"I'm wronged!" Sun Daoxian gritted his teeth, "These little bastards..."
"Who are you calling a bastard?" Chunxiu grabbed Sun Daoxian's ear and walked forward, "Mrs. Hou Ye entrusted you to my hands and let me control you. Who would have thought that you would even visit a shop?" Can't help it, it seems that after I go back, I have to teach you again!"
"Let go, ai ai ai, take it easy, take it easy..." Sun Daoxian cried out in pain.
Will it hurt
Bo Yu curled her lips, "It deserves it!"
In the distance, Luo Nanchen waved his hand, signaling the clansmen to retreat.
The young master is safe, so there is no need for them to take action.
Although Shen Zhi is a newborn calf and is not afraid of tigers, he is Bo Yunxiu's son after all, and he knows that everything cannot be done blindly with a rush of enthusiasm, so he arranged for guards to lure the enemy in, and at the same time quietly notified the guards.
In terms of life in the forest, the guardians are familiar with the terrain and are the most able to escape and disappear.
If the guards can't catch these people, then the clan guards will have to take action. Anyway, these people can't be allowed to escape, otherwise these street mice will have to scurry around again, causing people to be uneasy.
"What is this?" Bo Yu bent down and picked up a red stone by the stream.
"Perhaps it was picked up from other places when it was built here!" Congshan explained.
Shen Zhi looked around, except for this red stone, he didn't seem to see a second similar one, "It really doesn't look like it's here!"
The color of the water is like pig liver, and the color of the water is as bright as blood.
"Look for it, see if there are any more? I remember that there seemed to be many such stones at the time." Bo Yu was ecstatic, "Look for it, where did this stone come from, hurry up!"
Shen Zhi flicked his sleeves, and everyone went to look for it immediately.
In the upper reaches of the mountain stream, there is a patch of red stones like this. There are such things in the creek pits. They are not worth much, but they look pretty. But there is no wooden house in this upstream area, otherwise they would have noticed it long ago.
"There are no wooden houses here!" Shen Zhi looked around, "Are you sure it's near here?"
Cong Shan was puzzled, "We have searched around here, but we have never found the wooden house mentioned by the young master, or anything like that. Young master, did you remember correctly, there is really nothing here except these stones."
"Yes!" Shen Zhi squatted on the ground, "This piece has traces of burning. Look at these stones. Although they have been exposed to the sun and rain on the surface, they have faded a lot, but there are still traces. We I always thought that the wooden house was always there, but I forgot one very important thing.”
Shen Zhi turned to look at Bo Yu, "Your mother was raised by a member of the Longevity Gate, so since she wants to appear next to Fourth Uncle and Li Wang's Mansion, she must completely cut off from the past. It was cleanly broken, but later on as you grew up and my father never had a concubine, your mother became anxious, even more worried that the past would be revealed, so..."
"So, burn it clean!" Bo Yu sighed softly, "It's true, for the sake of status, she even killed me, what else can't she do?"
Shen Zhi patted Bo Yu's shoulder, "It's thanks to you that I was able to find this place. Now that we have found it, everyone should hurry up and see if there are any traces to be found. Find the imperial seal as soon as possible, and get rid of Chi Qi's people as soon as possible. In the future, we can make Nanwan a friend!"
Bo Yu was taken aback, "Alliance with Chi Qi?"
"Didn't you listen to your grandfather? Chiqi's crossbows are very powerful. What we lack in Nanwan is such a powerful weapon." Shen Zhi stood with his hands behind his back, "If we can exchange trade, let's buy some Chiqi's Bow and crossbow, the strength of the army is strong, the national power will definitely be stronger, and no one will bully us anymore!"
Bo Yu nodded repeatedly, "How do you know this?"
"It was taught by Shao Fu in the past, then it was taught by Tai Fu, and now it is taught by grandfather and uncle!" Shen Zhi walked forward, "Let's go, let's talk when we go back!"
A group of people were escorted back to the Eastern Capital, and they were all thrown into the dungeon.
