Chapter 190
Fire
On the fifth day of March that year, five days had passed since the incident in the Wen family. The Wen mansion was in a mess and the smell of blood lingered for a long time.
Originally, he wanted to hide this matter from Zhaoying and move out quickly.
But at that time.
The little Zhaoying has already shown amazing intelligence and ability. She could see that something had happened in the Wen Mansion and cried to get in.
Jiang Zhenggan knew his daughter's temper and she would not give up unless she went to the Wen family. He also wanted to verify the extent of his daughter's talent, so he asked the servants to pull out the small door between the two mansions and quietly entered the Wen mansion from there.
The little person cried hysterically when she saw the devastation, the gloom, and the bloodstains in the distance.
She ran into Wen Shuye's yard crying, her big eyes as clear as spring water filled with fear and longing.
She ran into Wen Shuye's room and found a little doll that she had given to Wen Shuye. This doll was bought from the Xu family's shop. It was said that this doll was made by the young master of the Xu family himself.
There were bloodstains on the little doll, which should have belonged to Wen Shuye. When Zhaoying was running with the doll in her arms, she fell to the ground, hit her teeth, and dripped blood on the doll.
At that time, Ying'er was crying and shouting for Brother Shuye to come back to life. Her strong will almost moved the heaven and earth.
He remembers.
At that time, the air seemed to shake violently like a barrier, but it was only fleeting. Because I didn't look closely, I didn't pay attention to it at that time.
It seems now.
It was precisely because of Ying'er's obsession and talent, and possibly the obsession of the Wen family's relatives who loved Shuye before they died, plus the fact that the little baby was likely to have a close relationship with Xu Zhiyan, the combination of these three factors allowed Shuye to be reborn into Xu Zhiyan's body.
but.
There was no need to bring up this matter again, lest Shu Ye feel that he owed Ying'er a lot. He actually hoped that Shu Ye could live a good life.
"That's right. Maybe Ying'er will be able to see it soon."
Xu Zhiyan nodded slightly. Ying'er's ability seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, and she could see through many things, but in this case... With worry in his eyes, he asked hurriedly.
"But if this happens, won't Ying'er reveal too much and affect her lifespan?"
"Yes, I will remind her of this. No matter how great her abilities are, revealing the secrets of heaven is unacceptable."
Jiang Zhenggan poured a cup of tea for Xu Zhiyan, but they both drank it absentmindedly.
Then.
Jiang Zhenggan also told him his plan.
Xu Zhiyan didn't say anything for a long time after listening to this. He was shocked but also felt it was normal, because loving someone means you will give everything for her, even your own life. He deeply agrees with this.
If Ying'er needed it, he would do anything for her without hesitation.
His adoptive father was affectionate, Tianyin was also affectionate, so why not him!
"From now on, you, Ayu, and Tianyin must take good care of the Jiang Mansion. If I die, that's fine. If I go to that world smoothly, I will definitely not come back."
"I know, godfather."
Xu Zhiyan nodded.
Jiang Zhenggan opened the drawer, took out an exquisite little box and handed it to him.
"This contains my instructions. You can open it and read it after I leave. There is only one thing you should do: kill the thieves in Rong Mansion without mercy."
"yes."
Xu Zhiyan took the box that seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and his hands began to tremble slightly as he held it tightly.
"Godfather, have you really made up your mind?"
Whether it is from another world or not, it is uncertain, and no one has ever succeeded. There is a great possibility that you will really die in that anomaly.
"Well, I can't express how guilty I am towards Linghui."
then.
He... although he took Linghui away with a knife, and also cut off a finger of Madam Rong after Linghui's death, the matter was complicated, and under the ethics and morals of the time, he was ultimately unable to kill Madam Rong with a single knife.
After the Wen family was murdered, Liu Xiang's power skyrocketed. In order to protect Zhiyu and Zhaoying as they grew up, he chose to step aside and endure everything.
This matter has been like a thorn in his heart, causing him unbearable pain every day.
He thought.
He must explain everything to Linghui in person and ask for her forgiveness. He also wants to ask Linghui if she is still willing to be with him?
"Godfather, I will come to help you when the time comes."
One more person always means more strength, or he can lead the entire Imperial Observatory to mobilize the power of heaven and earth to help his adoptive father leave.
Seeing that he was about to refuse, Xu Zhiyan hurriedly spoke again.
"If we can get those close friends to participate in this matter, it will be a big challenge for us, and it will also increase our chances of success."
If the Imperial Observatory could really communicate with the heaven and earth and trade with time and space, it would be an incredible achievement for them, and it would be worth it even if it cost them their lives.
