Chapter 561 [Loyalty]
Tianzun and Yin Hou broke into the mountain gate directly, which was similar to looking for someone to seek revenge. www
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang hurriedly followed up with the little fourth son, firstly curious about what was wrong with them, and secondly, ...... I'm also a little afraid that there is a mechanism inside.
However, it turns out that even if there is a mechanism, it can't stop Tianzun and Yin Hou, who are angry.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang followed behind, and they felt that the cave was uncomfortable, Yin Hou's internal force was strong, Tianzun's internal force was cold, and behind this stone door was a passage hewn out of stone, which was not spacious, and it was frozen all around, and the ice slag clicked.
Zhan Zhao hugged Xiao Sizi for fear that he would freeze, Bai Yutang observed the surrounding structure, "This tunnel is a little familiar. β
Zhan Zhao also nodded, "There are several tunnels in Black Wind City, similar to this one. β
Bai Yutang said, "My second brother likes to dig tunnels the most, and there are also trap islands, which are commonly used in military camps for refuge, storage of food and soldiers, and are very effective. β
"Is this mountain connected to the wall of the three-headed Jintuo?" Zhan Zhao asked.
"It doesn't seem to work, but it's the same mountain, and there may be a mechanism." As Bai Yutang spoke, they had already walked out of the narrow passage, and suddenly a huge hole appeared in front of them...... The staircase goes all the way down the wall, and there is a huge pool of water underneath.
Bai Yutang raised his face and looked at the dome, "There is a sink that gathers rainwater on it, and the waterhole is for storing water. β
There were many, many caves around it, and it seemed that they could be used for people and storage, but at this time there were no living creatures in this huge cave except water, and of course there were no people.
Tianzun and Yin Hou turned around at the bottom of the cave several times, and Bai Yutang told them not to turn, the stairs here are built according to the labyrinth, and there are certain rules.
In the end, the fifth master found three paths, followed one of them, and an iron gate appeared in front of him.
The iron door is locked on the inside, so it can be opened easily...... When the door opened, there was also a closed mountain wall in front of me, and after looking for the mechanism...... The mountain gate opened, and the vines covered it.
After picking up the vines, he walked out and found himself near the Kim family's cemetery.
Several Imperial City soldiers who were guarding the tomb were startled, only to find that it was Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang.
Zhan Zhao asked, "Did anyone come out of here just now?" β
Several soldiers shook their heads.
So, Zhanzhao asked Cao Lan to guard here, and they went back the same way and took the second road.
The second path is upward, all the way up, and finally the iron gate, but this time when the iron gate opens, there is a wooden plank in front of you. Wait for Bai Yutang to open the mechanism...... And they came out to take a look...... I saw that I had arrived at the old house of the Jin family, and it was the study of the old man Jin. The mechanism that blocks the iron door is the bookshelf......
There are soldiers inside and outside the Jin family's mansion, and when Zhan Zhao asked, the Imperial City Army also said that they didn't see anyone, so they ...... The fake Kim Shan who escaped just now can only go from the third way.
This third road is a tunnel, and it's long, long.
Everyone walked for a long time, and finally saw the end, which was a few steps.
From the stairs, there is an iron gate that opens upwards...... After opening the iron gate, there was a light of day.
Wait until the people come out of the hole facing upwards, and look around...... It turned out to be a dry well. The dry well was in a secluded alley.
Zhan Zhao looked at the alley and felt a little familiar inexplicably.
"Huh?" Zhan Zhao wondered, "Isn't this the city of Kaifeng City?" β
The crowd ran out of the alley, and sure enough...... In front of it is the street of Kaifeng Mansion, which is very lively, and this street is very familiar - not far away, it is Baifu.
"It leads all the way from the West Mountain." Zhan Zhao was surprised.
Bai Yutang poked him and pointed to the other side.
Zhan Zhao looked back and frowned...... At the other end of the same street, there is a big mansion - Qiankun Academy.
Tianzun touched his chin lightly - is it a coincidence?
Yin Hou frowned, "If that kid came out of here just now, it would be difficult to find him in the crowd." β
"But why did he deliberately walk past the gate of Taixue and escape from here?" Zhan Zhao was a little puzzled.
Bai Yutang also nodded, "I also think he seems to be intentionally taking us through this tunnel." β
"Speaking of which." Zhan Zhao asked Yin Hou and Tianzun curiously, "Why are you two so angry?" β
Yin Hou and Tianzun both frowned.
Bai Yutang thought for a moment, "Does it have anything to do with that iron door?" β
Zhan Zhao also nodded, and they suddenly lost their temper after seeing the iron gate.
Tianzun "tsk" twice.
Yin Hou told SΓΉ Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, "Don't mention this matter to your little uncle, understand?" β
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were even more puzzled, what does it have to do with Wu Yicao? Why is it that the more the case is investigated, the more it is related to Wu Yicao?