Shen Zhi was not in a hurry to interrogate them, knowing that these people might not be willing to tell the truth, he just invited the Queen Mother and Bo Yunchong to come and identify them, and by looking at who this person was, he would know their origins and all kinds of inside information.
Bo Yunchong blinked his eyes, "I'm not very familiar with the fourth brother's family. Although they are brothers, the fourth brother usually doesn't talk much, and he really doesn't go anywhere. But the second brother Bo has close contacts with him, and the others... But Queen Mother, this person seems familiar."
The Empress Dowager leaned on her staff and looked at it for a while, and finally Mo Yu reminded, "Empress Dowager, this is not the one who was exiled that day..."
"Oh, yes, it's him!" The queen mother took Shen Zhi's hand excitedly, "The one next to the fourth child is called, what is his name, the eunuch!"
As soon as he was recognized, the other party suddenly lowered his head, but he didn't dare to look up again.
"Eunuch?" Bo Yu raised his voice in disbelief, "What kind of eunuch is this? He is so vicious and has the face to be called a master?"
"In the past, the eunuch who was next to the fourth brother was called Fuquan, right? Then something happened to the fourth child, and the prince got angry and vented his anger on the people around the fourth child. A group of people were all assigned to the frontier, this time..." The queen mother paused, she was old and her memory was not very good, so she couldn't remember these old things clearly.
Bo Yunchong stretched out his finger, "Seven years!"
"Oh, seven years!" The Queen Mother nodded, "Later when your father came to power, how could we remember him, who would have thought that he would bring people back... What a crime!"
The corner of Shen Zhi's mouth twitched, "Is this okay?"
"You thought it was seven years ago?" Bo Yu shook her head, "No wonder the people under you, even Shen Zhi and I, can't tell the difference. You can recognize people by clothes, but you don't even know the way to the Eastern Capital City." I’m not familiar with it, so I dare not enter the city at all. It’s hard for you to still find the Chi Qi’s meticulous work in the deep mountains and old forests, and you can still rebel in such a reserved way!”
"I didn't expect that you, a eunuch, would still want to rebel?" Bo Yunchong shook his head, "What the hell did this fourth child do to confuse you guys, and all of you are staring at my throne? The person who should sit is not Sit, people who shouldn't sit, keep talking... I really don't know what you are thinking."
"Zhi'er, are you not hurt?" The queen mother hunched over and was a little tired from walking with a stick. Having experienced so many things, the queen mother is really old.
It used to be well maintained, but now it is old and aging, especially after Shen Muxi left, the Queen Mother is aging at a speed that can be seen with the naked eye. The bun used to be slightly gray, but now it is completely white.
Seeing the Queen Mother with white hair all over her head, Shen Zhi didn't shake off her hand and let her lead her out, "Don't worry, Queen Mother, it's all right!"
"It's fine. In the future, don't do this kind of thing yourself, just find someone to replace it. You are the only child in Liwang's mansion. If there is something wrong with you, how can the imperial grandmother explain it to your mother?" The queen mother sighed softly. "You child, you really look like your father! You are so stubborn!"
In his bones, it is full of love.
After leaving the dungeon, good news came from Shanbian, and he hurried over with a wooden box, "Your majesty, little prince, I found it!"
Bo Yu jumped three feet high, "Great! Shen Zhi, your wish will come true soon!"
"What wish?" Bo Yunchong was puzzled.
The Queen Mother also frowned.
"Shen Zhi said that he wants to exchange this imperial seal for Chi Qi's crossbow!" Bo Yu laughed, "Our Nanwan army will definitely be stronger by then, let's see who dares to fight us in the future."
The box was opened, and Shen Zhi's hand gently brushed over the black bump inside, his heart beating wildly.
Father, mother, look, I did it!
With Chiqi's bow and crossbow, we will be stronger, Ying Kingdom will no longer fight with us, and the princess of Ying Kingdom will not be here with us. If you are so arrogant, you don't have to be so cautious when going to Ying Kingdom.
