Chapter 84: Zhao Xuan's True Identity
Meng Xingci raised his eyebrows: "Zhao Gongzi still refuses to tell his identity?" ”
Zhao Xuan chuckled, his eyebrows were full of pride: "I know that Ye Xun once sent someone to Jiangxi to investigate my identity, but I don't think he found anything." As for my identity, as long as you are willing to submit to me, I will naturally tell you the truth. ”
Meng Xingci looked at him expressionlessly: "Back then, Emperor Taizu had two sons, and the eldest prince was the first emperor to inherit the throne as the crown prince; The other is said to have made a big mistake and was sent back to Jiangbei and was not allowed to leave for life, it is said that ...... Not even a title. ”
Zhao Xuan's expression froze, he didn't expect Meng Xingci to be able to guess his identity.
Meng Xingci said again: "This second prince is said to have died of a serious illness when the first emperor succeeded to the throne, and one of his concubines became pregnant and was buried in the fire with him. I guess that the concubine did not die, but escaped, and you are the descendant of the second prince of Emperor Taizu! ”
Zhao Xuan's eyes were complicated: "How do you know?" ”
Meng Xingci said: "It's not difficult to guess, Emperor Taizu was King Ning Xuan before the incident, and there happens to be a Xuan character in your name." It is said that Emperor Taizu was very cold to the second prince when Emperor Taizu was partial to the empress, and it seems that what he said is true. ”
Zhao Xuan's face was unpredictable, and he thought of what he had said to Meng Xingci, which made him feel ashamed.
Meng Xingci picked up the teacup, drank a cup of tea slowly, and his eyes were undisguised mocking: "I also know that the reason why the second prince provoked Emperor Taizu's disgust back then was because he colluded with the Dongying people, collaborated with the enemy and treason, and let the uncommanded soldiers die on the battlefield. Emperor Taizu remembered the love of father and son, spared his life, and then sent him back to Jiangbei. ”htTρs://()Τ/
These old stories were told to her by her grandfather Meng Qingyan before her imperial examination. Meng Qingyan has been the first assistant for many years, and has experienced the events of the year, so he is very clear about these inside information.
"Unexpectedly, his descendants colluded with the Tatars to murder meritorious generals, and they are really a nest of snakes and rats, and if there is a father, there must be a son!" Meng Xing said word by word, his eyes cold.
Zhao Xuan's eyes were cold, and he looked at Meng Xingci with murderous aura in his eyes.
Meng Xingci was unmoved, she looked at Zhao Xuan with some pride: "What should I call you?" It's better to call it Zhao Gongzi, after all, Emperor Taizu didn't give you any title back then. After a pause, her eyes were cold: "Zhao Gongzi is making such a big move, is he trying to seek power and usurp the throne?" ”
Zhao Xuan's face also turned cold: "What? Do you think I can't do it? ”
Meng Xingci smiled, "By what?" Did you murder a veteran by poisoning? After a pause, her voice sank: "With all due respect, Zhao Gongzi is only afraid that it is a fool's dream!" ”
Zhao Xuan also smiled, "Whether I can do it or not, Master Meng doesn't have to worry about it." Master Meng is still worried about himself now! ”
Meng Xingci was startled, and he heard the sound of weapons colliding outside.
Meng Xingci's expression was grim: "You surrounded the kindergarten?!" Where did you come from? ”
Zhao Xuan smiled heartily: "It seems that Master Meng doesn't know me so thoroughly, but he didn't let me be so frustrated." ”
Meng Xingci frowned: "There are only some veterans here, and they are of no use to you at all." ”
Zhao Xuan tugged at the corners of his lips, but his gaze fell on her face: "What do you think I came here for in person?" ”
