Chapter Eighty-Eight: Looks Perfect
The pendant in Nightshadow's hand was extremely familiar to Dongfang Yi, because it was the gift his mother gave to their three brothers to canonize the prince.
Seeing Dongfang Yi's wariness, Night Shadow knew that the other party wanted to be crooked, so he smiled helplessly, "This pendant is not the one on King Ling or King Qing, but a gift from your mother to Your Majesty to ascend the throne!"
Hearing this, Dongfang Yi raised his eyebrows and sneered, "It's really funny, why didn't I know that my mother had given him a gift?"
Guessing that Dongfang Yi might not believe it, the night shadow found a comfortable position, sat next to the other party, and recalled with a jade pendant, "Sixteen years ago, oh no, it was seventeen years ago, and the situation at that time was the same as now, the princes seized the six divisions in chaos, so the first emperor made a decision at that time, let all the princes who were interested in the throne choose a department to be on duty. Your father, as the fourth son, is naturally the fourth choice, but the critical department at that time has already been divided by the other three princes, and in desperation, your father chose the criminal department, which is second only to the official department, mainly to target the other three. ”
"No wonder my grandfather's family was killed, he would help, it turned out that it was just to target my second uncle and the three of them, so it seems that the Ping Wangfu may really be wronged!" Dongfang Yi sneered.
I thought that Night Shadow would be annoyed and angry, but unexpectedly, Night Shadow nodded and continued, "It is true that he was wronged, and the person who wronged the Ping Wangfu is indeed your father. ”
Without waiting for Dongfang Yi to continue to ridicule them, Night Shadow turned his head to stare at Dongfang Yi, and said, "But because of this, your father was able to ascend the throne, and your mother was not implicated." ”
Dongfang Yi was puzzled, "What do you mean? Do you want to tell this king that behind my grandfather's case there is a power that even the emperor is afraid of?"
In this regard, Night Shadow nodded heavily, then put the pendant on Dongfang Yi's chest, diverted the topic, and said with a smile, "That's all I can tell you, as for whether you can figure out the key to it, it's up to you, and I can tell you, whether it's Your Majesty, or me, or Bu senior, we don't have any intention of harming you, even Bai Qinming is like this, but there are some things that are good to hide in our hearts, and if we say it, everyone will suffer, because we don't have the ability to protect ourselves now." ”
"It has something to do with the plan in Hidden Dragon Village and Tianji Valley?" Dongfang Yi asked with a squint.
Who knows, Night Shadow shook his head and replied, "Actually, up to now, Senior Bu's plan for us is just a guess, after all, it is a plan designed by His Majesty for ten years, so you don't have to be angry with him, including the death of your uncle Liu Mang and your mother, it is all within Your Majesty's plan." ”
Hearing this, Dongfang Yi's face was full of anger, he stared straight at the night shadow, gritted his teeth and said, "You mean he already knew that my mother would die?"
Seeing this, Night Shadow laughed at herself weakly, "Yes, in fact, not only your father, but your mother, and I, we all know it, but in the face of that force, we are powerless to resist, if your mother does not die, your father and the emperor will still have you, and even your two brothers will be killed by each other, because they are the real masters who rule this world." ”
After listening to the other party's words, Dongfang Yi laughed loudly, laughed and laughed, with a few more tears in his eyes, looking at the night shadow like looking at an idiot, and immediately scolded angrily, "What the hell are you talking to Lao Tzu? The Great Liang World is not the world of the Eastern Clan, is this world still the Mo clan of the Northern Desert? Even if you make up a story, you have to make up a decent reason, right?"
Dongfang Yi didn't believe it, Night Shadow was not surprised, glanced at the figure outside the door, Night Shadow looked down at His Royal Highness King Heng, and said coldly, "Then you tell me, why did all the abdicated emperors enter Hidden Dragon Village and not come out?
Facing the question of the night shadow, Dongfang Yi couldn't help but fall into thought, in the eighty years since the founding of Da Liang, he has indeed never seen the abdicated emperor come to the world again, and there has never even been news, as if he suddenly evaporated from the world, and the tomb belonging to the emperor in the imperial tomb has never seen anyone take the initiative to worship in the past eighty years.
After a long time, Dongfang Yi raised his head, looked directly at the night shadow, and sighed, "You mean, everything that happened here is related to Hidden Dragon Village, and it is also related to every abdicating emperor, right?"
Night Shadow nodded first, then shook his head, and said inexplicably, "It's related to Hidden Dragon Village, but this has nothing to do with the previous emperors, Your Majesty has already verified this, as for the hidden secrets of Hidden Dragon Village, Your Majesty only knows a little about it, but what it is, I'm afraid only Dongfang Shuo and the orphans of the Dewu era know." ”
Sneered, Dongfang Yi looked at the roof of the shed, and said calmly, "Let me go, since I know that all this has nothing to do with you, I will naturally not go to you for trouble from now on, but then again, as a husband, he can't protect his wife, no matter which way he explains, I have no reason to forgive him, go back and tell him for me, I'm ashamed of my surname Dongfang!"
