What Shen Lie wants to talk about is the stone wall curtain under the perilla dyeing workshop, and the unique cave after pulling off the curtain.
The space inside is spacious, and there are six gold thrones with red sandalwood edges placed on the ground, with a stone statue placed on each of them. The stone statues were painted with insect-proof paint, but due to their age, the paint on the stone statues peeled off and were still eroded by insects and moisture.
Except, one of the stone statues.
When he said this, the deep black eyes showed the hesitation just now.
"That stone statue... looks almost exactly like my grandfather." Shen Lie said.
"Senior Guo Shu?"
"Well, in addition to the stone statues, we also found a book with the ink on it still intact. There were several letters inside, related to the rebellion."
"Then, is there a date of signature on the letter?"
"About forty years ago."
"This far away, you and I were not even born yet," Xia Zhaoyi said, his eyebrows slightly closed, "Wait a minute, if it were forty years ago, your grandfather would have been in his forties."
"Um."
"Then does the letter say... is it a personal enmity with Emperor Qian Ning?"
There was sarcasm on the corners of Shen Lie's lips, with a hint of bitterness, and he shook his head.
Xia Zhaoyi didn't know what to say for a moment.
If a person had rebellious thoughts when he was young, it might be because he was young and frivolous and rebellious, but when he is over fifty...
Of course, if you want to rebel, just go and rebel. It doesn't require age or any reason. If you want to be the emperor, just want to rebel. He can be happy.
However, this man's name is Guo Shu.
Guo Daxia of the Zuilu Guo family is famous all over the world and has a prominent reputation. When he was young, he was a wandering knight who loved fighting injustices and had a warm heart for ancient ways.
He has friends all over the world, is indifferent to fame and wealth, and lives aloof from the world. When the words prodigal and chivalrous were mentioned, he was definitely the first person who came to mind.
Not to mention, even in today's troubled times, Song Zhiyi could not persuade Guo Shu to come out of the mountain despite all his words.
Because of this, his reputation has become even greater and he is more respected by the world.
Now, he is said to be rebelling.
And forty years ago, the world was not ruled by Li. During the reign of the late Emperor Qianning, everything was going smoothly, things were prosperous and the people were safe, and the world was far from falling apart like it is today.
During the Taiping years, those who had a rebellious heart were nothing more than the ambition to reach the top and personal vendetta.
Now, Shen Lie has denied the theory of personal hatred.
Xia Zhaoyi was not good at comforting people, so she really didn't know what to say.
It's not that there is no rebellion, but that the tall image of a person suddenly collapsed in his heart.
In addition to the rebellion, the place where his stone statue appeared was under the Zisu Dyeing Workshop. Who would have thought that the Guo family in Zuilu and Tang Xiangsi living in seclusion in Hengxiang would have such close contact.
"This Guo Yunzhe is also named Guo," Shen Lie said. "I don't know if he is related to my grandfather's surname Guo, but I feel uneasy."
Xia Zhaoyi said softly: "The Guo family you went to when you were eight years old has been in the Guo family for many years. If you haven't heard of this name, then it is possible that he is not the same as the hero Guo Shu..."
Xia Zhaoyi paused, and she almost forgot how easy it was for a wealthy family to erase someone's name.
At this time, the crossbowmen hiding in the dark under the Nebula Tower in front were mobilized and quickly ran towards the main hall.
Xia Zhaoyi and Shen Lie turned around and saw that the Fang family disciples drew their swords and confronted them.
Upstairs, Nangong Qiuming's room was still closed, with no door open.
Xia Zhaoyi's eyes fell on the long guard. The first impression this person gave was that of Gao. Apart from him, there were other such tall and terrifying people. Xia Zhaoyi had only seen one other person, Qian. Honored.
Fang Zhenwan looked at the crossbowmen around him and sneered: "Okay, life and death and these people secretly set up shop to deal with that little bitch. I think they are waiting for us here!"
