Chapter 825: The Dusty Past (Part II)
"The secret ...... two years ago" Su Jia seemed to vaguely remember something, but she couldn't remember it, looking at Lu Jing's expression was a little too serious, Su Jia said with a little uneasiness, "What the hell is it...... What's the secret?"
"Jia'er, two years ago...... Do you know any secrets?" Xiao Tian couldn't help but ask on the side. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"But I'm ...... I can't remember it for a while, but it seems like there's something ...... Important Things...... But there is no way to talk about it......" Su Jia stroked her forehead, the uneasiness in her heart became more and more intense, and she continued to ask Lu Jing, "Sister Jing, what do you want to ask...... What's the secret?"
"It's the ...... that has been sealed in the dust for two years" Lu Jing's eyes were certain, and then he spit out the words, "The secret ...... of the kendo conference"
When Su Jia heard this, she looked stunned.
"Sword ...... ...... of kendo tournament Secret!" Xiao Tian listened to it and couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
"That's right-" Lu Jing continued, "Although the incident of two years ago has passed a long time, if you mention it again, I think anyone present back then will still have lingering palpitations......
"Two years ago, the kendo conference was organized by the Mengyuan court, which was hostile to the martial arts, and used the Nangong family's "Heavenly Demon Divine Skill" as a lure to attract major celebrities in the rivers and lakes to come to ......," Tang Zhan followed and said, "At that time, we had already found something strange - it stands to reason that the Mengyuan Dynasty was turbulent and unstable back then, but the Bianliang Prime Minister's Mansion still took a great risk, and inexplicably invited the four major sects in the rivers and lakes to come to Bianliang to test the meeting with a sword...... Perhaps from the perspective of martial arts people, everyone came here to see the record of "Heavenly Demon Divine Skill", but what about the Mengyuan Imperial Court...... However, no one could find this secret two years ago, except for Miss Su, you ......"
Su Jia was silent on the side, gradually recalling the past two years ago.
"Hey, Jia'er, you're really...... Do you know?" Xiao Tian also showed an incredulous expression and asked Su Jiadao.
Su Jia nodded silently, but her expression was slightly uneasy, as if she remembered what happened two years ago, and she still had palpitations.
"Sure enough, Jing'er, you guessed ......" Seeing Su Jia nodding in approval, Tang Zhan muttered.
Su Jia thought for a while, and then asked softly: "Sister Jing, I have to say that you are indeed very smart, but how do you know that I will know the secret of the kendo conference two years ago? After that incident two years ago, I planned to keep this secret in the dust for the rest of my life......
Lu Jing's eyes gradually slowed, and she said unhurriedly: "Two years ago, on the eve of the kendo conference, Sister Su, in order to find Chen Shijin's whereabouts, you worked hard and found the clues of the Bianliang military machine, so you broke into the Prime Minister's Mansion at night alone......
Xiao Tian listened silently on the side, and his heart was full of emotion - he would never forget that night, Su Jia "drugged" himself before leaving, but in the end, it was a reluctant affectionate kiss......
Su Jia didn't say anything, just listened calmly - maybe things are wrong, the past two years ago has now become an inconsequential memory in her opinion.
But Lu Jing doesn't think so...... Lu Jing slowed down and continued: "Two years ago, Sister Su, you broke into the Prime Minister's Mansion at night, and finally found the whereabouts of Chen Shijin, but by accident, you found another shocking secret, that is, ......"
"The secret ...... of the kendo conference" Su Jia simply answered this time.
"Sure enough......" Lu Jing confirmed her conjecture and muttered in a condensed voice.
"Really, Jia'er?" Xiao Tian was on the side, but he made a more surprised expression, and couldn't help asking, "Two years ago, you really knew ...... The secret of the kendo tournament?"
"That's right, Sister Jing is not bad at all......," Su Jia said calmly, "Two years ago, I broke into the Prime Minister's Mansion at night, and came to the library in the Prime Minister's Mansion that once contained important military affairs...... But Sister Jing, how can you be so sure that I found this secret two years ago?"
"Because Wang Dasheng ......," Lu Jing continued, "Back then, Wang Dasheng wanted to put Sister Su to death at all costs, and there must be another reason for this...... In addition, that time was also a critical period for the Kendo Conference, if the secret was leaked out, especially if it was known to the four major martial arts sects who came to see it, it would inevitably cause unpredictable risk consequences to the Mengyuan Imperial Court...... Therefore, after the events of that night, the imperial court forces led by Wang Dasheng continued to increase the order and supervision of the kendo conference on the one hand, and on the other hand, they blocked and guarded the whole city to find out the whereabouts of Sister Su, who knew this secret......"
"Wang Dasheng was ...... It's for this ......" Xiao Tian listened on the sidelines, looking slightly surprised.
