Twenty years ago, Yunhua Yizi, who was famous in the capital, was Yu Shu's senior brother, this realization was too amazing, and it took Xue Rui a while to accept it.

Yu Shu was not calmer than him, the two were silent for a while, or Xue Rui asked first:

"How can you be sure it's him? Did your master mention your brother's name, could it be that you were mistaken? ”

Yu Shu asked rhetorically: "Do you know why I left my hometown and went to the capital from Jiangnan with Xiao Xiu?" ”

"In order to get rid of the Ji family and get ahead?"

At the beginning, the Ji family was powerful in Yiyang, and Yu Shu, in order to avenge Zhao Hui's grievances, went to court, revealing that the Ji family's Dayi Pavilion annotated the matter of fake life signing for people to seek money and kill people, so he completely offended the Ji family.

"Yes and no, another reason why I came to the capital was because of the master's entrustment, I suspect that Yunhua also entered Beijing to take the exam because of this entrustment, and deliberately approached Princess Luyue."

Xue Rui got up, sat up straight, and asked, "What is the entrustment?" ”

Since Yu Shu came to this dynasty, there are two things that have been hidden the deepest, which she plans to rot into her stomach, one is that she borrowed the corpse to return her soul, and the other is the commission of Qingzheng Daoren that day.

She once made an oath in front of Qing Zheng that in her lifetime, she would help him find the "Xuannu Liuren Book" and destroy it, and she would not be able to learn the skills in that book.

Qing Zheng had already told her that this book was in the hands of the big mention, who was the big mention point of Si Tianjian, and she only knew that she was one of the most important ministers at the feet of the Son of Heaven after she had mixed up in Anling City. That's a big shot that she can't even match.

To get the "Xuannu Liuren Book" from his hand, Yu Shu didn't dare to move before he was absolutely sure.

Now that he understands Yunhua Yizi's privacy back then, Yu Shu seems to have seen how she followed his old path, and he can't help but be vigilant, and he has become more and more determined to have a thought:

It must not be known about the commission of the Qing Zheng.

Not even Xue Rui, because she can't trust him 100% yet, unless-

"Big brother has to swear not to reveal it to a third person before I can tell you this secret."

Xue Rui was stared at by Yu Shu without blinking, and his mood was a little delicate. He could sense the distrust she was exuding at the moment. He should have been displeased, but in fact, he was a little happy.

Because she was planning to share her secret with him, and this secret. He was the first person she talked about.

Watch her make a serious request. Say it's distrust. Clarity is trust.

The girl he loves is cunning most of the time, but sometimes. She is simple and straightforward, and endearing.

"I, Xue Chengbi, swear here today that I will guarantee my life for the rest of my life that if the secret of Yu Shu is mentioned to anyone else, the corpse will be in a different place, and it will not be a good death, and the six realms of the next life will be reduced to a dog."

A true oath, after finishing speaking, he looked at Yu Shu's tense face, suddenly smiled, reached out and gently pinched her cheek, and said:

"Can you say it now?"

Yu Shu glanced at him deeply, and said slowly: "Master asked me to find the "Xuannu Liuren Book" and destroy it. ”

Xue Rui was speechless for a moment.

He didn't know much about the "Xuannu Liuren Book", but he also heard from Yu Shu's mouth that the Da'an Misfortune was said to come from above, and it is conceivable how many secrets related to state affairs are hidden in this book, and they can easily take people's lives.

Yu Shu wants to destroy this book, and this act alone is tantamount to a traitor and thief.

Now Xue Rui knows why Yu Shu solemnly asked him to swear, such a purpose, daring to leak it is the word "death".

"So I wonder if Yunhua was also commissioned like me to destroy the "Xuannu Liuren Book", but he was recognized by someone later, so he died here. Coupled with his age, and you told me that he had a wife in his hometown, these circumstances made me feel that he was the senior brother in my master's mouth. ”

Yu Shu completely told Xue Rui her speculation, unsuspecting.

"It's very likely," Xue Rui hesitated, "but with these things, I can't be very sure that it's him, does your master still mention other characteristics of your senior brother?" ”

Yu Shu shook his head, "No, the master never told me much about him, but he still drank wine and confided a few words, which I wrote down." ”

Although there was no conclusive evidence, Yu Shu's intuition told her that Yunhua was Qing Zheng's big apprentice and couldn't be wrong.

"If he is really your senior brother, why don't you use your thaumaturgy of fortune to find out if he died because of the "Book of Xuannu Liuren"?" Xue Rui proposed.

Yu Shu frowned and said: "Big brother doesn't know the Tao of Lu, my law of disaster time is indeed a good cause of death, but there are three conditions, all of which are indispensable: one must know the birth date of the person, the second must know the death of the person, and the third must have the same disaster as an introduction." The first two are satisfying, but the last two are just as difficult, if he really died because of that book, there are no ancients, I can't figure it out. ”

Xue Rui sighed regretfully, and felt that it was normal for Yu Shu to not be able to figure it out, it was really that she could know the death of the world, and that was the living king of Hades.

"Then what are you going to do, do you really want to follow your master's instructions and destroy that book?" Xue Rui asked tentatively.

Yu Shu's face was a little dazed and hesitant, but it quickly disappeared, and she said calmly:

"It's too early to say anything, it's not too late for me to figure out what is hidden in the Book of Xuannu Liuren, and then make a decision."

It was true that she promised Qing Zheng to help him destroy the book, but before everything, the first thing was that she could live according to her own wishes.

Xue Rui didn't say anything, just looked at her resolute expression, and his eyes flashed with inexplicability.

