Chapter 137: The Man Who Played Chess

In the Jiangzhou territory, the most ordinary boat carries the most noble woman in the world.

Luo Qingzhi asked, "So, at that time, he doubted my background?"

Xia Ji nodded, "At first, Your Majesty didn't believe it at all, thinking it was just a coincidence, so I went to find your Jade Butterfly and found the Yuan Palace Order."

Luo Qingzhi asked, "He, since he found Yuan Gongling, he also left her..."

Xia Ji said, "Of course, at the beginning, His Majesty wanted to secretly solve the Yuan Palace Order, so that this matter would be buried deep underground."

"But," Xia Ji sighed, "Your Majesty said that he doesn't want you to be kept in the dark forever, he wants you to make your own choices."

「……」

Luo Qingzhi's heart trembled, he could understand how difficult it was for Gao Yan to make this decision, he had no heirs at that time, although there was no precedent for a woman to be the emperor in this dynasty, but it was not impossible.

With this explanation, Luo Qingzhi was suddenly relieved about everything Gao Yan had done before, and those were just worries about her sister as an elder brother.

Xia Ji continued: "Later, His Majesty's poison has reached the point of insolvability, and his plan has also begun."

Luo Qingzhi said, "The first step is to summon me back to Beijing."

Xia Ji nodded, "However, how to summon you logically now, it is also very elegant, after all, at that time, the Jin family was still a threat."

"Arou, it's your people." Luo Qingzhi used a declarative tone.

"Yes." Xia Ji said, "As long as it's for you, whatever the county lord does, he is willing."

Luo Qingzhi snorted coldly, "Then it's how to make me know Gao Zhen."

Xia Ji shook his head, "No, Gao Zhen's matter is really an accident, Your Majesty, the last thing you want is to let you walk with Gao Zhen."

Luo Qingzhi nodded, believing this statement.

"Because of Gao Zhen's accident, Your Majesty had to adjust the plan so that you could see Gao Zhen kill the county lord with his own hands, so that you could be separated and Gao Zhen could be executed."

Xia Ji shook his head, "However, we didn't expect that the county lord would like Gao Zhen."

"As a last resort," Xia Ji paused for a moment and said, "We had to let him out first, but fortunately, some of the Jin family's problems were successfully resolved."

Luo Qingzhi guessed, "Then, it's the matter of Guozijian, what you want is for everyone to see the difference between the family and the poor family, and you want to give more opportunities to the poor students."

"Yes." Xia Ji nodded.

Luo Qingzhi exhaled, "Solve the internal worries, and then there is the external trouble, Ningzhou, for the military power of the Mu family's army."

"Yes, but the affairs of the Bagan Army have nothing to do with Your Majesty." Xia Ji hurriedly explained.

Luo Qingzhi said soberly: "However, he will also calculate, otherwise, how can I get the Mu family token logically."

「……」

Xia Ji did not deny it.

"One last question." Luo Qingzhi asked, "What happened that night?"

Xia Ji shook his head, "I, I really don't know."

"When I went to Yizhou to look for you," Xia Ji said, "you had lost your memory."

"I did stay in that prison." Luo Qingzhi asked.

"Yes."

Luo Qingzhi said, "What else do you know?"

Xia Ji said, "There are people in the shadows who are watching you and disturbing all this."

"Is there anyone suspicious?" Luo Qingzhi asked.

「……」

Xia Ji was silent, and Luo Qingzhi asked again, "Is it someone next to me?"

"I can only say that the root cause of all this change is in Gao Zhen, but the people who are in the next game started the palace change in that year..."

Luo Qingzhi said, "After the palace change that year, the people who still have the strength and opportunity to do these things are nothing more than two people, one Jin Zhuo and one Shu Yuan."

"But one is missing, and the other is dead in front of me."

Xia Ji said, "Both of their forces have been handed over to Jin Ziji, but you yourself have already gotten along with him

Do you think Jin Ziji is the one who can shake all this?"

「……」

"What did you say when you met Gao Zhen?" Luo Qingzhi asked.

Xia Ji said, "He wants to know what happened to you in the past two years."

"Did you tell you?" Luo Qingzhi asked.

"Only what he wanted to know." Xia Ji replied.

Luo Qingzhi looked at Xia Ji's question and answer, and smiled, "It seems that you don't want to tell me the answer."

Xia Ji shook his head, "It's not that I don't want to tell, but I don't know where to start."

Luo Qingzhi said firmly, "I want to know all this."

The lake was windy and the waves were blowing, and the boats began to shake.

Luo Qingzhi held on to the hull of the boat and stared at Xia Ji, "Say."

Another wave crashed, and the angle of the boat's tilt became more and more obvious.

Suddenly, a sword pierced through the ground, breaking several large holes in the ship's hull.

The two of them leaned back, one at one end and one at the tail, each occupying a corner.

Luo Qingzhi jumped up, saw Xia Ji Shen Shen, and wanted to rescue, but the men in black came from all sides to block her steps.

The water surface is different from the land, there is no support, even Luo Qingzhi is difficult to move.

Xia Ji didn't know martial arts at all, his hands were propped up on the broken wooden board, and he looked up at Luo Qingzhi.

Fortunately, the target of the man in black was Luo Qingzhi, and no one was going to attack Xia Ji, so he could lean on the plank safely.

Luo Qingzhi was not good in the water, so she had to slowly lead people to the shore.