"Well, I know this very well, after all, Wang Dasheng said it in front of me......" Su Jia did not deny that when he once faced off with Wang Dasheng, Wang Dasheng told himself about it.
"Do you remember the riot of the Nangong family?" Lu Jing continued, "At that time, Wang Dasheng sent his subordinates to 'smash the field' and kill the disciples of the Kongtong faction for no reason, which seemed to be a deterrent to our Han people with the pressure of the imperial court, but in fact, Wang Dasheng did this to lure Sister Su to come out......"
"Citation...... Seduce me?" Su Jia gradually remembered the "riot" that occurred in the Nangong compound the next day.
"Because Wang Dasheng thinks that as a decent martial arts Sister Su, it is impossible ......for you to ignore such a brutal act," Lu Jing continued, "Since you were still in Bianliang at that time, and you used the powerful and terrifying 'Soul Breaking Sword Technique' in front of Wang Dasheng, and the news of 'Jianghu Bo' was so sealed at that time, once Sister Su came out, Wang Dasheng would definitely recognize you as soon as possible......
"Yes, I was also worried about it at the time...... Su Jia covered her forehead and recalled with a little discomfort, "Fortunately, my sister-in-law stepped forward at that time, otherwise I was the one who came out that day to 'uphold justice' ......"
"Jia'er ......" Knowing all this, Xiao Tian seemed to understand something, recalling the experience of confronting Wang Dasheng in Xiaojia Villa, Xiao Tian couldn't help muttering, "No wonder, Wang Dasheng would do whatever it takes to desperately hunt down and kill Jia'er, you ......"
"But Wang Dasheng is dead, and now it's just ...... to mention it again" Su Jia calmed down her tangled heart and said silently.
"So, Miss Su, do you really know...... The secret of the kendo tournament?" Tang Zhan continued.
Su Jia nodded in default.
"In that case, why didn't you say it two years ago?" Xiao Tian was puzzled, "I hid the secret by myself, but I was hunted down by Wang Dasheng and encountered countless dangers...... If you had made the secret public two years ago......"
"Sister Su, she can't do this-" Before the words fell, Lu Jing said righteously on the side, "She wanted to make this shocking secret public to the world, but because of the situation at that time, it was ......"
"Because at that time, I couldn't ...... It should be said that you can't tell this secret...... Su Jia said calmly, "Especially in the middle of the kendo conference, if this secret is leaked at that time, don't think about leaving Bianliang alive if you see the four major sects of the kendo conference in Bianliang...... Wang Dasheng also grasped my psychology back then, so while stepping up the search for me, he was not worried that I would leak the secret......"
"What the hell is that?, the secret from two years ago, should be able to be told now......" Tang Zhan asked curiously.
Not only Tang Zhan, but also Lu Jing and Xiao Tian, everyone very much wanted to know the secret mystery that had been sealed for two years. Especially Lu Jing, she could feel in her dark that all the "doubts" that happened this day were inseparable from the secret of the kendo conference two years ago......
"Okay, anyway, after so much time, Bianliang City has been broken, and it's just a matter of ...... to say it," Su Jia muttered in a low voice, "When the kendo conference ended and left Bianliang, I felt that the secret didn't cause unpredictable consequences in the end, so I didn't tell anyone later...... Now you want to know, and it doesn't hurt for me to say it......"
So, Su Jia slowly narrated that two years ago, the entire martial arts wanted to know but to no avail, the secret of the kendo conference......
Bianliang Chengguan, a military camp on the outskirts......
At the end of the Battle of Bianliang, the Ming army took the most important military pass in Henan, and basically completed the second of the three-step strategy of "crusading against Mengyuan". During the period of recuperation and rectification of the army, Zhu Yuanzhang drove the expedition in person, sat in the camp, and continued to consult the military strategy of the war and strategize......
"Take Shandong first, leave it behind, spin Henan, cut off its wings......" Zhu Yuanzhang sat alone in the camp, looking at the territory of the world, and muttered to himself, "The two are finished, that is, they are pulled out of the Tong Pass and guarded, according to their household thresholds...... But before that, there is another place - Luoyang ......"
As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were fixed on the "Luoyang" on the map, and his expression was uncertain......
"The last general will see the emperor-" As he spoke, Chang Yuchun's voice came from outside the tent.
"How is it, is the military and civilian situation in Bianliang good now?" It seems that Zhu Yuanzhang has already made arrangements, and in the past two days, he has been ordered to supervise the vanguard military headquarters and settle the city.
"Back to the emperor, everything is fine, all the military units are safe and do their duty, do not harass the people in the city, and cooperate with Yuan Chong, the former prefect of Bianliang, to actively rectify the law and order in the city-" Chang Yuchun 1510 said.
"That's good......" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, then seemed to think of something, and continued to ask, "By the way, how is the situation in the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked, his eyes slightly mysterious.
