The prince held the bamboo book and said slowly: ""The Record of Nufu Sect" is the treasure book of Nufu Sect. Nufu Sect has hundreds of thousands of followers. With "Record of Nufu Sect", you can give orders to Nufu Sect, you know
What?"
Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said, "I've heard of it."
"Two months ago, this bamboo book appeared in my arms. I don't know where it came from, but I know it will kill me.
If my father sees it, it will kill me. If my mother sees it, it will kill me. If anyone in the clan sees it, it will kill me. They will say that I am treasonous and rebel.
You will kill my head, do you know that?"
Xu Zhiqiong nodded: "I know."
"I want to throw it away, but as long as it leaves me for more than a hundred steps, it will come back to my arms, you know?"
"I saw it," Xu Zhiqiong nodded, "but why didn't His Highness destroy it?"
"It cannot be destroyed!" The prince took the bamboo book and burned it on the candle, but the bamboo book did not catch fire.
The prince tore it hard with both hands, but no trace of the bamboo book was damaged.
The prince dropped the bamboo book to the ground, drew his sword and chopped it down.
Not even a single sword mark was left on the bamboo book.
"You have seen it, it cannot be destroyed."
This is really amazing.
Who came up with such a vicious method to frame the prince?
The prince continued: "I have thought of all the ways. I even went to Anshuyuan to find someone for help."
The prince finally talked about An Shuyuan.
Xu Zhiqiong asked carefully: "Is there anyone in Anshu Courtyard?"
"Yes, I thought she could help me, but she couldn't. I met you that day, and I knew you were that mouse."
This is the question Xu Zhiqiong wants to know the most: "How do you know that rat is me?"
"My eyes can see souls!" The prince's eyes were bloodshot and his pupils turned red. Being looked at by him like this, Xu Zhiqiong felt chills running down his spine.
The prince stared at Xu Zhiqiong: "I can see that you are the only one willing to save me. Are you willing to save me?"
are you willing?
It depends on how you say it.
Xu Zhiqiong really doesn't want to get involved in the feud between the royal family.
If he said that the prince regarded him as a brother, that would be a joke. Even if the prince was serious, Xu Zhiqiong would not want to climb such a high branch.
The king of a country falls out too quickly. Even if the prince is just the crown prince, he may not be soft when he falls out.
But he did save Xu Zhiqiong.
If there had been a fight with the Sixth Princess just now, no matter who wins or loses, the consequences will be disastrous. From this point of view, Xu Zhiqiong owes the prince.
What you owe must be repaid, Xu Zhiqiong has never been ambiguous on this point.
He picked up "The Record of Angry Ancestors" and flipped through it. The prince said beside him: "You can't understand it."
"Who says you can't understand? I know every word!"
I can recognize every word, but I really can't understand them together. The words are arranged in a chaotic manner, and even the most basic meaning of the text is unclear.
Is this volume "Records of Angry Ancestors" true or false?
It must be true. If it is false, it will not be able to frame the prince at all.
This volume is written in cipher text. Xu Zhiqiong is no stranger to cipher text. "Hua Gu Scroll" is written in cipher text. In terms of the level of cipher text alone, "Hua Gu Scroll" is better than this volume.
"The Nu Zu Jing" is even more clever. Even if you don't decipher the secret text, "Hua Gu Scroll" can still be read, while "The Nu Zu Lu" is completely unreadable.
Putting the content of "The Record of the Wrathful Ancestor" aside for now, the most urgent thing is to think of how to save the prince.
If you want the prince to get rid of this "Lu of Angry Ancestors", you have to start with the origin of this book. First, who gave this bamboo scroll to the prince? Second, who made this bamboo scroll.
It seems that the first problem is easier to solve, but in fact there is no way to start.
The prince is not a lunatic, but in the eyes of outsiders, he does have serious mental problems. There are countless people in the clan who want to frame the prince and then seek the position of crown prince. Liang Yuming is one of them, and the sixth princess Liang Yuyao is probably one of them.
one.
The second question is somewhat unclear, who produced this book?
The prince shook his head and said: "The Record of Nuzu was written during the reign of Taizu, which is more than seven hundred years ago. Where can it be traced back?"
Xu Zhiqiong was shocked by the reign of King Zuo for more than seven hundred years, but the dynasty was blessed by the True God Canglong, and it was reasonable for the country to last long.
This is not the crux of the issue.