"It's a long story." Yin Hou patted Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, "Let's go back and talk about it." β
After speaking, he walked to Kaifeng Mansion.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang caught up, and the little fourth son was lying on Zhan Zhao's shoulder with his chin in his hand, thinking-Isn't it still going to Taixue to teach kung fu?
The two returned to Kaifeng Mansion, Tianzun looked left and right, and found that Wu Yiwu was not there, so he asked the old man Feng, "Where is the sick bag?" β
Feng Chuanfeng shook his head, "I just went to the stable, and when I came back, he was gone. β
Yin Hou's brows furrowed, "What about Jiu Niang?" β
"It's like drinking tea with Mrs. Bao in the backyard." Feng Chuanfeng saw Yin Hou's stern expression, so he asked, "What's wrong?" β
Yin Hou asked the little fourth son to run and call Jiuniang, and the rest of the people entered the meow meow building together, sat down and talked in detail.
After a while, Jiuniang was pulled by the little fourth son, and when she entered the door, she asked, "What's wrong?" β
Yin Hou ordered the table.
Jiuniang came over and sat down.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang sat on the side, looking at each other - what is the situation.
Yin Hou said to Jiu Niang, "Two things." β
Jiuniang tilted her head.
Tianzun reminded her, "You are not allowed to be angry for a while, listen to it first." β
Jiuniang was even more puzzled.
Yin Hou stretched out a finger and gesturedβthe first one.
"Yan Wei is still alive......"
After Yin Hou finished speaking, he saw Jiu Niang stunned.
Then, Hong Jiuniang stood up, "Where is it?" The old lady grabbed him and divided his body. β
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were surprised - they felt that they were all burned around, and they were really worried that Jiu Niang would burn the meow building with a torch......
"Didn't I tell you to sit down?" Tianzun asked her to get angry.
The wind spread the wind, "The sick bag has seen Yan Wei." β
Jiu Niang's eyes widened, "So what?" β
"He let Yan Wei go." The wind said, "Yan Wei is having a good time now, and he has a full house of children and grandchildren with some of Fan Ju's remaining parties." β
When Jiu Niang heard this, she suddenly smiled, as if she had heard something interesting, "Full of children and grandchildren?" He is also entitled to have a full house of children and grandchildren...... Ha ha. β
Zhanzhao sighed softly.
Bai Yutang also frowned slightly-at this moment, he could only see the "witch" side of the legend of Red Jiuniang. Hong Jiuniang has the same reputation as a ghost in the rivers and lakes, a fire can instantly turn the world into purgatory, if there is any witch ranking in the rivers and lakes, no one dares to admit the first if she recognizes the second. It's just that after getting along during this time, Jiuniang is very kind on weekdays, and Bai Yutang even thinks that she is still a little obsessed with Wu Yicao, considerate, and completely an ordinary woman. However, at this time, Jiu Niang's smile was poignant, and that look should have melted a city......
Bai Yutang looked at Zhanzhao.
At this time, Zhanzhao went out, took the little fourth son out first, and handed it to Mrs. Bao in the backyard to take with him, so as not to be afraid of his favorite aunts in the future.
Mother-in-law Heishui was sitting in the backyard, and when she saw Zhanzhao put down the little fourth son and hurriedly left, she took the little fourth son's hand and asked him, "What's wrong?" β
As soon as the little fourth son was half-understood, he said, "Aunt Hong seems to be very angry, Yin Yin is talking about what Yan Wei is still alive, and then just now I saw an iron door, Yin Yin and Zunzun were also angry." β
"What iron gate?" Mrs. Bao wondered.
Xiao Sizi took the pen and paper on the table, thought about it, and roughly drew the Mida who was split in half and showed it to Granny Heishui.
Granny Heishui glanced at it and frowned, "This is Cheng Bang's military emblem, how can it appear here." β
"Cheng Bang......" Mrs. Bao is also very knowledgeable, "It's a little familiar." β
"Cheng Bang is a fool." Granny Blackwater smiled helplessly, "It's stupid, stupid enough to only listen to that sick bag." β
"Ahh Mrs. Bao was reminded and remembered, "The double famous general Cheng Bang!" He was a subordinate of General Youlian back then, and I have seen in some history of war strategy and field, he has several very classic battles, and he is quite brave. β
Granny Heishui smiled, "Cheng Bang is brave, brave and brute, I actually don't know too well...... It's dead anyway. β
Mrs. Bao nodded, and when she saw that Granny Heishui was distracted, she asked, "Does the matter involve the secret war history of that year?" Does it have anything to do with the Battle of the City? β
Granny Blackwater frowned, "Guancheng...... Sadly, some scars have not healed for a lifetime, and they finally forgot the pain, so do they have to tear them open again? The sick bag must have owed those two brothers in his last life, alas......"
Speaking of this, I saw Granny Blackwater shaking her head.
Mrs. Bao held the teacup and glanced at the little fourth son who was also holding a small teacupβwhat a complicated feeling......
β¦β¦
Meow Meow Building.
