353 The Secret Past (3)
"So, Ye Gucheng's death is finally related to Wu Cao?"
Sanjie took a deep breath and finally threw out the question that players were most concerned about.
After all, coming with the power of the entire Demon Gate, Wu Cao and Mingyue Palace faced Ye Gucheng at this time, and they had a great upper hand in terms of strength and momentum. Even if Wu Cao waved his big hand and directly wiped out Ye Gucheng and the others, it was completely okay!
Since ancient times, the struggle for the throne has been extremely cruel, and although this big river and lake is a game world, this kind of thing is not impossible to do under the conflict of interests. Xi Meihong shook her head and said, "You all misunderstood. Although Wu Cao came with momentum that day, he did not have a conflict with Ye City Lord. Mr. Zhuge later told me that after Wu Cao came, he was also a little surprised to see the mess in the palace. She just withdrew from everyone and talked with City Lord Ye alone for a while. After a stick of incense, the head of the lonely city laughed and left the palace with Mr. Zhuge and the others, while Wu Cao officially took over the emperor's position! ”
"Didn't confront the conflict head-on?" Ah Fei and the others were a little curious.
"That's right. It should be said that they reached some agreement with each other. City Lord Ye and the others left the palace and secretly came to my Xijiazhuang. And Wu Cao then issued an undisclosed notice, asking the whole Jianghu to reward Ye Gucheng, Zhuge Zhengme, Sikong Xingxing, Lu Xiaofeng, and the four famous catchers and other people's personal weapons, this matter can only be participated in by Jianghu people, and players are not aware of it......"
"Wait a minute! Wu Cao only offered a reward for his portable weapons, not a person? What does that mean? ”
Xi Meihong shook her head: "It's just a weapon!" And in this notice, Wu Cao vaguely mentioned that the whereabouts of Ye Gucheng and others were unknown, and even deliberately said that they might be in Baiyun City...... As a cooperation, Mr. Zhuge forged some fake weapons and put them on the rivers and lakes. And these things were discovered by the people of the rivers and lakes, and some were sent to the capital, and the Wu court accepted all the orders and gave rewards, which also caused a lot of competition in the rivers and lakes! Some of them were snatched by some people, and later, as far as we know, these stolen weapons were melted down! ”
Hearing this, the three precepts finally suddenly realized: "I know! Those people melted down their weapons in order to prevent Ye Gucheng and the others from carrying their previous memories and martial arts with them after they were resurrected! This is...... This is a trick to death! ”
"That's right, it's the way to trick the enemy to death! In this way, the world will think that Ye City Lord and Wu Cao had a conflict in the capital because of the throne, and Ye City Lord and others died in battle. In order to prevent future troubles forever, Wu Cao wants to cut off some kind of resurrection from them! ”
Everyone also nodded. After all, without these close-fitting weapons and artifacts, even after resurrection, it is just an ordinary Ye Gucheng, not the Ye Gucheng who has greatly enhanced his martial arts and knowledge after experiencing the undefeated events in the East. Ordinary Ye Gucheng, although his martial arts are not bad, but the threat is naturally not as good as before! I have to say that this method can be regarded as a success, at least most people think so, including players such as Ah Fei!
If an NPC wants to have its previous memories and martial arts after being resurrected, it needs certain conditions. Many NPCs will leave their memories in their weapons, or in some personal things. If all these things are destroyed, then there will be no chance of complete resurrection. Those enemies destroyed the weapons of Ye Gucheng and the others, naturally out of this consideration.
From Ye Gucheng's point of view, in the face of those secret strong enemies, it is not a bad idea to use this method of cheating death to come to Xijiazhuang to temporarily recuperate. The reason why I chose Xijiazhuang is probably because of the cold-blooded relationship with the third lady of the Xi family, and the owner of Xijiazhuang, Xi Qiuya, has a good relationship with the four famous catchers, and this place is solid.
This part of the doubts was solved, but more doubts popped up in the player's mind, and Baili Bing glanced at Ah Fei and said slowly: "I didn't expect Wu Cao to have such a cooperation with Ye Gucheng...... But why did Wu Cao do this, and what good did it do for her? She is already the empress, her martial arts are high, and her power is strong enough, does Ye Gucheng still have any value to her? And since Ye Gucheng and the others have all evacuated to Xijiazhuang safely, why are there only weapons left here? What happened to Ye Gucheng after he came to Xijiazhuang? ”
That Xi Meihong sighed and said, "Wu Cao can't always be the emperor, especially after the shattered void, she has to retire according to the agreement!" But she has a big thing to do, and she needs the continued support of the court behind her after she quits the throne. This incident also contributed to the cooperation between Wu Cao and Ye City Lord......"
"It's the revival of the Demon Gate, and the sons of a hundred schools of thought are contending for this matter!"
Ah Fei patted the corner of the table, and everyone suddenly realized.
I'm afraid that only this incident can impress Wu Cao. When Wu Cao was in power, he could certainly rely on the extremely strong martial arts power to implement this matter, and even with the help of the power of the imperial court; But when she ceased to be the empress, the power of the court could not be borrowed. In this case, if the next imperial court can continue to support the contention of a hundred schools, then its success rate will naturally increase greatly!
Ye Gucheng and Zhuge Zheng must have reached an agreement with Wu Cao on this, so there is a later cooperation!
