Overnight, the situation suddenly changed.

The king's uncle, who had been favored by the emperor for two dynasties, was imprisoned. Many servants in the palace were involved with him, and they were picked out one by one for interrogation. People in the Jiuchong Palace were panicked. They pulled out radishes and brought them out of the mud to interrogate a bunch of people who had some and none.

The old cases of Xuan Tieying were inevitably uncovered, and the whole court was busy trying to distance themselves from the Wang family, fearing that they would be linked to it.

The barbarian envoys who maliciously caused trouble were secretly detained, and the Beida camp patrolled in shifts and stood ready.

But even Fang Qin didn't expect the final outcome of this matter——

Prince Yan, whom he regarded as a thorn in his side, actually resigned from his official position, but Emperor Long'an did it!

At this age, Fang Qin knew for the first time what "everything in the world is unpredictable". When he was deliberately trying to deal with Prince Yan, he almost got involved while he was doing well. This time, he was completely unintentional and was in a hurry.

He broke off the relationship with Wang Guo and did not hesitate to side with his political opponents... but in the end, he got his wish by mistake!

No wonder the ancients said, "The emperor's thoughts are not revealed by the gods and ghosts."

It snowed heavily that night, and the plum blossoms in the Hou Mansion were covered with a layer of crystal clear frost, condensing all the colors in them, making them look so beautiful.

The returning carriage stopped at the door. The steam lamp on the splayed Marquis Gate was covered with snow, but still dutifully cast a small piece of bright light. The iron puppet guarding the gate turned around with a long sigh, and the steam quietly drifted away.

Wide open.

Gu Yun jumped out of the car, waved his hand to Huo Dan, opened the car curtain and said, "Give me your hand."

The wound that Chang Geng made with the silver knife looked terrible, but in fact it didn't hurt any muscles or bones. Even if Chen Qingxu didn't care about him, scabs would have formed quickly with Wu'er Gu's physique, and the whole thing would have been over for a long time.

But when it comes to Gu Yun, he will always look for trouble.

Chang Geng pretended to grab Gu Yun's arm and got out of the car. He rushed forward like a boneless body, grabbing Gu Yun's shoulder and arm and holding on to it. His hand was so strong that he couldn't shake it. He didn't know what kind of injury could make a person's skill stronger.

Such great progress.

Gu Yun knew that he was pretending, and he also knew that he had indeed been wronged. He didn't have the heart to scold Chang Geng, so he just stretched out his hand and slapped Chang Geng lightly on the back, gathered up his cloak, pulled him in, and entered the door in three steps and two steps at a time.

.

The two of them entered the house in the cold wind and woke up the bird hanging in the small cage by the window.

The bird was having a good dream, and was shivering solidly due to the cold wind. He was very excited to get out of bed, and he opened his mouth and cursed: "Asshole, daddy is freezing to death... quack... quack... Good luck! Good flowers and full moon! Financial resources.

Come on! All your wishes come true!"

Gu Yun: "..."

He and the magical bird looked at each other for a long time. Finally, the bird raised one of its wings in shame and covered its face, as if it also knew that its current image of a servile servant was disgraceful and that it had no face to see others.

Chang Geng laughed sullenly on the side, and General Gu was finally convinced.

"My face is red from the cold," Gu Yun touched Chang Geng's chin, "You're so happy after being stabbed but not having an official position, huh? Go change clothes quickly."

"Without an official, you are light." Chang Geng laughed meaningfully, turned around and changed into dry clothes, then sat by the window, grabbed the bird, pinched it in his hand and smoothed its feathers. The bird shivered when he touched it.

He was so frightened that he almost died, "Hey, Zixi, if I am really the father of Hugel, who is the father?"

Gu Yun: "Don't think so wildly."

Chang Geng smiled nonchalantly and said: "That person must not be a barbarian, otherwise he would have left with her at that time, but he must have had a close relationship with the barbarian woman. He probably participated in planning the escape of the barbarian concubine, and then took over the barbarian's control of the capital and palace.

The forces here... did not reveal their true power until the capital was besieged."

The person he was talking about was Master Liao Chi, which was the same as Shen Yi's initial guess.

He was shot to death by his own hands that year.

Gu Yun commented nonchalantly: "You mean Japanese? Japanese people can't grow as tall as you, but if you really grow up to be as ugly as that crow-mouthed old monk in the future, I won't want you."

Chang Geng laughed silently.

Gu Yun: "I'm going to ask someone to make some ginger soup so you don't catch a cold."

Upon hearing this, Chang Geng jumped up, stuffed the bird back into the cage, pulled back a big black cloth to cover it, and said maliciously: "You don't have to drink that stuff to keep out the cold, I'll do it!"

At this time, the barbarian Shijie, who had just been interrogated for one round, was taken into a prison with three floors inside and three floors outside.

The barbarian envoy who was pushed into the dark place turned his head once and happened to look at Shen Yi on horseback. That look made Shen Yi feel nervous.

