Chapter 6: The Kingdom Is a Powerful Weapon, Beware of Fear
A dossier one foot long and three inches thick.
Dense and detailed, everything that may be related to Sun Qi's death is recorded.
Lu Xing held the table, and there was a cup of hot ginger tea on the side of his right hand, and the paper that Lu Xing had seen would be carefully put away by Xiao Yu and restacked into a stack.
Liu Danyang watched silently, as a saucer, he is good at collecting and sorting out information, and he must also remember to keep his mouth shut and not affect the judgment of decision-makers.
On the table a little farther away, Chu Chu was drinking wine and eating beef at the same time, not caring about Lu Xing's movements.
Great Zhou Dynasty, Fenghe 19th year August Gan 8, autumn equinox.
Thirty miles north of Jiacheng, in the wilderness forest, Sun Qi was pierced through the heart by a sword and died, the blade of the sword was simple, and the bleeding was small.
There were a total of thirty-two people accompanying him, ten from the Vajra Realm, two from the Mountain Realm, and one disciple of Confucianism. After the accident, there was only one disciple of Confucianism, whose name was Sun Wu, who was single-handedly promoted by Sun Qi and had cultivated to the realm of a gentleman.
Sun Wu carried Sun Qi's corpse and ran all the way for seventy miles, running to the territory of the Northland. When he was discovered, Sun Wu was delirious and insane, and he repeatedly recited the word "Lu" in his mouth.
Lu Xing's pupils shrank, and he looked up at the other two people in the room suddenly, Liu Danyang stood respectfully on the side of the table, while Chu Chu drank the wine by himself, not caring about Lu Xing's gaze at all.
"Aunt Liu, all the information on this file is collected by you?" Lu Xing's gaze was a little cold.
Liu Danyang replied: "Yu Gongzi, the dark line of Zhao Nanxuan has been silent all the year round, and he will not blatantly collect information, and half of the contents of this file were handed over to me by Master Fu. ”
Hearing that the dossier passed through Fu Mu's hand first, Lu Xing's gaze softened a little, and he took a sip of ginger tea, but he almost choked.
"Childe, be careful." Xiao Yu wiped the water stains in front of the table with a handkerchief and said softly.
Lu Xing was a little panicked in his heart, and when the dossier saw this, an answer that he didn't dare to imagine appeared.
At this moment, he finally understood why Fu Mu asked Chu Chu to come, and why Chu Chu said before, "If it's related, then it depends on how Gongzi responds."
The seventh floor of the martial arts - the peak of the mountain! And Takeo is used to kill!
The reason for Sun Qi's death, the whole thing is only known to the elder and a series of saucers, the so-called truth is not important at all, as long as the people who know about it are dead, Lu Xing can get rid of suspicion.
And the first person to know these news should be Jia Chengdi, who is closest to the place of the crime, and the first batch of people to die.
After the elder learned that Lu Xing had made the decision to kill people, he would kill all the people in the north who knew about it, and the old city lord's old troops in the army and the generals close to Sun Qi would be killed or imprisoned. The black rider did not come to Longhu Mountain, but the butcher's knife will also be stained with blood.
If any forces try to resist, Lu Shuang, who has not yet come forward, will become the last hurricane to smooth the rough waves.
One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, and under the throne, there will be many bones.
Lu Xing hesitated, hiding his trembling right hand under his sleeve. At that time, he just didn't want to be a butcher, so he fled to Longhu Mountain.
And as soon as Sun Qi died, all the actions of Xuejin City so far were chilling.
Even, even...... Lu Xing didn't dare to think about it, and the warm ginger tea on the table became the only consolation in Lu Xing's heart at this moment.
But with a shake of his right hand, ginger tea spilled all over.
"Childe, Childe is not well?" Xiao Yu was so anxious that she wiped the water stains on Lu Xing's body with her sleeve, and then pushed the rolling paper on the table far away, for fear that Lu Xing would worry about it again.
Liu Danyang saw it in his eyes, but he didn't dare to step forward, so he could only do some duty and close all the bamboo windows that opened out of the house.
Chu Chu hurriedly walked over, and before leaving, the elder gave him two choices, but he told him thousands of times, "We must ensure the safety of Lu Xing, otherwise the peace in the north for twenty years will no longer exist." ”
After taking the pulse for Lu Xing, Chu Chu breathed a sigh of relief, his five organs were empty, he was slightly infected with wind and cold, and he had no worries about life.
"Xiao Yu, you help Shizi go back to the room to rest. I'm going to make a medicinal soup and I'll bring it later. ”
"Wait a minute," Lu Xing's voice interrupted everyone's movements.
"Third uncle, Xuejin City will not treat meritorious people badly, nor will it cause unjustified disasters." Lu Xing seemed to have exhausted his last strength, and he lost consciousness after a whirlwind.