The long guard said in a deep voice: "Mr. Fang, it was you who showed his sword first, and it was you who wanted to start a big fight. You must calm down now, and then think clearly, should we fight here and lose both sides, or should we go to the Qiao family immediately?
The remnant is the one who killed the Fang family’s children, it’s her, not us!”
Fang Zhenwan suddenly laughed, the laughter was sharp, and the more she laughed, the more sad she became.
"Okay, now it's all over! Why were they killed here? If they weren't here, wouldn't they have died in vain? Did that little bitch come here specifically to kill them? It's you!"
Fang Zhenwan pointed forward with the sword in her hand, "If you hadn't insisted that we dedicate manpower to guard the mausoleum and go to Linquan to visit the tomb, why would we have let them die miserably!"
"Are you questioning my lord?!" Liao Shenggui shouted angrily.
"Liao Shenggui, shut up! I have wanted to take your life for a long time! Today I will sacrifice your head to the souls of our Fang family!"
"Master Fang, that's enough!" The long guard suddenly raised his voice, because he was a tall and tall man. This stern shout from Tian Dan was so powerful that Fang Zhenwan, who was in a rage, was stunned by the shout.
"The top priority is to find the remnants of the Qiao family!" the long guard said coldly, "It's dawn!"
A guard immediately stepped forward: "Long guard!"
"Take all the people to check the four realms agencies and seal off the four sides. Everyone must be prepared with poisonous powder and hidden weapons."
"Yes!" the guard called Tianming responded.
The long guard looked at another man in blue, cupped his hands and said: "Master Wei, please send me a letter to Lin Quan, asking where my lord is now."
The man in blue nodded.
The long guard turned around and ordered another middle-aged man to accompany Fang Zhenwan to collect the body.
"He calls other people 'Sir', but I think he is the leader here." Xia Zhaoyi said softly.
"He should be pretty good at it," Shen Lie said.
"These people are capable of both literary and military skills. They are all powerful."
The guard named Tianming gathered people outside. In addition to the crossbowmen, a large number of guards came out of the dark hall to the east.
Xia Zhaoyi originally thought that there were only a few men here, but now looking at the scale, there are at least 500 people.
"It's strange," Xia Zhaoyi frowned, "Since there are so many people, why didn't they come to search for me last night?"
Shen Lie looked at the crossbowmen and said: "Maybe you thought you would go find them. Also, so many masters of the Fang family died at your hands, so they shouldn't dare to take risks. Even if you were my opponent, I would never
I won’t go into the dense forest to look for you after dark.”
Xia Zhaoyi shook his head: "There is no such assumption."
Shen Lie turned his head and looked at her with deep eyebrows.
The girl's eyes were dark and sharp, and she looked at him firmly: "Shen Lie, you and I will never be rivals."
When Shen Lie saw her expression, she seemed to be more serious.
"...I just assumed that I was praising you." Shen Lie's aura weakened a bit.
"There are no such what-ifs and what-ifs." Xia Zhaoyi said.
She is too independent and has a strong ability to protect herself, and Shen Lie is one of the few people who can give her a sense of security and even a sense of dependence. From helping her countless times when she was young, to now being with her
Fighting side by side, Shen Lie has extraordinary meaning for her.
Her sincerity made Shen Lie's handsome face become serious, and at the same time, because of her words, a soft tenderness emerged in his heart.
Because of his cold and indifferent temperament, this kind of tenderness in him is like the warmth and cold of the alternation between spring and winter. It is both cold and cold, but also has the warmth that blows through the desolation and desolation of the world.
Shen Lie nodded lightly: "Well, I will never say this again in the future."
Xia Zhaoyi's gaze deepened, and suddenly, a smile appeared on her lips.
The summer sun penetrates through the layers of shade, and the girl's face is as crystal clear as jade, delicate and charming, and her black and white eyes seem to be filled with clear water from the beautiful lake in Lingshan Mountain. But the monotonous greenery adds bright splendor.
"They are coming soon," Xia Zhaoyi glanced at the main hall and said, "Let's go first."
