Vol 5 Chapter 5: Lord of Zijin (one more)

Thirteen years ago, King Rong An and the princess died in battle. It was Nan Qi's loss and the whole country mourned.
Although it was known that someone was plotting behind the scenes to harm the country, but I did not expect that the bigger reason was because of this edict.
Su Fengnuan sighed and sighed. The emperor first passed on the position of King Rong'an, and King Rong'an did not receive the edict. Now the emperor has parents and children, but he passed the throne to Ye Chang. It is very emotional. They are all for the South Qi Jiangshan. Presumably, in addition to being unable to bear the turmoil of the Chao Gang, part of the reason why the king Rong An of the year was because he felt that the current emperor was gentle and kind!
In their view, that position is occupied by the virtuous.
Ye Chang asked Zheng Yun, "You packed the clothes of the first postmaster, but what suspicious things did you find?"
Zheng Yun shook his head, "Return to Ye Shizi, no more." The words fell, and he said, "However, before I came, I saw that his room and study seemed to have been searched. I was thinking that everyone at the Hejian Station was killed. It should be the third son and the government for investigating the case. Now that there is this secret, someone may have searched it to find something."
Ye Chang nodded and said to him, "This matter is only known to the three of us, and we are not allowed to spread it out."
Zheng Yun nodded solemnly, "For such a big thing, I don't dare to spread it out by borrowing my ten heads. I must be tight-lipped. The son and the young lady don't worry."
Ye Chang nodded and asked him, "Have you been to Qiufeng Mountain?"
Zheng Yun said, "I've been there, a piece of scorched earth, nothing was found."
Ye Chang turned to Su Fengnuan and asked, "Are you going to see Qiufeng Mountain?"
Su Fengnuan glanced at the sky and said, "It's still early, go and see."
Ye Chang nodded.
The two sent Zheng Yun and asked Ye Xi, Qianhan, and He Zhi to take the people to guard their footing, and rode to Qiufeng Mountain.
Qiufeng Mountain is indeed a piece of scorched earth, with broken tiles everywhere, all black. Several heavy snowfalls in the winter did not clean up the blood stains at the broken tiles.
Su Fengnuan and Ye Chang walked and turned around Qiufeng Mountain.
Seeing that Su Fengnuan had gone to Qiufeng Mountain and looked at the blood everywhere, Ye Chang frowned and asked her, "What's wrong? What can I find?"
Su Fengnuan reached out and touched the blood on the wall, and said to him, "My third brother's martial arts is not low, and the martial arts you sent to him are not low. However, my third brother was seriously injured by poisoning and nearly lost his life. All the guards you sent to him were damaged in Qiufeng Mountain. Everyone in Qiufeng Mountain was bloodbathed."
"So?" Ye Chang looked at her, "What did you think of? Or did you find something?"
"These bloodstains..." Su Fengnuan said, suddenly pulling out the Hidden Blade, and slamming the mud on the ground. After the heavy snow, the mud that melted the snow was scratched by her sword and threw it against the wall, like falling. A little bit of plum.
She received the sword and said to Ye Chang, "Look, the soil that my sword stained on the wall is blooming. How is it different from the blood stains on this wall?"
Ye Chang narrowed his eyes and said, "It's no different."
Su Fengnuan said, "Yes, the sword is on the ground, and the sword is on the human body. There is no difference between mud and blood." When the words fell, she said calmly, "I used Wangdishan's nine deadly styles. ."
Ye Chang was already very clever, and when Su Fengnuan just used his sword to pick up the mud and stain the wall, he knew it. He also chilled his eyes, "So, the people who bloodbath Qiufengshan use Wangdishan's unique knowledge?"
Su Fengnuan nodded, "Otherwise, my third brother, your palace guard, wouldn't be an opponent. Even if a large number of people in black clothes, they wouldn't have reached that terrible misfortune that day."
Ye Chang said, "Wangdi Mountain...isn't Qiufengshan the handwriting of the great prince again?"
Su Fengnuan said, "I'm thinking, who is the master of the eldest prince? He is better than Lin Ke's martial arts, it is impossible to learn from Lin Ke."
Ye Chang said, "In the old days, the prince lived in the East Palace. Because of his weak body, he fell ill every three to five, and Yuegui concubine loves his son. Therefore, it is rare to see him once a month. Presumably during those days when he was pretending to be sick, he was learning martial arts. Because your master took you and your cousin on a tour, it was impossible to live in the capital to teach the prince. The concubine Yue Guishan inherited from the Guishan School, and she only knew a little about Wangdishan martial arts. It is impossible to teach his Wangdishan martial arts. It is so powerful, there must be people in Wangdi Mountain who live in the capital all year round."
