Jiang Yichen reacted immediately and said, "What Lu Shifang saw was Yin Tianzheng!"
The old man said: "What Yin Tianzheng saw was the road in all directions."
Jiang Yichen said: "It is not a small crime to get involved in the emperor's harem."
The old man said: "The crime of deceiving the emperor should be punished."
Jiang Yichen said: "But there is still room for maneuver on this matter."
The old man said: "This matter can be big or small. If too many people know about it, not only Yin Tianzheng's own life will be in danger, but the Yin family will also suffer. If Long Yan is furious, even Concubine Yin may fall out of favor. If it is possible,
Within the control area, if Concubine Yin begs for mercy, the emperor may allow Yin Tianzheng to die a more dignified death because of his great service, or simply exempt him from the death penalty. But no matter what, Yin Tianzheng's life is completely over.
.”
Jiang Yichen sighed: "So, Lu Shifang must die."
The old man said: "Only the dead can keep secrets."
Jiang Yichen said: "Lu Shifang has accounted for at least eighty percent of this glory and wealth. Can Yin Tianzheng really do it?"
The old man said: "Lu Shifang only saved his life because of Yin Tianzheng's timely rescue. He was willing to die for Yin Tianzheng."
Jiang Yichen remained silent, speechless.
The old man said: "Yin Tianzheng gave Lu Shifang a bottle of Hedinghong and asked him to finish it on his own."
Jiang Yichen asked: "What's the reason?"
The old man said: "After the banquet in the palace, Lu Shifang returned to the mansion of Marquis Weiwu. After drinking, he had sex and defiled a maid in the mansion."
Jiang Yichen said: "After all, she is just a maid. Lu Shifang is a great general and his crimes will not lead to death."
The old man said: "But what if this is Lu Shifang's own choice?"
Jiang Yichen asked in confusion: "My own choice?"
The old man said: "Lu Shifang used to be a child from a poor family. He was honest and taciturn. Later, due to the scars on his face, he had less contact with others. It is a shameful thing to commit this for the first time. Because of his character,
He was so trapped in self-blame that he chose to commit suicide by taking poison."
Jiang Yichen pondered for a long time and said slowly: "Is it really worth it for Lu Shifang to do this?"
The old man said: "For him, he died well. In his opinion, if Yin Tianzheng hadn't come to the rescue three years ago, he should have gone to see the Lord of Hell. And over the years, he has indeed gained Yin Tianzheng's help.
Take less care of me."
Jiang Yichen said: "What about the boy following Lu Shifang?"
The old man said: "You really haven't seen him forget it."
Jiang Yichen said: "He should be Ye Shang, right?"
The old man said: "Yes. Before Lu Shifang took the poison, Nightmare was by his side."
Jiang Yichen said in disbelief: "Ye Shang watched his benefactor die in front of him?"
The old man said: "Late that night, Lu Shifang woke up Ye Shang who had already fallen asleep and said a few words to him."
"Lu Shifang told Ye Shang that he really didn't have much ability and couldn't teach him much. The last thing he could teach him was one word - loyalty."
"The most important thing in the military camp is that soldiers are loyal to their commanders and ministers are loyal to their kings."
"Lu Shifang once told Ye Shang how the scars on his face came from. Naturally, he also told him that Yin Tianzheng saved him."
"If it hadn't been for Yin Tianzheng in the past, there wouldn't be him in Lu Shifang today."
"Therefore, he will always be loyal to Yin Tianzheng in all directions. If Yin Tianzheng points east, he will never go west. If Yin Tianzheng asks him to give his life, he will never live."
"After Lu Shifang said this to Ye Shang, he drank the wine mixed with Hedinghong and fell asleep."
"At that time, Ye Shang naturally had no idea what Lu Shifang did and said. It wasn't until he woke up the next day and heard that Lu Shifang committed suicide in fear of committing suicide after he defiled the maid last night that he felt something was wrong."
"Nian Zai Lu Shifang was loyal to Wei Wuhou and made many meritorious deeds. Lu Shifang received a decent burial."
"Although Ye Shang is still young, he has already realized that this matter is definitely not what he sees and hears on the surface."
"He asked the people in the mansion about the rules of guarding the tomb, and planned to guard the tomb for three years as a gift from his parents."
