Millennium drunk

It was a letter that first mentioned Xia Ruoqing's whereabouts, and what made Xia Ruoqing involved in this strange city of Beiyan.

A letter written on incense paper.

Fragrant pulp paper was a very popular letter paper during that period in Kyushu, because the paper was not easy to break after its lingering fragrance, and it became the first choice for correspondence between nobles and scholars at that time.This kind of paper is not rare, and the content of the letter is not strange, but there are only a few sentences, and the tone should be a love poem written by a man traveling abroad to express his love for his wife at home.But such a love letter between husband and wife actually appeared in the bookstore center of Changsheng City, which suddenly became very intriguing.

Back then, He Lanfu seldom participated in conspiracies and tricks, and he knew very little about the tricks in the correspondence.But Xia Ruoqing was different, she was in the deep palace, and many news from outside the palace had to be entrained before being sent in.So when Mengzheng got the letter, she knew something was wrong, the content of the letter was not as simple as a love poem.

After everyone went to bed, Mengzheng struggled a lot, pouring water, roasting fire, and applying wax, before finally discovering that there was something else inside this piece of paper. Afterwards, the prostitute's daughter, who was sealed up again, seeks out the daughter of a high-ranking family.In other words, the fragrant paper on which the love poem is written is the real envelope, and the real content to be delivered is sealed inside.

Xia Ruoqing was mentioned in the mezzanine. At that time, Xia Ruoqing had been bestowed to death by Emperor Nanzhao. He Lanqi didn't know what was on his mind, but sent someone to Nantang to ask Emperor Nanzhao for Xia Ruoqing's body. Emperor Nanzhao always valued his face the most. The famous Nantang Emperor actually agreed to this.

Regarding Xia Ruoqing's death and He Lanqi's affairs with Emperor Nanzhao, they were all speculated from the letter, and no details were mentioned.In fact, the sender of this fragrant note was just an envoy sent by He Lanqi to Nantang to pick up Xia Ruoqing's body, but what He Lanqi did not expect was that the envoy he sent was not very loyal.To be more precise, the envoy is very loyal, but the object of loyalty is not the newly ascended Beiyan Great Treasure, His Majesty the Emperor.

After the envoy was ordered to arrive at the capital of Duling and saw Xia Ruoqing's body, he immediately changed his mind.The original words in the letter describe Xia Ruoqing's body as "the flesh is like jade, the cheeks are red and the shape is like a peach blossom". This is definitely not the appearance that a normal corpse should have. Lan Zui and Rong Shisan have never heard of this thing before, so they guess it may be a kind of medicine, but the last two sentences are clear. Obviously, the medicine that Xia Ruoqing took is very good. It's important, so good that even if she dies, the envoy will catch her at a glance, and intends to send her back to her real master to be a danding.

They didn't find the reply letter, but judging from the contents of the notebook that Bai Suhe got, the master of the envoy readily agreed immediately after receiving the letter.

After Bai Suhe finished the content of the letter, Lan Zui and Rong Shisan naturally turned their attention to one of the parties involved.

Mengzheng was scrutinized by four eyes, with an innocent expression: "At that time, Xia Ruoqing was dead, it really has nothing to do with me here, what do you think I am doing?"

"What the hell is Huo Huo? You tell us first, so we can be prepared." Lan Zui took a deep breath, anyway, it must not be a good thing to make this group of people fall in love with him!

"How do I know?" Mengzheng groaned twice, and confessed honestly, "Xia Ruoqing did take this medicine, and she asked the dead men of the Xia family to find it. But she took the medicine at that time only to raise Gu. really do not know."

"Nursing Gu? Do you want to take medicine?"

