Just overnight, the atmosphere on both sides of the Liuhe River completely changed.
Tens of thousands of elite Qianshan Lake naval forces suddenly came ashore and transformed into forbidden troops, enforcing martial law and curfews throughout Xiangcheng. The two sides of the Liuhe River that were used to singing and singing every night turned into a forest of swords in the blink of an eye, which was frightening.
In addition to many ministers and officials with sensitive identities who are under house arrest and surveillance, all personnel are not allowed to enter or leave the Xiangcheng area at will. All the pavilions on both sides of the Liuhe River are temporarily closed, and all businesses on the street are temporarily closed
And Jiang Yingqi, the leader of the Xiao Kingdom, who had not been in court for a long time, finally appeared in the court. It is said that he not only dismissed several ministers directly, but also put the prince under house arrest.
Full of doubts, I stayed in Rumengfang, puzzled by this sudden situation. Apart from drinking and chatting with the people around me every day, I actually had nothing to do. There were several times. Mo Wuyi couldn't sit still and wanted to sneak out and sneak into the palace to check the situation, but because the timing was too sensitive, I stopped him desperately.
After a few days of this, an unexpected but reasonable thing finally happened
The fourth prince is dead! He was too poisoned and died!
This prince who wanted to invite me and Mo Wuyi to a banquet was poisoned and died in our absence!
When I saw this news in the letter sent by Sang Xiaoyun, I thought I was lucky - if I hadn't happened to go to have a "showdown" with Jiang Yu that day, I didn't know that this matter would have called me. What a trouble!
Because according to the news in the past few days, in addition to many officials being implicated, all the martial arts people who went to attend the banquet that day were also under house arrest by the imperial army. Only two people, Mo Wuyi and me, were absent. Banquet, but the person with "serious suspicion" is still safe.
Of course, I know very well that the reason why I am safe and sound at this moment must be because Jiang Yu is operating secretly, and without any doubt, I know clearly that my identity as the "Nan Le Hidden Stake" must have been known to Jiang Yingqi, the leader of the Xiao Kingdom. Yes, but I can't guess what countermeasures he will take when the fourth prince dies unexpectedly.
But although I was secretly glad to have escaped a disaster, I felt even more uneasy.
Poisoning at a banquet is definitely not a stupid thing that the prince Jiang Hao would do. Generally, when a prince wants to eliminate dissidents when he wants to win the heir, the most common method is to dismantle the other party and discredit the other party's character to death. Let the other party lose the trust of the country's leader and lose the opportunity to compete; the second is to directly provoke a mutiny at a critical moment to eradicate the roots - but before the matter could be broken, a collective poisoning incident suddenly occurred. It goes against common sense!
So obviously, someone is deliberately stirring up trouble and trying to trick people. But the question is, who is the person behind this and who does he want to trick?
The prince's mansion was heavily guarded, and a large number of Jianghu people were poisoned. Without premeditation and careful arrangements, it would have been impossible to easily succeed. Moreover, after the incident, the imperial army led by Jiang Yu took control of the 'most implicated' people. Juxian Tower, but the owner Heng Wuxin is said to be seriously poisoned and dying
The fourth prince is dead, the prince is under house arrest, and the second prince and Heng Wuxin are both in "intensive care." Once this farce breaks out, there seems to be no winner!
So, I am confused
But in the chaos, I felt like I could vaguely see someone, looking at me with a smile in some unknown space, to see how I dealt with the incredible chaos!
??Has my identity been exposed a long time ago? Or is Daduan in Xiaoguo, and has a deeper and larger layout?
Two ominous thoughts suddenly arose in my mind one after the other
With unknown thoughts coming together, I didn¡¯t dare to slack off at all, so I immediately wrote two urgent letters and asked Zhuoge to use Ghost Owl to send them back to Nanle.
One of them was written to Eunuch Hou. In addition to asking whether the double who was under house arrest in the Nanle Palace had leaked his identity, he was also asked to take all measures to find out where King Daduanwei's 400,000 elite soldiers were at Helong Pass. As long as it is different from the past, whether it is the procurement of grain and fodder or the deployment of soldiers, please make sure he knows about it and informs me - I don't have a 'secret organization' to use, it really makes me miserable. !
