Chapter 124: The Truth Comes Out
After a while, Dr. Tea put the tea and snacks on the table in turn, and said with a smile
"Three guest officers, this is the tea and snacks you just ordered, please use them slowly."
After saying that, he saw Shan Zhuokun nodding to him, so he turned around and retreated.
Shan Zhuokun picked up the teapot and poured tea into the cups in front of the three of them. After putting the teapot back on the table, he lowered his voice and said:
"Uncle, the reason why I want to invite you out of the mountain this time is a very important matter."
Chu Qixiang was just about to pick up the cup and drink tea, but seeing his expression so solemn at this moment, his heart suddenly moved.
Now that the new emperor has just ascended to the throne, although it seems to be calm on the surface, in fact, it has always been turbulent and has never really subsided.
Moreover, Shan Zhuokun has also said that he has now taken over the position of his master and become the new Si Cheng of the Imperial Heavenly Prison. So if you are not mistaken, there is a good chance that this matter has something to do with the imperial court.
"You said that this matter should be related to the imperial court, right?" Chu Qixiang turned the cup with his hand and asked quietly.
Shan Zhuokun showed a look of surprise, nodded and said, "Uncle, you are not only a master of illusion, but this heart guessing technique is also first-class. You are right, this matter is indeed a matter for the imperial court. Although you are in the rivers and lakes, I believe that the news should also be very well-informed, and you should know that the Western Turkic business group will visit Chang'an in a few days, right? ”
"Indeed, I have heard of it." Chu Qixiang told him bluntly.
"In that case, what does the uncle think about this?"
Shan Zhuokun did not directly cut to the point, but continued to go around in circles to listen to the thoughts in the other party's heart.
A smile appeared on Chu Qixiang's lips, it stands to reason that he is just a Jianghu person, and he originally had no say in the affairs of the imperial court, let alone discuss it casually. But since he was asked by the other party today, he also wanted to vomit as soon as possible.
"I'm a mustard, and I shouldn't have copied the hearts of you adults. But since you asked today, I will also share my opinion. Chu Qixiang drank all the tea in the cup and said slowly, "Since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, it has only been dozens of years. But the turmoil has not stopped, and the phenomenon has been repeated. Although the emperor is said to be a wise monarch today, it is a pity that he is still unstable. Although the courtiers are deferential on the surface, in reality they are also lonely and unusable. Therefore, in my opinion, if you really want to do something big, you should still support the emperor more. ”
"Uncle, you're right, it's true." Shan Zhuokun said convincingly, "No wonder my ancestor said that if you are willing to enter the imperial court, you will definitely become the emperor's minister of the humerus." Now it seems that this statement is not false at all. ”
Chu Qixiang waved his hand, his face still extremely indifferent. Back then, he also had a strong enthusiasm for national politics like Shan Zhuokun, believing that as long as he was willing to work hard, he would definitely achieve his ideals. It was also under the trend of this idea that he served as the household commander of the Great Sui.
However, many later facts proved that if you want to understand the governance of the imperial court, you must not only have capable ministers, but also have Ming Jun. Only when the two are perfectly integrated can we truly calm the calamity and sit on the throne.
It is precisely because of this that that period of time is really a shadow of a lifetime for Chu Qixiang, who has an iron bone and a strong heart.
In the face of the stormy government, in order to be able to turn the tide and save the fate of the Great Sui Dynasty. He publicly wrote to the court again and again, advising the emperor. However, in the end, this painstaking effort still came to naught.
Unexpectedly, in the end, this enthusiasm was finally paid in vain. However, it was only overnight that Daxing City was breached, and Emperor Yang Guanglong of Sui returned to the sky and hanged himself on the dragon slaying platform with a white silk, and the other royal family members were also dead, missing and missing, and never knew where to go.
Thinking of the past, Chu Qixiang's eyes couldn't help but be a little confused, and he sighed softly:
"It's not wrong for your ancestor to say this, but now Uncle I have long been tired, in fact, it is also good to be an idle cloud and wild crane away from the red dust, at least I can be calm and no longer worry about those Laoshzi things."
Shan Zhuokun heard him say this, and he really felt a little envious in his heart. He originally hoped that he could live a happy and chic life like the other party, eat when he was hungry, drink when he was thirsty, and when he really had no money, he helped his employer break the evil spirits and catch a ghost to play. Although the ancestor told him in his dream, in the end, who wants to have nothing to do and push himself into the fire to roast?
