"This ......" Fu Jue stared at the scroll, his eyes widening wider and wider.

This is a documentary painting, the painting is a little old, but it can still be seen clearly. The painting depicts the grand scene when the Ichthyosaurus was established, the first emperor led several princes and grandsons, and a group of ministers to announce the establishment of the Ichthyosaurus Guard at the head of the palace, and cultivated the Ichthyosaurus Guard into the most powerful armed force of the Great Middle Dynasty. Fu Jue stared, and could vaguely see that behind the emperor in the dragon robe at the head of the city, there seemed to be a thin figure, also wearing the uniform of the fish dragon guard, just at this glance, his heart couldn't help but tremble.

"Is this my mother?" Fu Jie's hands trembled slightly, and he carefully looked at every character and every inch of brushstrokes on the painting, but there was no more gain.

"Ahem, this ...... Fu Shaoxia, there is a saying, Xu doesn't know whether to talk about it or not?" Xu Xian suddenly asked with a smile.

Fu Jue put away the scroll with some disappointment and said, "I've asked everything, I can talk if I want to." ”

Xu Xian smiled: "Fu Shaoxia, I am a few years older than you, although my ability is not as good as yours, but I have some life experience, seeing that you are so distressed about this matter, I still can't help but want to say something." According to what you said, the identity of your parents is a secret, and if it may even involve chaos, then you can take it if you can...... A lot of people, just to find some 'truth', put their lives into it, you are still young, there is no need to ......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Fu Jue raise his eyebrows and stare at Xu Xian, with an expression of "Do you think I might listen", Xu Xian could only spread his hands helplessly: "If you don't listen, forget it, I'm just an errand runner anyway, just say a few words casually." ”

"No, you have a point. Fu Jue stretched out his hand and patted Xu Xian's shoulder and said, "I also know that with my current status and status, in-depth investigation of these things will inevitably lead to some unexpected troubles." I want to find out the secrets of my background more safely, unless I am already in a high position. But I don't want to be here in this life, and I don't really want to become a member of the imperial court, I just want to go away and live my chic life after investigating this matter, so brother, you can trouble you to get involved with me. ”

Xu Xian sighed when he heard this, and said helplessly: "Then what can I do? My boss asked me to follow you, then I will follow you." ”

Fu Jue laughed twice, and suddenly asked curiously, "Eh, seriously, why did you become a bookless little brother?"

Xu Xian thought for a while and said: "Miss Ning has a smart brain, super talent, and can teach me martial arts, you see, after I got mixed with her, the progress in martial arts is not a little bit, and in the past, I had a meal but not a meal, what kind of bad life did I live? ”

Fu Jue nodded, with a smile in his eyes: "Not bad, yes, without a book, with a smart little brother like you, it will be much easier." Brother Xu, I see that your martial arts talent is really good, since I want you to venture into danger with me, why don't I teach you a few more tricks, let's get this matter done as soon as possible and leave this Jinling City as soon as possible. ”

"That's a good dare!" Xu Xian stood up abruptly and slapped the table hard, very excited.

At the same time, Li was stunned in the house.

In the hut, Li was lying on the bed, coughing a few times from time to time. Compared with a few months ago, he looked a little older, his already thin face became thinner, his gray hair was much drier, and even his eyes, which were as sharp as eagles, were a little cloudy.

Next to his bed, Li Xuanyun knelt on the ground, with a stubborn expression, and said: "Master, I really don't know, why did you let Fu Jie, that traitor, live in peace? He wanted to probe the secrets of Yulongwei every three days, and the people below didn't know what to do with him...... I really don't understand!"

Li Jingyun didn't look at Li Xuanyun, just looked at the ceiling and said, "Fu Jue's identity is special, he can't die." If he dies, it will involve an even bigger mess. I'm old, Qidong fights, it will take me a lot of time to recover, if Fu Du dies, I can't suppress the scene......"

When Li Xuanyun heard this, he was even more puzzled, he narrowed his eyes and asked, "Master, I don't understand. Although you are injured, you are still the banner of the Fish Dragon Guard, and you are also the mainstay of the entire imperial court, not to mention, there are also Uncle Yuan Hao and Uncle Tianlong in charge, even if he is dead, what can he do if he attracts his group of fox friends and dog friends to take revenge?"

