Chapter 238: The Secret of the Six Princes
"Soduo and Latu and I, in the name of the eldest prince, came to Daqing in advance in order to secretly meet the sixth prince Lan Yuqi." The first words of the Aesop man made everyone's hearts flutter.
He shrugged his head, his messy and dirty hair hung down, and his tone was full of decadence and anger: "But I didn't expect that the six princes had been prepared for a long time, and actually killed Sodo and Latu, if it weren't for my Atta's protection, I'm afraid that I would also be killed by him!" ”
After another low scolding, he glanced at Xia Jinse quickly, for fear that he would anger her and be tortured again. But when she frowned and stared, she didn't look at herself at all, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
Xia Jinse finally determined this, and it was not for nothing that the sixth prince Lan Yuqi took people out that night.
No wonder Lan Yuqi's people were fully armed, it turned out that they were going to kill these Aesops. So on the way back, he happened to save Xia Mengyao.
"What are you going to see the Six Princes for?" Xia Jinse asked the question that Ji Xiao and the others wanted to know.
He struggled for a while, and then whispered: "You six princes owe us the eldest prince something, the eldest prince said, as long as you tell the six princes, he will know, but I didn't expect that he actually brought someone to kill us, it is simply treacherous!" ”
Ji Xiao couldn't help it, and shouted, "What the hell is it?" Say it! ”
The man sneered: "The eldest prince didn't say it, how dare we ask without permission?" If you want to know, go and ask you six princes yourself......"
Ji Xiao's face changed: "Still want to hide it?" Are you going to taste that taste again? He raised his eyebrows at Xia Jinse: "Cousin, this person is not honest, give him a few more times!" ”
"Don't! I really don't know......"
His face suddenly changed greatly, his whole body trembled, and he desperately shrank into the cell, for fear of being tortured again, "Even if you kill me, I don't know, I was caught by you, why do you still lie!?" ”
With such important news, how can he believe it after he says two words?
Shattered Star snorted: "It seems that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin." ”
The man roared, as if furious: "People who believe in the wolf god will not lie!" If you don't believe it, forget it, anyway, if I say I don't know, I don't know, you can kill me! ”
He cursed incessantly, fearful and jealous, but also angry. also said that if he killed him, the eldest prince would definitely avenge him and set foot in Daqing......
It turns out that the Aesops believe in the wolf god? Xia Jinse was a little disappointed, it seemed that he really didn't know.
It's also possible to think that they are just the subordinates of the Great Prince of Aesop, and in order to prevent leaks, it is normal not to tell them. What Lan Yuqi owes to Prince Aesop, perhaps only he knows.
But what can make Lan Yuqi kill the Aesop is absolutely confidential!
Ji Xiao asked some more questions, but did not ask any more useful information, several people looked at each other, and they could only get out of the cell.
The dark and foul-smelling cell, as soon as he came out, he felt that the air was fresh, Xia Jinse took a deep breath, and he was still thinking about what he had just heard.
"I didn't expect that
The matter involves the six princes, what should I do? Ji Xiao frowned.
Even if it was him, he couldn't just arrest Lan Yuqi and investigate the truth behind this matter.
And needless to say, Lan Yuqi will never admit it, although the relationship between Aesop and Daqing is quite passable, but in recent years, it has become more and more delicate, if it is known that the sixth prince of Daqing has close contacts with Aesop's eldest prince, I am afraid that the meaning behind it will be serious.
"Cousin Ji, you can close the case first, and don't mention the matter of the six princes for the time being, so as not to startle the snake." Xia Jinse suggested.
"That's all it can be." Ji Xiao was a little annoyed, obviously he could continue to investigate, but he had to stop. Fortunately, Shattered Star said that this matter will definitely not be over, so Ji Xiao nodded and reassured.
The follow-up will be handed over to the Nine Princes to investigate, and it will definitely come to light!
Shattered Star sent Xia Jinse back again, and learned that the five princes had not left yet, so Xia Jinse went to Fengwu Pavilion again.
has already gone out for a trip, Lan Muxuan and Xia Junping haven't finished chatting yet, the two even put wine and two side dishes on the table, chatting while eating. It seemed that when the conversation was about to be exciting, a heroic voice came, accompanied by laughter, Xia Jinse walked in and said with a smile: "What are you talking about, chatting so happily?" ”
"Sister, are you back?" Xia Junping's face was flushed, and he said excitedly, "Mu Xuan just gave me his Ghost Xuan Soldier Book, do you know that this Soldier Book has been lost for hundreds of years, I didn't expect it to ......"
"The Book of Ghost Soldiers? What is it? Xia Jinse asked curiously.
Lan Muxuan explained simply, it was written by a master of the art of war named Zhang Xuan, because the content was extremely exquisite, he had never been defeated in his life, and he used soldiers like a god, and was called a ghost by later generations. The work on the art of war he wrote is naturally called the art of war.
"I also discovered it by accident, it is useless to fall into my hands, give it to Brother Junping to play a role on the battlefield, this is the value of the Ghost Xuan Art of War." Lan Muxuan smiled faintly, not caring at all that he would give away a priceless treasure casually.
That's why Xia Junping was excited, if this book of soldiers was known, he was afraid that no matter how high the price was, someone would ask for it.
Lan Muxuan gave it to him, which shows that friendship is priceless!
After this episode, Xia Jinse did not deliberately hide it, and only then did she say what she was doing just now, anyway, Lan Muxuan has been following Lan Beichen, and the level of trust between the two is completely different from that of ordinary uncles and nephews. What Lan Beichen knew, most of Lan Muxuan also knew.
She wanted to ask about the news about the Aesop people to see if Lan Muxuan would know more.
