48.Chapter 48

Before Lu Sheng went home, he changed his mind again, went around the Tonghua Workshop, and found Du Xiaomeng. Du Xiaomeng is a little beggar, only twelve or thirteen years old, but he is very righteous, and often learns a few tricks from Lu Sheng, Ji Chong and others, so although he is thin, he is very flexible and agile. Lu Sheng gave him a few pennies and asked him to pay attention to the movements in Weisu's mansion, if Weisu returned to the mansion, he would inform him immediately, Du Xiaomeng patted his chest and came down.

As for Xie Ying, if he returns to the house, naturally someone from the Xie Mansion will come to inform him, but he doesn't have to worry about it.

Du Xiaomeng rolled his eyes, and said with a hippie smile: "Lu Gongcao, if you are willing to add three dollars, the little brother will give another message." ”

Lu Sheng knew that this little beggar never believed it, so he gave him another three pennies, and Du Xiaomeng was happy to collect the copper plate, so he pretended to be mysterious and lowered his voice and said: "In the past few days, my sister has always gone to the old Lantern Lane, and she also carried food and other things, and the bamboo basket was empty when she came out. ”

Lu Sheng asked, "Have you ever told anyone about it?" ”

Du Xiaomeng said: "No! In the future, how dare the younger brother talk to others about Mrs. Lu's affairs? ”

He thought that Lu Sheng and Yue Nan came to the south to be childhood sweethearts, and sooner or later they were going to get married, but now he saw that Nanlai was sneaky and mysterious, as if he was fornicating with others, so he naturally kept his mouth shut, but this was cheaper Lu Sheng, he didn't say anything, he only told Du Xiaomeng to keep his mouth shut, and then he walked to the Yue family's old house in the old Lantern Lane in the west of the city.

The old lantern lane is as its name, it is really broken and old, the residents are also mixed dragons and snakes, mostly homeless untouchables, Yue Nanlai's grandfather was born here, and then he was angry and strong, rising in the end of the micro, worshipping the famous teacher to build a martial arts hall, only to get rid of the untouchable identity, the family moved to the east of the city Stone Fang, and the Lu family became a neighbor, for decades, it has become a good family.

However, the Yue family still retains the old mansion in the old Lantern Lane, one is to show that they will not forget their roots, and the other is to warn their children and grandchildren not to be comfortable and fall into poverty and predicament.

Lu Sheng avoided the sewage all over the ground, endured the stench and found a small courtyard in the depths of the alley, and did not knock on the door, only ran a few steps, lifted his breath, jumped up and hooked a raised stone on the dilapidated courtyard wall, flipped into the courtyard, strode over, and pushed open the wooden door of the side house.

The room was dim, but there was a strong smell of blood accompanied by the smell of medicine, Lu Sheng lit the lamp, saw clearly with cold eyes, and leaned against a wooden bed against the wall, Shen Lun lay on it, hanging on the side of the bed with one hand, and tried in vain to grab the saber on the ground, but unfortunately his fingers were weak, and he couldn't even lift the sword weighing a few catties, so he had to sigh and smile bitterly: "Lu Gongcao has good skills, come from the south...... Luckily? ”

Lu Sheng stood at the door, his face became more and more gloomy, he was extremely angry with Shen Lun, but seeing that his old friend was bloodless and tortured, he was inevitably distressed, so he just stood still and said coldly: "If you really care about Nanlai, why do you want to involve her in right and wrong, wouldn't it be clean if you left the capital early." ”

Shen Lun was short of breath, his forehead was covered with fine sweat, he struggled to get up, but he couldn't even exert half of his strength, so he had to turn his head and say in a breathy voice: "Hug Yang...... I, I'm really desperate......"

Lu Sheng sighed in his heart, but he still approached and inspected Shen Lun's injuries, he suffered multiple injuries to his shoulders, arms, chest, abdomen, and thighs, all of which were wounded by swords and bows. Fortunately, Nanlai was properly bandaged, but due to the lack of wound medicine, the wound has not healed so far, and blood stains have leaked from under the white cotton cloth.

Gold sore medicine is very strictly managed, and if ordinary people buy it in large quantities, it will naturally cause trouble. Nanlai has to hide his family and take care of the injured, and now this scarce medicine is just a drain and collected from pharmacies all over the city.

After Lu Sheng checked it, he went to the kitchen to boil hot water, took out the gold sore medicine he had brought with him, picked up the most seriously injured parts of Shen Lun, sprinkled all the medicine, and then bandaged it with a clean cotton cloth again.

Halfway south, he came to enter the small courtyard, and when he saw Lu Sheng, he didn't say a word, only red eyes, biting his lower lip, bandaging Shen Lun with him, and feeding Shen Lun a bowl of medicine, before picking up the bloody cloth strips that he had replaced, and went outside the house to clean them silently.

