Chapter 280: Destiny destined by providence
"If you go down, you will go back, and your mother and Your Majesty will take care."
Nan Chen arched his hand and left in the night.
The scroll he left behind, called "Hidden Record", really made some impressions of Xiang Yeqi.
The so-called hidden record is a directory used in the dark castle to record the origin and aptitude of the dead, and those leaders in the dark castle say that no matter their background and past, they actually keep a close eye on it to prevent any mistakes. But most people are still mediocre in talent, and there are even fewer whose origins are worthy of a book, so most of them share a booklet with the dead soldiers who enter the Dark Fort every year, so they are called "records".
If you can use the scroll, it means that the talent must be extremely extraordinary, or the origin is unusual and needs to be "monitored", or both.
Before Xiang Yeqi unfolded the scroll, he had already guessed that Nan Chen would be a type of person who had both.
The scroll begins with Nan Chen's parents, his father was a minister of the former dynasty, and his mother was Mrs. Xuan, and the origin of Nan Chen's brothers and sisters can indeed be called the proud sons of heaven.
But no one expected that the origin of his parents was actually the descendants of the old dynasty who were seized and usurped by the ancestor emperor of Huaguo hundreds of years ago.
There is also another note in the corner of the hidden record, he has checked his father's origin, it is clear that he is a Chinese from a hundred years ago, and even the family tree can be traced back to a long time ago, if it is investigated more carefully, it should be a descendant of a tribe that was wiped out by the Hu State, and it has nothing to do with the eight poles of the dynasty before the Hua State, it seems that he believed in someone's slander, and instilled this slander into the people around him.
Xiang Yeqi smacked his tongue very much.
After that, it was said that the Nan Chen brothers and sisters should have been executed together according to the charges of the Jiu clan, but the two were young at the beginning, so they really shouldn't have been so implicated, and it happened that Bo Zhaoxu, who was still ignorant, was about to have a birthday, and the old emperor felt unlucky, so he left the two of them to live, and at the same time secretly left Nan Chen to Bo Zhaoxu to be a personal guard in the future, which was also convenient to monitor whether this person was rebelling.
Turning his eyes to the night, he always felt that the old emperor's surveillance of Bo Zhaoxu was mostly to spy on Nan Chen, to see if he had the same idea of wanting to restore orthodoxy as his father, and if he really had thoughts that he shouldn't have, then kill him in time in the cradle.
As Xiang Yeqi had guessed, Nan Chen had just begun to practice martial arts in the Dark Castle, and he showed an amazing talent, and he was the only Dark Castle guard who could compete with Bo Zhaoxu in close quarters.
After that, it was a compilation of what Nan Chen's exploits had when he was in the Dark Castle, such as he alone captured a minister who wanted to rebel, and the ink is getting newer and newer, and the latest is that Nan Chen was transferred to Bo Zhaoxu's side to do things, and listened to the Hidden Castle arrange a fake death, and rightfully became Bo Zhaoxu's guard.
Xiang Yeqi hid this scroll under the pillow, and then went to see Yingyan.
Yingyan was a little sulky, and always felt that she was not good at doing things, and her skills were not as good as others, so she would "not be able to walk" into the heart of Xiang Yeqi and be a guard who trusted Ye Yan. So much so that when Xiang Yeqi saw her, she was working with two sandbag-sized stone locks.
Seeing Xiang Yeqi, Yingyan put the stone lock aside: "Niangniang, the skills of the subordinates are indeed not as good as the southern guards, but the subordinates must do their best to become Niangniang's henchmen as soon as possible!" ”
Xiang Yeqi blinked in confusion, how could these two still compare?
"Yingyan, I'm afraid you have some misunderstanding, I'm not guarding against you, but the matter of the South Guards is quite special, and the fewer people who know, the better. Why don't you take me down the well first, and I'll explain to you when I get back?" She looked at Yingyan Zara and blinked, "While your majesty is coming back to the house late today, we still have a chance to go out for a walk." ”
She couldn't help but wonder how she was like doing something wrong, could it be that as a guard, she had to come first and come later?
That's outrageous.
Yingyan changed her hesitant attitude, even if she wanted to take Xiang Yeqi down the well, in order to prove how sympathetic and reliable she was with Xiang Yeqi, Yingyan was very considerate to protect Xiang Yeqi's waist, grabbed the rope by the well with one hand, and stepped on the side of the well with her feet as assistance.
After stepping on the wall next to the well, Yingyan said calmly: "Niangniang must be careful, if you are really scared, you can hold the waist of your subordinates." ”
Xiang Yeqi has always had a strong desire to survive, and he has long regarded himself as a humanoid pendant on Yingyan's body, and it is indeed a little convenient for the guard to be a girl.
For example, it is not so embarrassing to be afraid of heights.
Xiang Yeqi endured and didn't shout out the fear in his mouth, but fortunately, this well was much shallower than Xiang Yeqi thought, and he saw the bottom almost instantly, and the rope that was thrown down still left a very long section at the bottom of the well.