"The Sixth Prince has a relationship with the Great Prince Aesop?" Lan Muxuan was also a little surprised.
Regarding the relationship between Aesop and Daqing, he also knows that it has become more and more tense in recent years, although the two sides are okay on the surface, but secretly it has long been sour. Even his business involving Aesop was more difficult than other places, but fortunately, Aesop's focus was not on Aesop, and he didn't care much.
"But when it comes to the Aesops, their faith seems to us to be not only mysterious, but also cruel."
Lan Muxuan talked about what his caravan had experienced: "Aesop, like the Jin Kingdom, have their own totems and worships, but
The people of Jin worship the eagle, and the Aesop worship the wolf god. ”
Xia Jinse nodded: "I saw that Aesop domesticated wolf, much bigger than ordinary wild wolves. ”
His expression was a little solemn, and Lan Muxuan said: "The Aesop people have a special domestication method, which is said to be that only the warriors of the clan can succeed, which shows how difficult and cruel the process is. Their wolves were domesticated and raised from a young age, so that they could communicate with their masters, and the wolves domesticated by the Aesop royal family were even known as the wolf kings. ”
There is definitely a difference between the wolf king and an ordinary wolf, but Lan Muxuan said: "The inheritance of the Aesop royal family is very simple, as long as which prince domesticates the wolf king, the next Aesop king will be him." They have an incomprehensible worship and belief in the wolf god, and in order to domesticate the most powerful wolf king, the princes will choose the most beautiful maiden on the night of the full moon and feed her with her blood, which is said to give the wolf strength and become the wolf king. ”
Xia Jinse and Xia Junping looked at each other when they heard this, what kind of weird method is this?
It is dangerous enough to domesticate wolves, and they even have to use the blood of young girls, in their opinion, this is just an evil law, how can a wolf fed with blood increase in strength and become a wolf king?
"As for whether they did anything to the girl, outsiders don't know, anyway, this set is very mysterious, only their royal family knows. This news also spread later, and it is uncertain whether it is true or not. ”
Xia Junping frowned and said: "I've read some books, which record the method of raising Gu, this way of feeding the wolf king with blood, will it be similar to raising Gu?" ”
"Who knows? After all, ordinary people don't even know how to raise Gu, that's what only people in southern Xinjiang understood before. ”
Lan Muxuan smiled: "But Southern Xinjiang has been destroyed." ”
As if thinking of something, Xia Jinse guessed: "Next month, the eldest prince of Aesop will come to Daqing, you say, will he bring his domesticated wolf?" ”
This one...... Maybe it's possible!
According to the current relationship between Aesop and Daqing, it is not absolutely friendly and peaceful, as long as Aesop's royal family has a ghost in his heart, he must be worried that Daqing will do something. For his own safety, Prince Aesop will definitely bring enough strength, and most of his wolves will come, by the way, to deter the officials who have never seen wolves on Daqing's side.
It seems that there are more and more hidden dangers of getting married next month......
It's obviously a festive thing, the most important moment in life, but a group of uninvited guests came! If something really happened, Xia Jinse secretly said in his heart, don't talk about her, I'm afraid that Lan Beichen won't let go of these people.
"Come on, come on, anyway, I haven't seen the so-called wolf king, I really want to see it if I have a chance." She smiled faintly.
The next day, Xia Jinse had just had breakfast when he received a message from Chasing Yun.
"Miss, this is a letter from Sister Shooting Moon!" Chasing Yun happily handed over an envelope with Juanxiu small characters written on it.
The letter was sent by the post station with three coats of fire paint, which was a sign of urgency, and it was also necessary to give two more silver taels.
Xia Jinse thought something was wrong, so he quickly took a look, but he smiled: "Yes, Shooting Moon said that they would go again."
I'm going to be back in a few days, and everything is going well with the branch in Jinling, so they don't need to stay and keep an eye on it. ”
Chasing Yun also rejoiced: "That's great, when Sister Shooting Moon and Mo Yan come back, it will be much easier to do things." ”
She has always been worried that there are fewer people and not enough to protect Miss.
Xia Jinse was curious, it had been almost a month since Shooting Moon and Mo Yan went out, and after they came back, did the relationship between the two go further? I don't know if Mo Yan's stuttering is better, but I'll know when I come back and see it.
Just then, Muxiang came in.
"Miss, someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion has arrived." Mu Xiang said: "It was said that the second master was back, so in order to celebrate the marriage of the young lady, he specially asked the emperor for leave to come back, and asked the young lady to hurry over to meet someone when she was empty." ”
Second master? Xia Jinse was slightly stunned before she reacted, she should have been an official in the field, her second uncle, right?
Since Xia Jinse returned to the capital, he has only heard that this second uncle is called Xia Yanfeng, who is the county guard of Xishan Province, and his whole family has been in Xishan for many years and rarely comes back. But this time, in order to celebrate Lan Beichen and her wedding, Xia Yanfeng actually asked Emperor Yuanqing for leave?
Xia Jinse raised her lips slightly, she knew that this must not be her own face, it must be Xia Yanfeng for the sake of the Nine Princes Lan Beichen, and she didn't know whether she was polite or stammered, so she came back on purpose.
Calling someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xia Jinse said: "Go back and tell my father, I have something to do today, and I will naturally come back to see my second uncle when I am free." ”
Since people didn't come because of her, she naturally wouldn't go back immediately.
"Miss, this ......"
The subordinates of the Prime Minister's Mansion were embarrassed, and said: "The master also said that the eldest lady is about to get married, and she can't live outside anymore, so she has to move back." Otherwise, let people know, and gossip. ”
That's good, Xia Jinse laughed, she was thinking about when Xia Yanxiu would call her back?
Here it is!