The other letter was written to Marquis Kunlan. I asked him to send someone to spread a rumor in Shuangziguan, a place where business travelers come and go most frequently. The content was the nonsense Jiang Yu and I told: "Although Daduan is at war with Beimu, , but still want to take advantage of Xiaoguo¡¯s slack time to launch a big sneak attack, with the purpose of capturing several important border towns of Xiaoguo, and then slowly encroaching on Xiaoguo, which is suffering from internal problems.¡± The purpose of spreading this rumor is to cooperate with Eunuch Hou. An investigation was carried out to 'snatch the enemy'.
? ?As soon as the letter is sent, I always feel a little calmer.
No matter whether this incident has anything to do with Daduan or not, as long as we can understand King Wei's movements, Daduan's next move should be easy to judge
After thinking about it for a while, I wrote another letter to Sang Xiaoyun, hoping that she could help me ask Jiang Yu to make arrangements for me to meet the owner of Juxian Building, Heng Wuxin, who was being detained as a "suspect" at the moment. !
The reason why I did this is that it felt bad to be 'trapped' in Rumengfang!
Although I know that any big action at this sensitive moment will cause a lot of trouble, but the method of stopping with silence is really not in line with my personality, because to put it ugly, in some cases, using silence There is actually no difference between braking and being beaten passively.
Speaking of which, I am not surprised that Heng Wuxin was among the poisoned this time. What surprised me was the news that Sang Xiaoyun said that he was also dying - this really surprised me!
So even though I knew the timing was sensitive at this moment, I still couldn¡¯t help but want to see with my own eyes if there were any clues to prove that I was right about his identity.
The day after the request was issued, Jiang Yu sent someone to pick me up and secretly pick up Mo Wuyi.
??The Jianghu people who were poisoned in the Prince's Mansion are now basically in the Qianshanhu navy camp. Although it is called treatment, anyone can clearly see the meaning of house arrest and investigation.
I don¡¯t know what Jiang Yu was thinking. After we arrived at the place where Heng Wuxin was placed, he himself did not show up. Instead, he sent someone to take me to a pavilion and stopped interfering.
Although he was under house arrest, Heng Wuxin was treated well. Not only did he occupy a pavilion alone, but he also had many family servants busy with him. As soon as he saw me, the "friend" sent by the sergeant, he came face to face. He welcomed me in with a smile
Just like what Sang Xiaoyun said, Heng Wuxin was lying on the bed at the moment, his face was purple and swollen, and he was unconscious and unable to speak. He looked like he was about to die due to poisonous gas. He was the same person I saw in Juxian Tower that day. There's a world of difference in the high-spiritedness of arriving.
I am not good at things like poisoning, but after sitting on the bed and observing for a while pretending to be sad, I concluded that Heng Wuxin was not acting, but that he was really dying
So after leaving a few words of comfort with a sad expression, I left the military camp with full of doubts. At the same time, I finally understood why Jiang Yu let me go to see Heng Wuxin alone - he was probably hinting to me that I told him before His information doesn't seem to be that accurate!
He was giving me a chance and waiting for my explanation.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If Heng Wuxin is really dead, and I "falsely accused" him of being a back-stabber, then I would really be a slap in the face to myself
"Alas! Wuyi, I really can't understand this matter." As soon as I returned to Rumengfang, I frowned and sighed.
"If you hadn't taken me with you today, you probably wouldn't have been able to figure it out in your life." Seeing my dejected look, Mo Wuyi answered with a smile while pouring himself tea.
As soon as I heard what he said, I couldn't help but feel happy.
This guy was silent all the way. Could it be that he discovered something strange?
"Brother Mo! Do you think that Heng Wuxin is pretending to be dying?" I stared at him with bright eyes and asked quickly.
"Haha, that's not true. If I read it correctly, he will definitely die within three days." Mo Wuyi smiled slightly, with a strange expression.
"Huh? Then yourecognize the poison?" I couldn't help but be a little disappointed when I heard him say that if you don't have any intention, you will die. But I still don't want to give up.
"No! The poison should be a mixture of many highly toxic things. Even if I recognize it, I can't understand it, let alone who it is." Mo Wuyi smiled strangely while continuing to hit me.
"Then you're still smiling so happily! How come you still want to make fun of me?" Although I already guessed that he must have something to say, I still pretended to be unhappy.
This guy just likes to show off, and if you don¡¯t give him something to gain, you don¡¯t even know how long he will keep pretending. Of course, seeing me, a "smart guy", unhappy is his most happy gain these days.