Jiang Jianzheng was stunned. He had indeed cultivated his own strength over the years. Almost everyone in the Imperial Observatory was loyal to him, and a small number of them were willing to die for him.
"Okay."
Jiang Zhenggan patted Xu Zhiyan on the shoulder.
"Come here, I'll tell you the details."
then.
Jiang Zhenggan took Xu Zhiyan into the inner room and taught him all the research results in the room.
And in the study.
A Yu took out an ancient book, opened one of the pages and placed it in front of Jiang Zhaoying.
"I thought the emperor had forgotten me a long time ago, but I didn't expect him to summon me last night."
Jiang Zhaoying's heart sank slightly. The emperor summoned A Yu, and he must have asked him whether the recent memorial from the Imperial Observatory was true. He would also ask for his opinion on going to Langzhou.
"Everything is in our plan. However, I have calculated that your trip to Langzhou is extremely dangerous. You must be careful. Or... I will go with you, Ying'er. Restoring the dragon veins is the responsibility of our Imperial Observatory. I will go with you."
Jiang Zhaoying drooped her eyelashes and looked at the tea leaves floating in the cup. After a while, she nodded gently.
"good."
Seeing her nod, A Yu's handsome face was covered with a layer of coldness again.
"You should be able to guess that when the emperor summons me, he will definitely use an official to lure me to monitor you."
The emperor asked him to monitor the prince and Jiang Zhaoying to prevent them from tampering with the dragon vein. At the same time, he promised to promote A Yu in the future to make him loyal.
"It's alright, big brother. Just report the truth. We are here to repair the dragon vein. If we don't deal with it, Daye will be in danger of being overthrown."
A Yu nodded. He told the emperor the facts and analyzed the pros and cons. That was why the emperor immediately ordered the prince and Jiang Zhaoying to go to Langzhou with the Dragon Guards.
"The date is tomorrow, so the oral instructions will arrive soon."
Just saying.
There was some movement in the palace. Eunuch Chen came in person to convey the emperor's oral order, asking her and A Yu to accompany the Crown Prince to Langzhou tomorrow to check it out.
Only a few of them knew about repairing the dragon vein. They told the public that they had to go and check it out because after the flood in Langzhou last year, the reconstruction progress was slow and the people's livelihood was in jeopardy.
After the discussion, A Yu went out of the house to make preparations.
At night.
Shu Yun, Shu Yu and others were writing down what to bring, and soon made a long list. Jiang Zhaoying said with a trace of helplessness in her eyes.
"You don't need to bring so much. There are shops along the way. You can just go there and get what you need."
"You still have to bring some with you. If the store is far away, it will be inconvenient to carry it. Besides, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Master Ayu also brought some with them."
"It's up to you, but let one or two carriages go first and we'll follow behind. Too many will attract attention."
Seeing that they insisted, Jiang Zhaoying leaned back holding Abao, stroking its head gently, Jiang Zhaoying said.
"Have fun at home, but don't eat too much and don't get too fat."
Po cried out as if he understood, jumped off the ground and started playing with his ball of wool in the room.
The next day was just dawn.
Jiang Zhaoying met up with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Cui Hexun, Luo Wuheng, A Yu and several disciples of the Imperial Observatory at the city gate. When Cui Hexun saw her, he stepped forward and saluted.
"There are fifty Dragon Guards and Royal Guards in total. They have already set out in advance."
Those who followed were all the emperor's men, and the emperor was keeping a close watch on them.
Jiang Zhaoying looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince nodded. Jiang Zhaoying then breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the people from the Crown Prince's Mansion had also set off early.
She also had three carriages leave ahead of time, leaving marks along the way and also having flares, so they should be able to contact at any time.
"Walk."
Then.
Some people got on carriages, some rode horses, and they marched towards the outside of the capital.
We worked hard for the first two days, eating and sleeping on the road. It was not until the second night that we chose a bustling town and booked an inn to rest.
If they don't rest, the horses also need rest and supplies.
After paying enough money, the waiter went about his business with a smile on his face, and soon brought hot water and hot meals to the private room.
Everyone got ready as quickly as possible. Just after midnight, the prince quietly came to Jiang Zhaoying's private room.
"What's wrong?"
"The horses are dead, and a lot of men in black have sneaked in. Let's leave quickly."
As he said that, two secret guards immediately stepped forward and helped Jiang Zhaoying up.
"Give them your clothes and belongings, and you and Shuyun can change into eunuch uniforms and leave."
