Chapter 218: Honest Meeting
Tian Ji and I opened the cabinet and saw a sack inside, the sound came from the sack, we dragged the sack out of the cabinet, and after opening it, we were surprised to find that it was Ye Jiuqing.
His mouth was stuck with the seal, and it was also a surprise to see us, I quickly loosened the rope on Ye Jiuqing's body, Ye Zhiqiu took off the seal on his mouth, and threw himself into Ye Jiuqing's arms and burst into tears.
Ye Jiuqing estimated that he hadn't been close to Ye Zhiqiu for a long time like now, and he couldn't react for a while, and his hand hovered for a long time before gently stroking her back: "It's okay, dad is fine, don't cry." ”
I have too many words that I need to find answers from Ye Jiuqing, but now that I see that he is safe and sound, I suddenly don't know where to ask, as if as long as he is safe, everything else is no longer important.
"You guys? Why are you here? After Ye Jiuqing comforted Ye Zhiqiu, he looked at us blankly.
This should have been me asking him, Ye Jiuqing stood up and rubbed his forehead, recalling that after he received the letter at home, he rushed to Qiugang, and then was attacked by someone and fainted, and when he woke up again, he saw us.
Listening to Ye Jiuqing's memories, we looked at each other, it has been a few months since he was attacked, and Ye Jiuqing has no idea what happened during this time, but he saw us with mixed feelings, just wanted to say something, looked around, Ye Jiuqing's face suddenly changed greatly.
"Here...... Here is 117 ......"
Ye Jiuqing stopped abruptly halfway through speaking, looking at his expression with some remorse, it was estimated that he blurted out on impulse and said something that shouldn't let us know.
This time, everyone didn't make a sound, they all looked at Ye Jiuqing silently from the side, he hesitated, slowly turned his head, and his eyes swept around our faces, Ye Jiuqing is such a smart person, he quickly realized something, and sat down on the stool in a dejected manner: "You guys...... You all know it. ”
I suddenly realized, Du Yi said that the purpose of everything he did was actually very simple, just to let someone be honest in front of me, the person Du Yi said should be Ye Jiuqing, in fact, if it wasn't for Du Yi, I really don't know how long Ye Jiuqing would hide me, now that we are in the underground base of the 117th Bureau, presumably Ye Jiuqing also knows that he can't hide it.
"I didn't want to hide it from you......" Ye Jiuqing sighed heavily. I've been through so much on the cusp of the storm, and the more I know about some things, the more insecure I become. ”
"The general is gone." My voice is very calm, there is no resentment or complaint, no matter what purpose Ye Jiuqing conceals from me, but I have always remembered the kindness of nurturing for more than ten years, and asked myself, Ye Jiuqing is worthy of me.
"The general didn't come with you this time?" Ye Jiuqing still didn't understand the meaning of my words.
"General, he's gone." I say it again in an accentuated tone.
Ye Jiuqing nodded, suddenly stunned, Huo stood up: "He, where did he go?" ”
"Uncle Wei is gone......" Ye Zhiqiu burst into tears and choked up everything that happened.
Ye Jiuqing heard that the general gave up his life, his fingers trembled, and the whole person seemed to age a lot in an instant, closed his eyes for a long time without a sound, only a line of old tears dripping from his cheeks: "When he leaves, he, does he have something to say?" ”
"The general said let's rescue you, let me help convey it, he tried his best to hold on until the last moment, so that you don't worry, he went first, and when he got below, he waited for you." I felt bad and tried not to cry.
When Ye Jiuqing heard this, the whole person was in tears, his body shook so badly that he almost didn't stand firm, but fortunately he was supported by Tian Ji, Ye Jiuqing wiped his face: "I, Ye Jiuqing, have asked myself all my life to be worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth, but in the end, I hurt my brother." ”
Beating Xiao Ye Jiuqing is a man who stands up to the sky and the earth in my heart, and the person who does not frown on the neck of the knife stand, now he is crying like a child, and every time he says a word, he slaps him heavily in the face, and it can be seen that he is really hurt.
"If you had said it earlier, the general wouldn't have ......" I couldn't go on, I didn't know what tone to use for the old man in front of me.
"Dad, what the hell do you know that you didn't tell us?" Ye Zhiqiu grabbed his hand and asked.
