Tread thousands of dust

"Ling Yueyan died too early, leaving only one child to be raised by Fang Zhu."

Mo Fengyi obviously couldn't believe it. He curled his fingers together and grabbed the corner of his clothes tightly, saying, "Her child...is the child born to Sect Tianhui! It was Fang Zhu who raised the child in the end. As an adult, tell him not to practice martial arts!"

Jiao Yanhong's expression was still calm and said: "Zongshi Tianhui has come to live in Buddhist temples for a long time. He must be tired because of the complicated karma. "Strategy of Cutting the Marrow" was not originally written by Ling Yueyan alone, but by their husband and wife. At the same time, this part is Ling Yueyan's self-report, and the other part is Fang Zhu's research on Gu art."

"So this part is the first volume, and the Tianhui Zongshi exhausted all his life's knowledge to write the second volume... No wonder he knows how to exorcise and dispel Gu." Mo Fengyi twitched the corners of his mouth, "I, Feng Bailei The saying of the night of the moon also came from him."

Jiao Yanhong suddenly laughed and said, "Do you know why?"

"The disciple is dull, please tell the master."

Jiao Yanhong sighed: "Bu Feng also has a lot of research on Gu poison. According to his investigation, the day Fang Zhu was born was also the night of Fengbai Leiyue."

Mo Fengyi's eyes trembled, his whole body unconsciously relaxed, but his fingers were still curled up nervously in a strange posture: "Fang Zhu is not a dragon ghost"

"Actually, there is no difference. The dragon ghost is Fang Zhu's sword, and it is also his murderous nature." Jiao Yanhong sighed softly. I can only blame my own background, always thinking that Feng Bai Leiyue harmed him."

"What? Bewitched by Tianhui Zongshi?" Mo Fengyi stood up instantly, and the cups on the table fell to the ground, as if Mo Fengyi's originally messy thoughts were also shattered, and now they are even more torn apart. .

Jiao Yanhong's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled lightly: "Things in the world are always complicated and confusing, but there will always be a day when the clouds and mists will be cleared."

Mo Feng's deep voice was filled with fluster and impatience, and he was so curious that he couldn't suppress it, but in the curiosity, there was a subconscious fear of the truth: "What do you mean by this book?"

Jiao Yanhong said leisurely and contentedly: "After watching for so long, don't you see the method to dispel Gu?"

Mo Feng was puzzled and said: "I don't understand, why can't Zi Ming?"

"There is only one way to get rid of the Gu, which is to transfer the Gu poison to another person, but that person must take the initiative and be willing, and then she will no longer be the Gu owner. But that is because the Gu poison is not deep Under the circumstances, now Ling Ziming has already expelled the Gu, and the Gu poison has penetrated into the blood, and she has no chance." Jiao Yanhong's face was indifferent, with cruel coldness.

Mo Fengyi was even more confused: "Then why is Fang Zhu the one who was bewitched and why can he be saved?"

"Because at the beginning when he got the Gu, there was a willing person who turned the Gu for him and became the Gu master instead of him."

Mo Fengyi's heart was filled with sadness in a trance, and the fine sweat on his hands, which was originally produced by nervousness, was also slightly cold.

Mo Fengyi had another nightmare just after the Thunder Moon Festival.

This time the trick was changed again, it wasn't who fell into the water, but who committed suicide.

This person is actually his own father, Mo Xian.

Mo Fengyi almost went crazy on the bed. He grabbed the quilt and tore a big hole, and then leaned quietly to listen to the sound of the rain. The pale, dirty light outside the window spread on him, as if mixed with a little rain moisture. Mo Fengyi's quilt was soaked with chill, which made him feel uncomfortable.

Mo Fengyi rubbed his swollen and aching head, his thoughts drifted to nowhere.

Linfeng Wanxuan was very close to the General's Mansion, but Mo Fengyi didn't really want to go there. If Xun Can was disturbed again, he might not be able to sleep peacefully that night.

So Mo Fengyi just listened to the sound of the rain and sat on the bed all night.

