Sui Hong saw that Bai Qiurui was safe and sound, and saw Shen Yuan and the little girl together, with a touch of joy on her face.

Sui Hong's face was overjoyed when she saw the two of them appear safely, and she was the first to react and stepped forward.

"Sister Sui, it's good that you're okay."

Bai Qiurui also responded with a smile, and after speaking, her eyes looked around.

Dense groves of trees, hills of varying heights in the distance. All of this shows that they may not be in the Ziyang Temple at the moment.

"This ...... Where is this? ”

Bai Qiurui was stunned when she looked at the situation in front of her, and turned her head in disbelief to look at the secret passage stone door behind her.

Shen Yuan's expression was relatively calm, he looked sideways around, and then seemed to think of something.

"This is on the Ziyang Mountain connected to the Ziyang Temple?"

He moved his gaze to Gu Yi, and there was still some uncertainty in his eyes.

The latter nodded very affirmatively: "Well, it's in Ziyang Mountain." ”

After speaking, Gu Yi glanced up and down at Shen Yuan, and then looked sideways at the secret passage that he and Bai Qiurui ran out.

"Why are you here, and what's going on with this stone path?"

got that he had opened a secret passage from Ziyang Mountain and ran directly to the mountain, and Bai Qiurui couldn't come back to his senses.

Shen Yuan briefly told them what had happened, and then began to ask why Gu Yi and Sui Hong were here.

Gu Yi pointed to a small thatched house not far from his side, and then explained the reason.

After Bai Qiurui and Sui Hong saved him at the beginning, he focused on the poor man who was captured.

Then, after repeated threats and intimidation of the man, Gu Yi took out the poison he had refined and said that he would give it to him.

In the end, the man was so frightened that he did everything.

"I'm worried that you are in danger, and I want to take a look in the temple, and that guy said that there is a secret passage on Ziyang Mountain that can lead to the Taoist temple, so I came over."

Gu Yi said it easily, but he didn't know what was in this secret passage.

"When I was about to go up the mountain with that guy, I happened to see the red girl coming out of the wall of the Taoist temple, so I went up the mountain with her."

After Gu Yi finished speaking, he didn't forget to knock a chestnut on Sui Hong's head, and he was dissatisfied: "I don't have that diamond diamond, what kind of porcelain work do you have, you were almost caught." ”

Sui Hong usually has a cool temperament in front of outsiders and is not informal, but she seems to be particularly "afraid" of Gu Yi.

In the face of her brother's disgruntled admonition, she rarely did not speak out to refute.

With some shame on his face, he said aggrievedly: "I'm doing good kung fu, isn't it okay......"

Seeing Gu Yi's face gradually darkening, Sui Hong immediately straightened her waist and stood up, swearing that she would not be in the future.

Gu Yi's face softened when he saw this, and then he suddenly found that Bai Qiurui and Shen Yuan seemed to be closer than before.

He couldn't say what the state was, but in short, it was obvious that the atmosphere between the two was closer than before.

"What happened to you in this secret passage?"

Gu Yi started with some curiosity, and his eyes kept looking at the two of them.

Bai Qiurui came into contact with Gu Yi's gaze, and she didn't know what was wrong, her face was inexplicably a little hot.

And this appearance did not escape Gu Yi's eyes, including Sui Hong on the side, who could also see that Bai Qiurui's expression was a little shy.

Bai Qiurui was thinking about what to say, but Gu Yi beside her spoke one step ahead of her.

"We ran into a living corpse in a secret passage, and we were in danger."

Originally, Gu Yi wanted to hear something "special", but his ears were propped up, but Shen Yuan's eyes widened in shock.

"You say there's a living corpse in this secret passage?!"

Stretching out his hand and pointing at the stone door in front of him, the swarthy hole was like a bottomless abyss, devouring all living things.

Before Gu Yi could recover from his surprised state, he heard Shen Yuan continue: "You were tricked here, he didn't tell you this secret passage because he was afraid, but because he wanted you to die inside. ”

Gu Yi naturally understood this stubble, and anger rarely flashed on his always casual and wanton face.

"The man is tied to the stone behind the bush, and I'll make him look good later!"

Shen Yuan didn't say anything, but briefly said what they had passed by, and everyone immediately prepared to return the same way.

With Shen Yuan's identity here, it is easy to enter the Taoist Temple.

Judging from the guards guarding outside the Taoist temple at the beginning, they should not be the people arranged by Meng Beihe, and nine times out of ten they are the guards of the imperial city.

In this way, as long as Shen Yuan is here, there must be no problem. When I entered the Taoist temple, I found Meng Beihe and then relied on my ability.

He wants to kill the king, and he also buries a large amount of gunpowder around the sacrifice to the sky, so he will definitely not startle the snake.

