Chapter 59: Things Begin to Move in Strange Directions...... (24/88)
After Xu Buling accompanied Mrs. Lu to dinner, he went to the Xiao family's mansion in front of him, and found the file of Jiazi Qianping Qi Baiyue from the study building of the Xiao Mansion.
The Xiao family has worshiped the prime minister for generations, and the records in the library must be detailed, and the price is that there are too many files. After many years of fighting in the south and north until entering Chang'an, it is difficult to count how many large and small battles have been fought, as well as the rationing of baggage, recruitment and scheduling, post-war resettlement, etc., how many files can be imagined.
Xu Buling's scalp was numb after just a glance, it was definitely impossible to soak in the library and look for it slowly, so he said hello to the Xiao family, and called the palace guards to carry the two big boxes back to the palace. The dispatch of troops in history is not a secret, it is the information for the children of the Xiao family to consult, and the Jiangmen family basically has it, so the Xiao family naturally didn't say anything, just remember it.
At twilight, candles burned in the study of King Su's mansion, and a sword and a sword shone sharply on the carved tiger orchid.
Xu Buling sat on the ground beside the piles of books, and Lao Xiao and several dead soldiers of the palace were similar, frowning through the books placed on the ground and looking carefully.
Lao Xiao took the dossier, licked his fingers and turned over the page, and said with some suspicion: "Little Wangye, Miss Ning is also kind, but this method of detoxification is a bit suspenseful." If you want to say that drinking human blood and using human flesh as medicine, this is in harmony with the yin and yang of Gu cultivators until the essence is discharged......"
Xu Buling's face was also full of strangeness, and he shook his head with the dossier and said, "Hmm...... Poisonous Gu is already mysterious, and few people even know the method of raising Gu, so you have to give it a try......"
Lao Xiao smashed his mouth and pondered for a while: "It's not impossible to give it a try, but if the Gu cultivator is a man, or seventy or eighty, the little prince is afraid that he can't lift a gun...... But men, as long as they hate it, they don't care about men, women, and children......"
"Stop!"
Xu Buling had goosebumps all over his body, frowned and said, "According to Miss Ning, as long as you have the same bloodline as the Gu cultivator......
"If a Gu raiser has no father, no mother, no wife and no children, he is still a eunuch......"
"Hahaha......"
The palace guards who were not smiling around were also a little unable to hold back their laughter.
Xu Buling's face was full of black lines, and he snorted lightly:
"If that's the case, my life is almost gone, what can I do but endure it?"
Lao Xiao shook his head and said with a frown: "This essence is a Gu cultivator, not the prince who stabbed him, it was he who ......."
"Shhhh
Xu Buling raised his hand, stopped Lao Xiao, who was not serious in his mouth, and pondered a little:
"If the other party is a eunuch, wouldn't it be a dead end?"
"No, it's a man who still has a chance......"
Xu Buling threw the book on the ground and rubbed his forehead:
"Forget it if it's dead, don't look for it......"
Lao Xiao shrugged his shoulders: "Lao Xiao, I also plan for the worst, how can it be such a coincidence, there are always ...... relatives without daughters"
Babbling, rummaging.
Because of the search target of 'Hundred Worm Valley', the scope was narrowed down a lot, and when the sun set, the boss of the guards moved, got up from the ground and walked to Xu Buling's side and squatted down, pointing to a page in the book:
"Little prince, I found it."
Xu Buling was having a nightmare, and took the book over with some confusion, but before he could read it carefully, a name came into view:
"Xiao Ying?!"
Lao Xiao was stunned when he heard this, and leaned over to look at it a few times: "Yo~ It's really the old master of the Huainan Xiao family...... That's not a good news......"
Xu Buling's face sank, and he picked up the book and carefully checked the record.
Because the Valley of Hundred Worms is just an evil force on the rivers and lakes, and it is summarized with other cottages and bandit houses, it is probably that Xu Lie led his troops south to Ping Baiyue before Jiazi, and the military advisor at that time was Xiao Ying, that is, the grandfather of Xiao Chuyang, the prime minister of the dynasty.
It is precisely because Xiao Ying, who is known as the 'Unparalleled Warrior', made great contributions in the battle of Dayue Pingtianxia that the status of the Xiao family in Huainan soared to the sky and became the head of the family of Dayue, and even the Lu family was one notch behind.
However, the fight against South Vietnam was the beginning of Da Yue's army, and Xiao Ying's status was not as detached as after the peace of the world, and he was just an ordinary military advisor to give advice to Xu Lie at that time.
After the army fought South Vietnam, bandits were rampant in the mountains and wilderness, and after occupying Chengchi counties and counties, they had to hold on to appease the people and resume farming. Xiao Ying is in charge of this aspect, with soldiers and horses to clean up the bandit house forces in the mountains and wilderness, because many soldiers were mutilated by poison, the imperial court hated this aspect very much, and basically slaughtered the evil sects that raised Gu and made drugs, and it was at that time that the Valley of Hundred Worms was wiped out.
