Chapter 109: Who is the mastermind behind the scenes?
Yuan Dynasty?
The mother is not in the Dawu Dynasty. Is the queen also related to the Yuan Dynasty?
Xiao Changfeng's heart was shaken, and Lin Ruoyu gently put her hand on his shoulder, silently comforting him.
"Tell me more about it!"
Xiao Changfeng closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were clear.
The Sword King did not dare to hide it and spoke quickly.
"Twelve years ago, a strange thing happened in the palace. Everyone, including Your Majesty, suffered from a strange disease. Their abdomen was as big as pregnancy, their whole body was numb, and they could not speak. There was a great uproar at that time, and many skilled doctors were helpless.
.”
The Sword King's face was solemn as he spoke eloquently.
"Later, a wandering monk appeared and used some method to cure the disease."
"I don't know what happened in the palace. I only know that after the wandering monks left, Concubine Xuan disappeared. There were rumors in the palace that Concubine Xuan died of illness, but no funeral was held and no one ever saw her.
Pass his body."
The Sword King spoke again, making Xiao Changfeng's eyes narrow.
"Later, someone saw the wandering monk in the Yuan Dynasty. It is said that at that time, the wandering monk was covered in shackles and carrying a black wooden coffin."
"But since then, this wandering monk has disappeared and no one has seen him again."
"So we speculate that Concubine Xuan was probably taken away by the wandering monk, and she is suspected to be in the Yuan Dynasty."
Having said this, the Sword King stopped talking and had already finished narrating.
Strange disease?
Wandering monk?
Black wood coffin?
Xiao Changfeng frowned. He was too young back then and many of his memories were blurred.
It seems that there was indeed such a strange disease at that time.
He was also locked in Yuming Palace and was not allowed to go out.
It was also at that time that after he came out of Yuming Palace, he was told that his mother had died of illness.
As for the wandering monk, he had never seen it, and no one had ever mentioned it to him.xdw8
"But why does Xiao Dilin know? Is this wandering monk related to the queen?"
Xiao Changfeng narrowed his eyes slightly.
He discovered that the truth was much more complicated than he thought.
It's as if there is an invisible big hand controlling everything behind the scenes.
Back in the Yin-Yang Academy, Xiao Dilin threatened him without hesitation.
From this point of view, it is very likely that the mother is not dead.
And this matter must be related to the Queen, otherwise Xiao Dilin would not know these secrets at his age.
"The source of everything comes from that strange disease!"
Xiao Changfeng's eyes were cold, and he found the key from the simple message.
There are many powerful people in the palace, and there are even saints, otherwise Lin Ruoyu's father would not have thought of getting married in the first place.
However, this strange disease covered the entire palace, and even the Martial Emperor in the Imperial Martial Realm was not spared.
As for the powerful man in the palace and the legendary saint, it is unknown.
However, Xiao Changfeng would never believe it if he said that the saint didn't know anything about it.
From this point of view, the saint was at least aware of this matter, but whether he was involved in it remains to be verified.
"It seems that behind the queen, there is a giant. Her natal family, the Duke of Wei, obviously does not have such power, so who is it?"
The cold light in Xiao Changfeng's eyes became colder and colder.
"In other words, the target of all this is my mother. As for the strange diseases and wandering monks, they are just a cover-up."
"Could it be that they are from my mother's family?"
Zhou Zhenghao once said that his mother came from a very large family, and she escaped from marriage.
Perhaps, the huge statue behind the queen has something to do with this family.
However, there are currently too few clues for Xiao Changfeng to be certain.
"Perhaps my father also knows something about this matter. When I return to Kyoto this time, I will start investigating this strange disease."
Xiao Changfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, and the cold light in his eyes was extremely cold.
"No matter who dares to hurt my mother, I will cut him into pieces. If the sky suppresses me, I will defy the sky. If the gods stop me, I will kill the gods."
Xiao Changfeng spoke word by word, his eyes cold.
Such cold murderous intent made King Yun and others unable to help but tremble all over, as if falling into an ice cellar.
Lin Ruoyu said nothing, but held Xiao Changfeng's hand tightly with worried eyes.
After a while, Xiao Changfeng suppressed the murderous intention in his heart.
"Don't worry, I'm fine!"
Xiao Changfeng smiled again and patted the back of Lin Ruoyu's hand.
Eat the meal one bite at a time.
The road must be walked step by step.
Haste makes waste, Xiao Changfeng knows this very well.
Just like in cultivation, if you blindly pursue speed without seeking a solid foundation, then even if you become a saint, you will only be strong on the outside and strong on the inside.
The mother's matter is shrouded in mystery, and more and more people and forces are involved, making it complicated.
What has surfaced now is just the tip of the iceberg.
I'm afraid that having my martial soul stolen was also part of it.
But no matter how difficult it is, no matter how difficult it is, Xiao Changfeng will not give up.
"This time when I return to Kyoto, I need to focus on investigating the strange disease incident twelve years ago."
Xiao Changfeng had a plan in mind.
Thinking of this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the four sword kings.
"You did a great job this time."
Four brand marks fell on the eyebrows of the four Sword Kings. This was a reward given to them by Xiao Changfeng.
"I have a new task for you next. At the next year-end summary meeting, I hope that all your Tao seeds have been taken back by me."
Xiao Changfeng spoke in a deep voice, and the four Sword Kings suddenly looked happy.
"First, go to the Yuan Dynasty and explore the place where the wandering monks last appeared."
"Second, trace the strange disease incident for twelve years."
"Third, we must be alert to whether this may be the enemy misleading us, so we still have to start from a state of ignorance."
"If these three things are completed, the Tao seed will be harvested. If not, you will experience the power of the Tao seed again."
Xiao Changfeng's voice echoed throughout the Qinglong Mountain.
The words were full of determination, which surprised and delighted the four Sword Kings.
"We will go all out to complete these three things and live up to the master's orders."
The four of them knelt on one knee and solemnly accepted the order.
"Prince Yun, Su Qinglian, you two can also investigate from these three aspects. You will cooperate with each other in the future. As long as you can handle this matter well, I will definitely reward you heavily."
Xiao Changfeng turned around and gave instructions to King Yun and Su Qinglian.
"I will obey the master's orders!"
King Yun and Su Qinglian also knelt on one knee and responded solemnly.
The year-end summary meeting is here, it is almost over.
Xiao Changfeng is quite satisfied with the large network he has woven.
He believes that as he continues to grow stronger, this network will one day spread throughout the world.
When the time comes, you will have the power to protect everything.
Xiao Changfeng was about to speak and end the meeting.
Suddenly he frowned and looked up outside Qinglong Mountain.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Ruoyu tilted her head and asked doubtfully.
Xiao Changfeng's eyes lit up, as if he could see through everything.
