Chapter 33: The Shadow Fades
The thunder resounded through Chang'an, and the rain did not decrease, but became heavier and heavier.
Xu Buling walked out of Zhang Xiang's mansion in a cloak, not caring about the heavy rain, just thinking about the news that he had just asked.
According to the information obtained so far, the approximate process should be:
In front of Jiazi, the Xiao family secretly hid the lock dragon Gu.
Ten years ago, the Cui family borrowed the lock dragon Gu to kill Zhu Silk Mountain.
Afterwards, Song Ji's dead soldier Yi robbed the lock dragon Gu.
The summer before last, the Lock Dragon Gu disappeared.
In winter, he locked the dragon Gu.
The timeline of the Locking Dragon Gu gradually became complete, and the fog hidden above it became slightly clearer.
First of all, there must be someone behind the deliberate throwing of bait to interfere with the original context of the matter, Jia Yi said that the evidence that handed over the lock dragon Gu to the wolf guard, the corpse of the martyr's mound, and the case library ten years ago seems to be fake, and the purpose is to lure him to the palace.
Secondly, the Lock Dragon Gu had been in the emperor's hands for at least six or seven years.
The emperor knew the news of the dragon lock Gu, maybe it was the wrong means to get it, and it was difficult to explain it, so he didn't say it, but this statement is also doubtful. After all, Neku is in the imperial city, and the chance of losing it is too small, unless there is an internal response in the palace.
It is obviously not the emperor who disturbs the sight and deliberately leads him to the palace, if it is the emperor, just release the real news, there is no need to go to great lengths to fake.
But until now, it has been said that the emperor has nothing to do with the lock dragon Gu at all, and Xu Buling doesn't believe it.
After all, the reason why he came to the capital was that there were rumors that "there is a vassal king plotting for unification" and "the court is preparing to cut the domain".
It's a bit too exciting to fight for such a big situation against him, even if he is killed, it can't change the fact that the Xu family has too much military power and high merit, because King Su is only in his forties, and as long as he wants, he can still give birth to a bunch of sons.
Therefore, the ultimate goal of locking the Dragon Gu on him is most likely to reduce the Xu family's military fiefdom.
It is impossible to cut the feudal domain for no reason, otherwise it will cause resistance from several other vassal kings, and the name is justified.
The justifiable cutting of the feudal domain must have been a mistake made by the Xu family.
If you want the Xu family to make a big mistake that is enough to be cut down, I am afraid that the only way is to rebel.
King Su obviously will not take the initiative to plot a rebellion, it is relatively simple, that is, let him, a martial arts master, bully the prince in the capital.
There was a reason why he deceived the king, so he led all kinds of clues to the Son of Heaven, and sent antidote wine to ensure the recovery of certain martial arts.
After he was cornered and unbearable by the lock dragon Gu, and made a big mistake at the risk of death, the court clicked a knife - cutting the domain.
Xu Buling frowned tightly, checked and checked, although he didn't find out who was behind it, but he finally figured out the purpose of the person behind the scenes. It is only with this purpose that such a large number of things will be messed up.
Knowing the purpose, the way to break the game is simple.
Whether it is the emperor or others, this bureau is set up in order to make him deceive the emperor in desperation, so as to constitute a condition for cutting the feudal domain.
Then he did the opposite, that is, he didn't deceive the king, and even was loyal, his hand was on himself, anyway, now that there was no lock dragon Gu, he didn't believe that he didn't make a mistake, and he honestly studied in Chang'an City, and the court could cut him down on trumped-up charges and cut King Su's domain.
The court really dares to mess up like this, the Seven Kings' Qingjun Side' is not a joke.
Thinking of this, Xu Buling's heart was a little fixed.

The torrential rain slammed down on the hat, bending the edge of the hat. Night Night Chinese
Zhu Manzhi held the hat with both hands, and trotted quickly to Xu Buling's side, at this time far away from Zhang Xiang's mansion, and then his face was full of shocked and adoring twitter:
"Wow, wow, wow, Xu Shizi, you are so powerful, more than a dozen people, it will be gone, more powerful than my father......"
Xu Buling threw the iron sword to Zhu Manzhi, his expression was flat:
"Don't you listen to books every day? With a block of thousands, martial arts, you should be a storyteller? ”
"Hee-hee-"
Zhu Manzhi was a little excited, hung the sword on his waist, his face was red, he thought about it and squeezed under Xu Buling's arm, stood on tiptoe and hooked Xu Buling's shoulder like a good brother, and picked his chin:
"Mr. Storyteller also said that the son bullies men and women, and is a good married woman, is it true?"
“……”
Xu Buling pondered carefully and nodded.
“?”
Zhu Manzhi's small eyebrows furrowed, and he raised his small fist and slammed it on Xu Buling's shoulder: "Xu Gongzi ~ you...... You are not good like this, only those lustful embryos will ruin the innocence of married women, you are so powerful, so handsome, and you are also brilliant and powerful, how can you do that kind of thing......"
Xu Buling shook his head and chuckled, took his little arm off his shoulder, and took his cold little hand:
"Then Miss Zhu thinks, what kind of girl should I like like as a son?"
“……”
Zhu Manzhi's hand was held in the palm of his hand, and he twisted it a little, but he didn't pull it out, so it was like that. frowned and thought for a moment:
"Childe is nineteen this year, and the girl I like should be younger than you, huh...... It's best to go up at the age of fourteen, and you have to be able to read and write, so that you can chat with your son about poetry, and you have to know a little martial arts, so that you can usually feed your son. What do you look like...... Childe is so beautiful, he must not be too ugly, otherwise he will not be a good match......"
Xu Buling took his little hand and walked in the rain, nodding seriously: "I wish the girl a reasonable statement, according to what you said, Ning Qingye is really too suitable, he is a long man who has fallen into the country and the city, knows martial arts, and is also literate and literate, and his age is just ......."
Zhu Manzhi blinked, his face suddenly became a little unhappy, but he didn't dare to show it, lowered his head, and whispered:
"Hmm...... Xiao Ning is a stuffy gourd, and the son doesn't talk much...... Two people who don't talk much get together and panic together, and two people who talk a lot will definitely quarrel together. Childe should find a girl who talks a lot......"
Xu Buling squinted slightly: "Girls who talk a lot, I haven't seen a few." ”
Zhu Manzhi pursed his lips, rolled his eyes and thought about it: "Look for it slowly~ You will always meet ......"
Xu Buling nodded, pulled Zhu Manzhi back to the small courtyard, took off the wet robe in the boudoir, and put the clean robe back on.
Zhu Manzhi lay on the roof for a long time, his clothes were already soaked, but unfortunately the room was not big and there was no screen, so he didn't dare to take it off after hesitating, but just looked at the painting on the wall with a red face.
After Xu Buling was dressed neatly, he put on his hat again, raised his hand and pinched her face:
"I'll go back to the city in a few days, and I'll come back to you when the time comes, your father is so powerful, don't worry, after I leave Chang'an, let's go to the rivers and lakes together to play."
Zhu Manzhi is naturally yearning, but he has just seen Xu Buling's skills, and he is a little embarrassed:
"Childe won't dislike me, right?"
"We are brothers of the opposite sex, how can we dislike you."
Xu Buling chuckled, opened the door and walked out, raising his hand and waving.
Zhu Manzhi watched obediently and skillfully, until Xu Buling's figure disappeared on the courtyard wall, then he grinned and fell on the bed with satisfaction......
