Chapter 22
"Maybe two people made some kind of deal."
That's right, it's the same as Ruoxi thought.
The heart of the king is clearly revealed. He cooperated with Nangong Ling, but I was afraid that the two had reached a consensus.
Ruoxi was just curious about how Nangong Ling persuaded King Cheng. Isn't he afraid to become a king and expose his identity?
"Master, it's just that Lord Cheng wants to tell you about this? Isn't this self-defeating? β
Ruoxi sneered, King Cheng is not stupid, I am afraid that they have already discussed it. As for whether King Cheng has other intentions, it is not known.
"Mo Ze, you will bring twenty more secret guards immediately......"
Listen to the banquet of the rain pavilion, and go to the appointment as scheduled.
In addition to King Cheng, there are also ministers in the court, and it seems that they should all be people under King Cheng.
"I've seen the prince."
If she sat down quietly, she wanted to see what the king wanted.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have summoned you here today because I have an important matter to discuss. Xuan Ming, show this secret report to all the adults. β
The secret report that Nangong Cheng said was actually about Nangong Ling's life experience.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's not that this king is suspicious, it's just that this matter is about the royal bloodline after all. Therefore, the king sent someone to Yuzhou to find the midwife who delivered the baby for Princess Yu that year. β
I don't know if it's real or pretended, these people are all looking at each other with an expression of disbelief.
"Dare to ask the prince, where is this midwife now?"
King Cheng sighed.
"It's a pity that the midwife was just found, and she was killed and died."
"What? How so? β
"yes, how can it be so coincidental?"
"It seems that what these secret reports say is indeed true."
According to the secret guarantee provided by King Cheng, the King Ling in the palace should be the prince of Xichen.
This was something Ruoxi didn't expect.
An official asked tremblingly: "Lord Wang, is this secret report credible?" β
"Credible. This secret report is from the dark group. Without waiting for Nangong Cheng to answer, Ruoxi will help him answer first.
Although these people don't know that Ruoxi is also from the dark group, but the Red Flame Army marches to fight, and part of the spy information they need comes from the dark group, so the two sides can be regarded as working closely together. Whether it is true or not, if it is self-reliant, it can be distinguished.
General Anping said so, then it can't be faked.
"So, this, how should this be?"
"Yes, yes, what do you think?"
"The lower officials listen to the king's dispatch."
"The same is true for Xiaguan."
"The ministers listen to the king's dispatch."
Ruoxi looked at these ministers who had expressed their positions with a smile. It can't be hidden so quickly.
Today's play is specially sung for himself, and King Cheng has also taken great pains.
"Lord Wang, Ruoxi also obeys the orders of the prince." Ling Ruoxi's statement so quickly was beyond Nangong Cheng's expectations.
"Father, will Ling Ruoxi ......" Nangong Xuanming was worried that Ling Ruoxi would do bad things. After all, Ling Ruoxi is really elusive.
"Do you think that with Ling Ruoxi's temperament, can you endure the revenge of killing your father?"
"I can't." Ling Ruoxi's fiancΓ© died on the battlefield, and in order to take revenge, she took the Red Flame Army and almost slaughtered the city; Her master Qingzhi was killed by mountain bandits, she fought for a day and a night with one sword and one sword, like a bloody Shura, it is said that there is no living mouth.
Loyal? If Ling Ruoxi knew that the person he was loyal to was his father-killing enemy, then this play would be wonderful.
What Ruoxi was holding tightly in her hand was the jade pendant that King Cheng had just given her when he deliberately retreated.
This jade pendant, she has seen. When my mother was alive, she always hung on her waist and never left her body. The jade pendant was engraved with the mother's surname "Ling".
And the one in her hand is obviously a pair of her mother's jade pendant, but the engraved one is "Oriental".
When I was a child, whenever I asked my father, I would always provoke my mother to reprimand me.
Later, when I grew up, I stopped asking. Because she found that whenever she mentioned her father, there was always an indelible sorrow and sadness between her mother's eyebrows.
Ruoxi did not go home, but turned the corner and went to a deserted house in Xicheng.
The house has been abandoned for too long.
The plaque hung crookedly on the door, as if it was about to fall off the next moment. The three words "Oriental Mansion" are faint and faintly recognizable.
It is said that there was a bloody crime in this house more than 20 years ago, and all the doors were killed, and not a single person was left alive. It's because the people around here have long been emptied, and usually there are not many people walking on this street.
As soon as I entered the door, I was choked by the dust that was stirred up. The Oriental family has been in business for several generations, and the family has a rich background, which can be said to be a rich country. No, it ended up like this.
After many years, it seems that the breath of blood killing has not yet dissipated.
At that time, the emperor was still on the throne, and he was grateful for the support of the Dongfang family to the imperial court, and buried his people. After so many years, it is clear that no one has set foot in this house again, and many places are still the same as they were back then.
"Your father is the young master of the Dongfang family. With your mother, you are a talented and beautiful woman, and you are in love. β
"It's a pity, God's trick. Today, in order to win over the military power in the hands of your mother, the saint actually asked the emperor to grant marriage. General Ling was strong, unwilling to part with the young master of Dongfang, and unwilling to involve the Ling family, so in a hurry, he had a husband and wife ceremony with Dongfang. β
"Nangong Chen was furious, and he actually beheaded the Dongfang clan, and there was not a single living mouth."
Nangong Cheng's words are still in my ears.
