Chapter 182: A Dance of the Killing Sword

VIP chapter content,

Li Shuci sat under the porch in a daze, tilted his head slightly, and looked at the two or three osmanthus trees growing against the wall in the courtyard, as well as the stone tables and stone benches under the trees. Under www.biquge.info moonlight, the cinnamon is fragrant, rich and long, like the prosperity and liveliness of the world. But there are thousands of prosperous species in the world, and in the end, they are all lonely. Qingge and Mu Yun stood behind her worriedly, not knowing how long she was going to be in a daze, from the moment she found Fang Jin, Li Shuci didn't say a word, as if when Fang Jin died, he also took away her soul.

Li Shuci's eyes were a little sour, as if those thin white petals were too blurred in the moonlight, and a line of tears flowed down his cheeks and slipped into his neck, cold. She didn't dare to send Fang Jin, she didn't even dare to put a stick of incense in front of her coffin. Fang Jin died because of her, and when she saw Fang Jin's bloody face, she knew that Fang Jin's face had been cut off alive! She stared at her big eyes and didn't blink! She was already engaged, and she would soon live with the person she loved, and then have a few children, and be happy for a lifetime...... But it was all ruined.

Qingge finally couldn't help it, and called softly: "Girl......"

The Confucian King came and went, she didn't even move her eyes, Li Shuci just stared with wide eyes like that, and didn't know where to look, and suddenly she said to Qingge Muyun: "Boren died because of me...... However, I don't even have the qualifications to be sad,......" she could even guess who Fang Jin's face would appear on...... How could she not have imagined that? How could someone like Shen Yuan be at the mercy of others!

Qingge and Mu Yun glanced at each other, not knowing how to comfort her. While the two of them were struggling to think about what to say, a figure appeared under the osmanthus tree. The two were startled, and subconsciously thought that the Confucian prince was back, but when they looked up, it turned out to be Helian Tao. Li Shuci looked at him, and his eyes finally fluctuated a little. Helian Tao also glanced at Li Shuci and nodded at her expressionlessly.

Then, there was a cold light on Helian Tao's hand.

In the inky night sky, under the faint moonlight, Helian Tao stood in the rain of osmanthus in black clothes, holding a long sword.

His figure merged with the cold light, and with the falling white petals, his figure fluttered under the dark moon, and the long sword made a pleasant golden sound from time to time, shaking the hazy mist in front of him apart.

Helian Tao has always lived as if he had no heart, no lungs, and no worries, but in fact, his heart was full of loneliness and depression. He often used this way to vent in the dark night, but today, for the first time, he danced the murderous sword under the moon for someone else.

Li Shuci calmly watched Helian Tao walk under the dark moon of Xue Gui, and suddenly felt that this person understood her. Understand her vulnerability, understand her grief and powerlessness. "Thank you. ”

Helian Tao slowly retracted his sword momentum, and many petals fell on his body, he gently brushed them away, and said lightly: "No need." ”

Li Shuci moved back to the bookcase step by step, stared at the names on the paper, and suddenly let out a sigh of relief. "Qin Miaoren's uncle must have a problem!"

Qingge and Mu Yun glanced at each other, and they both looked at Helian Tao, who didn't know whether to come in at the door. Qingge made a gesture of please, Helian Tao glanced at Li Shuci with a little restraint, and walked in very unnaturally to get to the opposite side of Li Shuci, as if to cover up, Helian Tao hurriedly put on a blank look and asked, "That...... Qin Miaoren's uncle?"

"That's right......" Li Shuci narrowed his eyes, "I don't know much about Qin Zhengxian himself, so I deliberately searched through a lot of tabloids back then, Qin Zhengxian was born in poverty, has no background and no famous teacher, before my father, he was also the head of the Wen Kui appointed by His Majesty, extremely strategic and far-sighted. I also heard my mother say that my father often talked about Lord Qin's wisdom and talent, so this time my father did not hesitate to bring Qin Miaoren back to Shangjing. ”

"But...... Although Qin Zhengxian was amazing, he was not used much, and he has been tepid as a minister and official...... "Helian Tao didn't know why she was transferred from Qin Miaoren's uncle to Qin Zhengxian again, and asked, "What does this have to do with Qin Miaoren's uncle?"

"Qin Zhengxian has been an official in the court for nearly 20 years, and he has traveled to all prefectures and counties in the five capitals of Beijing, leaving his name everywhere, is it really not reused? Doesn't it seem strange that such an official career is not surprising? Moreover, Qin Zhengxian has been an official for many years, but with his ability and personality, he is almost surrounded by all the forces in the center of Shangjing, what does the prince think he is walking like?"

"Impossible!" Helian Tao was simply shocked, "If the king intends to train him to be a generation of lonely ministers, protect our dynasty, and pave the way for the next generation of kings, then why was he killed in the end?"

"Is it impossible? If it is impossible, why would the prince of the world think of this?" Li Shuci looked at Helian Tao's gaze almost aggressively, "Such a person is a dragon and phoenix, but in the end he is bad because of a Chengguo duke, could it be that he has been wise for twenty years, and suddenly his brain is in water? There must be something wrong with this!"

