The moon and stars are hidden, the autumn breeze is slow, the shadows in the city are sparse, the lights are still shining on the ancient street, and it is already the time to leave the Tingwei Mansion without obstacles and wonderful hearts, and I did not return to the house, but went to Qingya Pavilion.

Zhang Liang and the others were in Qing Yage, and after learning that Princess Yu's condition had not deteriorated, Wuxian and Zhang Liang, Yi Shuihan, and Yin Lingchong entered the second floor to talk privately, and Miaoxin and Guo Zijing and others waited downstairs.

Wu Jian briefly recounted the Fenglingdu incident and what happened in the Tingwei Mansion tonight to the three of them, hoping that they could secretly pay attention to it.

After Yin Lingchong heard this, he thought about it: "I think of a person, this person is called Burning Yuan, practicing the art of the netherworld, good at using the golden flute to resist ghosts, often haunting at night, known as 'white-faced impermanence', has wandered all over the place, plundered treasures, because of the night into the Wei State to steal jewelry, caused the King of Wei to be angry, called on the cultivation of the true sage at that time, for the people to eliminate harm, it is rumored that this person died in Heze, this matter has been more than 50 years, not necessarily him. ”

Zhang Liang said: "I think this person is very likely to be him, since he cultivates the art of the Netherworld, it is possible to escape that catastrophe, and it is not impossible to live another fifty years old." ”

Wu Barrier said: "The person who released the Shadowless Needle, I suspect that it is the Pavilion Master of the Tiansha Pavilion, Xiao Jinghong, I have seen him fight with people, condensed into ice needles with poisonous gas, and spread into the body, the wound is extremely small, it is difficult to detect, and the killing is invisible, but I didn't see the assassin's figure clearly tonight, and I can't be sure that it must be him." ”

Yi Shuihan said: "This afternoon, I encountered a strange thing by the Weishui River, I saw a group of people carrying the coffin off the boat, the group said that the old man died in the field, returned to his hometown and entered the earth, because the corpse inside emitted the smell of corpses, the officials only opened a corner when they were inspected, and hurriedly glanced at it, and let it pass, the coffin seemed to be very heavy, and several people were very difficult to carry, now I think that there must be a problem in this coffin, it should not be just a corpse inside, maybe the corpse is just hiding people's eyes and ears. ”

Hearing this, Wuji's eyes lit up, and he said: "This information is very important, the jewelry is likely to be in the coffin, and the jewelry was transported to Xianyang to avoid Feng Zheng's search, which is unexpected and safer." Instead, he asked, "Where did those guys go?"

"I didn't follow them, but they went east of the city, and I could tell them if I asked. ”

"Thank you, Brother Yi, I'll go and find out about this tomorrow. ”

Zhang Liang said: "Brother Li, you have to be careful of this Yao Jia, that assassin chose you instead of him, I think he is very suspicious!"

"Although I can see his problem, I don't know what their ultimate goal is, there is not enough evidence, and suspicion is useless." ”

Zhang Liang said: "Speaking of which, I remembered that in the past few days, we have been secretly paying attention in the city, and we found that there are often mysterious people in and out of the Taiwei Mansion, and the cultivation of two people is unfathomable, I don't know what they are secretly doing with Wang Ben!"

Wuxian said in a deep voice: "Wang Ben holds most of the military power of the Qin State, in addition to Yingzheng in the Qin State, his status is the highest, and he secretly met with the mysterious person, presumably there must be a plan, it is likely to be related to this matter, the undead took advantage of the way, destroyed the mercury, the water ghost boarded the ship, robbed the jewelry, and left the sentence 'rampant expropriation, people complain and anger', and the porcelain piece, what do they want." ”

Zhang Liangdao: "This is very interesting, I don't know if it is like-minded with us, or if you want to blame us anti-Qin righteous people." ”

Wuji said lightly: "I vaguely feel that these two are not, it seems that the person who was blamed is still in the dark, and once it is discovered, it is too late, and the development of this situation is becoming more and more chaotic." ”

Zhang Liang said: "Isn't this chaos exactly what Brother Li wants?"

"It's what I want, but it's not in my control right now, and I may not be able to protect myself. ”

Zhang Liang said: "Could it be that those doctors did it, Brother Li offended them and took charge of the matter, they created an incident, so that the brother could not close the case, and wanted to use this to get rid of you?"

"If they have so many masters, they don't need to go through so much trouble if they want to get rid of me. ”

"We will continue the investigation in secret, and we will notify Brother Li as soon as there is any trouble. ”

......

Wu Ji was just about to go downstairs, but Luo Yan stopped and said, "Childe, please stay, I implore Childe to go and see Miss, she is still playing the piano these days, I can't persuade her." ”

Wuji walked into Gongsun Yu's room lightly, and saw Gongsun Yu sitting in front of the dresser, frowning lightly, staring at his own shadow in the bronze mirror in a daze, I don't know what he was thinking, the flowers were reflected by the hazy light, soft and delicate, and Wuji's heart couldn't help but move.

"Where has Childe been these days, why didn't you come to see Yu'er?" there seemed to be some resentment in his words.

"I ...... , I went to Ba County to investigate the case, and I only came back today, what does the princess have to order?" asked Wuji.