Lu Sheng sat on the edge of the couch, and when he saw that Shen Lun was relieved, he asked, "Who was injured?" ”

Shen Lun smiled bitterly a few more times, but said in a low voice: "The Xuanwu Town Soul Seal was destroyed by me. ”

Lu Sheng had expected it, but he was not moved, and only looked down at him.

Shen Lun's breath became weaker and weaker, but he forced himself to take a breath and turned his head to look at Lu Sheng, "As you said before, just to prevent Yun Xue from marrying, but unexpectedly, King Chu Yu and his son were unfortunately killed. ”

Lu Sheng said: "Although you didn't expect it, the main messenger behind you may not. ”

Shen Lun was seriously injured after all, and he was not as cautious as usual, and blurted out: "Could it be that he ...... teacher?"

Lu Sheng laughed slowly: "I see, is it really Teacher Shuiyue's instigation?" ”

Shen Lun tightened his fingers and said astringently: "Baoyang, I serve King Chen Liuwang because King Chen Liuwang has great ambitions. Now that the lord is weak and the relatives are strong, the chicken is in the morning, there are a group of heroes fighting endlessly, and there are miscellaneous tigers watching each other outside, and the dynasty is not vibrating, how can the Central Plains be restored? My husband and I support King Chen Liu, to abolish the nine products, to promote the imperial examination, regardless of background, to recruit the world's wise men, to strengthen the national strength, to revitalize the dynasty, for the benefit of the common people in the world. It's not a pity to die with your own body! ”

He spoke generously, exhausted his mind, and had to hold down the throbbing wound in his chest, and for a while his face was pale and breathless.

Lu Sheng sighed: "Brother Yun Chang, if you really feel that death is not a pity, why do you have to flee when you are seriously injured?" ”

Shen Lun sighed, his rapid breathing gradually calmed down, and he said in a dumb voice: "Although I am not afraid of death, I also do not want to die in vain." Sima Qian is now joining forces with Chen Liuwang, and to remove the biggest obstacle, she proposed two quid pro quo. The first is to hand over the one who broke the seal; Second, it is to thank Ying's life. If she hadn't insisted on taking Xie Ying's life first, I wouldn't have had a chance to escape......"

Lu Sheng stood up suddenly, although he had already guessed, now that he heard Shen Lun say it himself, he still surged with monstrous anger, "She is not to blame for King Chen Liu's plan to break the seal first, and she does not complain after King Chu Yu harms people and is not eaten back, she is blind and blind, chasing and biting innocents, there are such stupid people." ”

Shen Lun couldn't help laughing when he heard his indignation, and when he laughed, his wound throbbed, and in an instant, his face turned pale with pain, and he slowed down before he said: "This county lord is very smart, she can't offend King Chenliu, and King Chu Yu She refuses to resign, so naturally she can only find a pawn like me who will give up and give up to vent her anger." It's okay for me to be a poor disciple, Xie Ying this time...... I'm afraid that there will be a big disaster. ”

Lu Sheng asked in a deep voice: "Brother Yun Chang, what is Sima Qian's conspiracy?" ”

Shen Lun laughed softly: "Eight words are enough: planting blame, Li Dai is stiff." ”

The wind and rain in Taicheng Palace are coming, and the black pressure under the seat of the Son of Heaven is full of people.

Even Wei Su never expected that there were so many things hidden in the wooden box he took in that day.

The wooden box, which was opened by the Sun Master, is now neatly placed on the ground with six wooden planks, the inside of which is covered with intricate runes, and the bottom is covered with a mezzanine. In the mezzanine, a two-finger-wide sheepskin is taken out, old and black, but the cinnabar handwriting is still red as blood, but the front is written on the birthday of Sima Sima Jing, the king of Pengcheng, but on the back is eight seals, saying: "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity."

Sima Qian's eyes were weeping, and she also knelt under the seat, and in the tray of the attendants behind her, there were four bronze mirrors, mottled with cyan patina, and even the soil had not had time to be cleaned up, and she said that she was dug out of the ground in the four directions of the Chuyu Palace.

Qingfeng Zhenren twisted his beard and was silent, but Nikko got up and saluted him, and said softly: "Please consult the master, the little monk has heard of it, the Central Plains has descended since ancient times, there are four holy beasts guarding the four poles, and there are four fierce beasts for the disaster in all directions, this bronze mirror is engraved, the little monk dares to speculate, is it the pattern of the four fierce beasts?" ”

Qingfeng Zhenren glanced at him, but had to reply: "Poor Dao can't make assertions......"

The queen's gentle expression is also a little dark, she ordered someone to send four bronze mirrors to the eyes, front and back, look carefully, the Son of Heaven also played with her, suddenly pointed to one of them, and laughed: "This inscription is written in 梼杌, why is it engraved with a big black cat, interesting and interesting." ”

In the Silent Palace, everyone held their breath, but the voice of the young son of heaven echoed lonely, but it became more and more eerie.

