"What I know." Duan Ling said, "I don't know much more than everyone here. Could it be that Lord Wuluohou came to kill Amugu?"
Duan Ling said a word, and threw the hot potato back easily, Zheng Yan laughed.
"Interesting." Wu Du said coldly.
On the night that Amugu left, Changliu-jun listened to the whole process, but Duan Ling didn't know whether Zheng Yan heard it or not, guessing that he should also feel a little inside.
Lang Junxia replied lightly: "This joke can't be played indiscriminately, Mr. Wang."
Wu Dudao: "I'm afraid that some things may sound like a joke, but in fact it's not a joke, Lord Wuluohou..."
When Wu Du said this, he spread out his hand towards Duan Ling, Duan Ling looked dazed.
Wu Du pointed to Duan Ling's arms, and Duan Ling only understood this, took out the golden pill and placed it in Wu Du's palm. Wu Du grabbed Jin Wan, stepped forward, and politely said to Lang Junxia, "I have offended you, Lord Wuluohou."
Duan Ling froze in his heart and was about to stop Wu Du, but when he saw that Jin Wu touched Lang Junxia's body, he got in through his collar.
Changliu-jun couldn't help but feel a chill, but Zheng Yan didn't react at all, obviously he was used to Wu Du's style. It was only then that Duan Ling realized that the Wu Du who he got along with many times was not the Wu Du in everyone's eyes. It's just that he was used to Wu Du's loyal and harmless side.
"You'd better not move." Wu Du said, "Don't even think about taking hostages or anything. With a little force, the poison of the Golden Crow will paralyze your whole body, faster than you can do it."
After speaking, Wu Du got up and walked out of the room.
Changliujun and Zheng Yan looked at each other, and also got up and went out, knowing that Wu Unique wanted to discuss with them, and did not want Lang Junxia to know.
Duan Ling was apprehensive, but when he was about to get up, Wu Du turned around, glanced at Duan Ling through the open door, shook his head slightly, and motioned him not to come over.
Duan Ling knew that Wu Du would tell him after these words that he was not allowed to go out now, just wanted him to leave the relationship temporarily.
Zheng Yan closed the door with his hand, and the three assassins walked to a remote part of the courtyard. Wu Du pondered for a long time, but did not speak. The three had different thoughts, but Changliu-jun's eyes were erratic and seemed to be completely out of state.
The afternoon light shone in through the window panes and crossed in front of Duan Ling and Lang Junxia. There was a faint light in the light, like an ever-changing kaleidoscope, reflecting the light blocked by the crystal snowflakes outside the room.
The scattered light and shadow reminded Duan Ling of the flying reed flowers and the dim lights when Lang Junxia walked out of the firewood house holding him that night.
Now, there are only two of them left.
"Why did you do this?" Duan Ling could finally ask.
"How to do it?"
Lang Junxia replied, he didn't look at Duan Ling's eyes again, just stared at Duan Ling's robe, which was embroidered with the totem of the Dangxiang people - geese. The geese come south in autumn and fly north in spring, always remembering the way home.
"Why did you attack Xunchun when you were in Beijing?" Duan Ling said, "Why did you kill me when you returned to Xichuan?"
Duan Ling knew that no matter how much he asked, he would never get any answer, but he always had to say these words, even if he could not get an answer.
"Why did you poison me?" Duan Ling said, "Why did you throw me into the river..."
"Because you believe in the wrong person, I'm Wuluohoumu, not Lang Junxia." Lang Junxia suddenly raised his eyes to look at Duan Ling's eyes, replied, and regained his usual calm. As soon as those words came out, Duan Ling suddenly felt that this was no longer the Lang Junxia he knew. Or maybe he has always been like this, only when he was in Beijing to accompany him, did he become another person.
Wuluohoumu and Lang Junxia, which one is the real him
"I'm here to kill you." Lang Junxia said lightly, "Since you believe me, you must be prepared to be betrayed by me."
Duan Ling was shocked and stared at Lang Junxia.
"Because of hatred?" Duan Ling whispered.
"Forty years ago, the Marquis of Wuluo was broken." Lang Junxia replied in a low voice, "The royal family took me to the Xianbei Mountains, where I lived to survive. The Han and Yuan people came again, bloodbathed my village, and slaughtered me. The clansmen. Seeing each other happily, it was originally our song."
Duan Ling: "..."
"It tells about waiting in the place where the peach blossoms are in full bloom, waiting for your lover to return." Lang Junxia raised his head slightly, looked at Duan Ling with an inexplicable taste in his eyes, and said, "Duan Ling, when you grew up, before I often tell you that there are some things that you will know in the future, but then I still feel that there are some things that you should not know."
Duan Ling's breathing was suffocated.
"Then you... why didn't you kill me in the first place?" Duan Ling asked.
"Because you were still useful when you were young." Lang Junxia said, "What can your father do when he is alone? Only after your father and son return to Nanchen and take power, can I use this to restore the country."
"That's why you thought I was dead." Duan Ling said in a trembling voice, "I only supported Cai Yan to become the crown prince. What exchange conditions do you have?"
Lang Junxia laughed, without saying a word, his eyes lowered again, staring at Duan Ling's robe.
The courtyard was filled with snow and rustling.
There were a lot of snowflakes on the three people's heads and shoulders.
"You can't attack him." Changliujun said, "He is the crown prince Taibao, the second rank, who kills the court officials without authorization, and everyone here will be implicated."
"Allow me to ask." Zheng Yan said, "Is what Amugu said true?"
