Chapter 218: Dark Ghost
A horse-drawn carriage ran from north to south, speeding down the avenue outside the south gate of the Jixia School Palace.
The horses' hooves clattered and fell, and the wheels rolled in a curling motion, scattering the dirt from the avenue.
The curtain of the carriage was blown inward by the strong wind, and the scenery on both sides of the avenue swept by--
Tian Dan sat in the carriage, his body shook with the carriage, his back was straight, his hands were clenched into fists, his chest was undulating, his face was cloudy, his face was cloudy, his face flashed with suspicion from time to time, and he was confused from time to time!
If Zou Yan didn't mention the last sentence, maybe now Tian Dan was still deep in the worry and fear that his family and country were about to collapse.
But Zou Yan's last sentence made Tian Dan have to wonder if all this could have been planned by Qi Yu and Zou Yan together?
If it weren't for that, why did Zou Yan mention the last sentence, why did he tell himself that the person who can turn things around and change the general trend of the world is the one who influences him?
How would Zou Yan know who the person who influenced his thoughts was?
Tian Dan asked himself if he was not a fool, how could he believe such nonsense?
With Qi Yu, a young man whose hair has not yet grown, no matter how smart he is, can he use his own strength to influence the general trend of the world and reverse the will of heaven?
How ridiculous!
Suspicion gives rise to dark ghosts, once this thought appears, it will be like a boundless and endless wave, constantly slapping on Tian Dan's heart, unable to let go!
Tian Dan thought of all Lu Yunzhou's previous performances in front of him, at a young age, his mind was unpredictable, on the surface, the wind was calm and clear, warm as jade, but secretly he was as wise as the sea, very skillful, as if everything in this world was in his strategy!
Even himself, every time I talk to him, I will inevitably be led by his nose!
Could it be that all of this is a game set up by Qi Yu, the purpose of which is to bluff me, and then make me obey him from now on? He can use this to secretly manipulate the political situation of Qi State, and he wants the wind to win the wind and the rain?
Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they are hard to eradicate!
Tian Dan thought of Tuxian's conspiracy, and Lu Yunzhou deliberately came to tell him, could it be that this was also part of his plan, just to get the speculation that the Qin State was about to attack Han and Zhao, and then push the boat down the river, relying on this, to instill the threat theory of the Qin State to himself?
Even, in Tian Dan's mind, a scene from the Jixia Sword Meeting flashed after the day of the Spring Festival--
At that time, Qi Yu almost became Lian Jin's sword ghost, but he didn't seem to care at all, after gaining the upper hand, he did not retaliate against Lian Jin, but repaid his grievances with virtue, and took the initiative to spare Lian Jin's life after victory!
Don't...... Could it be that after that sword meeting, Lian Jin was grateful for Qi Yu's grace of not killing, and he had already begun to serve him?
Tian Dan remembered Lian Jin's vivid performance, which happened under the noses of himself and Qi Yu, and suddenly a chill suddenly ran in his heart!
Don't...... Could it be that he was the only one who was ignorant and kept in the dark at that time, in fact, Qi Yu and Lian Jin, one in the light and the other in the dark, were simply singing double reeds, the purpose was to cover themselves!
Even...... Tian Dan began to suspect Qi Ting, Lian Jin was captured by Qi Ting, why didn't he catch the other two people, and only brought back Lian Jin so coincidentally?
Tian Dan remembered that on the day Qi Ting arrested Lian Jin and returned to the case, he reported to himself, saying that he felt that there was something wrong with Lian Jin, and there might be other forces behind him controlling him!
Could it be that from that time on, Qi Ting had deliberately created an impression that there was a conspiracy behind Lian Jin, so that Qi Yu's plan could go on more smoothly later?
Qi Ting is also Qi Yu's brother, and he is also very likely to become a part of all Qi Yu's plans!
Tian Dan's mind was full of doubts, and the thoughts of doubt were like waves in the sea, a wave of unsettled, wave after wave, and one thought after another rose, pointing to all of them - Qi Yu has a problem!
But...... But Qi Yu didn't know that he would go to Zou Yan to calculate and ask!
And...... Thinking carefully about the situations analyzed by Qi Yu, can't you really tell if it's adulterated or not?
Don't...... Is it because you are thinking too much? Wronged Qi Yu?
It's just that this still can't be explained, why does Zou Yan know who the person who influenced him is? Could it be that Zou Yan even counted this?
Tian Dan frowned, hesitating in his heart, and suddenly, he didn't know how to judge Qi Yu!
In the final analysis, Tian Dan still can't give enough trust to Fang Shi's calculations, and he doesn't have a good impression of Zou Yan, he has always felt that he is a pretending god and a trickster, but because he has a great reputation and fame in various countries, and even if he is a little useful to Qi Guo, he has always tolerated him in the Jixia School Palace, but he is just out of sight and out of mind!
If it weren't for Tian Dan's extreme anxiety today, he would never have rushed to the doctor and went to Zou Yan, who he had always looked down on, to calculate the fortunes of the country!
The carriage sped through the vast grassland, entered the small city from the Shemen, and returned to Xiangguotang without stopping.
The first thing Tian Dan did after returning to Xiangguo Hall was to immediately recruit his subordinates and send someone to inform Mrs. Lan that he needed to know all of Qi Yu's whereabouts in the past few days!
Mrs. Lan was very efficient, but only half a day had passed, and a report on her whereabouts was placed on Tian Dan's desk.
Tian Dan picked up the wood chips, and when he saw that on the afternoon of February 25, which was yesterday afternoon, the Jimen guards saw Qi Yu, Shanrou and a wealthy merchant with two retinues entering the city together, and then saw Mrs. Lan remarks below, and when she found out that the rich merchant's name was Tu Xian, her face suddenly became gloomy!
Tian Dan carefully looked at the pieces of wood one by one, and found no other problems, so he angrily threw the stack of pieces of wood on the bookcase.
He picked up another report, which had been ordered to Madame Lan to investigate this morning, and the matter had also been brought to fruition.
Tian Dan took a closer look, but saw that the results of the investigation were impressively written: The manor where Tuxian, Guan Zhongxie, and Lian Jiao are located is the Houjia manor outside Wutai Palace!
Tian Dan's face changed greatly, and he gritted his teeth and popped out two words from between his teeth--
"Qi! Rain! ”
Tian Dan slowly got up from his seat, with a gloomy face, walked outside the main hall with his hands down, looked up at the night sky that was already dark, let out a breath suddenly, stretched out his hand to summon the soldiers guarding the door, and ordered:
"Go, call Qi Yu to the original image!"
"Yes, Tian Xiang!" The soldier immediately received the order.
The soldier left in a hurry, and Tian Dan watched his back disappear at the end of the long steps, disappearing into the night, and the deep meaning in his eyes was deeper than the night!