Ruoxi seemed to push open the door with a clear purpose.
In the eye, it is the portrait she is most familiar with.
Carefully wipe off the dust on the painting, and a line of small words next to it can be vaguely seen: Xiao looks at the sky and looks at the clouds at dusk, and thinks about you when you walk, and thinks about you when you sit.
The portrait hanging in the Oriental Sacrifice Room is none other than Ling Ruoxi's mother, Ling Yunsi.
The woman in this painting also has the jade pendant hanging on her waist.
The next day, Chengwangfu received a secret letter from Ruoxi, with few words.
"The forbidden army adjusted its deployment and sent more men and horses to escort it."
As King Cheng expected.
"Xuan Ming, it's time to do it."
γ Luo Shuihua, no, it should be said that it was Nangong Shuihua, and he hurried all the way to the capital.
Lin Feixue did live in seclusion in Yuzhou back then, and single-handedly founded Luoxue Pavilion. From the day Luoxue Pavilion was involved in this battle, Luo Shuihua realized that his identity might have been revealed.
Before he could find out what was going on, the news of the discovery of the son of the Feather King spread all over the world.
Luo Shuihua was shocked, but also worried about the emperor's safety, so he returned to Beijing with Mo Ze.
It wasn't until Ruoxi said that King Ling held the token of the former princess in his hand that Luo Shuihua was shocked to realize that the jade pendant in his hand had been dropped.
The assassination of the crowd at the temple outside the city that day was not a simple assassination. Rather, they were deliberately lured out of the cabinet to facilitate their hands.
Luo Shuihua also suspected it at the time, but he saw that the secret compartment where the jade pendant was stored was intact and he didn't check it carefully, but he didn't want to be taken advantage of.
Although Luo Shuihua has no intention of taking the throne, he can't see that the royal blood is not pure, and he is even more worried that someone will be unfavorable to the emperor and Liguo. So I felt that I would go back to Yuzhou to get my mother's saber and handwritten letter.
Fortunately, his mother told him to keep these things away, and he kept them separately, so that they were not stolen by thieves.
With these things, you will be able to reveal the true face of King Ling.
"Phew~"
Sensitively sensing the tense atmosphere around him, he whispered to Luo Feng to deal with it carefully.
The ruthless sword in Luo Shuihua's hand scrambled out of the sheath, and even his temperament changed a little, as if he had a natural kingly spirit.
"If you're here, why hide."
As soon as the words fell, a dense rain of arrows shot out all around.
Nearly 100 dead people flocked to it.
Sneer.
I really look up to myself, and I actually sent so many dead soldiers.
The ruthless sword light reflected Luo Shuihua's cold eyes, and the words he said were also bone-chilling. "Let's go together."
Luo Shuihua's swordsmanship was taught by Lin Feixue himself. In front of Ruoxi and Nangong Chen before, I was afraid that they would show clues, expose their identities, and hide them all the time. Today, it is his real strength.
A sword flew up and down, as fast as lightning, even if Ling Ruoxi was here, the two of them would probably be indistinguishable.
In the midst of the battle, another group of men in black joined the battle.
"Lord Luoge, I will come to help on the orders of the Night Lord, and General Moze will arrive later." It was Ruoxi's secret guard who arranged to accompany him to protect him.
If it weren't for the fear that Luo Shuihua would find out, they would have arrived a little farther away.
Lord of the Night? The night lord in their mouths, is it Ling Ruoxi? If it weren't for Ruoxi, how could Mo Ze be allowed to come.
The existence of the secret guard, he had heard his mother mention it. How can Ruoxi command the secret guard? Could it be the emperor......
A series of questions puzzled Luo Shuihua. No matter what, deal with the enemy in front of you first, if there is anything, you can ask it face to face.
At this time, Mo Ze has arrived with twenty dark guards.
This battle is over.
Mo Ze took out the secret letter that Ruoxi had given him before leaving. "Lord Luoge, the general said that if you intend to return to Beijing, let me give you this letter."
Just four words.
Waiting for the vacancy!
"Lord Luoge, the general said that if you leave for the palace now, you can still catch the last play."
"Let's go, go back to Beijing."
It's time for this scene to end.
According to Nangong Ling's plan, King Cheng first came forward and used Ling Ruoxi to replace all the guards of the forbidden army with their own people.
And Xichen's soldiers have already entered the capital one after another. At that time, the person who becomes the king will control the ministers of the court and their families. And he led people to force the palace.
After the matter was completed, Nangong Cheng took over the throne and ceded the three northwestern cities to Xichen, and the two countries forever married Qin and Jin.
"Brother Huang, why did you come here with Ling'er so late?" Nangong Chen looked at Nangong Cheng and Nangong Ling who broke into Tianli Palace, and his face was as usual.
"The imperial brother doesn't seem to be very surprised?"
"Did you collude with Nangong Ling?"
"No, no, I should say that you colluded with Xichen, right?"
As soon as Nangong Chen's words came out, both of them were shocked. "When did you know my identity?!"
No, it's not. They just came in too smoothly.
It was quiet outside, and there was no sound of fighting.
In addition to the forbidden army, there is also a garrison directly under Nangong Chen in the palace. Even if Ling Ruoxi replaced all the forbidden troops with his own people, he shouldn't have no sound at all.
Oh no, it's a trick! Huangfu Xuanye was shocked and angry: "It's you!" You've already designed it?! β
