Chapter 31 Five-Year National Fortunes

Liu Ji said to the guards: "Got it, let them come up, I'll send the guests away first, and wait in the room for a while." ”

After the guards went down, Liu Ji sighed: "Buddhism often says, resentment will be, love parting, today it seems that there is some truth." He raised his glass and drank the wine, and said to Lan Yue, "Follow me." ”

Lan Yue followed Liu Ji through the corridor, through the Yuemen, and came to a garden, only to see a rockery made of different forms of Taihu Lake stones standing in the center. Through a small stone bridge, turn left and right, and came to a hole, Liu Ji pushed away a stone, revealing a rusty thick iron chain, Liu Ji said to Lan Yue: "Help me pull it, I think I can't pull it." ”

Lan Yue stepped forward and pulled the chain hard. As the chain was pulled, there was the sound of the iron wheel rubbing and creaking, and a large stone beside Lan Yue began to move, stopping for a moment, revealing a black hole. The entrance to the cave is not big, but if you look at Blue Moon's figure, you can enter it with your head down.

Liu Ji stuffed a fire fold into Lan Yue's hand and explained: "In the early years of Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty set the capital of Jinling, and the emperor ordered me to build the capital, including the imperial city and the city wall, dredge the surrounding rivers, and connect the water systems around the Jingshi. Because it was built in the name of dredging the waterway, it was built in sections and people, so no one doubted it. You enter from here and turn left at the first fork, the second fork left, and the third fork right to find the exit. The exit is in Zhongshan and is inaccessible. To the east is the official road, to the south is the mountain path, and to the north you can go to the river. ”

Liu Ji looked back at the outside and continued: "Time is running out, I'll just say it once, you have to remember that there is also an iron chain in the distance after you enter the secret passage, you don't touch it, there is a circular winch above it, you turn it right twice, turn it left once, and then push the winch into the stone wall." After you go out, you can go to Xu's house in Jiangyin to find Xu Moran, and he may be able to cure your poison. You can rest assured that no one knows your fate better than I do, and you may have a bad fate and a lonely life, but it is by no means short-lived. ”

Liu Ji still seemed to have a thousand words to say to Lan Yue, but at this time, the voice of a large number of people on the island could be heard in the distance, so he took out a small pot from the sleeve of his robe, handed it to Lan Yue, and said: "In case Xu Moran has not been found by the forty-ninth day, then swallow the medicine in the pot, which will end your suffering." With that, he pushed the blue moon into the hole.

Lan Yue, who had just entered the secret passage, was in front of him, and he was busy lighting a fire, finding a torch by the faint light, and then he found the iron chain and winch, and inserted the torch.

Besides, Liu Ji, after hearing the sound of the organ activating, left with confidence and returned to his detention on the island. Soon after sitting down, the iron door opened from the outside, and Zhu Baizhi was full of pride and stepped in proudly.

After Wei Yi gave a salute, he said: "Sincerity Bo thinks of the magic trick, and you should know the meaning of my landing on the island today." Liu Ji was named Sincerity Uncle in his early years, so Zhu Bai was called this title.

Liu Ji sat firmly on the chair, did not get up, and replied in a calm tone: "Uncle Cheng Cheng has been dead for many years, and at this moment, Lord Zhu is just an old man who is about to die. ”

Zhu Bai saw that Liu Ji had something to say, revealing his determination to fight to the death, his eyes rolled, and he said with a sneer: "Although the sincerity of Uncle is peeking into the way of heaven, the day when the immortal will go is not far away, but the second son Liu Jing is still alive, and he is deeply favored by the emperor, and he is an official in the court, is the safety of his nephew more important than the life and death of his parents and sons?"

Liu Ji has two sons, the eldest son Liu Lian was killed by Hu Weiyong in the tenth year of Hongwu, and now Zhu Bai threatens Liu Ji with Liu Jing's life and death, forcing him to ask about the whereabouts of Lan Yue.

