knife cut mountains and rivers

The signs of Zhou Xuanyi's daily actions are very simple. There are only two points and one line at the Po Temple and Wande Academy. Occasionally, he goes to the Baisui Square opposite the Dongmen Theater to see how the zodiac cards are doing. Therefore, Jin Yiwei came to Bailu City for more than half a day. Yue didn't even meet Zhou Xuanyi face to face.

But Zhou Xuanyi has been thinking these two days, how to run into Jin Yiwei in a reasonable way.

But he was just thinking about this matter, but someone added fuel to the flames. The calligraphy and painting he gave to Xia Shisong at that time germinated secretly as a seed buried in Xiahou's mansion.

Since Jin Yiwei entered Bailu City, he has been living in the other courtyard of Xiahou Mansion, and the governor of Jinyiwei, Lu Chuanbai, hardly stays at home, investigating the cause of Lord Xiahou's death.Master Xia Hou's body was preserved in an ice coffin, and he still kept his appearance before death, with a smile on his face.

The death happened so fast that Lord Xia Hou had his chest ripped open before he could even react.The cut on the chest is neat and tidy, no more, no less, just enough to take out a heart.

As Fucheng said, there are very few people in the world who can do this, no more than ten people.But why did the murderer want to show his heart?Still only pay half?

Was the murderer deterring something?

Lu Chuanbai couldn't figure out how many groups of people there were in Xiahou Mansion that day.On the first day he came to Xiahou's mansion, Lu Chuanbai found out that Lord Xiahou was about to rebel. It seemed to be going well, but in fact it became more and more difficult.

Because Meng Qilai, the owner of Wanjian Mountain Villa, doesn't know anything, he only knows that Lord Xiahou protects his prosperity and wealth.

When cleaning Xiahou's mansion on the fourth day, Jin Yiwei found a secret passage under the rockery in Xiahou's compound, and there were nine corpses in the secret passage.

Although the corpses were charred, their identities could also be judged from their corpses. They were short in stature, with iron claws attached to their hands, and bronze masks welded on their faces.Lu Chuanbai quickly recognized that this should be the imp from Wuchangmen.

The gate of impermanence is going to use darts, what exactly did Lord Xia hide in his backyard?

Lu Chuanbai has already sent the memorial of the Xiahou Mansion's rebellion to the capital, but the emperor's attitude is ambiguous. He even invited Lu Chuanbai's old enemy here, which made Lu Chuanbai feel bad for the past two days. What does the emperor mean? He doesn't trust him Are they Jinyiwei?

When Lu Chuanbai was depressed, he walked around the Xiahou Mansion, trying to find some clues.

Xiahou's mansion was burned like ruins, only the west courtyard was relatively small in flames, the Shizi's other courtyard was still intact, Xiahou Lord's courtyard was blackened even the walls and rubble.

People in Xiahou's Mansion panicked when they saw Lu Chuanbai. The sons of Xiahou's Mansion who originally dominated Bailu City saw Lu Chuanbai as if they saw a ghost.The news of the Xiahou Mansion's rebellion spread, and it was only a matter of time before the imperial decree of the emperor's family was copied and beheaded.Many of the concubine's servants even wanted to escape secretly, and quickly escaped from the sinking ship of Xiahou Mansion.But without exception, they were detained by Jin Yiwei. As long as Lu Chuanbai stayed in Xiahou Mansion for a day, no one would even think about going out.

Xia Shilin's wife, Ms. Wang, is already insane. She probably saw the moment when the murderer killed, and she would only repeat every day: "It hurts so much, I hurt so much."

Lu Chuanbai felt a headache just looking at her, but he didn't expect that Xia Shilin would also go crazy after a few days.Since the Xiahou Mansion discovered the rebellion, the princes and wives could only move about in the Xiahou Mansion, and they were invisibly deprived of their freedom.But Xia Shilin kept talking about going to meet His Highness the Crown Prince all day long.

"Let me meet the prince, the prince said that I want to protect myself." Xia Shilin knelt down when he saw Lu Chuanbai, begging him to speak to the prince.

Hearing Xia Shilin's nonsense, Lu Chuanbai just sneered at first. When he left, he had inquired about His Royal Highness from afar. Zhou Heng was put under house arrest in the Prince's Mansion by the emperor for a reason that was neither serious nor serious.This incident made the capital uneasy. Everyone wondered if the emperor wanted to abolish the crown prince?But the emperor only has such a son, so if the prince is abolished, is it possible to establish the heir of the clan?