"..." Mengzheng took a peek at Bai Suhe, saw that Bai Suhe's face was normal, and then said in a low voice, "Gu is not something that can be raised just by raising it. Gu insects are poisonous insects, and they are raised in people's blood. If this person can't resist The toxicity of the Gu worm will cause poisoning and death; if the toxicity in the human blood exceeds the level that the Gu worm larva can bear, the Gu worm will die. When the Gu worm dies, it will spit out all the poison in the body, and the host will die together. Raising Gu is to find a balance between the two, which is why it is difficult to raise. Ordinary people who raise Gu will start to take small doses of poison when they are young, but Xia Ruoqing couldn't have time to slowly cultivate the body's resistance to poison in that situation. Can find folk remedies. Huolu is her way to find a quick fix."

"Oh." Lan Zui pinched the center of her brows, Huo Huan was related to Gu, and the word "Dan Ding" was mentioned in the letter, she always had a bad feeling.

"Sister Bai, are you sure that Xia Ruoqing's body was sent to Longevity City? He Lanqi will not pursue it?" Judging from the unhesitating tone of the letter, it is almost certain, but Rong Shisan is still a little puzzled. Want to make sure.

We must know that the imperial power in ancient times was greater than the sky. No matter what the reason for the new emperor of Beiyan wanted Xia Ruoqing's body, he arranged for someone to pick him up from thousands of miles away.The Xia family and the He Lan family are old friends. Xia Ruoqing was acquainted with He Lanqi before entering the palace. This emissary sent Xia Ruoqing's body to Changsheng City in such a bold manner. Lan Qi acting like a fool?

"I'm afraid he doesn't have the time, and he doesn't have the mood to pursue it."

Lan Zui and Rong Shisan were puzzled at first when they heard these words, but then they realized at the same time, and said in unison: "The chaos in Tianjin and Huaihe River?"

The Jinhuai Rebellion was a very famous war in the Kyushu period, and it was officially set off as the prelude to the struggle for hegemony among the countries of Kyushu.The cause of this war originated from the Heisha Army stationed on the side of the Huai River in Nantang. The Heisha Army was originally the elite of Nantang, and the commander was the confidant of Emperor Nanzhao. But for some reason, the deputy commander of the Heisha Army suddenly In one night, he beheaded the commander in chief, and at the same time opened the army's Sesai gate, and brought his soldiers into the Zuo Huai River to give birth to a nine-year-old prostitute.The Huaijiang River fell, and the Heisha army rebelled. The left gate of Nantang suddenly opened, and the Zuohuai army drove straight in.The change came so suddenly that Emperor Nanzhao had no choice but to mobilize troops from elsewhere to meet the enemy in a hurry.Originally, Nantang was located in a fertile land, and the surrounding countries were all staring at each other, and there were many civil strife in the country. If one place was broken, it would be broken everywhere. How could the surrounding countries miss such a good opportunity, and the wolves shared the food all at once, You fight over me, and the flames of war are everywhere.

Indeed, if the Tianjin-Huaihuai Rebellion happened at that time, and He Lanqi's mind was focused on the battle, then Xia Ruoqing was the most insignificant matter to He Lanqi, and He Lanqi might not remember it at all .

"That's right, the Jinhuai Rebellion was one of them, and the second was that the leader of the Saha Sect at that time, that is, the city lord of the City of Longevity, had already broken up with He Lanqi secretly, so he didn't care too much about how to explain to He Lanqi .In fact, it is also He Lanqi's masterpiece that the Changsheng City has become what it is now."

The more Bai Suhe talked, the more confused Lan Zui became.Didn't this city become like this when it was besieged by Beidi?If I remember correctly, there has been constant friction on the border between Beidi and Beiyan, and both sides belong to the type that water can make fire.Beidi attacked the border town belonging to Beiyan for Emperor Beiyan, which sounds too nonsense.

"Anyway, you didn't find the map, so you look for it, and I'll tell you the complete story of the Changsheng City."

Ever since its establishment, the City of Longevity has existed as the foundation of the Saha religion.Before He Lanqi, the Saha Sect had a very high prestige in Beiyan, so the Changsheng City was also called the Holy City in Beiyan.

