Chapter 25: Playing Safer
Chunyan left in a hurry after returning to the inn. Although he had predicted it before coming to the capital, some things still needed to be done. The place where he should stay now was in Hangzhou.www
"Hey, I have an idea, let's hear it." Xue Tong took a sip of tea and said to Li Yu. "It's a pity that you don't have martial arts now. Otherwise, we can go to the palace and have a look. There will definitely be some clues there.
." Fortunately, he stopped her the day before yesterday, and she really had this idea in her mind. The people guarding the arena today were just some ordinary forest guards, but Li Yu could clearly feel that they had practiced martial arts. Although their cultivation was not very good, they still needed to
It's just some big soldiers who speculated layer by layer. The danger in the palace can be imagined.[www]
Li Yu did not answer directly, but said, "Wan'er has been standing for a while. She must be tired. Let's rest for a while and set off in an hour." After that, he walked out of the house. His room was next door.
"Huh, I must have no clue. It's better to go to the palace. Wan'er, you're right!" Xue Tong said and handed the empty tea cup to Wan'er, "Ha, the tea Wan'er brews is extraordinary. This
Although the tea is ordinary, it tastes good. Well, it smells good."
Wan'er answered the question obediently and softly. Seeing Xue Tong enjoying herself, she couldn't help but think of her father who had disappeared for a long time. When his father was tired of interrogating, he would ask his mother to make him another pot of tea.
The appearance was somewhat similar to that of Xue Tong. As soon as she thought of this, her head was filled with many memories, and the movements of her hands were also forgotten, letting them flow down.
"It's full, it's full, oh, Wan'er, you're gone." Xue Tong looked at the tea that overflowed the edge of the cup with a look of regret.
***
Li Yu recalled Huang Shang's original plot in detail.
He was ordered to interrogate, proofread sentence by sentence, understood the truth, and achieved great martial arts. Then he went to fight the Mingjiao. He fought alone and defeated several Mingjiao envoys, the Dharma King. Unexpectedly, he got into trouble because of this. After the enemy injured him and found him, he was killed.
All the young men in the family were killed. When he finally learned the magical skills and returned to the world, all his enemies were dead. Unexpectedly, decades had passed. In the end, he left behind the famous "
"Nine Yin Manual", so there are many more grievances and grievances in the world.
It's a pity that the current plot has been changed into a mess. Not to mention that Huang Shang did not fight against the Mingjiao masters, he also left a daughter, and his martial arts will not be the best. Wan'er once said that Huang Shang's departure is very sad.
Suddenly, there was no sign before. I have searched for all the places I could go to, but where exactly is it going to be?
An hour passed. When Li Yu returned to Wan'er's room, Xue Tong was not in the room. Wan'er was sitting on the chair in front of the table blankly, and the tea sets on the table had not been cleared away.
"Where is she?" Li Yuxing walked to Wan'er and asked, but immediately Wan'er's acupoints were pressed, making her unable to move or speak.
A quarter of an hour later, Wan'er's acupuncture points were automatically unlocked.
"Miss Xue Tong went to the palace. She patted me on the shoulder and stopped me." Wan'er was able to move her body and grabbed Li Yu's arm. Although she had never been to the palace, the thrills involved
But it is foreseeable. This is definitely not comparable to going to the Art Bureau to arrest a few petty officials.
Li Yu hesitated. The best thing to do at this time is to find Tiantong. With her cultivation level, she should be able to do it. However, Tiantong left alone when they left the ring, and even Xuetong went there.
No. Do we need to find him?
"Miss Xuetong has been here for nearly an hour, nothing will happen!" Xuetong took the risk because of her affairs, so Wan'er was extremely anxious.
Li Yu looked at Wan'er and brought her to the capital with the purpose of helping her find her father. Although the relationship between Xuetong and him was not enough for him to risk his life, it was still necessary to do his part.
Prince Wei's Mansion.
Li Yu looked at the palace that looked similar to his before. He walked through the halls and courtyards under the leadership of a guard. After a while, he arrived at a room full of books. "Your Highness, please wait here. I will go and report to the prince."
The guard obviously knew him and had a certain status in Prince Wei's palace, otherwise he would not have brought him in on his own initiative.
The room is actually quite big, but the walls are surrounded by shelves. Except for the space around the table, it seems a bit crowded.
Li Yu casually glanced at the shelf for a few times. Surprisingly, most of what he saw were Taoist and Tibetan classics. Several of them were placed casually on the shelf. He should have read them recently. After looking around again,
In fact, the King of Wei is not complicated. In addition to Taoist and Tibetan classics, there are also some medicine and health care, and then there are some collections of poetry, music and art, which are not many in number.
"Ahem..." A cough came from far away, followed by a series of footsteps, and soon they arrived at the door.
