Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Key

The water flow is shallow, and the stone slabs flow into a fork. The water in front of it is divided into three paths. The left and right are still creeks. Come to the slate, look up and look around, it turns out that you have entered another underground cave, facing the rock wall across the stream, there seem to be many lakes in the center of the cave, and there are protruding rocks in the middle. Looking after the torch, I saw that the color of Haizi water in front of me was divided into several layers, from light blue to dark black. I thought the shallow part was very shallow, and the deep part was very deep, with layers of circles, which was very beautiful. Ayu thought about it, this time Even though there are wonders everywhere, it is a pity that no one appreciates them in this dark cave, so he sighed unconsciously.Li Yuanfang and Di Chun followed Di Renjie's side. Hearing Ayu's unreasonable sigh and seeing that Ayu's clothes were already wet, he thought that the cold and damp air in the cave was heavy, so he took off his still dry outer robe and handed it to Ayu without saying a word. .Ayu took it with a giggle, and in a blink of an eye she saw Linyue standing aside with her arms folded. Her clothes were soaked in water, and there were still drops of water dripping from her hair. On Yue's body, Linyue looked down, and saw that the blood on the outer robe had faded a lot. Looking back, she saw that there was no blood on Yang Ju's inner shirt. She felt suspicious, and said lightly, "Thank you." Then she walked towards Di Renjie. Go, give a light salute and say: "Master Di, General Li, thank you for saving me." His face was very cold and arrogant.

Di Renjie knew that there was still a knot in her heart, so he didn't take it seriously, he laughed and said: "Miss, you don't need to be too polite." Then he said: "Miss, is your body ready now?" Linyue sneered slightly, turned to Wang Qian and said, "I didn't kill the nurse's son, so naturally I wasn't really scared by you." Wang Qian was furious for a while, and saw that at this moment, even the black three was the only one around, and he seemed to be unable to trust her. He really couldn't do anything to her, and couldn't continue saying "you, you", and caught a glimpse of Yang Ju's face gloomy. Looking at him, he had to cough and stop talking.

Di Renjie saw it in his eyes, and said to Linyue: "At this time, girl, would you like to tell me how you got involved in this treasure of Tara?" Linyue thought to herself that there were many doubts in the past few days, not to mention the discovery of the treasure right now, even if it is unknown whether she can escape from birth, she did not hide her words at the moment, she lowered her head and recalled, and slowly talked about it. "This marriage was beyond my expectation. If the crown prince hadn't remembered that I was still in my boudoir, I'm afraid I would end up in that place for the rest of my life. It was a long and hard journey from Chang'an to Tubo. Along the way, Yang Ju I said that I am loyal to the prince and take good care of me, so I will pay more attention to him," Lin Yue smiled self-deprecatingly at this point.

"Later, I wanted to escape with him before arriving in Tubo and live in seclusion in the countryside. Yang Ju only said that this matter needs to be discussed in the long run. That day when the team sent the relatives to Huangyuan County, my maid Xiaoyun overheard Wang Qian said something like 'princess', 'torture' and 'refusal to speak' to others in the room. Xiaoyun only thought it would endanger me, so he hurried to my room to tell him, and knocked down the corridor on the corridor in panic. I don’t know if Wang Qian has seen it. Although I’m far away from Chang’an, but I’ve been used to seeing the cruel and brutal things in the palace for many years, I still have lingering fears, fearing that ‘that person’ will not let me go. Panicked, Yang Ju came to me and told me that Wang Qian was a man of the King of Yue, and he was in the procession of seeing off his relatives. He was looking for a treasure hidden in a Buddha statue of Tara, but the statue was now in the hands of the son of Princess Wencheng's wet nurse. Qian found it and was tortured in every possible way, but he still refused to reveal the secrets of the Buddha statue. Yang Ju said that there was Taizong's decree in the treasure, and that the treasure was built to be kept by the descendants of the Li family and used to calm the chaos in Jingguo. Yang Ju originally agreed to help The King of Yue was looking for the treasure, but he didn't want the treasure to be obtained by the King of Yue first, so he asked me to pretend to save the nurse's son and hide it in a house in the mountains outside the city.

I hated 'that person' deeply in my heart, so I acted according to the plan, deliberately revealed my identity in front of the nurse's son, and then rescued him. Here, Yang Ju only said that I was tired from the long distance and could not see guests. I was in Huangyuan City. After resting for two days, I still couldn't figure out the secret, so Xiaoyun pretended to be me and continued on my way. Fortunately, given the situation in my palace, the only people close to me were Xiaoyun and other two or three people. Yang Ju's confidants replaced Li with peaches, but no one noticed.Yang Ju made an appointment with me on the date of meeting in Ningzhou, and gave me a pack of medicine powder, and told me to silence him afterwards.A few days later, the nurse's son finally reassured me, told me about the pill and the key, and said that the treasure was originally owned by the royal family surnamed Li, and now that he told me, it was only returned to the original owner.I pity him for his loyalty, and I didn't want to harm him. Unexpectedly, someone sneaked into the house that day and killed him and the people I served with him, but did not hurt me alone. "

After Lin Yue finished speaking, she looked at Hei San behind Wang Qian, and said slowly, "Now I know who the killer is." Hei Sanben stood quietly in the dark, dressed in black. If he didn't speak, people would not be able to detect his existence. Hearing this, he raised his head, and couldn't see the expression clearly on his ordinary face. He stepped forward He took a step forward and said frankly: "I am the killer." He bowed his head and thought for a while, as if he had gained courage, and said in a hoarse voice: "The villain is humble, I dare not think anything about the princess, I just want to do something for the princess. The princess doesn't have to doubt small matters." After finishing speaking, she stood by Lin Yue's side and didn't return to Wang Qian's place.