"We need to know who wrote this book, regardless of when "The Record of the Wrathful Ancestors" was written."
The prince blinked and said, "Why can't I understand this? Isn't this book "The Record of Angry Ancestors"?"
Xu Zhiqiong held the bamboo book and said: "Let's just look at this scroll. No matter what kind of book it is, this bamboo scroll is invulnerable to swords, water and fire. It proves that it must be made by the superb Mohist craftsmanship. Your Highness, you know Gao Pin
A Mohist craftsman?"
"I recognize Ye Ansheng, the owner of the Ascetic Training Workshop. He has a fourth-grade cultivation level."
"Ask him to come and destroy this book."
The prince shook his head and said, "I can't trust him."
"Besides him, do you know any other Mohist cultivators?"
"I know two of the fourth-grade ones, and more than a dozen of the fifth-grade ones."
"Can't you believe it?"
The prince nodded and said, "It's a matter of life and death, and I can't trust anyone."
He couldn't believe any of them, and Xu Zhiqiong had nothing to do.
Call Niu Yuxian?
Niu Yuxian hasn't reached the eighth level yet, so with his cultivation level, I'm afraid he won't be able to destroy this book.
Even if he had this ability, it would be impossible for the prince to trust Niu Yuxian.
The Mo family has no choice but to take this road.
Xu Zhiqiong thought for a moment and then said: "Your Highness, let's bury this book first."
"It's no use burying it. I tried it, and it was still in my arms the next day, without even a speck of sand on it."
"Bury it again and let me see what happens."
The two of them buried the bamboo book together. Xu Zhiqiong said: "Your Highness, please go farther away. I will watch from here."
The prince walked further away, and after just a hundred steps, the bamboo book appeared in his arms again. As expected, it was not stained by any soil.
Xu Zhiqiong dug up the place where the books were buried, but found nothing inside.
If this book grew legs on its own and ran back to the prince's arms, it proves that there may be a Mohist organ in this book.
However, the soil where the book was buried has not been opened, and there is no tunnel in the pit. This proves that the bamboo book did not move by itself, but was displaced in space, which proves that there is a Yin and Yang magic circle on the book.
"Your Highness, are there any Yin-Yang cultivators you know well?"
"I know Taibu as well."
"But you can't trust him?"
"Who dares to believe that old fox!"
This makes sense. Xu Zhiqiong still doesn't know the purpose of Taibu's investigation of "The Record of Nuzu".
"Presumably other Yin-Yang cultivators can't believe it, right?"
The prince looked at Xu Zhiqiong and said, "Except for you and that person from An Shuyuan, I can't trust anyone!"
"Thank you, Prince, for your kindness." Xu Zhiqiong was embarrassed.
The prince could not trust anyone but Xu Zhiqiong, but Xu Zhiqiong could not destroy the book, nor could he unravel the yin and yang magic circle in the book.
By the way, there is also the one from An Shuyuan.
"Can I destroy this book by joining forces with that master from An Shuyuan?"
"I'm afraid not," the prince shook his head and said, "That person doesn't know Yin Yang magic, nor does she know the Mohist art, and she doesn't want to meet strangers. What if you go and can't come back?"
"This is going to be difficult."
The two of them fell into deep thought.
…
In Yuyao Palace, red bricks, red tiles, red walls, red columns, pavilions and pavilions are all painted in red, and the courtyard is full of red flowers.
The sixth princess Liang Yuyao put on a red dress, took a sip of tea, and looked sad.
Han Di, his face covered with bandages, served carefully and asked softly: "Your Highness, what was found?"
Liang Yuyao rolled her eyes at Han Di: "I asked you to have a good health, but why are you here? Are you here to see my joke?"
Han Di hurriedly saluted and said: "I don't dare, I am. I was bullied too much by Xu Zhiqiong. I hope your highness will avenge me."
"What you say makes sense," Liang Yuyao was silent for a moment and then told Han Di, "Call Tao Huayuan."
Han Di went out to call for someone, and not long after, a woman in red came to the main hall.
"Go to the censorship station and instruct the two censors, Zhang and Wu, to read a copy of the Imperial City Department and say that the Deng Yamen is arrogant, domineering and violent, causing public resentment. Wu Xu should be dismissed from his post and investigated!"
Tao Huayuan took the order and left.
Gu Zhi
Liang Yuyao said angrily: "Zhong Shen, Wu Xu, these two madmen have found out about me!"