As the door opened, Li Yu looked back, and the first thing he saw was the tip of a spear. The old man was surrounded by a group of soldiers and walked in. After seeing several people standing in the room, he saw Li Yu standing in the room.
He waved the soldiers to retreat. These soldiers were very obedient, waved their weapons in their hands, and went out. This surprised Li Yu. Various signs in the past showed that King Wei was clearly under the custody of that person. This was the answer.
What's going on?
"Ahem, Yu'er, you're here, very good, very good, ahem..." the old man asked after sitting down on the only chair. After just one sentence, there was a series of coughs, violent coughs.
He couldn't straighten up. His cough was followed by a loud wheezing sound, as if he was terminally ill.
Li Yu hurriedly left, reaching out and patting the old man's back gently. It took a long time for the old man to calm down. Although his martial arts had not yet recovered, his keen intuition made him feel that the body under his palm was already oily.
The lamp has dried up, and there is no way to recover. In his memory, King Wei seemed to have died once, but then he lived again. Is it true this time?
"The imperial doctor said I could live for more than a hundred days, but look, he removed all the ears and eyes around me so early..." The old man's voice was soft, like babble.
Li Yu sighed in his heart. The meaning of the old man's words was obvious. If there were really more than a hundred days left, that person would never evacuate the person so quickly. But, how many days are left? As expected, that person
As worthy of being a king of a country, he shows no mercy even to his relatives when it comes to cruel methods. There is nothing more frightening than approaching death, and this can happen at any time.
"Ahem, where's your martial arts?" The old man's eyes flashed, and he suddenly asked loudly, as if his previous weakness was an illusion.
Li Yu's stroking hand suddenly stopped. Was it just that he was hit without using his inner strength? "Something went wrong, it's gone for the time being." Li Yu briefly explained the matter, but he himself was vague about the process.
, and did not say why.
"That's all, cough, cough, this is fate, it's destined, cough..." The old man made another series of coughs. This time it seemed to be worse than last time. Even with Li Yu's caress, it didn't get better at all.
There are signs. If the internal strength is still there, sorting out the context is just a piece of cake. Unfortunately, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky for him now.
The death of a plot character may be an eternal farewell. People like Song Qing who can reappear just have fixed memories. Li Yu can be sure that if King Wei dies, this character will never exist again, because he belongs to
Special plot characters.
"Ahem, in the future, if you can, help me take care of your cousin! Ahem..." Finally, the old man's cough subsided, "Why are you here this time? Ahem..."
Li Yu shook his head. The King of Wei was now in such a state that it was hard to bear the blow. I was afraid that he could no longer talk about going to the palace. "It's nothing. When I come to the capital, I have to come and see my uncle first." Then he said casually.
In order to attract the old man's attention, he casually asked about the cousin he had never met before. The old man immediately called the guard to summon her, but fortunately the guard replied that he was visiting an aunt who had not returned, so he gave up.
"Ahem, let's not pursue those matters. The farther away the court affairs are, the better, ahem..." The old man warned Li Yu when he left. He talked a lot, but only had one central meaning.
The best policy is to be wise and protect yourself.
Li Yu sighed secretly in his heart. Looking at his words and actions, King Wei was afraid that he was really going to die soon this time. As for most of what he said, he didn't listen. If that person had intentions, no matter how hard he hid it,
Good but useless.
When he came out of Prince Wei's Mansion, he passed by in a soft sedan chair, and a scent of powdery powder entered his nostrils. But what made Li Yu a little strange was that there seemed to be a hint of herbal medicine mixed in, faint, and finally followed the scent of the incense sedan.
gradually disappear.
"Hey, did you go in?" Just as Li Yu was thoughtful, a person suddenly said next to him. When he looked up, he saw Xue Tong standing beside him.
"Didn't you go to the palace?" Li Yu asked.
But Xue Tong said "Ouch", "Don't interrupt, tell me, can you enter Prince Wei's Mansion?"
Li Yu caught a hint of embarrassment on her face. Obviously, her trip to the palace was not smooth. "The King of Wei is my uncle." Not many people know about his original identity, but it is not a big secret.
.As Tiantong’s younger sister, it’s a bit strange that Xue Tong is not.
"Oh, you can't tell, our Hero Chunyang turns out to be His Highness!" Xue Tong deliberately raised his voice to a high pitch, "This little girl is really blind, so please forgive me, Your Highness!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he started laughing.
Li Yu's expression remained as usual, "Is there any information on Huang Shang's whereabouts?"
"Perhaps, but we have to confirm it. Well, Your Highness, how about taking the little girl in to see the world?" Xue Tong pointed to the gate of Prince Wei's Mansion and said to Li Yu. Based on the proud expression on her face, it seems that the clues she said
I didn't just say it casually.
