Chapter 13: Inquiry
Rulu woke up, and when she saw Yang Xiu and the white-haired old man who had been treated by Su Ci below, she was very angry, and even showed half of her little tiger teeth.
Su Ci can't explain some of his plans to her now, in short, Yang Xiu can't die now, he persuaded Rulu for a long time before he was willing to let Yang Xiu go, Su Ci felt that Rulu's revenge and revenge temperament was very cute.
The two took Yang Xiu out of the stone chamber to explore the way out, and after Yang Xiu's explanation along the way, Su Ci learned that this place was indeed a tomb, but the owner of the tomb was not the ghost they had seen before, and the real owner of the tomb was the previous patriarch of the Mumu clan.
Su Ci and Rulu followed behind Yang Xiu, and after he saw what happened to his grandfather on the sheepskin, he wanted to know who the assassination of his grandfather was, so he asked, "You said that the one in the bronze coffin is not the patriarch of the Muyu clan, who will it be?"
Yang Xiu said: "Every patriarch of the Mumu clan will have a dead man who is only loyal to him, and after the patriarch dies, this person will also be buried with him, and the one you see should be." ”
Su Ci nodded, and the deer beside him grabbed Su Ci's clothes and picked the mud on them by himself.
Su Ci didn't care about Rulu, remembered the incident on the sheepskin, and asked, "Do you know about the theft of the treasures of the six great martial sects?"
Yang Xiu didn't understand Su Ci's intention to change the topic, but he still replied seriously: "I said I don't know if you believe such a big thing, but why did you suddenly talk about it?"
"I'll ask you to answer," Su Ci reiterated, and after thinking about it carefully, he still decided not to ask about it.
Yang Xiu responded and said nothing.
"That old man's name is Zuo Shi, what do you do in Shenglai Building?"
Yang Xiu said: "I don't know exactly what he does, but he often teaches Brother Duan to practice swords, so we call him that, I heard that his original name was Zuo Qi." ”
Su Ci saw that he didn't seem to be lying, so he didn't ask again.
Under Yang Xiu's guidance, Yang Xiu pressed a stone brick on the stone wall, and the heavy stone door in front of the three of them rose in response.
A bright light poured in, and the sound of a gentle stream could be heard outside.
Rulu tugged at Su Ci's clothes and said, "Childe, let's go, leave that old man alone." ”
Su Ci gently pulled away Rulu's little hand and said, "Don't you want to know what's going on on the sheepskin?"
Rulu compromised: "Okay." ”
Su Ci knew that this little girl still didn't want to go back, and it was entirely because of him that he went back, so he reached out and rubbed his messy hair like a deer.
......
When the three of them returned to the stone room again, Zuo Qi had already woken up, sitting on the stone bench next to the Dan furnace, looking at the ashes that had been burned to ashes by Su Ci on the ground, and his heart was very heavy.
Yang Xiu also had to admire Su Ci's prudence, under the absolute advantage, he actually followed him to see the passage in advance, even if he escaped by himself, he could get out, and at the same time burned all the pills, leaving only what he needed.
"Since Elder Zuo is fine, let's go out. ”
Zuo Qi was very uncomfortable with Su Ci's sudden change of title, and got up and said: "This is the tomb of the patriarch of the Muyu clan, I don't know how many treasures there are in it, don't you want to look for it," the whole person smiled, and his tone was full of temptation.
Su Ci said with a smile: "Could it be that Zuo always came here to hunt for treasures?"
Zuo Qi glanced at Yang Xiu behind him, the two exchanged glances, and said sadly: "Then let's go." ”
The four of them came out of the stone room, Su Ci asked Yang Xiu and Zuo Qi to walk in front, both of them were poisoned by him, Yang Xiu had no ability to resist, and Zuo Qi lost the stone of Wushan, even if Quansheng was not his opponent, not to mention that he still had a powerful assistant like a deer by his side.
"The juniors are very curious about what Elder Zuo is doing here?"
Zuo Qi was very disgusted by Su Ci's polite appearance, and said: "You are very smart, I am here to hunt for treasures." ”
Su Ci pretended not to know about the change in his tone, and said: "Zuo Lao is a guest of honor on the throne of Shenglai, and he is also the swordsman of Duan Dagongzi, how can he do such a thing that is detrimental to Yin morality, the younger generation hopes that Zuo Lao will tell the truth." ”
Zuo Qi glared at Yang Xiu next to him, and said angrily: "Since you refuse to let me go, why do you make such a look." ”
"Appearance?" Su Ci pretended to be surprised: "Zuo Lao said that he laughed, the kid inherited Yuyuan, and the etiquette of respecting the old and loving the young is naturally understood." ”
The fact that Su Ci was accepted as a disciple by Gu Fen, the current Dahongshi, has not yet been made public in the empire, but there are already many people in the entire Baihe Town who know about it, Gu Fen, as the only surviving disciple of the old master of the Xilin School Palace, is now vacant in the current situation of the master of the Xilin School Palace, both his prestige and status are extremely high.
Therefore, once Su Ci's identity is announced by Gu Fen, then I am afraid that few people in the entire empire dare to touch him easily, but Duan Xingyun and Su Ci have a grudge for a long time, and Duan Xingyun's own status is not low, the idea is nothing more than that Gu Fen did not disclose his identity, even if he is discovered, he can resist death and not admit it, and with the strength of his own family, he will be fine.
"Zuo Lao should continue to answer my question just now. ”
Zuo Qi said: "I knew Mu Ka Lao in my early years, and I had the grace to save my life, so I came to visit. ”
"Oh?" Su said, "Why are you here again?"
Zuo Qi said: "When I went up the mountain and encountered the encirclement and suppression of the cottage by the government, of course I couldn't appear in front of the people of the government, so I rescued Yang Xiu and took him here to hide." ”
Su Ci saw that what he said was the truth, and he didn't miss anything, but just sighed: "Poor Mukha Lao, he actually saved an ungrateful person." ”
Zuo Qi said: "Everyone knows that this era is very bad and cruel, and who will not spare their lives." ”
As a teenager who grew up on the edge of the empire, he listened to his grandmother's stories about gnawing tree roots and eating tree bark, and he also saw many people starving to death on the way.
Since the unexpected collapse of the Emperor Lin, after the chaos of King Ping, Emperor Ming ascended the throne, the world has been quiet for 18 years, but after Emperor Hui was elevated, and by the Xilin Palace, the Donglin Divine Cult was abolished, and the people suffered the largest flood since the founding of the country, after surviving a catastrophe, Emperor Hui died, Gongzi Su ascended the throne, rebuilt Donglin, and took charge of the court.
Rulu beside him had a great feeling and pouted.
Su Ci changed his words and said, "The junior wants to ask Zuo Lao some things. ”
Zuo Qi didn't speak, Su Ci smiled, and read directly: "In the autumn of the twelfth year of Getian, Emperor An gave death to the Marquis of Meng, the general Su Jingnan was unwilling, Gao Zhan's father-in-law and Prime Minister Ye Chenying framed him for rebellion and was arrested, Emperor An Youde was exiled to southern Xinjiang, but Gao Gonggong sent someone to assassinate Su Jingnan and killed him in the middle of the night......"
Zuo Qi's brows gradually eased as he listened, until Su Ci's voice stopped abruptly, and then said, "This is on that sheepskin," his tone was very calm, even calmer than before.
Su Ci didn't answer him, and said, "Tell me who this Su Jingnan is." ”
Yang Xiu, who was beside Zuo Qi, suddenly turned his head, but met Su Ci's pair of stunning eyes.
