Chapter 473: Situ Mansion's Secrets
Yu Panxi was very careful in her actions every time, and after every search, everything would be returned to its original state, and almost no one could notice her after entering the study, so Situ Ye did not find anything unusual.
It's just that the only thing that is a little thrilling is that she will bump into the guy named Xiao Yang several times, and even almost collided with Situ Ye himself once. If she hadn't heard Xingtian mention Xiao Yang and knew that he was Situ Ye's confidant, I was afraid that she would have to wonder if this person had some ulterior motives for coming and going in the study so frequently.
However, this incident is enough to prove that the Xi Yu they designed to uproot before is indeed the most valued henchman by Situ Ye, otherwise these errands should be scattered at the moment, rather than in the hands of the same person. According to this situation, this Xiao Yang will probably soon replace the previous Xi Yu and become Situ Ye's most powerful right-hand man.
Yu Panxi had a general understanding of Xiao Yang's identity in his heart, so he naturally paid more attention to this person's whereabouts. In addition, she risked her to sneak into Situ Ye's study several times, and finally turned out all the things that the latter had hidden in a few secret compartments. It's just that there is no suitable opportunity at the moment, in order to avoid startling the snake, she only looked at the letters and evidence one by one, and did not take them out.
And while Yu Panxi was trying his best to wait for the opportunity to send all the evidence out, Situ Ye was not idle. He didn't know that the things he was hiding in the dark compartment had been discovered, but he was still running around trying to get a little more help for himself. Only in this way, when he really takes action in the end, will his chances of victory be greater.
However, what annoyed Situ Ye was that the forces he had met with were already in a neutral state, and in recent days, Yu Panxi, who had regained his innocence, came forward to deal with a lot of things on behalf of the Regent's Palace. With such a decisive temperament, it was inevitable that the hearts of those forces were a little biased towards the side of the palace. Even if Situ Ye deliberately asked Xiao Yang to take a list of some people who had agreed to cooperate with him, trying to use this as an example to persuade those forces, the latter was still unmoved, and it was clear that he didn't want to wade into this troubled water.
So, under the persecution of various circumstances, Situ Ye, who had begun to wait no longer, suddenly remembered that Xiao Chumo could not personally come forward to preside over everything in the regent palace now, wasn't it because he had planted Gu for him early on? If the regent suddenly dies at this time, not to mention that the ministers who supported the little emperor will lose their backbone in an instant, presumably even the forces of all parties will be able to see who is worthy of their support.
"Such a good way, why haven't I been able to think of it before!"
Situ Ye, who was staring at the list in his hand and worried, slapped his head, and then quickly got up and carefully took out a small box from the most hidden secret compartment in the study.
This secret grid is hidden behind a painting and calligraphy, and the mechanism is under the vase next to it, not to mention that Yu Panxi has been here a few times before and has not found it, even Situ Ye's own henchmen, he has not told any of them.
At this time, I saw Situ Ye holding the box in his hand, and for some reason his expression seemed to hesitate a little, and it was rare that he was not dominated by the eagerness in his eyes. But this is not the last kindness, there is only one Gu worm that can trigger the blood curse, he is just thinking about whether to use it at this time. After all, in his original plan, this was his hole card, something that should not be used until the last resort.
Situ Ye was a little hesitant in his heart, but when his eyes inadvertently looked at the list on the bookcase, there was a nameless fire that ignited all at once, making him quickly make up his mind, and he gritted his teeth and said: "The current situation, I have to use it!" ”
Since the last time he sent someone to assassinate the little emperor failed, not only did he lose a secret mansion, but the latter used it to clear Yu Panxi's charge. And after that incident, even if a substitute ghost was found, many of the ministers of the court had already guessed that the mansion should be from him, and they began to sway again.
In addition, Yu Panxi came forward to punish many ministers who took refuge in him on behalf of the regent's palace, and the rest of those people were afraid that they would be implicated, and they might turn around and take refuge on the other side at any time. If he continues to let it go like this, I'm afraid that before he really starts his plan, Xiao Chumo will already be able to steadily suppress him!
He absolutely, absolutely didn't want to see that happen!
The strong hatred condensed in Situ Ye's heart, and he didn't hesitate too much, and directly opened the box, revealing a fat Gu worm inside. Immediately afterward, I don't know what he did, but I saw that he had just touched the Gu worm, and a wisp of black qi was wrapped around the insect's fat body along his fingertips. The next moment, the whole insect suddenly rolled violently, as if it had been put on a fire and burned!
"Smack!"
A subtle but unusually clear sound came from inside the box, as if something had exploded inside. And the fat Gu worm stopped rolling at the moment, just curled up and lay quietly inside, as if it had finally ended its pain and died. There was a kind of charred mark on its body, as if there was an invisible flame that had scorched it just now, leaving traces on it.
Situ Ye didn't show the slightest surprise at this, and even the expression on his face was very cold, as if he had known that this should be the scene. When he withdrew his hand, he also pinched the dead Gu worm into powder by the way, as if it had a meaning.
"Xiao Chumo, I will win this war!"
……
What happened in the study, no one except Situ Ye himself knew about it. And Yu Panxi didn't have the heart to care about what was happening over there at this time, because she was engrossed in releasing the paper crane in her hand.
This is one of the treasures that Ah Ye helped her collect on the road when she went to Zilei Mountain to look for Fu Xiqin a long time ago. It's just that because she has been thinking about the child who was taken away by the silver dragon and her husband on the battlefield, she put this paper crane specially used to transmit messages in the corner, but now it finally has a place to use.
"I hope Ah Ye can come over as soon as possible."
A murmur flew out of the window with the crane, and before the guards could look at it, it had already disappeared by the wall.
In fact, this paper crane can only fly to the Regent's Mansion, and Yu Panxi is not sure who it will really fall into. However, she didn't have to see the news, as long as any person with strong martial arts skills who was strong enough to evade the guards of Situ Mansion came over.
