Chapter 254: The Zhao Clan
As expected by the third prince, after Sheng Zhuohuai received the letter sent by "Gu Yong", he immediately summoned Sheng Wuyu and Sheng Shuiyu, and after Sheng Shuiyu learned that the letter was sent by "Gu Yong", he immediately held a grudge against Gu Yong and wanted to find an opportunity to take revenge on him.
Sheng Shuiyu originally wanted to use that ghost to catch the sleeping fence, but now that his wishful thinking has been overturned, this matter naturally can't be done.
The next day, Sheng Zhuohuai took Sun Xian, a ghost who secretly manipulated skin painting, to Mingluan Hall to see the emperor.
Unexpectedly, Sun Xian was not born a ghost, but a ghost.
The so-called human ghosts are that after the death of human beings, if they do not want to enter the underworld and disappear into the world forever, they can cross the Yellow Spring on the way to the underworld, and at the entrance of the Yellow Spring, drink the awakening ghost soup of the ghosts and children guarding here, and once the soup is drunk, they can transform into ghosts.
In front of the emperor, Sun Xian confessed all the crimes he committed with his skin painting technique, in addition, he also confessed another crime, which was to create the Lingyun Temple case, deliberately let the eldest princess be smashed by the beam of the house, forced Mian Liang to donate blood, and tried to expose his true identity through blood.
When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but let out a cold snort: "You are not small, not only did you almost kill the princess, but you also almost killed me!"
What the emperor said was naturally that Sun Xian used skin painting to drive Ji'an to break into the emperor's bedroom and assassinate him that night.
Sun Xian knelt on the ground and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, everything the slave did was to reveal the true identity of the sleeping fence is the moon fence, and the slave made the crime of disrespect to the royal family, and the slave is willing to apologize with death, but before His Majesty gives the slave death, will he let the slave fulfill his wish?"
"What?" the Emperor asked.
Sun Xian's eyes instantly bloomed with a fierce killing intent: "Let the slave see the moon fence die with his own eyes, and his soul will be scattered!"
"Why do you have so much hatred for that moon fence?" the Emperor asked him.
Sun Xian paused, and did not say in too much detail, but only said generally: "The slave and the moon fence have a deep enmity in the sea of blood. ”
The emperor didn't ask in detail, just nodded.
"You have wasted the lives of me and the eldest princess, and you have caused countless disasters between the clan, this incident is indeed enough for you to lose your head hundreds of times, but what you have done is still in line with my heart, so I will not bother with you for the time being, but if you can continue to do something that makes me more desirable, I may consider sparing you from death. ”
Sun Xian was grateful, and said without thinking about it: "Thank you, Your Majesty, the slave will not disgrace his mission!"
"Your skin painting technique, but you learned it from the "Ghost Search Record"?" Sheng Zhuohuai on the side suddenly asked Sun Xiandao.
Sun Xian was stunned: "...... Be. ”
"The only people who can enter the library of the Ghost Courtyard are the clans. Qiu Lingshuang said coldly.
"The slave was indeed from a clan before his death. ”
"Which clan?" Sheng Zhuohuai asked.
Sun Xian hesitated and replied, "...... It is a small clan more than 600 years ago, the Zhao clan. ”
"Zhao clan?" the emperor thought desperately in his mind.
"I've only heard that among the five major clans that were almost completely wiped out by the Moon Fence more than six hundred years ago, there is one Zhao clan, could it be that it has something to do with you?"
Sun Xian's eyes flashed slightly, and he replied: "This branch of the slave is a side branch, and there are some distant relatives. ”
The suspicion on Sheng Zhuohuai's face faded, and he muttered, "I think it's indeed a small clan. ”
"Yes, the clansmen are weak and not popular enough, so the Manchus will be devoured by the moon fence. Sun Xian's eyes were sad.
