"Why did you resign as Da Chanyu?" Chen Xing said.
"I don't want to be." Xiang Shu said coldly, "What? I can't make the decision myself?" He knelt before the case and glanced at the tea bowl. Chen Xing drank it, and he didn't care. drink.
Feng Qianjun smiled and said, "Congratulations to Brother Xiang."
"Same joy." Xiang Shu said indifferently.
Chen Xing didn't understand what Feng Qianjun congratulated Xiang Shu, let alone what Xiang Shu meant by "tongxi", but Xiang Shu and Feng Qianjun understood, Feng Qianjun congratulated Xiang Shu for finally being able to get out of his heavy responsibilities, so he could take care of himself. something happened. Xiang Shu is "happy together" Feng Qianjun is finally getting married, so as not to find Chen Xing obliviously all day long.
"What's the result?" Xiang Shu rarely asked proactively.
When Feng Qianjun was about to report, Chen Xing said, "What if Shi Mokun agreed to give the Purple Scroll Golden Award?"
Feng Qianjun said: "I don't see it in a short time."
Xiang Shu: "I can't control him. He is the new chief danyu, not my slave."
Chen Xing murmured, "Fu Jian is about to mobilize his troops to cross the Yangtze River."
Xiang Shu said impatiently, "What does this have to do with you?"
Chen Xing frowned deeply: "This... why is it none of my business?"
Xiang Shu: "It's you who has been long-winded all day long and asked me to go back to be a big chanyu. I can't do it now?!"
Feng Qianjun: "Hey, why are you two still the same as before, always arguing."
Chen Xing thought that Xiang Shuri would let Da Chanyu, and then Fu Jian would be unchecked in the north, and the situation would become more dangerous.
In order to go south with Chen Xing, Xiang Shu resigned without saying a word. He thought he would be moved, but Chen Xing's reaction was completely unexpected, and he couldn't help but get angry, and said ironically: "I forgot. Now, as soon as the solitary king abdicates, you will be bullied by the barbarians when you harm your clan, uh, how can this be good? It's really annoying."
Chen Xing heard the sarcasm in Xiang Shuyu's words, but he didn't argue. He only said, "Will the Hu people die if they die? If we really want to fight, I don't know how many people will die. This resentment..."
Xiang Shu finally couldn't bear it any longer, and shouted angrily, "I'll go to Chang'an now and kill Fu Jian!"
Xiang Shu was furious, Chen Xing and Feng Qianjun were both startled, Chen Xing had to stop talking.
"Say," Xiang Shu said to Feng Qianjun, "My current identity is that of the Exorcist, the Protector of the Law and the Martial God. What is the result of the investigation?"
Feng Qianjun laughed suddenly, which is not bad. If he admits that he is an exorcist, Xiang Shu and Chen Xing are theoretically his superiors.
"The situation is a little bad." Feng Qianjun thought for a while, and motioned Chen Xing to sit first and stop arguing with his eyes. Chen Xing sat down with a complicated mood and listened to Feng Qianjun's narration. Just after listening to the beginning, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. Did he think against you? I'm the person in charge of the Exorcism Division. You actually started to issue orders? !
Forget it, I will bear with it... I will settle the account with you after Feng Qianjun is gone.
"After saying goodbye to the two of you, I went all the way east and left Hangu Pass, but I ran into Murong Chong who was heading to Luoyang." Feng Qianjun said.
That night, Feng Qianjun left quietly. He wanted to go back to Jiangnan first, but he ran into Murong Chong on the way. Although Fu Jian told the world, Feng became the scapegoat for this unclear case.
In fact, Murong Chong had already made up his mind about who the master was, and it was even more impossible for him not to know about his sister's revenge for murdering the king. After the mourning, Fu Jian transferred him from Pingyang to Luoyang, the eastern capital, to give him a new fief. Maybe he wanted to make him the king of Henan.
Murong Chong led the army on the march, Feng Qianjun was trailing all the way, and heard a lot of news. First of all, I learned that the body of Princess Qinghe was stolen overnight.
Chen Xing: "…"
Xiang Shu's expression suddenly became quite complicated, Feng Qianjun nodded and said, "Maybe it was taken and transformed into... that."
Feng Qianjun was obsessed with Princess Qinghe during his lifetime and fell in love at first sight. However, after experiencing so many things, his only hope for this was that she could rest in peace after her death.
Secondly, after Feng Qianjun arrived in Luoyang, he found the tomb of Runan King Sima Liang in the outskirts of Luoyang. As expected, it had been taken out, and there was nothing in the coffin, which was consistent with the news Chen Xing got from Sima Wei. The king has been resurrected six kings, but the remaining two kings, which two are still unknown.
