Chapter 123: The Masters Behind the Scenes
Emperor Xia's bedroom, Zhao Jiyuan knelt on the ground, Emperor Xia's eyes swept over Chu Ze, and said: "Although Zhao Jizhe led you to Zhao Jiyuan's mansion, but in the final analysis, he didn't know about it, and he was also a victim, so he won't pursue it, right?" ”
Chu Ze nodded and said, "But it's up to Your Majesty to decide!" ”
In Chu Ze's view, it doesn't matter whether Zhao Jizhe is investigated or not.
When Emperor Xia asked, he didn't really want to pursue it, he just wanted Chu Ze to say it himself.
Chu Ze is still very good.
Emperor Xia nodded and said, "Then that's it, you guys go down first." ”
"Yes!"
Chu Ze and Zhao Jizhe responded, and the two of them exited the main hall together, and out of the main hall, the two walked outside the palace!
Chu Ze found that Zhao Jizhe's pace was very brisk, and he seemed to be in a good mood!
Thinking about it, it should be considered good that things didn't involve him.
Chu Ze didn't have the desire to talk to him, so the two of them were silent and came all the way to the outside of the palace!
"Brother Chu, I'm leaving!" Outside the palace, Zhao Jizhe saluted Chu Ze.
Chu Ze arched his hand and smiled: "His Royal Highness Ji Zhe go slowly!" ”
To Chu Ze's surprise, Zhao Jizhe, who had always given him a sleek feeling, was very neat this time, turned around simply, waved at himself, and walked away!
There is a feeling of freedom and ease.
Chu Ze frowned, he was used to Zhao Jizhe's respectfulness, and when he suddenly saw him like this, he was a little unaccustomed!
But I don't know what's wrong!
Chu Ze Kuama leaves!
returned to the Duke's Mansion and reported the matter to Chen Jinsong, and when Chen Jinsong learned that Zhao Jiyuan was the mastermind behind it, he was also extremely surprised!
"The children of the royal family, the pressure of competition is extremely high, and they are fighting with each other endlessly! This Zhao Jiyuan cultivates magic skills in order to improve the root bones, which is also the norm. He's not the first of the royal family to do this, and he won't be the last of the royal family to do so, but he shouldn't have done it to you! Chen Jinsong sighed: "If he doesn't attack you, it may not be a capital crime!" But if he attacks the noble son, then he must die! Otherwise, the powerful in Beijing, don't fry the pot? ”
Speaking of this, Chen Jinsong looked at Chu Ze: "Thanks to Cao Da for arriving in time today, otherwise you may be in danger!" ”
Forehead...
In fact, of course Chu Ze doesn't think so, even if Cao can't reach it, he will use the mantra to fight back!
But at least on the surface, that's it!
"It's really timely, he just happened to run a eucalyptus nearby, which Zhao Jiyuan didn't expect! Otherwise, it may not be possible to let the one-eyed woman do it directly! ”
Chu Ze said.
"Alright, let's get some rest early!"
Chen Jinsong left, and Chu Ze also returned to his room.
While cultivating, Chu Ze began to recall everything today.
It's just that the more he recalls, the more Chu Ze feels confused!
Although there is nothing wrong with Chu Ze from beginning to end, he just feels a little anticlimactic, Zhao Jiyuan and the fat tiger have been doing many eucalyptus games in Kyoto in a row, their hands and feet are clean and neat, and they have never left clues.
But today, it was directly smashed on the spot!
But he didn't notice anything wrong.
While thinking, while cultivating.
It's getting bright!
"Uncle, there's a letter for you at the door!"
Menzi sent in an envelope, Chu Ze picked up the envelope, and it read: "Chu Ze personally opened!" ”
Signed, Zhao Jizhe!
Zhao Jizhe wrote a letter to himself?
Chu Ze had a strange feeling in his heart, and he stretched out his hand to open the letter!
Seeing the first sentence above made Chu Ze's eyes widen!
"Brother Chu saw the letter like a meeting, no accident, when you saw the letter, I was already thousands of miles away in Kyoto!"
Zhao Jizhe is gone? Why?
Chu Ze continued to look down!