But after listening to Xia Shilin talking about it for a long time, I felt that something was a little strange.Why did Master Xiahou suddenly rebel?Does this have something to do with the prince?

Xia Shilin's words inevitably made people think too much. One of Lu Chuanbai's staff even speculated whether it was because the prince was about to be abolished, so he joined forces with the Xiahou Mansion to rebel and force the palace.But this speculation is simply nonsense. Xiahou's mansion is far away in Suzhou. If the prince wants to rebel, he might as well find the queen's natal family.

Fearing that rumors would spread to the outside world, Lu Chuanbai temporarily placed Xia Shilin under house arrest, and his ears were immediately cleared up.

But when I think about it, I feel melancholy. Why should Lu Chuanbai be involved in the struggle for imperial power?Lu Chuanbai became famous at a young age, broke the famous ghost fire case in Kyoto, and took the position of the general flag at the age of 30. To sum up, Lu Chuanbai is a proud character, and the only ones above him in Jinyiwei are the remaining three equals The general banner, and the governor at the top, Lu Chuanbai has never been so aggrieved since he became an official.

Lu Chuanbo was worried, the most unlucky one was Li Shuyuan, he was obviously a head catcher who was eating and drinking in the government office of the mansion, because Jin Yiwei was not manned enough, he was transferred from the government office.

After he came to Xiahou's mansion to help, he was scolded every day, and Lu Chuanbai saw that he was not pleasing to the eye.

Lu Chuanbai is an elite of the Jinyiwei in the capital, and he pays attention to efficiency when doing things, but Li Shuyuan is a bum who just waits to die, and he is procrastinating in doing things.

Lu Chuanbai said: "Is the matter settled?"

"Okay...well." Li Shuyuan was a little submissive to Lu Chuanbai, and said, "It's almost there."

"You were asked to stop Liu Yu's progress in Dongchang. After doing such a simple thing for so long, how did you become a captor?" Lu Chuanbai suffocated in his heart, and vented his anger on Li Shuyuan.

He is from Dongchang, and he is a small headhunter. How can he be slow if he says he is slow?Li Shuyuan scolded back a long time ago according to his previous temper. He is used to being domineering in Bailu City, and even his son Li Feng can walk in Bailu City. I can bear it.

After a while, Li Shuyuan received news that a corpse was found at the gate of the city. Lu Chuanbai feared that this matter might have something to do with the Xiahou Mansion, so he released Li Shuyuan to investigate the case.

Lu Chuanbai was upset, and wandered into Xia Shisong's other courtyard inexplicably.Xia Shisong suffered the most from this incident in the Xiahou Mansion. He is the future head of the family and has a heavier burden on him. He can't be crazy like Xia Shilin.Xia Shisong's reaction was very calm, unlike other family members who kept shouting: "Impossible, Lord Xiahou will not rebel, please be aware of the details."

The reason why Xia Shisong was calm was that he seemed to vaguely know that his father Xia Houye really wanted to rebel.

When Lu Chuanbai entered, Xia Shisong was sitting in front of the table and was slightly lost in thought. When he saw Lu Chuanbai coming, he just raised his eyelids and said, "Lord Lu." No wonder he didn't respect Jin Yiwei, but Lu Chuanbai put Xiahou Mansion Called a rebel, Xia Shisong is already cultivated enough without choking him.

Lu Chuanbai saw that he looked half-dead, and did not correct his manners. After all, Xia Shisong was no different from a walking dead now.But when Lu Chuanbai walked to the table and saw the calligraphy and painting, he was completely stunned.

"Where did you get this painting?" Lu Chuanbai asked.

Xia Shisong looked up at Lu Chuanbai, he seldom showed such a shocked expression, Xia Shisong felt a little strange when he saw the other person, and he was also a little mocking when he spoke, and said: "What's so strange about it being given by someone under my command? "

"Who?" Lu Chuanbai's voice was low and deep, as if on the verge of an explosion.

"A teacher." Xia Shisong was a little confused by Lu Chuanbai's appearance. He looked down at the calligraphy and painting and thought it was nothing special. When he received the painting, he thought the characters were well written. He once wanted to ask him to come forward to reward him, but soon this incident happened in the Xiahou Mansion, leaving him no room for maneuver, and all the leisure and elegance of appreciating calligraphy and painting were thrown out of the blue.

