[Wei Nie] Vertical and horizontal killing

The emperor's chariot insisted on detouring Linzi and heading north to Jiuyuan.

The prime minister of the empire is still on the saddle, trying his best to arrange the tour route for the emperor, and he and the emperor are in harmony with the whole thing of the empire, just like in the past.

But someone vaguely understood that he had missed the last chance to have a heart-to-heart with the emperor.

The itinerary to go north to Jiuyuan became more and more urgent. The emperor's illness came and went, with intermittent high fever. Later, even reading memorials during the day began to become blurred.

But on the fifth day, the emperor's eyes were bloodshot, and his personality began to be violent and gloomy.

When Li Si walked to the shaft of the car, he saw the disheveled imperial doctor being dragged away by the emperor's personal guards on the left and right. He staggered and wailed loudly: "Your Majesty—Your Majesty, stop taking the demon pill—"

Li Si and Hu Wujing looked at each other, then Zhao Gao, who bowed to the carriage frame and bowed to the two, asked in a low voice what crime the imperial physician committed.

Zhao Gao shook his head and said in a low voice: "My lords, don't worry. The imperial doctor was probably confused. He just said some unlucky words in front of the emperor, which upset His Majesty. You two lords will receive an order later, so be careful. .” At the end, his tone was extremely slow and slightly raised, sounding like advice.

But for some reason, Li Si frowned when he spoke, and always felt that Zhao Gao's words carried a hint of threat.

Hu Wujing was worried about the emperor, so he said to Li Si: "Prime Minister, please."

As soon as the words fell, I heard a loud shout from inside the carriage: "Zhao Gao, Zhao Gao! Where is the widow's elixir—"

Zhao Gao didn't have time to salute the two, so he got into the carriage like a horse.

When Li Si and Hu Wujing entered, Zhao Gao was serving the emperor to swallow a jug of warm wine, and the smell of elixir was lingering in the car.

Li Si didn't even dare to raise his head, and stuck to the ground.

After a while, the shortness of breath slowly subsided.

Everything just now was like an illusion, the emperor never lost his composure, he was still reclined on the soft bed of the carriage, with piles of bamboo slips in his hand, he could see through everyone’s minds through the heads of the crowd, or, he hoped to let everyone Everyone knows that he is still in control of the world: "Zhao Gao, has the carriage reached Pingyuanjin?"

Zhao Gao was respectful as always: "Your Majesty is wise, you will be able to arrive at Pingyuanjin Post Station this evening."

After passing Pingyuanjin, you can reach Jiuyuan.

Li Si bit the bullet and said, "Your Majesty, the Yellow River is now in flood season."

The emperor interrupted him and said, "No need to wait, no need to camp, just cross the Yellow River."

In a word, those who are familiar with the emperor's character are silent, they all feel the emperor's anxiety, as if all the purpose is to go to Jiuyuan.

Unable to convince the emperor, Li Si and Hu Wujing had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, and began dispatching the river crossing.

In the evening, Li Si hadn't had his dinner yet, and he had no appetite, so he waited in the temporary tent for the return of his retainers who had scouted for him.

But at this moment, a slightly lowered voice came from outside the tent: "Prime Minister, but I have doubts, just ask Mr. Zhao to get better, why send a fool out, almost making His Majesty think that you are looking for his whereabouts."

Li Si was taken aback, and sweat broke out in an instant.

He suddenly remembered that because someone had tipped him off, the emperor killed all the palace servants who were close to him, but didn't say a word to him.

He sat down slumped, almost falling.

Zhao Gao stood three steps away from him, and smiled slightly: "Prime Minister doesn't have to be like this, since the subordinate is standing here, the matter has been settled."

Li Si's voice was dry: "Master Zhao, I don't want to—" He was halfway through speaking, but he didn't know how to continue.

The corners of Zhao Gao's mouth curled up, and his eyes rolled slightly: "Of course someone like Zhao can trust the prime minister, but, I wonder if everyone in the world can trust the prime minister?" At the end, his tone suddenly gained strength, revealing a little unusual information.

The growing estrangement from the emperor made Li Si's mind confused, and he couldn't help but follow Zhao Gao's words: "What does Mr. Zhao mean?"

