The three of them went to the study and backed away again, before Xue Wuyi continued talking. +++ Catino Novel Network

“I told the two earlier that Xue Chang, the first dungeon king, left the picture scroll and secret treasures, and explained to future generations. If he saw the person in the painting, he would give the picture scroll to him. Only after I returned to the west dungeon After many inquiries, I learned that the picture scroll I had was only half of the time. The old king Xiwei handed a key to the Queen Mother for safekeeping, and this key was mostly the key to open the secret baby library…”

Xiao Zhige’s eyes (color) sink slightly. The envoy of the West Dung who asked to see Emperor Anqing also mentioned that the Queen Mother has a key in her hand. They asked Anqing Emperor to send troops to help them (killing) on ​​the grounds that Xue Wuyi had a portrait in her hand. sha) Xue Wuyi got the picture scroll and found the secret treasure after the event was completed, and would like to donate the secret treasure to Daye. He wasn’t sure at the time whether the key statement was credible. But now it is confirmed by Xue Wuyi’s statement that most of what the envoy said was true.

The first dung king not only left a picture, but also a key that could open the treasure house. Later generations of the royal family were passed down from generation to generation, but when he was in the hands of the old king, because he was seriously ill, the youngest son was weak. He gave the picture scroll and the key to Xue Wuyi and the queen respectively. Perhaps even the story told to them is only half.

It is said that the old King Xiuyi believed in Xue Wuyi very much, and Xue Wuyi felt his kindness, and he had always devoted himself to Xiuyi. However, at this time the truth was revealed layer by layer, and the so-called faith was nothing more than disguise.

Even Xiao Zhige couldn’t help but sympathize with him.

“The key is in the hands of the Queen Mother, what do you want to do?” Xiao Zhige asked, twisting his fingers lightly.

Xue Wuyi coughed a few times, then said, “No, this key is in my hand now. I will also tell your majesty and the prince, there is only one request…”

-This is the purpose of his trip today.

“you said.”

Xue Wuyi’s face was flushed with some sickness, and he tried to suppress the itching in his throat: “When Your Majesty has not yet ascended the throne, I exchanged two emerald mines, and asked Your Majesty not to send troops to Xiduan within two years. Now, I still Only this one request…”

“With your majesty’s ability, ambition may not be limited to Daye. The situation in the west dungeon is chaotic, and now I am still there, and the fight has not been exposed. Once I die, the west dungeon will be in chaos. As far as Daye is concerned, It must be a good time to come in…” He couldn’t help but coughed a few times, and continued: “I only ask your Majesty to allow two years of grace. The people of the West Dung are already in a difficult time. If there is another war, I am afraid they will be powerless. support…”

His words were sincere, and his face was sickly, which was very moving. An Changqing couldn’t bear it, and said, “Prime Minister Xue first take a sip of tea and let it go slowly.”

Xue Wuyi shook his head, and said with a small smile: “I made you laugh. I am an old disease of Shen Wei, and it has always been like this.”

After that, he continued: “I know that this request looks a bit whimsical at the moment. But I assure your majesty that it will only take two years for the internal chaos in the west dung to be resolved, then your majesty will not have to spend a single soldier, and the west dung will surrender. Yu Daye.”

Xiao Zhige shook his head, and his words were even a little cold: “No one can tell the situation in the next two years. I will answer you today. I don’t know if there will be other variables in the future? Besides, Prime Minister Xue looks like I’m afraid. It’s been two years, right? If you die, I will not keep my promise. How do you know?”

Xue Wuyi smiled faintly: “Your Majesty’s promise, today is nothing more than a gamble for the dying. I have countless constraints in my life and ambitious, but I still want to do something for the people of the West. If I really die, How can I manage the flood behind me? It’s just to calm my heart.”

“Your Majesty’s concerns, I also understand. Surely your Majesty has also heard that in the West Dung, the West Dung has already risen and become the climate?”

Xiao Zhige nodded slightly, and said, “I heard that they are descendants of the Xixi tribe, very brave.” There is another thing he didn’t say, that is, the envoy said that Xue Wuyi has been letting these Xixi tribesmen. , Did not immediately send troops to quell the chaos.