Without waiting for Meng Xingci to think, Zhao Xuan said: "It's you, my goal has always been only you." That's why I've been courting you, but it's a pity that you don't want to accept it. Then don't blame me for this approach, although the process has been a little twists and turns, but the result is good, and I can accept it. ”
Meng Xingci sneered: "I didn't know that I was so valuable. ”
"Of course you have." Zhao Xuan said loudly, "The value of the children and grandchildren of the Meng family is naturally worth my risk. ”
The Jiangnan family is looking forward to the Meng family, and Meng Xingci is the next head of the Meng family. It can be said that Meng Xingci's value is even higher than Ye Xun's.
Meng Xingci sneered and said, "You think I'll be held hostage by you? Even if I die, I will not be able to join you. ”
Zhao Xuan sighed: "Haven't you figured out your current situation?" Master Meng, you are not qualified to negotiate conditions with me now. After a pause, his expression froze: "If you don't agree, then I will have to wash the kindergarten in blood!" ”
Song Nian said calmly: "Are you dead when you return to the army?" Hou Ye will get the news soon, you can't escape. ”
"Today, the Tatar army will raid, and now Hou Ye is probably leading a large army to defend against the enemy. When he knows the news here, I'm afraid that the kindergarten will die! Zhao Xuan said indifferently.
Meng Xingci finally understood, Zhao Xuan came prepared. No wonder the Suiyuan Dart Bureau would receive the business bodyguard, she should have thought of it a long time ago. Now that the war is on the verge of breaking out, who will go to business? This is clearly Zhao Xuan's opening of the Suiyuan dart game. HtΤρS://()t/hττPs://()T/
Ye Xun went to Songshan County again, and now Suiyuan County is completely under Zhao Xuan's control. Meng Xingci still remembered that Ye Xun once said that Zhao Xuan's five shops occupied the most critical position in the west of the city.
They have been wary of Zhao Xuan, but they still follow his way.
Now, Meng Xingci calmed down: "Zhao Gongzi is really calculating, but I, Meng Xingci, am definitely not at the mercy of others." The big deal is death, and I will never dishonor the name of the Meng family's loyalty! ”
Zhao Xuan looked at her with some pity: "Do you think I did so many things just to kill you?" After a pause, he sank his face: "What if I washed the kindergarten with blood today?" Can the name of your Meng family's loyalty still be kept? ”
Meng Xingci's expression was grim, and now the outside world is rumoring that she has done so many things for the sake of disarmament. If the veterans of the kindergarten died, it was still Zhao Xuan, and Zhao Xuan and Meng Xing had a very personal relationship, but everyone knew it. The world will only think that all this is from Meng Xingci's instructions, just for disarmament!
This misunderstanding can no longer be solved.
Zhao Xuan looked at her and said, "Master Meng is a smart person, why should he be so decisive?" Why not be unto me, and I will treat the adults as if they were guests, and will save these people? ”
Meng Xingci shook his head: "That's different, if I go with you, then I will be the real rebel and thief." I am dying here today, even if I will be misunderstood for a while, I believe that the son of the world will clear my grievances and restore my innocence. I'd rather die innocently than survive. ”
Zhao Xuan's face suddenly sank, and he sneered: "It seems that you really believe in Ye Xun, but it's a pity that you don't have a choice now!" ”
After Zhao Xuan finished speaking, he waved his hand, but no one came in.
Zhao Xuan: "??? ”
Meng Xingci is also a little strange.
In the dim and damp mine tunnel, Lu Ye carried the mine basket on his back and the mine pickaxe in his hand, and walked forward step by step.

