Lang Junxia didn't speak, and at the end, Yao Zheng said again: "You stay in Huaiyin, I'll go and ask daddy to intercede for you, no one can move you here."
"Some kindness can only be understood by heart." Lang Junxia's voice came from below, saying, "Jiangzhou has something to do, it is my destiny to face it."
Yao Zheng's voice said again: "It's over, can't you come?"
Lang Junxia replied: "One wrong step, one wrong step, I have no choice."
"What's wrong." Yao Zheng said, "I don't think my cousin is alive and well? If it wasn't for you..."
"Forget it." Lang Junxia said.
Yao Zheng didn't mention it anymore, and said, "Four years ago, when you came to Huaiyin, what news did you bring?"
"Your Majesty asked me to go back to Xichuan." Lang Junxia replied, "Investigate the movements of Zhao Kui and Mu Kuangda. If necessary, you can temporarily break into the other party's command and wait for orders. In the blink of an eye, it has been four years."
"I still remember when you came to Huaiyin that year." Yao Zheng said, "People are also good, and your fingers are not broken. When I see you in Xichuan, it will be different."
"It's still the same." Lang Junxia said lightly, "Over the years, what I've been thinking about is still the same."
"I'm sorry." Yao Zheng said suddenly.
On the second floor, Wu Dudeng looked surprised, as if he didn't believe Yao Zheng would take the initiative to apologize. Duan Ling had a questioning look in his eyes, and Wu Du shook his head, motioning to talk about it later.
"It's all over." Lang Junxia smiled, "Don't mention it."
"If I hadn't been angry with you," Yao Zheng said, "I wouldn't have..."
"It's destined." Lang Junxia replied, "You're not married yet?"
"Marrying and marrying, they are urging me to marry." Yao Zheng's face changed, and he said in a fit of anger, "What's your business?"
Lang Junxia didn't ask any more questions, but Yao Zheng had little interest. After sitting for a while, he got up and left. Lang Junxia got up and followed.
Duan Ling looked out, did not expect Lang Junxia and Yao Zheng to come and go quickly. I saw Yao Zheng on the shore getting on the horse, ignoring Lang Junxia, and walking away. Lang Junxia stood on the side of the road for a while, but instead of getting on the horse, he led the horse and slowly left the pier.
One person and one horse, Duan Ling leaned in front of the bar and looked out, feeling an indescribable melancholy.
"Wu Du?"
"Nothing." Wu Du shook his head, seeming to be immersed in his memories.
"Do Yao Zheng and Lang Junxia know each other?" Duan Ling was a little surprised. Wu Du didn't know either, but listening to their conversation, the two seemed to have met before. It should be that year when my father sent Lang Junxia to the south to investigate the news.
"It's getting late, go back." Wu Du said.
The two left the painting boat and went back to Yao Mansion. On the way, Duanling remembered the spring when he was separated from Lang Junxia. His father came and Lang Junxia left. Everything was so natural. Unexpectedly, the separation has become like a stranger.
At night, to Duan Ling's surprise, Li Yanqiu was the only one who came at dinner.
In his eyes, since the Yao family has already met, it doesn't seem to be very important. Uncle and nephew were sitting opposite each other at dinner, Wu Du guarded outside the door, and Zheng Yan did not know where he went.
On the table, the food was laid out, and Duan Ling personally tried the dishes for Li Yanqiu in turn. Li Yanqiu took a sip of tea and said, "There are not so many rules, you can eat it."
When Li Yanqiu was in Yecheng, Duan Ling helped him try the dishes. With Wu Du, even if he was poisoned, it wouldn't be too much trouble. But Duan Ling still insisted on trying, and then sat back on his seat, and said again: "Fourth Uncle, I really have to go back. I have to do things from beginning to end. Since I went to Yecheng, I should do it well. I'm sorry my dad."
"Okay." Li Yanqiu said, "I won't stop you, but you have to be more careful when you go back."
Duan Ling breathed a sigh of relief and planned to leave tomorrow. After all, there are still many things to do in Jiangzhou. It is impossible for Li Yanqiu to stay in Huaiyin all the time.
"I'm calling you alone today." Li Yanqiu thought about it and said, "There are some things that I have to share with you."
Duan Ling said "um", knowing that this was the eve of the official separation, Li Yanqiu must have something to explain.
Sure enough, Li Yanqiu's first sentence was: "Maybe the one who murdered your father was someone in my big Chenzhong."
Duan Ling was shocked, trembling, and asked in a trembling voice, "How do you know?"
"Neither you nor I have been able to personally see what happened back then." Li Yanqiu said, "You are in Shangjing, and the fourth uncle is in Xichuan. But according to what Wu Du and Wuluohoumu said respectively, the inside story is roughly comparable. Wu Du told me that you killed a person in Tongguan, named Helan Jie."
"Yes!" Duan Ling trembled uncontrollably, and his blood seemed to cool down.
He couldn't eat anymore, shivered and put down his chopsticks.
Li Yanqiu continued: "Helan Jie is an assassin from the Western Regions, and was once an outcast by the Yulin Sword Sect. Do you remember that last winter, a group of Yuan people came to congratulate you on your birthday. One of them was named Hardanbat|Er."
"Remember." Duan Ling replied.
"His master was Na Yantuo. Na Yantuo expelled Helan Jie during his lifetime. He could not stand in Mobei, he moved to Liao State, and he was very likely to take shelter in the Liaonan Courtyard. That night your father's soldiers came to the capital, where Assassins attacked outside the valley first. Wu Du said that based on the skills of the assassins, it is very likely that they are the same group."
