Dafeng Night Watchman

Chapter 453 - 223 South Garden

Chapter 453: Chapter 223 South Garden

All the abnormalities of Emperor Yuan Jing are related to something that happened in the 26th year of Zhend's reign, and are related to the Taoist leader of Di Zong........

My guess is correct. The Taoist leader of Di Zong is the thread that connects all the clues. He is inseparable from what happened back then. In this case, it is already clear what to investigate next and where to investigate.

The next target of the investigation is the royal hunting ground - Nanyuan!

The young Prince Huai and the young Emperor Yuan Jing were attacked by wild beasts in Nanyuan. The guards were killed and injured. In the end, the Prince Huai tore the bear alive to solve the crisis.

This description has too many loopholes. There must be masters among the guards of the two princes, and there are many of them. What kind of bear can kill all the masters of the palace?

Black bear spirit?

I felt it was not reasonable at the time, but there was no clue to compare before and after. Just looking at this information, it can't explain too many problems.

After all, the daily records can be modified. It is not ruled out that the recorder or the previous emperor is building momentum for the King of Huai. The royal family has done too many things to usurp the throne and forcibly raise the image.

Xu Qiyan's thoughts flickered in his heart, but he gradually restrained his shock on the surface and became normal. He looked at Li Yuchun: "Boss, let's go. I have got the answer I want."

Li Yuchun nodded.

The old woman watched the two people step out of the courtyard gate, watched the figure disappear at the door, hugged her grandson tightly, and muttered: "When did these government lackeys find their conscience?"

She immediately looked at her daughter-in-law and saw that she was still staring at the courtyard gate. She was furious and yelled:

"Little hoof, you can't even close your legs when you see a handsome man. As long as I am still alive, don't think about remarrying, don't think about stealing a man, and stay a widow until I die."

......

After saying goodbye to Li Yuchun, Xu Qiyan rode on his beloved mare and quickly returned to the Xu Mansion. .

He ran back to the room and found the diary of the previous emperor left by Erlang on the bookshelf. The pages flipped and stopped at the 26th year of Jeanne d'Arc.

He couldn't understand the cursive writing, but he could still barely understand the date.

"I remember correctly, it was indeed the 26th year of Jeanne d'Arc. This year, Di Zong Daoshou entered the palace. This year, Pingyuan Bo officially sent people to the palace. This year, Prince Huai and Yuan Jing encountered bears in Nanyuan.......

"In addition, the diary of the previous emperor ended in the 30th year of Jeanne d'Arc, which means that? Four years later? The previous emperor died. Well, I haven't read history books? Ask the academic masters. "

Xu Qi'an sat down behind the desk and took out the fragment of the Earth Book. Just as he was about to send the book, his fingers suddenly stopped. He changed to private chat and connected the fragment of the Earth Book No. 1 with his mental power.

No. 1 ignored him and gave him a "slap".

Xu Qi'an persisted in initiating private chats. Seeing this, No. 1 did not refuse again. I accepted his letter: [What's the matter?]

[Three: When did the late emperor pass away?]

[One: The 30th year of Joan of Arc, why are you asking this?]

[Three: Of course it's related to the investigation. I have something else to ask. Tell me the specific situation of Nanyuan. The more detailed the better. Especially the situation in the 26th year of Joan of Arc. In addition, what was the physical condition of the late emperor when he was alive? Was there any hidden illness? What caused his death?]

[One: Nanyuan is the royal hunting ground, located in the suburbs of Nancheng, with a radius of 260 miles. Nanyuan has four palaces, named after the four gates in the southeast, northwest and northeast. Nanyuan is a forbidden garden. There are almost no people living in the garden, no farming, and only sea households are responsible for management.]

Sea households? Hey, professional fish farming, then I, the sea king, am also a sea household...Xu Qian'an He said, and sent a letter:

[Three: What is a sea household? ]

[One: The palace cannot accommodate eunuchs. ]

Xu Qian'an squeezed his legs together: "......"

[One: As for the situation in the 26th year of Jeanne d'Arc, I don't know, at least I can't answer you now. ]

After a few seconds of pause, No. 1 sent a letter: [The emperor's health was already very bad a year before he passed away, and he died a year later. As for the hidden illness, I need to check the files before I can answer you. ]

[Three: This matter is left to you, I hope you can give me an answer as soon as possible. I have found some clues here, but I can't be completely sure yet, I have to wait for your feedback. ]

With Huaiqing's strong curiosity, she will definitely do her best to complete the task, and then get the progress of the case from herself.

This is the advantage of Huaiqing. If it were Bian Bian, he would forget everything after reading the storybook.

.......

Of the three kingdoms in the northeast, Jingguo is in the far north, adjacent to the territory of the northern demon tribe. Yanguo is in the central position, facing the three states of Dafeng. Kangguo is in the south, a country adjacent to the sea.

