(311), the reason for the burial of the white tablet
Mo Ye pursed her lips, she didn't have any kung fu foundation, she could only carefully climb down from the top of the huge rock by the sea with a clumsy movement. Seeing Wu Shu waiting under the stone, she felt a slight warmth in her heart.
This young man, whose appearance can be described as ugly and terrifying, is not as cold in heart as his face, which is always expressionless.
Perhaps his facial expression was stiff because he had half of his face to make up for it.
It was a half-true mask, and although it was thought that a master of medicine had sewn it on half of his face with such subtle and strange tricks, it was not as flexible as his real face.
Mo Ye suddenly couldn't help but think: If this weren't the case, if he hadn't been robbed by the mountain bandits a few years ago, and his family was ruined, then what would Wu Shu do now?
Ever since the big stone came down, Mo Ye began to think about these questions, and the people fell silent, which made Wu Shu, who was used to her talking a lot, suddenly feel a little strange.
When I came to the city gate, the morning sun was rising, the sun was getting stronger, and the people who entered the city at the city gate also gathered and lined up in a small line. Mo Ye and Wu Shu walked into the team of the city, and their forward speed suddenly almost stopped.
Wu Shu looked around at the people entering the city, and finally turned his gaze back and landed on Mo Ye. He looked at her who was still silent, and suddenly asked, "You don't like to go back?" ”
Mo Ye shook his head and hesitated for a while before he spoke: "Uncle Wu, in fact, I was thinking about another question just now. ”
Wu Shu took a step forward with the slow movement of the crowd entering the city, and then stood on his feet again. He heard Mo Ye speak, but he just glanced sideways at her, and didn't ask what the question was, as she had hoped.
After spending a few days with him, Mo Ye had already learned some of Wu Shu's character. Even though she knew him very little, it had allowed her to get used to his dullness.
It's just that Mo Ye suddenly made another discovery at this time. When facing the sea from the top of a seaside rock, Wu Shu seems to become a little more talkative. But after leaving that place. Wu Shu regained his usual taciturn appearance. She didn't know if the discovery was her own delusion.
Temporarily suppressing this thought in her heart, Mo Ye took the initiative to explain the question she had just mentioned, and said to Wu Shu with a smile: "Actually, Uncle Wu shouldn't be a silent person. If you hadn't been robbed, would you be studying at a college somewhere? Or have you already been admitted to the academy? ”
The more Mo Ye said the back, the more she said to herself.
"The children in the neighborhood who saw me would only call me impermanent." Wu Shu suddenly spoke, there seemed to be a hint of a self-deprecating smile in his tone, but his face, which was like half of the taut drum skin, still didn't see the slightest vividness, "You can see the shadow of Swensheng from my face, I really want to say admiration." ”
A thought moved in Mo Ye's heart. Nuzui said: "That's because they haven't spoken to you, but judging from their appearance, it's very likely that they think so." ”
Speaking of this, she suddenly lowered her head again and smiled and whispered, "But." Of course, they don't have the opportunity to make small talk with you like I did. ”
Wu Shu glanced at Mo Ye, who was almost snickering, and originally wanted to say, "Your chance is running out", but soon he hesitated for a moment and swallowed it to dissipate. At this time, the two of them were already very close to the city gate, and it was inconvenient to talk about any more gossip.
The process of entering the city was very simple, but this process made Mo Ye, who was accustomed to carefully observing the things around him, see something strange. This is not only related to the fact that the inspection she received when she first entered the city through the West Gate was too strict. also because she found that the guards of the East City Gate were also relatively strict in their inspection of those who entered the city, and in this strict background, the relaxation of Wu Shu was much more obvious.
After entering the city, walking on the street where the pedestrians were not too dense, Mo Ye couldn't help but ask: "I heard what others say." Exit inspections have always been much simpler than entry inspections. But Uncle Wu, why is the city gate guard very lenient towards your entry into the city? Do they know who you are? ”
"Definitely. But what they know is my identity as an Air China crewmate. After Wu Shu's words paused, he said: "The crew of the Air China team, just say that there are hundreds of crew members like me who are responsible for stepping on the paddle wheel. Although we often walked through the east gate, and every time we went out to sea, we had to let the garrison remember the faces of each of us. The difficulty is great. But they really remembered the way my face looked, and thanks to the fact that it was so different. ”
He said this in a calm voice. Mo Ye suddenly felt a touch in his heart when he heard this.
Not to mourn because of her own misery, not to feel inferior to her own physical defects, not to complain about others, this is the insight she has gained from him today. Perhaps the ugly and slightly hideous young man in front of him used to mourn and feel inferior, but now he has come out of this psychological predicament.
