Lost Charm

"What good will this do for King Zhao?"

As the envoy of Beizhen, Meng Yingming knew about Sun Lie and Xu Qin's plan very early on, and cooperated with him to let go of many traitorous embroidered clothes on purpose within three years, making King Zhao mistakenly think that his hand had finally reached in. He left Beizhen Fusi.However, Xu Qin never explained the reason, and Meng Yingming knew that he was waiting for an opportunity to speak, so he never asked, until now.

"This is why Ji Hai and I have a headache." Sun Lie sighed, just when everyone thought he wanted to explain, he went the other way and asked Yu Chijiong: "What do you think of Liang Hongji?"

Yu Chijiong was taken aback, wondering why he suddenly brought up this lingering half-demon prince. The next moment, he widened his eyes and said in surprise: "You want to say that King Zhao is a half-demon? Another one will come after 300 years?"

Except for Xu Qin, everyone's expressions changed greatly when they were frightened by Yu Chijiong's words. Among them, Qian Jiguang reacted the most. He stood up abruptly and asked loudly, "What's the matter with Liang Hongji?"

The people and demons present immediately calmed down: ...

Yuchi Jiong rolled his eyes and said, "You really know how to pick the point."

Qian Jiguang found himself receiving one strange stare after another, touched his nose and said in embarrassment: "I have always been curious about the Bailu incident..."

Sun Lie couldn't help bursting out laughing. Seeing Qian Jiguang's puzzled expression, Xu Qin said, "The reason for his laughing is that there are three people sitting in front of you who have experienced the Bailu Incident—shut up and don't yell, I I can tell you the same now, Liang Hongji is half demon, half mountain ghost and half human, and I will ask about the rest later.”

He Tong didn't know what the Bailu Incident was, so naturally she didn't understand the reason for Qian Jiguang's excitement. She focused on Zhao Wang and said, "How do you know that Zhao Wang is a half-demon?"

Hearing this, Sun Lie revealed Yue Mingzhong's bitter face, and said: "Before King Zhao died of a sudden illness, his biological mother, Concubine Liu, lived with her all the time. Naturally, more people came in and out to take care of the prince. Concubine Liu is a traditional A woman who has a lot of strange stories about how the trees grow rapidly overnight, the branches move according to her will, and the withered flowers come to life in her palm. Zhi, to protect her and the baby King Zhao."

"Just like Liang Hongji's mother back then, the first emperor met Liu Concubine outside and brought him back to the palace. Since he was not a wealthy family, it is not surprising that he was a demon. When King Zhao was young, there was also a secret story that the palace conjured branches out of thin air. Of course, most of the people who knew about this matter are dead." Sun Lie continued, since Xu Qin ordered him to investigate Zhao Wang, he used Liang Youxi's name to force the old man in the palace to speak.He thought he was very low-key, but he didn't expect that his every move would fall into the eyes of the bad emperor. As a result, in order to find out the secrets of the palace, he didn't know how many postures he unlocked, and it really hurts his back when he thinks about it.

"If this is the case, the possibility of being a mountain demon is very high." He Tong nodded and said, unless the servants in the palace feel that they have lived enough, they will take the initiative to make up the birth of the dragon concubine, so these rumors There's a good chance it's true.

Xu Qin said, "After Zixi came back, we suspected that King Zhao's other half was a mountain ghost."

Ye Heng raised his eyebrows and said, "How do you say that?"

Sun Lie said irresponsibly, "Guess."

Xu Qin snorted, apparently dissatisfied with Sun Lie for putting the responsibility of explaining on him, and said: "Sun Lie and I once went to the demon world, and we were considered young and frivolous at the time, so we rushed into them during the annual festival of the mountain ghosts. We found out there that although the mountain ghost does not have the ability of the Luoshan monster clan, it can unexpectedly sense people who travel through time and space. When participating in the White Deer Incident, Liang Hongji once said that he did not want to Killing me and Zixi means that we are people from different time and space. Looking at the present, Sun Lie also said that there are many people from King Zhao who have been in Fangxun Pavilion these days, and they are all inquiring about Zixi."

Hard to be a guest?Yu Chijiong rubbed his chin. Given the circumstances of Du Lei's death, Sun Lie must have dragged people to make a fuss. Ji Hai said he was very polite.

"In the past, I dealt with any mice that came in immediately. For the sake of the overall situation, I endured so much hard work." Sun Lie wiped away the tears that didn't exist in his eyes, and added in a coquettish tone: "Of course, Youxi's family will stay. on."

He Tong: Do you want your wife to be so "gentle" to you?

Ye Heng: No, no, it's Sun Lie who has a brain problem. No matter what, my wife is the best in the world.

Sun Lie: ... Don't think that I don't know that you are flirting and saying that I am not.

"Does the emperor know?" Meng Yingming still asked after all. After all, they sat here to discuss and have only one real purpose - to kill King Zhao, but this is not a joke.

"He asked us to find a good reason to come out. Although he has a lot of ways to silence the officials, he wants to convince others. The boy is worried that the historian will say that he is jealous of Zhao Shan's ghostly achievements." Sun Lie said disgustedly, although this The words represent the emperor's acquiescence to their actions.

