Chapter 11 Miracles (continued)
"No, it can't be, he should have died thirty years ago, he can't be alive......"
Liu Chong muttered to himself, his face was extremely ugly, he thought of a person, but he felt that it was unlikely, because if nothing else, that person should have died thirty years ago, and he had killed it with his own hands. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"It can't be him, so who could it be?" Liu Chong fell into deep thought.
......
"Today, I searched through Liu Chong's warehouse in Yingyangwei thirty years ago in the Ministry of War, and accidentally discovered a strange thing. Chen Gong slowly told everyone.
Everyone listened attentively.
Chen Gong said: "About thirty years ago, Liu Chong and nearly 100,000 people under his command were ordered to march westward, but in the end, only five of the 100,000 troops returned to the imperial court under the leadership of Liu Chong. ”
"What? Only six people returned?"
Everyone was amazed when they heard this!
Of the 100,000 troops, only six returned in the end.
"I'm afraid it's not appropriate to use a rout for such a result. Huo Yuanji sighed slightly.
Chen Yutian touched his chin and thought for a while, and asked, "Then what, did the emperor dispose of them?"
Everyone's eyes followed this question, and at the same time focused on Chen Gong's face. According to them, only six of the 100,000-strong troops eventually returned, and such a defeat would have made the Son of Heaven at that time furious, and a punishment was inevitable.
But...... Chen Gong shook his head slightly in full view of everyone.
"No, they didn't receive any punishment, on the contrary, they also received a lot of rewards, and Liu Chong's throne was given at that time. ”
"What?"
Everyone sat on their chairs like a thunderbolt from the blue, petrified, and did not move for a long time!
Quiescence!
Deathly silence!
No one spoke, no one moved, and everyone's hearts were shocked.
They couldn't believe it at all, Liu Chong, who had such a defeat, was not punished by the emperor, but was rewarded.
"How is this possible?"
After a long time, Xing Enming finally opened his mouth, unbelievably authentic.
Chen Gong smiled bitterly: "I couldn't believe it when I first saw it, but after all, it was something recorded in the library, so there shouldn't be a fake." ”
"Does that dad have an impression of this?" Chen Yutian asked, "Thirty years ago, dad should have set foot in the court instead, right?"
"At that time, my father was ordered to go to Gannan Province to investigate a case and was no longer in the capital, so I didn't have a very deep impression of this matter, but I remember that not long after Liu Chong and them returned to the imperial court, Hou Qingling's family, who was then the general of Yingyang Weizhonglang, was beheaded all over the house, and the people in the capital were panicked for a while. Chen Gong thought about it, he was also very skeptical, what is the connection between this case and the incident when Hou Qingling's house was raided and destroyed thirty years ago?
"Eagle Yang Wei Zhonglang General......" Chen Yutian touched his chin and groaned slightly.
Xue Tianhan suddenly said, "What about the names of the six people?"
Ling Miaoyin looked at him suspiciously.
"Didn't those six people receive a reward from the emperor?
Chen Gong nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "What are their names? In addition to Liu Chong, they are Wang Yan, Lin Zhisheng, Li Qi, Tan Wentong and Mu Lin. ”
Hearing these names, everyone was taken aback at the same time!
Wang Yan, Lin Zhisheng, Li Qi...... Isn't this exactly the three victims of this case? Could it be that the case that happened in Xuandu this time is really related to the Western Expedition 30 years ago? Otherwise, why are three of the only six survivors killed one after another now?
Moreover, if the murderer's target is really the six survivors of the year, then it also means ...... Someone else will be killed......
"It seems that it is necessary to investigate the truth about the Western Expedition back then......" Xing Enming said slowly.
"Just leave this to me...... But Uncle Xing, we also need to find the whereabouts of Mu Lin and Tan Wentong as soon as possible, I think the next person to be killed will definitely be one of the two of them. "Tatsu Yu Heavenly Dao.
Xing Enming nodded and said, "Just leave this matter to me." But Yutian, how are you going to investigate the truth of the past? I'm afraid that even the Nine Dragons Pavilion may not have a record of this kind of military affairs!"
Xing Enming was very strange, although he knew that Chen Yutian had a small relationship with the emperor because of the relationship with Long Zun, but such a military event, the emperor might not agree to let him enter the secret library to find the file?
