The son is responsible

"Young master, for some reason, these people in Yanli City suddenly put down their staff and gathered here, saying that they are looking for treasure." Return at the door.

Xue Mu was very surprised, and Lu Zhao was also suspicious.

treasure?What treasure?Could it be the tomb of the first king?

There are not many people in Yongdu who know about this matter. The prince of Xiliang knew about it because the first king and queen were from Xiliang, and it was recorded in their own country's ancient books. Luo Sui knew it was purely by chance .

How did the people of Yanli City know?

Xue Muji and Lu Zhao faced each other, there were many traps in the wall, if they found a joint to get in, there would be nine out of ten deaths, Lu Zhao hurriedly said, "Stop them, we must not let them in."

"Young master, we can't stop it. We only came with three people. There are too many people surrounding us. Everyone in the whole city rushed over."

"Where's the golden armor guard?" Xue Muji asked, now, the only thing that can stop these common people who come for the treasure is the army.

Three years after he left Pingjiang, the people in the Pingjiang valley have changed so much.Pingjiang is so rich, the people have enough food and clothing, and have nothing to do with the world. How could they even put down production and farming and gather in a ruined temple for an unwarranted treasure.

"Outside the city, it's already too late." Lu Zhao quickly entered the temple, saw the raised part of the mechanism, raised the Panyun sword, and wanted to destroy the mechanism.

However, the stone protruding from the mechanism was very hard, and Pan Yunjian cut it several times without even a crack.

The people have rushed in.

The few people who stopped at the door, even if they were good at martial arts, faced with hundreds of thousands of unarmed civilians crowded in the alley, they couldn't kill them, and they had no choice but to let them squeeze in.

Xue Muji was rushed to a very edge by the crowd, and managed to hug a tree, barely avoiding falling.My brother's yelling was of no avail, because no one could hear it. What was amazing was that the common people knew where the mechanism was, and stepped on it. The wall opened, and people crowded in.

People want to die, and no one can stop them, Xue Muji climbed up the tree, found a branch and sat down, watching people keep entering the temple gate, thinking of the rain and acid everywhere, the arrow feathers criss-crossing, and soon the corpses would be thrown inside It's all over the place.Who is it, who is spreading rumors?He turned his head to look at Mo Ziyu, who was sitting on another branch of a tree with Mo Zikang on his shoulders, watching the excitement.

"It has nothing to do with me." Mo Ziyu spread his shoulders, "However, don't worry, they will be fine."

"It's all right?" Seeing Mo Ziyu's expression, Xue Muji seemed very sure.

"The traps inside have no effect. When I came out just now, I stopped the traps. When they go in, they will go straight to the bronze coffin underground without any hindrance. The traps are all from Xiliang, so it's easy to stop."

"What!!!" Xue Muji wanted to strangle the prince of Xiliang to death, "Why did you stop!"

"Just now, you didn't want me to disturb your ancestors, so I did as you wished. But I am very disgusted with the bronze coffin, and I want to send someone down to find out after returning to China. Stop the mechanism, my Next time people go in, they don't have to bother. How would I know, so many things will happen!" Mo Ziyu didn't understand why Xue Muji's sudden pale face, if he hadn't stopped the mechanism, these inexplicable rushes in The people are going to die, and this one doesn't even thank him?

Xue Muji quickly jumped down from the tree, followed the flow of people, and squeezed towards Lu Zhao's direction. He didn't need to walk by himself at all, because the people behind him pushed him, and he would soon be swarmed into the wall.

"Brother, stop them! Never let them in, never let them touch the bronze coffin." Xue Muji shouted loudly when he was closest to Lu Zhao.

Lu Zhao didn't hear the screams from inside, so he could more or less notice what happened inside the wall from his position.Although the strange organ didn't work, it was somewhat guessed that it was Mo Ziyu's trick.

After all, there was no fear of his life, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he heard Xue Muji's voice from the noisy crowd.

Xue Muji was about to be squeezed into the wall, when suddenly a pair of powerful hands grabbed him by the collar and pulled him out of the crowd.

He leaned in his brother's arms, the two of them were in the corner, Lu Zhao used his body to open up a small space for him, but it was by no means the time to ask for ambiguous gestures, although he didn't know, the mastermind behind the manipulative people to snatch the treasure Who is it, but his Pingjiang is about to face a catastrophe.

"It's fine inside, Mo Ziyu seems to have tampered with the mechanism." Lu Zhao still wanted to comfort him.

"Brother, hurry up, let your golden armor guards stop the people from entering, if there is one less, it is one."