"Regardless of his purpose, we can't let him go just because he's playing with people's lives." Xu Qin said with a righteous face, only Yu Chijiong saw through that he wanted to kill people because of Xu Yanfeng.

"Before I found a good thing from Liang Youxi. The new emperor needs to make a new imperial jade seal according to the tradition, and that guy's jade seal is made of ice demon jade. That is to say, the capital has been rising in recent years. The reason for the monster case comes from here." Sun Lie said lightly.

He Tong immediately said: "Ice demon jade is not said to be available, how can the human world have such a large piece of jade as a jade seal for the emperor?"

Sun Lie didn't speak, but glanced at Xu Qin, Xu Qin put down his teacup, and glanced at Yu Chijiong again, so everyone followed Yuchijiong's gaze and waited for an explanation.

Yu Chijiong was also waiting for Sun Lie to explain, but suddenly everyone was waiting for him to speak, he blinked, and said in a hesitant tone: "Isn't it the one we found in the hunting ground that day?"

"Exactly." Sun Lie said in a complacent tone from nowhere, "Since you are not here, Ji Hai and I decided to leave it in the place of yin and seal it, and sent people to guard it all the time. One day Xu Yanfeng picked up a small Baby, I just said that I have to settle down anyway, why not take care of us by the way, and then a few years later, in order to pass the entrance test, a certain kid brought Yu back to Beijing from the place of Yin Qi and handed it over to the emperor. Clear."

The grown-up kid twitched his eyes and said, "I'm sorry, didn't you decide the entrance test questions? Now put the blame on me?"

Sun Lie said in a tone that has nothing to do with me: "At that time, I had a heated argument with Liang Youxi. I didn't care what he wanted to do. Since he asked to specify a topic, I naturally didn't even look at it."

Xu Qin continued: "I thought Sun Lie was in charge so I didn't make any sense. Besides, I was more concerned about what to cook for Zixi when he came back."

Yu Chijiong nodded affirmatively, and said: "I see, this is really important, no wonder Ji Hai doesn't care about other things."

Qian Jiguang gave Yu Chijiong a disgusted look, could this feeling be more obvious?

Sun Lie pretended not to see Qian Jiguang's eyes. To be honest, he knew that Liang Youxi asked Yu Chijiong to bring back the Ice Demon Jade. Knowing what kind of monsters the ice demon jade will attract, if the future Fenglinlou snake demon and Luo Luoniao come because of this, what will happen in the future.

"Until I don't have to hide in the dark, don't act rashly." That's what Xu Qin said at the time.

Sun Lie understood that Xu Qin had been waiting for nearly 300 years, as long as he gritted his teeth and endured for another ten years, he could stand by Yu Chijiong's side. It is used to please oneself.Unexpectedly, Xu Qin and Sun Lie's negligence caused accidents, and Yuxi was deliberately sealed with evil spirits. If Sun Lie hadn't been bored playing with it, he would not have discovered the shocking truth.

"I asked Liang Youxi, and he said that the king of Zhao told him that there was a high-quality jade in the forest, and it was just right to use it as a material. After Yu Chijiong brought it back, he took a look at it himself, and felt that what King Zhao said was right. That’s why I sent the ice demon jade to make jade seals.” When Sun Lie said this, his face was stinky, obviously Liang Youxi thought he was smart, and he said: “I believe you also know that the imperial jade seal cannot be changed for life. Yes, after the death of the emperor, he will be buried with him, which means that we will be busy for as long as Liang Youxi lives."

"What kind of face do you have? You are not a front-line officer." He Tong contradicted angrily, and then said: "So we now know that King Zhao is half-human and half-mountain ghost, and secondly, he used the ice demon jade as an introduction. , attracted a large number of monsters and has been secretly taking human lives to make troubles in the capital, and the third is the most important thing, the emperor approved us to move King Zhao."

"What's your plan?" Yu Chijiong asked, he remembered He Tong saying that Xu Qin and Sun Lie had been casting nets.

"King Zhao has always wanted to reach out to the Underworld, but there are only a few members in the Underworld, and it is difficult to win over. He used to look for me when I was imprisoned in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and now he should want to win over the frustrated Zixi, especially He can detect that Zixi was passed back. So, we might as well use our tricks and make King Zhao think that Zixi is relying on him, so that we can control the flow of information and let him get some fake news that we deliberately let him know." Xu Qin Open your mouth lightly.

"You mean you want me to be an undercover agent? Yes, no problem." Yu Chijiong replied straight away, since he experienced Liang Hongji's special hospitality, he felt that everything was easy.

"Very well, then you'll be the one first, and we'll talk about other things." Yu Chijiong said that it sounded like a slap, and Xu Qin's mouth curled into a fleeting smile when he saw this, deliberately making things difficult.

Yu Chijiong raised his eyebrows helplessly, facing Ji Hai's little prank, he was willing to bear it.

"Yu Chijiong will live here from today, lest he put people in for a while and then be seen by others." Sun Lie ordered: "Ji Hai's tea house has no servants, and it has set up a strict protection , even if Yu Chijiong walks naked here, no one will know."

Yu Chijiong was silent for a while, and decided to correct it: "...I won't walk around without clothes, not in the mansion, and even less outside."