"This well is so shallow? No wonder the girl was able to jump down so smoothly, people were forced to be in a hurry, and they could really do anything. ”
Xiang Yeqi couldn't help but sigh how strong the concubine's desire to survive was, although this well was not deep, it was still very difficult for ordinary people to jump down, let alone climb out of the well, it was really difficult for her.
"It's not deep, but if you're not careful, I'm afraid you'll still fall and hurt your leg."
Yingyan lit a fire fold, which happened to reflect the scratches and blood marks on the well wall, and the concubine did suffer some hardships in order to climb up the well.
Sighing to the night, he walked along the distance with no end in sight, carefully fortified along the way.
She even imagined that there would be a lot of bones of people killed by the son of the Xie family at the bottom of the well, but the result was not only cleaner than Xiang Yeqi thought, but there were even many precious things, piles of gold and jade, jewels hidden in the corners and shining, and a few golden Buddha statues hidden here It was a pity.
Even though Ying Yandang recognized one of the Buddha statues, he folded the fire over: "This is the Buddha statue that the emperor asked for from Yuanjing a few years ago, but before he could transport it to Beijing, he was robbed by a group of unknown murderers on the way to Beijing, and his subordinates really didn't expect to meet it in such a place......"
This Buddha statue has no bottom plate, his hair is combed in a high bun, and he has fallen jewels, and he looks majestic, but he is hidden at the bottom of such a well, and he doesn't even know where the road ahead will be.
"Xie Gongzi probably left these shady dirt at the bottom of the well, thinking that no one would find it. After all, it is much safer to hide in such a place than to hide on the ground. ”
Xiang Yeqi sneered, carefully looked at the light in front of him, and said, "It's just that he was discovered, and he should be able to find a suitable excuse to excuse himself." After all, all the business of the Xie family's gambling house branch is under his control, and it can be said that these things are used by the guests of the gambling house as collateral, which is unsubstantiated and safe. ”
I'm afraid that even Gongzi Xie himself has forgotten that he has hidden these things in the well, and there should be a lot more dirt hidden around him than here.
The place leading to him was really another wellhead, whether Rao had expected it to Yeqi, or was stunned by Gongzi Xie's boldness.
Yingyan's old technique was repeated, and he brought Xiang Yeqi to the wellhead, and before he could stand firmly, several sword blades were placed in front of the two of them, as if he had expected it.
……
One of the sword-wielding swordsman turned around and shouted to the master, probably to call their master to judge himself, and his eyes darkened to the night, what kind of damn luck is this!
If nothing else, this should be the mansion of the Xie family's son, and the master who the guards in front of him kept calling should be the notorious Xie Gongzi.
Thinking of this, Xiang Yeqi had a headache again.
She didn't doubt that Yingyan's skills would be able to escape with her, but this time she was startled, and I was afraid that it would be even more dangerous in the future.
The sword-wielding guards got out of the way one after another, and behind them came a figure who was even more terrifying than Gongzi Xie in the eyes of Xiang Yeqi......
Bo Zhaoxu!
Xiang Yeqi also whispered to Yingyan not to act rashly, but to wait for the opportunity to move, but when she saw Bo Zhaoxu, she immediately changed her face: "Yingyan, jump!" Let's go back! ”
This feeling of being caught red-handed really made Xiang Yeqi feel very complicated.
The gloomy man approached the well, grabbed the collar behind Xiang Yeqi, who was trying to struggle, and carried the person out of the well.
Seeing her standing in front of him with an innocent face, Bo Zhaoxu shook his head helplessly: "Where else do you want to go?" I am really destined by providence to come here to investigate, and I can even meet Lang'er who came out of a very suspicious well-to visit me? ”
Yingyan suddenly recalled the experience of following Xiang Yeqi on the road, but was discovered by Bo Zhaoxu on the spot and warned her to pay attention to proportion......
It seems that Xiang Yeqi is destined to be doomed tonight, which is even more terrifying than directly bumping into the son of the Xie family.
Seeing this, Yingyan simply stopped climbing on the side of the well like a reptile, pulled a crawling hook on the side of the well with skill, and easily jumped on the ground, shook the dust on the hem of his clothes, and hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, tonight's matter is that your subordinates are too bent on going their own way, please don't blame Niangniang, no matter how much punishment you have, your subordinates can afford it." ”
The atmosphere was suddenly solemn, and the Huaguo guards even silently summed up how serious the mistakes she had committed for Ying Yan in their hearts.
If it is placed on the battlefield, what is the difference between this and disobeying military orders?
Bo Zhaoxu's face has never been something they dare to speculate about, not to mention that except for Nan Chen, who was following Bo Zhaoxu, who could guess three points, no one knew what was hidden under Bo Zhaoxu's gloomy face.
He stood under the cold moon with his hands, and was deceitful by the moonlight, and said majestically: "I know what kind of character she is, I don't need you to excuse her, in my heart, I have the measure to get along with my wife." ”
If you want to talk about the night, this time is also surprisingly calm.
Under the gaze of those Huaguo guards, she calmly dusted off her skirt, her face did not change in the slightest, and she was even a little reasonable: "I know it's wrong, but I dare next time, your words must be very reasonable, but I may not listen to you next time." Mainly, I think you are generally reluctant to blame me. ”
