Chapter 109: The Storm Rises Again
"By the way, Beichen, what you just explained about the undercurrent is the matter of the literary test?" After Bei Duqing finished talking about his own business, he asked about what he heard before entering the door just now.
"Yes, the girl on this floor wants to choose someone to go to the Sikong Mansion in the literary examination, originally thinking that according to Wen Qing's results, how can she win the first list in the palace examination and get a good official position for our use, but this suddenly a vacant Sikong Mansion will take more effort. If you can obtain Sikong Mansion, your position in the DPRK and China will be more secure. β
"Wen Qing is a good seedling, but the competition pressure of this literary test is high, so you still have to pay attention to him, lest he do other things, after all, those few are also eyeing him, it's not that simple." Bei Duqing reminded.
"I naturally know this, Lord Cheng in the imperial history has a handle on us, I'm not afraid that Wenqing will be disobedient, I have already told the undercurrent to keep an eye on it, and there will be no big problems." mentioned Wen Qing, remembering what Fang had just told him about the things in the Wen Pavilion, he burst out laughing.
Bei Duqing was puzzled: "What are you laughing at?" β
"Ouch, fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law, let me tell you one thing, do you know where the national teacher has gone to the court in the past few days when he said that he was sick?" Beichen couldn't stop laughing when he thought of the arrogant Lou Wange going to be the writing attendant handing over the pen and polishing the ink.
"Isn't it recuperating in the house?"
"The undercurrent said that a new writer attendant has appeared next to the master of the Wenguan in recent days, guess where it came from?"
"Could it beβ"
"Mostly, I'll go there myself. Fourth brother, you are checking the affairs of the Western Regions over there, and you have to keep an eye on the martial arts test, although the literary test is important, the martial arts test cannot be left behind, and this year's martial champion must be obtained. β
"I know, look at the way you look, I can't control my emotions when I mention Lou Wange, and I reprimanded the undercurrent just now, you should pay attention to it." Bei Duqing is a brother after all, Beichen's strange appearance is in his eyes, he must be different for Lou Wange-
Correcting the right color, Beichen touched his nose in embarrassment: "Fourth brother, you think too much." β
In the South Pavilion dungeon, the light is faint, and the raging flames in the altar of the main hall bring a little temperature and light to the entire cold and dark dungeon. In the main hall, a man and a woman sat opposite each other, as if they were negotiating and confronting, and the atmosphere was very solid.
"Has the Holy Lord replied?" The woman in black looked at the man in black and blue sitting across from her.
"Nope." The man replied lightly.
"Without the instructions of the Holy Lord, what should we do next? The South Pavilion is exposed, your identity is also exposed, why are you in a precarious position in the imperial capital, if Lou Wange comes to the door, why can-" The woman's eyes widened, as if she was very worried.
"She won't." The man looked up, and it was Haimi: "She knows the truth of Shun Teng touching melons, and she won't touch us for the time being, plus the recent literary exam, we are safe." It's just that it's a lot harder to do. β
"Hmph," the woman in black, who was also Liu Ruji, slapped her palm on the table, and then immediately shot at Haimi: "If you hadn't failed every mission and your identity was exposed, why wouldn't you be so passive." β
"That's enough, Liu Ruji." Haimi dodged her attack sideways, and looked at it with a knife in the eye.
"A few days ago, you took advantage of the night in the north to go to the stall of the Cold Snow Pavilion to steal the scarlet blood secret order from the National Teacher's Mansion, I don't know if it's true or not, whether this blood secret really exists, if you can use this power, it will definitely help the great cause." She sat down and said as she sipped her drink.
"The Scarlet Blood Order, if it's true, Lou Wange will let me steal it out so easily, will it not make a sound at all after I steal it out?" Thinking of the Scarlet Blood Secret Order stolen from the National Teacher's Mansion a few days ago, he shook his head, and the moment he got the so-called "Scarlet Blood Secret Order", he knew that there was no doubt about the plan. Lou Wange is such a shrewd person, how can such a valuable thing be stolen by people? And that day, I obviously felt that there were not as many guards in the National Teacher's Mansion as usual, what else could she have done if she didn't do it deliberately? Thinking of what Lou Wange said to him that night, it was just that Lou Wange deliberately designed to steal a fake crimson blood order.
"What! You mean the Crimson Order is fake! Liu Ruji was even more angry, and pulled out her sword and put it on Haimi's neck.
At this moment, there was a quick knock on the doorβ
"Who?" Liu Ruji was angry, turned her head, and the internal force knocked open the door, and also knocked down the person who knocked on the door, and the person who knocked on the door saw the bloodthirsty eyes, and hurriedly knelt down, and said in a trembling voice: "The two masters, yes, it is above, sent a secret letter." β
"Bring it."
Liu Ruji let go of her hand and took the letter, and after reading it, she laughed: "It seems that the lord wants to make this imperial capital a little more chaotic." I don't mind, though, it's more fun that way. β
Curious, Haimi took the letter from her hand and looked at it, but frowned when she saw a name.
"Yo, seeing you like this, I feel sorry for your Hongsheng." Seeing Haimi's thoughts, she quipped.
Haimi clenched his fists and endured, he had been ambushed by Lou Wange's side for so many years, to be honest, there was no trace of affection for them that was fake, especially Hongsheng, all along, she was the most sorry - as soon as he thought of this, he involuntarily closed his eyes and forcibly endured the pain, after all, the most important thing now is to complete the instructions of the Holy Lord.