It's not that we can't tell Xun Can about this, Mo Fengyi really doesn't want to hide anything from him, but he doesn't know how to say it, all this has nothing to do with Xun Can, why drag him into the quagmire?

He had a headache, so bad that he wished he could rush into the sky and pull that goddamn raining god out to whip him.

Early the next morning, Xun Can rushed into the Linfeng Evening Pavilion.

"The emperor issued an order to thoroughly investigate the flood and corruption and the fire in Shangshu's mansion!" Xun Can said with a happy face.

Gongsun Songli also showed his face immediately and said: "You impeached Kun Yi this morning?"

"That's natural, but I didn't expect the emperor to agree so happily, and I was going to write a letter for days. Now it seems that the situation is very good. As long as the evidence is firmly grasped, Kun Yi will never have a chance to stand up."

Mo Fengyi rubbed his brows, smiled lightly and said, "That's good, you shouldn't be in charge of this matter, right? You are a general, and you don't care about internal inspection."

Xun Can nodded: "The chief supervisor of the Qiuhao Supervisor, Ying Yanqi, will check and verify, with the assistance of the Ministry of Officials."

"The Minister of the Ministry of Officials is Kun Tongxian, what does the emperor mean?" Mo Fengyi frowned slightly, could it be that Shu Hanxu wanted to cover up again?

Xun Can shook his head, his voice became brighter: "Kun Tongxian has been dismissed, and now Li Yan, the servant, will take the place of the Shangshu to conduct the review."

"So fast?!"

"Of course, when the account books are submitted, Kun Tongxian is guilty of refusing to report the knowledge and concealing the crime of dereliction of duty." Xun Can bent his lips and said to himself, "Don't worry, this matter will be settled within a month."

Mo Fengyi was still worried: "Isn't the physical evidence still incomplete? It is difficult for the Yongfu Army to enter. What are you going to do?"

"Kun Tongxian is now suspended and detained. Maybe the Yongfu Army can enter if there is an opportunity, and I know someone, maybe she can help us." Xun Can said calmly, "And even if we can't produce this evidence, the overall situation is now at stake. Sure, nothing to worry about."

"Can't you apply to the emperor to investigate the Yongfu Army? It's justifiable?" Gongsun Songli asked anxiously.

Mo Fengyi shook his head and explained: "Investigating the army requires the consent of the commander of the army. Although Xun Can is an admiral, he is beyond his reach, so he has to avoid suspicion. If he breaks in rashly, if he finds nothing, Xun Can will not escape being sentenced for slander." crime."

Xun Can seemed to have considered everything: "I'll go find her in the afternoon, don't worry."

Gongsun Songli asked curiously: "Who is it? Isn't the Yongfu army always in the hands of the Kun family and King Wei Bin?"

"Naturally, it is Xi Changliang, the former general of the Yongfu Army. Although he has retired, but fortunately, I know his granddaughter. Maybe I can give it a try. For the sake of the old general, the Yongfu Army should let us check it out." Check." Xun Can responded.

Mo Fengyi raised his eyebrows when he heard the words: "Is that Xi Tong? The one who wrote to you last time?"

Xun Can nodded: "I have already told her."

"Shall we meet at noon? I'll go with you." Mo Fengyi blinked.

Xun Can didn't understand, so he asked, "Why?"

"I'm also in a hurry. The matter of Yongfu Army has been found out, so I can take down all the people who participated in the Jianghu." Mo Fengyi narrowed his eyes with a smile, and he suddenly felt that his headache was not a big deal.

Xun Can said helplessly: "She just likes to practice martial arts, so she joined the Shadow Vine Army..."

"It doesn't matter, General Xun. Anyway, you know each other well, as long as you know each other well." Mo Fengyi was still smiling, but Xun Can obviously felt that this person's smile didn't reach his eyes.

Gongsun Songli didn't see anything, and nodded solemnly: "Be careful in everything."

"Pei Zhixu went to secretly investigate the forces in the surrounding rivers and lakes. Song Li, you don't come out of Linfeng Wanxuan recently, so don't let anyone who is interested notice you." Mo Fengyi stood up and confessed.

