When Tang Zhao walked out of the gate of Zi Zai Lou, the sun was already three in the sky, the clouds were bright with the warm sunshine, and the wind was gentle and sunny in early spring.
He was in a trance for a while, as if he hadn't yet come out of his comfort zone.
Bai Yujing's restoration project is still in full swing. Most of the swordsmen are busy setting up the towers and have scattered far away. Only Tan swordsman is standing in front of the door nearby, talking to Ling Baoyu. When he hears the door knock,
They both turned back together.
For a moment, both of their expressions were full of surprise.
Ling Baoyu touched his face and said, "Ah, you...how come you become more beautiful again?"
Tang Zhao almost laughed out loud and said: "As expected of you. The focus is always on this. I'm not going to disguise myself. How can I be good-looking or not?"
Tan Jianxia said: "Bao Yu is right, you are indeed different. Before, the light shone on you, and it was just very harmonious. Now you seem to have become the sun itself. The son of the sun."
Tang Zhao smiled and said: "Sister Tan is a compliment, but I am indeed one step closer to the sunshine."
Ling Baoyu clapped her hands and said, "Did you succeed?"
Tang Zhao smiled and nodded, the harvest indeed made him quite satisfied.
Compared with progress in realm, finding the way for the future is more important.
Ling Baoyu didn't know the specific situation, but she knew Tang Zhao's pursuit and asked directly: "That swordsman..."
Tang Zhao nodded again, and Ling Baoyu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Congratulations, Tang Jianxia."
Tan Jianxia also repeatedly congratulated him, and saw that Tang Zhao's expression was subtly different.
In fact, not only Tan Swordsman, but all swordsmen are like this. They are naturally grateful for Tang Zhao's kindness to Bai Yujing, and are friendly from the bottom of their hearts. They will not show the slightest contempt for Tang Zhao as a swordsman.
But a swordsman is a swordsman, and a swordsman is a swordsman. There is a huge difference between the two. Even the so-called "half-step" swordsman is the same.
A practitioner who embarks on the path of a swordsman has a deep and instinctive understanding of the realm, and it is impossible to have no influence at all. Just like Tan Swordsman just recognized his sister and brother, if Tang Zhao was originally a swordsman, the two of them would be equals, and there would be another level of kindness.
Now, no matter how considerate she is, she will not talk about siblings directly. She can only wait for Tang Zhao to speak. And now that the swordsman recognizes the swordsman as his younger brother, it is her kindness.
Now that Tang Zhao has really become a swordsman, it is naturally different.
Tang Zhao instantly evened out the status gap between the remaining swordsman Bai Yujing, and only pure friendship remained.
The relationship between Ling Baoyu and Tang Zhao is the purest. They became teammates as early as in Xishan. They fought together with Bai Yujing and fought together with Wang Liang. They truly fought side by side and put aside their worldly identities early on to become true friends. Even Tang Zhao later revealed his identity.
Despite her true appearance, Ling Baoyu's face-controlling nature didn't overwhelm her friendship, which shows that the foundation is solid. She is simply happy that her friend has made further progress.
Ling Baoyu said: "I heard that you are going back to your hometown? Why don't you just tell me if you have something urgent? Why are you so polite to me? What should I do if you delay something important? Go back quickly. I have a token here. You can come back anytime you want.
Come. It just so happens that the cities of Lingxiao and Haiqi have not been destroyed, and there are teleportation stations inside. It will be very convenient for you to come back. You have to remember to come back to see me when you are free, and just see us."
Tang Zhao smiled and nodded, then turned to Yangzi and said, "Are you leaving now? Don't forget what I told you."
He was talking about finding Dong Jun's successor.
Tang Zhao's heart moved, he pulled Ling Baoyu and smiled apologetically at Tan Jianxia.
Tan Jianxia had a delicate mind and understood immediately, and said with a smile: "I have to clean up the free building. I just took the job but here I am chatting. I don't do anything at all, and people say I am lazy." Then he said goodbye.
At this time, Tang Zhao only had Xiang Yangzi and Ling Baoyu left here. They were both trustworthy and directly related to what he said next. He said softly: "I have a guess, maybe it's just random thoughts. You guys listen first. What's going on?
The key lies in that Bai Ni."
"I have several records of Baini here, one is what she wrote on the wall in Qianqiu Tower, the other is a note she left in the Pearl Palace, and the last one is the words engraved on the coffin board.
By piecing together a few items, you can probably piece together a line."
Ling Baoyu snorted and said, "She left words all over our Bai Yujing. Do you think she came here to play and carve her name here and there?"
Tang Zhaodao: "According to the chronological order, of course the section of Qianqiu Tower comes first. She described her experience and said that she was a young disciple next to Judong Jun and came to take revenge on Bai Yujing..."
Ling Baoyu said: "Retaliation?"
Tang Zhao repeated: "Yes, revenge. She believes that Ruyi Sword harmed Lord Judong, so she wants to cooperate with outside forces to destroy Bai Yujing."
Ling Baoyu was shaking with anger and said angrily: "Are you kidding me? How could His Highness harm Dongjun? Why does she slander and spread rumors?"
Xiang Yangzi said from the side: "It is true that the situation in that battle was complicated, the enemy was powerful, and we also made mistakes, but it was not the Ruyi Sword that caused the harm. Otherwise, Dong Jun's tomb would not be placed in Bai Yujing."
