Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Old Past
After He Ying examined the corpses, they died in the same way as Lord Shangshu and Tobe Shiro, killing them with a single sword.
Now that the mute Liu has been found, and the murder weapon has also been found, as long as you can know who the monster is, everything will be revealed.
He Ying walked to the inner hall and said to the master, "Master, can I ask you two questions?" ”
Taishi came back to his senses and nodded.
"What is your relationship with Lord Shangshu and Tobe Shiro?"
"Not to mention the New Year's Friend, but it's not bad, we often toast to the moon together, and do our best for this Great Wei."
"Well, dare to ask the Grand Master, do you know that Lord Shangshu and the Household Squire want to abdicate?"
Taishi's face changed slightly, and he bowed his head and said: "Naturally, I know that they are old and powerless, and returning to their hometown is the best destination." ”
"What about the Taishi?"
"Presumptuous!" The butler beside the master stepped forward, "Do you know who you're talking to?!" The little brocade guard is so open-mouthed! ”
He Ying glanced at him lightly.
Taishi waved his hand: "It's okay, I do have the heart to retreat, but the saint has just succeeded to the throne, and there are many aspects that the old minister still needs to worry about, and I will retire when the saint can completely handle the affairs of the court." ”
He Ying nodded, sure enough, this saint wants to monopolize power.
He Ying thought for a while and said, "Dare to ask Taishi, who have you offended recently, and what have you said wrong?" ”
Taishi thought about it and shook his head.
He Ying thought for a while and said, "Can the Taishi let the idle people and others retreat." ”
Everyone was stunned, and they didn't know what medicine was sold in He Ying's gourd.
Taishi was a little hesitant, he almost died just now, but now that there are many people, he is more relieved, and you still let them go?
But seeing He Ying add: "There are some things I can only tell the Taishi, and I can only hear the Taishi alone, this is related to whether the Taishi can live a stable life in the future, I don't think the Taishi wants to worry about it every day." ”
Taishi's face was not very good-looking, and after thinking about it, he asked all the people around him to go down, and only He Ying and Si Shengxiang were left in the inner hall.
He Ying took two steps forward, pulled the distance, and said, "Don't hide it from the master, I chased the murderer just now and found that it was a demon." ”
"What?!"
Taishi's eyes widened suddenly: "How is it possible?!" Is there a demon in the capital? This is absolutely impossible, the Holy Lord has already negotiated with the Northern Wilderness Demon Clan, and they will not invade each other for thirty years. ”
Subsequently, He Ying said what he thought in his heart.
After hearing this, the whole person was like losing his soul.
"Dumb Liu died, and the demon took Dumb Liu's sword to kill Shangshu and Hubu Shilang, creating the illusion that it was Dumb Liu who killed, so that no one would suspect that it was the demon clan, if I was a demon clan, this would not only cover people's eyes and ears, but also gradually disintegrate the power of the imperial court, killing two birds with one stone."
The Heavenly Master's face became more and more ugly.
"Taishi, now there is a question, that is, why did the demon clan kill Lord Shangshu and the Hubu Shilang first, if you really want to start, you can actually do it directly...... Coming to you, after all, the Taishi is in a high-ranking position, and his power is monstrous, if you die, it will have a greater impact than Lord Shangshu and the Hubu Shilang. ”
Taishi glared at He Ying angrily.
No one dares to talk to themselves like that!
He Ying didn't give him a chance to speak: "The words are a little ugly, but that's the case, Taishi, you need to recall what you have said to Lord Shangshu and Tobe Shilang recently, or you have reached a certain consensus above the court, or you have other things in common." ”
When the Heavenly Master heard this, his face softened slightly, and he began to recall the previous things.
