Chapter 27: Questions and Answers (Part II)
The next day, the Netherworld Valley Lord and Yang Zhan Murong Yunzhen gathered again, and the Netherworld Q&A began again. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
"Yesterday you answered my questions in detail, and today I will answer your questions. The Netherworld Lord said.
"Thank you, Lord Valley. Yang Zhan then replied.
"May I ask the valley master, where is the divine doctor Baicao Weng now?" Murong Yunzhen immediately asked the question he was most concerned about.
"Baicao Weng is in Zhuhai Baili Creek, which can be reached in three or five days to the north. The Netherworld Lord replied simply.
Murong Yun was really overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked the Lord of the Netherworld Valley. The Netherworld Valley Lord was a little embarrassed, because he had made some preparations, but he didn't expect that everyone would only ask one question, and then there would be no follow-up.
"Is this the end?" said the Netherworld Lord with some disappointment.
"It's over, it's over. Murong Yun smiled innocently.
"Haha, it is as difficult for the world to enter this Netherworld Valley, and the Netherworld Valley knows everything about the world, but you don't cherish the opportunity to ask questions and answers?" said the Netherworld Valley Lord a little strangely.
"The juniors still have something to ask. Yang Zhan said after a moment of silence.
"Yang Shaoxia, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it. The Netherworld Lord said cheerfully.
"When Fang Wanli, the squire of the military department, was killed, he also asked the valley master to teach him. Yang Zhan said with a serious expression.
"After the Jingkang Change, the four generals of Zhongxing went on the Northern Expedition and won many successes, among which the Ministry of War and other ministers of the main war made great contributions, and all the important positions and merits were received by them, and the squeezed peace faction was very jealous. Said slowly.
Yang Zhan nodded, and Murong Yunzhen and Qu Rufeng listened attentively.
"With Gaozong's southern crossing, the four generals of Zhongxing are old and old, and the dead are dead, and the Northern Expedition will be ancient. Once there is no war, the main battle faction will not be able to reuse, and under the elimination of the other's strengths, the peace faction will rise, and then start to suppress and squeeze out the main war faction. Fang Wanli, the squire of the military department, said bluntly, and naturally he was the thorn in the side of the peace faction. So Wan Qiandu and the other members of the peace faction began to fabricate the accusation that Fang Wanli was plotting against the enemy on the Internet, and the following year, Fang Wanli's family died in the suburbs of Lin'an. The Netherworld Lord said.
Yang Zhan was red-faced and angry when he heard this. Murong Yunzhen and Qu Rufeng looked at Yang Zhan in surprise, maybe the eldest brother was jealous and hateful by nature, and it was difficult to hide his anger when he heard that Zhongliang was killed. When I think about it like this, it suddenly dawns.
"Then who was involved at that time?" Yang Zhan asked again.
At that time, Fang Wanli was just one of the victims of the main battle faction, and the rest of the victims were also very many, all of whom were planned by Na Wan and Tang Siwei, and then the forbidden army sent troops to arrest and strangle them. The Netherworld Lord said.
"Apart from the two traitors, Wan Qiwei and Tang Siwei, who else is involved in this matter?" Yang Zhan asked eagerly.
"Yang Shaoxia, this is a coup d'Γ©tat, how many people are involved, and how can they be listed one by one?" replied helplessly.
Yang Zhan was a little dissatisfied.
In addition to the masterminds Wan Qiaoxuan and Tang Siwei, Zhang Xingcan was responsible for colluding with the golden envoys, and the leader of the infantry army, Shan Tinggui, led a 300-hundred-foot army to besiege the Shilang Mansion. These are the ones who take the lead. The Netherworld Lord said.
Yang Zhan slapped the table hard. Everyone was amazed, and the Lord of the Netherworld Valley was even more stunned.
"My eldest brother is as jealous as hatred, and when he learns that Zhongliang was killed, he will inevitably be angry, please forgive me!" Murong Yun really saw that the atmosphere was embarrassing, and hurriedly came out to apologize.
"Haha, I think Yang Shaoxia is not just jealous and hateful, right?" said the Netherworld Valley Lord after staring at Yang Zhan carefully.
"Below is the grandson of Fang Wanli, the squire of the Ministry of War. Yang Zhan said silently.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was surprised. Murong Yunzhen and Qu Rufeng looked at Yang Zhan even more smackedly.
