Chapter 1229: Different Paths (Part II)
Cha Tai Yun ...... Cha Taiyun ......" Seeing Sun Yun's sudden daze, Qi Xueyin kept shouting on the side.
However, Sun Yun seemed to have forgotten God, immersed in that "weird" memory, and couldn't extricate himself for a long time.
"Cha Taiyun - hey!" Finally, Qi Xueyin suddenly shouted, and Sun Yun was "woken up".
"Uh...... What's wrong?" Sun Yun didn't know what was going on, and asked in a stunned voice.
"You still ask me what's wrong?——" Qi Xueyin retorted, and suddenly asked in surprise, "What do you think, don't say a word, like a stupid melon......"
"I didn't ...... It's nothing ......" Breaking free from the "weird", Sun Yun shook his head and continued to ask, "Then what, what did you encounter?......
"Then the imperial court troops intervened, and Bu Tianxing and I 'broke up unhappily'......" Qi Xueyin raised his hand and leaned his head behind him, and said casually, "After that, I secretly inquired, it turned out that those troops were supporting your father, and said that the war in Xicang was urgent, so I secretly followed while recuperating from my injuries...... Immediately after last night, I met the people of the 'Mingfu Sect' near the 'Narrow Pass', and when I heard that they were going to attack your father's camp, I secretly followed it and learned that your father had broken through the siege, and then I went to the 'Zhongsandao' in time today to save Uncle Chatai......"
"So you ...... now Is the injury okay?" Seeing that Qi Xueyin had been running around for so many days, being injured and rescued, and had fought several dangerous duels with the enemy, Sun Yun couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, of course...... It's not good-" But Qi Xueyin pretended to be "willful" and complained loudly, "I fought with you in the palace first, but I couldn't beat you in a few days and ran to the street to fight with Bu Tianxing, and I ran here to fight with He Xunyi in a few days...... In the past 20 days, I have either fought with this or that, and the injuries on my body are purple and purple, and people are about to die of exhaustion-" ridiculed in her complaint, Qi Xueyin scratched her head, and her expression looked very disdainful.
"That's really 'hard' for you, you can stay in the camp and rest well these days......" Sun Yun originally wanted to joke, but it was really not easy to see Qi Xueyin's "rush" these days, plus it was her father who saved her in danger, Sun Yun still restrained his tone and thanked the other party from the bottom of his heart.
"I've said so much about things, what about you?" Qi Xueyin rubbed her shoulders and asked Sun Yun in turn.
"Me?" Sun Yun said to himself before he could react.
"That's right......" Qi Xueyin said with both hands, "I heard Uncle Chatai say that you were originally in the army to take care of you, but later you left the camp because of what kind of case you were investigating, and as a result, the people of the 'Mingfu Sect' took advantage of this gap to sneak attack the camp......"
"Hmm......" Sun Yun seemed to be thinking about something, and was silent for a long time.
"What, is there anything inconvenient to tell me?" Seeing that Sun Yun seemed to be hiding his thoughts, and was silent for a long time, Qi Xueyin couldn't help but ask.
"On the contrary......" Sun Yun suddenly opened his eyes and said cautiously, "I'm wondering if I should tell you all the 'inside stories'—"
"Tell me the inside story......" Qi Xueyin couldn't understand Sun Yun's words for a while, and asked with a blank expression.
"Because of some speculation behind it, I didn't even tell my father about ......" Sun Yun said with a serious expression, "But these things may be something you must know for Xueyin......
"What the hell is it?...... so mysterious," Qi Xueyin continued.
"This matter has to start from the beginning......" Sun Yun sorted out his thoughts and said slowly, "My father should have told you, how did I come to the barracks?"
"Ah, did you say ......it," Qi Xueyin held his chin and said, "Uncle Chatai was originally ordered by the imperial court to go to the Xicang area to support, but in the 'Narrow Pass' encountered the ambush of the 'Mingfu Sect', fortunately, you appeared in time when you were in danger and saved your father, so you were saved from disaster, just like I ......did today" Qi Xueyin did not forget to "boast" of his own merits in the end.
"However, before that, I came here after receiving the holy secret decree from the imperial court general in the palace, and then everything has to start from here......" Sun Yun's expression calmed down, and he said seriously, "My father's military order to support Xicang was issued by Lord Li Miao of Tianjing Mansion, and my father rushed to the 'Narrow Ziguan' as soon as possible, but he was ambushed by the 'Mingfu Sect' and was recognized...... There are two doubts here—first, how did the Mingfu people know that my father would pass by and set up an ambush in advance, and second, how did they recognize my father's identity? It's as if the people of the 'Mingfu Sect' knew this secret from the beginning......"