Di Renjie nodded, and said to Linyue: "According to what you said, Wang Qian should not know that you stayed in Huangyuan to collect the key?" "That's right, Yang Ju was going to get the treasure first, so she didn't hide it from him." Lin Yue looked at Wang Qian, saw that he was sweating on his forehead and didn't know how to deal with himself, then looked back at Di Renjie, her eyes lit up, as if there was something wrong with him. Enlightenment. Di Renjie asked again: "What date did you make an appointment with Yang Ju?" Lin Yue thought for a while, and said: "I made an appointment with him the day before yesterday, but because I missed the journey, I only met Yang Ju yesterday."

"Oh?" Di Renjie turned to Yang Ju and said, "Is there anything special about it?" Yang Juben stood aside with a gloomy face. He was taken aback when he heard the words, and said: "It turned out that my grandfather once said that 'Jia Chen is for profit', but I don't know what year, month, day and time he was referring to. Regarding the prediction, I estimated the time required by Lin Yue, so I casually booked the date in advance, Wang Qian and the others knew about this, but I just don’t know if it’s right or not.” Di Renjie nodded and said: "According to the past, today is Jiachen Day.

Di Renjie said: "Since you have escaped, why do you still have to go to Ningzhou for the appointment?" Lin Yue sneered and said, "For more than ten years, the hatred in my heart has been increasing day by day, how could I be willing to give up? Besides, the world is so big, where can I live alone?" Even though she is very strong, she still can't hide her eyes. Live that point lonely and helpless. Di Renjie sighed softly, and said: "When you arrived in Ningzhou, you met Yang Ju and told where the pills and keys were hidden, but Wang Qian, who had been lying in the dark, overheard him, stabbed Yang Ju, and took you away. Arrived at the villa, but like this?"

Lin Yue nodded. Di Renjie said again: "Did the nurse's son tell you how to use the key?" Lin Yue said, "No." Di Renjie chuckled, his eyes were like torches, he looked at Yang Ju and said, "So that's how it is!" Yang Ju only felt that Di Renjie's eyes seemed to have seen everything, so he could only be embarrassed and remained silent. After listening quietly for a long time, Ayu couldn't hold back anymore, and said to Yang Ju: "You are not as good as Lin Yue!" After saying that, she pointed to Hei San.Yang Ju was extremely angry, and it was inconvenient to do anything in front of Di Renjie, so he just snorted coldly.

Seeing the tense situation among the people, Li Yuanfang suddenly said in a deep voice: "Ayu, don't make trouble anymore, we are in a dangerous situation now, we should save some energy to deal with emergencies." Di Renjie also said: "You two's clothes are wet, go over there and clean them up." Ayu took Linyue's hand and went to tidy up. Suddenly, Linyue saw Ayu blinking at her, and whispered to her, "Do you want to see if Yang Ju is sincere to you?" Here Di Renjie brought Li Yuanfang and Di Chun along the stream to check the situation in the cave. Li Yuanfang asked as he walked, "My lord, I always feel that the copper box is not the key to unlock the treasure." "Oh?" Di Renjie said: "What do you think, let's talk about it." "If the copper box is really the key to unlock the treasure, then the stone pillar just now is the door of the treasure, but we have not seen the treasure except for being washed here by the water; besides, the person who made this key is also strange. , since it is convenient to open it in the future, why do I feel that he is in a difficult situation everywhere, as if he doesn't want people to enter the treasure?" "Well, you're right," Di Renjie nodded and said, "Assuming the copper box is the key, one possibility is that we didn't use the key correctly, and the other possibility is that the person who made it had other intentions." Hearing this, Di Chun remembered that he had just picked up the copper box and put it in his bosom, and was about to take it out when he found that the secretion of the strange flower was very sticky, and the copper box was attached to his inner shirt. To move, if you want to take it off, you have to slowly uncover it from the clothes. Li Yuanfang smiled when she saw this, and stepped forward to help.The copper box was removed, but Di Chun's white underwear was covered with mucus and corpses of ants. Li Yuanfang suddenly called out, "My lord, come and see." Di Renjie took a closer look, and found that the black ant corpse was left on the clothes, which just reversed the patterns on the copper box. Di Chun hurriedly tore off the clothes and handed them to Di Renjie, but saw that there were some decorative patterns on it. A line of seal characters wraps around the rhombus shape on the outer circle of the copper box, and after careful identification, it is engraved: Bi Fang Yuhuo Dingqi Yiling, Fushuixia Yuejing Yitianguan. Li Yuanfang and Di Chun were puzzled, Di Renjie also shook his head, put the cloth in his arms, turned to see Yang Ju and Wang Qian were wading across the stream to look after the rock wall, Ayu and Linyue followed leisurely , both let their hair down, simply tied it in a bun at the back of their heads, and both wore long robes. From a distance, the two were somewhat similar.
