Text Chapter 290 The Secret Story of the Hunter (Four Changes!) )
Looking at Chu Luoyi's name that was clearly visible in his hand, he couldn't help but raise his finger and gently caress it, and a touch of complexity flashed in his always calm eyes, which did not dissipate for a long time.
Collecting the extra thoughts in his heart, Ouyang Qiancheng retracted his thoughts.
Contrary to Yun Luoyi, when Chu Luoyi died, this docile woman suddenly changed her appearance, as if in an instant, she inherited all her wisdom and means.
If she is her, then everything has a reasonable explanation, she wants to get the imperial power of Beiyan by any means, what she did... It's revenge on him...
"Contact the elder of the Divine Dragon Sect and ask him to sort out the news of the clans that have existed in the world and give it to me." Ouyang Qiancheng said.
"My subordinates understand."
Ouyang Qiancheng looked at the windblown paper, clutched it tighter and tighter, and finally, let go of it.
A few days later, the elders of the Divine Dragon Sect secretly handed over the news to Ouyang Qiancheng.
Lighting the faint candle flame, Ouyang Qiancheng was alone under the candle flame looking at the news in his hand.
The various clans that have existed are recorded on the pieces of paper, some with clan tokens, some with clan totems, some with clan rumors, and some mysteriously with only one name.
Ouyang Qiancheng looked at them one by one, but when he turned to one, he put down all the others, stunned.
Hunters, who existed thousands of years ago, are ubiquitous, and rumors originated in Nanzhao, with the original intention of hunting defectors, and there is no way to investigate.
Looking at the curved bow pattern with a dragon, Ouyang Qiancheng's hand couldn't help but tremble.
There is a reddish mist in the eyes, this pattern... This pattern....
Suddenly, Ouyang Qiancheng recalled the pattern he had seen in the Chu family's study when he was waiting for Chu Luoyi at the Chu family that day...
At that time, by coincidence, the parchment scroll wrapped around the top of the bookshelf fell down, and the first page was this pattern.
He remembered that he didn't have time to read it carefully, so he was surprised by Luo Yi's father and took the book away.
Although it was only a quick glance, he might not remember it, but now that this pattern appeared in front of him again, the memories of the past were pouring in like a tide.
Even after remembering this incident last time, he vaguely remembered where he had seen this pattern before in addition to seeing it in the Chu family, but after investigating for a long time, there was no news.
Ouyang Qiancheng looked at the few words of the hunter in detail, and the original intention was to hunt the defector...
Defectors .. Defectors...
The papers in Ouyang Qiancheng's hands were scattered for a while, and some fell into the brazier and turned into ashes in an instant...
For the Chu family, what is a defector? Only for the royal family, for Nanzhao, will there be a defection...
The guards on the side only looked at the prince, who had always been steady and undesecrated, seemed to be a little abnormal and flustered today, as if he had been looking for something.
Two hours later, Ouyang Qiancheng finally found the rebellion in Nanzhao thousands of years ago, a rebellion from within.
In order to protect His Majesty Nanzhao at that time, the ancestors of the Chu family suffered heavy casualties, and the huge Chu family was left with only a lonely old man and his grandson.
Looking at it quickly, his fingers couldn't help but tremble, and finally after finding everything, Ouyang Qiancheng knelt on the ground and fell silent.
Yes, the hunter is not owned by the Chu family, but by the Nanzhao royal family, but because of the trust of the original Nanzhao Emperor and the changes over the past thousands of years, the hunter no longer identifies with the Nanzhao royal family, but only recognizes the Chu family who has sowed a monstrous net.
Ouyang Qiancheng walked out of the camp with some lost souls, and the whole person seemed to have lost his soul.
After discovering all this, he suddenly remembered where he had seen this bow pattern before he saw it in the Chu family.
Not elsewhere, it is the Nanzhao Palace.
Memories rolled in like a tidal wave, and he vaguely remembered that at that time, he was still young, and after the death of his mother, he liked to hide in hidden corners and keep silent.
Once, he remembered, he hid between two rows of shelves in the library, and the huge shelves easily covered his small figure.
The sunlight shone obliquely through the crack in the window, and the small figure sat in the corner under the bookshelf, his hands clasped on his knees, hiding himself in a shadow.