However, Chen Yutian only smiled incomprehensibly and did not speak.
Xing Enming couldn't figure out what he was thinking, but he also knew the heart of this nephew, so he didn't ask any more.
At this time, Ling Miaoyin suddenly spoke: "By the way, speaking of clues, we also found one here. And it has a direct relationship with the murderer. ”
"Oh?" Chen Gong looked at her suspiciously.
Ling Miaoyin pointed at Chen Yutian and said, "Before, Brother Xue and I took the ghost military order found from the scene, searched the blacksmith shops in the entire Xuandu City, and finally found the blacksmith shop that made this thing in the area of West City in the west of the city. According to the shopkeeper, the man who cast it was a man of medium stature who was seven feet tall in a long black cloak, and because his cloak was pulled low, the blacksmith did not see his face clearly. ”
As she spoke, she returned the ghost military order in her hand to Chen Yutian.
"A man of medium stature of seven feet tall and wearing a long black cloak......"
Chen Gong muttered to himself, while carefully looking at the bloody strip of cloth that Chen Yutian had just handed over to him in his hand, suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he stood up suddenly: "I remember, the fabric of this strip of cloth is the fabric used to make the cloak, it seems that the person seen by the shopkeeper of the blacksmith shop is the murderer!"
"Miss Ling, tomorrow I have to bother you to lead the way, my father wants to meet the blacksmith shopkeeper in person. Chen Gong said to Ling Miaoyin.
Ling Miaoyin nodded, "Okay." ”
"Since you have to go and investigate the clues of the blacksmith shop yourself, then I will go and track down the clues of the innkeeper who is familiar with Li Qi, I have a hunch that there will be an unexpected harvest tomorrow......" Chen Yutian also stood up.
"Then I'll look for the whereabouts of the remaining Mu Lin and Tan Wentong. Xing Enming also stood up, and then asked Chen Yutian, "But Yutian, if you go to follow the clue of the innkeeper, what will you do about the western expedition thirty years ago?"
Chen Yutian smiled incomprehensibly and said, "That matter, there are more suitable people to help." ”
......
At night, in the Fengyi Palace, the lights were on, and Xuan Xi was alone with the lights, holding a scroll of swordsmanship cheats in his hand, and was reading carefully.
Outside the palace, several guards in charge of patrolling looked at the beauties under the lights in the palace, and their faces were slightly strange.
"Hey, did you say that our princess has changed sex? not only did she not tease us at will like before, but she also held a book and read it at night, is this still the somewhat rude princess we know?"
"Who's to say it's not? I heard that since the princess returned to the palace, she went to the Hidden Dragon Palace and did not leave for a whole day. ”
"I don't know what His Highness was stimulated by outside, but it's not bad......"
......
The guards walked farther and farther away, and the voices grew farther and farther away.
Long Zun stood outside the Fengyi Palace, quietly looking at the clear shadow under the lights in the palace.
"It seems that it is not a bad thing to go out and see the world once in a while......" he smiled slightly.
After a trip out of the palace, Xuan Xi's biggest gain was not to see all the prosperity in the world, nor to see all kinds of fun and delicious things that were not available in the palace, her biggest gain was to see herself clearly and see her weakness.
Lingshui County, if it weren't for his weakness, how could he be easily taken away by the evil shadow?
Baishan County, if it weren't for his weakness, how could Senior Brother not let himself take action against those people in black?
So, the first thing you do when you return to the palace is to make yourself stronger.
Get stronger, get stronger...... became her biggest goal after returning to the palace.
So, she specially borrowed the secret of swordsmanship from her master. Study day and night, tirelessly.
"With this Nizi's unique talent, I'm afraid it won't be long before I can completely master this sword technique. Long Zun smiled slightly.
Suddenly, a pigeon landed on the desk of Xuan Xi reading in the dormitory from the outside.
"Huh?" Xuan Xi put down the cheats in his hand and glanced at the pigeon, this is the carrier pigeon she gave to Chen Yutian, flying here at this moment, it should be that the senior brother has something to ask himself to investigate.
Thinking about it, she took the letter from the pigeon's foot and opened the note inside.
After reading it, her face suddenly became solemn.
