The relationship had eased, and Xia Shang stopped flirting with Guan Chan and took her with him to prepare to return to the cave.
Xia Shang had just walked a few steps when Shangguanchan said behind him: "Don't go back in a hurry. I happen to have something to ask you."
Xia Shang was stunned and turned around: "What's the matter?"
Shangguan Chan had a happy expression and walked slowly to Xia Shang and whispered: "You seem to be very clear about the purpose of our Red Flower Club's operation?"
Xia Shang had nothing to hide and nodded: "This is natural."
"Since it is so clear, I must have heard the legend of the general outline of the Heavenly Book."
"yes."
"You serve in the imperial court. Do you know whether the general outline of the book was carried by Yue Yanzhi or hidden by Yue Yanzhi?"
Xia Shang narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that this woman suddenly seemed to have another purpose for being so kind to him. Looking at her look, could it be that she wanted to get something out of me?
Any man who encounters this situation will feel a little unhappy.
But Xia Shang was only a little unhappy and did not feel that he had anything to hide. He replied: "You should ask this question, is the news about the general outline of the Heavenly Book true or false?"
Shangguanchan didn't understand and was confused: "What does this mean?"
"Seeing that you are so sure about your question, you certainly have good reasons to believe in the accuracy of the news. But the facts are completely different from what you think. The news that Yue Yanzhi took away the outline of the Heavenly Book was false from the beginning."
"False? This is impossible!" Shangguanchan said firmly.
But when she finished speaking and saw Xia Shang's serious expression, she also had some doubts.
If the person who told her this was not Xia Shang, Shangguanchan would never have any doubts. But the key point is that Xia Shang is the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and a celebrity around the emperor. He knows many internal secrets of the court. And he has intervened in this matter.
Among them, you must know some things that others don't know.
If Xia Shang said that Yue Yanzhi did not take away the general outline of the Book of Heaven, this would be somewhat convincing.
Xia Shang continued to explain: "To tell you the truth, I got involved in this matter because I was secretly ordered by the court to get rid of Yue Yanzhi. But why Yue Yanzhi offended the court is still unknown. But no matter what
Whatever the reason, it will definitely not be that he got the general outline of the Book of Heaven and absconded as you said. Because the source of this news itself came from my mouth. This is just a reason I used to use the power of the world to get rid of Yue Yanzhi.
.”
"Did you spread it through your mouth?" Shangguanchan frowned even more tightly, "I don't believe it, you don't have any reason."
"Because Yue Yanzhi has a great reputation among the gentry. After the death of Mr. Dongyue three years ago, the court deeply understood how much impact the death of a scholar would have on society. In order to prevent Yue Yanzhi's death
I had nothing to do with the imperial court, so I didn’t choose to do it myself at first. So I came up with the idea of luring the Jianghu forces to get rid of Yue Yanzhi. The only thing that interested the Jianghu forces was the Heavenly Book, so I thought of an excuse.
It is said that Yue Yanzhi stole the General Compendium of the Heavenly Book hidden in the palace, which made you crazy."
Shangguanchan didn't speak, as if he was carefully analyzing the credibility of what Xia Shang said and thinking about the details of the news he had received before.
Xia Shang did not hide anything in his words, and he did not want to hide anything from Shangguanchan. In order to let the other party know his sincerity, Xia Shang continued to add.
"You can think about your experiences along the way. Yue Yanzhi is just a scholar. What did he do by stealing the Summary of the Heavenly Book? The Summary of the Heavenly Book is a treasure to people in the martial arts world, but to a scholar it is just a pile of waste paper. He deserves to risk it
Would he risk his life to protect something that is useless to him? If he really had the outline of the Heavenly Book, he should have handed it over long ago when he fell into the hands of the Ancient Sword Sect, otherwise he would not have been tortured like this. What would you do if it were you?
Choose? No matter where you got the 'exact news' from, after listening to my words, you should understand the loopholes in it, right? So, after you understand this, you should stop as soon as possible and stop going into this quagmire.
Mixed."
Xia Shang felt a little dry after saying so much, but now he was more concerned about the thoughts of the woman in front of him. He really hoped that Shangguan Chan would wake up in time and stop taking such dangerous actions.
After a while, Shangguan Chan stared into Xia Shang's eyes: "You are telling me this, don't you hope that the General Program of the Heavenly Book will return to the control of the imperial court and prevent the General Program of the Heavenly Book from falling into the Jianghu?"
"You..." Xia Shang was angry and thought to himself: How can I be like this?
I got involved with a woman, she is really a woman who doesn’t care about oil or salt!
Seeing Xia Shang's angry look, Shangguanchan softened: "You, a liar, have deceived too many people. Anyone who believes in you easily will not have good results. I also want to be more thoughtful."
Xia Shang was also unconvinced: "Don't you want the Book of Heaven? I'll just give you a volume of the Book of Heaven. Then you should believe that I'm just simply worried about your safety, right?"
"What?!" Shangguan Chan was shocked and froze on the spot.
Xia Shang was not joking, and quickly took out a volume of heavenly book that he carried with him.
Of the four volumes of the Heavenly Book obtained by Xia and Shang, three were hidden in three different places, and one of them was carried with him.
This volume is a manuscript given by Master Chu Fengtian. Xia Shang completely messed up the order of the pages, so even if someone gets it, they won't be able to tell anything.
Xia Shang took out the manuscript and did not give it to Shangguanchan immediately. Instead, he carefully arranged the order of the pages.
Shangguan Chan didn't understand the reason and asked: "What are you doing?"
"The Heavenly Book is not trivial. In order to prevent others from getting it, I specially disordered the order of the pages. Now I have to rearrange them. Otherwise, even if I give it to you, you won't be able to understand it."
Shangguanchan was a little surprised, even a little suspicious, thinking how could anyone in the world take the initiative to give away the Heavenly Book? Maybe this was a trick he played to please himself?
But seeing Xia Shang carefully sorting out the pages of the book, if he really wanted to give a fake heavenly book, he wouldn't bother to sort it out, right?
Shangguanchan walked over and put her little hand on the back of Xia Shang's hand: "Are you really willing to give it to me?"
"Of course!" Xia Shang looked relaxed and natural, "Whether you admit it or not, I will treat you as my woman anyway. As long as I have what my woman wants, how can I not give it to you?"
Normally, Shangguan Chan would definitely have to defend what Xia Shang said, but this time she was surprisingly quiet and made no move. She let go and continued to watch Xia Shang sort out.
After a quarter of an hour, Xia Shang finally put the pages in order and handed them to Shangguan Chan: "Here."
"Are you really willing to give it to me?"
Xia Shang didn't say anything more and stuffed the Book of Heaven into Shangguanchan's arms with a calm expression, and didn't think it was a big deal.