This is the reason why Duan Ling couldn't figure it out all the way. Mu Kuangda sent Lord Changliu to assassinate Li Yanqiu, so where did he have any subordinates? Where are the men lying in ambush
This way, everything can be said.
Mu Kuangda colluded with Han Weiyong of the Southern Academy of Liao Kingdom! The assassin was always in the territory of Liao, and it was Helan Jie who took this group and killed his father!
"Those assassins..." Duan Ling said in surprise.
"It's a person from the Yulin Sword Sect." Li Yanqiu replied, "Hadanbat | Er took part of it, and the other part was taken over by Helan Jie. Wuluohou Mu said, he gave you a string of Buddhist beads, right? ?"
"In Yecheng." Duan Ling did not carry it with him.
"That's the token of Yantuo's death, the Yulin sandalwood pearl." Li Yanqiu said, "With this pearl in hand, the people of the Yulin Sword Sect must obey its orders. Helanjie killed your father, Wuluohou Muwei He took revenge by beheading Helan Jie's hand and taking the Buddha beads."
"But he didn't tell me about it at all." Duan Ling said, "If I wore the beads, the Yulin assassins wouldn't come to kill me..."
"I have already scolded him." Li Yanqiu said, "Fortunately, you didn't wear it, do you really think it's Zhenshanhe? If the Buddhist beads fall into the hands of the Han people, they will definitely come to kill you one after another and take it back. Instead, this puts you at risk. The situation is over, Wuluohoumu is really naive."
Is that right? Duan Ling thought to himself, maybe Lang Junxia has another kind of obsession. Does he want to see himself wearing the token he gave
"Forget it, don't mention it." Li Yanqiu added, "That night in the valley and in the capital city, it was the Yulin Sword Sect who attacked the third brother. Since Mu Kuangda was able to summon these people, he must have been with him all the time. A branch maintains close ties."
"Yes." Duan Ling couldn't help but feel angry.
Li Yanqiu said: "But it can't be ruled out that they only got on the line recently. We don't have the exact information about the inside story. You need to find out."
"Me?" Duan Ling said, "Although Yecheng borders the Liao Kingdom, but..."
Duan Ling suddenly remembered that Yelu Zong was really the emperor of the Liao Kingdom! Isn't it more convenient for Han Weiyong to ask him under his eyes
"I understand." Duan Ling said, "I'll write a letter to Zong Zhen when I go back."
Li Yanqiu nodded and said: "Helan Jie has died in your hands, and in a sense, he has also avenged this revenge."
"But at that time, Helan Jie fought on behalf of Xiliang." Duan Ling recalled the conspiracy in Tongguan and said, "Why is he involved with Xiliang?"
Li Yanqiu said: "This is also one of the main things I talked about with Yaohou this afternoon. You have a distant cousin, and you sent your relatives to go out of Tongguan in person. The Yao family established contact with Xiliang, and after sending a caravan , the investigation results are: after the First World War in Shangjing, the Liao State suspected that Han Weiyong and Yelu Dashi had seized power, sent assassins to assassinate him, and betrayed the entire Shangjing city. In order to cover up the news, Han Weiyong instructed Helan Jie to leave Zhongjing and flee to the west. Cool territory, shelter temporarily."
Duan Ling was stunned and asked, "Yelü Dashi was also assassinated?!"
Duan Ling remembered the eve of Shangjing's collapse. That night, Yelu Dashi went out of the city for a decisive battle. He was shot by an arrow. After returning, he died. Now that he thinks about it, it really looks like he was shot by a poisoned arrow.
"Eight|Nine is not separated from ten." Li Yanqiu sighed, and the two of them sat quietly, not in the mood to eat. Li Yanqiu added: "Wuluohou Mu told me that when he returned to Xichuan, he was poisoned by a poison: Lord Changliu smeared the poison on his sword. And Wu Du used bloodletting combined with the antidote of poisoning, He detoxified him. This time, under the Dingjun Mountain, the assassin used the same poison on Zheng Yan."
"Is it the same poison as my father's back then?" Duan Ling asked.
"It's almost the same." Li Yanqiu replied, "They are all toxins extracted from a rattlesnake in the Western Regions. It's just that the poison in the third brother was condensed for a longer time, and it was mixed with the poison of scorpions and centipedes. The way of bloodletting can't get rid of the poison that your father was poisoned by, so over the years, he has often felt guilty in his heart."
Duan Ling turned his head to look out, and Wu Du's figure was thrown into Menge.
Regarding the way of making drugs, he has been following Wu Du for a long time, and he understands a little bit. Poisoning and detoxification are both very complicated processes. Mixing a variety of rare toxins makes it difficult to detoxify. But some poisons are also difficult to make.
"This is his explanation, do you believe it?" Li Yanqiu asked back.
"I believe." Duan Ling nodded and said, "The basic poison used by the Yulin Sword Sect is the snake venom of this rattlesnake. It can be smeared on swords, arrows and hidden weapons. But in order to kill masters, they may mix in more poisons. Venoms such as spiders, scorpions, etc. Usually the poisoner will make some improvements. Wu Du's method of detoxifying this poison is to first bleed, and then give the other party some dry and violent detoxification|medicine to help the other party to force the toxin out of the body , there is no way to really detoxify with the way of life and gram."
"Actually, I don't blame him." Duan Ling thought for a while, and then said, "It's all over, there's nothing you can do."