Wu Du glanced at Zheng Yan, and stopped talking to Lord Changliu, Zheng Yan said, "If you still want to hide from me, I will pretend not to know, but you have to tell Wuluohou Mu. If you do it, you have to make it clear, otherwise I won't be able to take care of it for you."
"What are you doing here?" Changliu-jun asked.
Zheng Yan replied nonchalantly, "Didn't you say it earlier?"
"I said you came to Yecheng." Lord Changliu said again.
"Your Majesty's secret order." Zheng Yan replied, "I can't tell you."
Lord Changliu sneered, and Wu Du thought about it again and again, and said, "The prince is fake, and Changpin has found evidence, and the evidence is in Luoyan City."
As soon as these words came out, Changliujun was shocked, as if he did not expect Wu Du to say it like this.
"You said that." Changliujun said coldly, "Wu Du, I didn't say anything."
"It doesn't matter." Wu Du replied, "Of course I said it. If the Prime Minister has something to say, let him come to me."
Zheng Yan didn't seem surprised and asked, "Where is it really?"
"I don't know." Wu Du replied.
"Where's the evidence?" Zheng Yan asked again.
"The evidence is personal." Wu Du replied, "You'd better not worry too much, Zheng Yan, just pretend you don't know."
Zheng Yan's identity is more sensitive than the others. After all, in addition to his loyalty to Li Yanqiu, there is another force behind him: Yao Fu, Hou of Huaiyin.
If Yao Fu knew about this matter, it would be even more incredible, because it was because of Changliu Jun that Wu Du's words were inappropriate.
"Changliu-kun will try to bring back the witnesses." Wu Du said, "As for how to solve this matter, it all depends on the minister. Wuluohou Mu came all the way, and he must have found the news and wanted to kill people. , it's just that we found witnesses first and arrested him again. What to do now, we have to give an explanation from the three of us, this matter has nothing to do with Wang Shan, and he doesn't have to be involved."
"How much did he know about what happened?" Zheng Yan asked.
"That night, he was also by the river." Wu Du said, "The knowledge of the truth stops there. Wang Shan has never been to Luoyan City, he has always been in Ye City, and now only the three of us are standing in this courtyard. "
Both Zheng Yan and Changliu-jun knew that Wu Du was determined to keep Wang Shan. After all, this incident was very penetrating. Under Li Yanqiu's anger, many people might be jointly and severally responsible.
"When Wuluohoumu brought the prince back, I felt it was inappropriate." Changliujun said, "It stands to reason that a person who has gone through hardships and returned to the court should bring up the past from time to time, but the prince rarely talks about it. In the past, for fear of saying more and more mistakes, someone caught the loophole."
"Does Your Majesty know about this?" Wu Du asked.
Zheng Yan hesitated for a long time, then slowly shook his head, wondering if it was "I don't know" or "I don't know if he knows".
"If that's the case," Zheng Yan said, "Wuluohou Mu can't be killed. He is the most important witness. If you kill him here, you will have no proof when you go back."
Wu Du and Changliu-jun were silent again. It was indeed as Zheng Yan said, that the guy in the room could not be simply killed. Once the mastermind who forged the identity of the prince died, there would be no proof when he returned. Li Yanqiu found out that Wuluohoumu died at the hands of the three of them, but instead it seemed that Mu Kuangda was in charge and promoted all this.
"Can't you testify?" Changliu-jun asked.
Zheng Yan replied: "Of course not, what are you thinking. I'm not the party involved."
Inside the room, the snow outside gradually stopped.
Duan Ling was silent for a long time. This was his expected answer, but he ruthlessly tore open the illusion of warmth in Shangjing over the past few years and presented him with a real and bloody reason.
"So those are all fakes." Duan Ling said, "If you treat me well, they are all fakes."
"It's fake." Lang Junxia raised his eyes again and looked at Duan Ling, and replied, "Your father said it right, you can't believe me, so you believed the wrong person. I also asked you not to repay me, just because you were in Beijing. At that time, I didn’t treat you with sincerity, but I just wanted to use your father and son to carry out my grand plan to restore the country, even if it didn’t work, I also borrowed your hand to take revenge on the Han people, so that you and the Yuan people would lose both.”
"The Cai family was killed by your countermeasures." Lang Junxia added, "He hates you Nan Chen, and he hates Yuan Ren. Since you are dead, I have nowhere to stay. It is better to let him replace you and sit there. position."
He looked at Duan Ling seriously, and after a long time said: "I didn't expect you to come back and grow up, but this mistake has been made, and there is no other choice."
The sky and the earth were white, and his thoughts returned to the frozen Yellow River thousands of miles away, and the jade-carved wilderness. He once curled up in front of Lang Junxia, feeling his body temperature, hearing his heartbeat, from a dark and hopeless dream. Leaving in the middle and entering the bright and bright world.
"I don't believe it." Duan Ling said.
Lang Junxia lowered his eyebrows and replied lightly, "It's up to you, I've said everything that needs to be said."
"This is the answer I want." Duan Ling looked at Lang Junxia seriously and said in a deep voice, "It's not your truth."
Duan Ling sat in front of Lang Junxia, and when he said this, he vaguely exuded a long-lost majesty and momentum.
"You are different from other people when you lie." Duan Ling said, "You will look into the other person's eyes and lie, but when you tell the truth, your eyes will avoid the other person's line of sight. Because you are used to hiding yourself. …”
At this moment, Wu Du pushed open the door and came in, and the room was instantly bright.
