Chapter 144: The Truth I Don't Want to Know
Zhu Yingying had often heard people mention earlier how powerful the red-clothed cannon was, and it could destroy the ancient decay and sweep the flesh and blood on the battlefield. She was so curious that she reached out and touched it here and there, and after walking around the red-clothed cannon, she actually put her hand into the hole in the barrel.
"It seems...... Something?"
She was curious to put her hand in, but she didn't expect to really touch something this touch. When I took it out, it was a small gray cloth bag.
"Could it be a martial arts heart method or some peerless sword spectrum?"
Zhu Yingying's eyes sparkled, and countless little stars appeared in an instant. I opened the cloth bag very carefully, and sure enough, there was a dilapidated booklet inside, and I couldn't see it clearly.
"Sure enough......"
Suppressing the sudden heartbeat, she carefully opened the book again, but her expression was instantly stunned.
The book in her hand was neither a martial arts mind nor a peerless sword book, but a symbol that she couldn't understand at all. So she held the scroll in her hand, turned back to the others, and said, "Look what I found in the turret? The words on it are twisted like tadpoles......
Xie Liuyun, who was on the side, took the scroll and looked at it, shook his head and spread his hands and said: "This seems to be a foreign language, but it's a pity that it knows me but I don't know it, so why sigh?"
Feng Lingxi also took it and looked at it, nodded and said, "Yes, this is a Western character." ”
"Huh!"
Zhu Yingying looked at her in surprise, "Master has seen Western characters?"
Feng Lingxi nodded in response: "I was fortunate enough to meet it once, but I don't know it...... Maritime trade has been allowed by the imperial court in recent years, and it is only natural that Western characters will flow into Middle-earth, but unfortunately many people do not know it. ”
"What is important to write in foreign language, if you are afraid of being seen, why do you want to stay?"
Zhu Yingying's heart became more and more strange, and she was more and more sure that there were terrible things recorded in it. was thinking about it, but when he turned around, he saw that Mo Langyue had already taken the scroll and studied it carefully. She was surprised, "Can you read Western characters?"
"My grandfather has traveled all over the world, and Lang Yue has only learned a little bit of skin!"
Mo Langyue closed the scroll as she spoke, her expression solemn as never before.
Although the scroll is written in Western characters, it is indeed something left by the Han Governor, and it is recorded that he cooperated with his late brother Han Wangchun to secretly raise money and materials for the King of Jin, and these three red-clothed cannons are one of them, but later the relationship broke down, and the red-clothed cannons were left.
Ten years ago, the Prince Jindan case involved several important ministers of the imperial court, in addition to Xiao Ge Lao and Lord Yun, there was also an inconspicuous and well-known Han Wangchun who was ignored by everyone. At that time, the Han family was also implicated, and the whole family was destroyed, and it was extremely miserable. A few years ago, the emperor personally ordered the rehabilitation of the Zhaoxue Jindan case, giving himself a reputation for being discerning and conforming to the way of heaven, but the details of the case itself were not recorded in detail. However, the former King of Jin is the current emperor, and the book records that the cronies of the former prince secretly corresponded with the King of Jin. If the matter is confirmed, whether it is the late Xiao Shiu, the former prince and his wife, and other officials involved in the case, they will all be just pawns in this conspiracy...... At this point, Mo Langyue figured out why the emperor at that time was so happy to rehabilitate the Xiao family?
"What is written?" Zhu Yingying asked a little anxiously when she saw that Mo Langyue was silent.
"Nothing!"
Mo Langyue paused slightly, and then casually threw the book aside without care, and turned to other things. Ten years have passed, many things can no longer be changed, and it is not meaningful to revisit the old things.
"No, your expression is not right, it can't be that there is nothing written on it? This is the realm of the Valley of the Dead, and the weapons and belongings piled up in this cave are strange in itself, these are definitely not things hidden by the imperial court, so who is hiding here, what do they want to do?"
Zhu Yingying was smart, seeing that his expression was wrong, and looking at the weapons and armor full of caves, as well as the powerful red-clothed cannon, a sense of crisis was faintly born in her heart.
Mo Langyue snorted lightly and said indifferently: "What else can you do with money and weapons, it's nothing more than to make another emperor sit in this world......