"You mean to say that someone leaked intelligence secrets?......" Qi Xueyin was smart by nature, and she guessed the "suspicious point" at once, and whispered.
"Lord Li Miao's military order was issued, and my father acted as soon as possible, and the people of the 'Ming Fu Sect' had to prepare, it was too late to ......" Sun Yun's eyes froze, and he couldn't help but speak: "There is only one possibility-before Lord Li Miao's order, they knew the news!"
"You mean, Li Miao is colluding with the people of the 'Mingfu Sect'?" Qi Xueyin asked first, and then she was puzzled, "It doesn't make sense, Li Miaogui is an official of the imperial court, and the 'Mingfu Sect' is nothing but the wild clan of the rivers and lakes, and they are in cahoots, what can Li Miao want?"
"I couldn't figure out this doubt before...... Sun Yun continued, "But what happened next, on the night I saved my father, Lord Li Miao was assassinated by a plot in his own mansion——"
"Are you afraid of leaking the news and killing it?......" Qi Xueyin thought of the key for the first time, and whispered, "And it is the court officials who are killed, and the forces behind the murderer cannot be underestimated...... Wait a minute, you just said that you left the barracks because of the investigation, do you mean?"
"That's right, it's the case of Lord Li Miao's murder—" Sun Yun responded calmly, "and it was ordered by the boss to be forcibly transferred out of ......"
"Who is the order from above-" Qi Xueyin's expression became more and more serious, and she continued to ask deeply.
"Lord You Fangyou, the squire of the military department!" Sun Yun continued, "But it doesn't matter who it is, the key is that the front foot of my departure, the back foot of the 'Ming Fu Sect' launched a surprise attack on our army camp, and the target is directly aimed at my father——"
"Just like the first time, the target is Uncle Chatai, but this time I used you as a ...... to fiddle with," Qi Xueyin followed up and analyzed, "The man behind the scenes knows your tracks well, and can also influence your actions...... I have a hunch that Lord You Fang probably doesn't look like the mastermind, just like the murdered Lord Li Miao......"
"And this time, because of your intervention in Xueyin, their plan to murder my father and the king has failed again, so ......" Sun Yun showed a cold look in his eyes and said in a reluctant.
"So it's very likely that that the squire of the military department will also follow in the footsteps of Lord Li and be assassinated...... Qi Xueyin also sat down and said in a deep voice, "If you don't do it in the next few days, you will get the news that he was killed......
"Before that, my father and I had a terrible story...... Sun Yun continued to say in a chilling tone, "The busy Wuchatuo who received the secret edict in the palace is a 'criminal ex-criminal' who forged the holy decree, and was demoted to the rank of commoner a few years ago because of my father's protection, he escaped the crime, and was demoted to the ...... of the common people."
"It means that it is impossible for him to secretly transmit the emperor's holy decree as an official of the imperial court, so you received a secret edict in the palace to support your father...... it must be fake," Qi Xueyin continued to guess, "But if you dare to risk being punished by the Nine Clans and continue to fake the holy decree, the power behind him must be unimaginable——"
"This is what my father told me, but the clues I investigated in Tianjing Mansion made me even more unbelievable......" Sun Yun's tone was still tight, and he continued to be shocked, "The murderer who plotted to kill Lord Li Miao turned out to be a person from the 'Canghuan Sect'——"
"What are you talking about, Canghuan Sect ?!——" Sure enough, hearing this, Qi Xueyin couldn't help but show a frightened look, and Zhenzhen asked, "Are you sure...... Are they the ones who did it?——"
"Broken darts, you won't recognize such a thing......" As soon as the words fell, Sun Yun took out the "evidence" extracted from the crime scene today from his sleeve and said rigorously.
Qi Xueyin saw it carefully, it was indeed the secret weapon of the "Canghuan Sect", the "Broken Flower Dart", and couldn't help but exclaim: "In this way, the murderer who killed Lord Li Miao is really ...... However, what is the relationship between the 'Canghuan Sect' and the 'Mingfu Sect'?"
"Maybe it's to deal with me......," Sun Yun said suddenly.