"It's nothing, it's just that I can't see Childe, and I'm a little flustered in my heart, and I want to talk. ”

"That medicine can only temporarily control the princess's heart, the princess should recuperate, should not be tired, once it deteriorates, it will not be able to be saved. ”

Gongsun Yu said softly: "After taking the decoction prescribed by Gongzi, my body is much better, and Gongzi doesn't have to worry about it." ”

"Princess, don't continue that plan, let's leave Xianyang and go to Huiji, I will do my best to continue." ”

Gongsun Yu got up gently, looked at Wu Barrier with tenderness and said, "Childe said about me, why don't you have your own body?"

Wuji frowned and persuaded: "The princess is different from Zaixia, my body is not up to me, but the princess's body is in her own hands, why are you suffering!"

"Fate is not the same, knowing that you can't do it. ”

Wuji sighed: "This is different, my mother left me two words on her deathbed." Living', I know it's hard and tiring, and I don't know what the value and meaning of living like me is, but after living for so many years, I gradually understand a lot, living should endure, living has hope, I won't gamble with my life, because my life is very short, I will cherish it, my father exchanged his life for my life, it was to let me live a few more days in this world, and I didn't expect me to avenge him, life doesn't exist, what is the meaning of revenge, so I give you these two words, the time God gave me is very short, although it is not easy to live, but to cherish, revenge is okay, but don't gamble with your own life, princess believe me, return to Huiji, buy land and stock up on food, Once the Qin State collapses, as long as the princess gets up, the world will respond, and the Chu State will return to the country day and night, and then General Xiang Liang can lead his troops into Xianyang, so revenge is more meaningful than the princess entering the palace alone to assassinate. ”

After hearing this, Gongsun Yu frowned and was silent for a long time, "It's not that I don't believe in Gongzi's talent, but if this Qin State dies, it will be very difficult, and it will take a long time, and I may not be able to wait for that time." ”

"It won't be too long, and even if I die, it will lead to its demise and clear the way for the princess. ”

"I will listen to Childe's words and live well, it's not too early, Childe has a busy day, and it's time to go back and rest. ”

Wuxian was depressed in his heart, and Zhigong Sun Yu was just perfunctory to him, and every time they met, they always left like this.

......

It was late at night when Wuji and Miaoxin returned to the house, and after learning that Jin Xingzi had already returned, they called Jin Xingzi to the study, and Jin Xingzi took a piece of armor with mercury attached to it and said: " As the little master expected, they were indeed wearing this kind of old armor, and the weapons they used were all made of bronze, which had mercury on them, and was coated with this kind of luminous powder, which was enough to prove that the Lantian incident must have been committed by them, and the bodies were buried in a valley next to Danshui, I searched for three days before I smelled the mercury and found there, and then I followed the instructions of the little master to check the garrisons in various places, and found that several people in each station were transferred, and where they went, did not indicate. ”

Hearing this, Wu Jian pondered: "Who has such great power, actually secretly mobilized so many people, and secretly killed them, where did these old weapons come from, why did they destroy the mercury cart, and what is their purpose?"

......

In the early morning of the second day, Wuxian sent people to search for the group of people carrying the coffin yesterday and finally went there, and he took Jin Xingzi and Miaoxin to Mengfu to find Meng Yi, Meng Yi had already learned about it, but he couldn't find Wuji in the past few days, and they didn't discuss it together.

After listening to Wuji's narration, Meng Yi asked, "Brother Xian is saying that these two things were not committed by the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, but the conspiracy of some people in the court?"

"It shouldn't be bad!" Wu Jian did not inform Meng Yi of Jin Xingzi's discovery, because no one would believe it at this time.

"I don't think it's possible, first, no one in the DPRK and the central government dares to do such a big case, this is to be copied all over the house, and second, the goal of this case is very clear, that is, to cause panic in Daqin, so that the people think that it is the undead, to promote the tyranny of Daqin, to deceive people's hearts, is the virtuous brother thinking too complicated. ”

"Maybe it's as the second brother said, but if the younger brother can't catch the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, what will be the consequences? If so, it's better for the younger brother to resign now, so as not to leave any charges behind. ”

"Brother Xian don't worry, Your Majesty has me by your side, and Your Majesty seems to appreciate Brother Xian, otherwise, how would you put the tiger talisman in Brother Xian's hands, just rest assured to check. ”

Wuji sighed: "This time is definitely not so simple, I'm afraid I will have to disappoint the Holy Hope!"

Meng Yi suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, I haven't seen the eldest prince for a long time, do you know where he went?"

"The eldest prince went to Buxian Mountain to look for a precious medicinal material, 10,000-year-old snow ginseng. ”

Meng Yi was shocked: "Ah, what did he do when he went so far away to look for medicinal herbs in the territory of the foreign tribe, was it to cure the illness of the virtuous brother?"

"No, to save a woman. ”

When Meng Yi heard this, he slapped his thigh and said angrily: "Brother Xian, how can you be so confused, who you can't tell to go when you look for medicinal herbs, Brother Xian won't know who Your Majesty will carry after a hundred years, right?

Wu Barrier said: "The lesson of the second brother is that I was negligent for a while, and I didn't expect him to look for it in person, and now only the flying pigeon passed the book, telling the eldest brother in Yanmen, and asked him to send someone to find it." ”

"Only in this way, how can the eldest prince do such a thing, he is desperate for a woman, if Your Majesty knows about this, he must be angry. Hurriedly wrote a note and ordered someone to pass the book to Meng Tian.
