Eastward Flow

Chapter 34

They are too similar, Xuan Jingchen thought.Perhaps it was because His Highness the Crown Prince had the heart of a young man from the beginning to the end.Xuan Jingchen looked at the young man under the horse with gentle eyes, "Since that's the case, let's say goodbye, young master."

"My lord, go slowly." Zhong Lisuo nodded slightly, watching Xuan Jingchen turn the horse around by pulling the reins, and walked towards the night.Zhong Lishuo looked at her gradually receding back, and couldn't help but take a step forward, calling loudly: "Lord Yongle..."

Immediately, Xuan Jingchen looked back and looked at the young man in front of the door suspiciously.Zhong Lisuo looked at her misty face in the night, with an extremely peaceful heart, she looked at the queen, and gently told her: "It's dark at night, please walk slowly."

At that moment, Zhong Lisuo, who finally saw the queen, almost couldn't help shouting - Zitong, I haven't seen you for many years, are you okay?And can you remember Gu?

But she couldn't say, she could only watch the person she admired go away gradually.Xuan Jingchen smiled when he heard the words, nodded and said warmly: "Thank you for your concern, young master, I will."

Xuan Jingchen drove his horse and left Qionghua Lane in the dark.Zhong Lisuo hugged the music score and heard Xuan Jingchen's hooves rattling away, he felt his heart fall into the cold early spring ground.

Zhong Lisuo stood where he was, feeling lost.

Le Zhengying, who was behind her, walked towards her, reached out and patted her on the shoulder, and said, "Go back, tell sister, isn't Ah Sheng going to pick you up today? Why did you walk back alone?"

"I had someone stop my car on the way, because I needed a sick person in my family urgently, so I ordered Ah Sheng to send him to the hospital." Zhong Lisuo turned around, walked into the mansion with his elder sister, and said softly: "It's late to return. It made my sister worry, I hope my sister will not blame her."

Le Zhengying reached out, tapped her on the head, and responded with a smile, "What's your fault? I'm worried that you're hungry."

The young man was just growing up, and when he heard that his stomach really cooperated, he made a grunt.Zhong Lisuo looked at Le Zhengying speechlessly, but saw the elder sister burst out laughing, "Okay, okay, dinner is already ready, let's go in quickly."

She urged her younger sister, her eyes fell on the thing Zhong Lisuo was holding, and she asked suspiciously, "What is that in your arms?"

Zhong Lishuo looked at the score in his arms, and replied with a smile: "It's the score, Mr. Lin's "Sea God". He gave me a copy of the score today."

"You went to find Lin Mengdie?" Le Zhengying was slightly startled, but seeing her sister nodding, she said happily, "Exactly, I went to ask for it sincerely."

After she finished speaking, she quickly stepped into the hall and greeted the eldest sister briskly: "Sister, come quickly, I'm hungry."

The young man in high spirits, the corners of his eyes and brows are full of joyful spring.Le Zhengying shook her head, smiled and followed slowly.

After bidding farewell to the empress Zhonglisuo, after returning to the palace and having a simple dinner, she went to Zhaohui Hall to handle government affairs.The servant An Yi, who had been waiting for her return in the palace, said softly beside the queen after she sat down and raised the ink pen, "Your Majesty, King Yunzhong came to the palace today and said he has something important to report."

"Seeing that you were not here, he left a letter for you."

Xuan Jingchen told An Yi earlier that the news about Zhong Limu should be conveyed in time.After hearing this, Xuan Jingchen put down the ink pen, and You Zi calmly said, "Give me the letter."

An Yi handed over the letter left by King Yun Zhong, and Xuan Jingchen took the heavy envelope, opened it in twos and found a sapphire.

She frowned, put down the sapphire, took out the pressed letter paper, and quickly swept it away.

"Your Majesty respectfully read this, I have recently received a piece of news from Heihudong..."

When he learned that there was something hidden about Emperor Zhao's death, Xuan Jingchen began to investigate the people who stayed with Emperor Zhao before the palace change.And Zhong Limu set out to the southern border to investigate the origin of the poison.

There are 72 dongs in southern Xinjiang, and each dong has its own unique method.This blood cicada is only unique to Heihudong, even the King of Southern Border knows its symptoms but does not know how to cure it.Only the patriarch of the Bo people knows the law.

Zhong Limu asked the chief of the Bo people for help firstly for the death of Emperor Zhao and secondly for the guards.The two medical workers and bodyguards who went to southern Xinjiang according to Emperor Zhao's will got permission from the head of the Bo people to participate in the dispensing of medicines.

Gu poison is the soul of a dong, if the method of breaking it is known, this dong will be abolished.Although the little medical worker is familiar with the Gu poison in the southern border, it is very difficult to prepare the antidote by himself.

The king of Yunzhong passed the news of dispensing the medicine to Heihudong, and learned that the chief of the Bo people helped the king of Yunzhong, but Heihudong, who had no one in the clan to help him, had no choice but to pray to the patriarch not to give up on them, and to spread the detoxification method, so that Active dispensing.

Not only that, but also frankly informed the assassination of Zhong's departure.

Having dealt with the Chu people for hundreds of years, the originally honest Bo people are not far behind the cunning businessmen in Wanzhou.

Hei Hudong, who had always had business transactions with the Chu people in Yunzhou, was finally aroused when the trading of goods was restricted for half a year.After listening to the words of the head of a chamber of commerce who entered the southern border, I realized that it was the ban of King Yunzhong.Hei Hudong, who couldn't live on, started to think about it.