With a creak, the heavy wooden door was pushed open, and the sleeping child with tears on his face woke up from his nightmare, kneeling on the ground through the shelf, and looked out of the door with both hands on the shelf.
Emperor Nanzhao, who was like Maitreya Buddha, slowly walked in with two confidant ministers.
The sun was floating, and he could clearly see the dust floating in the air, and he remembered his father's frowning brow.
"Your Majesty . . . This is—" A minister raised his hand and handed a parchment scroll to the then Emperor Nanzhao.
Emperor Nanzhao raised his finger to his mouth, and the minister nodded knowingly and did not say any more.
Through the cracks in the shelves, the young child could see a bow on the parchment.
He had never seen such a delicate bow and arrow, inlaid with precious stones and jewels, different from ordinary bows and arrows, this bow and arrow had a small dragon inlaid at one end, delicate but awe-inspiring.
The voices of several people were so small that Ouyang Qiancheng couldn't hear them clearly, and he had just woken up from a nightmare, so he turned around and continued to hold his knees, as if he didn't exist, burying his head in his knees, and being silent alone.
At night, Ouyang Qiancheng sat alone on the rocks on the bank of the river, the tumbling river water diluting the summer heat and wetting his clothes.
Unexpectedly, the force controlled by Chu Luoyi now turned out to be the force created between the Chu family and the Nanzhao royal family back then, and obviously, according to his memory, his father knew the power of hunters well.
It's just that since the Chu family has been destroyed, why did the hunter's power appear in Chu Luoyi's hands, is it that she is really inextricably linked with the Chu family, or is she Chu Luoyi.
Throwing the stone in his hand into the river one after another, Ouyang Qiancheng couldn't help but think of the death of his mother's clan back then.
He remembered that at that time, his father wanted not to be investigated, but the Chu family held on tightly, and openly presented evidence such as rebellion and rebellion in the court, forcing his father to deal with his mother.
Later, when he learned that his mother and grandfather had been thrown into prison, he ran desperately to beg for mercy like his father.
Ouyang Qiancheng's mind recalled the original scene, and the whole person fell into a trance.
"Father.. Please.. Please, let the concubine go... The mother concubine will not harm her father..."A delicately dressed boy ran into the study room barefoot, his small body hugged the waist of Emperor Nanzhao, tiptoeing, tilting his head, his eyes flashing with tears, with a thick begging.
Emperor Nanzhao supported his body with both hands: "Cheng'er, don't mess around." ”
"Father.. Please.. Please, let your mother go... The mother and grandfather really won't rebel. ”
Although he was not necessarily able to accurately understand the definition of rebellion at that time, he also understood that once he was charged with this crime, there was only one way to die.
Emperor Nan Zhao looked at the stubbornness in the eyes of the child in front of him, and finally slowly squatted down.
The child was closer to his father, because of his proximity, he seemed to be a little relieved, and when he looked closely, he saw that Emperor Nanzhao, who had always been smiling, was a little sad at the moment, his eyes were bloodshot and tired, and his face was covered with a lot of stubble, and he looked embarrassed.
Emperor Nanzhao sighed, grabbed the child's small shoulders with both hands, squeezed out a smile and said: "Cheng'er is obedient, Dad will definitely try his best to rescue your mother and your grandfather, you have to trust Dad." ”
The child nodded, and his originally restless and flustered heart seemed to have become solid and stable because of this powerful arm, and nodded slightly.
At this moment, the little eunuch outside the door hurriedly ran in: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Chu is here." ”
A flash of panic flashed in Emperor Nanzhao's eyes, and he looked at the child in front of him for a quick look around, and finally stuffed him into a one-person high flower bed: "Hide here, don't come out, do you know?" ”
The child nodded a little ignorantly, with a bit of comfort in his eyes, and hid behind the flower bed.
Not long after, the young and handsome Duke of Chu appeared in the courtyard of the Shang Shufang with several ministers: "See Your Majesty." ”
"Lord Chu, please get up quickly." Emperor Nanzhao lifted him up.
"Your Majesty, the rebellion of the noble concubine Niangniang clan is conclusive, the evidence is conclusive, collaborating with the enemy and treason, it is an unforgivable crime, such as the people of today, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, are all waiting for Your Majesty's decision, and please make a decision as soon as possible." Chu Guogong arched his hand, the token on his waist refracted the sun, and Ouyang Qiancheng's eyes hurt.
