Chapter 187: Rusty Knife

When Xu Zhen spoke, except for him and Lian Ji, only Dongfang Meiyan was left in the room.

Sima Xin and that Lang Zhong had already left the room.

"You ......" Rei Ji looked at Xu Zhen in disbelief, "Why?" You...... Do you know how to read minds? ”

"It's true that you and Fang Wuxian do have a relationship," Xu Zhen said quietly, "but after all, Fang Wuxi is a felony in the imperial court, a murderous thief, and your instinctive reaction still betrayed you."

"If my guess is right, you are not just lovers, but accomplices!"

"......" mercy Ji looked bitter, but the previous tension was completely gone.

"I said it a long time ago," Dongfang Meiyan echoed, "Fang Wuxian carried out a robbery in Daguan City, and your old lover is also in Daguan City, it's really too coincidental!" ”

"No, you guessed wrong," Lian Ji shook her head, "I'm not Fang Wuxi's accomplice, the robbery has nothing to do with me, if you don't believe it, then you can go to the Inner Guard Mansion to complain, and then come and check me!" I'm waiting for ......."

With that, she stood up and wanted to leave.

"Fang Wuxian is dead," Xu Zhen said, "What else are you obsessed with?" ”

"You ......" Lian Ji never expected that Xu Zhen would use the word "persistence", not to hide it.

"If I'm not mistaken," Xu Zhen said, "Fang Wuxian didn't betray, right?" ”

"Huh!? You ......" Hearing this, the mercy was struck by lightning and trembled, "How do you know? ”

"Huh?" Oriental beauty was equally shocked.

"It seems ......" Xu Zhen smiled bitterly, "I'm right!" ”

"You ......," said the horrified Mercy, who said the usual line, "Who the hell are you?" ”

"I'm just guessing," Xu Zhen said, "when you tell about Fang Wuxi's betrayal, your eyelids flicker, and the corners of your mouth twitch slightly, which means that what you are talking about is not accepted by you."

"So, I suspect that Fang Wuxian may be on some special mission, right?"

"It's scary!" Pian Ji looked at Xu Zhen incredulously, "There is such a demon in the world, just by looking at my eyes and the corners of my mouth, you can see it......"

"Mercy," Dongfang Meiyan grabbed Mercy's collar and said excitedly, "He's right, Fang Wuxian is dead, what else is there to hide his secret?" ”

Hearing this, Mercy Ji's face was sad, her eyes were gloomy, and she thought for a long time before she said: "You are right, I am already dead without illness, what is my life?" The big deal is just death. ”

Seeing Pian Ji's resolute attitude, Dongfang Meiyan couldn't help but glance at Xu Zhen again, obviously, what Pian Ji was going to talk about next was the focus of the whole case.

"Fang Wuxian was appointed by the Emperor to find the Rusty Knife," said Lian Ji, "He rebelled against the Master and the Divine Capture Division in order to penetrate the enemy and find the whereabouts of the Rusty Knife. ”

"Huh?" Dongfang Meiyan frowned, "Rusty knife? ”

Obviously, Dongfang Meiyan had never heard of this thing.

Xu Zhen is the same, whether it is the host memory or the record of "Demon Dao", there is no such term.

"The so-called rusty knife is the saber of Li Xuanzhen, the founding emperor of Daxuan, also known as the Purple Flame Knife! It is said that the blade is covered with purple flame textures, but it looks like it is rusty, which is why it is called a rusty knife! ”

"This ......" Dongfang Meiyan's brows tightened, as if it felt unreasonable.

"The rusty knife was stolen from the Taimiao Temple a hundred years ago," said Lian Ji, "In order to find this knife, the emperors such as Shenzong, Yingzong, and Huizong have sent special people to look for it, but they have never been able to do so."

Since then, the matter of finding the rusty knife has gradually dimmed, and including the Empress Dowager Lin back then, has never bothered to find this knife.

However, I don't know why, in the Shengping period, Emperor Xinzong suddenly had a whim and restarted the search for the knife.

Moreover, he should have gotten some news, so he summoned Fang Wuzhi to the palace overnight and arranged a task for him.

"Since then, my disease-free life has been tied to that rusty knife."

A knife......

Xu Zhen was surprised and embarrassed, if what Pian Ji said was true, then Fang Wuxian was an undercover agent who broke into the enemy.

Emperor Xinzong's name is Li Xing, and he is currently the longest reigning emperor of the Daxuan Dynasty, ruling the Daxuan Dynasty for a total of 49 years.

This person is quite like the Tang Ming Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who was diligent in the government and dared to reform in his heyday, so that the Daxuan Dynasty entered the prosperous era, the territory expanded, and the world was peaceful.

However, in his later years, Xinzong gradually became comatose and indulged in fun, which led to the Xiazhou Mutiny and Rebellion.

Although the rebellion was finally quelled, it made the Daxuan Dynasty break its muscles and bones and collapsed, which led to the decline of the world and partisan disputes, leaving a mess for the current Changle Emperor Li Xin.

"What about ......," Dongfang Meiyan asked, "what happened six years ago?" ”

"After accepting the mission without illness, since I am a newcomer and used to be the Oiran of the Qinglou, I was sent by the above to be the contact person of the disease-free connection, responsible for passing information between him and his superiors.

"Six years ago, I received news that the rusty knife might be hidden in the Wanfeng Money Bank's vault, a set of containers stored in 30 years ago.

So, Wuxian teamed up with his undercover forces, carefully planned with them, and snatched the goods.

"When the goods arrived, the accomplices who robbed together wanted to kill Wuxi, but Wuxiao had already expected it and killed him.

"However, inside the box...... There are no rusty knives, just a few ......" Speaking of which, Reiki realized something, so she didn't elaborate.

"There are some things that are important to the shipper, but they don't include rusty knives." "So...... When he killed his accomplices without illness, he made a decision that ordinary people couldn't understand. ”

"Oh......" Dongfang Meiyan instantly realized, "He did it on purpose!" ”

"Yes," he nodded, "he was deliberately captured by the government in order to lure out the owner of the container, and the organization he was working undercover. ”

"What?" Dongfang Meiyan shook her head, "I heard it a little confused, what kind of organization is Fang Wuxian undercovering?" ”

"At first," replied Mercy, "Fang Wuxian went undercover for this organization, thinking that they had stolen the Rusty Knife.

"But when he really went undercover, he found out that the organization was also looking for Rusty Knife!"

"Oh, so it's not the same group as the people who stole the Rusty Knives!" Dongfang Meiyan nodded.

"Yes, it should be the owner of those containers who really stole the Rusty Knife," said Lian Ji, "and Fang Wuxi's undercover organization is also looking for the Rusty Knife, which is why they planned the robbery six years ago." ”

"Container owner...... Who is it? Dongfang Meiyan asked, "Who is the organization looking for the Rusty Knife?" ”

"I don't know," said Mercy, "I just feel that this matter is not as simple as finding a knife, there must be something on the rusty knife, otherwise, who would be interested in that rusty knife except the royal family?" ”
