It stands to reason that the case has progressed to such a point, Xie Yixiang has gained nothing in Ningyi City, and when King Heng's rebels besiege the city, the best choice for her is undoubtedly to return to Shaoxing and find Yang Zhutou and others to discuss in the long run. However, she was unwilling to give up and returned alone, and for a while her heart was extremely conflicted.

So on this night, it was a good weather with the moon in the sky and the stars surging, Xie Yixiang already had something in her mind, where could she sleep? She left the guest room of the yamen and went to the streets of Ningyi City alone to wander around, and before she knew it, she had already wandered into a poor house in the south of the city. At this time, the night was dark, and there was not a single person in the streets, and even the patrolling sergeants and servants had rested, which could be described as surprisingly quiet. When she turned the corner, she suddenly heard a low roar from someone on the corner, as if she was in a dying throes.

It is said that Xie Yixiang has witnessed many people dying of hunger in the past two days, and his appearance can be described as miserable. She followed the sound all the way, and finally found a scrawny, long-bearded man on a dark corner, dirty, sitting on the corner, with his back against the wall gasping for breath, but his eyes were unusually bright, staring at the stars in the night sky. Xie Yixiang knew that this was a person's return to the light before he died, so he hurriedly took out half of the black-flour steamed bun from his arms, approached and asked, "This gentleman is hungry?" I still have half a piece of steamed bread left over from the evening here, if Mr. doesn't dislike it, it's better to pad his stomach." ”

When the words fell, the long-bearded man ignored it, still looking at the night sky overhead, the muscles on his face kept twitching, and he suddenly said in a hoarse voice: "There are three walls of talent, Zhonggong Ziwei...... Now, the four stars of 'death', 'town', 'spirit', and 'soul' are the signs of the four emperors rising up and winning the Central Plains. It won't be long before it's not just the northwest and Jiangnan, it's ...... The whole world will be in complete chaos! Thousands of miles of corpses will be ambushed, and rivers of blood will flow! It's a pity...... It's a pity that the poor road can't be seen anymore......"

Xie Yixiang was inexplicable when she heard this, and then she realized that the dirty clothes of the long-bearded man in front of her were actually an apricot-colored Taoist robe stained with black mud. She handed over half of the steamed bun in her hand and said, "Dao Chief, let's eat something first." As soon as Xie Yixiang stretched out her hand, the Taoist priest suddenly stretched out an arm, grabbed her wrist, and said sharply: "You haven't ...... Haven't understood yet...... The so-called astrological sign of 'the four emperors rising together and winning the Central Plains' means that in the near future, in the land of the Central Plains, in addition to the current emperor, there will be ...... There will also be four other true dragon emperors, all of whom are qualified to sit on the throne! And whose pocket will this great river and mountain fall into, that will be ...... It depends on which of them is more ruthless in his methods and whose heart is more poisonous!"

Xie Yixiang understood what he meant, and couldn't help blurting out: "The foundation of this dynasty has been decided, in addition to the current emperor, where are there four other true dragon emperors?" As soon as the words came out, she suddenly recalled that not long ago in the starry night in Zhenjiang, the old man fishing by the Yangtze River had said something similar, saying that "the four stars seize the throne, and the crape myrtle loses its color". Could it be that these two people are actually masters of astrology, so they watched the sky at night and foresaw the same result according to the astrological signs?

For a while, Xie Yixiang was blessed to his heart, and he thought carefully about the words of this Taoist priest, and suddenly came to his senses. Could it be that one of the other four so-called "True Dragon Heavenly Sons" refers to the current rebellion against King Heng? You must know that this King Heng is a prince, and he is one of the best figures among all the princes, plus he has a heavy army, even the imperial court has no way to take him, if it is said that he is also the body of the "True Dragon Emperor", it is worthy of the name.

As for the other three, there must also be the "Little Dragon King" Zhao Xiaoling, who he and Ning Cui rescued in the Tianshan Ink Tower last winter. This young man is not only the son of the former leader of the Xiang Army, the "Nine Dragon King", but also the grandson of Mo Ming, the leader of the Shenhuo Sect, with unfathomable internal strength and almost invincible in the world. If it weren't for the emperor's secret deception back then, I am afraid that he would have already become the lord of the Han people today under the support of the Shenhuo Sect, and naturally he would also be the "True Dragon Son of Heaven".

In addition, just before Xie Yixiang left Jinling, he heard a lot of rumors in the market, saying that the emperor finally had the intention of establishing a prince, and the candidate was the eldest son of the emperor who was married to his eldest sister Xie Xunfang. And when his father was alive, he also said that after the death of the current emperor, there is a chance that the eldest son of the emperor will inherit the throne. In this way, the eldest son of the emperor should also occupy a seat in these four places, since he is carried by heaven.

So this last "True Dragon Heavenly Son", looking at today, who else can be on a par with the above three? Xie Yixiang thought about it, but couldn't think of a suitable candidate, so he had to screen them one by one among the emperor's princes. However, she counted them one by one, and suddenly recalled what her father said to her second brother Xie Qinghui on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, and in an instant, she only felt cold hands and feet, and her vest was full of cold sweat.

I remember my father saying that night, "...... King Zhao led his army south this time, and he took care of advancing and retreating, and he really made a wonderful move...... "Xie Yixiang was in a state of confusion at the time, thinking that his father was just refusing King Zhao's proposal, so he didn't think deeply about it. At this time, I remembered it again, and then recalled the second brother's reaction when he heard this, and his heart was already bright.

It turned out that the analysis of the mysterious little Taoist priest was not wrong at all, and the series of layouts in the Western Regions were really just a sound attack on the west, so that a prince from Mobei could sneak attack Jinling in the south and plot to usurp the throne. As for the "corpse army", it was naturally a bait deliberately put into the Central Plains by King Zhao, but he splashed dirty water on the body of King Weiyi of Ningxia. If that "corpse army" can really capture Jinling, then the 2,000 soldiers immediately followed by King Zhao will be able to take over Jinling City with no effort and then ascend to the throne with the momentum of "yellow sparrows behind"; if that "corpse army" is defeated and defeated by the garrison of Jinling City, then King Zhao will attack back and forth, and excuse himself in the name of 'returning to the division to rescue', and even a great achievement. This is exactly what my father said, "all take care of advance and retreat", and naturally played a wonderful good move.

Therefore, at that time, the 2,000 cavalry under the command of King Zhao traveled thousands of miles, but they never found the trace of the "corpse army" along the way, so they allowed those foreign soldiers to come to the city; It's a pity that now, many months have passed since this matter, and King Zhao has already returned to the Datongwei station in Mobei, even if he figured out the reason, or someone in the court had already doubted King Zhao, it was just a guess, and there was no evidence to confirm the big crime of King Zhao's "prince conspiracy rebellion".

Thinking of this, Xie Yixiang felt more and more dirty in the political situation, whether it was the current emperor, or the eldest son of the emperor under his knees, King Zhao and King Heng, none of them were good things, how could he be spinning in this pool of sewage? Looking at the Taoist priest in front of him, the gaze in his eyes was already a little sloppy, and a low roar came out of his throat, Xie Yixiang hurriedly broke free from his palm and stuffed the half of the steamed bun into the hand of the Taoist priest. At the same time, Xie Yixiang's heart suddenly moved, and she asked: "Many years ago, I was instructed by a master to say something like 'the old star is out of position, and it will be a disaster for the world'. Since the Dao Master is proficient in the art of astrology, dare to ask how Tai Sui Xing is doing?"
