59 · Golden Rose
["Didn't Bian Li die in the capital? ”】
It was rainy.
Wudang Mountain was drenched everywhere, and the haggard fallen leaves were lying on the ground, devastated by the raindrops.
Chen Jian leaned against the stone pillar, the rain curtain hung from the corner of the eaves in front of him, and he looked far away, staring at the Xuanjing Hall located on the top of the mountain.
The marble palace became blurred, like a mirage somewhere, it fluttered in the rain, and even its size was uncontrollable, and sometimes, Chen Jian felt that the palace was within reach.
Only the high-level of Wudang, that is, the elders, protectors, and heads of the Xuanjing Palace, can enter, and outsiders like Chen Jian are not even qualified to visit at close range.
Ross gave him a problem.
Chen Jian pondered and meditated, not knowing what reason to use to approach the Xuanjing Palace. There was another thing that puzzled him, since Rose could enter and leave the Xuanjing Hall freely, he should have many opportunities to find the phonograph urn, but why did he let himself do this?
He had asked Rose once, but Rose still smiled and didn't answer.
Chen Jian sighed helplessly.
Suddenly, he saw Cai Gong, and the other party also discovered him.
"Chen Jian, I've been looking for you for a long time. Cai Gong strode towards him, "Why are you here?"
"Hanging out. ”
"It's a shame that you still have the heart to hang out," Cai Gong patted him on the shoulder heavily, "Good news for you, I just heard a shocking secret!"
"What's the secret?"
Cai Gong was quite excited, he forcibly lowered his voice and said, "It's about Bian Li." ”
Chen Jian's eyes lit up: "What do you say?"
"Didn't Bian Li die in the capital? ”
"Golden roses? And roses of this color?"
"No," Cai Gong shook his head, "The Golden Rose represents Xu Zhongheng. ”
"Xu Zhongheng?" Chen Jian didn't react for the first time.
"It's the cousin of the first emperor, Xu Zhongheng, the king of Shenyue!"
Chen Jian remembered this person, and he grabbed Cai Gong's shoulders: "The news is reliable?"
"Reliable!" Cai Gong said, "I know a person whose father is in the capital, and this matter is clearly written in the case file. ”
Chen Jian was impressed by Cai Gong.
"The Golden Rose is a rose made of gold?"
"That's right, it's only about the size of a finger, and the workmanship is so complex and delicate that ordinary craftsmen can't do it. ”
What does it mean that the golden rose appeared in the place where Bian Li died? The golden rose represents Xu Zhongheng, and the people who support Xu Zhongheng are "subversives", which is contrary to the identity of Bian Li's hermit. Will it be the subversive who will leave a token to warn others? But this is too rampant, the subversive faction has been attacked by the orthodox blood of the palace since its birth, and their doing so will undoubtedly make Xu Zhongheng's situation worse.
So, did someone deliberately leave the Golden Rose in order to discredit the subversives?
"There's even more exciting news!" Cai Gong said, "It's also recorded in the dossier." Three years ago, during the period when Bian left Beijing, five important officials of the imperial court were assassinated one after another - this is the most confidential information, you must not tell anyone else. ”
Chen Jian had no time to guarantee anything, and he was shocked to hear the news.
"When the important ministers were assassinated, Bian Li was still alive?"
"That's right, and after Bian Li's death, the assassination stopped. Cai Gong's voice couldn't be lowered, "Golden roses were also found next to the corpses of those important ministers of the imperial court, and it was precisely because of this that Xu Zhongheng was convicted of bullying the monarch and sent to the frontier." ”
What kind of conviction law is this? Forget it, anyway, this incident eventually led Xu Zhongheng to completely withdraw from the battle for imperial power, which can be described as the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Golden Rose ...... Corresponding to the subversive, but this series of things may not be done by the subversive.
Since they supported Xu Zhongheng, they should be very clear about Xu Zhongheng's weak position in the struggle for imperial power, so it is impossible to carry out assassination with great fanfare. It is even possible to speculate that all the Golden Rose bloodshed cases were committed by other factions - this is a complete conspiracy!
Even if the royal family thinks the same thing as me, they would rather believe it and expel Xu Zhongheng and his henchmen.
What a good way to do it...... Chen Jian couldn't help but admire.
How many people in the world can play with the conspiracy? And this conspiracy is so invulnerable.
"By the way, the slain ministers, what faction are they?"
"Factions?"
Chen Jian reacted that the matter of the faction was told to him by Zhiwai.
"Well, how can I say it, do they support the little emperor to inherit the throne?"
"This kind of thing won't be written into the dossier......" Cai Gong said helplessly.
"Yes. ”
"Well, do these things help?"
"Of course. ”
Chen Jian looked at Cai Gong's innocent appearance and couldn't help but worry about his safety: "But you really have to be careful, these are all things related to the secrets of the imperial court." ”
"Don't worry, I'm in control. Cai Gong patted his chest.
He certainly understood how dangerous this thing was. The person who shared this information with him was one of his best friends, and his friend's father was also a tight-lipped person, and they would not reveal it.
"That's good. Chen Jian thought for a while, clapped his hands and said, "Didn't you have a martial arts competition today?"
Cai Gong advanced to the divisional competition with a fifth place finish in the South Division, and today he will compete with the fourth place in the North Division.
"It's over," Cai Gong was a little disappointed when he found that Chen Jian hadn't gone to see him compete, "It's easy." ”
"Yes, Cai Gong!" Chen Jian noticed his depression, so he deliberately raised his voice and said, "The fourth person in the North District is from Shenyan Palace, I thought he was quite powerful before." ”
However, this is also Chen Jian's heart, Shen Yan Gong's exercises emphasize "quiet", which is diametrically opposed to Cai Gong's character, before the competition, Chen Jian also felt that Cai Gong might be a little behind, but he didn't expect him to easily get the opponent.
Chen Jian also suddenly realized that Cai Gong was indeed much worse than himself, but after all, he was the best among his peers, and if he also accepted the training plan of the Gonglian team, maybe his strength would be stronger than himself.
"That's," Cai Gong said with a smile, "but Shenyan Palace is also at that level......"
He talked endlessly about the situation of his martial arts competition, even if Chen Jian didn't see it, he could imagine what happened at that time. He found that Cai Gong was also a good storyteller.
After speaking, Cai Gong said: "Tomorrow is the battle between you and Zhi Cry, prepare well today! Tomorrow Senior Sister will also go to see you compete." ”
"Senior sister, oh, Shen Yile. ”
"Chok-" Hearing Chen Jian's voice so intimately, Cai Gong shook his body, "When did you have such a good relationship with your senior sister." ”
"It's okay......"
The relationship between Chen Jian and Shen Yile is indeed inexplicably cordial, but he has never considered what to do with her, hearing Cai Gong say this, the young man's heart not only ripples, but thinking of Shen Yile's cold face, but speaking gently and warmly, he couldn't help but smile.
When Cai Gong saw Chen Jian's expression, his mind immediately came to his mind: "Could it be that you and Senior Sister-"
"Nothing like that. Chen Jian waved his hand and said, "It's noon, let's go eat." ”
Cai Gonghu looked at Chen Jian suspiciously, feeling that he was weak-hearted.