Shu Yun suddenly became nervous. She quickly took the clothes and helped Jiang Zhaoying change into them. Then she helped the secret guard to fix the clothes and hair accessories. In less than half an hour, they secretly opened the window and slowly left the inn through a secret location.
As soon as they entered the second batch of carriages that had been prepared long ago, they saw that the inn was on fire. There was chaos inside, and people kept running out howling.
Jiang Zhaoying clutched the curtain tightly and watched the scene coldly, a feeling of helplessness and pain lingering in her heart.
Some of them are not innocent, but some innocent people died because of them.
well.
"They died for Shuyun and me."
nature.
There were other secret guards who died for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
The prince saw the redness in her eyes and knew that she couldn't bear it, so he held her hand tightly and said in a deep voice.
"I must do this."
The secret guards live and die for their masters throughout their lives, and death is something they can face calmly.
He found out the birth dates of each secret guard, gave them names, and prepared graves for them so that they would know their final resting place.
Jiang Zhaoying's eyelashes trembled slightly. She knew that what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said made sense, but she still felt a little pain in her heart. She turned her head and choked with sobs.
"Collect their bodies and send them all back to the capital. They will surely be rich and live long in their next life."
"I will make all the arrangements, don't worry."
Listen to her.
Shen Liuguang responded softly.
He felt... that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was destined to like Jiang Zhaoying. They were the same kind of people, equally cold and gentle deep down.
If they join forces, perhaps Daye will experience unprecedented prosperity!
Jiang Zhaoying took out a few pieces of talisman paper from her arms. After burning them, a golden light flashed in her beautiful eyes. Then, she saw several dark shadows slowly walking out of the fire.
She took out a few other talismans and said to them.
"Come here, I'll take you home."
The black shadows all looked up at Jiang Zhaoying, and flew obediently into the talisman paper in her palm. The red light of the talisman paper flowed for a moment and then returned to calm.
Jiang Zhaoying put the talisman away and gave it to Shu Yun.
"Put it away first."
"yes."
Shu Yun put away the things with a look of fear and distress on his face. Jiang Zhaoying breathed a sigh of relief when she saw most of the people running out.
Ignoring innocent lives and just wanting to burn them to death is too despicable.
"Someone's going to clean up the mess. Let's go first."
The prince gently embraced Jiang Zhaoying, and then everyone disappeared into the alley and left quietly under the cover of night.
"Is it King Yueming?"
Finished asking.
Jiang Zhaoying suddenly had a creepy feeling. The prince looked at her expression and knew that she must have guessed the plan. Jiang Zhaoying continued.
"I think... he should have a fortune teller by his side, and his skills are not bad. We did plan for him to let the evil spirit enter the city, but he may have made the best of it."
No one is capable of such a thing, and with King Yueming's personality, he would not dare to take the risk. He first arranged for assassins to kill the emperor, and then he sacrificed himself to save his father so that the emperor would not attack him.
and.
The fortune teller must have calculated that Jiang Zhaoying wanted to repair the dragon vein, so he arranged assassins to kill them on the way.
"Why are you sure that the fortune teller is not bad?"
Luo Wuheng's expression suddenly became nervous. If one were to name the most powerful fortune teller in the world, shouldn't it be Jiang Zhaoying?
"If that person's ability was average, they should wait until I finished repairing the dragon vein before taking action, so that they can take credit. Now they are impatient to take action. There are two possibilities. One is that they are sure they can repair the dragon vein, and the other is that they want to destroy it."
"But what good will it do him to destroy the dragon vein?"
Cui Hexun frowned. Isn’t this guy sick? As the son of dragon, you want to destroy the dragon vein?
"To make the emperor die sooner."
As soon as Jiang Zhaoying said this, the faces of the people on the opposite side all changed.
"For King Yu Yueming, the Emperor and the Crown Prince are both obstacles to him. If he can't get them, he will destroy them. It is a desperate way to survive at the risk of his life. The dragon energy is weak, and the fortune teller can lead the dragon energy from the Emperor and the Crown Prince to King Yu Ming. When the time comes, with the blessing of the dragon energy, his chances of winning will be greater."
"Whether he wants to repair the dragon vein himself or destroy it, they must go to Langzhou. Let's disguise ourselves and go to Langzhou first."
"Right now, they are in the light and we are in the dark, which may not be a bad thing."
After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince finished speaking in a deep voice, Shen Liuguang got out of the carriage and arranged for Cheng Ting'an to look at the map again. After choosing a slightly complicated but safe route, everyone continued on their journey together...