Chu Chu didn't say anything, raised his eyebrows and motioned for the two to do their own thing.
Liu Danyang didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly led Xiao Yu to an upper room, and then went to open the medicinal material warehouse for Chu Chu.
In the dimly lit hut, the creak of herbs being smoked could be heard.
"Liu Danyang, how many years have you been making saucers?" Chu Chu squinted, choked by the smell of herbs.
Liu Danyang was mashing medicinal herbs, and when he heard Chu Chu's question, he hurriedly stopped what he was doing.
"My lord, my subordinates grew up in a bookstore, received all kinds of training since childhood, and went out to be a saucer after the age of sixteen, and it has been eighteen years now."
"It's good," Chu Chu's voice was a little low, and he listened hoarsely: "In the future, you will follow the prince, and you don't have to be a saucer." ”
Liu Danyang was stunned, it stands to reason that this kind of news should be heavenly, but for a while she didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
"The line of Najia City ......" Liu Danyang's words stopped immediately, her flickering eyes were full of panic, she was no longer a saucer, and now she was not qualified to ask everything about the dark line, even what she remembered before, she had to forget it as soon as possible, this is the best protection for her companions who get along day and night.
Chu Chu saw Liu Danyang's embarrassment in his eyes, and said with relief: "Don't panic, you will be regarded as the maid of the prince in the future." As for the dark line...... Seojin City does not treat meritorious people badly, this is the original words of the prince. ”
"Thank you, Lord Chu." Liu Danyang bowed respectfully and willingly.
"Don't thank me, it's the son of the world who is kind ......"
……
In an upper room, the bamboo window is ajar, and a ambergris lamp is lit in front of the desk.
Xiao Yu stayed in front of the couch, with his head in his left hand. After Liu Danyang brought a bowl of medicinal soup, she left, and she wasted a lot of effort to let the prince drink the medicine safely.
Lu Xing woke up and fell asleep, only the four corners of the bed curtain in his eyes, and the mahogany on the top was carved into the "Flying Dragon Rank Bead".
The moon is over, the sky is not early, and there has been no reason for maids to stay overnight since ancient times.
Xiao Yu tidied up the bedding for Lu Xing for the last time, and planned to retreat.
was about to turn around and leave, but his right arm was firmly grabbed, Xiao Yu was slightly stunned, only to feel that Childe's hand was so cold.
"Tonight, don't go......" The voice was broken, but it made countless ripples in Xiao Yu's heart lake.
"Childe, what did Childe say-" Xiao Yu turned around and patiently broke Lu Xing's hand that was holding her right arm: "I'm just a maid, I can't go beyond the rules." ”
"Xiao Yu, are you also from the elder pavilion?" Lu Xing's voice was faint.
Son...... Xiao Yu's eyes were filled with sorrow, he pursed his lips and said nothing, and the movements in his hands stopped.
No wonder the third uncle wants to take you, he...... Lu Xing used his only strength to drag Xiao Yu into his arms, looked at those watery eyes, and said, "Tonight, you are the son of this son." ”
"Childe, what nonsense......
Xiao Yu's eyes dodged, only to feel that his heart was beating fast, and the body odor of Childe rushed into his nose, and the crimson instantly surged onto his cheeks.
Lu Xing smiled slightly, as if he was saying something extremely interesting: "Strip for me, and strip for yourself." ”
Xiao Yu was stunned, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence.
"Okay, let's put down the bed curtains." The word "bed curtain" is whispered louder than sesame mung beans.
"Depending on you—"
The red curtain fell, and the firelight reflected two black shadows up and down in the bed curtain.
"Do you still remember the Emperor's Inner Scripture that you and I read together in Longhu Mountain?"
"Childe is fake and serious, that's clearly ......"
"Would you like to give it a try?"
"Uh-huh......"
……
Next.
There were all kinds of pastries on the table, Lu Xing got up early in the morning, and he was also swallowing dates when he started eating, and he felt very energetic.
"Xiaoyu, get up and eat. Don't you want this son to feed you? ”
Xiao Yu buried her face in the futon, her eyes were red from crying, and there was a wet stain on the pillow.
"It's all to blame on the son, the cultivation of the Divine Cultivation Realm that I finally cultivated, and now I say that it is gone......" Xiao Yu felt the shriveled aura in the dantian, and only felt grief-stricken and wanted to cry without tears.
"Okay, it's the fault of this son, you shouldn't try the Yellow Emperor's internal scripture."
"If you still don't understand your anger, then if you think about it, my cultivation is gone, and the two of us can be regarded as bitter mandarin ducks."
Lu Xing put a plate of dim sum on the head of the bed and wiped the tears from Xiao Yu's face with his hand.
"How can it be the same - Childe is not pretentious by himself, I was robbed by Childe."
