Chapter 165

"What?"

"How so?!"

As soon as Zuo Yuanfeng's words fell, there were surprised voices from Zuo Idiot and Deng Si'er.

Seeing this, Zuo Yuanfeng glanced down at the 'Gu Worm Key' in his hand, then held the iron box in his hand and walked towards his own Taishi chair behind the mahogany desk.

Until Zuo Yuanfeng sat down steadily, Zuo Idiot and Deng Si'er still looked surprised and puzzled, standing in a daze, staring at themselves without moving, as if they were just waiting for Zuo Yuanfeng's answer.

Zuo Yuanfeng looked at the two people standing in front of him, sighed lightly, waved his hand slightly, and motioned for both of them to sit down.

Seeing this, Deng Si'er turned his head and glanced at Zuo Idiot at each other, and when he saw Zuo Idiot moving his gaze at him slightly, he sat back obediently.

Zuo Idiot also sat down with Deng Si'er, straightened his body, and looked at his father Zuo Yuanfeng without blinking.

Zuo Yuanfeng looked down at the 'Gu Worm Key' in his hand that was about to be forgotten in his memory, and after sighing softly, he looked up at Zuo Idiot and Deng Si'er and said slowly:

"Since you all know that this iron box is called 'Gu Worm Key', presumably, you won't be unclear about the special features of this iron box, right?"

"I remember Uncle Jing once said that this 'Gu worm key' is about the method of opening this iron box, as if there is a kind of worm hidden in the keyhole of this box, and it needs to be used with the key and blood to open it." Hearing this, Deng Si'er recalled what Chu Jing had said. Out of the air.

"That's right, I also remember what Uncle Jing said at the beginning." Zuo Idiot also said on the side.

"Originally, it was on the keyhole in this tin box. The key and the keyhole can be combined, but because the Gu worms live in a group, the keyhole will be blocked, so that your key will not work, but with human blood stimulation, those Gu worms will disperse. The inside of the lock hole is unobstructed, and as long as there is a matching key, it is no longer difficult to open. Am I right? Zuo Yuanfeng said again.

Seeing this, Zuo Idiot and Deng Si'er couldn't help but glance at each other again, obviously very puzzled, for this 'Gu worm key'. Why does Zuo Yuanfeng know so much? is it the same as what Chu Jing said at the beginning?

Zuo Yuanfeng lifted the small iron box in his hand and stretched it out in front of Deng Si'er. Asked:

"When you opened it, you used your blood?"

Deng Si'er blinked and looked at Zuo Yuanfeng and couldn't even say a word, but said in his heart: Why do you even know this?!

What else can Zuo Yuanfeng not understand when he sees this? So he withdrew his hand, glanced at Deng Si'er, then at his son, and said:

"Things were already very complicated, even more than you might think now. It's much more thrilling and weird. ”

"Father, do you ...... You ...... too? Seeing this, Zuo Idiot immediately understood something. Said in surprise.

Zuo Yuanfeng nodded without concealment, his eyes were always fixed on the small iron box in his hand and never left, but he still said in his mouth:

"Yes, since you've found out so far, it's okay to tell you. Back then, Deng Si'er's father, His Royal Highness King Yue, and I ...... They are dear friends. ”

"Best friends?! This...... How can it be? The left idiot looked even more surprised than just now.

Father turned out to be close friends with His Royal Highness King Yue back then? Why have you never heard my father and mother mention it?

Even, why have you never heard anyone mention it?

When Zuo Yuanfeng saw Zuo Idiot like this, he also knew what Zuo Idiot was thinking at this time, so with a little amazement, mixed with a hint of helplessness, he said slowly:

"It's normal for you to be surprised and confused, after all...... I have not mentioned this past to anyone since the Rebellion of the Three Kings 16 years ago. ”

"However, if you don't say, why does your mother ......," Zuo Idiot said again.

"You don't know that your mother was the fourth child of the emperor, but she was also ...... Today's emperor, as well as His Royal Highness King Yue, the most favored sister. ”

Zuo Yuanfeng sighed softly when he said this, remembering that he still had the blessing of His Royal Highness King Yue back then, so that he and Princess Chunyang became husband and wife.

"Your mother has been the closest to His Royal Highness King Yue since she was a child, and the deep relationship between brother and sister is really not something you can imagine, since King Yue...... After leaving, I don't want to mention it, how could your mother be willing to mention this sad thing? Zuo Yuanfeng said lightly.

"Even so, what does the 'Gu worm key' have to do with the emperor?" Deng Si'er suddenly felt very reluctant to be mentioned about his own father Yue Wang, and wanted to change the topic with some annoyance.

Seeing this, Zuo Yuanfeng glanced at Deng Si'er unexpectedly, although he didn't understand why Deng Si'er behaved like this, he also changed his tone and said:

"This 'Gu worm key' on your body was given to King Yue by the emperor back then."

"The emperor sent it?" Deng Si'er asked rhetorically.

Zuo Yuanfeng nodded and continued:

"Exactly, you probably won't know that among the princes of the former emperor, the current saint, who is the second prince, is the most unfavored one. Because of this, other princes are not close relatives of our emperor, but this His Royal Highness King Yue, the third brother of our emperor, is the most favored and the most shining prince. ”

Zuo Yuanfeng paused and continued:

"The third prince was named the prince as early as when he was still a minor, and after he became an adult, whether it was in the court or in the army, he was famous, and the talent of the king of Yue made all the princes at that time only envious, but they could not compare."

"That being the case, the king of Yue ...... Why ......" Zuo Idiot asked with a puzzled frown when he heard this.

In this case, King Yue has already sat firmly on the throne of the prince, why should he seek to rebel and seize the throne?

"Is it a rebellion of the Three Kings?" Zuo Yuanfeng smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said slowly:

"At that time, His Royal Highness the King of Yue carried the expectations of the Manchu Dynasty, who would have thought that such an outstanding person would become a rebel in one day?"

"Father, didn't even you know about what happened back then?" Zuo Idiot suddenly understood something, and asked in surprise.

Zuo Yuanfeng nodded helplessly, leaned back gently, leaned on the wide back of the chair, closed his eyes slightly and said:

"That's right, I was on my way back from a border patrol. Unexpectedly, when he arrived in the capital, he was ordered to clear the king of Yue. ”

"Yikes! I really want to hear what Wu Jue said about this! When Deng Si'er heard this, he immediately remembered what Wu Jue had said to him, so he asked again:

"General, what happened at the beginning?"

"What's going on?" Zuo Yuanfeng's eyes opened suddenly, but he said with a sad expression:

"What's going on? You ask me? Even if you ask all the people in the capital when the 'Three Kings Rebellion' happened, they must ...... None of them can answer your question. ”

Deng Si'er asked in disbelief when he heard this:

"How could it be...... Unexpectedly...... No one knows? (To be continued.) )