Gongsun Songli nodded obediently: "I will, I will wait for your good news."

Xi Tong is a neat and delicate girl, especially her pair of bright and round eyes, one can tell that she is destined for wealth.When Mo Fengyi saw her, he thought of Ling Ziming, who was proud in the past. Maybe women who practice martial arts have some common characteristics.

"Before you stopped me from going to the Shadow Rattan Army, how is it now? You don't have to ask me for something, do you regret it?" Xi Tong slapped the table proudly, "I tell you, this girl can hold a grudge!"

"Miss Xi, the matter is very important. I just hope you can mention it to Grandfather Ling." Xun Can said confidently, "If you can't help, then forget it."

Xi Tong said in a panic: "Hey! I didn't say no, but my grandfather has long since stopped asking about world affairs, and I haven't seen him for some time."

"Old General Xi is a meritorious minister who followed the late emperor. Under his leadership, the Yongfu Army has made great progress. If he knows that some moths are going to empty the army's treasury, the old general will definitely not sit idly by." Xun Can Obviously prepared a lot of rhetoric, and was about to grind Xi Tong hard.

Xi Tong was thoughtful, glanced behind Xun Can, his eyes lit up instantly: "This is..."

Mo Fengyi took the initiative to step forward to Xun Can's side and said, "I am the general's guard."

Xun Can just nodded, but he felt Xi Tong's unusually hot eyes.

"There is such a bold guard, the general hasn't spoken yet, you are in a hurry." Xi Tong chuckled, "But you are so handsome, so what if you make a mistake?"

Mo Fengyi's expression changed, and Xi Tong's tone was somewhat frivolous.

Xi Tong continued to laugh and said, "What's your name? Are you also part of the Shadow Rattan Army? Why haven't I seen you?"

Xun Can said calmly: "Miss Xi, he is just someone close to me, let's talk about how to persuade the old general."

"Such a good-looking person, I didn't know before..." Xi Tong curled his lips and muttered.

"Miss Xi?"

With great difficulty, Xi Tong moved Ruju's gaze away from Mo Fengyi's face, and when she fell on Xun Can's side again, she sighed inaudibly: "Understood, I will tell my grandfather."

Xun Can nodded lightly: "Then thank Miss Xi and Old General Xi in advance."

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. Even if my grandfather is willing to report this matter to the emperor, what if they had taken precautions and hid the goods in advance? It's not just that this matter will fail, even my grandfather will be lost at the end of the day. "Xi Tong raised his eyebrows, glanced at Mo Fengyi again, and turned his eyes back as if nothing had happened, "Unless you are sure, I can explain clearly to my grandfather."

Mo Feng moved his Adam's apple, subconsciously hid behind Xun Can, and lowered his eyebrows.

Xun Can naturally agreed: "This is as it should be, we will not implicate the old general at will."

Xi Tong nodded in satisfaction: "It's best to know the exact location, type and number. It's faster to catch them all, so that they don't have a chance to resurface. My father usually can't stand the Kun family's arrogance. I miss him. I will also agree."

"Then just two days, I will try my best to find out." Xun Can said with an uncertain expression.

Mo Fengyi whispered a few words beside him, Xun Can nodded, and Mo Fengyi went out the door.

Xi Tong snorted coldly, but his eyes still unconsciously followed the figure: "A guard, actually left without saluting to me, how courageous."

Xun Can smiled lightly and said, "I told him to go back to the mansion first to deal with some matters. Miss Xi doesn't need to be as knowledgeable as him."

Xi Tong also smiled, and waved his hand to indicate that it doesn't matter: "Of course my lady won't get angry with him, but he is definitely not a guard, am I right? General Xun."

Xun Can's eyes moved slightly: "Why did Miss Xi say that?"

"Clothes and hair accessories can be changed, but his posture and demeanor are not. Not only did he have this red lips and white teeth, but he also has an aggressive posture. General Xun, if I'm right, he must have something to do with this incident , otherwise you wouldn’t bring him here. But I want to advise you, the fewer people involved in this matter, the better. Even if the emperor is willing to eradicate the Kun family, he definitely doesn’t like to see other officials continue to form cliques. Make a party."

