Fortunately, the timely rain was able to resolve the crisis, otherwise, half of Julong City would be destroyed in one fell swoop. Fortunately, the casualties that day were all royal soldiers and a small number of civilians. In order to calm the panic and maintain the stability of the whole city, the emperor declared to the outside world that what happened that night was 'auspicious from heaven', indicating that this year, Li Sang's fortune was like fire, and the wind and rain were smooth. ”

Hearing this, she couldn't help but feel uneasy, and Bai Bait asked incredulously: "Who is that old man?" Why did he assassinate the Emperor and destroy the Dragon City? ”

"The old man's name is unknown, and everyone calls him 'Che Lao'. Che Lao is not a member of the Lisang's enemy, but fled to Lisan in his early years. At that time, it was said that Che Lao lived in Lisang as a foreigner but was excluded and suppressed by the local people, and Che Lao gradually had the idea of revenge because he could not bear racial discrimination. There is also a more direct theory that Cha Lao actually suffers from severe hysteria, which is why he did something shocking. ”

After listening to Ji Qingyun's words, Bai Bait couldn't understand in her heart, since she could remember, her impression of Li Sang has always been that she is tolerant of all rivers, good neighbors and friendly, and has many enlightened and harmonious policies towards the aliens living in Li Sang......

"So, those devastating methods are all from Che Lao, now, we just need to find Che Lao and stop him from repeating his old tricks?"

Jiang Li analyzed, thinking that the old man would not succeed once, and it was unknown if he would make a comeback in four years.

"Nope." Ji Qingyun shook his head and said heavily: "That old man is long gone. After the emperor learned the truth, he was furious at first, ordered a nationwide investigation of cases of discrimination against foreign races, and strengthened the acceptance of foreign people, and increasingly relaxed the policy of foreign entry, and later the emperor blamed himself for the old Che, and even was bedridden for three days, and hundreds of officials shouted in the Golden Palace every day to severely punish the murderers, and the monarch had no choice but to give the old car to death! ”

"Since Che Lao is dead, what is the relationship between the 'auspicious fortune from heaven' and the ultimate gift that Prince Li Sang said and Che Lao?" White Bait couldn't help but ask.

Ji Qingyun's brows furrowed even tighter, and he said, "This is also what I am confused about. When the prince said 'auspicious rain from the sky', I guessed that the prince should have wanted to destroy the entire Yuhuatai by blasting during the ceremony, so as to kill the Mocang royal family and kill the wind people. As for how to do it, he did not disclose half a point. ”

"This Prince Lisan is crazy! I see, he's also suffering from hysteria! He slammed his fist on the table, angry and angry.

"However, I remember that the person who tried Che Lao's case at that time was the crown prince, and he was in charge of the Julong City Shangyuan Lantern Festival that year." Ji Qingyun suddenly remembered.

Hearing this, Jiang Li couldn't help but sneer: "So, when Prince Li Sang was trying Che Lao, he accidentally contracted Che Lao's hysteria?" Now it has reached the point where there is no cure! ”

"Of course not!" She glanced at Jiang Li, who was half angry and half happy, then looked at Ji Qingyun, and said seriously: "I think it is very likely that when Prince Li Sang was trying the case of Che Lao, he secretly knew a series of explosive methods such as fireworks and blessing beads, and now he wants to follow the same method as Che Lao!" ”

In this way, the owner of the Tibetan courtyard that the strong man who died said was Prince Lisang.

Jiang Li thought about it, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly said: "If Prince Li Sang really wants to follow the original method, the ten blessing beads and fireworks are the key!" ”

Bai Bait pondered for a moment, and felt that it was not unreasonable, "In such a short period of time, it is absolutely impossible to find ten of the thousand blessing beads that will really explode!" Since we can't exclude Fuzhu, then we can only exclude fireworks. What we need to do now is to stop the fireworks from going off at the beginning of the festival! ”

Jiang Li glanced at Bai Bait with conviction, and then looked at Ji Qingyun with her, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

It can be seen that the moment Ji Qingyun shook his head, the bright color dimmed again in an instant.

"Why is that?" White Bait asked.

"The fireworks are the highlight of this ceremony, and if I decide to remove the fireworks at the last minute, the other people I work with will definitely not agree. For them, if something goes wrong in this link, they will definitely die in front of the Mocang Sovereign. Ji Qingyun explained.

Hearing this, Jiang Li couldn't help but smile calmly: "Since Ming can't come, then let's play Yin!" ”

didn't understand the meaning of leaving, Ji Qingyun just said worriedly: "What if this matter accidentally arouses the suspicion of the wind people?" Emperor Mocang will inevitably raise his vigilance......"

If Emperor Mocang sensed something, those established plans would definitely be affected.

"Lao Ji, you don't have to worry about this, we have our own way!" Will leave the self-confidence road.