"Where is this man?" Lu Chuanbai squeezed his fists, and he was using almost all his strength to keep calm.

Although Xia Shisong didn't know the mystery of this painting, but he had a delicate mind, he immediately guessed that this might be the turning point of Xiahou Mansion, so he quickly grabbed the straw and said, "It's in Wande Academy."

"Bring someone to see me," Lu Chuanbai quickly changed his words without thinking, "No, no, I'll go see him."

Fucheng once asked Zhou Xuanyi twice what to do next, and Zhou Xuanyi's answer was to go to Wande.At that time, Fucheng always felt that Zhou Xuanyi was teasing him, but he never expected that Zhou Xuanyi's teaching would be able to recruit Lu Chuanbai, the General Banner of Jinyiwei.

When Lu Chuanbai came to the academy, the first person he met was Mr. Yu. Mr. Yu saw the Jinyi guard with a sword in the flying fish suit intruding into his academy, and thought that Zhou Xuanyi had indeed brought disaster to Wande Academy.Mr. Yu shuddered and knelt down with a bang.

Lu Chuanbai asked, "Where is the man?"

Lu Chuanbai's words were too simple, and ordinary people might ask, "Who are you talking about?" But Mr. Yu didn't have to guess at all, pointing to the inner courtyard with trembling fingers, he said, "Inside."

Lu Chuanbai led a large number of Jinyi guards to file in, and Zhou Xuanyi's movement of holding a book suddenly stopped.Lu Chuanbai couldn't believe it. He didn't expect the prince to be in Bailu City, and said, "Others get out."

The other students saw that the battle was going well, they didn't dare to take their schoolbags, so they ran away in desperation.Only one little girl did not leave, instead she showed two Emei thorns, stood beside Zhou Xuanyi, and said to Lu Chuanbai, "What do you want to do?"

Jin Ling didn't leave, and neither did Zhao Xiaohu. He was actually a little scared, but he didn't dare to leave Jin Ling here alone, so he could only stand in front of Zhou Xuanyi.

Lu Chuanbai did not expect that someone would dare to block the way. Jin Ling stood in front of Zhou Xuanyi holding the Emei thorn like a grinning little beast. Lu Chuanbai didn't pay attention to it at all, and ordered: "Take it down .”

At this time, a hand suddenly appeared on Jin Ling's shoulder, and Zhou Xuanyi placed his hand heavily on Jin Ling's shoulder and said, "Who dares?"

Jin Yiwei had already filed out, but because of Zhou Xuanyi's insignificant words, he suddenly stopped in place, wondering if he should move forward.

Zhou Xuanyi patted Jin Ling on the shoulder and said, "You take Zhao Xiaohu away first."

"But you..." Jin Ling was a little worried, but Fucheng handed Zhou Xuanyi into his hands, and if Fucheng saw something happened to Zhou Xuanyi, he didn't know what he would do.

Zhou Xuanyi smiled slightly at Jin Ling, and said, "I'm fine."

Zhou Xuanyi seldom smiled, every expression on his face had a special meaning, Jin Ling gritted his teeth and hesitated for a while, before leaving the scene with Zhao Xiaohu.This is a matter for their adults, Jinling plans to ask Fucheng for help.

After Jin Ling left, Jin Yiwei surrounded the academy from top to bottom. After searching around to make sure there were no outsiders, Lu Chuanbai lifted his robe and said, "His Royal Highness."

Zhou Xuanyi was still calm, but it was not the same as what Fu Cheng saw.He obviously didn't do anything, just standing there could make people feel a compelling aura.

The Jinyi guards saw that their general flag was kneeling, and when they heard that the other party was the crown prince, they also knelt down and said in unison: "See His Royal Highness the crown prince."

Zhou Xuanyi looked at the dozens of Jinyi guards kneeling on the ground, he seemed to have gained a long-lost power, instead of stopping Lu Chuanbai from saluting, Zhou Xuanyi deliberately left Lu Chuanbai to dry for a while, neither speaking nor moving.

It took a while before Zhou Xuanyi stood in front of Lu Chuanbai.

Lu Chuanbai was staring at the land in front of him, but suddenly saw the tip of Zhou Xuanyi's boot, and felt an invisible pressure. The next moment, Lu Chuanbai was supported by Zhou Xuanyi.Zhou Xuanyi stared at Lu Chuanbai with dark and heavy eyes, and said, "His Royal Highness is far away in the capital, and there is no prince in Bailu City."
