The more Su Yixiu spoke, the more she felt that something was wrong. She looked at Lu Heng with an unpredictable expression. The appearance is similar to the woman of unknown origin, and the age is similar to that of the Changping County Master.
She finally couldn't help but ask, "Sister Miao, is your father a Han Chinese?"
Seeing her being cautious, for fear of offending him, Lu Heng said indifferently, "My father is not from Miao, I have never met him, but I only know that A-Niang met a Lu in the Central Plains. surnamed son."
"Then?" Su Yixiu said hesitantly.
"This time Ah Heng came to China to find his father." Duan Feiqing said.
Lu Heng suddenly raised the corners of his lips and smiled softly: "We Miao people hate the most unfortunate people. At the time, my mother was soft-hearted, and she didn't make love to that son surnamed Lu. I came to the Central Plains this time, but for the sake of My aunt is asking for an explanation, if it's excusable, that's all, if it's a deliberate deception..."
Lu Heng and Duan Feiqing sang in harmony, making Su Yixiu stunned for a moment. Su Yixiu had always been in awe of the Miao Border Gu technique, but now he was shocked by Lu Heng's gloomy expression and the unfinished meaning of his words. King Anping was his uncle anyway. For the sake of his life, Su Yixiu told the whole story of the past.
The King of Anping was born by the first empress, and he was also a stunning figure when he was young. Noble blood, direct son, and outstanding talent, the position of this prince should have fallen to his head no matter what. However, King Anping had a fatal flaw. He was born with a heart disease, and the imperial doctor concluded that he would not survive the weak years. No matter what the reason was, the late emperor handed thousands of miles of land into the hands of a short-lived prince.
Out of pity for his heir, the late emperor sealed his hereditary prince, and left behind a decree that even if he committed a serious crime, the king of Anping could not be killed. After the current saint ascended the throne, he was tolerant towards this weak younger brother who had no threat at all.
But he didn't want King Anping. Although he was bedridden all the year round, he had lived through his weak years. Among those old-fashioned old officials, the argument about King Enping's renaming was justifiable again. For King Anping. This is not a good thing, but a reminder.
Perhaps in order to dispel the doubts of the current sage, King Anping took the initiative to marry a Jianghu woman who had no foundation in the court.
Su Yixiu saw that Lu Heng's expression didn't change, he just looked down at the wine glass in his hand, and continued: "Actually, it was my aunt who fell in love with King Anping at first sight. When my uncle came to the door for the first time to propose marriage, King Anping refused. He said he planned to become a monk. Later, he agreed for some reason.”
"You mean, didn't King Anping deceive the princess and deceive my aunt?" Lu Heng finally spoke.
Su Yixiu was stunned for a moment, she felt a little dry mouth, drank the wine in one gulp, and said somewhat uncertainly: "Actually, I don't understand my own feelings. From my standpoint, King Anping has failed me. Aunt. I have seen King Anping several times, and I always feel that a person like him would not do such a thing."
After eating and drinking, Su Yixiu returned to the Lin family. However, Lu Heng and Duan Feiqing booked a room in Zuixianlou. After all, it was still inconvenient to stay at the Lin family. The two of them summed up and decided to visit Anping's mansion at night while King Anping did not return to the mansion.
After the third watch, the city of Kyoto fell into a deep sleep. Two vigorous silhouettes flashed across the roof. Under Duan Feiqing's care, Lu Heng was barely able to keep up with his pace. The two did not break in rashly, placing Lu Heng on a big tree, and Duan Feiqing went to the surrounding of the palace alone to explore the truth.
Lu Heng stayed where he was, and took out the two leaves specially made for expelling Gu from the small cloth bag around his waist. The emerald green leaves pressed against the rosy lips, and after a while, small silver snakes swam towards the palace.
"Ah Heng, I've been waiting for a long time." Duan Feiqing's voice suddenly appeared behind Lu Heng, "I just checked around the palace and found that there are many secret guards in this palace, especially near the backyard, there are several internal forces. Strong breath."
Lu Heng was surprised that he actually returned faster than his snake gu. It seems that Duan Feiqing's Heavenly Demon Heart Sutra has improved a lot in just a few days. Just thinking that the more the Heavenly Demon Heart Sutra was cultivated to a higher realm, the more violent and murderous desire in his heart, Lu Heng couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Have you made further progress in the practice of the Heavenly Demon Heart Sutra?"
Duan Feiqing understood Lu Heng's mind immediately, he embraced Lu Heng from behind and whispered in his ear, "Don't worry, because my brother has now discovered an excellent way to eliminate the tyranny and thirst for murder. "
"what?"
"It's enough to transform this tyrannical and murderous desire into other desires. For example, lust. But, I will ask Ah Heng to help me as a brother."
Is this man addicted to pretending to be a brother? Lu Heng pushed his elbow back a little angrily.
Lu Heng really covered his ears and looked back, glaring at him, and at that moment he clearly felt wetness on the tips of his ears. He finally couldn't help but scolded: "Dengzizi."
