Regarding the imprisonment of the four princes by the Scarlet King, officials of all sizes in the court and the central government discussed a lot.
Many people even handed over the fold, and bitterly said that King Chen Scarlet should not be merciful and let the tiger return to the mountain.
However, some people have a different view on this, thinking that the Scarlet King's move is more in line with the way of being a king.
Anyway, for a while, all the voices of doubt disappeared. Ling Xiaotian mercilessly slaughtered the four princes' henchmen.
Although many people have been implicated in this way, the most indispensable thing in the DPRK is the officials, and Ling Xiaotian's vigorous purge has given many people who were previously unwilled to have a bright future.
Soon, there was a good reputation in the court that the scarlet king knew people and made good use of them.
Everything has fallen into place, but the Scarlet King has not sat on the emperor's seat for a long time, not only that, but even the title has not changed.
Some courtiers persuaded him several times, but all of them were rejected by Ling Xiaotian on the grounds that the emperor had not yet entered the imperial mausoleum.
The raid of the National Teacher's Mansion is also going smoothly, and Ghost Face will enter the palace every day to report specific matters to Ling Xiaotian.
"I found four secret rooms, but there was no trace of the national teacher." Ghost Face said.
"What else did you find?" Ling Xiaotian asked. From the beginning, he didn't think that the national teacher would hide in the national teacher's mansion, and now the raid is just to get more clues.
"Most of them are books related to alchemy, as well as various medicinal materials and incense materials...... There's something strange about it...... though," Ghostface said, taking out a scroll and placing it on the table.
Ling Xiaotian opened the scroll.
I saw a woman standing under a tree painted on it, smiling, and her face was seven points like Su Baitong.
Ling Xiao stood up suddenly, "Where did you find this painting?" ”
"A secret room." Ghost Face said.
Ling Xiaotian stared at the painting, his eyes shining like torches. It was as if he was going to make a hole in the painting.
Just when Ghost Face thought that Ling Xiaotian was about to get angry, he suddenly heard him say "Huh" and leaned over to approach the painting.
"Do you think you've seen this ...... somewhere?" Ling Xiaotian pointed to the woman in the painting.
Ghostface looked down.
The woman in the painting has a necklace around her neck with a pendant on it.
Ghostface shook his head, "My subordinates have never seen this thing. ”
Ling Xiaotian fell into deep thought. Where exactly had he seen this pendant......
Scarlet King's Mansion.
Compared with the chaos in the court, the Scarlet Palace's mansion is unusually peaceful.
Su Baitong has a very leisurely life every day, His Royal Highness Ten has been in the house a few times, and brought a lot of books to Eleven, Eleven either reads books or practices swords every day, and his life is even busier than her.
Early this morning, Su Baitong had just had breakfast when he saw Huixiang hurriedly running in, "Princess, Prince Chu asks to see you." ”
Su Baitong was stunned, Chu Zimo actually came to Kyoto?
"Where is my brother now?"
"It's already in the front yard." Hui Xiang said, because Su Baitong's existence is still a secret to the outside world. Therefore, people who come and go to the Scarlet Palace's mansion must go through strict investigation before they can be released.
"Please."
A short time later, a strange young man came in from outside, wearing a plain robe lined with white gauze.
Su Baitong was different, and suddenly saw the boy raise his hand and wipe it on his face.
A thin mask of human skin fell, revealing a familiar face.
"What, I don't know my little sister when I dress up like this?" Chu Zimo said with a smile.
Su Baitong was helpless, "Why did the righteous brother come to Kyoto." ”
Chu Zimo sat down unhurriedly. "It's not because I promised to help you go to Qi to find out the news."
Su Baitong was surprised, "Brother Yi won't go in person...... Qi country, right? ”
At that time, the two countries were at war, and she asked Chu Zimo to help her find out about the disappearance of a national teacher in Qi for decades, but she didn't expect Chu Zimo to go in person.
"It's a bit difficult to do, and I have to make a trip myself." Chu Zimo took out a folding fan from his waist and shook it gently, "If the little sister feels that she can't go, it is better to let the child in your current belly help your brother preside over the Treasure Building in the future." ”
Although Chu Zimo had also mentioned this matter before, Su Baitong never really thought about it.
This was her first child with Ling Xiaotian, how could she give this child to someone else.
"The child has not yet been born, and I don't know if it is a boy or a girl." Su Baitong said.
Chu Zimo didn't care, "It doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman, as long as it's your child." ”
Su Baitong was silent.
Seeing this, Chu Zimo hurriedly said, "I'm not in a hurry in advance, I'll tell you the news I inquired about in Qi Country first." ”
Su Baitong ordered Huixiang to send refreshments in, and then sent all the people in the house out.
"When the national teacher mysteriously disappeared in Qi State, there was indeed a rumor on the Senyu side that a saint of their tribe saved a stranger, because the person was too seriously injured, so he hid him in the mountains, but the Senyu clan has rules and does not allow foreign men to enter, so the patriarch ordered someone to arrest the man after discovering this matter, and prepared to be executed according to the rules of the clan."
"The man...... Is it a national teacher? Su Baitong couldn't help but ask.
Chu Zimo shook his head, "I just inquired about these things, because I couldn't find any witnesses, so you can only listen to the story first." ”
Su Baitong quieted down and continued to listen to Chu Zimo.
"The man was locked up by the patriarch of the Moriyu clan and was about to be executed, but the holy woman secretly released him, and the two escaped together in the night."
Elope!
Two words suddenly flashed in Su Baitong's mind.
"And then?" Su Baitong asked.
"How could they have escaped?" Chu Zimo said, "Naturally, she was caught back, but the saint was determined to go with the man, and as a result, the two were forced to the cliff and jumped to their deaths." ”
Su Baitong was dumbfounded.
Is the man in the story really a national teacher?
I didn't expect him to do such a crazy thing when he was young.
However, thinking of the women of the Senyu clan that he killed in order to refine the elixir of life, as well as all kinds of terrifying methods, she couldn't help but wonder if he would really be so affectionate?
There was no way for her to associate the national teacher with the man in the story.
Chu Zimo chatted with her for a while, and then quietly left.
Su Baitong fell into deep thought alone.
She believed that this story was true, and in this way, it could explain the origin of the female corpse that Qinglinghua had stolen, and even the pendant on the female corpse could match the number.
If they were forced to jump off the cliff by the Patriarch of the Mori Bath back then, then the key to the matter is what happened after they jumped.
Why did the national teacher return to Dayan alive, and where did he learn alchemy and magic from again, is it really immortality that he has been pursuing? The rest of the perimeter is dead.
Faintly, a bold conjecture came to her mind.
No matter who it is, if he loses his beloved, will he still pursue immortality?