Lu Zhao said, "Jin Jiawei will be here soon. I just ordered Thirteen and Fourteen to intercept people at the entrance of the alley in two ways. If not, they will be knocked unconscious. When General Gongsun arrives, control the situation before going in to rescue people. "

"No...no one can go in." Xue Muji put a hand on his brother's shoulder.

There seemed to be fewer crowded people, and there were sporadic escapes, who ran in cursing.Lu Zhao didn't bother to stop them, these people were all dazzled by desire.

Today's Pingjiang is different from when he left. From the inside of the prince of Pingjiang, he changed the core and issued a lot of bad terms, squeezing business travelers. The business in the Pingjiang River Basin is getting more and more depressed. There are also bandits, haunting Pingjiang.

If Xue Muji in front of him knows, he still doesn't know how to be angry.

Xue Muji slightly exerted his hand, "Brother, I have something to tell you, you must promise me that you will not tell anyone, including the emperor, including the Prince Regent."

Lu Zhao frowned slightly, but nodded without hesitation.

"Crown Prince Jiayu was the culprit of the plague back then. This matter is not a rumor, but the truth." Xue Muji whispered in his brother's ear, as if he was telling a very distant story. When I was playing hide-and-seek with my sister, I hid in the cabinet of my father-in-law's study and overheard what Princess Qi'an was talking to his father.

He had never told this secret to anyone, including Shen Chu, who was so close to him in his previous life that he wore a pair of pants.

"Brother, do you believe me?" Xue Muji's eyes twinkled. He knew the answer, but he still wanted to confirm it.

Lu Zhao said softly, "I believe it."

"The source of the plague is the coffin of the ancestor emperor of Dajing. The ancestor emperor died mysteriously and did not enter the imperial tomb because he died of the plague. He was afraid that other people would be infected and the epidemic would spread on the way to transport the corpse. He Order someone to build a bronze coffin and bury it on the spot."

He went on to say, "But the ancestor emperor loved his queen deeply, the princess Xiliang. He was a selfish person, and he wanted the woman he loved to stay with him forever and go to hell with him. He couldn't go to the imperial mausoleum. In the joint burial, it was claimed that the queen left behind treasures, which were then heavily protected by the Xiliang organ. Only the empress who was proficient in Xiliang organ skills could enter. But he did not expect that the empress loved him so much that she committed suicide by slaying herself. "

Xue Muji didn't know where this place was before, and it was because of a mistake that he entered the underground of the institution. Mo Ziyu's and Lu Zhao's judgments, plus the eavesdropping words before, were connected together, and they came to this place.He was really afraid. When he first saw the bronze coffin, he wanted to open it to see who the owner was. If his brother hadn't stopped it in time, he would have killed everyone who entered.

Xue Mu's slender eyelashes drooped down, and he half-closed his eyes, "Brother, you said earlier that there was a missing corner in the bronze coffin. You also said that Crown Prince Jiayu and the third uncle had entered the underground of the institution and didn't want to disturb the ancestors." , so the coffin was not opened."

Xue Muji felt the trembling of his brother's hand supporting the wall.

Speaking of this, my brother has already guessed.

The source of the plague back then was the corpses of the ancestors of Dajing who died of the plague but were not disposed of.Crown Prince Jiayu was interested in treasures, and with his third uncle and others, they found the treasure according to the records of the ancestors, and found that it was the grave of the ancestors. He didn't want to disturb the ancestors, so he left silently and destroyed all the treasures related to the ancestors. records.

However, someone didn't know who knocked off a small corner of the bronze coffin.

The dust from the small corner stuck to the man's weapon or clothes.They didn't know that when they came out of the tomb of their ancestors at the bottom of the temple, they brought out the disease pathogen infected by the ancestor emperor.

Calculating the time, it happened that Crown Prince Jiayu traveled southward in disguise, and soon afterward, the plague broke out.

Why they were not infected with the plague, Xue Muji didn't know.Perhaps it was because Crown Prince Jiayu had lived in the deep palace for a long time, and there were many dangers. He took too many anti-drugs, and he had already taken preventive medicines without knowing it. It is more or less resistant.

Crown Prince Jiayu was seriously injured by rumors back then, so he sent his subordinates to investigate, but in the end, what Donggong argued for was that he had never colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country, but did not give any explanation for the plague.

The verified truth was firmly blocked.

What kind of mood did Prince Jiayu, who cared about the people of the world, hear Princess Qi'an tell him the truth about the plague rumors, and how did he make up his mind to drink the poisoned wine given by his grandmother to atone for his sins.

"Brother...we...there is only one way." Xue Muji's hand deepened again, and there was no one else in the temple except the two of them.He had already heard the sound of military orders outside the gate of the courtyard.Jin Jiawei has successfully controlled the situation.