After all, Xi Tong was born in the deeply rooted Xi family, even if she doesn't care about these things, she still knows what is involved in this matter.

Xun Can raised his eyebrows: "Then why is Miss Xi willing to help me this time? Don't you know that I am inseparable from this matter? Don't worry about the emperor suspecting that I have something to do with your Xi family?"

"My father wishes you and I have something to do with each other." Xi Tong smiled, "Why do you think he is willing to let me join the Shadow Vine Army?"

Xun Can frowned slightly, he didn't like others to think about him presumptuously.

"Master Xi means..."

"He wants me to marry you." Xi Tong said directly, "Looking at all the civil and military courts, he only has eyes for you among young talents."

Xun Can was really at a loss, he said slowly: "Then you...do you want to marry me?"

Xi Tong thought for a while: "To be honest, I haven't met you a few times, but I often hear all kinds of people praise you, so when my father and I mentioned marriage, I also came here with an attitude of indifference. But this time It’s different when I see you, you didn’t let me down, you are a good-looking person, you act vigorously in the army, and you are meticulous in doing things, I like it very much.”

Xun Can had a feeling of being picked, and he said calmly: "So, Miss Xi is also favored?"

Xi Tong smiled: "Don't talk about Beiyi, does the whole Central Plains dare to look down on you? It's just that I don't want to marry into a powerful family, and I can't like you."

Xun Can asked curiously, "Didn't you just say you liked me?"

Xi Tong said helplessly: "All the women who want to marry you and their mother's family like you because of your background and status, your appearance and talent, but we haven't seen you very much, so how can we like you?"

Xun Can clenched his lips helplessly: "Miss Xi is really straightforward."

"I have nothing to beat around the bush. Anyway, since ancient times when high-ranking officials and nobles got married, affection has never mattered. The Xi family has been prosperous in civil and military affairs for generations. Although you, Xun Can, are outstanding in everything, if you want to gain a firm foothold in the court, you also need the support of the Xi family. We are well matched, if my father really proposes to the emperor, I will marry you." Xi Tong shrugged, "Speaking of which, I saw the guard just now, which is more exciting than seeing you for the first time. I am happy."

Xun Can twitched the corner of his mouth: "Miss Xi misunderstood, I never wanted to get involved with Xi's family, and I didn't even plan to get married."

"Could it be that you have a woman you like?" Xi Tong's eyes were startled, "Who is it?"

Xun Can said, "Well...just an ordinary person, I can't compare with Miss Xi."

"Actually, I would rather marry an ordinary person. An ordinary life is better than being imprisoned by someone." Xi Tong curled her lips, "But my father didn't. He wanted me to marry Xiang Qianrong before, but unfortunately the Lin family took the lead. You, if you fail again, maybe he will pick someone else, so I won't pick any more."

Xun Can followed the Huatou and said: "You are the only daughter in the Xi family, and Master Xi naturally hopes that you will have a worry-free life, so I want to choose a suitable husband for you. It's just that I thought you really liked martial arts when you entered the Yingteng Army. think......"

"Xun Can, I really like to practice martial arts, but women like General Yu are rare after all, and few women can spend their entire lives in the military like her." Xi Tong turned cold, as if she didn't like it very much when others mentioned it, "Even if you You are a man, even if you are unrestrained, you can’t marry that ordinary person? Even if you don’t marry me, the emperor will arrange for you another woman from an aristocratic family.”

There was a smile on the corner of Xun Can's mouth, but it was a pity that the smile was only on the corner of his mouth and said: "This is my own business."

Xi Tong sneered: "Why do you think the emperor agreed to the impeachment this time? Didn't you look at you and the prince? Speaking of which, you are not a royal family, but you were brought up under the knees of the imperial concubine since childhood. How much does the emperor value you?" Beiyi knows, how can you decide the future marriage by yourself?"

