Old...... Seven, I almost immediately remembered a person, Liu Wan'er, the flower-aged girl who was assassinated in front of me. Before she died, she mentioned a person, the Seventh Master!

My heart immediately jumped wildly, the seventh and the seventh master, what connection will there be between them?

"Pointing directly to the embroidered messenger Yan Qixing to meet His Majesty. "The voice was young and slightly magnetic, very beautiful.

The embroidery department is the exclusive of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, the department of the inspector ministers and nobles, if there is a major event, you can also listen to the emperor at any time, the leader is called the embroidery messenger, the power is very great, and can do this position, most of them are the emperor's favorite ministers, and the subordinates are collectively referred to as the embroidered messengers. (I think it is similar to the East Factory and West Factory of the Ming Dynasty.) Another note: This is purely apocryphal, in the later period of Emperor Wu, there was a famous favorite minister Jiang Chong, who became this official, and even plotted to frame Prince Wei. Before that, the embroidered messenger did not find any information. ）

"How are things going?" the Emperor asked.

Yan Qixing said: "The minister has found out that Dan Xinqi is in the counties of the Han Dynasty, and there are seven secret assembly places in each county and county. ”

I guess it's the name of some kind of organization.

Then there was the sound of a "whooshing" book, apparently the emperor was flipping through Yan Qixing's book.

Yan Qixing said: "Most of the names of the leaders of the Danxinqi have been recorded, but the owner of the Danxinqi is extremely mysterious and never appears easily, so the ministers have not yet found their people. ”

I am almost certain that the Dan Xinqi they are talking about must be Zhao Min's anti-Han organization, presumably these days, the emperor's plan to capture and indulge in the past has been very effective, but Zhao Min is dangerous.

I only heard the emperor ask: "Is this person hiding so deeply? I can't find the slightest trace of spiders." ”

Yan Qixing said: "The minister is incompetent and ineffective, please ask Your Majesty to surrender." ”

"I will not condemn your sin, as long as you find out the person who is the mastermind, I must remove this hidden danger that endangers the Han Dynasty, so that I can concentrate on dealing with the Huns. The Emperor said in a deep voice.

Yan Qixing said: "Please let your majesty tolerate the minister for a while longer, and the minister will definitely find out the truth about this person as soon as possible." ”

The emperor groaned for a moment, and suddenly asked a question that was not related to the wind and horses: "Seven elements, which seven lines are in your name?"

Yan Qixing was stunned for a moment, and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, the meaning of the seven elements is not to do wrong, not to comply, not to perform danger, not to exceed the square, to think twice, to sit and act, and to do what you say." ”

The emperor smiled and said, "You are good at the Seven Elements, I am convinced that you will live up to the words of the Seven Elements, and you will do what you say!" I am waiting for your good news. ”

Yan Qixing said: "The minister will live up to His Majesty's trust." ”

There was a sudden silence outside, and after a while, I heard the emperor's slow voice rise again: "That matter, how did you investigate?"

Cut, hiding behind the curtain, I pouted: The emperor has a lot to investigate, what kind of three-headed and six-armed figure is this Yan Qixing? I really couldn't help but look out a little and quickly retracted, just one glance, the faces of the emperor and the forbidden army were clearly seen, but Yan Qixing only saw a back, dressed in black, tall and straight.

I don't know if he is the seventh master in Liu Wan'er's mouth.

Yan Qixing said: "This person's life history is a mystery, but his actions are above board and fair, and there is nothing to disdain, but the minister visited this person's mansion a few months ago and found a strange object, which should have been presented early in the morning, but was delayed due to the investigation of the anti-thief, please forgive your majesty." ”

Yan Qixing didn't know what kind of ancient monster piece Yan Qixing showed to the emperor, and there was silence outside. I couldn't help but want to look again, but was suddenly interrupted by the emperor's words: "What is this? Who is this?"

Yan Qixing said: "The minister found this thing in this person's house, and he didn't know what it was or who it was, but there were no less than a dozen of the same thing. And does Your Majesty look at that portrait like a person?"

It turned out that Yan Qixing presented a portrait to the emperor, and the portrait was a portrait, so what was there to make such a fuss about?

