"Xuanyi, let's listen to it," Huo Lanyuan put the red whisk behind his back, covering its revealing edge, "It is my last mercy to let you understand the truth of the old things." ”

"I'm already curious why your father, Hawthorne, would know about Red Sleeves and Yan Xingyun. My Uncle Shi Jian never revealed his children's private affairs in Nanling, and he was afraid that the red sleeves would be in trouble, and he would never tell others about the existence of such a woman.

But why does your father know so much? He also told you that the red sleeves are Yan Xingyun's lifeline, and where did the red whisk of Yan Xingyun's matching sword come from?"

"You've thought so much since then, and you're a bit smart, right? So, what explanation are you looking for for all this?" Huo Lanyuan was interested.

"Your father, Hawthorne, is also an 'old man', but right, the swordsmanship you just used is the same as the trick my uncle used to kill the enemy last night, but it is a little younger. Presumably, your father taught you the swordsmanship he learned from Gu Yansheng, right?"

"That's right, my father Hawthorne was also Gu Yansheng's apprentice. and the few people who died here can also be regarded as a brother-in-law relationship. Huo Lanyuan nodded, not hiding it, "So, as soon as I saw the moves they used yesterday, I knew that these people were all under Gu Yansheng's apprenticeship. And my father, Hawthorne, also knew Yan Xingyun's fate because of this. ”

"There's another thing I can't figure out just now. There is no forgiveness for plotting against this sin. If you want to talk about Zhulian, how can you let go of your Huo Mansion, which is related to the Shen family by marriage? This is the most direct evidence, the Golden Buddha, but after all, it was presented to His Majesty through Hawthorne's hands.

The Son of Heaven is suspicious by nature, even if he finds out the truth and knows that Hawthorne is just being used by others, he will take advantage of your Huo family in order not to let go of the wrong person. But your Huo family, who is alone, was 'forgiven' by the Son of Heaven.

Could it be that your Huo Mansion really won the favor of His Majesty, so that you didn't cause the disaster of killing?"

Xuan Yi asked like this, and he immediately replied: "It's impossible." The Son of Heaven is special to your Huo family, and there must be other reasons. I thought about it and couldn't find the key point. But if you contact the matter of Wude's nine years, there is a conjecture.

Gu Yansheng and his apprentices were all tortured to death on the surface. But your father didn't, but the official road was on the rise. This is also a big doubt.

You said that Gu Yansheng and Shen Pingru are like two shadows, one is hidden in the palace and the other is hidden in the market. Li Jiancheng's 'net' is all over Chang'an, and he knows everything. But when today's son wants to encircle and suppress Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, no one has found out about it, and it is too coincidental to report it to the prince, and it doesn't make sense. ”

Xuanyi's long body stood upright, and his robe swayed in the wind. The monk was now fearless and had made up his mind to let the dust settle.

"Success or defeat has an element of 'gambling'. Huo Lanyuan is the same.

The two of them met their eyes in the air, as if beating the drums of war. Just wait for an introduction, and it will be another bloody matter.

"What if, Li Jiancheng's people did find out the news and did report the news to Li Jiancheng?" Xuan Yi ignored Huo Lanyuan's nonsense and said his guess, "It's just ...... Something went wrong in the middle, and one of the people who passed the message betrayed the prince of the East Palace and became a guest in the other camp?"

"You mean, my father betrayed Li Jiancheng and followed the new master......? It's an idea that stands up to scrutiny. ”

But I immediately dismissed the idea. Xuan Yi then said.

"Why?"

"Because Hawthorne's official road is prosperous and prosperous. ”

"What do you mean?" At this moment, Huo Lanyuan was a little puzzled.

"If he is a rebel, he is afraid that after the tragedy of Xuanwumen, he will also be destroyed by the Son of Heaven. Today's Son of Heaven is suspicious by nature, and suspicious people don't need it. How can a person who betrayed the old master be able to withstand the trust of the Son of Heaven? Therefore, Hawthorne could never be a traitor. ”

"Oh?" Huo Lanyuan was secretly surprised, this person was thoughtful, but it was very different from the chaotic appearance just now.

"Another point, if Hawthorne, as Gu Yansheng's apprentice, is Li Jiancheng's person, why doesn't he know that Shen Pingru is the 'knife' buried by Li Jiancheng in the people, and tell Shen Pingru about today? ”

Xuanyi said it very logically.

Liu Sanqian listened to it, was fascinated, and wanted to know the truth quickly.

The only explanation is that Hawthorne was the man he is today. He installed your father's intelligence network built by Yu Li and worked for him. And although Hawthorne entered Gu Yansheng's disciple, he did not get Gu Yansheng's full trust, and told your father about Shen Pingru. It was also because of this that the Shen family was able to escape.

This is why Li Jiancheng couldn't perceive the truth of the Xuanwumen ambush. Your father may have tampered with the news, or he may have not reported it at all, but in short, Hawthorne has done a great job. Get the Son of Heaven to look at it differently. Since then, the official road has been prosperous and prosperous. Soaring upward, it is enviable. ”

"You're right, exactly. ”

The cool breeze is blowing.

In the distance, there seemed to be two dark shadows shuttling through the bamboo forest. Huo Lanyuan's eyes narrowed and he looked over. When he saw something, he tugged at the corners of his mouth and waved the red whisk.

"I wanted to listen to you say more speculation, but I'm afraid it's too late. Xuanyi, tonight, either you die or I die. You say, "Who can see the sun rise tomorrow?"

"I still have concerns, and I will fight hard. "Xuanyi is not to be outdone.

"That's very good. I'll give you a hint about your background. When today's son, the most annoying...... The name is not right, and the word is not good. ”