"What did you say?" Qi Xueyin didn't react for a while, and turned her head to ask.
"Generally speaking, all the events revolve around one thing in common, that is, I-" Sun Yun boldly guessed, "The murderer of Lord Li Miao behind the scenes is indeed the gang of the 'Canghuan Sect', if it is to deal with me, assassinating me and my father with the hands of the 'Mingfu Sect', then it can be explained......
"But according to the current situation, it seems that they are more inclined to deal with your father-for you, at most, they are only luring you elsewhere, but Uncle Chatai has encountered life and death crises again and again......" Qi Xueyin also felt that the matter was becoming more and more serious and strange, and secretly muttered.
"The above speculation is limited to what my father and I know......" Sun Yun closed his eyes slightly, then opened his eyes and said seriously, "But what I'm going to tell you next is something that even my father doesn't know——"
"Forehead ......" Qi Xueyin looked at Sun Yun's serious gaze, and couldn't help but be a little cautious.
"When I was in the Chatai Palace, as far as your senior brother knows, he found the secret weapon of the 'Canghuan Sect' earlier than us...... Flower darts—" Sun Yun said coldly.
"What, is this true?!——" Qi Xueyin heard this, and said with a surprised expression, "There are also traces of the 'Canghuan Sect' in the Chatai Palace, when was it?"
"When we just came back from Luozhuang, your senior brother saw ......," Sun Yun continued, "Chatai Kortai had a slight deal with an inexplicable masked woman, and that woman injured the palace guards with a 'broken flower dart'......"
"Woman...... Could it be ?——" Qi Xueyin had almost guessed the identity of that woman.
"Ziyou......" Sun Yun replied, "and then in the next few months, your senior brother will continue to find out that Chatai Kortai has 'dealings' with inexplicable people from the outside world......"
"You mean to say that the people of Chatai Kortai and the 'Canghuan Sect'...... Is there fornication?" Qi Xueyin asked in exclamation.
"That's right, it's almost certain," Sun Yun said affirmatively, "It is precisely because of this that I dare not tell my father about this, for fear that he will have many concerns in the army......"
"But why did you suddenly mention this?" Qi Xueyin continued to ask.
"I thought about it carefully, I was like someone pinching my hands and playing with it, I first received a 'false holy decree' in the palace, and then ran back and forth between the military land and the Tianjing Mansion...... "The murderer behind the scenes not only knows my movements well, but also can control the officials and ministers in the court, so he must have too many secrets in his hands...... If all of this is because that guy from Chatai Kortai joined forces with the 'Canghuan Sect' and used the involvement between me, the court officials, and the 'Mingfu Sect' behind the scenes to achieve their ulterior motives, then ......."
"I can understand dealing with you......" However, before Sun Yun finished speaking, he said suspiciously on the side, "But after these 'troubles', it is your father who suffers the most-no matter how insidious he is in Chatai Kortai, what reason does he have to plot against his father?"
"That's right, I don't understand the key to it...... Sun Yun also felt that there was a slight contradiction in it, and lowered his head and said secretly, "Who is it, who is plotting against my father, what is the real purpose of the 'Canghuan Sect'......"
"But no matter what, Chatai Kortai is indeed not a good thing, from the first time I saw him, ......" Thinking of Chatai Kortai's "style", Qi Xueyin said on the side, "Now think about it, when I had a conflict with you in the palace, it was still the ...... he instigated at the beginning."
"Hmph, if that beast dares to mess around, I will never let him go!" At the mention of Chatai Kortai, Sun Yun couldn't help but be angry, and said with a hammer fist, "The Imperial City of Dadu is in trouble, and he actually watched his seriously ill father and king on the battlefield, but he was as indifferent as a nobody...... If something really happens to my father in this war, I won't be the first to spare him!"
However, after talking for a long time, Qi Xueyin seemed to think of a "terrible" place, half lying on the couch and silent for a long time, her eyes suddenly became attentive, and her tone was slightly low: "Eh, I have an unrealistic idea, I don't know if you have ever had this kind of suspicion......"
"Huh?" Hearing Qi Xueyin say this, Sun Yun's tone changed slightly.
"I'm wondering, could it be that the 'Canghuan Sect' is not the real culprit behind the whole thing......," Qi Xueyin whispered, "Maybe they, like the 'Ming Fu Sect', have also become pawns in someone's hands......"
When Sun Yun heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned......