There are four people in charge of the holy city, collectively referred to as the four priests, and the head of the four priests is not only the leader of the Saha religion, but also the lord of the holy city.The owner of the silk book in Bai Suhe's hand is the third of the four priests, who is in charge of city affairs, and his name is Soboluo.

Back then, He Lanqi sneaked back to Beiyan secretly, and united with other ministries of Beiyan to kill King Huai and win the throne.The current leader of the Saha Sect, Badka, also tried to get close to He Lanqi after being shocked, and wanted to control the new king of Beiyan like King Huai in the same way to maintain his position.But after getting in touch with him for a period of time, Badka discovered that although He Lanqi was pretending to be a snake with him on the surface, he was very repulsive of the Saha religion in private, and he had a firm temperament, was difficult to bewitch, and had a strong desire to control.At this time, Badka knew that once He Lanqi's throne was stabilized, he would not be able to tolerate the Saha Sect, who had already participated in politics, and he would be the first to suffer.Therefore, Badka kept on doing nothing, and immediately prepared to play a Gu to take He Lanqi's life, and replace him with an obedient puppet.Unexpectedly, He Lanqi had been on guard for a long time, but Badka did not succeed.

All these affairs are carried out in secret, and the biggest advantage of Gu is that he can't speak and confess, so He Lanqi can't catch Badka's regicide.Badka immediately retreated to Changsheng City on the grounds that the holy city had to deal with important matters. The Saha Sect was still powerful at that time, and He Lanqi had no reason to force Badka to stay in the capital, so he had to let him go.

It was only when Lan Zui and Rong Shisan heard this that He Lanqi and Badka seemed to be on good terms in this situation. No wonder the messenger dared to transfer Xia Ruoqing's body back to the City of Longevity.

"This City of Longevity was built on the order of one of the leaders of the Saha Sect. The leader was extremely far-sighted, knowing that everything will flourish and decline, and the moon will never be full, so he began to plan a way out for the Saha Sect at that time. At the very beginning Longevity City built a city on the ground just because of Kemutuo, but since that leader, he began to dig underground to lay mechanisms to rebuild the new Longevity City. The Saha Sect has a high status in Beiyan, and the royal family of Beiyan He also yearned for longevity with all his heart, and spent a lot of gold and silver to enshrine the masters of the teaching. Human and financial resources are not a problem for the Saha Sect, so this underground city of longevity was naturally completed in decades."

"After the completion of the new Longevity City, it was stipulated that non-saha teachers were not allowed to enter. The various institutions in the city were only known to the four priests, and even the Beiyan royal family was excluded. Badka relied on the location of the Longevity City. It is remote, and the interior is strong and difficult to attack, so He Lanqi doesn't pay much attention to it, he just buys enough food and stores it in the city for emergencies."

"After the Jinhuai Rebellion, He Lanqi indeed led his elite to cross the Yin Mountain to Nantang. Badka was ambitious and thought it was an excellent opportunity. He returned his carbine and took back the capital city of Northern Yan and proclaimed himself emperor. Unexpectedly, he had just gathered his troops and before he set off, he received a message from a spy. The news said that Bei Diben also wanted to go to Nantang to take a share. The king of Beidi said that Daobeidi is weak and lacks food and grass, so it is not suitable for long-distance wars. If you rashly get involved in the chaos of Tianjin and Huaihe, not only will you not benefit, but you will be destroyed. Now Beiyan has a heavy army going straight to Nantang, Beiyan The country is empty, so it is better not to take Nantang and counterattack Beiyan. Beidi and Beiyan are adjacent. Even if He Lanqi turns back after hearing the news and Beidi loses, he can return to his own land. Although Beiyan is not richer than Nantang, after all, it has been established for a hundred years. Leaving aside Beidi's neighbors, even taking captives from the cities they pass through is enough."