Each of the three kingdoms has its own characteristics. Jingguo's cavalry is unparalleled in bravery. After the Battle of Shanhaiguan, the northern barbarians fell from the throne of the first cavalry in Kyushu, and Jingguo took the opportunity to become the highest.

The territory of Yanguo is full of dangerous peaks and ridges. Most of the important cities are built in places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Relying on the advantages of the terrain, they are as stable as Mount Tai.

In addition, the residents of Yanguo make a living by hunting and are good at shooting.

In addition to occupying the advantages of the terrain, Yanguo also has an ace army, which is the flying beast Army.

"Jiuzhou Geography·Eastern Classic": Dongtong Mountain has many blue jades. There is a tree there, which looks like a poplar but has red veins, and its juice is like blood. It is called Qi. The dog eats it.

The dog is a strange beast with a wingspan of three meters, a dog head and a rat tail, and can fly five hundred miles a day.

Dongtong Mountain is in the middle of Yan State. Like the feather spider of the Jinmu Department, Yan State has an air control army.

The disadvantage is that the number of the dog army is even rarer than the fire armor army, and it is generally used as a killer.

The border of Yan State, Dingguan City.

As a large city on the border, Dingguan City has sufficient troops, supplies, and armaments, which is more than enough to defend against the attack of the Dafeng army. If the Wushen Cult wants to stop the army from attacking the Central Plains, Dingguan City can quickly attack because it is ready to fight at any time.

Two days ago, Dingguan City entered the highest alert state, prohibiting merchants from the two countries from entering and leaving, prohibiting civilians from entering and leaving, the army in the city patrolled all night, and the scouts outside the city kept sending back secret messages.

The Dafeng army is here!

The northeastern border has been stable for so many years, and the war is finally about to restart.

Tuwohei, wearing bright armor and a curved knife on his waist, climbed to the top of Dingguan City, surrounded by his deputy generals and other subordinates, and climbed to the top of Dingguan City, far away in the plain.

He is the commander of the troops in Dingguan City and the highest leader of the military.

The morning sun rises, it is autumn, and the green hills have a touch of dull yellow.

"It is said that Wei Yuan is the military god of Dafeng. I have always wanted to know whether Wei Yuan can take over the impregnable Dingguan City of my Yan State." Tuwohei said lightly.

He is a young and strong faction in the Yan State army. During the Battle of Shanhaiguan, he was only a low-level officer responsible for guarding the country.

Wei Yuan has been famous for a long time.

"There should be no one who can beat Wei Yuan in strategizing on the battlefield. Even Xiahou Yushu, in my opinion, is far inferior to Wei Yuan." The deputy general with a full beard sighed, and then sneered:

"But fighting between two armies and attacking and defending a city are not the same thing. General, if you can make Wei Yuan fail in Dingguan City, you will become a hot figure in Jiuzhou."

Wars have been difficult since ancient times, and attacking a city is the most difficult, often requiring ten times or even more than ten times the number of troops. If you encounter some cities with geographical advantages...... even the most powerful generals will have a headache and be discouraged.

If you insist on biting, it may even reverse the outcome of a war.

There are many similar examples in history.

Tuwohei laughed and said slowly: "Don't be careless."

He was burning with passion. He had no confidence in defeating Wei Yuan in a fight between two armies. Defending a city was exactly his strong point. Otherwise, he would not have been relied on by Yan Jun and become the commander of the border troops.

Dingguan City is adjacent to a surging river on the left and a steep mountain on the right, making it as solid as a rock. In order to enhance the geographical advantage, Tuwohei sent people into the mountains to chisel stones, which took two years. Except for the main road for marching, the walls on both sides are full of jagged rocks.

Siege vehicles and ladders should not approach, and if they are hard to clean, they will be live targets.

"Ah......"

A deep roar came from the sky in the distance, and the generals and soldiers on the top of the city immediately recognized that it was the barking of a dog.

Following the sound, a black shadow flew from a distance, gradually becoming clearer, and it was a dog waiter.

The flying beast with a dog head and a rat tail landed on the spacious horse road, folded its wings, and its scarlet fierce eyes froze, looking forward, just like a human soldier standing guard.

The dog was wrapped in a sturdy leather harness, connected to the scout on its back. The scout untied the "safety belt" on his thighs and waist, jumped off the bird's back, hurried to Tuohei, and said with a fist:

"General, the Dafeng army is only twenty miles away from Dingguan City."

The faces of the people on the top of the city suddenly became solemn.

Tuohei pondered for a moment and said: "Pass my handwriting: I am Tuohei, the defender of Dingguan City. I have heard of your great name for a long time, but in my eyes, you are just a eunuch who deceives the world and steals the reputation..."

The staff quickly spread out the paper, pen and ink, and wrote furiously.

Tuohei's handwriting did not contain any other content. The whole article was insulting Wei Yuan, saying that he was lucky to win the Shanhaiguan battle, that he deceived the world and stole the reputation, and that he was a eunuch who had no family, and even insulted his ancestors.

