Chapter Thirty-Six: The Affair Is Revealed

Within a few days, someone in the court reported that many people in Weicheng and Nanzhen were competing to buy grain, and there were rumors of a famine in Shaochong.

Sheng Lianshuo had the experience of Pangzhou last time, and felt that this time the matter was not simple, so he still sent Fu Yao to go.

Unexpectedly, Xu Fanning also asked to go.

Last time, although Xu Fanning also wanted to go to Pangzhou, Xu Xiujun did not agree, she was obedient and did not follow.

But this time she went directly to ask Sheng Lianshuo, no matter what, she must follow, and Sheng Lianshuo was approved.

Fu Yao and the others chose the road to Nanzhen, which is closer to the capital than Ulcheng. Ulcheng was left to Zhou Sui, and they had no choice but to act separately if the matter was urgent.

In the past few days of traveling, Fu Yao had that dream for a few more nights, and he seemed to have dreamed of a scene clearer than before, which seemed to be an underground secret room.

Fu Yao felt that this matter always revealed a strange feeling, and when he woke up from his dream again, he asked Sheng Yunzhi.

Sheng Yunzhi also felt that something was not quite right when he heard it, the same dream was done six or seven times, and it gradually became clear from blur, which was indeed strange.

"How long has it been since the last dream?"

"A month."

"Did anything strange happen to you?"

"This ...... Something happens every day, and I can't remember any strange things happening. ”​​

"That's right."

"It seems like there was a time when I only remembered having strange dreams, but I couldn't remember the content of the dreams."

"I think about it...... So where have you been during this time?"

"Pangzhou." In fact, there is another place, which is the Shuping Palace, Fu Yao did not say it.

"Aren't you from Laizhou, and you haven't been to Pangzhou before, have you?"

"Nope."

"No, no, it has to do with the location. Let me think about it again...... I'm afraid you didn't fall into some other Gu in Pangzhou. ”​

"Zhong Gu?"

"When I was in Pangzhou, I turned to an ancient book, which seemed to say that there is a kind of Gu that can make people forget the memories of their childhood, but after planting this kind of Gu, it is not completely insured, and it is necessary to take medicine regularly after the Gu person is twenty years old, once the drug stops, the memory will be repeated in the brain of the Gu person until the memory is restored."

Fu Yao thought about his memories when he was a child, as if he had it, and it seemed that he didn't.

"That's not right, it stands to reason that this Gu can only be given to children under the age of five, you can't be a Gu who was placed in Pangzhou, could it be that your family has offended someone?"

"I don't know."

"If anyone really wants to erase your childhood memories, then I advise you not to think about it. Once you think about it all, the person who has fallen under the Gu will be devoured by the Gu worm, and then the whole body will festered and die. Sheng Yunzhi patted Fu Yao on the shoulder and kissed him, "Okay, don't think about it, maybe your father and mother just want you to forget something unpleasant." I'm going to Nanzhen tomorrow, so go to sleep. ”

On the second day, Fu Yao and the others arrived in Nanzhen on time.

The situation in Nanzhen is indeed not optimistic, the people are still rushing for food, and some people are even bringing their families to prepare to go to Shuping and Kunyi.

After checking for a few days, Fu Yao only found that the person who took the lead in collecting grain at the beginning went to Shuping, and from then on, the news of the famine in Shaochong spread to Nanzhen. He knew that it was Shuping who did it, so he didn't continue to investigate further.

Then he received a message from Sheng Lianshuo, saying that Zhou Sui had made a discovery and asked him to return to the palace immediately.

Fu Yao wondered in his heart, why didn't Zhou Sui let him continue the investigation when he found out, could it be that he found Shuping?

The matter has not yet been decided, Fu Yao can only listen to Sheng Lianshuo for the time being, and return to the palace immediately.

Xu is Gu Di still didn't worry about Fu Yao, so he put the plan to assassinate Sheng Yunzhi on his daily life.

On the third night of the return trip, Fu Yao's carriage was besieged by killers.

That group of killers seemed to be Gu Di's carefully cultivated dead soldiers, and their combat effectiveness was extremely strong. There weren't many people and horses brought by Fu Yao, and after a while, there were not many people left for them to kill, and now there were only five or six guards still fighting outside.

Although Sheng Yunzhi and Xu Fanning know some martial arts, they are all three-legged cat kung fu, and they can't resist those killers. So Fu Yao didn't go out and stayed in the carriage.

The coachman was still desperately rushing forward, and Fu Yao was always observing the battle situation outside, and he didn't understand why Shu Ping would send someone to assassinate them.

Soon the five or six guards couldn't resist it, and they all fell in a pool of blood.

With no guards to stop them, they quickly caught up with them with great skill, and after finishing off the coachman, they surrounded the carriage.

"What we are looking for is Sheng Yunzhi, and those who know each other will hand her over. In this way, you can still live, or don't blame us for being rude. Give you a cup of tea and think about it. The leader spoke.