"Actually, the reason why I wrote this letter to Brother Chu is only because Brother Chu has never despised me! Although I can feel that Brother Chu doesn't like me very much, he doesn't look down on me at all! For this, Ji Zhe is very grateful. Therefore, I wrote a letter to Brother Chu, on the one hand, to ask Brother Chu for something, and on the other hand, to remind Brother Chu! At the same time, it is also to inform Brother Chu of some secret things. ”
Seeing this, Chu Ze sighed a little, indeed, although he didn't like Zhao Jizhe, he didn't look down on and despise him, and he could also understand that Zhao Jizhe's smoothness was caused by the environment.
It's just that I don't know what Zhao Jizhe asks of himself, and what he wants to wake up!
What is the secret?
"Zhao Jiyuan's exercises were given to him by me! Of course, some means were used in the middle, so he just thought that he came by chance! ”
This sentence was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and a thunderclap exploded in Chu Ze's ears!
Zhao Jiyuan's magic skills turned out to be given by Zhao Jizhe?!!
In other words, Zhao Jizhe already knew that Zhao Jiyuan was secretly carrying out blood sacrifices!
It may even be said that everything is under Zhao Jizhe's control?
Chu Ze only felt that his back was cold! Look down!
"Maybe Brother Chu is curious why I did this, without him, it's just hatred! I hate Zhao Jiyuan! It's not just him, I hate the children of the Great Xia royal family, it's just Zhao Jiyuan, he did things that I can't forgive and forget for the rest of my life, so I must kill him before I can leave Kyoto.
Because it was him, Mi Qing's face was scratched! His mother is the daughter of the Marquis of Jingxiang, so whether it is my useless mother or the people of the Mi family, they all tell us to endure it! But you know what? When I was pressed to the ground by him and watched him cut the scars on Mi Qing's face with a knife, I had already made up my mind! At all costs! I want him dead! ”
Looking at this letter, Chu Ze could feel Zhao Jizhe's resentment and Zhao Jizhe's helplessness between the lines!
A child, being pushed to the ground and watching others scratch their cherished people with knives, how much damage will that helplessness, that resentment, cause in his heart?
"So from now on, I'm never going to confront them again, I'm never going to make them unhappy again! Because I don't want to see anyone again, hurt Mi Qing...."
"Sister Qing and I are not very talented! However, as Qing Mei took over the family's business, she got a point of demonic exercises! Although it is very inhumane, it uses blood sacrifices to elevate its own root bones! But for me and Mi Qing, we can't refuse! Because we need great power! Qingmei and I never want that scene to happen again!
Of course, our methods of getting people are much more careful than Zhao Jiyuan! They were all looking for children from other places to get into Kyoto, so no one ever found out! ”
"I deliberately gave Zhao Jiyuan the magic skills, I just know that he is a bold man who dares to do anything! With magic skills, he will definitely cultivate! And I just need to push it at the right time, and he will be exposed! For example, yesterday, all it takes is an innocuous human life, and Cao Da will appear in the right place at the right time! ”
Seeing this, Chu Ze finally understood!
It turns out that the real controller of everything is Zhao Jizhe!
No wonder Chu Ze had seen his root bone ascend before, and at first Chu Ze suspected that he was a blood sacrificer.
It's just that after the follow-up child disappeared, it didn't improve!
Now it seems that he just said that he did not have a continuous blood sacrifice!
Everything is under his manipulation, and all his external deference and tactfulness are also just deliberately displayed by him!
In this guy's heart, there is a demon!
From between the lines, Chu Ze can see that Zhao Jizhe is indifferent and doesn't care about human life!
It's just that Chu Ze is not sure that if he goes through the same experience as him, will the means be less inhumane than him!
"However, I know very well that just killing a few young children of the common people, plus his bones have been raised to a very strong point! My ruthless imperial grandfather may not let him die! Therefore, it is best for him to be exposed after he has done something to Xungui's children! There are only two people known in Kyoto, Xiao Hongmian and you, and he will most likely choose you, so I deliberately approached Brother Chu to lead him to pull me into the game to better control everything, and now that the matter is exposed, there is only one end for him, and that is death! It's finally complete!
Of course, if Brother Chu is unlucky, you may have been successful in his blood sacrifice, but it is obvious that Brother Chu is very lucky! But you still have to thank me, don't you? If it weren't for me, Cao Da wouldn't have arrived, and Zhao Jiyuan would have succeeded in sacrificing your blood! So please do me a favor Brother Chu! is to inform Zhao Jiyuan of this matter! ”
Seeing this, Chu Ze sneered, there is no Cao Da! It will definitely not be you who will die!
