Chapter 11: The Throbbing
Gu Xi smiled faintly and did not deny it, but turned to another point and said, "King Heng and Eldest Princess Fengwu are certainly the targets of others, but we can't let King Jing go. His gaze fell on the name on the paper like a measuring stick to measure the power behind the name.
"Two Emperors...... Master, King Jing? He is far away in the fiefdom, and he will never enter Beijing without a will. Yun Yanzheng was still a little puzzled, but he had already seen Gu Xi smile and shook his head at her, and heard the melodious and moving voice ringing in his ears: "He is far away in the fiefdom, do you really know what he is doing?" Do you know what kind of people are around him? Even though he has all kinds of spies around him, he is thousands of miles away, and everything is not as sure as in front of him? ”
"He can promise the Prairie Alliance; He can incite the Fan tribe to rebellion; He can even conspire with Yu Guo to cooperate inside and outside, all just to achieve a goal. The tip of Gu Xi's hand pointed out the dark lines on the paper that seemed to be unrelated, and connected them one after another. Under his guidance, Yun Yanzheng saw that small rivers converged into a rushing river, and in this rushing river, the source had faintly pointed to the silent and forbearant second emperor brother.
"How can you grasp the movement of Kyoto when you are thousands of miles away? If you rely on fast horses and carrier pigeons to pass on the book, there is a risk of exposure, and you can't judge the direction of the situation in time? Yun Yanzheng finished the last question, but saw that Gu Xi's eyes flashed with unpredictable light and shadow, and the corners of his lips smiled faintly, like the shadow of snow in the distant mountains, and like the clouds floating outside the sky, unpredictable, but the words he said made her even more shocked: "Have you ever thought that his people are probably in Yuecheng at this moment?" ”
How can it be? From the fiefdom to Gyeonggi all the way without being discovered? How did you hide your identity and enter Yuecheng? Who will be the King of Jing who has been under surveillance in the fiefdom? After entering Yue City, where did he settle down and hide his whereabouts?
A series of questions flashed through Yun Yanzheng's mind, and she looked at Gu Xi suspiciously, and said cautiously: "Brother Gu, this matter can't be laughed at. ”
Gu Xiyun glanced back at her lightly, his eyes were filled with a calm and steady divine light, and he said in a low tone: "You have gone along the vine to find out what caused the abandonment of the winery in the west of the city back then, the whereabouts of the people inside at that time, the involvement of the household officials and the dereliction of duty of the Jingshi Mansion Yin. If you have the ability to find out, the official dispute that arose now because of the desire to lease the winery, and the ins and outs of the person who caused Concubine Li's body to be exhumed; The real reason behind the Hubu officials and the dereliction of duty of Yin of the Jingshi Mansion can further confirm the truth and falsehood of what I said today, and can also solve some mysteries in your heart. ”
Yun Yanzheng's gaze darkened slightly, and he lowered his head and pondered.
"Naturally, the more people know about this matter, the bigger the flaws, and the faster our purpose will be exposed. We have to get ahead of the curve and take control of the direction of things in our own hands, so that we can make a victory. Gu Xi's leisurely voice rang in her ears, and suddenly a strong confidence seeped out of his tone, making her heart pound again.
This feeling is like her fighting on the battlefield, although his words are not harsh, but the killing decision contained in it has its own sharp coldness. It was as if she suddenly saw another side of him, not only surprised, but more like a kind of boiling blood fighting side by side.
He was dressed in white and had a spring melt, sitting so leisurely talking and laughing in the ups and downs of the south wind, and he actually had a temperament of ice and snow that spread in the air around him. Even the unforgettable face of the pure soul seemed to bring a strange and dazzling glow, making it impossible for others to force their eyes on him.
Yun Yanzheng found that he couldn't calmly meet his eyes at this moment, and couldn't help but tremble his eyelids slightly, looking away, but the voice in his heart became more and more intense. Even sensitively noticed that the sound of his breathing beside him seemed to become clear and audible, and she couldn't escape it.
"This should be the first lesson I have to consider General Yun." His slightly cold voice made her gradually come back to her senses in a trance.
Yun Yanzheng sighed secretly and gritted his teeth, then grinned and showed a hint of a smile, and all his feelings turned into normal, and he said firmly: "I will definitely not let you down, Brother Gu." The expression of her phoenix eyes smiling suddenly brought a unique heartiness and downfall, like a breeze blowing between the pines, like a white spring flowing on a strange stone, and her eyes slightly revealed a bit of untamed pride.
Gu Xi stared at her, his expression had become soft and calm, as if Fang Cai's cold slaughter did not belong to the young man with warm eyebrows and eyes in front of him, it was like an occasional hallucination in the eyes of others, a dream like a mirror. He smiled lightly at her and said softly, "I hope so." ”
Yun Yan neatly picked up the spy reports scattered on the grass, wrapped it in the gray cloth and carried it on his left shoulder, and couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart, this person's hidden is like an infinitely changing floating cloud in the sky, which is as wonderful as a flawless sight.
With his right hand, he picked up the two contextual diagrams written by her and Gu Xi, and his eyes fell on the paper fixedly, his handwriting was so beautiful. Even she, the eldest princess of the Wei Kingdom, who created her own unique "cloud font", had to be sincerely appreciated, this person seemed to have achieved the ultimate in whatever she did, but she didn't know where she got so much wisdom and energy?
He folded the two pieces of paper and put them in his arms and hid them. She bowed to Gu Yi, and then strode out of the "Weiyun Garden".
In the snow-white jade of the pear blossom tree shadow, her slender and firm back looks particularly handsome, just like the majestic waterfall of the nine days of rivers flowing in the ink-splashed landscape painting.
