Ah, it hurts......

I struggled to wake up, my eyes were still a little blurry with everything around me, and I could only try my best to gather information about my surroundings so that my brain could make effective judgments in the shortest possible time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Here, it may be a cave, so empty that you can hear the echo of your breath. On the left side should be the entrance to the cave, and there is a faint light coming in, and from the light, it seems that it is night, which means that I have been unconscious for about half a day. It's a little cold, and I can't hear anyone else around, but there should be water in the cave, and I can hear the sound of water flowing, it's not big, so the water flowing through the cave should be just a branch of the stream. I was lying on the dry grass, and I was wearing a heavy cloak of animal skins, which smelled fishy.

What's going on? How could I be here.

I sat up with my body propped up, and my head still hurt a little. I remember that I was in the cell in the courtyard of Lord Sui Que's mansion, and I was abducted by Hongling, and then, all the family members arranged by Sui Li blocked the door...... After that, Hongling seemed to have opened something, and there was smoke inside, and although I tried very hard to restrain my breathing, I still got hit, but I just smelled a little and fell asleep.

That's all I can remember, my head still hurts.

"Master, you're awake." Just in time for Hongling to come from where there was light, she walked up to me.

"Where is this? What purpose did you bring me here? "I'm wondering if the person behind Hongling is also here.

"The hosts. How can Hongling have any purpose for you? "She knelt in front of me, her eyes were determined, and she was dressed differently than she had been in the courtyard at that time." Hongling has been waiting for you to come back. ”

"You're, from the Jiuli tribe?" I noticed that her dress was similar to the clothes worn by the villagers that I had seen in the village before.

Hongling was surprised. "Master, don't you remember?"

"Your master, it shouldn't be me." I can't understand where her inexplicable loyalty to me comes from, and from the time she arrived at the Sui Que Mansion, it is almost impossible for her and Xiyue to meet in the mansion, but she keeps claiming that I am the master who looks similar to Xiyue, so her master is unlikely to be Xiyue, but should be the person who has the most direct relationship with Xiyue before Xiyue.

"Master, it's all Hongling's fault that the master suffered." Hongling lowered her head.

The Jiuli people, the owner of Hongling, have the most direct relationship with Xiyue...... According to the reasoning of various clues, "Your master, is it Chiyou or Yunji?" ”

"Hongling was originally a slave of Lord Chiyou, and was assigned to work for Lord Yunji." Hongling himself told the truth, "Master, it was Hongling's negligence that allowed Jingsui's old thief to steal the master, causing the master to suffer these sufferings, and now that the master has returned, the adult will be very happy." ”

I was still thinking about what Hongling said just now, but I was startled by the adult she suddenly said. "What sir?!"

Hongling said before that there are two adults, one is Lord Chiyou, if the records of later generations are correct, Chiyou should have died in the battle of the deer, and was cut off by the Yellow Emperor; Isn't that another adult Yun Ji? Xiyue's biological mother, Chi You's daughter, can be concluded from the oral accounts of many people that Yun Ji died many years ago, shortly after giving birth to Xiyue. ...... "What do you mean by ...... adults?"

"Naturally, it's your master, your eldest father, Lord Chiyou." When Hongling said this, I was prepared, staring at her every move with full attention, trying to detect the truth from her demeanor when she answered.

It's just that, looking at Hongling's appearance, what she said shouldn't be a lie. Her reaction was like saying something I should have known.

But now I suddenly have no bottom in my heart...... Chiyou? A man who should have been dead is still alive?! Since I couldn't tell from Hongling's appearance that she was lying, I should be prepared for the second one now. Even if it is not mentioned in oral history, and in all the accounts that come after, if this is true, is it not very dangerous that I am in my present position?

Although I had already thought that the person behind Hongling was extraordinary, destined to be related to the Jiuli people, and might start a war, I would never have thought that I would be able to know from Hongling's mouth that Chiyou was still alive?!

If Chiyou is still alive, then this war is probably ...... How should I inform Xiao Jue and the others, let them know that Chiyou is still alive, and prepare early...... Hongling was still looking at me, she was full of hope that I could think of something, and that face full of anticipation made me feel like I was in fear. All I can say is, "Chiyou...... Father, is he here now? ”

First of all, confirm where Chiyou is, and if he is not here, it would be good to say. But if he's here, before I have time to inform the others, at least I'll have further plans to protect myself.

"Yes." Hongling's answer denied all my hopes.

Chiyou is really here.

I couldn't help but stand on end with my hairs, and the situation became even more urgent. "So, where is this place?"

