The Left Hand of the Demon Chapter Seventy-Five: The Wind Fills the Building
The beginning of the story is always beautiful.
A graceful and intelligent young man, a charming and affectionate fair-eyed beauty, everything seems so natural.
But the better the beginning, the more embarrassing the ending tends to be.
The suave son is not an ordinary son, but the budding Ye Shuoguang. The charming and amorous beauty is not an ordinary beauty, but a prostitute who is famous in the Huai River.
At one time during the Spring Festival, the joke was set for life, and he was full of infatuation and mispayment, which eventually led to death.
In the face of a glorious bright future, a humble prostitute and the child in her womb are not even as good as the grass mustard on the side of the road.
How can a lowly woman be worthy of giving birth to his Ye Shuoguang's child, and it has become a stumbling block to his splendid future, so there is no need to keep it.
Unexpectedly, the sky opened his eyes, and the child not only escaped from death and lived, but also hid in Yefu for eighteen years, practiced a skill, and vowed to avenge his mother.
As a result, Ye Xiang's private cultivation of killers was also brought out, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were shaken, but no one dared to say more.
At this time, some good people suddenly thought of the fact that Ye Dagongzi had made a fuss in the dance building regardless of his identity for two consecutive days, could it be that it was also related to this matter?
So, on the second day, there was a pair of hard-working mandarin ducks who lived and died with each other and never gave up, but the story of destiny came out.
Ye Xiang's illegitimate son and Yu Niang, the previous director of the Qi Dance Building, have known each other since childhood, childhood sweethearts, but they were forced to separate because he entered the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Many years later, the child came to the door to seek revenge on the line of life and death, but Yu Niang sacrificed her life to save life and death, and finally the two disappeared without a trace.
People speculated that maybe the two had already been secretly killed by Ye Xiang and made a pair of outlaw mandarin ducks.
The Ye family's two fathers and sons were both planted in the hands of women, the father became a model of ungrateful wolf-heartedness, and the son became a bloody man who valued love and righteousness.
After his father secretly killed this pair of hard-working mandarin ducks, he didn't vent his anger, and even instructed Ye Dagongzi to make a big fuss in the dance building, even those who had an old relationship with the pair of mandarin ducks.
It's really like a snake and scorpion, and it's very vicious.
If this story were placed on someone else's, it might not attract much attention. After all, in troubled times, even if such a thing is embarrassing, it is very common.
But the protagonist of this story is the world-famous Ye Xiang.
How can such a despicable, shameless, and vicious person be the prime minister of a country?
On that day, the strange sound coming from Ye Xiang's mansion had already spread throughout Yudu, but there was no movement after that.
The mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings, but a menacing storm retreated so quietly, and a great difficulty disappeared in an instant.
The people in the bureau naturally understand the truth, but these thousands of ordinary people don't know anything. There was no follow-up to that eerie night, and they were quickly left behind.
But no one expected that the truth of this whole thing would be unveiled on such an ordinary night.
Everyone was stunned.
Then the next day, the story hung over the entire Yudu like a dark cloud, and all of a sudden rumors spread and chaos.
It's like a pool of water that seems to be extremely calm, all the waves and whirlpools are hidden underwater, and although the conflict under the water is already very fierce, the surface of the water is still calm.
The arrival of Yue is like a drop of water breaking the absolute calm on the water surface, stirring up a circle of ripples, but the whole pool of water is still silent.
But the stack of scripts she threw was like a boulder completely tearing through this veil of calm.
The peace that some people have worked so hard to maintain has been completely shattered by her in such an unexpected way. Everyone was caught off guard, and by the time they reacted, the matter had quickly spread throughout Yudu City.
Ye Xiang's scandal can't be covered anymore, unless he kills the entire people of Yudu.
Ye Xiang's reputation was ruined overnight, and Ye Xiang's anger burned like a devastating fire.
In just a few days, the three foreign ministers who died were degraded and died, and the disputes that were originally hidden under the water seemed to be unscrupulously put on the table this night.
And King Xuan, who has always been afraid of Emperor Jing and Empress Ye, was unexpectedly tough this time.
As soon as the news of the three foreign ministers reached Yudu, the household servant wrote to resign, saying that he was seriously ill and could not work hard, and only begged the old man to return to his hometown to live in his old age. And this squire is not only Ye Xiang's hand, but also Ye's close relative.
Emperor Jing was approved.
Then immediately after that, three holy decrees were issued in succession, angrily accusing King Xuan and Ye Xiang of their virtue and hurting the country.
The first punishment was given to the two of them for one year.
The second punishment was that the two of them had closed the door of the house and meditated, and they were not allowed to govern for three months.
The third personal order Zhenbei Army to guard in front of the two people's mansion, no one is allowed to visit, and the two are not allowed to leave the mansion for half a step.
With these three holy decrees, this storm that had changed the color of the heavens and the earth finally began to show signs of subsidence.
And by the time these three decrees came down, seven days had passed since the night the storyteller picked up the play.
Just when it was dark in the storm in Yudu City, Yue's plan was going according to plan.
When Xiao Wei and Yue came back from Xingtao Village that night, Ping An brought back not only two living people, but also a scroll of maps.