Or maybe it's because he has such an experience, and after watching her experience, he feels a little empathetic, so he will talk more about comforting and explaining to her?
Mo Ye, who was fluctuating, shook his head slightly, and Wu Shu hesitated to ask when he saw this: "What's wrong with you?" ”
Mo Ye sorted out his mood a little, and after breathing a sigh of relief, he asked, "Uncle Wu, shouldn't all the crew members have your other identity, right?" ”
Wu Shumu looked suspicious, but he nodded.
"Actually, I'm curious about your master, and I asked those questions, just to figure out another thing." Mo Ye slowly lowered his head, and his steps slowed down, "Now I understand." ”
"What do you understand?" Wu Shu stopped directly and stopped facing Mo Ye.
"Is it because of this secret identity, even though you and the rest of your team members know your master's identity information, when he is buried, you still can't leave any inscription on his tombstone......" Mo Ye slowly raised his head, looked at Wu Shu, and the next words he said, his tone became stiff, "But what is the secret of my master's identity?" Just say that the capital city under my feet has traces of him everywhere. ”
"It's not hard to explain." Wu Shu lowered his hoarse voice and continued: "The reason why my master was buried in Baibei, you are only half right. In addition to his identity, he also knew too many secrets of the northern kingdom. So even though he is dead, and only his head is in the grave, it is still possible to attract spies from the North to dig up his grave. The white monument is buried in the royal martyrs' mausoleum, which is the last protection of his dignity by the state. ”
Mo Ye was stunned when he heard this, and said in a daze: "If a person dies, everything is over, why should someone abuse the body of a dead person like this......
Wu Shu calmly recounted: "My master has stolen many secrets of the Northern Kingdom, including some shameful secrets in the Northern Forbidden Palace, which are extremely implicated. In addition, he also occupies the body of the unmarried sister of the current lord of the northern kingdom. This is a great shame for the northern country, so the northern country has to find a reason and a way to wash away their national shame. ”
He sighed and slowly continued: "Master, his background is similar to mine, and there was no one in the family when he joined the group. The northerners want revenge, but they can't find his family, and he's dead, so they can only find his corpse to vent their anger. I heard that the witchcraft in the northern country is very peculiar, and the two top wizards in the national capital Shilu can manipulate corpses to act like living people, and can also make the souls of the most heinous people scatter after death, and they can never return their souls to people, which is extremely strange and fierce. ”
Mo Ye's heartstrings twitched. After taking a deep breath, she slowly slowed down her mind and said, "My master shouldn't have offended the Northern Imperial Court, right?" ”
Wu Shu nodded, but at the same time he said with a worried look in his eyes: "Your master has offended many people, and when you add them up, the sum of your master's resentment and resentment is no weaker than the hatred and resentment of my master in the Northern Imperial Court. ”
Mo Ye thought for a moment and asked, "Officials...... Isn't that official already in prison? How much more means can he have to match the strength of the Northern King's Court? ”
The expression in Wu Shu's eyes changed slightly, his eyes looked around sharply, and then he suddenly stretched out his hand to pull Mo Ye closer to his side, bowed his head slightly, and whispered in her ear: "Lord Lin's assassination, the fire in the mansion, the emperor has been directing people to investigate it strictly recently. But although the spearhead of the mastermind behind the scenes has long been against the person who told you, no direct evidence has been found. Still, the man's own sin was enough for him to behead, but you can't talk about it too much. If you are taken to the official office for questioning because of this, the official government has no reason to embarrass you, but your relationship with Lord Lin is basically public, and it will be endless trouble for you. ”
Mo Ye's heart tightened, and he unconsciously raised a hand hanging by his side and grabbed a piece of Wu Shu's clothes.
As soon as her fingers were forced, she felt a tingling sensation hit her fingers, almost piercing her heart. Only then did she realize that the hand she had grabbed Wu Shuyi was the right hand that had just been bitten off five fingertips by herself. She frowned and loosened the hem of Wu Shu's clothes.
Despite this, her anxiety and fear about her future fate still made Wu Shu feel a little.
"Maybe you don't know, in addition to leaving many traces of him in Kyoto, your master also has a shadow of participation in some of the emperor's war plans." Wu Shu closed his mouth when he said this, but the words stopped here, and the intention of not finishing the words was obvious.
Wu Shu didn't know, he thought Mo Ye didn't know, but in fact, Mo Ye knew a little. It's just that she barely paid attention to the things that her master had mentioned to her, and as time went by, the relevant memories in her mind faded a lot.
However, because he mentioned this matter today, Mo Ye picked up some memories of the past, considering that from another perspective, the master had mentioned to her about the Qingchuan War and the old Sichuan Army.