Emperor Nanzhao's face was full of smiles, and there was a bit of groveling between his words: "Chu Aiqing, this matter is very important, I don't know if I can think about it for a few more days?" And although the concubine may have participated in the rebellion, she has also done her best for Nanzhao on weekdays, and her contribution is indispensable, can she be lightly dismissed? ”
"Your Majesty! The concubines have rebelled, how can you excuse them again and again, and if so, how can you obey the people? I'm afraid that everyone will think that Your Majesty is weak and can be bullied. "Chu Guogong is pressing step by step.
The little child hid behind the flower bed and poked his head out to look at the few people opposite each other in the courtyard, and the flowers on both sides were clustered with endless beauty.
Emperor Nanzhao was speechless for a while: "After all, I am the same concubine..."
"Your Majesty! How can Your Majesty be so indecisive and ignore the country's social affairs for the sake of his children's private affairs? Chu Guogong frowned and said angrily, his momentum was comparable to that of an emperor.
Emperor Nanzhao could only be silent for a while when he was forced to ask, Ouyang Qiancheng hid behind the flower bed and clenched his fists tightly, and there was a strong killing intent hidden in the eyes of the little child.
"Your Majesty, leave this matter to the minister, the minister knows your difficulties, so the minister is fully responsible, and you don't want to interfere anymore." Chu Guogong threw down a sentence and left with his sleeves.
Emperor Nanzhao stood in place and stretched out his hand to Luoliu, but in the end he didn't say anything, squatting on the ground alone, looking very lonely.
Ouyang Qiancheng poked out a small head from behind the flower bed and looked at his father.
Emperor Nan Zhao beckoned, and he walked out cautiously, and Emperor Nan Zhao gently took him in his arms: "Do you think your father is very useless?" ”
The young Ouyang Qiancheng did not speak, nor did he answer, but at that time, he knew that no one could save the lives of his mother and grandfather, and it was also at that time that he knew that his seemingly glamorous father was actually so involuntarily.
Ouyang Qiancheng came back to his senses from his thoughts, but more and more doubts gradually grew in his heart.
After sitting by the river all night, he got up early the next morning and walked back to the main camp.
Most of the soldiers have already arrived, arguing loudly about how to send troops, discussing the mutinous soldiers, involving more people, and constantly testing is mixed with questions.
Ouyang Qiancheng sat on the main seat, lowered his eyes and said, "How is the situation over there in Qingxue?" ”
"The 200,000 troops led by the crown princess were stationed in the area bordering Tanglin and Nanzhao, and after Tanglin was defeated and retreated several times, it has been standing still and has not sent any more troops."
Ouyang Qiancheng bowed slightly, looking at the map on the desktop.
At the beginning, Qingxue was sent to Tanglin, firstly, to ensure the defeat of Beiliuyun, and secondly, to block the large border between Tanglin and Beiyan, otherwise, once Beiliuhai and Beiliuyun joined forces, the land of Tanglin and the remaining one-third of Beiyan would be connected together, and a new territory would be formed, which would be very unfavorable to Nanzhao.
Therefore, the existence of Qingxue is to join forces after blocking the border between Beiyan and Tanglin at all times, and while grabbing the territory of Beiyan, he is waiting for himself to break through Huyong Pass.
Once you break through the Huyong Pass, the army can enter through the Huyong Pass, and then you can make peace with the light snow.
In this way, the two forces of soldiers and horses together can devour the Northern Yan at a propulsive speed, while Tanglin will only advance at the speed of a snail because of the blocking of light snow, and the speed of encroachment on the Northern Yan will only advance at the speed of a snail, so there is no doubt that Nanzhao is the most profitable among the several countries.
It's just that because of the sudden appearance of the hunter, his plan was stopped for a while, and the current pass could not be broken for a long time, let alone attack the Huyong Pass.
If it can't join Light Snow's soldiers and horses for a long time, Light Snow's 200,000 army will be in some danger.
Looking at the next arguing soldier, Ouyang Qiancheng couldn't find a suitable solution for a while, after all, according to the information sent by the Divine Dragon Sect, the hunter's power had been dormant for thousands of years, and it was impossible to tell who would rebel and who was a loyal minister.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, a letter from Your Majesty."
