The people who spoke outside were actually talking in the language of the Xiongnu
This surprise is no small matter.
Under the surprise, Lu Jinxi almost exclaimed, only to feel that her heartbeat stopped for a moment.
The wind whimpered in the rain, and after a while, those voices were drowned out and could no longer be heard. She couldn't tell if they had gone too far or had stopped talking.
In order to prevent being discovered, she forcibly calmed down and walked back quietly.
People went to sleep on the bed, and their minds were already in a mess.
The mysteries and clues from these days have all emerged in my memory, intertwined with each other, but I can't sort out a clear clue...
Negotiate.
envoy.
Huns.
Sheng Longchang.
Mountain bandit.
robbery.
From a single point of view, everyone and everything that happened seems to be extremely normal, and I don't think there is any unknown connection between them.
But after judging that the outsiders were speaking the Xiongnu language...
Everything becomes unusual.
Why did the two brothers Shenglong and Hongshengxuan split up
How could Nansheng Longchang have anything to do with these Xiongnu speakers
as well as-
They kidnapped her for what purpose
Vaguely, that disturbing premonition is getting stronger and stronger.
Lu Jinxi opened her eyes, but she couldn't fall asleep.
She faintly felt that she had missed something very important, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't remember it at all.
The oil lamps in the house are very dim, making the barren mountains and ridges even more cold.
It's cold outside.
Just as Lu Jinxi suspected, the speaker had already moved towards the further corridor.
There was no light at night, so the surroundings were a little blurry.
But even so, it can be seen that this is a very old house, it should be some rich families who went to the mountain to stay in the summer camp, but it was in disrepair and no one lived there.
The eaves and walls are all in ruins.
The mysterious man who was talking to Lu Jinxi in the house earlier walked along the corridor that was dripping with rain, followed by two people.
One was a former scribe in blue, with a calm expression;
One person was wearing a Xiongnu robe, stained with blood, his face was pale, and there was still unabated panic and fear in his demeanor.
Not to mention the other two, the last person, what do you think, how does he have a sense of the rest of his life.
In fact it is.
This person is not someone else, but Huyanqi, an envoy who entered Beijing with the Xiongnu Peace Mission a few months ago.
Although he is out of danger now, when he looks back on it now, he still feels a chill behind his back, and the two battles—he is only half a step away from the Lord of Hell!
"Master Huyan, are you feeling better?"
The scribe in the blue shirt walked and glanced sideways at Huyanqi, with a smile that was not a smile.
Huyanqi hurriedly bowed his head and said with sincerity and fear: "It's better, it's better, thanks to you and Master Lan's clever plan, the princess was prepared to prevent the villain from this calamity. The villain is grateful, and I can't repay it if I die..."
The man who was previously called "Lord Lan" didn't look back, but said: "It's just a coincidence, I was supposed to report the cooperation with Sheng Longchang to the mission, but I didn't expect to save you on the way. "
"Yes Yes Yes."
Huyanqi didn't dare to take a breath, hearing this, his eyelids jumped wildly.
Who can guess what happened to him
The envoy of the Huns had only left the Great Xia capital for two days! On the way, they were intercepted and killed, and the officials who escorted and the envoys of the Xiongnu were almost dead.
Only if he was lucky enough to meet the person who happened to meet Lord Lan Qu, would he save his life.
However, Huyanqi still had doubts that could not be solved.
He quietly raised his eyes and looked at the man's back, only to feel that the whole person was put into the oil pan, he hesitated for a long time, and then asked tremblingly: "Lord Lan, the people who came to kill the mission this time are not ordinary, It doesn't look like an ordinary mountain bandit. When the two countries negotiated peace, and the mission was about to return, this kind of thing happened in Daxia. So, who did it?"
The green-shirted scholar next to him squinted slightly when he heard the words, looking a little unpredictable.
The "Lord Lanqu" in front of him laughed quietly: "Reconciliation is something that both countries hope for, but this interception occurred in Daxia. The Xiongnu have not yet been able to achieve this in Daxia. Xia has the ability to kill, right? So this massacre must have been done by Da Xia. It’s just that the odd thing is here, the matter of negotiation is established, why did they, or the murderer, have to do it?”
Yep, that's what he's asking.
Huyanqi was a little dumbfounded.
He was suffocated, and there was a vague feeling of trembling, because he thought of a certain person, a very dangerous, very dangerous person.
Suddenly, the man in front of him stopped.
Huyanqi was startled again.
As soon as he looked up, he found that the other party turned his head to look at him, and there was a kind of oppression and suspicion in those dark and dark eyes.
"Those who do this either want to provoke war, or they want to..."
He opened his mouth slowly, stared at Huyanqi, smiled slowly, and continued with the thrilling four words—
"Murder and kill!"
Huyanqi just felt as if someone had hit him in the head.
The cold sweat on his forehead kept coming out again, and in the blink of an eye, various scenes from the previous conversation with that person in the capital flashed back to his eyes again, causing him to tremble violently.
The originally pale complexion now looks even more like a piece of paper!
The scribe in blue chuckled lightly beside him: "Oh, seeing Lord Huyan so nervous, doesn't he know something?"
Huyanqi's legs were weak, and he didn't stand still.
I don't know why, I sat on the ground with a "dong", and there was infinite panic and fear in his eyes, but he shouted: "It's him, it's him, it must be him!!!"
The flustered voice spread far away.
The man who looked at him frowned slightly, shook his head, and only waved his hand towards a figure hidden in the darkness in the corridor not far away.
Someone came over there immediately and carried Huyanqi to the room.
When the person left, the scribe in the blue shirt raised his eyebrows and sneered in a disdainful manner: "This is too useless, I haven't caused him any injuries or suffering, so I'm scared like this. But it's okay. , now the generals don't have to worry, this plan kills two birds with one stone, and both goals are achieved."