Zhao Gao: "Master Prime Minister, are you curious why the emperor's attitude towards you is so different from the past?"

Li Si hurriedly shouted: "Absurd, Si never dares to forget the emperor's kindness to Si."

Zhao Gao ignored his bravado, and smiled slightly: "Because General Wang Ben of the Empire reminded His Majesty before leaving that the emptiness of the old Qin people in Guanzhong was caused by the prime minister's negligence."

Li Siru was struck by lightning and opened his mouth to refute, but he could no longer speak.

Zhao Gao retreated to the tent door: "Since the prime minister can understand people's hearts, he knows that what Zhao Gao said is true. The prime minister worked hard for the empire, but he offended two powerful generals of the empire for your majesty, and even made the eldest son and the prime minister alienated— —" He turned around and sighed slowly before leaving: "Gao, it's just not worth it for the prime minister."

Li Si sat quietly from dusk until dark.

His palms were wet and dry.

It turned out to be the case.

It turned out that it really was the case.

And in the land of Yishang and Xiapi, on an ordinary dilapidated wooden bridge, a very old man stood side by side with a purple-shirted scholar.

"The pattern of the dragon being trapped in the wild has been determined." The old man has yellow hair and eyebrows, covering his eyes, and he can't tell how many years he has lived.He paused the crutch in his hand, and sighed: "When yang comes, it becomes yin, when yin comes, it becomes yang. Life is death, death is life, irreversible, life is life."

The Zishan scholar looked down at him, and said in a clear voice, "Gong Nan, harmony is not like what you can say."

The old man laughed: "I don't even want the old man Taigong Art of War, there is nothing else to worry about. When you live to my age, you will understand that being persistent in restoring the country is just a blind eye."

The young man in Zishan murmured: "Is it really a blind eye?"

The old man turned around and walked down the bridge with a limp and a cane: "Is the restoration of the country a country of one person, or a country of the world? When you figure this out first, you will really know that you should go. way."

The young man in purple shirt watched the old man go away, then looked at the star map hanging upside down in the sky, and muttered to himself: "The trap of the dragon, this is the conspiracy of the Yin Yang family."

"A place where dragons are trapped?" Wei Zhuang repeated playfully.

Sitting under the tree, Gai Nie put the wiped Yuanhong back into its sheath again: "Yes, in the past, when King Wu defeated Zhou, he was outnumbered. Jiang Ziya used the world as a game of chess since King Wen was trapped in Qishan to do the Book of Changes. Set up a trap to trap the dragon."

Standing under the peach tree, Wei Zhuang raised his head slightly, the shadows from the gaps in the leaves fell down, and the flowers and leaves drooped slightly.

Chi Lian stood in the distance watching this scene, and lightly clasped the Chi Lian sword with his fingers, but did not move.

The temples warmed up, and the wind passed by.

When he looked again, Baifeng was standing on the branch beside him, playing with a peach blossom between his fingers: "It seems that this peach forest reminds you of something? I guess it has something to do with this flower."

Chi Lian pulled himself out of the viscous memory, stretched out the Chi Lian sword in his hand, got out of the ground in an instant, and went straight to the man on the tree.

Bai Feng grinned, turned over in the air, and floated past the woman like a feather.

As soon as her ears warmed up, a pink flower with dewy pistils bloomed between her temples.

Chi Lian was taken aback, but he didn't take the flower down.

Bai Feng clicked his tongue: "It's more suitable for girls."

……

Wei Zhuang looked at the sky: "According to Jiang Ziya's style, there may not be only one place where dragons are trapped."

Gai Nie: "Indeed, the seven constellations of Canglong, the seven constellations in the sky, correspond to the seven directions on the earth. King Wen of Zhou was imprisoned for exactly seven years. After flattering Chonghou Hu Feizhong and others, he finally returned to Xiqi."

Wei Zhuang went on to say: "Perhaps King Wen and Jiang Ziya acted together in a play, and by being imprisoned to reassure King Zhou, Jiang Ziya set up a trap of seven dragons?"