At that time, Xue Chang rebelled against Daye and united with the nomadic tribe in the west of Daye. The leader of the west dung leads the Xi dung tribe to respect Xue Chang as the king, and in order to win over the west dung tribe, Xue Chang specially named the country as Xi dung. However, after so many years, Xue Chang has long since passed away. The great aristocrats represented by the descendants of Xue Chang have become more and more conflicted with the Xiu tribe due to their different appearances and pedigrees, as well as the division of rights. By now, the West Dung people have become the lowest untouchables, and the West Dung people can even be sold as livestock. The sons of common people and their intermarriage are also untouchables.

The West Dung people were oppressed in the West Dung. Now when the royal court is fighting for power, these long-suppressed West Dung tribes took advantage of the situation to rise up, and they grew very quickly, and they have become a big contempt in the West Dung. Power.

“The Xi dung people live on horseback. Even so many years have passed, they still do not reduce their bravery, but the oppression of these years has made them even more fierce.” Xue Wuyi did not see anger in his words, but meant to praise: ” I have thought about implementing the New Deal, changing the household registration of the Xiu tribe to good people, prohibiting population trading, so that the Xiu tribe can also join the army and go to official positions… If it is successful, the Xiu has such a brave army, perhaps it will not be where it is today. .

However, the Queen Mother and Wang joined other courtiers to veto this proposal…”

When Xue Wuyi mentioned the New Deal that ended without disease, his expression finally made some waves: “I wanted to turn the tide, but after all, it was a man who was a car. Now the Queen Mother already knows that I am seriously ill and live well within a few years, but they can’t wait for me. died…”

This time he came to Daye and gave the king, who had grown up since he was a child, the last chance. However, the other party obeyed his biological mother’s plan and did not hesitate to send him to Daye, and joined the other two envoys, wanting to be called He died in a foreign land. When Xue Wuyi heard the news, he didn’t feel any chill or anger, but rather relieved.

That’s good, the kindness he owed to the king was paid off. Next, he can do whatever he wants.

“I said this to your Majesty, not complaining. I just want to tell your Majesty that the Fu (Bai) of the Western Dungeon Royal has been corrupted and has shown signs of decline. They can’t stop the Western Dungeon people who are backlashing. This throne will eventually change. The new leader of the clan, the two have also seen him, it is the northern guard who followed me before, the commander of Shang Que.” His free gaze recondensed, and brightened again: “Shang Que does not want the Xideng tribe to be bullied and trampled again. But he does not want to cause war for his old enemies. He is a benevolent leader and will not fight against Da Ye for his own selfish desires. Once he rectifies the West Dung, he will take the initiative to surrender to Da Ye.”

-This is the strength of his negotiations today. Only need to wait for two years, Daye can conquer the western dung without a single soldier. No matter what Xiao Zhige planned at the beginning, he would definitely be moved by such conditions.

Xiao Zhige said: “I can promise you not to send troops as much as possible before the situation is clear, but if Shang Que fails to win the throne, or if he is unwilling to submit to Daye, I will still send troops to subdue Xiheng.”

Xiwei and Yuze were originally small countries separated from Daye. He expelled Bei Di when he was young, and now he is in his prime of life, and he must find a chance to subdue Xi Deng and Yu Ze. Since ancient times, no emperor has been willing to sit and watch the enemy sleeping on the side of his bed.

“That’s it.” Xue Wuyi nodded and took out an old bronze key from his sleeve (touching Mo): “This is the key.”

Although Xue Wuyi was scheming against the enemy, he was sincere enough for his partners. He handed the key to An Changqing, and said: “I have studied this painting many times, and other methods such as sprinkling water and roasting fire are also used. I tried it, but it didn’t work much. On the contrary, when I looked through the early records, I found that the first king of West Dung had sent a caravan out to sea on the grounds of seeking medicine from immortals. This caravan set out from Zaiguo. , Crossed the Yuze border and arrived in the South China Sea. The caravan brought a lot of goods when it set off. But there was no record of returning. So I infer that there is no mystery in this painting. This key is the key. And that The Western Dung Secret Treasure was probably not in the West Dung, but was transported to the South China Sea.”

“The news I found only ends here.” Xue Wuyi said.