Han Di was shocked and said: "Xu Zhiqiong is here to investigate His Highness?"
Liang Yuyao played with a red flower in her hand and whispered: "It's hard to say Wu Xu, that guy is used to being arrogant. Zhong Shen shouldn't have the courage. He must have been instructed by the prince.
This guy usually just pretends to be crazy and acts stupid, but now he has learned to strike first! I want to see who poisoned his hands today! Have you checked the news of "The Record of Angry Ancestors"?"
Han Di said: "My subordinate has just received news from the chamberlain Ge Wuquan. He has seen with his own eyes a bamboo scroll on the prince's body, called "The Record of the Wrathful Ancestors"."
Liang Yuyao said: "He is not frightened by your appearance, right?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I didn't see him tonight. I only had a few words with him across the screen."
Liang Yuyao smiled and said: "I really can't underestimate you, but you can even seduce eunuchs. I love you so much. I really saw the right person."
Han Di hurriedly saluted: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your cultivation."
"Go and call Pang Jiafen and Shi Yanru. You can go down and rest."
Pang Jiafen and Shi Yanru are the oldest maids and the highest-ranking red envoys in the Red Pavilion.
Call them to come and prove that you are going to do something big.
"Your Highness, do you want to issue a red coat order?"
Liang Yuyao frowned and said, "You talk too much today."
Han Di saluted again: "Your Highness, I would like to have a long experience with you and learn some real skills from you."
"How do you gain knowledge?" Liang Yuyao said with a smile, "You are not good at cultivation, and you rely on your face to do everything. Now that your face is like this, you still want to go out and embarrass yourself? I regard you as a confidant, and you should strive for your own success. Come on, go back and recuperate. Only half of what happened tonight will be revealed, so watch your tongue."
…
The prince and Xu Zhiqiong were thinking about countermeasures. From Zi Shi to Yin Shi, it was almost dawn.
Xu Zhiqiong yawned and said, "Your Highness, I can't think of anything to do tonight, so I'll take a rest first."
The prince shook his head and said, "I can't sleep. I haven't been able to sleep for several nights."
"You can't sleep, but I'm going to sleep."
"I can't sleep, how can you sleep? Aren't we brothers?"
"Brothers have to sleep too!"
While he was talking, Lu Yunxi, the chamberlain of the East Palace, ran in with sweat on his face and gasped: "Your Highness, the Sixth Princess is bringing the red-clothed command arrows and leading the people from the Red-clothed Pavilion to search our East Palace!"
The prince gritted his teeth and said: "This shrew finally attacked me! Let her search, let her search everything. I'll see what she finds!"
Lu Yunxi seemed to know something inside, and came to the ear of the prince: "The Sixth Princess is searching for His Highness everywhere, and Bingjingwu will be found soon!"
The prince said angrily: "Why do you still want to search me?"
Xu Zhiqiong was confused after hearing this?
What Hongyi Pavilion?
What red arrow?
Search the East Palace?
Are you still searching for the prince?
"Who dares to search the prince except His Majesty the Emperor?"
The prince first asked Lu Yunxi to go out and guard, then turned to Xu Zhiqiong and said: "You don't know, my father established the Red Clothes Pavilion last year. Liang Yuyao is the master of the pavilion and is responsible for supervising everyone in the palace. As long as the red clothes arrows are used, everyone except my father will
They don’t dare to search, they can search anyone else they want!”
The power of these six princesses is so great.
This prince is so cowardly.
There are forbidden troops, eunuchs, ice wells, and the Hongyi Pavilion in the palace. The emperor is living a very careful life!
What should I do? If "The Record of Angry Ancestors" is found, the prince will be finished and I will also be implicated.
While thinking about it, Lu Yunxi opened the door and said: "Your Highness, the Sixth Princess is here with the envoy in red!"
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Go out first and block them for a while."
Lu Yunxi panicked and said, "How can I stop him!"
The prince said angrily: "Go if you are told!"
As soon as Lu Yunxi left, Xu Zhiqiong said to the prince: "Give me the Record of the Wrathful Ancestors."
"What's the use of giving it to you? This thing has to be returned to me a hundred steps away! You go first, don't implicate you!"
"Just give it to me first!"
Xu Zhiqiong took "The Record of Angry Ancestors" and turned around to enter the back room. In the blink of an eye, the Sixth Princess was already outside the door.
"Your Highness, come out!" Liang Yuyao shouted outside the door.
