The prince staggered to his feet, burped a wine, and then staggered to his bed: "Wine is really a good thing, it can forget and relieve sorrows." Murong Nuo, I'm waiting for you and Baili Jiu to kill him and avenge me. ”

Then he lay down on his back on the bed, tilted his head, and fell asleep again.

Noah still had something to ask, so she shouted twice, but she didn't answer. Bailijiu tugged at her hand: "That's it, let's go." ”

Noah could only reluctantly withdraw, and the two left the garden, and they were both silent and silent.

After a while, Noah spoke: "You say, is what the prince said credible?" ”

"The stakes are very high, and no one dares to affirm anything without evidence, especially since the two have always had a rift, and it cannot be ruled out that the prince intends to kill people with a knife. However, I think what he said also has some truth, and the third prince is indeed extremely suspicious. We can consider this as one of the directions of investigation. ”

Noya said softly: "No matter what, I will not give up the investigation, I will not give up in such a daze, I must personally confirm his sins before I can feel at ease and comfort my parents' spirits in the sky." ”

Bailijiu nodded: "In the next two days, when the situation in Beijing is more stable, I will tell the emperor, we will go to Handan City together, and start the investigation with the case in Handan City, and see if there are any fish that have slipped through the net, maybe we can find some clues." ”

Noah said categorically: "I have a hunch that the Pavilion Master is now by our side, lurking, vigilantly watching our every move. It's just that I can't sense where he is or who he will be. ”

Baili Jiu took her hand: "The other party will never give up willingly, it is only a matter of time before the horse's feet are exposed, so don't worry too much." ”

Towards the end of the month, news came from Handan City, saying that the renovation of the mausoleum was nearing completion, and the tomb door could be closed only after Guan Luo went to inspect the organs in the tomb.

The situation in Beijing has stabilized, Baili Jiu entered the palace to ask the emperor for resignation, and handed over all the affairs of the military to Sour Xiucai and others to perform their duties, and Nuoya collected the salute, still bringing ingots, Bingluo and Guanluo, and a few people set off for Handan City lightly.

In the whole cemetery, it has been all different from the past, the mausoleum built according to the regulations of the Hou Ye is magnificent, the white jade is laid out, the jade is carved, the stone lion is shocked, and the carved column is cypress. Noah felt a little relieved in her heart.

For the mechanism in the tomb, Noya is not proficient, following behind Guan Luo, patrolling around, but feeling the mystery, breathtaking, especially the ecstasy ladder, if it is not for Guan Luo in front of the way, Noya really can't walk into the tomb.

The only fly in the ointment is that he did not follow Master Tian's advice at the beginning, and expanded the tomb too much, and the inside was too empty, not like a tomb, but more like a storage room. In particular, the mines in the nearby mountains have been dug up like spider webs, and in the long run, if there is a collapse of the ground or a large earthquake as Master Tian said, this burial chamber may not be strong enough.

Master Tian probably also felt that the tomb was too empty, so he specially asked the stonemason to carve four huge stone statues standing in the four corners of the tomb.

Everyone inspected again, there were deficiencies that needed to be reworked, Master Tian took notes with paper, and explained them to the workers one by one, just waiting for Guanluo to check the organs, he asked someone to see an auspicious day of the zodiac, put the coffin into the burial, close the tomb door, offer three sacrifices, and kneel to worship.

Now that Huang Dexing's family property has been confiscated, poor Xia Zhi has nowhere to go, and he is disabled, and he has no support for the rest of his life. Noah is in charge and takes her to the mountain, and someone is waiting for her, which can be regarded as a home.

Xia Zhi had already had this intention, thinking of the sincere repentance before the tomb of Murong and his wife, eating fasting and reciting Buddha, and living this remnant life, but he felt ashamed, and felt that he was a burden, and he was ashamed to speak. Noah sent someone to pick her up, and she followed her up to the villa.

After seeing her that day, Noya looked back on the past, and felt that there was indeed such a girl in her impression, who was often talked about by her mother, and she was extremely emotional. Although she did take the blame because she didn't know people clearly, but these legs were broken because of Murong Villa, and Noya felt that she should help her more.

As soon as Xia Zhi entered the mountain, he couldn't control his emotions, and despite Noya's persuasion, he half-knelt and half-sat in front of the coffins of Murong and his wife to confess his sins, fainting twice, and his feelings were sincere, which made those who heard it cry.

Nuoya naturally didn't feel good in her heart, and later finally dissuaded her, restrained her emotions, and ordered someone to arrange her food and lodging.

The wheelchair that Xia Solstice usually uses has been used for a long time, and it is quite difficult to push, and it has been "squeaking" all the time, as if it is about to fall apart at any time. It happened that Guan Luo was good at these doorways, and Noya discussed with him to see if he could make a lighter wheelchair for her while there were skilled craftsmen in the mountains.

Guan Luo happily agreed, and then approached Xia Solstice to carefully inspect the structure of the old wheelchair to see where it needed to be improved and where it could be used for reference.

Xia Zhi sat on the chair in a daze, glanced at Nuoya strangely, and then looked at Guan Luo, without speaking, but when Guan Luo asked some questions, he nodded or shook his head.