This may be where Zhao Jizhe miscalculated.
He continued to read, only to see Zhao Jizhe continue to write: "I hope this guy will finish the last part of his life in regret and resentment towards me, I think Brother Chu should also want to see this guy's crazy and painful expression, right?" ”
"Then it's why I'm leaving! The exercises given to Zhao Jizhe are only part of the magic skills! For me and Qingmei, a lot of blood sacrifices are needed next! Lots of lives! In Kyoto, it's too dangerous! So we're going to leave Great Xia! After all, I'm also a Xia person! He is also a member of the Great Xia royal family! Since you are leaving, let us go farther, and go to the scourge and don't let the people go. ”
"Finally, I would like to remind Brother Chu that among the children of the Great Xia royal family, there are countless scheming people! Zhao Jiyuan and his ilk are not worth mentioning! The water of the Great Xia royal family is far deeper than you think! In addition to the external strife of each family, there is also the internal struggle of each family, all of which are intricate! No matter who Brother Chu faces in the future, he must be vigilant, and don't take risks lightly! Moreover, you must be careful of the sixth son of the fourth uncle, Zhao Yi! That guy is definitely going to do something to you! Be sure to guard against him! ”
After reading this letter, Chu Ze frowned!
The sixth son of the four princes, Zhao Yi?
Why do you want to do it to yourself?
This Zhao Jizhe ran away, and he left such a sentence for himself without a head or brain, what is the reason?
Could it be that Zhao Jizhe also gave the Demon Dao Exercises to that guy?
But anyway, looking at the letter in his hand, there were many things that he couldn't figure out, and Chu Ze figured it out!
Obviously, the reason why Cao Da came so timely was because the people who ordered the edict and reported to the official were probably arranged by Zhao Jizhe.
And Zhao Jizhe ran away with that Mi Qing!
I was going to leave Great Xia, so I wrote such a letter to myself!
"Damn bastard, it looks like I'm underestimating you! Look away! Chu Ze gritted his teeth and said angrily.
I have to say that Zhao Jizhe's letter gave Chu Ze a wake-up call!
These royal children, one by one, are by no means good at stubble!
Thousands of miles away from the imperial capital of Great Xia, Zhao Jizhe and Mi Qing both rode handsome horses under their crotches!
At this time, it is on the edge of a water source.
The two of them ran all night and ran thousands of miles away!
smashed the ice at the water's edge and washed their faces, Zhao Jizhe and Mi Qing drank some cold water again.
Only then did I go back to the shore and sit down and rest!
I took out the dry food and ate it!
At this time, Mi Qing took off her veil, and her face had several centipede-like, hideous and terrifying scars!
"Why did you leave that letter for Chu Ze?" Mi Qing was a little curious: "Zhao Jiyuan is dead, even if we disappear, no one will find out about us, you are like this now, we are afraid that we will never be able to go back to Daxia in the future." ”
Zhao Jizhe grinned and said: "We have been planning for so long, if everything is hidden in the dark, what a pity, anyway, you and I don't plan to go back, even if we go back again, the cultivation will not be what it is today, at that time we must already have the strength that no one can bully, so ah, find someone to appreciate our masterpiece, it is worth being happy!" Chu Ze, as a person who participated in the whole process, let him know that it is very suitable, I actually want to see his expression face to face, but unfortunately, I can't do it! ”
Looking at Zhao Jizhe's somewhat crazy smile, Mi Qing leaned lightly on him.
For her, there is nothing wrong with such Zhao Jizhe!
He just wants revenge, revenge for himself!
Mi Qing knows this very well, so no matter what Zhao Jizhe does, she will support it.
"Ji Zhe... After us, we are free! ”
"Hahaha! That's right! Freedom, the sea is wide and the fish jumps, the sky is high and the birds fly, with the wealth you have accumulated in advance, we will go to the Zhou Kingdom, and we can do whatever we like! When the strength is enough, no one can bully it! ”
Zhao Jizhe hugged Mi Qing and looked up to the sky and laughed!
Great Summer, Kyoto!
Chu Ze came to Chen Jinsong's study!
An old man and a young man sat across the desk, and there was a letter from Zhao Jizhe in front of them!
