Chapter 174: There Are People in the Valley

The queen mother in the palace has sorted out those lists several times these days, and finally selected three young talents, and there are many brothers in the family, not too many. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The queen said: "After all, it's for Huang'er to choose a horse, and she wants to like it herself, don't move these people first, and wait for her to come back and see." ”

"Yes." Mama Huang packed up the list.

"These days, check those three people more, if there is anything bad, don't take it to Huang'er and hurt your eyes."

As he was talking, the palace people reported that His Royal Highness King Sheng had come down, and after Mama Huang saw the salute, she retreated, leaving only the mother and son in the palace.

"The queen mother's complexion is getting better and better these days, and her sons are blessed again." The eldest prince sat down and said happily.

The queen was a little unhappy, and asked with a face: "What's the matter with Huang'er and that Xu Shixuan?" Did you arrange it on purpose? ”

"Where is the queen mother talking about, Erchen also loves Huang'er very much, since the queen mother doesn't like that Xu Shixuan, how can Erchen still do such a thing?" The eldest prince hurriedly defended, "That day, Huang'er ran away without even bringing a guard, and the son sent a message to Xu Shixuan to take care of it, and the queen mother blamed the son on his back."

His son knew that the queen didn't think that the eldest prince would sacrifice his sister in order to win over the courtiers, so he relieved himself when he heard his words: "It's not that the queen mother doesn't like that Xu Shixuan, it's just that he is Lao Jingyuan's hope, and the burden on his shoulders is not lighter than Chang'er." And there is such an unsuccessful brother, I am afraid that the days will not stop in the future, and it is better for Huang'er to stay away from him. ”

"Erchen knows that the queen mother is for the good of Huang'er, and Erchen also wants her to be carefree, but before Erchen sent the message, Xu Shixuan had already rushed to Ningzhou, which shows that Xu Shixuan has a heart." The eldest prince didn't wait for the queen to speak, sighed and continued: "Can the queen mother know the current situation of Hua Chang?" ”

"What's wrong with him?" The queen has been busy choosing a colt for Chu Shuhuang these days, and she hasn't bothered to ask about Hua Chang's situation, and the people around her know that she doesn't want Hua Chang to be this colt, so naturally she won't mention it again.

"I heard that he has been very bad lately, and he is not good at recuperating from his injuries, so he always runs to Yinglan Pavilion where Huang'er lives. The queen mother thinks about it, with these two people in front of Zhuyu, can Huang'er still look down on others in her eyes? ”

The three people who were chosen were indeed a far cry from them.

The queen's heart sank, worried about Hua Chang and Chu Shuhuang.

Three days later, the brothers who had entered the mountain came back with the news that they had found a large number of houses in a valley, and it seemed that there were still many people living in them, and that some brothers had gone down to the valley to check on them.

This should be the secret of this forbidden land, after getting the news, Xu Shixuan went to the camp to meet the old man again.

thought that he would be severely tortured, but the old man was ready to become a benevolent, but he never thought that no one would pay attention to him at all. Although he was detained, not only was he not embarrassed, but his three meals a day were better than what he had eaten.

The human mind is fickle, and sometimes this change cannot be controlled by oneself.

When Xu Shixuan saw the old man, the old man's spirit was no longer as vigorous as the previous two days, but filled with a faint sadness.

"It seems that the old man has been thinking a lot about it these days, have you figured out what to say?" Xu Shixuan asked leisurely like a visit.

The old man remained his original appearance, did not look at him, and did not mean to speak.

"The old man probably doesn't know yet, we've found that valley, there must be hundreds of people in it, right? I don't know why so many people live in seclusion here? ”

The old man was shocked by this information, and after a long sigh of relief, his spirit was much weaker.

"It seems that the old man still has nothing to say. But it doesn't matter, after guarding this inaccessible place for decades, it is estimated that the old man can't figure out the situation in the valley and can't say anything valuable, so we still go in and talk to someone else. ”

"However, I still have a question for the old man: although the old man has the intention of murdering us, but he has not succeeded, if he kills you, I really can't bear it, but if I don't kill you, and I am worried that after we leave, you will go to the ventilation to report the news, what does the old man think I should do with you?"

Xu Shixuan didn't mean to stop, and continued: "Actually, you have been staying here for decades, and you have a lot of ...... on your hands."

"If you want to kill, kill it, what is so much nonsense?" The old man finally couldn't bear it anymore and roared passionately, "For so many years, we just want to have a foothold, and we have never done anything to endanger the court, why don't you let it go?" ”

Xu Shixuan looked at him angrily, he didn't speak, it doesn't matter if it's valuable or not, since he has spoken, he might as well listen to a few more words.

But the old man's next sentence surprised him.

"The people of that year are all dead, and all that is left are women and children, what does it have to do with them? It's just that you want to live your life in peace, so why do you have to work hard with each other? ”

"Who are you?" Xu Shixuan asked.

The old man sneered and said, "What kind of people, don't you know who we are?" What is there to pretend? ”

It seems that there are still a lot of stories behind their identities, but Xu Shixuan is not interested in these, just go back and throw them to the magistrate to deal with, this is not his responsibility.

His words were still tepid, "It doesn't matter who you are, we have searched this mountain!" You said that you have never endangered the imperial court, and you will only know after searching that Changning has recently committed a murder, maybe the murderer is hiding in this mountain? ”

"You guys are spewing blood!"

Xu Shixuan said contemptuously: "We spew blood? What can the old man know by hiding in this little stone house, you are just imagining. ”

"They've lived there for decades, and most of them haven't even been out ......of the mountains," the old man stopped abruptly, as if remembering something.

"Look, the old man can't explain it, right? Everything depends on the facts, and if the people in the valley really didn't do anything to harm the imperial court, we would naturally treat them leniently. Instead, they will pay the price for what they have done. ”

The old man hurriedly defended: "That's not what they did, they don't know the road, they don't know people, what kind of homicide do they do?" ”

"Do you know who it is?" Xu Shixuan asked.

The old man's expression flickered, and he fell silent again.

"Since the old man doesn't want to say it, let the people inside, I believe there will be no fewer people who want to speak."

"You wait!" The old man seemed to have made up his mind, and after a while he continued, "I tell you, will you treat them well?" (To be continued.) )