When An Changqing heard of the South China Sea, his brows jumped, and suddenly he remembered the ancient books: Outside the South China Sea, there are the scorpion people living by the water, regardless of male or female, their looks are amazing (color). Those with red streaks are fertile. Good at weaving shark silk, shark silk is invulnerable, and is worth a thousand dollars.

Xue Chang sent a caravan to the South China Sea, and the Shark Clan records were related to the South China Sea. Is there any connection between the two?

An Changqing and Xiao Zhige exchanged glances and said, “Thank you, this information is already very useful to us.”

“If this is the case, I won’t bother me anymore and leave first.” Xue Wuyi got up and said goodbye to leave.

An Changqing admires and sympathizes with him. I just thought that someone like Xue Wuyi shouldn’t need others to pity him, so he didn’t show it, and said politely: “I’ll send Mr. Xue out.” From Prime Minister Xue changed his name to Mr. Xue, a bit less alienated and opposed. .

Xue Wuyi did not refuse, and took the maid to walk with them.

The distance from the study to the gate of the palace is neither long nor short. The two of them walked slowly along the corridor. Only then did Xue Wuyi have the time to look at the surrounding scenery, and exclaimed: “It is said that your Majesty has a great love for the prince, and you can see this in the palace. I heard that when His Majesty lived here, he never cared about these foreign objects.”

Changqing An pursed her lips and smiled, and then said, “Mr. Xue has seen a doctor for this disease? There is a doctor under your majesty who is good at intractable diseases. If Mr. Xue is willing, I can ask that doctor to treat you. There is still a way to cure it.”

Xue Wuyi looked back at him with a smile: “The prince is pure and kind, but he listened to me and he was willing to seek medical advice for me.”

An Changqing was a little embarrassed, but was afraid that it would be too abrupt: “I just think that there should be more people who think about the people like your husband.”

“I understand.” Xue Wuyi said warmly: “It’s just that I am not actually a disease, but a poison. Since the sixteenth year, I have been the prime minister. I was infected with this poison. I should have died long ago, but I just survived. , All these years rely on Ji Xue to try her best to hang on my behalf.”

An Changqing looked back at Ji Xue in surprise. Ji Xue has been following Xue Wuyi silently, her appearance is superior, but her expression is extremely cold. He originally thought it was a maidservant or concubine serving close to him, but he didn’t expect it to be a doctor.

Xue Wuyi smiled and said: “Jixue Zu was once a family of famous doctors. She has a good family heritage, and she has a superb medical skill. She can’t solve the poison, and I am afraid it will be useless. I can only thank the prince for his kindness.”

Seeing that he didn’t want to, An Changqing didn’t force him anymore, so she had to send him to the door and said: “Mr. Xue is not in a hurry to go back to the west. If there is nothing to do at the station, he can come to the palace at any time and let me. Do the friendship of the landlord.”

Xue Wuyi responded, and then slowly left with Ji Xue.

An Changqing watched from behind, only to realize that he was really thin and scary. He was obviously wrapped in a thick cloak, but he looked thinner than Ji Xue behind him. Like a weak green bamboo, only the posture is upright and unyielding.

An Changqing sighed slightly before turning back.

Xue Wuyi got into the carriage and couldn’t help but cough heavily. The handkerchief in her hand was stained with blood, Ji Xue replaced him with a (dry gan), and put the hand stove in his arms, her voice was a bit cold and said: “No matter how good my medical skills are, there are always gaps, you Why don’t you agree with King Yan to ask the doctor to diagnose and treat you?”

After carefully wiping (dry gan) the blood on his lips, Xue Wuyi drank a cup of warm tea to moisturize his throat before he said: “I only believe in your medical skills.”

Ji Xue didn’t believe his nonsense at all. If this person really tells a lie, no one can tell. She suddenly said, “You don’t want to live anymore, do you?”

Xue Wuyi was silent, and said, “These years (fuck cao) have worked, I should also rest.”

“You did so much to pave the way for Shang Que, right? You are dead, and Wang Ting will leave sooner or later. In this way, Shang Que will definitely win.” Ji Xue asked: “You don’t even want your life for him. ?”