"Shopkeeper Ye, so far, we all know what we should know, and if we don't know, I hope you can say it, Uncle Wei even took his life to save you, if you have to hide it again, maybe something will happen later." Gong Jue said.
Ye Jiuqing calmed down for a long time, nodded silently and looked at us again: "I said, I will tell you everything I know, the matter has been said since forty years ago......"
"No, start with your name." Du Yi's voice came.
"Who are you?" Ye Jiuqing looked at Du Yi with a very strange and surprised expression.
"This is the base of Bureau 117, you used to be a person of Bureau 117, you should know that the secrets of Bureau 117 will not be leaked, and it will not be a small person who can know the existence of Bureau 117, since I can know, it means that I also know about you." Du Yi looked directly at Ye Jiuqing and smiled calmly. "I've worked hard to make you tell the truth, and if you want to say it, why don't you say it all."
"You're not from the 117th Bureau, if so, I should know you." Ye Jiuqing's gaze returned to sharpness and calmness.
"It doesn't matter if I'm not, I know it's all fine." Du also said.
Du Yi is not a person from the 117th Bureau, but he knows so many confidential things, listening to the conversation between him and Ye Jiuqing, Du Yi seems to know Ye Jiuqing very well.
"I don't actually have the surname Ye." Ye Jiuqing withdrew his gaze from Du Yi and hesitated for a moment, his voice was low.
Yes!
Ye Zhiqiu and I were shocked almost at the same time, the most familiar and close person around us, after so many years, we didn't even know his real name.
"My surname is Peng." Ye Jiuqing said.
I remembered that when Ye Jiuqing went to Qiugang, he received a letter with a short sentence on it.
The actress is lovesick and bitter.
In the end, we deciphered this sentence, it was actually a Peng character, Ye Jiuqing said his real surname, and we also understood why he went out in such a panic at that time, because the secret he had been hiding was revealed, and he wanted to go to Qiu Gang to see who left this letter.
Ye Jiuqing started from forty years ago, it was about Kunlun Jinque, he had already told us before, he didn't hide this paragraph, he only remembered that he had been to Golmud according to the invitation, but when he woke up, except for an injured leg, he couldn't remember anything else.
I believe that Ye Jiuqing did not hide it from us in this matter, so I asked him seriously: "Think about it, can you still remember, who recruited the twelve of you back then?" ”
"I can't remember, I don't have the slightest impression." Ye Jiuqing shook his head after trying to recall. "If you hadn't shown me that photo, I wouldn't have known in my life, it turns out that I have been to Kunlun Jinque."
I took out another photo I found from Ling Xiao Pavilion's notes, half of which had Ye Jiuqing on it, I put it in front of him, and then put the other half together, pointing to the person standing in the middle: "This person is the person who recruited you to Kunlun Jinque back then." ”
Ye Jiuqing put the photo in front of him, looked at it and was shocked, buried his head lower for a long time, and looked at me in surprise: "You? It's you? ”
"No, it's not me, it's someone who looks exactly like me." I said to Ye Jiuqing solemnly. "Forty years ago, this person recruited you to Kunlun Jinque, and forty years later, you asked me to find the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace, don't you think it's weird about the whole thing?"
Ye Jiuqing was still looking back and forth between the photo and my face, I could understand the shock, the first time I saw this photo, my reaction was as strong as his: "But, but I'm not impressed at all?" ”
I can understand this, we have been to the Temple of the Ancestral God, but now I am the only person who can remember everything that happened in it, by the way, there is also a mysterious Wen Ru, maybe Ye Jiuqing is the same as the palace lord, that memory was bizarrely erased, this can also be confirmed from Xue Xinrou's grandfather Xue Shuqiao.
I continued to ask Ye Jiuqing what happened later, and he told us that after returning from Golmud, he regretted that he could not finally find the rumored Moon Palace Nine Dragon Fang, but after his leg injury was healed, he gradually forgot about it, and then when he left Gusu, he met Ling Ran, and the two became confidants of each other at first sight, and at the same time, he met a woman in Gusu Ling's house that he could not forget for the rest of his life, Ling Xi.