Xiao Yu hid her face in the futon, her face flushed with shame, and Lu Xing's bitter mandarin duck made her so happy to hear it.
The sunlight shone in through the bamboo window, and there was a shadow on the door, Lu Xing's heart moved, and he went out to check.
Liu Danyang waited quietly all morning, and when he heard the movement in the house, he didn't dare to disturb him.
Seeing Lu Xing coming out at this moment, she hurriedly saluted: "Childe, Lord Chu has been waiting for a long time." ”
"Aunt Liu......" Lu Xing was a little surprised, Liu Danyang's dress today was very green, the light blue cloth rolled up the upper body, the outer shirt was blue, the cloth was opaque, but it still couldn't hide the turbulent waves, and the exquisite and qualitative figure was unobstructed.
"Childe, please." Liu Danyang hid half of her cheek shyly, she was not a young girl, and it was really difficult to cut her teeth when she said this kind of thing.
The decoration of Zhao Nanxuan is quite extravagant, there are gold leaf paintings along the ladder wooden railing, and the lanterns on the hall are decorated with jade.
The two came to a study room, the wooden door was black, quite heavy, and the sound insulation was excellent.
Lu walked into the house, while Liu Danyang stayed outside the door.
"Shizi, how are you resting?" Chu Chu seemed to be smiling, and the movement of the clouds and rain yesterday really could not escape the ears of his martial artist at the top of the mountain.
The corners of Lu Xing's mouth twitched slightly, and he coughed lightly: "The third uncle is looking for me, not for this matter." ”
"And the third uncle and I have some important things to say."
"I have read history books, during the Warring States Period, the battle of Qin and Zhao Changping, King Qin Zhaoxiang forced Bai Qi to slaughter 400,000 soldiers of Zhao. Bai Qi received his life for the country, and was willing to bear the name of a butcher. ”
"However, Bai Qi has not led the army since then, his wife has left him, the monarch has turned his back on him, and the way of heaven will not allow his soul."
The words fell silent, Chu Chu lowered his head, of course he knew what Lu Xing said.
"Shizi, have you really decided?"
"If the Northland is in civil strife and lives are ruined because of this, what will the son of the world understand?"
Lu Xing closed his eyes, he knew that this matter was a blessing or a curse.
The slaughter of opposition forces can be done once and for all. But this matter is against the principles of heaven, and Great Qin also died in a brutal policy, not to mention the northern land?
"If I can find out the truth, I can also calm the anger of Sun Qi's faction."
Find out the truth...... Chu Chu shook his head secretly: "It's not easy to talk about, it's been a month since the incident, and the elders have also been investigating it for a month." Don't forget that there were seven elders who supported Sun Qi back then, but today they are all on the side of the prince, which shows his helplessness. ”
"Third uncle, Sun Qi died on the way to invite me to participate in the crown ceremony, and I should give Sun Qi justice."
"It is not a saint's gift to a soldier to his compatriots, knowingly committing a crime."
"If Seokjin City also does turbid things, how is it different from the countries of the world? Such a northland, contrary to the original intention, the ancestors wept. ”
The ancestors wept! Chu Chu's heart tightened, Lu Xing quoted scriptures and said a lot, but it was not as good as the last four words that touched him: "I promised the prince, I will prevaricate for the prince over there, and the prince will let it go." ”
Governor Lu took a breath, whether he could say that he could move Chu Chu was uncertain.
Chu Chu put down the wine glass in his hand and explained: "Even if the prince of the world says that the sky is falling, it can't talk about a few elders. But the prince has a good saying, Xuejin City is blessed by the saints, and has never had the heart to compete for the world, only the word 'protection'. ”
"Now that the saint has passed away, the responsibility of Xuejin City is to protect the world for him."
"The prince of the world should not feel that the elder is cold-blooded, and those who are in the country often can't help themselves." Chu Chu's words were said for the elders, and he didn't want Lu Xing and the elders to have a bad idea because of this.
Just as the two were relieved and talking, the wooden door of the room was slammed.
Liu Danyang's face was eager, and he walked quickly into the door, still holding a letter in his hand.
"Childe, Lord Chu, do your subordinates have an urgent report?" Without even waiting for the two to respond, Liu Danyang said the content of the letter.
"Chu Xiuming, the sage of Yingtian Academy, arrived in Jiacheng this morning, with exception, there are traces of red-armored cavalry in the north of the city, and it is suspected that the little prince Qi Mu."
Hearing this, Lu Xing and Chu Chu frowned at the same time.
"Chu Xiuming, it is said that Wenqu Xing descended to earth and acted in the style of ancient Confucianism."
"Qi Mu is the eldest son of King Ran, and he does things by unscrupulous means."
can bring together such a wrong two, what happened to Jia Cheng?