"Someone is going to rebel?"
Although her family was estranged, she was still shocked and overwhelmed when she heard that someone was going to rebel.
Mo Langyue looked at her, her eyes were cold and deep, "Who is the master and who is the servant in this world is actually not that important, who will care about the people of the world? Speaking of rebellion, who is not the emperor of the ancient world who is not the world of rebellion?"
"But...... It's important to me and I care about it. ”
Seeing such cold and indifferent eyes, Zhu Yingying's heart suddenly shook, her eyes instantly turned red, and her black and bright eyes were full of mist and almost couldn't help but gush out. It took her a long time to stabilize her emotions, her mouth curled and she pulled his sleeve pitifully, shaking it gently, "Although my uncle treats me badly, he is my only relative after all, and he has never treated me harshly for so many years, Yingying doesn't want him to have an accident...... If he feels that he still has a home in Yingying, if he is gone, Yingying will not even have a home...... Woowoo woo ......"
Zhu Yingying finally couldn't hold back, tears flowed out like decisive water, out of control.
"Huh, what's going on?"
Xie Liuyun didn't pay attention, and saw Zhu Yingying crying with tears in her eyes, and was about to go over to ask, but unexpectedly Feng Lingxi grabbed her clothes and shook her head at him.
"Uh, this...... The entrance to the cave must be in front, so we might as well look for it......"
Xie Liuyun led Feng Lingxi and turned into another cave, and only Mo Langyue and Zhu Yingying were left in this room.
The cave was quiet, whether it was Mo Langyue or Zhu Yingying, both of them were immersed in their own thoughts, and no one spoke for a while. Half an hour later, Mo Langyue was the first to come back to her senses, and saw that the county lord was still crying sadly, and her tearful expression looked aggrieved and helpless. He frowned slightly, he was upset just now and couldn't help himself, so he couldn't say anything. sighed lightly and said, "Now it's still peaceful, rest assured...... It's going to be fine. ”
"Woo woo woo ......" Zhu Yingying cried even more fiercely.
Mo Langyue was helpless, "You cry with your head down like this, how can I wipe your tears?"
"Woo woo woo ......"
Although Zhu Yingying was still crying, this time she slowly raised her head and looked at him with red eyes. Mo Langyue curled the corners of her lips helplessly and smiled faintly. While smiling, he gently wiped the tears from her cheeks.
"How can it be so easy to rebel? Regardless of success or failure, it is always the ordinary people who will suffer, and since they have encountered it, how can they sit idly by?"
"You're going to care?"
Zhu Yingying was stunned in her heart, stopped her tears in an instant, and looked at him with a blank eye.
Mo Langyue quickly pulled aside, "If you are willing to stay aside obediently and don't cry or make trouble, I will have a way to take care of this matter......"
"Okay, I don't cry or make trouble!"
Zhu Yingying nodded hurriedly, wiped away her tears and smiled at him.
"But what do you do alone?"
"Just look at it!"
Mo Langyue smiled slightly and didn't speak, turned around and carefully searched around the red-clothed cannon. This smile fell on Zhu Yingying's eyes like a pebble falling in the middle of a lake, causing layers of ripples. Although she still had countless questions in her heart, although she was frightened enough by his indifference just now, this warm smile made her gloomy and her heart filled with tenderness and sweetness.
"Okay, I'll wait for you!"
A moment later, Mo Langyue found several wooden boxes containing iron balls.
At this time, Xie Liuyun and Feng Lingxi also walked back in a hurry, obviously finding an exit. After seeing boxes of iron balls at this time, Xie Liuyun found a few large black jars out of nowhere in an instant, and moved them out excitedly.
"With fire oil, nothing could be more perfect than this. ”
"There's nothing more effective than this!"
"Hehe, if their hard work and ambition are ruined, will they cry to death?"
"No, they'll just go crazy......"
......
When the fire in the cave was ignited, the small valley outside boiled when the fire of the cave was led by the fire oil to spread outside the cave, and the fire rose to the sky.
The firelight completely illuminated the small valley outside the cave, and Mo Langyue and his party of four hid in the dark, and only then did they see the situation in the valley clearly.
