Chapter 44
He thought for a moment, "Don't worry......, there will always be a time when the truth will be revealed." ”
Su Yuqi said, "Hmm." After Kuizhi's death, I staged a good show of martial fighters fighting in front of King Qi's mansion as promised. After a big gamble, Yunxiang lost, and the people of the entire Tancheng City knew the news. But when will I go to Yunxiang to ask for this bet, no one knows.
The day I went, it was purely on a whim. But when he arrived, Uncle Qi had already made a fuss. In other words, if I don't go that day, someone will lead me there.
What Su Jiajun wants to do is planned by me and Su Jia. It is impossible for Su Jia to betray me, and it can be determined that the other party does not know that I will send the Su family army to get people.
So, what is the ultimate purpose of what happened that day?
Xuan Lin, you say, what would have happened if I hadn't dispatched the Su family army that day? ”
"All the martial artists in King Qi's Mansion will die in the fire, and the father of the prince of Yunxiang, the old prince of Qi, will also die in that fire. If you don't kill Boren, but Boren dies because of you, there will really be a dead bond between you and the prince of Yunxiang. ”
"In this way, Su Qi and Qi are still prey. At the very least, it is also one of the prey. ”
"Perhaps."
Su Yuqi's face was pale, but his eyes were becoming more and more calm, "The other party must have a think tank, and it is very powerful, and it can adjust the plan at any time according to the changes in things." All of my plans may not have been what they expected, but they were able to take advantage of them and adjust their countermeasures in a timely manner.
From this point of view, Brother Chen Wang's suspicion of King Dongqing is not very valid. ”
"But it can't be completely ruled out. He could have had a powerful alliance in charge of him. ”
Su Yuqi said: "What you said is right, there is indeed such a possibility. It seems that it is still not easy to draw conclusions.
The next day, when I went to court, Uncle Qi contacted some officials who opposed me to impeach me. Uncle Qi has been in retirement for many years, even if there is still residual power, it is impossible to entangle so many officials to stand on his side and do something that has no chance of winning.
It can be assumed that someone used Uncle Qi to promote this impeachment action behind the scenes, and even included Uncle Qi's self-immolation, which was also manipulated by someone behind the scenes.
So, what is the purpose of what they want to do with no chance of winning? ”
Cai Ye interjected: "As soon as the impeachment incident came out, you suspected that the emperor wanted to be pro-government and take action to check and balance the power among the courtiers. ”
"It still can't be ruled out that the emperor secretly contacted the ministers." Su Yuqi frowned and pondered.
Zhou Ye smiled lightly: "You are very right. ”
"It is very likely, just like someone took advantage of Uncle Qi, there are also people who use the emperor." Coming to this conclusion, Su Yuqi's heart sank, but his face was already calm, and his thinking became clearer and clearer: "Suppose that the emperor's desire to be pro-government is true, and it is also true that he has contacted the ministers, that is, someone has taken advantage of the emperor's psychology and given a boost from it." But the people behind it also knew that I couldn't fall with one blow, so this was just a small gesture aimed at driving a wedge between me and the emperor.
Of course, these are just inferences and have no factual basis yet.
I turned defeat into victory in the court and achieved my goal, but it also made the emperor even more jealous of my power. As a result, the relationship between the monarch and the minister is no longer harmonious.
As for what my purpose is, it probably doesn't matter to the people behind it. But what I did was to seek skin with the noble families of the world, which was beneficial to them. Alas, Xuanlin, I inadvertently pushed myself into the position of the target. ”
Su Yuqi sighed helplessly.
"Didn't you anticipate the consequences when you first did this? Feeling scared now? Yan Ye's tone was very gentle, but his eyes showed determination.
Su Yuqi laughed at himself sadly: "Afraid? I, Su Yuqi, are still in my mother's womb, and my head is hanging on the waistband of my trousers, even if I want to be afraid, where can I be afraid? ”
Zhou Ye gently held Su Yuqi's hand and said softly: "You are a smart and strong child. ”
Su Yuqi laughed at herself, exhaled lightly, and continued, "Go on." I suspect that the emperor has done a lot of things from this, killing Kuizhi, contacting Uncle Qi to make trouble, and killing Sun Xuewu, if these are true, it is actually reasonable. If this is the end of the matter, I will almost already believe that it is indeed the emperor's doing.
But things are always so unexpected. Maybe the people behind the scenes didn't expect that I, Su Yuqi, had fought hard for the power in my hands all these years, but I said so easily that I would let it go. I was talking with you downstairs about returning the government to the king, and the emperor had an accident the next day.
If all this was done by the emperor, then it would be too abnormal for the emperor to have an accident at this critical time. ”
"It can be seen that some people can't hold their breath." Cai Ye interjected, "I was injured today at Sun Xuewu's grave. ”
Su Yuqi was stunned, "In front of the tomb?" Sun Xuewu has only been dead for two days, and he is going to be buried? You weren't injured because Su Jia went to look for you? ”
Cai Ye sneered and said, "The Sun family's statement is that there will be no auspicious day for the zodiac to be buried in the next month, so we can only be buried in a hurry today." It is not kind to dig people's graves after burial, and it is also troublesome, I can only take advantage of the crowd to create panic and take the opportunity to open the coffin for an autopsy, but I didn't expect the person in the coffin to cheat the corpse on the spot. ”
Su Yuqi's eyes widened in shock.