From an outsider's point of view, there was nothing in front of Lu Ye, but in fact, in the young man's field of vision, a translucent shadow could be seen.
It was like the shadow of a tree, gray and invisible, with luxuriant foliage, branches parting from one-third of the body to the left and right, supporting a semicircular canopy.
It's been more than a year since he came to this world called Kyushu, and Lu Ye still hasn't figured out what this thing is, he only knows that when his attention is focused enough, this shadow tree has a chance to appear in the field of vision, and others won't notice it at all.
It's a tragic life. The boy sighed.
A year ago, he woke up abruptly in this strange world, and before he could get acquainted with the environment, his forces were overrun by a gang of thieves, many of whom were killed, and he and some other young men and women became prisoners of the gang of thieves, and then sent into this vein to become a lowly miner.
Afterwards, he learned from the scattered conversations of others that the force he was in was affiliated with the Haotian League, a sect called Xuantian Sect.
The name of this sect sounds cool and tyrannical, but in fact it is just a small sect that is not in the stream.
The one who captured the Xuantian Sect was the Evil Moon Valley under the command of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains.
The Haotian Alliance, the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, is the two major camp organizations in this world, both of which are formed by the union of countless large and small forces, fighting each other with the intention of completely destroying each other, and it is said that it has lasted for hundreds of years.
In Lu Ye's view, such a battle is simply a confrontation between the orderly camp and the evil camp, and he was just accidentally caught up in such a tide of confrontation.
Over the years, wars have raged on the Kyushu Continent, and every year small forces like Xuantian Sect have been uprooted, but soon more forces have sprung up, occupying various territories, making the situation even more chaotic.
Mine slave is mine slave Lu Ye comforted himself, compared to those who were killed, he was still alive.
It is not that he has any special skills to survive, but that Evil Moon Valley needs some miscellaneous servants to do things, and a person like Lu Ye, who has no cultivation and is still young, is undoubtedly the best choice.
In fact, the mine slaves in this vein are not only the people of the Xuantian Sect, but also the disciples of some other small families and small sects.
The strength of the Evil Moon Valley is not weak, and it has captured a lot of territory over the years, and the original forces on these territories have naturally been destroyed, and some of the available manpower has been sent to various places by the Evil Moon Valley to be enslaved.
These people, without exception, have one characteristic, they have not yet opened their minds, and they have not cultivated in their bodies, so they are very easy to control.
There is a saying in the Kyushu continent that it is difficult for a demon to transform without opening his mind, and it is difficult for a person to practice without opening his mind.
If you want to practice, you need to open the spiritual aperture, and only when you open the spiritual aperture can you have the qualification to practice.
Opening the spiritual aperture is not a simple matter, ordinary people can open the spiritual aperture after systematic training, but about one hundred, if they are from a cultivation family or sect, with the guidance of elders, this proportion may be higher.
Lu Ye failed to open his spiritual aperture, so he could only mine in this dim mine to make a living.
However, the mine slave is not without a way out, if he can successfully open his mind and find the person in charge to report to him, he will have the opportunity to participate in an assessment, and if the assessment is successful, he can become a disciple of Evil Moon Valley.
However, there are very few mine slaves who can open their minds, and how can they still open their minds when they work all day long in this dim environment and can't even eat enough.
Therefore, basically ninety percent of the mine slaves have accepted their fate and work hard every day just for a full meal.
Lu Ye didn't have any sense of belonging to the Xuantian Sect, after all, as soon as he came to this world, the Xuantian Sect was destroyed, and he didn't know who those people in the sect were.
He also didn't want to be a disciple of Evil Moon Valley, this was not a serious force, just hearing the name gave people a sense of evil, and sooner or later it would be cold.
But you can't stay here as a mining slave for the rest of your life, what kind of system is it, but he is also an elite in the new era, if you don't have a dream, what is the difference between being a man and a salted fish.
So he has been trying to enlighten himself for the past year, originally he thought that only the shadow tree he could see could provide him with some wonderful help, but until now, this shadow tree is still just a shadow, no matter what help, sometimes it will affect his eyesight.
Lu Ye seriously doubted that there was something wrong with his eyes.

