Chapter Seventy-Five: The Seven Sons

After listening to Mizi's experience at the headquarters in Langya, Shandong, everyone was distressed and guilty, especially Luozi, who secretly blamed himself for not letting Mizi go, knowing that it was so sinister, he should have gone by himself in the first place. If someone hadn't rescued him, he would have to bear a lifetime of self-blame.

Yazi rested for a while, and wanted to continue, but was persuaded by Yumeko and warned him that he had just woken up and should not say more. Miko nodded, indicating that she accepted Yumeko's suggestion, and said, "I said the last sentence, looking for the Yin Soldier Talisman, maybe it's a fake mission. Hearing this, the four of them were stunned for a moment, and then immediately turned their heads to look at Luozi, one of the disciplines of the seven sons, not to question the captain, not to question the order. But now Miko actually said that the mission was fake. They can't question it, they don't want to question it, they just hope that Lhotse can have a reasonable explanation.

Luozi's face was very white at this time, and under the dappled light in the room, a face that was usually handsome showed extremely cold. He never cared for any skeptical gaze, but Miko's words reminded him of the doubts that had been haunting his heart for three years.

"Have you ever wondered why we are called the Seventh Son?" he did not directly answer the crowd about the truth of the mission, but instead asked a seemingly irrelevant, meaningless question.

"Because there are seven of us, of course. He replied, obviously a little pale.

"The Seven Sons are indeed named after the composition of seven people, but they are not just seven people, their members are all from the seven great families, that is, the sons of the world. Its existence was once a glorious Qizi who protected the imperial court, and it was also a banner that people looked forward to for the children of the world, but I don't know when it became a chess piece dedicated to doing some disgraceful chess, and now it has become the enlightenment of a certain event in a daze, and it may become a waste and useless abandoned child in the future. The seventh son, this name, obtained the mystery and mystery. "Lhotse cultivates metaphysics, this set of explanations of the names of the seven sons, speaking eloquently, it is like talking about it. The uncle understood, and he nodded frequently as he listened. The gully asked, "I was stunned by what you said about the seven sons and seven sons." ”

Lhotzi ignored him and continued, "Three years ago, before Tomoko disappeared, he had a long talk with me. At that time, he seemed to have foreseen that something was going to happen to him. "Everyone knows that as the former captain, Zhizi is best at the Tianxing Technique, that is, observing the heavens, knowing the number of fates, and measuring the fortune of the country, he can predict his future, it should be true.

"What did he say would happen?"

"He didn't say what he would do, but I had a vague feeling. He said the headquarters seemed to be dominated by a mysterious force. He has been secretly inquiring about who this force really is. Lhotse recalled slowly. Everyone listened attentively, as if they saw the wise son who was kind and tolerant, like a father and a brother.

"Why didn't we feel it?" asked Yumeko.

"However, I also feel different. When I first joined the Seventh Son, I followed Zhizi to do some things to calm the chaos and consolidate the dynasty. But in recent years, it has been either assassination or intelligence gathering. Feel like a killer. "Gully is also older than these people when he is the seventh son, and he agrees with Tomoko's words.

"Zhizi said that if there is really a mysterious force that controls the headquarters, it is equivalent to controlling the Wang family, which is equivalent to controlling half of the court, and can even influence the emperor to monopolize the dynasty. ”

"How is that possible, how can it be so powerful?" asked the man, he was a martial artist who had always been indifferent to the affairs of the court.

If so, it's not impossible. The king and the horse have been in the world for decades. In addition, since the Western Jin Dynasty, other clans have been declining, and now the protégés and in-laws of the Wang family basically occupy all the official positions of all departments of the imperial court. The uncle's words caused the dream son from the Huiji Yu clan and the Miko from the Zhongxing clan to nod frequently.

"Tomoko is worried that if it is really manipulated, will it set off another battle in troubled times. From the end of the Han Dynasty to Cao Wei, to the Two Jin Dynasty, the mountains and rivers have been broken for too long. Although now we have retreated to the right of the river, the left side of the river is occupied by the Hu people. But at least across the river, the people have been given a few years of stable life. At that time, I said that there is still a king and a king, but he is not the main battle. Zhizi said that although there is Wang Dao in the phase now, he will not fight. But it won't be too long, three or five years later, as soon as he dies, all the forces of the court will surely rise up and fall into a power struggle again. And then maybe there will be a resurgence of smoke. ”

"Three or five years? Now that Director Wang has just died, then Zhizi predicted it three years ago?"

"At that time, I was still young, and I never thought that there would be many open and secret battles in the court. Until Zhizi suddenly disappeared, I took over the captaincy, and in the past six months, for some reason, I always dreamed that Zhizi said to me, although we are the seventh son of the headquarters, but we are the seventh son of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. ”

"That's why you asked Yako to inquire about Tomoko's whereabouts?, then why did Yako say that checking the Yin Talisman is a fake mission?"

"I don't know if the mission is true or not, it's just that that day when Xiahou Ti said that there might not be any Yin Soldier Talisman in the world at all. I was skeptical. "Along the way, all the clues are intermittent, and they seem to have nothing to do with each other." I'm also a little confused. ”

"Don't worry, I've been thinking about it for the past two days. Now that we're all together, take a moment to sort it out, and maybe we'll find all sorts of mysteries. The uncle comforted Lhotse.

"Xiahou Ti, it's Xiahou Ti again, who is this person?" Mengzi heard the name again.

"I'll talk to you later when I have a chance. Actually, I don't know who this person is. The uncle glanced at Luozi, and said a perfunctory word.

"The reason why I suspect it is a fake mission. It's because when I was rummaging through the files, I saw that the remarks for this task read: Fake hand Yin Soldier Talisman, lead the snakes out of the hole. Miko, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"Fake hand yin soldier talisman, lead the snakes out of the hole?" several people repeated these ten words in unison.

"Who is the snake? Whose hand is it? Could it be that we are using the Yin Talisman to draw out someone?" said Yumeko as she thought.

"I wonder if the snakes here are the mysterious forces?" the uncle asked Luozi.

Lhotse shook his head and said leisurely, "Maybe he can tell us, but... Where is he?" The uncle sighed softly in his heart, he knew who he was in Luozi's mouth.

"Who is he?" Yumeko, who was on the tip of his ear, heard it anyway, and no one answered him.

"Since the mission is fake, do you want to continue looking for the Yin Soldier Talisman?" asked Yako.

"Of course, it's the rule that the mission must be achieved, even if it's fake. Gully said firmly.

"But if there really isn't such a thing as a Yin Soldier Talisman in this world, how can you find it?" said Yumeko.

"It doesn't matter if there is a Yin Soldier Talisman or not. The point is that it is always as if someone is guiding us in the dark. We will follow the clues prompted and follow it all the way, and there will definitely be an answer. Uncle said confidently.

"Then do I want to continue to investigate Tomoko's whereabouts?" asked Yako.

"You say, Tomoko, is he still alive?" asked Yumeko softly. He said something that many people dare not face.

"He shouldn't be dead. Yazi said firmly, "I have read all the files of the Seven Sons of the Library Pavilion. If a person dies, the name is crossed out. But Tomoko's name hasn't been crossed out, and we don't have any new people to add in, so I guess Tomoko isn't dead. ”

"Now it's alarmed the headquarters, even if Yako hasn't said anything. I think they've already guessed who he is. The uncle said, "Do you want to let Miko hide?"

"No, it's here. If there is a punishment, I will bear it alone. If there is no punishment, it is not a good thing. Lhotse's eyes lit up, and for the first time he felt that he was beginning to take on the role of captain.