The queen held his hand and sneered: "Gluttony, gluttony, chaos, chaos, poverty, the bronze mirror inscription is clearly engraved, Qingfeng Zhenren can't make an assertion, if it is so old and dizzy, the dustless view should also be replaced by a different person." ”

Qingfeng Zhenren sighed secretly, thinking that it would be difficult to stay out of the matter today, so he hurriedly got up and said: "The queen is angry, Poor Dao is not deliberately concealed, in fact, this matter is a matter of importance. ”

The Son of Heaven said: "Queen, this Taoist priest is so timid. ”

Only when the queen faced the Son of Heaven did she smile and said softly: "Your Majesty, this Taoist priest is afraid of His Majesty's Tianwei, lest he say the wrong thing and be dragged down by His Majesty and cut off his head." ”

The Son of Heaven grinned and said: "Don't be afraid, Taoist priests, I, I don't just cut off people's heads, you have something to say, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it." ”

The queen said: "Qingfeng Zhenren, Your Majesty forgives you for your innocence, please speak directly if you have something to say." ”

Qingfeng Zhenren was helpless, so he had to say: "Let the poor Dao test again." ”

He asked the attendant to send the bronze mirror, held it with a white cloth in his hand, turned it over and over to get closer to inspect it, and took a little bit of soil and twisted it carefully, put it into the water to check, and then saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty, the queen, these four bronze mirrors are the Dozhen Huayuan Sisha Town Treasure Mirror." ”

The queen raised one of her eyebrows and said in surprise: "Can Qingfeng really see clearly?" ”

Qingfeng Zhenren lowered his head, gritted his teeth and said: "I can see clearly, when Ge Hongzhen lectured five years ago, Poor Dao was fortunate to have seen the treasure mirror. ”

The queen's voice became colder and colder: "Ge Zhenren will give a lecture, and the palace will also go." This treasure mirror carves the image of the four fierce beasts, which is in the name of its four evils, and it is used well, and it is used badly, but it is a big murderer. Five years ago, Ge Zhenren refined the Four Evil Treasure Mirrors for King Pengcheng, but King Pengcheng said that this magic weapon was ominous, and he was afraid of trouble in the future, so he ordered it to be destroyed. Unexpectedly...... Today I am fortunate to see the real thing again. ”

The Son of Heaven said blankly: "The queen knows this magic weapon very clearly. ”

The queen smiled, showing a little bit of the coquettishness of a little daughter, and said in a low voice: "Five years ago, the concubine had not yet decided on a marriage...... Chase Xie Yinggongzi to the lecture meeting. Ge Zhenren is Xie Ying's master. ”

The Son of Heaven smiled: "The queen was really naughty before. ”

The two laughed a few more words, and the Son of Heaven suddenly pointed to the wooden box and asked: "The old things of the Chuyu Palace, hiding the birth date of the King of Pengcheng, the underground of the Chuyu Palace, digging out the treasures that originally belonged to the King of Pengcheng, why?" ”

The Son of Heaven has a straightforward temperament, but he is not a stupid person, and now this question, everyone's hearts sank, and the queen seemed to be smiling, looking at the ministers kneeling under the seat.

Sima Qian fell to the ground and cried: "Please do justice for your grandfather and father!" ”

The Son of Heaven hurriedly got up and left the throne, went to support Sima Qian, and said in a loud voice: "Cousin, don't be sad, speak slowly." ”

Sima Qian held the sleeve of the Son of Heaven, cried quietly, shaved his shoulders and trembled, like a pear blossom with rain, I saw pity, choked up: "The minister heard that the Four Evil Treasure Mirrors can suppress evil and attract evil, Uncle Jinghuang ...... On the one hand, he announced that he had destroyed this evil thing, but unexpectedly buried it in my Chuyu Palace, killing his siblings and making people feel cold! ”

The Son of Heaven said in a panic: "Uncle Jinghuang, he ...... Why do you do such things? ”

The queen said: "Your Majesty is angry, whether Uncle Jinghuang has done it or not, it is better to summon him and ask in person." ”

The Son of Heaven said: "However, it is a long way from Xuzhou to the capital, and it will take several ......days to speed up the whip."

The queen smiled: "Although Uncle Jinghuang is far away in Xuzhou, his son is in Beijing. Yao Shilang. ”

Yao Canghai, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, took a step forward and said softly: "Queen, the prince of Pengcheng came to visit Concubine Zhou today, and now he has left the palace. Say yes...... Go to listen to the Tao Lou will be a confidant. ”

The queen chuckled, "The prince has confidants all over the world, and I don't know if I can be busy or not." ”

The Son of Heaven said: "In that case, Wei Su, you should send someone to ask Brother Yu to come back again." ”

Wei Su was busy responding, and was ordered to "invite" Sima Yu.

He strode out of Taicheng and immediately gathered his troops and horses, Chao He and the lieutenants followed closely behind, and asked nervously, "General/senior brother, what happened?" ”

Wei Su looked solemn, turned over and got on his horse, only looked at the dark clouds in the sky, and sighed loudly: "It's going to change the sky." ”