"As soon as this matter is completed, you can be with Hongsheng, aren't you happy? I can't see that a person as insidious and vicious as you still has such an emotion. Hahahaha-"
Liu Ruji laughed and went out, and the sea was in place: she was right, she was originally a cold-blooded and ruthless person, and there were some things, once a decision was made, there was no way back-
"By the way, the Holy Lord also said that the Crimson Blood Order must be obtained, you failed this operation, you know what to do, right?" Although the person left, Liu Ruji's voice still echoed in the hall for a long time. Haimi clenched her fists even more, and looked viciously at where the voice came from.
endure humiliation and burden, and one day, the plan will be successful-
Early the next morning, Lou Wange, who had just woken up, received a shocking news: Du Wei in the literary hall was dead.
"How so? Who will do it? She was puzzled, the entire library was under her own surveillance, how could a person die in vain.
"I don't know, the body was found in the rockery by the lake this morning, according to the inspection, it was found that he was beaten to death, sister, you said, could it be that he had a conflict with others in the museum, and was assassinated by someone seeking revenge?" Midori guessed.
"Wait, what's that person's name?" She snapped around.
"Duwei."
"Duwei, Duweiβ" Saying the name, she suddenly remembered the day, the day she was surrounded. Yue Da seems to have done something with Du Wei, is it?
Yueda!
"What about his corpse? Where is it now? β
"This should be carried to the workshop, sister, are you going to see it?"
"Midori Dye, you go to prepare the car immediately, I'm going to the office." She commanded as she hurriedly groomed.
"Okay."
"Wait," she stopped what she was doing, and thought about it again: "No need, I won't go, you take my token and go to the office to watch, bring me the results of the work, and ask the people in the office to check carefully." β
"Okay."
As soon as he finished dressing up and pushed the door open, Lou Qingqiu came up with a dinner plate: "Master." β
"I'll just eat breakfast by myself, why did you bring it to me personally?" She was a little confused.
"Master, Miss Jin Ying from Wanhuafang came to visit early this morning, and I didn't let her come up to disturb you when you were resting, but she left a message for me to bring to the master, and I brought breakfast by the way." As he spoke, he prepared the meal.
"What did she ask you to bring?" Lou Wange didn't know that the people from Wanhuafang would bring her a message.
"She said that death is coming, and life and death depend on fate."
"That's it?" She suddenly realized what was going on, but she didn't expect to come so soon.
"Well, she left that sentence and left, nothing else." Lou Qingqiu said truthfully.
"Hmph, how long do I think it will last? Don't come to the door yet," glanced at Lou Qingqiu, put another bowl of soup next to him, and Lou Wange greeted: "Look at your appearance, you haven't eaten yet, come, together." β
"Thank you, master, for your kindness. But I don't understand what the master's words mean, and how long has it lasted? β
"Last time, Dongfang Xiu went out of my Cold Snow Pavilion completely, but she did those things, how could she be so relaxed, I gave her something."
"Oh, I understand, the master must have given her a kind of Gu poison that occurs at regular intervals, and I guessed that Dongfang Xiu would definitely be bullied by those people when she went back, so that Dongfang Xiu would suffer a little, and he would definitely come to beg you personally, and when the time comes, he will not have to say anything." Lou Qingqiu suddenly realized from the man's words this morning, plus the master's reaction.
"Yes and no. I did poison her, and I guessed that she would not be comfortable going back at the hands of Jin Ying and other people who had been suppressed by her before, but I didn't expect her to come back and beg me, I once agreed to her three requests, one of which was to help her get rid of Jin Ying and return to the position of the Red Whisk Girl. But she is vacillating now, and she has a lot of worries, and she is languishing by the emotional injury of that guy in Beiliuyun, so there must be something to stimulate her. Saying that, she threw a sly smile at Lou Qingqiu, she has never been a person who repays grievances with virtue, but she knows that sometimes giving others an extra way is also opening a way for herself, not to mention that Dongfang Xiu's identity is there, and it is always more beneficial to use her than to kill her.
"As far as I know, Jin Ying and Dongfang Xiu both have a deep love for the Five Princes, so it's very interesting. But master, will you save Dongfang Xiu? She's done that to you. β
"In a few days, we will have to wait for Beiliuyun to know about this, then the Gu poison will not be so easy to kill. Qingqiu, when you go to Wanhuafang to spread the word, you will say that I don't understand the meaning of those words, and say that there is no difference between life and death in the eyes of my Lou Wange. β
"Yes."
"How did you check the matter of Mida Mountain?" Lou Wange stopped the dishes and chopsticks.
"There is no one named Ruan Ling in Mida Mountain at all, and Mida Mountain is full of nuns, all of whom have lived there for a long time, and after several inquiries, I have not found any suspicious similar people, nor any insiders, I have been screening the information of the nuns there one by one these days, just to see if I can find out anything."
"Well, you should pay more attention to this matter, Ruan Ling is an important person, before Dongfang Xiu said that Ruan Ling was imprisoned in Mituo Mountain by Haimi, and she can only meet them once a year, since she is imprisoned, it must be very secretive, you go to check the people of Mituoshan who have been in contact with Dongfang and Haimi over the years, and you must find out Ruan Ling." Somehow, she had a very bad premonition in her heart, according to Haimi's temperament, could she keep someone for so many years-
"I see. I'll continue to send more people to investigate. β