When Liu Ji heard this, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately disappeared. Zhu Bai's heart suddenly shuddered.

Liu Ji turned and said indifferently: "Since Lord Zhu asks this, what does it matter if I tell you? Blue Moon has already infiltrated the secret passage and is on her way to leave the island at the moment. ”

Zhu Bai's face was happy, and he said, "Where is the entrance?" As if answering Zhu Bai's question, there was a muffled sound of "boom" somewhere under the island, and then the sound reached the ground.

Zhu Bai was shocked, but Liu Ji said casually: "The entrance is in the garden rockery." However, Blue Moon has activated the 'Gate Gate' from the inside, and the entrance has collapsed and closed, and it can no longer be used. If you don't believe me, you can check it out in the garden. ”

Zhu Bai snorted coldly, and immediately got up and came to the garden to check, and sure enough, the center of the garden collapsed, and the rockery collapsed, even if there was an entrance, it was also closed and could not be entered.

Zhu Bai gritted his teeth in anger, reflexively returned to Liu Ji's room, and saw that Liu Ji was still sitting in the chair, smiling, and couldn't help but scold: "Old horseman, dare to bully me!" But Liu Ji still didn't move, Zhu Bai felt bad, and when he stepped forward to see, although Liu Ji was smiling, he was already dead of anger.

Zhu Bai was not small at this time, you must know that although the matter of Lan Yue's escape is not small, the emperor will blame, but Liu Ji's death is very important, if he is forced to commit suicide, he will be in big trouble, with the emperor's moody character, he will be angry with himself, and he will be busy checking carefully.

Zhu Bai checked Liu Ji's mouth, nose and face, and there was no trace of suicide by poisoning, so he should be dying of old age and natural death. When I reached out again, I found that there was a letter hidden in the sleeve of Liu Ji's robe, with the words "My Emperor and Holy Lord personally opened", which was sealed with fire paint. Obviously, this is a suicide note written by Liu Ji to the emperor in advance because he has already calculated the period of his return to heaven, but at the same time, it can be calculated that it will happen when he lands on the island, and such a magical power is so clever that it is chilling.

Zhu Bai waved his hand, and all the people behind him withdrew. When he was alone, Zhu Bai held the letter in his left hand, held the palm in his right hand, and sealed it with his palm, luck, the palm turned red, and a wave of heat slowly attacked, and the envelope fire paint slowly melted. Zhu Bai took out the letter and read it carefully.

At the beginning of the letter, Liu Ji recalled the eventful years when he followed the emperor to expel Hu Lu and restore China in his early years, many of which praised the emperor's merits and virtues, and frankly admitted that he was afraid of the power struggle after the founding of the People's Republic of China. But the last paragraph is thrilling to watch!

It turned out that Liu Ji was not afraid of revealing the secret of heaven before he died, so he left a 16-character proverb to reveal the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty five years later: "The sky collapses and the earth cracks, and the sun sets in the middle of the sky." Uncles and nephews cannibalize each other, causing trouble to Xiao Wall. ”

After reading the letter, Zhu Bai's hands trembled, and his whole body was cold. The sky collapsed, and the sun set in the middle of the sky - it means that the emperor died five years later, like the sun setting. Uncles and nephews cannibalize each other, and the disaster causes Xiao Wall - it means that the uncles and nephews of the Zhu family kill each other, and even start a war to fight for the throne. Now that Zhu Yunwen has been established as the prince, there will be his uncles competing for the throne when he succeeds to the throne. Think about Zhu Yuanzhang's wanton killing of military generals and heroes in order to consolidate the throne of Zhu Yunwen a few days ago, and then think about himself being one of the emperor's uncles, when Zhu Yuanzhang sees this letter, will he also be included in the list that threatens his nephew's throne and must be eradicated?

Thinking of this, he didn't hesitate to put Liu Ji's letter group into his hand, and as soon as he got lucky, the heat waved, and the letter in his palm suddenly turned into ashes.