"It turns out that Yang Shaoxia is loyal and good, and it is difficult to be so angry. The Netherworld Lord said with relief.
"My grandfather's family was killed, and my parents were also implicated in death, but fortunately, I was rescued by good people, and I Yang Zhan survived. Speaking of this, Yang Zhan swallowed his words.
"I also feel the same way that my eldest brother has suffered such a misfortune. Murong Yunzhen stepped forward and comforted.
Yang Zhan then held Murong Yunzhen's hand tightly and expressed his gratitude.
"Because Fang Wanli's expectations are very high and he has a famous festival, although the forbidden army went to 300 people, they all responded passively. Then the dead soldiers of the rivers and lakes participated in the strangulation, and the peace faction quickly got rid of Fang Wanli. The Netherworld Lord said.
"Who is the dead man in the rivers and lakes?" Yang Zhan asked urgently.
"It is rumored that a total of eleven people were involved in this matter, all of whom were good at martial arts, but they were acting in secret, and their names and origins are unknown. The Netherworld Lord said.
Yang Zhan couldn't help but be disappointed.
"Big brother, don't be sad, as the saying goes, evil is rewarded, these people frame Zhongliang, and they will not die well. Murong Yunzhen persuaded.
"But there are five people I can be sure of. The Netherworld Lord said slowly.
"Which five people?" Yang Zhan asked anxiously.
Xu Fenghou and Liu Yonghui died on the day Fang Wanli's case was concluded, Han Chen and Xiao Lengyi mysteriously disappeared three days later, and later found that they were killed in the wilderness, and Ma Chongguang was also killed outside the Saiwai almost at the same time, following in the footsteps of the above four. These five people were all in their prime, and they died in just half a month, which is very strange. And in connection with the time of Fang Wanli's case, it can almost be concluded that they are among the eleven dead soldiers. The Netherworld Lord recalled.
"Can the valley lord tell me the origin of these people?" asked Yang Zhan.
"These people are all lone rangers without sects, even if they know, I'm afraid Yang Shaoxia won't be able to find anything. The Netherworld Lord said helplessly.
"It seems that this matter is very well planned, and not even a single clue can be left. Murong Yunzhen also said helplessly.
"This is the imperial court, and it has always done its best. The Netherworld Valley Lord said lightly.
"Can the valley lord tell me the details of other rangers who became famous more than twenty years ago?" Yang Zhan asked again.
"Haha, Yang Shaoxia is thoughtful, this is indeed a good way. Even if I tell you the list of rangers who became famous more than twenty years ago, but the rivers and lakes are so big, I'm afraid there are at least thousands, how can you find out them all?" replied the Lord of Netherworld.
Yang Zhan knew that what the Netherworld Valley Lord said was true, so he had to give up.
"In fact, it is not too difficult to investigate this matter, the imperial court has always recorded political affairs, as long as you start from the imperial court, you will definitely gain something. β
"Thank you Lord Valley for your suggestion. Yang Zhan said gratefully.
"Of course, more than 20 years have passed since the incident, and most of the people involved in this matter must have passed away, so if you want to find out about this matter, it seems that you have to have some luck. The Netherworld Lord said lightly at the moment.
Yang Zhan nodded silently.
"Is there anything else Yang Shaoxia has to ask besides this?" said the Netherworld Valley Lord.
Yang Zhan pondered for a moment, then shook his head.
"That's the end of today's Nether Q&A. The Netherworld Lord said proudly.
Everyone thanked the valley master, and then they each planned to leave. Unexpectedly, a crisp call came from the back hall: "Brother Yang." β
Everyone looked over, but saw a woman in white walking in Yunyun, as elegant as a hibiscus out of the water, extremely beautiful, it was the snow shadow.
The Netherworld Valley Lord was taken aback and looked at Yang Zhan in surprise.
"Daddy," Snow Shadow called to the Lord of Netherworld.
The Netherworld Valley Lord didn't seem to be very happy, and simply replied and asked, "Shadow, why did you get here?"
"I'll send one to Brother Yang. Snow Shadow said sadly.
The Lord of Netherworld Valley then looked at his daughter, and then at Yang Zhan, completely unable to figure out how the two met.