The barbarian envoy smiled strangely at him and hummed a tune: "The cleanest elf, the sky wind wants to kiss the hem of her skirt..."

They have lived in the grassland for a long time, and all of them have good voices that are loud and clear. The male voice is slightly deeper, echoing in the wind and snow, and there is a tragic sadness of the end of the wild wolf, and the singing is still lingering around when people walk.

Shen Yi frowned and listened for a moment, hearing a smell of changes that came with time.

Purple gold burned quietly in the golden boxes of several heavy armors patrolling near Tianlao. A little purple halo could be seen from the outside. The steam floated in the ice and snow, and in a blink of an eye, only a few disappeared. The grassland, Pegasus, and primitive swords and guns The swords, halberds, darts and spears all faded away, solidifying in the dark and thick back of the heavy armor, as dark and thick as an iron puppet.

Shen Yi suddenly felt as if an era was coming to an end before his eyes.

However, he only sighed with emotion for a short while, and quickly came back to his senses, cheering up. If Gu Yun's conjecture was correct, then there might have been differences within the eighteen tribes. Don't miss it. War is likely to break out in the soon.

Just when Shen Yi walked around outside the prison and was about to leave, suddenly a white shadow flashed from not far away, so fast that people felt that he was dazzled. If Shen Yi hadn't honed his skills on the battlefield for many years, With his keen intuition, he could hardly detect it.

Shen Yicheng signaled to a few unaware guards nearby, and took the lead in picking up his Cutwind Blade and entering the sky prison. The further he walked, the more frightened he became. There was not even a single footprint on the ground. In the empty sky prison, It was quiet, but the two cell guards watching the door sat and stood motionless. Upon closer inspection, they actually fainted quietly.

Suddenly, a gust of wind suddenly came from behind Shen Yi's head. He instinctively pounced forward, stretched out his hand to draw out the wind cutter blade from his back, and swung it back - it was empty.

There was a soft "ding" in his ear, and the cutter wind blade hit something particularly light. Shen Yi rushed forward without looking back. When he got to the corner, he jumped up and used his feet to gain strength on the wall. The man turned over and grabbed the man's clothes. He pulled down. The veil on the man's face was suddenly pulled off. It turned out to be Chen Qingxu.

Shen Yi: "..."

He had no idea how he landed, so he opened his mouth stupidly and almost sprained his feet.

The next moment, there were rapid footsteps from one side, and it was the guards from the Beida Camp who came in. Shen Yi came back to his senses, quickly shook his head at Chen Qingxu, pushed her into a backlit corner, and continued as if nothing had happened. The ground put away the wind cutter blade, turned around and walked out.

Guard: "General Shen, what's wrong?"

Shen Yi said calmly: "It's nothing. I misjudged him for a moment. The barbarian's methods are treacherous. Please tell brothers to be more alert."

The guards did not doubt that he was there and quickly formed several teams and dispersed to patrol other places.

Shen Yi stood calmly on the spot for a moment, taking a few deep breaths, and his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

After a long while, he quietly wiped off the second wave of cold sweat on his hands and turned to Chen Qingxu's hiding place: "Why is Miss Chen here?"

Chen Qingxu came to see the barbarian envoys. She didn't want to let go of any clues about Urgu. She greeted Chang Geng before coming. Chang Geng originally wanted her to ask someone in the army for help, but Chen Qingxu thought about it herself. , thinking that he did not intend to rob the prisoner, but just sneaked into the prison at night, and it should not be a big problem. The fewer people who knew about Wuergu, the better.

She really didn't expect that she would be caught or caught by someone she knew. She raised her hands in embarrassment and said: "Thank you, General, for showing mercy. I came to Tianlao to confirm a few things with the barbarian envoys - Shen The general can look at this."

As she said that, she took out a handwritten letter from Chang Geng, which was stamped with Gu Yun's private seal. This was the back door opened to her by King Yan with the help of Gu Yun. Chen Qingxu had no intention of leaving at first, but then I am secretly glad that there is such a thing, otherwise I would not be able to explain it clearly.

She kept the letter in her arms, still with a little bit of residual warmth. Shen Yi's hands were trembling when he took it. He read it over as if in a dream. Every word was like a passing cloud, and every ink speck could penetrate it. His burned brain.

Shen Yi was in the same room as Chen Qingxu in the narrow ear room, and he didn't dare to look up at anyone.

Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Chen Qingxu reminded him: "It has Mr. Gu's private seal on it."

Shen Yi woke up like a dream: "Ah...oh, yes, then be careful, um...please come in."

Chen Qingxu breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the prison. After walking a few steps, she found that Shen Yi had not followed, so she added, "General, if you are worried, you can come together."

Shen Yixi nodded with a clear word: "Well, excuse me."

After saying that, he just followed silently five steps away from Chen Qingxu, not breathing, and calmer than a lifeless iron puppet. It was dark in the sky prison, and Chen Qingxu couldn't see Shen Yi blushing. I'm still surprised by the appearance of the monkey's butt - don't they say birds of a feather flock together? Why is there such a serious and old-fashioned person around An Dinghou?