"There is no definite news yet......," Chang Yuchun replied, "The eyeliner hasn't come back yet, maybe it's a bottleneck, and it's not convenient for a while...... But please rest assured, the emperor will definitely return after a few days—"
"Okay, good ......" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said to himself silently, "I hope there will be no more mistakes in this...... What I'm worried about now is that the vanguard army is there, if Lu Jing discovers something......" Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be hiding and worrying about something, and he was wary of Lu Jing, who was now in Bianliang.
"That's right, the emperor ......" After a moment's hesitation, Chang Yuchun continued, "Just now there was news from Mo Tianxing, the head of the Wind Chasing Sect, he said that his disciples are all ready, and they can accompany our army to the expedition at any time-"
"Mo Tianxing, is it, the action ......is quite fast," Zhu Yuanzhang muttered, thought for a while, and continued, "Mo Tianxing has a relationship with me, and in order to crusade against Chen Shijin, a traitorous disciple in Tongguan, he sent a disciple to help our army...... However, this matter is not in a hurry first, go back and tell Mo Tianxing that before the crusade against Tongguan, our army must first take Luoyang and other places...... When the battle in Luoyang is over, Henan is all under our army, and then we plan to advance westward, I will personally inform him-"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the last general will go and inform you-" After Chang Yuchun finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Leaving Zhu Yuanzhang alone, observing the situation in the world.
"Shandong, Henan, Tongguan established...... The success of hegemony is close at hand, and the world is mine after all......" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the territory of the Central Plains and said excitedly in his heart......
In Bianliang City, the Xiangfu Compound ......
"This ...... It's the secret of the kendo tournament back then......" Su Jia explained the secret of two years ago to everyone, and said with a slightly low expression, "Now it seems that maybe it's just that...... But at the time, it was true that half a cent could not be leaked......"
"Indeed...... So ......" Xiao Tian, who knew the truth, seemed to have not recovered from his surprise, and said in a sluggish tone.
"I can only say that when I discovered this secret, Miss Su, you should have been purely accidental......" Tang Zhan couldn't help but say.
"Hmm......" Su Jia nodded by default.
Lu Jing seemed to be thinking about something, and stood aside silently.
"The secret seemed amazing at the time, but it's like that now...... So, what's the use of knowing this secret now?" Xiao Tian couldn't help but ask.
"It's nothing, it's just that I happened to find a suspicious point in this prime minister's mansion, just ask......" Lu Jing seemed to have intentions, and then smiled and said, "Anyway, the fool and I have already helped you inspect the army, if Brother Xiao, you and Sister Su are fine, you can go back to Senior Gao." After all, it's hard to come back, and our army will leave again in two days, so cherish the time here......"
"Eh, Jing'er, it's not ......" However, when Tang Zhan heard this, he seemed to think that Lu Jing had neglected something important, his expression was slightly surprised, and he wanted to ask rhetorically.
But one step ahead, Lu Jing made a gesture and deliberately blocked Tang Zhan's mouth, as if he had no other intentions, and continued to preemptively say: "If it's okay, you and Sister Su will go back first, just leave the rest of the matter here to me and the fool-"
Xiao Tian naturally didn't notice Lu Jing's "strange behavior", stretched out his aching arm and said, "Okay, my whole body is injured, and I don't want to move for the time being, I want to go back now and sleep comfortably...... Let's go, Jia'er, let's go find the little green girl—"
Su Jia nodded, didn't say anything, turned around and followed Xiao Tian, and left the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion......
Xiao Tian and Su Jia left for a long time, and Tang Zhan and Lu Jing continued to stay in the courtyard......
"Jing'er, why ......" Thinking of the scene just now, Tang Zhan couldn't help asking, "Why don't you tell Brother Xiao and Miss Su about He Yifan, speaking of He Yifan, Brother Xiao should be familiar with it, right?"
"I don't want to startle the snake......" Lu Jing simply replied.
"What?" Tang Zhan didn't understand for a while, and continued to ask.
"I have a guess that there is a ...... in connection with He Yifan, as well as the Kendo Conference two years ago, and even the current battle in Bianliang," Lu Jing said inexplicably.
"What conjecture?" Tang Zhan asked again.
"I'm not sure, I just have this hunch......" Lu Jing shook her head, and then said with a firm look in her eyes, "It's still worse to confirm whether this conjecture is right or wrong...... I have a plan, a plan to know the truth of all this, but it's best not to let too many people know about this matter, the less the better, even Sister Su and Brother Xiao are ......"
"Is it ......" Tang Zhan couldn't understand what Lu Jing was saying, but looking at Lu Jing's such a firm look, he knew that he knew it in his heart, so he didn't ask again, but silently agreed.
"If that's the case, then ......" Lu Jing's eyes froze, and the conjecture in her heart seemed to become more and more firm...... (To be continued.) )