He cursed as badly as he could, and wrote as viciously as he could.

Finally, he proposed to compete with Wei Yuan and make the military god of Dafeng fall. Translated into vernacular, it means: If you have the guts, come up.

After the staff finished writing, he blew the ink dry and said with a smile: "General, is this plan to anger Wei Yuan?"

Tuwohei nodded: "It's just one of the purposes."

The staff asked humbly: "Are there any other purposes?"

Tuwohei sneered arrogantly: "I just want to humiliate this eunuch."

There was laughter on the top of the city, and the serious atmosphere faded a lot.

Tuwohei said again: "With Wei Yuan's level, I'm afraid it's not so easy to anger him, so we will scold him every quarter of an hour. Everyone scolds together, and there are more people and more words."

The deputy general laughed: "It's a pleasure to humiliate the military god of Dafeng."

The laughter on the top of the city became louder.

......

Beijing.

In the East Palace, Lin'an was playing Go with her brother, the prince. The prince was a little impatient, but he endured his temper to accompany her. For a beautiful sister who loves to act like a spoiled child, there is almost no brother who will not dote on her.

"No more playing, no more playing..."

Lin'an threw away the chess piece in anger, puffed up his cheeks and complained: "I am absent-minded, the prince brother doesn't want to accompany me at all."

Is it because the story book is not interesting anymore, or the shuttlecock is not fun anymore, or Huaiqing is not annoying enough recently? The prince muttered in his heart and said helplessly:

"Lin'an, I am busy with affairs, how can I play such boring tricks with you."

Lin'an frowned: "What's the point of asking servants to play with me, I want to play with the prince brother."

How can the company of relatives be compared with the company of palace maids and eunuchs?

When Lin'an was a child, she was the prince's follower, wearing a small skirt and short. Wherever the prince ran, she followed. When she grew up a little, she was instigated by Concubine Chen to make trouble for Huaiqing.

At this time, the eunuch came to the door in small steps and whispered: "Your Highness, Princess Huaiqing is here."

The brother and sister looked at each other, and the prince muttered: "Why is she in the East Palace?"

Immediately let the prince lead Huaiqing in. After a while, Huaiqing, who was wearing plain palace clothes, had beautiful features and was as beautiful as a painting, stepped over the threshold, bowed to the prince, and then glanced at Lin'an.

"Huaiqing, what do you want to see me for?"

The prince asked in a lukewarm tone.

Huaiqing smiled lightly: "I heard that the prince has Yan Huasheng's "Autumn Hunting Picture". The autumn hunting is coming soon, and I suddenly feel like taking it back to copy."

The prince hesitated and said: "I will send someone to deliver it to you later."

Although everyone's mothers are fighting fiercely in the harem, the plastic brother-sister relationship still needs to be maintained.

It's autumn hunting......Bianbian's eyes lit up, and she said happily: "Brother Crown Prince, let's go hunting in Nanyuan."

The Crown Prince frowned and shook his head when he heard this, saying: "Why go to Nanyuan for no reason? The journey is long."

Bianbian kept twisting her waist and said coquettishly: "It's not far at all, not far at all, just go on horseback. Brother Crown Prince, take me with you."

The Crown Prince couldn't stand her tricks the most, but he also liked her tricks the most, just like Emperor Yuan Jing. He said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I'll make arrangements today and go early tomorrow morning."

He had something else on hand, so he took the opportunity to send Lin'an and Huaiqing away.

Autumn hunting is a grand event. Since Emperor Yuan Jing was obsessed with cultivation, autumn hunting was rarely held. In previous years, the princes and princesses would go to Nanyuan to hunt on their own, and they only needed to report.

For Lin'an, hunting is the happiest thing, which has nothing to do with whether she can shoot a bow.

Just like in Xu Qi'an's previous life, some girls were addicted to playing games, which had nothing to do with them being noobs.

After Lin'an returned home, a little maid immediately came forward to report, saying, "Your Highness, Princess Huaiqing came to see you just now."

Huaiqing came to see me? Then why didn't she say a word to me in the East Palace just now? Lin'an blinked his eyes and made a blank expression.

Oh, never mind, I'll read the storybook first, and go hunting in Nanyuan tomorrow......

......

Late at night.

In his sleep, Xu Qi'an felt that his brain was hit by someone. This was a feedback from the soul, not a real hit on the head.

There was only one person and one knife in the room who could hit his head. Zhong Li usually hit him gently with her legs and called him softly.

If it was the Taiping knife, it would be "dang dang dang" to poke him with the blade, not so gentle.

Feedback from the soul level, someone has sent me a private message... Xu Qian'an half-closed his eyes, reached out and pulled out the fragment of the Earth Book, and then he knew who had sent him a private message.

Number one, Huai Qing.

After accepting Huai Qing's private message request, he sent a message: [Why are you sending a message in the middle of the night? Don't you have a sex life? ]