Li sighed and said lightly, "Yun'er, you are wrong. One night in Qi Dong, Lin Mobai's appearance almost made me determine Fu Jie's identity, and behind him, there was a big secret. Whether it is Lin Mobai or Leng Qianqiu, they are just strong people in the rivers and lakes, I can't kill them, and there are always people who can kill them. But what I'm really afraid of is ......."

Speaking of this, Li Jingyun coughed heavily again, and Li Hangyun hurriedly got up and went to the side of the bed to pat Li Jingzheng for a while. After a while, Li Jingzhen coughed up a mouthful of thick phlegm, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Yun'er, Fu Jue has been probing some of my secrets many years ago more and more frequently, I'm afraid he realized something...... You don't have to stop him, someone will do it. But you need to pass a word to him for me......"

Li Hangyun was very helpless, but he didn't dare to refute the master, so he could only suppress his dissatisfaction and nodded.

A few blocks away, there is another house, this house is not big, but it belongs to a second-grade member of the current dynasty - Zhongshu Provincial Governor, Ning Liang.

This official position is the same size as Ning Liang's previous official position as a local political envoy, and it is really rare for an official like him to be knocked from a second-grade to a prefect of a county, and then immediately promoted to the governor of Zhongshu Province. After the first battle of Qidong, Ning Liang just finished reettling the people of Qidong, and received a holy decree from the capital, and the efforts of Wang Hua's officials finally paid off, although the current emperor is cowardly and incompetent, but the scene of Cao Fushan's dominance still makes the emperor vigilant, and Wang Hua's officials blow the wind day and night, so they gritted their teeth and pulled Ning Liang up.

That night, Ning Liang was still handling political affairs in his study as before. In fact, in the current Zhongshu Province, there is not much more than him, and there is no one less than him, and the so-called political affairs do not need him much. What he really needs to deal with is the party dispute with Cao Fushan and his family. Cao Fushan is narrow-minded, and he is almost ruthless to officials who disagree with him, and Ning Liang was so he tried to get Qi Dong in the first place. In this process, many loyal people have been framed, so Ning Liang's main job now is to protect them.

Just as he was rubbing his brow and thinking, there was a knock on the door. Ning Liang called "enter", and the door was pushed open, and the person who walked in was Ruan Songyu.

After Qi Dong overnight, Ruan Songyu decided to come to Beijing with Ning Liang, Ruan Songyu was not only superb in swordsmanship, what he learned most under Fang Qingmen was not swordsmanship, but ink learning. The Mohist family, as a thousand years ago, was enough to compete with Confucianism, and it was a very advanced and advanced knowledge.

"Mr. Ruan," Ning Liang's eyes lit up and he stopped the pen in his hand, "Please come in and sit down." ”

It is precisely because of the wisdom shown by Ruan Songyu that Ning Liang's title to Ruan Songyu has changed from the original young man to the current "sir".

Ruan Songyu bowed, sat down at the desk, and said with a wry smile on his tired face: "Lord Ning, I didn't expect that after coming to the capital, I would be so busy all of a sudden, and let me practice martial arts for many years, I can't support it." ”

Ning Liang laughed, stroked his beard and said, "Thank you for your hard work." Originally, some of the people under the official lost their asylum after the official lost power, and they were demoted one after another, and now although the official has returned, it will take some time for them to return, and during this time, they will have to trouble Mr. Ruan a lot. ”

"In fact, these are small things, it is my pursuit to be able to benefit the people of the world, and there is no ...... if you are tired and tired," Ruan Songyu said with a smile, "What's more, during this time, I found that there are also some people I know in the DPRK, and they are also a big force, and they may be able to win over." ”

"Oh?" Ning Liang's eyes lit up, "Which officials are they?"

Ruan Songyu smiled slightly, counted a few names, Ning Liang heard it in his ears, his eyes became brighter and brighter: "Mr. Ruan, why are you ......" However, Ruan Songyu just smiled and didn't say much. Most of these people are people who were born in the Lingjing Sect and hid their identities to become officials in the court, these people are the same as Ruan Songyu, martial arts is not the primary goal they learn in the door, learning is.

Because of this, there are actually many disciples of the Spirit Mirror Sect in the imperial court, and Ruan Songyu has met several such officials after coming to Jinling for a few months. Some of these officials are not firm, but with the relationship between the same disciples, they can be regarded as able to attract many people from the Ning Liang and Wang Hua departments.