"Uncle, I think you said it very well, and you are real." Shan Zhuokun praised while using the teapot to refill Chu Qixiang's teacup, "Please ask my uncle to help me with calming down the turmoil." ”
Chu Qixiang took a sip of tea and guessed:
"If I'm not mistaken, this matter should be related to General Shuofang, I don't know, right?"
"Yes." Shan Zhuokun said with a smile, "Uncle, I really made you guess right, I came to you for this matter." ”
Chu Qixiang pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "This matter is not easy to handle." ”
"Why?"
Shan Zhuokun and Yu Chi Baolin were startled at the same time, and said in unison.
"If this Lisa'er is just an ordinary woman, the problem is that she is indeed a merman who is proficient in witchcraft and hates the Tang Emperor to the core."
Shark?!
When Shan Zhuokun heard this word, his body trembled suddenly, and he instantly showed a confused look. I remember that Master once said that although human beings are the most advanced mammals in the world, in fact, whether in space, the deep sea, or deep mountains, there are other creatures that can compete with them in terms of intelligence and physical strength.
And the mermaids mentioned by Uncle Chu just now are humans from the depths of the ocean.
According to sources, the creature was grayish-brown from top to bottom, covered with scales like a fish, and had a flat head that, although similar to that of a human. And this cry is even more eerie, like the cry of a baby.
But the weirdest thing is that it is said that what this merman is best at is to absorb people's souls, and come to the land with the memories of human past lives to repay favors or revenge.
If that's the case, then this Lisa should be one of them.
But who could she be?
"Uncle, my master once told me that this merman is from the ocean, so he has no memories of ordinary humans. It is only after eating a human that some kind of transient hallucination appears. You just said that this Lisa is a merman, so who is she? Shan Zhuokun thought of this and asked without thinking.
Chu Qi sighed with a look of pity:
"You're really to the point, that's true. Speaking of which, this Lisa'er is also a poor person, she was born to Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty and his concubine Xiao, named Yang Lu'er. Because the Xiao family has cultivated immortal enlightenment since her ancestors, she has entered the mountain gate since she was three years old and is not in the palace. It is precisely because of this that when she invaded Daxing City, she escaped from her life and saved her life. But despite this, the mental blow was still huge. In despair, he finally committed suicide by throwing himself into the sea. I think it must have been because she felt wronged in her heart and her soul was not gone, so she signed a life and death contract with the merman, asking her to avenge herself. ”
Chu Qixiang said this, and he couldn't say any more. is the so-called heart-to-heart sympathy, in the face of this troubled world and strife, how many people can be calm in their hearts and will not be disturbed by this repeated waves?
Shan Zhuokun and Yu Chi Baolin looked at Chu Qixiang fixedly, and at this moment, they couldn't help but listen a little stupid. Uncle Chu's words are both like a story and a legend, but when it is really placed in front of him, there is blood and cruelty that he has never experienced.
I don't know how long it took for Shan Zhuokun to say again:
"Uncle, if it is according to you, what should you do next?"
The most important thing at the moment is to find a proper way, which can not only resolve the grievances in Yang Luer's heart, so that she can leave smoothly, but also at the same time relieve the crisis of Datang, so that this matter will not cause an impact between the two clans.
Chu Qixiang pondered for a moment and said: "Actually, it is not difficult to solve this matter, but you and I need to work together, and both are indispensable." ”
"Uncle, if you say that, have you thought of a countermeasure?" Shan Zhuokun asked.
"Hmm." Chu Qixiang nodded, "Let's use the strategy of inviting you into the urn." ”
Give somebody a dose of his own medicine......?!
Shan Zhuokun and Yu Chi Baolin glanced at each other, and both showed surprised expressions.
"Yes, please enter the urn." Chu Qixiang nodded affirmatively.
Soon, under his arrangement, a carefully crafted layout appeared in the minds of the three of them.
If you really want to do this, you have to have someone as a bait to lure Lisa out smoothly. And there is no doubt among these three people, the most suitable person to do this is Yu Chi Baolin.
And after Lisa'er arrived at the predetermined location, Shan Zhuokun and Chu Qixiang would fight together. Let Yang Luer's hatred end, and the soul leaves. Only in this way can this thing be truly accomplished.
"How? Can it be done? After Chu Qixiang finished talking about his plan, he carefully advised, "Remember, be careful in everything, don't startle the snake." ”
Shan Zhuokun and Yu Chi Baolin stood up confidently and praised at the same time. Immediately, the three of them went separately to prepare for the events of the night.