The king of Runan, Sima Liang, the king of Chu, Sima Wei, the king of Zhao, Sima Lun, the king of Qi, Sima Ji, the king of Changsha, Sima Yi, the king of Chengdu, Sima Ying, the king of Hejian, Sima Yong, and the king of Donghai, Sima Yue.
Xiang Shu was dizzy and couldn't tell who the Sima family was. Of course, for Chen Xing, there was no obstacle. After all, they were all Han people's names. It was Shi Mokun, Balikun, Che Luofeng, and Karosa that gave him a headache.
"Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, was saved by you in Chang'an." Feng Qianjun said, "Sima Yue, the king of the East Sea, was chopped into patties by the little brother who had not yet met."
"It was cut into puree." Chen Xing said sincerely.
"Sima Wei is trying to break free from Shihai's control," Feng Qianjun pondered. "We will meet each other. It can be said that three of the six resurrected kings have gone, and the remaining three are still lurking in the dark."
"Yeah." Chen Xing frowned, "So, the guards of Shihai's defense formation are already out of order. It's hard to say whether they can use that Myriad Spirit Formation to revive Chiyou."
Xiang Shu was also relieved at the moment, frowning and said: "The other two kings must be found and dealt with in advance, but I don't know where they are buried."
"Hey," Feng Qianjun smiled, showing his white and neat teeth, and said proudly, "This is Brother Yu's ability."
Chen Xing was surprised: "Have you found it?"
Feng Qianjun said, "Have you ever thought about why Shihai was alone without these two kings and couldn't be resurrected? The reason is very simple, because for him, these two guys may be too far apart."
"Wait..." Chen Xing vaguely understood what Feng Qianjun meant, and always felt that Shihai's identity seemed to reveal a corner from the fog, which would be a major clue.
"In the south." Xiang Shu understood immediately.
Feng Qianjun nodded meaningfully and said, "It's buried in the imperial mausoleum north of Zhongshan."
In the past, the rebellion of the eight princes destroyed the Dajin court. The eight princes of the Sima family were all skilled in martial arts and fighting in the army. However, in order to compete for the throne, under the instigation and use of the traitor Jia Nanfeng, they started a war. Crazy and bloody cannibalism. For decades, you killed me, and I killed him. The Jin court's millions of troops were completely damaged by this internal conflict, resulting in the emptiness of the northern defenses, and the Huns Liu Yuanfang led the army to enter the customs. The final winner, Sima Yue, led the Chang'an court and most of the military and civilians to flee in a hurry, but was blocked by Liu Yuan, killed him cleanly, and the Jin Dynasty was well-dressed, so it was called the Yongjia Rebellion.
The Yongjia Rebellion also opened the prelude to the chaos of China for nearly a hundred years, but when the various tribes in the north were fighting for Guanzhong, Luoyang and other places, the heirs of Yu Jiankang's revival of the Sima family were not idle. With the powerful skills of combining vertical and horizontal, he not only successfully provoked various races to fight, but also successfully retrieved the jade seal of the country, as well as the coffins of the two kings of Hejian and Qi, and buried them in the imperial tomb of Zhongshan.
"That's great," Chen Xing said, "that's great! Wait... Well, according to what we saw in Longzhong Mountain, to resurrect an ancient corpse and make it a king, it would take seven, seven and forty-nine days. The process must be very complicated, in fact, there is no need to rush to destroy it, um... I think... "
"Smart!" Feng Qianjun said with a smile, "I have sent spies to watch the imperial mausoleum day and night. If there is any abnormality, I will come to notify you at any time. At first, I was hesitant. If Shi Hai wanted to resurrect these two kings, he would definitely Send your subordinates, or even come in person. Whether or not to destroy the king's corpse in advance is more straightforward, but listening to you recite Sima Wei's words, maybe we can still wait for the rabbit... "
Chen Xing made a "uh" sound, and had a bold idea. In Longzhong Mountain, when the strange masked man resurrected Sima Wei, it seemed that there was some kind of variable because of the heart lamp. So is it possible to use this variable to turn the remaining two kings back, and beat Shihai by surprise
"I think so far at least," Feng Qianjun said, "the corpse still hasn't arrived at Zhongshan's rush to resurrect the two kings, which is very meaningful."
Xiang Shu also gave a "hmm", Chen Xing felt a little strange and asked, "What's meaningful?"
Xiang Shu folded his arms and pondered. After a while, he got a little impatient and said, "I just praised you for being smart, why are you stupid now? Why are these two kings alone in Shihai? I don't understand?"
Feng Qianjun smiled. Seeing that Chen Xing was still thinking, Xiang Shu simply explained, "Because the south of the Yangtze River is not a place of power for Shihai!"