After about four or five minutes, he suddenly raised his head and said, "When you mention this, I remember that half a year ago, when the crown prince set out on an expedition, we mentioned to the first emperor that we would kill the princess of the demon clan first, and then force the demon clan to submit...... Could it be because of that incident that made the demon clan hold a grudge? ”
He Ying's eyes lit up: "Master, please elaborate." ”
Taishi's white eyebrows tightened, he stood up, looked at the full moon outside the courtyard, and the previous picture gradually came to mind: "Half a year ago, the prince went on an expedition to the Northern Wilderness to destroy the demons, and at that time, the demon emperor's cultivation was extremely high, and it was not as easy as moving his lips to kill him. ”
"The spy reported that the demon emperor had a daughter, and he loved her in every way, so I and the young master, Shangshu, the household servant, the criminal department and other ministers advised, first sent someone to kill his daughter, and then forced the demon emperor to obey this strategy, my Great Wei 200,000 army is also composed of flesh-and-blood ambitious young people, not to mention that once the war starts, the treasury will inevitably lose, if this plan is used, not only can the treasury be maximized, but also reduce the casualties of soldiers, isn't it the best of both worlds?"
He Ying didn't speak, and continued to listen.
"It's just that the prince was young and vigorous at the beginning, and he didn't want to do such a scheme, he just wanted to win the demon emperor head-on on the battlefield, so that everyone in the world would know about it, and the whole demon clan would be convinced...... I just didn't expect it, hey...... The prince is talented and has good martial arts, thinking that he can win, but he ...... Ay...... After all, it was the three cities that were exchanged for the peace of the world. ”
Taishi recalled that he sighed three times in a row, and then affirmed: "It must be some strategy used by the demon clan on the battlefield, otherwise in a head-on battle, my Great Wei will definitely defeat its demon clan." ”
He Ying and Si Shengxiang glanced at each other.
That's right!
Why did the monster kill the Hubu Shilang after killing Shangshu, and then the Taishi...... These are the people who admonished that day, and they have come to take revenge.
At that time, there were probably spies of the demon clan in the court.
When the two armies were fighting, the demon clan did not act, and now the new emperor has succeeded to the throne, just using the new emperor's monopoly to eradicate these ministers.
It is said that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and this is also applicable to the demon clan.
After He Ying asked, he took Si Shengxiang out of the inner hall.
In the courtyard, the Jinyi guards who rushed over were wrapping the corpses, and the Taishi Mansion had strengthened its vigilance force three times, and it could be said that in addition to the Imperial Palace, this place was the strictest.
Walking to the moat and looking at the sparkling water surface refracted by the lights of thousands of homes, He Ying thought for a while and said: "What can be determined now is that the demon wants to use the sword of the new emperor to kill the minister who originally admonished, then the question is, how does the demon clan accurately know the dynamics of the new emperor's every step?" ”
Si Shengxiang analyzed: "There is only one possibility, this person must be the closest person to the new emperor, if the new emperor wants to eradicate the old minister, he will never make a big fuss, he will definitely send someone to do it secretly, and it is even very likely that the person he is looking for is a demon." ”
He Ying nodded and looked in the direction of the imperial city: "Since he is the closest person, he must be in the palace, and he is a red person next to the new emperor, and he is a demon clan, I am afraid that there is only that demon emperor...... Looks like we're going to have to go for it now. ”
Si Shengxiang looked at him: "People are demon emperors, can you fight?" ”
He Ying smiled.
Beat...... That's definitely not going to be beatable.
But so what?
What is the fear of those who are about to die?
Besides, he has already met the murderer tonight, and the murderer has put down his cruel words, and if he wants to withdraw at this time, the murderer will not let him go.
Si Shengxiang said: "It's okay, this is a challenge dungeon, if you can't win, you can go out, and you will lose 50 points at most." ”
He Ying did not answer, but straightened up and looked at the city wall with a knife.
After a long time, he turned his head to look at Si Shengxiang: "Go out now...... Are you willing? ”
Si Shengxiang was silent.
Get out now...... Naturally, it is unwilling.
The two of them didn't say anything, they stood with their knives in their hands, and looked at the imperial city in the distance.