"Miss Xi, you'd better wait for my news. Once there is news about Yongfu Army, I will inform you in time." Xun Can's face was calm, but Xi Tong knew that he was already a little unhappy.

Xi Tong didn't bother to touch his bad head, just nodded: "Okay, I'll go back first."

When Xi Tong went out, he saw Mo Fengyi standing in the courtyard with his back facing her. His slender figure with broad shoulders and narrow waist made people unconsciously want to take a second look.

Xi Tong cleared her cough, and Mo Fengyi turned around and saluted her pretendingly.

Xi Tong saw that he was dressed as a guard, but he was even more certain that this person was not as simple as a guard, so he just snorted and turned to go out.

Mo Fengyi felt strange, but it was hard to ask, Xun Can went out and said, "I thought you went back first."

"That Miss Xi...does she have a crush on you?" Mo Fengyi squinted his eyes, examining Xun Can.

Xun Can raised her eyebrows: "No, she just told me that she has a crush on you."

"Ah?" Mo Fengyi was shocked. It was the first time he and Xi Tong met, so...he fell in love with it?

Xun Can curled up the corners of her mouth and brought a smile to her eyes: "Well, she even asked me if you have a sweetheart."

Mo Fengyi frowned and curled his lips: "Why didn't I think she would say that, you are a dignified general, why should she like me but not you?"

"How would I know? But don't worry, I'll tell her that you have someone you like and send her away." Xun Can smiled, staring at Mo Fengyi motionlessly.

Mo Fengyi swallowed, feeling very dangerous, he bit his lower lip and said, "Is she just telling you this?"

"Of course not. Xi Tong is willing to mention it to her grandfather. As long as we can find evidence that the Yongfu Army is indeed hiding inferior weapons, and then Old General Xi will come forward to search, we will definitely be able to take them down in one fell swoop."

Mo Fengyi suddenly felt that this Xi Tong could not be of much help: "But we have to go in to find the evidence."

Xun Can also lamented: "Who says it's not, it seems that I should find a way to disguise myself, try to sneak in and have a look."

Mo Fengyi directly vetoed it: "That must not work, your goal is too big, if it is discovered that your previous efforts have been in vain, I'd better go, it's not good to tell others about it."

Xun Can shook his head: "Everyone knows that you are not in the imperial city. If you are exposed, without the protection of the Wenyu League, those Jianghu sects will let you go?"

Mo Fengyi didn't think right or left, and suddenly had an idea: "I know how to get the evidence out."

Xun Can frowned: "What do you want to do?"

"Why are you making that tone, isn't it good that I thought of a solution?" Mo Fengyi pouted.

Xun Can sighed softly: "I don't think you have anything to do with this matter, you better leave it alone."

Mo Fengyi snorted coldly: "How could I not care about it? The Yongfu Army's weapons came from Chongyu Mountain Villa. They were bought and sold by Shu Renlu and Dai Huiyuan privately. It is also a matter of Jianghu."

"But in the end it's up to me and the prince to discuss this matter, you shouldn't interfere." Xun Can refused him without even thinking about it, without the slightest hesitation.

"What do you mean? Do you want me to sit idly by?"

Xun Can closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was clear: "You must not expose, and so does Zi Ming."

"I'm not afraid, Zi Ming is even less afraid."

"I'm afraid." Xun Can looked at him quietly, "Because I might not be able to keep you."

Mo Feng said forcefully: "I don't need your protection."

"Even if you don't care about yourself, don't you worry about Zi Ming?" Xun Can said impatiently with a hint of uneasiness.

"Zi Ming told me that she has long been tired of fleeing secretly, and that instead of waiting for those people to find her, it is better to face the result."

Xun Can felt a headache: "Now is not the time to be impulsive, can you stop messing around?"

Mo Fengyi's complexion was almost the same color as the black clothes he wore as a guard: "Do you think I'm messing around?"

Xun Can was speechless for a while: "...Then tell me what you want to do."

"I have not decided yet."

Mo Fengyi deliberately got angry with him, and strode away angrily, not even wanting to say a word.

Xun Can stayed where he was, extremely helpless.