When I left the prison, it must have been just after noon, and if it was already dark, then the time between my departure and my awakening should have been no more than 12 hours, and since I woke up in a comfortable environment, it would at least prove that I had arrived here at least two hours or so before I woke up. In the estimated time of one to ten hours, even with all the tools at your disposal, donkey carts, sheep carts, mule carts, etc., it is impossible to escape too far.

time and speed, so it can be concluded that we are not too far from the city now.

"It's Stone Palace." Hongling said. "This is the stone palace built by the adults at the beginning, although it has not been repaired for many years, it is a little simple, but it can be temporarily respun, and it is still safe."

Stone Palace?!

I thought that Qin Shihuang was the only one in this world who loved to repair the underground palace and stone palace.

Hongling listened to the movement outside and said, "Master, you wait a minute. Hongling will come when he goes. ”

With that, Hongling got up and went out. It was as if she had really gone to find someone, but I had just not heard or noticed that someone was passing by outside, or even calling for her. And Hongling's reaction was like hearing someone calling her.

Something is wrong.

I dragged my tired body and stood up against the wall, which was very thick, and the sound of beating was dull, could it be that this stone palace was built underground? There is a smell of soil everywhere here, it is very likely to be underground, but it is not a small project to build a palace underground, this Jiuli clan is from the south, probably similar to the barbarians who came later than this time, Chiyou brought the clan to fight, and how did he build this stone palace under the nose of Yan Huang.

"Ahem......" coughed twice, and the smoke inhaled at that time still has a certain reaction in the body.

Looking back now, the smell of this smoke is almost exactly the same as the smell on the coarse cloth fragment I found in Mrs. Ziliang's small courtyard, which should be what Xiao Jue said, which is equivalent to indirectly confirming that Hongling, who owns this smoke, is inseparable from the fake Hongling who was burned to death in the small courtyard house. It should be that Hongling found a scapegoat in order to get out, making everyone think that he was dead.

But she made a mistake, she deliberately found a maid who had just entered the mansion to work, not wanting to arouse the suspicion of others too early, but this maid was much younger than her, and all the skeletons were also much smaller, and the bracelet that Hongling deliberately put on her hand to prove her identity happened to become the evidence of the crime of identifying her as the murderer.

But there is one thing I can't think of now, the first deceased in the courtyard, the doctor, he was attacked twice, the first time was confirmed by Mrs. Ziliang that it could not be Hongling, so I speculate that the second time it was Hongling who left a knife mark on the deceased's dead body. So for the first time, who was the person who attacked the deceased before his death?

Before I knew that the person behind Hongling was Chi You, I could also deduce that it was the person behind Hong Ling who attacked the deceased for the first time, but if it was Chi You, how could he not be noticed when he appeared in Sui Que's mansion? Sui Que was one of the people who followed the Yellow Emperor and fought against Yu Zhulu, and many of the old troops who fought with Sui Que in the past should still be guarding in the courtyard, and Chi You appeared in Sui Que's courtyard, which was very dangerous, and once he was recognized, it was possible to expose the news that he was still alive in the world, so for Chi You, he would only cause trouble for himself as soon as possible.

Would he be stupid enough to do it himself?

The cases I hate to deal with the most in my life are related to politics. People's ambitions and desires are infinitely greedy, but anything that has to do with politics may not be truly fair, just, and open.

"Master." Hongling came back, holding a bowl of soup and medicine, "You drink this medicine first, you can solve the drug in your body." ”

I took the decoction and looked at her, and it smelled bitter. But now is really not the time to be picky about this, I can only swallow it in one gulp, only by allowing my body to recover as soon as possible and preserve my strength, I may have a chance to resist. "By the way, did you just go to boil medicine?"

"Yes." Hongling took the soup bowl and was relieved, "Hongling has already reported to the adult, and the master is very happy to come back." ”

Hongling has already told Chiyou about my coming here?! Was it just a little while she was out? "Then I, can I go and see the Father now?"

When Hongling heard this, she was suddenly a little embarrassed, "Master, I'm afraid it won't work now." Since the Great War, the adults have not healed from their serious injuries, and they have rested after drinking the medicine. When the adults wake up, Hongling will definitely reunite the owner with the adults. ”

She said sincerely, and I didn't want to ask, "Since the doctor is seriously ill, it is more important to rest naturally, so let's do this first." ”

Even if he is seriously ill, shouldn't he think about seeing his deceased daughter's only daughter back when he is dying and struggling? This is really a bit out of normal logic, unless Chi You has no feelings for Xiyue's granddaughter, if so, how could Hongling take such a big risk to bring me back from prison?

"Yes, the master should rest first, it's getting late, the master must be hungry, Hongling will go and get some food for the master." Hongling said. (To be continued.) )