"Mother!" Shen Zhi murmured, "The stronger Nanwan is, the safer you will be."
Even if someone finds out in Ying Country, your life will no longer be in danger, and due to the strength of the country, Ying Country will protect you, otherwise, if something happens to you in Ying Country, they will definitely not be able to afford it!
"Shen Zhi, what's wrong with you?" Bo Yu was puzzled.
He was very happy just now, why did his eyes turn red
"I'm fine!" Shen Zhi withdrew his hand, "I'm just happy to do something useful for Uncle Huang."
"It's more than useful. Although Chi Qi is not big, he is close to us after all. If he can settle down and become friends with us, it will be beneficial to us and not harmful. It is definitely a good thing! And it is a great good thing! "Bo Yunchong patted Shen Zhi on the shoulder, "Zhi'er really lived up to my expectations!"
There was not much joy on the face of the old lady, but a little more serious, "What's so good? What's so good... Isn't it just following his father's old path? What's so good..."
"Mother, mother queen?" Bo Yunchong was taken aback, watching the queen mother leave step by step, feeling a little strange in his heart, "This..."
"The imperial grandmother seems to be angry." Bo Yu said.
Shen Zhi narrowed his eyes and did not speak.
"The empress dowager loves you very much." Bo Yunchong explained, "After all, the court is full of old loaches. Although Zhi'er is protected by me, she is still too young. But this time, I will leave the matter of Chiqi to you If you think about it, it will help you become famous, and you will be able to achieve such a feat at such a young age, let's see what else they have to say!"
Shen Zhi pursed his lips and clenched his fists in his sleeves.
No matter how difficult the road ahead is, he will persevere until his parents come back...
You guys must come back!
...
After the splendor passed, it was replaced by fragments.
It was a group of people who came in, but who knew that after Huaguang passed, they were all scattered, and everyone was immersed in their own dreams and couldn't extricate themselves. Fortunately, Han Busu had reminded him before, so no matter what happened, he couldn't mess himself up.
Shen Muxi only felt a flash in front of his eyes, the surrounding scenes were constantly changing, the memory was pouring back, everything was going backwards.
Damo Guyan disappeared, Han Busu disappeared, and Li Wang's Mansion also disappeared. She actually sat on the wall of the University Scholars' Mansion, smiling and eating the jujubes hanging upside down from the jujube tree, biting them until they were crunchy.
But for some reason, no one passed under the wall.
She waited from dawn to dusk, and then from dusk to dawn, watching the scholar's mansion decay from flourishing to overgrown with weeds. The panic was almost indescribable, as if something was gradually peeling off and fading from the heart, from the flesh and blood, and from the life.
She wanted to reach out to grab it, but couldn't.
If I have never met you in this life, where should I be
When she opened her eyes, she was actually standing in the territory of the guardian clan. She had been to this place before, so she was naturally very familiar with it.
There was a beautiful woman walking in the woods in a daze, and someone was chasing after her, but she couldn't move anymore, and eventually she was exhausted, and fell on the ground, with her eyes half-closed in a dying state.
Someone walked up to her and held out his hand to her.
She raised her head, and the sparks burst out at that moment, making the most fatal mistake. In the depths of the dense forest, feelings arose secretly, but they couldn't hold back in the end. After the mistake had been made, a large number of guards arrived, but they didn't know that it was he who tipped off the news and deliberately lured people to take her back to the palace.
She didn't know that he did it on purpose.
Not to mention, his conspiracy.
The dark knot in the womb was thought to be unswerving until death, but in fact it was only her who was deeply involved in it.
That person, from the beginning to the end, was only affectionate and vicious in his heart...
"Madam Bo?"
It was Bo Yunxiu's voice.
"Bo Yunxiu!" Shen Muxi suddenly exclaimed.
His body trembled in horror, and finally opened his eyes, and suddenly saw the pitch-black surroundings, and the hairs on his body stood up instantly. But a warm embrace quickly hugged her, holding her firmly in his arms, "I dreamed that you were gone!"