"Look for me, are you sure you're right? It can't be Xu Xiujun's person......" Sheng Yunzhi pointed and asked incredulously.

"It's not. If Concubine Xu wanted to attack you, she would have done it a long time ago, so why wait until now. ”​

"So what now? Since they're looking for me, why don't I go out and meet them first?"

"You're looking for death, they're obviously here for your life."

"Then what else can I do, you can't handle so many people."

"I'll get out." Xu Fanning got up and was about to go out.

"Eh, what are you going to do, they're not looking for you. You don't usually hate me the most, why do you want to die for me at this time? ”​

"Do you think a cup of tea is a long time, otherwise we will all die here."

"I don't agree with that either. These people are not easy to deal with, but I am not unable to stop them. It's a big deal, I'll go out and drag, you go first. ”

At this time, Xu Fanning suddenly took out a bottle from his sleeve and opened it, and the defenseless Fu Yao and Sheng Yunzhi smelled the smell of the bottle, lost their strength and collapsed on the carriage.

Sheng Yunzhi wanted to speak, but she didn't even have the strength to speak.

"It's just a smell of a scent that can make people weak, and it will be restored in less than two moments. Also, I would like to say a few words. I've always been influenced by my aunt, and I've always been hostile to you, always thinking about being with you everywhere, and liking the same person as you. In the past few days, I have figured out that I may not like Fu Yao very much, I just don't want to admit defeat. Also, the marriage contract is also because of me, if I hadn't argued that I had to marry Fu Yao, my aunt wouldn't have remembered the marriage contract set by the previous king, and you wouldn't have been forced by my aunt to remove the county lord because of this. Now when I go out, I should pay all these debts owed to you and to the king on behalf of my aunt and for me. After speaking, Xu Fanning changed Sheng Yunzhi's shirt and took her waist card.

"I know it's easy to die, it doesn't clear us up, but it makes up for it. I'm sorry. Sheng Yunzhi and Fu Yao, both of you have to be well. ”

At the moment when Xu Fanning turned around, something crystal seemed to fall in his eyes.

In fact, Xu Fanning's nature is not bad, if it were not for Xu Xiujun's influence, they should be able to be friends.

After Xu Fanning got out of the car, he stabbed the horse with a hairpin, and the horse galloped out wildly, taking Fu Yao and Sheng Yunzhi out of the dangerous place.

Fortunately, the group of killers didn't know Sheng Yunzhi's appearance, and Xu Fanning took Sheng Yunzhi's coat and waist card and fooled him. Then they took Xu Fanning away, not knowing what they wanted to do.

After two moments of planting, the effect of the medicine passed, and Sheng Yunzhi still asked Fu Yao to turn around and want to go back to find Xu Fanning, because she really couldn't help it. It's just that they are no longer where they are, and they haven't found them for a long time.

Who knows where they will go, and they are weak, so they can't help much in finding Xu Fanning. So in order not to delay the trip, Fu Yao and Sheng Yunzhi decided to go back first, so that they could ask Sheng Lianshuo for help.

Three days later, Fu Yao and Sheng Yunzhi returned to the capital.

Although it was already late, Sheng Lianshuo still summoned Fu Yao into the palace, they talked for a long time, and after the talk, Sheng Lianshuo let him go.

Could it be that Zhou Sui found something along the way, Fu Yao didn't know.

After leaving the palace, Fu Yao came to the Drunken Immortal Tower and asked Peng Quan to contact Feng Chu.

"Is it important for the prince to be so late?"

"Tonight, Sheng Lianshuo summoned me to the palace and asked many tentative words. I don't know if the secret guard he sent found something, but I always felt that he was a little suspicious of me. ”​

"The prince doesn't have to worry. We have created enough rumors, and now the people of Shaochong are also unstable. If Sheng Lianshuo really knows, it would be good for the prince to find a way to get out and return to Shuping, and we can now go to war directly with Shao Chong. If he doesn't know, let's keep building momentum. ”​

"Okay."

Early in the morning of the second day, Fu Yao entered the palace on duty, and Sheng Lianshuo did not let the ministers leave, but left the ministers in the palace.

"Subordinate Zhou Sui, the king's secret guard, has something to report to the ministers." The person who spoke was none other than Zhou Sui, who was slowly entering the temple.

Many ministers already had some doubts about Sheng Lianshuo leaving them, and now they don't know what Sheng Lianshuo wants to do, so they are talking about it.

"After many days of investigation, the subordinates found that Fu Yao was not the second son of the Fu family in Laizhou, but the second son of Shuping."

Again, the ministers began to talk about it, and they thought it was ridiculous. Fu Yao has been in Shaochong for more than ten years, and he is deeply trusted by Sheng Lianshuo and has become the commander of the guards of Shaochong's palace.