Ouyang Qiancheng took the neatly sealed letterhead, gently turned it around his fingertips for a moment, and slowly tore it open.
The letterhead is clearly written, and the existence of hunters is generally explained, and according to the meaning of Emperor Nanzhao, these traitors all over the country are now the henchmen of the Chu family back then.
"Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty said that if you want to solve the current situation, the queen mother of Tanglin is the key."
Ouyang Qiancheng didn't speak, and others couldn't see his mind clearly.
Tanglin.
"Your Majesty, according to the news that the spies got from Beiyan, those who rebelled were all the queen's mother's people! In Yichen's opinion, the queen mother is from Beiyan, and she is entangled with the new emperor of Beiyan, so she can't be trusted at all! ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, according to the minister's opinion, as long as the queen mother is arrested, there will be no more these rebellious soldiers and traitors, and when the queen mother is in hand, Tanglin will definitely be the first to break through the Northern Yan, and then it will become the most powerful country on the map."
"Enough! It's nonsense! Beiliuhai's face was a little ugly.
In recent days, because the troops of various countries have stopped, and rumors have continued, for a while, everyone has pointed the finger at Luo Luo.
He knew that perhaps the person who was behind all of this was living in the Linglong Palace, as they said, but no matter what, he couldn't point the finger at her.
After getting the news of the main hall, Xiao Liuzi hurriedly relayed the news to Chu Luoyi.
"Master, those ministers are beating your mind again."
Chu Luoyi lowered his eyes and was silent, and he didn't speak for a long time.
On the table in front of him was a map of the world, which was originally divided into four parts, but now it has been divided, and the territory of the territory is changing every day.
"How are the various forces doing now?" Chu Luoyi asked.
"Ouyang Qiancheng seems to have been investigating the secrets of the Chu family back then, and the Shenlong Sect has been in contact with Beiliuxue a few times in private, and all countries are temporarily immovable, because of the relationship between Butterfly Dance, the King of Xiangjiang is temporarily submissive to Beiliuxue." Xiao Liuzi quickly reported the current situation.
"How's the Hunter's power?"
"Recently, the movement has been very large, and a third of the power has basically been exposed." Xiao Liuzi's expression was a little grim.
A third is by no means a small number, which means that it will take hundreds of years to re-install these hidden pieces, and it also means that the hunter has lost countless eyes and ears.
"Master, this is sent to you by Beiyan." Xiao Liuzi held a brocade box more than half a meter long in both hands.
Chu Luoyi slowly opened the brocade box, and a silver curved bow glowing with cold moonlight lay quietly in the brocade box.
Chu Luoyi slowly raised his hand, took out the curved bow, and held it in the palm of his hand, and the cold touch instantly spread to every corner of his body, making people's spirits lifted.
Xiao Liuzi looked at the curved bow and said slowly: "Presumably what Taishi Jiang means is that Beiyan is already ready to go, and as long as the master gives an order, he will obey all the orders of the master." ”
Chu Luoyi gently hooked the corners of his lips: "Your brain is getting brighter and brighter." ”
Xiao Liuzi smirked twice and scratched his head, the greenness in his eyes in the past had faded in the smoke of life and death and war again and again, and became mature and steady.
Chu Luoyi put the bow back into the brocade box and said, "The hunter has been doing a good job assisting Beiyan in counterattacking. ”
Xiao Liuzi was stunned for a moment, and then lowered his head a little embarrassed, he just thought that it would be a pity if all the forces were exposed, so he thought about using the least forces to cause the biggest riot, which is the so-called discord.
Nowadays, the ministers of various countries do not trust each other, and they have been unable to send troops for a long time, which has played a double effect with half the effort.
Chu Luoyi walked out of the Linglong Hall and went straight to the West Garden.
Standing on the side of the gate of the West Garden, Chu Luoyi quietly looked at the people on the pillar, Bei Liuyun, you have been decadent for so long, tell me, how long will it take, how long will you wait.
In just ten days, the person under the pillar lost a lot of weight, the bandaged wound did not break open, and the blood gradually dried up, from red to purple, and from purple to black.
Chu Luoyi walked forward slowly, and the guards glanced at each other and did not stop them.