It draws the trend of all the underground tunnels in Xingtao Village, as well as the method of cracking the mechanism formation.
That secret passage was originally prepared by her for the villagers of Xingtao, so that she could go to Xingli Village unconsciously in case of emergency.
And the only person who knows this secret passage is Tianji.
Because the people who built this secret passage back then were all her cronies, and they would never tell this secret passage to others, otherwise once it reached the ears of some people, then they would inevitably be affected.
What's more, they are long dead, she has already gone, and the only thing left is Dimensity.
Tianji was still young back then, and according to her plan, this secret path should be guarded by Tianji, and when Tianji can no longer guard it decades later, it will be passed on to his apprentices.
Or, let this secret be buried in the loess with Tianji, after all, decades have passed, those people have long since passed away, and the pursuers are gone, so there is no need for this secret passage to continue.
But I didn't expect that in Tianji's lifetime, this secret passage finally came to use.
And Xiao Wei's duty is to re-dredge these secret passages, ensuring that when they really use this secret passage, they can escape to Xingli Village secretly without hindrance.
Xiao Wei originally thought that this was an extremely simple matter.
With a general like him, who was born and died, isn't it a matter of moving his fingers to dredge a dark passage.
After he left the White Mansion, he began to prepare all the supplies, and only waited for night when everything was ready, and then rested for a while.
In the middle of the night, when all the soldiers were asleep, he quietly slipped out of the barracks.
However, when he really entered the secret passage through the entrance at the other end of Xingli Village, he found that even if he had ten more fingers, it would be difficult for him to complete this matter within the agreed time.
It's a secret tunnel that's been closed for decades, with cobwebs, snakes and rats all over the place, and many old and decaying mechanisms that I don't know if they can still be activated. If it's completely broken, it's a good thing, but if it's half-broken, it's not bad, and it's launched when it shouldn't be, then it's a big problem.
To make matters worse, some of the tunnels had collapsed or deformed, and he had to clear out the blockages in the path.
In this way, this dark passage almost needs to be carefully cleaned inch by inch, although it is not complicated, but it is still a hundred and ten zhang, but he only has seven days.
Not seven days, but seven nights.
And he used it for a whole night, but he didn't even completely clear out a small section of the incomparably straight secret passage at the end of Xingli Village.
By the time he estimated the hour and left the dark passage, the sky was already bright, and he crawled out of the dark passage like a defeated rooster.
He would not have been able to complete this on time alone, but it was absolutely impossible to secretly send a sergeant to come.
Although he is not as eye-catching as Yue, he represents the Zhenbei Army, and if the Zhenbei Army is involved, it may not only be bad, but also affect the entire Zhenbei Army.
Now no one dares to move the Zhenbei Army, not only because the Zhenbei Army is the most important line of defense in the north of the Qi State, but also because the Zhenbei Army has always only been outside the country and does not interfere in power disputes.
But if he involved the Zhenbei Army, then he would really be a big sinner who brought disaster to the country and the people.
The Zhenbei Army can't move, Qi Zhen can't slip out, and Yue is even more impossible.
You can't let him go to Xiao's Mansion to transfer people.
If his eldest brother knew about it, he would dig up some kind of secret passage, maybe he would directly stab these things in front of Emperor Jing.
And if he goes back to Xiao's Mansion, whether he can come out safely is a matter of words.
Xiao Wei was so depressed that he was about to leave Xingli Village along the empty country road in despair, but when he walked to the entrance of the village, he saw an unexpected figure, who was squatting on the big stone at the entrance of the village, looking at him with a smile, and holding a dog tail grass in his mouth that he didn't know where to go.
Do you put the dog's tail grass in your mouth in the summer? I'm afraid that mosquitoes won't bite you, aren't you?
But he still looks complacent, obviously waiting here to watch a good show.
"Looking at General Xiao's appearance, didn't he just crawl out of a coal pile?"
As soon as Hu Er said this, Xiao Wei not only felt that his blood suddenly surged up without warning, and he couldn't wait to throw the shovel in his hand directly on the other party's smiling face, which made people angry when they saw it.
Luckily, his aching shoulders were pounding at his nerves so that he wouldn't actually throw the shovel out of his hand.
"Who the hell are you? What do you want to do all the time? ”
Xiao Wei was on fire in his heart, and he was so tired that he asked sharply with a gloomy face.
"I said it all, I'm here to help that girl, that is, to help the general, why don't you believe it, general?"
"Nonsense! Yue doesn't know you at all, who are you? ”
Xiao Wei scolded Hu Er angrily without hesitation, but he had already begun to doubt it in his mind.
This person knew his whereabouts so well, if it was an enemy, there would have been countless opportunities to sabotage their plans, so why bother sending the name of Xinghe Village to them.
And if you think about it carefully, the intention of sending the note is not like it was to mislead them, but it was more like a kind help, but it was put on the table by Tianji.
"It's going to be dawn, someone will come out in a while, General Xiao should rush back as soon as possible, now is not the time to speak. I'll be waiting here for the general tonight. ”
Two rooster crows suddenly sounded not far away, and Hu Er looked at the village behind Xiao Wei that was about to become lively, and left quickly after dropping such a sentence.