The emperor was silent, but the forbidden army next to him shouted softly: "It seems to be ...... It seems that Huo Shao will look like when he grows up. ”

Hearing this, my head exploded with a "boom", Huo Shao? is the name of Huo Qu's illness in the palace.

That one...... It's Xiao Jian's portrait, and the emperor actually secretly sent someone to check on me!

A chill rose from the soles of his feet: This Emperor Wu of Han is too terrifying.

Anger abruptly arose from the heart: Liu Che, you are still endless?

Worries followed, Xiao Jian's portrait was painted on 21st century paper, which was not owned by this dynasty, and this was a big trouble. But what's even more troublesome is that how do I explain Xiao Jian's portrait to the emperor?

This Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is also insidious, quiet on the surface, putting on a non-in-depth appearance, but secretly doing such a despicable and shameless ugly thing to spy on other people's privacy. In the final analysis, it was my mistake, he was the emperor, it was Liu Che, his personality was already smart and stoic, he was the kind of person who would never give up until he reached his goal, how could he be at ease if he didn't solve the mysteries of my life experience?

God is pitiful, let me bump into this matter tonight, I can plan well in advance, otherwise the emperor will suddenly ask, I am afraid that I will be at a loss again and will be speechless.

As soon as the forbidden army's words came out, the hall fell silent again, and a slight tense atmosphere was permeated.

Oh no, the emperor wouldn't think that the portrait was Xiao Huo.

I don't know how long it took before the emperor asked, "What about Hetian Jade?"

My heart was in my throat, and I listened attentively.

Yan Qixing said: "The envoy ordered the embroidered messenger to search for it all over the country, but there is no family that can recognize his relatives by Hetian Yu. ”

"She's cheating on me again!" the emperor slammed the table, and there was a great tendency for mountains and rains to come. "Seven lines, keep an eye on her for me, and every word and deed must be honored. ”

I closed my eyes: I couldn't live this day.

Yan Qixing asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to eradicate the seven secret assembly places of the thieves as soon as possible?"

The emperor said decisively: "No, it is not appropriate to startle the snake at present, and wait until the owner of the thief is found, and then handle it together." ”

This is the end of the secret talks.

After the three of them left the side hall, I didn't hesitate any longer, took off my night clothes, took off the veil, revealed a beautiful uniform of a female officer, and then took out the female officer's hat from my arms and put it on. (This uniform was approved by the emperor, and I improved it, and it is no longer cumbersome at the beginning, with narrow shoulders, short sleeves, and a corseted waist, simple and easy, especially the beautiful female official hat, which is delicate and beautiful, can be folded and folded, and adds three points of heroism after wearing it, Liu Che also likes it when he sees it, and is ready to promote it in the palace.) How did he know that I was acting for cheap, Khan!) followed Yan Qixing from afar, and on the way, he met a palace maid, borrowed a yarn lamp from her, and sped up his pace and swaggered straight to Xisimamen.

The forbidden army greeted Yan Qixing from afar, and I was stunned when I saw me following closely behind: "Lord Liu, why did you leave the palace so late?"

I said lightly: "It's not for the sake of developing weapons, but before I know it, it's almost late at night." ”

The forbidden army said flatteringly: "My lord is hard. ”

I turned to Yan Qixing: "I haven't asked this adult for his noble name, Liu Dan seems to have never seen an adult." ”

Looking at him in the light, he is about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and his appearance is handsome and elegant, comparable to Fuyong, but he lacks Fuyong's out-of-the-world style, which adds a bit of harshness and indifference.

Yan Qixing glanced at me, didn't squeak, but the forbidden army said earnestly: "This is Lord Yan Qixing, the messenger of embroidered clothes, Lord Yan, this is Lord Liu Dan, the former imperial chief of Weiyang Palace, who is deeply appreciated by His Majesty." ”

I don't know how much higher Yan Qixing is than me in terms of position, but I, the former imperial chief, everyone knows that I am red and purple in front of the emperor, and the forbidden army is afraid that Yan Qixing will disdain me, so I will explain it specially.

Yan Qixing smiled lightly, sparsely polite: "It turned out to be Lord Liu, who has admired his name for a long time." ”

I thought about it for a moment and said, "I haven't been riding in a carriage today, can I ask Lord Yan to take me for a while?"