After turning a corner, a faint light appeared in the distance, which was one of the exits of the mine.

Today's harvest is good, hand over the ore in the basket, you should be able to get three points of contribution, counting the accumulation of the previous days, there are about twelve points, two points are used to exchange for two steamed buns, and the remaining ten points are just enough to exchange for a Qi and Blood Pill.

Qi and Blood Pill is a very low-level pill, not a thing to assist in opening the body, but if you want to open the body, you must be full of qi and blood, although the Qi and Blood Pill is low-level, it is suitable for people like Lu Ye who have not opened the body.
The reason why Evil Moon Valley is willing to take out the Qi and Blood Pill is not because of their good intentions, but because they are well versed in the way of people's hearts, and this cheapest and low-grade pill can make people with hope work harder and harder.
For example, Lu Ye is very diligent every day.
There were still thirty zhang away from the exit of the mine, and Lu Ye's gaze casually glanced at a corner in front of the left, where there was a boulder lying horizontally.
He continued to walk forward until he was about ten feet, and then he put down the mining basket he was carrying behind him, tightened the mining pickaxe in his hand, and took out a moderately sized stone from the mining basket, and weighed it slightly.

The next moment, he ran towards the boulder, approached the boulder, slid sideways, stepped on the rock wall of the mine road, and the whole person swooped down behind the boulder with the help of the rebounding force, like a vigorous cheetah.
The two figures were half-crouching behind the boulder, using the boulder to hide their figures, but they didn't expect that anyone would find their traces.
Hearing the movement, it was too late to see Lu Ye wanting to get up.
Under the frightened gaze of the two, Lu Ye raised his hand and threw out the ore in his hand, hitting the bridge of the nose of one of them, and the person immediately screamed miserably, and fell to the ground on his back, blood flowing from his face.
Lu Ye's other mine pickaxe shot again, but he didn't hit the second person, and the person reacted well and dodged with his head.
However, Lu Ye had already rushed in front of him, kicked down, and hit the other party's lower abdomen, the man was suddenly full of pain, fell out, fell to the ground, and spit out a mouthful of sour water.
Lu Ye stepped forward, grabbed the other party's hair with one hand, saw the other party's face clearly, and sneered: Who am I, it turned out to be you two brothers!
He knew these two people, they were disciples of the Liu family, and after the territory where the Liu family was located was captured by the Evil Moon Valley, some young disciples of the Liu family were sent here to serve as mine slaves.
Strictly speaking, the two brothers Lu Ye and Liu are also connected by the same fate.

This time the smash was not light, and the second child of the Liu family only snorted, and was directly knocked out.
Lu Ye walked towards Boss Liu, who had been injured by him before.

Boss Liu's forehead was broken, his eyes were blurred with blood, and he vaguely saw Lu Ye walking towards him, and he was so frightened that he crawled: Spare your life, my brothers didn't know that you were coming, and they thought it was someone else who spared their lives!
The two Liu brothers were sneakily ambushed in front of the exit of the mine, naturally they didn't have any good intentions.
Before these two people were arrested, they were both pampered, even if they became mining slaves, they didn't want to endure hardship, but the status of mining slaves was low, and the people of Evil Moon Valley didn't treat mining slaves as human beings at all, and if they didn't have ore exchange contributions, they couldn't exchange food at all.
Therefore, the two brothers often squatted in front of a certain exit of the mine road, robbing the lone miners, and many of them were unlucky, not only were the ore they worked hard to mine every day robbed, but they were also beaten half to death.