This was also one of the reasons why he didn't treat Shen Yuan unfavorably at the beginning.

What's more, Sui Hong was able to escape from the Taoist temple unscathed, which was also because Meng Beihe didn't want to destroy his long-planned plan and deliberately showed mercy.

Otherwise, if you make a fuss, you can't guarantee that there will be no mistakes.

Therefore, as long as they enter the Ziyang Temple now, nothing will happen to them.

Moreover, after this experience, Bai Qiurui could feel that Meng Beihe's target was only the emperor and many royal relatives, and he would not care about anyone else.

"It turns out that you have long suspected this Ministry of Rites Shangshu, he is bold, and he is a bit delusional."

Following Gu Yi all the way back, he heard about this series of things and couldn't help but speak.

Sui Hong was also surprised: "I didn't expect that there were so many hidden secrets behind these things, Meng Beihe turned out to be the son of the commander of the Blue Dragon Army back then." ”

Bai Qiurui sighed: "It's a pity, at this time, people are not the same as they were then, and now Meng Beihe only wants revenge, ruthless, cold-blooded and ruthless." ”

Not long after everyone left, they saw the unlucky man who was knocked out by Sui Hong outside the Ziyang Temple at the beginning.

"Thank you for leading the way, I can be regarded as bringing people out."

Gu Yi approached the man's side, with a gloomy smile on his face, and squatted down.

He looked at the man who was tied up and tried to break the rope to escape, but he didn't run away, and the curvature of his lips gradually widened.

It was the first time Bai Qiurui saw Gu Yi's appearance, and she couldn't help but have a cold war.

This offends no one and can't offend the doctor, otherwise, I don't know how I died.

When the man saw Gu Yisheng come out, he moved his gaze to Bai Qiurui and Shen Yuan, his eyes full of disbelief.

"You...... You guys, it's good that you come out, I'm telling the truth......"

The man wanted to say, 'Why are you still alive?', but when the words came to his lips, he realized that something was wrong, and immediately changed his words, hoping to win trust and take the opportunity to get out.

At the same time, he couldn't figure it out in his heart.

There are bloodthirsty and carnivorous monsters hidden in that secret passage, why did a few of them come out in a good manner.

Everyone present knew it, and no one said anything, quietly watching the man act.

After Bai Qiurui saw the other party's flattering face and said that she was not lying, her eyes involuntarily looked in the direction of the stone gate, and her expression was sneaky and unpredictable.

Gu Yi saw the man talking nonsense seriously, he smiled, and randomly took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve.

"For your honest sake, I have a good poison here that has eaten a rotten intestine, so I will cut it to you in pain."

After he finished speaking with a smile, his face had changed instantaneously before the words fell, as if he had become a fearsome poisoner.

As soon as he reached out and clasped the man's neck, Gu Yi was about to pour the pill in the porcelain bottle into his mouth.

"Oh, no...... No, spare your life! ”

The man hurriedly stretched out his hand to block it, his eyes full of panic.

Bai Qiurui spoke at the right time: "If you don't want to die, tell me carefully, what is in the secret passage behind the stone gate." ”

The man has probably seen Gu Yi's power, he couldn't assassinate him once, and now he is already afraid.

Plus there are so many people now, even if he has that heart, he doesn't have the courage.

I said...... I say. ”

The man didn't struggle much, so he confessed everything.

"In that secret passage, there are monsters that are neither human nor ghost......"

According to the man's confession, Shen Yuan's guess was confirmed.

The living corpses in the secret passage were indeed also from Meng Beihe's hands, and the man also confided that the ghost soldiers in the capital killed people some time ago, and the ghost soldiers who appeared at night were the illusion that these living corpses were controlled by others.

As soon as these words came out, Bai Qiurui's heart was shocked, and she couldn't help but look up at Shen Yuan.

At the beginning, in his own mansion, Shen Yuan did say that Meng Beihe's various abnormal behaviors.

And this person was revealed to Shen Yuan by herself from the beginning, which made him suspicious and tested himself repeatedly.

She had never been able to figure out why Meng Beihe wanted to create ghost soldiers to kill people, causing panic in the capital, and she had never been able to guess why he made these living corpses.

Now that his identity has been revealed, the person who died in the ghost soldier case was also involved in the same case.

These scattered puzzles already have a thread that connects them one by one.

Meng Beihe, as the little son of Meng Changan, the commander of the Blue Dragon Army, was originally an iron-clad young general, but he was killed because he was framed.

Lucky to escape, he changed his face and re-entered the court, just for revenge.

In the case of the ghost soldier's murder, the few officials who died were all involved in the review of the Qinglong Army's treason case of collaborating with the enemy.

They have the heart to shield those behind the scenes, and they will not hesitate to ruthlessly wipe out an entire loyal and invincible army.

