Qinghan asked, "What do you mean is that the person just now came out of Nan Zhenyi's room?"
When this sentence was said, even his own voice became hoarse, his tone was full of disbelief, and under the dim light, Chabixing's face also showed an uncertain expression for the first time. He lowered his head and thought for a while, shook his head: "I, I don't know."
“…”
For a moment, all of us became quiet, and everyone seemed to know what to say.
I don’t know how long it took, a gust of wind blew, and almost blew out the lantern in his hand. I suddenly shivered. Looking back, it was already pitch black in front of me. The figure of the young man had long disappeared into the night. When I looked up, it was pitch black. The outline of the top of the mountain merged with the pitch black sky.
That young man went to Nan Zhenyi's room?
He knows Nan Zhenyi?
What is their relationship?
For a moment, countless doubts were rumbling in my mind like a tide. Chabixing glanced at me and said, "Let's go up first. This is the wind gust and it will be cold."
I nodded and everyone followed him and continued to walk up.
Up the stairs, you will pass through the second gate of the academy, Tianyi Gate.
After passing this Tianyi Gate, I felt that it was pitch black in front of me. The sky was so dark that I could not see anything. There was no spark here. I could only vaguely see a huge black shadow in front of me, like a mountain blocking my eyes. Zhesheng stared at the front in surprise: "What is this?"
However, all three of us had their own thoughts and no one paid attention to him. Chabixing led us to the side.
The night was as dark as a heavy curtain hanging in front of me, and it was difficult to open it. Even though Chabixing was holding a lantern in his hand, it could only illuminate the small inch of land under his feet. Everything around was pitch black and unpredictable. We followed him for a few turns, and then seemed to walk onto a long corridor. I felt that the wind was very strong here, and my clothes were blowing up. Qinghan also reached out and held me in his arms without any hesitation. He could still hear the sound of a mountain spring falling from a very high peak not far away. After walking for a while, he finally passed through the long corridor.
Then, we seemed to have arrived at another mountain terrace, and could vaguely see the outlines of some uneven houses. It was so quiet that it could not even hear a vocal sound. Only the footsteps of a few of us were immediately swallowed up by the dark night. After a long journey, Chabixing took us to the doors of a row of rooms.
He said: "There are only two empty rooms here, so I can only give it a try tonight."
Qinghan asked, "Is this your room?"
He shook his head: "My room is on the other side, but there are no other rooms in the room that is the only one. Tonight, I think it's better for me to be with you."
He seemed a little worried, so he turned to Zhesheng and said, "Let's squeeze it."
Zhesheng nodded.
Qinghan and I didn't say anything. Chabixing first accompanied us in, lit the candles in the room, prepared some hot water to clean us for a little while, and then he left.
I originally wanted to keep him here to talk about what happened today, but the appearance of that young man seemed to have had a little impact on him. His expression was a little dazed and he didn't say much.
This room is quite large, probably because the students are here for learning rather than enjoyment, and there are very few furniture and appliances. But because of this, the room is clean and clean, which gives people a very comfortable feeling. After hiking for so long, and facing such a complex situation, I need something simple and clear to calm myself down.
Qinghan looked back at me: "Do you want to sleep now?"
I said, "Where can I sleep?"
He sighed.
I don’t know if it’s destined. I have been to many places in my life. Xishan Academy should be the shortest time in the place I stay, but the important people and things in my life are more or less closely related to it. Even as soon as I entered the mountain gate today, I got so many messages that I didn’t dare to think about.
Just as I was sitting at the table in silence, staring at the candlelight on the table, Qinghan poured a glass of water and stuffed it into my hand.
I didn't drink it, and looked down at the clear water in the cup swaying slightly, reflecting the candlelight, as if something was about to break through it and rushed out.
He looked at my drooping eyelashes and said, "What do you think?"
I looked up at him: "What did you say?"
“…”
He was silent for a moment and said, "I think it's a thing."
My mind was still messy for a moment. I only looked at him. His face was a little pale, and there was a heavy shadow under the corners of his eyes. However, his eyes still looked very clear. He said, "We both went to Dad Hu's house to see it. There was a red dress under the armor. Do you remember that Dad Hu once said that the clothes and armor were originally the same."
I nodded.
When I first saw that set of chain mail in the attic of Mr. Hu's house, the armor was like blood, and it left a deep impression on me because of the crimson-red clothes below.