"It's just a little trick."
The man didn't care much, and didn't express any opinion on the scribe's title of "general", as if he was used to it. He just turned around and looked at the rain curtain in the dark, unpredictable.
"Sir, you say, how will our 'big enemy' deal with it?"
Gu Juefei
After listening to this, the scholar in green shirt was silent for a while, and after thinking for a while, he finally shook his head: "After your accident, this one fell out with Grand Master Gu, so he was expelled from the house by Master Grand Master. Ding Yi lived for six years, and only went down the mountain a while ago, and now he is in charge of the affairs of Fanbang after the peace talks. The subordinates feel that Madam’s appearance in Baoding this time may…”
Having said that, I suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
He raised his eyes and glanced at the person in front of him who was looking at the rain, but for some reason, he stopped.
Who dares to go on
Six years ago, Gu Juefei, who was nothing, almost lost his life, forcing him to feign death and escape the Xiongnu. The plan that had been in preparation for many years was directly aborted!
Now we have finally got a good opportunity, and the Xiongnu in the Xia Dynasty have to negotiate for peace again!
If only these were enough.
After all, this is because Xue Kuang and Gu Juefei have different positions and goals, and they are considered public; but now, Gu Juefei, a hypocrite and cunning person, just accepted Xue Chi as a student, and he is still unclear about his wife!
Is this something people can endure? !
So after a while, he added: "If he knew that Madam had an accident, he should have come. It's just that this person has many tricks, and I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with."
The man didn't respond.
Gu Juefei's wit, he has already experienced it.
He still remembers the fiasco six years ago. There is no open struggle, only a dark battle without the smoke of gunpowder. It's just that he didn't think about it at all, this eldest son who was born in the Taishi's mansion would be so ruthless...
In order to achieve the goal, it is really unscrupulous.
"And wait and see."
In the end, he didn't say anything more, just withdrew his gaze at the rain screen and slowly paced towards the house on the other side.
The scribe in blue stood in place for a while, but his face became dignified rarely.
On rainy nights, there is always silence in the hustle and bustle.
Even in the prosperous capital, after entering the night, in such a rare late spring torrential rain, it had to restrain the fire tree silver flower, the star bridge iron cable.
Taishi's mansion, in another courtyard.
It was already late, but Gu Juefei hadn't rested yet.
There are bright lights on the table and the outside, and there is a violin on the piano platform. It looks like a new one. He is tuning the strings, and there are intermittent sounds.
The puppy I picked up from the street two months ago has grown a lot by this time. Probably because its owner with the same name was well fed and looked soft, plump and fluffy.
At this moment, Gu Juefei was tuning the piano over there, and it nestled lazily at his feet.
One person and one dog seem to have a special fit.
The man in black who was standing in the room had already informed the situation. After waiting for a long time, he did not hear Gu Juefei's words. His heart suddenly became uneasy, and there was a thin sweat on his forehead.
He was a little suspicious that the other party had heard clearly what he had just reported.
So he quietly raised his head and took a look.
Gu Juefei was still tuning the piano.
It was neither salty nor bland, neither showing mountains nor dew, and there was no depth to it.
After a long time, until the string of the violin was adjusted, he raised his head, glanced at the man in black, and asked in a low voice, "You mean, when you went, all the members of the Xiongnu embassy were already there. Dead light, only one Huyanqi ran away?"
"… Yes."
For some reason, the man's voice was rather difficult to answer.
The scene at that time is still vivid.
They were ordered by the eldest son. They originally wanted to quietly follow the Xiongnu mission all the way. After crossing the border, they started and completed the task according to the eldest son's plan.
But who would have thought that something would happen on the third day!
When they arrived, the Hun envoys were all dead, and their bodies covered in blood or with their limbs chopped off were lying on the road, like hell on earth!
Looking at the ruthlessness of the wound and the shot, it is by no means good.
At first they thought everyone was dead, but after checking the list, they found that there was only one missing among the many corpses.
That is Huyanqi.
Coincidentally, it happened to be the person they were going to kill!
It's all right now, the eldest son has not completed the task assigned by him, and he also discovered that the Hun envoys were slaughtered.
The negotiating mission was killed in Daxia, it was about to pierce the sky!
Only they know the news now.
But if you think about it with your toes, you can understand that they came back early. When the people who have traveled discovered this matter and reported it back to the capital, what kind of stormy waves would be set off!
The matter of peace was finally settled, and what kind of crisis will it fall into now
The dead men understood such a simple truth, but how could Gu Juefei not understand it
He slowly closed his eyes, his slender fingers hooked on the strings, and he pulled out a somewhat harsh piano sound, and his heart was already filled with depression.
"The mountains and the rain are coming and the wind is filling the building..."
The dead man did not dare to speak.
After a while, Gu Juefei said, "Go down."
It was an unexpected thing. At the critical moment, someone took a step ahead of him, rescued Huyanqi, and directly destroyed the Xiongnu mission in Daxia...
This is obviously to favor him, Gu Juefei.
The thoughts in my mind kept flipping and flipping, and finally turned into an almost impossible guess!
He suddenly opened his eyes.
Under the light of the lamp, it was like a fire!
Gu Juefei left Qin with ten fingers, got up directly, and shouted to the outside: "Meng Ji!"
"Squeak", the door opened.
Meng Ji came in and passed by the dead man who had just left. He raised his eyes and saw Gu Juefei's expression. He only felt that there was an unprecedented edge revealed, but it was vaguely solemn.
He was a little strange: "Is there anything the eldest son has ordered?"
Gu Juefei only said: "Send a few capable sentries to go to Baoding quickly."