Yan Qixing refused: "This official went to the Embroidery Department, I'm afraid it won't be the same way." ”

"Same road, how different roads, I'm going back to the military academy for something, and I'm tired of adults. With that, I took the lead in walking to the special car of the embroidered messenger embroidered with the "Flying Eagle" logo parked outside.

Yan Qixing had no choice but to follow.

Sitting in the car, I paid special attention to his left hand, Zhao Min once said that the left hand of the "Seventh Master" was missing two fingers, but his sleeves were long and wide, and he couldn't see it at all.

So I didn't have anything to say: "After being in the court for so long, it's the first time I've seen Lord Yan, isn't Lord Yan usually in Chang'an?"

Yan Qixing didn't speak.

I didn't give up and asked again: "Lord Yan, as the messenger of Zhizhi embroidered clothes, must be very good at swordsmanship, I also know a little bit about it, how about asking the Lord for a few tricks another day?"

Yan Qixing was still silent.

I couldn't help but get angry and said, "Lord Yan doesn't speak, do you look down on Liu Dan, the little imperial chief?"

Yan Qixing simply closed his eyes.

My heart was on fire, of course, because of his arrogance and rudeness, but also because of the unbearable anxiety in my heart.

Is Yan Qixing the "Seventh Master"? If so, Hetian Yu's whereabouts should fall on him, but this guy is a stone, and water and fire do not invade, so why don't I be impatient?

Coldly stimulated him: "Lord Yan has seven lines in his name, I don't know which seven lines?"

Yan Qixing did not move, and by the light of the dim palace lamp, he faintly saw his eyelids jump.

I snorted, this guy was embarrassed, there was no need to be polite to him, and said: "Let me guess below, it should be insubordinary, unsubstantial, dangerous, treacherous, like a dog, a walking corpse, and a ......."

The faster I speak, the more poisonous I become, and I don't believe that you Yan Qixing can still bear it. Sure enough, Yan Qixing opened his eyes and glared at me sharply: "Lord Liu, where did this official offend you?"

I pursed my lips and said angrily: "Why, I don't think it's good? Talking to you in a good voice, I will tell you what kind of stinky rack I put on and pretend to be cool, and I will tell you, don't look at my little imperial chief, I am really not afraid of you, a messenger who does not know what is called the direct finger embroidery." There is a kind of getting out of the car and comparing with me, heroes and bears, let's see the real chapter under our fists and feet. ”

Anyway, without waiting for him to react, he picked up the curtain and flew out of the car, and waited to fight you, and still couldn't see your fingers?

Changed to an ordinary man, in the face of such a provocation, he must be furious and fight to the death, but this Yan Qixing ......

I stood there dumbfounded, staring at ...... Yan Qixing's carriage ignored it and walked away.

I @#¥%×&......

How can this be reasonable, I am angry with me!

Quickly turned back to Weiyang Palace, grabbed the forbidden army guarding the door and asked, "Let me ask you, is that Yan bastard's left hand missing two fingers?"

The forbidden army was caught off guard by my unusual behavior: "Who is the Lord talking about?"

"Yan Qixing, that bastard!" I yelled.

The forbidden army said inexplicably: "No, how can you lose two fingers? ”

A turbid breath came up, accompanied by anger, and he was dizzy.

Ran to Wei Qing's mansion overnight and dragged Wei Qing out of the bed, Wei Qing was sleepy and ignorant, and thought for a long time before saying: "His left hand often wears five strange iron finger covers, but that is his alien weapon, called the iron hand." As for whether two fingers are missing, I don't know. ”

Wei Qing's eyes widened suddenly, and his sleepiness disappeared: "You, do you suspect that he is the seventh master?"

I let out a sigh of relief, nodded, and told me how I went to the palace to hunt for treasures tonight. Then asked: "Can you help me check this person, his background, home address, six relatives, and places he frequents, the more detailed the better." ”

Wei Qing pondered for a moment and said, "The first few items can be found in the directory of officials in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I will help you check the latter item." ”

"It's important that I want to know where to find him," I said. After thinking about it, he instructed: "This matter should not be publicized, Zhongqing, you must also be careful, and don't let people find out...... Forget it," I suddenly changed my mind again, "you better not meddle in this matter, I'll figure it out myself." ”

Without further ado, I turned and walked away.