He met Lu Zhao's clear eyes.

"They must not come out. They must not be allowed to come out with the real plague. The lives of dozens of people, compared with the lives of millions of people in Pingjiang and even Dajing Kingdom, which side is more important?" Xue Muji knew this. It was a difficult decision, and he didn't want to force his brother to make such a deceitful decision, but if these people walked out of here with the pathogen, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Blow up here, brother, order your Golden Armored Guards to blow up here, before it's too late. They died because they couldn't control their desires, they deserve it, and they deserve it." Xue Muji shook his brother's shoulders, "You said, no matter what I do Whatever decision you make, you will be on my side."

Lu Zhao seemed to be talking to himself, "Is the life of a dozen people not life? What if they don't open the coffin..."

"We can't afford to gamble." Xue Muji smiled wryly, "Brother, you know who I am, if you recognize me as the young master of Pingjiang, just listen to me. The plague spreads, and the Pingjiang River Basin will fall into hell. Sacrifice a few, save The majority is the wisest choice. Didn’t the Crown Prince Jiayu choose this way? Let the people who test the medicine die and let the people live? Don’t ask why you choose this way, there are many things without a reason.”

The wait is long.

Lu Zhao listened to his subordinates outside the door and reported the situation outside, and it was indeed under control.

"Seal the wall door and blow up here." Lu Zhao's face was expressionless, but it was an order that was completely non-negotiable.

"Master Lu..." Several people naturally did not understand, especially the few people sent by Emperor Jialin to assist Lu Zhao with his affairs.

It is impossible for Lu Zhao to explain why to several people. He promised Xue Muji to bury the secret of Crown Prince Jiayu here forever.

Xue Muji held his brother's hand, "Thank you, brother."

Lu Zhao took two steps, then suddenly turned back, pressed Xue Muji's shoulder tightly, and kissed him deeply.

Xue Muji responded for a while, and it was Lu Zhao who broke away first.

"Xue Muji, I always have to find a reason to convince myself to kill. In my heart, the minority is as important as the majority. But your life is more important than theirs. You are outside, so I will never, But it is absolutely not allowed, even if it is a plague, to hurt you."

Xue Muji was carried out of the temple by Lu Zhao in full view.

Although Lu Zhao's subordinates were no longer surprised, they all expressed extreme dissatisfaction with his beauty.

Mo Ziyu carried Mo Zikang on his shoulders and slipped away in the chaos, but he left behind a piece of silk with the seal of the king of Xiliang, on which all the crimes of Xiliang's accusation against Crown Prince Jiayu were written, and it was tied to the branch of a tree. superior.

There was a loud bang, the temple collapsed, and everything in the past was buried forever.

However, who told the people of Yanli City that there was a treasure underground in this temple, Lu Zhao tried it for several days but found nothing.Everyone's confession was very unified, "The man next to me told me."

The person next to him... no one could tell who it was.

"Brother, do you think the person next to him is from Luo Sui?" Xue Muji cheered up after being depressed for a few days.Dozens of people died, and the people of Yanli City hated Lu Zhao to death. They obviously had nothing to do with Lu Zhao, so why did those people insist on rushing in despite his brother's words!

"I don't know." Lu Zhao has already dealt with most of the affairs of Yanli City, Luo Sui's affairs and Xiliang Prince's handwriting.But when he blew up the temple, the movement was too big, and the Emperor Yongdu would always know about it. He was writing a memorial to plead guilty to the emperor.

Xue Muji walked around the table, grabbed the memorial and tore it up.

"..."

"I forced you to say the order, why did you only write about you and not me? Rewrite!"

Lu Zhao smiled slightly, and the haze of the past few days dissipated.

It seemed that back in his childhood, the domineering Prince Ping Jiang was dangling in front of his eyes.

"Before I go back to Yongdu, I want to find a prescription for Mo Ziyu. I promised him, and I don't want to break my promise. Whether the plague happens in Dajing or Xiliang, I don't want to see it." Lu Zhao Pushing the pen and ink aside, he said, "Maybe there is something left in Third Uncle's library."

On the contrary, Xue Muji breathed a sigh of relief. If his brother didn't go back, he could still pester him for a few more days, and he was not in a hurry to find a way to deal with Lu Yu.Also, he also wanted to go back to see the seriously ill Lord Hou, and the pig-headed son who had tossed Ping Jiang into such a situation.

"Then I'll look for it with you."

The dungeon of the Mo family brothers in Yanli City is over, the next stop...Pingjiang Hou Mansion...
