Han Changsheng scratched his head, and he asked in confusion:

"In this way, it was the first emperor of the Northern Dynasty Tuoba Xiao who arranged for the Yuwen Department to do that evil thing, and presided over the detailed work that year to sneak into the city of Zhaoge that never sleeps; It was also he who arranged for the fine work in the Yuwen Department to coerce Ling or force the 'Shaoguang Sword Immortal' to commit suicide for the sake of his unyielding ambition.

In this case, the current Emperor Handyong has also been slaughtered by the current Handyong Emperor, so is this matter over? ”

Xie Zhao shook his head categorically.

"It's not over."

Han Changsheng frowned and was puzzled.

"Why?"

Xie Zhao said slowly: "If it is true that according to what Tuoba Hong said, then the first emperor of Handyong seventeen years ago Tuoba Xiao was just a pawn in the hands of others. It's just that he naively thinks that he is the one who plays chess.

Do you think that allowing the real culprits to go unpunished can be regarded as the end?

Even if Ling Or gave up the investigation, then what kind of malice did that person have towards Ling He, and would he let Ling Or go in the future? ”

Han Changsheng looked at her in a daze, and only after a moment did he frown and said:

"Yes, Ling He's birth was actually involved in the Southern Dynasty royal treasure "Luo Shu Mantra"."

He sighed: "Thanks to the royal family of the Southern Dynasty of this generation, there is such a martial arts genius as the 'Thousand Years Old Sword Immortal' Fu Jingci, which has given the Tianchen royal family enough courage.

Otherwise, I am afraid that even the Tianchen royal family may not be able to allow a child of Ling or such an identity to grow up safely for the sake of the overall situation of the Southern Dynasties. ”

Ling Or was also silent.

Han Changsheng guessed correctly.

Since Emperor Hanyong Tuoba Xiao wanted to pinch him childishly in his hands as a chess piece, how could the Tianchen royal family not be afraid that he would really fall into the hands of the enemy and become a secret arrow stabbing at his court?

However, it was because there was already a princess of Tianchen who was known as the omen of Zhongxing in the Tianchen temple at that time, so they did not take him seriously.

Ling or frowned.

He secretly thought: Since the high priest of Fengzhi has a relationship with the "Shaoguang Sword Immortal", maybe in order to protect his life at that time, this old priest also put a lot of effort into it.

Han Changsheng looked at Ling Or opposite him, and suddenly had a feeling that it was not very real.

The friends who used to live with him and walk the rivers and lakes together suddenly became the son of the son of the Emperor of Handyong in the Northern Dynasty, and he was a little confused for a while.

He looked at Ling He in a daze and asked a stupid word.

"It's not. Ling He, then haven't you become the real prince of Handyong? Your dad let you go like this? ”

Han Changsheng didn't understand!

If the aunts and grandmothers of his family caught him, they couldn't wait to arrest him and go home immediately, how did he get to Ling He here, and his father, who hadn't seen him for more than ten years, let him go so easily?

Han Changsheng thought of something, his face was furious, and he slapped the table heavily and said:

"Good! I know! Boy?! Your dad clearly doesn't want to be responsible! Does he not want to recognize you? ”

Ling He glanced at him with a complicated expression, and said slowly:

"The person who bewitched the first emperor to act and hid deep behind the scenes has not been found out yet, so he can't recognize me.

What's more, now that my mother has not avenged her revenge, she has not been able to fully confirm the truth of his words, and she will not recognize him. ”

Han Changsheng thought for a while, crossed his arms and agreed:

Yes, after all, he told those stories alone. Your mother has been dead for many years, and we have no way of proving the truth of his words.

It is true that his words cannot be fully believed until the truth is ascertained. Whether you're a 'good father' or a 'bad father' remains to be considered. ”

Ling or was silent.

Xie Zhao suddenly said at this time: "Actually, I think that Tuoba Hong's statement makes logical sense, and the timeline is also consistent with the deeds of 'Shaoguang Sword Immortal' in the past. ”

She sighed: "It is rumored that when 'Shaoguang Sword Immortal' walked the rivers and lakes when he was a teenager, he did have a companion by his side.

In the past, I only thought that it was the same disciple or sister of the 'Shaoguang Sword Immortal' in Laojun Mountain, but I didn't expect that he was the little prince Tuoba Hong of the Handyong Imperial Court back then.

So, I don't think I'm lying. But I didn't personally see the expression on Takumhiro's face when he recounted the past, so I didn't dare to say too sure. ”

Xie Zhao leaned on the pineapple wooden chair, his fingers lightly tapped the armrest of the wooden chair, frowned and continued to murmur:

"In the relics of the first emperor Tuoba Hong, he found a letter ten or twenty years ago, in the style of the Western Xinjiang Dynasty.

The style of the secret letter is the old style of many years ago, but the letter paper is the most common papyrus paper in the Northern Dynasties.

- This is clearly a mist array deliberately set up by someone, so that even if people find the clues, they can't see through the truth and reality, and they will only suspect the Xuli Dynasty, but they can't guess his true identity. ”

Ling or frowned.

"So you mean, this matter actually has nothing to do with the Western Frontier?"

"Definitely."

Xie Zhao shook his head slightly.

"Whether it is the spider grass on the arrow cluster left by the assassination case in the Guangling Martial Arts Festival today, or the letterhead intercepted by the Northern Emperor Tuoba Hong back then, it proves that this matter is inseparable from the Western Xinjiang.

But I thought, maybe this matter has little to do with the royal family and the court in Western Xinjiang, and they may be innocent.

One is that this country has been closed off from the rest of the country since ancient times, and there is no border with the other three countries, and there is no motive for doing so;

Second, even if the Imperial Dynasty wanted to do these things, there was absolutely no need to reveal its characteristics so obviously. Right? ”

Ling Or frowned and asked, "So, where should we start to investigate?" ”

Xie Zhao sighed.

"Cobwebensis is very common in pharmacies in western Xinjiang, and many local hospitals in the country will borrow a small amount of toxins from the cobweed juice to relieve pain and cure patients.

Therefore, following the clue of the spider grass on the arrow cluster, the direction is too scattered, and it is not a good direction to trace. ”

Han Changsheng also frowned when he heard this.

It's not easy to do!

He thought for a moment and asked, "Ah Zhao, but you also said just now that the letterhead that the Northern Emperor Tuoba Hong handed over to Ling He was written in the Western Xinjiang script back then, and it was only the most common northern papyrus.

- Since it is the most common papyrus here, then we start with the letter, and we still have no hand? ”

Xie Zhao looked at him with a smile and guided him, "Think again." ”

Han Changsheng paused, he looked at her blankly, and he couldn't turn around for a while.

Xie Zhao smiled, sighed and said:

"Who says we have to start on paper? In addition to the paper itself, words are actually the most unique charm, aren't they? ”

Ling He frowned slightly, staring at her.

"Don't you mean to start with the style of the letterhead?"

Xie Zhao nodded slowly, and she said thoughtfully:

"That's right, Western Xinjiang is a secluded country, so the outside world doesn't know much about them.

Actually, it's a very interesting country. It is the same as Handyong in the Northern Dynasty, with strict layers.

But the difference is that only people of high castes can learn to enter the court; People of lower castes were born only to work and produce or to be illiterate warriors, and they were never allowed to engage in the professions of officials, doctors, and scholars. ”

Ling Or suddenly realized, and instantly understood what she meant.

"You mean that in Western Xinjiang, there are very few people who can read and write, so it is not a needle in a haystack to start looking for it from the way of writing!"

"Not bad."