In every way, these people died unjustly.

On the day of the spring banquet in King Ning's Mansion, a fire broke out in the mansion, and several murderers infiltrated with bad intentions.

At that time, everyone thought that someone wanted to hurt Han Chengyu, the king of Ning.

Now it seems that I am afraid that the assassination of Han Chengyu is fake, and the fire that ignited in the study is the real purpose.

Because, only in this way, can there be a reasonable explanation for the two letters in the drawer of the meditation room of Nanyue Temple.

Presumably, Meng Beihe arranged two passers-by, and a team of people caused a commotion on the bright side and attracted everyone's attention.

The other team secretly set the fire to it, and when the scene became chaotic, they took the opportunity to find the key letters from the study and take them away.

It's a good Ming Xiu plank road dark Chen Cang, Meng Beihe is a very thoughtful person.

After thinking about the ins and outs, Bai Qiurui heard Gu Yi's cold mouth.

"You know a lot, and if there are any other things, it's all 1510."

The man's eyes flickered, and he only hesitated for a moment, and then said, "No, I know, that's all." ”

Gu Yi's eyes flashed slightly, and he yawned lazily.

In the next second, he clamped the man's chin like lightning, and the medicine in his hand was stuffed directly into his mouth.

"Nothing else, then I'll feed you medicine."

Gu Yi smiled fiercely, and he directly wanted to avenge the man's assassination of him.

This scene made Bai Qiurui can't help but start to substitute a famous book she read in her previous life, there is a classic line in it, in a sense, it is very suitable for the current scene.

Dalang, it's time to take medicine!

"Hmm...... I still have a secret ......"

The man shook his head frantically, full of desire to survive.

Gu Yi stopped for a moment when he heard the movement of his hand, raised his eyebrows and spoke.

"What else do you have to say, well, I can consider letting you go."

The man looked at the people around him, and with a twist of heart, he said the most secret thing he knew.

"King Ning, still ...... and Zhenbei Hou, my lord, has deliberately arranged for them to abscond. ”

As soon as these words came out, except for the man who was full of survival, everyone present was stunned.

Shen Yuan frowned: "You said, Meng Beihe deliberately let people arrange for King Ning and the Marquis of Zhenbei to escape?" ”

"Yes."

This situation exceeded Bai Qiurui's expectations, she tried to recall the plot of the original book, and found that there was no mention of a single word in it.

So, after she wears the book herself, is she lucky enough to experience the hidden plot?

As early as a few days ago, Bai Qiurui had heard that the emperor had secretly placed King Ning under house arrest.

Now listening to the man's narration, I think that the town of Beihou Mansion has also been placed under house arrest.

She should have thought that Meng Beihe would not even let go of those officials who shielded the murderer behind the scenes to try the case, how could she be satisfied with just killing the king?

The biggest behind-the-scenes murderers, King Ning Han Chengyu and Zhenbei Hou Wei Yuanlong, he will definitely not let go.

It's just that it was a good thing that King Ning and Zhenbei Hou were under house arrest, so why did Meng Beihe do the opposite and go to great lengths to arrange people to help them abscond?

And Bai Qiurui found that she still had one of the most fundamental problems that she hadn't figured out.

"Why did King Ning and the Marquis of Zhenbei be ruthless and frame the leader of the Blue Dragon Army, Meng Changan's family, to such an extent?"

Shen Yuan looked at the little woman beside him, and then said lightly: "At the beginning of the emperor's accession to the throne, it was Han Chengyu, Meng Changan, and Wei Yuanlong, who tried their best to ensure that he sat firmly on the throne. ”

Hearing this, Bai Qiurui suddenly vaguely remembered that there seemed to be some sporadic introductions in the original book, she frowned and thought about it, and finally found it after a while.

The introduction in the original book was from Meng Beihe's mouth, but in just two short sentences, Bai Qiurui didn't recall it for a while.

From the original book, it is known that Han Chengyu, King of Ning, Wei Yuanlong, Marquis of Zhenbei, and Meng Changan, the commander of the Qinglong Army, were originally pillars of the imperial court who complemented each other.

Han Chengyu is good at civil governance, and Meng Changan and Wei Yuanlong are military generals, and together they are both civil and military, and they have always been favored by the emperor.

Everything changed on the day when Meng Chang'an won the final battle, and the emperor was overjoyed and threatened to crown Meng Changan as the king with a different surname.

It was such a matter of adding an official to the king that made King Ning feel the crisis.

He has always been thoughtful, and he has been quite taboo about Meng Changan's military talents, but now he heard that he was going to be crowned a king with a different surname again, so he should stop it.

However, the emperor was unwilling, so he united with Wei Yuanlong to frame Meng Changan for collaborating with the enemy and treason, and issued a death notice for the invincible Qinglong army.