Murong Yunzhen was very happy with Qu Rufeng, thinking that this valley lord's daughter was extraordinary, and she was a good match for Yang Zhan.
"Valley Master, I still have something I want to ask you. Murong Yunzhen said immediately.
"But today's Nether Q&A is over. The Netherworld Lord said impatiently.
Where is the Lord of the Netherworld Valley impatient, he saw that his daughter and Yang Zhan had an unusual relationship, and he had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
"What I want to ask today is a question that has never been heard of before or since, but I am afraid that the valley master may not have heard of it. Murong Yunzhen suddenly sold Guan Zi and said.
"Nonsense, the Netherworld Valley knows all about the world, as long as it is among the five elements, how can there be anything I don't know?" said the Netherworld Valley Lord unconvinced.
So Murong Yunzhen pulled the valley master to speak, and hinted that the others would wait out. Murong Yunzhen's move is naturally to create a good condition for the eldest brother, it is really a good plan road to cultivate in the open, and Chen Cang in the dark.
Yang Zhan, Xue Ying, and Qu Rufeng then withdrew from the hall.
"Brother Yang, are you really leaving?" said Xue Ying in a faint voice.
"Yes, Snow Shadow Girl, Ling Zun has already told us the whereabouts of the Divine Doctor. We're going to help this girl detoxify and heal right away. Yang Zhan said sincerely.
Xue Ying couldn't help but look at Qu Rufeng, and sighed in her heart that the beauty was like this, and after a while, she turned around to hide her face and cry. Yang Zhan didn't understand why Xue Ying was crying, but remembered that his adoptive mother said that once a person cried, he was sad and sad.
"Snow Shadow girl, please don't be sad. Yang Zhan stepped forward and comforted.
Xue Ying then put away her tears, nodded at Yang Zhan, and then said, "Miss Qu is beautiful, and she is really unparalleled in the world. β
Qu Rufeng was in the fog of this praise, obviously saying goodbye to Yang Zhan, how could he suddenly praise himself?
The Snow Shadow girl praised it. Qu Rufeng stepped forward and grabbed Snow Shadow's hand and said softly: "The Snow Shadow girl is naturally beautiful, beautiful and refined, I thought it was a fairy when I first saw you." β
Qu Rufeng's praise is not against his heart at all, he is from the bottom of his heart. It's just that Snow Shadow couldn't be happy, Qu Rufeng praised it, and secretly hurt himself.
Qu Rufeng knew that Snow Shadow was sad, but he didn't understand why she was sad, was it just because Yang Zhan was leaving the Netherworld Valley? If so, wouldn't it be okay to let Yang Zhan bring Snow Shadow? But before Qu Rufeng could say it, Snow Shadow spoke first.
"Miss Qu is empathetic, Brother Yang should cherish it. Snow Shadow said shyly.
As soon as these words came out, Qu Rufeng and Yang Zhan were suddenly embarrassed, and hurriedly shook their heads and shook their hands, as if a thousand were reluctant.
"Snow Shadow Girl, you must have misunderstood, Brother Yang is Yun Zhen's brother-in-law. Qu Rufeng was in a hurry, but he didn't know what he said, and he didn't know how to explain it.
"Miss Qu is my second brother's red face. Yang Zhan said with a red face.
Xue Ying looked at Qu Rufeng in surprise, then at Yang Zhan in surprise, and then at the scholars in the room who were talking to the Lord of the Netherworld Valley, still not believing what they said. It wasn't until Yang Zhan and Qu Rufeng nodded again and again that Snow Shadow believed it. Suddenly, Snow Shadow's embarrassed cheeks turned crimson, and then she burst into laughter.
"Big brother is still alone. Qu Rufeng's words seemed to be provocative and encouraging, and Xue Ying was full of joy when he heard it.
"Brother Yang is a humble gentleman, how can he be alone?" said Snow Shadow to herself.
"You better ask him about this. Qu Rufeng said and stepped aside.
"I just misunderstood Brother Yang and Miss Qu, I hope you can forgive me. Snow Shadow said softly to Yang Zhan.
"Haha, it's okay, it's okay. Yang Zhan said with a hearty smile.
"Miss Qu said that Brother Yang is alone......" Xue Ying said that she couldn't say any more, and when she looked at her again, her face was already red and transparent.