These words awakened the dreamer in an instant, and the cause and effect were all linked in an instant. Longzhongshan is near Xiangyang, and the Qin army besieged the city, and the mysterious masked people invaded Longzhongshan. That is to say, the scope of Shihai's activities was limited to the north of the Yangtze River until then.
Can't he come? ! What does it mean not to come? Shi Hai is from Fu Jian's side! Thinking of the chaos in Chang'an again, the yin and yang were misunderstood and returned to Feng Qianyi again in the middle... The answer became gradually clearer.
"The corpse is lurking next to Fu Jian at this moment," Chen Xing said, "who could it be?!"
This is also the truth that Feng Qianjun has always wanted to find out no matter what, to find out the identity of Shihai, that is, to find the person who seduced his brother into the devil, this is his most important revenge target.
Chen Xing couldn't help but sigh, and sure enough, he still had to have a partner to help. Seeing that a clueless conspiracy was actually inferred by the three, it slowly surfaced!
"That night, besides Fu Jian, who else was in the palace?" Feng Qianjun said, "From the Murong family? Tuoba Yan?"
"Tuoba Yan is impossible." Xiang Shu denied it, and said, "Although I don't think he is pleasing to the eye, it can't be him. It was dark at night, and I couldn't see anything clearly. I only saw a few personal guards and Fu Jian. , it’s not like Fu Jian himself.”
"This probably shouldn't be ruled out," Feng Qianjun said.
Chen Xing thought for a while and said, "Let's not talk about whether Fu Jian has such thoughts. An emperor has to run around and sing such a big drama. Do you think he has time?"
"That's true." Feng Qianjun expressed his approval.
"Prince Ye?" Xiang Shu suggested another candidate, "Fu Jian will consult with him on everything."
"Have you seen him?" Feng Qianjun asked.
Xiang Shu recalled, but could not remember whether there was Prince Ye behind Ye Fujian. The three discussed and discussed, and finally Xiang Shu said: "Then according to the next situation, we may be able to clearly determine who this person is."
Chen Xing's train of thought has been a little out of step with the above, so he can only ask humbly: "Why? Can you explain it clearly? Dharma protector, I found that you are very smart."
Xiang Shu: "I don't dare to be an exorcist who can talk about mysteries and fight against Confucian scholars. How can I be a little smart like a protector?"
Chen Xing had already had an admiration for Xiang Shu, but he really didn't understand it. He didn't expect to be stabbed again, so he politely replied: "A wise person will have a thousand thoughts, and there will be a loss; a fool will have a thousand thoughts, and there will be something wrong. Well, sometimes you should not be ashamed to ask."
Item description: "… "
Feng Qianjun saw that the two began to compete again, for fear that it would turn into a quarrel again, and hurriedly said: "Brother Xiang please enlighten me."
"If you want to revive the remaining two kings," Xiang Shu said, "you need the grievances released by the large-scale dead people, just like the battle of Xiangyang. If you want to kill people, there must be a big battle. If Fu Jian goes south to attack Jiankang in the near future, it will also It means that, by his side, someone is urging him to fight. Shi Hai's identity must be a high-ranking counselor."
"Ah." Feng Qianjun didn't expect this, so he nodded.
Chen Xing Xindao Xiang Shu is indeed very smart. The happiest thing about reuniting with Feng Qianjun today is not the sudden encounter with the old man, but the fact that they suddenly turned their passive into active. Once the hiding place of the corpse is confirmed, there is a clear Goal, then make a plan around this goal, it is much easier to do.
The most fearful thing is that I don't know where the enemy is, or even what the enemy is. I have paid so much hardship along the way, and finally it has paid off, which makes Chen Xing temporarily relieved.
Feng Qianjun still frowned, when Chen Xing was about to ask for any more information, Feng Qianjun said: "Sometimes, you don't have to go to war if you want to die. Jiangnan seems to be peaceful, but in reality, the undercurrent is turbulent. You two should go back to Jiangnan at this time. , Thinking about it today, there is actually some guidance from heaven.”
Xiang Shu's face suddenly changed. Chen Xing was about to get up and move when he heard the words and said, "What? What happened?"
Feng Qianjun hesitated for a moment, and then simply said: "I don't know if this is really what I guessed... However, since we are all involved, it's okay to say it, do you remember the soldier's body we found in Longzhongshan a year ago? ?"
Chen Xing: "!!!"
Chen Xing suddenly remembered that when he met Xiang Shu and Feng Qianjun, Xiang Shu kicked a corpse off the cliff to warn Chen Xing and the two not to go any further. But that night, Chen Xing and Feng Qianjun tied the body to the back of a horse and let the horse carry the body back to Maicheng.
