Chapter 1,324 The previous chapter was named wrong...
The highest point of Songhai Linshan.
This is the highest point within the entire Songhai City and the surrounding area within a radius of fifty miles. It is also a cliff facing the sea.
Gu Xun stood on the edge of the cliff. One step forward was an abyss of more than a hundred feet. Below it were all irregular and jagged rocks, and the deepest part was naturally the sea water sloshing back and forth against the rocks.
Many people who maintain their own identity prefer this small location with a panoramic view of the mountains, and Guxun is no exception.
Although he doesn't feel that standing on high places makes him feel superior to others, he does like standing on high places and once considered starting to build a high-rise building in the Imperial Prefecture, but considering that it is basically impossible to be higher than the Moon God Chang
I gave up the Star-Zhaixing Tower where I lived.
The main function of this highest point in Songhai is to facilitate observation for Gu Xun.
Not far behind Gu Xun, Zhang Han stood tall and tall, carrying the Longxiang sword.
Years later, Zhang Han is no longer as handsome as he was when he was young. His face has a lot of vicissitudes of life, his skin is much rougher, and several strands of pale hair are clearly visible on his forehead, and the most conspicuous thing is his lips and chin.
sparse stubble.
Of course, a handsome guy is still a handsome guy after all, but he has changed from cool and handsome to... old cool and handsome, adding a bit of a vicissitudes of life to his uncle, and I think he should be more popular with little girls.
As the main person in charge of the eldest son Fusu's travel safety, in theory he should have followed Fusu every step of the way and entered the city together. However, the reality is that he was several days late and did not come here until tonight.
There are naturally reasons for this.
"How is the matter handled?" Gu Xun looked at the sparkling sea under the moonlight and asked casually.
The thing he mentioned was the previous assassination outside Fusu City, which also delayed Zhang Han for several days.
The young master was assassinated. Naturally, we cannot just flip through the chapter casually. We must investigate to the end. Meng Tian and other officials in Sanghai City have the responsibility to investigate, and Zhang Han, the commander of the Shadow Secret Guard, has the even greater responsibility to investigate and must find out.
The ugly Yinmao came out.
Of course, the actual result is... I can only laugh.
Zhang Han lowered his head, and his voice was low and magnetic, which was in line with his vicissitudes of life. "His Royal Highness's goal and humble position have been basically completed. As for the real mastermind... I know it well even if I think about it."
It is definitely impossible to find out, even if the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes is clear at a glance - who else can mobilize three top masters with unknown identities in the empire to attack together, and accurately ambush the eldest son of the empire whose route is top-secret?
What about power?
It can’t be quicksand, right?
But I know that the evidence will definitely not be found. As long as Gu Xun has not planned to directly contact Zhao Gao to make a list, it will be of no use.
Zhang Han's main goal these days is not to track down the murderer, but to follow the various clues exposed by the assassination to clear up the hidden threads of the trap.
It is naturally impossible to clean them all, but you can cut off a piece of Zhao Gao's flesh. After all, even if it is quicksand, it is not easy to plan a plot to assassinate the eldest son.
This is also the purpose of Fusu risking his life.
It can be seen from Zhang Han's answer that he did a good job, and Fu Su's effort was not in vain.
Gu Xun turned around and looked at Zhang Han with a smile. A gold coin appeared in his hand at some point, and he kept flipping it up and catching it with his thumb.
"That's fine, it won't be in vain."
"Do you know everything about the situation in the city?"
Zhang Han nodded.
"What do you think?"
"I'm worried about the low position, there will be some small tricks on the other side of the net." Zhang Han bowed and clasped his fists in response, "Although the assassination just happened once, according to ordinary people's thinking, even if Zhao Gao is bold, he will not take action rashly again, but the low position is still a bit
Worry."
"Well..." Gu Xun nodded, not commenting on Zhang Han's worries, and just said indifferently, "In that case, you should pay more attention."
"Remember your current status, what you should do and what you shouldn't do all depends on Fusu's wishes, so I won't arrange any extra work for you. You can just follow Fusu's arrangements." "I understand the humble position."
"Do you have any interesting news to tell me?" After finishing the business, Gu Xun turned around to look at the sea again and asked by the way.
Zhang Han thought for a while and then said, "There is news from Xianyang City that His Majesty the Emperor intends to prepare for a spring festival."
"Spring Festival? Is it a little late?" Gu Xun was stunned for a moment, a little strange, "Isn't this a ghost in the lake?"
He couldn't remember whether this episode was included in the anime plot, but... in reality, the timing didn't quite match up.
It's almost summer now. You and I are holding a spring festival here... I've never seen you offering sacrifices to the four seasons before?
Besides, even if you don’t pay attention to the Spring Festival, you can’t fool the Spring God like this, right?
Zhang Han's eyes were half closed, and he pretended not to have heard the second half of Gu Xun's words.
He couldn't care whether it was late or not. Anyway, the emperor said it would be done, so the day would definitely be perfect.
However, he also explained the origin of the festival, which was mainly speculation, "I suspect that His Majesty the Emperor may be preparing for the subsequent Eastern Tour and using the Spring Festival as a... sacrificial activity before the tour."
"This... ha, that's okay." Gu Xun laughed, but he didn't think there was any problem.
After the unification of the empire, the sacrifices of famous mountains and rivers were basically normal, and other ghosts and gods were also indispensable, not to mention the Ying clan temple, but the sacrifices of the four seasons were basically gone.
After all, all important sacrifices must be held once a season, so the schedule is full.
However, Ying Zheng has always been practical. Now that there is a temporary need, it is not incomprehensible to pick it up again.
"He wants to perform this ceremony in person?"
Zhang Han nodded, "If nothing else happens, His Majesty the Emperor will personally conduct the ceremony."
"Hey, this will cause Fusu to suffer again, and he will have to run back to Xianyang." Gu Xun smiled when he heard this.
The emperor personally presided over the ceremony, and Fusu, the eldest son, could not miss it no matter what.
Zhang Han did not comment on this.
Gu Xun smiled twice and waved his hand with interest, "These are not worthy of my attention anymore. Let the emperor do whatever he wants. Is there anything else?"
Zhang Han hesitated for a moment and then said, "Taoists seem to be a little restless recently."
"Do you mean the Heavenly Sect or the Human Sect?"
"...all."
Gu Xun was stunned for a moment, "I know a little about what Tianzong said. Xiaomeng is about to leave seclusion. What happened to Renzong? They are not planning to rebel against this kind of sesame seeds and rotten millet, right?"
Zhang Han carefully considered his words and then explained in detail, "On the Tianzong side, Xiaomeng has indeed left the customs, but he is suspected to have left Taiyi Mountain and his current whereabouts are unknown."
"Besides, before leaving Xianyang, the young master went to Mount Taiyi to visit Tianzong... I don't know exactly what happened."