"I, Yang Zhan, have been lonely and helpless since I was a child, but fortunately, I married Jin Lan with my second brother, so I can be regarded as having a relative. Yang Zhan said with emotion.
"Brother Yang is arrogant, and he is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, why didn't he find a good girl to accompany him?" said Xue Ying, his voice already extremely subtle. Although it was embarrassing, this was a question she cared about, and no matter how embarrassing it was, she had to endure it and say it.
"Maybe this is fate, right?" Yang Zhan said lightly.
"Isn't it true that Brother Yang has never met such a person?" asked Snow Shadow despite the burning on his face, but still mustered up the courage. But as soon as he finished asking, in addition to his face being hotter, his heart had already jumped involuntarily.
"Yes. Yang Zhan looked at the snow shadow and said.
Snow Shadow suddenly felt that her heart was beating even more violently, as if she was about to fly out. Snow Shadow forcibly suppressed her excitement, just waiting for Yang Zhan to tell her the result she expected.
But Yang Zhan didn't say it. Yang Zhan looked at the snow shadow calmly, and seemed to be able to realize that her heart was jumping around at the moment, which was the same as her own.
Yang Zhan looked at the Yiren in front of him attentively, as if he suddenly had the idea of retreating bravely and returning to the countryside. Xue Ying looked at Yang Zhan, vaguely sensing the other party's thoughts from his eyes, and then sadness turned into joy, and anxiety turned into gentleness.
The mountain breeze came slowly, and the plum blossoms fell on the heads of the two of them and on the hearts of the Yiren. Yang Zhan wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it. But he is unwilling to break this beautiful scene, only at this time silence is better than sound.
All this, Qu Rufeng, who stands far away, sees it in his eyes and is happy in his heart.
The Netherworld Valley Lord and Murong Yun in the house were really talking about the topic of the Initiating Emperor Holy Sword, which Murong Yun really planned to understand, but he was so concerned about Qu Rufeng's illness that he forgot to ask in a hurry. And the Lord of Netherworld Valley originally had no intention of asking questions, and turned back to look out the window several times, as if he was afraid that Yang Zhan would kidnap his daughter. But as the words were pushed away, the two chatted very intently.
"Back then, Ying Zheng forged the holy sword of the first emperor, and spent all the world's charcoal and iron, which lasted ten years to cast a sword. The sword is more than two inches wide, the sword is four feet long, and it opens and closes, which is unparalleled in the world. The Netherworld Valley Lord couldn't help but glance at the ancient sword in Murong Yunzhen's hand as he spoke.
"How is this sword better than Tai Gongbu?" asked Murong Yunzhen.
"Can the King's Sword be compared to the Emperor's Sword?" asked the Netherworld Lord rhetorically.
"I didn't expect this First Emperor Holy Sword to be so legendary. Murong Yunzhen said and couldn't help but look at the sword in his hand.
"The First Emperor's Sword is not actually a divine weapon. The Netherworld Lord said suddenly.
"If it's not a divine weapon, why do you say it's more powerful than Tai'a Gongbu? If it's not a divine weapon, why is everyone in the world competing to grab it?" Murong Yunzhen asked again.
The Lord of the Netherworld Valley smiled loudly, then stroked his red whisker and said, "The commendable thing about the First Emperor's Holy Sword is that the sword body hides a secret. β
"What's the secret?" Murong Yun asked curiously.
"The Qin State unified the six countries, and all the treasures of the world belonged to the Qin State, so Qin Shi Huang secretly buried these riches in the underground palace, and the Holy Sword of the First Emperor was the key to the underground palace. The Netherworld Lord said proudly.
"It was also made for money, and those people went to great lengths to covet curiosities. Murong Yun said with disdain.
"That's one of them. The Netherworld Lord added disapprovingly.
"What's so good about that?" Murong Yunzhen asked again.
"The most subtle thing about the First Emperor's Sword lies in its second secret. The Netherworld Lord said mysteriously.
"What's the second secret?" Murong Yunzhen couldn't help but ask.
"Rise from the dead. The Netherworld Lord replied simply.
"The First Emperor's Sacred Sword can bring the dead back to life? Murong Yun said in disbelief.
"I'm a secluded man and never bluffs. The Netherworld Lord said proudly.
Although he still felt that it was too exaggerated, Murong Yunzhen had no choice but to be suspicious.