The players understood the truth, and they were also in a mood for a while. But I heard that Xi Meihong continued: "Since you have all mentioned it, then naturally I don't need to say more!" As for Ye City Lord and the others in Xijiazhuang, there were indeed some accidents. After coming to my Xijiazhuang, the city lord and others wanted to heal and recuperate first, and then make plans. But at this time, City Lord Ye and Mr. Zhuge discovered a troublesome matter. In the battle when the palace was attacked, everyone was wounded, and a strange poison was inflicted on the wounds. This poison has a faint smell, although it is not harmful to the human body, but it cannot be removed. And Mr. Zhuge even found that there seems to be a way to use this smell to find the location of the poisoned person! The enemy has a unique bird that is sensitive to this taste. The place where they stay and gather is often the place where the smell is most concentrated. ”
The players' faces changed, and they suddenly remembered the poison of Yang Xiao and Mingjiao, the two were too similar. It's just that the poison of Mingjiao is colorless and tasteless, and it needs to be smelled with a special technique. But this poison has a faint smell and requires the help of special birds.
Ah Fei said in a trembling voice: "Do you know what kind of poison it is, has this poison been cured?" ”
Xi Meihong shook her head and said, "I don't know, there is no antidote to this poison." Staying in the human body, it will slowly disappear with the circulation of the human body after a few months, and there is no antidote that can be dissolved immediately. And in these few months, the enemy can use this poison to find the poisoned person hiding anywhere! Unless the man dies and the blood is no longer flowing, the smell will no longer ......"
Track and kill!
When you hear this, you seem to have found the answer to a certain question. Instead of asking, they chose to remain silent. In this case, the choice of Ye Gucheng and the others seems to make sense with the things on the table in front of them!
Only then did Xi Meihong take out a small package from under the table and open it in front of everyone. Inside was a letter, sealed with a disposable seal, which was still intact at the moment. She picked up the letter, solemnly and slowly handed it to Ah Fei, and said, "Lord of the Bitter Alliance, this is a letter that City Lord Ye left for you before making a decision. You'll know everything when you see it! City Lord Ye did this for his business, but he was not a person who gave up easily, he did this to better fight those thieves, so he also said...... Well, it's better to see for yourself the leader of the bitter alliance! ”
Ah Fei took the letter and gently pinched it a few times with both hands.
The letter was very thin, only the thickness of a piece of paper, and only the words "Bitter Ah Fei" were written on the envelope, and even the word "pro-Qi" was omitted. I don't know if it was because I was in a hurry or I didn't care too much.
Is it to exchange death for a new life?
But such a big thing happened, why didn't this Ye Gucheng inform his hard-working Ah Fei? Even if Ah Fei can't turn the overall situation around, he can at least come over to help. And what kind of powerful enemy would make Ye Gucheng have to make this choice?
Maybe this letter will give him a clear answer!
Ah Fei opened the letter and gently shook the letter open.
"Hahahaha! Ah Fei, you kid must have seen this letter. I think you must be scolding your mother in your heart, and even scolding me! But it's okay, because I'm dead, and I can't hear you scolding me! ”
The breath on his face made Ah Fei stunned, and he continued to look at it calmly.
"I think before this, the third lady of Xijiazhuang has already told you the truth of the matter. I don't need to go into these things, but there are some things that I have to say to you......"
Some of the latter content is almost the same as what Xi Meihong said, but a few detailed descriptions have been added to it.
Ye Gucheng said that he thought that Wu Cao did the sneak attack on the palace that day, but later talked to Wu Cao once and found out that it was not her. The mastermind seems to have someone else, according to his and Zhuge Zheng's speculation, it is nothing more than a group of people who covet the throne in history, and they are not fighting for the throne at this time, but for the throne during the period after Wu Cao retreated. If something happened to Ye Gucheng and the previous emperor, then those people would have a great chance!
In this big river and lake, the throne is actually not a scarce thing, but some people can't stand it and just rush to it. Cai Jing of the Wen family, Taiping Wang Shizi of the ancient family, Chen Youliang of the Jin and ancient families, not to mention the Huang family. The competitors of Li Shimin and Zhu Yuanzhang alone are enough to list a long list.
In order to deal with this situation, Ye Gucheng directly let himself come to the most thorough way. He said that his hands have not been able to draw his sword since the undefeated incident of the East back then, which is nothing less than a sorrow for him as a top swordsman. Although his martial arts realm had been greatly improved, it could not be reflected in the Flying Immortal Sword. In order to cope with everything in the best condition, he gave himself a complete rebirth.
"I have sealed my memories and martial arts experience on the Flying Immortal Sword, so the only task for you is to protect this sword, not to lose it, let alone be found by the enemy! When I come back on that day, you will use this Flying Immortal Sword to welcome me back again! ”
"I solemnly warn you, don't deal with those enemies, let alone kill any of them. Not because of how strong they are, but because they are all from my Ye Gucheng, and only my Flying Immortal Sword can take their lives. If I come back and find out that you killed any of them, I will not spare you!" At least you don't have the idea of eating in the palace in the future! ”
"By the way, there's one more thing. I met Wu Cao that day, she is a talented person, and she has great ambitions that are enough to shake the rivers and lakes! My cooperation with her was a mutually beneficial move. That day she asked me what she should do if someone came to the palace to trouble her under the pretext of avenging me. Do you want to kill or let go? Guess how I told her? ”
