After the two left on the Wudu River, Yue Xiaojiu took Beihuai into a dungeon. Yue Beihuai watched as the cold moonlight penetrated through the window lattice, casting strange shadows on the cold floor of the guest room.

Lying on the ground was a man who was so scarred that he could no longer see his original face. He was one of the people who was knocked unconscious in the bamboo forest that day, and the only one who was still alive.

Yue Xiaojiu beckoned and ordered, "Wake people up for me."

A bucket of water fell on the limp man. He gasped heavily, looked at Yue Xiaojiu with a chill on his face, and tried his best to hide his fear. The man closed his eyes in pain. Because he was cartilage-scattered, he didn't even have the strength to bite his tongue and kill himself. At this moment, a stream of heat rushed from his heart to his mouth, and he spat out a mouthful of black blood with difficulty.

Yue Xiaojiu opened his mouth and said to Yue Beihuai, who was silent on the side: "He was the last to wake up, and everyone else woke up again and committed suicide by taking poison." We found his poison under one of his molars, so now he still has a breath. ”

Yue Beihuai seemed to have expected it, nodded and asked, "Is the poison still there?" ”

Yue Xiaojiu nodded, and then asked someone to present a wooden box.

Yue Beihuai opened it and saw that there was a projectile the size of a sesame seed on the red silk in the box. He held it up with the skewer and looked at it for a moment, then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he put the poison back. He handed the wooden box to his servant and said, "Give it to him." ”

Yue Xiaojiu was puzzled, and stretched out his hand to block the wooden box: "Seventh brother!" ”

Yue Beihuai moved Yue Xiaojiu's hand away and said, "I already know the mastermind behind the scenes, so naturally it's useless to keep him." ”

"Seventh brother, what do you mean by this?"

Yue Beihuai pointed to the wooden box, looked at the person lying on the ground and said, "This poison is full of prison bones, I'm right." ”

When the people of the earth heard this, their brows furrowed slightly.

Sure enough, it was said by Yue Beihuai. He continued to probe and said: "I have long heard that Lord Wan Heqian, an important minister of the imperial court, has dealings with Lord Manchu, I don't know if I can say that you are the one instructed by Lord Wan." ”

The hostage took his last breath and said, "Since you know everything, let me die." ”

"It's okay to let you die, but you have to tell me first, what do you want to do?" Yue Beihuai squatted in front of the man and continued to follow the good path: "After speaking, the contents of the box will be yours." ”

This person looked at Yue Beihuai angrily, and said word by word: "He ordered us to take the seven treasures of the Buddhist family." ”

Yue Xiaojiu raised his eyes and motioned for his subordinates to throw the box to the man, and then walked out of the dungeon first, followed by Yue Beihuai. It's nostalgic for a world that has been freed from the smell of blood.

Yue Xiaojiu took a deep breath and asked, "Seventh brother, what is the use of Wan Heqian's request for the seven treasures of the Buddhist family?" ”

"He has long known that the seven treasures of the Buddhist family were ordered by the emperor to be dedicated to the king of Jiangnan Yujun, and there are only two possibilities for him to snatch them. One is to let the emperor punish me; The other is to prevent me from meeting with the king of Yujun. ”

Yue Xiaojiu laughed and said, "How can the third brother offend the seventh brother, you have a close relationship with the third brother, everyone knows it." You, the Seventh Prince, deserve to be much more beautiful than me, the Ninth Prince. Yue Xiaojiu was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, "Seventh Brother means that Wan Heqian doesn't want you to see the King of Yujun." ”

Yue Beihuai nodded, praised Yue Xiaojiu and said, "Xiao Jiu is really smart. ”

Yue Xiaojiu raised his eyebrows a little triumphantly after being praised, but there were still some things he didn't understand.

"Seventh brother, I still don't understand why Wan Heqian did this."

Yuebei Huai carefully explained to him: "Now that the king of Yujun has a strong army, and the materials in the Jiangnan region are fat, everyone who has objections is staring at this piece of fat. The emperor called me here this time, in fact, to test the attitude of the king of Yujun. I didn't expect it to be a step too late. If I'm not mistaken, Wan Heqian is now in this Songhai City. ”

Yue Xiaojiu looked incredulous, and said: "How is it possible, how can a dignified military department scholar come to the south of the Yangtze River at will." ”

"It's been more than a month since we left the capital, but when we left, we had already heard that Wan Daren was seriously ill, so it was right to think about it."

Yue Xiaojiu was dialed like this, and he completely understood. "So Lord Wan didn't have the full confidence to win over the lord of the county, so he made up our mind."

Yue Beihuai nodded with his hands behind his back. He looked up at the waning moon in the sky, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this time, the moonlight is just right, and the silver light is shining. The night is bitterly cold, and the sound of fireworks has long since faded. The sound of frogs and cicadas chirps, and the eternal life is silent.