It's for his good not to let Wei Qing interfere, after all, I'm just a passerby, and he has to live here all his life, if he accidentally lets the emperor know that he also participates in my affairs, I'm afraid that my good future will be ruined. He has helped me so much that I can't continue to be so selfish.

What's more, Yan Qixing, his eight achievements are the "seventh master" that Liu Wan'er said before she died. If this is the case, then the Hetian jade must have fallen into the hands of the emperor through him, then Yan Qixing is not important, what matters is how to get back the jade from the emperor.

But first, it is necessary to make sure that Yan Qixing is the "Seventh Master", or both, and at the same time find a way to start from the emperor.

After returning to the mansion, I went to see Xiao Huo first, and after he recovered, he still lived in my house for a few days from time to time, and I set up a special room for him next to the bedroom, which was warm and comfortable, so that he could come to stay at any time.

Xiao Huo had already fallen asleep, his face was flushed, but his brows were tightly locked, and he didn't know what to worry about. Raising his hand to smooth his tightly knit brows, Xiao Huo woke up excitedly, sat up and shouted, "Master?" looked up at the window. "So late?"

"Well, sleep. I said.

Xiao Huo obediently lay down and helped him cover the quilt, he flashed his eyes and asked, "Master, aren't you happy?"

I nodded and said, "I encountered a bad thing today, it sucks. ”

Xiao Huo frowned, thought about it seriously, and said, "Why don't you sing a song to the master, after listening to it, the master's mood will be better." ”

I smiled dumbly and said, "Okay, Xiao Huo sing, Master, listen." ”

Xiao Huo coughed slightly, and opened his mouth to sing softly and slowly in a childish voice, it was the song "Red Sun" that I often sang to him.

"Fate is a displacement

Fate is twisted and bizarre

Even if fate threatens you, it's not interesting to be a human being

Don't shed tears and be sad, and don't give up

I would like to be with you forever for the rest of my life

......

Walking together on a thousand mountains will surely be able to step on ......"

I smiled and listened to him sing this inspirational song repeatedly, and my anxious heart gradually calmed down, and I began to think about how to use to check Yan Qixing, to deal with the emperor, and then if the emperor asked about the portrait, how to deal with it?

After thinking about it for a long time, I didn't have a clue, and when I looked at it again, Xiao Huo actually fell asleep singing.

I walked out the door lightly, and unexpectedly saw Fu Yong standing in the courtyard, looking at me thoughtfully.

I asked, "Looking for me?" and he let out an "um". So the two walked into the study.

My study is furnished with cabinets, tables, couches and chairs, but there are no seats, and everyone can wear shoes to enter, which is very convenient. After coming to ancient times for so long, the most headache was kneeling and sitting, and my legs were paralyzed after sitting for less than ten minutes each time, which made my head as big as a bucket when I saw the mat. So my house had no seats, and even the living room was filled with high-backed chairs made by carpenters according to my design.

As soon as he sat down, Fu Yong said, "You often go out in the middle of the night, and your clothes and whereabouts are strange, but why?"

I was stunned and asked, "Did you see that?"

"Yes. He said.

I glared at him dissatisfied: "I don't sleep well in the middle of the night, what do you look at?"

Fu Yong didn't care about my badness, and said with a faint smile: "I'm just worried about you." ”

I looked at him, as if it was true, and unconsciously reviewed my attitude, and said, "It's just a little something, you don't have to worry." ”

Fu Yong's following words made the little guilt I just had disappear.

He said, "I'm worried about your body. ”

I said angrily: "My body is as strong as an ox, what is there to worry about?"

Fu Yong said: "You have transfused too much blood for Xiao Huo, and I am worried that it will have an impact on your body's ability." ”

"Did you find anything wrong?" I asked sensitively.

Fu Yong shook his head.

His expression told me that something must be wrong. But this person's temper, if he refuses to speak, he will kill him and want him to speak, so I still don't waste time and saliva, when it's time to speak, he will naturally say.

I said, "You're all right, I have a question for you." For example...... It's just that, for example, I want to get something, but such a thing is in the hands of another person, is there any way for this person to obediently give this thing to me?"

Fu Yong thought for a long time, and said slowly: "If you want to take it, you must give it first......