"Alas... What a child! Poor man, too! ”
Chen Jinsong shook his head and sighed: "Don't take out this letter!" ”
"Huh? Why? ”
"What's the point of taking it out?" Chen Jinsong said softly: "Zhao Jizhe has already left, and it is difficult to arrest him back, who is the biggest beneficiary of this matter now?" Cao Da! You took out the letter, and Cao Da went from being a hero who broke Zhao Jiyuan's blood sacrifice to a fool who was taken advantage of. What do you think Cao Da would think? What's in it for you to make enemies other than one? ”
"What about Zhao Jiyuan?"
"That's not something you should worry about, whether Zhao Jiyuan dies in remorse or not has no effect on you! A person who is destined to die, whether it is pain or regret in the end, is actually meaningless. Chen Jinsong looked at Chu Ze and sighed: "This Zhao Jizhe is hidden deep enough, but there are not a few children of the royal family, like him, so when interacting with the children of the royal family, you must be extra careful, and always keep three points of vigilance!" ”
Chu Ze pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "I know!" Then I'll burn the letter. ”
"Hmm."
At this time, Chu Ze looked at Chen Jinsong, frowned and asked, "What is the situation with Zhao Yi, the son of the fourth prince?" I don't have a clue at all! ”
Chen Jinsong shook his head: "Leave him alone!" What Zhao Jizhe said, it doesn't matter to you, he doesn't necessarily leave, what he says is the truth, what Zhao Yiruo has the same grudge against him? Maybe he just wants to lend your hand to stumble Zhao Yi? Remember, it's enough to keep your head above water and do what you have to do! ”
"Good!" Chu Ze picked up the letter casually and crumpled it into a ball!
In fact, no one expected that the demon head of the ring head knife that shocked the imperial capital turned out to be Zhao Jiyuan!
If you want to talk about this matter, the most shocking thing is the three princes!
This was completely unexpected.
As soon as the incident came out, his first reaction was whether it would have any effect on him!
So he entered the palace as soon as he asked to see him!
A handful of snot and a handful of tears cried at Emperor Xia, scolding Zhao Jiyuan for being mad and failing his usual teachings.
Emperor Xia was very calm about his reaction!
"The third child, you have a lot of sons, and you are busy on weekdays, so it is inevitable that you can't take care of them, which is normal, but I have to make it clear to you first, Zhao Jiyuan and your concubine must be executed, in order to appease the heart of the powerful in the court!"
Emperor Xia said calmly: "I don't plan to announce this matter to the people, for the royal family, this matter is a big scandal!" He was put down by the fat tiger and executed by Ling Chi to appease the hearts of the people! ”
Sure, the children of the royal family, slaughtering the family and exterminating the family, and sacrificing the blood of the people's heirs, if this is spread out, what do the people think of the court and the royal family of Great Xia?
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Emperor Xia to let this matter get out.
But eucalyptus can't always be used as a hanging eucalyptus, it's better to have a result.
As the actual executor, the fat tiger is the best scapegoat!
"Let my father dispose of it!" At this time, the third prince couldn't take care of Zhao Jiyuan's own son at all.
"But this matter, Chen Guogong's side, you still have to find a way to appease! Do you understand what I mean? ”
"Erchen understands!"
"Then you can go down and do it!"
Emperor Xia said casually, and the third prince quickly got up and retreated respectfully!
When he left, Emperor Xia shook his head and said, "I don't have that much spare money to wipe his ass!" Speaking of this, a playful smile appeared at the corner of Emperor Xia's mouth: "This Zhao Jiyuan, the means are ruthless and decisive, but in the end, he is a little unlucky... I wondered, did you say that this Cao Da appeared too coincidentally? ”
"Your Majesty suspects that there is someone behind this?" Huang Qixiao asked.
"Hehe, there are no people, I'm afraid it's hard to check, but ah, I guess there should be. It's just that I don't know who it is! And the way the magic came from.... I read Zhao Jiyuan's confession, and it was also quite weird. These children and grandchildren of mine don't have fuel-efficient lamps! ”
Emperor Xia looked at Huang Qi and said softly: "Pass the order and reward their mother and son with three-foot white silk, after all, they are children of the royal family, and they can't really get to the entrance of the vegetable market!" Where is the face of the royal family like that? ”