Guan Luo held a pen and paper in his hand, and wrote and drew on the straw paper, but at tea time, he handed a simple design pattern to Noya, and then approached her, and carefully explained to her the improvements of the wheelchair he designed, which is not only lightweight, but also easy to turn, and can be operated by hand without asking for help.

Noya was very excited, and showed it to Xia Zhi, Xia Zhi's expression became more and more strange, and the expression revealed was very complicated, as if there were doubts, horrors, uneasiness, mixed tastes and speechless kinds.

"What's wrong? Don't like it? Noah asked.

Xia Zhi secretly glanced at Guan Luo, and while he was not paying attention, he asked quietly, "Who is that person?" ”

"He is a disciple of the old man of Tianji, and he is best at making bows and crossbow mechanisms, and he is very talented."

"Do you know each other well?" Xia Zhi asked hesitantly.

Noah nodded: "Although we have known each other for a short time, I feel that I am quite a match." He also once saved me in the Valley of the Killers. ”

Xia Zhi stopped talking, and he could see that he was extremely conflicted.

"Is there something wrong?" Noah sensitively sensed that Xia Solstice's mind was a little impetuous.

Xia Zhi shook his head: "It's okay, it's because I always feel that he is a little inexplicably familiar, as if he has seen it somewhere." ”

Noya glanced at Guan Luo, and then smiled: "He is purely a living treasure, as virtuous as an ingot." ”

Xia Zhi lowered his head to look at the drawings, and then nodded appreciatively: "The things he designed look really smart, and it is really rare at such a young age." ”

In fact, Xia Zhi herself is only thirty or forty years old, but the hardships over the years have made her look really old, and she always has a sense of vicissitudes of an old man when she speaks. Noya thought that she had paid for Huang Dexing for the rest of her life, and now that Huang Dexing is dead, she deserves a peaceful and peaceful life. As her former master, she has the responsibility to arrange her future days.

Noah invited two simple women to take care of Xia Zhi's daily life, meticulous and thoughtful, Xia Zhi was a little flattered, and repeatedly rejected Noah's kindness, always saying that he was a drag. Especially after the wheelchair customized by Guan Luo for her is completed, she can come and go freely, clean up some odd and entrepreneurial tasks, and she can't be idle, hoping to help Noya more.

Noah was worried that she was depressed, and would often enlighten her and say some jokes that were not serious, hoping that she could let go of the past and have a better time. Who would have thought that she would still not be able to think about it.

The woman went to Noah in a panic and told her that Xia Zhi was missing.

Noya's first thought was impossible, Xia Zhi was unable to move, although her wheelchair was much lighter, but it was only limited to walking around the flat area near the villa, and it must not be far away, how could she disappear?

The woman looked anxious and remorseful: "We have searched all the places in the vicinity, but we have found no trace of her. She deliberately distracted the two of us, could she have had some ideas? ”

"Impossible!" Noah categorically denied: "She is finally bitter now, what can she think?" ”

The woman quickly stopped talking and couldn't help but sweat.

But where can she go?

Noah hurriedly went out and summoned Yuan Bao and Bing Soul to help find it, and happened to walk opposite the panicked Guan Luo.

Guan Luo was stunned, and joked with Nuoya with a smile: "What's the good thing about my sister, why is it only called Yuanbao and not me?" ”

Noya said worriedly: "The summer solstice is gone, call the ingots, and everyone will go to find it." ”

Guan Luo knew that it was not a joke, and turned around and shouted out the ice spirit and ingots covered in mud from the mausoleum.

Noah anxiously told Xia Solstice about the disappearance, and everyone comforted them, and immediately divided up to inquire about the craftsmen and searched around. Xia Zhi has difficulty moving, which is more noticeable, and finally two craftsmen told Noah that they saw Xia Zhi pushing his wheelchair to the back mountain.

Noah was shocked in her heart, the back mountain is full of thorns and cliffs, what is she going to do there?

Several people did not dare to delay, hurried to the back mountain, searched everywhere, shouted anxiously, and finally only saw a shoe left by the summer solstice next to a cliff.

Everyone's hearts sank, and they had a bad premonition. Following that direction, he hung the rope down and found the body of Xia Solstice at the bottom of the mountain. Her wheelchair was nearby, and she was shattered.

Noya really can't guess it, the summer solstice is so lively, why would he suddenly can't think about it and do such a stupid thing? She clearly said that her wish for the rest of her life is to be able to accompany Nuoya in front of the tomb of her parents, chant Buddha and chant sutras, and guard the tomb of the second elder. Now that it has been accomplished, why should we kill ourselves?

The two women said conclusively, Xia Solstice did find a reason to deliberately separate the two. A moment ago, he was still gossiping, smiling happily and peacefully, but for some reason, he suddenly changed his mind.

Noah felt a little guilty in her heart, she felt that Xia Zhi chose death so decisively, it must be because she didn't think about it enough, so Xia Zhi felt that she had nothing to love. Hundreds of miles and nine hundred ways of persuasion made her stop her grief and bury the summer solstice.