The two of them walked to the barbarian envoy's private room in relative silence. Shen Yi finally opened his mouth and said, counting the words: "This person's name is Chikuyu, and he is a confidant of the Wolf King Calais."

He suddenly made a sound like a corpse, Chen Qingxu was startled, a silver light flashed on her fingertips, and she almost took out the murder weapon. Of course Shen Yi saw it, and shut up in annoyance, not to mention not daring to say a word.

At this time, the enemy rescued General Shen, who was about to sneak in through the crack in the wall of the prison. Chikuyu in the single room heard his introduction and answered leisurely: "Others say I am the traitor next to the Wolf King. , this general has a sharp eye."

As soon as Shen Yi met him, he became more eloquent: "Traitor? So the rumor that your second prince usurped the throne is true?"

Chikuyu shook his head. At this stage, there was nothing to hide. He said calmly: "The second prince is just a child. He has not reached the age of ambition yet. However, the three princes under the Eighteen Tribe Wolf, the prince has been captured by them." Lock him up, the third prince...haha, he is a fool who needs others to serve him for food, clothing, housing and transportation, so only the second prince can make do with being their puppet."

Shen Yi keenly caught the word "them". As long as his eyes were not on Miss Chen, his thoughts would turn quickly. He immediately realized that the ern barbarians were called "Eighteen Tribe Alliance" and they were not one body in the first place. To be the king of wolves, in addition to keeping everyone fed and clothed, you also have to have sharp teeth that can bite other people's necks.

Shen Yi narrowed his eyes and asked tentatively: "What? How can the Wolf King tolerate it?"

Chi Kuyu sneered: "Even great heroes will eventually grow old. Otherwise, how could it be the wild dog's turn to show off?"

Shen Yi heard that Jialai Yinghuo was either injured or sick, and he might have lost control of the Eighteen Tribes.

He put down the wind-cutting blade from his waist, and held the blade in his hand through the sheath, just enough to hold it on the ground. Chikuyu's pupils shrank slightly - Xuantieying will always be shrouded in the head of the third generation of the Eighteen Tribes. shadow.

Shen Yi said in his elegant Hanlin tone: "The Wolf King of your tribe has a very extreme temperament. He has been waging war in recent years, and the people of the tribe must not have had a good life. Now that our west is heavily guarded, the warriors in the hands of the Wolf King may not be good." You still have the heart and strength to fight. Forgive me for being stupid, why did your envoy do everything possible to sneak into the envoys to sabotage the peace talks? Wouldn’t it hurt the third prince, an innocent child?”

Chikuyou glanced at him calmly: "The general is right, and those in the Eighteen Tribe Alliance probably think so too, but this is not what my king wishes. I once swore to Changshengtian to be loyal to my king, even if I bear the burden of Even though he is called a traitor, he must fulfill his wish for my king."

Shen Yi: "Please enlighten me."

"A ferocious beast must look like a ferocious beast. If the Eighteen Tribes fall into the hands of those who are begging for mercy in the future and are trained by Daliang to be like dogs digging for purple gold, it would be better for them to be destroyed and die on the road to fighting. Chi Kuyu looked at Shen Yi and said, "General Black Crow, I ask you, would you rather live in misery or die in the fire."

This Chi Kuyu talks like a bastard. Chen Qingxu thought that Shen Yi would ignore it. Unexpectedly, Shen Yi listened to the question and actually replied solemnly: "I would rather die in the fire, but I also know that an ant can still survive." ’ principle, it is natural for those who serve in the army and guard the border to protect those who prefer to live. I don’t think there is anything sad about the peaceful days of fishermen, woodcutter, farmers and students. If the people of the tribe really live a miserable life, it is also the fault of the people in high positions with sharp weapons. .”

After Shen Yi finished speaking, he felt that he had roughly gotten some information, so he took a step back and politely made a "please" gesture to Chen Qingxu: "King Yan asked this girl to ask you a question. Just stop talking."

When Chi Kuyu heard the word "Yan Wang", his expression changed. He seemed a little strange, but also seemed to be feeling emotional. Before Chen Qingxu could speak, he took the lead and said: "You are here for Wu'er Gu. ?”

When Chen Qingxu came, Chang Geng asked her to give Chi Kuyu a sentence, "Hand over the secret of barbarian voodoo and give you what you want." Chen Qingxu didn't understand what this meant before, but now she listened to Chi Ku You and General Shen were having a normal conversation, and finally found some way to speak out.

After hearing this, Chikuyu showed a rare deep thought on his face, and then replied with a very upright attitude: "As for Ur bones, I only know how to stimulate and how to control them. As for how to refine them, only the leader and the goddess know. It’s a secret that won’t be told, so I’m sorry I can’t promise it.”

Chen Qingxu: "What about the solution?"

Chi Kuyu was stunned when he heard this: "What did you say? The solution?"