The emperor also pretended to empathize with a sad expression: "It turned out to be the revenge of the extermination of the clan, and this revenge has indeed been avenged." ”
After that, an attendant came to report that Mr. Su asked to see him, and the emperor was overjoyed, and immediately asked the attendant to welcome Mr. Su in quickly.
Sun Xian was on the side, silently watching this scene, and his heart was filled with thoughts.
Soon, Su Qian came into the hall.
The purpose of his coming here was no different from the other people in the hall, all of them wanted to meet this mysterious ghost who had brought everyone in Yin'an around the world.
Sun Xian continued his confession just now, and he talked about the consciousness of the moon fence in the picture of the beauty under the moon.
He was also listening to Sheng Shuiyu very carefully at this time, just because that touch of the consciousness of the moon fence was deliberately released by him from the behemoth that was imprisoned in the private prison of the Sheng Mansion.
No one knew about it but himself.
His purpose was originally to lure Sun Xian to appear, and then he did as Gu Yong and the third prince expected, and used this clue to find Sun Xian's haunt step by step, but he didn't want to go to the last moment, because a letter from "Gu Yong" was broken.
He was still deeply puzzled by how Gu Yong found Sun Xian's traces.
And Sheng Shuiyu's series of actions, Sun Xian was completely unaware, he just found the consciousness of the moon fence wandering around by chance, and the heart said God help me, and immediately made a picture of a beauty under the moon, and then injected that consciousness into the moon fence in the painting, and then used it to deal with the sleeping fence.
Sun Xian explained this matter clearly in front of the emperor, Sheng Zhuohuai and others.
In the end, the emperor ended the meeting with a sentence of "you do have some ability".
Next, he continued to deal with the matter of sleeping fences, because he had seen Sun Xian's ability, and the emperor and Sheng Zhuohuai both advocated that Sun Xian should continue to act.
And Sun Xian proposed to let Su Qian give advice from the side and help one or two, the emperor agreed on the spot, and immediately sent someone to send a message back to Yanfu, asking Yan Qiyuan not to meddle in things.
In this way, the alliance between Sun Xian and Su Qian surfaced from the ground.
That's right, the two of them had already colluded before, and they had already known each other, Su Qian had participated in what Sun Xian had done before, and Sun Xian had not been left behind in Su Qian's participation.
In front of the palace, in front of the emperor and others, the two of them just made a play.
Actually, they have another secret besides that......
"Patriarch, why don't you just tell them that the clan to which the two of us belong is the Zhao clan of the five major clans more than six hundred years ago?"
Su Qian called Sun Xian the patriarch, and that was because they belonged to the same clan "Zhao clan"!
And Sun Xian was the patriarch of the Zhao clan, one of the five major clans at that time, more than 600 years ago.
After Sun Xian was killed by Yuefen, he was unwilling to end up like this, so he led a part of the clansmen who volunteered to turn into ghosts, drank the ghost awakening soup at the entrance of the Yellow Spring, and became a human ghost.
For more than 600 years after that, they had been concentrating on cultivating spells, preparing for the attack, and finally in Lingyun Temple, they launched a revenge against the Moon Fence that spanned more than 600 years.
And Sun Xian is the surviving Zhao bloodline passed down from generation to generation.
In order not to arouse too much suspicion from others, Sun Xian deliberately changed his surname.
And Su Qian fell into an ordinary family, the Su family, and took the surname "Su".
Sun Xian answered Su Qian's question as he walked: "After all, the Zhao clan was attached to the Xiang clan back then, and it may not be a good thing to say too much. ”
Su Qian thought for a while: "Indeed, it is too much, especially since the royal family is now with the Xiang clan in this situation, or the patriarch is thoughtful." ”
Sun Xian: "We have finally survived to this point, and we must be more cautious step by step." ”
"You're being cautious enough. Suddenly, a female voice sounded in front of him.
Sun Xian and Su Qian's eyes looked in the direction of the sound with alert eyes.
