Han Shanhe finally understood why He Hanqing invited him here.
No matter how hard I thought about it, I never expected that He Hanqing would be assassinated, and the assassin was actually Bai Yixue, but Bai Yixue was now nominally his bodyguard...
After all, if He Hanqing doesn't look for himself, who will he look for
Han Shanhe took a long breath and said with a wry smile: "It turns out that He Lao came to me for this reason."
He Hanqing glanced at Han Shanhe with seemingly dim eyes, and said harmoniously: "There seems to be one less guard around Marshal Han."
Han Shanhe said happily: "Bai Yixue has indeed been my guard for three days."
He Hanqing chuckled: "Then, why does Marshal Han teach me?"
Han Shanhe smiled bitterly: "If I say that this matter has nothing to do with me, why would you believe me or not?!"
He Hanqing said: "I have often heard that Marshal Han is true to his words and has no regrets about his words. I shouldn't have doubts. If only Lao Chen's life is taken this time, that's fine. But the few righteous men around Lao Chen are determined to I don’t want to sit back and watch the old man die, and I don’t want to chill the heart of a righteous man, so I just made a lie and asked Marshal Han to come up with something that can make people believe it!"
Han Shanhe felt like he had a splitting headache.
What he just said "believe it or not" can be said to be his last struggle. He was betting that He Laohui would be jealous of his own identity and let go of questioning. He knew that the other party would definitely seek evidence, but he still wanted to take a chance. Unfortunately, it backfired. Investigation is still inevitable!
"According to Han Shuai, Bai Yixue only served as your bodyguard four days ago?" He Hanqing said: "I dare to ask Han Shuai, given Bai Yixue's identity and status, why would he be willing to act as your bodyguard?"
These words go straight to the point. With Bai Yixue's swordsmanship and status background, not to mention being a marshal's bodyguard, even important positions such as the protector of a country and the commander of the royal imperial army are not in his eyes. Isn't your profile, Han Shanhe, a little too awesome? Woolen cloth? !
Han Shanhe smiled bitterly: "At that time, he only said that he was entrusted by someone to protect my safety..."
He Hanqing said: "May I ask who entrusted you?"
"I don't know." When Han Shanhe said these two words, he almost closed his eyes and his heart was filled with bitterness. He knew that he had been severely tricked without even realizing it.
"You don't even know who sent him, yet Marshal Han is so relieved to keep him by his side." He Hanqing chuckled: "Is Marshal Han's heart big or broad?!"
Han Shanhe smiled bitterly: "I know this statement is difficult to believe, but it is the fact, and I have no other evidence!"
He Hanqing smiled slightly and said, "It seems like Marshal Han really has nothing else to say to me?"
Han Shanhe said sternly: "Mr. He, Han's life is not considered mediocre; the things he has really done are not to the point where he dares to do dirty things that he dares not admit. Han really has no knowledge of this matter. "
"No idea... Hahaha..." Mr. He smiled meaningfully and said: "So, Marshal Han has no idea where Bai Yixue has gone now?"
Han Shanhe sighed feebly.
No matter how you explain it now, it will be useless.
As far as the eye is concerned, facts speak louder than words. This huge black pot has been firmly placed on his back!
Seeing the coldness in Mr. He's eyes, Han Shanhe felt helpless in his heart. He stood up and left, saying: "That's all Han can say. If Mr. He has nothing else to do, Han will leave now. "
The two people behind He Hanqing showed sharp looks in their eyes, and said calmly: "Could it be that Marshal Han's men did such rebellious things? The Marshal only gave such a few words of painless explanation, and then thought Do you want to leave?"
Han Shanhe took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said: "Does Mr. He want to keep Han here today!?"
He Hanqing smiled faintly: "How could it be possible, seeing off guests."
Han Shanhe stood up and said goodbye.
He Hanqing didn't move, just sat there, and said in a conspiratorial manner: "I don't know when Marshal Han will return. The mountains are thousands of miles away, and the rivers and lakes are dangerous. Please take care of yourself along the way."
Han Shanhe paused for a moment. How could he not hear the strong threat in these words, he said lightly: "Thank you, Mr. He, for your concern." Han finally solemnly said: This matter indeed has nothing to do with Han. "
He Hanqing stopped talking, as if he hadn't heard anything, but a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
When Han Shanhe walked out of He Mansion, his entire face was dark.
How this kind of black and white injustice, this kind of inexplicable blame fell from the sky, is simply unbelievable and unbelievable.
But, who is scheming against him like this
"An old Confucian scholar who is no longer in his position... actually dares to threaten me like this... he really thinks he is a person..." Han Shanhe closed his eyes and sighed. I was thinking, should I return home early
Although He Hanqing has not been in the court for many years, his influence on the Yutang royal family is still considerable... If he had a few words of advice to His Majesty the Emperor, even though it would be impossible to kill him, it would make it difficult for him to move forward in the future.
With such an enemy coveting him in the dark, it would be difficult for him to accomplish anything in Yutang, and there would be no point in staying any longer.