"Hehe, Brother Tian, ??you are not a martial artist, so naturally you won't pay attention! And if you don't see Heng Wuxin in person, you won't be able to see through it." Seeing the unhappy look on my face, Mo Wuyi smiled wretchedly, and suddenly He said in a low voice.
"What are you paying attention to?" I quickly pretended to be anxious and continued to ask.
"That personisn't Heng Wuxin!" Mo Wuyi looked at him with gleaming eyes and suddenly said something shocking!
 "What? That person is not Heng Wuxin, who is that?" I was shocked.
¡°I don¡¯t know who it is, but I¡¯m sure that person is definitely not Heng Wuxin!¡±
"how do you know?"
"Brother Tian, ??do you still remember that night at Juxian Tower, when Heng Wuxin blocked my sword with a long knife?"
"of course I remember!"
"Then do you remember which hand he used to hold the knife?"
"Firstthe right hand! The second time, it's both hands!"
"That's right! The sword Heng Wuxin used was five feet long and had a long handle, so he must have used both hands under normal circumstances. And judging from the way he took my sword that night, his strength on the long sword was clear. The soaking time must be no less than twenty years! But just now" Mo Wuyi was halfway through his words when he suddenly started to pretend again.
"What did you just say?" Seeing him being embarrassed, I cursed in my mind and had to cooperate with him to pretend to be excited.
"Just now I stepped forward to feel his pulse, only to find that the tendons in his hands were obviously thicker on the right and thinner on the left, completely inconsistent with his long-term use of long swords! Although this person is basically similar to Heng Wuxin in physical appearance, But due to the poisonous hair, his face was bruised and his whole body was swollen, so he had the best cover up!" Mo Wuyi touched his chin and finally made the point.
After listening to his words, I remembered that I was beside Heng Wuxin's hospital bed just now. After seeing the half-dead Heng Wuxin there, this guy once stepped forward and touched him twice - at that time, I thought he knew medical skills. I went to check his pulse or something, but it turned out that he had no good intentions!
"How did Brother Mo think of touching his veins?" I was overjoyed, and I immediately asked excitedly, wanting to know what other loopholes he had discovered.
"I'm going to take my pulse." Mo Wuyi smiled and answered casually.
Grass!
It turns out that I was overthinking it, and this guy was actually a blind cat who met a dead mouse
"Hahaha! That's it! God help me! No, it's Brother Mo who is indeed my lucky star. Thank you! Thank you!" Ignoring the slander, I stood up in excitement and saluted Mo Wuyi with a big smile.
"Thank you, no need! Just drink a few bowls with me later. I see you looking sad every day. Wu Yi can't even find anyone to drink with. It's really uncomfortable." Seeing my excitement, he He teased with a smile.
"Okay, okay! It's all Tian Qi's fault. I want Brother Mo to drink to his heart's content at one o'clock tonight!"
"That's not bad."
After receiving a huge piece of good news from Mo Wuyi, all the pressure on me suddenly disappeared.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Unexpectedly, this guy who just announced that he would play a game with me in China) gave me such a big gift, which really makes me excited).
If he hadn¡¯t fallen in love with me a few days ago, and if Tie Muyun hadn¡¯t been driven to ¡°accompany his wife¡± by me, he wouldn¡¯t have gone with me to the Qianshan Lake Navy Camp to see the poisoned ¡°Heng Wuxin¡±!
If he hadn¡¯t been so ¡°active¡±, he wouldn¡¯t have discovered that the person¡¯s identity was fake!
All of this is indeed God¡¯s will!
It turns out that Heng Wuxin was actually playing a trick to escape the golden cicada!
After confirming the truth of the matter, the mess that had just caused me so much headache suddenly had a clear answer, and it also gave me a reminder - Han Qu must have noticed something, so Heng Wuxin suddenly left Xiaoguo. Get away! After learning the lesson from King Bei Muying You, he seemed to have become more cautious.
But what will he do next?
He will never give up the fat piece of Xiaoguo. The key lies in what he wants to do - do he want to hide his strength and bide his time, stabilize the situation in Beimu first, and then plot against Xiaoguo? Or maybe he wanted to start in another place that was completely unexpected, so as not to make the same mistake as Bei Mu?
Standing by the window sill upstairs in Rumengfang, I gazed at the vast expanse of emerald lake, and couldn't help but look forward to the coming time. But what I didn't expect was that a "crisis" that made people laugh or cry was quietly unfolding at this moment. Coming towards me