There was a rustling sound from under the tree, and all the snake gu had returned.
After the little snakes all returned to Lu Heng's wrists and ankles, he said: "Those who are guarding secretly have fascination Gu on their bodies, and they are people in black from a mysterious organization, and they are also high-ranking people in the organization. people."
"It seems a little difficult to sneak into this palace without knowing it." Duan Feiqing frowned. It is almost impossible to completely avoid the guards, and it is not difficult to solve them, but it will cause the palace to be alert.
"Since they have fascinated gods on them, and the person who controls them is not here, I can still take over these worms for a while, but when I control the gu, I have no time to distract myself, so I will trouble you to act as a mount for the time being."
The mount, Duan Feiqing was in a trance for a moment, always feeling that it was not the first time that he had acted as Lu Heng's mount. However, Duan Feiqing sank behind his back, and his thoughts were interrupted. He took advantage of the situation to hold up Lu Heng's buttocks: "I can't ask for it."
The two cooperated tacitly, and Lu Heng manipulated the fascination Gu to make the man in black fall into a trance, and Duan Feiqing led him away. He quickly entered the most closely guarded place, King Anping's study.
In the study, after a cursory search, the two found nothing.
It was Duan Feiqing who was very experienced, and soon found a secret door behind the bookshelf. It's just that the secret door is made of black iron, which is extremely thick. If it is forcibly broken, it will definitely attract the attention of the guards in the palace.
Above the secret door, there is a dent, which should be the key to open it. Lu Heng only felt that the pattern was very familiar. He stared at it for a long time, then raised his hand and took off the silver jewelry that he had been wearing on his left ear.
"This is a relic left to me by my mother. When she was alive, she always wore this lonely earring on her ear. I didn't expect this other one to be in the hands of King Anping." Lu Heng finished and put the earring on. embedded in the dent.
The secret door opened.
As soon as the door opened, Lu Heng and Duan Feiqing were stunned for a moment. Because in the secret room behind the door, a portrait of a woman was hung on the wall. The woman was dressed as a Miao family, with a blue tie-dyed dress and silver ornaments all over her body. The frowns and smiles of the women in these paintings are very vivid, which shows how full of friendship the painters poured into the paintings.
Duan Feiqing guessed the woman's identity as soon as he saw these portraits, because the woman's similar face was deeply imprinted in his heart. Lu Heng's face is almost identical to the woman in the painting. The difference between those Xu is just that the woman in the painting is soft and moving, while Lu Heng's aura is more androgynous and heroic.
Lu Heng looked around the secret room with his chest in his arms, and sneered: "Since you deceived A-Niang at the beginning, why do you have to be so affectionate now? It's ridiculous."
In addition to these portraits, the two found key evidence on the desk. Although it has long been suspected that the person behind the scenes is King Anping, these evidences finally connect many things together.
Perhaps because he was too confident in the tight defense outside the secret room, King Anping recorded almost everything about him on letterhead. All letters are addressed to Arrow.
At that time, after the current sage made a murderous attempt, King Anping was indeed preparing to become a monk, but he came to the Lin family to say his relatives. King Anping had no intention of this, and categorically refused. However, a few days later, the head of the Lin family came to visit with a broken map of mountains and rivers.
"The head of the Lin family has so many fragments in his hands." Duan Feiqing frowned. According to the description in the letter, the head of the Lin family has collected most of the fragments of the mountain and river catalogue. It seems that many of the former troops of the former dynasty died in the hands of the Lin family.
The head of the Lin family is a wise man. He knows that the foundation of the Song Dynasty is now solid, and it is not easy to overthrow its rule. However, he was not willing to only make achievements in the rivers and lakes, so he used the catalogue of mountains and rivers as a bargaining chip and chose King Anping as his partner.
King Anping is indeed the most suitable candidate. In the hearts of many senior officials in the court, this King of Anping is the orthodox. If King Anping took the throne, there would not be much backlash. As for the Lin family, it is from the dragon's work, one step to the sky.
The unwillingness that King Anping buried deep in his heart was finally aroused. Born in the family of an emperor, there are a few people who can't think of the supreme position. What's more, King Anping was the most justifiable person who should be in that position. Now, he can only hide in Buddhism like a bereaved dog and live in secret.
This made him, how can he be reconciled. He saw the use of him by the Lin family. Anping Wang pushes the boat along the river, but it's just mutual use, it's up to who can laugh at the end. As expected by the head of the Lin family, he married the daughter of the Lin family, promising her the position of queen in the future, and gradually gaining the trust of the head of the Lin family.
The acquaintance with Nadolo was carefully planned by King Anping. Everything after that is under his control, including the smooth acquisition of the golden silkworm Gu, the sacred artifact of Miao Border. Golden Silkworm Gu is the most important part of his plan, not only to heal his heart disease, but also to completely control all power in his hands.
The only miscalculation of King Anping is that he truly fell in love with Nadolo. The king of Anping, who was reckless, only left out his sincerity.