This period of the past is the same as what Ling Ran told us, Ling Xi did not hesitate to give up the position of the sect master of the Ling family for Ye Jiuqing, and wandered the world with Ye Jiuqing, at that time, Ye Jiuqing was young and frivolous, and he had already made a name for himself in the tomb robbery business, he wanted to make a name for himself, and Ling Xi followed silently even if he didn't approve of it.
But in the end, something happened, Ye Jiuqing was arrested by mistake, and was imprisoned with Ling Xi, in that year, it was a capital crime to be caught robbing the tomb.
"Before the execution, someone came to see me, and that person was your father, Gu Yuanshan." Ye Jiuqing looked at me and said. "That was the first time I saw him, but now that I think about it, he doesn't seem to be a stranger to me, maybe he remembers that forty years ago, we went to Kunlun Jinque together, and he said that he could save us out, but he must listen to his command in the future."
"Does he know you?" I frowned, why couldn't the twelve people who had been to Kunlun Jinque recall that memory, but my father was the only one?
"I don't know, I didn't think that I knew him at all, since someone is willing to save my life, of course I will listen to what he says, not to mention that even if I don't think about myself, I have to think about Ling Xi."
"And then?" Ye Zhiqiu asked.
Ye Jiuqing continued to say that after he and Ling Xi were rescued by Gu Yuanshan, they joined the 117th Bureau, and Ye Jiuqing also learned about Kunlun Jinque for the first time in the 117th Bureau, but the people in the 117th Bureau in that place did not know the exact location, only knew that this relic might be related to the Nine Dragons of the Moon Palace.
Ye Jiuqing's pursuit has always been not wealth, but fame, and what place like the 117th Bureau is more suitable for him to show his strength, and Ling Xi always thinks that the things that the 117th Bureau has come into contact with should not be known to them, so he has been persuading Ye Jiuqing to stay away, but Ye Jiuqing did not listen to Ling Xi's advice, but recommended Ling Ran to Gu Yuanshan.
It didn't take long for the Vientiane Divine Palace to be discovered, and the 117th Bureau quickly intervened and took over, Ling Ran and Ling Xi quickly realized and discovered that this relic may be related to the ancestors of the Ling family, this is the secret that the Ling family has been guarding, Ling Ran and Ling Xi both advised Ye Jiuqing not to touch their fingers, but the Vientiane Divine Palace is clearly related to the Nine Dragon Boat of the Moon Palace, and there is nothing that can make Ye Jiuqing more excited than finding the treasure ship that has been rumored for thousands of years.
The 117 bureau relied on Ye Jiuqing's ability to rob the tomb, and quickly excavated the entrance, and then after entering the Vientiane Divine Palace, they found that the secret hidden in this palace was beyond imagination, Ling Xuan, the ancestor of the Ling family who had been sleeping for thousands of years, was actually still alive, Ye Jiuqing found himself for the first time that he finally approached the secret of the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace, but unfortunately in the Tianquan Palace, Gu Yuanshan did not let Ye Jiuqing, Ling Ran and Ling Xi enter, so they didn't know anything about the content of the murals and inscriptions inside.
What happened later, we have already learned in Yang Xun's notes and the images taken, the people who entered the Vientiane Divine Palace were attacked by the scorpion group and the blood-tailed emperor scorpion, and when retreating, Ling Xi was seriously injured and was dying, and Ye Jiuqing regretted not being at the beginning.
Ling Ran thought that Ye Jiuqing insisted on going his own way and eventually harmed Ling Xi, so after leaving the Vientiane Divine Palace, he angrily broke off with Ye Jiuqing, and after Ye Jiuqing learned from the pain, he realized that since Ling Xuan, the ancestor of the Ling family, could survive for a thousand years, and after researching the 117th Bureau, it was found that it was related to the platform where Ling Xuan was sleeping.
Therefore, Ye Jiuqing secretly took one of the tables from the 117th bureau and put Ling Xi on it, so that Ling Xi's body could really be kept alive all the time.
Since then, he has been incognito and changed his name to Ye Jiuqing.
"Ling Xuan can survive for a thousand years, there must be a reason, since she can live for so long, I firmly believe that Ling Xi can be rescued, so I have been chasing the clues of the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace." Ye Jiuqing paused when he said this. "This thought and idea, as time passed, slowly became smaller, until I met a person ......"