Ning Liang saw that Ruan Songyu was reluctant to say, so he didn't ask. He could faintly feel that in the five years that his daughter Ning Wushu had disappeared, she had a very powerful background, and she could find young people like Ruan Songyu, as well as Ouyang Tianhui, Lan Sumei, and Lin Qian, all of whom were rare young talents in the world, but just a letter of help, she summoned several people...... Ning Liang knew that there was a secret here, just like the secret behind Lin Mobai at the beginning, but he wouldn't ask too much, he believed that when the time came, he would understand.

Speaking of this, Ruan Songyu's face sank again, and said, "However, during this time, I also saw a person named Jiang Mobai, who is a member of the Fish Dragon Guard, but he is also my old acquaintance. He found ...... Something out of the ordinary. ”

When Ning Liang heard this, his eyebrows were also raised, he never thought that Ruan Songyu even knew the people in the Yulong Guard, he had never heard of this Jiang Mobai, he didn't think it was a thousand households, and he didn't know what position it was, so he quietly listened to Ruan Songyu say.

Ruan Songyu pondered for a moment and said: "This Jiang Mobai is the head of the Twenty Dark Fish Guards who were directly ordered by Li Jingsting, in the past, Li Jingzhen mainly asked him to be responsible for secretly protecting the Shengshang by the side of the Shengshang, but recently, Li Jingzhen ordered him to start tracking a person. Jiang Mobai knew that this person was related to us, so he told me......"

Ning Liang was taken aback and interrupted: "Li Jingzhen's henchman, when he saw you, he directly told you the task that Li Jingzhen had entrusted to him?

Ruan Songyu shook his head and said, "To be honest, I don't believe it either, but Jiang Mobai didn't say much, only reminded me of one word." He said that Fu Jue had been doing some dangerous things recently, and Li Jingzhen was very worried, and if we could speak, we would let him stop. ”

"Fu Jie, he is doing something dangerous, Li Jingzhen is very worried...... Ning Liang stood up suddenly, his face changed, his right hand clenched into a fist, and he slammed it on the table: "Oh no!"

Ruan Songyu was puzzled, but before he could ask, Ning Liang cast a far-reaching gaze and said, "This matter has nothing to do with the grievances between Li Jingyu and me. Fu Jue is not only a friend of Wushu, but also has a special identity, if he explores his life experience too deeply, the consequences are unimaginable! Strange, it was he who asked Wushu to pass the word to the official in the first place, it was because he was afraid of causing chaos, why is it now...... No, Mr. Ruan, you have to find a way to contact Leng Qianqiu's forces, we can't start from the Ming place, but we must stop Fu Jie, the Great Middle and North Korea can't afford another turmoil......"

Ruan Songyu was still confused: "Is this matter more important than party struggle?"

Ning Liang sighed deeply, closed his eyes, and said, "This matter ...... More important than anything else. ”

At this time, Fu Jue and Xu Xian had just finished their plans and were ready to travel at night.

Xu Xian put on a night suit and said to Fu: "I'll go to explore the road first, and you will come later." Fu Jue nodded, waved his hand, and saw Xu Xian disappear as a light wind.

The night sky is deep, with stars and no moon. Fu never knew where to take out a small box and put it on the table, opened it gently, and saw a thin page of paper lying inside, with words written crookedly on it. The handwriting of these words was very confusing, and they couldn't be read at all, it was like words written with his feet, but Fu Jue solemnly picked up the paper and read it carefully over and over again.

This page was copied from the original roster. In order to prevent the content from leaking out, he specially used a special handwriting to transcribe, which not many people can understand.

"Mother, I don't ask for much, I just want to know, how did you die......" Fu Jie's face was expressionless, but his words revealed a deep sadness, "You left a word, let me not pursue it, but I can't let go." Growing up without a father or mother, and being despised by others, I developed a skill, for nothing else, just to figure out how it all happened. Mother, don't worry, I won't let the world mess up, I won't let your fish dragon guard disappear, as long as I find the answer, I will wander the world and never ask about the world again. ”

"Mother, I really want to know, the one who didn't dare to put his surname in front of my name, the one who deceived you and abandoned you, the one who led everything to the point where it is today, the one who ...... Who is the one who killed you?"

Fu Jue took a few deep breaths, and his chest rose and fell violently. Soon, however, he calmed down, sealed the page back in the box with his steady hands, hid it again, and slowly put on his night clothes.

Outside the window, there was a night crow whining.