***

After the meal, Yu Shu took the eight characters of the tenth princess and went upstairs alone.

Xue Rui didn't go up to disturb her, so he set up a fragrant table and tea seat downstairs, boiled water and made tea, and waited for a result.

Upstairs, Yu Shu washed his hands and burned incense, and used ambergris in order to be accurate. even replaced it with a soothing white crystal bracelet.

Only Xiaoqing was left indoors, and a maid was left to study the incense.

She listed the birth date of the deceased on the paper, and compared it to the time of death, she went back to three years ago - the eleventh year of Zhaoqing, and the month of Wuyin in the year of Gengchen.

The tenth princess had an accident on the thirteenth day of the first month and died in the early morning of the fourteenth

Half an hour later, scribbled on the paper, Yu Shu calculated the misfortune that had happened in those two days, stopped his pen, his brows were tied in a knot, and his eyes showed disbelief.

She opened "Life and Death" without believing it. Look it up above. After a few identical cases, I was surprised to find out that I couldn't close my mouth anymore.

Ten princesses, how did you die!?

She still couldn't believe it. Simply re-laid the paper. The days before the death of the ten princesses were counted day by day. Seek the truth.

In this way, it was evening in a blink of an eye, until Xiaoqing added a lamp under the window. The fragrant people in the room couldn't open their eyes, Yu Shucai looked up from the desk with a red eye, a thick stack of straw paper under her hand, the ink was cold and dry, and her face was indescribably tangled.

For the death of the tenth princess, she also had plans in the past few days, but she never expected it to be such a beginning and end, how could she talk to Xue Rui?

Xue Rui knew that the truth that made him feel guilty for three years was like this, how would he face it?

Yu Shu sat quietly for a long time, looking at the dense numbers and symbols on the paper, and felt an unspeakable anger in his heart towards the tenth princess who had never met and died first.

"Whoa" –

Yu Shu grabbed a stack of papers on the table, crumpled them vigorously, threw them into the empty basin at his feet, only grabbed the last one in his hand, and said to Xiaoqing in a cold voice:

"I got it and burned it clean."

***

Xue Rui didn't know how many pots of spring water were boiling in the afternoon, seeing that the sky was dark, and Yu Shu hadn't come down yet, he inevitably had some anxiety, and was about to go upstairs to have a look, when he saw the door in front of him being pushed open, and Yu Shu walked in.

Xue Rui immediately stood up, and there was a hint of urgency in his voice that he couldn't detect:

"How's that, have you figured it out?"

"Figured it out."

Yu Shu's face was pale, he walked over and sat down on the chair opposite him, and took care of the purple clay pot on the tea table, and without using a cup, he took a few sips of warm water on the spout.

Seeing this, Xue Rui also sat back, staring at her with a pair of black eyes, although he did not urge her to speak, but his expression was clearly anxious to know the answer.

Yu Shu drank the tea, her mouth was bitter, she poured half a pot of tea into her mouth in one go, and put down the teapot with a "bang".

"The tenth princess was not pushed down, she jumped from the sea viewing tower by herself."

Xue Rui blinked a few times, as if he didn't understand.

Yu Shu saw that he didn't feel good in his heart, so he had to harden his heart and make his words clear:

"The tenth princess committed suicide, she jumped off the building and fell into the lake, did not fall to her death, but died of typhoid fever in winter. I calculated it three times, and there would be no mistake, it wasn't Jinxun who pushed her down, and no one pushed her. ”

Speaking of this, Xue Rui would no longer be incomprehensible, and his handsome face gradually froze.

"Why?"

I don't know if this voice is asking Yu Shu or himself.

Why did the tenth princess jump off the building to seek death when she was married, and she had to blame the innocent Xue Jinxun's head, and she didn't tell the truth when she died.

Why?

This answer, Yu Shu shouldn't have known it, but she calculated a bad account and peeked into an embarrassing truth-

"Not long before the accident of the tenth princess, she committed the peach blossom robbery, but she was born in the year of Xin You, a man of Xiao Ji, not the eldest brother."

Xue Rui was born in the year of Renxu, Xiao Dog.

"Not only that, but two days before her accident, she committed another villain, and this villain is also a Xiao Ji man."

Peach blossom robbery, committing villains, two disasters, is the easiest to get into a dead end.

"Big brother, you don't have to feel guilty, the tenth princess was not framed because of you, otherwise I calculated that the deadly peach blossom tribulation should be on you. It can be seen that you are her good fate, but she has distracting thoughts and has gone astray. ”

Yu Shu didn't want to say it too embarrassingly, but Xue Rui would find it difficult to accept it after he knew the truth.

But in fact, she also thought about the whole thing and speculated several times before she pieced together a truth with the greatest probability-

The tenth princess should have had an affair with a man from Xiao Ji a long time ago, and she didn't want to marry Xue Rui, but she didn't dare to openly disobey the holy will, so she would make this decision:

She took Xue Rui's sister Xue Jinxun to the uninhabited Guanhai Tower alone, and then jumped down from it, creating the illusion that Xue Jinxun was the murderer.

The tenth princess probably didn't expect that she would really die, she probably thought that there was a lake downstairs, and if she fell into the water, someone would definitely rescue her in time, and at most she would be seriously ill, so she could identify Xue Jinxun as harming her, so as to escape this marriage.

How could she think that she overestimated her body bones, and after a night of typhoid fever, she really died.

Therefore, the bitter fruits that Xue Rui's brothers and sisters have tasted so far are just to bear all the blame for a woman's selfishness.

The truth is often so unbearable. (To be continued.) )
