Sword and Gu Yina has become very tense now." ”

Mo Yan: "I understand what you mean, he may not have known what Gu Yina's attitude is towards us before, but what can he do to win over Gu Yina at this time?"

Lian Mu thought for a while, and said worriedly: "Now Lu You has no way to retreat, since he has already thought of introducing Xia Guo into Mingyue City, he must have already prepared for the fish to die and the net will be broken, and now unless there is a big chaos in the country, Lu You's good days will soon come to an end." ”

Mo Yan: "Wait, according to what you mean, that is, Gu Yina actually formed an alliance with you yesterday, right?"

Lian Mu: "That's not true, she asked me to give her a satisfactory answer about the fire in Qi Temple first, and then talk to me about this, but it is certain that although she is not in the same boat with us now, she is a person all the way." ”

Mo Yan: "Interesting, it's getting more and more interesting. ”

Lian Mu: "By the way, didn't you cast a net for Lu You before, I remember that when you were collecting the net, you caught a suspicious person who had contact with him, right?

Mo Yan: "I have tried, and it has verified that our frost sword has internal ghosts. That's why I've been sneaking in the past few days to check some suspicious people inside us. ”

Lian Mu: "What else did that person say? ”

Mo Yan recalled for a moment and said, "Yes. ”

Lian Mu said impatiently: "Don't sell Guanzi. ”

Mo Yan: "I remember the man said he wanted to see you. Saying yes can only tell you one thing. Unless you're there in person, he won't say anything even if he's dead. ”

Lian Mu was puzzled: "See me?"

......

There are two flowers, one on each branch.

At this time, Lu Weiwen and Gu Yina, after listening to the greetings between Akzati and Liu Fengsoul, no longer knew what to do. Gu Yina will never allow Akzati to live in Lu Yuan, and Lu Weiwen will not let Akzati live here.

If Akzati lived in Lu Yuan, no matter what his reason was, in the end, the clan of the Shu Kingdom would combine Lu Weiwen's previous performance at the night banquet to conclude that Lu Weiwen was actually on the same side as the Sabu Chiyan warrior forces led by Yun Fan.

This is actually very unfavorable to what Lu Weiwen really wants to do next, and in fact, what Lu Weiwen wants to do at this moment is actually what Liu Su wants to do.

The night of October 15 is of extraordinary significance to all of us. Because on such a special night, these people who cherish their family and country are secretly planning for the upcoming "great changes in the world".

At this moment, Liu Feng's soul didn't know what to say for a while, and when he cast a plea at Lu Weiwen and Gu Yina, the wine he had just bought was directly snatched away by Akzati here, and then turned around and ran to the house where Xin Zaima was resting, and praised "Liu Su" for his righteousness while walking, which made Liu Feng's soul angry and laughing.

Lu Weiwen motioned for Liu Fengsoul to sit down at this time, first drink saliva to calm down, and Gu Yina smiled after seeing Liu Fengsoul's appearance: "You are really to blame!"

Liu Fengsoul: "Why is he here?"

Lu Weiwen: "Actually, you should think of it." ”

Liu Feng's soul: "The two pots of 'Drunkenness' that I finally bought Nima are still old specials!

When he said this, Liu Fengsoul specially lowered his voice, for fear of being heard by Akzati, which caused Lu Weiwen and Gu Yina to look at each other and smile. Without waiting for Liu Fengsoul to continue, Lu Weiwen asked Liu Fengsoul first: "Listening to your tone, the "heartfelt drunk" of the Heartfelt Restaurant is out of stock again, is it?"

Liu Fengsoul glanced at Gu Yina and sighed, "Thanks to this one!I bought a pot for ten times the price!!"

Gu Yina wondered, "What does this have to do with me?"

Liu Fengsoul: "Lufu ordered a thousand jars of 'heartfelt drunkenness' with the shopkeeper He of the Heartfelt Restaurant at noon today, which is still a special offer, and the chefs in the restaurant who are best at making Beilu cuisine have all been borrowed to the mansion. ”

Gouina fell into deep thought.

Lu Weiwen said, "Sir, don't you understand? This is a good opportunity I told you earlier." ”

Gu Yina: "Lu You is trying to hold a banquet to take the opportunity to win me over, right?"

Lu Weiwen: "Exactly." ”

Guina: "Should I go?"

Lu Weiwen: "You must go, and you must also bring General Akzati with you." ”

Liu Fengsoul frowned: "Then can I go together?" I'll just go drinking and eating without talking." ”

Lu Weiwen smiled and didn't answer, Liu Fengsoul turned his gaze to Gu Yina: "How is it, how is it!"

Gu Yina looked at Lu Weiwen puzzled: "Why did Lu Gongzi specify again that I should bring Akzati with me." ”

Lu Weiwen: "Mr. needs someone to help you block the wine, and Akzati can't get drunk at all, so it's most appropriate for him to accompany you." ”

Gu Yina: "Is going to a banquet a conflict with drunkenness?"

Lu Weiwen: "No conflict, Mr. must go to this banquet, but Mr. must not get drunk in Lufu or spend the night." ”

After hearing this, Gu Yina sneered: "Is Lu Gongzi worried about me?"

Lu Weiwen's face was slightly red under her ridicule, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, while Liu Fengsoul muttered at this time: "A thousand altars of 'drunkenness'! A thousand altars!

Gu Yina thought for a while: "Since Liu Er Gongzi likes to drink this wine so much, I'll bring a few pots back when the time comes, what do you think?"

When Liu Fengsoul heard Gu Yina say this, he instantly smiled: "Mr. Gu is beautiful and kind-hearted, righteous and straightforward! If there is a need for me in the future, I will do my best to help and be on call!"

Gu Yina smiled slightly: "Not necessarily. ”

Lu Weiwen said lightly: "It's hard to say. ”

Gu Yina was puzzled: "Childe, what does this mean?"

Lu Weiwen: "Although the second son of Liu will not be able to appear at the banquet at that time, when Mr. leaves Lufu, the second son of Liu must appear and personally pick up Mr. to leave." ”

Liu Fengsoul was puzzled: "Why?"

Lu Weiwen seemed to be smiling, and between his eyebrows and eyes, Gu Yina already understood: "Thank you Lu Gongzi for mentioning it, Gu Yina must be more careful!"

Liu Fengsoul, who was sitting next to Lu Weiwen, was confused when he heard this: "What are you all talking about?

At this time, Akzati happened to poke his head out and ask Liu Fengsoul: "Old Liu, why does this wine taste so much better than what we usually drink?"

Liu Fengsoul was helpless: "Because this is a special offering!"

Lu Weiwen smiled and didn't continue.