It was easy to suppress the fire and didn't immediately rush to the Xuzhou Mansion to kill Yan Wei, Jiuniang, asked Yin Hou, "What about the second thing?" β
Yin Hou spoke, "There is a crypt in the old mansion of the Jin family, and the door is ...... Cheng Bang's military emblem. β
After Yin Hou said this, Jiu Niang opened her mouth, stunned in place, and seemed to not know how to react for a while.
"Cheng Bang......" Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao both frowned, have they heard this name anywhere.
At this time, Zhao Pu came back from outside, he just came out of the barracks to find Long Qiaoguang but didn't find it, so he ran to Taixue to find Gongsun, Gongsun happened to look for him, saying that Tianzun and Yin Hou didn't know where to go with the little fourth son, and he couldn't get away from teaching if he wanted to teach, so he asked Zhao Pu to go back to Kaifeng Mansion to see.
The ninth prince ran to Kaifeng Mansion and saw that the door was closed, so he came to knock and knock on the door.
Opening the door, Zhao Pu probed in and took a look, and saw that Tianzun and Yin Hou were there, and the atmosphere was a little strange, so he asked, "Where is the little fourth son?" β
"In the backyard, Mrs. Bao." Zhan Zhao knew that it was probably Gongsun who asked him to find the fourth son.
"Oh......" Zhao Pu was curious, "what are you talking about?" Has there been progress in the case? β
Zhanzhao beckoned to him, which meant to let him in.
Zhao Pu was puzzled, entered the door, closed the door with his hand, walked to the table and sat down.
Bai Yutang was painting the pattern of the iron door just now.
Zhao Pu sat down, he happened to put down the paintbrush, Jiu Niang took the picture and looked at it, put it down, and nodded, "It is indeed Cheng Bang's military emblem." β
After speaking, his hand flicked...... The paper burned to ashes.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both frowned, not quite understanding what Jiu Niang's action meant - if you say angry, it was completely different from the reaction when she heard Yan Yu just now.
"Cheng Bang!" Zhao Pu came to the spirit, "I have heard the veteran of the army talk about him. β
"A veteran in the army?" Yin waited to see Zhao Pu.
"Hmm...... Very old veterans talk about some things from the past, but most of them have heard about it. Zhao Pudao, "In the history of the war, it is only mentioned that Cheng Bang died in the battle of Guancheng. Talking about the history of the war, the Nine Princes became energetic and asked, "But I heard that he was betrayed because of ...... Even the final tragic ending of the entire battle of Guancheng was caused by his betrayal? β
Zhao Pu finished speaking.
Seeing the complicated expressions on the faces of Yin Hou and Jiu Niang on the other side, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang didn't know how to interpret this expression, should they say that it was difficult to say what they wanted to say? Or do you want to cry without tears and cry and laugh?
β¦β¦
At this time, on the barracks playground on the outskirts of Kaifeng, a few arrow targets were placed a hundred steps away.
Wu Yiwu found a stone pier to sit on, and Long Qiaoguang stood beside him with a bow, frowning at the heavy bow in his hand...... The original quiver was placed in the distance, and the right general was a little troubled, Wu Yiwu just let him shoot arrows, but only let him use the bow and not let him use arrows, isn't this funny......
Wu Yiyi didn't care about Long Qiaoguang's troubles, he just sat there, staring at the arrow target in the distance in a daze.
Long Qiaoguang looked at Wu Yiwu again, his gaze did not stop anywhere, it seemed to penetrate the arrow target in the distance, looking at another, a place that did not belong here.
β¦β¦
In the palace,
Zhao Zhen finished the recital in the study, and Xiangxiang was already asleep on his lap.
Zhao Zhen stretched out his hand to pick up his daughter, gently patted her out of the study, and walked towards the garden...... When I arrived at the gate of the garden, I heard two maids who came out with tea trays talking in a whisper.
"What is Lord Nangong doing?"
"Daze, huh?"
"Stayed for an hour?"
"It looks so troubled......"
"I think, what's going on, too?"
The two spoke, looked up and saw Zhao Zhen, and hurriedly saluted.
Zhao Zhen smiled slightly, and looked in at the gate of the garden.
Sure enough, I saw Nangong sitting upright on the stone stool, frowning and tilting his head and neck in thought.
Zhao Zhen couldn't help laughing, shook his head, didn't bother him, and went to Concubine Pang in the harem with Xiangxiang.
Zhao Zhen thought as he walked......
Why would a person be loyal to another person? What exactly is loyalty? Giving up for another person's life, easy, and one-...... All at your best!
Obviously, he is a person who is not related by blood, and he has nothing to do with the common people in the world or benevolence and morality, but is simply loyal to a person, so that this loyalty has become a habit, and even the reason for his own life, the only meaning that exists in this world.
It is natural for people to think about themselves, and people don't destroy for themselves...... However, some people can give up themselves completely for the sake of another person, why is that?
Zhao Zhen really wanted to know the answer, he couldn't think of it himself, and the loyal Nangong Ji who was saved in this way, could he give him the answer?
