Chapter 190: The First Emperor (Former Dust)

Lan Yuan...... Brother ......" Shen Qingjun said softly and hid behind Xuanyi. She showed half of her face and looked at the man who sat up with his head bowed.

"You will call me like this, and I ...... I don't know what to do. Huo Lanyuan still buried his face, and his voice was a little more elegant. Less bloodthirsty, more cautious.

"I ......" Shen Qingjun grabbed Xuanyi's monk's robe with both hands and put his forehead against the monk's back, "Wrong...... It's not all up to you. ”

Genichi could feel the dampness and heat in her back, and she was trembling slightly as she spoke.

"Really?" Huo Lanyuan asked instead, he felt that the three of them had fallen into such a situation, and he could not escape the blame.

"Tonight...... There is not much time left, Huo Lanyuan, the struggle between you and me is not over yet. Or do you want to ...... That's it?" Xuan Yi kicked the red whisk at Huo Lanyuan's feet, motioning for the man to pick up the sword again.

"You just said that you are the son of Li Jiancheng?" Huo Lanyuan picked up the sword, supported the ground with the tip of the sword, and stood up. He didn't answer what he asked, but asked Xuan Yi another question. Keep your eyes closed.

"Father's letter is also written like this, Brother Lan Yuan, haven't you read it?" Shen Qingjun replied for Xuanyi. She had seen it with her own eyes, in black and white.

"The Xuanwu Gate has undergone tremendous changes. Li Jiancheng had all his wives and concubines, maidservants, and slaves...... All of them were strained. His son is too, although he is still ignorant, but he also has to accompany his father into the Yellow Spring. Huo Lanyuan seemed to think of the childish child of the Shen Mansion he had killed, his hands trembled, and he was red.

"I was the child of him and the prostitute, and I survived without being known. ”

"I thought so, but my father told me that when he was sent by His Majesty to slaughter Li Jiancheng's wife and children, he killed a very special child. The child's eyes were as thick as paint, and the outline was clear, and my father was impressed by just one glance. Although he was raised by the side of the cook, he was dressed in brocade clothes, and his skin was as white as snow. At that time, my father's knife fell and fell, and I saw the cook protect him with his life and call him 'Azhu'. ”

"Azhu...... Ah Zhu ......" Xuan Yi muttered to himself, his eyes furrowed.

"When the cook died, the boy died. My father was surprised, so he found a jade bracelet from the child's wrist and a longevity lock from his chest. Those objects, with exquisite workmanship, are all good ordinary products, and they are definitely not worn by the cook's children. Huo Lanyuan carefully recalled the information he had received from his father.

"Brother Lan Yuan...... Why are you saying this?" Shen Qingjun was puzzled.

Huo Lanyuan obviously didn't understand why he was saying this, obviously Shen Pingru wrote word by word very clearly, the monk was Li Jiancheng's son.

But when he saw a crescent-shaped birthmark on Xuanyi's chest, he couldn't help but think of his father's words, "The child was killed with a knife, and when his father went to investigate his life and death, he saw a crescent birthmark on the child's chest." Xuanyi, why do you have such a birthmark on your chest?"

Xuanyi lowered his head, looked at the red crescent moon on his chest, and just said, "That child is dead, how can it be me?"

"Isn't it you?" Huo Lanyuan spoke intermittently, sometimes lightly and sometimes heavily, "How could it be you?" But when my father counted the corpses of the people he killed, he found that everyone was there, except for the child's corpse. And on Li Jiancheng's wrist, the string of red Buddha beads that never left his body was gone. Let me think about it now, Xuanyi, what you are wearing is also a string of red Buddha beads?"

"Yes...... So what?"

Shen Qingjun tightened his chest, feeling the rolling of the beads in the brocade, a little uneasy.

"Could it be...... Did I think too much?" Huo Lanyuan's face was very bad, and his body shook a little. The wound he suffered yesterday was only simply bandaged, but now he has moved too much, and the wound has cracked again. With the slightest movement, the flesh was torn apart, and the pain was terrible.

"If that child dies, it won't be Xuanyi. Brother Lan Yuan, you think too much. Shen Qingjun tightly grabbed the Jinpa on his chest and replied.

"Well, that's all I have to say. And when it is the end, I will tell you all that I know, and I will tell you what I have learned from your majesty. Huo Lanyuan coughed a few times and swallowed blood.

"I don't have anything more to know. ”

"Just listen. Huo Lanyuan insisted, "After that day in Xuanwumen, Gu Yansheng and his disciples were both tortured to death. But in fact, his apprentices used a certain way, the golden cicada came out of its shell, returned to the palace, and stole something from His Majesty. His Majesty had only lost something, but he searched all over the palace and found no trace of it, but he was not associated with these dead people. It's just that I've been looking for this thing for more than ten years. ”

"What is it?" Shen Qingjun asked, these were not written in his father's letters.

"I don't know, Your Majesty is secretive. He just asked me to help him find this thing when he came to Nanling, but I didn't even know what it was. My goal has always been you, isn't it...... If I find you, will I find it?"

Huo Lanyuan pondered for a while, and suddenly asked again: "Xuanyi, do you remember that I once asked you, the Son of Heaven is suspicious by nature, how could he let dozens of traitors to the party easily break out of the shell of the golden cicada? And why did Shen Pingru kill your mother, Siluo?"

Genichi was silent.

Shen Qingjun was a little at a loss, she was afraid to hear the name "Siluo", afraid that the monk would remember that the person who killed his mother was her father.

In fact, this is just the doubt I had when I read Shen Pingru's letter. I've never been able to figure it out, so I hope you can figure it out. But I just ...... Figured it out. When taken together, these two issues give rise to a new possibility. In the intervening decades, there has been another force involved. ”

"Another force...... Who is it?" asked Shen Qingjun immediately.

"Yes...... Emperor Xian. His favorite prince of the East Palace was killed in the Xuanwumen Revolution, and he was forced to abdicate. If the first emperor knew that there was still fire left in this world, maybe ...... Will secretly support. Although he has abdicated, his ability to replace more than a dozen death row inmates is still there. If the first emperor helped, it would make sense. ”

"Nasila...... How is it related to death?" Shen Qingjun held his breath.

"How does Li Jiancheng compare with the child of a prostitute, and the biological son of the first emperor who is brave and good at fighting and has a lot of achievements?" Huo Lanyuan frowned, "It must be that Shen Pingru and Gu Yansheng's apprentices killed the stigmatized prostitute Siluo in order to get the secret help of the first emperor, and also for the 'prince' they cultivated to be justifiable." Just to help you achieve your great cause. ”

Huo Lanyuan didn't wait for everyone to react, so he continued: "It seems that when I think of this today, I will be afraid of your identity. This emperor's body is the most taboo, his name is not right, and his words are not good. 'M afraid...... The first emperor also had an edict. ”

At this point, Huo Lanyuan finally opened his eyes.

I saw that his eyes were clearly red.

Devil three.