“How do you know that I’m not calculating him?” Xue Wuyi squeezed his eyebrows and sighed: “You know, he didn’t want to get involved in the court fight. It was me (qiang) who forced him to sell his life for me. , I also calculated him to be the king. He is the descendant of the leader of the West Dung and is the most suitable person. He will be a very good king. What I did not do, he should be able to do it. In the future, the West Dung people do not have to suffer Bullying and trampling, you can also restore your real name and carry forward the Song family medical skills…”

Ji Xue curled her eyebrows and looked at him: “I can’t tell you the truth. But when you are dead, Shang Que may not be willing to be the king obediently.”

Xue Wuyi smiled, “So you have to help me, don’t let him know.”

The carriage moved forward slowly, the wheels pressed over the dead branches on the ground, making a creaking noise, Ji Xue inside the carriage was silent, neither of them spoke any more, only vaguely heard a low cough.

***

An Changqing returned to the main courtyard, and saw Xiao Zhige frowning and contemplating facing a map.

“Why did you turn this out all of a sudden?” The picture Xiao Zhige looked at was a map made by the previous dynasty. At that time, Xiwei and Yuze had not yet separated.

Xiao Zhige clicked on the location of Nanhai and said, “I’m thinking, why did Xue Chang and Huai Shu’an betray Daye together? Why didn’t Taizu send troops to counter the rebellion?” There is also Nanhai in the ancient books. , Is the Nanhai the same place that Xue Chang sent to? Why did Xue Chang send someone to transport the secret treasure to the South China Sea? What exactly are those secret treasures?

The most important thing is, who is the sacred person in the painting? Xue Chang was about fifty years old when he died, but judging from his last words and paintings, people think that the man will still appear…

Xue Wuyi’s words not only failed to solve the mystery, but the snow rolling group generally brought out more mysteries. It is very likely that the person in the painting is of the same race as An Changqing, but it seems that apart from the men’s fertility, it does not see anything that is different from ordinary people. So what did (fafa) give birth back then? The shark tribe disappeared? Even now, there are only a few words of record.

The person in the painting has a good demeanor and knows Xue Chang. In Xue Chang’s time, the heroes were surging together, it is impossible for such a (color) figure to leave a trace, but except for a painting passed down from generation to generation by the Xi Di royal family, there is no record of him. .

An Changqing said: “I thought of another question. Xiwei is not facing the sea. The caravan sent by Xue Chang has to pass through Yuze to reach the South China Sea. If the caravan was carrying a number of treasures, it would go through like this. When Yuze goes to the South China Sea, isn’t he afraid of being intercepted by Yuze? Unless Xue Chang is still in contact with Huai Shu’an, and Huai Shu’an also knows about his trip to the South China Sea. But does this mean that Huai Shu’an also draws together? Does the Chinese have a (guan) relationship?”

Xiao Zhige pondered slightly and agreed: “It is not impossible. If you are bolder to guess, the two men betrayed Daye in the first place, maybe it was also related to the people in the painting, or the people in the painting. After all, Xue Chang’s last words said “Xue” Chang’s debt is repaid”, obviously because of a debt to the person in the painting.”

It’s just that there are many entanglements in the middle, but there are many clues that cannot be inferred.

An Changqing discouraged and said: “If it is such a long time that cannot be found out, it is better to forget it. I don’t know what the secret treasures are, maybe there is no treasure.”

Xiao Zhige (touching Mo) (touching Mo) He tops his head, his voice is a little heavy: “The secret treasure does not need to be concerned, I only care about the horren. If you don’t check it out, you will not be at ease. Besides, it’s not just for you alone. , And An Heng and An Joo.”

Xiao Anheng and Xiao Anzhu did not have the red stripes on their bodies when they were born. According to the records they found, it means that they do not have the ability to give birth to a male (sexual xing) of the Xing race, and they should be no different from ordinary people. But there is no problem at the moment, and there is no guarantee that there will be no problems in the future. Xiao Zhige is not a person who likes to avoid questions. Now that he has clues, he wants to continue to investigate. Whether it is for An Changqing, or for the two children and their offspring, he has to investigate.

After thinking about it, Changqing An felt that he made sense. If this matter is not ascertained as a hidden danger, he said: “Then look for opportunities and send someone to the South China Sea to explore.”