I frowned, this is a solution, but the emperor is rich all over the world, what to give?

I only heard Fu Yong say: "There is a way to give it, and you can do what it likes." ”

I am even more worried, the emperor likes too much, he wants to completely wipe out the Huns, then I have to afford it; he wants to live forever, he is completely whimsical; he likes women...... This is a solution, there is one ready-made, that is, I am under me, but I don't want to give it.

What else can you do what you like?

Lying on the bed, I turned over and over to think of a strategy, the most direct way is to give myself to him, but no, it's not that the baby chastity, but I can't pass my own psychological level, and I will have a serious sense of guilt when I sleep with a man I don't love, no, absolutely not! Don't even think about killing the Huns, it seems that I can only make a fuss about immortality.

Otherwise, lie to him again?

I fell asleep in a daze.

Early the next morning, the chamberlain Lu Guang came to deliver the edict: "Your Majesty orders you to enter the palace quickly." ”

It must be for Xiao Jian's portrait.

Oh no, last night Jing Gu thought about how to get back to Hetian Yu, and he didn't think about the countermeasures for this matter at all. But because I knew it in advance, I wasn't too scared, and I just had to adapt to it when the time came. Anyway, I've told more than one lie, so it's a big deal to make it more beautiful.

In the Xuanshu Palace, the emperor's face was blue, no worse than me, it is estimated that yesterday was the sleepless night agreed by everyone, but his expression was surprisingly calm.

"Come and see. "He sat on his throne and beckoned to me.

I leaned over to look at the imperial case, and in the portrait, Xiao Jian smiled at me.

I feigned surprise and asked, "This ...... How is this in the hands of His Majesty?"

The Emperor gave me a sideways look and said, "What is this?"

I pretended to be relaxed and said, "Oh, this is paper, when we were in the Western Regions, we all used it to write and write, just like the Han Dynasty's calligraphy. ”

"Almost?" a smile appeared on the Emperor's lips, a little cold.

yes, it's about the same, it's too much. I hurriedly said, "What the minister means is that its purpose is similar to that of the book, but in terms of quality and convenience, the booklet is far worse than it." ”

The emperor finally couldn't help but sneered and said: "Liu Dan, why is it that in your mouth, the Western Regions are richer than my Han Dynasty and ahead in everything? If it is really as good as you say, why do you have to go back thousands of miles to my Han Dynasty to recognize what ancestors and what sects?"

I said aggrievedly: "Originally, the minister didn't want to come back, but he had to come back because of his mother's legacy." ”

The emperor stared at the portrait, his eyes shining strangely, and asked in a deep voice, "Who is in the painting?"

Without hesitation, I replied, "Father." ”

The Emperor was stunned, probably never imagined that my answer would be like this. A trace of anger flew up his eyebrows, and his voice became more and more gloomy: "Liu Dan, if your words today are not full of untruths and deliberately deceive me, even if I am reluctant, I will never spare you." ”

I left the imperial case, bowed respectfully to the emperor and said: "No matter what Your Majesty asks the minister today, the minister will definitely tell the truth, if there is any untruth, may the minister die without a place to be buried." ”

The ancients had the heaviest sacrifice, and "there is no place to bury the dead" can be said to be one of the most poisonous and heavy oaths. According to me, the most chic funeral is the sea burial, in the blue sea and clear waves, there is no concern about coming and going. So it doesn't matter to me that there is no place to die.

The emperor was very satisfied with my "sincere" attitude, so he said: "Okay, I have three unanswered questions, one is that I have searched all over the country with the matter of recognizing and returning to my ancestors with Hetian jade, and there has never been a family as you say, I want to know, what is the purpose of your coming to the Han Dynasty? Second: What secrets are hidden in Hetian jade? Third: Why do you refuse to enter the palace even if you die? Today you must give me a reasonable explanation, not to prevaricate, not to be ambiguous, and not to make deception and deceive me, I only want your truth. ”

Okay, since I became an official, the emperor and I have been fighting every now and then for these problems, not to mention the emperor, even I am really fed up, it is better to let the original lie roll a few times, roll out a big snowball, smash you dizzy, and you can't believe it.

I decided to make up a perfect lie and put an end to it!
