"Don't worry, everything has stopped. The old gentleman can leave the capital at any time if he wants."
"I knew that the meridian diagram you drew back then was bound to cause some trouble, but I never thought that the meridian diagram you drew back then was actually the outline of the legendary Book of Heaven."
The two were talking, and Zhuo Yuan on the side was suddenly shocked: "Father, what did you say? The meridian diagram is Master Xia..."
Zhuo Bufan looked at Zhuo Yuan, and then nodded: "I told you before, that meridian diagram was given by a friend. This friend is Xia Xiaosheng!"
"Lord Xia...you gave the outline of the Heavenly Book that is coveted by everyone in the world to my father so easily?"
Xia Shang smiled bitterly: "If I had known that the meridian diagram was the outline of the Heavenly Book, I would not have told anyone anything."
"..."
"However, there is one thing I haven't figured out. It stands to reason that no one should have read the General Outline of the Heavenly Book, so why did the news leak out? Who saw Mr. Zhuo's meridian diagram and knew that it was the General Outline of the Heavenly Book?"
"I didn't know it at first, but during the period when I was imprisoned by the Japanese, I heard them talking while pretending to sleep. It seems that a certain prince of our Dahua has seen the general outline of the Book of Heaven, and not long ago, he also
I saw Laochan's meridian diagram somewhere, and the news was later leaked."
“A certain prince?”
Hearing the word Li Yong, Zhuo Yuan seemed to have thought of something and muttered to himself: "Could it be..."
"What did you think of?" Seeing Zhuo Yuan's strange expression, Xia Shang asked anxiously.
It turned out that one month ago, King Yong suddenly felt a headache, so he asked Zhuo Yuan to give King Yong acupuncture treatment.
During the treatment, one of the guards around King Yong noticed that Zhuo Yuan's acupuncture method was a bit weird, and said that there were no acupuncture points where he injected the needle, and suspected that Zhuo Yuan wanted to harm King Yong.
In order to prove his innocence, Zhuo Yuan said that this was an acupuncture method passed down from his family. As for the acupuncture points, it was because there were no labels in the traditional meridian map, but his father's meridian map recorded more and more precise acupuncture points.
Then he also drew a simple diagram for King Yong.
At that time, King Yong was very shocked and asked Zhuo Yuan this and that.
Zhuo Yuan was very surprised at that time. He felt that as a prince, why was he so interested in acupuncture points?
Unfortunately, Zhuo Yuan did not have the opportunity to read the entire meridian diagram. Even if he had seen some meridian diagrams, he could not remember them all, so when pressed by King Yong, he said that he had not finished studying the meridian diagrams, and only his father had treasured one copy.
After hearing this news, the result was very obvious. It was obvious that Li Yong learned from Zhuo Yuan's description that the meridian diagram hidden by Zhuo Bufan was the general outline of the Book of Heaven.
As for when Li Yong saw the general outline of the Book of Heaven?
Xia Shang thought of the battle at Xiantao Mountain a few years ago, when the three princes were secretly summoned by the emperor to the palace and imprisoned for a month.
It is estimated that the emperor was already entrusting his funeral affairs at that time. As the biggest secret of the Great China royal family, it seems reasonable to entrust the outline of the Heavenly Book to his son to read.
It's just that Xia Shang couldn't guess what the three princes went through at that time. Why did Li Xin become disabled?
"I have recently felt that someone is following me, so I realized that someone might have set their sights on the meridian map. After some hesitation, I decided to burn the meridian map. Fortunately, I burned the meridian map first, so that I could not save it."
Let this thing fall into the hands of the Japanese."
"Since Li Yong knew all this first, how did the Japanese know about it?" Zhuo Yuan was a little doubtful.
"Because the prince who has been colluding with the Japanese is King Yong!" Xia Shang said in a deep voice.
An accidental conversation suddenly made Xia Shang's doubts clear.
Xia Shang always felt that the Japanese people had contacts with the forces of Dahua, otherwise the Japanese people's hiding in Dahua would not be so smooth, and many incidents showed that the Japanese people had news in advance.
Xia Shang had previously determined that Li Xiangyang was operating behind the scenes.
Because a few years ago, Li Xiangyang united with the Japanese people to attack Shuiyue Villa, which confirmed the relationship between Li Xiangyang and the Japanese people.
From then on, Xia Shang subconsciously suspected Li Xiangyang whenever anything involved the Japanese people.
And a lot of evidence points to Li Xiangyang.
But some of these evidences are too rough and too obvious.
Based on Xia Shang's understanding of Li Xiangyang, if this person really had colluded with the Japanese, he should have been more vigilant and proper in his hiding and arrangement, and would not have left such obvious evidence.
For example, the so-called ironclad evidence found by Li Zijin.
Also, Xia Shang did not believe that Li Zijin could find out the real murderer of Li Xin with his own ability.
But Li Zijin was so sure that it was Li Xiangyang who was behind this, which only shows that he was treated as a pawn from the beginning to the end.
The purpose is to attract people to become enemies of Li Xiangyang!
Xia Shang thought, and his heart became heavier. He said goodbye to Mr. Zhuo and headed towards the Prince's Mansion impatiently.
…
These days, Mr. Xia opposite has become a frequent visitor to the Prince's Mansion. As all the retainers guarding the gate know, Mr. Xia's visits to the mansion are just like relatives visiting the house. He doesn't need to say hello and just goes inside without anyone stopping him.
.
"Where is the prince? Where is the prince?"
Xia Shang was shouting alone in the courtyard. Everyone looked at him speechlessly, thinking that he was the only person in the world who could be called the prince like this.
Xia Shang was taken to the living room first, and after a while, Li Xiangyang came.
"What? You came to ask for someone from me? But there is no need to discuss the matter. I followed your wishes and came out in full force. In the process, I killed another master. That Japanese prince will not be handed over to you for interrogation under any circumstances."
"I'm not here to ask you for help!"
"Oh?" Xia Shang's answer surprised Li Xiangyang, and then he looked at him seriously.
"You should know."
"what do you know?"
"Someone is secretly targeting you."
Li Xiangyang was stunned and looked at Xia Shang's expression. He didn't know why this man hurried over and said something that he couldn't understand.
"King Yong, Li Yong! He was responsible for Li Zijin's death, right?"
Hearing Li Yong's name, Li Xiangyang slowly showed a smile: "What? Now I finally understand?"
"A few years ago, what exactly did the emperor do when he secretly allowed the three of you to enter the palace?"
Li Xiangyang did not answer immediately. He walked to the side and sat down, took a sip of tea and said, "Read the Heavenly Book."
"Understand the Heavenly Book?! As expected, I showed you the general outline of the Heavenly Book! You know what the general outline of the Heavenly Book is!"
"I know. That's why I haven't been very interested in the outline of the Heavenly Book. Now I want to grab it, but I don't want it to fall into the hands of others. Unless it falls into your hands."
"Why aren't you interested! Why would you feel relieved if you fell into my hands?"