The Eldest Princess's Mansion, in the "Zhenhui Temple" of the East Garden.
The night outside the dormitory was already dark, and it was quiet and lonely.
Within five days, spy reports were successively transmitted to the mansion from the dark sentinel Mu Dong. At this moment, she was holding Yun Yanzheng's hand, and she frowned slightly. Facing the light of the bronze lotus lamp beside the bed, she compared the spy report with the context map written by Gu Xi one by one, and the more she looked at it, the more thrilling she felt.
The castle west brewery was abandoned by a fire, and the rest of the people escaped the catastrophe because they did not stay in the brewery, and the owner had to flee because the owner was killed in the fire. But her secret whistle always Zi Qingyan found out that this winery was the most prestigious "Pear Blossom White" in Yuecheng back then, and it had a lot to do with today's Hubu Shangshuwei. Although this Hubu Shangshu had always put himself in a neutral position back then, Gu Xi firmly classified him among the emperor's cronies, and she thought carefully that over the years, Wei Ying's promotion seemed to be a little unusual.
If Wei Ying was already the person who was the crown prince back then, was the fire in this winery accidental or man-made? If it is man-made, who did it? What kind of things are you trying to cover up?
Now the official dispute that arose over the intention of leasing the winery also happened to occur in the household department, and Cao Zhen, the waiter of the household department, accepted the bribe, so he quietly approved the winery to prepare for the reconstruction of the business. Unexpectedly, the merchant had just wanted to repair the brewery, and when he was working in the backyard, he turned out a white skeleton. Frightened, he was afraid of getting into trouble, so he went all the way into the city almost every person, and finally a large group of people crowded in front of the Gyeonggi Yamen to report to the official, and the yamen's arrest and work quickly pouted the white bones, and even the Jingshi Mansion Yin realized it later. According to Qing Yan's perseverance and not giving up the slightest clue, Lord Yin left his post without permission that day, but he ran to the "Wenxue Building" to listen to the music.
By the time Shangshu Wei of the household department should know, the news had already spread all over Yuecheng.
Who is responsible for the whole thing? One ring after another, interlocking, all of this is logical.
The merchant has been examined and cleared, and after getting rid of suspicion, he is now gone. Under Qingyan's investigation, Cao Zhen and Wei Ying are relatives of the wife's family, and they were purely used in this matter, and the businessman's temporary residence, not only did the building go empty, but no clues were left, and Cao Zhen could not find any clues from his words to Wei Ying in prison. However, Qing Yan found a subordinate who was transporting bricks and mud for repairs for the merchant at that time, and said that he had overheard the merchant scolding a few words of Jizhou dialect slang, which was his wife's country language, and others could not speak it so smoothly.
She has sent someone to Jizhou to investigate the news and confirm whether the second emperor brother is really no longer in the fiefdom? Judging from the spy reports sent back by the secret sentinel and the horse, they secretly investigated the caravan from Jizhou, and confirmed that they had changed their route and quietly visited the grassland when they had passed through the desert; And the underground silver village in Jizhou secretly also has black silver and marching materials flowing to the border cities bordering the country in the south from time to time.
As Gu Xi expected, was the second emperor brother planning this matter? The new emperor has not been stable for three years on the throne, and he has made a comeback, wanting to do things to usurp the throne and win the throne of the Ninety-Five Supreme?
Didn't he know that the DPRK was once again turbulent and the people's hearts were scattered, which was also an opportunity for other countries to covet and invade? Or does he think that even if the society is shaky, he still has to taste the taste of the emperor who directs the country?
There is no confirmation of this yet, and everything can only be revealed when the time is ripe. These speculations and secret investigations cannot be told to the emperor, the imperial brother does not trust her, if he rushes to play, it will only increase his suspicions, not only will it not help the truth, but it will only make matters worse.
"What a ghost." Referring to the connections on the drawing, she couldn't help but sigh softly. This man's talent was no longer described as a "genius", with the talent of an almost unknown prophet, she felt that only the legendary ghost with magical abilities could describe his judgment.
Her hand holding the vein map trembled a little, and Yun Yanzheng didn't know why the emotions stirred in her heart at this time? Is it for his astounding talent? Or is it for him, a mysterious and unknowable man? I only felt that the words on the paper in front of me would slowly dissolve the strokes, forming another round and undulating lines, which were slowly outlined in front of her eyes, and gradually showed the outline of the person's elegant facial features, the smart and smiling face, and the pair of eyes as deep as the sea seemed to be looking at her, and under such a long gaze, it seemed to be able to suck the soul of a person into it, and fell into his unfathomable vastness.
Yun Yanzheng suddenly came back to his senses, stunned like a madman, where was there a human face image on that piece of paper? The words on it are still strokes, like the fairy hairpin, swaying and colorful; The verve is superb, and it's wonderful. However, what made her pay more attention was the word "yuan" in his book, which was only made eleven strokes.
Why is the word "Yuan" in the book owe a stroke? Is this deliberate? Or is it a matter of habit?
For some reason, after she saw it that day, she returned to the eldest princess's mansion in the study, correcting the missing "edge" word by pen, and adding the missing strokes one by one. It's like a strict master, who can't tolerate the slightest fallacy in the strokes in that word.
Originally, although the word "fate" owed a sum of money, the book was also wonderful; Originally, she was not such a person who was so obsessed with small sections.
Yun Yanzheng never thought deeply about the reason, just regarded it as a game that he did on a whim, and never took it to heart.
At this moment, the night had fallen into Mobi, and the last light in the eldest princess's mansion had been extinguished. Everything was hidden in darkness again, and there was no more sound.