I said, "Under the chain mail of the Longxi Army, the uniform dress was all red clothes. Zhesheng said that the record in the Imperial Heaven Calendar he saw was - the world, which was obtained by those who were red-clothed."
Qinghan nodded.
I couldn't help but gasp.
Zhesheng obviously thought of the article "Yunji Qixuan" that Qiao Lin did not respond when competing with others, "The Red Emperor in the Japanese is the one who is famous for Dan Xuzhi". The imperial examination calendar records such words - "The world is obtained by the Red Man". If it is just the word "Red Man", then I can think too much, not to mention it far away. Just the painting drawn by my father, my mother is a red shadow.
However, Zhesheng remembered that the sentence in the calendar was a record of the Longxi Army.
The Longxi Army dressed in red clothes, but the celestial phenomena of that year showed signs of "the world is obtained by those who are red clothes."
My voice was a little hoarse, and I whispered: "Is this the reason for the destruction of the Longxi Army?"
Qinghan looked at me and said, "You are closer than anyone else, and you have witnessed the battle for the imperial city to fight for the throne more truly. You should understand the cause and effect very well."
“…”
I nodded.
Indeed, I witnessed the earth-shaking battle for the throne in the imperial city from almost to the end, and I also saw the ups and downs of everyone in it. Pei Yuanhao, Pei Yuanxiu, and Pei Yuanchen, some of whom had reached the sky, some were defeated and even those who were deliberately protected were poisoned.
In such a shocking catastrophe, not many people can escape unscathed.
So a hundred years ago, the Longxi Army was guarding Longxi as a royal family. They were well-equipped, brave and good at fighting. Such people were obviously a weapon of the country, but equally, those in power would always be wary of this weapon that would plunge into their hearts.
People sitting on the dragon throne are often the most cautious people who have the same surname as them, have the most similar blood relationship, and have the same inheritance rights.
I swallowed: "So, if the people from the Imperial Heavenly Prison had recorded the signs of this celestial phenomenon in the almanac, of course, they would also report it to the emperor. If the emperor believed in this sign, he would definitely take precautions, or -"
Qinghan said: "Precautions? How to prevent such things? Why not just say it and start!"
“…!”
Yes, start!
Therefore, a brave and invincible army in the northwest will be destroyed overnight and suddenly disappear into the smoke and dust of history, and even the records about them will be destroyed by time.
I shivered.
Although I had witnessed too many traitors and too many revenge in the red walls of the imperial city in the first half of my life, I would never be able to get used to this kind of thing. When I think of the people from the Longxi Army who are now buried under the lake, what fears they experienced back then, I felt my hair stand upright.
What I can't imagine even more is what role the Pei clan played in this matter.
So much so that later, they wanted to build the imperial tomb in the distant northwest to suppress evil spirits!
Qinghan turned his head and looked at me, looking at my pale face that was almost transparent under the candlelight, sighed and said softly, "Forget it, let's go to bed early."
I shook my head and grabbed his wrist again: "Then you just said, two things are one thing, and the end of the day-"
He glanced at me, sighed softly, and said, "Don't forget, we met that young man in Fengxiang City, why did he go there."
Then I suddenly remembered: "Chainmail!"
At that time, in order to lead Hu Liu to spy on the chain mail, we agreed to help him pay off his gambling debt. As a result, when we entered the gambling house, we found that the young man and the owner of the gambling house were conspiring to this matter behind the scenes. The owner of the gambling house was obviously just an intermediary, and the young man's purpose was to get the set of chain mails.
Qinghan said: "In this world, I think there are not many people who remember the Longxi Army. What I can remember should be some of the relationship with the Longxi Army. Why did that person know? And I think it is the key to the matter if he wants to get that set of armor."
I thought about it and said, "The things in this world are nothing more than two things, love and interests. What is he for?"
“…”
"If it's a benefit, then he might have obtained a chain mail and imitated this sophisticated armor like Mr. Hu."
Qinghan nodded: "It makes sense. Don't forget that he is the leader of Miaosan Sect. Master Ye is a descendant of Ye Xiaonian, the great marshal of Pingxi. Since he was born in a soldier, he must be very yearning for this kind of armor."
I said again, "Where is love-?"
“…”
"What's the relationship between him and the Longxi Army?"
Qinghan was silent for a while and said slowly: "If it is said that according to interests, the matter is related to Master Ye; then according to feelings, will the matter be related to - the person he came to meet tonight?"