It's just that they didn't say who provoked them before, but they were guarding some kind of unspeakable loyalty.

The head of the chamber of commerce was surnamed Yang, and he was the manager of a shop under the surname of Yang in Wanzhou.Fenlai has a deal with Heihudong, so everyone in Heihudong is familiar with him.

According to Hei Hudong's words, the King of Clouds has already set out to take him down.

After solving his own affairs by accident, Hei Hudong also explained about Xue Chan.The law of poison poisoning has always been passed on to the next witch in the cave, and the next witch in Heihudong fell off a cliff and died eight years ago.

This is an old incident in Heihudong, but it is related to the whereabouts of the blood cicada poison that murdered Emperor Zhao.

Ten years ago, during the war in Yunzhou, a group of soldiers who fled to southern Xinjiang under the pursuit of Xuan Jingchen's army did not enter the foggy forest.Many soldiers did not pass through the terrifying forest full of Gu insects. Only one young man climbed out and floated along the river to Heihudong, where he was rescued by a girl named Aqian.

Aqian is the next witch in Dongzhong. The innocent and kind girl rescued the young man and begged the tribe to keep the young man.As they get along day by day, the girl and the youth develop feelings for each other.But the girl had a marriage contract since she was a child. After the girl's coming-of-age ceremony, the girl who didn't want to marry her fiancé met the young man and escaped from Heihudong.

He escaped from southern Xinjiang and went to live in the prosperous state of Chu.

The plan of the young men and women was seen through. On the night of their escape, the girl sent the young man to a boat heading to Yunzhou, and was taken back by her tribe.

The witch told Ah Qian that she had given the young man the blood cicada gu, and that he would die sooner or later, which made Ah Qian give up.But Ah Qian sneered and told his mother, who was a witch, that she had detoxified the young man's Gu poison long ago, and also told the young man how to prepare the blood cicada Gu.

But soon, Ah Qian vomited a big mouthful of blood.It turned out that after Ah Qian untied the young man's blood cicada, he planted twigs for the young man.

If this life is connected with branches, they will be lingering and inseparable.

Young men and women who have been poisoned by Gu.You can't leave the other party for two hours, or you will die from vomiting blood.Ah Qian knew that he couldn't escape from Heihudong, and he didn't want the young man to be troubled, so he slammed his head against the wall, killed the mother gu, set the young man free, but died himself.

This young girl talked about living and dying with the young man, but in the end, when she knew that the person she loved would leave with her, she still chose to let the other person stay in the world safe and sound.

The Bo people have the custom of leaving a lover's token as an enshrinement. Aqian is the daughter of a witch, and the witch is still soft-hearted after all, leaving behind her daughter's bone chain and the young man's token to her daughter.

The young man did not leave a last name, but only said that his name was Cheng.And the token of love for the girl is the sapphire that is now placed on the queen's desk.

After scanning the letter, the queen picked up the sapphire on the case, carefully identified the emblem on the jade, her pupils shrank slightly, and she really responded to the words in the book written by King Yunzhong.

The Golden Crow, which symbolizes the descendants of the Eastern Emperor, flies over the mountains and seas, and is the totem of the Chu royal family.Every prince will be blessed with a blessing jade by Taiyi Guan after he is born, as a symbol of the royal descendants.

Ah Cheng, his compound surname is Zhongli, his full name is Zhonglicheng.

Zhong Licheng was the prince's son of Zhongzhou who died in Yunzhou during the Zhongzhou rebellion.His head was cut off, and together with his father and uncle, he hung his corpse outside the city for three days in accordance with the emperor's will.

Why did Zhong Licheng, who Xuan Jingchen shot and killed himself, come back to life?The queen squeezed the letter written by Zhongli, and frowned as she thought about the battlefield many years ago.

In the battle of Yunzhou, because the opponent had an astrologer, it could not be broken for a long time.Later, with the power of Tianjian Si Qinglan, he broke through the city.Could it be that Zhong Licheng escaped with the help of the astrologer.

She knew the abilities of a Taoist with a high level of cultivation in the Taiyi School, so when she caught Zhong Licheng, she asked Qing Lan to confirm it herself.But it turns out, is it still wrong?

If Zhong Licheng was still alive back then and knew the Blood Cicada Gu, then it would be reasonable for Zhong Limu to guess that he murdered Emperor Zhao for revenge.If so, among the group of people around Emperor Zhao back then, which one was Zhong Licheng?But now Zhong Licheng, dead or alive, where is he?

Did the death of Emperor Zhao really have nothing to do with the courtiers?

The queen put down Zhong Limu's letter, only to feel that the clues that came so hard were still a mess.

She glanced at the letter again, looking at the sentence "Even if there is no mother poison, the body of the person who has been hit by Lianlizhi is different from ordinary people. Even in the dog days, their hands and feet are as cold as ice and snow. No matter men or women, losing a loved one It's like falling into an ice cave."

Different from ordinary people...

The queen gave the subtle clues to the dark guards, expecting them to find out Zhong Licheng who was no longer there.

After briefly dealing with the matter at hand, the empress, who had her heart on Emperor Zhao, was a little out of sorts.She was busy for a while, then put down the ink pen, and said to the An Yi female officer: "Ask the chief minister if he has fallen asleep, if not, tell her to come over."
