Chapter 17 The Man Who Reigns
After a few hours, Wen Yeting faintly heard the sound of marching footsteps in the distance, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the chief, he woke him up and said to him: "My enemy is here, you can do it yourself." ”
With that, he hid in the haystack, determined to see if there was anyone who seemed to be a shadow guard. The chief priest climbed out of the carriage and fled into the woods.
The leader was Tao Xuanju, who had sensed movement in the woods, so he ordered the soldiers to go after him.
Wen Yeting found out that this person was the person who raided the house in the main secretary's mansion in the early morning, and usually the shadow guards did not show their true faces, but he did not hide it. Judging from his dress, he was wearing a cloak, and he didn't look like an ordinary guard, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
Who knew that Tao Xuanju had already discovered that there was someone hidden behind the haystack, so he drew his knife and split the haystack. Wen Yeting turned over and flashed behind the tree next to him, thinking that a fierce battle was inevitable.
Wen Yeting didn't want to fight him head-on, so he took out a hidden weapon and tried to force Tao Xuanju back, and then while he resisted, he broke through the defense and captured. Tao Xuanju divided five by two, resisted one by one, and rushed forward with a long knife in his hand, while Wen Yeting jumped up the tree, turned over and flew behind Tao Xuanju, grabbed his shoulder with his hand, and the two resisted.
Tao Xuanju simply turned around suddenly, trying to shake off Wen Yeting's hand, but Wen Yeting ripped off the cloak on his body.
Wen Yeting saw the token on Tao Xuanju's waist at this time, at first glance, it was indeed the same as the one in his hand, he wanted to get closer to confirm, so he took advantage of Tao Xuanju's knife to jump on top of the knife and looked down.
By this time he had realized that the token was indeed the same, so he wanted to retreat, and fled to the forest that he had been optimistic about.
After returning to the inn, Wen Yeting couldn't hold back the resentment in his heart, and couldn't calm down for a long time.
Now, he has finally concluded that the death of the mother concubine is indeed related to Ying Yiwei, and the token is also held by Ying Yiwei, and it seems that the main envoy behind this is likely to be Wang Miao.
Wen Yeting opened the window, wanting this wind to blow away the sorrow in his heart, he had too many questions, and he didn't know where to solve them.
Why did the chief say that the matter of breaking the intestine grass would affect the safety of Yudu? Could it be that the real seller behind this broken intestine grass is actually Yudu? So the father was forced to provoke fame by this profit, so he was indifferent to the death of his mother? But that's his concubine, but it's not as good as the copper-smelling money? Why did he persecute the people of Qindu by such despicable means? Although his heart of unity has been around for a long time, but the gentleman has done something and has not done something, is he still the father I once respected?
Wen Yeting's heart was like numbness, he turned out to be a king, in front of the power and profit and the eternal stability of the country, he had to look at the ocean and sigh, don't dare anyone. He thought that as an official, with the blue sky on his head, his feet on the loess, the worries of the people, the joy of the people, the first and the soldiers; As a monarch, benevolence and righteousness come first, killing decisively, people-oriented, internal and external, diligent and virtuous. It turned out that everything was just a pipe dream.
At the moment, he was so discouraged that he didn't even know how to deal with himself in front of everyone in the future.
Thinking of the people in Qindu who were in dire straits, and thinking that the great achievements of Yudu were forged with the pain of others, he had no place to kill himself. He thought that he should stop, he should resist, and he should turn all those ugly, evil, evil and filthy things upside down.
If he doesn't suffer the pain of scraping bones and healing wounds?
Thinking of this, he seemed to understand what he should do.
Solving Wang Miao is the trend of the times, the best of both worlds. On the one hand, she can work with the flowers and fight side by side, not only to complete her mission, but also to avenge her mother; On the one hand, the trade of poisons can be terminated, as well as other hidden dangers that may arise in the future, so as to prevent the father from being obsessed and going astray, causing wars and disasters to the country and the people.
Now the time has come when the arrow is ready to be fired.
Every night in the middle of the night, Wen Yeting would go to the vicinity of Huajian's residence, and leave when she saw the lights in the house go out, knowing that she was safe and sound.
Today he wanted to find an opportunity to tell Hanama that he had identified the murderer of his mother's concubine, and that he could finally stand by her side with him and go to the soup with her.
So, when there was no one around, he climbed into the courtyard, crept to the door of her house, and knocked lightly on the window edge twice.
She heard a sound and asked mellowly, "Who?" ”
Wen Yeting took out a wooden hibiscus and put it on the window, and the lights in the room were clearly illuminated.
She noticed the movement outside the window, but when she saw the appearance reflected on the window paper, she unconsciously asked, "What is this?" ”
"Wood Hibiscus." Hanama replied softly, "I guess it's him." ”
So she got up and put on her coat to open the door, and sure enough, Wen Yeting was holding a flower in her hand, standing tall outside the door, with a rippling face.
"What are you doing on this big night?" She said as she walked back into the house.
Wen Yeting closed the door with his hand and replied, "I'll pick flowers." No, this is for you. ”
She took the flower in his hand and gently placed it on the table, "What are you doing, why are you sending flowers?" I've seen enough of the flowers I've seen on a regular basis. ”
"But the flowers this man gave are still different. Okay, Caicai, how are you hurting? Does it still hurt? Wen Yeting asked mellowly.
