Zhao Mengqing picked up the book and handed it to me, and said in a deep voice: "When I saw this, I had a similar reaction as you. ”

"When did you know that Qin Buxian was a hater?" I asked him.

"Back then, the emperor found me and said that Qin Buxian often interfered in his private affairs with Donglizhi in the palace, so he was going to send her to my Ministry of Rites as a waiter, and asked me what I thought. I didn't think about it that much at the time, I just thought that a eunuch, even if it was a eunuch with picturesque eyebrows and a fairy-like body, in terms of the ancestor's etiquette, should not be mixed with the celebrant to serve as a waiter in the six departments, so I refused. Wei Tian told me that Qin Buxian was not a eunuch, but a daughter, and he was afraid that I would be puzzled, so he gave me a bottom, saying that he had let Qin Buxian be the eunuch of the palm seal, so that it was convenient to grow hatred for him. That's how I learned about Qin Buxian's body of hate, and I also had a general understanding of hate. ”

My fingers covered the page again, and the lines of words caught my eyes, and my fingertips still trembled uncontrollably.

Zhao Mengqing continued: "When I first saw this page, I wasn't sure if Qin Buxian was this kind of specially created hater, but I still felt that these few lines were shocking, so I didn't want to do anything after reading it, I just wanted to burn this book so that others would no longer know about it." But when I thought that there was only one book in the world, I always felt that I should keep it. So I made up my mind to do my best to protect the book from others before I died, and when I was dying, I burned it and went to my grave again. Who would have thought that the first volume of this book ......"

"Unexpectedly, the first volume of this book became popular in Dijing." The clues that were messing up in my mind were cleared out one by one, and some speculations sprouted in my mind, so I said, "There are even people who deliberately printed this scroll and placed it in the streets and alleys of the market to make it famous." ”

Zhao Mengqing's eyebrows jumped: "Your Highness's guess is very reasonable!" ”

Not only does it make sense, but I'm afraid it's true.

I said to Zhao Mengqing: "You think carefully about how you saw this volume." ”

He was silent for a while, and then replied seriously: "One day I went to Dijing West City, and accidentally entered the Pingyulou Storytelling Hall to listen to the book for a while. His Highness said that someone might have deliberately printed this scroll and placed it in the streets and alleys of the market to make it famous, which I think is very correct, because there were many books scattered on the ground at that time, although I have not looked through them one by one, but those books may be the first volume of "Seven Kingdoms Gods and Warriors". ”

Diagonally opposite the Yulou Storytelling Library, is Chen Lanting's Zhuangyuan Book House, and behind the Book House is the book printing workshop where Cheng Yu is hiding.

What a coincidence.

More coincidental things are still to come, Zhao Mengqing, who finished telling his experience, asked me melancholy: "Your Highness, how did you see this volume?" ”

A bitterness welled up from my lungs to my throat, and I clutched the scroll, and the back of my hand was covered with green tendons.

"The first time this king saw this book was in the cloister on the top floor of the library building, and when he met you, he saw it from your hand, and this time it should be accidental. But the next few times should have been designed. ”

For example, when the king visited Xu Guangguang at night, he found that the scroll in his hand happened to turn to the cover, and the title of the book "Seven Kingdoms Gods and Strange Spirits" was clear to me at a glance;

He even made a short introduction, so that I could take a look: "Yes, this book was only published in the last year, and it is very popular in the market, talking about seven large-scale wars between the seven kingdoms of Yu, Jin, Nan, Ning, Qiong, Qi, and Liang. However, the subordinates thought that since it was a war, there was something to learn from victory and defeat, so the subordinates came to take a look. ”

For example, when I arrived at Cheng Yu early the next morning, Cheng Yu still had the book "Seven Kingdoms Gods of War Strange" in her arms, and when she took her blood, she even watched it with relish and ignored the pain;

For example, later, I went to find Cheng Yu alone, after many days, she was still reading this book, and after knowing that I hadn't read this book, she took the initiative to recommend it to me: "You go back and read this book "Seven Kingdoms Gods and War Spirits", although I don't know who compiled it, but it should be useful to you, you should borrow it and take a look, but the next volume is a little difficult to find, in the palace library, you can figure it out yourself." ”

It was because the people around him were reading it that the king went back to the palace that day, read it at night, and read the book in one go.

Only now do I understand that those things are not coincidences, I am afraid that Xu Guangguang and Cheng Yu deliberately designed them for me.