Ji Qingyun raised his eyes and stared outside the pavilion, the atmosphere of the night became lighter and lighter......

After leaving the Dark Pavilion, Jiang Li and Bai Bait were divided into separate jobs, and each took two elites selected by Ji Qingyun to go in different directions.

"What are we going to do now?" The two soldiers followed behind the general, and couldn't help but ask.

"You don't have to follow me." Jiang Li stopped and said, seeing that the two soldiers were a little sleepy, he thought about it for a while, and said, "However, since Lao Ji lent you to me, I have to use it...... I want you to secretly follow the girl named White Bait, and if there is any situation, you must come and tell me! ”

The two soldiers looked at each other, then complied.

Seeing the two of them going in reverse, Jiang Li turned back with peace of mind.

Standing in the corner of Buzhou Pavilion, his elite gaze swept all the way across the long corridor in the south and flew to the attic opposite, the Cool Breeze Pavilion.

"Cool Breeze Pavilion, located in the southwest direction of Yuhuatai, and the north of the Buzhou Pavilion, by an air corridor, that is, the long corridor, connected, want to enter this pavilion, must pay a piece of gold, therefore, the pavilion is mostly the local rich and wealthy. Buzhou Pavilion, located in the northwest direction of Yuhuatai, is mostly foreign envoys and distinguished guests from afar. The fireworks are stored on the top floor of the two pavilions, the dark room on the third floor, and the top of which is also guarded by the wind man, who will not be evacuated until the ceremony begins. ”

Two attics are green tiles, the eaves are pecked high, there are corridors on all sides, the railings are numerous, visitors can wait and see by the railing, its structure is also an open structure, it is not difficult to enter the pavilion and climb to the top.

Jiang Li studied while reminiscing, and after deciding on a plan to enter the cabinet, he immediately turned into the crowd.

His feet were walking quickly, but his clothes were suddenly grabbed by something.

He stopped and turned around.

How is her again!

Goodbye Zhuge Xiuxiu, she was already embarrassed, her bun was a little loose, and even the tassels on the hairpin were gone.

She gasped for air, not forgetting to look behind her from time to time, her face full of haste.

"Why are you again!" After seeing this, he threw a cold look at her and decided to turn his head and continue on his way.

Unexpectedly, Zhuge Xiuxiu pulled him tighter, looked at him pitifully, and read: "Meow meow meow ......"

"Loosen with me!"

"Ahh......h

"Release!"

"Ahh......h

After pestering, Jiang Li completely lost his patience, raised his slap, and decided to stun her.

Convenient!

See the slap, like the end of the world!

Zhuge Xiuxiu's eyes suddenly raised, and he immediately shouted: "Slow!" ”

Hearing the sound, the original form is finally revealed......

Her heartbeat skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but raise her finger to cover her lips, and her eyes slowly fell, revealing a trace of panic.

This voice scared even herself.

Jiang Li put away her slap, and with a cold snort in her heart, her warning eyes swept away on her gloomy look.

"Childe!"

Seeing that he wanted to leave, Zhuge Xiuxiu immediately knelt under him, and before he could speak, his eyes were already red.

"My name is Zhuge Xiuxiu, and I am the second lady of Zhuge Mansion in Qingning Fang, Zhuque Street. Fang Cai did not mean to wronged his son, and he did not intend to deceive. ”

She suddenly revealed the inside story, but taught him a little curiosity.

Seeing that the child's eyes gradually hesitated, Zhuge Xiuxiu then said: "My parents died early, leaving only Wanguan family wealth and me, my brother, half a year ago, just because my brother died of illness, the eldest sister-in-law Yan and her brother Long San, deceived me to be young and ignorant, and began to secretly plot to occupy the family property of my Zhuge Mansion. Yesterday, I secretly overheard the conversation between my big girl and the Yan family, and I realized that they were going to harm me in the Yuhuatai design today! Please help me, Childe! ”

She finished talking with tears in her eyes, and when she saw that her son was suspicious, she couldn't help but roll up her sleeves frantically......

Several long scars were revealed.

"A few days ago, when my big maid was pouring tea for me, she deliberately spilled hot tea on me, which left a scar. Not only that, but several mothers-in-law entrusted fake doctors to force me to drink medicine every day under the pretext of illness, and this unhealthy tooth mouth was caused by the medicine......"

She finished silently, and her green shirt was wet.

Seeing the scars and miserable words, he didn't have any scheming. The corners of his lips were finally loosened: "Since you have escaped from their sight under the guise of me, why are you pestering me when you flee in one go?" ”

"No, I can't escape!" Zhuge Xiuxiu wiped the tears from her eyes, sniffed, and said in a hoarse voice: "Even if I escape, they will arrest me back, once they are caught back, they will have more reason to torture me, and at that time, I will only be tortured to death by them!" ”

She temporarily suppressed her sad emotions, moved her knees close to him, pulled the corners of his clothes, and begged: "Son, you are good, let me follow you, I came out looking for cats, I will not be caught by them, close to you, they will not find a chance to harm me today!" ”

"Yuhuatai is so big, why are you looking for me alone?" Jiang Li said helplessly.