Shen Muxi was startled, and only then did she realize that she had just fallen into a dream.
But whose dream is that
She's pretty sure that's not what happened to her.
"I dreamed... you never passed under my wall again, and I waited for you on the top of the wall for a long, long time!" Just like that time in the backyard of the palace, she kept her promise and waited and waited.
She never wanted to taste that taste again in her life.
Bao Yunxiu didn't dare to tell her that he had dreamed about the fire and watched her die in the sea of fire, watching her disappear in ashes. Obsession told him that she would not die, definitely not.
She will be in a corner, quietly waiting for him to find her.
One of the things his Mrs. Bo likes to do the most is to hide quietly, waiting for him to find her back.
So, he woke up.
"Where are the others?" Shen Muxi hurriedly asked.
In the dark room, everyone seemed to be in a trance, and none of them moved, just like clay sculptures and wood carvings.
"This..." Shen Muxi was shocked.
Bo Yunxiu dragged her aside, "Look at the top of your head."
Shen Muxi quickly raised her head, and suddenly saw the clearly drawn pentagram pattern on the roof, filled with strange underworld flowers, which is clearly the clan protection formation, she and Bao Yunxiu are in possession of the Phoenix Gu, so it's okay to struggle for a while came out, but other people did not have such treatment, so they were all stuck in a dream and couldn't extricate themselves.
"What should I do?" Shen Muxi was anxious, "If..."
Before the words were finished, Yue Gui and Mi Li started to fight first.
The sword came out of its sheath, and there was a crackling beating. Bo Yunxiu hurriedly stuffed his Mrs. Bo behind the stone pillar, "Don't come out, I'll deal with it!"
"Be careful!" Shen Muxi's face turned blue.
Both Yue Gui and Mi Li had their eyes closed, obviously still wandering in the dreamland, so they didn't know what they were doing at all? Dance with swords and swords, just because of the need in the dream.
Xu Shi dreamed of the pain of practicing dance when he was young, or he was chased and killed in his dream.
Either way, it's not a good thing.
Just as Bo Yunxiu quickly restrained Mi Li and Yue Gui, Han Busu spit out a mouthful of blood on the ground with a "wow", and everyone opened their eyes instantly, as if waking up from a big dream.
"They're not dead, are they?" Han Busu wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, and slowly turned around while supporting his waist, "I'm so exhausted!"
"Senior Han!" Shen Muxi rushed up and quickly gave her a hand, "How is it?"
"What's the big deal?" Han Busu took a deep breath, "I've reminded you all, who knows that each of you is still so stupid, stuck in it and unable to extricate yourself."
It was as if she had woken up a long time ago!
"Is this a dream?" Mi Li suddenly saw Bao Yunxiu holding down his wrist holding the sword, feeling shocked, "Master!"
Yue Gui was also taken aback, the sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, and immediately knelt down to salute, "Master, forgive me! Slave..."
"Get up!" Bo Yunxiu let go of his hands, finally waking up.
"It's another formation!" Qianmian stomped his feet angrily, "This damn formation, I get hit every time, I really hate it, how annoying it is! You clan guards, there are too many crap things, making people feel uneasy born!"
Han Busu sneered, "It's to deal with people with evil intentions like you, you deserve it! You said you were in a dream, why didn't you dream of my whole family, and came to avenge you? Eat meat and sleep skin, put You gnawed bloody."
Qianmian was startled, and did not dare to continue speaking.
"Let's go!" Han Busu walked ahead, "You'd better follow me closely, remember to act alone, the door of rebirth has been opened, so many things here are out of control, everyone better be careful."
Going forward, there is a long and narrow corridor, which can only be walked by one person. The narrow and oppressive feeling makes people very uncomfortable.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and every time they took a step forward, they seemed to sink a little bit.
Finally, after turning a corner, the eyes suddenly opened up.
This seems to be a place where clay figurines are fired, which is very similar to the scene in the Huzu Cave, but... these clay figurines seem to be alive. , all made a "creaking" sound.
Everyone gasped for an instant.
What's happening here? !