After telling Zhao Mengqing all the causes and consequences, Zhao Mengqing was very shocked: "Their intentions are so clear, couldn't His Highness see it in the first place?" ”

I smiled bitterly: "The so-called 'I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain'." At that time, I was full of guilt and trust in them, how could I detect that this was deliberately arranged, as they said, I just thought it was a very popular book, and everyone was reading it. ”

"If you follow this idea, the first volume of this book is likely to be ......"

"It is likely that it was printed in large quantities in the bookstore behind the Zhuangyuan Book House." I had a headache, thinking of the fact that they had been eyeing Qin Buxian a long time ago, and thinking of the sentence deliberately left at the end of the last volume, "This is the end of the first volume, and there is only one in the whole world, hidden in the library of the Imperial City of the Emperor of Jinguo", I felt panicked, and I wanted to find out the person who wrote this book as soon as possible, but I couldn't figure it out at all.

"I don't know which bastard wrote this immoral book." I scolded.

At this time, Zhao Mengqing, who had been pondering, put forward a new idea: "I don't know if Your Highness has noticed that the first and second volumes of this book are completely different in terms of style, structure, and story. The first volume also talks about some things about marching and fighting, which can be deducted from the above questions, and nine-tenths of the second volume is about the matter of hate, and only the last two or three chapters are written about the former war between the Southern Kingdom and the Western Liang, and the use of hatred to win more with less. ”

These words reminded me that I was confused: "Could it be that the upper and lower volumes of this book are written by different people?" ”

Zhao Mengqing also had a sense of sudden realization, nodded and said: "There is no such possibility, or, this book originally only had the second volume, and the first volume was deliberately written by someone, intending to guide everyone to discover the hatred technique hidden in the next volume, and the unique talent of the hateful person." ”

I followed his speculation and thought about it, and found that this idea was very reasonable: "This next volume may indeed be only one, this book should be a secret that the immortal family cannot pass on, and finally I don't know how to put it into the library of the palace - this kind of place that not everyone can see, so someone wrote the first volume, attracting everyone's attention to the library building, intending to let people bring the book out - Xu Guangguang and Cheng Yu have secretly entrusted this king, but you took it away in advance." ”

"Your Royal Highness think about it from the source again," Zhao Mengqing looked at me with a tangled expression, "In the whole world, except for the royal family and clansmen, who can enter the library building, they can only go down, and it was the emperor who gave permission to the next one." But there is no way I can put this book in the library, and the only child of the royal family is His Royal Highness besides the Emperor. If it was His Royal Highness who hid it, it would be better to say, if it was the emperor who put it in the library building, then he might have known Qin Buxian's secret a long time ago. ”

I muttered: "If Wei Tian had known Qin Buxian's identity a long time ago, if he had planned to make Qin Buxian a container for his lifespan, if he had planted hatred for Dongli Zhi from the beginning, it would have been a cover to lead Qin Buxian to the Imperial Capital of the Jin Kingdom......"

According to this book, the founding ancestor of the Immortal Sect was the one who found the immortality technique for the First Emperor, but in the end, he did not tell the First Emperor about the method of immortality, but retreated to the mountains and forests, and did not ask about the world, which shows that he was also afraid that he would be made into an immortal who accumulated lifespan, not to mention ...... Qin Buxian.

I was a little desperate, looked at Zhao Mengqing and said, "Can you confirm whether Wei Tian knows the content of this book?" ”

Zhao Mengqing immediately refused: "I can't test it, what if the emperor hasn't read this book and wants to read it when he hears me mention it?" ”

He has a point.

I drew three dark lines on the scroll with my fingers and preached to Zhao Mengqing: "Now, I have basically determined that Cheng Yu and Xu Guangguang know the content of this book, otherwise they would not have printed this book on a large scale, and they would not have tried their best to lead me to see it, and at the same time tried their best to make me and Qin Buxian turn against each other, so the people on their line are ready to make a move against Qin Buxian;

The second line is Wei Tian's side, I can't figure out what kind of purpose he has for Qin Buxian, but Qin Buxian has drunk the hatred seed made by his hatred silk. Therefore, even if Wei Tian has not read this book and has no intention of making Qin Buxian into a container, as long as the time comes, Qin Buxian will be targeted and hated by him, and the last volume is so popular, Wei Tian will see the first volume and want to read the next volume on the day he can't keep it;

As for the third line......"

I looked up at him, very pious, almost wanted to stake all my net worth and life, and only begged to give Qin Buxian a protection: "Meng Qing, are you willing to stand on this line with this king?" No matter what, this king wants to send Qin Buxian out of Jinguo. ”
