"Prime Minister." Zhuang Gaoxian pondered for a while, then looked at Du Ruhui and said, "Whether it's true or false, it's a taboo for the venerable, and a secret for those who have gone. There are some things I don't want to mention again."
"Yes." Du Ruhui responded earnestly: "Unfortunately, life has been difficult. The sudden death of the late emperor has caused many secrets. Otherwise, these things will not be known to the old minister, but your majesty should be aware of them."
Zhuang Gaoxian said that he would let past history go by and was unwilling to tear off his grandfather's fig leaf. This was also to safeguard his own legitimacy.
Du Ruhui agreed with this. He analyzed the truth and retrieved history. Just because as a king, you can choose to face, cover up or deny the truth, but you have to know the truth.
Zhuang Gaoxian looked higher up in the sky and stared directly at the scorching sun: "I obey the destiny of heaven and inherit the great unification. I promote civility and martial arts to expand the country's territory. Wherever the eyes can see, where the ambition goes. Wherever the ambition goes, there is no limit. Wanli?"
Du Ruhui knew that Zhuang Gaoxian still cared about his Shui tribe bloodline.
So he bowed and responded: "Your Majesty is of course the rightful and well-deserved lord of the country. He is not inferior to Yongming, and even better than Taizu! I have a strong heart, and I am willing to work hard and do it."
Zhuang Gaoxian turned around and stretched out his hands to support him: "I know the loyalty of the Prime Minister. Otherwise, I would not entrust the state affairs to him."
He thought for a moment and asked: "I have already investigated and found that the murderer who killed Prime Minister Dong is not in Qingjiang. Does Prime Minister Du want to continue to pursue it?"
Du Ruhui shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I went to the Water Mansion before because only the Qingjiang Water Mansion nearby could block my search. Now it seems that the murderer must have blocked my methods. After all, the Tianxi Jue is incomplete and has many shortcomings. But I am blindly confident. , Breaking into Qingjiang Water Mansion without authorization is really a bad idea."
"If it weren't for Prime Minister Du Meng Lang this time, how could I have known about the Devil's Cave? It was because of unintentional planting." Zhuang Gaoxian said with a smile, and then said: "Since Prime Minister Dong is unlucky and the murderer cannot be found, what will happen to this matter? Prime Minister Du must have a plan to deal with the aftermath."
Du Ruhui responded: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have my own plan to deal with it."
This monarch and his appearance talk to each other in the sky.
This is the most exciting time in life.
There are thousands of floating clouds around you, and vast tracts of mountains and rivers at your feet.
…
…
Zhuang Gaoxian and Du Ruhui have already left this ancient demon cave.
Song Hengjiang stayed where he was, slowly leaned down, and sat alone on the stone steps for a while.
The secret that had been concealed for two hundred and eighteen years was exposed today, and he felt very complicated in his heart.
But in any case, Zhuang Gaoxian did not fall out on the spot, and the Qingjiang Aquatic Tribe did not come to the worst ending. This should of course be a good thing.
He sat next to his sister's glazed coffin and tried to smile, but for some reason his face became cold and a few tears fell down.
With an existence like his, it would be impossible for him to shed tears.
This was the sadness two hundred and eighteen years ago, and it continues to this day.
The old man felt helpless and wiped away the tears and stood up again.
It's time to go, he told himself.
No matter how much I miss my sister.
Over the years, he has never stayed here for long, because the longer he stays, the more likely he is to be noticed. He cherishes the secrets here more than anyone else.
Taking one last look at his sister in the glass coffin, he turned around and walked out.
Everything in this abandoned ancient devil's cave was familiar to him.
He first discovered this place, which was one of his adventures when he was young. The cave on the right is Song Wanxi's boudoir. Because she said she liked the mystery of the underwater cave, she personally renovated a bedroom and occasionally stayed here.
.
Then that happened...
He took Song Wanxi away from Zhuang Palace and said he wanted to bury her in the ancient land of the ethnic group. In fact, he came here. While arranging for Song Wanxi to become a demon, he hid it from everyone and personally arranged a secret formation. He captured the Yin demon from the border and pretended to be a demon.
He entered the blood-patterned sarcophagus and used the demonic energy of these demons to support his possessed sister.
He once wandered here in silence, remembering the past alone. Those happy times were especially sad.
There isn't much time left, he thought.
The rickety old man walked alone to the outer cave, his nostalgic eyes swept over the blood-patterned sarcophagi, paused briefly, and finally looked at them for a week.
Then he walked slowly away along the entrance.
…
…
In the Qingjiang Water Mansion, in the bedroom of the eldest princess Song Wanxi.
Jiang Yan's voice was urgent: "Song Hengjiang has left and will return to Shuifu soon. That's now!"
Jiang Wang did not hesitate, and immediately moved the seal in the opposite direction. His whole body was enveloped in a clear light, and he returned to the underwater devil's cave in an instant.
This cave with a white jade floor and bright pearls as candles was probably Song Wanxi's boudoir in the underwater cave when she was "alive", and was connected to her room in the Water Mansion.
The styles are all the same.
"Is it safe now?"
Stepping on the finely carved floor tiles, Jiang Wang walked toward the outer cave where the blood-patterned sarcophagus was displayed, while asking questions in Tongtian Palace.
Jiang Yan responded seriously: "If Song Hengjiang doesn't come back, this place will be safe. But before Du Ruhui gives up the search completely, you must not leave this place..."
His words ended here, abruptly.
Something unexpected happened in Tongtian Palace!
The sea of divine soul flowers laid out in the Tongtian Palace withered instantly, and the listless star-twirling python suddenly rose up, its eyes turned dark, and with just one mouthful, it swallowed up all the hidden snakes hidden in the sea of divine soul flowers.
Jiang Wang's preparations to guard against his inner demons were instantly shattered.
And the star-twirling python, which had obviously been controlled by the inner demon, was flying towards Jiang Wang with a ferocious appearance.
When Zhuang Gaoxian, Du Ruhui, and Song Hengjiang had all left, this abandoned ancient devil's cave was already the safest and most secluded place, and no one could disturb it.
The inner demon that had fallen silent and seemed to have been suppressed suddenly launched an attack at this moment.
At this point, the dagger has appeared!
The incident happened so suddenly, Jiang Wang has been wandering on the edge of life and death, and his mind has been affected for a long time to the point of confusion, and it is difficult to wake up. At that time, he was listening to Jiang Yan's words, and what little attention he had left was also absorbed.
attract.
Analyzing it from any angle, it is difficult to come up with any other result. He should not be able to react to this attack at all.
But the black-eyed star python had just pounced in front of Jiang Wang's soul, and its bloody mouth had just opened.
Then I heard a continuous scream and explosion!
That violent, sharp sound.
Nearly three thousand densely packed black hidden snakes shot out from Jiang Wang's soul, overwhelming the sky and the earth. The sound was violent, like a sharp arrow being emptied, like a strong wind, like a sudden rain, and it instantly covered the black-eyed star python.
The huge black-eyed star python was overturned by the swarm of hidden soul snakes as soon as it came face to face, knocked away, and fell to the ground. The dense dense soul hidden snakes crawled all over the body of the black-eyed star python, burying every muffled sound among them.
During this stretch of the journey, Jiang Wang had been confused, flustered, and hesitant...
It was already prepared!