Gai Nie raised his head, his eyes were still blindfolded, but he could feel the long-lost warmth: "It is impossible to verify the truth, but it is true that there are only seven countries and seven monarchs left in the chaotic war. .”

Wei Zhuang: "So you think this is a place where dragons are trapped."

Gai Nie did not answer this question right away. He changed his mind and said, "It has been 800 years since King Wen was imprisoned in Yili. The heaven, earth, mountains and rivers have changed, and the pattern of many mountains in those years has changed. The place where the dragon is trapped is just a guess. That's all."

Wei Zhuang pondered: "The trapped dragon must be above the king. To know whether the land of the trapped dragon is a rumor, you only need to read the history books of the Seven Kingdoms."

Gai Nie lowered his head and said for a moment, "The Dune Palace."

Wei Zhuang raised his eyebrows: "The sand dunes garden platform uses wine as a pool, county meat as a forest, and feasts all night long. The world is tired and angry and cuts down on it. The country of life and death is destroyed. The decline of the country and mountains began here in 800 years, and Shang Zhou can be regarded as a dragon. .”

Gai Nie: "80 years ago, the Dune Palace changed, and Prince Zhao Wuling was trapped in the Dune Palace for three months. He could only attack with birds and beasts, and was finally starved to death by the young master."

The corner of Wei Zhuang's mouth curled up into an arc: "The father exiled the son, and the son starved to death. It is interesting whether it is human desire/desire or the situation of heaven and earth that determines their life and death."

Gai Nie stood up, took a step forward, and stood shoulder to shoulder with Wei Zhuang.

"The only thing that can trap oneself is the human heart."

Wei Zhuang smiled lightly and said in a low tone, "Although I don't agree with you, this is indeed like what you said."

Gai Nie turned his head, the wind blew through his hair, and the sun's mottled traces danced on the ends of his hair: "In the past, Jiang Ziya made the game of trapping the dragon, one was to trap the 600-year national fortune of the Shang Dynasty, and the other was to trap The king of Shang who may have escaped from Chaoge."

Wei Zhuang picked up the shark tooth.

Gai Nie heard his footsteps following him: "If the Qimen Dunjia is laid out, there must be mechanism skills."

Wei Zhuang: "As long as there are mechanism skills, there must be traces."

Ge Nie: "Let's go."

In the direction of the Mo family, Tianming worriedly looked at the back of the man who abandoned him again: "Where are uncle and that big villain going?"

Master Xu stood behind him and stroked his beard: "It must be for the weird Taolin."

Tianming said worriedly: "Uncle still can't see, running around again and again, and—" He wanted to say that Uncle couldn't see, it would be dangerous, but he didn't know how to get the words out of his mouth.

Master Xu and Master Ban looked at each other, and said slowly: "Don't forget, the owner of Quicksand is also a disciple of Guigu."

"As long as his eyes can see."

"Vertical and horizontal, it is still vertical and horizontal."

The author has something to say: Wang Ben is an upright person, better than his son. Before he died, he seemed to have mentioned to the emperor that Li Si was good at agreeing with him. The fault of flattering.

In addition, the emperor hated other people's mention of life and death during the last journey of Pingyuanjin, which showed that he knew that his physical condition was already very bad and he was deceiving himself.

Foreshadowing up to now, everyone has basically understood why Li Si went from being loyal to Qin Shihuang all his life to appearing in a daze later on.

Damn I'm exhausted.

In the end, the Yin Yang family originated from the state of Chu, and the conspiracy lurking around the emperor...well, it came out.It was written in the Taiyin Sun Formation, and it was planned to reverse the fate of the empire and give Chu State control of the world again.As a result, when the big formation was in operation, it was broken by Tianming (and of course the uncle who was dragged into the water by Tianming), so the big formation was completed, and the luck of the empire was broken, but the one who survived was Chu State Woolen cloth?

The meaning of Nangong's words is: variables have already formed.It is impossible to predict whether the future direction will follow the original setting of the Yin Yang family.

Go and see.

Everyone knows who the Zishan man is.Xiao Liangzi, who is extremely clever and has received the true biography of Huang Shigong, is also.

The Dune Palace is a famous place where dragons are trapped. In addition to Zulong, three kings and two dynasties were all destroyed.