"Before Fu Yao came to Shaochong, King Shuping once claimed that the second son Gu Mingzuo was sick, and he had been sick in bed for more than ten years, and he had never been out of the palace, and even the palace people could not enter. Don't you think it's too much of a coincidence, ministers? There was also the Fu family back then, in fact, King Shuping had long placed Shao Chong's eyeliner, the purpose was to facilitate Fu Yao to come in the future. Shuping and Shao Chong have been at odds for many years, why did Fu Yao easily enter the capital of Shuping without clearing the customs and the king's edict? These...... Shouldn't Commander Fu give an explanation?"

"Fu Yao, what else do you have to say?"

"The minister really doesn't know about the affairs of Shuping, and the Fu family is also a native of Shaochong, and there is also the matter of entering the capital of Shuping, and the minister is also telling the truth."

"You still want to quibble? This king ordered Zhou Sui to follow you after you left the palace yesterday, and the drunken immortal building had already closed but let you in, and then Zhou Sui also saw the envoy of Shuping who came to Shaochong. How do you want to explain that?"

"Now that the king has seen it, the minister has nothing to say. Why did the king go around in such a big circle, and he also left the ministers in a hurry, wasting the time of the ministers, and directly tied up the ministers. ”​

"Since it was Commander Fu's request, then Commander Fu's wish was granted. Come! ”​

"Brother!"

Originally, the guards were already about to bring Fu Yao to prison, and everything was going well, but they were suddenly interrupted by Sheng Yunzhi who came.

"You ...... Am you mistaken? Fu Yao, how can he ...... How can it be a spy of Shuping? He's been with you for more than ten years, don't you know him?"

"Sheng Yunzhi! Who asked you to come? Get out of here. ”​

Sheng Lianshuo was worried about Sheng Yunzhi's safety, after all, Fu Yao was a guard with a knife, and he had a weapon in his hand.

Obviously, Sheng Lianshuo's worries were justified. In the next second, Fu Yao put the sword on Sheng Yunzhi's neck.

"Fu Yao!"

"Fu Yao?"

Sheng Lianshuo and Sheng Yunzhi, one is angry, and the other is puzzled.

"The king was really careless, and he actually let the minister pick up a bargain. Since Sheng Yunzhi took the initiative to send it to the door, it is no wonder that the minister is not guilty. ”​

"Fu Yao! What do you want?"

"Don't worry, when I return to Shuping, I will naturally send her back. I still want to compete with the king openly, I don't know if the king dares to fight?"

"Yes, this king promises you. However, please also be faithful, keep, promise, and promise. Sheng Lianshuo held back his anger and said word by word.

"Nature."

Then Fu Yao left the hall with Sheng Yunzhi, without Sheng Lianshuo's order, no one dared to stop him along the way, which was very smooth.

"You really ...... Are you a peacemaker?"

"Yes."

"That'...... Why did you come to Shaochong?"

"Why do you bother to ask me this kind of question, I think you've heard of it."

"I don't believe it, I want to hear it from you."

"Okay, then I'll say it myself. As they said, I am the second son of Shuping, and I came to Shaochong to infiltrate the palace to assist Feng Chu, and secondly, to get to know Shaochong in all aspects, so that I can know myself and the enemy. ”​

"Fu Yao, stop it. Don't you know Shao Chong after so many years of coming to Shao Chong, Shao Chong's troops are not something that Shu Ping can contend with. ”​

"Shut up! Now that Xu Xiujun and Ji Ren have been used by Shuping, Shao Chong has also lost the support of the people, and he is just a shell, why is it difficult to fight?"

"Attacking Shao Chong is not as simple as you think! Fu Yao, I'm afraid you'll ......"

"Enough! I don't want to hear it anymore. Fu Yao raised the sword again, "The sword has no eyes, if you speak again, I don't guarantee that I won't kill you." ”

"Fu ......" Sheng Yunzhi still didn't give up, but the sword in Fu Yao's hand was a little closer to her, and she didn't see that Fu Yao was laughing, so she still closed her mouth.

Ten days later, they arrived at the Shuping Palace, and Fu Yao locked Sheng Yunzhi next to Fu Yao's dormitory in the Changlin Palace.

"Fu Yao, what are you bringing Poria for?"

"She came on her own."

"Yes, it's because Poria is not worried about the master, so she has to follow." Poria hurriedly explained.

"Don't worry, as long as she is obedient, I won't touch her, and neither do you." After speaking, Fu Yao went out and locked the door.

"Fu Yao! Didn't you say you'd send me back when you came back, you talk! Sheng Yunzhi knocked on the door, but no one paid attention to her.

It seems that Fu Yao doesn't plan to send her back.

After another ten days, Sheng Lianshuo did not wait for the news of Sheng Yunzhi's return, but waited for the news of Shuping's sneak attack on Shaochong, and now Pangzhou has fallen.