After reading these records, Lao Xiao frowned and thought for a moment:
"King Lao Su is the commander of the army, it is precisely because of the ironclad heart in the army that the war is like a bamboo, and at that time, from top to bottom, he was basically obedient to King Lao Su......
…… King Laosu was loyal to Emperor Xiaozong, and at that time, Emperor Xiaozong ordered to clean up the evil sects in the mountains and fields, especially the cultivation of Gu and harmful people. With the temperament of King Lao Su, no living person will be kept, let alone let people hide it privately......
…… If the Lock Dragon Gu was secretly hidden at that time, although it was just a trivial matter, it was impossible for us to record it at all, then ......"
Xu Buling put down the book and frowned: "The army is full of my grandfather's eyes and ears, who can disobey the military order and take the poison Gu privately, and can not be discovered, there are few in the army, if the lock dragon Gu was really brought back secretly at some time, there is no one else except Xiao Ying." ”
"Hmmm......"
Lao Xiao Mo held his cane, his face became a little serious, and he recalled:
"Huainan Xiao is good at gossip, and he also has a lot of knowledge of all kinds of strange and obscene skills, which has been known for hundreds of years. Although the Lock Dragon Gu is domineering and vicious, it is indeed a unique masterpiece in the world, and no one has been able to raise a more powerful poisonous Gu so far...... With the consistent style of the Xiao family, it is not impossible to be reluctant to let such objects disappear from the world, and to keep them privately......
…… But what did the Xiao family do to poison the little prince? The family gate valve has always been the grass on the wall, it will be the icing on the cake and the stone, but it will never be the first bird, King Su has the capital to raise troops, according to their style of acting, they will only win over and will not make enemies to ......"
Xu Buling was also puzzled here, and thought about it carefully: "It is impossible for the Xiao family to poison me, the Xiao family is already transcendent in the world, and just the owner of the family business can inherit the incense for thousands of years." And as soon as my father died, the king raised an army, and the world of Chang'an changed hands, and the Huainan Xiao clan was gone...... And even if the Xiao family does it, it can't be a holy order, in case the Xiao family uses this as a vote to change the court, and the sentence 'After the Son of Heaven slaughtered the meritorious service', the Song family may be ......gone."
Lao Xiao nodded: "Then this news is not allowed, maybe the lock dragon Gu on the little prince was obtained from elsewhere, not from the Hundred Worm Valley." ”
Xu Buling pondered for a long time and shook his head: "The wolf guard who died violently is undoubtedly the middle lock dragon Gu, the poisonous Gu must have been transmitted from the imperial court, and it is the most likely to get the lock dragon Gu from the Hundred Worm Valley, no matter what, you have to check it." ”
Lao Xiao stretched out his hand: "How can I check this?" The little prince was very involved in the lock dragon Gu, and even Mrs. Lu, the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, didn't know about such secret matters, and the few people in the world who knew it were estimated that the Xiao family's descendants couldn't ask Xiao Xiang if he had hidden the lock dragon Gu, and the guards of the Xiao Mansion were not much worse than the imperial city. ”
Xu Buling rubbed his fingers and hesitated for a moment:
"The descendants of the Xiao family...... Xiao Ting? ”
“……”
Lao Xiao smashed his mouth, looking like 'the little prince is not lightly ill'.
Xu Buling also knew that it was impossible, if Xiao Ting's big mouth could know the secrets of the Xiao clan in Huainan, the Xiao clan would have been gone a long time ago.
"The incense of the Xiao family has withered over the years, and after Aunt Lu's husband died early, the eldest son died directly, and the second son Xiao Chuyang took the lead, and there are only a few people left in the Xiao family...... The descendants of the Xiao family who stayed in Chang'an City, apart from Xiao Xiang and Xiao Ting, only the Queen Mother remained...... Queen Mother ......"
Xu Buling said this, touched his chin, and looked in the direction of the imperial city.
Lao Xiao pondered: "I'm afraid I can only do it from the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is a woman, and it is unlikely that she will know about this, but I can talk to Xiao Xiang." ”
“……”
Xu Buling's face became tangled, he only offended the Queen Mother a few days ago, and now it seems a little unrealistic to run to ask this.
Moreover, if the lock dragon Gu is really from the Xiao family, maybe the queen mother will have to be ...... Well...... It's about bullying to the point of rolling your eyes......
"Shhhh
Xu Buling rubbed his forehead, stood up and walked a few times, looked in the direction of the imperial city again, and finally muttered secretly:
My life is almost gone, so what do you do with so much......