Untying Dongfang Yi's rope, Night Shadow smiled bitterly, "I don't need to pass on this, Your Majesty has already guessed it! The matter has come to this, I hope Your Highness can bury this matter in your heart, because so far, we don't know what the real purpose of the other party is, and sometimes His Majesty even doubts whether there is also the other party's eyeliner among his heirs." ”
"So what he cares about me is just because of my mother's special identity, he won't deceive him, it's not that he really likes me, right?" Dongfang Yi shook his wrist and said with a strange smile.
If Ye Ying would have argued with Dongfang Yi before, but now in this situation, he obviously said a lot of mistakes, who told Dongfang Bo that he didn't show his husband's temperament in Chu Xueqing's matter, and this matter was still shaken out by Bai Qinming.
Thinking of this, Night Shadow glanced back at Bai Qinming's corpse, and longed to save the other party to death once.
This is the end of an infighting called the truth, in order not to cause panic to outsiders, Night Shadow discussed with Dongfang Yi before he left, "We will leave tomorrow, Bai Qinming's identity is not ordinary, whether it is Liaodong or Feng'an, I need a layer of cover, so I implore Your Highness for a favor, tomorrow when you send us out of Songyuan, I hope you can drive out of the city yourself." ”
Dongfang Yi smiled and said, "Are you trying to use the momentum of this king to cover up the death of Old Man Bai?"
Night Shadow nodded and said, "You also know what kind of virtue the people of the two families of Qiubu in Liaodong are, although you handled the matter of Haining quickly, but in the half day you left Haining, there were twenty-four young people from the two families who came to visit Bai Qinming, and tomorrow is their last chance, in case they come forward to intercept the convoy, I can't stop it quietly, otherwise Bai Qinming's death will not be covered, and similarly, the cause of Bai Qinming's death will also be investigated!"
After thinking for a while, Dongfang Yi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll help you with this favor, but you also have to remember that I don't care if Bai Qinming has malicious intentions or not, in short, he is dead, the court must not give him a bad name, and even you are not allowed to implicate his family, if I learn that Bai is making a fuss about him, don't blame me for turning my face with you when the time comes." ”
Seeing Dongfang Yi agree, Night Shadow breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as for making a fuss about Bai Qinming, he and Dongfang Bo would not be like this, after all, Bai Qinming's master is extraordinary, and at the same time, he also has Taixue's left sacrificial wine, the imperial court is now trying to change the style of writing made by Kong Ming, how dare they offend Taixue at this time.
That night, Dongfang Yi returned to the room alone, lying on the bed and thinking about everything that happened today, I have to say that all this came too suddenly, he just suspected before, but now he has determined that Chu Wenhao's tragedy, as well as the death of his mother and the old head of the Zhao family, are all related to the ghost-like village of the Dongfang family.
There was nothing to say all night, and in the early morning of the second day, Dongfang Yi responded to the arrangement of the night shadow and drove out of the city in person.
On the way, Dongfang Yi looked back at the car several times, every time he saw Bai Qinming's body, Dongfang Yi was thinking about what the other party did last night, if it was just to let him know the truth, or to provoke his relationship with Dongfang Bo, Bai Qinming could find an opportunity to find out the matter in private, and never provoke the other party in front of the night shadow, you must know that the night shadow represents the emperor, Dongfang Yi dares to guarantee that since Dongfang Bo's generation, the Bai family will never have a direct courtesy to heaven, after all, the authority of the imperial power cannot be provoked.
The night shadow who was following seemed to guess what Dongfang Yi was thinking, so he coughed lightly and said in a low voice, "I will find out this matter after I return to Beijing, Your Highness is not more worried about it!"
Dongfang Yi turned his head and sneered, "Don't bother Lord Ye, this king has hands, feet and brains, and he can check everything himself." ”
Seeing this, Nightshade shook her head and smiled bitterly, not talking.
At this time, in the crowd, as Night Shadow said, there were many young students eager to try, if it wasn't for Night Shadow arranging shadow guards in advance, and there were a few guards around the carriage, I am afraid that everyone would not wait to reach the city gate, and the carriage would be squeezed over by the young scholars who swarmed up.
Walking out of Songyuan City without danger, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then Night Shadow said goodbye to Dongfang Yi and Bushan, led a few shadow guards, and drove the carriage south.
After sending off the Night Shadow group, Dongfang Yi turned to look at Bushan at the head of the city, and asked loudly, "When will we leave?"
With a look of embarrassment, Bushan replied lightly, "Anytime!"
"Okay, you wait for me here for a while, and when I finish explaining to Ling Sile and the others, let's set off south!"
Bushan nodded expressionlessly and said, "Okay!"
Looking at the conversation below, Bu Shan looked up to the sky and sighed, once Dongfang Yi would not shy away from Bu Shan no matter what happened, but after last night's incident, His Royal Highness King Heng was afraid that he would never believe him again.
After about a cup of tea, Dongfang Yi sent Qian Bao and the others into the city, turned around and raised his head and shouted, "Let's go!"
"Hmm!"