Last time, they just wanted to rob Lu Ye, but they were not opponents and were taught a lesson.
Unexpectedly, it was only a few days before I met these two brothers again.
The same rice raises hundreds of people, and there are people like the Liu brothers who are lazy and lazy like the Liu brothers, and there are also people with dreams like Lu Ye.
In the past year, Lu Ye's contributions through the ore exchange, in addition to ensuring daily food and clothing, have all been exchanged for Qi and Blood Pills.
In total, he took no less than thirty Qi and Blood Pills.
This has created Lu Ye's physique stronger than most mine slaves, although his body is not strong, but the strength contained in his body is already better than that of ordinary people.
Dealing with two lazy mining slaves is naturally not a problem.
Boss Liu was still begging for mercy, but Lu Ye didn't hear it, grabbed his hair, raised the stone in his other hand, and smashed it down.
After more than a year of life as a mining slave, Lu Ye has seen too many tragedies, and he has long understood a truth, in this world of cannibalism, any pity and sympathy are useless.
The miners are not all in harmony, and the miners from different forces are destined to be unable to unite, and for the sake of a good ore, the miners will often break their heads and bleed.
There were daily deaths in the mines, and every distance one could see a dry skeleton scattered on the ground.
There are not a few mining slaves who starved to death because they were robbed.
Boss Liu fell in response.
Lu Ye picked up his mining pickaxe, put the mining basket on his back again, and walked towards the exit, he didn't kill the Liu brothers, not because he was soft-hearted, but the injured mine slaves generally don't live long here.

After only a few steps, a person suddenly rushed in in a panic at the exit.

I don't care about you! The man snorted and swept towards Lu Ye with a slap.
At this moment, Lu Ye's body was cold, just because he saw a light blue light flowing in the palm of the other party's palm.
It was the light of spiritual power, in other words, it was a monk who shot at him!
Only by opening the spiritual aperture can one be qualified to practice and be qualified to be called a monk.

The monk's spiritual power is an extremely magical power, Lu Ye has seen a monk in the Evil Moon Valley make a move, although he is not too powerful, but that person just slapped a piece of ore with a light palm, it was only after seeing that magical scene that Lu Ye made up his mind that he must open his spiritual aperture and become a monk.
He had also secretly assessed that even if the cultivator of Evil Moon Valley was the lowest, he could easily beat ten of himself.
So when he realized that it was a monk who attacked him, Lu Ye knew that he was about to be in trouble.
At the moment of life and death, he stopped his pace and jumped backwards suddenly.
His chest was numb, the sound of a fracture sounded, and Lu Ye flew upside down and fell to the ground.
The sharp pain cleared his mind a lot, and he immediately got up after realizing that he was still alive.
Hey! The monk who made the shot was a little surprised, although he didn't use all his strength to slap the palm just now, but it shouldn't be something that the mine slave could bear.
Seeing the face of the mine slave clearly through the glimmer, he blurted out: Lu Ye?
Lu Ye had already put on a posture of turning around and running away at this moment, and he was also stunned after hearing the voice: Steward Yang?
This monk surnamed Yang was a small steward in the mine, and Lu Ye often dealt with him, because the Qi and Blood Pill was exchanged from him, so they were also familiar with each other.
Steward Yang is very optimistic about Lu Ye, after all, it is rare to see a hard-working mine slave like him.

However, if you are optimistic and optimistic, there is no special preferential treatment, and there is no enlightenment for a day, and there is an insurmountable gap between mortals like Lu Ye and monks.
After recognizing Lu Ye, Steward Yang was relieved that he couldn't slap the other party to death with one palm, Lu Ye had exchanged a lot of Qi and Blood Pills from him this year, and his physical fitness was already stronger than that of ordinary mining slaves, plus he just hit casually, and he didn't want to deliberately kill people, so it was not surprising that the other party could survive.
Opposite Steward Yang, Lu Ye beat a drum in his heart.
The monks of Evil Moon Valley generally don't care about the life or death of the miners, and they also know that the miners will often get into fights and brawls in the veins, so they basically don't pay attention to them unless they meet them.
Lu Ye just beat the Liu brothers on the head and bleed, fainted to the ground, turned his head and slapped Steward Yang, in Lu Ye's opinion, this is clearly Steward Yang is teaching himself.

Just when he was thinking nonsense, Steward Yang had already shown a look of surprise, as if it was a good thing to meet Lu Ye here, he stepped forward and grabbed Lu Ye's shoulder: Follow me! “