But as soon as she left the water, the man in black began to attack Xia Ji, and in order to protect him, Luo Qingzhi could only return to the water.

After coming and going, Luo Qingzhi was already obviously tired, and Xia Ji shouted loudly, "Let's go, take care of my aunt."

When he had finished speaking, he plunged headlong into the water.

Luo Qingzhi also jumped into the water.

She swam to Xia Ji and took his hand, but was shot in the shoulder by a sharp arrow.

Xia Ji took out the white jade pendant from his arms, stuffed it into her hand, let go of her hand, and pushed her away.

More and more arrows were shot into the water, and Luo Qingzhi also felt that she was not breathing, so she had to swim into the distance.

Back on the shore, Luo Qingzhi surfaced, looked at the calm lake, and the man in black who chased after him, only hesitated for a while, and then ran towards the city.

What's worse is that Luo Qingzhi ran a few steps and felt that the picture in front of her became distorted, she touched the wound on her shoulder, and suddenly understood that the arrow was smeared with poison.

She bit her lip and insisted on coming to the door of Yong'an Hall.

When the people of Yong'an Hall saw Luo Qingzhi, they wanted to salute, but Luo Qingzhi raised his hand to stop him, and before he could speak, he fainted.

At this point, she fell into a black dream.

She stood in place, completely unable to move, watching Gao Yan kill Luo Huaiyi, and watching Gao Zhen kill Gao Yan, no matter who it was, she couldn't stop the killer or save the killed.

She cried and screamed, and no one noticed her presence.

"Qingqing, Qingqing!"

Luo Qingzhi listened to the shouts in her ears and opened her eyes suddenly.

The shopkeeper Xiao of Yong'an Hall was Luo Huaiyi's military doctor, and he was also an elder who watched Luo Qingzhi grow up.

"Uncle Xiao." Luo Qingzhi called softly.

Xiao Bing nodded, looking distressed, "Who has such a heavy hand, if I didn't happen to be here today, you would be gone."

「......」

For a while, Luo Qingzhi didn't know how to explain, and Xiao Bing didn't mean to ask, so Luo Qingzhi kept silent.

Xiao Bing sighed, "Qingqing, you have been a child with ideas since you were a child, and I am also relieved of you, but you are a girl after all."

Luo Qingzhi nodded, "Uncle Xiao, I know, I'll explain these things to you later, now, can you help me go to Zehu Lake to find someone?"

Xiao Bing nodded, "Although Zehu Lake is not deep, you, don't expect too much."

「......」

Luo Qingzhi sighed, "At least I can't do nothing."

Xiao Bing said, "You have a good rest for a while, and I'll go and command."

"That's right," Xiao Bing said, "You just called Gao Zhen's name, who is Gao Zhen?" I've never heard you say that."

「......」

Luo Qingzhi lowered her head, and Xiao Bing said, "In the past few years, you seem to have experienced a lot."

Xiao Bing shook his head and left the room.

Luo Qingzhi couldn't help sighing, and remembered the dream just now, those bloody scenes were vivid, and those helpless emotions were still there, she thought silently, Xia Ji couldn't die.

Thinking of this, she rolled over and got out of bed and walked out of the room.

Xiao Bing shouted loudly, "What are you doing when you come out? Go back and lie down."

Luo Qingzhi acted as if she hadn't heard it, almost as if she was running, walked out of Yong'an Hall, and rode on a fast horse.

Xiao Bing led people and followed behind.

Back to Zehu, the lake was unusually calm, and Xiao Bing's people had just arrived.

"This is it, isn't it?"

Luo Qingzhi thought that Xiao Bing would blame, but he didn't expect that he just asked.

"Someone, go into the water and find someone." Xiao Bing commanded.

Then, he turned his head to look at Luo Qingzhi, "Don't stand here, it's the tuyere, go behind the tree over there."

Luo Qingzhi obediently moved over.

Jiangzhou is near the water, almost everyone knows how to water, several people went into the water one after another, round after round of relay, two hours later, there is finally news.

"Here."

Luo Qingzhi raised her eyes and watched as two strong men lifted Xia Ji out on the left and on the right.

Xiao Bing stepped forward to check, and at this time, Xia Ji's face was pale, and his lips were bloodless.

"I'm afraid it won't work, master."

Someone on the side said.

Xiao Bing didn't answer, still concentrating on checking the situation of Xia Ji.

"Come two men and hold him." Xiao Bing commanded.

Xia Ji was set up, Xiao Bing came to his back, stretched out his hands to wrap around him, and pressed up, several times in a row, Xia Ji spit out some water. But people are still not sober.

"Carry him and go back." Xiao Bing commanded.

Luo Qingzhi followed behind, and Xiao Bing said, "I can only try."

"Uncle Xiao just do his best, and the rest depends on his creation." Luo Qingzhi said

Back at Yong'an Hall, Xiao Bing and the others did their best to save Xia Ji, and Luo Qingzhi waited outside the door, watching the doctor busy.

Two hours, when it was dark, Xiao Bing walked out, "It's up to tonight."

Luo Qingzhi nodded, "Fortunately, Uncle Xiao."

Xiao Bing wiped his hands and asked casually, "Is he Gao Zhen?"

"It's not." Luo Qingzhi thought that Xiao Bing had misunderstood, and explained, "There are some things I don't know that need his answer, so he can't die yet."