I have heard of this kind of thing, but I have never seen it, and Su Yuqi has never believed in the things of gods and ghosts. Saying such words from the mouth of Zhou Ye really surprised Su Yuqi.
Zhou Ye seemed to see through Su Yuqi's thoughts, and said: "There is no such thing as cheating corpses in the world, and if there is, it is also artificial." ”
"Artificial." Su Yuqi gritted his teeth and repeated heavily.
"That's a kind of Gu, after it falls on a person, that person will die violently, but that's not the end, this kind of Gu worm is originally a human corpse as a host. The Gu worm absorbs the nutrients of the dead corpse and swells and grows rapidly, and two days after the person dies, it can grow to the point of urging the dead corpse. Those who raise Gu can use the power of Gu worms to control the corpse to do whatever they want. ”
Although Yu Ye's tone was light, when he talked about such a creepy thing, there was still a hint of clarity in his tone.
Su Yuqi listened without saying a word, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.
"That's the way it is, I was scratched by Zhong Gu's corpse when I was fighting with it."
Su Yuqi suddenly worried: "Corpses will have corpse poison, all I use for you are ordinary medicines, your wounds will not be poisoned, right?" ”
"I've dealt with it myself, don't worry." Cai Ye comforted, and there was a hint of solemnity on his pale face, "The Gu worm that fell on Sun Xuewu's body is of the same origin as the Gu in the emperor, but one is used to control the dead and the other is used to control the living. Little prince, you now know how dangerous the emperor will be if I don't go in time, right? ”
Su Yuqi's fists were clenched so violently that he didn't notice anything, gritted his teeth for a long time, and then said: "If it falls into the hands of the master, the master will never spare these sons of bitches!" ”
"Ahem, the little prince is bold, and he scolds people with courage." Zhou Ye teased, relieving the solemn atmosphere in the room.
Su Yuqi really relaxed, his clenched fist gradually loosened, and he exhaled a mouthful of turbidity, and said: "I don't like to scold people, but I have developed this problem on the battlefield, and sometimes I am easy to commit when I am angry." You also know that the soldiers on the battlefield are all rough men, and they are not so particular. ”
"You've done a great job."
A gentle, quiet and resolute smile appeared on his face, this smile was as light as a feather, and like a ray of sunshine, falling on Su Yuqi's heart full of vicissitudes.
In an instant, the world was as warm as early spring.
Su Yuqi pursed the corners of her lips and said, "It's all forced to be helpless." Forget it, let's quickly sort out the mess in front of us. You have to peel back the cocoon to find clues, and you can't always be so passive. ”
"Well, let's go ahead then."
"Xuanlin, did you find anything?" Su Yuqi was almost certain that Cai Ye must have made a new discovery, he had been missing in the palace for so long, how could it be if he hadn't made a new discovery.
"Hmm. It's not a new discovery, either. It just doesn't feel right. ”
"What's wrong?" Su Yuqi immediately woke up.
"In the alchemy room of the national teacher, do you remember the medicine box I opened?"
"Yes." Su Yuqi looked at the bowl, "I also noticed those medicine boxes at that time, but I didn't understand those things, so I could only guess that there was something wrong with them." ”
"That kind of medicinal powder is a good nourishment for raising Gu worms. Later, I searched around, but I didn't find any trace of Gu worms. Therefore, this discovery cannot be used as evidence to accuse the national teacher. ”
The shock in Su Yuqi's heart was beyond words, and the extremes of things must be reversed, but his heart calmed down, "Later, I noticed that when you were treating the emperor for Gu poison, the national teacher was very concerned about the origin of the medicinal powder in your hand, is that the national teacher's thing?" ”
"It's not. It was something that was obtained from the Republic of Mao. ”
Su Yuqi was shocked again.
"Gu raising is prevalent in Sichuan, although the dish family is explicitly forbidden to raise Gu, but close to Zhu Chi, close to ink black, there are still many people who violate the family motto and provoke that kind of thing. Moreover, even if you haven't raised Gu, you know Gu very well. Do you think it's a bit incredible that this antidote comes from Mao Minguo, not Kawakami? ”
Su Yuqi nodded, "Yes." ”
"The rain master only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other. Gu raising did not originate in Sichuan, but in the Mao Republic of China. Tracing back to a few hundred years ago, the ancestors of the dish family brought back the Gu seed from the Mao Republic of China, and this terrifying thing began to multiply in the river, and once reached the level that everyone raised Gu. The ancestor of the Pan family also sensed that it was inappropriate to go on like this, so he began to prohibit Gu cultivation.
Because raising Gu is a very expensive thing, in the Mao Republic of China, where Gu worms originated, because the national strength is not prosperous and the people are weak, this kind of thing is not fed in large quantities.
However, many of the medicines that cure Gu are only available in the Mao Republic of China. The Kawakami family tried to grow it, but for hundreds of years it was unsuccessful.
As for the national teacher's attention to the medicinal powder in my hand, it is because this medicinal powder is something only available to the Maomin royal family. ”
"Xuanlin, who are you?"
After listening to a narration by Pan Ye, Su Yuqi couldn't help but stare at Pan Ye suspiciously.