The prince snorted coldly: "I won't go out!"
"If you don't go out, I'm going to come in!"
"Don't come in, I have no clothes on."
Liang Yuyao smiled and said: "What are you afraid of? We grew up together. Is there anything in you that I haven't seen? Prince, listen to my sister, take out what you should take out. Father knows that you are always crazy."
Silly, I won’t blame you.”
"You're crazy and stupid! I don't have anything, so hurry up and leave!"
"In this case, my sister will be offended!"
After saying this, Liang Yuyao kicked open the door and shouted: "Search for me!"
The prince said angrily: "Let me see who dares to touch me!"
Pang Jiafen and Shi Yanru both had sixth-grade killing skills. The prince struggled hard, but was no match for them. After being subdued, he searched them from head to toe and found nothing.
The prince shouted: "Search, keep searching, let me see what you can find!"
The sixth princess rolled her eyes and asked: "Where is Xu Zhiqiong?"
"What Xu Zhiqiong?" The prince pretended to be confused, "Which Xu Zhiqiong are you talking about?"
"You go to Bingjingwu every day, but you don't even know the supervisor?" Liang Yuyao sneered, "Hand Xu Zhiqiong over. If I find him, I will kill him immediately!"
"Hand it over, hand it over..." The prince didn't know how to answer, but suddenly he saw Xu Zhiqiong walking out of the back room.
"I have met Her Highness the Princess." Xu Zhiqiong gave a calm salute. Before he could say anything, the Sixth Princess immediately ordered: "Search him too!"
Two red-clothed envoys stepped forward and held Xu Zhiqiong down. Xu Zhiqiong blushed and said, "You can't do it. You can't do it. You can't move there. If there is a foundation, be careful and be gentle..."
I searched high and low and still found nothing.
The sixth princess was a little panicked.
The prince said angrily: "After searching for a long time, what are you going to search for?"
The princess did not answer, but ordered the two envoys in red: "Search this house carefully for me."
Two envoys in red searched carefully, even splitting Xu Zhiqiong's bed, but still found nothing.
The prince gritted his teeth and said: "Liang Yuyao, this matter is not over yet. Let's go to our father to discuss it tomorrow!"
Liang Yuyao sneered: "You don't have to wait until tomorrow. I'm going to see my father now. It's still too late for you to hand over the things. If you wait for your father to search them out in person, you have to be careful with your life!"
After speaking, Liang Yuyao took the people away.
If it were anyone else, she would have asked the envoy in red to take the suspect into custody.
But this is the prince after all, and she doesn't dare to go too far.
After waiting for a long time, the sixth princess was indeed gone. The prince gasped and said, "Where did you put that thing?"
Xu Zhiqiong said: "It's an extremely secret place."
"No matter how secretive it is, it's useless. Liang Yuyao will definitely make trouble to my father. My father will call me over. As long as I leave this place, that thing will come back to me."
Xu Zhiqiong thought for a long time, shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. Your Highness, please give it a try with me."
The two of them left the house and walked more than a hundred steps. Xu Zhiqiong asked: "Have the things come back?"
The prince touched his chest and said with surprise: "No, I really haven't come back!"
Xu Zhiqiong said: "It's better to be cautious. Take a closer look to see if it has slipped into your clothes."
"That's right, let me take a closer look!"
The prince took off his clothes, and Xu Zhiqiong helped the prince take off his clothes.
Halfway through taking off his clothes, eunuch Chen Shuncai, the eunuch Bingbi, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, came to him, covered his eyes and said, "Your Highness, what are you doing?"
"Do nothing." The prince quickly put on his clothes.
Chen Shuncai looked at Xu Zhiqiong and then at the prince: "Your Majesty has a decree that the prince go to Tianzhang Pavilion."
"What do you want me to do? Did Liang Yuyao accuse me of being a treacherous person so soon?" The prince put his hands on his hips and returned to his crazy look.
Chen Shuncai said: "The Sixth Princess hasn't arrived yet. Your Majesty has already known about the big commotion in the East Palace."
"It's good that your father knows. You can't take advantage of that shrew!" The prince straightened his waist and was about to leave with Chen Shuncai when he saw Chen Shuncai saying to Xu Zhiqiong: "Xu Denglang, let's go together!"
Xu Zhiqiong blinked: "Am I going too?"
Chen Shuncai frowned and said, "Are you able to get out of this matter?"