"I just saw Gongzi in the Cool Breeze Pavilion awe-inspiring to catch the thief and retrieve the silver taels, and I knew that Gongzi was extraordinary and a chivalrous person...... I hope that the chivalrous heart of the son will share me and save me! Zhuge Xiuxiu pleaded endlessly.

Hearing this, Jiang couldn't help but sneer, "I'm not a chivalrous person!" Today, everyone in Yuhuatai is in danger, every step is dangerous, hundreds of people, how can I be saved! ”

He raised his arm, withdrew his sleeve from her hand, raised his eyebrows, and said, "I still have important things to do, so don't leave it at that!" ”

"Wait!" Zhuge Xiuxiu held the dress in her hand, got up slowly, and raised her eyes again, her eyes were already dry, and there was no expression on her face, she just said calmly: "Since the son has no time to care about each other, I won't say anything more." It's just this way, where the son goes, I will go, you do your business, I will find my cat. Don't worry, Childe, I will never get in the way of Childe. I privately think that instead of being aimless, it is better to follow a path, and maybe there will be gains. ”

was speechless by Zhuge Xiuxiu, and Jiang Li suddenly didn't know how to speak, and his face revealed a trace of helplessness.

"Second Miss—Second Miss—"

Hearing this, he couldn't help but raise his head and glance at the crowd, and the smiling tigers in her mouth seemed to be catching up......

Suddenly, hearing the voices of the mother-in-law and the little maid gradually approaching, Zhuge Xiuxiu immediately looked at the son-in-law and said anxiously: "Childe! Come on! Walk ......"

Obviously, he was in a hurry to leave, but now he was urged by her.

Jiang Li tightened his brows, only to feel that he was so contradictory, his eyebrows swept away, and he decided not to look at her anymore, but just spread his legs by himself.

Standing on the Mingshu corridor, she looked left and right, and saw two majestic attics rising from the ground.

Rongfeng Pavilion, located in the northeast of Yuhuatai, and the Qingming Pavilion in the south, by an air corridor, that is, the Mingshu Corridor, connected, the pavilion is mostly a hundred officials in the court, and idle people are not allowed to approach. Qingming Pavilion, located in the southeast direction of Yuhuatai, is mostly the family members of the nobles and hundreds of officials in Beijing. The location of the fireworks is the same as the other two opposite attics. ”

Bai Bait thought about it while recalling, and when he made up his mind, he asked the two soldiers who accompanied him to tell him......

The soldiers immediately left the corridor and dispersed towards the Rongfeng Pavilion and the Qingming Pavilion respectively.

Just as she was about to evacuate the corridor, she suddenly realized that something was not right......

The strong man in the courtyard of western Tibet chose to take the initiative to send it to her knife, but why did he reveal the secret of Fuzhu?

It stands to reason that he knew that it was no longer possible to escape, so he chose to commit suicide in order not to expose the secret of "auspicious fortune from heaven", but on the contrary, before he committed suicide, he exposed a large number of clues...... Wouldn't that be even more detrimental to their plans?

Could it be that he did it on purpose?

Thinking of this, she suddenly became uneasy in her heart, afraid of it, there was fraud in this!

She tightened her palms, and there was thought in her eyes, she felt that she should go and inform her that she was leaving! It shouldn't be that simple, and there must be a bigger game in it......

Just as she was about to leave the corridor, her gaze swept casually under the covered bridge, a familiar face, ghostly, drifted by in a slightly empty space......

A strong man who died in the corner!

That face suddenly flashed in her mind!

Wrong!

Isn't he dead? Die under her clumsiness!

So who was that guy just now?

In the afterglow, the man was hidden in the crowd, his steps kept increasing, and she immediately stepped nervously and kept moving forward along the corridor!

Seeing that the man was about to disappear from her vision, her sure eyes swept over the railing, and she leapt forward, disappearing into the night sky in an instant, leaving behind the hustle and bustle......

The gray clouds and mist have disappeared from the morning star on the horizon, the mountains around the river are black, and the outlines of tree trunks can be faintly seen, and occasionally the shadows of a few night owls pass silently across the river.

A few willow oars gently lapped the icy river water, and the sound of Qing Lingling was clear.

In the hazy mist, with a faint glimmer of firelight, the silhouette of an old man loomed over the causeway.

A worn-out white lantern in his hand, accompanied by a few hoarse voices, was torn and swayed by the wind......

"Xi Bao'er! I'm home—"

"Xi Bao'er! It's dark, come back......"