"At the same time, during these three years, we will investigate the truth and restore Lu Shifang's innocence. Of course, if everything is thanks to Yin Tianzheng, he will also avenge Lu Shifang."
"However, just seven days after Lu Shifang was buried, a guard from the Hou Mansion packed his bags and came to him."
"The guards told Ye Shang that Lu Shifang left a note before committing suicide, hoping that Yin Tianzheng could send someone to send Ye Shang away from the capital to a remote and secluded countryside, and give all his wealth to Ye Shang so that
He can live a happy and carefree life."
"Of course Ye Shang didn't believe what the guard said, because Lu Shifang was a rough man. His writing was not neat and crooked. He usually couldn't write much on a big piece of paper. How could he write so much on a piece of paper?
Character?"
"But he still left with the guard. He remembered what Lu Shifang said to him that night. He already fully understood why Lu Shifang said those words to him."
"Lu Shifang didn't leave a note, but he must have found Yin Tianzheng. Lu Shifang asked him to leave Youjing, so he left Youjing."
"After leaving the land of right and wrong, Ye Shang never thought about going back to seek revenge. Of course, he also understood that Lu Shifang was willing to die. Lu Shifang did not want him to seek revenge. He also wanted to obey Lu Shifang.
My last wish is to live well."
"Unexpectedly, the guard left him alone in the forest when he was halfway there, and fled with the money."
"Ye Shang was less than ten years old at the time, but he had to survive in the wild."
"He used a dagger to carve the cross scar on his tender left cheek."
"He wanted to never forget his benefactor Lu Shifang and his teachings, and never forget the dangers of the human heart."
"Fortunately, although people's hearts are bad, the hearts of animals are not so bad."
"Ye Shang spent several days munching on wild fruits and turf in the mountains and forests, and almost starved to death. However, he was saved by a pack of wolves, and he has been with wolves ever since."
After hearing this, Jiang Yichen finally understood what was going on with Ye Shang's eyes.
The old man continued: "Ye Shang and the wolves have been dependent on each other for nearly ten years. When he was hit by the Styx, he was no different from a wolf."
"During that time, the weather in the mountains and forests was not good, and many wild animals may have froze to death and starved to death, and their numbers dropped sharply."
"Hunters who make a living by hunting really can't get rid of the blame, so they turn their attention to the wolves, and their target is precisely the wolf pack where Nightmare lives."
"At first, the hunters didn't find anyone else among the wolves."
"It wasn't until they successfully surrounded the wolves with a ruse that they discovered that there was a wolf among the wolves. It looked strange, was fast, and could throw flying rocks to destroy their arrows."
"The hunters tried to dissuade this 'fake wolf' from arresting him. They were willing to accept talents like him, but Ye Shang turned a deaf ear."
"In the end, of course, the hunters had murderous intentions and were ready to kill the Night Scorpions together regardless of the situation."
"Both humans and wolves were furious, and the battle was particularly brutal."
"This scene was seen by Styx passing by here."
"When he saw a young man among the wolves, he couldn't help but be moved."
"At the most critical moment, he rescued Nightmare, scared off the hunters, and saved the few remaining wolves."
There is no need to listen to the following story, Jiang Yichen has already understood, Ye Shang's attitude towards the Nether Sect and Styx - loyalty.
As expected, the old man stopped talking.
Jiang Yichen was still confused as to why the old man told him this series of stories.
The old man seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and said: "I am telling you this because I want to tell you that as long as Styx is alive, as long as Styx does not drive away Nightmare, Nightmare will always be the sharpest beast in the Nether Sect.
Teeth, and the most unshakable heart.”
"He spared no effort to train you or prepare for a rainy day."
"After all, at that time, too many people were confused by Xiao Luo. As long as you think about it carefully, you will know that it is a sure-fire deal."
"The incident in Xunfeng Valley has greatly damaged the vitality of the Netherworld Sect. Without you, you can imagine how competitive the Netherworld Sect would be today."
"He doesn't care about your origin, just because Lu Shifang and Styx don't care about his origin either."
"If you don't have any twisted thoughts about the Netherworld Cult, he will treat you as his own child."
The old man took a deep breath and said solemnly: "So, as long as you stay in the Nether Sect for a day, don't stab the Nether Sect in the back, otherwise, he will be the first to not spare you!"