Tang Zhaodao: "This must be a misunderstanding and a conspiracy. Baini was also deceived because she thought at the time that Judong Jun was still alive."
Ling Baoyu was just confused, but Xiang Yangzi had already said bluntly: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible. Dongjun's fall is certain, and it was not even a few decades by the time that woman came."
Ling Baoyu asked curiously: "What? Dongjun is dead?"
This means there is a lack of information. Ling Baoyu, like Tang Zhao before entering the Pearl Palace, knew nothing about Dong Jun.
Tang Zhao briefly explained: "The previous Dongjun has fallen and a tomb of clothes has been established in Zhu Palace. But Bai Ni didn't know that she also received an order from Judongjun himself, telling her to participate in the Battle of Baiyujing. But in
In the first note, she already showed some doubts."
"At that time, she did not meet Dongjun in person, but obtained Dongjun's order through familiar channels. Dongjun said that he was seriously injured and was hiding in a secret place to recuperate. But she felt that Dongjun seemed to be in the human world. She was also confused,
Why doesn’t Mr. Dong return to the outer world, but stay in the human world?”
"But the channel through which the order was passed was correct, so she believed it and acted according to the order. And because she hated Bai Yujing deeply, she also went beyond the limits and caused a lot of harm, such as causing internal sabotage..."
Ling Baoyu sighed and said: "It is really a crime worthy of death."
Tang Zhaodao: "This is the first paragraph of her account. She said that she wrote down this experience to let future generations know that Bai Yujing's destruction was deserved."
Ling Baoyu said angrily: "I think she deserves it!"
Tang Zhao nodded and said: "She did deserve it, and she said so herself. In the Pearl Palace, she already knew that she was wrong. She found that the person who had been giving her orders was not Dongjun, but the real enemy of Dongjun.
It should be that her contact channel fell into the hands of others during the battle when Dongjun died."
Ling Baoyu asked: "Is it Gangliang?"
Xiang Yangzi replied: "No, although I don't know how they contacted each other, it is impossible for Dongjun's things to fall into the hands of Wang Liang. How could Wang Liang appear on the front line? It should be Yongyeting."
Ling Baoyu said "Ah" and immediately thought of Yong Yeting who appeared at the end - are they the masterminds?
Tang Zhaodao: "She herself wrote that she met and talked with Hua Jianxian and clarified the truth, but the troops have already arrived at the city and it is useless to say anything. Bai Yujing is under siege and cannot be saved today. She is determined to fight to death on her own.
In Bai Yujing, I will atone for my sins."
Ling Baoyu said: "But she..."
Tang Zhaodao: "She didn't die in the battle in the end. I guess it was Hua Jianxian's arrangement. But she didn't know it at that time. The main purpose of writing that text was to tell future generations that her previous perception was not wrong.
The Golden Crow Sword is in the human world. She hopes that future generations will search for it so that they can reestablish Dongjun. She gave the location where she sensed it, and also analyzed it based on some clues given by the Ruyi Sword, and analyzed a general situation to remind everyone.
We need to find it as soon as possible, otherwise..."
Xiang Yangzi said happily: "So she knows where the Golden Crow Sword is? That's great, it will be easy for you to find it."
Tang Zhao smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that easy. It would have been better if I had gone looking for it in the first place. The longer it took, the harder it would be. Now I can no longer go alone. I have to go back and report to you to find a way..."
Xiang Yangzi wondered: "What a coincidence, could it be that the Golden Crow Sword is there..."
Tang Zhao replied briefly: "In Yunzhou."
After saying "Oh" to Yangzi, Ling Baoyu said thoughtfully, "That makes sense. Your Highness also left the word Yunzhou behind." In a few words, she threw the Ruyi Sword at her at Mingzhu Bay, the last unspoken message.
He said, "If you want to look for the Golden Crow Sword, you can look for it. If I can help, we can go together. But what is the relationship between Dongjun and our Highness?"
Dongjun is not her father, so she doesn't care where Dongjun goes.
Tang Zhaodao: "So I'm going to talk about my guess. The clear words Bai Ni left were all about Dongjun, but the words she finally carved on the coffin board were not only regrets, but also pleadings. She wrote
Mingming asked Dongjun for help, and asked people to ask for help from Dongjun. But she knew clearly that Dongjun was dead, but still asked people to ask for help. Maybe she hoped that she could even ask for help from Dongjun who came later, and then used Dongjun's power to save something."
Ling Baoyu said: "Don't you ask Dong Jun for help to rescue Bai Yujing?"
Tang Zhaodao: "You can think so, but I think it may be more than that. If she left late enough, she should have known that almost all the people here were killed in the battle, and all that was left was the building. Even if Bai Yujing cast a shadow,
It is equivalent to a 'relic'. Will it really become a knot in her heart before she dies, desperately carved on the coffin board? And what she wrote is asking for help, not 'revenge'. Only living people need to ask for help, right?
She wants to seek help from Dongjun to rescue..."
He took a deep breath and said, "Could it be Ruyi Jian himself?"
Ling Baoyu reacted like he was struck by lightning and said: "Wait a minute, you mean..."
Tang Zhaodao: "Yes, I don't even know who Xin Dongjun is, but I decided to ask Dongjun for help. Naturally, I think Dongjun's power is effective. Maybe it's because Dongjun's power can absolutely restrain the enemy? I guess,
Although it’s a pity… the Ruyi Sword should be at Wang Liang’s place.”