Han Shanhe looked up to the sky and sighed. He had always been confident that he would be the first to predict the enemy's plan, and that he would make all his plans and make decisions before taking action. However, since he came to Yutang, he found that everything that happened was beyond his expectation.
And all the arrangements I had prepared in advance fell into place!
It was really the first time in Han Shanhe's life that he felt that his strength was exhausted, or that his strength was too much.
Subconsciously, he turned back to look at He Mansion, thinking about He Hanqing, which especially made Han Shanhe speechless. He didn't even understand who was plotting against him!
Those who participated in the gambling turmoil are now on their way back home. They are all on the road. Han Shanhe has no idea of their current situation at this moment. Even if I wanted to find someone to discuss it with, there was nowhere to ask.
…
That night.
Han Shanhe and the young man in black still grabbed the fishing rod and sat by the Baizhang Lake, fishing quietly.
After that, the eight guards were arranged in various directions to guard quietly.
The night was dark and quiet.
"Gu Gu, are you sure you can catch it?" Han Shanhe whispered: "It is said that Ling Xiaozui came here before and should have already caught it. With the habits of the unicorn fish, it is difficult for him to get hooked again in a short time. That makes sense!"
The dark-skinned face of the young man in black was full of confidence: "There are no absolutes in the world. Ling Xiao was able to succeed before he was drunk. He mostly relied on patience and luck. It is natural to get one but it is difficult to get two. It is indeed difficult for ordinary people to succeed again. I succeeded, but the bait I used was a special bait that my master had developed with great concentration for hundreds of years and was specially formulated for this strange fish. My master once caught more than a dozen unicorn fish in a row in Blackwater Lake in one day; The taste of this bait is an irresistible temptation for unicorn fish, and it will never be missed.”
"That's good."
"It's a pity that the unicorn fish in the Blackwater Lake is difficult to harvest. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to travel across mountains and rivers to get here." Gu Gu, the young man in black, said regretfully
Han Shanhe also regretted: "Heishui Lake has lost its lineage of unicorn fish from now on!"
The young man in black said anciently: "It's not likely to become extinct. There is still a fish king in the Blackwater Lake, and there is still room for reproduction. It's a pity that the fish king's level cannot be caught no matter what. Otherwise, if we can get the unicorn fish, King, it is more than a hundred times better than the ordinary unicorn fish."
Hanshan Hedao: "There is another saying..."
The young man in black Gu Gu sighed: "The bait secretly prepared by the master contains the fragrance of fish soul. Except for the King Fish, it is an irresistible fatal temptation for other unicorn fish, so we just need to be patient. No matter what, it will always be There are unicorn fish that can take the bait."
Han Shanhe's face, which had been gloomy for many days, finally showed some smile: "That's good. Once we get the unicorn fish, we will return immediately!"
…
"Fishing in Baizhang Lake?" Yun Yang stared at the news from the Nine Heavens Order in his hand.
Han Shanhe went fishing in Baizhang Lake... He came all the way, but now he goes fishing every day. How can he have so much leisure
But Yun Yang understood in a flash.
The fundamental purpose of fishing in Baizhang Lake must be unicorn fish!
I just didn't expect that one of Han Shanhe's major goals in coming to Yutang would be this!
Yun Yang stood up, took a few steps, and frowned.
Based on what he knows and the habits of the unicorn fish that Ling Xiaozui described that day, he has already caught the unicorn fish in Baizhang Lake once, and there is no chance that it will be hooked by anyone else in a short period of time.
However, it is impossible for Han Shanhe not to know this, but he still tries. He must have something to rely on. He is not afraid of anything but ten thousand.
If there is an eventuality, the consequences will be long!
All in all, Yun Yang didn't want Han Shanhe to accomplish anything in Yutang.
What he wants to accomplish is what Yun Yang wants to destroy!
After thinking for a while, Yun Yang's body turned into a ball of smoke and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
There was only a faint sound of wind in the sky.
…
In Baizhang Lake, bursts of strange fragrance gradually spread in the water...
Deep in the water, there was already a faint rainbow flickering.
The unicorn fish has already moved out faintly.
The wind blows.
There was an almost inaudible sound in the distance, as if something had entered the water.
Han Shanhe frowned and said, "Why does it seem like someone went into the water?"
A guard behind him bowed and said: "The commander has good hearing. It is true that someone jumped into the water on the other side of the shore. But there is a space of ten miles between the other side, so the impact is slight. The commander does not need to worry too much."
Han Shanhe nodded and continued fishing.
The young man in black looked even more calm and composed. His thin body was shrouded in a wide black robe. His whole body was like a statue, and he seemed to have no sound of breathing at all.
At this point in fishing, the number of ordinary fish biting the hook like crazy has become less and less; it has been half an hour since the last time I succeeded, and the float has not moved.
Han Shanhe and the young man in black were both concentrating on it and knew clearly in their hearts; in this case, it was probably because the unicorn fish in the water had already begun to move out.
The divine fish moves out, while the ordinary fish retreat.
In other words, it’s only a matter of seconds before the unicorn fish takes the bait!