"The corpse has changed?" Xiang Shu's voice became heavy.
Feng Qianjun nodded slowly and said, "Fortunately, the situation is not too bad."
Less than twenty-four hours after the soldier's body was delivered to Maicheng, it became a living corpse. The well-informed Maicheng county magistrate, thinking of the legend of zombies in ancient books, immediately locked it in a large cage. stand up. But the man who inspected the body, along with several soldiers, were scratched on the spot.
The living corpse was then caged and sent to Jiankang, where it was secretly presented to Sima Yao, Emperor of Jin, for a viewing, without disturbing too many people. But soon, less than ten days after he returned home, he was infected with the disease, biting his wife and children, followed by many people, all turned into living corpses.
Chen Xing: "..."
Feng Qianjun said: "At that time, we didn't know the power of the spearmen, so we can't blame us."
Xiang Shu's face was ashen, and he said, "What happened later?"
Feng Qianjun said: "Many people in Maicheng were poisoned with corpse poison. Fortunately, later... er, it's not very honorable to say, but it was resolved."
There was too much information in the understated sentence, Chen Xing sighed, and Xiang Shu said, "Is it really solved?"
"On the surface," Feng Qianjun said, "but in the late autumn of last year, that is, when you were in Chilechuan, there were several small-scale plague outbreaks in Jiankang, Moling, Kuaiji, Wujun and other places. circulating."
Chen Xing frowned, Feng Qianjun described the condition of the plague. The disease came on inexplicably and without warning. Some people said that it was brought back by the Jin army sent to Maicheng on a mission, while others thought it was an ordinary plague. But the strange thing is that there were no dead people in the plague. Most of the sick people saved their lives, but they were accompanied by signs of sleepiness and bedridden.
"Is there a cure?" Chen Xing said.
Feng Qianjun was currently in Luoyang, Pingyang, and Youzhou to investigate the tombs of the kings, but he did not see it with his own eyes. He replied, "I heard that some people have recovered by themselves. It is said that if you get more sun exposure, you will gradually get better."
Xiang Shu thought for a while and said, "If you can do it well, it will be fine."
Feng Qianjun also visited people who recovered on their own, and found that the actions were as usual and there was no sign of becoming a living corpse, so he stayed on the sidelines for the time being. But as time passed, the plague turned out to be like a tuberculosis, not getting better or dying, and was slowly spreading to many cities south of the Yangtze River.
Chen Xing said: "It's not right to say that after all, we still have to go to see the patient as soon as possible." He said so, but he felt that he couldn't see anything.
Feng Qianjun said: "This brings up another problem."
"Also?!" Chen Xing said helplessly, "Can you finish it all at once?"
Feng Qianjun hurriedly gestured: "This matter has nothing to do with Chiyou Exorcist, it's from Xie Anshi, Lord Xie..."
As soon as he said this, the housekeeper next door suddenly shouted: "Master! Master! Come on!"
This shock was no small matter. The three were discussing the plague when they heard the sound of falling next door. Xiang Shu stood up instantly and rushed out like a gust of wind. Chen Xing sacrificed his heart lamp and followed.
I saw Xie An limping and getting off the couch, saying, "It's okay, it's just that my feet are numb after meditating for too long."
Everyone: "… "
"Thank you, sir," Feng Qianjun bowed and said, "Should you pay back the money?"
"What you said," Xie An pulled up the front of his robe and stumbled on the bed to look for shoes, "I have probably heard it. As for the money, I would like to ask Young Master Feng to give you a few more days of grace. You can see that I am getting older. startled…”
Chen Xing was at a loss, looked at Feng Qianjun, then Xie An, and said, "What? Is it the other way around? Senior brother, how much do you owe Brother Feng? How much?"
"Is he your senior brother?" Feng Qianjun said blankly, "Isn't your senior brother Wang Meng? How did you change into Xie An?"
Xie An explained: "It's like this..." After speaking, he sent the housekeeper away, and said to Feng Qianjun, "Since I know my junior brother and everyone is my own, how about I waive the money first?"
"My own fart!" Feng Qianjun said, "I said it well at the beginning, 700,000 taels of silver will support Beifu soldiers for you, and the IOUs are all in, and you will have to repay the debt in the spring of this year. I don't want the interest of 100,000 taels, thank you. My lord, you are so pitiful for our Xifeng Bank, the Chang'an property has been taken over, and there are still more places for Jiankang to make money, what do you want me to do?"
"Relieve your anger," Chen Xing hurriedly advised. "Everyone, look at my face, don't quarrel, there will always be money."
"That's right," Xiang Shu nodded in agreement, "Chen Xing will be standing on the road outside, and the money will come naturally."