"Almost, why did you come to me so late? You won't be so well-informed and know that I'm going to Yuhuatai tomorrow, come and practice it for me. She replied, continuing to pack her bags.
Wen Yeting was surprised: "Ah, you're going to Yuhuatai tomorrow, very good, very good." I watched the sky last night and thought that you might not see me for a few days, so I came to see you. ”
She gave him a blank look, goosebumps rose all over, and she muttered in her heart: "I really can't stand it, can I drive him away among the flowers?" ”
Wen Yeting felt a little embarrassed when she saw that she was unmoved, so she sat down, looked at the burned candle, and said, "Cai Cai, I confirmed today that the token is indeed owned by the Shadow Guard. ”
She was stunned for a moment, clenched her fingers, sat down next to him, and asked, "How did you find out?" ”
"I thought that after the Foreign Trade Department knew that someone had secretly investigated the matter of breaking the intestines, he would definitely not sit still in the next few days, so I squatted in the main director's mansion all day long, afraid that he would abscond in fear of crime. But what I didn't expect was that today someone led troops to imprison all his family members, and I went to the Foreign Trade Department to rob the main department, trying to lure out the shadow guards to hunt me down. And guess what? Indeed, the man at the head had a token on his waist, the same as the one in my hand. It's exactly the same as the one of Holly's predecessors. It is enough to show that nine times out of ten, the person who killed my mother concubine was Wang Miao's shadow guard, and Holly's predecessor was not the only one who had that token. ”
"And what are you going to do next?"
Wen Yeting looked up at her and solemnly replied: "Avenging your mother is bound to win!" Wang Miao must die. ”
She nodded, a small sigh of relief.
Wen Yeting continued: "There is another thing, the chief secretary inadvertently said that he leaked his mouth, he said......"
Her hands clenched, "What did he say?" ”
"He said that Yudu was also involved in the matter of breaking the intestine grass."
Looking at Wen Yeting, who was obviously a little decadent in front of her, she seemed to feel ashamed at this moment.
Wen Yeting was not surprised to see her, and asked, "Cai Cai, you wouldn't have known earlier, would you?" ”
"It's just speculation, because those caravans are all from Yudu, but there is no definite evidence to show who they were instructed by, so ......"
She wanted to defend a few words, but she felt that she was a little unconfident at the moment, and she was mistaking Wen Yeting.
Wen Yeting lowered his eyes, as if he was pondering something, and then chuckled, "Who can it be?" From the tone of the chief, I already knew what kind of person was behind this. It turns out that the importance of Shuzhou is that it is a knife for the father to unify the world, and this knife is like a ghost, entangled with Qindu; and like a sharp edge, piercing my heart. Although I don't know what the plan of my father and Wang Miao is, I know that what he has done is not tolerated, and what is different from righteousness, I have to do my best to stop him, otherwise it is the people of the world who will suffer, and it is each of us who will suffer. ”
She was shocked by Wen Yeting's words, and she was speechless for a long time, only feeling a little more praise and trust for the man in front of her.
"It's just that I don't know how to tell Wei Yun about this, in the final analysis, the fault lies with me Yudu, and I shouldn't hide it because of reason. But this is really, it's really hard to speak......" After saying that, Wen Yeting lowered his head and clenched his fists, as if he had a grievance that he couldn't vent.
She thought for a while, and then admonished, "Maybe it's feasible to make up for it?" Qin wanted an explanation, as long as Wang Miao satisfactorily resolved the matter, the poison trade would be terminated. Then we will try our best to help Wei Yun detoxify, and the Qin capital will be able to return to the peaceful and prosperous era. You go back and set up a law to persuade your father and the emperor to stop him from the precipice. If he first woke up like a dream, then everyone would be happy; If he insists on going his own way......"
"If he insists on doing it, no, I won't let him do that. I don't understand, the Central Plains has been politically harmonious for nearly a hundred years, and the people are living and working in peace and contentment, why do we have to make life miserable because of that illusory unification hegemony, and the people are not able to make a living? Moreover, the lord of the Qin capital has always been kind-hearted, not a mediocre person, and has a strong military force and elite generals. If the two sides are at war, they will surely be shrouded in horse leather and starved all over the land, so why bother? Wen Yeting frowned, and his fingers dug into the flesh hard.
She understood what Wen Yeting said, because in history, this war did happen.
That shows that it was not Wen Yeting's ambition at that time, but that his persuasion to return to the capital failed.
Is there any way to convince His Majesty Yudu?
She thought about this question over and over again, but she couldn't solve it.
Wen Yeting was also worried at this time, how should he face Wei Yun, and how could he dissuade his father, who had already been separated from him?
Although the two are in the same room, they have their own thoughts.
After a long time, Wen Yeting saw that it was getting late, and said: "You hurry up and rest, you have to be more careful after entering the Imperial Flower Terrace, and when Yuanzhi arrives in Jinyun City, I will find a way to let him get in too." Don't refuse, I'm not at ease if you're alone in it, and I'm lacking in skills, don't dislike the stupidity of Yuanzhi. ”
She didn't have any reason to refuse, she just replied, "Okay, if Yuanzhi comes, I'll say hello for him." Go back. ”
"Take care of yourself, I'm leaving, Caicai." With that, Wen Yeting got up and threw himself into the infinite night.
"I said, he won't." The sound of the flowers sounded again as promised.
"I was wrong." She looked at Wen Ye's distant back and sighed.