Helian Tao couldn't speak, just looked straight at Li Shuci. Li Shuci's mind was spinning faster and faster, "I think Qin Miaoren's uncle must know something, or, he is Qin Zhengxian!"

Helian Tao's mind was almost knotted, this seemed to be another puzzle, "If there is something else going on in this matter, then what is Qin Miaoren's plan to come to your father's side?"

Li Shuci shook her head slowly, she couldn't figure it out, "Could it be that Qin Miaoren noticed that Qin Zhengxian's death was different, so he wanted to take revenge?"

"Qin Miaoren is just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl...... Helian Tao closed her mouth again in the middle of speaking, because she remembered that Li Shuci, an outrageous girl with many eyes, was only fifteen years old. "When the accident happened, Qin Miaoren was about eleven or twelve years old, did she really know anything?"

"Qingge, you go and call Mei Bai over. Li Shuci stood up and walked back and forth twice, and sat down thoughtfully, "A girl who comes to find a man with all her heart is nothing more than two reasons, first, rely on this man to achieve her own goals. Second, seek revenge on this man. But these two reasons don't make sense now, according to my father, he has a good relationship with Qin Zhengxian, and revenge? But if Qin Miaoren was for the first reason, why did she use this method, at the risk of being spurned by the Li Mansion, to enter the mansion to be an aunt who was not allowed to be free? What good could this do her? It would definitely do more harm than good. ”

"Maybe it's because the woman is narrow-minded and thinks that by making a personal promise, you can let your father help her?"

Li Shuci shook his head, "Qin Miaoren is quite scheming, she is not the kind of ignorant woman who has short knowledge, on the contrary, she is very assertive and knows what she wants and what to do. Why did she find my father, could it be that she is a person from another force, and she wants to drag my father into the water?" Shen Yuan said that Qin Miaoren was his hands and feet, but no matter how Li Shuci looked at it, he felt that Qin Miaoren was just pushing the boat......

Mei Bai came in from outside and said, "Girl, son." Helian Tao was a little surprised, Mei Bai went out from his mansion, and now he naturally ranked Li Shuci first in his heart. Helian Tao nodded, looking at Li Shuci, not knowing what she had to ask about Mei Bailai.

"Mei Bai, in the few days you have been in Lidu Mansion, have you inquired about Uncle Qin Miaoren?"

Mei Bai was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes, it's Qin Miaoren's ...... When I secretly inquired, Qin Miaoren's uncle had never married, and after the Qin family fell, there was only such a niece by his side, and the two depended on each other. In fact, Qin Miaoren worked in the medicine hall, and her hard-earned silver was defeated by her uncle, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and the neighbors all knew that this person scolded Qin Miaoren for losing money all day long, and often clamored to sell her. ”

Helian Tao looked at Li Shuci and said, "Such a person, could it be Qin Zhengxian?"

Li Shuci smiled: "He ate, drank, prostituted and gambled, and used up all the money earned by his niece, but he didn't beat or scold her, threatening to sell her, but she is still alive and well." Not only does he not have a cowardly personality, but he is decisive in his actions. Isn't it? This shows that the relationship between this uncle and nephew is not as bad as it seems, and there is only one purpose for this, which is to cover it up!"

The room was unusually quiet, and it seemed to smell of conspiracy. Helian Tao sat up straight and opened his eyes wide: "It's difficult, isn't it ......?"

Li Shuci sat quietly and said, "I don't want to know what secrets they have, but since Qin Miaoren has come to the door, I'm afraid this matter can't be easily solved, at the moment, we still have to know what their idea is, and who is Qin Miaoren's uncle......"

Helian Tao only felt a cold sweat break out on his head: "I, I think of something...... Qin Zhengxian's house was raided, but it was only four or five years ago, and I still remember that it seems that the Confucian prince passed by the hand...... He saw a very old incense burner in Qin Zhengxian's house at that time, saying that it was very similar to the Queen Mother's, and when the king heard him say this, he asked him to take the incense burner to the Queen Mother. He looked at Li Shuci's face and said, "Otherwise, you should ask him......"

"Qin Zhengxian's case, is the prince also involved?" Li Shuci was surprised.

At that time, the Confucian prince was fifteen or sixteen years old, and he had already begun to help the monarch deal with political affairs. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been crowned the prince so early. Helian Tao sourly said: "The monarch trusts the Confucian prince very much, I still remember that once again the Confucian prince and the six princes had a conflict because of one thing, and the monarch listened to the Confucian prince's narration and directly punished the six princes, without even asking!"

Li Shuci felt a little incredible, "Will a person like the Confucian prince also have conflicts with others?"

"It's just that once. But because it was only one time, I remember very clearly, we were both very young at that time, and the Confucian prince was only in his early tens, and I was talking to the sixth prince by the lake, and the Confucian prince suddenly ran over, pushed the sixth prince to the ground, and shouted: You don't deserve to have a mother like her! The sixth prince cried on the spot, and the king was nearby at the time, and he heard the crying coming from him. ”

"You don't deserve to have a mother like her?" Li Shuci was inexplicable, there was obviously a strong jealousy and resentment in his words, but the biological mother of the sixth prince was just the palace maid of Concubine De, how could the Confucian king say such a thing? "Where does this ......start?"