Su Fengnuan said, "However, as far as I know, everyone in Wangdi Mountain is not happy with the capital and is unwilling to come to Beijing. There are three masters, four uncles and a group of brothers. Years ago, Senior Brother Seven and Senior Brother Eleven would not come to Beijing to protect me if it were not for my severe injuries and weakness."
Ye Chang said, "Master Zhan Yi survived in Wangdi Mountain. Although it has been dead for many years, Wangdi Mountain may have hidden many secrets. Even if you, the descendant, don’t know the secrets. After we go to Wangdi Mountain, maybe Can untie one or two."
Su Fengnuan nodded.
The two did not stay again, and went down Qiufeng Mountain, back to the place of resting place.
There was no words for a night, and he was very stable. On the second day, it was very clear.
In the carriage, Su Fengnuan didn't sleep well last night, so she didn't embroider the wedding dress today, but lay lazily on the carriage to make up for sleep.
Ye Chang whispered in her ear, "I didn't tired you yesterday, why are you so tired?"
Su Fengnuan grinned at her and said in a low voice, "You are not tired of me, but I also feel tired in my heart. I always feel that Wangdi Mountain is a place away from the world, but I didn't expect it, but not at all. ."
Ye Chang touched her head, "Thinking so much is useless, you just need to know that in this world, there has never been a real pure land. Where there are people, there are disputes. Even if you live in the mountains, you still have beasts. How can it be truly quiet?"
Su Fengnuan nodded, "It makes sense."
Ye Chang said, "Whether it is Wangdi Mountain, Lingyun Temple, or even Lushan Academy, where there are many talented students, there are always disputes."
Su Fengnuan suddenly said, "Yes, Lushan Academy. It reminds me of the real person Yunshan. I always feel that he is a person who lives in the world and transcends the world, just like the master. You say he will Don’t know something?"
Ye Chang thoughtfully said, "He judged everyone in "The Legend of Hong Yan", and rated them as three points. Things he doesn't know about the world, I am afraid it is rare." After the words fell, I suddenly remembered something, yes. She said, "Now you should tell me? What are the two sentences that you erased?"
Su Fengnuan smiled and said, "Are you so curious?"
Ye Chang said, "Naturally, otherwise I won't ask you again and again."
Su Fengnuan smiled and said in a low voice, "Since you are so curious, I will tell you today."
Ye Chang said, "Respectfully listen."
Su Fengnuan leaned close to his ear and whispered in a low voice, "Reading poetry and books in vain is a loss of talent, and being romantic in the beautiful piles, the capacity can be poured into the country and the world will be the world.
Ye Chang was startled.
Su Fengnuan looked at him, stretched out his hand and gently stroked his eyebrows, "Look, these last two sentences, should I erase them for you?"
Ye Chang was silent for a moment, and said, "Erase it well."
Su Fengnuan said, "An old Taoist priest in Yunshan knows fortune-telling. I used to think that maybe he had calculated something from your fate. Now it seems that he may have known something a long time ago. Words."
Ye Chang said, "It's hard to tell."
Su Fengnuan nodded, "Yes, it's hard to tell."
Ye Chang looked at her, "Then what about you? What did he say about you in "The Legend of Hong Yan" was torn away by your anger."
Su Feng Nuan said, "He said mine is really bad."
"Let me listen." Ye Chang smiled at her.
Su Fengnuan shook his head, "Don't tell me."
Ye Chang stared at him, "How long are you going to hide from me?"
Su Fengnuan smiled and blinked, thought for a while, gently approached him, pecked him with his lips, and smiled and whispered, "How about the wedding night?"
Ye Chang softened his heart and nodded happily, "Okay."
The carriage moved forward slowly, and the two of you were talking in the carriage, and the words were very low and light. The spring breeze outside was very strong, and the horses' hoofs moved forward neatly, and the wheels of the carriage were pressing on the ground. Naturally, no one can hear the two talking.
After two more days, I arrived at Peicheng on this day, where General Su was intercepted on his way back to Beijing. It is also the place where Sun Zeyu came to investigate the case and has not heard back.
The team came to Peicheng. The officials of Peicheng had already received the news that Ye Chang and Su Fengnuan had left Beijing, and came to the city gate to greet them.
Ye Chang picked up the curtain of the car and took a look. He didn't see Sun Zeyu, but the officials in Peicheng. He asked quietly, "Where is the grandson of the prime minister's house? Is it okay?"
Everyone heard that he asked Sun Zeyu and looked at each other. The city guards in Peicheng hesitated and replied in a low voice, "Hui Ye Shizi, since he came to Peicheng, Sun Gongzi has contracted an illness. It is unspeakable and he is still recovering."
"Huh?" Ye Chang raised his eyebrows, "What disease?"
The city guard in Peicheng coughed, "It's an unspeakable disease. If you and Miss Su were resting in the city today, after visiting Son-in-law, they would understand. Going to the government...it is inconvenient to say it."
